Am I the only one in this team who is not Ultraman?

Page 253

Before filming began, he, Chiaki Konaka, Hasegawa, and others spent countless nights brainstorming, writing and revising again and again. They were all very proud to be writing the first Ultraman series of the Heisei era, and they had some disagreements with each other's ideas, which led to many arguments.

There was no way around it; the burden was too heavy. When the new Ultraman was about to start filming, many people were not optimistic about it, and there were many doubters. They were all thinking: "Another Ultraman?" Tsuburaya Productions was still holding on, feeling that there would be no new ideas, and it would probably be the same old story.

However, some people are looking forward to a new hero. President Kazuo Tsuburaya's words at the time deeply resonated with Masayuki Mida.

We need a hero, but not one we can only look up to. He should emerge from the crowd and tell people to stand up, grit their teeth, and overcome difficulties, because everyone can be a hero, and everyone can shine brightly.

People need heroes, and one day they will understand that everyone can be a hero. Before that happens, someone will stand up, light a fire, and walk ahead of everyone to bring light to everyone. That is what Ultraman is all about!

Masayuki Mida gripped his pen and began to slowly write on the script. He knew the story of Ultraman Tiga better than anyone else. Although the script differed from his memory, it was written by him and his other self from another world.

After the brief standoff ended, Chaos Super Taro demonstrated his immense power. With just a light strike, he sent Leo, who had transformed into Alien Goldler, flying and seriously injured.

Fortunately, Leo has received Earth's blessing. Now, at the intersection of two universes, he receives twice the usual amount of light from Earth, which gives him extraordinary regenerative power.

However, Leo knew better than anyone that such power was insufficient to defeat the enemy, but he couldn't find a way to win either. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and Leo saw no chance of victory on his own.

The development of the plot must follow logic, even if it is a bit stiff, it is better than a complete mess. However, even from the perspective of an ordinary person, this script can now be described as a complete mess.

When both Masamasa Mida were writing the script, things were fine, but with the addition of Galatrom and the personal involvement of Modius, the plot began to spiral out of control, forcing Mida to do his best to salvage the story.

The development of the script needs to follow reason, that's for sure. Chaos Super Taro's power is far greater than that of Godler Alien. Even if Leo adds a Spark Doll, it's impossible to make up for the huge gap between them. So he will be in a tough battle or even face death.

However, Masayuki Mida also has his own principles: Ultraman will not lose. Especially after co-writing a script like Ultraman Tiga, he understands more and more what he should do at this moment.

But Leo harbored a will that he could never admit defeat and never fall down, which made him stand up again and again and fight against Chaos Super Taro with great difficulty.

Chaos Ultraman Taro could easily kill Leo. Although the Chaos Ultramen were originally just mechanical creations of the Salome aliens that were corrupted by the Chaos virus, the information obtained during the battle in the Land of Light was enough for Chaos to simulate the form of Super Taro.

Ultimately, the Chaos virus lacks its own clear consciousness. Like an immature child, it only knows how to recklessly unleash its power, wanting to completely crush the guy who had caused it to fail twice, yet not wanting him to die so easily.

Therefore, instead of eliminating Leo immediately, it treated him as a toy to test its strength, trying to walk over the ant without crushing it—a difficult task indeed.

As Masayuki Mita's script progressed, everything unfolded exactly as he had written. Faced with the immense power of Chaos Super Taro, Leo was undoubtedly in dire straits. Even a casual punch from Chaos Super Taro was enough to make him feel the threat of death.

The gap between Leo and Chaostalo now is like the gap between Golza and Tiga. Can they exchange blows? Of course they can, but only once, because when the other gets serious, they simply can't withstand a second hit.

However, it seems that Chaos Taro's old bad habits have also been inherited by Chaos Super Taro. He is arrogant, reckless, and doesn't respect anyone except himself. Leo made him suffer twice before, and Chaos Super Taro wants to make him suffer and die a horrible death.

This time, Chaos Super Taro was fully confident in his strength. He refused to believe that the gap between his strength and Leo's was so large that the other party could still turn the tide.

Chaos Super Taro flashed in front of Leo and threw another punch. It was the same posture and the same speed. The giant pincer arm of the Goldler alien superimposed on MK2 had a defense that could withstand the super temperature difference ray, but Leo's heart skipped a beat and he thought something was wrong.

