Who made him Ultraman!

Chapter 163 Subduing Hirukawa Mitsuhiko, the Artificial Nexus is Attacking! (9.2K)

someone! ?
Sweat beaded on Hirukawa Mitsuhiko's forehead as he pondered who the middle-aged man before him really was.

He immediately put a knife to his own neck, and his eyes were chilling, as if he were looking at another tiny species!

Is he a murderer? Or a madman?

“Sir… I just happened to be passing by.”

Mitsuhiko Hirukawa raised his hands above his head and forced a smile.

Then he noticed... what the man was pressing against his neck wasn't a fruit knife, but... a toy?

This is like a toy sword sold to children in a roadside shop!
Threaten him with a toy?

"Who are you? Answer me." Serizawa Kazuya's gaze was cold.

Shingo Sakamizu arranged for him to stay in this mansion, which was a temporary place of refuge, but he was not used to sleeping in human dwellings at all.

He was having trouble sleeping again, and just as he was about to go outside to stretch his legs...

This stranger appeared in front of his mansion.

He had a furtive and sneaky appearance, completely different from any human he had ever seen before; he was undeniably ugly.

With Bogaru's death, he could feel his Ultra Heart gradually returning, so he simply questioned him.

If it were in the past...

Kazuya Serizawa narrowed his eyes, his gaze growing increasingly sharp.

"My name is Mitsuhiko Hirukawa, and I am a reporter for a newspaper."

"Sir, I... I really just happened to be passing by. I have a great reputation in the industry, and it's common for well-known reporters like me to work overtime."

"I was passing by this street after get off work and thought your house was quite impressive, so I stopped to take a second look!"

"This is my business card, please take a look."

Within seconds, Mitsuhiko Hirukawa had come up with a set of arguments.

He doesn't need to think before he lies; it's normal for someone like him to say ten lies out of ten sentences.

Kazuya Serizawa accepted the business card. The card was quite elegant, containing Mitsuhiko Hirukawa's ID photo, resume, and contact information.

"leave here."

He had no interest in "reporters," as long as they weren't his enemies.

Kazuya Serizawa pushed open the iron gate, turned on the light, and the light illuminated his profile clearly.

"okay!"

As Hirukawa Mitsuhiko bowed and was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of Serizawa Kazuya's profile.

That face... doesn't it look familiar?

"gentlemen!"

He called out hurriedly, and Serizawa Kazuya turned around, frowning.

Upon seeing that face, Mitsuhiko Hirukawa's eyes slowly widened...

Isn't that Kazuya Serizawa, the former captain of GUYS Japan branch?
The previous GUYS team was almost completely wiped out during their fight against the monsters, with only one member surviving. Kazuya Serizawa was, of course, among the victims. This is publicly known information.

However... he saw Kazuya Serizawa here?
Is the news released by GUYS false? What is the truth?
Was the previous GUYS team not completely wiped out, but rather replaced under the guise of "annihilation" because the higher-ups felt the team's performance was insufficient? Or was it due to internal political struggles and conflicts of interest?
Almost instantly, countless conspiracy theories flooded Hirukawa Mitsuhiko's mind.

But then he considered another problem: he had been cheated by that colleague with whom he had a good relationship!

If it weren't for Kazuya Serizawa stopping him at the last minute... just thinking about him breaking into the residence of a GUYS member to search for information, he would probably have been directly labeled as a "traitor"!
My life is over!
Kazuya Serizawa is such a good person.

But... since you're a good person, why don't you help me out a bit more?

With a sinister smile, Mitsuhiko Hirukawa turned on both the camera and the voice recorder, simultaneously recording video and audio.

He didn't step into the mansion; he just stood outside the iron gate, waving enthusiastically at Kazuya Serizawa:
"You're Serizawa, the former captain of GUYS' Japan branch, right? I never expected to see you here."

"I, Hirukawa, greatly admire you. After all, you led GUYS to fight against those terrifying monsters without any Ultra Warriors. You risked your life to protect us citizens. You truly deserve the title of hero!"

"Former Captain Serizawa..."

Serizawa Kazuya pondered the word, a hint of doubt appearing on his face.

This is Serizawa's business, what does it have to do with Hikari?
He refused outright:
"It's late, I need to rest, I won't be giving any interviews."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mitsuhiko Hirukawa continued:
"This is not an interview! I have great respect for heroes like you, and I just want to know the truth of what happened back then."

