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

"News has come from Mephisto. My demigod has ordered that Mephisto, Desrem, and Grozam have defected, and a bounty has been placed on their heads throughout the universe. The three of them have already contacted her and are preparing to defect."

Ampera gently nuzzled Leo's cheek. "Do you think it's a real defection or just a pretense of allegiance?"

"Whether it's true or not, for the three of them to make this choice at this time, something must have happened. It's probably related to the death of the evil Bogaru. Your other half is probably going to be difficult to deal with."

Leo picked up Seele, his eyes filled with unreadable thoughts. The Dark Emperor, it seems, will be much more difficult to deal with than expected.

This really deserves an apology.

Chapter 240 Sisters Meet, Eyes Filled with Hatred

The ESCG command room was unusually peaceful in the afternoon, as if nothing had happened in the morning. However, everyone was somewhat tired, mainly because there were too many monsters resurrected by the evil Bogaru in the morning, and they couldn't replenish their energy in time since they weren't on Earth.

But nothing particularly special happened in the afternoon. The main focus was on analyzing the origins of the evil Bogaru and the alien beasts. Leo, who had pretended to go to the beach, brought everyone seashell bracelets that he had made himself.

Of course, Leo did personally pick these up and string them together, but it was a token of his appreciation. He also brought back a truckload of large watermelons, stuffing them into everyone's hands, especially picking out the biggest and sweetest ones from the armory.

On the commander's large screen, Dr. Tango and Dr. Otomo were eating watermelon while showing everyone the data. "Based on the alien beast cells that you have collected, we have done some preliminary analysis."

"What is certain at present is that the alien beasts are basically derived from a special factor that can fuse with everything known, whether organic or inorganic, to become monsters. They can react to human emotions, especially fear."

Although Captain Gentoo and his team had already learned a lot about the alien beasts from Komon, the speed of Dr. Dango's research was truly surprising; it had only been a few hours.

"Is the research progressing this fast?"

"After all, we had already obtained some research data on this topic from the Icarus aliens during the Lion's Nose Tree Sea incident. Human emotions have an extremely strong power."

Having realized this, TPC has increased its efforts in guiding positive emotions and various forms of publicity, which has led Daigo to feel that he is becoming more and more capable in combat.

"So, is there a risk of the alien beasts becoming rampant? After all, if they can multiply as long as there's a few cells left, it's very dangerous." Leo pretended not to know anything and ate his watermelon.

"There's no need to worry too much about that. Our tests show that for the alien beast factor to transform into a monster, the cells need to reach a certain scale, and their division and materialization also depend on the negative emotions of intelligent life. But our Earth..."

Everyone immediately showed a knowing look. If the alien beast factor needs negative emotions to turn into a monster, then Earth is indeed not a suitable environment for them to grow, especially fear, which alien beasts love the most.

Everyone has things they're afraid of, and everyone experiences fear. This is normal and an instinct as a living being. But for Earthlings, who survived the ten-year monster era and nearly destroyed the planet several times, they have nothing to fear, not even monsters.

So even if there are alien beasts, they are at most like small Pedrons. Without additional factors, it is not easy for them to grow larger, let alone become rampant. In other words, large alien beasts are generally only separated from their mothers.

"However, just in case, it's better to have a countermeasure. Fortunately, we have studied Ultraman Nexus's beam in advance and have already completed it."

Compared to Chaosfia, the alien beasts seemed far too kind and approachable. Even Dark Zagi, who was also eating watermelon, couldn't help but shake his head. The environment on Earth was truly harsh; even alien beasts had a hard time surviving.

"The most urgent task is to deal with the alien beast mother. She is hiding in the ocean, which is very troublesome."

It's hard to imagine that, even though we can fight space wars, humanity still harbors a deep-seated fear of the ocean. There's nothing we can do about it; even if Leo didn't know what was in the ocean, the bloody lessons we've learned are still there.

Twenty years ago, the old defense force, having learned of the existence of the ancient civilization, attempted to explore the ocean. They obtained missiles from the Friendship Project and, through the translation of ancient inscriptions, learned that R'lyeh, the largest city of the ancient civilization, was located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Exploration was therefore a matter of course.

