In Ultraman: Starting with the Battle Device

"Mermaid?"

Soon, the figure disappeared after diving into the sea, making Musashi wonder if he had seen it wrong.

"I think I saw a mermaid," Musashi said to his friend beside him.

The man chuckled and then said to Musashi, "What's wrong? Are you already itching to get married? And to a mermaid no less."

"Don't get your hopes up, Musashi, it's broad daylight," another person said sarcastically.

Meanwhile, Asuka was also playing on the nearby beach when she looked at the sea in disbelief, wondering if she was hallucinating.

So he rushed over to Raven and, panting, said to him, "Brother... no, I just saw a mermaid!"

"It's just a mermaid, what's the big deal?" Raven said lazily, lying in his chair. "You've seen all sorts of strange aliens and monsters before."

"I saw what she looks like. She's really cute, much prettier than those aliens," Asuka said with a smile.

Raven then took off his sunglasses and asked, "Besides this, did you see anything else interesting over there?"

“There’s a wedding being held in a church; it looks quite lively,” Asuka said.

"Is that so?" Raven then realized that Haruno Musashi must have already arrived here.

“Let’s go diving tomorrow,” Raven suddenly said.

Camilla then looked at Raven with great interest.

"Diving? Why?" Asuka was still somewhat afraid of the deep sea.

"I'll take you to a nice place tomorrow."

……

the next day.

Raven found a location through the system, then rented several sets of diving equipment and drove with Bird and Camilla to a remote place on Saipan.

"Big brother, why do I have to carry all this stuff by myself?" Feiniao said dejectedly, carrying a large pile of diving equipment as he followed behind Raven.

Raven and Camilla, each wearing a black diving suit, walked casually ahead.

It has to be said that the extremely tight-fitting wetsuit perfectly showcased Camilla's shapely figure. Raven couldn't help but steal a few glances at her along the way.

"Isn't this what I should do? If you do well, I'll teach you a few powerful skills." Raven said, looking at the boundless blue ocean in front of him with a cheerful mood.

"Then you'd better keep your word!" Asuka immediately perked up.

In truth, the heavy equipment he was wearing was nothing to him now that he was gradually merging with Dyna's power. His earlier complaints were just an attempt to get some benefits from Raven.

He had long coveted several of Raven's abilities, especially Meta Field and the Miracle Repair Ray. He had tried to explore them several times in Miracle Form but had never succeeded.

"I really don't understand, why do we need to wear this to go underwater?" Camilla was very uncomfortable with the diving suit and also expressed her incomprehension. After all, for the three of them, if they wanted to go underwater, they could just transform and dive in; why go through all this trouble?

"Just consider it an experience. It would be too boring if we had to use Ultraman's power for everything." Raven was quite interested in the diving project.

He was very excited to have the rare opportunity to visit Saipan, a popular resort island, especially since there was a magical blue area hidden underwater.

For a better diving experience, all three of them kept their transformation devices in the car. After all, there's nowhere to put things in a wetsuit.

Moreover, although there is a group of aliens with special abilities in the blue region they are going to, even if a conflict breaks out, it will not pose any threat to Raven and Camilla.

Camilla and Raven can use superpowers even without a transformation device.

Just then, a car drove up from another direction in the distance, and a man and a woman got out.

It was Musashi and his childhood friend, Mari.

"Mari, it's so heavy." Musashi, like Asuka, became a tool, but he was carrying the diving equipment for two people, and he looked even more exhausted than Asuka, who was carrying the equipment for three people.

Mari, wearing a pink wetsuit, said to the tired Musashi, "We'll be there once we walk down this cliff."

"But why didn't you invite Shoji and the others?" Musashi asked, puzzled.

"Those guys are still asleep, and the place I'm taking you to today is only for you to see."

"You want to show it to me?"

Mari looked at the sky, then turned to Musashi and said, "Maybe we can see mermaids there!"

Upon hearing this, Musashi felt a surge of anticipation and quickly chased after him, saying, "Wait a minute, you're walking too fast!"

"If you're a real man, hurry up!" Mari walked down the steps with a relaxed air.

But Musashi was in a terrible situation; the oxygen tank and a bunch of heavy equipment were making it hard for him to breathe.

Although he did fight monsters as Ultraman Cosmos, the time was not long, and Cosmos later left, so Musashi's physical abilities were still at the level of an ordinary human.

The two arrived at the diving spot and were about to go down when Musashi saw Raven and his two companions preparing to dive at an intersection in the distance.

"It looks like there are people diving over there too," Musashi said to Mari, who was putting on her gear.

"That's strange, nobody usually comes here to dive." Mari looked over there with a bit of doubt.

"It might just be a coincidence. After all, the scenery here is so beautiful, it's not surprising that someone would come," Musashi said.