Super Chaos Taro looks exactly like Chaos Taro, but their strength is worlds apart. When the fist landed on Leo's hand, the huge pincer arm shattered like glass hit by a stone.

The punch landed directly on the Goldler alien's chest, piercing through his sturdy outer armor as easily as cutting through tofu, but just barely avoiding his core.

Leo, the controller, coughed up blood. He hadn't felt this way in a long time since his body was replaced with the one created by Ultimate Darkness. It really hurt, but the pain was so real that it gradually made some of the places where Leo had been numb feel something again.

In this dream world, Leo is also bound by the script. Within the framework set by the script, he is not a Reiblood alien, nor does he have a body shaped by the ultimate darkness. He is just an ordinary person who has obtained the Dark Spark and whose abilities in various aspects are quite outstanding.

How can someone living under a script resist it? Modius coldly observed all of this, as if Leo's fate was already sealed.

If they were outside, Chaos Super Taro would never be able to defeat Leo, because Leo has too many trump cards, and his transformation into Dark Lugiel is even more overpowered. Chaos Super Taro isn't the real Super Taro, and even the real Super Taro might not be able to defeat Leo.

Take Super Taro as an example. He can easily defeat Juda's Grand King, who is considered a manifestation of Juda's power. Juda is facing off against Alien Emperor, but Emperor Emperor can slightly defeat Juda with his telekinesis.

The Dark Emperor, created from the resentment of Planet Empera, is stronger than Alien Empera and only slightly weaker than Super Taro. However, Leo was able to easily defeat the Dark Emperor. When facing Tartarus, Reiblood, who was fully possessed by Belial, was not at a disadvantage and even defeated both of them. It is conceivable how difficult he is to deal with.

But Modius knew this was right, this was only natural, because the birth of Leo was something that Delacion had foretold. The will of the universe always emphasizes balance; evil that is too powerful will give rise to justice that opposes it.

The Dark Shadow Mage's true form was aware of this, which is why he was not satisfied with his current power, feared the emergence of a nemesis, and wanted to incorporate more than a dozen universes into his body in order to reach the legendary level and break free from this law.

But even the Dark Shadow Mage himself probably didn't expect that his nemesis, Leo, would arrive 30 million years late. In fact, it could be said that Leo wasn't even his nemesis, but rather the nemesis of the ultimate darkness.

Delacion used prophecy to make Leo's existence seem plausible, and the King of Ultra's secret assistance made Leo's birth possible. Leo is de-us ex ma-chi-na, created by these legendary beings using loopholes in the rules of the universe.

The phrase "deus ex machi-na" translates to "deus ex machi-na," which generally refers to a character who suddenly appears to resolve a tense situation in a play or when an intractable problem arises in the script. It is often used to create unexpected plot developments.

The most typical example of a deus ex machina is Ultraman. When humans encounter problems that they cannot solve on their own, Ultraman becomes a deus ex machina to solve everything. Leo is the deus ex machina chosen by Delacion to solve the hidden danger of ultimate darkness.

However, even Delacion probably didn't expect that Leo's birth was mixed with too many uncertainties, so much so that by the time the King of Ultra realized something was wrong, it was already too late. Leo's attraction to Ultimate Darkness was indeed not part of the plan.

"You said you would destroy everything, but what about yourself?" Ke Xi'er looked at Mo Di Wu Si, the two of them locked in a standoff, as if the battlefield next to them, now a sea of ​​fire, had nothing to do with them.

“I will be destroyed too,” Modius said calmly. “Everything will be destroyed, everything will be destroyed, including me.”

Modiwus never distanced herself from the situation, but the helplessness and pain in her eyes were noticed by Kexi'er. However, this glimmer of light was quickly suppressed, but it did not escape Kexi'er's eyes.

"Looks like you're not doing too well either," Ke Xi'er said sneer, and Modius's face gradually darkened. "Destroying everything, abandoning everything, that was your own choice. And now you still want to struggle?"

Modiwus was not referring to Koshiel, but rather to the wisp of Earth's light within her own body. She had already sensed that something was wrong, but it was too late to resist.

Meanwhile, Captain Gento and the others quickly arrived at the entrance of Tsuburaya Productions, but before Gento could even barge in, Daigo grabbed his wrist. "Captain, something's not right."

Upon hearing Daigo's words, Captain Gento began to observe carefully. His brows furrowed. It was quiet, too quiet, so quiet it was frightening. The huge company had no security guards and not a single light was on. An ominous atmosphere sent chills down Gento's spine.

