Chapter 116

"Whoosh!"

【Ligatron】 fell straight down, dropping into the sea next to the high-purity energy reserve base.

The earth shook, and water splashed.

Members of the high-purity energy reserve base discussed this one after another.

"What is that?"

"Seems like a monster!"

The next moment, 【Ligatron】 stood up, with a metallic body, sharp claws, and even some Sphere characteristics on its head.

It walked toward the high-purity energy reserve base, wanting to absorb the energy inside.

"Sure enough, it's Ligatron. This thing really looks like a 'Sphere Synthetic Beast'." Qi Ming, sitting on Victory Feiyan 2, pondered.

Saijo Nagi: "Listen up, we'll circle to the front of this guy in a moment and attack at the same time."

Soldier Shan Zhong: "Understood."

Aoki Jishu: "Understood."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" "Bang, bang, bang!" After a round of hits, even though they hit the joints, they still couldn't cause effective damage to Ligatron.

Soldier Shan Zhong exclaimed: "Such strong defense!"

Qi Ming thought to himself that it's normal; this thing beat Tiga in the original series.

Seeing Ligatron use its sharp claws to tear open something similar to a nuclear power plant and start absorbing the energy inside.

Blue streamers filled its arms, and 【Ligatron】 trembled all over; it looked like it was high on absorption.

The director ordered: "Immediately activate the defense control system 【DCS】."

The subordinate nodded: "Yes! Activation complete!"

Ligatron was suddenly shrouded in high-voltage current.

Just when everyone thought 【Ligatron】 was trapped, a light flashed in its eyes, and the powerful current disappeared instantly.

"Not good, the DCS defense system has malfunctioned!"

"Because of interference from external commands, the entire system's functions have stopped!"

The director was shocked: "What!"

【Ligatron】 became even more rampant, absorbing several more energy canisters, becoming more and more fierce.

Aoki Jishu couldn't believe it: "How could this happen? Why did the defense system fail!"

Qi Ming: "The developer must have left a backdoor in the defense system."

Emi's face changed: "The developer of the DCS defense system is... Dr. Jiang Qi, who went missing with Jupiter 3!"

Saijo Nagi turned to look at Qi Ming: "Do you have relevant information?"

Qi Ming pondered for a moment, picking out the important content from the original series to tell:

"This guy in front of us called Ligatron is a monster that became what it is after an unknown energy entity possessed 'Jupiter 3' and the crew inside, reading their emotions and knowledge."

"So it possesses Dr. Jiang Qi's memories and can bypass the DCS system, but this is also its flaw."

"As long as you send photos of the three crew members' families to the computer of 'Jupiter 3', you can make the self-consciousness of the three crew members wake up."

"They will take away Ligatron's internal energy, leaving it in an empty shell state."

"At that time, even Victory Feiyan 2 can destroy it."

Other officers were shocked on the spot after hearing this.

Emi: "To think there's such a thing!"

Aoki Jishu: "Were they forcibly devoured and fused?" It sounds terrifying just listening to it.

Now basically no one questioned Qi Ming; everyone expressed belief at the first opportunity.

Saijo Nagi made a prompt decision: "Rather than letting 【Ligatron】 use the knowledge of the three astronauts to destroy their hometown, it's better to let them be liberated. Emi, do as Qi Ming said."

For Saijo Nagi, defeating the monster is the most important thing.

Moroboshi Dan in the command room stopped them: "Wait, is there really no way to make them return to their original appearance? Their relatives and friends are still waiting for them to return."

This is Seven who loves humans.

The argument began. Qi Ming was sitting with Emi and Saijo Nagi, so he couldn't transform.

Soon, 【Ligatron】, having absorbed the energy, had white smoke coming from the vector thrusters behind it, taking it into the clouds in the sky, leaving the scene.

Everyone pacified the personnel at the energy base and headed home.

After returning to the sea base, Aoki Jishu analyzed the fragments that fell off Ligatron brought back from the scene.

His mood was heavy: "It indeed contains components of the Jupiter 3 airframe shell."

Emi, following the clues Qi Ming gave, found the message left by Dr. Jiang Qi in his personal computer.

He was attacked as Qi Ming said, and after being fused, his knowledge and abilities were utilized, with almost no time to realize he belonged to humanity.

"We hope that Earth will not suffer the tragedy of being destroyed by us."

After reading it, Moroboshi Dan called Qi Ming out again, asking if there was really no way?

Qi Ming shook his head: "I also feel sorry for their encounter. If I had the ability, I would want to save them too. But you know, Captain, Ultraman is by no means a god."

The three astronauts had completely merged with Ligatron. The physical body is one thing, but the soul...

Even Tiga's cell restoration beam wouldn't have any effect.

Early the next morning, Qi Ming came to the command room after breakfast and saw Emi with an awkward expression.

"What's wrong?"

Emi: "News from the Space Development Bureau says that the astronauts of Jupiter 3 appeared in front of their families last night. But Jupiter 3 had clearly already..."

Qi Ming: "It's the astronauts' consciousness using 【Ligatron】's ability to materialize, to make up for their regret of not being able to accompany their families."

Exactly the same as the content in the original series.

Moroboshi Dan, hearing this, asked seriously again, saying is there really no way?

Soldier Shan Zhong: "Forget it, Captain. There are too many accidents in space; we can only admit bad luck. Let's defeat them next time they appear using the method Qi Ming said."

Seeing him bubble up, Qi Ming planned to ask in detail about the balloon boat he mentioned yesterday; he just felt it couldn't be ignored.

But the next moment, the emergency alarm sounded again.

"A monster has appeared in the coastal industrial zone of the bay and is moving toward the oil consortium. Please dispatch immediately!"

"Why are there monsters every day!" Everyone complained as they set off. After arriving at the location, they saw a monster that looked like a rooster.

Qi Ming immediately recognized the identity of the visitor. This is the ghost fire monster that appeared in both "Ultraman Jack" and "Ultraman Mebius"—【Fumiga】!

It is essentially a ghost fire-like energy entity, a cosmic monster that can only materialize by possessing a human body.

"Don't let it get close to the oil company!" Saijo Nagi took the initiative to launch an attack.

A green peak cannon shot hit Fumiga's shoulder area, and it screamed and disappeared.

"Did it escape?"

"What a baffling monster, it has no strategy at all."

The sharp-eyed Soldier Shan Zhong said: "Look, there's someone lying there where the monster disappeared."

Two Victory Feiyans landed, and everyone walked closer to see that it was a woman in a nurse's uniform who had fainted.

"I know her, she is Mayumi from the Medical Bureau."

"How did she get here? Was she scared unconscious by the monster?"

Qi Ming looked at the bleeding wound on Mayumi's shoulder, his face looking a bit ugly.
