"What is the approximate strength level of the Reijuran aliens?" Staff Officer Fukami, who was in charge of logistics, was most worried about him.
"Hmm... According to the Machina and Lebik aliens, their individual quality is not as good as Gadi's. If they are tied together and risk their lives with all their courage, they might be able to kill an EX Pedanium Zetton."
Hearing Leo say that, Staff Officer Fukami breathed a sigh of relief. So that's all he's capable of? Well, it's alright then. It seems the logistics department won't be under too much pressure this time.
As everyone was discussing things in the ESCG command room, an alarm suddenly went off. Leo glanced at it and said, "An invasion from space has been intercepted. Let me take over."
Soon, an image flashed on the big screen, and a Reicuran alien appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Listen up, Earthlings! I am General Zoka of Reichuran!"
Why does this alien have such a pointed head? Everyone, including Leo, wondered, but as they watched the other party perform, General Zoca assumed that the group was simply terrified by him.
"Because Earthlings attacked our Reicuran travel ships without authorization, our citizens have gone missing or are even in danger of dying. You have three days (Earth time) to give us an answer, or Reicuran will launch an attack on Earth!"
"Three days?" Leo thought that after three days, Maga Orochi might have already appeared, and who would have time to deal with these guys?
Moreover, saying it will only last three days is probably just a way to lull people on Earth into a false sense of security; Gondo won't fall for that.
“That’s right, three days.” General Zoka nodded, but in reality, the fleet from Reicuran set off immediately upon receiving the news and would soon arrive in the solar system.
Regardless of the strength of Earthlings, once the fleet has set sail, there's no reason for it to return. The main reason is that Earth's environment is so good that it's truly enviable.
Although there are monsters, they are probably not many or very strong, since even humans, with their limited scientific and technological level, can handle them.
"You are not worth Earth wasting so much time on. If you want to fight, fight. Stop talking nonsense. Our Earth is not your backyard, where you can come and go as you please."
"There are still three days left. Your fleet is probably almost at the solar system by now. Let me be frank, Earth will not agree to any of your conditions."
Compromise? Earthlings and monsters have been fighting for ten years and have never bowed their heads. Are we going to compromise with the Reicuran aliens? So this matter was never going to be discussed in the first place.
"Fine, Earthlings, you're so ungrateful. Then don't blame us Reicuran people for being impolite."
Leo rolled his eyes, then took out his communicator and glanced at it. Galatron had already spotted the Reicuran alien fleet not far from the solar system, and even asked Leo if he should send Ako to deal with them.
To get rid of her? If you let Ako do it, that girl would probably just beat them to death. Don't be fooled by the fact that Ako seems to sit at the same table as Dimaga at home; she's a genius that the Yapool people themselves acknowledge.
Seeing that Leo wasn't so nervous, everyone realized that their opponent wasn't very good, and they didn't bother with General Zoca's shouting anymore.
"Daigo, is Shinjo alright?" Captain Gento looked at Daigo, and Leo instinctively leaned over. "What happened to Shinjo?"
"On their way back from the mission, the Xincheng team members were attacked by a mysterious white light and then passed out. They are currently under examination and supervision."
White light? Leo pondered for a moment. Could it be the same one he encountered when he arrived? He should go and take a look later.
"Hey! You Earthlings, don't be so arrogant!" General Zoka slammed his fist on the table. He was a great general of Reichuran, and even the Naga people respected him. How dare these Earthlings treat him like this?
No, could these Earthlings really have some methods we don't know about? General Zoca instantly became alert, and Leo then remembered that the call hadn't ended yet, so he kicked him out of the Earth network.
"These damn Earthlings... tsk, 2338, go connect to Earth's network and see just how strong they really are."
"Understood, General!"
The Reicuran alien 2338 quickly got to work and connected to Earth's news network, where information about Earth appeared before his eyes.
"Well, the most powerful weapon is called the Texas Beam, which has the power to take down Melba in one shot, but it's not very effective against Gadi... Oh, so they call the barrier monster Gadi."
"Three months ago, Golza appeared, causing massive casualties and wiping out the Earth Defense Force. Later, Golza was defeated by Gadi, and a city was destroyed as a result?"
A large amount of data flashed before General Zoka of the Reicuran aliens, and he quickly burst into laughter, "I thought Earthlings were something special, that they couldn't even handle a monster like Gadi."