“The assistant officer of GUYS Japan branch, Shigekichi Toriyama, told us that the previous GUYS team was almost completely wiped out, with only one member surviving.”

"I am truly delighted to hear that you have survived, but... does this mean that the Japanese branch deceived us? What is the truth? Are the other team members still alive?"

"Why weren't you chosen as the captain of the new team? Your abilities are beyond question!"

Upon hearing this, Serizawa Kazuya looked at the disheveled reporter with a strange expression.

Is it even necessary to ask this question?

It is a fact that Kazuya Serizawa lost his life.

Even if he was reported dead but actually retired, what does that prove? The position of captain of the Earth Defense Force is naturally reserved for the capable. It's perfectly reasonable for the higher-ups to dismiss him if they felt he was unsuitable.

He really didn't understand why humans thought about things in this way.

"No comment. To reiterate, I'm taking a break."

No comment?

No comment... In a way, that answers his question!

Mitsuhiko Hirukawa seized the opportunity and pressed forward relentlessly:
"If the Japanese branch can't even be open and honest about personnel changes, can we still trust such an organization?"

"So... are the casualties and economic losses they report each time they deal with a monster disaster also false?"

"Captain Serizawa, as the former captain of GUYS, could you answer my question? This is really important to us citizens!"

He was seducing Serizawa Kazuya from the very beginning, and as long as the other party answered, no matter what the answer was, he achieved his goal.

Through the words of Kazuya Serizawa, the former captain of GUYS, the conclusion is drawn that GUYS released false information.

At this point, it was pointless for Kazuya Serizawa to respond or not; the situation was beyond repair.

He won from the moment he said "no comment"!

Of course, there's an even better outcome. That is, the former captain of GUYS, enraged by him, physically assaulted him! And that would make the news even more explosive!
[Former leader of GUYS openly assaults innocent civilian!]

Just as Mitsuhiko Hirukawa was fantasizing about his story being featured in every newspaper tomorrow, replacing the editor-in-chief, getting a promotion and a raise, and receiving bonuses galore...

In the distance, Serizawa Kazuya's body emitted a blue light, disappeared from the spot, and reappeared in front of him!
"What are you doing...!?"

Before Mitsuhiko Hirukawa could even cry out in alarm, a short sword pierced straight into his abdomen.

His clothes were instantly stained red with blood. He stared blankly at Serizawa Kazuya, his eyes wide open.

That toy... was actually a weapon?

“I have lost patience with you, human. Your motives are wicked, and eliminating you now... is doing them a favor.”

"Your mind is full of scheming and backstabbing; there's definitely more than one scumbag like you."

"Humans...you are not worthy of being compared with intelligent life forms."

Serizawa Kazuya spoke calmly, then with a sharp twist of his right hand, the knight's short sword churned in Hirukawa Mitsuhiko's abdomen, his screams of agony echoing incessantly!
"Serizawa Kazuya...you!"

Just then, the piercing sound of police sirens suddenly rang out, headlights illuminated the night, and more than a dozen police cars turned in, blocking the street.

Seeing this, Serizawa Kazuya drew his knight's short sword, wiped the bloodstains clean with Hirukawa Mitsuhiko's clothes, and then sheathed it. After that, the knight's aura disappeared.

With a thud, Hirukawa Mitsuhiko collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from his abdomen.

One of the police cars stopped in front of him, and three detectives got out.

Kiri glanced at Hirukawa Mitsuhiko, who was sprawled on the ground, and took a deep breath.

This... Ultraman Hikari actually wants to kill Mitsuhiko Hirukawa?
Fortunately, he arrived in time; otherwise, it could have been a serious mistake.

Kirito, Asahi, and Sawa Kazuya said kindly:

"Hello, former Captain Serizawa. My name is Kiri Ri, from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. I am responsible for your personal safety."

"Captain Kirito, it's that kid again!" A detective glared fiercely at Hirukawa Mitsuhiko.

After the apartment building incident, Mitsuhiko Hirukawa's infamy spread thoroughly within the Metropolitan Police Department.

I've seen unscrupulous reporters before, but I've never seen one as disgusting as this!
They're constantly trying every possible way to smear them and GUYS!

