In Ultraman: Starting with the Battle Device

"Understood! Show us what we're made of!" Karish gripped the control lever and aimed the cannon at Schuum, which was still covered by the Kurak call sign.

"call out!"

The heat blast directly blasted away the aquatic life form, Sturm.

"The induced radio waves have stopped! The artificial sun has successfully returned!"

At the TPC Far East base, cheers erupted.

In the Kurak call, Nakajima and Koda immediately pulled out the key to the self-destruct program.

Seeing that Nakajima was covered in sweat, Karish immediately stepped forward and asked, "How much longer until the explosion?"

"Two seconds." Nakajima swallowed hard, his heart pounding. "Just in time!"

After he finished speaking, Nakajima's body went limp.

"Nakajima, pull yourself together, Nakajima!"

Koda and Karishi immediately stepped forward to help Nakajima up.

Dr. Jiang Zhi stared at the scene on the large screen, feeling as if he were dreaming. "The artificial sun has returned..."

"You protected everyone, Mai," Ryo said with great satisfaction.

At this moment, the aquatic life form Sturm, which had been hit by the hot air cannon, crawled up from the seabed and quickly swam towards the surface.

"Don't think this is the end!" it said threateningly as it retreated.

"What?" In the control room, Koda hadn't expected this guy to still be alive.

Sturm burst through the sea and flew off the Earth in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it, how could I let you get away!" Dyna immediately wanted to chase after him.

But before he could act, a beam of light shot straight into the sky, breaking through the atmosphere and entering outer space.

Seeing that no one was chasing him, Sturm looked at Earth triumphantly and said, "I will be back!"

Therefore, it accelerated its escape from Earth.

But at that moment, a beam of light seemed to lock onto it, chasing after it from Earth and striking it directly!

You think you can just run away after offending the abbot?

"boom!"

Sturm's body turned to ashes in the darkness of space.

In Antarctica, Dyna stared blankly at Raven.

Raven then struck a standard pose for firing a beam of light, and Scium, far away in space, was thus annihilated.

"drop!"

"Mission accomplished!"

"Obtained the Giant Monster Fusion Device!"

"10 points reward".

At this moment, the system's voice appeared.

"A giant monster fusion device? Just what I was thinking of has come true." Raven couldn't help but laugh.

……

Chapter 138 Artificial Ultraman (Seeking Silver Tickets!!)

According to the system introduction, this Giant Monster Fusion Device can truly fuse complete individual monsters. It produces monsters that are far stronger than those fused using medals, cards, or Spark Dolls.

He was very curious to know just how terrifying the power of a fully-fledged 5th Emperor who wasn't formed by fusing the power of some monsters would be.

Dyna, who was standing nearby, noticed that Raven seemed to be in a daze and was a little puzzled. Just as he was about to go over and chat with him, a commotion suddenly occurred in the distant glacier.

It turned out to be that half-dead fish-man monster.

It struggled to crawl out, wanting to fight again, but those who created it had already been wiped out.

Dyna then unleashed a beam of light, delivering the final blow.

"Boom!"

"It's finally all over now." Captain Hibiki was very happy.

On the other side, Raven also recovered and decided not to linger, choosing to fly away directly.

Dyna watched Raven fly away with regret, but he had already reached his limit and didn't intend to chase after him. So he simply turned into light and disappeared.

After this incident, the Super Victory team members became more united, and each of them grew significantly.

As a result, some changes have also occurred within TPC.

Through this incident, they realized how vulnerable humanity is after losing Ultraman's power. Therefore, with Advisor Gondo's reasoned arguments, Project F faced fewer obstacles.

However, apart from Staff Officer Gondo, none of these people knew how the F project was progressing.

……

In a secret base.

Several giant stone statues, artificially synthesized, are being manufactured.

Various staff members were coming and going on the ground, and the person in charge was a middle-aged man named Dr. Noda.

Dr. Noda looked at the Ultraman statues in front of him with great satisfaction.

“Masaki Keigo, all that you couldn’t accomplish before, I have now accomplished for you,” Dr. Noda said softly. “But my goals are not limited to these.”

Eight years ago, Masaki Keigo suddenly transformed into Ultraman and wreaked havoc in Kumamoto City, attracting the attention of the TPC hawks.

