In Ultraman: Starting with the Battle Device

Being a grunt is fine.

"Masaki Keigo, I admire your idea, but you've underestimated Ultraman's power..."

"If you're not prepared, you'll only lose your way and eventually be consumed by Ultraman's power," Raven said loudly to Masaki Keigo.

"It's not too late for you to let go of this now."

Upon hearing Raven's advice, Masaki Keigo burst into laughter: "Put it down?"

"Shh!"

He gestured for Raven to shut up.

"Just watch, I'm about to evolve from this short creature like humans!"

……

Chapter 45 Beating Up Evil Ultraman Tiga (Seeking Silver Tickets!!)

Masaki Keigo stood in front of the photogene converter, surrounded by four lightning rod-like pillars that gathered dark energy obtained from the Sword of Evolution.

"Ancient power, transform me into light!"

Masaki Keigo raised his hands and shouted loudly.

Suddenly, the Sword of Evolution emitted a black and red light, engulfing Masaki Keigo's body.

Raven, who was underground, couldn't help but feel worried as he watched this scene. Masaki Keigo originally transformed using Daigo's Spark Lens, but he had fallen into darkness because of his own evil thoughts.

Now, he is using his own sword of evolution, which is filled with dark energy. It is unknown whether this will have any unexpected effects on him.

"what--!"

This power surged into Masaki Keigo's body, causing him great pain; this was a side effect of forcibly fusing with the stone statue.

The lingering consciousness of the giant statue still harbored some aversion towards him.

"Great light!"

Masaki Keigo survived this ordeal through sheer willpower. His body transformed into particles of light and was immediately absorbed into the energy indicator light of the giant statue.

"Did he really succeed?"

Saki and Lucia were immediately shocked. The legend of the Giant of Light had been circulating throughout the universe, and many races and civilizations knew about it to some extent. Especially for Lucia's planet, the Giant of Light was like a god.

But now, not only have two of the legendary Giants of Light appeared on Earth, but humans have even figured out how to become giants.

The fact that Earthlings, who haven't even been able to travel through interstellar space, have mastered this power is something that will surely shock them for a long time.

After the stone statue merged with Masaki Keigo, a strong light was emitted, but it was immediately corrupted by a dark energy.

Masaki Keigo's evil heart merged with the dark energy of the Sword of Evolution.

Finally, a sinister dark giant appeared.

"Hahahahaha."

Masaki Keigo laughed arrogantly, having successfully transformed into Ultraman through his intelligence.

Then he glanced at the short Raven on the ground and stomped on him, intending to flatten him.

"This guy." Seeing Masaki Keigo's actions, Raven immediately forced himself to move aside, despite his still-recovering body.

Then he immediately took out the combat device from his body.

"Come out, Melba!"

"Combat system activated!"

The card belonging to Melba flew out of the battle device and then swept past the side of the battle device.

"Hiss—!"

EX Melba appeared!

Masaki Keigo was somewhat surprised to see a huge monster suddenly appear in front of him.

But then he attacked without thinking, now believing he had gained godlike power and was bursting with confidence.

His attacks landed steadily on Melba, but they couldn't harm the current EX Melba. After all, EX Melba was terrifyingly strong in both defense and attack.

"laugh--!"

Just as Evil Tiga was in shock, Melba immediately spat out an orange destructive beam from his mouth. Melba reacted and formed a purple energy shield with his hands, barely managing to block the terrifying attack.

On the ground, Raven took the opportunity to come up to the stone steps and untie Saki and Lucia.

“Raven…”

After the ropes were untied, Lucia collapsed onto Raven. She felt numb all over and had no strength to move.

It's obvious that Lucia was only captured by Masaki Keigo after being hit by a stun gun; otherwise, with the physical strength of an Earthling, he might not have been able to defeat Lucia.

Feeling the warm body collapse onto him, Raven said with self-reproach, "I've dragged you all into this."

"Saki, Lucia is in your care. Take her to a safe place," Raven said to the two women.

"Then be careful, you can't be careless again," Saki reminded Raven.

Hearing this, Raven awkwardly scratched his head and said, "It's okay, you don't need to worry."

"I won't let this guy get away with this."

Raven turned around and looked at Evil Tiga, who was being unilaterally beaten by Melba. He felt that he still had a lot of anger that he needed to release himself.

After Saki and Lucia left the cave, Raven picked up the Sword of Evolution from the Light Gene Converter.

"Apharos!"

Without any hesitation, he transformed into Ultraman Apharos.

"Boom~"

Raven's appearance shook the entire cave.

He walked slowly forward, his black and red form giving off a terrifying sense of oppression. Combined with his current angry aura, he actually looked more like a villain than Masaki Keigo.

Raven gestured for Melba to step aside, then waved defiantly at the evil Tiga that Masaki Keigo had transformed into.

At this moment, Masaki Keigo, who had transformed into Evil Tiga, could not stand such provocation. Ignoring Melba's presence, he immediately lost his mind and attacked Raven.

"boom!"

Raven also threw a punch at him.

When their fists clashed, Raven remained completely still, while Masaki Keigo seemed to have struck an iron plate.

The shockwave made his arm go numb, and he couldn't help but stagger backward.

While he was still examining the injury on his arm.

Raven then stepped forward and slammed his knee into Raven's stomach.

Then he clenched his fists together and delivered a powerful blow to Masaki Keigo's back.

In an instant, Evil Tiga collapsed to the ground.

Raven stepped on his head, then looked down at him and said mockingly, "Is this all you've got?"

At this moment, even with the blessing of dark energy, Masaki Keigo's current strength is at most at the level of Ultraman Tiga.

Moreover, being unfamiliar with Ultraman's abilities, he couldn't even speak and could only let out wails.

"Get up."

Raven then lifted the stunned Masaki Keigo up with one hand and slammed him hard against the solid rock wall, creating a human-shaped crater.

"I wasn't done yet, how did you collapse?" Raven said with some regret, looking at the half-dead Evil Tiga.

"Ding-dong~! Ding-dong~!"

Due to the immense damage he suffered, the indicator light on Evil Tiga's chest finally began to flash. Normally, the Dark Giant wouldn't easily run out of energy.

"Stop playing dead." Raven pulled Evil Tiga out of the rock wall and punched him in the face again.

"Weren't you very arrogant just now?" Raven punched him hard in the head, making it sink into the ground.

Seeing this bloody scene, Melba trembled with fear. Fortunately, the terrifying person was its master, not its enemy.

"boom!!!"

As Raven continued to pound down, Evil Tiga's indicator light stopped flashing.

And so, his enormous body turned into particles and disappeared.

……

Chapter 46 The Brand New System (Seeking Silver Tickets!!)

As its energy was depleted, Evil Tiga eventually turned into particles and disappeared.

Only Masaki Keigo's figure remained lying there.

"How is this possible..."

Masaki Keigo was still barely breathing when he opened his eyes and stared in terror at the horrifying figure before him.

Raven's large, scarlet eyes were staring at him.

"I've completely lost..."

Masaki Keigo accepted this reality. He thought that becoming an Ultraman himself would close the gap between him and Raven Daigo, but he never expected that the gap between Ultramen could be so big.

Raven simply picked it up with his fingers, as if he were catching an ant, and then placed it in front of him.

"From this moment on, submit to me, and I will spare your life."

Raven's voice appeared in his mind.

Raven was quite interested in Masaki Keigo's crazy idea.

Artificial Ultraman would be very interesting if it could be realized. If successful, perhaps a Land of Light could appear in this universe in the future.

"Why... what do you want to do?"
