The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

Regardless of how TPC deals with the high-ranking officials of the Space Development Agency afterward, the most important thing now is to stop this disaster from spreading.

At this point, Munakata no longer expects to be able to resolve this incident perfectly.

"Ye Rui, notify the Lebanese military and have them deploy aircraft to cooperate with Flying Swallow No. 1 in the annihilation operation."

"In addition, TPC should deploy ground troops to block all possible escape routes and advance gradually toward the city center."

Calm and decisive, Munakata quickly changed his course of action after realizing that the situation was hopeless.

As a result, over a considerable period of time, hundreds of aircraft appeared over the city to carry out extermination operations against the still-spreading and expanding Ebloon individuals.

In addition, TPC, already aware of the crisis, had already prepared to abandon the entire city.

If necessary, even at the cost of the entire city, these terrifying mutated creatures must be completely destroyed.

For this purpose, countless military satellites in the Earth's atmosphere are ready.

If the Victory Team's operation fails, Beirut will be completely wiped off the face of the earth.

Chapter 262 The Second Mutation

The industrial park of Gaia Corporation, the place where Ryosuke Sanada died.

Lu Xuan, transformed into a nine-tailed fox, looked up at the sky.

Whether it's the fighter jets roaring past or the angry, howling Ebloon individuals, they have all become the main theme of this city.

As someone who witnessed things unfold to this point firsthand, Lu Xuan still had some unresolved questions in his mind.

"Where did Sanada Ryosuke's body go?"

When the nine-tailed fox murmured in such a low voice, Tomoko immediately gave the answer.

"The rat took away Sanada Ryosuke's body, and it's not clear why it did so."

As the first Eberon individual to complete its evolution, the artificial-eyed rat's every move carries a profound meaning that is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

This is also why the Nine-Tailed Fox has been hesitant to take action to limit the spread of this disaster.

Zhizi indeed cannot reveal his existence.

But Lu Xuan isn't Zhi Zi; he has countless aliases who can step forward to resolve this trouble.

Even if we can't completely eliminate the Ebloon individuals in the end, it won't be a problem to significantly limit their numbers.

However, the strange behavior of the prosthetic-eyed rat led the nine-tailed fox to choose to continue observing.

"So Ryosuke Sanada really did inject himself with Ebron cells too..."

"And it's most likely not normal Ebron cells; it's either the original or an enhanced version..."

Only in this way can the bizarre behavior of the eye-blind rat be explained.

"That rat wants to evolve further, to become the natural enemy of all life on Earth."

Taking over from the nine-tailed fox, Tomoko gave an unexpected yet reasonable answer.

Whether intentional or unintentional, the Ebloon cells modified by Ryosuke Sanada are definitely not the original Cosmic Cells.

Tomoko does not deny Ryosuke Sanada's wisdom, but the improved Ebloon cells obviously cannot be more perfect than the original.

After all, the former is merely the wisdom of an individual, while the latter is very likely the culmination of a civilization.

"indeed so!"

The nine-tailed fox nodded slightly and said calmly.

"Instead of letting the danger remain hidden, it's better to detonate the latent crisis in advance."

"In this way, we can not only understand the nature of Eblon cells, but also give TPC a deeper understanding of these cosmic cells."

"At that time, even if someone wants to replicate the Ebloon individual, they will probably have to consider the risks involved."

It must be admitted that the nine-tailed fox's actions are very dangerous.

Gambling with the lives of an entire city's population is a choice that Daigo would absolutely never make.

But the nine-tailed fox knew that this was the only way to solve the problem once and for all.

Only in this way can we give maximum warning to institutions and individuals who covet these cosmic cells.

Ultimately, this is because Ebron cells exist in the form of atlases.

Simply destroying existing Ebloon individuals is insufficient to prevent their creation at the source.

Is this what humanity is like?

"A race that can only learn from experience?"

Shaking her head again in denial of Zhizi's statement, the nine-tailed fox murmured softly.

"Even having witnessed the terrifying nature of Ebloon cells, humanity cannot give up this 'shortcut' to the universe."

"The difference is that if the price paid this time is high enough, humans will be more cautious when studying Ebloon cells in the future."

......................................................................................................

Leaving aside the human reaction, the proliferation of Ebloon individuals has indeed reached a certain level.

In particular, the prosthetic-eyed rat, who was the "first test subject," had already brought Ryosuke Sanada's body to Beirut's largest renewable energy power plant.

The black cat, which had been lurking there for a long time, merely gave the other party a cold glance.

It arrived here an hour earlier than the artificial-eyed rat, making it the second batch of Ebloon individuals to complete awakening after the latter.

Furthermore, compared to other Ebloon individuals, the black cat, having absorbed a sufficient amount of electricity, has evolved to a far greater stage and degree than them.

"Meow!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the black cat turned around and prepared to leave.