"It seems these guys have absolutely no idea what our planet Reicouran is capable of. Heh, I'll teach them a lesson that arrogance comes at a price!"
Eight years have passed, and as expected, Earthlings' technological level hasn't improved much, so there's nothing to worry about now.
"Pass on my order to launch a direct attack on Earth, force them to hand over Earth, and expel all Earthlings!"
"But remember, the Earth will belong to us from now on, so try not to damage the Earth's environment. These are all rare treasures."
Just as the Reicuran aliens were getting carried away with their triumph, Ako, back at the Galatron Jupiter base, quickly put down her coffee and looked at the number of visitors displayed on the big screen. "Finally, someone has fallen for it."
After wiping her mouth, Yako pressed the start switch with full power, and then... well, she continued to slack off.
Anyway, the editing of false information can be handled by the information blocking device 882 developed by Galatron. This thing is highly intelligent and can easily find all the news about the past on Earth, change the dates, and exaggerate the casualty figures.
Galatrom went to great lengths to trap these aliens. The Information Barrier Device 882 redirected any aliens outside the Earth-Moon system who attempted to access Earth's network to a server that Galatrom himself had set up.
The entire network system contains tens of thousands of fake addresses, ranging from TPC's core database to ordinary tabloid news, with one or two thousand new ones added every day.
"Well done, bye-bye! I'll have Sister Galatron give you an extra chicken leg later!"
Ayako gave the main control computer a thumbs up. She had previously asked Galatron why the information shielding device had an "882" suffix. According to Galatron, it was a homonym for the Babar aliens.
The Babar aliens are masters of deception in the universe. They even plotted to steal the Ultra Key, nearly causing Earth to collide with the Land of Light.
"Reply: This machine is a mechanical creation and cannot eat things like chicken legs like living beings. However, based on the analysis, this should be considered encouragement. Please change it to Leo's praise."
"...Truly worthy of being an intelligent system created by Sister Galatron, its love for Leo is so undisguised."
Yako muttered something to herself, then turned around and continued with her own business. She had thought she could do something for Leodor, but she found that with Galatrom around, she could only help out.
Even if she brought out her entire super beast army, it wouldn't be a match for the three MK2s in Galatrom's hands, not to mention the four hundred Galaoguma legions that were undergoing upgrades and optimizations.
Is my only role to take responsibility and push things along in the future? No way! Ayako still has dreams, which is why she chose to apply for a project on her own.
"Ayako!" Leo's voice came from not far away. Ayako was so startled that she almost knocked over the coffee on the table. She quickly stood up and straightened her clothes and hair in front of the glass next to her. Hmm, perfect!
There are too many girls in the family, so to ensure competitiveness, you have to have your own unique characteristics. For example, Ako's advantage is that she is the only JK (high school girl) in the family, and she is not a "three-no" (no name, no address, no ID). She even specially got a set of school uniforms for ordinary people.
"Yako, you're here. Perfect timing. Is the information jamming device active again?"
Leo, who had rushed over, peered at Yako, and the mechanical voice of 882 quickly came through.
"This machine is functioning normally and has successfully misled more than ten visitors into misinterpreting information about Earth. Leo, has this machine performed its intended function?"
"He's asking for praise." Yako nudged Leo, who immediately reacted, "Good job, bye-bye! I'll add some oil for you later!"
"..." Seeing that 882 did not refute her that it was actually powered by the Max power system, Ako suddenly realized that this guy might be thinking of getting Galatron to add oil to power it?
Seriously? It's one thing for Leo's charm to work on aliens and monsters, but why is it affecting artificial intelligence as well?
"By the way, Leo, I have something really surprising to show you. Do you want to see it?"
“Of course.” Leo was eager to see what surprise Ayako had in store for him. Ayako promptly grabbed his hand and led him to her lab, where Leo’s attention was immediately drawn.
Looking at the red-gold, ferocious-looking, otherworldly superhero familiar to every Earthling, Leo couldn't help but utter its name, "Ace Killer..."
Ace Killer is an extradimensional superhuman created by the Yapool to fight Ultraman Ace. It is not a machine, but a biological weapon.
The one in Ayako's hand is certainly not the one that Yapool has, but rather an individual that she researched, improved, and recreated after obtaining various data about Yapool.
