Chapter 206: 202 First Battle Is the Decisive Battle, One Battle Determines Heaven and Earth!

Three days later, Tama Hills.

Masaki Kengo arrived in this wasteland, his expression grim, wearing the look of "success or death."

A year ago, while his Subterranean Shark was searching underground for statues, it passed through here and discovered a kaiju sleeping below.

Now, it was time for it to act.

"Once the kaiju appears, the Victory Team will definitely rush over."

Before this, Masaki Kengo had used the Alchemy Star's photonic quantum computer, Crisis, to run a prediction.

The results showed that if the premise—that humans can transform into Ultramen—is valid, then someone within the Victory Team possesses this ability.

This outcome matched his expectations.

Ultraman always appears alongside the Victory Team's deployments; one instance is coincidence, but repeated occurrences are a pattern.

Among them, there must be something capable of converting a human body into light.

Seize this opportunity and take it!

"Hime, take this."

On the other side, Qi Ming handed Hime the classified documents he had obtained from the secret room of Director Zeng Zeng Genqi Company that night.

"What's this?" Hime took it and flipped through it; her gaze sharpened when she saw the marking 【V99】.

Qi Ming: "If I'm not mistaken, Hime, you've been investigating your missing father."

Hime was startled: "That's right—do you know something about it, Qi Ming?"

Qi Ming: "My information may not be entirely accurate, but I'm giving it to you as a reference. Given it concerns a loved one, you'd want to obtain solid evidence yourself, wouldn't you?"

Hime nodded—she had thought exactly that.

"The story begins in 1999 in this world."

"That year, a civilization known to Earth as 'V99' used wormhole technology to visit Earth in search of a new homeland."

"At the time, Yuji Tsuhashi believed they had come to invade and ordered their destruction."

"But your father, Aoki Juri, studying the wreckage of the destroyed V99 spacecraft, found no weapons onboard and concluded they had no hostile intent."

"Tsushashi concealed this information to protect his reputation and ordered your father to study the V99 shipwreck, reverse-engineering its technology."

"During an experiment using V99 technology to open a wormhole, the wormhole went out of control and swallowed your father."

After hearing this, Hime sat stunned for a long while—she never imagined things had unfolded this way.

Qi Ming added: "The Bazanji and Starfish that came to Earth last time were biological weapons sent by V99."

"Earth's actions frightened V99—they destroyed a spacecraft and tried to open a wormhole directly to their homeworld."

"To protect themselves, they chose to strike first."

Hime stared blankly: "So that's how it was."

"Beep-beep-beep."

The next moment, alarms blared; Moroboshi's voice came through the PDI communicator: "A kaiju has appeared in Tama Hills! Everyone, assemble in the command room!"

Only three days after the destruction of the Arbitration Civilization, another incident had occurred?

Qi Ming didn't think it was serious—if there was nothing unusual, Aizumi Makoto could handle it.

Upon arriving, the large screen showed a kaiju resembling a mole.

Qi Ming instantly recognized its origin—it was the subterranean kaiju 【Mogaton】 from Episode 48 of *Dyna*, "Planet Destruction Bomb!"

Originally a timid and gentle native kaiju, it had accidentally ingested a planet-destroying bomb brought by aliens; the bomb lodged in its throat, causing unbearable pain and driving it into a frenzy as it surfaced to rampage.

Correct—the planet-destroying bomb is the key point. That super-bomb, capable of annihilating Earth in an instant, is likely lodged in its throat.

Qi Ming felt a chill run down his scalp—this world was too dangerous, with hidden dangers everywhere.

Destroying an invading planet with the super-weapon R1? Long before that, aliens had already planned to do the same to Earth!

Nami Nishijo still didn't grasp the gravity of the situation; she thought it was just an ordinary kaiju and was asking Commander Moroboshi for authorization to deploy.

Qi Ming said gravely: "Don't act rashly. Hime and I will take Flyer One to the scene to assess the situation. Deputy Commander, under no circumstances should you act without orders."

Seeing Qi Ming—usually so calm—display such seriousness, Nishijo immediately realized this was no ordinary matter and agreed to his request.

………………………………

"Shhh!" "Shhh!"

Qi Ming and Hime's Flyer One, along with Yamada Kanda and Nishijo's Flyer Two, arrived at Tama Hills.

They saw Mogaton hadn't left the suburbs to destroy the city—it was merely jumping and thrashing in place, digging up soil and uprooting trees, as if overexcited and unable to contain its energy.

"Hime, get closer." As they neared, Qi Ming activated his 【See Through】 ability and stared intently.

Indeed, its throat contained something brimming with massive destructive particles.

It was the planet-destroying bomb!

Qi Ming sucked in a sharp breath: "Don't attack under any circumstances!"

Yamada: "Is this kaiju part of the 'Earth Defense Line'? Is it one of us?"

Kanda: "Since it hasn't destroyed the city, maybe it'll just tire out and return on its own?"

Qi Ming: "Kanda, scan this kaiju's body—you'll know what's in its throat."

"Throat?" Kanda complied—and his face turned pale.

"This data and energy signature… there's a bomb in its throat! A bomb filled with massive destructive particles!" Kanda's voice trembled with horror.

Moroboshi in the command room: "What? A bomb?"

Qi Ming spoke with grave seriousness: "If it detonates, the entire Earth will be destroyed."

Yamada: "A planet-destroying bomb—like the R1 super-weapon? Why is it inside a kaiju?!"

Qi Ming: "It was probably planted on Earth by other aliens, then accidentally swallowed by the kaiju. We must treat this with extreme caution."

If it explodes, every human on Earth will have to go to the afterlife and play a rematch with the previous Arbitration Civilization.

Kanda and Yamada felt their scalps tighten.

How evil these aliens are!

"Boom!" The ground cracked open beneath them; a massive dorsal fin came into view.

A familiar colossal presence emerged.

It was Masaki Kengo's Subterranean Shark—its long-hidden ambush now unleashed.

"That's the shark kaiju from Kumamoto City!" Yamada tensed, ready to attack, but Nishijo held him back.

"The bomb-swallowing kaiju is nearby—we can't fire recklessly," Nishijo said, unusually restrained.

"Shhh!" The Subterranean Shark's dorsal fin fired a ring-shaped blue scanning beam, enveloping Flyer One and Flyer Two.

It was scanning.

Far away, Masaki Kengo watched the scan results on his computer and broke into a wide grin.

"This wavelength and frequency… though some data is unresolvable, it's definitely that watch!"

"If I seize and analyze it, I'll become the Great Light!"
