They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 456 Faust

Beneath the eerie dark red sky, the earth presents a cold, crystalline texture, as if the entire world has been stripped of color and warmth.

Within this subspace named "Meta Realm," Masaki Keigo, or rather, Ultraman Impet, examined his hands with a sense of novelty.

He could clearly sense that the rate at which his own energy was being consumed was significantly reduced within this space.

In this space, a large number of pure and highly concentrated light particles, like a gentle school of fish, surrounded him affectionately and even actively replenished the energy dissipating from his body.

A very interesting ability...

This is not simply spatial folding, but rather the construction of a "home field" that is entirely advantageous to the Giant of Light, based on its own energy.

His gaze fell upon the battlefield not far away.

In stark contrast to the arduous struggles outside, the battle in this area has become one-sided.

The alien beast, possessing terrifying regenerative abilities, was currently letting out a painful and furious roar.

The wounds on its body inflicted by Nexus's punches and kicks no longer healed instantly, but instead resembled burns from a branding iron, with charred marks appearing at the edges. Furthermore, wisps of light particles, like maggots clinging to bones, continuously eroded its flesh and blood, preventing cell regeneration.

Moreover, Nexus's speed and strength have also been visibly increased.

His every move left a trail of silver afterimages, and every attack contained the force of a thunderbolt.

With the support of the Meta Domain, the alien beast was forced to retreat in defeat. Its massive body rolled and crashed on the crystallized earth, but it could not escape the suppression of the silver giant.

Then, the battle came to an end.

Nexus crossed his arms in front of his chest, and golden energy surged from the armor on his wrists, converging into a cross.

Layered storm!

A stream of light, imbued with the power of purification and destruction, tore through the dark red sky and struck the alien beast with pinpoint accuracy.

That was not a simple energy shock. In Masaki Keigo's perception, this beam of light contained an extremely complex frequency of fluctuation. The moment it came into contact with the alien beast's body, it triggered a chain reaction of collapses at the cellular level.

The grotesque body of the alien beast twisted and dissolved in the light, eventually turning into countless specks of light and completely dissipating into this space.

The battle is over.

The Meta Realm began to become unstable, cracks appeared in the dark red sky, and the crystallized earth gradually became illusory.

Nexus's figure appeared and disappeared in the fluctuating space...

The next second, space shattered.

Nexus, along with the entire Meta Realm, vanished from the spot.

The feeling of weightlessness faded, and the surrounding scenery returned to the abandoned industrial area.

A cold night wind blew by, stirring up dust on the ground, as if the earth-shattering battle of giants that had just taken place was merely an illusion.

Masaki Keigo deactivated his transformation and reverted to his human form.

He did not seek out Nexus's human form—Jun Himeya.

Because that wasn't his purpose in coming here...

He strode towards the core area of ​​the battle. The air still held the lingering effects of light energy and the unique, foul stench of the alien beasts.

On the ground, most of the monster's remains had been reduced to ashes in Nexus's light, but Masaki Keigo still discovered a small piece of tissue that was rapidly dissipating, resembling rotten flesh.

The piece of flesh was only the size of a palm, constantly emitting bluish smoke. Its edges had already turned into particles of light, and it looked like it was about to be completely annihilated.

Always stay with me.

Masaki Keigo immediately took out his transformation device—the golden Spark Lens.

Instead of transforming, he used it as an energy conduit, carefully injecting a small amount of pure light energy into the dissipating tissue.

The golden light formed a tiny energy field, like a transparent amber, which enveloped and sealed the flesh, halting its disintegration.

After doing all this, he put this special "sample" into a specially made container and left the scene quickly without lingering for a moment.

In the darkness, the roar of a heavy motorcycle engine rose and quickly disappeared into the distance.

……

Inside the private research institute, all was quiet.

Only those screens reflected Masaki Keigo's focused and aloof profile.

The sample of the alien beast organization, sealed by the golden light field, was suspended in the center of an analytical instrument.

Although the research institute's equipment was limited and far inferior to the top-tier laboratories at TPC headquarters, it was sufficient for his current objectives. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle"...

His goal was very clear: to analyze Nexus and the Alien Beasts...

On the screen, an analytical model of the alien beast cells was established.

This is a cellular structure exhibiting incredible activity, full of aggression and phagocytosis.

Keigo Masaki simulated various physical attacks and energy shocks, and discovered that as long as one ten-thousandth of the cells survived, and as long as there was enough energy supply, it could re-divide, proliferate, and even evolve into a complete alien beast in a very short time.

"A truly perfect biological weapon, existing purely for the sake of 'existence'."

He murmured to himself, expressing his admiration.

Therefore, the only way to completely eliminate it is to eradicate it at the cellular level.

Nexus's power accomplished this.

He pulled up another set of data, which was information from the sample that belonged to the residual light particles of Nexus.

The light from Nexus, upon contact with the alien beast cells, does not "destroy" but rather "reverse" the special photon frequency contained within it.

Phase Reversal.

The dark energy attribute of the alien beast cells is being forcibly reversed, and the basic particles that make up its matter are being twisted from the "dark" phase to the "light" phase.

This explains why the alien beasts are "purified," turning into specks of light and dissipating, instead of exploding like the monsters in the Ultraman Tiga world.

This discovery instantly sent Masaki Keigo's thoughts drifting far away.

Thirty million years ago, the dark giants on Earth also transformed darkness into light in some way.

The excitement of this discovery sent shivers down his spine, making every cell in his body tremble. He immediately threw himself into his new work.

He used the Nexus light quantum information he had collected as a blueprint, and analyzed it using the Spark Lens and the power of Ultraman Impetus.

A few days later, a small badge gleaming with metallic luster was produced.

The design of the badge is inspired by the energy core on Nexus's chest, but it also incorporates the rugged lines characteristic of Ultraman Impetus in the details.

He picked it up, and an energy fluctuation from it, the same as that of Nexus, emanated from it.

Because of the limited materials used, this badge cannot grant him the full power of Nexus.

However, it can act as an amplifier and converter, allowing him to simulate the "phase-reversal" properties of the beam when transforming into Ultraman Impetus.

This is something he needs to deal with the enemy...

After doing all this, Masaki Keigo's life returned to its peaceful routine.

Like a hunter lying in wait, he patiently watched the signal point on the screen that represented Komon Ikki.

The wait didn't last long.

Late that night, the piercing alarm once again shattered the tranquility of the research institute.

On the screen, Komon's signal point was moving at an extremely high speed, breaking away from its usual coordinates located underground in Shinjuku, and was speeding towards a forest park on the western outskirts of the city.

The Night Raid Team has been dispatched once again.

Masaki Keigo's eyes sharpened instantly.

Without the slightest hesitation, he put on his jacket, helmet, and mounted his motorcycle, disappearing into the silent Tokyo night like a black lightning bolt.

As he followed the signal and approached the vast forest park on the outskirts, a chilling and sinister aura, completely different from what he had experienced before, washed over him.

That wasn't the rage and chaos of the alien beasts' malice, but a more concentrated and purer kind of darkness.

He parked the motorcycle some distance away, and with a few leaps, silently climbed up a tall tree and hid among the dense foliage.

His gaze pierced through the gaps in the trees, and he saw the battlefield.

The silver giant Nexus was kneeling on the ground, the energy core in his chest flashing rapidly red.

Opposite him stood a giant of similar stature, but entirely black, exuding an ominous aura.

That's not an alien beast.

It was a dark giant.

"Faust..."
