Starting from the destruction of the Land of Light

"Windom comes from Planet Metal in the M78 Nebula. It was tamed and taken to Earth by Ultraman Seven. It has been summoned by Ultraman Seven to help in battle many times. Its combat power is among the top of many monsters."

"We have reason to believe that this is the reason why Bogaru changed his plans. As a creature that feeds on monsters, Bogaru's favorite prey is this kind of powerful energy. The other party must have set their sights on this food source, which is why they carried out this ambush, even at the cost of exposing the identity of the Pedan alien traitor."

At the conference table, everyone listened quietly to Longtian's words.

After a pause, Chen Mo curiously asked Tang Yu in a low voice, "Where is this Windom monster capsule now?"

"We've been storing it in the lab for now. After Chu Huai helped us break the seal on Ultraman Seven, we've been monitoring Windom's data. I believe it won't be long before we can truly put it into battle," Tang Yu replied softly.

Chen Mo nodded slightly upon hearing this. This was indeed a good thing. With Windom's assistance, their Earth Defense Force would be able to put up a fight against the monsters even if Chu Huai was unable to participate in the battle.

There has been far too much chaos lately, with all sorts of monsters appearing one after another, and aliens eyeing the Earth Defense Force with predatory intent. This has put immense pressure on the ordinary people in the Earth Defense Force.

"Are you sure Windom will help us? Isn't he Ultraman Seven's monster? What if he doesn't obey?" Yang Tianyu pressed.

"No, it won't happen." At this moment, Chu Huai, who had been silent until now, broke the silence.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Chu Huai replied, "When I opened the box, there was a message left by Ultraman Seven inside. He intentionally sent Windom to Earth to help us."

"So, Ultraman Seven now..."

"I don't know." Chu Huai sighed softly and slowly shook his head.

The whereabouts of the Ultra Brothers have always been a subject of much speculation, with everyone wondering where the warriors of the Space Garrison went after the destruction of the Land of Light.

Some say they all sacrificed themselves, others say they were sealed away by those dark beings, and still others say they are hiding in a corner of the universe, secretly accumulating power, waiting for the day they can find an opportunity to fight back.

But these are all speculations, and the truth remains shrouded in mystery.

Ryuta cleared his throat, using a light cough to bring everyone's attention back, and then spoke. "Regardless of Ultraman Seven's situation for now, we need to focus on the immediate problem. Even if we want to find them, we must first ensure the safety of Earth."

"Bogaru's plan can be described as a series of interconnected steps. Utilizing the intelligence and trust gained by the Pedan aliens through long-term infiltration, Bogaru arranged everything that could be foreseen, except for the final escort stage."

"Bogaru originally had a chance to succeed."

As he spoke, Longtian paused, and the scene on the screen slowly switched to the valley where the fake Wang Kui was 'attacked' while escorting goods in the early hours of yesterday morning.

"However, outside of Bogaru, there is someone... or rather, some kind of being, who foresaw all of this in advance and took advantage of it."

"He was like a chess player who easily ruined Bogaru's plan, causing it to lose everything in just a few hours. Even our Earth Defense Force became his pawns, only realizing the truth after everything had settled down."

Ryuta's gaze swept over everyone, and he didn't say anything more, but everyone present knew who he was referring to.

"The monster controller who commands King Black..." Chen Mo touched his stiff face, his expression full of worry. "We still don't know his identity, let alone his purpose."

"What exactly is this guy trying to do?"

"Judging from the current situation, that guy doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us," Yang Tianyu said after thinking for a moment. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to return Uyingdam to us, would he?"

"Indeed, their attacks all seemed to be aimed at Bogaru. Even though they had to get involved with us, they didn't cause us any losses. In fact, in a sense, they even helped us."

"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have known that the Pedan aliens were an inside agent, let alone that Bogaru was the mastermind behind it all."

"That's true, but can you guarantee he's definitely on our side?" Chen Mo turned to look at Yang Tianyu. "His actions are indeed aimed at Bogaru, but how can you be sure that after dealing with Bogaru, he won't turn his attention to us?"

"This..." Yang Tianyu was also a little unsure how to put it.

Tang Yu tapped a few keys on the keyboard and said, "Team member Chen Mo's words make some sense. We are currently researching the history of the Bogaru race, and I have discovered that the Bogaru are notorious in the universe."

"Because of this race's demand for high-energy matter, they have destroyed countless civilizations, making them a universally hated entity in the universe. I suspect that the mysterious person who controls King Black may be one of the survivors of these destroyed civilizations."

Tang Yu's words drew everyone's attention to the large screen, which displayed records of planetary explosions observable on Earth, as well as some cosmic language.

"You mean, the guy who controls King Black is seeking revenge on Earth because his home planet was destroyed by Bogaru?"

"Yes." Tang Yu nodded and continued, "We hadn't looked into this before, so there was no record of it in the database, but after our investigation over the past two days, we discovered that this kind of thing is not uncommon in the universe."

"For a long time, the Bogaru people were hunted down by countless survivors of civilizations, which caused their population to decline rapidly. It was only after they joined the Dark Emperor's camp that they avoided the risk of being wiped out."

"With the protection of the Dark Emperor and the considerable power of the Bogaru race, they continued to run rampant in the universe. However, later, rumors circulated that the Dark Emperor had abandoned them, which caused them to lose their protection."

"I think that's why the guy who controls King Black came looking for revenge."

"The Dark Emperor is..." Yang Tianyu asked tentatively.

"We lack sufficient intelligence and do not know the other party's identity. We only know that he is a very powerful alien, and an evil being who now rules over most of the universe."

"Rumor has it that he was the one who led the army to be the first to invade the Land of Light..."

Tang Yu didn't finish her sentence, but that simple statement caused the atmosphere in the entire conference room to freeze instantly.

The young team members looked at each other, the suffocating pressure seemingly returning to their shoulders without them even realizing it.
