Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"No, no, no need to apologize. I also have some issues with this."

Asakura Riku followed Genji Subaru back into the elevator, muttering to himself. Genji Subaru didn't dwell on the matter for long; he rested his head on Asakura Riku's shoulder and whispered something to him:

"Close your eyes, relax your mind, and I will guide you to feel the power hidden within you."

Asakura Riku obediently followed Minamoto Subaru's instructions. Then, he felt his body begin to burn, as if something was struggling violently. His body seemed to be a prison binding the evil dragon, and it was being torn apart little by little.

But Riku Asakura did not feel pain. He felt that this was the natural thing to do. The dragon was regaining the comfort of freedom, which almost made him lose himself in this mental shock.

Just then, Gen Subaru's voice suddenly rang in his ear:

"Come, shout out your name, and become an Ultra Warrior!"

my name?

My...name?!

Asakura Riku subconsciously opened his mouth, but inexplicably got stuck. The name 'Asakura Riku' didn't seem to fit the situation. He frowned, like someone who was about to kick the ball but couldn't, feeling extremely uncomfortable, which made his consciousness blur.

This situation made Gen Subaru realize that something was wrong. He immediately increased the intensity of his psychic power, paying attention to every change in Asakura Riku. If the situation was not right, he would forcibly take over his body.

But at that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Asakura Riku. He abruptly opened his eyes, a crimson light flickering within them, the veins on his neck bulging. He first let out a beast-like roar, then shouted:

"G-eed!"

As Riku Asakura shouted, black and red lightning energy erupted, piercing the heavens and the earth, and then an Ultra Warrior with black and red stripes appeared on Earth.

This Ultraman's head is shaped like an inverted triangle, with an S-shaped curve on both sides of the protruding middle. The cheekbones are sharply defined, and his eyes resemble two opposing shark dorsal fins. His arms have similar fin-like blades, reminiscent of Belial's claws. His back also has a dorsal fin similar to Belial's, making his already somewhat ferocious appearance even more terrifying.

Regardless, Ultraman Geed completed his first transformation, leaping out from a black and red lightning vortex.

"Alright, now it's your turn to fight."

Gen Subaru released his monitoring of Asakura Riku's condition and teleported to Peja's side, startling the Pegasa alien who shuddered. He still remembered the murderous aura from just moments before.

"Don't worry, you're safe now."

Yuan Mao saw the unease in Pei Jia's heart and smiled as he said softly:

"I didn't know your identity before and thought you were an alien who wanted to take advantage of people, so I wanted to fight you. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I will not be hostile to you until you make a move against Earthlings."

"No, no, no, I would never do that. How could I possibly hurt humans?"

Peijia quickly waved her hand in refusal, and then, Minamoto Subaru seemed to remember something and looked at Peijia, asking:

"In this universe, did your home planet, Pegasus, explode?"

"what!?"

Pei Jia was taken aback. He never expected the conversation to start with such a sensational topic. He stammered, "..."

"Probably not, my home planet was perfectly fine when I left..."

"Oh, that's good."

"........Big Boss".

Seeing that Subaru seemed to have run out of things to say, Peijia couldn't help but whisper:

"You're not thinking about blowing up my home planet, are you...?"

"What kind of person do you take me for? Alright, focus on Ultraman Geed's first battle."

Gen Subaru had no interest in talking to Peja, the young Pegasa alien, so he ended the conversation and looked at Ultraman Geed. At this moment, Riku Asakura was still looking at his own appearance and getting used to his current perspective. It has to be said that after becoming an Ultraman, such a high perspective would probably scare people with acrophobia to the point of weakness.

But I don't have a fear of heights, monster, here I come!

Asakura Riku clenched his fists and waved them as if to encourage himself, then stomped his feet on the ground and flew out, pouncing towards the monster.

It has to be said that the momentum was quite strong, like a vicious eagle pouncing on a sheep. But unfortunately, the monster was not a sheep, and Asakura Riku was not an eagle. So in the next instant, Asakura Riku was whipped down from the sky by the monster's tail and crashed heavily onto a mountain, which was completely destroyed.

"Xiao Lu!!!"

Seeing this, Pegasus, who was being led back to the observatory headquarters by Gen Subaru, couldn't help but shout. Then, she nervously turned to look at Gen Subaru, who was staring blankly at the red ball. Clearly, this Pegasus alien hoped that Gen Subaru could go and help her.

"It's okay, it just looks a bit intimidating."

As Subaru continued investigating the information on this Earth, he casually remarked:

"After becoming an Ultra Warrior, things like defense can no longer be measured by human standards. In his current form, crashing into half a mountain wouldn't be a big problem for him."

"But, right now, Riku isn't very good at fighting."

Peja said anxiously:

“I know Xiao Lu. He’s never even been in a fight before. It’s too much to ask him to fight a monster like this right off the bat.”

"Combat skills are something that are developed through practice."

Without looking to the side, Gen Subaru continued searching the red ball, and said softly:

"Today's experience will surely be useful next time. After a few more fights, we might even be able to find his own fighting style. That's how I got to where I am today. Just watch with peace of mind. If necessary, I will step in."

"....All right."

Since Minamoto no Subaru had said that, Peja couldn't say anything more and could only watch Asakura Riku's battle with trepidation.

As Peja had feared, the battle unfolded exactly as expected. Lacking sufficient combat experience, Asakura Riku was quickly reduced to a position of constant vulnerability under the monster's attacks. After being knocked to the ground once again by a shoulder charge from the monster, Asakura Riku let out a weary sigh.

The real battle was far more difficult than he had imagined, and it was definitely not like the tokusatsu shows depicting Flashman, where if you just blindly charge in, you wouldn't even know how the enemy turned the tables and beat you down, and...

