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

Page 148

Actually, Jugglus felt quite strange. He always felt that the Dark Ring was ignoring him, as if it had only chosen him because it couldn't find a suitable user for the time being.

But upon closer reflection, this is quite normal. The Dark Ring itself has the characteristic of automatically seeking out the most evil person in the universe. Jugglus Juggler is not the most evil person at present, but for the time being, he has no choice but to rely on the power of the Dark Ring.

Without the Dark Ring, Jugglus Juggler's power alone wouldn't be enough to participate in the current battle; with the Dark Ring, things would be like they are now...

"Lava Golza... It's pretty good for combat power." Jugglus Juggler looked at the card in his hand, pondering what materials he was still lacking as one of the Five Emperors. He had already obtained the EyeQ card from Mount Sukuna, but Reijubas had not yet appeared on Earth.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that the Five Emperors don't really need Rechubas as their right-hand pincers. The Five Emperors that appeared in Australia had Astromuses in their left hand and Gadi whip in their right. The right hand of the Five Emperors in Jugglus Juggler's memory... wasn't very useful either.

You could even say that, aside from Melba, the most useless part of the entire Five Emperors is Rechubas; you can just find any replacement, since its main role is to provide control anyway.

Thinking this, Jugglus Juggler took out the other cards he had collected during this time, including Lava Golza and Specia Melba, who had died by crashing into a monster on Monster Island. After thinking about it, he replaced it with Zoga, as he was still a bit traumatized from the last time.

Then there's EyeQ, Super Gob, and Gadi to replace Reichubas. Putting everything else aside, just having Lava Golza there is enough to raise the level of the Five Emperors to another level.

Moreover, compared to the Five Emperors, Jugglus now has a better option, and he took out two more cards.

"Can Evolved Lagras and Evolved Grangon be further fused together?"

Normally, after monsters are destroyed, they are either turned into Spark Dolls or collected by the Ultimate Fighting Device, but some residual power will still remain at the place of death. This is mainly because the Dark Spark and the Ultimate Fighting Device have very high energy requirements, and they will only accept the best and not the inferior ones.

That's why when Maga Orochi broke the seal, evolved Lagras, evolved Grangon, and Lava Golza were resurrected by the dark forces and then beat the trio who had just arrived on Earth half to death.

However, now, even these last remaining dark forces have been absorbed by Jugglus Juggler and turned into cards, so these three are basically beyond resurrection.

Thinking about when he could have a chance to fight, Jugglus took out the Dark Ring and pointed it precisely in the direction where ESCG and the others were. The Dark Ring immediately began to flash.

Actually, it had tried to blink several times when Hebi Warehouse and Leo approached it at the base, but it didn't dare. It couldn't beat Dark Spark and Ultimate Fighting Device, and it couldn't even beat Dark Cloth.

At the factory, Leo keenly sensed that something was calling to him, but it seemed to be very far away. Both the Dark Spark and the Ultimate Fighting Device indicated that it was just an illusion and that he shouldn't pay too much attention to it.

Leo also focused his attention on the matter at hand. The smaller Pedrons in the other areas had all been eliminated by the ESCG team. Since everyone already knew each other's identities, these guys didn't even bother using their Hyper guns. They stopped pretending and stopped trying to respect the surveillance cameras!

Fortunately, Galatrom kept modifying the surveillance footage, and the situation wasn't exposed. Everyone quickly gathered together. "Vice Captain, we've finished dealing with things over there."

"Me too." Captain Gento also came over, and at the same time, news came from Gamu and Fujimiya: "The evacuation is complete."

"The remaining Pedrons are all in the factory's warehouse. The instruments show that the life inside is reacting strongly, probably because it has absorbed a large amount of ethanol. We'll retreat first, lure it away from the factory, and then deal with it with a freeze bomb."

Leo now knows how to create opportunities for his teammates to transform. The ESCG members immediately dispersed, but apart from Leo, no one was prepared to fly the fighter jet. Komon was ready to fight his psychological trauma; he didn't have a good impression of Pedron.