"Don't be rough. This guy needs to be taken to the GUYS base. Let's just give him a quick bandage first, so he doesn't die on the way."

Tong Li gave the order, and the two criminal police officers nodded and carried it out.

They wisely refrained from questioning why Hirukawa Mitsuhiko had a wound on his abdomen, which was clearly related to Serizawa Kazuya. To be nosy at this point...

Don't want to improve anymore?
Was he going to be sent to the GUYS base? A sense of lingering fear flashed in Hirukawa Mitsuhiko's eyes.

He struggled free as if he were going mad:

"Let me go! Let me go!! What right do you have to arrest me? I'm a citizen, a Japanese citizen, and I'm demanding taxes!"

"You managed to get into Commander GUYS's private residence... Who gave you that information? You're an alien spy, aren't you? A traitor, ugh, disgusting!"

"Take it away, take it away!"

Hirukawa Mitsuhiko was thus labeled a spy and a traitor, and put in a police car.

After a dozen or so police cars left, only Kiri and Serizawa Kazuya remained in front of the mansion's iron gate.

Kazuya Serizawa saw through Kirito's true colors at a glance:
"You are an alien, why are you mimicking an Earthling to serve them?"

"My hometown disappeared because of a monster... This place is my second hometown."

As Kirito finished speaking, a look of understanding flashed in Serizawa Kazuya's eyes:
"Is this all an act? An act aimed at that human?"

“That’s right… Ultraman Nexus told me to do this. He specifically instructed me to leave survivors and to act within the rules. I shared that view, but I never expected… you…”

Kiri shrugged helplessly, his meaning clear: Hikari, despite being an Ultraman, didn't follow Earth's rules at all.

"I am just a passerby. The Earth has nothing to do with me."

Kazuya Serizawa turned and walked into the mansion, closing the iron gate behind him.

After the other person entered the house, Tong Li breathed a sigh of relief:

"Is this really Ultraman? Talking to him is really stressful."

……

GUYS base, the corridor leading to the detention cells—

"Hey, let me go! What right do you have to arrest me? What do I have to do with aliens? Speak up!"

"Are you not even allowed to reveal the truth about GUYS to the public? This is an abuse of power! I'm going to report you! Let me go!!"

Yu Chen and his team members stood at the corner, watching as Hirukawa Mitsuhiko was escorted into the detention cell by two armed guards.

Reporting GUYS... has a connotation of "Who dares to accuse me, the official?"

drop--

With a mechanical sound, the cell door closed automatically. No one could see Mitsuhiko Hirukawa without the permission of a mid-level or higher officer, such as the captain or aide.

As for trying to destroy it from within... even if you take a Gatling gun and sweep it for ten thousand years, it won't help.

Even an anti-tank mine might not be able to penetrate it. It's fair to say that Mitsuhiko Hirukawa has completely said goodbye to the future.

Yu Chen had contacted Shingo Sakami in advance, agreeing that the imprisonment period would start at two years, and that the guy would only be released after all enemies who could threaten him had been eliminated.

However… Hikari actually attacked Hirukawa Mitsuhiko, which surprised him greatly.

As expected, the rules among the Ultra Warriors are not the same.

Hikari has not yet completely escaped the shadow cast by Bogaru. Although he is no longer the cold-blooded hunter who was indifferent to humans, he is also far from the gentle and kind "Superman Hikari" of the later generation.

Fortunately, Hikari still had a bottom line and did not kill anyone.

His intention in leaving Tong Li alive was precisely for this reason.

[Parallel Dimensional Correspondence] Under certain conditions, it will acquire the memories and powers of other counterparts.

Therefore, he wanted to keep Hirukawa Mitsuhiko in this prison, preventing him from contacting anyone, so as to isolate him from all external interference.

The fact that he was allowed to live was also related to "conditions." If Hirukawa Mitsuhiko died... who knows if he would be possessed by Dark Zagi?

Although the probability is less than one in ten thousand, we still have to consider the worst-case scenario.

"It's that reporter again. This time he actually tried to make a move against Serizawa... no, Ultraman Hikari. He's really asking for it."

“Those unscrupulous reporters have all quieted down recently, only Hirukawa Mitsuhiko is still thrashing about like a fish out of water. For a reporter like him who lacks professional ethics and integrity, he probably won’t be able to make a living if he stops smearing and spreading rumors.”

