Moonlight team, are you awake?

"It might not be Ultraman Gaia. After all, quantum attacks aren't his specialty. Maybe some enemies can use them too?" I dream changed the subject.

"What you say makes sense... Actually, I have indeed considered the matter of guarding against Gaia." The Empress said in a deep voice, "The attack method of quantum streams is to bombard the opponent with high heat after a large number of quantum detonations. The strength of this attack lies in the fact that the attacking units are individual quanta that are so small that they are almost unobservable. When bombarded by so many quanta at the same time, it is difficult for anything to stop it."

"Including the Photon Ice Blade used by Gaia... That's what you named this thing before, right? Your name is fantastic, it perfectly matches the characteristics of that skill. The Photon Ice Blade uses even finer light quanta to attack, so its power is even more terrifying. Currently, almost no monster can withstand this kind of attack with its body."

"But you've come to the right person, because I happen to have in-depth knowledge of this stuff."

Dango gestured with her hands and said, "As a fellow physicist, I don't need to emphasize the concept of quantum entanglement to you. When I was studying quantum streamlines, I discovered that Gaia actually excites quanta in the same way every time it launches a quantum streamline. So if we can excite quanta in the opposite way, we can create a defense that can counteract quantum streamlines and even photon ice blades."

"We can actually do this?" Meng's eyes widened in surprise.

"Of course—it's impossible." Danhou smiled helplessly: "Current basic science does not support the realization of such a thing. It can only be kept as an idea. Moreover, we are currently only imitating Gaia's excitation method. What is actually emitted is not exactly the same as Gaia's. To achieve this goal, unless Gaia tells us all the details of quantum streamline emission, that is impossible."

"I see..." Meng suddenly understood.

Black King's customization features have a somewhat "I think" feel to them. It's like a person moving their own palm. Theoretically, this involves simultaneously driving hundreds of millions of cells and other substances to move, which seems like a very complex thing. But people don't need to understand such complex things at all. Moving their palm is just moving their palm, a very simple thing.

There's no need to make King Black understand quantum mechanics; just make him understand that he should do the opposite of how he emits energy, and he'll likely be able to do it.

Chapter Forty-Nine: The Power of My Thinking!

The Queen's insights have indeed benefited me greatly, and I am almost eager to test the feasibility of this plan with King Black.

"Dr. Tango, you are indeed a very talented person," I couldn't help but praise.

That short sentence instantly excited Dango, who had been calmly exchanging words: "As expected of the best in the Quantum Physics Research Lab at Jonan University, my teammate, you really understand me!"

“Uh…” I gave an awkward laugh.

Tango probably thought it was the original physics genius, Gamu, praising him, which gave him a sense of mutual respect between geniuses. But he probably never imagined that the person who had just praised him was actually just an ordinary university graduate...

However, Dr. Tango seems to be someone who desperately needs recognition. The only person in the original work who acknowledged his talent was Masaki Keigo, whom he didn't know at first. It was only after they had a long chat and he praised his talent that he dared to do something as risky as stealing the Ark of the Covenant from the TPC base, which contained fragments of the giant statues.

"Dr. Tango, there's something I don't understand. Why were you so rude to everyone at headquarters?"

After spending just half an hour together, I realized that Tango doesn't seem to have any hostility usually, but why was his attitude so bad at headquarters, especially towards Dr. Otomo and Horii?

Danhou looked me up and down with a strange expression: "Don't you understand? As a top genius, you should be able to understand our thoughts, right?

He pointed to the sky and said, "This world, the world in which we humans live, has been shrouded in the shadow of destruction ever since the space monster Bemular landed in 1966. Although we have survived one crisis after another without any real danger, no one can guarantee that we will be safe and sound in the future."

"Saving the world, saving this world on the verge of extinction, has been the shared and highest aspiration of every scholar and every capable person since 1966."

"I, Otomo, Horii, and you, and all scholars and scientists around the world, share the common goal of using our wisdom to find a solution that can completely save the world."

"On this path, we are both partners and competitors, because every moment there are countless solutions to save the world, but not all of these solutions can be implemented at the same time. In the end, only one solution can save the world."

"My plan is to replicate the power of the Giant of Light. I believe the Giant of Light has the power to save the world from destruction, but it would be too difficult for him to do it alone. If we have thousands upon thousands of Ultramen, would we still need to be afraid of monsters? No, it is the monsters who should be afraid of us!"

When he mentioned his plan, Dango's face was filled with confidence and anticipation. He seemed to have already envisioned a wonderful scene where thousands of Ultramen would use their beams together to wipe out the monsters.

