Am I the only one in this team who is not Ultraman?

Page 128

He has the looks and the ability, but as for power and status? He can oversee global defense affairs at any time and mobilize all the world's defense forces to his command. How many people wouldn't admire and like such a person?

Therefore, people have always been concerned about Leo's love life, but Leo has always seemed to be single.

Who would have thought that Leo already had such a capable and handsome partner? Catherine sighed. She admired and idolized Leo more, but her best friends from college would probably be heartbroken when they found out.

My gaze toward Galatron changed instantly, filled with respect. Only Fujimiya pondered that this seemed to be a different person from the one he had seen last time, and the voice didn't seem to be the same as the one he had heard on the phone before. Could it be that he had misremembered?

"The work here is finished, so I'll be leaving now. Sorry to bother you all." Compared to when she arrived, Galatron now seemed exceptionally gentle and polite. Although she still had a blank expression, it made everyone feel much better.

"Oh no, it's alright. Why don't you stay for a meal?"

"No need, I need to go back early to cook dinner for Leo. Goodbye."

Good heavens, and she's also the thrifty and good at managing a household! I'm shocked, my own vice-captain actually managed to find a girl like this, it doesn't seem... that's so strange.

I dreamed about it, and if I were a girl, it would be hard not to like someone like Leo, he's just too reliable.

Hmm, is there a traitor within the Alchemy Star? Leo, who was preparing iced cola for His Majesty the Emperor, raised an eyebrow. "Can you confirm this?"

The dormitory that TPC assigned to Leo has now become his private kitchenette, with a bed at most for him to sleep in occasionally.

(It's almost certain, but I left an antivirus program on the main control system. I'm just not sure if there were any problems with the previous Alchemy Star R&D project.)

"Understood. I'll go check it again later to make sure there are no design problems with the most critical Max power system."

"Something happened?" Empera, who was lying on the bed reading comics, lazily turned her head to look, one hand supporting her chin. Judging from Leo's expression, he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"Hmm, there might be a traitor within Alchemy Star, but we're not sure who it is. I'm going through the personnel list."

Leo sat on the edge of the bed, and Ampera leaned against him skillfully, placing her hands on his waist, resting her chin on his shoulder, then gently biting the rim of her cup, sipping her cola, while looking at the list in Leo's other hand.

“Daniel, Catherine, Michelle, Klaus, Frau, Xu Tianyou, Kidona… including Imu and Fujimiya, and Horii and Nozue from the Victory Team, there are a total of eighteen people.”

"With so many people, it must be a bit troublesome to select them. I want to eat potato chips."

Ampera changed her position, sitting on Leo's lap with one hand on his shoulder. She was now a pure spirit, without mass, and everything she ate would become nourishment.

"Sigh, what a tyrant," Leo thought to himself, putting down his communicator and starting his daily routine of feeding people. "Actually, there's not much need for screening, because everyone is responsible for a different area. We just need to do some comparisons and spread a little word."

"The other side will just expose themselves?" Ampera bit into a potato chip, blinked, and looked at Leo, nodding.

"However, if there are traitors within Alchemy Star, then many of the projects they handled may have certain risks and hidden dangers."

"The most typical example is the Alchemy Star, which became the supercomputer Krixis created in its early stages, along with various defense facilities and radar systems."

If these projects run into problems, it would undoubtedly be a blow to Earth's defense efforts. Leo pondered this, then came up with some ideas. He finished the cola that Ampera hadn't finished and started searching on his computer.

"What should we search for?"

"I'm searching through all the important projects related to Alchemy Star and the list of people in charge, comparing the overlap, and combining that with their statements and arguments..."

Finally, Leo's gaze settled on Claude Eckart, an early member of Alchemy Star, a computer expert who participated in the design and manufacture of the European branch's supercomputer Krixis and the defense radar of Delta Space Station, as well as the design of the Atdis.

He was involved in a car accident a few years ago and later claimed that Earth would face a major crisis in the future. He was the main leader in the opposition to the TPC weapon upgrade within the Alchemy Star.

They believe that excessive human development and environmental destruction are the main causes of monster appearances, and that the development of weapons is meaningless.

"it's him?"

“Not sure, but if it really is him, then there’s a big problem.” Leo took out his communicator. “This is Leo. Please connect me to TPC Europe Branch Chief Marian.”

