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

Page 143

Based on long-term observation, the Destruction Bringer has confirmed that everyone inside ESCG except for Leo is basically an Ultraman. However, they really can't understand Leo's identity; his background is too complicated.

After all, it's a bit difficult to figure out Leo's identity without transforming into his awakened form. He looks black at first glance, but upon closer inspection, he's translucent, which is quite confusing.

But one thing is certain: Leo is the only one in this entire team who isn't Ultraman. As for him being a member of the dark forces? Tell me, which alien from any dark force could infiltrate such a team and be so beloved?

So no matter who Leo is, he can't stop the plan that's about to unfold!

Klaus Eckard is on the move. His goal is to find the TPC director, Chief Yoshioka, Staff Officer Nanbara, and other high-ranking personnel for a decapitation operation, especially Director Sawai, whose presence is too troublesome for the Destruction Summoning Entity.

A powerful reputation and outstanding abilities—a person who can unite the whole world is nothing short of a miracle. And this miracle is intolerable to their Destruction-Inducing Entity; it is a huge obstacle!

Through a series of actions, the Ultramen believed that their offensive was a metallic life form. At the same time, Klaus, who had already merged with the spiritual life form, used his special abilities to infiltrate TPC and carry out the decapitation plan!

Klaus already knew the internal structure of TPC headquarters by heart. In his spiritual form, he wouldn't be detected by anyone or any cameras. However, after arriving here, he realized that after several expansions, the structure of TPC was different from before, and he would have to put in some effort to find it.

What Klaus didn't know was that, besides himself, there was someone else who had infiltrated the organization—the Evil King.

Evil King's reason for infiltrating TPC was simple: to find people. He wanted to find the human hosts of those Ultramen, and he also suspected that Reiblood's successor might also be lurking in this base, because only in this way could he better keep track of the outside world's movements in real time, especially the Ultimate Darkness.

The death of Maga Orochi made Evil King realize that these Ultramen must be defeated one by one, preferably before they transform. Otherwise, what would happen if things turned out the same as before?

Moreover, Reiblood's descendant is also a troublesome one. He must have absorbed a lot of the power of Ultimate Darkness and needs to be eliminated as soon as possible. But the problem is that Evil King knows best how troublesome Ultimate Darkness is.

Well, since things have come to this, let's find someone first. Evil King hid himself and began searching around, but the more he searched, the more confused he became, because he found that everyone in the TPC headquarters was too bright-minded, and many of them were even comparable to Ultraman in terms of purity, only their influence wasn't quite as great.

This made the Evil King feel very uncomfortable. He was a collection of negative energy and had an innate aversion to positive emotions.

Just as he was passing by the research department, Evil King suddenly sensed a very pure dark aura, but it was very weak and he could not tell who was emitting it.

It seems he has found the right place. Reiblood's descendants must be here. He needs to be more careful. So, the Evil King concealed his aura even more deeply. Meanwhile, Zaki, who was full of resentment from working overtime on research and had dark circles under his eyes, also keenly sensed that something was wrong.

There was another darkness, comparable to itself... no, it was an even purer form of darkness than itself. Could it be the one secretly manipulating the monster?

If it's that guy, Zagi can understand it. After all, the other party has absorbed the ultimate darkness many times, so it's normal that the purity of the darkness is higher than his. It's just that the aura is very weak, and it's hard to tell who it is for the time being.

Zaki and Evil King kept imagining things in their minds, and then Touma Kaito walked in. "Dr. Otomo, here are the materials you needed. I've brought them all. But what are you researching this time?"

Upon seeing Kaito appear, Evil King and Zagi, who had intended to test each other's existence, immediately stopped. They couldn't detect each other's identities or existence, but Kaito's identity was far too easy to discern. This guy was actually the real Kaito, brighter than a light bulb on his head!

"Oh, this is what we're studying this time. It's a bronze statue excavated from an ancient site dating back 30 million years. I'm deciphering the inscription."

A bronze statue unearthed 30 million years ago? Zaki and Evil King immediately stared at the bronze statue covered by an ancient glass case. Evil King recognized it at a glance: the bronze statue Geshet.