Aihara Ryu and George shook their heads repeatedly, their sarcastic remarks about Hirukawa Mitsuhiko never ceasing.

Last time... they were disgusted enough by this guy!
Just then, a figure stumbled over, his steps unsteady, his face flushed, and he was carrying two bottles of beer.

"Yuchen...Long! Everyone, everyone...how did you all get here? Weren't we just in the command room?"

He was so confused in the future that he couldn't even speak clearly. He just felt very happy, but he didn't know why he was so happy.

Everyone: "..."

Yu Chen took the two bottles of wine from his hand and handed them to Marina, then helped him walk towards the room.
"Your alcohol tolerance is rather low in the future. You shouldn't touch this kind of stuff next time."

He simply couldn't understand why he would get drunk after just one drink.

What an outrageous alcohol tolerance!

If he so chooses in the future, he could easily drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

However, it seems that... the future does not have this awareness.

Or perhaps he felt that being drunk was a good thing.

……

Early the next morning——

"Cough cough!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have brought you some good news!"

Toriyama walked up behind Shingo Sakami with his head held high and looked at the crowd.

After everyone looked at him expectantly, Maru immediately handed the briefcase to Toriyama.

Toriyama placed the briefcase on the table and then opened it. Three rows of capsules, totaling more than twenty, came into view.

The capsules contained various monsters that appeared to be made of soft rubber.

Zetton, Eleking, Gudon… everyone was dazzled.

Artificial evolution capsules? Yu Chen was taken aback; the time it took to develop this was later than he had expected.

"Assistant, please introduce yourself to everyone," Shingo Sakamizu said with a smile.

"Ahem... Well then, let me introduce you!"

After Toriyama's explanation, everyone seemed to understand but not quite.

"Man-made, evolved, monster?" Future asked, puzzled.

“Yes, it’s about using the past monster data recorded in the GUYS headquarters archives as a reference to recreate the monsters.” Toriyama nodded.

Aihara Ryu looked puzzled. What was this explanation all about?

Zheping suddenly realized: "I understand."

"It seems to be about combining the miniature machines sealed in capsules with the high-energy molecules produced by the Mister particle accelerator in the base's underground, and then transforming them into the appearance of corresponding monsters based on the data."

"So that's how it is. Meteor technology... it can actually be used like this?" Future was greatly shocked.

"Yes! Thanks to my proposal, the project was finally unbanned!" Toriyama patted his chest, extremely proud.

Yu Chen examined the capsules in the briefcase and said slowly:

"We can use meteor technology to bring monsters back to life in the real world and turn them into our allies. Now it's time to choose the right monsters as our partners, right?"

"Yes, Yu Chen is absolutely right!"

"So...does that mean we have the ability to summon monsters infinitely?" Teppei asked in surprise.

"That's not the case. The monster's activity time is still limited by the meteor technology, and it can only be active for one minute. Furthermore, after use, the capsule needs to be charged for one hour before it can be used again."

"Besides, not all monsters are suitable to be fighters. They're all enemies, which is quite troublesome. If you want to turn them into partners, you'll definitely encounter situations where they can't be used due to various unforeseen circumstances."

"Just like what Yu Chen said, we need to select monsters first. These capsules are trial versions, specially for our testing."

After Toriyama's explanation, everyone finally understood the situation.

A document that had been under the suitcase slipped to the floor as Teppei moved it. Marina picked it up, puzzled.

"What is this?" Maru immediately leaned closer:
"This is a letter of reminder from headquarters."

"A report must be compiled summarizing the evaluation and commentary on the experimental artificial evolution monsters."

"The aide is already overwhelmed by this matter, which is why it has been dragging on for so long."

"Oh...I see!" Everyone immediately understood and looked at Toriyama with ill intent.

"The deadline is tomorrow. It seems the aide wants us to help him complete the task?" Aihara Ryu grinned mischievously.

"pill!!!"

Toriyama was furious, but at that moment, Yu Chen's voice suddenly rang out.

"How do I select my partners? Does this computer have a combat testing function?"

Yu Chen took the laptop with the "GUYS" wing logo from Wan's hand. After opening it, two grooves were clearly visible on the right side of the computer.