This was a power they had always longed for but could never obtain, yet it was quietly developed by Masaki Keigo.

Unfortunately, Masaki Keigo's preparations were insufficient, and his technique was flawed, which led to his rampage.

Therefore, after being defeated by Ultraman Tiga, Masaki Keigo was also imprisoned.

The technology and researchers associated with the giants were also taken over by the TPC hawks.

Afterwards, everything there was moved to this secret base, and Dr. Noda took charge of it. However, due to pressure and obstruction from the TPC's pacifist faction, this matter could not be brought to light and had to be carried out in secret.

"Doctor, now we only need to complete the final test." An assistant approached Dr. Noda, holding a handheld computer.

In this secret base, more than 20 complete giant stone statues have already been mass-produced.

And there are plans to manufacture hundreds more!

If everything ultimately succeeds, what do those invaders and monsters from outer space matter?

All the researchers working here were deeply impressed and proud of it.

After seven years, with the support of TPC's massive funding and strength, it seems that Masaki Keigo's bold words are finally about to come true!

“Alright, let’s test No. 01 first and inject it with energy,” Dr. Noda said, looking at the giant stone statue in front of him.

Then, an instrument was deployed above the giant statue, and high-purity light energy shone directly onto the statue.

"Zizi!"

Visibly, the giant stone statue gradually comes to life under the light.

Suddenly, a giant appeared, bearing a striking resemblance to Ultraman Tiga.

"Success!"

Inside the base, hundreds of researchers who had worked tirelessly for this project for seven years cheered.

"Make it move!" Dr. Noda said calmly.

The assistant immediately started operating the computer.

So the artificial Ultraman 01 immediately sprang into action, took a few steps forward, and then looked down at them.

At this moment, Staff Officer Gondo also learned of the news and rushed over.

Upon arriving at the test site, one immediately sees the over 50-meter-tall man-made Ultraman 01 statue.

"It really worked!" Gondo was extremely excited.

When the others saw Gondo arrive, they immediately nodded and greeted him. This man was currently their biggest "investor" supporting their research. It could be said that without Gondo's secret help, they would not have achieved their success today.

“Chief of Staff Gondo.” Noda showed a slight expression of respect, then turned to look at the artificial Ultraman 01 in front of him.

"I want to know if we can put it into actual combat right now?" Gondo asked impatiently.

But Dr. Noda still shook his head.

This surprised Gondo, who frowned and asked, "Why? What's missing?"

Dr. Noda gave a confident smile and said to Gondo, "I told you before, if you just wanted a body with Ultraman's power, then you have indeed succeeded."

"But I will not approve of such experimental subjects."

“You mean…” Staff Officer Gondo immediately understood what he meant.

"Now, if we want to put it into perfect combat, we still need to take the final step..." Dr. Noda gradually became excited, and then looked at No. 01, "We will mass-produce clones with ultra-ancient genes, and then fuse them with the stone statue."

"Only by infusing the stone statue with a soul in this way can we create the most perfect artificial Ultraman!" Dr. Noda said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Staff Officer Gondo shook his head firmly and then said seriously to Dr. Noda, "Doctor, I told you not to mention this matter again. The research on Ultraman's power was already carried out under tremendous pressure."

"If it's discovered that we're also involved in human cloning and experimenting on humans, then all of this will be over." Staff Officer Gondo still has his own bottom line as a human being.

His dedication to researching Ultraman's powers stems from his desire to use them to protect humanity. He would never do anything that violates ethics or morality.

"I think this level is sufficient." Staff Officer Gondo looked at the lifelike artificial Ultraman 01 in front of him, quite satisfied.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Noda." Gondo patted Dr. Noda on the shoulder.

Dr. Noda felt a growing sense of dissatisfaction when his idea was rejected once again.

I didn't expect you to be such a short-sighted person.

Noda sighed. He didn't have the courage of Masaki Keigo to experiment on himself and merge with the stone statue, nor could he find a suitable candidate to do the experiment, because the human heart is the most difficult thing to control.

Because if you just randomly pick someone to conduct the fusion experiment, the end result will only be like Masaki Keigo, who is devoured by the power and goes berserk.