Miss Jaden had also been secretly preparing for a long time. It concerned the family's food expenses for the next month, and she wouldn't back down no matter what, after all, she was the biggest eater in the family... well, she was the one who ate the most.

The main reason is that Zetton's usual cold and aloof image makes it hard to believe she has a huge appetite, but in private, half of the family's food expenses are spent on her, especially after absorbing Sphia, she can eat even more.

Not long after Leo and the others dispersed, a flash of light streaked across the sky, and Nexus appeared directly in the same spot, immediately unleashing Meta Domain.

The Meta Realm is a magical thing; it can automatically exclude things that don't want to be put in. As a result, the large Pedron, or rather, Pedron Gross, who was hiding in the warehouse sucking ethanol, suddenly found himself transported to another space.

Looking up again, Nexus, now transformed into his blue youth form, had already unleashed a storm of arrows aimed at it, while Miss Zetton, who had appeared out of nowhere, was already prepared with the layered storm technique she had learned earlier.

Pedrogunos's brain went blank for a moment. This wasn't right. Shouldn't they have exchanged at least a couple of blows?

Upon seeing the wing-shaped mark on Nexus's chest, Pedrogonus instinctively took a few steps back. Wait, why does this blue guy have the same shape on his chest as Noah?

Before its mind could even process the shock, the layered storm and the arrow storm simultaneously struck Pedroungros, obliterating it completely—literally reducing it to ashes.

Meanwhile, in the deep sea, the alien beast mother, who was secretly developing, was thinking about how to gain more fear from other creatures. She had sensed a powerful force in the ocean, but almost died as soon as she entered.

So he thought of coming to the near sea, releasing his cells to create a monster called Pedron, so that it could collect fear for him, and then return to the sea after becoming stronger... Wait, what do you mean there's a Noah waiting on the shore?

After a brief moment of thought, the alien beast mother turned and swam towards the sea. She even considered changing planets altogether, wondering what she had done to deserve being here... Wait, why is Zaki here too?!

Looking at the miniature Pedron in front of him, Zaki raised his hand and wiped it away, then stared intently at the alien beast mother that hadn't gone far in the deep sea. "I can use it."

The alien beast mother suddenly felt cold all over. Coming to this Earth was definitely the most regrettable decision of her life, without exception. She even wanted to ask if it was possible to reconcile.

Chapter 232 Bonus Chapter! Bonus Chapter!

As the first alien beast to appear on this earth, Pedron was extremely unlucky. He had just crawled out of the sea and was thinking about starting to make money, but he failed to catch anyone at the gas station and at the brewery.

He had just taken a couple of sips of ethanol, thinking that growing bigger would cause even more panic, when he looked up and saw that an Ultraman who looked a lot like Noah and another monster were already waiting for him there.

Thus, the amount of negative fear collected by the alien beast Pedron was 0. From its appearance to its destruction, only one hour had passed, but it was already more than 99% of Melba's.

However, thanks to the existence of the Meta Realm, the factory was not damaged. The fire only spread to some areas at the beginning, but at least Miss Zetton's food allowance for the next month was saved.

Captain Henren glanced at the on-site report, then looked up at Komon. "We didn't even have time to test the strength of the alien beasts, but they don't seem to be too troublesome?"

"This is mainly because Pedrone has only just arrived on land and hasn't had time to spread. I just used Meta Field to cover the entire area around it, but I'm not sure if it dropped any cells on its way here. Even if it only dropped a few, they will multiply over time."

Komon's expression was quite unpleasant, while Imu offered a metaphor, "It's like dust in your house; no matter how many times you clean it, it will always reappear, right?"

Seeing Komon nod, Kai, Daigo, and the others couldn't help but gasp in astonishment, "How could there be such a monster? It's like a malignant virus."

"So they're also known as the Cancer of the Universe. At least in my recovered memories, these alien beasts prey on intelligent beings, especially on humans' fears." Komon looked around; Leo was nowhere to be seen. "By the way, where's the vice-captain?"

"They went to hurl insults. The factory manager didn't take our warnings seriously, resulting in unnecessary casualties. Three employees died in the fire. Deputy Captain Leo is furious."

