Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 651 Hong Kai Arrives
The battlefield in the center is gradually calming down.

Lin Yu held the D4 device in his palm. The violent energy, capable of shattering dimensions, was as docile as a kitten in his hand. With a thought, he stored this dangerous device in his subspace.

"Done." Lin Yu clapped his hands, looking relaxed.

As Jugglus watched this scene, he nodded thoughtfully, a look of sudden realization on his face.

"So that's how it is. Master traveled from the past to this point in the future specifically to track down this dangerous device?"

His gaze toward Lin Yu was filled with admiration and emotion. "You've really worked hard, always working tirelessly for the peace of the universe in places we can't see."

Lin Yu: "?"

He turned to look at Jugglus Juggler, his face full of questions.

No, you've gone too far! Are you actually cursing me to work overtime voluntarily?
But seeing Jugglus's expression that said, "I understand, you don't need to say more, everything is understood without words," Lin Yu swallowed back the words he was about to say and instead hardened his fist slightly.

Seeing Lin Yu remain silent, Jugglus became even more certain of his guess, and his respect for his master rose to a new level.

Master, you always bear everything alone.

Amidst this touching atmosphere of teacher-student affection (just kidding!), at the same time, in the underground command center of the Earth Defense Force's Japanese branch.

On the huge main screen, the scene was frozen on Jugglus Juggler revealing his demon form, and Lin Yu dismantling the mechanical Zero's breastplate with his bare hands and taking away the D4 device.

The atmosphere in the entire command center was so heavy it was almost palpable.

A middle-aged woman with red-rimmed glasses and a stern face slammed her hand on the table and stood up. She was Commander Kuriyama's subordinate and the Operations Chief of the Earth Defense Force's Japanese branch: Mai Yuuki.

"It's just nonsense!"

Her voice was cold and sharp, "Hebikura Shota, the former captain of the Armory, is actually an unknown alien hiding among humans! And that young man of unknown origin even stole our ultimate weapon to defeat the monster right in front of us!"

She glanced around, her gaze sweeping across the faces of each of her subordinates like a knife.

"The Armory, STORAGE, this department that has been disbanded, has problems from top to bottom. Hebikura is an alien, so what about his team members? Is Ota Yuka, who is the scientific advisor, his accomplice? Was the pilot Nakajima Yoko also turned? Natsukawa Haruki is even mixed up with them."

Her voice grew increasingly agitated, almost roaring.

"This is a betrayal of humanity and a blatant provocation against the Earth Defense Force!"

An adjutant cautiously reminded him, "Sir, Commander Kuriyama has just been taken to the hospital. According to the initial diagnosis, he suffered a severe mental shock and is suspected of being attacked by aliens..."

"Of course I know."

Mai Yuuki interrupted him, her eyes growing colder. "This further confirms my suspicions. Shota Hebikura, this alien disguised as a hero, not only stole D4 but also attacked Commander Kuriyama! He wants to completely paralyze our command system."

She took a deep breath and issued the order.

"Immediately classify this as a top-level security incident. Notify the security department to immediately proceed to the former armory research lab and detain Ota Yuka. She is a prime suspect and must undergo the most rigorous investigation!"

"Yes."

"in addition,"

She paused, then added, "During the operation, all necessary means are permitted."

With the order given, the atmosphere in the entire command center became even more tense.

……

Former Armory Research Office.

This place has been transformed into Yuka Ota's personal laboratory. Various complex instruments and screens occupy most of the space, displaying dense streams of data.

Yuka was sitting at the control panel, intently analyzing the combat data that had just been transmitted back. "Strange... After Mech Zero fired the D4 ray, the life support system inside the cockpit experienced a power outage for 0.7 seconds. Although the time was short, such an energy shock would definitely cause irreversible damage to the pilot's body."

She adjusted her glasses, her brows furrowed.

"Yoko-senpai's health... needs a full check-up as soon as possible. This kind of weapon puts too much strain on the pilot; it's practically a suicide attack."

She muttered to herself as she rapidly typed on the keyboard, trying to build a more accurate damage assessment model.

Just then, the alloy door of the laboratory was violently smashed open from the outside by a force.

"boom--!"

The loud noise, accompanied by a piercing alarm, startled Yuka.

She turned around in confusion, only to see a team of fully armed security personnel rush in, their dark gun barrels all pointed at her.

"What happened?" Jiehua pushed up her glasses, looking completely bewildered.

The armed captain, expressionless, stepped forward and presented an electronic arrest warrant.

"Ota Yuka, you are suspected of colluding with unidentified aliens to steal top military secrets and endanger national security. Now, please come with us."

Yuka was stunned.

Aliens? Stealing secrets?

"Are you referring to Captain Hebikura?"

She stood up, trying to argue, "The captain isn't a bad guy, and that D4 device, that thing is too dangerous, it should never have been created!"

"We are only responsible for carrying out orders."

The armed captain's voice was devoid of emotion. "Commander Kuriyama was attacked after the battle and rushed to the hospital. Meanwhile, Shota Hebikura's alien identity has been exposed. As his closest subordinate, you are now the prime suspect."

“Commander Kuriyama…” Yuka took off her glasses and pinched the bridge of her nose.

She wasn't stupid; she immediately understood the logic behind it.

Someone is using the captain's exposed identity to eliminate the entire former Armory members and pin the blame for the D4 theft on them.

"really……"

She sighed dejectedly, "Someone is trying to frame us."

She knew that any explanation would be futile; in the face of absolute power and force, the truth was often the least important thing.

Is there anyone who can save me?

Just as the atmosphere in the laboratory reached a stalemate, and the armed men were about to step forward and forcibly take away Jiehua.

A discordant sound suddenly rang out from the corner.

"Suck it-"

The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

In a corner of the laboratory, in a rest area that had previously gone unnoticed, a man was enjoying a steaming bowl of instant noodles.

He wore a worn-out dark leather jacket, had a handsome face and a calm demeanor, but his brows also carried a hint of the carefree and unruly nature of a wanderer.

It's that man!
