I'm in a Kamen Rider group, and I've joined a tokusatsu chat group.

Chapter 138 Tsukasa Kadoya: I wonder if I could also be a suitable candidate.

As the first rays of dawn pierced the dark sky, the color of the sky gradually changed from deep black to light gray.

In the distance, the mountain ranges gradually became clearer under the morning sun, as if they were draped in an orange-red veil.

"Lizi..."

Inside the hospital ward, Kazuki Komon sat by the bed, his hands clasped tightly to his forehead as he silently prayed for Riko Saida.

"She'll definitely wake up..."

Last night, when the distress call reached their self-rescue team, the familiar voice made Komon Kazuki momentarily stunned.

It's that girl's voice...

Upon hearing the voice, Kazuki Komon's heart skipped a beat.

A bad feeling crept over me. This was a call from the self-rescue team, which meant...

When Kazuki Komon and his group arrived at the accident scene, towering flames were burning before their eyes, and vehicles that had overturned on the road were covered in flames, with crackling and popping sounds coming from the burning vehicles.

Riko Saita is now the only one left in the family of four.

He himself was also seriously injured...

"How am I supposed to explain her family to Riko..." Kazuki Komon hung his head, unsure how to explain the situation to Riko.

Standing at the door of the ward, Tsukasa Kadoya looked at the scene inside through the glass door and stroked his chin: "Izanagi, aren't we being a little unfair to this kid by doing this?"

"Otherwise, there's no other good way." Higashino Rin waved his hand helplessly.

If the Saita family continues to live in the sunlight, darkness will eventually find them.

This is the only way that Higashino Rin can think of to help them escape.

Zagi and the alien beasts are not something they can handle at present.

Although Higashino Rin was thinking of recruiting Super Taro, if he managed to get rid of Zagi, the universe would be in trouble.

So, let's proceed step by step and let Zaki recover first, and then...

Hehe, Zagi should also taste the power of the Ultra Gang.

You, Zagi, can control alien beasts as an army, but our Ultraman gang isn't to be trifled with either.

“However, I’ve also been thinking about something.” Higashino stroked his chin and glanced at Komon Kazuki, who was about to leave after saying goodbye to Saida Riko.

Tsukasa Kadoya put down the magenta camera hanging around his neck.

He had already filmed that scene.

Arriving in a completely new world, photographing the things in this world seems to have become a part of Tsukasa Kadoya's life.

"Hmm?" Tsukasa Kadoya looked at Rin Higashino with a puzzled expression.

"nothing."

Seeing the puzzled look on Kadoya Tsukasa's face, Higashino Rin waved his hand.

I almost forgot, Brother Xiaoming doesn't understand this world.

Dark Lucifer exists within what Nexus calls scrapped cases.

This Dark Lucifer is not a Dark Giant, but a collection of alien beasts.

The Progenitor of the Alien Beasts, THE ONE, was destroyed by Nexter's beam five years ago, but... Nexter, lacking sufficient energy, was unable to completely eliminate the Progenitor's cells.

These cells, after five years of development, have become the various alien beasts that exist today. It can be said that... all of these alien beasts can be called the progenitors of alien beasts.

Dark Lucifer is the form that evolved from the progenitor of the alien beasts after he hid and devoured the dark energy of Dark Faust, Dark Mephisto, and Dark Zagi.

Therefore, whether a Dark Lucifer truly exists in this world is something we need to be wary of.

"already left."

Tsukasa Kadoya crossed his arms and watched Kazuki Komon leave with a dejected expression.

"Are we going to leave this world too?"

"It's almost done, just one more thing..."

Before the words were finished, a chill swept over me.

"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived."

Higashino looked toward the ward where Saito Riko was; thick darkness enveloped the entire ward like a tide.

Higashino Rin squinted, his gaze seemingly piercing through the endless darkness to fall on the figure standing beside the hospital bed.

