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

Page 207

This slightly hoarse yet reassuring voice was unlike anything I'd ever heard before. Who was it? Zoffy? But how did he find his way to me?

"I am Reibrando."

Hikari was so frightened that he sat up abruptly, instantly becoming fully alert. He then realized that he was surrounded by a group of terrifying monsters, and in front of him stood an alien he didn't recognize (the God Alien).

"Don't be nervous, Hikari. It's me, it's me, the Zetton from the Valley of Flames. You asked me a lot of questions before." Ojai quickly pressed down on Hikari's shoulder to prevent him from doing anything irrational.

Putting everything else aside, Hikari couldn't beat any one of them even if he risked his life.

The familiar voice made Hikari's heart skip a beat. He turned to look at Ozil, then realized something and placed his hand on his heart. "My... armor is gone?"

“Here it is.” Leo spread his hands, showing the Avenger Armor [Arbo Device] that he had taken into his palm. “The resentment of this armor can affect a person’s mind, so I’ve temporarily peeled it off from you.”

"However, the resentment of Planet Arbok is not strong, and it has no intention of harming you, so you should have been able to maintain a certain degree of self-identity all along."

If Hikari were like the Alien Empera, consumed by resentment and anger over the deaths of his entire planet, he would have long since sunk into darkness. In that case, Leo would have simply packed him up and tied him up, intending to take him back to the Land of Light later.

Leo returned the sealed Avenger Armor to Hikari, and a plasma spark appeared in his hand. Combined with Ozil's words, Hikari finally felt a little relieved.

Flash replenished Hikari's energy, and Leo briefly explained the situation to him, leaving Hikari stunned.

What? Belial has escaped from the cosmic prison and completely merged with Reiblood? Oh, he's dead.

What?! Juda's been resurrected! And even his brother Mold and sister Gina have been resurrected! Oh, they died too.

What? There's also an Absolut who traveled back from the future? Oh, it seems they're dead too.

Hikari listened, numb. No, who was this guy in front of him? Putting aside these powerful monsters, he actually managed to defeat Belial and Juda?!

"Speaking of which, Hikari, what are your plans? It might be difficult to go straight back to the Land of Light, but after some time, you can hitch a ride."

Although with Leo's energy supply, Hikari's injuries and energy have been basically resolved, the energy consumed on the way back to the Land of Light from Earth will be considerable, and they may encounter many dangerous opponents.

“I don’t know…” Hikari looked at the Avenger’s Armor in his hand, “I think I’ll stay. I’m not worthy to return to the Land of Light right now, but at least I can do something for these few days.”

He failed to protect Planet Arbok and was haunted by resentment, spending years chasing Bogaru throughout the universe. As an Ultraman, he was truly irresponsible, and even... injured Tregear.

“I also have an Ultraman companion named Tregear. Do you have any news about him?” Hikari suddenly remembered that there was such a thing.

“None of us have ever seen an Ultraman like this before, but I can help you find out.” Leo asked Galatron to send a message to the Land of Light, telling them about Hikari and Tregear.

However, Hikari will need to stay on Earth for a few days now. Fortunately, it's only a few days... well, just a few days.

"Galatron, tell Hikari about the rest. An emergency meeting is about to be held, and I need to go to participate in the deployment."

The TPC headquarters meeting was about to begin, and Barbossa couldn't handle the big scene. Leo took the contingency plan written by Galatrom, glanced at it, and then disappeared from Hikari's sight.

"What is he doing..."

"Ray Lu Yin Qi Yi Bei Ba Shi Shi Ao is the chief of the Earth Defense Force."

Galatrom's tone was calm, but it left Hikari completely bewildered. No, it's already strange that a Reiblood wouldn't be thinking about conquering Earth, so how did he become the person in charge of protecting Earth?

Seeing Hikari deep in thought, Galatron thought for a moment and decided it would be better to let him go and see for himself. The reason Hikari chose to stay was because he didn't really trust Leo and the others.

O'Jer might just be an imposter, and the glow of the Plasma Spark could also be a disguise. The main reason is that Reibrand's reputation is not very good, so suspicion is understandable.

"Why don't you try joining TPC?" Galahantron suddenly suggested.

On the other side of Earth, Mari Ida looked at the smug Galaxy Spark in front of her and said, "I told you not to go out so early. Leaving a surprise will make a deeper impression on men. Why couldn't you resist?"

"He has become stronger." Karakishil, or rather, Galaxy's voice, came directly to Ida Mari's ears. "It's just a pity that he only mastered a little bit of the other part."