Gento was actually quite dissatisfied, but Leo's aura was so strong that he felt Leo might kill him if he didn't follow. However, considering that Leo was sensible, Gento left it to him.

Komon responded with an "oh," adding that it would be a good opportunity for them to exchange information if Leo wasn't around. "Furthermore, the alien beasts also possess the evolutionary characteristics of sharing information and absorbing the abilities of their opponents."

"So that means their combat experience is still shared? Tsk... that's not easy to deal with. Is there any way to fight against them?" Although ESCG is definitely fine dealing with alien beasts, it's hard to say about other regions.

After a moment's thought, Komon said, "Courage and hope are their weaknesses. The alien beasts want to devour the fear that people feel!"

The alien beasts are so terrifying in appearance, precisely to constantly instill fear in people so that they can be easily captured. The more people fear the alien beasts, the more alien beasts will be born. They can be said to be the natural enemy of almost all intelligent life.

"Then these alien beasts have really come to the wrong place." Captain Stringman rubbed his hands together. This statement was absolutely correct. For Earthlings who had been tormented by monster disasters for ten years, they were already used to all kinds of monsters.

On the other hand, after giving the factory owner a stern lecture for his irresponsibility, Leo praised Natsukawa Haruki, who was in charge of fire safety, and extended an olive branch to him.

"TPC recently decided to reorganize the Armory and establish a new combat unit. We need some new, promising personnel for this purpose. Are you interested in joining us?"

"Me?" Haruki pointed at himself incredulously, somewhat disbelieving. "But I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have any great power."

Not to mention Haruki himself, even his colleagues were somewhat surprised, and then envious. This was a recruitment from Leo himself, and even if he didn't join ESCG, it was still something to be very happy about.

“You have courage. You didn’t show any fear or act recklessly when facing the monster. You knew to leave after I arrived, and your potential is also quite good.” Leo took out a business card and handed it to Haruki. “Here is my personal number. You can contact me anytime.”

"I won't force you. The choice is yours. Good luck." Leo patted Yaohui on the shoulder, then turned and left to make a phone call to Renlong. Although they could have communicated telepathically, he felt that making a phone call was better.

After learning of the appearance of the alien beasts, Renlong did not show much concern. This was not because she was unaware of how terrifying the alien beasts were; on the contrary, Renlong had a deep understanding of them, having had contact with the visitors.

According to Renlong, when the visitors first arrived at the ancient civilization, they warned that Zagi and the alien beasts would definitely come and that Earthlings would be in danger... Well, after seeing the ancient civilization's lineup, they felt that it wasn't a big deal.

Although modern humans lag behind the ancient civilizations of 30 million years ago in terms of strength and technology, there are some areas where we are far superior: greater unity and stronger beliefs.

The belief in the desire to survive no matter how painful, and the courage to face danger and fear—humanity has long since ignited the spark in its hearts and is evolving in a direction that no one can predict. Alien beasts are destined to have a hard time surviving in such an environment.

"So Leo, you don't need to worry too much, and don't underestimate the power of the Earth itself. The Earth itself still has many secrets."

After rescuing the other chopstick from Gatanothor's hand, Renlong wiped Little Sylphagon's mouth. As she said, Earth possesses a mysterious power; in fact, Galatrom had mentioned this to Leo before.

The reason why neither the Zettonian fleet nor the Reicuranian fleet could directly jump to Earth's atmosphere was because of the influence of this energy. Even Chaosphia and the Destruction Bringer could only open one wormhole.

Even if ordinary alien beast factors spread, they would definitely be suppressed by Mother Earth without external influence. Want to become a monster? Dream on. Under natural conditions, at most some small individuals will be born by chance. Large alien beasts are basically impossible to form naturally.

"With you saying that, I feel much more at ease... Hmm, is Gatanothor gnawing on his plate again?"

"No, she's gnawing on the teacup." Renlong had already given up on saving the tableware. Fortunately, Gatanothor only targeted things related to food and didn't damage other items. It was just a pity about the tea set that had been with her for 30 million years.

"Gatan, listen to your sister Renlong and don't eat anything indiscriminately. I'll take you out to eat tonight." Leo raised his voice slightly, and Gatan immediately stopped eating, put the half-eaten teacup back, and leaned close to Renlong to look at his phone. "I'm not eating anymore."

