Ultraman: He captures EyeQ at the start, a righteous and fun-loving man.

Within the phase space, Mitsuhiko Ishihori smiled.

"That light is growing faster than expected. It seems that the next suitable candidate is not far away."

However, a sinister look quickly appeared on his face.

"That guy is still causing trouble. Although we still have enough alien beast factors, the Night Raid team is constantly eliminating small alien beasts."

"If this continues, I'm afraid my fighting strength will dwindle."

"What's more... there's that guy too."

Compared to the two Ultramen, he was more wary of Dark Lugiel.

Dark Zagi wasn't foolish enough to believe in his alliance; he was absolutely certain that Zagi thought the same way he did.

Devour the opponent!

And since the alien beasts were his guarantee of combat power, he couldn't help but look at a huge flower beside him.

"Lefreya's power is still not enough. It seems that we still have to use his power."

He took out a doll from his bosom. The doll was covered with mushrooms and mycelium, and its body was covered with mycelium roots.

A sinister smile appeared on Mitsuhiko Ishiguro's face.

"The internet is a good thing, but it's also the best way to spread fear."

Insert the dark virtual spark that Lugiel once again gave him into the soles of the doll's feet.

"Darkness materializes, Fogas!"

He flung the dark red ball of light at Lefria, and as the black mist dissipated, a brand new monster appeared before him.

The flower buds have opened, and inside they are covered with dense clusters of mushrooms. From a distance, they look like a mouth full of teeth, but up close they resemble pustules.

Its robust body is covered with mycelium, and the edges of its mushroom-like body are covered with serrated edges, just like a pepper tree.

Mitsuhiko Ishiguro smiled with satisfaction.

Spread fear, Lefreya Netwer!

Has anyone noticed the pattern in my naming habits?

Chapter 147 Riko Joins the Night Raid Team

a few days later.

Inside the Night Raid team's base, Riko Saida had completed her examination, and all the data indicated that she was still human, except for two unusual aspects.

The first requirement for joining the Night Raid Team is a minimum R7 factor concentration of 90, and Riko Saita happens to meet this requirement.

The second point is her physique, which has reached the physical fitness level of the Night Raid team members. According to Riko Saida herself, she is usually engrossed in painting and doesn't exercise much.

Everyone roughly understood that it was probably Yu Ze who had made his move after the mysterious person took action.

Kazuki Komon was very happy. He had wanted to meet the physical fitness standards, but he had been trained for a long time by the vice-captain, in addition to the physical fitness of the rescue personnel, before he could join the Night Raid Team.

He is genuinely happy that his girlfriend doesn't have to endure the hardships of exercise.

Looking at the information in front of him, Captain Kazukura, after reporting to his superiors, ultimately decided to extend an invitation to Riko Saita.

"Sigh, I'm joining the Night Raid team?"

Riko Saito pointed to herself in disbelief. This high-class team didn't seem like something an ordinary painter like herself could join.

Gu Men also said anxiously.

"Captain, this job is too dangerous for Riko!"

Captain Kagura stopped Komon from speaking and explained his reasons.

"Riko's R7 factor concentration is extremely rare among humans, and she is an isolated individual..."

He took a deep breath and said.

“She’s already been targeted by Gou Lümu once. If she stays with the Night Raid Team, she might be safer.”

Komon Kazuki remained silent, knowing that being targeted by Goroki was far more dangerous than fighting alien beasts.

However, he really didn't want Riko to do such a dangerous thing, but he couldn't refute the captain's words. He anxiously wanted to say something but couldn't, and his face turned red.

Just then, he felt his hand being held. Looking at Riko beside him, Kazuki Komon's heart gradually calmed down.

Riko Saida leaned against Kazuki Komon and spoke slowly but firmly.

"Okay, I'll join."

Just as Kazuki Komon was about to say something more anxiously, Riko Saida interrupted him and said gently.

"My family has already died because of the alien beasts, so I don't want Komon-kun to leave me because of them as well."

"If I join the Night Raid Team, I can also protect Komon-kun. And if Komon-kun also..."

At this point, Riko's voice choked slightly.

"If Komon-kun also sacrifices himself, I will not live on alone!"

Kazuki Komon hugged Riko Saida tightly and said firmly.

"I will definitely live. We haven't even had our wedding yet!!"

Captain Hecang smiled as he watched them. Although they had just witnessed a display of affection, for people like them who worked in the shadows, it was a scene they could only dream of.

"So, Riko Saito, your role in the Night Raid team is that of an analyst. You will be receiving several months of training, so remember to be prepared."