Thirty million years ago, a visiting civilization that had drifted to Earth discovered that the people of an ancient civilization were under immense pressure and filled with negative emotions. Various conflicts were on the verge of erupting. In order to alleviate the people's pressure, they used special technology and metal to create the bronze statue Geshet, which could absorb negative emotions.

However, this good intention became the fuse for the civil war in the ancient civilization. No matter how much Geshet absorbed the negative emotions, it was ultimately just a temporary solution. The conflict itself always existed, and the negative emotions continued to increase, eventually leading to a disaster.

Dr. Otomo deciphered the etched inscription that was also discovered, “Geschüt is a gift from a friend in the universe. It can bring peace to our emotions and protect us from… the influence of… Is the middle damaged? Let me see if I can repair it.”

Of course it was undamaged. Evil King knew this very well, because it involved too many ancient secrets. The cognitive barrier that those guys set up back then was to prevent the world from falling into chaos too early. Although his main body was still sealed, Evil King, as an avatar, still remembered it clearly.

However, he couldn't let these humans interpret things that way any longer. Evil King thought for a moment, then slightly raised his hand, and the glass holding the bronze statue Geshet suddenly shattered. Higashima Kaito, who was ostensibly helping but actually monitoring, also noticed his presence. "Who is it!?"

Evil King immediately slithered down below, and Kaito followed. Zaki quickly grabbed Dr. Otomo, saying, "Dr., you stay here and continue your research. I'll go see what's going on!"

Dr. Otomo hadn't even realized what was happening yet. He nodded blankly, watching Zaki, who had possessed Yamaoka, disappear down the corridor. Turning his head, he exclaimed, "Wait a minute, where's my bronze statue?!"

Compared to Kaito, Evil King was definitely faster. Kaito wasn't stupid either; he immediately took out his communicator and reported the intrusion. Mizoroki's side also took immediate action.

The sudden alarm startled Klaus, who was infiltrating. Wait, what's going on? How did I get exposed? Wasn't I well hidden? No, I need to speed things up!

Klaus began searching around, and then, just like the unlucky Desis alien that day, he bumped into Zagi, who happened to be looking for the Evil King. Naturally, his hiding did not escape Zagi's eyes.

However, because Zagi concealed his presence so well, Klaus simply assumed that Zagi was one of the more mentally powerful humans who could see him, and then attacked him directly, intending to kill him to silence him.

A bolt of crimson lightning shot from Zaki's hand, striking Klaus and sending him flying. The powerful force severely injured Klaus, who clutched his chest in astonishment as he stared at Zaki, seemingly realizing something. "It was you! You were the one secretly manipulating those monsters!?"

These words stunned Zagi, but it seemed he wasn't wrong, because he was indeed secretly manipulating some monsters. However, it was this moment of distraction that gave Klaus the opportunity to escape, since Zagi couldn't use too much power to hide himself.

"Really? The enemy has invaded the Science Research Department, and that bronze statue has been stolen?" Grandpa Fengyuan glanced at Director Sawai and Director Yoshioka behind him. "Director Sawai, I'll handle things here. You can go."

"Okay, please be careful too." Leo hung up the call. With Grandpa Fengyuan watching over him, he felt much more at ease. However, since the enemy dared to come, they must have some special methods. "Galatron, how is it?"

Galatrom was still logged into the TPC system and could be seen by all the surveillance cameras. However, Galatrom was somewhat surprised that Zagi was different from ordinary enemies. He was able to hack into the system and tamper with the surveillance footage before Galatrom could save it.

It seems that Fried Chicken is not only powerful, but also possesses considerable intelligence. Or is it a weapon created by humans, like Galactus, that has developed its own consciousness?

"It's now confirmed that Yamaoka is Zaki. That poor Klaus was just beaten half to death by him and mistook him for you."

"The Evil King is fleeing in all directions and is almost at the armory. The bronze statue disappeared on its own; it seems to be some kind of intelligent system."

"The base is really lively today," Leo muttered to himself before stepping into the darkness.

