People in Ultraman: Beginning Plunder and Fusion

Chapter 79 Bruton 2

A gasp of amazement erupted from the crowd; everyone was stunned by the incredible scene unfolding before their eyes.

However, amidst the commotion and astonishment, only Ye Hu, after witnessing the scene of the robbery, had a strange expression on his face.

With just one glance, he seemed to have seen through all the secrets and knew the other party's true identity.

Just then, something unexpected happened. Apart from Duolue, Yangzi, and Yaohui, there was no one else there.

Everyone present seemed to have lost gravity, and was slowly lifted up by a mysterious and powerful force, suspending them in mid-air.

"Yoko, Haruki, Doroki, look! We're floating!" Yuka shouted in a panic, her voice filled with fear and astonishment.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Ye Hu remained remarkably calm. He shrugged nonchalantly and said, "So what if it floated up? What's the big deal?"

Yoko looked around suspiciously and asked, puzzled, "What's going on with you guys? Why are you all suddenly like this?"

At the same time, Yao Hui also looked bewildered, his brows furrowed, muttering to himself, "What kind of strange phenomenon is this?"

For a moment, the whole scene descended into chaos and confusion.

Duo Lue frowned and answered decisively, "Is that even a question? What other reason could there be for this strange phenomenon besides that damned monster suddenly appearing and causing trouble?"

Just then, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the space, and it rang twice in succession.

Accompanied by an alarm, a synthesized mechanical voice loudly warned: "Attention! Monster tracks detected in front of Armory Headquarters. All personnel, immediately enter combat readiness!"

After the alarm ended, the previously dim screen lit up instantly, clearly showing a huge, ferocious monster—Bruton—through its connection with an external camera.

Its ugly and twisted body exudes a chilling aura that sends shivers down one's spine.

Yoko stared intently at the monster on the screen, then quickly turned to Haruki and Dorothy, issuing the following orders: "Haruki, you head to the cockpit and take control of Windom to prepare for battle; I'll pilot King Joe and deliver the fatal blow to the monster; Dorothy, you're responsible for harassing the monster from the sidelines with your weapon, distracting it. Remember, we must cooperate closely and not give the monster any opening!"

Upon hearing the instruction, Haruki nodded without hesitation and replied, "Oh! Understood, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Duolue quickly responded, "Okay, don't worry, Captain Yangzi!" With that, the three split up and rushed to their respective posts as fast as they could; a fierce battle was about to begin...

The three of them ran towards their respective tasks. Yoko ran towards King Bridge, but she encountered a problem while climbing the stairs: no matter which way she went, she kept going in circles. A look of horror appeared on her face.

Meanwhile, Yaohui was frantically running towards the direction of Windom. He ran as fast as he could and soon arrived at the stairs.

Just as he was about to climb the stairs and crawl into the cockpit to attack the rampaging monster, a mysterious force quietly descended.

In an instant, time seemed to flow backward, and the scene before them suddenly changed. The tense and fierce battlefield disappeared, replaced by a table laden with sumptuous food.

Yao Hui was shocked to find himself in this strange yet familiar environment, still tightly holding a bowl and chopsticks in his hands.

He looked around blankly, muttering to himself with a face full of doubt, "Where...where is this?" Just then, a figure appeared beside him.

It was Hebikura. He smiled and gently patted Haruki's back, asking with concern, "Haruki, what's wrong? Are you hallucinating because you're too tired?"

Haruki stared wide-eyed at Hebikura, thinking to himself, "Could it really be as I suspect, that time has reversed?"

However, he had no time to think about it at the moment, because not long after, the same scene played out again.

As a piercing alarm sounded, the terrifying monster suddenly appeared! Just like before, everyone except Haruki, Doroki, and Yoko involuntarily floated into the air.

Immediately afterward, Yoko solemnly gave orders to Duolue and Yaohui, informing them that their respective missions were about to begin. And so, another thrilling battle unfolded…

Yaohui took a deep breath and resolutely put the helmet, which gleamed with metallic luster, back on his head.

With firm yet slightly heavy steps, he slowly ascended that all-too-familiar staircase.

Every step seemed to carry endless anticipation and trepidation.

However, fate always seems to enjoy playing tricks on people. Just a few steps after Haruki took his first step, something unexpected happened—time, as if suddenly turned upside down by an invisible hand, began to flow backwards!

This sudden turn of events left Yaohui in a state of extreme shock. He stared wide-eyed at the rapidly receding scenery around him in disbelief.

As time reversed, everything became chaotic.

A surge of inexplicable frustration welled up within Yao Hui, and he couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath: "Damn it! Why is it like this again? Am I really going to be trapped here forever?"

But soon, as if he had thought of something, his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

"Oh well, since we're already trapped, let nature take its course. Anyway, Duolue will definitely come to rescue us." Yaohui comforted himself with these words, then simply plopped down on the stairs, no longer paying attention to the ever-reversing flow of time.

At this moment, Haruki decided to put aside his troubles for the time being and enjoy the present moment to the fullest.

After all, during this time, he could enjoy all kinds of delicious food without any worries about the threat of monsters or the urgency of battle.

Yao Hui savored the satisfaction brought by each dish, as if he had forgotten all his worries and troubles.

Quietly wait for the enemy to successfully defeat that terrifying monster.