Upon hearing the captain's words, Kazuki Komon couldn't help but think of the analyst from before.

Shaking his head, Kazuki Komon watched Riko leave and reluctantly returned to his dormitory.

...........................

Outside the dam above the Night Raid team, Mitsuhiko Ishiguro stared coldly at the Night Raid team's base below, a strange smile playing on his lips.

"Visitors, the barrier you have erected is indeed very powerful. Even I couldn't break through it before, but..."

After several days of tireless effort, he finally managed to drill a small hole.

However, he came here not to attack anyone, nor for the River of Oblivion, but out of fear.

Due to the barrier erected by Rega in the universe, one of the channels through which the alien beast factors were replenished was directly cut off.

Actually, this wasn't a big deal, since the fear of so many people on Earth was enough to cause the alien beast factor to multiply, but the locals couldn't possibly let the alien beast run rampant.

This is not out of any sudden act of kindness, but rather concerns two crucial conditions for the resurrection of the people.

The darkness of the River of Oblivion and the light of Nexus.

Once the alien beasts proliferate, Nexus will be overwhelmed, and the speed of light transmission will greatly accelerate.

Zagi has already chosen a second candidate. He has already given up on Saijo Nagi, so he also needs to ensure that the light is passed on in an orderly manner and that it is neither too strong nor too weak when it is passed on to the person he has chosen.

Otherwise, the light would jump from one person to another, and when it reached the person he chose, it would either be too strong for Zagi to control, or too weak to revive him.

As for the probability of that one in ten thousand rays of light being exactly the right intensity, Zaki was unwilling to gamble on it.

The light can be quickly passed on to the visitor's planet, but on Earth it is related to Zagi's resurrection, so he must control the intensity of the alien beasts.

However, the alien beast factor has now entered a period of negative growth. The two beams of light will quickly eliminate alien beasts the moment they sense them, resulting in almost no fear causing alien beasts to multiply during this period.

As for why the alien beasts shouldn't be allowed to conserve their energy, at least to prevent the generation of smaller alien beasts that could be used to sabotage the beast heads, there's nothing Zagi can do about it.

He can make the alien beasts obedient, even send them to their deaths, but he cannot control the underlying logic of their creation.

Assimilation of life — fear of predation — gene proliferation — assimilation of life...

Even Zagi couldn't control the instinctive behavior of this alien beast factor; it's impossible for a gene to understand what it means to conserve energy.

After much deliberation, Mitsuhiko Ishiguro came up with the idea of ​​using the internet to spread fear in order to replenish the alien beast factor.

Zagi's plan was to use Leviathan Netwer's power to sever the network around Tokyo and spread information about the Alien Beasts to cause panic.

As for why it wasn't simply spread globally, that involves another condition.

The darkness within the River of Oblivion.

In fact, the darkness within the River of Oblivion is also under Zagi's control, and it needs to grow in sync with the light of Nexus.

If global panic is triggered too early and the darkness within the River of Oblivion grows too rapidly, then the River of Oblivion may burst before Nexus's light fully matures.

When all the fear returns to humanity's mind, Zagi will be unable to absorb it, and his resurrection will be in vain.

In other words, Dark Zagi has to micromanage all of this. The only advantage is that the other side also knows the importance of the River of Oblivion and will not destroy it.

A mushroom appeared in his hand, and using a small hole he had made in the barrier, he teleported it into the Night Raid team's base. Ishiguro Mitsuhiko revealed a satisfied smile.

"The highest level of network access is at the Night Raid base in order to monitor Japan, so let me take advantage of it."

The mushroom that entered the base wriggled, grew hands and feet and a ferocious mouth, and stealthily moved towards the server room.

Chapter 148 Network

Taking advantage of its small size, the mushroom-shaped creature stealthily made its way through surveillance and patrol personnel to the server room.

Once inside the computer, this offspring split into countless hyphae, which entangled themselves in the computer's internal circuitry and began to infiltrate it.

Inside the analysis room, Kira Sawa covered his head.

He suddenly couldn't see the future. Although this had happened before when the mysterious man appeared, it was a change caused by the insertion of a variable.

But now it seems like someone has blocked him out; in today's world, he's probably the only one with that ability.

"Zaki, have you started your operation yet...?"

Suddenly, the data on the screen started to show garbled characters. Kira Sawa looked at the screen in disbelief and exclaimed.

"How is that possible? With the technology of the visitor, how could the Night Raid team's network be attacked?"

While issuing the order to assemble, Kira Sawa began to retaliate against the other side.

Strangely, no matter how he retaliated, his opponent always managed to launch a counterattack quickly, with each attack becoming more intense than the last.