"I'm really curious how his mother created him. He's a monster, but only in this way can the Dark Shadow Mage be forced to sit still."

Mari Ida twirled her pen with her fingers, her tone filled with joy and anticipation, "From the moment Maga Serpent was completely eradicated, everything that Delacion prophesied has been proven true."

"But that's not enough. Delacion's expectations go beyond that. If we can't break free from the so-called prophecy and create a truly unknown path of possibility, then we're no different from ants trapped in a circle."

Ida Mari's words silenced Ginga Spark. Of course, she knew what Ida Mari was talking about: someone they had always been wary of was about to make a move.

"Dark Goddess was already difficult to deal with, but this time Chaossfia has also gotten involved. If necessary, we should take action directly."

Now, with the breaking of one great seal after another, even though the sealed monsters have been destroyed, the corrupted Eternal Core, which has been awakened, will not fall into slumber again, and the ultimate darkness is becoming more and more active.

Is the Dark Shadow Mage planning to activate Ultimate Darkness to facilitate his own breakthrough from the seal? No, that alone is not enough; this guy must be seeking external help.

On the other side, looking at the seal buried deep within Mount Everest, the Dark Shadow Mage couldn't help but frown. "This is really troublesome."

Ida Mari's guess was correct. The Dark Shadow Mage did not expect to break the seal on his true form by relying on the fully awakened Ultimate Darkness after all seven other great seals were broken.

The seal, jointly set up by four legendary beings, firmly locks the Dark Shadow Mage's true form. Even if the ultimate darkness spreads throughout the entire universe, the Dark Shadow Mage will not be able to escape.

Therefore, he still needed someone's help, so the Dark Shadow Mage planned the fusion of Chaosphia and Dark Gordis to cover up his true purpose.

He simply couldn't wait any longer. The Knicks' growth rate was terrifyingly fast; even Tartarus and his team had been completely wiped out. Ordinary enemies were no match for the Knicks.

Ordinary methods are no longer enough to deal with that guy. In order to eliminate this hidden danger and also to break the seal as soon as possible, he has to take action.

In an instant, the Dark Shadow Mage's gaze extended far beyond the boundaries of time and space, taking in countless universes.

He could have combined several universes to obtain unprecedented, legendary power, but it was interrupted by an accident. This time, it just so happens to be an opportunity.

"...Okay, I've decided on this universe."

The Dark Shadow Mage chuckled sinisterly. The matter of Dark Gordis was enough to keep Leo and the others busy. Even if they could guess that he had a trick up his sleeve, so what? In the end, how many of them could actually stop him?

The Dark Shadow Mage turned around and looked at Tartarus, whose eyes were dark and lifeless, standing behind him. When he rushed over, Tartarus had almost died at Leo's hands, but now he was just a puppet of his.

His entire being split in two, one red and one black. The black Shadow Mage looked at his red counterpart and said, "I'm leaving it to you."

The red clone nodded and then entered Tartarus's body. Tartarus's eyes lit up instantly, and he turned around, opened a spacetime portal, and left.

"Then let's find them something to do."

The Dark Shadow Mage disappeared from the spot. He was going to find Zaki to discuss cooperation. After repeated verification, he was now certain that Nix's identity was Yamaoka Hajime from the TPC Scientific Research Department.

Because when Nix was fighting in the Monster Graveyard, Yamaoka Kazuhito mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind a clumsy puppet that couldn't escape the Dark Shadow Mage's notice.

As for Zagi's identity, the Dark Shadow Mage also made a guess: it was Leo, the vice-captain of ESCG. As the saying goes, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is. Only in this way can people not associate Leo and Zagi together.

In fact, even the Dark Shadow Mage himself wasn't sure. It wasn't that he hadn't met the vice-captain of ESCG; the other party had a very bright inner self. But how would he know if he didn't try?

Chapter 327 Intelligence: The Dark Shadow Mage

"According to intelligence provided by the Knicks, there may be some kind of fusion between Dark Goddess and Chaosfia, which will make the enemy exceptionally difficult to deal with."

"Moreover, based on previous speculations, if Dark Goddess breaks the seal set by Ultraman, it could very well cause a large-scale disaster."

Dr. Otomo reported on his various speculations, all of which were conclusions drawn from past data and were already known to everyone.

"In addition, we also have to consider Chaossphia's actions. After each battle, Sphia becomes stronger. This time, the wormhole reaction has already caused fluctuations all over the world."

This emergency meeting was convened not only because of the inherent dangers of Yellowstone volcano, but also because wormhole fluctuations in Chaosfia had been observed in various locations.