With the String Man's primal instincts as Blaze's, this sense of danger couldn't be a mere illusion; something that could make them all feel danger couldn't be simple.

"Be careful." Gento waved, signaling Daigo and Komon to prepare for battle.

Meanwhile, inside Tsuburaya Productions, Galatrom was too busy to leave, so she had Ayako take charge of overseeing everything. Ayako's gaze swept over all the surveillance cameras and finally landed on the empty main entrance. The security guards were still patrolling, and no one had noticed their arrival yet.

The ESCG people are on their way. Ako estimated that Daigo and the others should have arrived by now, so why is there not a single person in sight?

This isn't right. Ayako immediately checked all the surrounding surveillance footage and found no trace of Daigo and the others. "Sister Renlong, Daigo and the others have disappeared!"

"What did you say?" Renlong's eyes widened, and he closed them to carefully sense the surroundings. His expression turned puzzled. "That's not right. Haven't they already entered Tsuburaya Productions? They're right by the main gate."

"But the surveillance system isn't displaying any images... What's going on?"

Yako's words made everyone's expressions grow increasingly grim. Zetton, Jet, and Ozil teleported simultaneously, while Dimaga directly opened a spacetime barrier above his head. For any ability with spacetime anomalies, the spacetime barrier is the most efficient method.

What exactly happened? Modius had the same question. Without her noticing, Masayuki Mita of World One had disappeared. Her "vision" had been obscured, and in a brief moment, he had vanished.

Not many people can do this. It must be the Earth Light within me causing trouble. No, I need to find Masatoshi Mita as soon as possible. Modius needs to ensure that the plot is still under his control. He cannot arbitrarily change the script, otherwise he risks being dragged into the script himself.

"Looks like you're not doing too well either," Ke Xi'er said sneer, and Modius's face gradually darkened. "Destroying everything, abandoning everything, that was your own choice. And now you still want to struggle?"

………………

No, after a moment of silence, Modius's eyes were filled with shock. Hadn't the conversation just happened once before? Why was he repeating it again?

Koshier seemed completely oblivious. She was just wondering why Modius suddenly seemed to have been caught red-handed. Wait a minute... wait a minute, what's with this strange atmosphere?!

Kexi'er and Modiwus looked up at the sky almost simultaneously, at the bright moon and the twinkling stars. In their eyes, this was hardly a magnificent sky.

The bright moon is like a blood-red eye, and the countless stars are like tentacles hanging down, their tips emitting a faint light, like bait for a predator to lure its prey. Dark mist begins to rise from all around.

Those familiar methods, those familiar cold eyes, those tentacles that are like planets and can even tear the sun apart—it would be strange if you couldn't recognize who the mastermind behind all this was.

"Gatanothor!!!" Modius clenched his fist, and Koshiel also realized that things were starting to go beyond her expectations. "I thought this guy would just keep watching."

Modius and Korshiel were shocked by Gatanothor's appearance. Only then did Modius realize that he, who supposedly controlled the plot, was merely a character in another script.

Not only her dream world, but even the Tsuburaya Productions company where Galatrom and the others were located became part of the script, and they did not realize that they were in a recurring segment.

[Being part of the script, Modius is naturally influenced by its framework, but Gatanothor didn't come for her; her target is only Leo...]

In the dark room, the pen that had been sketching continuously suddenly stopped. Chiaki Konaka looked through the window with his empty eyes at Gento and the others who had barged in through the main gate, and then gave a chilling smile before sitting down to continue writing the script.

Chapter 440 Two against one, the advantage is mine

Clutching the emptiness in his chest, Leo looked up at the sky, just like Chaos Super Taro. Staring at the blood-red eye and the tentacles disguised as stars, he felt truly numb. "Is this some kind of nesting doll?"

When Gatanothor no longer concealed his presence, the entire dream world became dangerous, with dark energy instantly surging out from all directions, accompanied by damp, salty winds and the waves of the tide.

The black mist swept in like a tidal wave, turning every city it reached into a desolate wasteland. Whether it was the black mist or the tentacles that attacked from the starry sky, they were all aimed directly at Leo. Gatanothor's goal had never changed from beginning to end.

He was simply very patient, observing everything unfold from the shadows. Just as Modius had used the Dark Shadow Mage's plan, Gatanothor had used Modius's plan to drag Leo into this dream world and weaken his power, making things easier.

