Chapter 172: News about the King of Ultraman Grandpa

The black fur is as radiant as silk, with beautiful red patterns on the legs, ears, and tail. There are also some pale purple accents on the face. The fierce eyes make it look handsome and untouchable.
It seems that the black and red cat is not used to the hot gaze of the crowd. It turns its head away proudly and buries it in Lin Lan's arms, with only its tail sticking out, showing off.
However, the innocent cat does not know how much charm his "refusal" appearance will have on the human race.
"So cute..." Even the usually calm vice captain couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand and whisper.
"Dadi, let me go with you and the doctor to do research next time!" Asuka turned her head to look at Dadi, with a burning gaze that conveyed the message: "If you don't agree, you're done."
Meanwhile, Takada Rui, who was already in the research team, was more direct and pounced on the black cat in Lin Lan's hand, saying, "So cute~ Let me hold it!"
Lin Lan didn't stop her and openly let go of the cat, exposing it. Unfortunately, the black and red cat sensed Takada Rui's approach and without any mercy, crouched down, gathered its strength, and pounced, wildly scratching!
And then Lin Lan grabbed the back neck meat of fate, while Liu Yi squatted on the ground and whimpered for the deceased glasses.
"Lin Lan... Is this cat-like data entity your recent research result?" Dr. Gelman, who has a different aesthetic sense from humans, remained calm and analyzed the data on the instrument before coming to a conclusion. "Could it be that you... are able to materialize data and give it life? If that's the case, our research on virtual monsters will surely make breakthrough progress!"
"It's not as impressive as you make it out to be, Dr. Gorman," Lin Lan said, gently stroking the fluffy black and red cat, as she chuckled. "When I obtained the data from 'X,' it already had a shallow level of consciousness. All I did was materialize its data entity."
"That's also quite a remarkable feat," Dr. Gelman patted his belly and grinned, "After all, as far as we know, the technology to materialize data is only in the hands of a few top civilizations, and some civilizations have even been destroyed by this forbidden technology... Hey, wait a minute." Dr. Gelman finally reacted belatedly, "X?"
"That giant?" It was a serious matter, and Captain Shenmu also became serious. "Dr. Lin Lan, could it be that this Ultraman's origin is from the data level?"
"Aix!" Dadi quickly scrolled through the terminal and woke up the recovering Aix Ultraman. "Take a look at the cat in Dr. Lin Lan's hands. Do you have any connection with it?"
"I also heard what the young man said," affirmed X, "this black and red cat was indeed generated from data conversion, but I did not sense any of my own powers in it, and in fact... felt a bit repelled by the cat."
At the same time, the cat, who was squinting and dozing, suddenly perked up its ears, arched its back, and snarled at the ground, emitting a low growling sound from its mouth.
"Huh?" the ground was startled, and suddenly flustered, "What's happening? I didn't do anything!"
"Alright, stop messing around." Lin Lan calmly hugged the cat in her arms and injected a dark energy once again, concealing the unrestful AEX data inside the cat. She smiled ambiguously and said, "Just as the earth said, shouldn't unknown things be called 'AEX'? The data of this cat was obtained accidentally and its origin is unknown, so there is nothing wrong with calling it 'AEX', right?"
"Even so, the names of the giant and the cat are the same..." The Falcon team member twitched his mouth.
"I always feel a kind of 'Beauty and the Beast' contradiction." Added the Ardu team member.
Lin Lan shrugged noncommittally, apparently not inclined to give up his perverse sense of humor. He knocked on the table, gesturing for everyone to be quiet, and then addressed the matter at hand:
"Captain Shenmu, after my observation and measurement, it can be confirmed that the Ultraman named 'Aix' does indeed possess some properties of virtual data."
In the brightly lit meeting room, the young man in a white coat seemed to bring a sense of darkness with him, as if the light was all absorbed by the black cat in his arms.
“I think… the virtual monster technology may have a new direction for development.”

After the meeting, Captain Shenmu organized the files and suddenly covered his face, sighing with some weariness.
The third item of the meeting, "Analysis of intelligence on the Black and Red Ultraman", completely slipped my mind...
In the second half of the meeting, Dr. Lin Lan's topic on "Virtual Monster Armor" captivated the interest of all team members. The girls discussed the aesthetic design of the armor, while the boys fantasized about its strength and capabilities. The research team, in particular, exhibited a tremendous passion, to the extent that it turned into a full-fledged technical seminar later on...
"Sure enough, it's better not to invite Dr. Lin Lan to attend the meeting next time..." Captain Shenmu sighed heavily, "I wonder where Dr. Lin went after the meeting ended..."
————
Where did Dr. Lin Lan go?
Answer: Dr. Lin Lan went to a magnificent and grand spacetime city thousands of light-years away from Earth.
After that experiment, you finally took action against the Ultraman warriors, and you even transformed them into this appearance...
A stranger in black and gold feathered clothes and a mask looked at the black and red cat on Lin Lan's shoulder and couldn't help but grin.
With his strength, he could naturally sense the Ultraman energy buried in darkness and was even more impressed by Lin Lan's feat.
The vastness of the universe, who could have made the Ultraman into such harmless creatures that can even be carried around like pets?
Only this mighty record keeper!
"This little cat is called Aix, to be precise, it's Dark Aix," Lin Lan leaned back in her chair, sipping coffee, and said leisurely, "Go, have a few moves with Ettar."
Dark X turned his head in response, with a look of "this cat doesn't want to talk to you," but still obediently jumped off Lin Lan's shoulder. The dark energy and Ax's data merged and materialized in the air, forming a black and red Ultraman warrior!
Dark Aegis, fusion complete!
Without negotiations, Dark Aegis launches its ultimate move directly, casting Dark Attacker X (Dark Aegis Attack Light Ray) towards Ettalja!
Boom!
Etalga slapped away the dark flames, laughed heartily, and rushed forward eagerly!
The battle quickly came to an end, with the weakened dark Aegis cat lying on the ground, four legs swaying, still snarling at the towering Etalga, then being picked up by Lin Lan, gently stroking it, while glaring at Etalga with hostility in her eyes.
This stuff is so addictive, can't help but get into a fight...heartache.jpg.
"It seems that only the fighting spirit is left." Aitaljaga felt uncomfortable under the reproachful gaze of Lin Lan, he touched his head, trying to break the awkward atmosphere, "But I can feel that he is constantly recovering, maybe one day, he will give birth to his own thoughts."
"Of course I know this, otherwise why would I keep it?” Lin Lan interrupted Etailjia angrily, "Let's get to the point. Since the last time we ambushed the Ultraman Belial Security Team in space and then left in the Time-Space City, where did you go? Why did you only appear now?"
"The flow of time in this universe is different from that of other universes, seemingly distorted," Etaal said. "In fact, only a few months have passed in the outside world."
"Distortion... is the influence of Gleeza," Lin Lan realized, but she listened as Ettaljia continued:
"I've spent so much time searching, actually because of a rumor in the universe, have you heard of it?"
"Huh?"
Ettar took a deep breath and said slowly, "The King of Ult has been sealed by a terrifying presence, and his power has declined... He has fallen from the throne and lost his former strength!"
Lin Lan: "......"
Lin Lan: "???"
