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

“My name is Kara Koshiel, and I’m Leo’s… um, future girlfriend?” Koshiel looked at Leo when she said the last part, as if asking for his opinion.

At that moment, Gento and the others looked at Leo with a strange expression. Their vice-captain was practically perfect, so was he going to have some kind of stain on his love life?

"Of course not." Leo covered his face and patted Galaxy Spark's head. "I've only met her a few times. We're friends, I guess. This girl likes to play pranks on people."

"Besides, I already have a girlfriend, and you've all met Ren. How can you still believe such things? It's really heartbreaking."

Hearing Leo say that, Daigo and the others were really... sigh, how could they suspect the vice-captain of having affairs? They were truly sorry.

Hearing Leo say that, Ke Xi'er, or rather Yinhe, also laughed playfully, "Hey, if Leo were single, I really wouldn't mind becoming your man, but you're not ready yet."

"..."

Leo chose to remain silent. After all, Galaxy Spark was clearly indicating to him that he wasn't good enough for now. Dark Spark was quite powerful, but did he need other powers to combine it with Galaxy Spark?

Chapter 378 Leo's Training Plan

It wasn't until today that Leo realized the relationship between the Dark Spark and the Galaxy Spark was so complex. As a legendary item from the Land of Light, the Dark Spark was already powerful, and it also had unpredictable growth potential.

However, in the beginning, the Dark Spark and the Galaxy Spark were one entity, collectively known as the Defareta Spark, or Chaos Spark. As a tool, it gradually developed its own identity over a long period of time and began to think.

"The initial questions that Chaos Spark pondered caused contradictions within itself, which led to its split, thus giving birth to Dark Spark and Galactic Spark."

Leo leaned against her, and Koshiel told him this little-known history: she and Lugiel disagreed on "what is life, and what is eternal life?" and the two sides were mutually opposed and restrained.

Luciel and Koshiel are beings born from the Dark Spark and the Galactic Spark respectively, but they are not the sparks themselves. According to the novel that the captain of the Asian branch gave to Leo, they should be called artifact spirits.

"Can you two sense each other's situation?" Leo asked while skewering grilled skewers. So, Dark Spark and Galaxy Spark are each other's other halves. Wow, even half-bodies have this ability.

Ke Xi'er shook her head slightly, "How could that be? If she knew what I was doing, she would definitely be furious and want to come out and fight me one-on-one right now."

Well, they really are each other's other half, they really understand each other's personalities. Leo dares not let Luciel know what's happening outside right now, otherwise it's hard to say what time he'll be able to sleep tonight.

"Can I ask you something? We haven't met that many times, have we? Why do you seem to like me so much?"

Leo couldn't understand why Ke Xi'er, who was born from the Galactic Spark, would have such a high level of affection for him. This wasn't some romance novel.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that every romance novel's world-building involves hundreds of new monsters appearing every day.

"Put aside the 'seems,' I really like you. Although she and I are opposing forces, we are essentially one. Apart from food, we have the same preferences in every aspect."

What do you mean by "food-related"?

"I like sweet tofu pudding, but she likes savory."

Oh, so that's all there is to it. No wonder there's a conflict. What would Chaos Spark like? Spicy food? Leo shook his head, deciding not to think about that question anymore. "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"I want to eat roasted chicken wings. By the way, Leo, shouldn't you eat more chives?" Ke Xi'er's eyes revealed a cunning that was completely different from the girls in Leo's family. She seemed to be a bit scheming.

"Good kids shouldn't talk about this kind of topic." Leo silently skewered the grilled skewers. He could only say that the body created by Ultimate Darkness was good in this respect. If it were his original body, he would definitely need a complete set of supplements.

Thinking about it, I wonder if Dark Spark and Ultimate Fighting Device were originally planning to do this. Tonight it's Ereshkigal's turn again. Sigh, just thinking about Ereshkigal's cycle gives Leo a headache. I'll probably have to take another day off tomorrow.

“I’m older than you, Leo. You’re only ten.” Ke Xi’er poked Leo’s arm. Actually, she would prefer Leo to call her Galaxy, but it didn’t sound like a human name. Ke Xi’er was a nice name too.

"So what I really meant was that I'm a child, and I wanted to tell you not to talk to me about this kind of thing."