The research conditions provided by Galatron are much better than those in the Dark Universe. Tiga Killer is also stronger than Ace Killer alone. Of course, it still can't compare to Ace Killer, which has obtained the power of the four Ultra Brothers.
"That's right, but I prefer to call it the Tiga Killer."
"Huh, why is it called that?" Leo asked, puzzled. They weren't enemies with Ultraman.
At this moment, Yako gave a "you just don't understand" look and put her hands on her hips smugly.
"This was actually Tyrant's idea for me. She read a lot of comics and martial arts novels and said that these days, people who choose a name that is supposed to restrain something often end up being restrained by it."
"The reason why Ace Killer was named that back then is because he absorbed the ultimate moves of the four Ultra Brothers and was still killed by the real Ace. I think that makes a lot of sense."
So you named it Tiga Killer, right? Anyway, as long as you don't go up against Tiga, you're invincible. Leo couldn't help but laugh, then pinched Aya's cheek. "That's a brilliant idea. When are you going to prepare your Gaia Killer, Nexus Killer?"
"I didn't prepare for that. It's mainly because Tiga has many skills, and it's easier for Tiga Killer to learn and improve. I also created two other Ace Killers, but I plan to make them into Spark Dolls for you, Leo. I'll keep two for myself."
Making a Spark Doll for Leo wasn't intended to increase his fighting power. The ordinary Ace Killer wasn't even as powerful as Pedanium Zetton for Leo. But Ako knew that he liked watching Ultraman and would definitely like Ace Killer.
"Is this a good idea? Think about it, you just created it and then gave it to me?" Leo really liked it. Although it wasn't very useful, he could still use it occasionally when he transformed to fight Golza.
"Nothing is impossible. I am yours completely, so everything I have is yours too."
Ayako's smile was exceptionally bright. Looking back, she thought she had been tricked, but now she had no regrets at all. She was happy to have met Leo and the others, and now she could openly tell Leo her feelings.
Ampera: ?
Miss Empera, inside Leo's mental world, sensed something was amiss. Why were these guys being so proactive today? They were practically slapping the word "love" in Leo's face.
Renlong is one thing, but you, Yazi, dare to sneak away right in front of me?
Sensing that His Majesty the Emperor was very unhappy, Leo could only comfort Emperor while rubbing Ayako's head. Ayako's words were a bit too direct and too heavy.
"It's okay if you don't answer, the facts won't change because of it!" Yako laughed happily. Anyway, she knew she couldn't compete with those leading ladies, so she wasn't in a hurry. Judging from Leo's appearance, she knew that she wasn't without charm.
However, the thought that she was actually decades older than Leo made Ako feel strange and guilty, but... it also felt really good. What Ako really wanted to do right now was to turn around and rub Leo's head.
"I need to hurry back. TPC headquarters is preparing to hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with the Reicuran aliens. I'll leave things here in your care, Aya. Oh, and the whole family is going out for barbecue tonight!"
Watching Leo wave goodbye, Ako waved back, then casually sat down in her chair and spun around.
"The whole family went out... Family, it's so good." Yako's lips curled up. "Now I have my own family too."
Chapter 199 Tilis's Worries
"What else can we say? We can't exactly suggest peace talks, can we? Let's fight then. It's obvious they're after Earth. Do they really think they'll retreat once they find that missing Reicuran alien?"
As for how to deal with the Reicuran aliens, Leo has already made his stance clear, and the others in TPC share the same opinion; there is no room for surrender here.
Seeing everyone nodding, Leo couldn't help but cover his face, "Since none of you have any objections, then why hold this meeting?"
Everyone fell into deep thought. Yes, since we're going to fight anyway, and no one objects, why hold this meeting? Sigh, we're used to it.
"The main thing is that the other party is, after all, a space civilization, so it wouldn't be appropriate not to have a meeting."
"Yes, and there wasn't a single top-level meeting this afternoon, so I'm still getting used to it."
"Let's make do with what we have. We also need to discuss the Prometheus manufacturing plans for each branch and major power. Has the new main control system been completed?"
Leo sighed helplessly. Look at how he's been forced to work overtime every day for a month by this group of people, and there are even instant noodles in front of several branch representatives.
"The main control system is complete, but for its security reasons, I asked a trusted friend to help with the verification. The results should be available soon."