As for Dr. Otomo's plan, it goes without saying that it is completely opposite to Tango's. Tango believes that the Giant of Light is the most powerful, while Dr. Otomo believes that the final king will be a monster with diverse and varied abilities. As long as we can combine the strengths of all kinds to create the ultimate and strongest monster, then we will no longer need to fear any monster, because humanity will already have the most terrifying monster.

Tango and Otomo, along with many other scientists and scholars who shared the same aspirations, were in a state where they both recognized each other's talents and firmly believed that their own solutions were the correct ones.

When the two of them argue, it's like they're talking to elementary school students.

"The Giant of Light will definitely annihilate the monster, absolutely annihilate it!"

"Second Hair!"

"A must-second!"

"Second Hair!"

"A must-second!"

...........

I couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat. I felt that these top scientists were a bit... well... how should I put it, a kind of intelligent yet not very intelligent feeling. Could it be that being so intelligent that one returns to simplicity?

He didn't say anything more, afraid that if he said too much, Dango would see through his disguise. The level of communication between the two was just right. Dango thought that Gamu was a very talented person and also highly regarded herself, so her favorability towards him greatly increased. Gamu had not yet revealed any flaws.

Tango was very happy to invite me to have lunch at the school cafeteria. Although it was a communal meal, the cook's skills had been honed over decades and were now superb. Moreover, because Tango was back today, the school had purchased the freshest and top-quality ingredients. The principal was practically ready to buy 5A Wagyu beef to make beef soup.

Amidst laughter and conversation, Dango, along with the elderly principal and a group of teachers, reminisced about the glorious past, sometimes laughing heartily, sometimes sighing with emotion. At the very end, when the conversation reached a touching moment, several old men almost broke down in tears with Dango.

At the end of the meal, the Queen made a very ambitious promise to them: "I will definitely not let you down. The crisis of this world will end in my generation. I will be the one to end the crisis!"

Although it might be a bit of a mood killer, I really want to say something: Dude, your ambition is certainly lofty, and your courage is certainly great, but in the Ultraman world, your research direction might end the world's crisis in a completely different way...

After finishing the meal, I exchanged a few pleasantries with Empress Dan and then hurriedly left.

He couldn't wait to test the plan to defend against quantum streamlines and photon ice blades.

After traversing the rugged mountain path, I dreamt of returning to the place where I had been training today. He took out a monster capsule, pressed the top of the capsule, and threw it out: "Come out, King Black, I choose you!"

With a flash of light, King Black appeared in mid-air, performed a perfect backflip, and landed with great confidence, hands on his hips.

“King Black, come, let’s try a new project now.” I whispered in his ear and told King Black about the plan that Queen Dan had told me.

King Black stretched out his little hand and touched his smooth, large golden horn. His tiny eyes were full of great doubt, as if to say, "Are you sure this will really work? Won't it just send me to the afterlife in one move?"

I saw its concern and patted it on the shoulder to comfort it, saying, "It's okay, I'll test it with the lowest power; it'll only get a little hot at most."

King Black reluctantly walked to the opposite side of my dream, got into a fighting stance, and prepared to block the attack.

In my dream, I took out the Sapphire Cone and transformed into Gaia. Just like in the morning, I charged up quantum streams with minimal power, while King Black, following his instructions, gathered light quanta in the opposite way and then condensed them in his palm.

A quantum streamer was fired, and Black King gritted his teeth and reached out to catch it. Unexpectedly, the quantum streamer that had previously burned him was now completely blocked by his bare hands, as if it had sunk into the sea.

"Success! As expected, monsters like King Black are indeed subject to the 'power of thought'!"

Chapter 50 Arjuros Descends

With this successful precedent, I Dream and Black King quickly began to increase the power of the beams, gradually adjusting them from the lowest power to the normal power, and eventually even being able to catch the beams at maximum power with their bare hands.

This is why King Black is undoubtedly an ally; if King Black were an enemy, I would be experiencing the same feeling that I had back then.

The specially modified Black King is indeed a terrifying opponent. If Black King becomes an enemy, I would be almost unable to defeat it. Even my best beam attack would be blocked by bare hands, and I would be completely outmatched in close combat.

It's hard to imagine how desperate Ultraman must have felt when he fought Black King under the setting sun. On one hand, the sun was setting and his energy was waning. On the other hand, Ultraman was one of the few Ultraman characters in the entire series who would become weaker after getting angry. Most people would become stronger after getting angry, but Ultraman would become weaker after getting angry.

On the other hand, after using all sorts of special skills and expending most of his energy, his opponent caught everything without taking a scratch. It's impossible to imagine how to win such a battle.