"Good girl, I'll bring you some good food when I get back." After saying that, Leo hung up the phone, since he would be meeting up with Captain Stringman and the others soon.

Meanwhile, Gatanothor on the other end of the phone blinked and lay obediently on Renlong's lap, completely different from the dark evil god who had wanted to bite everything just moments before. Renlong couldn't quite understand why this little guy only listened to Leo.

Even little Hilbargon, also known as Seele, heard this and blinked at Renlong, no longer wanting to ruin the floor tiles at home, but afraid that Leo wouldn't take her out to play when he came back.

Actually, although these two little ones are mischievous, they are not completely lawless. They know what they should and shouldn't do, so Renlong didn't stop them from doing certain things. The floor will be replaced sooner or later, and there are many spare tea sets. These people in the family are the ones Renlong values ​​the most.

But now that there was a rare opportunity, Miss Renlong thought for a moment, looked at the two little ones, and said, "Call me Mom."

Little Gatan stared at Renlong for a long time, biting his finger, "Um...Mom?"

"Hmm, good girl, but you don't need to call me that when other people are around." Renlong gently rubbed Gatanothor's head. Actually, she would prefer to hear Leo call her that, but he was too shy to say it. Sigh.

"Mom!" Seele quickly called out, just as she called Great Sylphagon, without feeling any pressure at all.

Renlong was somewhat satisfied, then looked towards the door and saw that Gorgorgon and Hilbagun had returned from grocery shopping. Gatanothor and Seele then went to their arms, since these two were the main cooks at home. As long as there was food, they were like mothers. Renlong smiled helplessly.

Meanwhile, Leo received news that the intercepting fleet on Earth had already set off, and it was estimated that a clash between the three forces—the evil Bogaru, the Antirulls, the Natan fleet, and the Earth Defense Force—was inevitable.

Leo himself would naturally have to go there, but he would need to get the others out of the way. As for the method... Galatrom gave him one that he could try.

Seeing Leo walking towards them and seemingly in a good mood, Captain Stringman subconsciously felt a little worried. Leo shook his head, "Don't worry, I didn't do anything, I was afraid of getting killed."

"That's good. I knew you weren't that impulsive." Gento breathed a sigh of relief, but he estimated that even if Leo really did make a move, there wouldn't be any problems with public opinion; people aren't stupid.

However, the TPC regulations stipulate that no action can be taken unless the other party is obstructing the execution of the mission. This is to prevent abuse of power. But if someone dares to obstruct the mission, then there is no problem in shooting them dead.

"The thousands of people who believe in us are more deserving of salvation than the one person who is not," said Director Yoshioka.

Everyone was present. Captain Gento thought for a moment, then decided it was time for him to speak. "The SRC will handle the cleanup. We'll temporarily... um, what's wrong, Vice Captain?"

Gento noticed that Leo's gaze kept drifting towards the coast, and Leo scratched his face as if he had been caught doing something embarrassing.

"It's nothing, it's just... I realized I've never been to the beach much since I was a child."

This wasn't a lie; Leo had indeed never been to the seaside. He had stopped there during previous missions, but he hadn't had the energy to appreciate it.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in ESCG sharpened their eyes immediately. Captain Stringman even patted Leo on the shoulder, "Vice Captain, I suspect there might be other clues about the Alien Beast. How about you go to the beach and investigate?"

So this trick really works! Leo was stunned for a moment. Seeing that he seemed a little hesitant, even Komon and Daigo started to persuade him.

"Yes, Vice Captain, alien beasts are so dangerous, we must investigate them thoroughly."

"That's right, we'll handle the other tasks, so you can focus on... well, just do the investigation."

If Leo hadn't known who these guys were, he would have suspected they were trying to get him away so they could do something bad. But actually, it was he who wanted to get rid of them.

"Really?" Leo's expression was still a little embarrassed, even shy, but this expression, which rarely appeared on his face, made everyone nod in agreement.

"Vice-Captain, you're doing this for the future of all humanity!"

