Chapter 155 Ebolon Cells
Ryosuke Sanada, or rather, Ryosuke whose body was being completely taken over by the Ebron cells, was stumbling through a passage lined with high-voltage cables.
His eyes had completely lost their human appearance, turning a bluish color, and even veins were spreading across his skin.
"Electricity...give me electricity..."
Ryosuke let out a wail.
That hunger and thirst were tearing his nervous system apart.
He lunged toward the main high-voltage transformer, ignoring the tens of thousands of volts of high voltage that could instantly kill an ordinary person, and the exposed cables on his hands.
The electric current passed through his entire body in an instant.
The high-voltage electricity raged wildly inside Ryosuke's body, but instead of being destroyed, his body began to expand rapidly at a speed that defied the laws of biology, and his skin began to keratinize, turning into something resembling a monster.
Meanwhile, in the woods surrounding the power station.
"A sudden drop in voltage inside the tidal power station was detected, and a powerful energy reaction is erupting on the surface! The entire region has begun to experience widespread power outages."
Horii was holding the monster tracker he had developed, staring at the pointer on the screen, his hands trembling uncontrollably. He couldn't believe that Ryosuke had really turned into a monster.
Beside him, Daigo, Shinjo, and Kaul stood quietly by the sea, having already changed into their team uniforms.
Daigo, with a Hyper gun at his waist, stared at the power plant in front of him, which was trembling violently amidst electric sparks.
"Advisor... Ryosuke, has he already started to turn into a monster?" Daigo asked in a low voice.
"Once the Ebloon cells absorb enough high-voltage electrical energy, they will forcibly catalyze the host's body structure to support the output of that enormous energy." Caul put his hands in his pockets, expressionless. He didn't have much sympathy for people who altered their bodies and conducted such bizarre experiments.
Not to mention that it has already had a significant impact on human society.
However, one thing he said made sense: he conducted experiments for the sake of humanity. Although we don't know what his true intentions were, he did provide humanity with new material, which will allow for safer experiments with Eberon cells in the future.
"For Ryosuke Sanada now, there is no way out. He can either be destroyed here as a monster, or he can slowly die in the pain of running out of electricity."
Daigo gritted his teeth, reached into his clothes, and gripped the Spark Lens he had snatched back.
But his heart was filled with unprecedented pain and hesitation.
He already knew that Ebron's true identity was Sanada Ryosuke, a friend of Hori.
As the inheritor of light, his duty is to eliminate the darkness that destroys the earth. But when faced with a fellow human being who has gone astray simply because of inferiority and prejudice and is now wailing in pain, how can he aim the ray of destruction at him?
"Daigo, power is neither good nor evil, but those who inherit it are." Kaul saw Daigo's hesitation and supported all of Daigo's decisions.
"Masaki Keigo used power as a bargaining chip to flaunt his divine status, which is why he was temporarily abandoned by Daga. Sanada Ryosuke used power as a tool to overcome mediocrity, which is why he was consumed by power. Now that you have regained the Spark Lens, you must find your own guardian in this battle."
Just as Kaul was speaking, an explosion suddenly erupted from the ruins of the power plant ahead!
A colossal monster, fifty-three meters tall and with an extremely hideous face, emerged from the flames of the ruins.
Alien Evolution Monster, Ebloon!
"Ryosuke..."
When Hori saw the monster, the instruments in his hands fell to the ground.
He collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face, unable to accept that this was the same proud genius who had tormented him into a monster.
Ebron let out a roar.
Its enormous eyes flashed with blue light, and with a wave of its right hand, it instantly sliced the remaining transmission towers of the power plant in half!
"Daigo! Shinjo! Don't attack it! It's Ryosuke! It's a human!" Horii shouted.
"Hokuji, calm down! It's already moving towards the city. If we don't stop it, thousands of innocent civilians will be caught in the crossfire!" Shinjo knew that the other party was human, but his duty as a member of the GUTS team made him draw his gun and fire.
The Victory team members were temporarily embroiled in an argument just as Eberon was about to head towards the nearby resort and city.
Suddenly, an unexpected person appeared in the sky.
A giant of light, 54 meters tall and entirely silver-gray, flew in from afar and crashed directly onto the ground.
Ultraman Daga!
Meanwhile, inside Daga's body, Masaki Keigo was watching Ebloon roar.
For the past few days, Masaki Keigo has been working almost non-stop in his laboratory in Kumamoto City, analyzing the data of the remaining ancient giants, including Daga.
He heard that monsters in Kitagawa City were frequently absorbing electricity. Overconfident and wanting to show off his power, he used the light particle converter to force himself to transform again, and even Daga's attempts to stop him were futile.
"A poorly made failure, without its own beliefs, will become a monster."
Masaki Keigo's voice rang out through telekinesis: "Sanada Ryosuke... I've heard of you. In your quest to surpass Hori, you were foolish enough to transplant those low-level alien parasitic cells into your own body? Is this your so-called evolution? This is utter blasphemy against human science!"
Daga stepped forward.
"Since you cannot control this power and have become this mindless monster that only consumes electricity, then I, the true god, will carry out the final execution of you, this failure, before all of humanity!"
Before he finished speaking, Daga leaped up and delivered a powerful punch to Ebloon's head!
"No!!" the well-digger cried out in despair from the ground.
Just as Dagana's sure-fire punch was about to blow Eberon's head apart!
A beam of white light burst forth from the beach.
Amidst the light, the giants, adorned with red, purple, and silver hues, instantly traversed hundreds of meters to stand in front of Ebloon.
It's Ultraman Tiga!
Tiga crossed his arms in front of his chest and used his body to take the full force of Daga's punch.
"Tiga?!" Masaki Keigo, transformed into Tiga, was thrown back several steps by the recoil.
When he saw the giant blocking his way, he displayed disbelief and anger: "You, as Ultraman... you actually attacked me for this monster that's out of control and even wants to destroy the power plant? Don't you understand that all monsters should be defeated! They only come to attack the city at a certain time!"