“Ms. Marian, yes, it’s me. My friend sent me a message after the meeting, saying that the newly designed main control system of Prometheus has been infected with a virus. I suspect there is a traitor on Alchemy Star.”

"Out of caution and for safety reasons, it is necessary to suspend the use of Chrysis and transfer the data to a backup server."

This was no simple matter. Marian thought about it for a long time on the other end of the phone. Leo notified her directly instead of holding a meeting, which was against the rules and procedures. But if everything had to be done according to the rules, the earth would have been blown up several times over.

“It’s difficult. Chrissis has stored all the data from the European branch over the past ten years. I can only do my best.”

"I will explain the situation to Director Sawai and the others immediately, just don't alert them."

After ending the communication, Leo rubbed his shoulders, wondering why Tilis and the others hadn't made a move yet.

"tired?"

"No, but speaking of which, shouldn't we try to solve your problem?" Leo looked at Emperor. "It's really inconvenient without a body, isn't it?"

"Do you find it annoying that I'm always following you around?"

"If I said yes... no, no, then it's definitely not."

Feeling that Emperor Empera's hand was already on his waist, Leo quickly shook his head to express his disapproval. Emperor Empera was slightly satisfied, and then leaned over to snatch the potato chip from Leo's mouth as revenge.

What a tyrant! Leo shook his head, took out his communicator to ask Tilis how things were going, but after thinking about it, he decided not to ask, deciding to trust Tilis.

Meanwhile, at the foot of a mountain in the Alps, Tilis flicked her light whip, and a large tree snapped in two with a crash, causing two Pitt aliens and several Icarus aliens to tremble in fear.

"Hurry up, dig faster, or you won't eat today!"

Honestly, these people take forever to finish such a small task. They've only dug a dozen hills and they're already complaining about being tired. Tilis doesn't want Leo to doubt her competence because of the delay.

She originally thought she could help Leo by coming here, but it turns out that she feels her fighting power at home is higher than that of Little Hilbargon and Magabassa, and her status might even be lower than that of Magabassa.

She was frustrated, but what could she do? Tilis had thought that her strength was among the strongest of the Reonics, but after being on Earth for a few days, she began to doubt her abilities.

If things continue like this, I'll only be able to compete with Gogolgon and the others for the nanny position.

Chapter 200 Old Mike: I Miss Home So Much

In the Dark Palace of the Imperial Galaxy in the Dark Universe, Emperor Empera gazed at Desrem kneeling before him. "So, you didn't find the Darkweave Cloth?"

"It is my dereliction of duty that I failed to complete the task you assigned me, Your Majesty." Desrem lowered his head, offering no further explanation. Failure to complete the task was failure to complete the task, and no amount of explanation would change that fact.

Mefilas, Grozam, and the recently returned Yapool, who were also paying homage to the emperor, all lowered their heads. Mefilas was pondering what to say to save Desrem, Grozam was also worried, and the Yapool were furious.

As for why Yapool was angry? Well, that goes without saying. Although most of the things Ako took were her own, the Evangelion Unit-01 Impreza wasn't!

Desrem didn't know what the others were thinking, but he ultimately didn't reveal the true nature of Darkweave and Empera. Although they weren't powerful, they were still the emperors he had served, and he couldn't bring himself to betray them.

"Desrem, do you think I'm so easily fooled?" A cold voice came from the dark throne, filled with uncontrollable rage. The powerful aura of the Dark Emperor Empera made it hard for everyone to breathe.

"I wouldn't dare!" Desrem lowered his head even further.

"You really don't dare? Don't forget who made what you're holding!" The Dark Emperor raised his hand, and Desrem was forcibly lifted into the air by the powerful psychic force, his whole body feeling as if it were being crushed.

"From the moment you returned to the Dark Universe, I knew you were lying. I was going to give you a chance, but you have deceived me time and time again!"

The reason Desrem could find the Darkweave Cloth was, of course, due to Emperor's dark power, which is why Emperor himself could sense the changes.

“Your Majesty!” Mefilas stood up. “Desrem is an invaluable talent. Impreza’s mass production still needs his supervision. Now that the evil Bogaru has escaped, please be lenient and let Desrem make amends.”

"Your Majesty, Desrem must have his difficulties. Please, for the sake of his past loyalty, show leniency," Grozam immediately pleaded for Desrem.

The Dark Lords, apart from Yapool, have known each other for a long time and have deep feelings for one another. They couldn't possibly watch Desrem be executed like this.

