As Max disappeared before his eyes, Geshutter decisively shifted his gaze to the metallic life form that had just transformed into Ultraman Tiga, Gaia, Nexus, and others. It had absorbed Jugglus Juggler's resentment and pressure, and was particularly displeased with Ultraman!
After regaining many memories, even if Jugglus Juggler didn't know whether Captain Gentoo and the others were Ultraman, he was certain that Gai was.
Knowing Gai's identity and considering their frequent plane crashes yet all of them survived, it's somewhat plausible that there are other Ultramen besides Gai in ESCG.
The thought of these people crashing while trying to transform filled Jugglus Juggler with such hatred that the pressure and resentment were so strong that after Geishit absorbed it, it actually generated a special attack against Ultraman.
Now, Max has escaped, but the metallic lifeform can't. Geshetmo clenched his fists and charged towards the metallic lifeform.
The horrific scene made Leo cover his face in dismay. He thought he should give the armory more time off and raise their wages; he felt so sorry for them.
If this continues, we might not even need Geshute anymore. Their own resentment could create a monster of negative energy. From now on, we'd rather have the captain and the others do it on their own two legs.
Chapter 225 Is Something Wrong with Our Team?
As it turns out, the Destruction Summoning Entity is really insidious. If all of ESCG's equipment hadn't been under repair today, Leo wouldn't have had a reason to attack and would have stayed at headquarters. Plus, Evil King is here too, making the base incredibly lively. Klaus's assassination plan might actually have succeeded.
However, Klaus was in dire straits himself at that moment, and upon seeing Zetton and Demaga, he decisively transformed.
After being recruited by the Destruction Bringer several years ago, Klaus merged with the spiritual life form Satan Bizo, becoming the spiritual life form Bizom.
Satan Bizo was already very strong, so Bizom was naturally even stronger. Klaus felt that he could go toe-to-toe with Gaia or even be better.
This is also the source of Klaus's firm belief that the Destruction Bringer can destroy humanity and rule the Earth. After all, the power bestowed upon him by the other party is already at this level, so one can imagine how powerful the Destruction Bringer's true form is.
However, no matter how strong the power of the Destruction Summoning Body was, it couldn't save Bizom's life at this moment. Zetton's combo of teleportation and a series of punches followed by a fireball almost killed Bizom, and Dimaga even whipped him with his tail so hard that he couldn't even crawl up.
"Confess now!" Dimaga pressed his knife against Bizom's forehead. "What exactly is this guy called the Destruction Summoner? What are his tricks? Where is he hiding?"
"You want to force me to betray that lord? No way!" Bizom struggled to his feet. "Even if I die today, I won't tell you anything!"
Dimaga's tail, crackling with electricity, lashed out at Bizom, causing him to howl in pain. Dimaga scoffed disdainfully, "A traitor who would betray even his own race and civilization acts as if he's so heroic."
If it were someone like Ako, whose entire clan was evil, that would be one thing. But the courage and unwavering belief that humans possess are things that Zetton and Demaga greatly admire. Klaus, who chose to betray humanity, was nothing more than a coward who was subdued by a more powerful force.
"Just kill him." Miss Jetton didn't have much time to waste here. "His strength is too weak. He's just being used as a pawn. Such a pawn has no value and is unlikely to know much information."
"Who says I don't know? You have no idea how much our great master favors me. I...you're bluffing me!?"
Bizom then realized that he had said something he shouldn't have in his haste, "You think you can be enemies with that person? Wishful thinking!"
“Trying to trick you? No, I have no need to do that.” Miss Jetton shook her head. She genuinely believed that Bizom didn’t know anything important, so she planned to just kill him.
Leo also said that it's basically impossible for someone like Klaus, who can betray even his own race, to be given important responsibilities, unless the Destruction Summoner is mentally challenged.
Just in case, Miss Zetton didn't hold back and knocked him to the ground with two punches. Then she stuck the Ultimate Fighting Device directly to Bizom's head. Resist? Oh, you can't resist!
The original plan was to use the Ultimate Fighting Device to directly control Klaus in his transformed state, Bizom, and force him to reveal everything he knew. However, Zetton soon realized that he had oversimplified the situation.
As the control of the Ultimate Fighting Device deepened, another power suddenly erupted within Bizom's body, shocking even himself. However, what followed was the complete loss of control of this energy. Bizom exploded instantly, and the powerful energy fluctuations even blew Dimaga back several steps.
