Anime: Desolate Darkness

The transformation process of exTarant was as smooth as that of Silbagon, but it took a lot longer than the other, perhaps because it was too powerful.

After becoming a mutant, Ex Tyrant's lost organs grew back, such as the [Horn of Siglas] that was cut off by Mephisto, and the [Ear of Ikars] that was smashed by the mutant Hilbagun.

Its additional body changes, in addition to the fixed irregular tentacles, include the growth of bat wings similar to those of the alien beast Hyperzeton on its back.

As for the other two Xenomorphs, after the Xenomorph Hyperzetton devoured EX Gomora and EX Queen Elrey, there was no change in its body. Just like when it devoured the Ultra Beast Subotande, it simply gained the abilities of the other party.

As for the alien beast Hilbagon, in addition to the arms it obtained by devouring EX Red King, after devouring EX Baksim, it also grew a large red horn in the middle of its head.

By the time everything settled down, it was already five in the morning.

Mephisto made all the monsters return to the [Rainbow Magic Realm], which is the habitat of Hilbagon, the forest in the other-dimensional space.

Previously, the alien beast Hyperzeton was settled there by Mephisto. Otherwise, every time it came to support, it would have to fly back from the moon specially like the first time, which would be too troublesome.

After the three beasts and "Ao" left, it was not until around 8 o'clock in the morning that the logistics personnel of the "Monster Special Forces" dared to come and clean up the battlefield after using radar detection many times to confirm that the battle here was over.

After all, countless radioactive energies had erupted here before. If we cannot rule out the possibility of residual hidden dangers, this area must be closed off.

But the battlefield here covers too large an area, and the country is small. It would be too tragic if some areas were blocked because of this.

Before long, several large camps were set up outside the severely damaged crater. Helicopters and armored vehicles were parked everywhere, and many people carried instruments to explore the ground.

After exploring for 2 hours, someone found two stones, one red and one blue, both the size of an adult's palm, in a small hill of rocks.

The staff carefully picked up the two stones and carefully observed every detail of them. After testing with instruments, the staff were surprised to find that the two stones were not materials that had ever appeared on this planet.

Their composition and structure are different from those of the materials on this planet, which makes people speculate that they may be extraterrestrial products brought by that huge meteorite.

He quickly reported the discovery to the person in charge of the camp.

The person in charge was also very surprised and excited when he heard the news.

They immediately organized a team of experts to conduct a more in-depth analysis of the two stones.

After a period of research and experiments, the expert team finally came to a conclusion: the two stones are indeed products from outer space, and they may be materials from an unknown planet or star.

In order to better analyze the content of the substances contained in them, the person in charge ordered that the two stones be sealed separately and taken back to the headquarters for further research using the most advanced instruments.

……

Sobu High School.

Lunch break, office.

Because Matsusaka Sato was seriously injured and had not yet recovered, she was forced to take leave, so there was no scene where she, Kitagawa Umi and the other three competed for positions.

"Then I'll go out first. Remember not to make a mess." After leaving these words, Kimura Takumi left the office under the strange gazes of the four girls.

The strange thing was that this time, none of the four girls said "goodbye" to him.

Before, Kimura Takumi might have noticed this abnormal phenomenon, but now his mind was focused on the guy who bewitched him last night.

As he strolled down the corridor, he whispered to himself, "It really is Zaki, right?"

Apart from this, he really couldn't think of another suspicious guy.

But is this really the correct answer?

On the other side, inside the office.

He put his ear against the door to make sure that Kimura Takumi's footsteps had gone far away. Only when he could no longer hear them did Kitagawa Umi return to the sofa and sit down.

"Ryune, are you sure?" Thinking of the decision Ryune had told them this morning, she couldn't help but reveal a worried look, "Isn't this development too fast? What if Mr. Kimura doesn't accept it?"

"Yeah." Dakong also agreed, "Why don't we just forget it?"

"If Ryune fails, will Mr. Kimura not let us come here to rest for this reason?" Everyone was putting themselves in Ryune's shoes, except Noha Sugaya who said something inappropriate.

In addition to Ryune, Kitagawa Umi and Ozora both looked at Sugaya Noha with sharp eyes.

"I was wrong!" Noha Sugaya immediately lowered her head and clasped her hands together above her head.

Seeing this, the two did not pursue the matter any further and turned their attention back to Ryune, who was sitting in Kimura Takumi's seat.

Liuyin turned a deaf ear to the sound, and the scene of last night appeared in her mind. She and her friends were almost forced to leave this world without even leaving a last word...

After a long while, she collected her thoughts and pursed her lips: "It doesn't matter if I fail. I'm afraid that if I delay it any longer, I may not even have a chance..."

After these words were spoken, the office fell into silence. No one spoke again and everyone lowered their heads.

They both knew why the other party said that...

In the afternoon, it's time to go home from school.

Less than five minutes after the bell rang, Ryune appeared alone in Kimura Takumi's office.

Looking at the girl standing at the door with her head half lowered and her right hand tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, Kimura Takumi felt puzzled.

"Ryune-san, what's going on?"

Liuyin opened her mouth but could not say anything. She closed the door silently and walked in.

Kimura Takumi frowned, and the doubt in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Um... Mr. Kimura." Standing in front of Kimura Takumi's desk, she turned her face away, not daring to look at him.

"What does Ryūin-san want to say?" Noticing the slight blush on the other person's face, Kimura Takumi had a vague guess.

"On the first day of school, Mr. Kimura said...that he didn't have a girlfriend, right?" She said shyly while playing with her hands, glancing at Kimura from time to time.

If what I said just now was just a guess, then Kimura Takumi can now be said to be certain...

He clenched his right fist and put it against his lips, lost in thought. After a moment of silence, he said tactfully:

"That's true, but it's been so long, and I'm not the kind of person who will stand still."

"Huh?" Ryune stopped moving her hands and looked at Kimura Takumi with shock.

She found it hard to accept the fact. Even though she had guessed it, she wanted to confirm it herself. She forced a smile and asked, "Teacher...what does this mean?"

"..."
