Everyone introduced themselves, exchanging glances before finally turning to Max. "Did you recognize the monster and the alien from earlier?"
"Yes, Mr. Narumiya is a Seton alien who disappeared from the universe for many years, and Keprus is a monster formed from starlight that appeared shortly after the birth of the universe."
But none of them were enemies. At least in Max's memory, if Narumiya Kazuya hadn't chosen to back down, he would most likely have been worn down to death by the Star Beast Keprus.
Just as he finished speaking, the figure of Narumiya Kazunari emerged from the light screen, but he was not the real person, but a projection, though he still gave a brief explanation of the situation.
Gento and the others had learned about the out-of-control system from Gauss before, but after actually seeing the full picture of the system, even Fujiwara Juri, who was Delacion's representative, fell silent, because she knew nothing about the system.
“That’s normal. You lost consciousness after sealing Saint Delos. The monitoring system is a weapon that Delacion created with his last bit of strength.”
"So, its strength must be above that of the Giga Endora, is that what you mean?" Fujiwara Juri's question was met with a nod from Narimiya Kazunari.
"Besides us, there are two other Ultramen. Do you know who they are?" Musashi remembered this incident. Narimiya Kazuya pondered for a moment. "No, Chaos Fairy is hiding in another universe. They know how to evade the monitoring system."
"As for those two Ultramen, we don't know their origins, but their light is very similar to that of the ancient civilization. They intervened several times when some cosmic civilizations were invaded by Softia, and they are known as Dyna and Deka."
Narimiya Kazunari projected images of Dyna and Deka, allowing everyone to see these two previously unseen companions for the first time. Judging from the color scheme alone, it certainly had a very ancient feel.
Everyone nodded thoughtfully. The two mysterious Ultramen had not yet appeared, but since they were fighting Chaosphia, they would meet again sooner or later.
"So, are we going to fight Delacion's regulatory system on the other side of the negative universe?"
“That Reibrand will fight alongside you. He said you had better prepare for the worst.”
Hearing this, the captain of the stringed man and the others remained unmoved. They were used to it. It was as if they hadn't lain in the stone coffins often. However, without the stone coffins given by Chariga, they might not have been able to participate in battles every time.
Moreover, they are never afraid of any battle. They will meet force with force and water with water. They were not afraid 30 million years ago, let alone now.
But hopefully nothing unexpected will happen during this battle.
Chapter 280 The Troubles of Dark Sparks
"How did it turn out like this?" Leo, whose size had shrunk due to dissipating a significant amount of energy, was held in Renlong's arms and sighed helplessly. "Although I knew that once Delacion's surveillance system went out of control, it would eventually attack, but..."
But he was still so tired. Leo suddenly leaned against Renlong's chest like a deflated balloon, pouting and looking a little aggrieved and depressed.
The girl in red shoes looked at Leo with some confusion, thinking that this was completely different from the impression he had given her before. She couldn't help but poke Magabasa, "Is he usually like this at home?"
"Normally it's not like this. This is turning back into a child, and the mind becomes much more immature. After all, he's only ten years old. It's only human nature to want to act up when under pressure." Magabasa waved his hand, unusually not being sarcastic. Rather, he seemed quite envious of Renlong.
"And what about them?" The girl in red shoes pointed to Eleking and Zetton, who were drooling over Leo. Eleking, in particular, couldn't stop drooling, and Tilis was itching to touch him. Gorgon and Hilbagun were also looking on with longing.
"Oh, it's nothing. They're always lusting after Boss Leo's body, but they can't control themselves usually. This image brings out their more assertive side. To put it bluntly, they're a bunch of virgins..."
Magabasa's survival instincts made her cover her mouth without hesitation, mainly because her head was still throbbing. Galatron put away the Max Cannon in her hand and placed the tea and snacks in front of the girl in red shoes. "Please enjoy."
"Thank you." The girl in red shoes picked up her tea, thinking to herself how luxurious it was that there was a maid in this house. She was living in the body of Ida Mari and had to cook for herself when she got hungry at night.
Actually, the Galatrom here is not the real Galatrom, but a mechanical consciousness clone created by Galatrom based on his human form. After all, the real Galatrom is still studying Gordis and Gauss's full moon beam.
"Galatron~" The moment Leo spoke, Galatroon had already teleported to his side. "What are your orders?"
"This! I'm counting on you!" Leo solemnly placed the documents he had brought home into Galatron's hands. "Gallamon, you are my most reliable support!"
"Received, I'll get it done quickly." Galatrom took the documents and disappeared, probably busy for a while.
With much of his work gone, Leo's pressure lessened, and he stretched and relaxed, pondering how to deal with Delacion's surveillance system while also guarding against the Dark Shadow Mage causing trouble on Earth.