In TPC's underground armory, Evil King secretly infiltrated and immediately heard a deep, sinister voice say, "Indeed, I still need to collect some more powerful monsters to strengthen my own power."

The Evil King immediately perked up. Gathering the power of monsters? He knew he had come to the right place!

Concealing his aura, Evil King hid in the shadows, observing Hebikura, or rather, Jugglus Juggler, who was deep in thought. Yes, this pure dark power, this powerful aura of resentment, although weaker than when they first met, was mostly to conceal his identity.

Unaware that he was being spied on, Jugglus Juggler was currently in a dilemma. He hadn't collected enough monster power yet, making it difficult to participate in the current battle. The strongest monster he had was Lava Golza, which he obtained after absorbing darkness in Chiba Sea. The power of Ultimate Darkness did not respond to him or the Dark Ring.

You can't just use Melba and a regular Golza, can you? I summoned Melba before, and Magabasar just took it down like it was nothing.

Sure enough, let's try the Five Emperors. I'll take a day off today... Well, I can't take a day off. Damn it, damn it, damn it. Can't Kai and the others cherish their fighter jets a little? Although yesterday's crash didn't need repair, the previous ones haven't been repaired yet. They broke another record this month!

Sensing the growing resentment and negative emotions emanating from Jugglus Juggler, Evil King became even more certain of his guess: such resentment could indeed allow him to use the power of monsters!

The man in front of me, who looks extremely sinister, is Reiblood's descendant!

Chapter 224 Powerful Resentment

Frustration and annoyance are understandable. Even if you can understand that the combat intensity of ESCG is too high and crashes are inevitable, it's still frustrating to have so many fighter jets that need repair.

Work, work, work! The King Joe Bridge needs repairing, Asgard needs building, and there are over a dozen fighter jets waiting for them. Ugh, so frustrating!

If it weren't for Leo, none of the ESCG members would have made it out alive today!

"Ugh, this is so annoying... How could this happen? Asgaron isn't even finished yet, and King Joe is already in a terrible state."

"You should be grateful. At least two of them were blown up, so we don't have to fix them. Do you know how terrifying the logistics supervisors look at the expense reports?"

"But won't we still have to repair the newly manufactured fighter jets later?"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. Yes, whether it crashed or exploded, even a newly built fighter jet couldn't withstand the way those people from ESCG crashed it. In the end, wouldn't they be the ones to continue repairing it?

The thought of this caused the pressure on everyone in the armory to rise rapidly, as did their resentment. Even Sukuna Oni would be scared away if he came to see it.

Even the Evil King was startled by them. No, he thought everyone in TPC was the kind of person who radiates righteousness. How come there is so much negative energy here?

Meanwhile, Tae-shin, who had been working non-stop for several days, was wiping away sweat with a tired expression. Not only him, but everyone else was also under pressure at this moment.

Although Asgaron was created using the Naga's left-behind Naga and Salome metal, which saved a lot of work, there was still a lot left to do.

There's no room for carelessness in this kind of work, but it also needs to be done as quickly as possible. Everyone is exhausted but has no choice but to pull themselves together and keep working.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone's physical fitness is relatively good, and the physical fitness of all mankind is still rising rapidly, then how many people in the Armory would be living in stone coffins?

Immense pressure generates enormous negative energy, and it is precisely the function of Geschütter that it was created to absorb all of this. It automatically seeks out people under immense pressure and absorbs their stress and negative emotions.

Suddenly, Tae-shin saw something strange in front of him: a bronze statue still covered in dirt. The statue's eyes flickered, and then Tae-shin suddenly felt a sense of relief.

All the pressure, frustration, and exhaustion vanished without a trace. Tyshin had never felt so good. He was full of energy and felt that he could finish building Asgaron today and even repair King Joe!

"What's wrong, Taixin?" Grandpa Ye Hu looked over curiously, and then he was also struck by the bronze statue of Geshute, and suddenly felt that he had become twenty or thirty years younger.

Then came the second, the third... and more and more. By the time Galatron reported to Leo, most of the armory's inhabitants had been infected.