Only after becoming the human host can one truly understand the hardships faced by the human hosts of various Ultramen. For example, when I was kicked by Moss-Aja's big foot, I finally understood why Nako couldn't get up after being kicked once.

It hurts, it hurts too much!

After the special training was completed, I dreamed that I lay down and took a nap, afraid that the other party would appear when I was still exhausted after the special training. Meanwhile, Black King turned into a small dog and lay down next to him, helping him to drive away the small insects that flew or crawled around.

A stray dog ​​passing by glanced at my dream, and was glared at fiercely by King Black, which made it howl and run away in fright.

I had a dream while I was taking a nap, a rather ominous nightmare.

He dreamt that he was fighting Gaia, a metallic life form. When he landed, he was V1, while his opponent was V2.

I dreamt that a group of people were beating him up. As the fight went on, the metallic life form suddenly struck a familiar pose and transformed into its SV form, which terrified me so much that I broke out in a cold sweat and sat up abruptly.

"How could I have such a dream when I dreamt that Takayama Gayu lost to Superman Gaya?"

The dream I just had was truly upside down. The normal course of events was for V2 Gaia to unleash SV and annihilate V1 fake Gaia, but in my dream, it was the opposite.

Black King took a tissue out of my dream's pocket and carefully came over to wipe his sweat. As I breathed a sigh of relief, I also understood why I had dreamed of such a thing.

Now he is facing two, or even three, fake Gaias.

The first is the mechanical Gaia, which was abducted by the Destruction Bringer; the second is the metal lifeform Arturos; and the third is the metal lifeform Mimos.

If we're talking about the original work, none of these three are a match for our side right now. But Gamu's situation has never been normal. It's common for her to be possessed by Sphia or to receive a buff due to other reasons such as fusion or resentment. That's why Gamu has this worry.

But now that things have come to this, we can only deal with whatever comes our way. At least on my side, we have Black King and Zetton, two cards that can counter Ultraman, so the situation can't get too bad.

A few minutes after I woke up, Captain Megumi called out to me through the communicator: "Team member Iwamu, a metallic flying object similar to the one last time has appeared in the Hokkaido area. Please return to the team immediately."

"A metal flying object... it must be Arturos." I thought the first one to roll off the production line would be the mechanical Gaia, but Arturos came first.

"Let's go, Black King." I dreamt of putting Black King away with a capsule, then took out the Sapphire Cone, transformed, and flew towards the Hokkaido region.

The check-in process at the defense team was the same as before, completed by Photon. She disguised herself as Imu and went to the base to check in as quickly as possible, and then boarded a fighter jet with everyone to fly to the target location.

After boarding, Photon skillfully switched the fighter jet to pilot mode using Pal, then took out his phone and started a live stream.

The audience, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed in all at once:

[A Good Brother from Planet]: "I thought something had happened to the streamer since he hasn't been streaming for so long."

[Likes Oolong Tea]: "Hmm, I feel strange not streaming for a few hours. Has the streaming intensity decreased recently?"

【Aile Wang Saigao】: "According to past practice, he may be holding back a big one."

【Devil Gentleman】: "No rush, the streamer should be on site soon, then we'll know what's going on."

According to a message from Delta Force, four autonomously flying metal pillars suddenly appeared outside the atmosphere a few minutes ago. Because they appeared suddenly outside the atmosphere, Delta Force was unable to intercept them and could only report the message to the ground base as quickly as possible.

As he piloted his fighter jet, Shinjo complained, "These guys have gotten smarter now. They know to avoid Delta Force. They're a real handful."

Because a large number of extraterrestrial monsters have descended to Earth from outer space over the past few decades, people on the ground have invested heavily in building the Delta Force, which is equipped with a large amount of heavy firepower. Most of the monsters from outer space can be intercepted.

In the more than 20 years since its establishment, Delta Space Station has eliminated extraterrestrial visitors such as the cosmic insect Daiolis, the comet monster Dorako, the cosmic demon Balishib, and the cosmic steel dragon Guwamu, achieving a remarkable record.

However, as the attacking enemies grew stronger, Delta Station seemed to be running out of resources. In addition to enemies like the Destruction Bringer that teleported directly to Earth or outside the atmosphere via wormholes, there were also creatures like Bazanga and the cosmic shark Zakira that managed to force their way through Delta Station.

"For us humans, this is a marathon that we must run even if we vomit blood. We must keep running until the enemy is completely wiped out, even if we have to vomit bile. Once we stop, death is all that awaits us," Yamanaka replied in a heavy tone.