A black trench coat rustled under the vibrations of dark energy, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Anything I, Goroki Masaya, have my eye on won't escape my grasp." Goroki Masaya gazed at Saita Riko lying in the hospital room, stroking his chin with his right hand. "I could have given you a quick death, but alas..."

"Then, let's get started."

Goroki also slightly stepped aside to make way, and the thick darkness gradually coalesced into a figure with dark red stripes on its body. There was a metallic pattern under its right eye that looked like a tear stain, and its eyes and timer were both black.

—Dark Faust!

"From this moment on, you are my puppet, Dark Faust!"

"Hahaha--"

As darkness surged into Riko Saita's body, Makoto Mizoroki laughed loudly.

The blank dial located within Riko Saito's body trembled slightly, beginning to frantically absorb the surging dark energy.

The dark red shadow of the pointer moved across the blank dial, eventually pointing to the twelve o'clock position.

The image of Dark Faust appears on the dial!

The Dark Faust dial has been successfully manufactured!
Looking at Riko Saida lying on the hospital bed, transformed into the Dark Faust, Makoto Mizoroki's lips curled up.

"Now you are Faust, Dark Faust!"

"Komori Kazuki..." Mizoroki Makoto glanced at the fruit basket on the counter and snorted coldly, "I'd be more than happy to see you fall into darkness..."

As the sound faded, Goroki Makoto's figure gradually turned into darkness and disappeared.

"Looks like they've already left." As the chill dissipated, Tsukasa Kadoya stroked his chin.

"Let's go, Brother Ming."

Higashino said something, then pushed open the door and went inside.

Lying on the hospital bed, Riko Saito slowly opened her eyes, feeling the power within her body, and a smile appeared on her face, "I succeeded."

"It's a success." Higashino Rin nodded.

As the voice faded, the Dark Faust dial within Riko Saita's body transformed into a dark red dot of light and landed in Rin Higashino's hand.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Are all these Dark Ultra Warriors like this? Why does this thing look like a clown?"

Looking at Dark Faust, Tsukasa Kadoya clicked his tongue in amazement.

"The clown?" Higashino Rin was silent for a while. It seemed that Dark Faust really did have clown elements.

No, most Dark Giants have this factor.

"Dark Faust!"

Gently press the dial of Dark Faust, and a deep, resonant voice will ring out.

"Brother Xiaoming, give it a try."

"Huh?" Tsukasa Kadoya was taken aback, looking at Rin Higashino's outstretched arm, and quickly shouted, "Why is it...?"

Before Tsukasa Kadoya could finish speaking, the Dark Faust watch face had already been placed into Tsukasa Kadoya's body by Rin Higashino.

Darkness enveloped Tsukasa Kadoya like threads.

The moment the threads disappeared, Tsukasa Kadoya's figure was replaced by Dark Faust.

"How was it, Brother Ming?"

Looking at Tsukasa Kadoya, who had transformed into Dark Faust, Higashino Rin said with great interest.

"It feels pretty good, but this power... it feels a bit uncontrollable..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tsukasa Kadoya raised his hand and swung it at Rin Higashino.

Using public office to settle personal scores?!

Seeing the arm tearing through the air as it hurtled towards him, Higashino Rin quickly raised his left hand.

Bang!

Mars collided and emerged.

Higashino Rin's left arm has been transformed into Another Zi-O armor.

"Xiao! Ming!! Brother!!!"

Looking at the expressionless face of Faust, Higashino could just imagine the smug smile on Kadoya Tsukasa's face.

"Rin, let me explain..." Tsukasa Kadoya quickly raised his hand. "No, I mean let me explain."

"I really haven't adapted to this power."

Riko Saito smiled as she watched the two playfully bickering.

"They're all good people, just like Gu Men..."

……

After handing the Dark Faust watch face to Riko Saida and giving her some instructions, Rin Higashino and Tsukasa Kadoya left the hospital.

