In Ultraman: Starting with the Battle Device

"Huh? No, no, wait a minute, what does that mean?" Haruki asked in surprise.

“It means exactly what it says. My brother Ace named me Zeta,” Zeta said.

"Eh! You're the one who named Zeta!" Haruki exclaimed in shock.

“Zeta means ‘last’ in Earth’s language. You must become the last hero who will end wars in this universe and bring lasting peace,” Ace explained the origin of the name.

“Brother Ace…” Zeta didn’t know what to say.

Ace clenched his fist and stretched out his arm.

Zeta immediately responded upon seeing this.

The old and new Olympic leaders completed their meeting under the setting sun.

Ace then left and flew into the air.

This incident can be considered to have come to an end.

However, the days that followed were anything but peaceful.

The Earth Defense Force's US headquarters dispatched a high-ranking officer to the Japanese branch to spearhead a terrifying research project.

By analyzing the extradimensional energy remaining in Baraba Corner, they secretly developed a terrifying weapon capable of destroying dimensions.

This weapon was tested on an island in the Pacific Ocean.

The final result was that half of the island's space was evaporated.

Its power is terrifying.

After showing the experimental video to the armory staff and others, Commander Kuriyama immediately indicated that he wanted to equip the King Joe and Dangerous Wanderers with this weapon.

"Are you planning to use the weapon that destroyed half the island in actual combat?" Haruki said incredulously.

“This is far too dangerous. We haven’t even fully figured out whether energy from other dimensions will affect our dimension!” Yuka said.

"However, the high command of the defense forces believes that the destructive power of this new weapon can be controlled," Kuriyama said helplessly.

He didn't understand why the development of this weapon was completed so suddenly, and why it received strong support from the US headquarters.

The pressure from the top was too great, and he couldn't withstand it.

"They're being too presumptuous," Yuka said worriedly. "Without enough operational data, they're putting it on the King Bridge. Who knows what problems that might cause?"

Just as they were arguing about this, Raven, who was passing by, suddenly stopped.

"Didn't I already kill Cerebro? How could this still happen?" he said, somewhat puzzled.

Haruki's tone was agitated, and he was still very resistant to the matter, but Jugglus stopped his extreme behavior.

"Actually, I feel the same way as everyone here, but this matter has been decided, and I hope everyone can understand." With that, Commander Kuriyama bowed deeply.

After saying that, he left because of severe stomach pain.

On the other side, inside the hangar.

The defense forces are already working intensively to equip King Joe with D4 ray weapons.

Meanwhile, Ye Hu and the others from the maintenance team could only sit by and watch helplessly, unable to stop it.

"Jingu Bridge is now fully loaded!"

With the completion of a series of tedious installations, the defense forces shifted their focus to dangerous homeless individuals.

However, things did not go as smoothly as before.

"I'm sorry, but the Dangerous Gadget doesn't have any extra space to load other weapons," Raven said to the female officer in charge as he appeared in the hangar.

She is none other than Makoto Yuuki, the operations officer of the Japanese branch of the Defense Forces.

"Why don't we just dismantle the main weapon? Let's continue," Mai urged immediately.

“Heh, the Dangerous Gadget’s main weapon is its power system. If you remove it, the mech will lose its power source and become useless,” Raven said again.

"Moreover, the maximum power of the Magus Cannon is no weaker than what you call the D4 ray. What you are doing with it now is meaningless."

Mai Yuuki didn't speak, but looked at her subordinates.

The man checked the data of the Dangerous Ranger on a main control computer and finally said, "Minister, it's exactly as he said."

“In that case, let’s put this mech on hold for now,” said Mai Yuki. “Load D4 onto another mech that is still under development.”

"Yes!" Upon receiving the order, the men immediately sprang into action, heading towards the edge of the hangar where the mechs were nearly finished.

This is a red mech with four arms.

This is also the second mech that Raven was responsible for building, following Gipsy Danger.

……

Chapter 759 Kerubim

"This seems to be a bit troublesome," Raven sighed.

