A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

Before netizens could even recover from the original video, they were stunned by these newly released bombshell revelations.

A video titled "[Top Secret Exposed! The Real Mastermind Behind Gatanothor's Arrival is Him!]" quickly topped the trending searches.

Countless netizens clicked on the video out of curiosity.

When the footage appeared, everyone was stunned.

The video still shows Gatanothor descending upon Sacred Water City.

The camera then shifts its focus to outer space.

Ultraman (Zoffy), wearing a row of medals on his chest, points at Earth and issues commands in an extremely authoritative voice.

Let that conch go to Earth and cause trouble, and pin all the blame for the destruction on humanity.

The comment section below instantly exploded.

"Holy crap! I knew things weren't that simple! The mastermind behind it all is actually that lord!"

"So that's the truth! That conch shell was sent by the Land of Light!"

"I knew Tiga couldn't possibly command an evil god, but if it were Captain Flamehead, it would be entirely possible."

Netizens haven't yet recovered from this extremely ridiculous "that person's plan".

In less than ten minutes, several more videos appeared on the trending search list.

This is even more outrageous.

A video titled "Twist! Lord Zoffy was framed!" suddenly appeared.

This time, the scene shifts to a sinister, otherworldly space.

A hunchbacked, narrow-eyed, and malevolent black Ultraman (Belial) is laughing maniacally.

Based on Belial's monologue, netizens learned that this was actually a series of shocking schemes orchestrated by Belial.

He first framed Zoffy, then used Zoffy to frame the Earthlings, sowing discord between the Land of Light and Earth!

"Holy crap, Belial was the real big boss!"

"I feel sorry for Lord Zoffy, he almost took the blame for someone else."

"Wait a minute, who is Belial? Ultraman can turn evil?"

"A nesting doll conspiracy theory, huh? I bet there'll be an even bigger mastermind in the next episode!"

Sure enough, a third episode followed immediately, titled "Twist! Belial Was Also Framed!"

In the scene, an elderly Ultraman with a white beard begins to explain his plan...

This nested conspiracy theory has left netizens completely baffled.

"Holy crap, there are so many plot twists!"

"I don't know who to trust anymore."

"So who exactly is behind this? Tiga? Zoffy? Belial? Or Tsuburaya Productions?"

"I choose to trust Tsuburaya Productions; after all, they're the ones who created these characters."

Qianyu leaned against a concrete pillar, looking at the comments, her shoulders twitching with laughter.

And this was just the beginning. He simply let himself go completely, letting his imagination run wild.

In the next half hour, hundreds of similar "exposé videos" appeared on the internet.

With the bombardment of Qianyu's series-style videos—abundant in quantity, full of plot twists and turns, and even a touch of tokusatsu nostalgia—the entire internet's pace was instantly swept to the heavens.

In contrast, Camilla's initial montage was quickly overshadowed by this massive and outrageous stream of information, barely making a ripple.

As conspiracy theory videos proliferated, netizens who were quick to jump to conclusions finally calmed down and began to realize the truth.

"Damn, that really scared me to death! I really thought that high school student was the mastermind!"

"Go back and watch that original leaked video now, it's full of holes!"

"Exactly! The editing is so clunky. First, the Giant of Light transforms, then he abruptly starts handing out cards. What about the story in between? We had to fill in the gaps with our own imaginations!"

The incident happened so suddenly that everyone was in a state of panic and didn't have time to carefully analyze the original video.

But now that there are so many high-quality videos of the same type for comparison, the fatal flaws of the original video have been exposed in an instant.

"The funniest thing is the perspective! What normal earthling would fly hundreds of meters in the air to shoot a short video from a God's-eye view? Even drones aren't that stable!"

"Blind student, you've spotted the key point! To be on the safe side, this is definitely a propaganda video deliberately produced by Tsuburaya Productions to evade allegations of compensation claims and create confusion!"

"If we're being realistic, this is clearly a conspiracy orchestrated by that alien! They're trying to sow discord between us and Ultraman!"