Leo felt that since Delacion could predict his own appearance, he could see at least the present time. So, if He left behind a monitoring system, didn't He foresee that the monitoring system would go out of control?
If we have seen it, did Delacion leave any countermeasures? If so, why didn't he tell everyone? If not, what were his considerations?
Ugh, it's so frustrating. Since I shrunk, I feel like I've become a bit of an ostrich, but most of my energy is being drained by the Dark Sparks, and I don't even know what they're doing with it.
Oh well, it's not like I'm doing anything bad anyway. Although Dark Spark is called Dark Spark, it doesn't have the evil aura of a Dark Shadow Mage.
"Are you sleepy?" Renlong put down his teacup, looked at Leo with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but reach out and poke his cheek twice.
"No, not really. I just suddenly feel a bit sentimental. The Max propulsion system seems to be a crucial turning point. Both the Sphia and Goblin civilizations went down the wrong path. What will become of humanity?"
If the old defense forces were to take power, they would most likely repeat the mistakes of the previous two. The thought of all humanity turning into something like the inhuman monsters that are Scia makes me wish I were dead.
“Humans today would never go down that path.” The girl in red shoes patted her chest. “I have a lot of confidence in humans. Their flames are burning very brightly. Even Sukuna would have to give them a wide berth.”
Of course, this does not mean that the average level of humanity has reached the level of Ida and Iryu, but there is great hope. Compared with the past, even though a lot has happened in a month and people's hearts have been somewhat turbulent, there is more confidence and hope.
“Hmm, I mean, now that the Setonians have appeared, you should have more to say, right?” Leo suddenly remembered that he hadn’t even had a chance to ask about Little Gadi yet, as his attention had been completely drawn to the Gloca surveillance system.
"About that little Gadi, right?" The girl in red shoes yawned, since she was using Ida Mari's body and was feeling sleepy. "Now I can say for sure that the one inside her is a node left by Delacion."
"The Setonians have already told you that the essence of this universe is the superposition of several universes: their surface universe, the real universe here, and the deep universe that seals the ultimate darkness."
The girl in red shoes gestured, explaining that the different universes are parallel entities. The surface universe blocked many enemies from the real universe, but because the real universe and the Land of Light universe are directly adjacent, they came into contact after the Dark Emperor and Juda broke through the original barrier.
However, most of their enemies were actually stopped by the Seton aliens, for which they paid a heavy price. The Seton alien civilization was once considered powerful compared to the Land of Light, but now, apart from Kepulus, all that remains are hybrids.
"The universe, including the negative universe, is basically connected to the outside world to some extent. However, the deep universe is firmly locked to ensure that no one can directly come into contact with the ultimate darkness and become a puppet of darkness like Lugiel."
“Lugiset…I remember it was also one of the Great Seals. Wasn’t it originally an enemy?”
"Actually, to be more precise, the sealed thing is called Dark Lugsette, and the enhancement of ultimate darkness is too powerful."
The girl in red shoes can never forget that in another cosmic battlefield 30 million years ago, Lugiel strung together the eight planets of that universe's solar system like a candied hawthorn with a single shot.
"Lugiset was originally an entity that maintained the order of the universe, similar to the immune system, and was also known as the 'cosmic white blood cell'. Logically speaking, it should be one of our own, and it even chased Gatanothor all the way to Earth."
"However, Lugiel was also very unlucky. When it arrived on Earth, Gatanothor had already absorbed the ultimate darkness, and Gordis had fully developed. This guy was directly infected by the dark Gordis, bound by Gatanothor's tentacles, and corrupted by the River of Oblivion."
There's really no way to explain this. Lugiel could have fought the original Gatanothor, but fighting the Dark God Gatanothor + Dark Gordis + Oblivion is really a bit too much for him.
As a result, Lugiel was directly corrupted, and the corruption reached a very deep level, turning him into Dark Lugiel, who almost killed Tiga and Nexus.
“Oh no, we’ve gone off-topic.” The girl in red shoes shook her head. “Dracion superimposed several universes on itself to form a new universe, and the new universe needs a node to stabilize it.”
"So that cosmic node is inside Little Gadi's body?" Leo thought for a moment. "But she only came of age a few days ago. How did this thing get into her body?"
"I don't know. Delacion didn't tell me where he put the things. I figured he must have made his own arrangements." The girl in red shoes stroked her chin, genuinely puzzled.
"The node looks like a big rock, except it smells a bit good. To be honest, I could understand if it were eaten by Gakuma, but how could it be inside Gadi's body?"
Leo thought for a moment and roughly understood, "It's probably because this kid is too socially awkward and doesn't dare to come out to find food, so he got so hungry that he..."
