Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"Lina, watch out for dark places!"

Just as he received the communication, Daigo Madoka, who was about to share his discovery with everyone, immediately added:

"Obik can move in the dark, so let's use lights to try and reduce the area of ​​darkness!"

“I have calculated the possible routes Obik might take.”

Meanwhile, at the Victory Team base, the Nori members sent various planned routes to each member's personal terminal. As long as Obik is still in Hikono Street, by inputting the coordinates of his next appearance, the personal terminal can calculate the most suitable blocking route based on each member's current location.

"Thank you so much, Ye Rui."

With this, the GUTS team's blockade of Obik became much faster. Through route planning, Daigo Madoka ambushed Obik's path in advance. In this area with electric lights, he suddenly appeared and blocked Obik's way as he continued to laugh.

Upon seeing this familiar figure blocking his way, Obik frowned slightly. He disliked this human, for no reason other than that first impression.

However, Obik did not intend to use the suona to attack Daigo Madoka. He simply continued to laugh, leaping high into the air and passing over Daigo Madoka's head as if walking on flat ground, before landing on the ground. Seeing Daigo Madoka's surprised expression, he let out an even more hearty laugh.

But Obik burst out laughing the next second. Lina had already blocked Obik's way with the high beams of the mobile vehicle. Commander Munakata and Horii also rushed over from other directions with flashlights. Obik looked around and finally plunged into the dead end next to him, which was also the place that the GUTS team wanted him to go.

"You monster, you have nowhere to go."

Panting heavily, Horii shouted as he looked at Obik, who had already put down his ramen cart:

"Surrender now, before you commit any crimes."

"Hmph, don't call me a monster, my name is Obik!"

Standing beside the ramen stall cart, Obik looked at the humans in front of him and said with a sneer:

"The one next to me is my shadow. Shadow, come out!"

After saying that, Obik struck the ramen stall cart next to him with his suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument), then kicked it. Immediately, a door under the cart opened, and something resembling a black, blocky object emerged from it. This was Obik's companion, the Shadow Mage, who had dragged away the terrified young man. The Shadow Mage, who emerged, raised his body high like a snake and breathed out scorching flames, startling the members of the Victory Team into taking a step back.

"You...you'd better not underestimate the power of darkness, hahahahaha!!!"

Amidst the renewed burst of laughter, Obik discarded his white wig, revealing his shiny bald head. He then raised his suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument), unleashing a spiral of energy that destroyed the light bulb above his head. In the ensuing darkness, he vanished into the shadows thanks to his teleportation ability.

After confirming that Obik had left, Daigo Madoka smiled slightly, slowly took a device from his waist, and said softly:

"Then you'd better not underestimate the power of humanity."

"Eh, what is this....."

Horii looked at the instrument in Daigo Madoka's hand, as if he had remembered something:

"I know, the monster tracker you just threw into the pot. You're quick on the uptake, kid!"

"hey-hey."

"etc....."

At this moment, Commander Zongfang realized something, looked around, and said softly:

"Wait, where's Xincheng?!"

"Oh yeah, where's Xincheng?"

"It seems like he's been silent ever since the patrol started."

After being reminded by Commander Zongfang, everyone realized that something was wrong. They had been so focused and excited while chasing Obik that they had actually become aware of what was going on with the Xincheng team.

"Ye Rui".

Commander Zongfang used the communicator on his helmet to call out to the base. Ye Rui immediately began trying to track the location of the Shinjo team member. Soon, Ye Rui found him, but judging from the signal emitted by the Shinjo team member, he was already dozens of miles away from the Yanye Street area.

"Did Obik dump him there?"

Given the previous examples of victims, the members of the GUTS team couldn't help but think the same way, and...

Shin-chan is really timid and afraid of ghosts. After being scared like that by Obik, is he really okay?!

Upon realizing this, everyone's expression changed. Obik was truly despicable; with so many people involved, he had chosen New City as his first target.

"Commander, something's not right."

However, at that moment, the communication from the Wild Team member came through again. This Victory Team member at the base typed rapidly on the keyboard and said earnestly:

"There is a strange energy fluctuation at the location where the Shinjo team members are currently located. It is... it is... it is the light energy reaction of Senior Gen Subaru."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, the Victory Team members who were on field duty couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. They never expected to hear this familiar name here.

Anyway, let's go take a look first.

