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

“I’ve discussed this with Vice Captain Leo,” Dr. Nezu said, burying himself in his work. His eyesight was already failing, and he had to get very close to see anything clearly.

It wasn't like this when he woke up this morning. It was as if old age and death were standing right behind him, Dr. Nezu thought. But his mind felt lighter than ever before, as if he had returned to his youth.

Back then, he was full of vigor and focused on the future. He could even easily calculate a series of complex formulas. He can still do it now!

Seeing that Dr. Nezu's movements were getting faster and faster, Dr. Yao felt that something was wrong, but he still took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to him, "This is for you."

"What is this?" Dr. Nezu looked at the USB drive with a puzzled expression. Dr. Yao placed it in his hand. "I found that I couldn't handle the part that you asked me to calculate on my own, so I entrusted it to some seniors in the Asian branch."

"Although they are old, they handled these matters quickly and asked me to tell you that it is not terrible for a person to make mistakes in the past, but the most important thing is to be able to take responsibility for one's actions."

Dr. Nezu looked at the USB drive in his hand, nodded firmly, then plugged it into the computer to preview it. He then had a look of sudden realization, and many things he didn't understand before suddenly became clear.

Seeing Dr. Nezu busy at work, Dr. Yao asked instinctively, "By the way, Nezu, how did you create Zildar gas?"

“It’s a misunderstanding.” Dr. Nezu shook his head. “I didn’t create anything. It was just a very accidental discovery near the volcano in Xingyuan City…”

At this point, Dr. Nezu suddenly realized something, and the previously vague memories in his mind suddenly became clear.

Yes, yes, back then he went to investigate volcanoes and accidentally discovered that small amount of azure liquid in a volcanic cave in Xingyuan City. At that time, he inexplicably took that small amount of liquid away, and then studied it to achieve improvement and replication...

Why, why did it take him so long to remember? Nezu's mind exploded. He suddenly realized that what happened back then might be more complicated than he had imagined. "Dr. Yao!"

"I know! I'll call Leo right now!"

Dr. Yao immediately realized what was happening and took out his communicator to contact Leo. There was a problem with the Zildar gas, or more accurately, there was a problem with the appearance of the Zildar gas!

Dr. Nezu gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and chose to continue his research. Whatever was influencing his consciousness and causing him to develop Zelda gas, his only task now was to find a way to destroy it.

Seeing Dr. Nezu engrossed in his research, Alaya, who had been hiding in the shadows, quietly disappeared and arrived at the outskirts of the Geo base. Then, somewhat surprised, she turned to look at the white-haired figure and asked, "Yuzare, what are you doing here?"

"They thought the time capsule was taking up too much space at headquarters, so they moved it to this research center," You Lian said, looking annoyed. "But I didn't expect to see you here. By the way, what are you doing here?"

"Because of Ren's request, I came specifically to check on this old man's condition, but I didn't expect to make some unexpected discoveries." Alaya spread his hands, looking helpless.

"Sigh, I really didn't expect that the so-called Zildar gas was actually this thing. It's a liquid formed by the liquefaction of the earth's vast energy, in other words, a byproduct of the Eternal Core... That old man actually managed to mass-produce this stuff."

Even though he represented the collective will of humanity, Alaya was still taken aback. To be honest, Dr. Nezu's ability to mass-produce Zildar gas to this extent was unprecedented in the ancient civilizations, not to mention Dr. Yamata and Daniel.

"But now it seems that someone is deliberately guiding this, trying to take advantage of this power." You Lian also heard everything at the time. Although she did not show herself, she often came out to see how human civilization was developing.

Yu Lian now understands that Leo is one of their own. After all, if Leo were an enemy, Earth would be doomed. Besides, the humans of this era are too outrageous; their physical abilities and weaponry are even more formidable than those of the ancient times.

Aside from not being able to use telekinesis or channel their internal energy into attacks, modern civilizations are basically able to easily defeat the ancient civilizations.

"The blood flowing through the earth's veins is the mother's blood. The mother wouldn't mind using her blood to nourish her children, but anyone who dares to defile this intention of the mother must not be let off!"