"Leo, something terrible has happened! That bronze statue has absorbed everyone's stress and negative emotions in the armory and has grown a lot bigger!"

"What did you say?" Leo, who had just finished reading Dr. Otomo's interpretation of the inscription, was stunned. He even doubted whether he had misheard.

"Isn't it said that this Geschüt thing can absorb the negative emotions and stress of at least tens of thousands of people? How long have the armory workers been accumulating stress?!"

"This... is probably because the workers at the armory have accumulated too much negative emotion and pressure, and they have also long since ignited their potential, so the power of these emotions is very strong."

Galatron never expected things to turn out this way. The Evil King had clearly released Geshute on purpose, but who could have imagined that the pressure from the Armory's members had already exceeded Geshute's absorption limit?

On the other side, Jugglus Juggler suddenly sensed something was wrong outside and quickly ran out of the toilet. He then saw Geshute, a bronze statue whose face had changed from gentle to ferocious and whose size had increased from the size of an arm to over ten meters.

"What is this thing?" Jugglus picked up the Serpent Heart Sword and was about to slash at it, but unexpectedly, Geshute also dodged towards him, and he was also hit. The powerful resentment and pressure were absorbed in this way.

This was like the last mountain that broke the camel's back. Gaesher, who was already under tremendous pressure, suddenly broke through his limit and disappeared from the armory in an instant.

"Mr. Ye Hu, how are you? Are you alright?"

"Ah... you're the new Kaito Kan. We're fine, in fact, we feel quite relaxed."

When Kaito arrived, he only saw Geisha disappear. The people in the armory were unharmed. On the contrary, Geisha absorbed their stress and emotions and even cured their fatigue.

But things were definitely not that simple. Before Kaito could ask any more questions, he heard another message: "Warning! Warning! A huge energy reaction has occurred outside the base!"

Kaito didn't care about anything else and ran away again. Meanwhile, Klaus, who had just been beaten up by Zagi, continued to search for his assassination target in the base. As long as he could get rid of Director Sawai, the plan to destroy the monster and destroy humanity would be further successful!

At the same time, Klaus also reported to the Root of Destruction that Yamaoka was the one secretly controlling the monsters, and there will definitely be a series of actions against them in the future.

As he walked, Klaus suddenly sensed something was wrong. Why couldn't he hear any sound? Why couldn't he see anyone? Everything around him was eerily silent.

A series of unhurried footsteps echoed from the darkness deep in the corridor. Klaus watched warily as applause suddenly broke the silence.

"Not bad, using a series of actions and metallic lifeforms to lure the Ultramen away, and then taking the opportunity to infiltrate TPC to cause damage, that's a really good idea."

Leo, dressed in his team uniform, slowly emerged from the darkness, exuding an aura of oppression while his tone carried a hint of mockery, "I'm really curious, how will the Destruction Bringer deal with Zagi after this?"

"You are...it's you!?" Klaus realized he had made a mistake, but he could no longer contact the Destruction Bringer, because the entire space here was an illusion created by Zetton's Meta Domain and Demaga's Time-Space Dimension.

"It's me. It's a pity you won't have the chance to tell your master this news." The black and red intertwined energy turned Leo back into his awakened form. "That was close, really. You almost succeeded."

If Galatrom hadn't noticed the problem in time and made preparations, the losses Klaus caused to TPC would have been unpredictable. Leo clapped his hands, and the surrounding space instantly transformed back into the Meta Realm created by Zetton.

Unlike Nexus, which resembles destruction a thousand years in the future, Zetton's Meta Realm is now more like a fiery hell, with scorching flames and rolling lava. Just arriving here puts Klaus under immense pressure.

Meanwhile, Zetton and Dimaga were already there, eagerly waiting for him. Leo had only one request: to get enough valuable information out of him.

After locking Klaus up, Leo sensed that Evil King had also escaped. He wondered what that guy was doing there. Was he perhaps there to test his and Daigo's identities?

