Chapter Two: The Arrival of King Ailey, the Victorious Team?
“Monster! The monster has appeared again! Help!!”
“Mom!”
“Where is the Defense Force?! Damn it, why was there no warning at all?”
“Run! Don’t block my way!”
“Everyone, don’t panic. Pray with me to the great deity Kirielod, beseeching the arrival of the divine envoy!”
Countless people fled in chaos, a dense sea of heads pressing together. From the background, Bemular spewed its azure heat ray, incinerating building after building of reinforced concrete.
The crowd’s panic only deepened.
Indeed, the fearsome dark green beast before them was none other than Bemular, the monster that debuted in the first episode of the original Ultraman TV series.
Legend has it that Bemular wreaked havoc across the universe, pursued relentlessly by the first Ultraman, and accidentally stumbled onto Earth.
In the process, Ultraman inadvertently transformed into Daikun, destroying the plane piloted by Hayata, and to make amends, they became one in spirit. Thus began the Ultraman saga.
Ultimately, Bemular was slain by their hands.
And now, Bemular had appeared once more.
But that grim-faced hero—they were nowhere to be found!
“Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck! Why do monsters always show up at the worst possible time?”
“We have to retreat for now. I don’t even know if the recently wiped-out Defense Force can regroup again.”
Lin Yu gritted his teeth. Amid the chaotic screams, he was pushed along by the fleeing crowd, forced away from the terrifying giant beast.
He was just an ordinary man, handsome but otherwise powerless, utterly helpless in the face of such a hellish scene.
If this were a world of armored warriors or Kamen Riders, battling ordinary super-powered beasts or villains wouldn’t be so hopeless.
At worst, he could call on the Hundred-Ton King and crash into them on the highway.
But against Bemular? Even the Hundred-Ton King would only be a mere chew toy!
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!”
The sound of wings tearing through the sky filled the air. Several sleek fighter jets darted out from the horizon, missiles launched, trailing fiery tails as they targeted Bemular.
They arrived quickly—perhaps they had detected the meteor-like Bemular hurtling toward Earth well in advance.
“Boom boom!”
The missiles struck Bemular in an instant.
But the damage...
Was negligible.
Bemular roared and tangled fiercely with the jets.
The terror in the crowd below lessened slightly, but they still fled.
It was clear they had little faith in the Defense Force.
Too many of them had been wiped out, with too few monsters eliminated. Distrust was inevitable.
Lin Yu slowed his pace a little, looking up at the jets with a puzzled expression.
“These jets... why do they look so familiar?”
“Wait, aren’t those the Swallow One and Swallow Two from the Victory Team?”
“Is Daigo inside? If Daigo’s here, what about Diga?”
“But Golza and Melba have already appeared, and there’s been no sign of the Pyramid. If Diga or any Ultraman were here, they wouldn’t just stand by and watch Earth be ravaged by monsters!”
Lin Yu murmured to himself.
[New monster detected: “Cosmic Savage Beast—Bemular.” Recording in progress...]
[Recording successful!]
[Defeating Bemular will unlock Bemular’s breeding qualification!]
[Host monster “Eleking” cultivation reached 100%, summon now?]
[Host’s first successful monster cultivation; fourth monster breeding qualification unlocked!]
[This is the host’s first battle; defeating the opponent will grant extra rewards!]
A flood of notifications erupted on Lin Yu’s phone, causing it to vibrate wildly.
“What is this?”
Watching the Swallow jets battling Bemular, Lin Yu glanced down and was drawn in by the messages.
Bemular had been recorded?
Defeating this Bemular would unlock the right to breed it?
And there were extra rewards for the first battle?
Also, Eleking’s cultivation was at 100%, and he could choose to summon it?
Could it be...
“It really can bring the monsters from these games into reality!!”
“Is this my golden finger?”
Lin Yu let out a soft hiss. At this moment, no matter how much the crowd surged and how many terrified cries filled the air, none of it could bring him despair.
“Gehou!”
Bemular stomped on an overpass, instantly cracking the road. Cars fell like wounded sparrows.
This creature was utterly reckless!
“Let’s see if it’s true!”
“Summon Eleking!”
Without hesitation, Lin Yu tapped the summon button on his phone fiercely.
The next moment,
The phone screen abruptly shifted.
Displayed was a scene on Earth—specifically, a nuclear power plant.
But... it wasn’t the Earth Lin Yu was on.
It was Earth from another dimension.
Outside the nuclear plant stood a beige monster with black stripes.
Eleking!
At this moment, Eleking’s crescent-shaped eyes moved, drawing in surrounding electric currents that attached to his skin and were rapidly absorbed.
His powerful tail coiled around an Ultraman drenched in flames, gripping tightly an ice axe in hand.
Electricity crackled, leaving the Ultraman writhing in agony.
“Is that... Seven?”
Lin Yu blinked at the screen in surprise.
Before he could react, a giant black hole appeared above Eleking’s head.
In an instant, the black hole sucked Eleking in.
Its gravity targeted only Eleking, leaving nothing else affected—completely defying logic!
Only the drained nuclear plant and a limp Seven remained on the ground.
Back in reality, not far above Lin Yu, that familiar black hole appeared without warning.
Though only about a hundred meters wide, its presence was awe-inspiring. An uninformed observer might mistake it for the Paragion shield of Ultimate Zero opening a portal through space-time.
The beige figure emerged through the black hole!
All of this happened within a second, too fast for Lin Yu to fully grasp.
“Gegi!!!”
A sharp, distinctive cry rang out as the black hole dissipated, and the seventy-meter-tall Eleking fell from the sky!
“Boom!!”
Dust and debris exploded from the ground, as if a mighty conqueror had arrived.
If memory served, Eleking’s normal height was just over fifty meters.
Lin Yu’s Eleking was clearly oversized.
The once fierce and towering Bemular barely reached Eleking’s nose.
Even without contact, the crackling electricity on Eleking’s body made Bemular’s skin tingle.
Such a disparity cleared the destructive gleam from Bemular’s eyes.
Meanwhile, several fighter jets had already been shot down, leaving only Swallow Two barely holding on.
But this did not bring relief.
Because...
Here came another monster.
And it looked far stronger.