According to the previous evaluation from Monster Island, Little Gadi really could starve himself to death by his own abilities. Due to malnutrition, he only grew to be a little over fifty meters tall when he reached adulthood, while normal Gadi are at least sixty meters tall.
It's simply outrageous, utterly outrageous. No one can figure out what's going on, so the girl in red shoes decided to give up on thinking about this issue in depth.
“The nodes are related to the stability of this universe and are also connected to the seal, so we still need to protect that little Gadi.”
“Hmm.” Leo certainly knew this, and at the same time had some guesses. “If Delacion predicted that the regulatory system would go out of control, then are nodes something He specifically left behind as a means of restraint?”
"That's unlikely, because the nodes were created much earlier than the regulatory system. After the regulatory system was completed, Delacion went into a slumber and has not been able to give us any response until now."
However, both Renlong and the Red Shoe Girl agreed with Leo's statement that Delacion foresaw the possibility of the regulatory system going out of control.
The two exchanged information for a while, and Leo gained a lot more information. Then the girl in red shoes prepared to leave. After all, she had sneaked out, and if Ida Mari's family found out that she had suddenly disappeared, they would definitely be very nervous, and it would be difficult to explain later.
Just then, Leo also felt sleepy. He yawned and prepared to go back to his room to sleep, since he had to prepare for the battle tomorrow, and the girls definitely wouldn't bother him tonight.
Ampera wasn't in a hurry to rest with Leo. She still needed to catch up with Mefilas and the others. She really didn't know how to make these old subordinates shine for Leo. As for their combat strength, they were a bit behind their current level.
"Mefilas, what use are you three anymore?"
Hearing Ampera ask this question, the trio of Mefilas felt quite awkward. After all, judging from the tone of his voice, His Majesty the Emperor was genuinely curious about the question, but the sentence itself was somewhat insulting.
But from a practical point of view, the three of them almost lost in a three-on-one fight against a single Gloca Bishop, so it's hard to say what use they are.
"What use do you hope we can be?" Mefilas looked at Ampera. He really didn't expect that his emperor still had a rational side and was already living his own life. This was a good thing.
"Hmm... let me think about it." Empera pondered. The family's combat strength is not lacking among the three of them. If it comes to scientific research, Galatrom and Ako are top-notch, and there's also Helotia.
"Could the three of you go back to the Dark Universe and help Leo establish himself and develop his own power there? Your influence shouldn't be a problem, right?"
After much thought, this was all the idea that came to mind for Ampera. It would be appropriate to leave this matter to Mefilas and the others.
But to Mefilas and the others, it meant something else entirely: His Majesty the Emperor was paving the way for his beloved's future domination of the universe!
Indeed, with Leo's strength, becoming the new Dark Emperor is not a problem at all; in fact, he is arguably more suitable than the previous Emperor Alien!
"Ah!"
Leo, who had just lain down, suddenly sneezed. He huddled under the covers, wondering if the Dark Shadow Mage was after him. Come to think of it, that guy didn't cause any trouble when Bishop Gloca invaded; he must be plotting something.
The Ultimate Fighting Device and the Dark Spark both floated out, indicating their approval. Ever since Emperor had a body, she had taken away the Dark Cloth, and now these two were the ones closely guarding Leo.
"So what exactly are you trying to do with all that energy?" Leo stared at the dark sparks, feeling like he wouldn't recover until tomorrow morning.
Dark Spark didn't answer. She couldn't exactly say that she was actually planning to create a weapon and then find an opportunity to kick Darkweave aside so that it would never rise again.
Dark energy surged from the Dark Spark, then transformed into a human form and pressed down on Leo.
She was a girl with black hair and red eyes, wearing a common black school uniform, but it suited her perfectly. Her whole demeanor was strong yet soft, with horns on her head curving backward like a devil. Her eyes were bright and joyful, making it hard not to like her.
It's so beautiful, so beautiful that words can't describe it. Anyone would have that first impression, but Leo only had one reaction: "It's so heavy, can you move it? I'm still a child."
"Oh, sorry, sorry." Dark Spark, or rather Lugiel, quickly moved away from Leo, then stood up triumphantly and spun around. "How about it? My body's pretty good, isn't it?"
"It looks pretty good," Leo said honestly, "but why does it look a bit like Ren?"
It does resemble Renlong, only the sacred aura has been replaced with a domineering and forceful one. Dark Spark certainly wouldn't say that he subconsciously referenced Renlong because he saw that Leo liked it a lot; he just gave a light snort.
"You have a problem with me?"
"No." Leo quickly shook his head, and seeing Lugiel lick his lips, he hid under the covers even more. "Um, can we reconcile?"
"Are you serious right now?" As he spoke, Lugiel glanced at the Ultimate Fighting Device, thinking that if Darkweave were here, he could pin Leo down in front of Darkweave and then... hehehe.
"This is illegal!"