The black cat, which had already evolved advanced intelligence, knew that even if the electricity here was plentiful, it would eventually be besieged by humans.

The arrival of the prosthetic-eyed rat will surely bring disaster, and what I need to do is leave this place as soon as possible—before those humans arrive.

"squeak!"

The prosthetic-eyed rat also noticed the black cat's departure, but simply lowered its head slightly and made no attempt to stop it.

Although they were also experimental subjects of Ebloon cells, and although they possessed intelligence far exceeding that of their kind...

However, the prosthetic-eyed mouse is ultimately different from the black cat.

The black cat wanted to live, to live at all costs.

The artificial-eyed rat had long since disregarded its own life and death; it wanted to avenge the white ape and make the entire human world taste the pain of the Eblon individual.

Even if it means sacrificing one's life, even if it means eternal damnation, it is all worthwhile.

There is no inherent superiority or inferiority between the actions of the black cat and the prosthetic-eyed mouse; at most, they can simply be considered two different choices.

"Squeak..."

Watching the black cat's departing figure, the prosthetic-eyed rat swallowed Sanada Ryosuke's corpse without hesitation the next second.

In an instant, clumps of hideous tumors grew out of the artificial-eyed rat's body.

That is a mutation and aberration of genes, evidence that the prosthetic-eyed mouse is undergoing a second mutation.

"Squeak..."

Painful cries emanated from the prosthetic-eyed rat's mouth, but more so from its reckless madness and unwavering determination.

The primitive Ebloon cells constantly collided with the incomplete Ebloon cells in the prosthetic-eye mouse.

These two homologous cells exhibited astonishing exclusivity at this moment.

Distortion, alienation, mutation, adaptation, evolution...

Just like the white ape before, the Ebloon cells in the prosthetic-eyed mouse underwent another qualitative transformation, leading to a new round of awakening in other Ebloon individuals.

However, this is far from enough; the size of the artificial-eyed rat simply cannot support this level of evolution.

Having anticipated this, it immediately turned around and plunged into the nearby new energy power generation equipment, intending to extract more energy from it.

sizzle...

This time, the sparks lit up half the sky.

Fighter jets patrolling nearby immediately noticed the unusual situation.

Immediately afterwards, a group of three fighter jets flew in this direction and, disregarding the potential damage to the city, dropped several incendiary bombs.

Chapter 263 Galvin Burst Form!

tumultuous!

Accompanied by the blazing, towering flames.

The Ebloon individuals scattered throughout the city seemed to be thoroughly enraged, and they launched a fierce attack on the fighter jets in the sky.

The fighter jet group, led by the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, retaliated without showing any weakness.

This is where TPC’s amazing appeal was demonstrated.

The entire fighter jet group was engaged in combat over the city, while the civilians on the ground below had already taken shelter in various air defense facilities and were not greatly affected.

Moreover, ground forces are even actively hunting down other Eberon individuals that have not evolved the ability to fly.

In an instant, the entire city became a battlefield between the army and the individual Ebloon.

This chaotic scene continued until the flames that filled the sky gradually died down.

The new energy power plant, which had been ignited by incendiary bombs, burst into flames again, replacing the raging fire at a visible speed.

Or more precisely, something in the center of the flames is absorbing their power.

Lightning, flames, explosions, sound waves...

It's like an endless black hole, greedily devouring all the energy it can reach.

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters, fifty meters...

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the prosthetic-eyed rat rapidly swelled to the size of a true monster.

At this moment, the prosthetic-eyed rat could no longer be recognized as its original form.

It lay prostrate on the ground like a giant beast, its wings suddenly spreading wide, and thorny bone spikes resembling a crown sprouting from its head...

The only remaining original feature of this monster is probably its prosthetic eye, which emits a cold, mechanical light.

The artificial-eyed rat... to be precise, it should be called the Eberon Monster.

"hold head high!"

Then, the monster Ebloon let out a long howl.

The other Ebron individuals in the city seemed to have heard a summons and rushed towards the Ebron monster like moths to a flame.

Then, an even more shocking scene unfolded.

The individual Ebron plunged into the body of the Ebron monster and were directly absorbed and assimilated.

Each time an Ebron individual is assimilated, the corresponding characteristic will appear on the Ebron monster.

These characteristics include, but are not limited to, the features of the prototype, as well as the advantageous traits and extraordinary abilities that have been re-evolved.

Just like Typhon, the king of beasts in Greek mythology.

The Ebloon monster exhibited the characteristics and abilities of various wild beasts, just like the true king of beasts.

......................................................................................................

"I knew it, a monster would eventually appear."

Seeing that her guess had been confirmed, the nine-tailed fox seemed somewhat helpless.

Compared to the monsters she had encountered before, the Nine-Tailed Fox was now certain that the Ebloon monster in front of her did not appear in the Ultraman Tiga series.

Possessing the characteristics and power of all beasts...
