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

Page 179

"When do you think this battle will end, Vice Captain?" Komon asked suddenly, as if sensing something.

“…I don’t know.” Leo sipped his juice. “To be honest, I’ve been thinking about this too, but as you should know, the decision isn’t in our hands.”

"No matter who our enemy is or where they come from, we will fight them for as long as they want. Humanity will not compromise or surrender. This planet belongs to humanity."

Leo patted Komon on the shoulder, unsure if what he said would be of any use to Komon, since the other was an Ultraman who had been fighting for 30 million years and was certainly more open-minded about this than he was.

"The universe is showing us its darkest and most ruthless side. All the stars in the sky are enemies. Many people have even lost faith in the universe, but... we are not alone."

Director Sawai was worried about this, which is why he wanted to form an alliance with the civilization represented by Raeder and Saki. He hoped that humanity would realize that not all stars are enemies, and that no matter how difficult things are now, they should have hope for the future.

"I have to get back to work." Leo let out a long sigh and then hurried toward the armory.

Watching Leo's departing figure, Komon's eyes were filled with approval and affirmation. Leo's will was firm, and his mentality was good. If something unexpected really happened to him in this battle, he would pass on this power to him.

Chapter 283 Magabasa's Daily Silly Moments

"What do you mean you're going to carry out the mission for us?" In the armory, Leo looked at the Tenglong team that had come specifically to transport the Friendship-2 missile and couldn't help but complain.

"What, you think our Tenglong team is no good?" The captain of the Tenglong team crossed his arms and smiled with exceptionally sunny confidence. "Don't think that only your ESCG team is the ace. Since our Tenglong team was established, our crash rate has been 0%."

This guy definitely did it on purpose. Without even thinking about it, Leo got a little angry. "Hey, that's too much. Let's not bring this up and we can still be good friends."

There's no way around it; ESCG is just too authoritative when it comes to plane crashes. Even though they only play high-level games, they still have a good reputation. Not to mention, as fellow defense teams, everyone knows each other inside and out.

However, the captain of the Tenglong team was quite surprised to hear Leo speak fluent Asian branch official language, but he just waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, so you really intend to take this missile and perish together with the enemy?"

"If we've considered it, this is actually a pretty good result," Leo said, spreading his hands. "Have you finished reviewing the information on that so-called regulatory system?"

"I've finished reading it." It was only after reading it that I realized Leo was right. If we could replace the entire surveillance system with the cost of one person and one fighter jet when facing such an enemy, it would indeed be worth it.

In the worst-case scenario, we would detonate the extradimensional bombs we created during our research on the Meta Realm, thus blocking the spacetime portal that the bishops of Groca used yesterday.

The regulatory system cannot simply drill a hole to connect the negative universe to the real universe, because its size is limited. A hole that is too large would affect the stability of spacetime. Ultimately, it is something created by Delacion and will not harm the universe.

If humanity could control Bishop Groca... well, that's not very realistic. Even if such an opportunity existed, and even if Earth desperately needed power, Leo would have to carefully consider whether the consequences of doing so could be controlled.

"You ESCG guys are always at the forefront."

"That's why we were chosen."

Leo looked at the Snow White undergoing weapons modifications. The disparity in strength between the enemy and himself was too great. What he needed was not King Joe's firepower, but the speed of the Snow White, so that it could directly break through the enemy's vanguard with missiles.

The Snow White is a speed-type machine developed and researched by TPC for space. When equipped with the Max Engine, it can reach speeds close to a beam in space, but Leo definitely can't drive that fast, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see anything.

"You only have five fighter jets at most, that must be difficult to manage."

"The Setonians and their allies will provide us with cover. This is of great importance, and they obviously don't want anything to happen on Earth."

Regarding the Seton aliens, all the information TPC currently has comes from Leo's side, including the fact that a powerful force is hidden beneath Earth. Of course, too much cannot be revealed, otherwise the River of Oblivion will launch another large-scale memory cleansing.

After the last appearance of the River of Oblivion, even Leo almost lost part of his memory. This gift, given to the ancient civilization by the visitors, had long been corrupted and become a thorny problem.

However, the polluted River of Oblivion is still playing its role. Leo only recently discovered this, probably because he was also deeply involved with the Ultimate Darkness, and it seems that not many people remember his full name anymore.

Even the girls in the family would subconsciously overlook his surname, except for Renlong, Jeton, and Galatron, who remembered it very clearly.