Alaya's gaze was exceptionally sharp. Youlian thought for a moment, "What do you plan to do?"

"Hmph, that's easy." Alaya patted his chest. "I'll go find Renlong's lover right now, appeal to his emotions and reason with him, and get Leo to deal with that guy!"

"So it's about calling in reinforcements." You Lian couldn't help but complain. Thirty million years have passed, and this guy seems to have hardly changed compared to back then. Alaya spread his hands, "There's no way around it. I can't go in myself. Using the Galactic Spark directly would be too costly."

“That’s true, but I really didn’t expect that Renlong would choose to give him all the Dark Sparks… The variable that Delacion mentioned is truly unbelievable, it’s only been a little over a month.”

"Our time was already running out."

Alaya sighed. If Leo had come ten years earlier, humanity wouldn't have been ready. Now is actually the best time and the only chance. Yu Lian understood.

"If Gatanothor's seal has already been broken, and R'lyeh's seal won't hold for much longer, then if the three of them were to escape..."

"What are they doing out here?" Alaya looked at Yu Lian. "With the level of those three, even if they were tied together, they wouldn't be enough to beat up Ultraman Tiga now. Coming out here is no different from courting death."

Yu Lian pondered for a moment, and realized that even if those three guys were all together, they wouldn't be a match for Daigo now. Even if he obtained a portion of the Ultimate Darkness to strengthen himself, the strongest Camilla would at most be on par with the Dark Emperor.

With this level of skill, what can you do after being born? Should you reincarnate as soon as possible?

Sigh, the main problem is that many of Yuzare's ideas are still stuck in the past. Camilla and the others were indeed powerful back then, but now tens of millions of years have passed since then, and those three are really no match for her.

"Pfft." Youlian suddenly laughed. Alaya glanced at her curiously, wondering if something was wrong with her. Youlian realized that her laughter was too strange and quickly waved her hand to explain.

"It's nothing. I'm just really looking forward to seeing what kind of expressions Camilla and the others will have after they recover."

Yu Lian was also harboring a lot of resentment. Camilla and the others had caused quite a bit of trouble back then, and the Dark War could even be said to be related to Camilla and the others. Tiga was really giving them face by only sealing them away back then.

"Now that you mention it, I'm starting to look forward to it too. Oh well, I'd better go find Leo first."

Alaya vanished from the spot. Youlian's smile faded as she looked up at the sky, deeply moved. "Back then, we were so much worse than humans are now. I never imagined that a single person could possess such radiance... Is this the kind of light that Earth would want to see?"

Meanwhile, Leo, who had just rushed away from the press conference, looked at Alaya, who was clinging to his leg, with a dark expression. "Is this what you mean by appealing to emotions and reasoning with people?"

"There's no other way, I can't do it myself. Since Renlong and I are like sisters, brother-in-law, please help me out."

“I would have done it even without you telling me. I never imagined there were so many connections behind this. Since that’s the case, there’s no way I can let it go.”

Leo, his face grim, took out his communicator. "Galatron, Ayako, dig it out for me!"

Even if we have to dig three thousand miles into the ground today, we must find that ignorant god of the underworld and make him into a spark puppet. This matter is not over until he is turned into a spark puppet.

Chapter 364 The Vanished City

Beneath the volcano in Xingyuan City, Yako ate her lunch while shouting, "Go, Ariponta! Dig as low as you can! The boss said if we do a good job this time, we'll have plenty of blood plasma, and it won't be artificial blood plasma!"

Upon hearing that there would be plenty of food, Aliponta's digging speed increased considerably. His mind was filled with nothing but rice. Although he hadn't suffered any mistreatment following the new boss, he couldn't always eat pre-made meals. Today, he was finally going to have something good to eat.

Although Ako and Galatron aren't exactly heartless or unscrupulous bosses, Aliponta's main food is type O blood, and the demand is high. So, they usually have to eat artificial blood plasma developed by Galatron. It tastes alright, but it just doesn't feel quite right.

"But then again, something's really wrong with this place. There's such a strong residual energy, but we haven't been able to detect the energy source."