Fortunately, the battle took place inside the Meta Realm. If it had been detonated outside, the power would have definitely blown up the TPC headquarters. Unfortunately, they were still unable to control the other party and extract the information they wanted.
"As expected, both the Destruction Bringer and Chaosfia have countermeasures." Zetton waved his hand, realizing that it would be difficult to control the opponent with the Ultimate Fighting Device in the future; the Dark Spark would probably be more effective.
When Leo learned that Jetton and his team's plan had failed, he wasn't too disappointed. After all, he hadn't expected it to fail. If they didn't catch Bizom, so be it. There were more interesting things to do right now.
Leo even dragged Zetton and Dimaga over, and together with Emperor, they found a place nearby to sit and watch the metallic lifeforms disguised as Ultraman get grabbed and beaten up by Geshute.
Because of the size difference—over 100 meters versus over 50 meters—Geshet beat up the Ultramen disguised as metal lifeforms like he was beating up children, grabbing them and slapping them several times.
Because the metallic lifeforms were based entirely on the data of Ultraman, their moves and skills were exactly the same as those of Tiga and the others, meaning they could not switch forms. Therefore, Geishut still had special attacks against them, and even when their attacks were combined, they could only force Geishut to retreat.
In less than a minute, several metallic lifeforms disguised as Ultraman were all defeated by Geshute. Leo, with the idea of reaping the benefits, took out the Ultimate Fighting Device and the Dark Spark.
"It's still necessary to take down these metallic lifeforms and this Geshute."
Coincidentally, Sphia had the same idea. Just as Leo took out the Ultimate Fighting Device, Sphia's wormhole opened in the sky and rushed directly toward the metal lifeform.
Then they saw the undead Super Grand King summoned by Leo, and without looking back, they disappeared back into the black hole. There was nothing they could do; the tradition of Sphia was to be rogue and unreasonable, but compared to Leo now, they could even be considered innocent.
"Why are you running?" Leo thought to himself that he wasn't that scary. King Grand directly fired a dark wave at Sphia, and those who couldn't escape were all turned into spark puppets.
Perhaps because Grand King wasn't Ultraman, or perhaps because he could intuitively sense that he couldn't defeat it, Geishut didn't attack it.
However, before Leo could collect all the metallic lifeforms and Geshute, six beams of light flew in from the sky. It was Tiga and his group who had just dealt with the other metallic lifeforms on the other side and then heard that something had happened at headquarters, so they rushed to provide support.
When the Ultramen saw the scene, they found that the fake Ultramen were half dead. Leo's Grand King was ready to go, and Geshute, who was over 100 meters tall, stood proudly. He was obviously a metal life form, and his eyes were so fierce as he looked at them. He must be in cahoots with the Destruction Bringer!
"Ah, no..." Leo's shout was far slower than Daigo and the others' actions. When Geshute saw that there were even Ultramen, he was even more furious. He slapped Orb down from the sky and instantly teleported to grab Gaia and Agul's legs, throwing them to the ground.
Nexus and Tiga were also unable to dodge, as Geshut's continuous eye-damaging beams struck them down, and Blaze's Shining Stone Sword was caught by his bare hands and flung away.
Before Leo could even react, all six Ultramen in the sky had already fallen down. It's hard to imagine that these Ultramen, who were fighting fiercely against Maga Orochi yesterday, were beaten like this by Geshute today.
"As expected, the strength of these Ultramen's beliefs determines how much power they can have. This isn't a life-or-death crisis, so they're not going all out."
Her Majesty Emperor was indeed knowledgeable and casually peeked out and snatched the potato chips from Leo's mouth. Just as she said, for Daigo and the others, Geshute did not have the terrifying power and oppressive feeling of Maga Orochi. Daigo and the others could not fight every enemy with their lives on the line.
However, considering that it would be difficult to explain if Daigo and the others were injured for no reason, Leo didn't delay for too long. "King Grand, take care of it."
"Alright." King Grand immediately used the Grand Laser to knock Geshutter to the ground, and then released a dark wave. Geshutter had no self-awareness and was completely driven by negative energy, so he naturally had no way to resist the power of the dark spark.