This means that the enemy will launch an unprecedentedly powerful offensive, perhaps because the speed of development on Earth and the growth rate of Leo and others have exceeded Chaosphia's expectations, and they believe that it will be very dangerous if things continue like this.

"Sigh, didn't we just finish fighting Dark Saigoku and Dark Lugoset a few days ago? Why is this happening again today? Will Grimd and Gatanothor cause trouble again in a few days?"

Director Yoshioka's words reflected what everyone was thinking: Earth is truly suffering. No one knows how so many monsters have inexplicably appeared, each one more powerful than the last, and they even appear every other day.

"In any case, the enemy's invasion is a foreseeable fact. At present, there are some additional discoveries regarding the Sphia wormholes in various places."

Director Sawai looked at Dr. Tango, who quickly stood up. Dr. Tango had never expected to be able to participate in a meeting of this caliber and was a little nervous, but fortunately, he received an encouraging look from Leo.

"Based on our findings, the fluctuation range of the Sphia wormhole exhibits a specific trend. Upon comparison, the Asian portion perfectly matches the layout of the so-called 'dragon vein'."

"If our conclusions based on the research data are correct, then these so-called dragon veins are actually like the arteries of the earth, and the earth's energy flows through the dragon veins that are spread all over the world."

According to Dr. Dango, Earth itself has always possessed a powerful energy field, which restricts the wormhole expansion of Softia and the Destruction Bringer. Softia's targeting of the Dragon Vein clearly indicates its intention to launch a full-scale attack.

Meanwhile, Earth has also noticed that Chaos Sphia has undergone many changes in the course of battles, perhaps indicating that the Chaos virus and the Sphia life form have achieved perfect assimilation and fusion.

After discussions among all parties, Director Sawai was responsible for issuing the final order, his voice still carrying the same unwavering conviction as always.

"We need countermeasures against the enemy's wormholes. Dr. Dango, this is your responsibility. Vice Captain Leo, you are in charge of mobilizing and deploying all defense forces worldwide. In addition, all other departments..."

Leo noticed that the usually kind old man had many more gray hairs than last month. Although many people were impressed by Leo's ability to get things done since he joined TPC, the mainstay of TPC was still Director Sawai.

While Leo and his team were overwhelmed by the successive battles, it was Director Sawai and representatives from all sides who provided support from behind.

Staff allocation, resource distribution, and most importantly, maintaining morale—all of these were the responsibility of Director Sawai. To be honest, this job was very difficult.

Too much has happened in the past month, too many enemies have appeared, and the Earth has changed too quickly. Many people are feeling lost again, but fortunately, Director Sawai's efforts have been very effective.

He personally visited the site multiple times to inspect and comfort people, and handled the follow-up matters impeccably, stabilizing the most crucial aspect: people's hearts. But this old man is still human, not to mention that he had been busy for ten years before.

"If no one has any further comments, then let's adjourn the meeting here today."

The room fell silent, not because everyone was overwhelmed by the pressure, but because everyone was thinking about their own tasks. Then, one by one, they left the conference projector. Leo and the others also stood up, ready to go about their own business.

"Captain Leo." Staff Officer Gondo rushed to Leo's side as soon as he left the conference room. "Is ESCG still leading the charge in this combat mission?"

“That’s right. Captain Stringman and his men have already replenished their forces at the temporary base of the American branch and are ready to move at any time. We’ll leave the defense of headquarters to you.”

Leo walked and talked, glancing at the message from Galatron, and then gave Dr. Dango another task.

Leo is now very fortunate that he has a body sculpted by ultimate darkness and a spirit of Reiblood. He does not feel tired, either mentally or physically, and can handle this tedious work.

"Is there anything you want to ask?" Leo stopped in his tracks. It was too easy to guess what Gondo was thinking. The fact that he had come to him at this critical juncture meant that there must be a problem.

Kondo scratched his head. He knew he wasn't very smart and was worried that his questions were too stupid and would affect his image in Leo's eyes. But there were some things that only the person in front of him could answer.

"Captain Leo, why do you think Ultraman works so hard to protect us humans?"

After asking the question, Gondo had some doubts. Although there had been many opinions about this issue, to be honest, people had not actually had any real communication with Ultraman so far.

Gondo is willing to believe in the Ultramen's intentions, but he doesn't understand where these intentions come from. Humans are willing to risk their lives for the Earth, but if the Ultramen wanted to, they could have avoided these things.

Regardless of what others say, Gondo is single-minded; he wants to get an answer from his own mouth. Leo has fought alongside Ultraman many times, so he must know.