Leo's words shut up Koshier. She genuinely hadn't expected that to work, but it seemed to make sense. Even Ida Mari, who was busy skewering potatoes, hadn't thought of that. Wait, so saying Leo was younger than her wasn't a joke after all? Oh my god…

This team building event had more participants than planned. Taking all factors into consideration, we ultimately chose a mountain forest in the suburbs, where everyone had their own things to do.

Kai and Jugglus were in charge of the barbecue, Leo led Koshier and Ida Marie to skewer the skewers, Mon and Saito Riko sketched for everyone to take pictures, and Daigo, Rena and Fujiwara Juri went to see if there were any edible mushrooms or anything like that nearby.

Captain Stringman took his son fishing. There are quite a lot of fish around here, but the weather has been getting colder lately, so playing in the water is a no-go.

Dunzi and Reiko were setting up the tent, and since Imu and Fujimiya had nothing to do, they took on the task of gathering firewood, while also preparing for any unexpected situations that might arise, such as...

"Huh?" The sudden tremor of the ground made everyone look up. They saw a large amount of dust and sand rising into the sky a few kilometers downstream from the valley, and a Garula roared out of it with a terrifying aura.

The sudden appearance of the monster made everyone at ESCG stand up in unison, then squat down again to continue doing what they were doing. Gento's wife and son were stunned for a moment. Should they find a place to hide now?

"It's alright, it's just a Garula." Gento smiled as he pulled a fish up. Daigo nodded in agreement, then looked at Fujiwara Juri, "How long do you think it will take?"

"Within thirty seconds, I think." Fujiwara Juri thought for a moment and felt that it wouldn't take any longer, but it was hard to say if it were Fujimiya. Of course, if the two of them happened to be in a bad mood, that would be another story.

Garula looked around and soon saw the group of people continuing their team-building barbecue. It didn't understand why these tiny humans weren't afraid of the commotion it had caused. Shouldn't they be running away in fear?

It seems that these humans have been terrified since no monsters have appeared for so many years. Well then, let's treat them as the first appetizer after our birth!

The moment that thought crossed Garula's mind, a red light appeared before its eyes, and then it felt a powerful force strike it, sending the entire monster flying uncontrollably.

"Wow... He appears in S-form right away." Mari Ida looked at Gaia and was particularly impressed. Being able to transform directly in S-form means that Gaia has grown a lot since he first regained his power.

"He didn't start with an SS attack, he held back." Leo didn't even look up, thinking to himself that if I couldn't defeat Garula in ten seconds, I'd find a way to give him extra training next time, the kind that doubles the intensity.

Actually, it's not just me; everyone else in ESCG is also having to train extra to prepare for potential future crises.

The enemy may lie low for now, but they will eventually return stronger than before. Conversely, if we keep facing only weak monsters like Garula, we might develop the illusion that we can defeat any enemy.

In fact, if you spend too much time in low-level matches, your skills might actually decline. Look at my dream, it almost killed Garuda. If you can't kill a Garuda with one punch, then you're not strong enough!

If I could hear what Leo was thinking in my dream, I would definitely feel wronged. Although Garula is just a roadside monster, it's not at the level of Golza. If it were Golza, I could easily defeat it, but Garula's body armor is still very valuable.

Being able to ignore the defenses of the Texas Beam and the Tiga Simplified Zeperion Beam from a month ago is quite impressive among monsters; Gaia 2's punch was not enough to kill it directly.

However, S-rank is not a problem at all. Just grab Garula and throw him five times in a row, then finish him off with a special move.

Leo watched the whole thing and then devised a strategy. Well, the goal is to make Gaia in his 2nd state easily defeat an enemy of King Silvergon's level. Everyone else should follow this standard!

It's decided. I'll have Galatrom create some powerful robots later and find a way to limit their transformation abilities. Then I'll train these guys properly. We can't let our guard down until the problems with the Dark Shadow Mage and Ultimate Darkness are completely resolved.

Galatron should be able to see what's going on here, right? Even if he can't get away, he's probably using satellites to monitor this area right now. Leo was thinking this when his communicator suddenly rang. He picked it up and answered, "What's wrong?"