Wandering aimlessly down the street, Tsukasa Kadoya looked around.

"This kind of world is much more dangerous than the world of knights."

Recalling the enormous figure from last night, Tsukasa Kadoya sighed.

Its gigantic body could deliver a destructive blow far more powerful than any monster in the Knights series.

Higashino Rin nodded silently.

In such a world, without power... one can only be slaughtered.

"Where are we going now?" Tsukasa Kadoya asked, puzzled.

"Go and meet the host of Ultraman Nexus in this world."

"A suitable candidate?" Tsukasa Kadoya stroked his chin. "I remember Zero saying that humans who can use the powers of Ultra Warriors are called human hosts, right? Who is this suitable candidate?"

Tsukasa Kadoya frowned. He knew about human hosts, but what was this "fitter"?
“Unlike other Ultra Warriors, Ultraman Nexus is not a single human being. The bond between them will continue to be passed down among humans,” Higashino Rin explained.

"I see." Tsukasa Kadoya stroked his chin. "So, if I stayed in this world, wouldn't that be...?"

“It’s possible, but…” Higashino Rin looked at Kadoya Tsukasa and said with a smile, “I still don’t recommend doing that. The last person who staged an accident even turned off the lights.”

"A staged accident?" Tsukasa Kadoya's lips curled into a smirk.

No, do you think I, Tsukasa Kadoya, am the kind of person who would stage an accident to extort money?

He's the most kind-hearted Kamen Rider ever! If a stray dog ​​gets kicked on the street, he'll squat down and give it a good treatment.

"I'm the most loving Kamen Rider, so becoming Nexus's host seems like a good fit, right?" Tsukasa Kadoya's lips curled up.

“Yes, yes, yes,” Higashino Rin said helplessly.

"Let's go, we should go find that suitable candidate." Higashino Rin took out a newspaper from his dimensional space.

"An outstanding war correspondent—Jun Himeya..."

Tsukasa Kadoya glanced at the newspaper in Rin Higashino's hand; the headline on the newspaper was very eye-catching.

"Jun Himeya..."

Tsukasa Kadoya murmured.

Before Tsukasa Kadoya could react, the Aurora Curtain swept past the two of them in an instant.

"This is……"

TLT Base
In the dimly lit room, the jellyfish in the aquarium shimmered with starlight, making them exceptionally beautiful in the darkness.

Kira Yu, the one with the foresight, rubbed the table with his right hand, his eyes reflecting the image of the black King Joe.

"Alien robots..."

Kirasawa Yuu looked at the visitors in the aquarium and asked, "Have you ever seen a space robot of this size before?"

Visitors swam slowly inside the aquarium.

"This is."

Looking at the special signal displayed on the instrument, Kira Zeyu murmured to himself.

"This location is..."

Before Kira Zeyu could even begin recording, the signal vanished without a trace, becoming impossible to detect.

"What the hell is this?"

Kira Zeyu frowned.

In the dimly lit room, Kira Sawa's sighs echoed for a long time.

……

Two days later.

"Where is this place?"

Endless darkness engulfed Jun Himeya like a tidal wave, leaving him powerless and feeling as if he were falling into water, followed by a sense of weightlessness.

"Accurate...accurate..."

Sera's voice rang in my ears, accompanied by a faint light.

"Sierra!"

Jun Himeya shouted, reaching out with his right hand toward the faint light.

Ripples spread outwards, and the darkness that surged in like a tide instantly receded.

"Where...is this...?"

Standing in the dense forest, Jun Himeya looked at the scene in the distance with a look of horror on his face.

The scene at dusk features the towering Trident Mountain, surrounded by statues depicted in various religions.

Buddhist stone statues, Mayan pyramids, etc.

Elements from different countries blend together harmoniously around Trident Mountain.

Are you calling me?

Jun Himeya murmured, feeling the driving force in his heart, and Sera's smile appeared in his mind.