At the time, the old defense forces even deployed a modified nuclear submarine. The submarine crew, along with a dozen investigators, dived into the deep sea to investigate R'lyeh and see if they could find anything. However, after the submarine descended to a certain depth, the communication failed.

At first, no one paid much attention, thinking it was just due to the influence of the ocean magnetic field or ocean currents. Later, the investigation went smoothly, and the submarine did find some ancient relics in the deep sea. However, the investigators soon encountered an accident.

According to them, they felt as if they were being watched by something. After an hour at the bottom, the entire research team lost contact. Their last message was: "Don't go into the sea! Don't go into the sea!"

Three months after losing contact, the nuclear submarine responsible for the investigation was discovered by members of the Arctic scientific expedition team, and none of the fifty people involved in the investigation survived.

A fierce battle seemed to have taken place inside the submarine. Later, it was determined that they had encountered something bizarre. First, someone couldn't handle the pressure and chose to commit suicide. Then, internal strife broke out, and finally... someone turned into a non-human monster.

Leo only recently learned about these things. All the files were strictly sealed, and the parts that Leo could access were very limited. It wasn't that he lacked the necessary permissions, but rather that many files were sealed in non-electronic format for security reasons. He had to go to the Geo Research Center specifically for that purpose.

Leo is very concerned about the alien beasts. He has been lurking in the sea for so long, but now he has chosen to come ashore. This is not as simple as taking the civil service exam. Oh, taking the civil service exam is not simple either.

Under such circumstances, human exploration and research of the ocean must be carried out with extreme caution and prudence, but we have never given up.

"Compared to the alien beasts, those powerful monsters that may be sealed away are also enemies we must treat with caution. The plan of the Destruction Summoner is quite insidious." Captain Stringman subconsciously touched his pocket, where the faded Fadelan Gemstone was still there.

"It seems that the Destruction Bringer has been plotting against Earth for a long time and has been making preparations in secret." Imu frowned. Whether it was the demon Onijuro from five hundred years ago or Klaus, whose whereabouts are now unknown, both proved this point.

"And then there's Nix, the mysterious man who controls the monsters and stands on our side... He's shrouded in mystery."

When Daigo said this, Leo lowered his head even further. His other hand was also busy writing today's battle report against the alien beasts. Halfway through writing, Goroki called.

"This is the Special Investigation Division. Vice Captain Leo, that kid named Haruki Natsukawa is here for a medical check-up, and he's even carrying your business card."

“His identity is fine. His father was a firefighter who died nine years ago while saving people during a monster disaster. I think he is courageous and has good qualities. The armory is short-staffed. If he can pass the test, let him go.”

Leo had taken the time to look at Natsukawa Haruki's information. He was excellent in all aspects and had even studied at the TPC training school. However, he failed the final assessment a few months ago. It seems that today's incident with the alien beasts made him realize that the defense team is better at protecting people.

"Follow the combatants' instructions?"

"Apart from driving and shooting, everything is done according to ESCG combatant standards. You will be the examiner yourself. The armory is in a hurry to get people."

If Haruki can pass, that would be great. If he can't, there's nothing we can do. Just like Daigo back then, Director Sawai gave Daigo another chance to be assessed. Leo only gave Haruki Natsukawa one chance.

Captain Stringman was somewhat surprised. "Vice-Captain, you think highly of that young man?"

"...Um, is it possible that he's bigger than me and my dream?" Leo pointed to himself; he didn't look that big, did he?

After Leo finished speaking, everyone realized that it seemed true. Leo and Meng weren't that much older than each other, and they were so reliable that they didn't seem like young people at all. Sigh, they couldn't help but feel a little concerned about Vice Captain Leo's love life.

"Vice-Captain, that girl you introduced to inspect the Prometheus's main control system, doesn't she share your last name?" I couldn't help but ask, even though it was a bit impolite, because... I really cared about it!