The scene quickly shifts to where Duolue is, where he is mustering his courage, trying to abandon the powerful spacetime ability and run towards the outside world with only his own strength, and complete the feat of transforming into Ultraman Tiga.

The reason he did this was because he harbored a strong desire deep in his heart—to find out where this time travel would take him.

In an instant, something unexpected happened. Duo Lue's figure flashed, and he actually traveled into the time and space that had once made him feel so comfortable.

Here, Yoko and Yuka are smiling broadly as they serve him delicious drinks free of charge.

However, faced with such an alluring scene, Duolue showed no lingering interest whatsoever, but instead focused his attention on the place he longed for most without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, another beam of light flashed, and Duolue successfully traveled to a seemingly familiar space—wasn't that the room in the real world where he originally lived?

But the moment he stepped into the room, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

After careful observation, he suddenly realized that what he saw before him was just an illusion, not a real scene.

Nevertheless, the room was still filled with all sorts of Ultraman posters and exquisitely realistic models.

They are neatly arranged on the walls and bookshelves, as if silently telling the story of the owner's love for Ultraman.

At that very moment, his parents were anxiously waiting outside the door for him to come out of his room so they could enjoy a warm dinner together.

Looking at everything before him, Duolue couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion: "Although I could easily travel back to my original world at will and cleverly set the timing to ensure that nothing went wrong, since I'm already here, why not stop for now, fully enjoy the endless fun of collecting those coveted treasures, and then travel back?"

Thinking of this, a relieved smile appeared on Duolue's face, and then he began to explore this room full of memories with great interest...

When someone is unfortunately trapped in a spacetime distortion illusion carefully created by others, if they wish to escape this illusory prison, the method is actually not complicated—they only need to travel through spacetime using their own power.

After briefly immersing himself in the blissful feeling of returning to the warm embrace of his family in this illusion, Duolue resolutely chose to leave.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a circular portal shimmering with a mysterious blue light slowly appeared.

Without hesitation, he stepped inside, and his figure vanished instantly.

For him, home is a safe haven for his soul, a place where he can often return to feel warmth and peace, but he cannot stay there for long.

The next moment, Duolue appeared outside the armory gates. He stood there quietly, his gaze fixed on the all-too-familiar scene before him, and a tide of memories began to surge through his mind.

Just then, Kaburagi stared intently at Bruton in front of him and praised him generously, "Well done, Bruton! Your performance this time was perfect."

However, something unexpected happened. Just as Kaburagi finished speaking, a tall, malevolent demon suddenly appeared behind him.

This person was none other than Hebikura in his demon form. He gripped a gleaming sword tightly in his right hand, his eyes cold and fierce.

"Hey, Cerebro, long time no see." Hebikura's deep, hoarse voice seemed to come from hell, sending chills down one's spine.

After hearing this, Kaburagi was stunned for a moment, then as if he suddenly came to his senses, he turned around abruptly and stared straight at Hebikura.

A strange, sarcastic expression appeared on his face, his eyes darting around as he slowly circled the snake enclosure. He asked in a tone full of suspicion and wariness, "Hey, who are you? How do you know my name?"

At this moment, Hebikura, who was standing still, remained calm and composed. He smiled slightly and explained in a slow and unhurried tone, "Haha, don't be nervous, Cerebro. I've long heard about your glorious deeds. Cerebro, the parasitic life form, it is said that you travel between various universes, playing all sorts of extremely interesting games."

Before he could finish speaking, Kaburagi suddenly lunged forward and pressed his face tightly against Hebikura's in the blink of an eye. At such close range, his already somewhat strange face appeared even more ferocious and terrifying.

However, faced with this sudden action, Hebikura remained calm and composed, simply gazing at the other person quietly.

All that could be heard was Kaburagi lowering his voice and saying fiercely, "Hmph, so... does that mean you came here specifically to stop me?"

Upon hearing this, Hebikura burst into laughter, then shook his head and replied, "Hahaha, what a joke! How could I be here to stop you? On the contrary, I've come here to lend you a hand."

Just then, something unexpected happened—a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air a hundred meters behind where there had been no one. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Duolue had silently teleported there at some unknown time.

He strode slowly toward the two of them, and at the same time, he even interrupted Hebikura, who was about to say his lines.

"Hehehe, but, Cerebro, today is a great day for the Armory's victory celebration banquet. Please don't play any pranks here! I'm planning to go and ask the famous Mr. Ye Hu for some culinary advice later!"

Upon hearing this, Kaburagi's expression softened instantly, and even a faint smile appeared on his face. He replied softly, "I see! In that case, that's perfect."

"How about this, I'll add fuel to the fire for you too!" Kabura immediately ordered Bruton to forcibly transport Hebikura and the newly arrived Duolue into the illusion.

In a blinding white light, Hebikura felt as if his body was being torn apart, then rapidly healed. His vision blurred, and the surrounding scenery had completely changed.

He stood in a small, cramped room with white tiles on the walls and a faint smell of disinfectant in the air.

He paused for a moment, then realized he had somehow ended up in a restroom. He gave a wry smile, thinking, "Since I'm already here, I might as well use the restroom."

Meanwhile, Duolue also experienced a similar journey. He found himself in a familiar and cozy room—his own room. Looking at everything in the room, he felt an indescribable sense of intimacy and warmth.

He walked to the door, gently pushed it open, and saw his parents sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV and chatting.
