Chapter 455 Nexus and the Alien Beasts
In the private research institute under the cover of night, only the faint blue light projected by the holographic screen flows silently.

Because he knew the plot in advance, he had contacted Kazuki Komon a few months ago and secretly gave him the micro-tracking device.

Just over a month ago, the access permissions and encryption level of this otherwise unremarkable file were suddenly raised to a terrifying level—it was classified as a top national secret, even exceeding the level of regular military secrecy agreements.

With the location information fed back by the positioning device, he could be fairly certain that Kazuki Komon had been absorbed by the organization hidden behind the scenes of the world.

This team is a defense force called the Night Raid Team, which exists to fight against the "Alien Beasts".

Masaki Keigo turned off the other screens, leaving only the real-time tracking map.

He was not impatient. As a scientist, waiting and observation are the most important parts of the experiment.

He has already laid the net; now, all he needs to do is wait for the fish to run into it.

The next afternoon, the sky over Tokyo was shrouded in a layer of gray clouds, and the air felt somewhat stuffy.

Inside the research institute, a piercing alarm broke the silence.

On the screen, the dot representing Kazuki Komon was moving at an extremely high speed away from its base coordinates located underground in Shinjuku, heading towards the industrial area on the western outskirts of the city.

coming.

A sharp glint flashed in Masaki Keigo's eyes, the excitement of a hunter discovering the tracks of his prey.

He quickly put on his jacket, grabbed his helmet, and without the slightest hesitation, mounted the heavy motorcycle parked in the apartment building's basement.

The engine let out a deep roar, like a black panther poised to pounce, and instantly merged into the traffic.

The closer you get to the factory area in the western suburbs, the stronger the ominous atmosphere becomes.

On his wrist, the electromagnetic interference warning signal on the PDI terminal screen, which he had personally modified, had turned into a glaring red.

Intense electromagnetic waves swept through the area like a storm, enough to malfunction most sophisticated electronic devices.

Fortunately, in order to deal with Gazort, he had applied the highest level of electromagnetic pulse protection to all equipment.

This level of interference would not affect his instruments.

The motorcycle stopped at the end of an abandoned highway; beyond that lay a completely deserted area.

As soon as he got out of the car, a violent tremor came from the ground beneath his feet, as if some enormous creature was awakening deep underground.

boom--!
In the nearby factory area, the roof of a huge cement warehouse was torn apart, with rubble and steel bars flying everywhere.

A hideous monster emerged from it, with an insect-like exoskeleton, its body covered in nauseating slime, and its mouth opening and closing with a piercing hiss.

Alien beast.

Almost at the same moment the monster appeared, a dazzling beam of light descended from the sky, landing precisely in front of the monster.

As the light faded, a silver giant stood on the earth.

Ultraman Nexus.

The battle broke out instantly.

Masaki Keigo did not rush to get closer, but instead, with a few nimble leaps, climbed onto a towering, abandoned gantry crane.

This is the best vantage point.

He took out a silver metal ball from his backpack, tossed it gently, and the metal ball hovered in mid-air, locking onto the battlefield from different angles.

On the PDI terminal, the battle data between Nexus and the Alien Beast began to refresh rapidly.

The attacks of the alien beast were ferocious and direct. It seemed to have no concept of pain at all, and it did not even dodge or avoid some of Nexus's attacks, exchanging blows for blows.

What's even more troublesome is its terrifying regenerative ability. The wounds inflicted on it by Nexus's fists and feet, which are imbued with the energy of light, wriggle and heal within seconds, as if it had never been injured at all.

"Truly... astonishing vitality."

Looking at the data analyzed on the screen, Masaki Keigo couldn't help but sigh. Judging solely from its strength and energy level, this alien beast wasn't particularly strong.

However, this near-immortal regenerative ability raises the difficulty of the battle by several levels.

Because... Ultraman's activity time on Earth is limited.

This is a race against time. If a way to deliver an irreversible, fatal blow cannot be found before its energy is exhausted, then the Giant of Light will be the one to lose.

In a sense, this kind of enemy is far more troublesome than those powerful opponents.

Just as Masaki Keigo was rapidly considering countermeasures, Nexus on the battlefield seemed to have realized this as well.

He stopped his pointless physical attacks and instead raised his right arm sharply, the "Armed Nexus" on his wrist gleaming brightly.

Om-!
An invisible energy wave emanated from him and rapidly spread outwards.

Space itself visibly distorted before Masaki Keigo's eyes. Nexus and the alien beast, along with the ground beneath their feet, were enveloped in a layer of colorful light, and then... vanished into thin air.

The surroundings returned to deathly silence, leaving only the destroyed factory buildings and a mess.

"Oh? You created an independent phase space using your own energy?"

The curiosity and curiosity in Masaki Keigo's eyes were almost overflowing.

He leaped off the gantry crane, landed steadily on the ground, and quickly walked to the spot where Nexus had just disappeared.

The lingering aftertaste of that peculiar energy still lingered in the air.

This was the first time he had ever seen such an ability, so naturally he didn't know the principle behind it.

But for Ultraman, a quantum life form, this application of light energy is as natural as breathing.

Thinking this, Masaki Keigo took out his Spark Lens.

The golden light flashed and disappeared in an instant, without any earth-shattering sound. After the light dissipated, a giant, the size of a human, with a metallic texture and more rugged lines, appeared in the spot.

Ultraman Impetus.

He walked to the area where the residual energy was most concentrated, stretched out his hand, and faced the void.

Close your eyes, immerse all your senses in your palms, and “listen” to the residual energy frequencies in that space.

In his perception, the space before him was no longer empty, but rather a "net" composed of countless tiny light quanta, still trembling slightly.

found it.

Masaki Keigo's consciousness locked onto an extremely special frequency.

He began to mobilize the light energy within his body, not by releasing it, but by transforming it within his body, adjusting his energy fluctuations to a frequency completely synchronized with that "net".

This is an extremely delicate operation, like finding the one and only correct string among billions of strings and plucking it at the exact same frequency.

The next moment, a golden light appeared in his outstretched palm.

Then, the space in front of them seemed to transform into a surface of water to which pebbles had been thrown, rippling out in circles of golden waves.

That void became like liquid mercury, exhibiting a strange, flowing texture.

Golden waves spread out, and the water ripples in the space gently engulfed Ultraman Impet's body.

A brief feeling of weightlessness came over me.

When Masaki Keigo opened his eyes again, the scene before him had completely changed.

The sky was an eerie dark red, the earth had a crystalline texture, and in the distance, Nexus's battle with the alien beasts continued...
