Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

......

Marshal Stark's office, a steel room with dim yellow lighting that matches the style of the base.

A television was playing this morning's news. Marshal Steker stood by the window, gazing at the now slightly calmer ocean, his face grave. Albert sat in a chair to the side, staring at the tablet in his hand.

No one spoke; the only sound was from the television.

"Yesterday, former Field Marshal of the Rim Pacific Defense Forces, Steker Pantecost, led his private forces to the Pacific Ocean and successfully closed a breach in the seabed. This news is truly inspiring."

On screen, a male host in a suit is reporting the news.

"In addition, in order to prevent the next alien attack, the United Nations has launched a drone mech strategy, striving to ensure that every city in every country is protected by new mechs in the shortest possible time."

"Fellow citizens, the apocalypse we are experiencing is gradually approaching dawn, and your safety will be completely guaranteed. Please believe..."

After explaining a whole set of official terms.

"Finally... let's hear from Mr. Zachary Lyman."

The camera then cut to Lyman, who was in charge of the project.

This is a video recording.

A middle-aged American man with neatly combed brown hair sat on the sofa, his hands clasped together, and smiled as he spoke to the camera: "Yesterday, Mr. Stark closed the breach in the Pacific Ocean floor, making it difficult for aliens to send monsters to Earth. What they did was great."

“We all know that Jaegers have a high attrition rate in battle, and it takes a long time to train an excellent pilot. Mr. Stark almost used up all his Jaegers to accomplish this feat, so I admire them very much.”

"After the heroes return in triumph, we should offer them the highest praise, but at the same time... we should also let the weary heroes rest for a while."

"Here, I also want to tell you a fact."

At this point, Lyman's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious expression.

"Although the wormhole gap that aliens used to establish a connection with Earth has been closed, this does not mean that the threat from aliens has completely disappeared."

"They could open another breach and make a comeback."

"Therefore, we need to prepare in advance."

"The drone armor was prepared for this purpose."

"They possess the strength of conventional mechs, but without the need for pilots to personally sit in the cockpit and risk their lives to fight monsters. They will be remotely controlled by the most trusted soldiers of each country."

"Fifty drones will soon be deployed in major cities across various countries. In the event of any unforeseen circumstances, the drones will be able to take immediate action, and the safety of all citizens will be guaranteed at a higher level."

"We...will soon achieve final victory."

After saying that, Lyman raised his wine glass and gestured towards the camera.

Chapter 58 Experienced Hunter

"No matter how eloquent the words, they cannot conceal the sharpness of the blade."

Albert looked at Lyman's image on the television and said with a serious expression.

The whole "for the safety of the citizens" thing was just something the UN officials who funded that guy were saying.

Lyman's goal was no different from that of other time travelers: to completely overturn the fate of this world.

"Is this the guy?"

At that moment, Natsuki also arrived at the office. Seeing Lyman's face on the television, she crossed her arms and said...

“That’s right.” Albert looked at him, stood up and said, “Zachry Lyman, an American biotechnology expert and professor at MIT.”

"Backed by a large number of financial giants, and recently, with the support of the United Nations, his drone armor has been promoted all over the world."

"The drone mech was originally something that wouldn't appear until 2035, but its appearance now proves that this thing is one of the outsiders."

According to the original historical trajectory, the drone A will not be developed until 2035 by an organization called the Shaw Group, and Dr. Newton is also deeply involved in the project.

"The drone mechs are completely different from our mechs. They are manufactured using monster body tissues. Their appearance at this point in time means that the guy may have used even more monster body tissues."

Albert said, frowning.

"I suspect that the scythe-headed creature that attacked the Shattered Dome base was one of their creations, but its internal programs were deliberately destroyed in the end, so there is no direct evidence."

Hearing this, Xia Shu shook her head.

"No need for that."

“Tell me where that guy is, and I’ll go talk to him myself.”

Face-to-face confrontation is the fastest way to determine the other party's identity.

