Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

Chapter 196 Ultraman - Don't you have a library?

After Fout's attempts to burrow into the ground against the monster Gabra proved ineffective, the monster soon emerged from the mountain.

"The target has come into view!"

"This is bad! We'll reach the abandoned nuclear facility after just one more mountain!" Shinji Kaminaga frowned and shook his head.

"If we're going to launch another attack, this is our last chance!"

"Compared to abandoned nuclear facilities, Gabra might contain even more radioactive material. Request a saturation bombardment immediately!" the captain analyzed.

Shinji Kaminaga sensed something was wrong and rushed out in one stride.

Perhaps because everyone in the command tent was engrossed in their own tasks, no one noticed that someone had run out.

Even Foster's own men didn't notice when Shinji Kaminaga ran away.

Soon, the people in the Fate team were moved, and Shinji Kaminaga also ran to a relatively far distance and activated his transformation device.

A surge of air and strange sound waves arose, and a giant in silver and red rose from the ground.

"Ultraman?"

"Wait a minute, how did he appear out of the ground?!" Taki Akihisa asked, but no one could answer his question.

Hiroko Asami was also extremely shocked.

"That's Ultraman? He's so beautiful..."

The original Ultraman appeared in his classic pose, shocking everyone, before slowly taking flight.

Upon seeing this, the captain quickly called his men to get in the car and head over.

Next up is the classic scene from the movie where Ultraman fights monsters.

The first generation kicked Gabrak straight into the mountains with a spinning kick.

Gabra charged at the First Generation with a sluggish thrust, successfully pinning him to the ground, but without even breaking his skin. After a flurry of sparks, Gabra was kicked away.

Upon seeing this, Gabra inserted two spiral-shaped objects, like braids, into the mountain behind him, stood upright, and opened the drill-like thing covering his head, just like opening a chrysanthemum.

Then, Gabra ejected a highly radioactive laser from his mouth.

To prevent the radiation from spreading, the first generation spread out his arms and used his pectoral muscles to withstand Gabra's laser beam, just like the classic pose in the tokusatsu series, and also absorbed the high-intensity radiation around him!

Although this version of Ultraman no longer has the timer on his chest and his body is even more slender, he is still very strong and manages to get close to it while withstanding Gabra's laser.

However, the red lines on his body gradually turned green.

Gabra was stunned by the first generation's move.

By the time the drill on Gabriel's head snapped shut, it was too late. The first Gabriel blocked the drill with a swift arm movement, then delivered a straight punch to Gabriel's forehead.

With a loud bang, Gabra fell straight down.

When the FOT members who arrived were shocked by Ultraman's power, they saw Ultraman lift Gabra's body and fly into the clouds.

Seeing this, Foster whispered to the members, "He took Gabra away."

"Is this because they're afraid Gabra will cause us harm if he stays on the ground?"

"Isn't it possible that leaving it on the ground would be just as difficult to handle as leaving it on the ground?"

"That makes sense."

"I don't know how he knew about Gabra's characteristics and our situation, and he even glanced at us before leaving, which was clearly a form of eye contact," Hiroko Asami said softly.

Soon, the team returned to the camp and saw Shinji Kaminaga, who had just disappeared and was smiling awkwardly.

Of course, the sensible captain didn't ask where the person had gone. After all, in such a chaotic place, it was good enough that the person was still alive. So he instructed the team members to pack their things and prepare to return to headquarters.

After all, the monster was successfully dealt with this time, and the Self-Defense Forces should go back. But the situation is different for the FOT team; they still have to write documents and records.

"Shinaga, let me know in advance where you're going next time," the captain said as they left.

"After so many battles with the Calamity Beast, I believe you should be familiar with it by now. Don't make the same mistake next time."

Acting without authorization isn't a huge deal, but it's still part of carrying out a mission. And there are only so many people nationwide who meet the standards, and they're all already in the team. They're tempted to expel them, but they're unsure. Will the next person to join be so obedient?

After all, Shinji Kaminaga is the best player.

Shinji Kaminaga nodded and said, "Okay, Captain. Next time I'll let you know before I go to the bathroom."

Upon hearing Shinji Kaminaga's answer, the captain paused, his expression hardening as if he wanted to speak. He smiled, patted Shinji's shoulder, and remained silent.

After all, everyone has to relieve themselves sometimes, and no one can demand anything from that reason.

Holding this in for too long can really kill you.

The other two female members in the group rolled their eyes and ignored them.

"Lipia".

On the way back, a voice rang in Shinji Kaminaga's ear, but to him it was no less than a thunderclap!

Shinji Kaminaga glanced at his teammates without showing any emotion. Seeing that they remained calm, he instantly realized that this was an action directed at him.

He wanted to use his Ultraman powers to search around, but being in a human body, he couldn't unleash any of Ultraman's skills and could only look around with his naked eyes.

"Don't bother, you won't find me." The other party seemed to know that I had just been looking for them and reminded me again.

Shinji Kaminaga also stopped searching with his naked eye.

Not only will it be difficult to find, but it may also be noticed by others.

"Hehehe, don't worry, I'll come find you." Then, the voice disappeared.

Shinji Kaminari waited for a while longer, and when the voice did not sound again, he closed his eyes and rested.

Upon returning to headquarters, Shinji Kaminaga, who had been criticized, took a few days off to adjust his condition, though the exact duration was not specified.

Ripia, who has taken on the identity of Shinji Kaminaga, plans to go to the library to read books and learn more about human social structures and interpersonal relationships.

After all, although their race was powerful, they had lost the emotional thinking and social relationships that a race needs because they had used unconventional rationality to understand the world for many years.

He needs to start learning all over again.

And the human race happens to have a considerable collection of related books.

Incidentally, he planned to wait for the mysterious voice, since the other party had said they would come looking for him again, so there was no need to go to the trouble of searching for it.

Moreover, possessing that mysterious ability to transmit sound, one is most likely an alien from another universe; Earthlings do not have such means.

The next day.

Ripia, now inhabiting the identity of Shinji Kaminaga, arrived at a quiet library. He flipped through the books very quickly, turning the page almost as soon as he glanced at them.

Of course, he was in a corner of the library, and no one else noticed him.

"Lipia".

The voice rang out again, causing him to pause as he turned the page. He didn't look around, because the voice was right beside him.

Looking toward the source of the sound, he saw a grown man who was at least two meters tall, with his head on the ceiling and arms as thick as a person's waist, looking at him.

“Ripia,” he began, “I said I would come to find you, but I didn’t expect you to come to the library. Doesn’t your race have a library?”
