Chapter 346: Integration 88%, A-Class from Zhu Xingtuan! (Request Monthly Votes)

Kai exclaimed: "Gagura, that's not your transformed appearance!"

On the Zhu Xingtuan screen, Gagura in his demon form was shoulder-to-shoulder with a man in a green uniform, a massive, round sphere serving as their backdrop.

Qi Ming widened his eyes.

The green-haired man he recognized—Dagim Shinya, the host of the parasitic lifeform Seruburo from the original series.

The giant sphere riddled with holes—he also recognized it: the fourth-dimensional monster Bruton.

This was—scene from Episode 15 of Ultraman Zeta: "The Fourth-Dimensional Chaos!"

In that world, Gagura was the commander of the Armory.

On the Zhu Xingtuan screen, Gagura in demon form said: "I'm here to help you, but do you really have to pull a prank today? We're at a victory banquet."

Kai beside Qi Ming widened his eyes again: "That's really Gagura's voice."

The Gagura beside Qi Ming was baffled: "How is this possible? Is the other side… my parallel universe counterpart?"

Qi Ming nodded: "Correct answer."

Gagura couldn't help but imagine: My counterpart in another world—what would he be like? Still not an Ultraman? Does he know Kai?

On the screen, Seruburo slowly retreated; Gagura in demon form swung his blade forward—and vanished from the frame.

Kai: "He's gone! What happened?"

Qi Ming: "I guess he went to the bathroom."

Gagura: "?"

The Zhu Xingtuan screen shifted rapidly, like a moving camera, finally locking onto the massive Bruton.

Qi Ming immediately threw the metallic sphere carrying the distress signal into the screen.

The screen dissolved; the Ultraman Selector dial spun, displaying a silhouette of Bruton.

Fourth-Dimensional Monster—Bruton.

Integration: 88%.

Rating: A-class.

Everyone was stunned, including Qi Ming.

A-class?

88% integration?

The highest integration so far was Gaia SV's 80%—this 88% is terrifying.

Emi: "This is… the first A-class entity ever pulled into the Zhu Xingtuan. It must be incredibly strong."

Shirogane: "That's the fourth-dimensional monster Bruton. To our three-dimensional world, it's a powerful beast capable of controlling time and space, with countless other formidable abilities."

Qi Ming nodded—Shirogane had hit the nail on the head.

In Zeta, this Bruton's combat power alone is immense—Zeta Gamma Future could easily crush the Five Emperors, yet Bruton could suppress Zeta Gamma Future, and with its endless array of abilities, an A-class rating is completely justified.

What puzzled him was why the integration showed 88%.

It wasn't that monsters couldn't have additive integration—take Gomora: regular Gomora at 60%, ferocious Gomora at 70%, EX Gomora at 80%—that made perfect sense.

But this Bruton… he doesn't have any upgraded forms, does he?

Emi, curious now, asked: "Does 88% integration mean this Bruton has something extra compared to the ordinary one?"

Something extra…

A flash of insight struck Qi Ming—he understood.

Three Brutons have appeared: one in Ultraman, one in Big Monster Fight Season One, and the one just shown in the Zhu Xingtuan—Ultraman Zeta.

The first two Brutons were killed by Ultraman and Rai's Gomora—killed, and that was the end.

But after the Bruton in Ultraman Zeta was killed… it exploded into a Gorgon, which kicked around Gagura as the Five Emperors, Jeed in his Genesis form, and Zeta in his Alpha form.

At the time, Seruburo was stunned—desperate to keep the game alive, he had to lend the Belial Medal to the Ultramen. In other words, the Bruton he pulled into the Zhu Xingtuan contained a Gorgon inside it!

Later, when defeated—no, better phrased: when facing an enemy too strong to beat, he could just "spit" out the Gorgon inside and let it go on a rampage?

And in this case, there'd be no worry about Gorgon harming innocents—if Gorgon is cosmic trash, Bruton is the trash can designed specifically for it, perfect compatibility.

Where protected by Bruton, Gorgon, to avoid being locked up again, would instinctively retreat.

This trump card is far safer than risking his life to transform into Gorgon himself!

This is absolutely thrilling!

I knew it—if I kept pulling the gacha, I'd eventually hit the jackpot!

"I feel great," Qi Ming stretched his arms, wearing an invincible expression.

He walked out of the room, refreshed, suddenly curious whether his distress signal sphere could be seen by Gagura in Ultraman Zeta.

If Gagura from that world came here and met this Gagura—the scene alone was amusing to imagine.

…………………………

Meanwhile, in the Defense Force's most secret arms factory.

Commander Sora, the Defense Force's top leader, stood on a platform, staring at the towering red-and-silver giant before him—the repaired Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen.

At that moment, Second-in-command Nishijo approached to report: "TPC has focused all attention on that colossal tree. That's good."

Lately, high command had ordered personnel to remain low-profile and avoid conflict with TPC.

The goal: avoid drawing their attention so they could quietly complete repairs on the Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen left behind by the Salome aliens.

Seeing the Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen's repair progress at 90%, Nishijo felt exhilarated—his long suffering was nearly over.

He said: "The mechanically upgraded Imaginary Saiwen will be stronger than the real Ultraman Imaginary Saiwen. With this power, no one will dare defy us."

Commander Sora was less optimistic: "I never expected to use it to rule the globe—just enough to preserve the Defense Force's dignity."

"Besides, if we cause too much chaos, the righteous Ultramen won't stand idly by."

Nishijo hesitated briefly:

"Are you worried the Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen isn't strong enough to defeat any Ultramen who might interfere? About that—I have a report."

"According to the latest underground drilling research, deep beneath Jiangxing Town lies a high-energy mineral called Victory Crystal."

"If we use this energy to power our Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen, its combat power could increase nine to tenfold!"

Commander Sora frowned, about to speak—when suddenly, Nishijo's subordinate, Shinzan, rushed in:

"Commander Sora, Commander Nishijo—urgent update."

"Just now, a magic circle opened on our No. 5 arms factory—out of it descended a white dragon-shaped robot!"

Commander Sora and Nishijo exchanged startled glances: "A white dragon-shaped robot appeared from a magic circle?"

The two hurried away to investigate.

Soon, at the No. 5 arms factory, Defense Force high command saw a white dragon-shaped robot, its head trailing mechanical tail-like segments, with a red energy core on its chest.

If Qi Ming were here, he'd instantly recognize this giant robot's origin.

It was the Civilization Arbiter—Galatron.

Still stuck in writing—will update only this much today.

Still struggling to make Karl Mirra's entrance flow smoothly.

Any enemies or episodes you'd like to see? If not, I'll just have Qi Ming transform into Trigga to elbow the Empire aliens and bring out Karl Mirra.
