Land of Light: I am Supermodel Tiga, One-Punch King

"Damn it, could it be another illusion? What's going on with these monsters lately?"

Shinjo patted Daigo on the shoulder, "If it's not a clone, it's an illusion; if it's not an illusion, it's transparent."

"How would I know? Let's go back to headquarters and analyze it first."

Daigo was startled by Shinjo's sudden slap and replied irritably.

……

"What? No monsters?"

However, upon returning to the command room, the men who had gone into battle received an unbelievable message from Ye Rui.

That was the monster they had fought in one round, yet none of the GUTS's detection equipment showed any data whatsoever.

In other words, this monster does not exist.

"It doesn't exist? But we all saw it with our own eyes. Could it be another phantom monster?" Shinjo immediately questioned.

Lina connected her computer to the onboard computer of the EXJ and discovered that the plane's cameras had not recorded any images of the monster.

"Have there been any other unusual occurrences since last night?"

After thinking for a moment, Megumi looked at Mizuki.

“Records of cosmic ray exposure were found near the location where the public reported the incident.”

Ye Rui glanced at the computer and answered.

"Cosmic rays?"

"At point T in region J, in a small area around the former Ueno."

Norizumi explained the location of the cosmic ray irradiation in more detail.

Horii also said, "These are cosmic rays that have never been discovered before, and the Science Bureau is currently analyzing them."

Last night, it wasn't just the Victory team that didn't sleep well.

In the narrow area of ​​point T in region J that Norizumi mentioned, there was also an architect named Katsuma Ikuta who hadn't slept well either.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" his colleague and boss asked with concern.

"Yes, I feel dizzy and have no energy at all," Ikuta said weakly.

"I've caught a cold, I must have caught a cold."

"My chest feels tight too." Ikuta clutched his chest, feigning discomfort even though it wasn't tight before, after hearing the concern.

"Really? You definitely need to see a doctor."

"Okay, you can leave work early today."

The boss said with a smile, then the smile gradually disappeared as he watched Ikuta quickly pack his things and stand up.

"I'm sorry, but I can't accept your offer. I'll be going now."

Ikuta apologized and left the office in a flash.

The boss subconsciously took a few steps after him: "?"

I was just being polite, did you really take it seriously?

"Are you really going to leave like this?" the boss murmured, still sitting down at Ikuta's workstation (abbd).

However, upon seeing the blueprints drawn by Ikuta, the boss's pupils dilated in shock.

The blueprints are covered with the name "Tomoko". Has Ikuta broken up with his girlfriend?

After get off work, Ikuta found a psychologist and explained his situation.

That is, I had insomnia and dreamed that I became a monster and did a lot of violent things.

At the request of his psychologist, Ikuta vaguely drew the monster from his dream.

As expected of an architect, the drawings, though abstract, give a rough idea of ​​what the monster looks like.

It is extremely similar to the monster that the GUTS team fought last night.

However, Ikuta said a lot, but the psychologist didn't say anything. He just took out two CDs and asked for 100,000 yen.

In order to get a good night's sleep, Ikuta gritted his teeth and bought it anyway.

however--

"2354 sheep, 2355 sheep..."

Listening to the doctor counting sheep with no emotion coming from the CD, Ikuta couldn't take it anymore after hearing more than two thousand sheep.

"I've been scammed again, how awful!!!"

After switching to the opera CD he had been listening to, Ikuta finally fell into a deep sleep and drifted off to sleep.

I dreamt again that I had turned into a monster.

buzzing-

The Victory Flying Swallow EXJ, carrying a bunch of Victory Team members whose sweet dreams had been disturbed, sets off once again.

"Unlike yesterday, this monster is showing a trace amount of energy!"

Ye Rui reported, looking at the data on the computer screen.

"It's definitely different now. This time, the monster is semi-transparent and much more obvious."

"And it's started to destroy!"

Shinjo and Daigo's Beta separated.

"Initiate the attack! Be cautious in combat!" Zongfang immediately issued the battle order, then added a sentence.

"Understood!"*2

The Alpha rose to a higher altitude and dove to fire, while the Beta lowered its altitude and fired at an angle of elevation.

A series of laser beams shot out.

However, the attack passed through the monster's body again, landing on the ground and exploding into bursts of flames.

"Still no use!" Zongfang slapped his leg in frustration, causing Horii to gasp in pain.

"Ow—"

The monster roared and stared at the rising Beta, opening its mouth to unleash a beam of orange destructive light.

Boom!

Shin-chan reacted quickly and immediately pressed the button for the electromagnetic barrier.

A blue circular barrier rose up, deflecting the orange destructive beam into the air.

Dagu: "..."

The plane didn't crash, the new city wasn't dizzy anymore, and it seemed like he couldn't find a chance to transform anymore.

"Perfect!" Shinjo grinned smugly. "Daigo, now we'll never crash again! Let's beat it up!"

"Unfortunately, the attack was unsuccessful!"

Seeing that the mental electromagnetic beam, which had previously been able to attack the Kirieloids, still passed through the monster, Daigo shook his head helplessly.

The translucent monster turned its head to look at the Alpha and spat out another destructive beam of light.

However, Lina walked right through the electromagnetic barrier and passed right through the monster's body.

The two sides fought for several minutes, but the GUTS team couldn't hit the monster, and the monster couldn't break through the GUTS team's defense.

The two are like they're not on the same level.

Only the surrounding buildings were damaged.

If this continues, Aihara Ryu will turn into a monster.

Meanwhile, the people in the distance were awakened by the monster's roar and the explosions, and sat up in a daze.

In the end, the GUTS team could only watch as the monster, just like the night before, twisted and vanished.

Chapter 142 Detective Munakata's mind suddenly lit up as he discovered the truth!

"Hey, why are you looking so dejected?"

Waking up refreshed from a pleasant dream, Reg walked into the Victory Team's command room.

I noticed that everyone had dark circles under their eyes and were slumped in their chairs, looking listless.

“Reg, look how energetic you are!”

Horii used all his strength to hold the document in his hand high, which contained analysis data on the monster.

However, in the section for monster pictures, the first one is an abstract painting by Horii, which is much worse than the one by architect Ikuta.

"It was completely transparent the day before yesterday, and it was semi-transparent last night. Perhaps tonight, the monster will be fully materialized and we will be able to attack it."

Zongfang stroked his chin and guessed.

"I'm afraid that once it becomes fully materialized, the monster's destructive power will increase significantly, but it will still be impossible to hit it."