"I'll return some of the energy to you first, then you can turn back into an adult. Wouldn't that be legal then?"
"This works?" Leo really didn't expect it, but fortunately Lugiel was just teasing him and then hugged him in his arms. "Alright, alright, I know you're tired. Go and rest. There's still a tough battle to fight tomorrow."
Watching Leo yawn and fall asleep in her arms, Dark Spark pinched his cheek, thinking to herself that she wondered when the person she loved would finally be able to get a proper rest. Why couldn't he belong to her alone? And to make matters worse, that annoying Galaxy Spark had her eye on him too. So frustrating.
Chapter 281 How about calling her Rukiel?
On a typical day, when Leo woke up in the morning, he had already returned to his normal size, and his energy consumption had almost recovered. The Dark Spark and the Ultimate Fighting Device really wanted to drain him dry, taking away too much of his energy.
"So tight..." Leo thought to himself, no wonder he felt so uncomfortable when he slept last night. Lugiel was holding him too tightly, as if he was about to be taken away.
"Wake up." Leo reached out and nudged Dark Spark, who yawned. "What? What time is it?"
"It's almost seven o'clock, and I still have to rush to work today." Leo got up and dressed...wait, when did he take off his clothes last night?!
"What did you do last night!?" Leo stared at Dark Spark in astonishment. The latter scratched his head and said, "It feels more comfortable to sleep without clothes on."
"Then why did you take mine off?" Faced with Leo's confusion, Dark Spark simply looked away. "Then don't worry about it."
Leo glanced down at his body, wondering if there were any strange marks. Just then, Magabasa pushed open the door. "Boss~ Time to get up and have breakfast... Wow, you guys went all out last night? Wait, who's this?"
As he spoke, Magabasa couldn't help but stare at Leo, suddenly feeling a bit hungry. Alas, so many things had happened recently.
“She’s the Dark Spark, but I think calling her Lugiel would be more appropriate.” Leo’s words nearly made Magabasa’s jaw drop. “Boss, you’re really not even sparing the inhuman now!”
"You talk like you're a human being." Dark Spark couldn't help but retort. She could only say that Dimaga hadn't suffered any beatings for nothing in this house, and now she finally understood.
Magabasa stuck out her tongue. Anyway, with Leo around, Dark Spark couldn't possibly turn her into a Spark Doll. Speaking of which, Leo's physique is pretty good. Not particularly muscular, but very well-built. Dark Spark and the Ultimate Fighting Device are quite good at shaping.
Watching Magabasa run away, Leo pondered for a moment, "But now that you mention it, she's a girl after all, isn't it a bit inappropriate to name her Lugiel?"
“That seems to be true. Besides, I also gave you the Spark Doll that I originally used for myself. Actually, you are the real Lugiel.” After thinking for a moment, Dark Spark realized that she couldn’t just call her by her item name.
"How about we learn from Galatrom and change the pronunciation of the name? Hmm... how about Lugiel?" Leo said, spelling it out, but Lugiel just glanced at it casually.
"Since you gave me this name, it must be the most suitable one."
Seeing that Luciel was blushing with pride, the Ultimate Fighting Nymph angrily bumped Leo's shoulder. Everyone else is just a tool, so why is she the only one who's different?
Leo couldn't do anything about it, since Lugiel was a human now. But it's no wonder she absorbed so much ultimate darkness back then, not only because she created the Dark Lugiel body for battle, but also because of her normal human body.
However, Luciel clearly had no intention of getting along with anyone else. She only wanted Leo to see her like this, and it would only belong to Leo.
Anyway, Rukiel is determined to prove that Leo only needs her, and can kick the Galaxy Spark aside. As for the Ultimate Fighting Device? Anyway, that thing can't threaten her position. If it's so capable, it can turn into a person and take it.
Leo didn't quite understand the Dark Spark's murmurs, so he simply took it back, put it away, and went out to eat before heading to work.
The documents I gave to Galatron last night have all been processed and placed on his bedside table, prompting Leo to remark as usual that the family really can't do without her.
"Gatan, Seele, you must listen to your sister Renlong at home, understand?"
“Okay.” The two little ones nodded. Leo took out the Ultimate Fighting Device and put away everyone except Renlong, Magabasa, and Ako, since this battle would require a lot of help.
But Renlong and the others definitely have to stay behind, in case Leo and the others are all away from Earth and no one is on guard against the Dark Shadow Mage causing trouble in the dark.
As the daughter of the earth and the guardian of the ley lines, Renlong can only fully unleash her fighting power when she is on Earth. Of course, this is also because only she and Galatrom can keep Gatanothor and Seele in their household.
On the other hand, Kaito, or rather Ultraman Max, took a rare day off today because he wanted to meet with his old friend and get some information from him.
