Chapter 259 At worst, I'll just run away.

TTPC Victory Team.

The Victory Team has returned after successfully completing their mission.

They conducted a series of studies on the location where the four giant swords fell from the sky.

The collected samples were brought back to the base and are currently being analyzed in the laboratory. It's clear that this is definitely not some mysterious resurgence or spiritual energy revival as widely circulated online. They detected abnormal energy fluctuations, and the four giant swords are likely some kind of device used to imprison something.

The victorious team could see this clearly; they're not stupid. They have foresight.

After the Victory Team returned, they each went about their own business and conducted their own research. Although they were on the same team, they each had their own strengths and were relatively uninvolved in each other's fields, so they mostly worked independently.

Lina then started special training with Horii and Shinjo at the training ground. With Camilla's help, she communicated with both of her Ultraman teammates.

Under the guidance of the eldest sister, the two Ultramen were willing to use a tiny bit of their energy to help Shinjo and Horii improve their physical attributes when they absorbed some of the energy to recover, so that Shinjo and Horii could truly be called Ultraman human hosts.

When encountering enemies, they can demonstrate superhuman physical abilities to fight back.

Under Lina's guidance, the two began to stimulate the power within their bodies to improve their health.

Although Camilla didn't teach this herself, it was indeed passed down to Lina through Camilla's memories. Lina naturally learned it, and it's a rare and valuable skill.

It's perfect for beginners like them, effectively improving their health. It can also help prolong life and eliminate hidden ailments.

“That’s right, it’s that feeling, like it’s innate, something you can do with just a thought.” Lina instructed the two, telling them the trick to activating this skill.

Horii touched his supposedly clever head, looking rather dim-witted, and muttered, "This is unscientific, this is just too unscientific."

Shinjo was accepting of it, even rolling his eyes at Horii with disdain, saying, "This is scientific. Don't use your existing worldview to challenge this mysterious power, or it will shatter your brain. Just follow along and learn it properly, and then we'll be able to become stronger. And according to what Lina said, I've already begun to feel some sensations. This feeling is so wonderful, like my body has been injected with adrenaline, my whole body is full of power, as if I have inexhaustible strength."

Lina chuckled, "Yes, that's the feeling. If you follow this feeling and deepen it further, you'll gain more power and improve your body faster and stronger. Let's see who's better in this aspect."

Shinjo crossed his arms proudly and said, "Is there any need to say more? It's definitely me. Look at Horii, he's completely clueless. He hasn't grasped anything or understood anything at all."

Horii retorted unhappily, "Nonsense, I was just trying it out. Now I'm getting serious."

After they finished speaking, the two began to secretly compete with each other.

Lina watched this scene with amusement.

Familiar people and familiar things, yet new growth has occurred.

Unfortunately, Daigo remained the same. Rena thought to herself, "If only I could help Daigo strengthen himself too."

With Daigo's abilities, he should do a great job. Although he usually seems a bit silly, Daigo is really capable when it comes to trouble, and he does a really good job.

It's a pity they didn't choose Daigo. I don't know why, it's such a shame. If they had chosen Daigo, she could have fought alongside him. Just thinking about it is wonderful. What a pity, what a real shame.

As Lina was thinking this, Masaki Keigo had already arrived at TPC's laboratory and found their location.

When Masaki Keigo walked in and saw Rena, Shinjo, and Horii, a fleeting question crossed his mind, but he quickly dismissed it. His primary purpose for this trip was to find Rena.

It's time to have a serious talk with Rena about that ultimate darkness. Rena, as an Ultraman, has the right to know this, but no one has told her. Masaki Keigo, however, bears this responsibility. After all, he, Masaki Keigo, is the one who will lead humanity towards a new and bright future; he is humanity's pioneer and guide.

He didn't know before, but now that he does, he has an obligation to convey this information to every Ultraman and see how they react.

If the reaction is bad, he wonders if he should resort to drastic measures to prevent humanity from falling into internal strife first, which would not be a good thing.

"Masaki Keigo? What brings you here?" Lina asked curiously upon seeing Masaki Keigo arrive.

Lina sensed that the newly recruited doctor from TPC seemed to have an endless stream of things to do, and also appeared quite mysterious.

“There are indeed some things I need to discuss. I came here specifically to talk to you.” Masaki Keigo nodded.

If there weren't two other people around, he probably would have started talking right now.

This story of ultimate darkness must be conveyed to every Ultra Warrior without delay.

This way, everyone will be prepared, instead of being completely clueless. Otherwise, they could be caught off guard.

"Looking for me?" Lina was taken aback, unsure why Masaki Keigo wanted to see her, since she and Masaki Keigo didn't have much contact.

But since they've already come all this way, we can't just not respond.

I guess it's something in her field that needs her.

Otherwise, Lina would never have guessed why Masaki Keigo wanted to see her.

"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go over there," Masaki Keigo said, pointing to the side.

Lina nodded.

Let's go over there then.

Anyway, there's no rush to leave. Shinjo and Horii can just stay here and properly comprehend and strengthen their bodies. She has already told them all the secrets and tips. What happens next depends entirely on their talent and hard work.

They need to complete the initial physical strengthening before moving on to the next stage of learning. If they haven't even completed this step, then there's absolutely no need to proceed to the next step.

.........

"You're that female giant, right?"

When they went aside to talk, Masaki Kei said something surprising that shocked Lina.

