"This is... Natsuki-sensei's power!"
Standing on the seawater ice surface, Reno Ichikawa felt the ocean's violent tremors. Towering waves rose on the sea surface. Plasma clouds ascended into the sky. Even changing this area's climate.
Seeing this environment-altering power with a wave of the hand, he realized—during the previous Tachikawa Base battle, Natsuki-sensei absolutely hadn't used full strength.
This is... from a civilization far surpassing humanity, possessing power to traverse the universe without any spacecraft—Ultraman!
Facing this even more fierce tsunami, Reno Ichikawa's human-sized body appeared especially tiny.
He clenched his fists. Kaiju No. 6's flesh tissue within the suit further activated. Surging energy dissipated across his body surface. Formed strands of lightning.
Even his eyes were covered by white energy.
His entire energy field was climbing steadily. Feet left the ice surface and floated. Cold air approaching absolute zero gradually manifested.
While the suit brought power, it also interfered with his brain.
Countless chaotic memories flashed through his mind.
But the scene frozen in his mind—
Was when breaking through human limits with body damaged, a figure placed a hand on his forehead. Brought warm healing. Smiled and said: "That resolute will in your heart can let you surpass anyone."
"You were never ordinary. At least in my eyes... you're a brilliantly shining excellent warrior."
"Your heart is the most powerful thing about you."
The power of those words helped him resist the suit's interference.
Energy on his body completely released. Full Combat Power Release!
"Please fight without restraint!"
"Everyone on the ground... I'll protect them!" Reno Ichikawa roared. Output all energy through both arms toward the towering tsunami. Any seawater contacting this energy all became white solid ice.
Absolute cold air swept through. A tsunami capable of destroying cities was stopped. Even froze Kaiju in the seawater together.
"Reno Ichikawa... truly has surpassed us."
"Truly terrifying power."
Soshiro Hoshina stood on the ice surface. Felt this deadly cold air. Looked at the surrounding seawater that had become ice walls. Spoke with emotion.
When this youth first said he'd surpass all captains, most people didn't believe it. Considered it the youth's unrealistic ideal.
Now it seemed they were all wrong.
That Natsuki guy didn't show favoritism during training. Precisely because this youth worked harder and more desperately than everyone—achieved surpassing them in such short time.
"Well done, Ichikawa!"
"Now resolving them will be much easier!"
Kaiju Kafka clasped both hands. Leaped onto an ice pillar. Aimed at the Kaiju frozen inside struggling. Smashed down hard!
"BOOM!!"
The thick ice pillar completely shattered. The Kaiju inside also smashed into fragments by this force. Fell below together with ice shards.
Defense Force morale greatly improved in this round of combat.
"ROOOAR!!"
Leviathan endured the Spacium Beam's high temperature. Ultimately an ocean sovereign. One Spacium Beam couldn't directly kill it.
It twisted its body. Used more resilient outer skin to resist the beam.
Simultaneously gathered energy. Prepared to find opportunity to counterattack.
But the giant directly stopped the beam output. This area's cavity rapidly filled with boiling seawater.
Bright eyes watched this massive sea beast.
Hands formed palms. Brilliant energy condensed and rotated between palms. Gathered into two light wheels.
The rotating light wheels stirred the just-arrived seawater. Formed two seabed whirlpools. As the light wheels expanded, the two whirlpools also expanded. Completely a spectacle impossible to naturally replicate.
"This thing... is Ultraman?"
"You're kidding!"
No longer bombarded by the Spacium Beam, Leviathan finally temporarily escaped the pain of being in an inferno. Massive eyes stared at the giant diagonally above. Saw those dazzling Eight-Section Light Wheels. Heart felt dread.
Even from far away could feel that terrifying power.
This Ultraman differs too much from my impression!
What happened to only wrestling Kaiju on the ground, at most breaking a few buildings?
You sure this kind of beam can be released in cities?
This kind of power... this swift and decisive combat style—doesn't look like Ultraman at all!
Which Ultraman opens with their ultimate?
No casting animation at all. Raises hand and fires. Doesn't give me reaction time!
Can't catch my breath, bro!
Me, a grade-ten-plus Kaiju sovereign, have no face at all. Is this right?
Putting an Ultraman in the Kaiju No. 8 world—is this right?
Ultraman appearing in reality—why so broken!
Too overpowered!
No wait... that move purifying and restoring most Kaiju is even more broken. This is a mechanic monster!
Combining both stats and mechanics—what garbage matchmaking system is this!
"ROOOAR!!"
Leviathan released an angry roar. One Spacium Beam made it recognize reality. It was protesting this battle's unfairness.
And before it could take further action—
The giant holding two Eight-Section Light Wheels already flew before it.
Drilled straight into its abyssal maw.
Even if it closed its mouth, the other forcibly sawed open an opening.
"ROOO—AAAAH!!"
Not long after—
The giant broke through from the thousand-meter beast's belly.
Hand grasped a differently colored circular core. Light pulsed on it like a heartbeat.
"One resolved."
"Next, truly charging into enemy territory." Natsuki waved and tossed this core toward the sea surface.
Then bright eyes looked toward the seabed crack.
"BOOM!!"
Form rapidly charged downward. Extreme-speed movement formed cavities around the body.
Facing those Kaiju guarding near the crack—
Arms crossed before chest. Sharp energy accumulated. As arms spread up and down, a massive crescent-shaped light blade erupted.
"WOOM!!"
This Vertical Guillotine sacrificed power for greater size.
A guillotine with diameter of several thousand meters chopped straight into the abyss. Illuminated this seabed area.
Even a power-reduced guillotine wasn't something ordinary Kaiju in this world could resist. Those Kaiju created by enemies contacted this massive light blade—directly became fragments. Floated on the seabed.
The red-silver giant charged into the crack. Advanced toward the fault space.
Soon, the remaining two will realize—who's truly the hunter.
