People in Ultraman: Beginning Plunder and Fusion

Chapter 60 Gomora

In the vast space of the armory, the development project for Robot No. 2 lay quietly in a corner, like a forgotten giant.

Once a symbol of hope and dreams, this place is now nothing but cold metal and a stagnant progress bar.

The cessation of development budget allocations acted like an invisible lock, freezing everything in place. But in this silence, the light of hope was not completely extinguished.

Commander Kuriki, the middle-aged man who always had a determined look in his eyes, was fighting hard at the budget meeting to secure the budget.

Haruki, the young pilot, had an indomitable glint in his eyes. The new weapon he had requested had now been successfully installed on Sevenger, becoming a new symbol of power for this giant robot.

Sevenger, a name that resonates throughout the Armory, is not only a machine, but also a warrior's partner and the last line of defense for human safety.

Just then, the armory's broadcast shattered the silence, bringing a new mission and challenge. Monsters had appeared on the Izuhara Plateau, posing a new threat to humanity.

The armory's soldiers had no time to hesitate; they had to act immediately. Haruki, as the Sevenger's pilot, felt the weight of responsibility.

With Duolue's reminder, he memorized the location of the nearby observation post, a target he had to protect.

Piloting Sevenger, Haruki charges into battle. The frozen monster Zikas, this powerful enemy, puts unprecedented pressure on Sevenger.

The battle was tough; Sevenger seemed somewhat overwhelmed by Zikas's immense power.

But Haruki didn't give up; he decided to use a new weapon—the Hardcore Iron Fist Bullet. It was a dangerous attempt, but he had to protect the observation post and prevent any accidents from happening.

With the launch of the hard-core iron fist rounds, the atmosphere on the battlefield instantly became tense.

Fortunately, Haruki's precise maneuvering allowed the attack to both repel the monster and avoid damaging the observatory. Zikas's activity ceased; it was temporarily repelled, but the battle was far from over.

Inside the armory, the other four watched the battle intently on a large screen.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Haruki had successfully protected the observatory. The mission had been difficult, but the result was gratifying.

When Haruki returned, Commander Kuriki's praise for him was not only an affirmation of his personal efforts, but also a recognition of the hard work of the entire team.

Actually, it was only because Yao Hui was kindly reminded by Duolue that he wouldn't have forgotten such an important matter so easily.

Commander Kuriki, as the leader of the armory, was well aware of the importance of Project 20. He did a great deal of preparation work to secure sufficient support at the budget meeting.

He studied the data, prepared reports, and even communicated privately with key decision-makers.

His only goal was to ensure the project could continue, for the protection of humanity and for the future of the Armory.

There's a lot of pollen today.

As soon as Yao Hui finished speaking, his nose started to itch. This was his chronic pollen allergy, which always flared up unexpectedly. Seeing this, Duo Lue immediately used his healing ability.

This ability is the secret weapon of the thief; he can heal others' injuries and illnesses with his mind without attracting anyone's attention.

This ability has no distance limit; wherever Yaohui is, as long as Duolue is willing, he can provide assistance.

Within the excavated Five Finger Mountain, a secret mission is underway. Sleeping beside the Gomora Rock lies a true monster.

This discovery presents both a challenge and an opportunity for the armory.

They must handle the monster carefully to ensure it poses no threat to humanity, while also hoping to glean more secrets about life in the universe from it.

Gomora lies in a place that happens to be the route the construction will take. To ensure the smooth progress of the construction, the armory staff will send him to a deserted island.

Hebikura received the message and told everyone, "Gomora supply operation."

Kuriki said, "Yes, the Deputy Secretary of the Earth Defense Force's U.S. Headquarters will be in Japan for the next budget meeting, and I made a special effort to get a two-hour meeting."

Therefore, this operation demonstrates the extraordinary capabilities of robots.

Gomora is currently in a deep sleep, transformed into a giant stone. The operation to deal with Gomora must succeed; failure is not an option.

“Haruki, this is another great opportunity for you to show off. You’ll be piloting the Sevenger again this time.” Hebikura pointed at Haruki.

“Okay, but I have hay fever,” Haruki sighed.

Little did they know, Yaohui's hay fever had just been cured by Duolue using some healing abilities he had obtained from the seeds of the Tree of Life. He wouldn't be sneezing for no reason during this mission, but Duolue would still try to wake Gomora up.