Yako bit her chopsticks. Judging from the reaction transmitted by the instrument, there was indeed a very powerful energy underground in this volcano, which should be the earth vein that Renlong had been talking about.

The ancient Dark War of that year shattered what was originally a single continent into fragments, causing tectonic shifts and ruptured ley lines. It was only through Renlong's subsequent efforts to restore it that the ley lines here were broken back then.

"Zelda gas is actually a product of the massive energy of the Earth accumulating into gas and then liquefying. And this is only a small part of it."

Yako shook her head. This news did sound unbelievable. If what Renlong said was true, and even the original Zilda gas sample obtained by Dr. Nezu was just energy residue from the Eternal Core, then the energy of the Eternal Core itself must be even more astonishing.

Furthermore, the negative emotions of the ancient civilization and the ancient giants polluted the energy, making it even more powerful and rampant. It's no wonder that this crisis has affected several universes.

"If that's the case, then we really can't let that Dark Shadow Mage break the seal. Otherwise, needless to say, at our level, even Leo might not be able to..."

The Dark Shadow Mage's true form is a red sphere residing within the Eternal Core. Gatanothor and Grimd stole the largest share of Ultimate Darkness, and even excluding the portion from the River of Oblivion, he still possesses at least one-third of the Eternal Core.

As for the other seals... according to a pessimistic analysis, for example, the ultimate darkness obtained by Saigoku and Maga Orochi was leaked when Gatanothor and the others were fighting over it. Leo absorbed three great seals, which only just gave him the qualifications to fight against Gatanothor and the others.

"The local fighting force seems to have become a bit too inflated." Ako couldn't help but complain when she thought about it. "How did Tiga and the others manage to hold out for so long and still get sealed away by Gatanothor and the others?"

"Back then, it was a miracle, a miracle caused by the human heart." Renlong happened to appear next to Yazi, answered her question, and handed her a bottle of chili sauce.

Renlong came here specifically to check out the situation. She had never paid attention to this place before, since the earth veins did not flow directly through it, and the so-called god of the underworld had not caused any suspicious disturbances.

“A miracle… It seems like it happened once before I arrived. I’m not entirely sure what happened, but since they already learned their lesson, the Shadow Mage and his group will definitely be on guard.”

Given the Dark Shadow Mage's wicked nature, if it weren't for Leo, his natural nemesis, he would have turned the Earth upside down long ago. Renlong also strongly agrees with Yazi's statement. The Dark Shadow Mage has probably already realized the group strategy here and will probably take some measures to counter it.

If there's a targeted attack, that's fine, but the worst-case scenario is that the Dark Shadow Mage makes no such move. This means that guy must have a more dangerous conspiracy waiting for everyone behind the scenes. This god of the underworld had better be reasonably strong, otherwise people will have to wonder if the battle that follows will be very dangerous.

"How's the digging going?"

"It's alright. Aliponta is quite fast. Big sister, why did you come in person? Where are Jetton and the others?" Yako finished her lunch with chili sauce and rubbed her hands together. She thought Jetton would come to check on things, just to be on the safe side.

“Jet, Zetton and Ojai seem to be doing some kind of training lately, and Ereshkigal is also trying to adapt to the Spark Doll of Dark Ultra Killer, so I came here in person.”

Everyone is training to get stronger, that's great, I'm so envious. Ako has to put in a lot of effort just to reach the level of a regular EX Zetton. The strongest Spark Doll she has is only Bishop Gloca, but that's what happens when she's just a scientist.

"So, how's the investigation into that god of the underworld going?" Although she didn't think the other party was that strong, since it involved Zildar gas, Ako felt it was better to pay more attention.

"Galatron did some research and found some records in the local legends of Xingyuan City. Although the information was limited, it is accurate to say that the monster sealed underground should be known as the Underworld General Hernarak."

Because the records are so ancient and rely entirely on word of mouth among the locals, apart from the name, there is no information about Hernarak that can be found. Renlong stood here and sensed the area below. He could indeed feel a life force, but he still felt that things were not so simple.