"Um... okay then." That doesn't seem wrong, after all, Leo is there to cover for them, and Evil Bogaru is no ordinary opponent. He's worried that something might happen to the defense team.

Seeing that Leo had agreed, everyone rushed back to the cockpit, took off in their fighter jets, and disappeared from Leo's sight at full speed, as if afraid that Leo would return with them.

Leo really wanted to complain. At least leave him a car. It's more than 30 kilometers from the coast. Did he really think he could... Oh, he really can fly and teleport.

(At the beach... Leo, do you want to see me in a swimsuit?)

Apella seemed quite excited, as if she had just thought of something. Leo pondered for a moment, "Can you change your clothes now?"

(No, so there's no way to watch it for now.)

“I didn’t say I wanted to see your swimsuit,” Leo muttered as he walked towards the shore. Apella emerged cheerfully from the dark patterned fabric and leaned against his back. “But I do want to see yours. How should I put it?”

"...a tyrannical ruler."

"Oh, whatever you want. No matter how incompetent the emperor is, he's still your family. Our fate was sealed tens of thousands of years ago."

Empera hummed a little tune. It was a bit of a pity that Leo wasn't actually planning to go to the beach, but to space. However, since it was to deal with the evil Bogaru, Empera was naturally happy to go and see.

If she hadn't failed to recover from the battle in the Land of Light, she would have killed the evil Bogaru back then, instead of just sealing him away.

"Hmm... I don't feel quite right. Could it be that crazy woman Empera is talking about me behind my back?" Evil Bogaru was a little confused, but he trusted his intuition. It seemed that Empera already knew he was here to find the Ultimate Darkness. He needed to hurry.

But before that, there's a question: who can explain where this fleet came from?

Chapter 233 The Ambition of the Natanians

The reason why the Natanians are so confident has always been a topic of great interest in the universe. To be fair, Natan is a civilization that has existed for quite some time, and for 30 million years they have been stuck in a limbo, neither advancing nor retreating.

Aside from the Natan Emperor, whom the Natanians themselves keep boasting about, whose very existence is uncertain, they really don't have anything else to boast about. It's as if they've wasted their 30 million years of life.

Although they have been stubborn many times, the Natanians themselves know that apart from Emperor Natan, they really don't have anything to offer. The whole universe knows what kind of people they are, but they themselves don't know whether they are pretending or truly confident.

The reason why the Natan aliens have been able to roam the universe for 30 million years is simply because their land is too remote and doesn't have many resources worth considering. The benefits of attacking them are not high, so it's better to leave them to entertain everyone. After all, they've been roaming around for 30 million years, so how could they possibly take off?

However, the Natanians believed that this must be because their Natan planet was powerful enough and had the prestige of Emperor Natan, so no one dared to invade them.

According to the research of a certain bored cosmologist, the Natan aliens changed the various legends about Emperor Natan at least tens of thousands of times over a period of 30 million years, and could almost say they could come up with them off the cuff.

At first, it was said that they could easily defeat Gadi, but later, after discovering that the Naga and the Desis aliens did not take Gadi seriously, it was said that Emperor Natan could keep Gadi as a pet, and that Emperor Natan had an entire army of monsters under his command. It was also said that Emperor Natan would not have died if it had not been for the ambush by the Naga and the Desis aliens.

In response, both the Naga and the Desis aliens said, "Yes, yes, yes, we did it all. We account for 90% of all the bad things in the universe..." No, that doesn't seem to be wrong.

However, few people know that Emperor Natan was a real person. He was tricked by the Evil King into going to Earth to reap the benefits, but he was almost wiped out by Ruganoga. In order not to dampen the morale of the entire planet, they told the outside world that Emperor Natan was ambushed by the Naga and the Desis.

This tactic was indeed effective. After all, it felt quite prestigious for two great civilizations to serve one planet, Natan. Everyone said that Natan the Great's defeat was not unjust. Later, they said that Natan the Great was not in good condition that day. Eventually, no one remembered what had happened back then. They even took their own fabricated history as fact.

How much longer until we reach Earth?

"Commander, at our current speed, we'll be above Earth in three hours at most!"