"Am I really that popular?" Leo stood up, clutching his chest. His injuries were slowly healing, and Gatanothor seemed to be taking advantage of his current weakness to try and take him down in one fell swoop.

I never expected that Modius would be so skilled in mental abilities, let alone be able to invade this dream world so freely, and even steal the control that rightfully belonged to Modius over this dream world.

Although Gatanothor's target was Leo, his aggressive approach greatly displeased Chaos Super Taro. He was now very confident in his power, believing that even the Dark Emperor was no match for him.

Under such expansion, Chaos Super Taro roared at Gatanothor and flew into the starry sky, intending to compete with her, while Leo wholeheartedly began to recover himself. It was hard to imagine that the two who had just fought to the death were now facing the same enemy.

When Modius saw this scene, his eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Dealing with Gatanothor at this time was definitely not a good idea, but Chaos Taro's power had increased significantly after transforming into Super Taro, making him difficult to control.

Moreover, with Masayuki Mita taken away and Gatanothor's invasion underway, Modius's power has been greatly weakened. She is now trapped in the story written by Chiaki Konaka, manipulated by Gatanothor, and has transformed from an existence outside the plot into a character within it.

As the ruler of darkness bared his ferocious fangs, Leo and Chaos Super Taro, who had been fighting to the death, suddenly realized that this was the terrifying enemy behind the scenes, and Modius also finally realized that he had been used by the ruler of darkness.

Masayuki Mita's pen continued to write. He now understood that, in the world of screenplays, as long as the development of the plot was reasonable, then screenwriters were the highest gods.

Just like now, even without looking outside, Masayuki Mita knows what's happening. He summarizes and categorizes every event in his mind, and he seems to be able to foresee everyone's thoughts.

The script in Masayuki Mita's hand was also showing the plot written by Chiaki Konaka from the Zero World. They both knew of each other's existence. Now, the one who could finish the script first would be the one to win the final victory.

The fallen Modius has lost control of Chaos Super Taro, who is obsessed with his own power and arrogantly charges at Gatanothor, believing he can easily defeat him. Leo, on the other hand, is more cautious and looking for an opportunity to break through.

Having fought countless battles and teetered on the brink of death many times, Leo remained calm and composed in the face of this formidable threat, realizing that Gatanothor had also actively intervened in the story in order to obtain him.

Being in the story means being constrained by the framework of the script's world. Therefore, Gatanothor's power is not much greater than that of the real Gatanothor. In fact, what appears to him may not be Gatanothor's true form, but rather an avatar like Grimd, whom he had previously dealt with.

Masayuki Mita wrote at an astonishing speed, but it was still too slow compared to Chiaki Konaka, who was being manipulated by Gatanothor. He had only written this far, while Chiaki Konaka had already finished writing about the defeat of Chaos Super Taro, and the plot was more detailed, realistic, and in line with the rules of this dream world.

Masayuki Mita glanced at it and found that the page on the back had already been written. Chiaki Konaka's writing speed was still too fast.

Chaos Super Taro's power is indeed strong, but it is still too weak in front of Gatanothor. Even Leo, who transformed into Dark Lugiel and stacked several Dark Sparks, could not fight against Gatanothor, let alone him.

Leo had intended to use the time Chaostalo was holding Gatanothor back to recover his own abilities and observe Gatanothor's abilities and techniques in order to find the key to a breakthrough. He also realized that what was in front of him was not Gatanothor's true form, but just a clone.

Even as a clone, Gatanothor remains one of the eight sealed powerful monsters. Her split spiritual form is still an invincible enemy for Leo, who is limited by the story. Even when Leo transforms into Dark Lugiel, he cannot defeat this clone of Gatanothor.

Everything unfolded as if it were scripted. Chaos Super Taro flew into space and unleashed the Chaos Strium Ray without hesitation. He was just arrogant and brainless; he wasn't so foolish as to be unable to sense Gatanothor's presence.

However, Gatanothor's aura gave him the impression that his power was no less than his own, which gave Chaos Super Taro the illusion that "the opponent is nothing special, and I have a great chance of winning."

The Chaosstrium Ray struck Gatanothor's tentacles, but only caused one of the tentacles to pause for a moment, and had no other effect whatsoever, not even a scratch.