"Is that the exit?" he murmured to himself, then a determined look appeared on his face as he charged toward the ruins.

Behind Himeya Jun, a series of ghostly figures formed a curtain that blotted out the sky, closely following Himeya Jun.

If Jun Himeya shows any sign of fear, darkness will engulf him.

...

"Is he Jun Himeya?"

In the field hospital, Tsukasa Kadoya looked at Jun Himeya lying on the hospital bed and stroked his chin.

"There doesn't seem to be anything special about it."

Higashino Rin looked at Himeya Jun and muttered, "He's about to obtain the Light of Nexus."

"Light?" Tsukasa Kadoya looked around and scratched his head. "There's none here."

He didn't feel any light either.
Lying in the hospital bed, Jun Himeya felt just like an ordinary person.

So, how does the Light of Nexus select its suitable candidates?

Higashino Rin smiled.

When he gained Reiblood's power, his body also changed, and now he is probably half a human.

Therefore, in Higashino Rin's eyes, Himeya Jun is now like a human being radiating light.

In the Ultraman universe, a glowing human is a symbol of the human form of Ultraman.

The intense light always attracted the attention of the beings from the dark universe.

Fortunately, no other extraterrestrials from Nexus visited Earth, otherwise…

If the alien beast factor is taken away from Earth, that would be a real problem.

"That is--"

Tsukasa Kadoya stared at Jun Himeya in surprise. A bright light burst forth from Jun Himeya, and a sound that resembled a heartbeat echoed in the ward.

A white transformation device, about the size of a short dagger, appeared on Jun Himeya's body.

Evolve the trustworthy!
It is the standard equipment for those chosen as candidates by Ultraman Nexus.

The gem at the center of the Evolution Trustee shimmered with an emerald light, while simultaneously emitting a heartbeat-like sound.

"Sierra!"

Himeya Jun shouted and struggled to his feet, covered in sweat.

Gasping for breath, Jun Himeya looked at the Evolution Truster floating in front of him, his eyes flickering.

"This……"

"Congratulations, Mr. Himeya Jun. From now on, you are the host of Ultraman Nexus," Higashino Rin said with a smile.

"Nexus? Ultraman? The suitable candidate?"

Himeya Jun paused for a moment, then looked at Higashino Rin and Kadoya Tsukasa, asking warily, "Who are you?"

Upon hearing the familiar language, Jun Himeya became extremely wary.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Himeya. We're just here to witness the awakening of light," Higashino Rin quickly said.

"in addition…"

Higashino looked towards the door and said softly, "Sera, come in."

“Sera…Sera.”

As the little girl walked into the ward, Jun Himeya's hands trembled.

But...but Sera clearly...clearly...

The image of Serra being bombarded flashed through my mind.

"You two should have a good talk first."

Seeing the two of them, Higashino Rin then pulled Kadoya Tsukasa out.

"I also want to know how to obtain light."

Reaching the doorway, Tsukasa Kadoya looked at the two people inside the ward and said helplessly.

Higashino Rin rolled his eyes at Kadoya Tsukasa, "But luckily we arrived in time, otherwise..."

Thinking back to when they arrived in this country two days ago, the two inquired about the locals before heading to find Jun Himeya.

When they found Jun Himeya, he had already fainted, while Sera...

However, this was not a difficult task for Higashino Rin.

He's already quite adept at reversing time.

Moreover, he can now rewind time for just one person.

The process of reversing the flow is a bit abstract.

However, the ending was still good.

The door opened, and Sera stood by the door while Jun Himeya sat on the hospital bed watching the two of them.

"So, can you tell me what this is?"

Himeya Jun glanced at the Evolution Trust in his hand, then his gaze fell on Higashino Rin and Kadoya Tsukasa.

He desperately wanted to know about Sera… and what exactly was that dagger-like object in his hand, and the ruins from his dream…

"of course can."