Compared to the high-quality videos presented by Qianyu, the original video's various fatal flaws were instantly exposed.

Public opinion has taken a complete 180-degree turn.

Chiyu scrolled through the comments section on the screen, satisfied.

Although the water had been thoroughly stirred up, he still felt it wasn't safe enough.

Simply covering it up with conspiracy theories cannot completely eliminate the doubts of some serious netizens.

To prevent some idiots from insisting on digging into the possibility of the original video's authenticity, Qianyu delivered the final blow.

"The best way to ruin a plan is to execute it 300%!"

Chapter 164 Michiyo's Efforts

This time, Qianyu didn't fabricate any cosmic conspiracy; he simply made a 1:1 accurate replica based on the original video released by Camilla.

The only difference is that the person who transforms into Ultraman Tiga in the video is no longer Kazama Chiba, but has been forcibly replaced with the faces of hundreds of different passersby, and even Asagiri Aya's face has been replaced with various girls.

These different videos were unleashed by the Ghost Legion on every corner of Twitter and various forums.

"Hahahaha, the way Shiki holds up the glow stick is so hilarious!"

"So that video was a face-swapping template! No wonder it looked so fake!"

With Qianyu's combined high quality and quantity of coverage, the original video was completely turned into a tired, overused joke.

Soon, no one cared anymore about who was transforming in the original video, nor did anyone delve into how those monsters came to be.

Netizens' memories are known to last only seven seconds.

As he wished, the name Kazama Chiba was quickly swallowed up by the information cocoon and soon forgotten by the netizens who were just watching the drama unfold.

The crisis is over.

Qianyu put away the illusion cards.

"A propaganda war?"

"You should sleep underwater for tens of thousands of years before you come online."

Let's turn our attention back to the school.

Michiyo Urushihara was standing in the middle of the crowd in the corridor, sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Please calm down! That video online is clearly a maliciously edited clip taken out of context!"

She looked like a desperate hamster (if hamsters had H-cup breasts).

"Chiyu is clearly a hero who saved us all! How can you slander him like this because of a video of dubious origin!"

The students watching whispered among themselves, their faces filled with doubt.

After all, that video that went viral online was just too explosive.

"Words are no proof, Urushihara-kun."

A boy wearing glasses in the crowd pushed up his glasses.

"You say it was malicious editing, do you have any evidence?"

Michi pulled out her video camera, which she had used to record everything during her trip, from her bag.

"Evidence? I have it right here!"

She held the camera above her head, her voice tinged with a hint of smugness.

"This is the complete video I filmed during my trip! It clearly shows how Chiba transforms into Ultraman Tiga and how she protects us! See for yourselves!"

As she spoke, she pressed play and turned the screen toward the crowd.

In the scene, silver light bursts forth, and a giant warrior of light descends from the sky, erecting a barrier to block the monster's attack.

The camera captured the students' terrified screams, Golba's freezing beam, and Tigana's battle stance.

The students watching were dumbfounded.

"this……"

"Holy crap, this image quality is incredible!"

"So, that guy Kazama is really Ultraman Tiga?"

Just when Michiyo thought she had turned Kazama's fortunes around.

"Wait a moment."

A boy with dyed yellow hair stepped out from the crowd, wearing an arrogant "I see through everything" expression.

"You think he's a hero just because you say so?"

"Since Kazama has the ability to turn people into monsters, what difficulty would it have been for him to manipulate things back then? Maybe that bus accident scene was also something he orchestrated himself to play the savior? The 'thief crying 'stop thief' tactic is something you see all the time in TV dramas."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Michiyo's eyebrows furrowed, and she took a step forward.

“I know Qianyu-kun’s character a hundred times better than you do! Although he has a sharp tongue and loves money, he would never do something as reckless as taking human lives!”

The blond-haired boy let out a mocking sneer.

"Urushihara-kun, what makes you so sure? Could it be that you're one of his accomplices too?"

Michiyo's chest heaved violently.

"I just don't want to see good people being slandered by such despicable means!"
