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

After all, Kazuki Komon also submitted information that Rei Senju was a third-generation candidate. After communicating with the Precognitive, Captain Kazukura learned a shocking fact.

"The monster's target has always been Ultraman; humans are merely tools on the side."

This message was also told to Kira Zeyu by Baiyue, because with the decisive battle at hand, one shouldn't be a riddle teller.

Now that the enemy's target and battlefield have been identified, and the higher-ups have approved the request, an evacuation order has been issued.

Faced with unwilling Tokyo citizens, the authorities displayed an unprecedented iron fist, forcibly enforcing orders against all those who disobeyed.

Qian Shulian hid in the forest, watching the head of the evacuation team and other staff members. She sighed softly, but when she turned her head, she bumped into someone.

Upon seeing this person, Senju Rei showed a look of surprise and delight.

"Yu, what brings you here?"

The newcomer was none other than Kira Sawa, who hadn't stepped out of the Night Raid Team's base for several years. A figure emerged from behind the tree, and Shiratsuki smiled and said.

"He asked me to bring him here. It seems you two haven't seen each other in a long time. You should catch up. I won't disturb you any longer."

Ignoring Bai Yue's departure, Kira Zeyou stepped forward and solemnly addressed Chiju Rei.

"Lian, give up the power of light. The next alien beast will be stronger than you can imagine. You won't be able to withstand it!"

Chishu Rei ignored the words about giving up the power of light, and instead moved closer to Kira Sawa, smiling slyly.

"Hey, Yu, are you worried about me? I remember back in school..."

"That's right, I just care about you. I don't want you to fight, I don't want you to die, because... you're my only friend!"

Kira Sawa suddenly interrupted him, speaking with an excited expression that Chiki Rei had never seen before.

Chiki Rei stared blankly at Kira Sawa, realizing that the other was serious.

However, Qian Shulian's expression turned serious as she said, "I didn't get to where I am now by playing house all along."

"It is precisely because we are friends that I must fight even harder!"

Kira Sawa Yuya was stunned.

"pity……"

"I can't believe it," Chishu Rei said firmly.

"Because of this light, I was able to find the meaning of my existence; because of this light, I was able to be recognized by everyone."

"Isn't it because of this light that we can talk here now?"

Kira Sawa shook his head and retorted.

“But Lian, you’ve done enough. Let this light go and find the next suitable candidate. Regard will teach him well, and…”

Chishu Rei interrupted him with a smile.

"If we arbitrarily place our hopes on others, humanity will not be able to move forward. No matter how reliable the object of our hopes may be, we still have to rely on ourselves in the end, don't we?"

He stepped forward and hugged Kira Sawa, speaking calmly.

"Yu, thank you for remembering me as your friend. If I really die in battle, you must, you must let everyone know that there is someone like Chiju Rei who has always protected them."

Chiki Rei looked at Kira Sawa, blinked, and gave him a warm smile.

"This is my only request as a friend..."

Chapter 190 Ultimate Alien Beast - Descent

Kira Zeyu watched Chiju Rei's departing figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He could not refuse Qian Shulian's request, neither in the past nor now.

Looking up at the sky, even though it was clear and sunny, there was an inexplicable sense of gloom, as if a storm was brewing.

"You must survive... Lian..."

Bai Yue arrived in Dallas-Fort Worth and entered the secluded research institute there.

Inside the underground factory, everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of the figure and looked at him warily. Some even started calling for security personnel.

Bai Yue watched them with great interest. The combination of genes from all over the world with the genes of superpowered individuals resulted in a situation where, although not many possessed superpowers, their intelligence and physical abilities easily surpassed those of humans.

As Bai Yue looked at the faces of different races before her, just as she was about to say something, Dr. Green stepped out.

Upon seeing Bai Yue, his heart skipped a beat. Looking at the security personnel who had surrounded him with guns, he was already considering whether he should get his heart checked.

"Don't do it! Don't do it!"

Having stopped the security personnel from acting, Dr. Green walked up to Bai Yue and asked nervously.

"Um, did you come here to check on Raphael's progress?"

Bai Yue scratched her head speechlessly.

"I'm saying... you don't need to be so afraid of me. I only take action when others deliberately cause trouble. These sons of Prometheus are unaware of this, and the security personnel are just doing their job. Why would I attack them?"

Dr. Green breathed a sigh of relief, quickly dispersed the Son of Prometheus and the security guards, and led Bai Yue to the factory's terminal control computer, where he spoke to him.

"Raphael is in the final debugging stage. We have artificially created some mice with genetic defects. After a long period of treatment, they can suppress their own cell growth through Raphael."

Bai Yue looked at the information on the screen. Although he couldn't understand it, he still asked the key question.

