Nexus World, at night, on the meadow by the river.

In the dim starlight, Gumen and Himiya sat side by side, each silent.

"You're the giant who fought in the factory that day, aren't you?"

Himiya was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

"Well, yes."

Gumen nodded generously and admitted that since Ji Yajun had the ability to accurately find his location and ask the question bluntly, it basically meant that he had already determined his identity, and it was useless to deny it.

Besides, Lone Gate was not prepared to hide his identity from Ji Ya.

"Mr. Himeya, you should be Nexus, right?"

Himiya's face was slightly surprised—not because Lone recognized him, but because he knew the name Nexus.

As a light adaptor, Himeya can use a little bit of Ultraman's power, such as Ultraman Barrier and telepathy, and at the same time, he can vaguely feel a slightly different light from himself on Lone Gate, but the same warm light.

Presumably, Lone Gate should be able to vaguely feel the presence of light from him.

But he didn't know the name of Ultraman after the transformation of Lonemon, and obviously, the name was not within the scope of perception.

However, Lone Gate knew the name of Nexus, which made Himiya a little surprised.

However, he didn't show this surprise on his face, but gave a friendly smile to the lonely door.

"Yes, I'm the fittest person of Nexus," Ji Ya didn't hide his identity either, "Also, you don't have to be so angry, you can just call me Zhun, after all, we should be comrades-in-arms for a while in the future." ”

"Hmm!" Gumen nodded, "My name is Gumen Yihui, and we will be comrades-in-arms in the future, Mr. Quasi!" ”

In other words, "fittestable" should be a word with the same meaning as "human body", right?

Gumen keenly observed that although the smile on Ji Ya's face was friendly and sincere, there was a sense of tiredness that could not be concealed, as if his body was now weak or his physical strength was exhausted.

"Mr. Zhun, you don't seem to be in good shape, how are your injuries?"

Gumen asked with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Himiya comforted, "I've recovered most of my injuries with the help of Stone Wings. ”

Although because of the characteristic that Nexus consumes the physical strength of the fittestable, he will consume his life, resulting in the current Ji Ya is somewhat weak, but compared to the plot, it is much better.

"Stone Wings? Is that the stone coffin that looked like a flying machine that day? ”

Lone asked.

"Well," Himiya nodded, "thanks to Stone Wing, I was able to recover my body and fight as soon as possible." ”

He took a closer look at Gumen's expression and found that Gumen looked quite healthy, and there was no sign of any damage on his body, and he was sincerely happy for him.

"It's great that you haven't been affected by becoming Ultraman now, I hope you won't be affected in future battles."

Ji Ya is happy for the lonely door, but also worried about the lonely door in the future, after all, the longer the battle, the more times the battle, the greater the price that the fittest will have to pay.

"Actually, it's still affected a bit."

Recalling the tremendous progress he had made in the past six months due to the strength of Mr. Dagu and Tiga, Gumen opened his mouth to "deny" it.

"Already affected?" Ji Ya frowned, his age is older than Gumen, and his social experience and life experience are far richer than Gumen, he is also an "Ultra Warrior", Ji Ya subconsciously cares about Gumen as a junior.

"Are you affected now?"

Himiya asked.

"Well......" Gumen compared his current self with himself half a year ago in his heart, and said, "If you want to ask me how I feel, I think it's actually quite big." ”

"How big?"

Ji Ya asked, his tone was unconsciously a little hurried, and he also felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Hmm...... Whether it is combat experience or physical fitness, I am more than one level better than my previous self, and I have also changed from an amateur who doesn't know anything to a fighter pilot with good skills. ”

Gumen said seriously.

Himeyajun: ???

What are you talking about? I asked you how much damage you suffered and what injuries you suffered in battle? You don't have to answer that even if you don't want me to worry, do you?

"No, Gumen, I'm asking how your body is now."

Himiya reiterated his question.

"Specifically, the strength should be a little more than double that of before, and the reaction speed should be about three times that of the previous one."

The solitary door gives relatively specific physical changes.

"I'm asking Gumen how much damage your body has suffered from the battle, whether your life has begun to be overdrawn, and have you recovered from the injuries caused by the battle?"

Himiya asked bluntly.

Lonely Door: ???

What are you talking about? What damage? What life overdraft? Also, isn't there only a small amount of injuries during battle that are reflected on the body of the human body? And isn't it possible to quickly recover from the injuries suffered in battle by just consuming a little energy?

The lonely door and Ji Ya, who had been chatting for a long time, looked at each other.

After a long time, the two of them, who suddenly understood what was coming, spoke almost at the same time.

Himeya: "Isn't it possible that you transform into Ultraman and fight without consuming your life?" ”

Lonedoor: "Could it be that you need to consume your life to transform into Ultraman to fight?" ”

“……”

“……”

Lone Gate and Himiya stared wide-eyed, after a brief silence......

Himeya: "Isn't it true that the injuries you suffered after transforming into Ultraman will not be reflected on yourself?" ”

Lonemon: "Could it be that all the injuries you suffered after transforming into Ultraman were reflected in yourself?" ”

“……”

“……”

The atmosphere between the two gradually became eerie.

Himiya: "Did you strengthen your body after you gained the ability to transform into Ultraman?" ”

Lonedoor: "Uh, yes. ”

Himeyajun: ......

Wait, I want to be quiet.

Ji Ya felt that his mentality had collapsed a little.

……

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhun is actually fighting at such a cost? I naively thought he was just as ...... as I was."

After experiencing a fatal awkward atmosphere, Lone Gate and Ji Ya still explained to each other their "encounter" after becoming Ultraman.,Although I felt a little prickly about the fate of the two of them.,But Ji Ya was quickly relieved.。

He became the fittest of Nexus only after Serra died for his mistakes, and deep down now, he had always believed that the power of light was a punishment for him, a way to redeem his soul.

"Maybe it's because people like me don't deserve the favor of the Light."

Regarding the completely different "treatment" of the two, Ji Ya made such an explanation.

If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Dagu promised him never to reveal his existence before he retreated to recover his energy, I'm afraid that the lonely door at this moment would have shouted excitedly to Ji Ya, "It's not like this!" "That's it.

But in the end, he could only say some painless comfort, exchanged contact information with Himiya, and then watched his somewhat weak figure disappear into the night with a heavy heart.
