Ultraman: He was bestowed a treasure by the King of Ultra at the start of the game.

(Happy Qixi Festival, dear readers!)

Dr. Tango left the laboratory and arrived at the gate of the base, where he met Makio Kirino.

However, the guards on duty would not allow Dr. Tango to leave the base, so their meeting was like a prison visit.

"Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?" Dr. Dango adjusted his glasses and leaned against the door.

Kirino Makio didn't speak immediately, but instead looked towards the sea. As a psychic, his perception of darkness was extremely sensitive.

"The final crisis is coming, and humanity needs Masaki Keigo's wisdom." Kirino Makio's lips curled into a smile. "And I can make Masaki Keigo's wisdom shine."

Dr. Dango's eyes narrowed. Did he have a way to fight against the final darkness?

"I believe that with your position, if you report to your superiors that you have a solution to the ultimate darkness, you should have a chance to meet with the higher-ups."

"I need your help, which is to act as a stepping stone for me to meet TPC."

Dr. Tango wasn't exactly a saint, but he wasn't a villain either. He agreed to Kirino Makio's request without much hesitation.

If an ordinary person said this to him, he would think about it for a long time, but it's different for someone with superpowers.

"I'll contact them right away. Wait for me here." With that, Dr. Dango turned and went inside.

Kirino Makoto nodded.

Now that this is the time, what sacrifices are you Ultraman making for humanity?

……

Inside the Victory team's command center, Nori was chugging coffee while keeping his eyes glued to the screen in front of him.

With his mind highly focused, he seemed completely unaware of fatigue. Now that the Earth had entered a dangerous period, he felt it was his responsibility to keep working.

"Ye Rui, haven't you rested?" Zhao Tianyi couldn't sleep and came to the command room, where only Ye Rui was.

In the pitch-black environment, only the screen in front of Ye Rui emitted light.

Surprisingly, the youngest member of the Victory Team showed no fear of the dark environment or loneliness.

Megumi told him that she could use a program she designed to monitor him at night, but he stubbornly refused to leave.

On the surface, he would rest when it was time, but he would secretly sneak back in after Izayoi was no longer in the command room.

Ye Rui lowered his head, his eyes were a little dry as he looked at the screen, and his mouth slowly opened.

"When I'm on a mission and fighting monsters and aliens head-on, I'm usually in this command room."

"My teammates have gone through all sorts of life-or-death crises. No matter how dangerous the situation, they always protected me and kept me out of danger."

"Right now, the most important task is on my shoulders, so of course, I have to give it my all!"

Ye Rui looked up at Zhao Tianyi and smiled brightly.

Zhao Tian nodded, sat down next to Ye Rui, and looked at the screen, but he couldn't understand it at all.

However, this did not prevent him from spending time with Ye Rui.

"Yes, Ye Rui, we all need you right now, please keep going."

Zhao Tianyi placed his hand on Ye Rui's head and used gentle light energy to dispel Ye Rui's fatigue and reduce the damage to his brain.

He's not a professional wet nurse; this is all he can do.

However, persuading Ye Rui to rest would be useless; this seemingly immature boy's beliefs were unbreakable.

"Thanks." Ye Rui could feel Zhao Tianyi's help and did feel much better.

Suddenly, the entire screen turned red along all four edges and emitted a piercing alarm.

The black fog, which was originally being emitted at a low rate, suddenly increased in speed, and the billowing black fog, like thick smoke, polluted an unknown amount of sea around the R'lyeh ruins.

A powerful earthquake began to erupt on the seabed in that area, followed by the collapse of the ruins.

On the seabed, the sand and stone structures were mostly destroyed by the massive shockwave, revealing countless dark tunnels in the collapsed ruins.

Countless red pupils appeared, standing out starkly against the dark seabed.

A series of terrifying screeching sounds rang out.

They are the retinue of Gatanothor, the ancient vanguard monster Zoga.

Startled, Nori immediately pressed the alarm button and, with prior authorization from Iruma Megumi, remotely activated the barrier devices surrounding the R'lyeh Ruins.

On the sea surface, thirty-two energy link devices formed a huge circular barrier, covering the entire sea area like a cage.

This device was installed in advance based on Zhao Tianyi's suggestion. Although it cannot block the black mist and will be passed directly through by it, it is specially designed so that it will not be damaged by the black mist.

The purpose was to intercept the newcomer for a period of time, giving humans enough time to react and allowing civilians to take cover in advance.

The fundamental goal is to reduce casualties, and we never thought that these barriers could stop Gatanjee; that's impossible.

Reducing casualties also means more hope, which is a reasonable and necessary measure.

Zhao Tianyi's plan was quite meticulous.

The alarm sounded, alerting the entire base.

Staff from various departments proceeded to the area where the Atlas was located, following prior instructions.

While practicing driving Guwamu in his dream, Xincheng suddenly woke up from his bed and rolled onto the ground.

There wasn't even time to cry out in pain. Under these circumstances, the alarm absolutely cannot be delayed by anyone, not even for a millisecond.

The members of the Victory Team quickly dressed and rushed into the command room.

"Yorui, what's going on?" Kijima Megumi's expression was more serious than ever before.

"Captain, the black fog of Gatanothor has already polluted half of the Pacific Ocean, and the Zoga swarm has begun to breach the barrier."

Ye Rui brought up the screen and moved it to the big screen.

This barrier device utilizes 80% of the world's current energy storage capacity. The reason it doesn't use 100% is because it still needs to broadcast live from the scene and provide heating and electricity to the shelters.

"How long can the barrier hold out?" Zong Fang asked.

Ye Rui worked on the computer for a while, then looked up at everyone.

"Based on the results, it can conservatively last for about 16 hours."

Kijima Megumi frowned deeply; despite using so much energy, she couldn't even last a day.

no solution anymore.

"Time is tight, everyone must get moving!"

"Lina, Horii, board the Atlas immediately and take all personnel from the base away."

With Zhao Tianyi's prior notice, everyone knew that the base's defenses could not stop Gatanothor's black mist.

As for Tetsuji Yoshioka, who shouted "I will live and die with the base" after hearing the news.

He was knocked unconscious by Zhao Tianyi, so they could just pick him up and leave.

"New City, drive the Guwamu into the outer defense zone of Tokyo, and guide and lead the members of the Guwamu Imitation Group's Tokyo branch to form a resistance position against Zoga."

The Guwamu Imitation Corps consisted of combat personnel who piloted hastily produced, castrated versions of the Guwamu.

The emasculated version of Guvamu is much smaller than the original Guvamu and has inferior weaponry, but it is still equipped with a Draco cannon, which is sufficient to deal with smaller Zoga.

Teams have been established all over the world and are the vanguard forces scheduled to resist Zorgia.

"Ye Rui immediately prepared to retreat with the terminal brain."

To facilitate joint command and control in combat, a small, multi-purpose terminal brain was developed. It is about the size of a suitcase and has information reception and transmission capabilities that are difficult to interfere with.

At that time, Nozue will take control, while Iruma Megumi will send real-time commands from the side.

"Zongfang, immediately lead the newly formed secret force into various shelters to carry out top-secret missions."

The secret unit was also established at Zhao Tianyi's suggestion, and due to the special nature of its mission, it was even granted great wartime privileges.

After making the arrangements, Kijima Megumi breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he looked at Zhao Tianyi and Da Gu, his gaze softening.

"Finally, Daigo and Zhao Tianyi!"

"Please, you must live."