"Why don't you ask Ultraman about this?" Leo's answer surprised Gondo, but upon closer inspection, it made sense, since Ultraman had demonstrated on more than one occasion that he could understand human speech.

“Gondo, just go and ask. Actually, I hope you do that too. You can represent humanity, which is still in a state of confusion, to get the answer. I think this will definitely bring about new changes.”

Leo left behind this cryptic remark and disappeared from Gondo's sight, leaving him to ponder alone.

(Why don't you just ask yourself?)

Empera's voice echoed in Leo's mind. She had already woken up, but she hadn't expected that while she was asleep, Leo was still in the Monster Graveyard, and when she woke up, everyone was in a meeting. This time gap really didn't allow for a moment's rest.

“I can’t do it. After all, I’m a little different from ordinary humans. Although Gondo can’t see things clearly in some ways, he’s really suited to do this.”

Leo had nothing to say about this. At first, the appearance of Ultraman gave the whole Earth hope, but later everyone began to feel uncertain. Even Leo himself felt uncertain, so how could he blame others for wavering?

Moreover, in the eyes of Leo, Renlong, and others, this situation is a good thing. People should not worship Ultraman as a savior or a god, otherwise the tragedy of 30 million years ago will only be repeated.

(You really never seem to have a moment to rest!)

Emperor couldn't help but say that even Father of Ultra had previously complained that she, a sinner, had found the right place to atone for her sins with Leo, as she was always fighting and never had a moment to rest.

"There's nothing I can do, even though I'm protecting this Earth." Leo helplessly spread his hands. It's fate to be stuck with this Earth, and his first wife is even a ley line dragon.

In response to the attack by Sphia, Earth devised a series of strategies. First, each department determined the location of the Sphia wormhole, and once the plan was launched, the Sphia barrier device was used to interfere with the formation of the wormhole.

Meanwhile, in the Americas, a Meta-Field generator has been set up, preparing to drag Dark Gordis directly into an alternate dimension to fight after he breaks the seal, thus preventing the disaster from spreading globally.

Of course, this means that both the ESCG and the White Eagles of the Americas branch will be trapped in the alternate dimension, fighting Dark Gordis to the last moment until one of them is completely dead.

If Dark Gordis dies, all will be well, but if ESCG and the White Eagles are wiped out, the Meta Realm Generator will explode simultaneously, throwing Dark Gordis into the spacetime turbulence, at least buying humanity some time.

This is a last resort. No matter how fast Earth develops, it's impossible to reach a level where it can defeat the Great Sealed Monster, especially Dark Gordis.

Half an hour after Galatron gave Leo her research report, Leo finally understood the terrifying nature of Dark Gordis.

According to Galatron's research on the previous Godis Gadi, the Dark Godis cells are sensitive to external stimuli and will undergo rapid and targeted changes.

If you prick it with a needle, it will become soft and tough after a while. If you burn it, it will quickly become heat-resistant and non-flammable. Even when Galatrom let Ako use the Dimensional Destruction Ray, it was quickly immune by the Gordis cells.

Does this look familiar? That's right, Demaga also has this characteristic. In fact, Galatrox speculated that Demaga's ability to ignore enemy attacks the more he fights was obtained from Gordis.

As the origin of the volcano, Gordis undoubtedly possesses a more powerful adaptive force than Dimaga. Blaze likely discovered this back then, which is why he had no choice but to suppress it within the volcano.

In this respect, Dark Gordis has the most terrifying growth potential among all the monsters in the Great Seal. If it cannot be killed completely in the first instance, it is almost impossible to defeat it completely.

Even if all the power in the universe were gathered together, this would not change.

If it weren't for Chaosphia's interference, Leo wouldn't be afraid of these things. After all, as an Ultimate Dark being, he could ignore Dark Gordis's characteristic, which was why Dark Gordis feared him.

But now that the two sides have begun to merge and devour each other... it's really hard to say. Leo has a feeling that in the end, a deadly guy will definitely emerge.

“Captain Stringman is also very anxious.” Leo looked at the message Stringman sent asking about the battle plan and knew that he was definitely worried about the situation in Falden, but it was indeed not advisable to act rashly at the moment.

"I'm fine." Luciel crossed her arms and said with a displeased look, "The level of the Dark Spark plus the power of Ultimate Darkness should take precedence over the special characteristics of Gordis in terms of level."

“I’ve observed that several times Zetton directly applied the power of ultimate darkness to his fist, and he still managed to beat Dimaga to a pulp.”

Luciel was fully confident in her own abilities, but she was somewhat annoyed that Galaxy Spark had made the first move before she even had a chance to do anything to Leo.