"It really is."

"In that case, all we need to do is input all the monsters, let them compete in an elimination tournament, and decide the final winner, right?"

"A brilliant idea!" Zheping clapped his hands in approval.

Yu Chen pondered, recalling this part of the original story... Due to Toriyama's mistake, the Zetton capsule was dropped on the ground, causing it to be unable to be eliminated after being input into the battle space, almost leading to a major disaster.

But this scene doesn't happen now, so he can test these monster capsules with peace of mind.

Moreover, he also needs a capable henchman.

In the original "Mebius" series, the henchman is "Elemicles," a Mikula with "electric shock" abilities. However, this guy's combat power is mediocre; he's passable in the original series, but quite useless in this world.

He examined the capsules in the briefcase, and sure enough... a new capsule appeared.

Baltan aliens, Bira aliens, the three-faced monster Dada...

This is an alien enemy that appeared earlier. Its individual strength is not particularly strong; in fact, it can be said to be quite weak.

However, due to its unique abilities, it also brought them considerable trouble.

For example, the "Alien Identification Machine" was a terrifying incident that almost triggered internal strife!
Zheping's eyes suddenly widened as if he had discovered a treasure. He took out the capsule from the corner and inserted it into the slot next to the computer.

Immediately, the image on the large screen changed, showing the appearance of the cosmic dinosaur Zetton, along with various data and information.

"They even have Jetton!"

"Zetton? What's that, Dr. Monster?" Aihara Ryu asked, puzzled.

Upon seeing Jaden, Future's eyes dimmed, clearly recalling the words his brothers had told him.

Zheping excitedly introduced the items to everyone:

"This is a powerful monster that once killed Ultraman. It was first confirmed to have appeared forty years ago. The information is recorded in the Science Patrol's archives."

"Zetton has the ability to teleport, absorb Ultraman's beams, and create a three-dimensional defensive barrier with almost no blind spots!"

"Its ultimate attacks are the ray that kills Ultraman and the fireball with a temperature of one trillion degrees!"

"Huh? One trillion degrees? That number must be made up, right? How could there be such a high temperature? Is that even scientific?" Aihara Ryu retorted.

"Uh... that might not be true. When Zetton first appeared, the trillion-degree fireball only shattered the building's windows."

"I knew it! The number 'trillion' is ridiculous. But Zetton's abilities sound incredibly powerful; he's practically Ultraman's nemesis!"

"Then why not just use Jetton as our henchman?" Toriyama was quite pleasantly surprised; it seemed he could leave work early again today.

“Strong power is not always the deciding factor. Let’s input Zetton first, Teppei.”

Yu Chen gave the instructions, and Zhe Ping nodded and pressed Enter.

The image on the big screen changed again. In a desolate place, green particles appeared in a spiral shape and eventually transformed into the shape of Zetton.

"J-Dun!"

"Then... let's begin the testing."

Teppei eagerly took the first capsule, the underground monster Gudon, and inserted it into the groove.

Gudun's figure appeared in the battle space.

"Very good, then get on board, Gudon!" Toriyama snatched the headset, put it on his head, and gave the order to Gudon.

"We can't issue such vague orders; we need to be specific, very specific!"

Zheping took another headset and began instructing Jeton:
"Zetton, use a trillion-degree fireball to attack Gudon's head!"

The next instant, in the battle space, a blazing fireball struck Gudun squarely in the face.

With a bang, Gu Dun collapsed and dissipated into particles.

"A single, fatal blow—it's truly powerful!"

Seeing how powerful Zetton was, everyone became interested and started to have fun. They offered suggestions, put on headsets, and kept testing new monsters.

Yu Chen watched quietly from the side, observing the behavior of the two monsters on the screen.

Suddenly... he felt something was wrong.

Why does this feel so déjà vu?

[What kind of Ultraman fighting evolution ultra-realistic graphics version?]

And these so-called monster capsules... somehow seem to have a "Hikari inspiration" feel to them.
If you ever see Gydes in the future and he runs out of capsules, he can come to GUYS to get more.

The knockout stage was progressing very smoothly, with Jaden constantly defeating the monsters with an almost overwhelming force.

Patton, Eleking, and other classic enemies have all fallen.

Even aliens like the Bira aliens, who possess the ability to stop time, were helpless.