"Just don't call him Herracdi." Ako waved her hand nonchalantly. It felt so good to have someone to rely on; Leo was just too reliable. "Speaking of which, big sister, don't you sense anything's wrong?"

As the giant ant super beast Aliponta excavated, the energy reaction below became very obvious. Yako rubbed her hands together, her expression gradually becoming excited.

“Hmm, the energy reaction down here… you should be more familiar with it.” Renlong looked at Yako. As a Yapool from another dimension, this girl was as familiar with this energy as she was with her own home.

"It's extradimensional spacetime energy!" Ako rubbed her hands together. "Looks like what's down there is more interesting than we thought. Ariponta, keep digging! Extra treat tonight... oh well, I'll join in!"

Taking out MagaGrand King's Spark Doll, Ako transformed and began digging. As a Earth Demon Beast, MagaGrand King's digging speed was incredibly fast, leaving Ariponta stunned.

Yako quickly dug downwards, ignoring the scorching lava, and soon reached her destination: a deep cavity. Looking up, she saw a dark purple crack in front of her. She stared intently into it, her brows furrowed.

"What is that...a city?"

Behind the purple fissure lay an ancient city. Renlong, perched on King Magagrant's shoulder, gazed upon it. The familiar architecture made her instinctively exclaim, "Egrant!?"

Chapter 365 Sila's Stubbornness

"This is Sky Base, Vice Captain Leo. Sila has appeared, and as you predicted, she's heading straight for Geo Base."

The voice of the Stone Chamber Commander from the Sky Base snapped Leo out of his daze. He had actually been daydreaming, which was quite unusual, as he had been feeling rather sleepy lately.

"Team Lightning and Monster Island Special Operations Team, please go on standby. Geo Base, activate the defense system immediately. Dr. Otomo, is everything ready?"

Dr. Otomo nodded. "Of course, we're fully prepared. The latest restraint traps and tranquilizer darts will trap even the most powerful monsters. However... I can't guarantee anything, since this is the first test."

If it were any other monster, like Golzaelba, it wouldn't be so bad, but Sira could even force EX Pedanium Zetton back with a single fireball. This level of strength is beyond what a monster mutated simply by being affected by Zerda Gas should possess.

"It's alright, I'll intervene if necessary." Leo waved his hand, indicating to Dr. Otomo that he didn't need to worry.

After realizing that Sila's problem was not simply due to inhaling Zildar gas, and combining this with Empera's feelings, Leo vaguely guessed what was going on with Sila's inexplicably powerful strength.

Besides Sira, tens of thousands of people from two small towns were also involved in the Zelda leak explosion. Sira was mostly burdened by the resentment of these people, just as Empera was entangled by the resentment of an entire planet.

Of course, Sila's power is definitely not at the level of the Dark Emperor, but it will be a little more troublesome. However, he only has Dr. Otomo by his side, and Dr. Otomo and Dr. Dango are both his own people, so he doesn't really mind if the two of them know his identity.

It can only be said that Dr. Otomo and Dr. Tango are too pure as scientists. Otherwise, if they had used their brains a little, it wouldn't have been hard to guess Leo's identity. Neither Ultraman's information nor those monster cell fusions are things that can be obtained casually.

However, Dr. Otomo and Dr. Tango's reaction was: since he is the vice-captain Leo, it is normal for him to do whatever he wants.

"By the way, how's the monster you created yourself coming along?" Sila won't be here for a while, and since she had nothing else to do, the Ultimate Fighting Device had already tagged Neozales. From Leo's perception, Neozales' strength was comparable to Ojir's.

"Are you talking about Neozars? It's not mature enough yet. It simply sees me as its father and can't really understand what I mean. We need to think of another way, but it should be very strong in combat."

Dr. Otomo hasn't had a chance to test the combat power yet, but as the designer, he is very confident in his masterpiece. It's just that Neozales' intelligence problem is a bit troublesome, as he's being played around with by Gadgetzan.

"Don't worry about intelligence. I have a way to contact the Knicks and give Neozas enough intelligence."