With Geschout's Spark Doll, we can go back and do some research to see if we can learn Geschout's techniques for absorbing negative emotions and make them available to everyone in the Armory later.
Moreover, Geshutter's ability to attack Ultraman seems like it might come in handy in the future. As for the metallic lifeforms, Leo subdued them one by one and put them into the Fighting Device, so they no longer had the ability to self-destruct.
Metal lifeforms are quite rare to Leo, and given enough data, they can even simulate various enemies, giving Leo no chance to increase his team's combat power.
"Should I thank Brother Destruction for the gift he sent?" Leo stroked his chin, suddenly realizing that apart from Zetton, it seemed that most of his wealth came from robbing others.
Considering that Renina also picked up things wherever she went, Leo suddenly wondered if this was a genetic trait of the Reibrang people.
However, in any case, today's matter is more or less over for now. It's just that Daigo and the others flew back because they got beaten up, which really made Leo lose his composure. So when he returned to the command room and saw them all enduring the pain while pretending to be fine, Leo just shook his head inwardly.
Without a shred of sympathy, one can only say that look at how much pressure these people have been put under by the armory craftsmen. However, because Geshet has absorbed the pressure for everyone, the armory staff are currently at their peak, working incredibly fast. If this continues, they will soon be able to repair King Joe and even build Asgard.
"Why do you all look so strange?" Leo asked, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at Captain Stringman and his group, who were pondering, "Are we really that bad?"
"It's nothing, it's just that so much happened this morning and we weren't able to help much."
Daigo and the others all nodded in agreement, but couldn't help looking at each other. Something was wrong. How come everyone was injured, and the injuries didn't look like they were from a fall? Could it be...? But that possibility was too low.
I dreamt that Fujimiya and I seemed to have made a connection. We looked at each other, but then we suddenly received a message and quickly started operating. "An unknown energy reaction appeared in the sky above the headquarters... It turned into a special symbol. I projected it onto the big screen."
Everyone looked at the big screen at the same time. The familiar golden characters seemed to be some kind of writing, but since there were no people from the Land of Light present, apart from Leo and Emperor, no one recognized what it was. But they still knew what it was.
"Ott's signature?"
Kaito recognized the character as an Ultra Signature sent from the Land of Light, and his face darkened after reading it.
What do you mean by "Evil Bogaru has broken the seal and is suspected of being near Earth"? What do you mean by "The Aliens Empera are already gathering their army and will attack in no more than two days"? Wait a minute, Captain Zoffy, I haven't even been on Earth for a week!
"Strange, if this is an Ultra Sign, what is it trying to express?"
Everyone was completely baffled, but Leo, who knew the contents, simply put down his cup.
"I don't know, but since it just happened to appear above headquarters... could it be that our headquarters has an Ultraman from the Land of Light? I remember that Ultraman Max is from the Land of Light."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone subconsciously looked at the people around them. Although the household registration was not quite right, the race was correct. Everyone suddenly felt uneasy. Captain Gentoo, relying on his mental fortitude, waved his hand and said, "How could that be? We are all native Earthlings. How could we be Ultraman?"
"I didn't say it had to be someone from our team. There are plenty of people at headquarters, Captain, you don't need to be so sensitive."
Leo waved his hand, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They hadn't even realized when cold sweat had started pouring down their backs. Was the vice-captain testing them on purpose? Their reactions... Hmm, was Vice-Captain Leo the only human in their team?
Just as everyone was thinking the same thing, the door to the command room opened, and Deputy Staff Officer Gondo rushed in in a panic, "Deputy Captain Leo! Outside, did you see that outside?!"
“I saw it, I saw it. It’s just an Ultraman signature. It’s probably Ultraman Max who has infiltrated our headquarters.” Leo helped Gondo up. “You’re the deputy chief of staff, don’t make such a fuss. We have plenty of Ultramen on Earth.”
"What, Ultraman Max? I'll go look it up right now!"
"What are you investigating? They're not here to cause trouble. They were just helping out." Leo was pressed down by Quan Teng again. This guy is really something. He can do anything when he's in a hurry. He acts impulsively but doesn't think too much.
So what? Even if they find out Kaito Toma's identity, what can they do? They can't just arrest him and send him for autopsy, can they? Forget about Leo and Director Sawai, even Chief Yoshioka would be the first to blame Gondo for something like that.