Regardless of why Gen Subaru's light energy reaction appeared somewhere, and regardless of whether it was Obik or Gen Subaru who led the Shinjo team to that place, they had to go and take a look to confirm. Commander Munakata waved his hand, and everyone immediately squeezed onto the Victory Team's vehicle, speeding towards the coordinates given by the Nozue team member. The matter was urgent, so the vehicle completely ignored traffic lights and, under Rena's superb driving skills, sped all the way. As for the rest, let TPC's external affairs department and the government traffic police discuss it.

Thus, with this acceleration, the Victory Team's vehicle arrived at the designated location in no time—a warehouse, marked on the map as a grain reserve. However, since the signal from the Shinjo team had come from within, it meant something strange was amiss inside. Thinking this, Commander Munakata immediately led his team to infiltrate the warehouse...

472 The Evolution of Pure White Light

Quite by chance, just after Gen Subaru finished fighting that alien beast, the call from Shinjo came through. When Gen Subaru first heard it, he was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard. But after thinking about it for a moment and comparing it, hey, it really was Shinjo.

After all, he was one of the Victory Team members who were pulled away for special training, so Subaru still remembered his voice.

Since that was the case, Gen Subaru didn't bother to adjust and quickly responded to his call, heading to the TPC Earth universe plane. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the Mazaras aliens erecting mirrors in this granary, while simultaneously dragging humans and aliens into the mirrors and taking them to their territory.

The sudden appearance of Gen Subaru also alerted the people of Mazaras. These aliens exchanged glances and then decisively chose to take down Gen Subaru first, and then deal with this guy who looked like a human child.

So, Gen Subaru launched a counterattack without hesitation. Although he had just finished fighting that alien beast and didn't have much energy, his new ability, which he had just developed from the pure white light, was quite suitable for dealing with these Mazaras aliens.

So when the members of the Victory Team arrived, what they saw was an overwhelming massacre. The only thing that Genji regretted was that the home planet of these Mazaras aliens was the territory in the mirror or some other place. There was no detailed record in the database of the Land of Light. He had just killed too many people and forgot to check the memories in the minds of these Mazaras aliens.

All I can say is that he was exhausted from just finishing a fight, so tired that his brain was a bit sluggish and his hands were moving faster than his brain.

"Understood. That idiot Xincheng really benefited from this. As for the Mazaras aliens... well... we'll report this to the director."

Seeing the regretful look on Gen Subaru's face, Commander Munakata remained silent for a moment before finally taking over the conversation. As he replied to Gen Subaru, he couldn't help but feel a surge of relief, thankful that Gen Subaru was on the side of humanity and Earth. Otherwise, even with Ultraman Tiga, Commander Munakata would still feel extremely uneasy.

"That's settled then. Let's leave first. I didn't hold back just now. This kind of scene is still too exciting for you."

At this moment, Subaru noticed the pale faces of Rena and Horii, clapped his hands to shake off the alien blood on them, and then said softly:

"Perfect timing. I also have some things to take care of and need to organize my thoughts. I'll be bothering you TPC for a while."

"No problem, no problem at all. The director will definitely welcome you."

Commander Zongfang smiled and agreed, then led everyone away from the granary. At the same time, Commander Zongfang also sent a message to the relevant departments of TPC. After all, the reserve granary was empty, which did not seem normal. He wanted someone to come and check it out, lest someone set fire to the granary later.

After all this was over, the members of the GUTS team could finally go back to the base and get some rest. However, after saying goodnight to each other, Daigo Madoka quietly came to the door of the guest room where Subaru Gen was staying. Before Daigo Madoka could knock, the door opened automatically, and Subaru Gen was sitting at the table, obviously waiting for his arrival.

"Senior Gen Subaru, are you alright?"

Daigo Madoka entered the room and immediately asked anxiously. Although Subaru appeared perfectly normal on the outside, with no apparent abnormalities, Madoka could clearly sense that Subaru's light energy was now quite weak, at least compared to when he last saw Subaru.

"It's nothing, I just dealt with a rather troublesome enemy... well... saying troublesome doesn't quite fit."

Gen Subaru gently twirled the teacup in his hand. Although he no longer needed to eat or drink, he always felt unsure of where to put his hands if he wasn't holding something. Besides, wasn't this twirling of the teacup a very adult-like gesture?

Yuan Mao was telling the truth. When he took the [Copy Engine] to the sealed ring to deal with the alien beast, he saw the beast, corrupted by primal energy, making strange wriggling sounds. These sounds weren't normal movements, but rather like it was accumulating some kind of energy. It was clear that the alien beast was instinctively trying to remove the seal. In the time Yuan Mao was away, the alien beast might have tried many different methods.