"Haruki, when you're driving the Sevenger, you must watch the road carefully. Don't step into the puddles ahead and fall flat on your face, making Commander Kuriki sad." Doroki reminded Haruki before engaging in battle.

"Oh!" Haruki nodded.

Some time later, Commander Kuriki was meeting with the Deputy Secretary of the Earth Defense Force's U.S. Headquarters in the conference room.

Hebikura and Yuka stood at a safe distance, using a communicator to contact Haruki and give him instructions.

The armory plans to move Gomora to an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean. The operation begins, and Haruki carefully moves Gomora in his Sevenger, afraid of waking it up.

"Strange, there's so much pollen here. I remember I have hay fever, but why haven't I been affected by it for so long? Oh well, never mind." Yao Hui wondered.

Commander Kuriki introduced Sevenger, the No. 1 robot in his armory, to the deputy ministers.

Commander Kuriki introduced his team member Yoko to the deputy minister, while Doroki waited outside the meeting room for the meeting to end. After the meeting, Doroki and Yoko would go to the roof to get guns in case Gomora woke up and caused any danger.

Commander Kuriki suddenly realized something: if Yoko were here, then who would be piloting the Sevenger?

Just as Yoko was about to tell Commander Kuriki who he was, Duolue suddenly walked in from the doorway and said...

"It's Haruki piloting the Sevenger, so you can rest assured, Commander Kuriki."

After saying that, he used his healing ability to help Sevenger, who was in a deep sleep.

From a distance, Hebikura and Yuka carefully observed Haruki's performance.

Looking at her detector, Yuka exclaimed in surprise, "Gomora's vital signs are rising."

At this moment, Gomora slowly opened his eyes.

Hebikura said, "I remember Haruki didn't sneeze. By the way, how did Gomora wake up?"

Gomora woke up and broke free from Sevenger's restraints, starting to destroy the city. Haruki could only pilot Sevenger to stop the monster from causing destruction.

The Deputy Secretary for Administration also witnessed this battle.

Sevenger, a powerful robot designed to combat monsters, was dispatched to deal with Gomora. Sevenger attempted to move Gomora to a deserted island to prevent further destruction.

However, during the transport, an accident occurred, and Gomora strangely awoke.

Upon awakening, Gomora angrily attacked Sevenger, and the two engaged in a fierce battle in the city. Although Sevenger possessed advanced weaponry and immense strength, it appeared somewhat powerless against the enraged Gomora.

During the battle, Gomora, with its massive size and powerful attacks, initially overwhelmed Sevenger. Sevenger constantly adjusted his tactics, trying to find Gomora's weakness.

However, Gomora's destructive power was too astonishing, and Sevenger gradually found himself at a disadvantage in the battle.

Gomora rushed to the building where the Deputy Secretary was located, but fortunately, Dorothy and Yoko were still on the roof, firing their guns at Gomora, which bought Gomora time to advance.

Sevenger's three-minute battle time ended, and he stopped moving. Haruki had no choice but to transform into Ultraman Zeta Alpha Armor to fight again.

Although Zeta possesses considerable combat skills, he appears somewhat powerless against the formidable Gomora.

Gomora's every move was accompanied by overwhelming force; each of its impacts caused the surrounding buildings to tremble, as if the entire city was shaking at its roar.

Zeta was sent flying by a heavy blow from Gomora, his body streaking across the sky before crashing heavily into a building in the distance.

The building's glass curtain wall shattered instantly upon impact, with fragments falling like raindrops, making a piercing sound.

Yao Hui witnessed this scene and was filled with anxiety and helplessness.

He clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with determination; despite facing such a powerful enemy, he did not give up hope.

"Zeta, you have to hold on!" Haruki silently cheered for Zeta in his heart, while his brain was working at high speed, searching for a way to defeat Gomora.

Just then, Duolue reminded the serious Yoko next to him.

"Yoko, quickly take out the Ultra Medal you have on you. Zeta needs its help right now."

"Duolue, how did you know I have an Ultra Medal?" Yoko took the medal out of her pocket and threw it at Zeta.

Duolue replied, "After you asked Tiga and Zeta their ages, you were happy and then blatantly took out a medal and looked at it. How could I not see it?"

Actually, I learned about Yoko's Ultra Medal from the original storyline.

The first medal entered Zeta's transformation space, and then the medal entered Haruki's medal box.

Zeta reminded him, "Haruki, begin Ultra Fusion, with passion and the power of courage."

“Oh!” Yaohui said.