However, no one can deny that Gondo is truly dedicated to the good of humanity and Earth. Leo could sense that the light emanating from him was extremely intense. If he were to become Ultraman, he would probably fight the enemy with even greater effort than anyone else.
Chapter 226 So everyone's an Ultraman!
Nothing happened on Earth today. In the morning, the Destruction Bringer tried to do something big but failed. In the afternoon, TPC held a meeting to discuss post-disaster reconstruction and other issues, and also mentioned the invasion of the Natan aliens.
That's right, TPC already knows about the Tantian invasion, because they arrogantly sent an invasion notification to Earth. After reading it, everyone couldn't help but glance at the representatives from South Asia and East Asia. This is so fitting.
The arrogance of the Natanians' invasion announcement goes beyond words. After learning from Galatron's deceptive website that only tens of millions of humans remained after years of monster ravages, suffering from hunger and cold, and barely surviving, they thought they were invincible.
They claimed that the power of the Natan aliens was absolutely unmatched by Earthlings, and advised Earthlings to give up futile resistance and surrender directly. They said the Natan aliens were descendants of Emperor Natan the Great. Anyway... the South Asian representative regretted not asking for leave to attend the meeting.
Although we've had to let go of a lot in order to survive over the years, and have settled all the past issues, we're not laughing out loud, but it's impossible to forget everything that happened in the past.
However, everyone felt that the invasion of the Natanians was an opportunity, at least to demonstrate Earth's strength to the outside world, so that in the future all sorts of worthless people would like to come to Earth. Sending out the Prometheus and Atdis, along with two defense teams, would be enough.
This matter isn't even worth discussing as a formal proposal, for no other reason than that the Tantians are simply too weak, unable to even defeat Melba.
Since TPC was first armed eight years ago, this is probably the first time Melba has achieved a direct victory over an enemy. However, the most moved people are actually the Kirieloids, because finally an alien has lost face even more miserably than they have.
The Natanians, and the Natan Emperor? What kind of level do they have to come to Earth and act so arrogantly? The Kirieloids have to obediently abide by the rules of this territory!
However, the Kirieloids' smiles soon faded, because someone online tallied their battle records and found that Melba had at least defeated the Natanians. Since arriving on Earth, the Kirieloids had mainly been getting beaten up. Everyone could see that the Maga Balrog was not one of them, and it hadn't appeared for quite some time.
This infuriated the Kirieloid people, who have been chasing Melba around since noon. Magabasa even called earlier to complain that the Kirieloids were stealing her job.
The worst part is that these unlucky guys not only chased after Melba, but halfway through the fight they mistook it for a monster and burned one of Magabassa's feathers. Enraged, Magabassa pulled out the Spark Doll given to him by Leo and transformed into EX Pedanium Zetton to chase after them and beat them up.
He was thinking that it was okay to get beaten up, losing to EX Pedanim Jetton wasn't shameful, but then he saw netizens saying that he only knew how to bully Melba and couldn't even beat Golza.
What's most heartbreaking is that these comments weren't even sarcastic; they were genuine expressions of emotion, truly conveying a sense of pity for their misfortune and anger at their lack of resistance. The Kirielod people were trembling with anger. When had their great Kirielod people ever suffered such humiliation?
However, considering that we still have to live on Earth, what can we do even if we're unhappy? We can't beat them anyway.
Sigh, it's really difficult to cultivate faith on Earth, especially after the Salvation Church and similar organizations were severely cracked down on and exposed as having been instructed by enemies to secretly engage in divisive and sabotage activities. Humanity is increasingly distrustful of these messy, informal organizations.
"So that's their reason for applying for permanent positions?" Looking at the strange expression on Joseph's face, the head of the Americas branch, Leo glanced at the report in his hand again, even wondering if he was seeing things. "Are they crazy?"
Who would have thought that these Kirieloids would decide to form a cooperative relationship with the TPC, becoming an unofficial fighting force to assist the American branch in fighting against possible monsters.
"They even said they didn't need to pay us a salary, as compensation for what happened in S City before."
Everyone's expressions turned strange. They thought to themselves, "Isn't this just a case of a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken with no good intentions? The Kirieloids aren't exactly good people, and with their fighting strength, what hope do they have?"
So everyone was not very optimistic about this. Leo stroked his chin. Actually, he thought the same thing. It was mainly because the Kirieloids were too unreliable, but it didn't seem necessary to refuse directly.
