The Absolute Kingdom.
“Intelligence update, the target can now transform individually?”
Abso-Tartarus, the Absolute, pondered after hearing his subordinate’s report.
“No major issue, my real concern is the stability of his summoned legendary powers.”
“We can only feel at ease to attack the Land of Light when he is crushed in the cradle.”
“Alright, first, supply more resources to the Alien Baltan, then guide more of the Ultras’ enemies to descend…”
Before Tartarus finished speaking, he was interrupted by a golden horned warrior:
“Wasting time on all this is pointless, let me end that human!”
Tartarus paused, “Alright, as long as you have the time…”
…
The Digimon universe, an extra-dimensional space.
In the end, Tartarus used both approaches, sending some of his subordinates to contact Alien Baltan again.
Alien Baltan was quite impatient, but for the sake of a bunch of monster resources, he forgave the Absolute’s boundary-less behavior.
“Alien Baltan, hopefully you can act as soon as possible, you must fight continuously, don’t give Chen Ling on Earth any room to breathe.”
“Yes, yes.”
Alien Baltan said nothing, being appeased by the gifts.
However, after the Absolute soldiers left, Alien Baltan still snorted:
“Humph, fight continuously? What am I, a cheap, overworked office worker? Eat dirt you!”
…
TPC, Victory Team.
Considering the upcoming interview, Captain Ide made a special effort to display the image of Taro, who was still unnamed.
“The names of other Ultras have been confirmed, but this Giant only appeared once, his name is unknown.”
“For the sake of the interview, we still need to decide on a distinguishable code name, any suggestions?”
Yes, this meeting was to name Taro.
Captain Hikari was the first to offer his idea:
“He’s as vast as a mountain, how about Giant Mountain Super Force?”
“Giant Mountain Super Force? It sounds a bit clumsy.”
Horii also offered his opinion.
Daigo was slightly embarrassed.
Actually, Taro’s image reminded Daigo very much of the Sixth Brother of Ultraman Seven, as described by Seven.
Therefore, Daigo suggested, “How about… Taro Ultraman?”
“Taro Ultraman? Didn’t we already have one?”
Noriaki brought up a picture of Seven.
Shinjoh took a closer look, patted Daigo’s shoulder and laughed:
“You know what, this horned Giant does look a lot like Taro Ultraman, but next time, don’t get them mixed up, Daigo!”
Daigo: …
Daigo was completely baffled, he never imagined his master’s official name was Taro Ultraman.
No wonder, he was in special training at the time, and didn’t really pay attention to the naming process afterwards.
Hence, it was a bit unexpected.
Daigo tried to correct him, “Well… is there a chance this one is called Seven Ultraman?”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible, this is confirmed by Jack Ultraman himself.”
Horii answered with certainty, making Daigo question himself.
However, Shinjoh was lost in thought, “Seven Ultraman, does that name sound familiar to you?”
“No!” X4
“Still, it sounds nice. How about we call this horned Giant Seven Ultraman?”
Daigo: …
At this moment, Rina sent a message to Chen Ling.
Chen Ling did not expect that his little joke would backfire.
Chen Ling couldn’t even imagine the awkwardness of being called Seven after transforming into Taro.
So, Chen Ling replied to Rina with the correct name.
Daigo was still insisting.
“I’m not sure about the horned Giant’s name, but the Ice Axe Giant saved me and told me his real name was Seven Ultraman.”
“Maybe Jack Ultraman called him the wrong name? We humans make mistakes sometimes, don’t we?”
Rina, having received the answer, offered support:
“Well, I suddenly remembered… I’ve met the horned Giant, he did call himself Taro Ultraman.”
“Really?”
“Do Ultras make mistakes?”
Horii and Hikari were still doubtful.
Captain Ide, presiding over the meeting, looked at Rina with a meaningful gaze, then still accepted Daigo’s opinion.
“Let’s go with Daigo’s name, after all, the Ice Axe Giant hasn’t confirmed he’s called Taro…”
————————
Back to Chen Ling’s side.
Maya also returned home that night.
“Special training?”
Maya was going to say she was busy with work lately.
After all, her last concert was sabotaged by the Kirielod.
However, thinking of Chen Ling and her idle state during their fusion, she still dialed her manager’s number:
“I need a week off, please push all my matters back, I don’t mind losing money…”
…
The next day.
Nan Xizi’s training session began.
A grand opening!
The location for the first training session was set at the swimming pool.
A swimsuit party unfolded…
A dazzling array of beauty!
Nan Xizi, Rina, Maya, and Shaki, each wearing their own swimsuits.
Even if Chen Ling’s initial intention was simply to find partners, it didn’t stop him from admiring the scenery…
It was just a pity that Zhen Youlei was absent.
However, Chen Ling also didn’t expect Shaki to come.
After all, she said she didn’t want to be an Ultraman!
“Why are you here? Changed your mind?” Rina also curiously asked.
Shaki shook her head, “I just felt lonely, being with you guys makes me happy. We can still be friends, right?”
Rina nodded, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, there was only one fusion partner for Chen Ling, and one fewer person meant less competition.
“Okay, let’s start!”
“The first thing you need to overcome is the difficulty of being in water, is anyone here who can’t swim?”
Rina, Maya, and Shaki all shook their heads.
One was an elite member of the Victory Team, and the other two were aliens…
“Then we’ll directly train your swimming speed and diving time…”
The three women jumped directly into the water.
At an unnoticeable moment, the pool seemed to tremble slightly…
(PS: I should be able to resume three chapters tomorrow, oh no, I mean today!)
