People in Ultraman: Beginning Plunder and Fusion

Episode 43: The Fog Arrives

As time passed, the city gradually returned to its former tranquility. People began to forget the monsters that had once brought them fear and destruction. The streets were once again filled with laughter and joy, and people's lives returned to normal.

However, behind this tranquility lies a secret unknown to others.

That is, the disappearance of these monsters was actually the result of a man named Masaki Keigo using a shrinking gun to capture the monsters, all in order to provide energy for Mechanical Tiga.

At this moment, Duo Lue, who was in the Green Membrane Hotel, was dumbfounded and said, "Huh, why haven't so many monsters appeared? Is it because my time travel changed some things, causing many monsters to no longer appear? Or is it because I hurt someone? Is that person preparing to develop some unknown and powerful weapon?"

Right now, Daigo and the other six members of the GUTS team, along with their commander, are lying on the beach, enjoying the warmth of the sun, getting a tan, or simply relaxing.

They also posted it on the news, telling everyone that the Victory Team was on vacation. At this time, Duolue also saw it on the news, and it seems that this time the monster that appeared will be left to him to deal with.

While they were leisurely on vacation, Masaki Keigo of the GUTS team was still working in the research lab, working on his inventions.

While the Victory team was still chatting leisurely, Shinjo said, "Daigo, keep an eye on Horii next to you. He's been dumped by his girlfriend again recently."

Hori immediately walked to the side of the new town and said, "Mind your own business. You must have the charm potion. Unfortunately, I don't have the strength to make it. Oh, and there's also Masaki Keigo in the base."

However, Masaki Keigo spends most of his time outside with his shrinking gun, looking for monsters to catch, before heading to the secret base beneath the base's research lab to perfect his mechanical Tiga.

Masaki Keigo's behavior demonstrates his dedication and planning towards his goals. He spends most of his time searching for and capturing monsters, which shows his commitment and determination to the Evolution Giant Project.

His actions could have a significant impact on the direction of the story, especially in his interactions with other characters, such as Daigo and Douluo.

Digui immediately contacted Masaki Keigo, who was still at the base, via video. Masaki Keigo quickly returned to the research lab and explained, "This potion is extracted from the genes of field mice. These are monogamous animals. Just pour the potion into the machine, add your own DNA, and you only need a single hair. Finally, once you apply it to someone else, you will become attracted to them."

Hori's gratitude to Masaki Keigo reflects Masaki Keigo's status and influence within the GUTS team.

His scientific talent and hard work earned him recognition and appreciation from his teammates, a positive image that contrasts sharply with his clandestine activities, adding complexity and depth to the story.

The Victory Team's vacation at the beach reveals another side of them as a fighting team.

Their relaxation and indifference to recent events may be a release from the long, intense combat life, or it may be a sign of trust in Masaki Keigo's abilities.

Since no monsters had appeared for so many days, the GUTS team didn't pay attention to the recent events and continued their wonderful beach trip.

The scene shifts to Duolue's side. He's heard that the Space Observation Center still hasn't been able to contact him, possibly due to the meteorite that struck a week ago, causing severe radio interference.

Duolue exclaimed excitedly, "Finally, a monster has appeared! It seems this time it's the parasitic monster Magnia. It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles. The fog is coming!"

Because Magnia is shrouded in thick fog and has many annoying parasitic spheres, Masaki Keigo was unable to capture him and had to abandon the mission. However, he was still targeted by the thieves.

Ezaki Mitsuru's steps seemed particularly heavy on the mountain path. She had always been a person who liked to be alone, but today, her mood seemed heavier than usual.

Her gaze fell on a father and daughter not far away, who were talking intimately, their laughter echoing in the air.

This scene reminded her of her childhood and the happy times she spent with her father.

However, as time has passed, those beautiful memories have become blurred.

She shook her head, trying to banish those memories from her mind, but the emptiness in her heart only grew stronger.