The Dark Emperor glanced at them coldly, and Mefilas and Grozam felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. The Yapool people also trembled involuntarily. They had known each other for so many years, but the Emperor had never shown them such an aura. This was the first time that everyone realized the gap between themselves and the Emperor.

"Do you also want to defy my will?" The powerful telekinesis that accompanied the Dark Emperor Empera's words overturned everything around him the moment they fell. Mefilas, Grozam, and the Yapool were all slammed against the walls and fell down.

The Yabo man was practically cursing him out. What does this have to do with me? I didn't plead for him, so why am I being beaten up too?

"Your Majesty, please spare us this time, considering our years of dedicated service to the Dark Universe!" Mefilas forced a smile as he looked at Emperor. "We will surely obtain the Ultimate Darkness for you!"

"Taking Ultimate Darkness is enough for me alone!" The Dark Emperor casually tossed his hand, and the Four Heavenly Kings crashed heavily to the ground.

"Considering your past contributions, I will spare you this time. But if you dare to betray me again, I will show no mercy! Get out!"

The Four Heavenly Kings had no choice but to force themselves to leave the Dark Palace and go outside. The Yapool people, who had been inexplicably afflicted, muttered that at least the Impreza matter was over, but then they heard the voice of the Dark Emperor, Emperor Empera, behind them.

"Immediately accelerate the mass production plan for Impreza. Depart in three days. I will personally lead the operation!"

Whether it's the recently rumored discovery of a powerful force on Earth, the pursuit of the evil Bogaru, or the destruction of the Darkweave, the Dark Emperor will definitely have to make a trip to Earth.

That's right. The Dark Emperor has no intention of taking back his other half. He is now freer and stronger than before, so the consciousness that split off from the Dark Cloth is no longer necessary.

Hearing the voices behind him, Grozam felt a pang of bitterness. They had sacrificed so much for the Dark Universe, only to be treated like this now. The emperor who had once been willing to hold off most of the Land of Light while injured to protect them was now nothing more than a tyrant.

But he couldn't betray them. His life had been saved by the emperor, and it was because of the emperor's appreciation that he had achieved his current status. Grozam could only help Mefilas and Desrem walk.

Mefilas's eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking. Then, all that remained was a sigh.

As for Yapool, he could only be supported by his Ace Killer, because the other three didn't like him much.

Wait a minute, Yapool suddenly realized a problem: there are seven Ultramen on the Earth that the Emperor is going to. Should he report this to higher authorities?

Forget it, the emperor is going through menopause right now. Anyone who messes with her is doomed. Besides, it's just seven Ultramen. They're no match for the emperor.

"Achoo!" ×7. In the ESCG command room, the seven people except Leo sneezed at the same time. Leo looked at them strangely, "You all have a cold?"

"It feels more like someone's talking about you behind your back. What are you looking at, Vice-Captain?" Captain Gento changed the subject, moving closer to Leo.

Leo's work had long since exceeded the ESCG's jurisdiction, and there were some things even Captain Gentoo couldn't understand.

"TPC's first round of screening list today has nearly two thousand people who meet the requirements. This standard is from three years ago. It seems that the pace of human transformation is accelerating this year."

"Although ESCG is no longer hiring, I still need to review some of the personnel arrangements."

After thinking it over for a while, Leo assigned Toma Kaito to the Special Investigation Division and sent a message to Mizoroki, asking him to keep an eye on him.

He's an Ultraman, after all. Putting him in the Armory would be a waste of his talent, but he'd be perfect for the Special Investigation Division.

[I'm watching you from the shadows]: Isn't this guy under surveillance by our Special Investigations Division? Why did you throw him here?

[I really don't want to work overtime]: He's Ultraman Max, you get it.

Gou Lümu, on the other end of the communicator, fell silent. "What did they slip in?" he asked, glancing at the message.

[I really don't want to work overtime]: That's pretty much the situation. Also, the time machine we discovered mentioned that there's a huge darkness lurking inside TPC. Could you send someone to investigate? I don't have enough time.

In this day and age, Leo would have to split himself into several parts to use if he could create multiple clones, as there's never enough time to work.

【I'm watching you from the shadows】: So, do you think it's possible that the huge darkness lurking inside TPC is actually the two of us?

Leo was momentarily speechless, after all, his entire body was now the ultimate darkness, and the ultimate darkness was even chasing after him. No one would believe him even if he said that he was actually a planetary spirit inside.

