Chapter 403: 398 Seruburo: Why Are Aliens So Evil!

The consecutive three days of high-frequency attacks had all been annihilated, seemingly intimidating the enemies eyeing Earth; after the Violin Monster was destroyed, no monsters had appeared for a full five days.

Now that Starci had arrived at 6 o'clock, Qi Ming felt quite comfortable.

"If only we had more personnel," he thought.

His own transformation was limited by Starci, and Fujimiya, as a human, had physical limits—he couldn't keep fighting consecutively without risking collapse.

Victor's human host, Xiang, had vanished somewhere, and Ai Rian Cheng was holding down the "Demon-Sealing Tower"…

It would be great if Hong Kai could bring back a batch of reinforcements from the Land of Light.

After breakfast, Qi Ming left the mess hall and sat across from Soldier Shan Zhong, who was scrolling through his phone and chuckling: "Someone who can't even read can be a host? Hahaha."

Beside him, Kishida leaned over: "What's going on?"

Soldier Shan Zhong turned his phone around, showing a male anchor on the financial channel: "Next is the exchange rate and… how do you pronounce this character?"

He whispered the question, and the female anchor replied: "It's 'gu,' as in exchange rate and stock market trends."

The male anchor nodded repeatedly, offering an awkward but polite smile to the camera: "My apologies, let me continue to the next item… what was I supposed to say again?"

Kishida froze. What's this? Can't even read from the script? Did he forget how to pronounce 'gu' again?

The female anchor couldn't take it anymore and snatched the teleprompter: "Next item is—huh?"

She looked down at the script, equally baffled.

Kishida: "?"

You don't know how to read the news script either?

Didn't you just teach the male anchor how to read, and now you've forgotten too?

Two young people with memories worse than the elderly?

Soldier Shan Zhong shook his head and declared: "Modern media really knows how to create hype—turning the financial channel into a variety show."

Kishida nodded. Were the two anchors deliberately acting this way to stir up attention? That would make sense.

Meanwhile, under the possession of Seruburo, Aihara Ryu, under orders from Colonel Nishijo, arrived at Defense Force's No. 2 Arsenal with Nagisa Jun'ya.

Nagisa Jun'ya: "Why are we here at the arms factory? Are we supposed to test new weapons?"

Seruburo, possessing Aihara Ryu, shook his head silently.

Soon, they were led into a vast chamber, and when the lights turned on, a colossal warship appeared before them.

"This is!" Nagisa Jun'ya stared in awe.

Colonel Nishijo stepped forward, beaming with pride:

"This is the Prometheus, a superweapon developed by Dr. Kagami Rui's team of the Defense Force."

"Its performance far surpasses anything on Earth today; the 'New Megasec Cannon' mounted on it is even deadlier than an Ultraman—it's the perfect, strongest weapon!"

Aihara Ryu, possessed by Seruburo: "The New Megasec Cannon—is it related to TPC's Megasec power system?"

At that moment, Dr. Kagami Rui stepped forward: "The Megasec power system isn't that special. If TPC can develop it, so can we."

"Well said!" Colonel Nishijo felt utterly satisfied.

After the Atlantean's debut, the Defense Force had wanted to replicate a "space-and-air-capable aircraft carrier."

The massive hull was built, but no power system could sustain its prolonged flight. They sought technological support from TPC, but those self-proclaimed "protectors of Earth" spoke grandly while hoarding core technology tighter than anyone else.

But the self-developed capabilities of Dr. Kagami Rui's newly arrived team had delighted them—they poured unlimited resources into the team, granting every request.

Now, this Prometheus, bearing the Defense Force's hopes, had been completed!

Nagisa Jun'ya grew excited: "Is this Prometheus stronger than TPC's Atlantean?"

"Of course. Come inside and take a look," said Colonel Nishijo.

Inside, Nagisa Jun'ya asked: "Why isn't there a pilot seat in the cockpit?"

Dr. Kagami Rui: "Because it's unnecessary."

She tapped a few keys, and a sealed capsule emerged from the cockpit.

Dr. Kagami Rui: "This capsule can read execution data directly from the human brain and upload it to the ship's main computer. The combat experience of elite fighters can be perfectly replicated by the Prometheus, ensuring absolute victory."

Aihara Ryu, possessed by Seruburo, broke into a cold sweat: "So this warship needs to read and load our memories?"

This was unacceptable!

If scanned, he'd be exposed immediately!

He knew full well the Defense Force's and humanity's scientific level—such a colossal warship couldn't possibly be built by humans in such a short time.

This Dr. Kagami Rui was almost certainly a puppet controlled by an alien.

How evil these aliens are!

On other planets, Seruburo had played the "civilization self-destruction game" with ease—everything unfolded exactly as he planned, and the thrill of pulling the strings from behind the scenes had delighted him immensely.

But since arriving on this planet, everything had gone wrong.

Because this planet had too many variables!

Aliens kept arriving one after another, and Ultramen kept popping up one after another; compared to them, he felt utterly insignificant.

What should he do? What should he do? If he was exposed here, not only his undercover career, but his life too, would end.

Seruburo's suspicion was correct: the current Dr. Kagami Rui, just as in the original "Star Warrior" plot, was being manipulated by the Monera aliens.

The core technology of the Prometheus was also largely provided by the Monera aliens—they were using humans to build weapons designed to destroy humanity.

"Fine! If we can outperform TPC in resisting invaders and eliminating monsters, then read my memories!" Nagisa Jun'ya volunteered, stepping in to shield Aihara Ryu.

With that, Nagisa Jun'ya lay down inside the sealed capsule, and his memories began to be scanned.

Watching this, Dr. Kagami Rui's eyes flickered with disappointment.

If only we could read the memories of the Ultraman warriors…

In the original plot, the Monera aliens, knowing that Fei Niao Xin was Dyna, lured him into the sealed capsule, scanned his memories, and analyzed Dyna's combat patterns.

They also implanted a false memory—"Dyna was destroyed by the New Megasec Cannon"—to instill fear in Fei Niao Xin, causing him to flee at the sight of the weapon.

In this world, the Monera aliens had also identified "Fujimiya," "Himeya Jun," and others as Ultraman hosts, but dared not act rashly.

First, because Fujimiya and Himeya Jun were neither reckless nor foolish, and weren't part of the Defense Force, making them hard to approach.

Second, because of Qi Ming—in intelligence reports, this Qi Ming "could predict the future" and was closely aligned with the Ultramen; any move against them might trigger premature exposure.

So they'd skip this step—analyzing past Ultraman battle footage should be enough to decipher their combat styles.

But with so many Ultramen as opponents… it might still be tricky.
