Masaki Keigo's words were full of mockery and teasing.
If he wasn't worried about offending the forces behind those human hosts and not getting enough support after the Imperium's arrival,
He would have liked to say to those human hosts:
"I'm not targeting anyone, I just want to say that everyone present is trash."
Don't ask why he was so arrogant and overbearing.
He was just that arrogant and overbearing.
As he pressed the start button, the machine roared like a sleeping giant.
Leaping electric arcs shone with strong light, jumping between the reaction columns wrapped around the conductor lines, like dancing spirits. They were sucked into the flask of the device, forming charged lightning balls. They twisted as if they were alive. The meter needle jumped, and the piston device reciprocated, driving the massive mechanical device. The entire laboratory vibrated slightly with the activated machinery.
Under the stimulation of the machinery, Ultraman Rosso's transformation device burst out with intense light. That light was then collected by the device designed by Masaki Keigo and mixed with the machine's light in the flask, irradiating the bodies of the soldiers through a radiator.
Using the Imperium's technology, they had already been injected with the genes of the ancient warriors, allowing them to use the power of Ultraman.
Now, all they lacked was an opportunity.
Unlike recognized human hosts,
These soldiers needed to drive the power of Ultraman with their will. The difference between the two was like a man conquering a young, cute, beautiful, attractive, proud-bodied widow who just got married and lost her husband, relying on his wealth and handsomely driving a Ferrari with one hand. The other was like a widow who was invited to dinner by a bald man and then fell in love with Jugem. The soldiers had to use their strong will to tame the power of Ultraman and make it work for them. This approach required a willpower countless times stronger than that of a human host and enduring pain unimaginable to ordinary people to complete the first transformation and obtain their own transformation device.
Facing the upcoming test, each of them was fearless, with determined expressions.
Each of them had a heavy past. Their past beauty and pain had forged their diamond-hard hearts.
Making their hearts incredibly firm.
Creating a world without monsters, where everyone could live in peace, was their greatest dream. To ensure 100% success,
They did not hesitate to undergo the ideological imprint provided by the Imperium, preparing to give their all.
Success or death.
No compromise, no surrender. The light mixed with the transformation device shone on the six people.
As the light shone, they showed expressions of pain. Their veins bulged, terrifying like they were possessed by evil spirits.
Every cell, every inch of bone felt as if it was being crushed and then reshaped.
Unimaginable pain tormented them, making them feel as if a knife was slashing their throats and nerves with every breath. The unprecedented suffering made them feel like they were in hell.
No!
It was more terrifying than hell.
In hell, you could only passively endure.
But they could choose to leave.
Not only did they have to endure the pain, but they also had to endure the temptation of being able to escape the pain by leaving.
Both their minds and bodies were enduring the same suffering.
"The more the body hurts, the stronger the will; as long as there is a breath, never give up."
A soldier roared.
"The more the body hurts, the stronger the will; as long as there is a breath, never give up."
"The more the body hurts, the stronger the will; as long as there is a breath, never give up."
The other five also shouted along. They came from all over the world, shaped by different cultures and languages.
But at this moment, their choice was the same. Their perseverance was the symbol of humanity's never-give-up spirit.
Even if fate was not kind, even if they were as humble as ants, even if they endured all kinds of hardships, they would never give up.
For humanity, for a world without monsters.
As the light reached its strongest, their pain also reached its peak.
In extreme pain, their bodies turned into light particles and flew towards the stone statues.
Just as the soldiers turned into light and entered the stone statues, Minato Katsumi and Minato Isami burst in. The guards outside had already been knocked down by them.
Chosen by the power of Ultraman, they had also gained some enhancements.
As soon as they entered the laboratory, they saw the roaring machinery and the transformation device.
Ultraman Rosso's transformation device was continuously emitting light.
Clearly, this guy had done something for this to happen. This arrogant guy, without getting certified, stole someone else's transformation device and tried to control the power of Ultraman. Unforgivable.
"Stop your wrong actions, you arrogant guy."
Minato Isami shouted angrily, taking out his transformation device.
Facing an ambitious person who knew about the existence of Ultraman and was trying to seize its power, there was no need for him to hide.
"You've come at the right time."