As Ezaki continued her journey, she didn't notice that the clouds in the sky were gradually thickening. When she came to a riverbank, suddenly, a thick fog rolled in, reducing visibility to almost zero.

Startled, she instinctively quickened her pace, trying to find a way out.

However, the more she walked, the more lost she became, as if she had fallen into an endless maze. Fear and despair spread through her heart, and she couldn't help but let out a piercing scream.

"ah!"

Just then, the teleportation technique appeared. Relying on his memories of the original storyline, he quickly found a small house. However, when he pushed open the door, he found it empty.

A sense of foreboding washed over him; it seemed the residents had been taken over by the parasitic sphere. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

Duo Lue calmly opened the door and walked out of the house. Suddenly, a woman rushed up to him and touched Duo Lue's shoulders with both hands, saying...

"Fog, the fog is coming." Then he fainted. The woman in front of him was Ezaki Mitsuru.

Duolue helped Jiang Qiman teleport back to the small house next door. He opened a wormhole and took out a Life Tree Healing Fruit from his storage space, but did not heal her first.

Then, realizing something, Duolue opened the system's storage space and picked a large number of healing fruits from the Tree of Life. Anyway, the Tree of Life would grow new fruits soon after picking them.

Because he wanted to conduct an experiment to see if he could deal with the future puppet army.

"Thank you for saving me," said Mitsuaki Ezaki.

Ezaki said, "I was about to walk towards this mountain when suddenly a strange fog appeared."

Ezaki Mitsuru looked at the clothes on Doroki's body. They weren't from the GUTS team either. They looked like ordinary people. He said with disappointment, "We are all ordinary people. We have to find a way to leave."

Duolue gently pounded his chest with his right hand and said confidently, "It's alright, I can protect you."

Ezaki Man shrugged and said disdainfully, "You? You're not from the GUTS team, and you're not Tiga, Dark Tiga, or Evil Tiga. Don't joke around. Let's figure out how to escape."

Suddenly, a large group of puppets, controlled by parasitic spheres, appeared outside.

Ezaki Mitsuru trembled involuntarily, his knees buckled, and he cried out in fear, "Ah! Run away quickly!"

At this moment, Duolue remained calm and activated his spacetime ability.

A wormhole appeared on the head of each puppet outside, and a healing fruit fell from each wormhole and entered its body. The wormhole disappeared, and the puppets were saved.

Ezaki Mitsuru's surprise was palpable; his eyes were wide as he stared at Duolue beside him, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.

His voice trembled slightly as he asked, "What kind of power is this?"

However, Duolue did not answer his question. His face was expressionless, his eyes deep, as if he were thinking about something.

Ezaki Mitsuru felt uneasy; he didn't know what Duolue was thinking.

Just then, Mitsuru Ezaki suddenly noticed that some parasitic spheres remained on the bodies of those who had been healed by the exploitation. Their eyes were empty, as if they had lost their souls.

Ezaki was startled; he immediately understood what had happened. These people had just been rescued, but the parasitic sphere had taken control of them again, turning them into puppets.

Duolue also witnessed this scene. He closed his eyes and touched his forehead. His voice carried a hint of helplessness and disappointment.

He said, "The experiment failed. As long as the parasite balls are still there, there's no point in me using my healing fruit to save them."

Ezaki Mitsuru looked at Duolue, his heart filled with doubt. He didn't understand why Duolue possessed such power, nor did he understand why he couldn't completely heal these people.

Left with no other choice, Duolue could only open a huge wormhole and trap all these puppets inside his vortex space.

In order to protect Ezaki Mitsuru's safety, Duolue teleported her down the mountain and used time reversal to erase Ezaki Mitsuru's memories of climbing the mountain, including meeting Duolue.

After getting rid of this burden, Duolue teleported back to the small house on the mountain.

Duolue resolutely stepped out of the small house, his gaze sharp as an eagle, continuing his search for the monster Magnia.

He knew that this monster was crucial to him, not only because of its immense power, but also because it might hold the key to solving the parasite problem.

