Xie Qiu was an ordinary delivery rider on Blue Star, working himself to the bone every day for an ordinary income. One day, while making his usual deliveries, he came across a criminal attacking someone. Without time to think, he stopped his electric scooter and rushed to intervene, but he was no match for the assailant and was injured. Still, he gritted his teeth and held on until help finally arrived. Then he collapsed. He thought he was done for, but through the haze, he saw a beam of light descend upon him. Before him stood an Ultra Warrior he had never seen before.
Xie Qiu: “Who are you?”
The unfamiliar Ultra Warrior: “I am... Serks. Young warrior, your will has moved me. Accept... my power.”
Xie Qiu: “What?!” Before he could react, the Ultraman shot straight into his body, and he lost consciousness. When he woke again, he found himself lying in a hospital bed, with nothing unusual about him. Had it all been a dream? Xie Qiu had no idea that his fate had already changed. He was about to face a vast conspiracy centered on this fragile planet!