Masaki Keigo was startled when he saw that Minato Isami also had a transformation device, then a hint of jealousy arose in his heart. These two simple-minded brothers could get the recognition of the power of Ultraman and transform into Ultraman freely.
As such an outstanding human elite, he failed to gain recognition.
Was he really not as good as these two simple-minded guys??
In terms of universal love, he had been working hard to prevent humanity from heading towards the end of the world, wasn't that great love?
In terms of ability, he was a leader in multiple scientific research fields and had founded the Sotec Business Group, ranking among the top few on the rich list.
But when he thought about getting the Imperium's recognition and being about to become the opener of a new era,
He became balanced again.
People always have gains and losses.
Although he did not get the recognition of the power of Ultraman, he got the recognition of the Imperium and the protection of the Holy Emperor.
Such honor was enough to explain everything.
He looked at the Minato brothers with confidence and fearlessness, showing a smile.
"You will witness the dawn of an era. Human society will usher in a new round of reform, and we will unite as never before, creating a new glory."
"Imagine, humanity will not only conquer this universe but also conquer everything it can reach. The worlds you can imagine, the worlds you cannot imagine, will all be under human rule. This is the power of humanity. Everything must obey the will of humanity."
Masaki Keigo's words were filled with fanaticism.
He was so excited that he even wanted to cry.
What a grand blueprint.
If it could be realized, what glory and splendor would that be. The Holy Emperor, a dazzling and brilliant human leader.
His breadth of mind and ambition were enough to make countless people admire him.
Masaki Keigo had never genuinely admired anyone.
Even those Ultramans, he was not afraid of them.
He had even designed several mechanical beasts to deal with Ultramans.
But facing the future planned by the Holy Emperor, he felt for the first time how insignificant he was.
As humble as a speck of dust.
He was still racking his brains to seize the power of Ultraman, lead those foolish compatriots, and fight against the so-called dark doomsday. The Holy Emperor had already issued a declaration of conquest to all the heavens and universes.
All the heavens and myriad realms are the territory of the Imperium. The vast sky is the land of humanity.
"Madman."
Minato Katsumi said, "It is because there are too many madmen like you that this world is full of chaos and evil."
"Give up your evil intentions."
Minato Isami placed his transformation device on his waist and transformed into Ultraman Blu.
Accompanied by a strong light, a blue, silver, and black Ultraman appeared in the laboratory. To adapt to the battle here, Minato Isami had automatically shrunk to human height.
But his strength was not weakened in any way, still as strong as ever.
Masaki Keigo glanced at the display screen, which showed that the fusion progress had reached 100%.
"There is a good old saying in the East, as the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. I advise you not to be stubborn."
Hearing Masaki Keigo's words, Minato Isami laughed.
He was advising me not to be stubborn.
He really didn't know what was good for him.
"Today I will teach you a lesson and let you know how powerful Ultraman is."
Minato Isami assumed a fighting stance, ready to destroy the laboratory and reclaim his brother's transformation device.
With a hand chop, he condensed a ball of water-attribute energy, which flew out with lightning speed, swift as a startled swan.
Just as Minato Isami was full of confidence, thinking that he could easily deal with this arrogant ambitious man as soon as he transformed. The light ball that had just flown out was bounced back, hitting Ultraman Blu, who released the attack, and sending him flying into the wall. This sudden turn of events left the Minato brothers somewhat dumbfounded.
What's going on!!
They transformed into Ultraman and were instantly sent flying!!
Under their astonished and bewildered gaze.
Six Ultramans with different appearances appeared before them.
Each one exuded a heart-pounding aura. The temperament of an Ultraman is determined by the human host. The stronger the human host, the more tenacious their will, the stronger they become. The human hosts of the six Ultramans were all seasoned soldiers, forged into steel. Their aura was naturally sharp and decisive, more oppressive than when the Minato brothers transformed. The six Ultramans all had their own characteristics, the only common point was that they all had a double-headed eagle emblem on their chests. They looked like a trained army.
"How can there be six Ultramans!!"
Minato Katsumi said in disbelief.
"Hahaha, I love the exclamation of guys like you who are ignorant and short-sighted."