"Alright, let's not talk about such heavy topics. Looking too far ahead can lead to depression, which is not good for frontline soldiers. We just need to focus on each battle in front of us." Vice Captain Saijo Nagi promptly reassured the team members.

After calming themselves down, the group piloted their fighter jets to the site where the metallic lifeforms had landed.

Like Apatee, Argyros can transform into a giant, needle-like metal pillar to fly. However, Argyros's stats are clearly superior to Apatee's. After only a few rounds of fighting, Argyros forced Agul, who was known for his physical defense, to his knees, and even injured his human form.

It was unexpectedly quiet at this moment, standing motionless like four real pillars planted in the ground.

“It feels like it’s waiting for something,” Goroki suddenly said.

"Wait?" Saijo Nagi didn't understand why he suddenly said that.

"I guess it's just my intuition. Although there's no evidence, my intuition tells me it's waiting for something crucial." Goroki's voice was serious, clearly not joking.

Just as everyone was wondering, Gaia, who had transformed into Gaia, flew over from afar. The four metal pillars immediately reacted. The originally cold and sharp metal pillars suddenly melted like melted chocolate and then reformed into the shape of the metal life form Arjuros.

Its overall design is consistent with the original, except for the timer on its chest. Since the opponent is no longer Agul, it has changed from being the same as Agul's to being the same as Gaia's.

Seeing that Arjulos finally made a move, Goroki hesitated: "Was it waiting for Gaia because it didn't move just now?"

"Who else could it be? Look, it made a fuss as soon as Gaia arrived."

"I hope so." Gou Lümu had a bad feeling.

Chapter 51 Arturos - Phase Two

Arjuros seemed to be waiting for Gamu. As soon as it detected Gamu entering its attack range, it immediately switched to battle mode. Like Apate before it, it was dressed in Western armor, but its stats were much higher than Apate's.

Upon landing, I immediately threw out a monster capsule, summoning King Black.

He had absolutely no interest in a one-on-one fight with Argulos. Although Argulos eventually died at the hands of V1 Agul, that was an Agul V1 that had been enhanced twice by Ocean Light. An unenhanced Agul V1 would have been knocked down by Argulos in just two shots, and that was even with Argulos having relatively good physical defense.

What I was most worried about was the beam cannon on Argulus's right hand. I don't know if that thing has some special enhancement to specifically target human hosts. After Agul was hit, he knelt down, but at least the timer didn't flash, so it didn't seem like he had suffered any particularly serious injuries.

But then the scene shifts, and Fujimiya, in his human form, is walking with a limp, almost stumbling gait, which is rather terrifying.

Given my dream's current situation, if he were beaten like that, he probably wouldn't be able to participate in combat for a long time, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

I specifically told King Black to be careful of Arjuros's dual weapons. His left hand can transform into a large sword, and his right hand can transform into a beam cannon. Moreover, like Zebub, the Destroyer who appears later, this guy can use a backhand slashing technique, except that his backhand slash does not deal as much damage as Zebub's.

Arjulos seemed to have also studied the lineups on Earth, and compared to my dream, it was now focusing more on King Black.

After a brief standoff, Arjulos chose to make the first move. Instead of revealing its secret of being able to transform its arms into weapons right away, it charged forward from the front, seemingly to deceive the two opponents and make them mistakenly believe that it was a plain-looking monster.

Unfortunately, Gaia, the intelligence expert, was standing opposite it, and I knew all of Gaia's moves perfectly well.

Arjulos took the initiative to rush forward and engage in close combat with King Black. As expected, he was suppressed after less than three rounds and was then thrown away by King Black with an over-the-shoulder throw.

Arturos was indeed no match for King Black in combat, but he charged in knowing this, all to lure the enemy in.

As a metallic life form, it is extremely difficult to kill, and it is unlikely to suffer fatal injuries in close combat. Therefore, both Apate and Aljulos tend to engage in close combat, feigning weakness to lure the opponent into a chase, and then counterattack.

After Arjulos was thrown away, King Black, unsurprisingly, stepped forward and chased after him. With his back to King Black, Arjulos secretly hid his left arm in front of him, transforming it into a metal longsword, waiting for King Black to rush behind him so he could turn around and strike with his sword.

When its electronic brain calculated that King Black had reached the right distance, Arjulos turned around and thrust with the predicted posture and force. Logically, this should have at least seriously injured King Black. However, to its surprise, King Black seemed to have anticipated this and predicted its move in advance. Not only did it easily dodge the thrust, but it also punched Arjulos directly in the face with a backhand punch.

Because King Black's actions completely caught Arjuros off guard, its electronic brain momentarily crashed, allowing King Black to grab it and deliver several sets of fighting techniques while it was in a stun state.