"In terms of genetic defects, there should be very few humans with this problem, so how can you guarantee that this drug can cure Qian Shulian?"

Dr. Green immediately understood Bai Yue's misunderstanding and explained.

"In fact, many people have genetic defects. For example, familial genetic diseases are a type of genetic defect, but the consequences of these genetic defects are not as severe as those of Qian Shulian."

"We have found Qian Shulian's genetic data, and those mice have the same genetic defect as him."

"The treatment of this disease is not something that can be done overnight. As long as we use this drug to stop the negative growth of cells, and combine it with our treatment to replenish Qian Shulian's own genes, we can cure it."

Bai Yue has captured a piece of information.

"Wait, so this medicine doesn't work instantly, but requires long-term treatment, right?"

Dr. Green said helplessly.

"Yes, rather than saying there is basically no medicine in this world that can cure an illness with just one dose, I hope you will send Qian Shulian back for treatment later."

Bai Yue realized she had fallen into a cognitive trap. Thinking about it, it made sense. In this era, there were no medicines that could cure diseases instantly like in science fiction movies. Cold medicines were only used to reduce the symptoms of illness. What truly cured diseases was the body's own immune system.

But now the situation is tricky. He originally didn't want Senju to participate in this battle, and wanted to wait until the genetic defect was cured before evolving Nexus Light.

However, this is clearly a long treatment process. If the light is not strengthened and passed down, even if I destroy Yizumeru, Zaki will continue to release alien beasts. At that time, humanity will never have peace.

Senju Rei, who has always held onto the light, could not stand idly by and watch tragedy after tragedy unfold, especially since it was all because of her own refusal to fight.

For Chishu Rei, letting innocent people suffer while she hides in a hospital bed is an impossible path.

"Damn it, this light hasn't reached its limit on Senju Rei yet, and it won't work to give it to others like Himeya Jun did."

Bai Yue understood that all escape routes had been blocked, and Qian Shulian had no choice but to fight this battle.

How much time is left for final debugging?

Dr. Green glanced at the screen and made an estimate.

"About... 10 hours..."

Bai Yue looked at the current time.

2:30 PM...

"Prepare the medication; I'll come pick it up after this is over."

Bai Yue hurriedly returned to Japan. Seeing Qian Shulian sitting alone in the studio, he walked up to her and said in a seemingly casual tone.

"Tomorrow is your birthday, so, is there anything you'd like as a gift?"

Qian Shulian roused herself and said.

"Brother Yue, didn't you say you were going to give me a big surprise? I've been looking forward to it ever since, so don't disappoint me tomorrow!"

Bai Yue looked at Qian Shulian and said with a smile.

"But I want to tell you in advance, Lian, starting tomorrow, your life will no longer be confined to the age of 18. You can live like a normal person."

Qian Shulian's expression froze, as if he couldn't believe his ears. He leaned closer to Bai Yue and said with a hint of disbelief.

"Brother Yue, what did you say? Can you say it again?"

Bai Yue calmly repeated each word.

“I asked the sons of Prometheus to create a medicine that can cure you: Raphael. You will have it tomorrow, and this is my birthday present to you.”

Qian Shulian stared at him blankly, not because of sadness, but because her mind was completely blank from being overwhelmed by joy.

"Really?"

Bai Yue stroked the boy's head and spoke softly.

"Really, so you must live on, Lian!"

He got up and walked out of the workshop. After a long while, a sound that seemed to be both laughter and crying came from inside. It was as if he was celebrating the continuation of a new life, or as if he was roaring in anger at the past ten years of anxiety and fear.

Bai Yue sat quietly outside the house. After a long while, Qian Shulian came out of the house wiping away his tears. He looked at Bai Yue and said with a smile but firm determination.

"I...I will definitely survive!"

Bai Yue patted his shoulder without saying anything.

Night, midnight, half an hour before Raphael finished his final adjustments.

Above the silent Tokyo sky, a pale green ripple swept across, and dark clouds gradually gathered. Amidst flashes of lightning, a massive figure shrouded in black mist descended from the sky.

Meanwhile, the sky was completely covered by dark clouds, and Tokyo, devoid of its usual vibrancy, was plunged into utter darkness. The reporters filming from the helicopters outside could only see colorful specks of light moving about.

Jun Himeya was also in the group of reporters; he returned immediately after receiving news of the Tokyo lockdown.

Feeling the suffocating atmosphere, Jun Himeya's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

"That's... the ultimate Alien Beast...?"

Chapter 191 Ultimate Alien Beast - Peak

Bai Yue and Qian Shulian gazed at the alien beast from afar. Bai Yue looked at the ultimate alien beast, which vaguely resembled the original Yi Zu Mai Ru. The silver armor on its body also confirmed her point of view.
