After scanning each member of the Night Raid team, Kira Zayu spoke up, "First, let me clarify something: this silver giant is not an aberrant beast. Its vibrational waves are similar to those of aberrant beasts, but there is a fundamental difference. I initially wanted you to test its attitude towards us, but I didn't expect it to retaliate."
"This isn't a total loss; now that we understand its character, we can make arrangements accordingly."
Kira Zayu intended for the Night Raid team to attack the new capable one to confirm this guy's attitude. The outcome was quite poor, but it was both unexpected and reasonable.
After all, being attacked for no reason would naturally lead to a defensive counterattack, unless the opponent had an exceptionally gentle heart. Otherwise, the first reaction to an attack from a stranger is to fight back. He believed that not just he, but the vast majority of people in the world would react the same way.
He frowned and asked, "If it's not an aberrant beast, then who is it? How should we face it in the future?"
"It is meant to deal with aberrant beasts. Also, that black humanoid creature that appeared today is a monster, likely from another world. Everyone, please look at the big screen."
Kira Zayu looked towards the large screen ahead, which had turned on by itself and was playing a video detailing the appearance of the Flame Demon Warrior.
In the originally calm night sky, a crack suddenly appeared in space, and then the Flame Demon Warrior fell out of this crack without any warning.
Saijo Nagi frowned and said, "From another world? What's going on?"
Shikigane Mitsuhiko also showed confusion in his eyes, saying, "From the video just now, it seems that space has distorted for unknown reasons, connecting with the space of another world, thus bringing that monster into our world."
He had never anticipated such a situation would arise, but it wasn't something he found too concerning. After all, judging by the monster that appeared tonight, its strength was still inferior to that of aberrant beasts.
Kira Zayu's gaze was sharp as he said, "Since I am called the Seer, I will foresee certain future events. Today's incident is just the beginning; similar situations will occur in the future. I hope everyone is prepared. As for the silver giant, it is the main force against aberrant beasts and monsters from other worlds. We should not engage it. Deputy Captain Saijo, do you understand?"
The reason he specifically mentioned Saijo Nagi was that Kira Zayu knew of her hatred for aberrant beasts, but Ultraman was not an aberrant beast.
The others exchanged glances; since it was the main force, why had they ordered an attack just now? Wasn't that a bit reckless?
Saijo Nagi's expression was grim, but she eventually nodded, "I understand."
"Then I will take my leave."
After receiving Saijo Nagi's response, Kira Zayu vanished before everyone.
In the small room where Kira Zayu's main body was located, he repeatedly watched the video of the space crack that appeared when the Flame Demon Warrior emerged. The aberrant beasts had yet to be dealt with, and now monsters from other worlds were appearing. Moreover, he foresaw that the future would be extremely challenging, with enemies growing stronger one after another. Even capable ones might not always win. This was troublesome.
Although he was a Seer, knowing the future was not that easy. Kira Zayu could only unconsciously foresee a few images; it wasn't as if he could know whatever he wanted to foresee.
……
Back at home, Zhao Hao stood on the balcony, watching the light emitted by the Evolution Trust, which synchronized with his heartbeat, before tucking it into his embrace.
Zhao Hao supported himself on the balcony, looking up at the stars and moon in the sky, saying, "This is my first transformation, and the feeling is truly wonderful. It's like the light magnifies my body, enhancing it based on my physical attributes. Is this what it means to completely merge with the light?"
Moreover, after transforming into Nexus, a basic instinctive combat memory, along with all of Nexus's skills, was fully engraved in his mind.
Zhao Hao was able to transform into the red youth form, which was significantly stronger than the silver juvenile form, but he could not transform into the blue form.
Although Zhao Hao was strong enough, the evolution of light was insufficient. It was like a game character; when initially created, even if a world-class expert came in, they would start at the same level as an ordinary player. However, a world-class player could quickly surpass an ordinary player through awareness, skill, and level.
Zhao Hao could rely on fighting enemies to continuously strengthen the light, thus unlocking the blue form and even the Noah form!
Having figured all this out, Zhao Hao felt no hesitation. The sky was getting dark; it was time to go to bed. Tomorrow would be another early rising day.
At four in the morning, Zhao Hao, like a biological clock, woke up right on time. He glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table, got up, and pulled open the curtains.
Outside, it was still pitch dark, with no light in sight. Zhao Hao turned on the light, changed into a black tank top for a cooler outfit, then went downstairs to make a simple breakfast. After hanging a towel around his neck, he headed out for a morning run.
What Zhao Hao didn't know was that as he stepped out for his morning run, in a neighboring bungalow, there was a girl in pink pajamas. She had long, smooth black hair that reached her waist, a delicate and beautiful face, and her fair skin and aura made her stand out among girls.
She stood by the window of her room, watching Zhao Hao. The girl's body appeared very delicate, but unfortunately, she had a bit of a flat chest. Her gaze remained fixed on Zhao Hao until he ran far away, after which she returned to bed to sleep.
"Zhao Hao, we can finally meet."
The girl stared at the ceiling, murmuring to herself before closing her eyes.
At the moment she closed her eyes, memories of her encounter with Zhao Hao ten years ago began to flood her mind. Although the plot was somewhat cliché, it was something Yukinoshita Yukino had always kept in her heart.
Zhao Hao ran a lap around the nearby streets, taking about forty minutes. There was no one around; at this time, everyone was asleep, and only Zhao Hao had gotten up early to start exercising.
Because he was different from others, who just needed to live well day by day; he needed to survive. How could he survive?
He needed to become stronger, as strong as he could, so that his transformation into Ultraman would not be in vain.
Back home, Zhao Hao took a sip of water, then walked towards the warehouse beside the house, pulling up the roller shutter door. Inside were various fitness equipment.
Zhao Hao took off his tank top, revealing his strong muscles, and began a new day's workout.
At seven in the morning, the sun had begun to rise in the east.
Zhao Hao, drenched in sweat, was doing one-handed three-finger push-ups, with the other hand resting behind his back. A lot of sweat dripped from his face onto the ground.
"498...499...500!"
After counting to five hundred, he pushed his body up and sat down, gasping for breath.
This continuous high-intensity training for five years should have left many hidden injuries on his body, but Zhao Hao was not worried at all. He could summon the Stone Wings to heal himself whenever he felt discomfort, so he had no injuries at all.
Glancing at the time on the wall clock, Zhao Hao got up, returned to his house to take a shower, then took out a 1L bottle of fresh milk from the fridge, poured a glass, and drank it in one go.
He put on a stylish blue and white school uniform, with a white shirt underneath and a black tie, then pushed the door open and locked it, heading to the right.
Today was the opening day for various schools.