"That's great!" Dr. Otomo rubbed his hands together. After observing and studying Little Gadi, he realized the importance of intelligence for a monster. He also realized that he didn't just regard monsters as mere tools. Neozars was a very important existence to him.

(I think this guy would be great as a Reonic?)

Ampera muttered to Leo in his mind, "To be honest, mass-producing Leonics is not a difficult task for Leo now."

Reiblood can spread his spirit and factors to create Reonics, and Reo can also extract a part of his energy to make others become Reonics, which will not have any impact on him.

As for the Monster Battle Device? Leo confiscated a lot of them on Planet Hama, gave a few to Galatron for research, and the rest are still with Leo. He can have Emperor modify them a bit so they can be used by Dr. Otomo.

“It’s here.” Leo looked up at Sila, which was flying rapidly through the sky. It was very fast and had a darker aura than it had in the morning. This time, Leo could clearly feel the resentment on Sila.

“It’s not just one person’s burden.” Now Leo was certain of his guess. The resentment on Sila was indeed very strong. It seemed that she had taken on the burden of all the victims from back then.

But the hatred and rage in Sira's eyes... if it truly hated the Zerda gas, then its eyes should have been filled with grief and anger. But those blue eyes held only sorrow and a strong desire, a desire for revenge.

"Does it know the truth about what happened back then?" Leo pondered for a moment, but still took out his communicator. "Action!"

The Lightning team received instructions and swooped down to launch two flashbangs that landed in front of Sila. The intense light made it cry out, but it still forced itself to keep its eyes open. Compared to the great fire that had devoured everything back then, this was nothing.

Seeing that the flashbangs were ineffective, Captain Kajio decisively changed tactics: "Launch the electromagnetic capture net!"

Three fighter jets simultaneously launched electromagnetic capture nets, blocking all of Sila's paths. Sila's vision was limited by the glare, and she only had time to open her mouth and spit out a fireball to break through one of the nets, but she was entangled in the wings by the remaining two capture nets and fell uncontrollably.

The massive body landed on the ground, kicking up a high cloud of dust. Xihuanla stood up and tore off the capture net on her body. Musashi, piloting the Flying Swallow No. 1, launched several devices that landed around her. "Monster restraint trap activated!"

The green light curtain trapped Sila inside. She reached out to break free, only to find that the restraint trap was very tough.

Leo pulled out his Hyper Gun; he'd almost forgotten he even had one, since dealing with aliens only required fists.

TPC's weapons all need to take into account different usage environments. Leo's Hyper gun alone has more than a dozen different types of ammunition. The tranquilizer bullet went straight through and hit Sila's body.

Leo mentally counted down, only to find that Sila had no reaction whatsoever. Even Dr. Otomo looked on in disbelief, "How could it have no effect at all?"

"Because what sustains her to this day is not vitality, but hatred. The resentment of the tens of thousands of people who died from the effects of the Zildar gas back then is all contained within it."

"Then what should we do?" Dr. Otomo looked at Sila, who was becoming anxious, constantly trying to break through the blockade, her claws...

(Her resentment did not completely control her, so she only had the power of fireballs; she herself was not strong enough to tear through the barrier, and she was unwilling to hurt anyone.)

Empera's analysis made Leo nod. It seemed that it was the right decision to specifically transfer Musashi over. Well, although he felt bad for the logistics department, Gauss was the only one who was really useful at the moment.

Musashi, piloting the Flying Swallow No. 1 in the sky, watched as Sira repeatedly crashed into the barrier, equally puzzled. He could see that Sira still retained some rationality, so why...?

Just as Musashi was pondering, Sila also made her choice. She opened her mouth and spat out a fireball, which pierced through the protective shield that imprisoned her. However, the fireball suddenly turned in mid-air and struck Musashi's wing.

"No way, this works?" Musashi looked surprised, but it was fine. He immediately took out the Sun and Moon Together, and said, "Gauss!"

Watching the pillar of light rise from the ground and Gauss stand tall on the earth, Leo suddenly felt that Ereshkigal was still the best. If Ereshkigal were by his side, he could directly use electromagnetic interference, and logistics would be cheaper.