So, Galatrom said she had some things to prepare, and now she's back at the Jupiter base. I wonder what she's preparing.

"Since last month, the Earth has been undergoing frequent anomalies, and only today have we finally understood what state the Earth is in."

Upon hearing this voice, Captain Zhao of the Tenglong team turned around and saluted Director Zejing. Leo, on the other hand, was quite casual, thinking that the director was probably the first person in the world to know these things.

"It's been a long time, Director."

"It's been seven or eight years, hasn't it? How is your father? I still remember when I went to Asia last time, he complained to me that you all thought he was old and useless."

"We wouldn't dare, but we can't just watch him go and give you a sponsorship to liven things up."

At this point, the captain of the Tenglong team also had a headache. Not to mention his own father, his uncles and elders had the same idea. When Director Sawai visited the Asian branch last time, they even said they wanted to show off their strength.

"So you two knew each other all along?"

“During the time when Golza appeared, the whole world was in a state of panic, but the Asian branch was the only one that recovered in the shortest time, so I made a special trip there in the hope of learning more about them.”

Leo hadn't really heard about this, but the Asian branch was indeed recognized throughout TPC as having the strongest fighting power and fighting will, which had a significant impact on the later TPC.

"This mission is entrusted to you." Director Sawai looked at Leo. "Remember to come back safely."

"Can we have a celebration banquet when we get back?"

After Leo finished speaking half-jokingly, seeing that Director Sawai's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were filled with concern and worry, he raised his hand in a salute and said, "I understand."

For the rest of the time, Director Yi Lingqi did nothing. He just watched as Grandpa Ye Hu and others modified the Snow White in the armory. The rest of the ESCG staff were either resting or thinking about something.

Director Yoshioka quickly came over, exchanged a glance with Director Sawai, and asked, "Do you think he can come back?"

“You and I both know his identity, there’s no doubt about that,” Director Sawai said, but there was still some emotion in his voice. “But how could we not be worried?”

After all, they were the first to know what Delacion's regulatory system was, and they also knew what dangers Earth faced.

People always question whether they have given Leo too much power, but what they gave Leo first was a responsibility that was heavy enough to crush anyone.

"It's so similar..." Looking at the Snow White being prepared in front of him, Director Yoshioka felt a little emotional. "I remember the last time was ten years ago, when we saw off that group of young people from here."

At that time, Golza had just appeared. The group of young people used the hastily modified Flying Swallow No. 1 with the most ordinary weapons. They wrote their wills and waved goodbye, carrying the belief of sacrificing their lives for righteousness, and for the first time resisted the malice from the darkness.

Among that group of people were the son and daughter of Director Yoshioka and Director Sawai, as well as Grandma Asami's only son, Leo's sworn brother Asami Kawa, whom he had never met. They remained forever under that blue sky.

"This time, it will definitely be different."

Looking at the busy crowd, Director Sawai said this more like he was comforting himself.

On the other side, Leo, who had found a viewing platform to rest, leaned on the railing, looking at the shimmering sea, and pondered whether he could find any breakthrough.

"Hey boss, want some fries?" The familiar voice made Leo peek out and see Magabassa clinging to the pillar below, a bag of fries in his hand and mouth.

Leo tried to understand Magabasa's logic, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up. He probably would never be able to understand what was going on in that silly bird's head.

"Heave-ho." Magabasa used a little strength to flip over and land next to Leo, handing him the fries as if to ask for credit, "Have some, boss, they're still warm."

"Where did you buy this? I remember you didn't seem to like this stuff?" Leo opened his mouth to take a bite, then thought for a moment and realized it was missing some ketchup.

"I encountered a seagull on the way here and snatched it from its beak. Don't worry, it hasn't eaten it yet."

Magabasa stood smugly with his hands on his hips. Leo pondered for a moment and realized that this guy really enjoyed bullying any long-winged bird that couldn't beat him.

"Why aren't you bullying Melba today?" Leo took out a can of cola. He kept a Dark Emperor at home, and he didn't know how many snacks and other things he kept in his fighting device.

Leo's words only made things worse, as Magabasa became even more frustrated, "I can't find it!"

"Can't we find Melba?"

"Yeah, hey boss, you can't possibly confirm every monster like this. You probably don't know, but ever since the Lightning Man moved away, no monster can live well in that part of Australia."