Masaki Keigo said complacently, "This is the new era of humanity. I will unify the entire humanity, and then represent everyone to pledge allegiance to the Holy Emperor, and participate in the great holy war of expedition. The name Masaki Keigo will resound throughout every universe."
"What a joke."
Ultraman Blu, transformed by Minato Isami, let out an angry roar using his psyker power. He got up and rushed forward again.
He wanted to use his courage and strength to tell this arrogant ambitious man. The power of Ultraman will never be controlled by a wrong heart.
Only those who are recognized can correctly use this power to bring happiness to humanity.
What happened next was extremely cruel, making it unbearable to watch.
Imagine what it would be like for six soldiers who had trained for many years, undergone ideological imprinting and genetic fine-tuning, and could subdue a golden belt boxing champion with martial arts within three seconds and instantly kill special forces, to gang up on an otaku.
Absolute brutality, absolute cruelty.
Ultraman Blu, who rushed forward, was thrown to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw. Then the six Ultramans rushed forward together, punching and kicking, using all kinds of martial arts.
One of them grabbed Ultraman Blu's arm and tried to break it. This action made Ultraman Blu, transformed by Minato Isami, scream repeatedly.
If he hadn't been strengthened after transforming into Ultraman, Ultraman Blu would have been beaten to a pulp and suffered multiple fractures within half a minute.
But after a round of fighting, Minato Isami was also severely battered.
As the red light came on, he was directly beaten back to his human form.
Masaki Keigo turned off the machine, took out Ultraman Rosso's transformation device, and walked to the two brothers.
Six soldiers who had transformed back into humans from Ultraman stood behind him. They had already obtained their transformation devices. They looked different, the only common point was that they all had the double-headed eagle emblem. The first transformation was complete, and they no longer needed to endure the previous pain to continue transforming into Ultraman.
"Now, you have two choices. The first is to join the Imperium like me, pledge allegiance to the Holy Emperor, fight to protect humanity, and strive to make humanity the strongest race in all the heavens and universes. The second is for me to take your transformation devices and let you go back to that pathetic clothing store, living a lifetime of obscurity."
Masaki Keigo looked at the two, "Make your choice. With one choice, you will achieve fame and success, become heroes of humanity, and even if you retire later and make clothes, you will still be admired by thousands of people. With the other choice, you will only live a lifetime of obscurity, making clothes for others, and perhaps never even having your own brand."
"Do you think we will yield?"
Minato Katsumi said.
"Actually, brother, what he said is not without reason. This might also be an opportunity to realize our ambitions."
Minato Isami, lying on the ground, said. He had already experienced being surrounded and attacked by six Ultramans.
Imagine, if monsters appeared, and a bunch of Ultramans rushed up and ganged up on them, what monster could withstand that??
"How can you say that, Isami."
Minato Katsumi looked at his brother in disbelief. Just now, he was angry and wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but now he had softened.
"His idea is right, no one can resist the era. Going against the flow will only make you drift along in obscurity. Join the Imperium, pledge allegiance to the Holy Emperor, and you will have greater ambitions. Think about it, are you really willing? Your inventions and creations, no one recognizes, no one cares. Living a lifetime in obscurity, is that really what you are pursuing, Isami?"
Masaki Keigo possessed great leadership charisma.
His words were full of temptation and power.
He could hit people's weaknesses with just a few words.
Minato Isami had been obsessed with various inventions and creations since he was a child, but no one had ever recognized him.
Even the monster detector from not long ago, his brother and father thought he was fooling around and doing nothing.
Masaki Keigo knew exactly how to deal with such people.
"We can't beat them. Instead of having our transformation devices taken away, it's better to pretend to agree for now."
Minato Isami changed his words to convince his brother.
If they resorted to violence now, they would only suffer losses.
"Okay, I agree to your terms. Can you give me back my transformation device then?"
Minato Katsumi stood up and said.
Minato Katsumi didn't quite believe that the other party would return the transformation device that he had put so much effort into taking.
He wanted to show his brother clearly that such a person could not be trusted.
But what Minato Katsumi didn't expect was that Masaki Keigo directly gave him the transformation device in his hand.
He was about to say something.
A piercing alarm sounded.
Monsters had appeared on Earth again.