[I really don't want to work overtime]: I'm particularly suspicious of Yamaoka Hajime from the Science Research Department. Could you see if you can send someone to keep an eye on him?

【I'm watching you from the shadows】: Why not just send Kaito Toma? He's a newcomer with little information, so it's easier to arrange things for him. Besides, as an Ultraman, he's bound to have a more sensitive reaction to dark auras.

[I really don't want to work overtime]: That's not necessarily true. None of the seven Ultramen in our team have realized that I'm a criminal.

So Goroki fell silent. What kind of Martian language is this? Maybe I should put in some eye drops and take another look. Hmm, a team of seven Ultramen plus a Reionics who's even stronger than Ultraman. Director Sawai's eye for talent is really amazing... Just kidding!

"Director, are you doing this on purpose?" Gou Lumu slapped his forehead. "They're really good at choosing people. Is ESCG crashing every day because these people are looking for an opportunity to transform?"

【I'm watching you from the shadows】: I'll assign him to the TPC logistics department, using him as a pawn to draw the enemy's attention, while I investigate from the shadows.

Leo had no objection to the plan, but Higashima Kaito had somehow ended up back at the armory, showing that the logistics department and the armory were still closely connected.

Has Tilis's situation not been resolved yet? There's only one hour left before I get off work, and the whole family has to have dinner together tonight... Hmm, what's with this gaze?

Leo looked up, met the eyes of the other seven, and raised an eyebrow. "Are you guys free? Want to go help out at the armory?"

Everyone immediately lowered their heads and pretended to be doing their own thing, but they could all sense that Leo, this nuclear-powered steelworker who worked overtime, was unusually not thinking about his work, but rather seemed to be thinking about someone.

As expected, the vice-captain is in love. Everyone except Fujiwara Juri nodded in agreement. They were the same way when they were dating, always thinking about their sweethearts.

"How about letting the vice-captain leave work early today?" Everyone looked at Captain Gento again, and then nodded. Captain Gento cleared his throat, "Ahem... Hmm?"

Before he could even say what he wanted to say, another urgent alarm suddenly sounded around him. Captain Stringman's eyebrows twitched. Sigh, why does this happen every time?

"An unusual energy reaction has been discovered in the European Alps!"

"ESCG, move out. The European branch's defense force has other things to do. We'll get there as soon as possible."

Each branch dispatched a defense force to the Mars defense line to intercept the fleet from Reicuran. Furthermore, due to the temporary system upgrade announced by Krixis, defense forces were also needed to participate in the protection work.

There's no need for ESCG to intervene; Leo has already instructed Aya to lie in wait and step in to help if things go wrong.

It seems that Tilis has already unearthed the seal in the Alps. Hmm, let's hurry up and finish this and get ready for dinner. Leo took out his phone and started calling for reinforcements.

On the other side, Tilis looked at the deep pit that the Pitt aliens and Icarus aliens had just dug and the powerful dark aura emanating from it, and nodded with great satisfaction. Finally, she had found it.

"Now we just need to wait for His Highness to arrive." Tilis took out her fighting device, which was close to undergoing a transformation. She had accumulated a lot of combat experience, mainly because she had fought a lot of Golza yesterday afternoon, and her experience bar had been rising rapidly.

However, the long experience bar all belonged to Tilis herself. There was nothing she could do about it; it was all because her Black King was so useless, with the dignified bodyguard monster hiding behind his master all day long.

"This is the ultimate darkness... Tsk, I feel like I'm losing control just by getting a little close. I really don't know how Your Highness can remain completely unaffected."

Tilis found it incredible that Leo could absorb so much ultimate darkness without being affected, but when she thought about Leo's age, it became even more unbelievable.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Tilis's gaze sharpened, and she vanished from her spot in an instant. Before the exhausted Pitt and Icarus aliens could react, the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled, and then a blue beam of light shot out, engulfing them all in an instant.

The blue beam of light shot straight into the sky, piercing through the atmosphere and reaching space, causing the thick clouds in the sky to disperse.

The immense power contained within startled Tilis. This beam of light alone could have killed her Black instantly. What on earth was sealed underground? She hadn't even dug up a large seal.

Meanwhile, the sudden appearance of this extremely pure dark aura made Kaito Touma, who had just finished the test, feel a chill. He almost thought that Alien Empera had come in person, but the darkness was only pure and not powerful enough to be that strong.
