Chapter 465: 458 Why Do Kaiju Appear? (Second Update)

Two days later, on a night, Qi Ming stared at the intelligence compiled by Hui Mei, his expression grim.

From the periphery of Antarctica to the South Pacific, large ships at sea and lighthouses vanished one after another at night.

No witnesses, cause unknown; many speculated it was the work of kaiju.

“Has the Light Demon begun its move?” Qi Ming felt deeply troubled.

All other kaiju and aliens, no matter how intimidating or uniquely powered, were ultimately defeated in the original plot.

So to defeat such enemies, Qi Ming only needed to exploit their known weaknesses from the original plot and replicate its sequence.

But the Light Demon was different—it likely never died at all.

Even when Gojira sacrificed himself, transformed into Jack, and entered the Light Demon’s body, using thermal expansion and contraction to shatter its crystalline form.

Yet the aurora that released the Light Demon into the sky still remained, undissipated.

Amid Gojira’s pained expression and his declaration, “I will fight you to the end,” the episode ended abruptly, leaving room for speculation.

Still, having the original plot’s intelligence was better than nothing; otherwise, facing it without knowing it was immune to physical attacks and immortal in light would likely result in an instant kill.

With this knowledge, there was still room to maneuver.

“Dii-dii-dii.” Alarms blared; according to the power plant’s alert, a kaiju had appeared.

“The power output from the meter is acting strange—there’s a kaiju, a kaiju is devouring our electricity!”

“It appears and disappears—hurry and help us!”

Upon hearing these two sentences, Qi Ming already had an idea; after seeing the image of the kaiju sent over, he immediately recognized it.

A very classic workhorse, appearing in the original series, Gorgo, Robo, Zeta, Ark, and even in “New Ultraman.”

This thing was the transparent kaiju [Neronga]!

The more electricity it consumed, the stronger it became; it could unleash high-voltage shocks from its head horns and render itself invisible by turning its body transparent.

It was unlikely to reach B-class; compared to Chaos Virus and the Light Demon, it was negligible.

But to train his juniors, Qi Ming still drove the Drumm car and accompanied Feng Yuan to the scene.

On the way, Feng Yuan turned on the radio to listen to a program; the host and guest’s conversation came through.

Host: “Current kaiju disasters have severely impacted global economies and public safety.”

“Mr. Zqiao, the science fiction writer, what are your thoughts on kaiju? Why have they appeared in large numbers these past few years?”

Guest: “Although kaiju have only recently emerged strongly before humanity, humans have long imagined their existence.”

“Since ancient times, humans have imagined and designed all kinds of kaiju—immense power, colossal bodies—humanity has always yearned for such beings; the dragon is one such example.”

“Kaiju have flooded screens worldwide, leaving deep impressions in children’s minds.”

“Why do kaiju appear? Could it be because humans wish them to?”

Feng Yuan, in the passenger seat, couldn’t help but chuckle: “That’s absurd—because humans imagine them, powerful kaiju just appear?”

Qi Ming: “Who knows? Don’t underestimate the power of imagination. There’s a kaiju called [Gabaton] born from a child’s thoughts.”

Feng Yuan: “Huh?”

Qi Ming’s words startled him—could this really happen?

Wait—if imagination can birth kaiju, then wouldn’t humanity’s longing for heroes generate countless Ultramen?

At this moment, the power plant at midnight was shrouded in eerie silence, the hum of high-voltage wires echoing through the night.

Suddenly, the voltage meter in the substation began to swing wildly, and abnormal blue arcs crackled across the insulating porcelain.

All lights in the facility flickered and died; transparent ripples twisted and warped in the air, and Neronga’s silhouette gradually emerged.

It extended its head horn, pressing against the power lines, greedily absorbing the high-voltage current.

“Kaiju!” The power plant workers scrambled to flee; as the Drumm car arrived, Feng Yuan immediately transformed into Leo and clashed with Neronga.
