"Sure enough, everyone has grown over the past few years. And aside from Gu Yue, each of them has surpassed their strength at the same point in the original story."
"Since that's the case, I'll switch powers and have some fun with them too."
With that thought, Lan Kai entered the little black room once more, took out a brand-new card, and inserted it into the Orb Ring.
"Senior Taro!"
"Ultraman Taro!"
"Senior Mebius!"
"Ultraman Mebius!"
"Power of blazing heat, please!"
"Fusion Up!"
"Ultraman Orb: Burn Form!"
As scorching flames erupted, Lan Kai's transformation changed into another appearance. Red and silver became the dominant colors on his body, accented by golden stripes.
A pair of large, horn-like protrusions also grew from either side of his head.
While blocking everyone's attacks with the eruption of blazing flames, Lan Kai flipped and twisted through the air with the light agility of a swallow. Finally, he locked onto Xie Xie's true body and unleashed a swallow-style flying kick.
This time, Xie Xie did not even have time to let out a shrill sonic boom before Lan Kai kicked him into a state of mouth agape and eyes shut. His eyes then rolled back, and he fell unconscious.
The next moment, fierce flames suddenly burst from Lan Kai's body, and he charged straight at Gu Yue.
"Strium Blast!"
Seeing Lan Kai rushing toward her wreathed in raging fire, Gu Yue's first reaction was to evade with her spatial power.
But when she saw Lan Kai spread his arms as though he wanted to embrace her, Gu Yue somehow failed to activate her teleportation. Instead, she stood there blankly, waiting for Lan Kai to hug her.
Lan Kai could not help but freeze for a moment before realizing what Gu Yue might have been thinking.
