Ultraman: Forced to become the Dark Boss

His mind stirred.

Melba immediately turned around and charged straight at the Divine Eagle fighter jet!

"Rage!!"

A powerful beam of light erupted from Melba's body and shot towards the Divine Eagle fighter jet in an instant!

Reacting quickly, Li Zhenna immediately made a tactical evasion maneuver. As she flipped the aircraft, she seemed to see someone on Melba.

"Huh?"

After maneuvering the fighter jet back to center, Li Mana doubted her own eyes.

"Boom!!"

A loud bang drew her attention again.

Just as they were forced to dodge Melba's attack, a white, crystalline beam of light, carrying a rainbow-like glow, pierced through the body of Jormungandr, who was gathering radioactive material in his abdomen and was preparing to fight to the death, from Galactus's chest!

The next second, Jormungandr's body stiffened and he quickly transformed into a gem statue!

"this..."

"What's going on?"

Under their watchful eyes, the gem statue of Jormungandr sank into the sea.

"Done. Come back, Galactron, and Jormungandr."

Hui Xia looked relaxed, but couldn't help but smile again when she thought of the new powerful card.

Having completed his mission, Galactron transformed into a beam of white light and vanished within the reappearing magic circle.

Jormungandr, which was gradually sinking to the bottom of the sea, also transformed into a green light and rushed into the sky.

Two beams of light appeared simultaneously in Huixia's hand, forming two cards, one white and one green.

Dark Spark: Takeoff from Wuhu!

"The defense force's fighter jet formation...it's time to retreat."

Hui Xia put away the card, seemingly sensing something, and looked to the other side.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Melba received the order and accelerated towards the other side of the coast.

Chapter 16 Silence and Encounter

UPC Riben Branch, Command Room.

The room was quiet, as if no one was there.

However, that was not the case. The four team members who returned safely, as well as Shunling who stayed behind, Ihara and Kojima who were in charge of command, and the secret book of the Imperial Secret were all there, but everyone was just keeping silent.

The reason for the silence was the shocking yet unbelievable scene that was being replayed on the big screen.

Galactron gathers power in mid-air, and a dazzling white light appears on his chest. There is a pause and a close-up here.

Then, a beam of light shot out from his chest, instantly piercing through Jormungandr's body on the sea surface.

The next second, Jormungandr transformed into a statue that looked like a jewel...

The Podence team members were focused, carefully replaying the recorded video repeatedly.

Noi had a cold expression, but his hands were clenched into fists, which showed that his emotions were also very unstable.

Even the usually cheerful and lively Muraka was now staring blankly at the table with her head down.

Li Zhenna seemed rather absent-minded, lost in thought.

The figure on Melba's body...

Could it be the mastermind behind the monsters?

Li Zhenna hesitated, wondering if she had misread it.

Everyone looked preoccupied.

After a long silence.

Commander Kojima irritably touched his head, which only had a few strands of hair left. Based on the message just sent from the North American headquarters, he said to everyone: "The newly appeared mechanical lifeforms are very likely to reappear, including the flying monsters that have already appeared twice. Furthermore, the analysis suggests that the flying monsters and mechanical lifeforms should belong to the same faction."

As for whether these two monsters are friends or enemies, we still need to understand them further. That's why we all need to stay alert!

Here's some news for you: the secret weapon developed by our research institute will soon be officially handed over to UPIC. You can look forward to it!

Sure enough, the news of the new weapon attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing his teammates cheer up again, Ihara, who had been looking worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Commander Kojima smiled with satisfaction: "You are all elites of UPIC, outstanding team members selected from countless top talents, and you bear a great responsibility."

That is why you should not be easily intimidated by difficulties and dangers.

We humans have endured countless hardships to get to where we are today, and our steps have never faltered. So cheer up, you are the most crucial line of defense!

The encouraging words were powerful and resonant. After drinking the bowl of chicken soup, the team members smiled easily again.

As a frontline combatant, witnessing such a powerful enemy firsthand, there is definitely pressure.

Fortunately, people are generally very resilient to pressure, and the UPIC team members are selected through a rigorous process, so they recover quickly.

"The H Ocean Base will need to strengthen its defenses and include this area in its daily patrol area. You will also be given half a day off and can return to the team tomorrow morning."

Finally, Ihara also brought good news with a smile.

After the intense battles came a pleasant but short vacation.

This is a special privilege that only UPIC can enjoy.

However, even during holidays, team members cannot go too far so that they can quickly return to the team in case of an emergency.

But it was a rare moment of comfort under such high pressure.

After the island commander finished speaking, he left with the secret imperial book. Needless to say, it was time for another press conference and numerous summit meetings.

However, this time the Riben branch still needs to explain and deal with the pilot who disobeyed orders, even though he has already perished at sea, they must still pursue the matter to the end.

...

Here, your milk tea.

Back at the coffee shop, I glanced at the time and realized that more than three hours had passed.

It has been quite a while indeed.

Fortunately, the shop wasn't busy, and Yoshimoto Sakura was a particularly capable girl, so Huixia didn't feel too guilty. After all, she often went out to buy snacks, and she would stay for the whole afternoon...

"Hmm, thank you, Hui Xia-kun~"

After spending a few days together, Huixia has been upgraded from "Sang" to "Jun".

The names used for the Riben in this world and the Riben in the previous world are not that different.

The commonly used ones are "桑", "酱", and "君". Among them, "桑" is a versatile term, roughly equivalent to "先生" and "女士" in Chinese.

"Sauce" refers to close relatives or friends, such as a younger sister calling her older brother, a husband calling his wife, or other familiar friends.

"君" is similar to "桑" but carries a more respectful tone and can also be used to express special emotions, such as Sakura calling Sasuke "kun" in Naruto...

So, have I now established a "friendly" relationship with the eldest daughter of the Yoshimoto family?

Hui Xia shrugged: "You're welcome, Sakura."

However, following Huixia's habit, he still called the other person by their name directly.

"The same as always, Sakura-chan."

A somewhat familiar voice, accompanied by the sound of a glass door being pushed open.

Hui Xia's lips twitched.

Turning around, sure enough, it was that woman again.

When Li Zhenna noticed the man in front of her, her pupils contracted slightly, but she casually found a seat and sat down.

"Okay, Mana-chan~"

Sakura noticed her friend's arrival and seemed very happy.

Even the amount of coffee given to the other person was noticeably larger.

Don't ask Huixia how he knew, because he was the one who brought it over.

That portion size, wow, is twice as much as others.

They even included a complimentary dessert…

Sakura, a spendthrift.

For some reason, Hui Xia always felt uncomfortable around this guy who seemed very aloof.

Fortunately, the other party didn't pay much attention to him this time.

Only after Huixia put down the last dessert did the woman finally speak, "Can we sit down and talk?"

At this moment, Mana was the only customer in the coffee shop.

So her voice reached Sakura's ears smoothly, as she was about to come over to catch up with her friend.

Sakura Yoshimoto's light steps came to an abrupt halt.

Am I right?

Is Mana-chan inviting a man?

Hmm, could it be that her spring is coming?

I think I'd better not go.

Sakura, intending to give the two of them some private space, quietly returned to the cashier and pretended to tidy up the counter as if nothing had happened, but her ears seemed to be twitching.

Like rabbit ears peeking out of the grass, you just want to grab them.

"Clam?"

Hui Xia was stunned for a moment.