"This is Delta Space Station. Vice Captain Leo, we have detected an anomalous object falling toward Earth at an extremely high speed. In addition, another spaceship is approaching Earth."

"Follow the procedure and ask the other party to state their purpose. If they do not respond within thirty seconds, you are allowed to attack directly. Where did the abnormal flying object crash?"

The staff at Delta Space Station hesitated for a moment, then said, "We speculate... it's near your home."

"My house?" Leo was somewhat surprised, while Ida Marie had already begun to make the sign of the cross and pray for the fallen object that she didn't know what it was.

This Earth is so big, you can't just fall anywhere else, you can fall right here. The safest place in the world right now is here, with seven Ultramen in a group of people. The most dangerous place in the world is Leo's house, where demons really run rampant.

Chapter 379 Gatan and Seele's Dilemma

"Please note that this is Earth Delta Space Station. Unknown spaceship, please state your identity and purpose. If you do not answer, we reserve the right to take any action."

It's really strange, Lina's father, Nanase Makoto, has been at the Delta Space Station for so many years, and this is the first time he's seen such an unfamiliar spaceship come to Earth so honestly without any disguise.

Chariga had given prior notice; the Stendelians were in a secret alliance; and other aliens who came to Earth were mostly there to invade. Of course, these past few days they've switched to infiltrating and observing, and incidentally buying various things.

"So Chariga is coming soon... Oh, they actually responded, video communication?"

Nanase Makoto connected the communication, and a man who looked very similar to a human, except for having blue eyeshadow, appeared on the screen. The man spoke directly in Earth language.

"I apologize for trespassing into your space. I am an investigator from the Dassian planet from the Baz Nebula. I was on a mission when the ferocious cosmic monster Gabishu, who was escorting my ship, escaped while my ship was in malfunction."

"I chased two monsters here. They have crashed to Earth. Please be careful. I hope you can allow me to come to Earth to handle Gabishu. Please be careful as well."

The Dayisians originally planned to go directly to Earth. If they hadn't known much about Earth a month ago, they would definitely have chosen to infiltrate Earth directly to carry out the mission. A month ago, everyone's impression of Earth was that it was primitive and backward, and they didn't know much about it at the time.

Rushing into communication with a backward civilization could easily lead to uncontrollable consequences—this is a universally acknowledged principle. For example, what if they don't trust you or even want to imprison you for research? Civilizations that haven't even ventured out of their own star systems are particularly prone to this.

But Earth is different. Times have changed. Now Earth is known throughout the universe for its incredible fighting power, but its people are generally well-behaved. Trespassing on someone else's territory could easily lead to misunderstandings or even hostility. And hostility towards Earth... that's not something an investigator can afford to take.

“Gabishu?” Nanase Makoto thought for a moment. Could this be some kind of powerful monster? But if it were really that strong, it wouldn’t need a spaceship to escort it.

"Yes, Gabishu is a very ferocious cosmic monster. They are cunning by nature, highly intelligent, and can disguise themselves to gain sympathy. They also know how to take hostages."

Upon hearing that it would take hostages, Commander Nanase immediately became serious. It was one thing to be good at fighting, but to use such underhanded tactics was another matter entirely. This was no ordinary cosmic monster and required a heavy blow!

"Okay, please send us the relevant information about Gabishu, and we will cooperate in the search immediately."

The monster that can kidnap hostages needs to be found as soon as possible, otherwise things could get really bad if someone finds it. Hopefully, things won't develop in a direction that nobody wants.

Just as Commander Nanase was thinking this, on Earth, in the Leo family's shrine, Seele curiously looked at the two small transparent boxes on the floor and the two blue, mouse-like creatures trapped inside. "What are these?"

"A monster? I don't know, it fell from the sky and smashed through the ceiling." Gatanothor, with his usual expressionless face, had a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Seele looked up at the hole in the ceiling. "Renlong and Leo will be unhappy now. But these two are so small. Are you sure they're monsters?"

“Hmm.” Gatanothor nodded firmly, then stared at Gabishu inside the glass box with Seele, making Gabishu tremble with fear.

As a ferocious cosmic monster, Gabishu is not unintelligent. After being shrunk and locked in this box and falling to this side, it originally planned to use its harmless appearance to gain the trust of others and then kidnap hostages.

