Chapter Two: Lord of the Blue Clan

Within the super-alloy spaceship, every ultra-alloy door and all other objects must appear grand and imposing. For the creatures within, their bodies averaged over fifty meters in height.

They bore a strong resemblance to humans, as if humans had been magnified to an enormous scale. Their forms were streamlined, predominantly blue, accented only by slender silver lines, and a vibrant timer glowed on their chests, radiating an ethereal blue light.

They were known as Ultramen.

A towering blue race Ultraman, draped in a flowing red cape, stood before the panoramic window, gazing silently at the exquisite planet before him. Though his stature was not exceptionally great—a common trait among blue race Ultramen—his shoulders were exceptionally broad, seeming capable of supporting the weight of entire mountain ranges.

From either side of his head protruded a pair of L-shaped horns, strikingly similar in appearance to those of the "Ultraman Father," Kane.

Yet these horns were far more razor-sharp, less rounded, and exuded an unmistakable aura of menace and ferocity.

"Captain, it appears the warriors of the New Universe Security Force are still captive in the hands of the Megalon Star people!"

A blue race Ultraman clad in armor approached from behind, his eyes filled with admiration and fervor, though his words were uttered with utmost caution.

Blue race Ultramen indeed lagged behind the silver and red races in both aptitude and power; they were not adept at combat.

Thus, he had sought out the renowned blue race scientist, and through relentless effort, the "Dikutaro Gear Armor" had finally been created. (Author's note: The Dikutaro Gear Armor is the armor Ultraman Zero once donned after training under his master Leo on planet K76 in "Ultraman Gaia Legend.")

This armor significantly bolstered the blue race Ultramen's resilience to blows while enhancing their offensive capabilities. In a sense, it had narrowed the average disparity between ordinary blue race Ultramen and their red race counterparts.

We must give that blue race scientist, with his unparalleled research prowess, his due thanks.

Incidentally, I've heard he has a child now, named Xikali?

Upon returning, we should bring him gifts for his offspring. Perhaps a necklace crafted from thousands of Megalon Star fangs, though its aesthetic appeal might be rather... unconventional.

Hearing the blue race warrior's request behind him, he paused momentarily, then spoke without turning his head, his voice ice-cold:

"Launch the Miracle Laser Cannon and annihilate the Megalon Star.

Additionally, instruct the warriors to ready the ship for launch and intercept any escaping Megalon Star beings.

I shall ensure this vile race is utterly eradicated from the cosmos!"

"Yes!" The blue race warrior behind him hesitated briefly before acquiescing to the command.

"Wait," a towering blue race warrior stepped forward from behind. An ice axe rested atop his head, sharp and chilling, and his entire presence radiated immense power. His features bore an uncanny resemblance to the Sevun Ultraman of the Sevun race.

Yet his body was entirely blue.

Blue was regarded as the hue of inferior races.

He was the esteemed warrior of the blue race, Chupite Ultraman, hailed as the "Light of the Blue Race." As the pioneering challenger against the red race's formidable Sevun, his influence among the blue race was profound. In essence, he served as a catalyst for change; his defeat had ignited the blue race Ultramen's uprising.

Chupite regarded that mountain-like silhouette and let out a faint sigh. "Blue Race Lord" Jiaci Ultraman, though possessing extraordinary strength, his extended reign had fostered greater arrogance and aloofness. His commands were often cold, ruthless, and devoid of empathy.

Fortunately, his contributions to the blue race were universally acknowledged. Despite his flaws in temperament, his combat prowess and leadership acumen were undeniable. It was under his guidance that the blue race had risen to its current prominence—this flagship vessel, typically reserved for red or silver race members.

Once, blue race Ultramen had not even the privilege of boarding it.

But now, they could muster their own forces, command their own fleet, and pilot this mighty ship. All of this was owed to Jiaci, a feat once unimaginable.

"Allow me to lead the New Universe Security Force there. They are our comrades; as captain, I must assume responsibility for their lives!"

Jiaci turned, his gaze lingering a moment before replying, "Your time is limited. At most ten minutes until the Miracle Laser Cannon is fully charged."

The unspoken understanding was clear: if the New Universe Security Force members could not be rescued within those ten minutes, the ship would return. For the Miracle Laser Cannon, the flagship's primary weapon, wielded power beyond compare, capable of obliterating an entire planet in a single strike.

"Agreed!" Chupite nodded gravely. He was no longer the blue race Ultraman defeated by Sevun in a prolonged battle.

Having wandered the cosmos, honing his skills through relentless blood and fire in the New Universe Security Force, he had crossed the threshold of death countless times.

His strength surged rapidly; next time he faced Sevun, victory would be his!

Chupite proceeded to a chamber where the New Universe Security Force members, upon seeing their captain enter, rose excitedly to their feet.

His eyes swept across their youthful faces as he declared, "Captain Jiaci has granted my request; he will reserve at most ten minutes for us!"

Observing their eager expressions, he nodded gently and continued:

"Within ten minutes, the Miracle Laser Cannon will fire. You all know its devastating power, so we have but ten minutes to rescue our fellow team members from the Megalon Star!"

"This is not a compulsory order but one of voluntary choice. Should any among you wish to accompany me to the Megalon Star, step forward."

Every member took a step ahead.

Chupite smiled. Even if they were blue race, it mattered not.

Though lacking the red race's superior might, they possessed an unyielding courage.

The Megalon Star was the stronghold of its people, teeming with ferocious and terrifying creatures.

Yet none of them would falter.
