In Ultraman: Starting with the Battle Device

A deep male voice appeared.

"Who are you?" Raven didn't care how the other person knew his identity.

“I am Masaki Keigo, someone who greatly admires you.”

The man said on the phone.

Masaki Keigo?

It was that bastard! Raven was already planning to rush over to him and throw him into space.

However, he calmly said, "Saki and Lucia are in your hands, right?"

"Is this how you respect me?" Raven questioned.

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate obediently from now on, these two aliens will be fine," Masaki Keigo said.

"So what exactly do you want?" Raven pressed him to reveal his purpose.

"I need the item that allows you to transform into Ultraman."

"Bring it to Kumamoto City and find me." After saying that, Masaki Keigo hung up.

Knowing who I am, how could he be so confident as to let me meet him? This Masaki Keigo is far too arrogant.

I just didn't expect that the other party had already completed the photogene converter at this time.

……

In Kumamoto City, Raven followed the location sent by his communicator and found himself in front of the newly built building of Cedik Technology Company.

He knew there was a passageway beneath the building, and that Saki and Lucia were located in the vicinity.

So he barged through the gate.

"Please show your work ID."

The gatekeeper stepped forward and stopped Raven.

"Get out of here."

Lei Wen ignored them and went straight through the gate. The two guards immediately pulled out their stun guns to try to stop him.

Raven turned around and quickly knocked them to the ground with two punches. He had controlled his strength perfectly in those two punches, otherwise, even a casual punch from him would be something that ordinary humans could not withstand.

Soon, Raven barged into the building and went straight to the basement.

"boom!"

Seeing the tightly closed iron door at the end of the basement, Raven kicked it open.

Beyond the gate lies a secluded rock passage, where a faint light can be seen at the end.

Raven walked forward without hesitation.

……

Chapter 44 Masaki Keigo's Plan (Seeking donations!!)

"Masaki Keigo, I've arrived."

Raven walked through the tunnel and saw two huge stone statues in front of him.

These are the statues of Evil Tiga and Monster Gedi from the TV series.

"I never expected that Ultraman, whom the world fears like a god, would actually be such an ordinary human being."

In the distance, Masaki Keigo's voice came from behind the stone statue.

Raven looked closely and saw Masaki Keigo's figure, and Saki and Lucia tied up over there.

When the two women saw Raven appear, their previously quiet eyes suddenly brightened.

"Raven!"

They shouted in unison.

"Don't be afraid, he can't hurt you now that I'm here." Raven breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them.

"Such arrogance, Raven," Masaki Keigo said, clapping his hands.

"Hand over your transformation item. You fused with the statue using that, didn't you?" Masaki Keigo said, staring at Raven.

"The item is here, but you'll have to come and get it yourself."

Raven pulled out the Sword of Evolution from his body and pointed it at Masaki Keigo.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Do you think you can subdue me without transforming?" Masaki Keigo walked down the stone steps.

"I possess intelligence that surpasses that of ordinary people, and it is innate."

"Not only that, I've also been physically trained!"

Masaki Keigo tore open his shirt, showing off his muscles to Raven.

"I train like crazy so I can become Superman!"

"But you and Daigo haven't made any effort at all, especially you, you're just a playboy enjoying your parents' legacy."

Masaki Keigo roared at Raven.

"With my intelligence and ingenuity, I successfully created the optogenetic converter..."

"What I lack right now is something to turn my body into light!" Masaki Keigo had fallen into madness.

"Is this all the confidence you have?" Raven was dumbfounded when he saw Masaki Keigo take off his clothes.

Show off your muscles in front of him?

"I won't bully you either. I promise I won't use Ultraman's power."

When Masaki Keigo saw that Raven had voluntarily given up using Ultraman's power, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the insurance plan he had prepared would no longer need to be used.

"But I want you to understand one thing: even without Ultraman's power, I can still beat you to a pulp."

Raven tossed the Sword of Evolution aside and then made a provocative gesture toward Masaki Keigo.

Seeing Raven's provocative look immediately enraged him.

"Don't think of yourself as a special person. Without Ultraman's power, you are nothing!"

So Masaki Keigo immediately rushed forward and was about to punch Raven in the face!

Raven looked at Masaki Keigo rushing towards him without the slightest panic.

He focused his mind and dodged the fist just as it was about to come. Then, using normal human strength, he kicked Masaki Keigo away.

Raven stared at Masaki Keigo expressionlessly. He wanted to make his opponent admit defeat wholeheartedly, so he didn't want to use the power of the Reonics and only relied on physical skills to defeat him.

Masaki Keigo was slightly surprised. He felt that Raven's strength seemed to differ somewhat from his calculations, but he did not give up.

"ah--!"

Masaki Keigo seized the opportunity and was about to deliver a whip kick to Raven, but Raven's reaction speed was far from enough to allow him to succeed.

Raven dodged the kick in the blink of an eye, and then punched his opponent in the stomach.

"Forehead……"

Masaki Keigo knelt on the ground, clutching his abdomen, unable to speak for a long time due to the pain.

Raven felt it was time to end things, so he stepped past Masaki Keigo and went to untie Saki and Lucia.

Seeing that Raven completely ignored him, Masaki Keigo was furious, so he secretly pulled out a stun gun from his pocket.

"Watch out!" Saki and Lucia shouted at the same time.

Raven felt a chill run down his spine, and before he could turn around, he was struck by a stun gun.

A violent electric current spread through his body, making him weak and powerless.

Raven glared angrily at Masaki Keigo.

The other person slowly got up from the ground, then walked to the side and picked up the Sword of Evolution.

"I finally got it, it's so beautiful."

Looking at the Sword of Evolution, Masaki Keigo couldn't help but say with pride.

"I didn't expect you to be so despicable. I was careless," Raven said, feeling somewhat uncomfortable as the electric current passed through his body.

The stun gun was probably set to maximum power. If it weren't for my Reonic physique, I would at least be unconscious by now.

In the original work, I thought Masaki Keigo was still a person with a conscience. In the end, he even went to save Daigo. I didn't expect that he would fall into depravity in the face of the temptation of Ultraman's power. Now he will do anything to get power.

I just don't know why this guy specifically targeted me instead of Daigo.

Is it because Daigo is a member of the GUTS team while he himself appears to be just an ordinary citizen who luckily gained power?

“Raven, I admit you’re a formidable person too,” Masaki Keigo said as he walked.

"But how could Tiga and you alone possibly save this dying planet?"

"You are merely intoxicated by the praise of saving humanity!"

Masaki Keigo got more and more excited as he talked and walked up the stone steps.

"Ultraman's mission is to forcefully guide the evolution of humanity!"

"With my wisdom, I can mass-produce Ultraman by artificially synthesizing stone statue fragments, and humanity will surely overcome the crisis of destruction!"

"Therefore I am the savior of this world!"

With that, Masaki Keigo placed the Sword of Evolution on the photogene conversion device.

Raven knew that Masaki Keigo's idea wasn't wrong; after all, humanity couldn't rely on Ultraman's power forever.

Humanity will face countless external crises in the future. If we cannot protect ourselves with our own strength, we will have no sense of security at all.

However, Ultraman's power is not so easy to understand.

Apart from the complete giant stone statue in front of us, those artificially synthesized Ultraman can only be considered as half-finished products.

For example, the artificial Dyna in TPC's Project F later on was really weak.

Besides having pitifully little energy, their bodies are also very fragile.