Zetton's stats are just too strong!

In the face of absolute numbers, everything else is just empty talk.

What are you babbling about? A basic attack interspersed with regular attacks finished him off.

However, despite Jetton's strong stats, Yu Chen was still not particularly satisfied.

Because his stats are stronger...

Oh well, at least it's better than the original Eremiculas.

Furthermore, it can undergo subsequent "elemental enhancement," perhaps even creating a Flame Zetton, or even an Elekedon.

Just as he was about to end the test, Toriyama suddenly reached into his pocket and pulled out four brand-new capsules.

"Hey...how could I have forgotten about these four capsules?"

Upon seeing the four capsules, Yu Chen was stunned.

Mebius, Nexus, Hikari, Tregear!?
He was just wondering why the Mebius capsule from the original series hadn't appeared.

It turns out Toriyama forgot to take it out.

Headquarters, research department, they actually managed to make his capsules?
"Eh!???"

In the future, he also caught a glimpse of the Mebius capsule, and his eyes widened as he stood there stunned.

Shocking the cat for ten thousand years.jpg
"Ultraman's capsule?" Teppei exclaimed in surprise.

Toriyama nodded:
"Yes, Nexus, Mebius, Hikari... This last Ultraman doesn't have a registered codename yet."

“Torregia, that’s his name,” Yu Chen reminded him.

"Let's call it Tregear then! To enhance our strength, we even made Ultraman capsules!"

"But, the thing about artificial Ultra Warriors..."

Future frowned, feeling inexplicably afraid.

Everything he has achieved is not only due to his hard work, but also, and perhaps more so, because of his identity as Ultraman.

Ultra Warriors are unique and meaningful beings to humanity.

If humans master the abilities of artificial Ultra Warriors... then what are these real Ultra Warriors to humans?
Yu Chen watched all of this silently, and in his mind's eye... he felt the light within him was eager to try.

Was it Noah's will?
Noah: Where is there anyone who built Noah?!

"They even managed to make a capsule from Nexus?" Yu Chen examined the capsule, wondering how much of his own skill it possessed.

Zheping took the capsule, inserted it into the groove, and explained:

"Ultraman Nexus, the first Ultraman to reappear on Earth after 25 years."

"He is a partner of humanity, that much is undeniable. He has averted many crises for us."

"Hmm... it seems that it can't fully reproduce Nexus's strength. However, I think it can be effectively used in actual combat depending on how it's used."

"His abilities are almost three times more varied than those of Ultraman Mebius and Ultraman Hikari. He can be considered the most powerful Ultra Warrior."

"It seems he can definitely defeat Zetton! Let him go!" Toriyama was so excited that he wanted to press the enter key right away.

Yu Chen stopped him and shook his head:

"Using this kind of thing will hurt the hearts of the Ultra Warriors."

Do you think Ultraman would want to fight alongside counterfeit goods made by humans?

“But…but.” Toriyama looked at the Nexus capsule, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Marina nodded, feeling indignant on behalf of Yu Chen and the future:

"That's right. Both Mebius and Nexus are irreplaceable partners of ours."

There are two Ultraman here, so what's the point of taking out these Ultraman capsules?

Yu Chen could understand the GUYS headquarters' thinking; who wouldn't want to master the power of Ultraman?

But... the fate of those who attempt to master the power of Ultraman and create artificial Ultramen is self-evident.

The two vivid examples, Dyna and Nexus, are right here.

And, the most important point.

He didn't want to be treated like a toy, manipulated by others.

Yu Chen believes that he doesn't want the future to be the same.

"Officer, please take these things back. I will report the rejection of the artificial Ultraman capsules to headquarters."

Shingo Sakami pulled the Nexus capsule out of the groove and returned it to Toriyama.

"Since Captain Sakamizu insists on this, then I have nothing more to say."

"Using Zetton is also a good idea; Zetton is a very strong monster too!"

Realizing he was in an awkward situation, Toriyama quickly tried to cover it up.

"Well then, let's end today's test here."

Yu Chen pulled out the Zetton capsule as well, and Zetton's figure disappeared into the battle space.

“Zetton is a must, but other aliens are also an option. I suggest…”

Before he could finish speaking, a gasp of surprise came from the side:

"Look...that's it!"