“Galatron? Hmm, she’s family too.” Leo didn’t think anything of it. He never hid his relationship with Galatron, but the girls in his family said that to avoid unnecessary trouble, Renlong was the only girlfriend on the surface.

Fujimiya quickly pinched Imu's thigh to stop him from talking. Leo wiped his hands, uploaded the report, and stood up. "Daigo and I are going to the Geo Research Base. Notify me immediately if there is any emergency."

"Oh, by the way, Komon, you have a day off from this afternoon until tomorrow morning, so hurry up and go."

The sudden holiday left Komon somewhat bewildered, while Leo and Daigo simply left. As they entered the corridor, Daigo couldn't help but glance at Leo, "Vice-Captain, if we're talking about holidays in a serious way, shouldn't you be on holiday today?"

“I already went to the beach for a vacation this morning, so it doesn’t matter if I leave it to Komon. The main thing is that his girlfriend emailed me saying that her family is planning to go on a picnic today, and that guy hasn’t met her parents yet.”

Since the incident with Captain Stringman, Leo has sent his contact information to the relatives and friends of all the team members. This way, they can inform them in advance about many things, such as letting them know they are safe and sound, and their holiday plans.

"I see." Daigo immediately understood what Leo meant, and then he remembered that it was also because of Leo's arrangement that he first met Lina's father. He didn't know how to thank him enough.

Leo wasn't too concerned about what Daigo was thinking; he was just thinking about Zetton and Jet. This time, he was only supposed to deal with the Natan aliens and the evil Bogaru, but inexplicably, he resurrected Zetton's sister.

Leo had originally envisioned a warm embrace between the two sisters, but to his surprise, Zetton and Jet started fighting right after meeting, and the two were evenly matched. They even chose to meet again at the Jupiter base for some unknown reason.

Actually, fighting when they meet is a habit between Zetton and the Zett sisters. Leo didn't know before that Zetton monsters were not born naturally, but were created by stitching together the genes of different aliens and monsters using some kind of technology.

The early Zetton was different from the current one. It did not have barriers or teleportation abilities, but only fireballs and relatively strong power. At that time, it was called Zet. Later, as the Zet monsters bred and improved, the two Zettons that could truly be called "Zetton" 001 and 002 were born.

(Incidentally, the Baltan aliens believe that the name Zetton, which is easily associated with the Zetton aliens, is an insult to the Zetton monster.)

The original Zettons were Miss Zetton from the Leo family and her older sister. Since the two sisters were born at almost the same time, the Zettonians pondered for a long time about who was the older sister and who was the younger sister, but they couldn't figure it out. In the end, they decided that whoever won the fight would be the older sister.

The victorious 001 became the older sister and inherited the codenames of all the previous test subjects, becoming Jet. The loser, 002, also known as Miss Zetton, became the younger sister. The two sisters possessed extraordinary talents.

The Zettonians originally thought that even if they couldn't raise Zettons as well as the Baltanians, they were still the best at raising Zettons in the universe. That is, until a certain blind Guts alien went to the Valley of Flames to steal something and was slapped a few times by the Zetton raised by the King of Ultra, almost dying there.

Now that the sisters have met again, to be honest, it feels like looking in a mirror. Jet and Zetton look almost exactly alike. Apart from Leo, only Galatron can tell them apart. Even their expressionless, icy faces are exactly the same.

Dimaka huddled in the corner, thinking to himself that he was really in trouble now. He was already only able to get a little soup from the eldest sister, Zetton, and now there was another one. It seemed that he would never rise in status in this family.

"My innocent sister, how did you come back to life?"

"My foolish sister, are you unhappy?"

As soon as the two sisters opened their mouths, everyone could smell the gunpowder. Wait a minute, shouldn't the two sisters be moved to tears after being reunited after so long?

“I’m smarter than you, and I’m doing very well now. Leo is very good to me; he’s an excellent master.”

“Of course, I’ve experienced that firsthand, but it turns out you two are just master and servant.” Jett’s lips curled up, but his expression remained indifferent.

