Chapter 387: How Does It Feel to Strive to Be Number One?

"Bang!" The next moment, the ice of the South Pole cracked open, and a bizarre monster burst forth, blocking the way before Lei Qiu.

This is the biological weapon created by the Daxis System people in Ultraman Tiga's "Southern Strait," 【Dai Dai Xima Nyia】!

"Bang!" The dark purple Dark Zepellion beam struck the body of 【Dai Dai Xima Nyia】, which merely staggered, showing no fatal injury.

Lei Qiu finally regained his composure and launched another fireball at Dark Tiga.

Qi Ming dodged while glancing at 【Dai Dai Xima Nyia】: "Why is this thing here too? Are the Daxis System people getting involved too?"

He never imagined the South Pole could be this crowded.

In the original series, Dai Dai Xima Nyia's destructive beam could reduce a freshly transformed Tiga to a red light, its armor could withstand the Texas beam from Victory Flyer II, and it was only destroyed when simultaneously hit by Tiga's Zepellion beam and the Drac cannon from the Atides.

This thing's combat power was undoubtedly among the top ten in Ultraman Tiga—a true powerhouse.

"Facing two powerhouses from Tiga and Dyna while in Dark Tiga form… Have I won too many battles lately and been punished by the ELO system?" Qi Ming looked up at the sky.

But now he had no choice but to push forward.

Qi Ming dodged Lei Qiu's fireballs and 【Dai Dai Xima Nyia】's laser sweeps while thinking:

"【Dai Dai Xima Nyia】 is a biological weapon created by the Daxis System people; Lei Qiu is a biological weapon created by Shium."

"Aren't both these aliens here to conquer Earth? Why do their biological weapons coordinate so well?"

Meanwhile, in the underwater base's main control room.

"Ding." Hui Mei glanced at the communicator—Shan Zhong had sent a new message.

"Things are bad. Another monster has appeared—no arms or legs, looks like a piano."

"Black-skinned Tiga couldn't even hold his own in a one-on-one; now he's fighting two—he's going to lose."

Seeing this, Hui Mei's expression shifted, and she immediately said: "Qi Ming's situation is dire—we can't keep making him bear all the pressure."

She argued that since Dark Tiga was in peril, they couldn't just wait passively—they had to find a way to break the stalemate.

Jia Mu Si squinted, flipping through the classified documents just pulled from the safe under the dim emergency lights:

"Once the nuclear launch protocol is activated, it will fire in fifteen minutes… This is really bad."

"Got it—there's an emergency mainframe at the D7 terminal of this underwater base."

"We can use that emergency mainframe to reboot the system and retake control of the main computer in the control room."

In the original Ultraman Dyna series, Lü Chuan Mayi used this exact method to reboot the Klakuh call.

"Alright, let's go!" Jia Gu La didn't want to sit idle.

Jia Mu Si said someone had to stay behind in the control room to terminate the nuclear launch protocol and shut down the Antarctic Light shield once the system rebooted.

That was problematic.

Because many green fish-men still roamed the underwater base—both leaving and staying carried the risk of being found by them.

After Qi Ming left, Jia Gu La, the strongest fighter here, couldn't protect both sides at once.

Hui Mei made her decision instantly: "Jia Gu La, escort Jia Mu Si to D7. I'll hold the control room."

Jia Gu La: "But…"

Hui Mei drew the Victory Hap Gun: "No buts—I've been in the Victory Team for two years!"

Seeing her professional gun-ready stance, Jia Gu La sensed her resolve—he narrowed his eyes, grabbed Jia Mu Si, and walked out: "Fine, let's go!"

Jia Mu Si shouted: "Actually, I could stay here instead! Hey, does anyone care what I say?!"

After the invincible Qi Ming left, his confidence vanished by eighty percent—he couldn't help but grow tense.

Just ten meters from the control room, three green merfolk burst from a corner.

Jia Gu La instantly transformed into his demon form, swung his Snake Heart Sword, and slashed through all three merfolk in an instant.

"Let's move, fast," Jia Gu La said.

The next moment, sudden chaos erupted—the upper deck shattered, and six small 【Dai Dai Xima Nyia】 descended, firing lasers at Jia Gu La.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Jia Gu La was caught off guard, sparks flying across his body; he barely raised his Snake Heart Sword to block, but it was useless.

"Shhh!" At that moment, Jia Mu Si, who had just been trembling helplessly, pulled out the Victory Hap Gun from his coat and fired a laser sweep, wiping out three of the 【Small Dai Dai Xima Nyia】 in one go.

With half the enemy firepower reduced, Jia Gu La leapt up and slashed the remaining three 【Small Dai Dai Xima Nyia】 to pieces.

"I thought you'd just be shaking there the whole time—good aim," Jia Gu La said upon landing, glancing at Jia Mu Si.

He'd always assumed scientists had no combat ability; he hadn't expected this guy to be so reliable at a critical moment.

Jia Mu Si rubbed his sleeve, breathing out as his heartbeat slowed from a chaotic drumbeat: "Don't underestimate me—I once dared to fight Sfia for Earth's sake!"

"Impressive," Jia Gu La said with a teasing tone, and the two continued toward D7.

They encountered several more waves of hybrid units—merfolk tank units paired with small 【Dai Dai Xima Nyia】 aerial gunners—but thanks to their flawless coordination, they always broke through.

Jia Gu La realized: the merfolk and small 【Dai Dai Xima Nyia】 likely came from two different planets, yet these two invaders had somehow allied.

Jia Mu Si: "Maybe someone told them, 'If you don't unite, the Ultramen will pick you off one by one'?"

He reloaded his magazine and shot down two more small 【Dai Dai Xima Nyia】.

………………………………

Jia Mu Si was right.

The alliance between these two alien races was orchestrated by Ma Ma Erte.

"If you don't unite to defeat humanity and those Ultramen, you'll never have any claim to Earth."

The aliens accepted Ma Ma Erte's advice and decided to first destroy human civilization before "negotiating" the planet's ownership.

Inside the core area of the Barak Ship, several Ma Ma Erte people tapped at keyboards, their massive computing mainframe flashing behind them.

In this world, the Ma Ma Erte living in the sea had long noticed the ghost ship 【Barak Ship】, reprogramming it to attack human vessels.

To the Ma Ma Erte, any method that slaughtered humans was justice.

"Shhh…" Under the Ma Ma Erte's control, the Barak Ship surfaced at the main battlefield.

Qi Ming, in his Dark Tiga form, struggled to fend off Lei Qiu and 【Dai Dai Xima Nyia】, constantly dodging.

He knew one hit would mean total defeat.

"Ding-dong—ding-dong—ding-dong." The Color Timer on Dark Tiga began flashing.

This was caused by Qi Ming firing the Dark Zepellion beam twice more—normal attacks simply couldn't land effective damage; only finishers could.

Qi Ming: "..."

Dark Tiga's timer flashing—this was the first time.

The feeling of "striving to be first" was truly awful.

"Shhh!" The next moment, the Barak Ship broke the surface, its full armament unleashing a barrage onto Dark Tiga's back.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Sparks erupted, engulfing Dark Tiga's body in brilliant flashes.

He'd been hit after all.