The trusted friend Leo mentioned was none other than Galatrom, making Galatrom the best choice to verify the system's reliability.
As for whether others have any objections? Although it's unknown whether the people Leo found are reliable, Leo himself is definitely reliable, so no one has any objections. The Prometheus, or rather the Desfasa, was personally taken back by Leo.
"Furthermore, considering the needs of various battles, by utilizing the variability of Goblinum, the Prometheus we created can also transform into the Desfaza. Pretty cool, right?"
The representatives silently gave Leo a thumbs up. He was really cool. The Desfasa could definitely do more than the Prometheus, which was just a warship.
"Won't we need to mobilize the global defense forces this time?"
The representative of the European branch asked instinctively, "Mobilizing the global defense forces normally requires an application, but Leo is currently the only one exercising this right. Ever since the Goblin incident, everyone has assumed that Leo has this authority."
"No, just send one unit from each branch. Let the Prometheus and Atlas attack and strafe with the new Max cannons. If that doesn't work, just drop the Zelda bombs."
"If that doesn't work, Dr. Otomo just made contact with the Taganura. We can find about twenty Taganuras, feed them well, and that will be enough for anti-aircraft firepower."
Seeing Leo's nonchalant attitude, everyone pondered carefully. So, were the Reicuran aliens really that bad? Or is our Earth currently in a novice protection period under the great cosmic matching environment?
This summit meeting was probably the most relaxed one TPC had had in a month. Everyone even had time to chat about what to have for lunch. Leo even wanted to brag that his lunch was delivered by Miss Renlong.
After the meeting ended, Leo yawned, feeling surprisingly sleepy. As a Leonic, he shouldn't be sleepy; this might be a premonition of a dream.
However, today's plan hadn't even started yet. Leo roused himself, returned to the command room, and gave a brief overview of the mission.
Meanwhile, Galatron also finished inspecting the entire Prometheus new main control system. Facing this lady whom they had never heard of before, Imu and the others were initially not very trusting of her.
After all, the main control system of the New Prometheus was completed by him, Fujimiya, and everyone on Alchemy Star. Although it didn't take long, its capabilities were undoubtedly stronger than those of the Monera aliens.
So I dreamt that the other party probably couldn't figure anything out... What, the vice-captain introduced him? That's alright then, he must be a computer expert!
"Yes, the inspection is complete. The main control system is perfect and can be used directly on the Prometheus. However, a few things need to be adjusted. These preset values are relatively conservative for the performance of the Prometheus."
Galatron discovered far more problems than just this, but that's all she could say for now. She had actually just discovered a Trojan virus in the core program of the main control computer.
Aside from Gamu and Fujimiya, the only remaining people are from Alchemy Star. This means that there are spies among the Alchemy Star people, and the other party obviously wants to take control of all Prometheus ships by replacing the main control system.
However, Galatron also secretly left behind a targeted antivirus program. Once the Trojan is activated, the antivirus program will start directly, but this matter still needs to be reported to Leo.
"Thank you so much for your help, um..." I Meng then realized that she didn't even know the lady's name. The lady had said she was there to help as soon as she arrived, and only mentioned that she was introduced by Leo. She was a woman of action.
"This is my business card."
Galatrom handed me her business card, and I instinctively read it aloud, "Galatrom Knicks...this surname sounds familiar."
"That's the vice-captain's surname." Fujimiya reminded him slightly, and only then did Imu realize what was going on. Leo's surname was Nicholas, but everyone was used to calling him Leo, and no one remembered that his full name was Leo Nicholas.
The people from Alchemy Star looked at them with confusion, clearly it was the first time they had ever heard of Leo's surname.
"Are you the vice-captain's sister?" Since the other party had come to help and might be related to Leo, Fujimiya was still quite polite. He guessed that the other party might be Leo's long-lost sister.
Galatron shook her head in denial, saying she didn't want to have just that kind of relationship with Leo. "I'm not related to him by blood; I just share his surname."
Upon hearing this, Fujimiya could hardly control his expression, and Gamu was so surprised that his jaw dropped. The people of Alchemy Star were also astonished.
It's no joke that Leo's global fame surpasses that of the superstar Maya. He's handsome, possesses an undeniable blend of gentleness towards his own people and decisiveness towards his enemies, and is recognized by TPC as a peace star, having defeated Lava Golza as a combat hero.