That mech over there is called Crimson Storm. It's a fourth-generation mech manufactured by China in Pacific Rim.

Originally it only had three arms, but because this is an improved version and there is no need to consider the number of drivers, it was upgraded to have four arms.

The internal space also has just enough room to accommodate the D4 ray cannon muzzle.

It also has two power systems: one is conventional energy, and the other is meteor technology from the Meteor world of Ultraman Mebius.

Compared to the previous ones, this time the Meteor Technology event will last a full 3 minutes.

It's not a huge amount, but it's not a small amount either. However, if such a large machine were to go out of control, the consequences would be extremely terrible.

"Dr. Takano, what should we do now?" The maintenance crew members came to Raven's side at this moment.

“There’s nothing we can do; it’s an order from above.” Raven shook his head.

Since the Earth Defense Force is determined to go down this crazy path, they will never learn their lesson unless they suffer a major setback.

Raven also wanted to see just how far they could go in their self-destructive behavior.

[A meteorite has fallen at the Nakanotori Island test site in the Eastern Pacific!]

The base's security system immediately issued an alert.

"What? Is this the place where the D4 blasting test was conducted?" Jugglus Juggler immediately looked at the screen.

"I'll play the video." Yuka immediately started operating the computer.

Everyone immediately looked at the big screen, where a spherical meteorite stood on the ground, radiating electric sparks.

Wow!

Then, a sudden change occurred!

The meteorite transformed directly into a ferocious monster.

"The meteorite turned into a monster?" Haruki exclaimed in shock.

"This guy's got a problem," Jugglus Juggler said, looking annoyed.

"Hey, Captain, do you know that monster?" Yuka asked curiously.

This monster from outer space seems to have no record on Earth.

“Hmm… I’ve heard about it from others.” Jugglus Juggler immediately explained, “That cosmic monster is called Kerubim. It likes to attack planets with powerful energy waves and then parasitize them.”

“That means it was attracted by the D4 experiment,” Yoko said.

"I'm pretty sure I'm right," Jugglus Juggler said, frowning.

[Kairubim is moving northwest at a speed of 720 kilometers per hour and will reach our country in 20 minutes.]

"So it seems that Kerubim is heading towards our base?" Yuka immediately thought.

“Power attracts power,” Jugglus Juggler said thoughtfully.

At that moment, Commander Kuriyama suddenly walked into the command room.

"I have just received orders from the General Headquarters of the Defense Forces that we will use the D4 ray in this operation."

"Huh?"

Yoko and the others were taken aback.

"Putting us into actual combat right off the bat? That's too reckless!" Jiehua stepped forward and said.

"Let King Joe fight this operation alone," Commander Kuriyama insisted. "The Dangerous Ranger will remain in place until further orders are given."

"Why should I stay put?" Yaohui said in dissatisfaction.

"This is an order from above, do you understand?" Kuriyama's tone suddenly became very firm, and then he looked at the silent Jugglus Juggler: "Captain Hebikura, is everything alright?"

“Okay, no problem,” Jugglus Juggler replied immediately.

"Captain!" Haruki shouted when he saw that Jugglus had given in.

Yoko grabbed him and said, "It's alright, leave it to me."

After lightly punching Haruki in the chest, Yoko calmly walked towards the hangar.

And so, King Joe was quickly mobilized.

Suddenly, many meteorites similar to those of Kerubim began to fall from the sky.

Shortly thereafter, Kerubim also flew to the vicinity of the armory.

King Joe immediately launched an attack.

But then, strange ripples emanated from Kerubim's body, illuminating the meteorites.

Soon after, all those meteorites hatched into Kerubim.

Inside the command center, upon witnessing this scene, Haruki immediately became worried for Yoko.

"Captain, our senior will be in danger if this continues. Please allow me to go into battle!"

“Use the D4 ray, Captain Hebikura,” Kuriyama suddenly said.

Jugglus Juggler closed his eyes tightly, as if making a decision.

"Yaohui, you should set off too," he said to Yaohui one last time.
