Chapter 87
Masaki Keigo: I am a scientist
His previous fusion and transformation into the Giant Dog of Light did not come without a price; the deep fusion with Gedi caused changes in his mental state.
Human consciousness and monstrous instincts were clashing wildly in his mind.
"I must separate!"
Masaki Keigo gritted his teeth and activated the consciousness separation device that he had prepared long ago.
A blinding white light flashed, accompanied by a heart-wrenching pain, and he finally separated his consciousness from Gedi's.
One of them, transformed into a puppy, woke up first and ran around the laboratory wagging its tail.
Masaki Keigo slowly awoke, his mind still somewhat hazy.
"Eight duck pieces!" He sat up abruptly, his eyes flashing with fury.
"It's all Lin Yu's fault that I ended up having to take the path of transforming into Gedi! The power of the giants should be mine!"
Just then, his secret base was suddenly broken into. The alarms on the outside had just sounded when a violent commotion erupted inside.
boom--
The heavy alloy door was kicked away with a thud, grazing Masaki Keigo's scalp before embedding itself in the ceiling above his head.
Masaki Keigo:..........
So is it too late to kneel down and admit your mistake now?
Lin Yu's voice then rang out.
"Yo, Masaki Keigo, long time no see."
Lin Yu walked into the base, looked at the mess on the ground and Masaki Keigo's disheveled appearance, and couldn't help but laugh, "Looks like you've had quite an exciting time."
"Lin Yu!"
Masaki Keigo sprang to his feet instantly, his face grim. "You still have the nerve to show your face to me!"
"Don't say that." Lin Yu waved his hand, but his tone became serious. "Without you, this time it might have really been dangerous."
"What?" Masaki Keigo was taken aback.
"You succeeded after all. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
Lin Yu said sincerely, "Being able to merge with the monster's consciousness while maintaining one's own identity is something even I can't do."
After all, no one can bear the existence of two consciousnesses, but fortunately, he only uses the power of the Nine Dragons for free and does not bear any risks.
Is this the world's blessing?
The world does love me, as expected.
Earth's consciousness is the home planet that can become my mother!
"Although the process was somewhat tortuous, you have indeed proven your talent. The fusion of humans and the giant hounds of light is a completely new field, and you are the pioneer of this field."
If it were just ordinary people praising him, Masaki Keigo would naturally take it for granted and accept that he is a genius.
But now it was the guy who had once stolen his giant powers who was praising him. He was also a genius, and without a doubt, this sense of satisfaction almost instantly brought Masaki Keigo to a climax.
But he remained defiant and snorted.
"Hmph, isn't this what a genius should do?"
Masaki Keigo turned his head away. "Hmph, it's you who witnessed my qualifications. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise and return the power that rightfully belongs to me?"
"Your condition won't last long, will it?" Lin Yu suddenly said.
Masaki Keigo was taken aback, and then his expression turned ugly.
Did they see my embarrassing moment just now?
"It seems you are aware of the cost of fusion."
Lin Yu walked to the lab table, picked up a test tube and examined it. "Human consciousness is limited after all. Forcibly fusing with a monster will indeed bring the risk of mental breakdown, unless the other party voluntarily reduces the weight of its own consciousness to the minimum, allowing you to completely dominate, or allowing it to completely dominate."
Like all Ultraman and their human hosts, either Ultraman's consciousness assists them, like Ginga and X, or they completely retire and hand over their bodies to their human hosts.
Like Masaki Keigo, who is evenly matched, he is quite similar to Jack. He can't transform whenever he wants. However, Gedi doesn't have much of a desire to resist, unlike Jack who is deeply bound to him and jumps off a building to provoke Jack to transform. It's either everyone dies together or they fight.
"But this also demonstrates your potential."
He put down the test tube, turned to look at Masaki Keigo, and said, "Ordinary people don't even have the chance to merge, let alone separate on their own."
Masaki Keigo remained silent for a moment before finally speaking, "What do you want to say?"
"What I'm trying to say is that you're not strong enough right now," Lin Yu said bluntly. "With just the fusion with Gedi, you simply can't handle a real crisis."
"What do you mean?" A hint of displeasure flashed in Masaki Keigo's eyes.
"I acknowledge your will, but not your combat ability." Lin Yu shook his head. "If you can't fully master Gedi's power, then everything is out of the question."
"However, if it were you..."
He then changed the subject, "As the world's most brilliant scientist, I don't think you'd stop here, would you? After all, with your godlike talent, I'm sure this won't be a problem for you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Masaki Keigo was taken aback, then the corners of his mouth turned up, which he tried to suppress but couldn't help but curl up again.
No, I have to hold back. This guy's flattery is meaningless; I am a genius after all...
The reverse psychology tactic worked!
Masaki Keigo was instantly ignited with fighting spirit.
"Don't underestimate me!" He suddenly stood up, his eyes blazing with renewed fire. "My main body is just a little weak; I only need to add some external equipment to become even stronger!"
As he spoke, he walked triumphantly to the lab bench and opened a special container.
Inside was a mass of silvery-white liquid metal, shimmering under the light, and slowly wriggling as if it were alive.
"These are remnants of the previous metallic lifeform, Apate!"
Masaki Keigo's tone was filled with pride, "Through my research, these things can be used to my advantage!"
"Oh?"
Lin Yu's eyes lit up. "Liquid metal? Interesting."
"It's not just liquid metal," Masaki Keigo explained excitedly. "It possesses the properties of shape-memory metals, allowing it to maintain any shape. More importantly, it can perfectly integrate with biological tissues!"
"If I could combine this metal with Gedi's power," his eyes gleamed with madness, "I could create a combat form unlike any I've ever seen before!"
Lin Yu nodded, secretly making plans in his mind.
Apate is indeed a good resource. If Masaki Keigo can successfully utilize it, his combat power will definitely see a qualitative improvement.
Oh my god, WarGreymon! A perfect fusion of life and machine.
"So what do you plan to do?" he asked.
"It's very simple."
Masaki Keigo sneered, "I want to create a bio-armor, with Gedi's power as the core and liquid metal as the carrier, to create a perfect combat form."
"At that time, I will not only possess the strength of a giant, but also the precision of machinery and the toughness of metal!"
"The perfect combination of the three—that's true evolution!"
Masaki Keigo became more and more excited as he spoke, and his whole being fell into a state of frenzy.
Lin Yu looked at him and couldn't help but shake his head.
He really is a mad scientist, but... he's actually quite capable.