She hadn't expected that the other party would see through her identity so easily. No one outside the team knew who she was, and if she hadn't revealed it to Shinjo and Horii, those two idiots obviously wouldn't have known her identity either.

But now, Masaki Keigo has said it so casually.

It's really hilarious.

Lina could only give an awkward smile: "Dr. Masaki, I don't quite understand what you're talking about. Is it about the project concerning the mysterious female giant? Do you want me to study it?"

Seeing Lina's reaction, Masaki Keigo became even more certain of his guess.

It was initially just speculation, without direct evidence, but the probability was as high as 70-80%.

Lina's reaction now gave him 10% certainty.

“No need to pretend anymore. I have thoroughly investigated your identity. Everything I said to you before was just a test. The reason I have found you now is because I have something very important to tell you. I think you need to prepare for it in advance, so that when that thing happens, you won’t be unprepared. That would be bad…” Masaki Keigo said seriously.

This matter was of utmost importance to Masaki Keigo; it was a very serious matter.

Its priority is quite high, roughly on par with creating an artificial mini-sun. After all, when darkness falls, all Ultraman will likely be affected, making an artificial mini-sun urgently needed to supply them with energy. This would ensure sustained and effective combat over extended periods.

"Uh." Lina was speechless for a moment. She suddenly remembered that the other party had two mixed powers and was considered a very dangerous being by Camilla, possibly a giant of light.

She hadn't thought much of it at first, but now that she thought about it carefully, did the other party have something to tell her about the Giant of Light?

That's quite possible.

So, what could it be?

Lina looked at Masaki Keigo with a curious gaze.

Upon seeing this, Masaki Keigo said directly, "Darkness is coming. It is a darkness that will plunge the world into panic. The crystallization of human civilization is powerless against that darkness. Everyone is wailing, and the pervasive fear fills the entire sky."

"The earth cracked open, cities burned, and the sky was filled with monsters..."

Masaki Keigo described what he saw to Rena.

To get Lina on her feet and put her on guard, they even exaggerated the situation.

Upon hearing this, Lina's brows furrowed involuntarily.

This sounds like an absolutely extraordinary matter, no less significant than the previous Sphere Matrix incident. In fact, the Sphere Matrix incident did not cause nearly as much harm to Earth; it was merely a global live broadcast and was later quelled by several Ultraman teams working together.

The Earth then returned to its former tranquility once again.

But what Masaki Keigo said...

Lina couldn't help but ask curiously, "Can you tell me where you heard this news?"

“In the dream, no, rather than a dream, it’s more like fragments of memory passed down from our ancestors into our blood. When darkness finally comes, this memory will be rekindled, and those who are qualified can see it,” said Masaki Keigo.

Upon hearing this, Lina began communicating with Camilla inside her body.

To confirm with Camilla whether what Masaki Keigo said was true.

“What he said does sound like the truth. It’s like he saw it in a dream, or maybe it’s a fragment of inherited memory. This kid’s genes have destined him to have this qualification.” Camilla paused and said, “However, I don’t know what he meant by the ultimate darkness. But thinking back, I do think I did feel an unparalleled darkness sweeping across the globe back then, but I don’t know what happened after that.”

This happened after Camilla was sealed away. While sealed, she could vaguely sense the outside world, but she couldn't perceive what happened afterward. Everything was blocked by the barrier.

Later, in order to conserve her remaining energy, she deliberately fell into a state of deep sleep to prevent her power from dissipating even faster.

"I see." Lina nodded thoughtfully.

So what Masaki Keigo said is true.

She looked at Masaki Keigo and asked, "Is there any solution? You probably didn't come to me just to talk about this, did you?"

“I already have a plan, but the chances of it coming to fruition are slim. The reason I’m telling you this now is simply so you can prepare in advance, and when darkness falls, we can join forces,” Masaki Keigo said.

Lina thought about it for a moment and felt that while Masaki Keigo's words could be believed, they couldn't be completely trusted, since Camilla had said that there was still a dark power within Masaki Keigo.

She said, "Okay, then come find me when you need me."

As for whether or not to help, that depends on whether Masaki Keigo's actions are right or wrong. If Rina feels that what Masaki Keigo is doing is wrong, then Rina might even intervene to stop him.

She wouldn't stand idly by and watch the other side carry out their evil plan, putting the Earth in danger.

Masaki Keigo nodded. Reina seemed easier to talk to than Daigo and Izumi Wuma.

Masaki Keigo bid farewell; he was about to embark on other tasks. If the plan succeeded, it could bring about a massive transformation for Earth. Masaki Keigo was ready to be a pioneer for humanity.

.........

After Masaki Keigo left, Lina, with a belly full of worries, chatted with Camilla.

"If this situation really happens to you, what should we do? How should we face it and how should we solve it?" Masaki Keigo said that there was a plan to deal with it.

However, Lina felt that he couldn't just sit idly by without taking any action or being prepared. Moreover, since the other party had come specifically to inform her of this matter, it must be because they hoped she could come up with some countermeasures, rather than simply being mentally prepared.

"How should I know? At worst, I'll just run away." Camilla's thinking was simple: if she really couldn't win, she would just run into the barrier and emerge a thousand years later as a hero again.

Oh, and we should bring Daigo along too, since Daigo is Ultraman Tiga.

And then there's Lina; now they're of one mind, so they'll definitely run together.

But there seems to be something wrong between Lina and Daigo.

"I think I'll leave Lina behind," Camilla thought.
