"Another monster has arrived!"

"I know, this guy must be the one who attacked the research institute! I said that the samples collected at the scene looked like fluff on feathers!" Ueno said. He was right before!

But no one cares about this.

"Is Taro okay?"

Something happened. Taro felt that his sternum was broken. Yes, Ultraman also has bones. For example, if someone breaks his legs, they will also break.

Of course, these are minor injuries and can be easily recovered if you have the energy - unless you don't want to recover.

But Taro didn't have enough energy. After the battle with the silkworm monster, he didn't have enough time to stand on the earth.

Volcano Bird Barton, this is the name of the new monster.

After Patton knocked Taro away, he turned his sight to the silkworm. It smelled food. And it was the most delicious food in its memory. Otherwise, it would not have woken up from its long sleep.

But Taylor did not give up.

After standing up, he faced the monster again, grabbed the strange bird that was about to take off, and threw it to the ground fiercely.

Suddenly, the earth shook!

Obviously, in Taro's opinion, this was a much more terrifying enemy than the silkworm monster.

Patton thinks so too.

"Tairo seems to be dying!"

Anyone watching the battle unfolding before their eyes would think so. Taro's energy lamp had begun to flash rapidly, a sign of severe energy shortage.

At this moment, Barton's beak dug deep into Taro's chest.

Even skin that was harder than steel was easily pierced by the giant bird's sharp beak.

It's as fragile as a bubble.

The severe pain forced Taro to let go, and Barton spewed fire from his mouth, enveloping Taro in a sea of ​​fire. That was not an ordinary flame, it would burn even Ultraman's skin. Taro was so weak that he couldn't even hold on to the light.

What caused him serious injury was not the fire but the monster's beak, which was highly poisonous.

The previous stab to his chest had already caused the poison to enter his body. His entire body began to become numb, so that the initial severe pain became numb, and his limbs also lost strength.

If the previous battle with the silkworm monster hadn't consumed too much light energy, and if the attack hadn't come so suddenly that he couldn't check it for a while...

There aren't that many "ifs," the fact is that he has lost the ability to fight.

Lost again, miserably!

Patton's beak stabbed at him again.

But this time, the beak was pinched by a hand.

"Okay, that's enough, Taro. Leave the rest to me."

This sentence made Taro lose all his will to resist. He no longer tried to hold on and disappeared on the spot.

I really hate myself for feeling at ease from the bottom of my heart.

The giant he was fighting with was replaced by another one. With Patton's brain capacity, he didn't quite understand what was happening, but this did not stop him from continuing to attack.

It has been the overlord of the food chain on this land since ancient times. It is a carnivorous creature and is born to devour all meat.

It thrust its beak at Gaia.

"I say, even if you are a creature on Earth, you won't be forgiven if you go too far."

When Barton came to his senses, his entire body was in the air. It was not because he wanted to fly, but because he was kicked hard. His body fell even farther than Taro just now. He fell headfirst halfway up the mountain.

If it were not an Earth creature, it would be greeted by a lightsaber instead of this kick.

Chapter 413 Ultra Crown

When Kotaro woke up, he found himself in ZAT Central Hospital.

Snow-white walls, snow-white sheets.

There was no one around, but the IV on the bedside shelf was still dripping fluid into him.

Perhaps the physiological indicators on the instrument were fluctuating, and soon the doctor pushed the door and entered the ward.

"How do you feel, Kotaro-kun?"

To be honest, it felt terrible. There was no part of my body that didn't hurt. Or I was numb from the pain.

"I thought I was dead."

"Haha, God will bless the ZAT team members. You have risked your lives for humanity, how could you sacrifice so easily?" said the doctor.

“How long will it take for me to be discharged from the hospital?”

"Discharged from the hospital? I personally think you'll need to stay in the hospital for at least a month, but I don't think you can stay there. I'm saying, are all of you ZAT members superhuman? You had such a serious injury, but you healed in just a few days."

"You were poisoned when you came in, and I was wondering how to detoxify you, so I just hung up some water. Hey, guess what, you got better on your own!"

"If I hadn't given you a full body checkup, I would have really suspected that you were an alien."

What could Kotaro say? He could only smile awkwardly. Although he was Taro's human body, physically, he was just an ordinary human.

As for the detoxification, Ling probably did something.

By the way, speaking of Lingye——

"Have the previous monsters been eliminated?"