This scene surprised even Chaos Super Taro. This Chaos Strium Ray could easily kill Leo, who had just transformed into Godler and stacked MK2. Even Zetton and the others didn't dare to take this attack head-on, yet it failed to cause Gatanothor any damage.

Chaos Super Taro was utterly shocked. Gatanothor's power far exceeded his imagination. This was both a script and a dream. The stronger the spiritual power, the more it could influence the dream. Gatanothor's spiritual power far surpassed Chaos Super Taro's imagination.

Looking at the words that kept appearing on the script, Masayuki Mida realized that he could no longer write according to his previous ideas. His speed was not as fast as that of the controlled Chiaki Konaka. Since that was the case... he would just add annotations to these texts directly, or even write the following content directly!

With that in mind, Masayuki Mita lowered his head and began to write, trying to see if this was feasible.

[Leo was also aware of this, but he was very confident in his mental strength. Although in the dream Leo was just an ordinary human, his true identity was Reiblood. As long as he could summon his true spirit, he could fight against Gatanothor.] — Masahiro Mita

Chiaki Konaka also noticed Masayuki Mita's actions and immediately continued to add to the discussion.

[But as part of this dream, Leo's ego is deeply dormant, and his mental power cannot be mobilized.] — Chiaki Konaka

This tactic works! Masayuki Mita's heart skipped a beat. Both of them existed on the narrative level. The controlled Chiaki Konaka could not directly interfere with him and could only act on the notes he had written.

But the fact that Chiaki Konaka, or rather Gatanothor, specifically did this means that Masayuki Mita's method is effective. He can use this method to interfere with Gatanothor's influence on the Dream Board. In that case, he won't hold back!

[What we call a dream is something we must eventually wake up from. When the dreamer wakes up, everything in the dream disappears, and when the sun rises, it's time for the dream to end.]

When Masayuki Mida wrote this sentence, Gatanothor, who was controlling Chiaki Konaka, also wanted to make targeted additions and modifications, but found that he could not do so.

Because the underlying logic of this world is that "dreams will eventually end," if she were to modify this rule, she would only find herself in a very bad situation. Gatanothor is currently in a dream, and to enter a dream, one must, of course, sleep.

If we change the sentence to "The dream will eventually end, but no one knows how long it will take for this dream to end," then Gatanothor herself will also be imprisoned by this dream. Although she wouldn't mind staying here with Leo for a while longer, there's no need for it.

"As expected, these underlying code rules cannot be modified at will!"

Masayuki Mita finally found a breakthrough. Since the script was already such a mess, he would let the other party put the story back together. He only needed to make some modifications and additions to make the ending of the story the one he wanted!

Leo watched as Chaos Super Taro unleashed his trump card, the Chaos Cosmic Miracle Ray, which severed several of Gatanothor's tentacles before being swallowed by the black mist. A purple light shot out from the black mist that filled the universe and pierced directly through Chaos Super Taro's body.

Chaos Super Taro fell directly from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground, making a huge commotion that even Leo couldn't understand.

Seriously, bro? You weren't like this when you were beating me up. Couldn't you at least hold your own for a bit? How did you fall down in less than a minute?

Leo's eyebrows twitched incessantly as Gatanothor's tentacles, along with the black mist surging from the ground, swept towards him. Although he had witnessed the same skill from Gatanothor before at home, the real Gatanothor was indeed different.

[Darkness materializes and merges, Dark Lugiel]

[Darkness materializes and merges, Lugoset!]

Leo instantly transformed into Dark Lugiel, and also superimposed Lugoset's Spark Doll, which instantly boosted his aura, directly surpassing Chaos Super Taro.

With the Darkweave Cloth unavailable and no suitable weapon at hand, Leo simply swung a lightsaber into the sky. Since Gatanothor didn't possess the same abilities as the Chaos Virus, Leo could use his own power more decisively.

It can only be said that the Dark Spark truly lives up to its legendary status. Leo thought that he would lose control after transforming into Dark Lugiel in his dream as an ordinary person, but he didn't expect to be the same as usual. It seems that the dream can't completely restrain Leo.

Gatanothor's tentacles were almost as thick as the shoulder of Dark Lugiel, which Leo had transformed into. When Leo struck one of them with his sword, it only left a tiny wound, which healed in the next second.

"Tsk..." Leo raised an eyebrow as a tentacle struck from above with lightning speed. Leo blocked it with his sword, but the hastily made lightsaber was shattered, and he was knocked down as well.
