Ultraman: I Really Didn't Want to Rule the World

Although he had wanted to be devoured more than once or twice, this was the first time he had seen someone so eager...

The monster, struggling to its feet again, didn't stop. The piercing wound on its face slowly healed, and the red probe in a straight line stared straight at Talos. The whole beast exuded a drooling aura.

Clearly, it completely regarded Talos as prey that it could devour.

This time it took the initiative to attack.

The "eyes" covering the monster's body suddenly opened, swirling within them, and dense beams of three different kinds of light shot out from them, covering Talos in a dense mass.

Talos responded with a casual sweep of his sword, the pure black blade tinged with dark red light meeting the attack head-on, completely neutralizing it.

The monster was taken aback by this move. It looked at Talos with suspicion and uncertainty. The idea of ​​devouring Talos that had just arisen suddenly became cautious.

But Talos did not. His blade hung limply to the ground as he suddenly asked, "Is my power any good?"

The monster was startled, and the previously silent creature suddenly let out a sharp wail. The dark red spear tip on its back suddenly glowed with a dark red light, with black energy faintly flowing within it, like some terrifying poison.

This was indeed no different from poison to the monster. It sensed that something that did not belong to it had entered its body, and was even frantically plundering the power that originally belonged to it. It could not even reject it, and even its own power was trying to merge with the foreign power like a moth to a flame.

It shrieked and howled, trying to expel these forces from its body, but was horrified to find that it couldn't even fire a single light blast.

Talos sheathed his longsword. Ominous black mist was emanating from the various "cracks" on the monster's body opposite him. The mist gradually thickened, enveloping the struggling and howling monster until the electronic shriek subsided.

The black mist slowly dissipated, and the monster had vanished without a trace, leaving only a pile of remains that originally belonged to the research institute.

Clearly, the black mist had devoured the energy that originally belonged to that "dark fragment," and looked down on everything else.

Toregia, who had been watching from the sidelines, took a step back without making a sound, and the next second he received a glance from Talos.

Toregia: "...As expected of a king."

Anyway, it's better to smooth things over first. What if this guy gets carried away and swallows you up too? Maybe we should feed him a universe first?

Talos, unaware of what he was thinking, decisively deactivated his transformation. Tregear secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but soon couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

It ended too quickly, which is a bit frustrating. It felt like we witnessed the opponent's strength, but also like we didn't get to glean much more...

Just as the legends say, it is so powerful that it inspires despair.

But Torregia didn't intend to give up. He still had enough time to continue maneuvering and would eventually find a way. Even if he couldn't kill him, sealing him would be an option.

After all, the King of Ultra had also sealed this one away, although he couldn't seal him for very long, but it was still a path.

However, after glancing at the ruins that were so shattered they were almost unrecognizable, Toregia silently dismissed the idea of ​​having this dark and chaotic demon as a companion.

Well, let's give up the idea of ​​spying on its power, otherwise we might end up like this thing and suffer a loss.

Feeling that he had gained something, Tregear silently transformed into human form and reunited with Hongtu to prepare for the final cleanup of the matter.

Today's mini-drama:

At the beginning...

Toregia: The power of darkness, who wouldn't covet it? Of course, so would I.

After witnessing what happened to one of them...

Toregia: Ahem, well, it's best to just observe the power of darkness from afar, and let's avoid any blasphemy. My king, are you hungry? Would you like a cosmic pill to satisfy your craving? Don't worry, I'll definitely find a delicious one.

Red Tea: ?

Chapter 1400 Chimaira

When Torregia arrived, Hongtu was standing in the ruins where the research institute used to be.

This place has been reduced to a flat area, with a patch of grayish-brown ground suddenly appearing.

Hong Tu was standing here, seemingly lost in thought.

He ignored the surveillance cameras scattered throughout the remaining buildings around him, as well as the Metabus aliens who hadn't had time to escape and were now too afraid to even move.

Despite being an outsider, he was terrified by the large number of people in his host family, and even trembled so much that he couldn't even run away.

But then again, they must have been terrified, risking everything by releasing the dangerous research subject, only to have it dealt with so easily.

Ultimately, they're just a bunch of guys who only know how to do research. They must have been so frightened by the power of darkness that even their crazy minds have been brought back to their senses.

As Torregia was thinking, Hongtu turned his head and looked at him. Upon seeing Hongtu's expression, Torregia instinctively stopped in his tracks.

Well, it's not that Hong Tu's expression was particularly terrifying at the moment, it's just that Toregia instinctively felt something was amiss.

Sure enough, he heard Hong Tu instruct him matter-of-factly: "What are you still standing there for? Go and deal with what's next."

Torregia: "..." Fine.

Torregia, who had no intention of defying Hongtu for the time being, obediently went to conduct the final negotiations.

Finally, Tregear personally confirmed the extent of the Metabus people's "infection." Fortunately, not every Metabus person was able to get close to the core research institute, so some were less infected and were directly awakened by the darkness of Talos. It is estimated that the civil war will continue for a while longer, but it is thought that these Metabus people will be able to resolve these additional hidden dangers.

Whether they are conscious or not, everyone hopes that these two dark bosses will leave as soon as possible and never appear in their sight again.