Magabasa leaned against Leo, counting on his fingers as he complained, "Not to mention the Americas, the Kirielod people bully Melba even more than I do, but they just got beaten up by a passing Sfiagollan."

"Then, now that human weapons have been fully upgraded, I happened to run into a Melba this morning, but before I could do anything, I was shot dead by a passing defense team."

Magabasa's words left Leo speechless. The Kirieloids were truly relentlessly fighting for their faith, but they were also incredibly unlucky to get beaten up by a passing Sphiagorzan.

Has human combat power become this outrageous? Melba... well, it's not surprising that someone could defeat Melba. But no wonder I haven't seen any Melba lately; apparently, we no longer need someone of Leo's level to deal with them.

"You mean Sphiagorzan?" Leo was more interested in that.

“Yes.” Magabasa nodded quickly. “Sfiagolzan, and it looks like it absorbed volcanic energy, but it has already been caught by Sister Galatron.”

Chaosfia has been quite active lately, but hasn't made much of a splash. It mainly just finds monsters in various places to erode and assimilate them, but doesn't take them away.

This seems to be some kind of experiment. All Leo knows about Chaosphia is that Ultraman Dyna and Ultraman Deka are currently holding them back and fighting them. This was something that Kazuya Narimiya only remembered and told Leo after Musashi mentioned it.

But Leo couldn't believe that two Ultramen could hold off the entire Chaos Fairy, otherwise what would he have to fear? So there must be something else going on behind this.

However, Leo certainly couldn't think about these things right now. He didn't even know where Chaossfia was, otherwise he would have just attacked to eliminate any future troubles.

"Boss, boss~" Magabasa waved his hand in front of Leo, "You've been getting distracted a lot lately. Didn't you get enough rest last night? Did the Dark Spark take you for several hours?"

"Magabasa's mouth!" Leo covered his face, thinking, "It's one thing now, but if the ancient times had this kind of personality, how did she survive?"

"Is it possible that they can hear what we're saying?" Leo pointed to the fighting device in his pocket. Magabassa thought for a moment, then slapped his forehead.

"Oh no, I was just thinking of saying 'I love you' before they could hear me and then getting ahead of them."

The plan had already failed before it was even implemented. Magabassa ate his fries, thinking that it was a good thing Renlong wasn't inside the fighting device, or what he should do.

But Leo didn't miss his little scheme. "Renlong knows everything that happens to me."

"...How terrifying! Was Sister Renlong's desire for control really this strong?" Magabasa was truly shocked. You must know that Renlong, as the daughter of the earth, was extremely aloof and powerful 30 million years ago.

"Hiss... So it's true that being single for thirty million years without anyone wanting you has made you mentally unstable?"

Magabasa finished speaking subconsciously, then suddenly remembered what Leo had just said. His face turned pale, and seeing Leo's sympathetic look, he broke out in a cold sweat. "Boss, why don't I go with you?"

"It's alright, you won't die." Leo patted Magabassa on the shoulder, then suddenly sensed something, turned around, and looked at Dr. Nezu who had come out.

"Vice Captain Leo, all the modifications are complete, but there are still a few things I need to do... Oh, where did that bird come from? It's so beautiful."

Upon seeing Magabasa, who had instantly transformed into a bird and was standing on Leo's hand, Dr. Nezu seemed to recall something, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in his weary eyes.

"They just flew in and even brought me a bag of fries. Doctor, would you like some?"

"No, the doctor told me to eat less fast food these days."

"The doctor told you to get more rest, Doctor, but you didn't listen. I heard that you and Dr. Yamata have been inside the sarcophagus several times already."

Faced with Leo's teasing, Dr. Nezu scratched his head sheepishly. He really wanted to do more, not only to make up for the casualties caused by his mistakes back then, but also to help humanity find a place to survive in this turbulent era.

He was very grateful to Leo, who had given him this opportunity. He was also aware of Leo's identity, since Leo had specifically asked him for details when he first used the Zildar bomb.

However, Dr. Nezu was also worried about this mission: "Vice Captain Leo must come back alive."

"Don't make it sound like my mission is a one-way trip." Leo waved his hand. Putting everything else aside, he still had a way out; it was just a matter of whether he was willing to take it.

On another note, are Captain Gentoo and the others planning to crash their plane and transform this time?

Chapter 284 The Kirielod People Strive for Excellence

"It's almost time. Everyone board the plane and get ready to depart."