Zeta said, "They are medals from the First Generation, Ace, and Taro."

"A heart full of passion, the power of courage, the first generation brother, the Ace brother, the Taro brother." Haruki placed the medal into the Zeta Riser.

[Original Generation, Ace, Taro]

"Oh!" Yaohui got into position.

"Say my name, Ultraman Zeta!" Zeta appeared out of thin air with his arms outstretched.

"Ultraman Zeta!" Haruki shouted, raising the Riser and pressing the button.

Ultraman Zeta, Beta Impact.

Ultraman Zeta's muscles became more defined, and his body was covered with a layer of red armor. His legs also became strong and powerful.

Its head also exhibits characteristics of the Beta Impact form, and its eyes reveal a firm belief.

The battle between Ultraman Zeta Beta Impact Form and Gomora has reached a fever pitch.

Every strike he made was filled with power, and every leap was like a thunderbolt. Although Gomora was powerful, it no longer had the upper hand against Ultraman Zeta in Beta Impact form.

Gomora was forced to retreat steadily by Ultraman Zeta's rapid offensive, howling in pain.

The battle reached its climax when Ultraman Zeta Beta Impact Form unleashed his ultimate move—the Zestiem Rising Dragon Fist. He lifted Gomora high and then slammed it to the ground with astonishing force.

After seeing that it was about right, Duolue walked behind Yoko and threw out a regular Tiga card. Duolue didn't necessarily have to transform into Ultraman himself to fight; he could also control the card with his mind.

When Yoko saw Tiga appear and then looked at Duolue who was still there, she immediately dismissed her previous doubts about Duolue's identity. Then she looked in her direction, waved, and said happily, "Ultraman Tiga, you've come."

The battle began, with Ultraman Tiga engaging in a fierce fight against Gomora with his extraordinary power and speed.

Gomora uses its tough skin and powerful tail as weapons, while Tiga uses his power of light and flight to fight back.

The battle between the two caused immense destruction in the city, but Ultraman Tiga consistently protected innocent humans. As the battle continued, Ultraman Tiga noticed that Gomora's power seemed to be steadily increasing.

He realized that if the battle wasn't ended quickly, Gomora could cause irreparable damage to Earth. Therefore, Ultraman Tiga decided to use his ultimate technique—the Light Ray.

After a skillful dodge, Ultraman Tiga found an opportunity. He gathered all his power and fired a dazzling beam of light.

Gomora tried to resist, but was eventually struck by the beam of light, letting out a deafening roar before collapsing to the ground.

Although it was just a regular Tiga, its beam power was enough to deal with Gomora.

The system prompted: "Gomora's lootable power is 100%. Loot now?"

Duolue replied, "Yes, plunder ability activated."

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

"Praise be to Tiga!" Zeta exclaimed.

Tiga flew into the air and disappeared, reverting to his card form. Then Zeta flew into the air and disappeared, and Haruki deactivated his transformation.

The battle is over.

The thief used the Gomora card to enhance the EX Gomora he had previously stolen from Raymond, increasing its power by 1.3 times.

In the cold air of the armory, the five of them stood side by side, their faces showing exhaustion and regret.

Their eyes were all fixed on Kuriki Michi, as if seeking his comfort and understanding.

Kuribichi, the experienced commander, did not show much disappointment on his face.

He knew the cruelty and uncertainty of battle, and understood that failure is the mother of success. He nodded slightly, a hint of determination in his eyes.

"This failure is a stepping stone for our progress." Kuribachi's voice was calm and firm. He looked around and briefly met everyone's eyes. "We will learn from this experience and do better next time."

His words were like a warm current, soothing everyone's disheartened hearts. They knew that Kuriki Michi never got discouraged by failure; he always found the motivation to move forward from setbacks.

"Moreover, the Under Secretary has promised to provide us with sufficient budgetary support to a certain extent."

Kuribo continued, his voice tinged with anticipation, "This means our second robot is nearing completion, and it will be our new hope."

Upon hearing this news, everyone's faces lit up with anticipation. They knew that Robot No. 2 was the culmination of their years of research, possessing more advanced technology and greater combat capabilities.

If successfully deployed, it will be a crucial weapon in their fight against Gomora.

"Therefore, we should not be discouraged by this failure." Kuriki's voice gradually rose, filled with inspiring power.

"We should take this as motivation, move forward, and prepare for the next battle."

Everyone nodded, and hope rekindled in their eyes.