Yamaoka Hajime is indeed Zaki, he was able to hack into the TPC system and tamper with the data... Oh right, he is a bio-weapon created by the Visitors, the existence of cognitive barriers always makes people subconsciously ignore the relationship.

"How is Geshert doing?" Leo asked Galatron, who thought for a moment and said, "Um... I'm not sure, but I feel a bit sorry for Max."

After absorbing the immense pressure accumulated by everyone in the Armory, Geshutter reached a critical point and instantly teleported to the coast not far from the TPC base. Due to the enormous energy, he transformed into a giant monster hundreds of meters tall.

After Kaito transformed and landed, he looked at Geshut, who was half a head taller than him, and felt no emotion at all. He was really used to it. Even if an evil Bogaru appeared tomorrow, or an Emperor appeared the day after, he wouldn't be surprised.

In comparison, Geshutter doesn't seem to be a very powerful monster. At most, it might just be a bit thick-skinned. After I transform to 100 meters tall, taking it down would be a piece of cake.

Max thought so, at least until he was punched and sent flying far away.

"This can't be right!" Max, who had just gotten up from the ground, looked at Geshutter in disbelief. "How can this thing be so strong?"

Both being over 100 meters in size, Max couldn't believe that his strength had been completely overwhelmed by his opponent. Geschott teleported in front of Max and unleashed a series of slaps on him.

Max dodged with difficulty, pulling out his head-mounted dart and throwing it at Geschott, but it only produced some insignificant sparks on the other's body. Geschott's eyes were fierce, his face contorted with rage, and he charged at Max, pinning him down and giving him a good beating.

Leo was stunned. He knew Max's strength, so how could he not even beat Geisha?

(Hmm... Leo, something's not right. Among the negative emotions absorbed by this bronze monster, there's one person with a particularly strong dissatisfaction towards Ultraman.)

Ampera saw the crux of the problem: "This very special negative energy often makes monsters very powerful or endows them with certain special powers."

"So this Geshute probably developed a special attack effect on Ultraman because of the resentment and pressure from the people in the Armory."

In other words, Geshutter's strength lies solely in its ability to target Ultraman, making Max's attacks ineffective against it; however, every time it strikes Max, it inflicts significant pain.

"No, why would everyone in the Armory have such a thing about Ultraman... um..."

Leo suddenly couldn't speak. He thought of his teammates and suddenly seemed to understand why Geshute, who had absorbed the resentment of everyone in the Armory, had such a deep resentment towards Ultraman.

However, this also means that someone in the armory has realized that Ultraman exists in ESCG, and knows that the plane crash is inextricably linked to them being Ultraman.

Who was it, Ye Hu or She Cang? Leo felt it was necessary to pay attention to this issue. However, Max was really unlucky. The plane crash had nothing to do with him, but he was the one who got beaten up.

"Let's lend a hand." Leo sighed. He had just figured this out when Max was already under fire. The resentment of those guys in the Armory was really strong.

But just as Leo pulled out the Ultimate Fighting Device, he suddenly sensed something. The ground beneath where Max and Geisha were fighting suddenly trembled, and ten metal spikes shot out from the ground, surrounding Geisha and Max.

Then, these metal pillars continued to integrate and transform, becoming the appearances of Ultraman other than Max, and even Mephisto and Chaos Ultraman.

As for why Max wasn't there? Because he'd only been there a few days; he was just unlucky.

However, as soon as the metal lifeforms appeared and transformed into Ultraman, Geishut, who was beating Max senseless, turned his attention to them. Very well, you are Ultraman too, right?

Upon seeing Geshutter and Max, both over a hundred meters tall, the metallic lifeforms who were preparing to raid the base fell into deep thought. Had they come to the wrong place? But no, the TPC base was right there.

Could it be that something went wrong in their process, and the data they obtained was inaccurate, resulting in the size not being the correct one? Why are those two on the other side so much bigger?

(Why aren't you deactivating your transformation yet?)

Leo's voice was transmitted directly to Max's ears through telekinesis. Although he didn't know what was going on, he knew very well that Geshute was a tough opponent, so he had no choice but to temporarily deactivate his transformation.
