Ultraman Dia

Chapter 220 Endless Battle

Another day of battle.

Geed unleashed another beam of light, killing the monster before him. He was utterly exhausted by this point.

During this time, monsters relentlessly wreaked havoc around the city, forcing him to engage in battles.

But strangely, the monster appears at almost the same time every time, always fixed at 5:30 in the morning.

This was tough on Asakura Riku, who had to get up at 5 a.m. every day to fight the monster. Although he eventually won, he couldn't sleep at all.

This kind of life is too tiring for a child.

The Dia team members and Zero will also help him fight the monster, but in reality, the noise from their battle directly affects the surrounding environment, causing many civilians to complain.

There's nothing that can be done about this; apart from Ling Tian and Man Youyou, who can open their domains to fight, no one else has any way to minimize the noise.

Moreover, the monsters appearing every day are different, all sorts of bizarre and unpredictable things. It's hard to imagine what motivates them to keep appearing one after another.

Ling Tian felt this was just a waste of time, while Man Youyou gave up after a few tries. Since she couldn't kill it anyway, she might as well rest.

"I'm so sleepy..."

Because of the monster, Xiao Lu also felt extremely tired; he felt like he was constantly yawning.

Exhausted, he simply lay in bed and listened to the news broadcast.

"Because of the recent surge in monsters, many people have begun to wonder whether the Ultra Warriors possess the ability to defeat them."

The others didn't react much to these words, but Xiao Lu was unhappy; subconsciously, he still strongly resisted being spoken to like that.

Ling Tian comforted him, saying, "Alright, the monster is indeed a problem, but it's not as bad as you think."

Wild Wing then opened his notebook: "Speaking of which, I've been studying the battles over this period, and I'll give you a general summary."

The first one to appear was Garamon, which Geed defeated using his original form.

The next day, Bemstar appeared. Considering its ability to absorb light, Geed defeated it using his Steel Flame Mode.

On the third day, Gomora appeared. During the battle, it showed signs of cowardice, seemingly awakened by someone. It was later persuaded to leave by Geed's clever form.

On the fourth day, Geed encountered a strong Tyrant, which he couldn't defeat using Primal, Steelburn, or Agile forms. He then used Valor form to defeat it.

The monsters that followed were all extremely difficult to deal with. Considering his stamina, Riku had been fighting using the power of Ultraman King. Do you understand what I mean?

This idea coincided with Ling Tian's: "These monsters were released to test our strength, so the longer we delay, the more the enemy will understand us."

For this reason, Lingtian almost never allowed the Dia team to fight anymore, because if they continued to fight, the enemy would gain a deeper and deeper understanding of them.

"Xiao Lu had no choice; in fact, it was inevitable that his data would be taken away. That's why we need to understand these things even more...?"

The monster's roar echoed outside again, and everyone instinctively looked at the clock.

Someone whispered, "...Ten o'clock?"

After a brief silence, everyone went mad.

"What are you doing!"

"Didn't they say 5:30? How come they're saying 10:00 now?!"

Wild Wings lowered his head in frustration: "Are you kidding me...?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Xiao Lu quickly waved his hand and said, "I need 20 hours between transformations."

Ling Tian stood up: "I'll go."

Dia quickly defeated the monster, but Ling Tian was nowhere to be found.

Xiao Lu was already feeling a bit annoyed, so he immediately made an excuse to go out and find him.

Ling Tian was unharmed, but he was holding a blue crystal and seemed lost in thought.

"Lingtian, why aren't you going back?"

Ling Tian snapped out of his reverie upon hearing the voice: "Little Lu? Look at this!"

Xiao Lu took the crystal and gently squeezed it. He didn't know what material it was made of; it felt cool and a little hard.

"what is this?"

"These are fragments of that monster from earlier. Did you notice anything?"

After staring at the fragments for a long time, Xiao Lu suddenly realized: "The monsters from before didn't have any fragments after they were defeated!"

"That's right, those monsters didn't have any fragments before, but we all overlooked that fact. It seems there's something fishy about the monsters we defeated before!"

Ling Tian exerted a little force, and the fragment in his hand quickly melted, turning into a puddle of water that flowed down.

"This thing seems to be able to turn into a liquid state, as long as the temperature is high enough. If nothing unexpected happens, this monster should return soon!"

Hearing Ling Tian say this, Xiao Lu couldn't hold back any longer: "Not again!"

……

"Using this method to annoy them, you really know how to do it!"

"It's just a little bit of cleverness, and I don't expect to defeat these Ultra Warriors with such methods."

He originally intended for the monster to attack very early, so that he could test the strength of the Dia team and also disrupt their rest.

But Ling Tian was more cautious than they thought; such tricks wouldn't fool the Dia team at all.

"Although we've fought them a few times, we've always had a vague understanding of their true strength. Belial has been captured now, and he can no longer provide us with any new information."

The Star of Strom is about to descend, and if they can't find information on the Dia team soon, they'll definitely be in a very passive position.

"It's alright, I think you're overestimating Ling Tian a bit."

Fukui's dismissive attitude displeased Xu Guanghui, who always trusted his intuition.

However, he didn't want to clash with Fukui, so he didn't say anything.

"Hmm... alright, let's wait and see. Anyway, it's been so long, they should have guessed what this farce was going to happen. Even though they only collected Geed's combat data, it's still some information."

……

"A monster without fragments...you mean an illusion?"

Many people were skeptical, after all, the illusion was too realistic.

Only Ye Youyi and Man Youyou fell into deep thought; to them, this conjecture was actually plausible.

"If I remember correctly, the previous kidnapping involved the use of a mutant beast capable of concealing its identity, right?"

Man Youyou nodded slightly. That time, the Dia team hadn't noticed anything unusual; they had only relied on their intuition to make their judgment.

Even Man Youyou, who was most familiar with alien beasts, had to go to great lengths to identify the alien beast's scent, which is enough to prove that this alien beast was already a master of disguise.

"Disguise can be identified by scent, but what if the alien beast with this ability to disguise itself also has the ability to create illusions and confuse the senses?"