I feel so awful.....

Asakura Riku clutched his chest, his brows furrowed. If there were a mirror in front of him, he would see that his eyes were bloodshot, with the blood vessels around them bulging and displaying an unnatural deep red color.

At this moment, Asakura Riku felt as if a fire was burning in his heart, making him extremely irritable and wishing he could destroy everything around him.

But Asakura Riku also knew very well that this was not his true thought. That evil thought was bewitching him toward an unknowable future, so he could not succumb to this inexplicable evil fire no matter what.

But...

Trying to control my own thoughts while continuing to fight the monster is really putting me in a difficult position... What's wrong with me...?

Riku Asakura gritted his teeth and stood up, disregarding all sense of propriety, and pounced directly on the monster. Using both hands and feet, he pinned himself to the monster's body, looking for an opportunity. The monster immediately rolled over, and its terrifying weight crushed Riku Asakura's body, causing him to let out a painful howl and release his grip.

The monster then smoothly rose to its feet, sweeping its tail to fling Asakura Riku from the ground into the air. At the same time, the monster lowered its head and charged towards Asakura Riku's intended landing point. Subaru recognized this move; it was similar to Gomora's Hyper Vibration Wave, where the monster used its horns to pierce the opponent's body and then attack like a beam of light. If Asakura Riku were hit in his current state, he would likely lose his fighting ability on the spot.

That's good enough. It's quite an achievement to play like this in the first battle.

Gen Subaru put down the red ball, looked at the projection, and then closed his eyes.

'Gedde, it's time to use your beam attack.'

At the same time, as Riku Asakura was freefalling through the air, his mind a blur due to pain, he suddenly heard Subaru's voice. In that instant, all his mental discomfort vanished, and even the ever-burning evil fire became incredibly quiet and obedient.

'A beam attack? How do I use that?'

Asakura Riku muttered to himself in confusion, then Minamoto Subaru's voice rang out again:

'You should know this.'

I...should know?

Asakura Riku was slightly taken aback. Then, countless images flashed through his mind, finally settling on the scene of the energy lightning bursting forth.

Indeed, I already know, so I'm going to go!

363. Turbid Crystalline Order

After receiving guidance from Subaru, Riku Asakura suddenly awoke. He looked at the monster whose feet were glowing with red energy and was charging towards him. He took a deep breath, gathered photon energy throughout his body, and released red and black lightning energy. At the same time, this energy also generated a strong force field, causing a lightning storm to condense around Ultraman Geed.

Then, Ultraman Geed formed a cross with his hands, transforming the photon energy within his body into a blue-white beam of light wrapped in red and black lightning. He unleashed this beam from his right hand, accurately striking the monster that was charging with its head down. The powerful energy impact instantly stopped the monster's charge and brought it to a standstill.

"Boom!"

At this moment, Ultraman Geed fell to the ground from the air. Riku Asakura quickly got up, crouched down, and cautiously waited for what would happen next.

Suddenly, the monster's arm twitched, and it nervously raised its hand to prepare for the upcoming impact. However, countless cracks appeared on the monster's body, followed by a violent explosion that destroyed the monster that had been rampaging from day to night.

After seeing the monster defeated, Riku Asakura breathed a long sigh of relief. Ultraman Geed's figure turned into blue light particles and disappeared from the battlefield. At the same time, a cylindrical building suddenly rose from the ground, and Pega ran out of it, quickly carrying the exhausted Riku Asakura back to the observatory headquarters.

"Um, Xiao Lu, he..."

"I'm just tired."

Minamoto Subaru carefully observed Asakura Riku's physical condition and said softly:

"After all, it is the main body that transforms into an Ultra Warrior. The damage and stamina consumption will be reflected on the body. It seems that his defense after transformation is still excellent. He was hit so hard, but he didn't even have any bruises on his body."

As he spoke, Minamoto no Subaru placed Asakura Riku on a nearby bench to rest. Then, looking at the projection of the battlefield where the battle had just ended, he turned to Peja and said softly:

"You stay here and take good care of Geed. I'll go over there and see if I can find anything. Maybe Geed won't need to fight so much anymore."

After saying that, Gen Subaru transformed into a streak of light and left, leaving Peja, who was full of questions, to lower his head helplessly. After all, he really wanted to take advantage of Asakura Riku's sleep to ask him why Geed's transformed appearance was so similar to the Dark Giant in the Impack Crisis.

To be honest, at this moment, Pei Jia already had quite a few premonitions in her heart...

On the other side, just as the battle between Geed and the monster ended, a man in black appeared nearby. He was clearly Fukuide Sei. He had changed out of his casual formal attire and into a leather jacket for nighttime activities. He frowned as he looked at the spot where Ultraman Geed had disappeared, seemingly hesitating whether to go and check on the situation.

Ultimately, Fukuide Sei chose to leave. As a direct participant in Geed's biochemical experiment, he knew very well that Geed was still in his childhood and did not have the ability to transform into an Ultra Warrior on his own. Therefore, before he could figure out what Geed had gone through, Fukuide Sei did not rush to contact him and quickly left the observation site.

Fukuide Sei's choice was correct. The very next second after he left the area, Gen Subaru arrived to observe. However, even after discovering Fukuide Sei's presence, Gen Subaru did not intend to kill him on the spot. Given the current unclear situation, it would be good to be able to reliably track down an enemy.

Hmm... I knew it...

Meanwhile, Yuan Mao made a new discovery. He slowly landed on a patch of scorched earth, gently swept away the soil around him, and looked down into the ground. There, he saw a crater created by the monster's corpse, and at the bottom of the crater, there were faint traces of a ghostly blue.