"Ultraman Nexus!?"

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw green particles appearing in a spiral shape, eventually transforming into the form of Nexus.

"Nexus?"

Yu Chen turned around; the Nexus capsule was still in Toriyama's hand.

The capsule itself was not damaged, nor was it entered into the battle space, so how did it appear?
There will never be a good outcome if it involves artificial Olympics!

"What's going on? Is this thing broken? The capsule is still in the assistant officer's hands!"

Aihara Ryu looked at the intact test computer, completely baffled.

Then, he pressed the power button directly.

The computer screen is off and the computer is shut down, but the artificial Nexus still exists.

"How come he's still here? Is this a bug?"

"Perhaps it's because I inserted the Nexus capsule into the groove just now, causing some of the particles inside to leak out? No... that reason is too far-fetched."

Teppei tried to make amends, but then...

A second green particle appeared in the battle space, taking the form of Mebius.

Then came the third, and the fourth, stream of green particles...

In the end, Nexus, Mebius, Hikari, and Tregear stood tall on the desolate land in the battle space!

The four of them stared blankly, as if they had no initiative at all.

Yu Chen snatched the headset and gave the order:
"Everyone, sit down and rest!"

He wanted to see if he could make these four artificial Olympians obey his commands.

Upon receiving the order, the four artificial Olympians immediately sat cross-legged on the ground.

Yu Chen breathed a sigh of relief... It must be something like a bug.

However, the next moment, the four people slowly turned their heads and stared straight at him!
The four artificial Ultras on the big screen, the artificial Ultras in the virtual battle space, are staring at themselves in the real world!
Yu Chen's scalp tingled... Was this some kind of ghost?!
"Why are they looking at Yuchen? Is there something on Yuchen's face?"

"No, these guys, they've developed their own consciousness!"

Amidst the exclamations of the team members, four artificial Ultras suddenly stood up, assumed their respective beam stances, and four beams of light shot into the sky.

boom!
The lights in the command room flickered on and off, and four gaps appeared in the sky above the battle space, with green garbled data flowing through them!
"What's going on, Chief of Staff?" Aihara Ryu questioned.

Toriyama was sweating profusely with nervousness, completely at a loss for words.

Just then, Misaki Yuki walked in, wearing high heels.

"There is no real combat space; it is essentially a piece of data that is just presented to us visually."

"The current situation is that the data of the four artificial Ultra Warriors are like a virus, running rampant in the system space and attacking our system."

As he spoke, Yu Chen immediately grabbed Wei Lai and ran out. In the ensuing chaos, their departure went unnoticed by Toriyama.

Zheping returned to his seat and began performing a system check.

After a moment, he said anxiously:

"They have breached the fourth line of defense, with an erosion rate of 63%. If they reach the mechanical system, GUYS's functions will be completely paralyzed."

Aihara Ryu raised an eyebrow:

"Is the opponent a program? Why not just unplug all the power?"

Misaki Yuki shook her head:
"We can't do that. Also, the equipment provided for safety purposes will cause a huge mess if it loses power."

"The only way to stop them is to defeat all four Ultra Warriors in the battle space."

Upon hearing this, everyone blinked, then pointed uncertainly at the monster capsules in the suitcase, and then at the artificial Ultras on the big screen:
"Use these monsters...to defeat them?"

"Nexus is inside!"

……

Meanwhile, in the outside corridor.

Looking at the equipment in front of him, he hesitated.

"To fight in the virtual space, you have to digitize yourself. If you lose, there's no going back."

"We won't lose, believe me."

Yu Chen gripped Wei Lai's arm tightly, and Wei Lai looked at him and nodded resolutely.

The two transformed into light particles, seeped into the device, entered the system space, and headed towards the battle space.

Yu Chen had no intention of taking any risks; logically speaking, shutting down the computer would solve all the problems. These Ultra Warriors were just a string of data.

But their appearance is too bizarre; is it really just a piece of data? What if turning off the computer doesn't solve the problem?
When faced with unknown territories and unpredictable outcomes, Yu Chen's approach has always been...

Eliminate it as soon as it first appears!

A moment later, the battle space—

Light particles poured in from the data gap in the sky, transforming into Nexus and Mebius.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the artificial Nexus looked at Yu Chen and chuckled:
"hello……"

"another me?"