"That should be it." With her doubts dispelled, Mari plunged into the sea, and Musashi followed suit.

Raven and his companions, who were some distance away, naturally noticed Musashi and his companion. Raven vaguely remembered that the blue area could only be opened through a device. And this device was only possessed by the girl named Mari and those aliens.

So Raven decided to follow them.

But Raven had clearly forgotten something: among the group of "mermaid" Gashi aliens in the blue area, there was one man who was extremely hostile towards them, making their dive destined to be anything but successful.

……

Chapter 207 Deep Sea Monster Rega

"How could Mari bring outsiders here?" the man said angrily, looking at Mari and her companions who were diving into the sea.

Enraged, he summoned the deep-sea monster Rega to attack them.

Raven, Asuka, and the others were clearly among the targets.

In the ocean, Raven, with Camilla and Asuka, followed Mari and Musashi from a distance.

After diving to a certain depth, Mari raised her wrist and pressed it onto a special bracelet.

At that moment, the special bracelet on her wrist suddenly flashed a few times, and then a black hole vortex appeared in the deep sea.

In the distance, Raven and the others swam quickly toward them, but at that moment, the bird stared wide-eyed ahead.

A huge, ray-like creature was swimming rapidly towards them. Its aggressiveness was obvious.

Just as Musashi was stunned by the scene before him and was about to enter the black hole together, a huge, ray-like creature suddenly attacked him.

"Gurgle gurgle—!"

This knocked off Musashi's oxygen tube, and the drowning Musashi panicked and quickly lost consciousness.

This ray creature was the deep-sea monster Rega. Just as it was about to attack Raven, Raven used his Ultra Telekinesis to briefly control it and then slammed it onto a huge underwater reef.

Then Raven fired an energy blast from his right hand, which struck Rega's body, causing it to bleed blue blood instantly.

This scene made the mermaid girl, who had originally wanted to save Musashi, too afraid to appear. She quickly disappeared along with the black hole.

Seeing that the black hole had disappeared, Raven temporarily gave up the idea of ​​going in, and immediately brought the drowning and unconscious Musashi to the beach.

"Senior, what was that monster just now? Why did it suddenly attack us?" Asuka asked, still shaken.

“Someone is manipulating it to attack us.” Raven’s previously scattered memories of the movie became clearer.

"Was that mermaid?" Asuka vaguely remembered seeing the mermaid near the black hole at the bottom of the sea earlier.

"I'm going to wipe them out." Camilla was furious and decided to take the transformation device and go underwater.

But Raven quickly grabbed Camilla's arm and said to her, "Don't be so impulsive. That black hole has disappeared, and we don't know how to get in. We can only wait for another opportunity."

"Hmph." Camilla turned her head to the side. "Is it because she's a woman that you can't bring yourself to do it?"

"I'm innocent!" Raven didn't expect Camilla to be jealous even about this. He had been so busy fighting the monster that he hadn't even seen the mermaid. It was Asuka who had been paying attention to these things.

So, instead of dwelling on Camilla's issues, Raven turned his attention to Musashi, who was still unconscious.

"Asuka, give him CPR," Raven said, seeing that Musashi was still unconscious.

"Why is it me again?" Asuka pointed at himself with a bewildered look. He was always the one who had to do these chores.

"What's wrong? You don't want to?" Raven said in an unfriendly tone.

Asuka had no choice but to comply. With a life at stake, he couldn't delay and immediately chose to give Musashi first aid.

"Wake up soon."

Asuka was seen repeatedly squeezing Musashi's chest with her hands while performing artificial respiration on his mouth.

"puff……"

Musashi quickly expelled the seawater that had been stuck in his throat and resumed breathing smoothly.

Musashi struggled to open his eyes a crack in his daze, but after seeing Asuka's large mouth close up again, he passed out once more.

Raven and Asuka were worried because he still hadn't woken up.

"She must have fallen asleep from exhaustion," Raven thought.

Just as they were preparing to take Musashi back, several fighter jets flew over and landed steadily on a flat area nearby.

Not long after, several people in blue uniforms ran over.

Then a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked over.

They are members of the SES team, responsible for investigating and protecting monsters that inhabit the ocean. It is a specialized department under SRC.

They just received a call from a girl named Mari, saying that a man had collapsed on the shore. Since they were investigating nearby, they rushed over immediately.

Upon arrival, they saw Raven and the others performing first aid on Musashi.

"Who are you?" the middle-aged man with glasses asked Raven and his group. The girl hadn't mentioned that there were other people around.

“We came here to dive, and after swimming up from the sea, we found him unconscious on the beach,” Raven began to explain.

"I see, thank you for your help," the middle-aged man with the glasses said with satisfaction.

"I am Kido, the captain of the SES team." The middle-aged man with glasses then smiled and extended his hand to Raven.

“I am Raven.” Raven then shook hands with him.