During his search, he suddenly encountered a group of flying monsters, which were also covered in parasite balls.

These little monsters let out piercing screams and launched an attack on Duolue.

However, Duolue remained calm and observed the monsters' movements, searching for the best strategy to deal with them.

Just then, Douluo suddenly transformed into a miniature version of Blackie, gripping the Orb Holy Sword tightly in his hand.

His movements were swift and precise; with flashes of sword light, the little monsters were defeated one by one. His swordsmanship was like art, each swing filled with power and beauty.

With the last little monster defeated, Duolue breathed a sigh of relief. He knew this was just a small episode in his search for Magnia, and bigger challenges were yet to come.

Suddenly, Duolue spotted a yellow light in the distance, and his heart filled with anticipation. He quickly transformed into his giant form, Black Di, and flew eagerly to the spot.

Duolue stood before the meteorite, his gaze sharp and resolute. He knew that Magnia was here, the monster absorbing the puppet's energy to grow even stronger.

Duolue knew he had to stop Magnia, but he couldn't let the fighting affect innocent people.

He took a deep breath, focused his mind, and used his special ability—the wormhole stealing. This ability could trap a target in a special vortex space, isolating them from the outside world and ensuring that the battle would not harm innocent bystanders.

Magnia sensed the threat of the theft, so it stopped absorbing energy and turned to face this new challenge.

When it saw Ultraman—Blackie—appear, a fierce glint flashed in its eyes. It knew this was a life-or-death battle.

Magnia charged at Blackie without hesitation, intending to defeat its opponent using its signature ranged electric attacks. Its body emitted powerful electrical currents, forming streaks of lightning that hurtled towards Blackie.

However, Heidi was not intimidated. He calmly observed Magnia's movements, looking for the best opportunity to respond.

Just as the electric shock was about to hit him, he suddenly used his teleportation ability to easily dodge the attack.

Magnia roared angrily, not expecting Blackie to dodge its attack. It became even more ferocious, preparing to attack again.

Blackie, on the other hand, was prepared for this tough battle.

With a deafening roar, Dark Tiga launched the first attack, his figure like a black lightning bolt, rushing straight towards Magnia.

Magnia remained calm and composed, wielding her sword of light and drawing dazzling arcs of light to deflect Dark Tiga's attacks one by one.

The collision of light and darkness generated a huge energy fluctuation, causing the entire planet to tremble.

As the battle intensified, Magnia began to use his power of light, summoning powerful beam attacks in an attempt to penetrate Dark Tiga's defenses.

However, Dark Tiga was no pushover either. He used the power of darkness to create a protective shield, deflecting the beam attack back.

The battle between the two was like an eternal struggle between light and darkness, with each clash filled with danger and uncertainty.

Because the thief already possessed the powerful Dark Tiga and Orb Holy Sword, he didn't even touch the opponent.

Duolue said, "You're too weak. Come on, Water Sword." Blackie used Orb Holy Sword to unleash a skill.

The sword was gradually enveloped in a layer of clear blue light.

Suddenly, Blackie brandished the holy sword, its tip pointing to the sky, and a blue beam of light shot out from the tip, soaring straight into the clouds.

Immediately afterward, Blackie flicked his wrist, and the holy sword drew a graceful arc in the air. The water curtain transformed, turning into countless tiny water blades that poured down like a torrential rain, fiercely attacking the enemy.

When the water comes into contact with the enemy, it bursts forth instantly, creating a powerful water pressure that submerges the enemy.

The system prompted: "Magnia's plunderable strength is 100%. Plunder?"

Duolue replied, "Yes, plunder ability activated."

Magnia disappeared and turned into a card, which automatically entered the system's card space.

He deactivated his transformation and gave Magnia to Amedron to enhance it, thus obtaining a new monster, Lightning Ray. Now, he can release electricity not only from the tentacles on his back.

He teleported back to the presidential suite in the Green Membrane Hotel to continue enjoying life.