Once we can confirm that the other party is a time traveler and not an ordinary human, things will be much easier.

“But that’s the problem now,” Albert said.

"The other party was very cautious and did not reveal their location to the outside world. They even used video recordings for news interviews."

When time travelers are on a mission, they will not easily reveal their identity and location unless they are absolutely certain of success.

Because they are in competition with each other.

"The only thing we can be sure of right now is that his drone armor is already en route."

“Once all his mechs are in place, he’ll probably reveal his true colors,” Albert analyzed. “And some of the unmanned mechs are already in place.”

He speculated that Lyman's next goal was to use a large number of drones to destroy major hubs in various countries.

Although the military has control of these mechs, Lyman will definitely leave himself a backdoor.

If we exclude top-tier combatants like Natsuki, the remaining human armed forces are indeed insufficient to stop the enemy; at most, they can resort to a method of exchanging wounds for wounds, resulting in mutual destruction.

Marshal Steker, who had been standing by the window, suddenly sighed.

“I thought that once the gap was closed, it would all be over.”

The Pacific Ocean is unusually calm today.

He had fantasized countless times about the scenario of his plan succeeding, but he never thought that he would still face new challenges after success.

"I really can't imagine what kind of beings you outsiders are, or what kind of organization you are backing."

The situation was unusual, and Albert informed Marshal Stark that he was a time traveler.

Even now, Marshal Strick is still in shock.

A time traveler... the fate of the world... spacetime energy... Ultraman investigating this matter... any one of these would be enough to severely impact his worldview.

He knew he had been drawn into a much larger vortex.

No... all of humanity has been drawn into an even bigger vortex.

"Marshal, I know all of this is difficult for you to understand."

"But now, at least believe me that Mr. Natsuki and I are on your side."

“Facts are always more convincing than words,” Albert said earnestly.

Together they faced the pioneers, fought their way into the breach, and triumphed—this is a fact that has already been accomplished.

They will face what comes next together.

“I know.” Marshal Stark looked at him and nodded.

However, a lingering sense of gravity remained between his brows.

“I expressed my opposition to Zachary Lyman when he first proposed the drone mech plan.”

"But I never expected things to get so complicated."

“He is currently receiving funding and protection from the United Nations. If we rashly stop his actions at this time, we will be making an enemy of the United Nations.”

This incident is different from the monster incident.

They were not facing powerful monsters, but people.

"Moreover, our mechs also suffered considerable damage in the last battle."

"The only mechs still capable of fighting are Crimson Storm and Gipsy Danger," Marshal Stark said, frowning.

The Cherno Alpha lost both arms and its outer armor was severely damaged, while the Eureka Raider was directly killed inside the breach.

The Shaolin warrior that Natsuki brought back was also missing an arm, and its outer armor was also damaged to a considerable extent in the aftermath of the battle.

"Two mechs are simply no match for fifty mechs."

Their current situation is also very difficult.

Moreover, they currently lack a legitimate reason to stop Lyman.

Having just dealt with the monsters, the fact that they now had to turn their attention to humanity was something that the already exhausted Marshal Stark was finding hard to adjust to.

The conflicts between people are far more complex than the conflicts between people and monsters.

"It's ok."

At this moment, Xia Shu looked at him and said seriously.

He can't hide it.

"All you need to do is get his position from the United Nations, and leave the rest to me."

"A fox can never hide its tail."

Since Lyman is a time traveler, Xia Shu has countless ways to make him reveal his true colors.

Can you hide forever if you can hide for a while?

Even if he took extreme measures, such as traveling all over the world, it wouldn't take Natsuki long.

"Or... let me go and meet with the high-ranking officials at the United Nations first."

Currently, most people on Earth are unaware that it was a giant who truly destroyed the breach.

Lyman probably thought he had been very cautious.

But he could never have imagined what kind of force was currently investigating him.

As for how to identify Lyman, the experienced Natsuki has countless methods.