After glancing at the time, the ESCG members boarded their fighter jets and prepared to depart. Friendship II, along with several Friendship Project mass-produced missiles, were loaded onto the Snow White piloted by Leo.

Captain Stringman's fighter jets were also equipped with Friendship mass-produced missiles, all of which TPC had produced recently, as well as high-powered Zilda bombs.

Putting everything else aside, even Zetton wouldn't fare well with those bombs plastered in his face, but Leo didn't actually have high hopes for them.

Jugglus glanced at Kaito, who had silently retreated behind the others, and roughly knew what the guy wanted to do. Actually, Jugglus also wanted to go along, but he didn't have a reason.

Moreover, with the departure of the ESCG group, Earth's defense capabilities have been reduced by a third. Jugglus Juggler must stay here with the Armory, while the Dark Shadow Mage and Zagi are still secretly watching.

Although his position as captain seemed to serve no purpose other than giving Leo a break, Gento still needed to show his captain's spirit. He adjusted his helmet and said, "Let's go!"

Fujiwara Juri piloted the Hien-1 Kai, Leo piloted the Shirayuki, along with two Shin-Yao and one EXJ, a total of five fighter planes, rushed out one after another, heading towards the brilliant starry sky.

Suddenly, the starlight overhead converged, forming an arc that then transformed into a passageway. Two beams of light, one blue and one gold, flew in from different directions, transforming into the figures of Gauss and Max, and accompanied the group as they flew into it.

The Negative Universe, or more accurately, the Backside Universe, is the counterpart to the world where Leo and the others reside. This is Leo's first time traversing a universe, but halfway there, he sees a Gloca Bishop rapidly passing by them and heading towards Earth.

"Ignore it!" Leo's voice steadied Daigo and the others. "It's just one Gloca Bishop. Our mission is to destroy the monitoring system and prevent more Gloca Bishops from passing through!"

As he spoke, Leo's Snow White dropped three extradimensional bombs. These bombs were timed; if Leo did not input the command before the countdown ended, they would automatically detonate.

According to Kazunari Narimiya, there is only one passage between the real universe and the negative universe within a few dozen light-years. Even if the plan fails, there will be enough time on Earth. He had Galatron make extra preparations.

If the plan fails, Galaoguma will digitize and preserve all of humanity's data and take it to other universes to find a new home to live in. Leo had discussed this with Galatrom a long time ago.

A single Gloca Bishop is indeed no threat to Earth, especially since it crashed in the Americas.

The Kirieloids have been in a great mood lately. Although they've suffered setbacks several times, they've at least been doing good deeds and protecting many people. Many people who used to just watch for fun have started to look at them differently.

At least, after being beaten up by Sfia Golza today, netizens didn't move their ranking below Golza.

It was a strange feeling. The Kirielod people had never experienced such respect from non-believers before. Even today, when they were fighting Sfiagolzan, people were cheering them on.

It was an unexpected path, but... it felt pretty good. Most of my compatriots felt that there was nothing wrong with this approach. At least we wouldn't get beaten up by the Earth side. Since we couldn't beat them anyway, we might as well follow their rules.

Similarly, they can't just bully Melba in the future. People should have aspirations and ideals, and they should at least be able to consistently defeat Golza.

To this end, a group of Kirieloids gathered together and pondered for a long time, arduously training their abilities. They demonstrated their ability to strengthen themselves in the battle against King Magagrant.

The Kirieloids called that form the enhanced version. Although they were brutally beaten by the Earth Demon Beast, they gained new power after referencing the Maga Flame Demon Warrior, who for some reason never appeared again!

"Greater strength, faster speed, stronger defense, and sharper reflexes!" The Kirieloid, embodying Mitsuo Itabashi, burst into laughter. "It's decided! Let's name it Kirieloid Stage Three!"

Actually, the Kirieloids were already slightly stronger than Ultraman Tiga in their second stage, oh, of course, that was a month ago.

Even Daigo himself doesn't know how strong Tiga is right now. Leo was originally thinking of finding an opportunity to give Daigo a Spark Doll so that he could keep up with the current version and avoid getting beaten up later.

And what happened? This guy's aerial form is as fast as Zetton's teleportation, his powerful form is on par with S-rank Gaia, oh right, with Mother Earth providing Gaia with a constant supply of energy, and his powerful Zepelion is on par with Ultimate Arrow Storm.