"Let's keep them hanging for now. We'll say we need to assess their abilities and skills. If they can only beat Melba, what use are they? They're not as reliable as Unit 1."
"So what do you mean?" Everyone was curious about what strange idea Leo had this time.
"They want to be free labor, right? That's perfect. In the future, let them go first when there are any strong monsters. It can also test the strength of the opponent. If they can survive, that's their skill."
After Leo finished speaking, everyone looked at him differently. Sometimes they felt that Leo was a good person, perfect in every way, except that his methods of doing things were not very upright, but very effective.
"What do you think of this plan?"
“I think there’s nothing wrong with it. They just want our official permission to openly recruit believers. This must be very important to them. We can’t let them have their way.”
After discussing it, the American branch was overjoyed. They were thrilled to have Kirieloids working for them for free. They had previously envied the Australian branch for having Gazort, which meant they didn't have to worry about most of the monsters.
"In addition, we also received news from Redell's side that the Standellians have decided to formally establish diplomatic relations with Earth and have brought some supplies. Furthermore, the planet Adran has also asked if we can sell some of our unwanted Flying Swallow I and II to them."
After returning to her home planet Adran, Saki discovered that her hometown was indeed... ridiculously weak in military strength, relying entirely on Machi's family to support it. Their fighter jets were not even as good as the Flying Swallow 1, and they had a hard time even taking down a Gadi. Their technological level was even lower than that of Earth.
Many of the high-ranking officials were promoted by the Naga. Although they dared not do anything to Shaji, who was protected by Machina, they still hoped that one day their Naga masters would be able to fight back. Therefore, they outwardly complied with many of Shaji's plans but inwardly opposed them.
How could Adran become great again while surrounded by such a bunch of insects? Sagi displayed a decisive and efficient approach that was completely inconsistent with his appearance, and carried out a major overhaul of the entire planet Adran.
"Yes, I think we can put the alliance on the agenda. We'll find an opportunity to announce it to the outside world. With the previous contact with Charlie, this matter is less likely to cause panic."
The main reason is that factors that could cause panic have been eliminated, especially the supercomputer Crisis. Unfortunately, most of the facilities and equipment of the European branch have been contaminated by the virus today, and it will take at least two or three days to restore them. During this period, the Sky Base needs to be sent there to help guard it.
The Supreme Meeting can no longer be called the Supreme Meeting; from now on, it should just be called the Daily Meeting. Who organizes a Supreme Meeting that is held every day?
After the meeting, Leo's work for the day was almost over. What a peaceful day! However, during the day, he had thrown Ultraman's autographs onto the head of TPC headquarters, so it seems there's quite a commotion in the Dark Universe.
Leo got into Galatron's car and was about to take out his communicator to check on the situation in the Dark Universe when he suddenly realized that something seemed off about the car; it looked brand new. "You bought a new car?"
"Yes, I've acquired a few more companies and am preparing to create an industrial chain to accelerate human science and technology. This car... is a personal birthday gift to you."
Although they had already eaten the birthday cake, it's undeniable that today is actually Leo's birthday, meaning he's officially turning ten. Galatron doesn't know what to give him, but online it's said that boys like cars, and Leo himself seems to like them too, so Galatron is thinking that this might be a good idea.
Leo glanced at the little golden figure on the hood of the car and pondered its possible price. "I have a feeling I'll be reported for bribery soon."
"Then I'll pick you up by bicycle next time?" Galatron smiled, gently kissed Leo's forehead, and drove away.
Leo took out the combat device, released Dimaga and Zetton to sit in the back seat, and took out his communicator to see what was happening in the Dark Universe. He hadn't paid attention to that side for a long time.
Upon opening the messages, besides a bunch of order notifications, there was Balki's message, about what Ako had mentioned before, about his plan to assassinate Emperor. In addition, there was... well, Dark Universe had ordered three hundred red King Joe units.
Good grief, you bought my stuff, modified it, and then came to beat me up, huh? Leo almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then there was Charlie, who also told Leo about the Dark Universe and told him that if things got really bad, he should just take Earth with him. After all, Leo was a big customer, and Charlie valued him a lot.
[Mr. Cha, AAA Monster Wholesaler]: You're finally online! The Aliens of Empera are planning to invade your Earth. Be careful!
