In Ultraman: Starting with the Battle Device

"Boom—!"

Golza's rapid fall created a powerful shockwave.

The TPC camp also felt the ground tremor.

A huge crater had formed where he had fallen, and in the very center lay Golza, unconscious.

"Hiss—Roar!!"

Melba immediately let out a triumphant roar.

This made Tiga, who was in the distance, feel a chill run down his spine. Melba had actually become so much stronger?

Raven was also very surprised by EX Melba's power, and then he looked at Golza, who was already half dead.

He suddenly had the idea of ​​adding Golza to the combat device, since this Golza had quite a lot of potential.

“But my combat device seems to be full.” Raven looked down at the combat device in his hand.

After hesitating for a while, Raven finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"System, please upgrade my space by one unit."

The system had previously stated that upgrading one slot of the combat device would require 20% of the energy, but he didn't lack that 20% energy now.

If we just use it all up like this, the idea of ​​accumulating 100% energy to upgrade the system will have to be postponed for a while.

But that doesn't matter. There are still many giant statues in this world, especially in the ruins of R'lyeh, where there are statue remains scattered everywhere, which contain abundant light and dark energy.

Previously, I didn't dare to enter the R'lyeh Ruins because I was too weak, but things are different now. Even if Camilla and the others are resurrected, so what? I am not powerless to resist.

Moreover, even without going to R'lyeh, I can still use Ultraman's power to travel all over the world at any time, and I can easily enter all those ancient ruins hidden underground and underwater.

In comparison, 20 percent of the energy is nothing.

For Raven, it simply means he needs to spend some time absorbing them one by one.

"Drip~!"

"Initiate capacity expansion!"

The system quickly completed the modification of the combat device.

There are no changes to the exterior yet, but there is an extra compartment inside.

Raven immediately raised his combat device, intending to take Golza inside.

The combat device emitted a dazzling light, enveloping Golza's body before disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Golza has disappeared?"

Zongfang couldn't help but say as he watched Golza vanish into thin air.

“Just like before.” Horii couldn’t help but recall the scene when Melba and Gakuma disappeared.

……

Chapter 37 Megumi's Worries (Seeking Silver Tickets!!)

"In any case, Golza shouldn't cause any more trouble, right?" Lina breathed a sigh of relief.

Zongfang nodded as well. Whether Golza disappeared or died, it was just a big problem that had been solved for them.

"Let's go back."

Meanwhile, Raven retrieved Melba and left the area.

Inside the command center, Megumi looked at the vanished Melba with a very complicated expression.

Raven's appearance attracted the attention of the higher-ups. After all, the fact that he could control monsters had indeed shocked the TPC leadership, and they couldn't suppress him even if they wanted to.

But what really troubled her wasn't just Raven's ability to control monsters; the key issue was his connection with Ultraman.

Megumi Kijima believes that Ultraman is very likely human.

Therefore, she deliberately avoided investigating clues related to Ultraman because she wanted to prevent a conflict between humans and Ultraman one day.

Because the TPC police are so obsessed with deciphering Ultraman's secrets, and even attempt to master this mysterious power that is beyond human control.

If they discover Ultraman's identity at this point, unpredictable conflicts will inevitably occur.

If Raven is Ultraman, this action against him could very well lead to an immeasurable conflict.

Therefore, we must not resort to force.

……

Back home, Raven gripped the combat device and carefully considered the current situation.

He could clearly feel that the spread of darkness within his body had slowed down, all because he hadn't engaged in combat that day.

For now, we should try to avoid transforming and leave the fighting to Melba and the others.

After all, he was well aware of EX Melba's power; even the current Tiga was no match for him. If EX Golza and EX Gakuma were to appear later, he could practically roam freely in the Ultraman world.

After seeing hope, Raven slept very well and finally stopped having that bizarre nightmare.

Late at night, Raven was half asleep and about to turn over when he inexplicably bumped into a soft body.

He immediately sensed something was wrong, and then groggily opened his eyes.

"?"

He suddenly realized that Lucia had fallen asleep in his bed at some point.

Raven carefully checked his surroundings again; it was indeed his room.

Why did she end up in my bed?

Countless thoughts flashed through Raven's mind at that moment.

She likes me? Holy crap, are they all this open and direct on their planet?

"Whoo~"

Raven tried to regulate his breathing, afraid of disturbing Lucia, in case she had just gone to the wrong room.

I cannot do such a despicable thing.

Then, Raven carefully got out of bed, pushed open the door to his room, and went out.

I came to the balcony to calm down, only to find a figure already there.

Wearing her pajamas, Saki leaned against the balcony, gazing at the starry sky, lost in thought.

"Saki, what are you doing?"

Raven's voice broke the silence of the night. He could see the sorrow in Saki's face as she longed for her hometown.

What's meant to happen will happen.

Although Raven was somewhat reluctant to part with her, he fully understood Saki's homesickness.

"Raven, you're not asleep either?"

Saki quickly concealed her somewhat downcast mood and then spoke to Raven.

“Saki, actually Machina has almost recovered now, you can set off at any time.”

Raven said to Saki.

"Really!" Saki was pleasantly surprised, but then she felt a little disappointed.

"Thank you."

Saki looked at Raven very seriously, which showed that Saki also had feelings for Earth.

“But for your safety, I will accompany you there in person,” Raven said.

There are still many dangers lurking in the universe.

Especially in areas close to Earth, many aliens and cosmic monsters are inexplicably drawn to Earth.

There are probably many more aliens on their way here.

“But aren’t you supposed to protect the Earth?” Saki said to Raven.

"Don't worry, Daigo is here."

"And I didn't just do this for you."

"I want to settle accounts with the Muzhen Star People and the Crow People. These two civilizations have harmed countless lives; it's time they were punished," Raven said earnestly to Saki.

And so, Saki decided to set off in three days, but before that, she wanted to travel around and see the earth one last time.

After considering it for a while, Raven agreed to her request, but also gave Saki a communicator. He told her to press it whenever she was in danger, and he would appear in front of her immediately.

He was afraid that the TPC people would be detrimental to Saki.

The next day, Raven woke up on the sofa and suddenly heard a scream coming from his room.

Not long after, Lucia hurriedly walked out, clutching her chest with her clothes.

She looked at Raven lying on the sofa and suddenly understood something. Then, somewhat embarrassed, she apologized to Raven.

“I had a little bit of your Earth’s wine yesterday, and I didn’t expect it to be so potent,” Lucia said nervously to Raven.

"It really startled me. I thought our relationship was about to take a step further," Raven said jokingly, then feigned disappointment.

"I..." Lucia hesitated, rolled her eyes at Raven, and hurriedly returned to her room.

Just as Raven was about to say something, his phone rang. It was an unknown number calling.

"Moses, Moses."

"Is this Mr. Raven?" A mature female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"That voice is..." Raven thought carefully.

It's Megumi Kiyama, the captain of the GUTS team!

Why did she suddenly contact me?

“Hello, I’m Raven,” he replied.

"I don't know if you have time today, or if it would be convenient for us to meet and talk," said Megumi Kijima.