Well, after some negotiation and searching, Torregia took away some interesting research data and asked Metabus to conceal their whereabouts before reporting back to Red Tea.

Hong Tu said it didn't matter; once they were dealt with, he could go back.

Ugh, Dark Circle is so annoying. I already said it wasn't intentional, but who knew that monster wouldn't even be able to gather a single card in the end? I'd better hurry up and get a monster to appease it. Can't you see that the monsters in my deck are all restless?

I don't know what's so great about a messy, failed product.

……

Following Torregia's teleportation, they quickly returned to Earth.

Time in the universe moves much slower than time on Earth, so even though resolving the whole matter didn't actually take much time, four days had already passed on Earth.

Tregear's contingency plan has succeeded; while Red Tea was not on Earth, Taiga and his crew had already collected an additional Monster Ring.

These three were young and hadn't thought about the origin of the monster ring at all.

After greeting Igis and the others and explaining that he had returned, Hong Tu resumed his daily routine on Earth.

Toregia has been unusually well-behaved lately, but Hong Tu is too lazy to investigate. The Dark Ring is just too noisy this time, and the bombardment is almost unbearable for Hong Tu.

He could only give Dark Circle another [Neg] dark card to quiet the guy down.

Incidentally, the Metabus aliens who arrived on Earth earlier somehow joined the Human Foreign Affairs Unknown Department, supposedly as part of a technical support program.

Well, another thing is the game launch event that Hongtu has been looking forward to. Although the test exhibition was canceled for a while, for Earthlings who often encounter alien events, it's only a few days' memory. Moreover, there was no loss. So, five days later, the game went straight into launch event mode, but the test exhibition was also held at the same time.

Hong Tu naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity; after calming down the Dark Ring, she excitedly went to the exhibition.

But... sometimes being too lucky isn't necessarily a good thing.

For example, you'll always encounter your favorite food—oh no, I mean monsters.

Question: What would it feel like to be attacked by a strange tentacle that suddenly emerges from the ground while you are on the street?

It's probably like something out of a horror movie. Countless vine-like tentacles emerge from the ground, their tips resembling trumpet-shaped mouthparts. They will tightly wrap around you, sucking at your vulnerable neck like prey, drawing something out of your body.

By the time Hong Tu discovered it, two innocent humans had already fallen into a coma.

This is the park's green belt, where lush vegetation conceals the vine-like tendrils on the ground, and also hides the unconscious humans.

By this time, the peak period for human traffic had passed, and it was the sparsest time of year. It was likely that these people would not be discovered until a little later.

Hong Tu, without changing his expression, stomped off the tentacles that were trying to reach him, used his shadow to block the splattering yellow-green sap, took out his phone and dialed an emergency number, intending to send the unconscious humans to the hospital first.

Although they don't appear to be in any immediate danger, there is a clear, dark circular mark on their necks, with two teeth marks in the center. It would be best to get them checked out.

By the time he finished the call, the Dark Ring had already recognized the monster's identity.

"!!!" It's Qimaila!!!

When it comes to identifying monsters, Dark Circle is definitely the most professional.

"Qimayila?" Hongtu felt that the monster sounded familiar.

Speaking of monsters, the Dark Ring is quite clear: "..." Chimaira is a rare and extremely powerful monster. Chimaira feeds on a special energy source, but lacking the necessary organs, it can only obtain food by attacking other creatures, making it a ferocious and bloodthirsty beast. A powerful Chimaira can even control or transform living beings into monsters! However, Chimairas are generally quite intelligent, preferring to hide and secretly attack living beings; this is the first time I've heard of a Chimaira simply abandoning its prey afterward.

Although something felt a little strange, it paled in comparison to the monster card that was about to be acquired.

The dark ring immediately perked up: "!" It must be nearby! Grab it now!

Not just nearby, but right under their feet.

Hong Tu glanced at the ground. This monster was indeed quite perceptive in some ways. It seemed to realize that there was a troublesome creature on the ground, so it immediately hid and obediently retracted its tentacles. Heaven knows that it was so keenly detected that it had only used a little bit of power.

But... choosing a monster or a game seems to be the question?

Today's mini-drama:

Dark Ring (pointing): That's a fragment of ancient darkness! You just ate it like that, without leaving me even a single bit!

Hong Tu: ...This thing isn't anything special, it's just something with a weird flavor.

Dark Ring: Is this the key point?

Hong Tu: What is that?

Dark Ring: You didn't even leave me any!!!

Red Tea: ...

Chapter 1401 The Magician and Chimaira

Chapter 1401 The Magician and Chimaira

Hongtu is weighing which one to choose.

Actually, going to the exhibition doesn't take much time, but since there are demo projects, it means the competition is fierce, and if you go late, there might not be any spots left.

But if we let this monster cause trouble here... it seems like the exhibition might have to be postponed again.

Looking at it now, the choices seem limited?

"So, what kind of energy is it consuming?" When Hong Tu looked down at her feet again, the monster had already moved to a different spot. It burrowed deep and ran very fast. Hong Tu didn't stop it, and in the blink of an eye, the creature disappeared. At least it was out of Hong Tu's sight.

If we're looking for it now, it might take a while.

How about we try to fish for it first?