Zetton's right eyelid twitched uncontrollably. Zetton, this monster, had no heart, but the sisters had feelings for each other. From childhood to adulthood, Jet liked to take her things. He wanted to take everything. Even when it was the same food, Jet would take Zetton's portion and give her the last one.

“My relationship with Leo is deeper than you think!” Miss Jetton frowned.

"So, do you want me to call him brother-in-law, or do you want me to call him sister's husband?"

"Damn it!" Dimaga's heart skipped a beat. Without thinking, he immediately activated the Time-Space Dimension to protect himself. Then he heard a loud bang. Zetton in human form could still punch through a steel plate, but this punch was caught by Jet with his bare hands.

“That’s right. I’ve always wanted to teach you something: you have to earn what you want through your own strength.” Jet’s outstretched hand gradually ignited with yellow-purple flames. “Now, let me see how much you’ve improved over the years.”

"If you can't beat me, then you can expect to become my brother-in-law in the future!"

Watching Zetton and Jet fight, Galatron raised an eyebrow. After all, Jet's soul couldn't have been completely preserved during his slumber in the Monster Graveyard. The Ultimate Fighting Device must have taken something to repair it... What did it take to repair it like this?

Chapter 241 The New Dark Four Heavenly Kings

Inside the alternate dimension of Emperor Empera's spaceship "Dark Fear," several aliens knelt on one knee before the Dark Emperor, bowing their heads to show their loyalty.

They are the new strategist Gashulein, the new mastermind Reiflet, and the new hero Godler, who seems to dislike talking. The vacancies in the two generals caused by Antiru's betrayal will be filled by the Dark Shadow Mage.

"Mefilas and the others have disappointed me. If you few disappoint me... well, you need no further explanation about your fate."

"We will not fail Your Majesty's expectations!" The three lowered their heads even further. Actually, to be more precise, there were five people, because the Gashulein aliens were three brothers sharing one body.

"Your Majesty," the Gashulein alien stood up, "I am willing to be the vanguard of the dark universe and to eliminate those despicable Ultramen of the Land of Light for Your Majesty!"

"And so should my subordinates!" The Reiflet alien also hurriedly volunteered. The two of them were quite happy when they learned that they had been chosen as one of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings, and they knew even more that they should seize the opportunity to show themselves.

Meanwhile, the Reiflet alien didn't forget to steal glances at the silent Godler alien beside him. He had never heard of such aliens in the universe before, but since this guy had inherited the title of "Great General," it meant that his combat power was definitely very strong.

"The four of you, go together," the Dark Emperor said calmly. "If you fail to complete the mission, don't come back."

The invisible pressure caused both the Reifletian and Gashuleinian Huanren to tremble slightly. "I...I understand."

Therefore, the Dark Four were sent directly to Earth. Of course, this was also to test the enemy's strength. The strength of the Gashulein aliens and the Reiflet aliens was barely usable, but the real key lay with the Godler aliens.

The Godler aliens are not a race from the universe under Emperor's control. Rather, they are aliens that the Antirulls and Geor encountered and captured when they invaded another universe. Yes, it is the same universe where Max carried out his mission.

According to Giorgan, the Godler aliens are almost born to destroy, and their combat power is extremely strong. It took the two of them, who were injured when they joined forces, to capture them. They are fully capable of taking over Grozam's position.

Not to mention the emperor also played some tricks; he wanted to see how these Ultramen would respond, and the people of the Land of Light wouldn't get any advantage either.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the remaining aliens?" the Dark Shadow Mage asked. This time, several thousand aliens had followed the expedition in hopes of gaining the emperor's favor, most of whom were mercenaries and wanderers from the universe.

In addition, there are other groups such as the Zettonians, Baltanians, Salomeians, and Babarians, who send fleets to fight alongside the Emperor.

However, the Dark Emperor simply waved his hand dismissively, showing utter disdain, "They're nothing but a bunch of useless ants, their remaining value is only so-so."

"Understood." The Shadow Mage bowed respectfully. "I'll take care of it right away."