"You mean the monster? It should have been destroyed. I haven't watched much news, but it's pretty peaceful now anyway."

He is just a doctor, even though he is a doctor at ZAT Central Hospital, and he doesn't care about monsters.

Not only the doctor didn't know, but after learning that Kotaro had woken up, Araki, Kitajima and others rushed over, and they also didn't know what happened to the monster.

"They should have been destroyed. Gaia opened the Meta Realm at that time. You know, no one knows what happened inside the realm. Anyway, the monsters haven't appeared since then."

So, the monster was probably really dead.

Kotaro was discharged from the hospital a week later. During that time, he thought Ling would come to visit him, but she didn't.

So after being discharged from the hospital after a week, Kotaro went to Oshima Manor first to see how Reiya was doing.

After all, that monster was quite strong. He lost without any help in the first encounter. He didn't know whether Gaia would be injured.

As it turned out, Gaia was not injured at all. Ling was also fine.

"Oh, Kotaro, I'm sorry, I was too busy this week and didn't come to see you. Our school is conducting a sixth-grade teaching survey, and there are exams and activities every day."

This should be the truth, but Kotaro still feels a little aggrieved. It always feels too much.

As for where it was excessive, he couldn't say. Anyway, she shouldn't have made such a light statement. It was a pity that he was worried about whether Ling was also injured.

That strange bird, its beak is so sharp.

"Was the monster finally destroyed?"

Although he was sure that the monster was dead, Kotaro still asked casually.

"Monster? Which one? Oh, you mean Patton. Why, are you still mad at it? It's wrong to hurt you, but why are you competing with the guardian?"

"Guardian?" Kotaro felt confused.

"Well, because the Earth has been invaded by invasive species. Those silkworms are not native to the Earth and will cause great damage to the ecology, so the Earth has awakened its sleeping guardian."

"Wait, you said that monster, uh, Barton, is on the side of humans?"

"Of course not. It doesn't recognize humans. It is a life form on Earth, and it awakened to destroy the silkworm. Of course, it is neither good nor evil, it just devours insects instinctively. It will also attack other meat-eating animals."

"You knew it a long time ago?" So from the very beginning, Kotaro himself suffered an unexpected disaster?

"Of course I don't know. Just like if you have bacteria in your body and your white blood cells are mobilized, would you know immediately?"

That makes sense, and Kotaro realized that white blood cells are not controlled by the brain. They kill bacteria on their own initiative.

Only when humans catch a cold or have a fever and show symptoms will they realize that the white blood cells in their body are fighting.

So it was the same with Gaia. Even if those ancient monsters were white blood cells in the Earth's 'body', it was impossible for them to recognize each one. Even if they were fighting, Gaia would not care if it was not serious.

Extraterrestrial invasive species are obviously pathogens to the Earth's ecosystem.

"But why did Patton attack me first?" Kotaro still didn't quite understand.

"You got it wrong, didn't you? After Barton showed up and knocked you away, it was actually going to attack the silkworm. It was you who stood in front of it. Animals won't let off an enemy for food easily."

Fighting for food?

In other words, Patton thought that Taro was competing with him for the silkworms?

I always feel insulted, and insulted in every aspect!

But Kotaro was angry but had no place to vent. He had never fought before, and if it hadn't been for Gaia, he would have almost died.

"The silkworm monster was eaten by Barton, and the remaining silkworms were also destroyed."

So that's the end of the matter.

"By the way, Kotaro, you haven't had special training for a long time, right?"

Special training?

Oh, it’s about fighting against the projections of the Ultra Warriors summoned by Gaia.

Yes, Kotaro already knew that it was just a projection. Even his brother Jack was unaware that he was summoned during that time and had to train with his younger brother every day.

Ling also said so, and Kotaro was indeed eager to try it.

After a week in the hospital, he felt like his body was rusty. He would definitely be able to hold out for a minute in the battle with his brothers.

It was the familiar secret place again, the troubled forest that was used as a training ground.

Kotaro took off the badge of his transformation device and prepared himself.

However, this time, Ling did not use the medal to summon Ultra Phantom. She took out a capsule.

"Ah, it's Brother Seven's capsule!"

It's getting more and more outrageous, not only are they brother Jack's bracelet and mom's 'Blue Mother', but now they even have brother Seven's capsules!

Then after the capsule was thrown, a familiar monster appeared in front of him, and Kotaro was completely speechless.

Volcano Bird-Patton!