Upon the arrival of Gen Subaru, the alien beast reacted immediately. It seemed to recognize Gen Subaru as the master of the seal and launched a fierce attack. Various lumps of flesh separated from the alien beast and then turned into all sorts of strange things.

This is different from the one Yuan Mao saw last time. When they met last time, this alien beast didn't seem to have this ability. It was just expanding unconsciously, and its methods weren't so fancy. It seems that even within the seal, this combination of alien beast and primordial energy is still undergoing self-evolution.

As the monsters that evolved from the fleshy mass approached Gen Subaru, Gen Subaru also sensed intense negative energy on them, which was almost a tangible form of fear energy. Without a doubt, the ultimate evolutionary path chosen by this alien beast was still its old ways, greatly strengthening and developing its characteristic of growing by absorbing fear.

However, none of this matters.

With a wave of his hand, Yuan Mao revealed the [Copy Engine], mobilizing its power to counteract the primordial energy, instantly erasing half of the power of those creations of fear energy.

However, at that moment, Gen Subaru gently tapped the [Copy Engine]. As Gen Subaru moved, the light emitted by the [Copy Engine] began to change. The pure white light turned into a pale white, like pure milk mixed with a large amount of pure water, and was dispersed. But that pale white was the energy state emitted by the [Engine] itself, which was held by Ultraman Noa, when it fought against the original body.

This is what Subaru discovered when he experimented on the remnant soul of the Reiblood alien. It seems that even Regedo's predecessor misjudged the situation; his pure white light didn't appear to be purely [Engine Power]...

473 The True 'Edge'

Gen Subaru looked at the [Copy Engine] in his hand, then stretched out his other hand. With a slight shake, pure white light emitted a faint glow in his palm. Perhaps the pure white light was still too weak at that time, still in its developmental stage, and the characteristics it displayed were more like [Engine Power], which is why Senior Legend had mistaken him.

But now, as Subaru continues to fight, respond to the calls, and save the world and even the universe, this pure white light has begun to break free from the influence of the [Engine Power] and develop its own characteristics.

However, this true power awakened in a rather hidden way. Even though this change was based on the evolution of Gen Subaru himself, and even though Gen Subaru was the master of this power, if it weren't for the previous accident that made Gen Subaru realize that something was wrong, he would probably have had to wait a long time for this power to grow and evolve further before he would have realized its existence.

It's not that Subaru's perception is malfunctioning; it's just... simply... well... to give an analogy, even the fat on a human's belly will silently increase or decrease when you overeat or exercise, until one day, it reaches a certain limit, or you only realize it when you glance at it unintentionally, "Oh, my weight has become like this."

The power that this pure white light grew into was something that Gen Subaru couldn't quite understand. This power was very complex. It exhibited certain 'time' characteristics, but it was an energy reaction that was completely different from time. Gen Subaru could use this newfound ability to lock onto the appearance of any object at any 'time point' in the past.

Furthermore, this lock is unaffected in any way. At least for now, even the Primal Ability cannot stop this 'peeping'. Also, when conducting experiments on the remnant souls of the Reiblood aliens, so many experiments were carried out without incurring any 'time' penalty.

After locking onto the 'past', Gen Subaru could then make comparisons. Using the remnant soul of the Reiblood alien as an example, he could now be considered a wandering ghost, but in the past, he was quite imposing. The 'wandering ghost state' is the 'entry' that appears afterward.

Now, Gen Subaru can tear off this entry. As long as he has enough energy, the remnant soul of the Reiblood alien will instantly return to its peak state the moment he tears off this entry.

But that's not all. If Gen Subaru wanted to, he could continue to "lock on and observe" the Reiblood alien in its peak state. As long as his "lock on and observe" was not lifted, no matter what happened to it or what kind of enemies or attacks it encountered, its state would not change. In a sense, the Reiblood alien in that state achieved true "eternity"!

This...

This is not the full extent of the power of the Pure White Light. Gen Subaru realized that his actions had caused this power, which belonged only to him, to continue climbing upwards on the shoulders of the giant [Engine Power], thereby achieving even more powerful characteristics.

Honestly, I feel like my research is getting more and more endless.

Thinking of this, Yuan Mao rubbed his hair with a chill down his spine. He could only say that truth is endless, and as things develop, new things and problems will always appear before him.

However, this topic is a bit far off, and now is not the time to think about such philosophical questions.