With the departure of the Shadow Mage, the entire dark and terrifying alternate dimension grew even darker, and soon there would be no light at all.

The Dark Emperor gazed upon this desolate wasteland, his mind still filled with memories of the past. Few knew that the Dark Terror spaceship had set sail with the Aliens of Empera. This was the land of Empera, a world that had died after being betrayed by the light.

In the darkness, the emperor let out a cold laugh, as if he had thought of something.

Meanwhile, on Earth, Chariga, who had returned, was a little nervous because he discovered that in less than half a month, the Earth had become something he didn't recognize.

Can someone explain why this group of people has been able to fight two space wars in a row? Why are all the cities on Earth like they've been hit by a major earthquake? What does it mean that the 1,000-meter-long Maga Yamata no Orochi just died a few days ago?

"Mr. Charlie, it's a pleasure to meet you." Director Sawai smiled and pushed the tea in front of Charlie in front of him, which is considered the highest level of etiquette in diplomatic occasions.

"Thank you very much." Charlie picked up the tea and took a sip with an air of importance, all of which was knowledge he had just crammed on.

Charlie Jia has a clear understanding of his position. Earth is no longer a simple client relationship for him. Although he knows that this investment will definitely pay off, the payoff is coming really fast!

He was already surprised by the strength of Earthlings before, let alone now. He felt that it was hard to say whether Emperor could leave this universe alive, because when he came, he had already seen Leo's EX Zetton and Grand King, the latter being the same model as Juda.

“I am aware of your needs. Coincidentally, I have some dealings with Mr. Nix, and he can solve your problem.”

What Charika was talking about was the global disaster caused by the appearance of Maga Serpent. The massive earthquake affected many cities, and many people are still homeless. However, no matter how advanced the Earth's civil engineering industry is, it is impossible to complete the reconstruction work in a short period of time.

"Oh, is it reliable?"

"Of course, as you all know, he sees the Earth as his own property, but he doesn't want to interfere too much with human development. However, it's not a problem if it's about making a deal."

Charlie thought that Director Sawai was unaware of Leo's situation, but it was indeed Leo who had instructed him to do so. Among the people he knew, only Leo and the Barossa aliens could rebuild so many cities in such a short time.

Leo is able to use Galatron to turn everything in the ruins into data and then reassemble it, just like putting scattered building blocks back together, while the Barossa aliens... they rely solely on their numbers.

Despite their notorious reputation as pirate aliens, many Barossa aliens take on these jobs due to their low labor costs resulting from their large numbers.

"That's good. Hmm, you said the Dark Emperor Empera is going to attack Earth?" Although I already know, I still need to find an opportunity to officially announce this matter, and Chariga's visit is a good opportunity.

"Generally speaking, invading a planet doesn't require the emperor to personally take action. Such a grand scale wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's for conquering your universe. It will arrive at most tomorrow."

As Charlie Jia spoke, he noticed that Director Sawai's expression remained calm and composed. However, it was impossible for someone in such a high position to be completely unaware of the so-called Dark Emperor. His composure was truly remarkable.

"Thank you for informing us. Earth will be prepared. We will not run away, nor will we surrender."

"This seems to be the same for all Earthlings, regardless of which universe they live in. I hope we'll have another chance to trade. I brought some things with me this time that I hope will be of help to you."

As he spoke, Charlie took out a list and introduced each member to Director Sawai one by one.

"The three mechanical monsters, Cosmic Dragon Nas, Zatansilba, and Sam Avenger, can be of some help. There are also some other monsters..."

"Aren't you afraid of being targeted by that Dark Emperor?" Director Yoshioka raised an eyebrow; these things looked quite unusual.

“I am a businessman. The most important thing for a businessman is fair trade and not to offend customers. But who I do business with is still my own decision.” Charlie Ga said with a smile. He decided to take a gamble. He felt that the people of this earth were worth betting his fortune on.

“It’s a pleasure to cooperate.” Director Sawai extended his hand, and Charlie quickly shook it back. “I’m very pleased to have reached a cooperation agreement with Earth.”