But what's wrong with these two kids? The silver-haired one looks like he could be slapped to death, and the other one with no expression is even more terrifying. Just looking into those eyes makes Gabishu feel like he's staring into an indescribable abyss.

Despite being a ferocious monster that kills without blinking an eye, Gabishu only wanted to teleport away at this moment. However, this damned box limited its abilities. Although Earth's atmosphere could dissolve the containment box, it would still take time.

At this moment, Gabishu was unaware that teleportation on Earth required skill; ordinary teleportation was practically impossible. Zetton and the others could teleport freely only because of their connection with Leo, and Gabishu was clearly still somewhat inferior to Zetton.

After staring at Gabishu for a while, Gatanothor subconsciously blurted out his thoughts, "It feels like it will taste delicious?"

"Chirp!?" The two Gabish seemed to understand Gatanothor's meaning, their hair standing on end in fright. No, is this guy crazy?!

"Ah, are we going to eat this?" Seele scratched her head. "I don't think it's a good idea. It looks so furry, and even with the fur, it's still so small. It'll be gone in one bite each."

"Shouldn't we be able to raise them a bit bigger?" Gatanothor rubbed his hands together, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "Monsters should all be able to grow quite large, right?"

"It's possible, but this looks like a rat, and it's not hygienic to eat. Leo will definitely be unhappy, and he might even look down on us."

"..." Gatanothor thought for a moment. If eating this thing caused Leo to refuse to hug him when he went to find Leo, it would indeed be too much of a loss. "Then what should we do?"

“I don’t know either, let’s just kill them.” Seele scratched her head. She wasn’t good at thinking about these things. Gatanothor thought about it and agreed. He prepared to use a wisp of black mist to clean up the two Gabishou.

Even just looking at it, Gabishu felt that the black mist could reduce the two brothers to ashes. He trembled and wanted to run away but couldn't. But then Gatanothor thought of something and looked up at the hole above his head.

"But what if Leo asks us who broke the ceiling?"

If those two little monsters are gone, Magabassa, that big mouth, will definitely tell Leo that they broke up the house. That mouth of hers is absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

After all, the only things in the house that haven't been ruined by these two kids are the old items. Ren Long made it clear that breaking those items would make Leo very unhappy, including the roof. But aside from that, the chopsticks and plates in the house have been replaced several times.

Galatrom even opened a furniture wholesale factory nearby, striving to achieve self-sufficiency. Sigh, can someone explain why Gatanothor and Hilbargon like to eat wood fiber and porcelain? They even say the former is chewy and the latter is crunchy.

“Then we won’t kill it.” Seele scratched her head. “When Leo comes back, we’ll tell it was those two bad guys who did it, and it has nothing to do with us!”

“Okay!” Gatanothor nodded, then placed the two things on the table to prevent them from running away when he wasn’t looking.

However, it was really unlucky, because Ereshkigal liked to smash the floorboards every now and then, which annoyed Gorgorgon. So Galatrom simply replaced all the floorboards in the house with Gobniu Metal, which prevented those two things from smashing holes in the floorboards. It's just that the ceiling wasn't taken into consideration.

Gabishu was almost in tears, practically begging for mercy, but unless the two of them offered to fix the hole in the ceiling, they weren't going to run away. No way.

The conversation between the two little ones and the fact that the two Gabishu had fallen into the house were all seen by Galatron through the surveillance camera. It was really strange, because at that time everyone in the family was busy with something, and only the two children were at home.

Meanwhile, Leo was reading Gabishu's data as he ate some kebabs. He wasn't too worried about it, since the crash site was in his own territory. Galatrom would definitely notice and take care of everything. Galatrom had probably overheard the conversations at Delta Force.

Oh, I was just saying that when Galatron called...

"Cough cough cough cough." Leo couldn't help but cough up the barbecue in his mouth, and Ke Xi'er quickly patted his back. "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I was just eating too fast."

Leo waved his hand, he really didn't expect this situation. What kind of sins did these two monsters commit to end up in his house? But it's good this way, it avoids threatening ordinary citizens.

But then again, these two kids want to eat everything, so we still need to teach them a thing or two.

Chapter 380 Yako: You'll get what's coming to you sooner or later

“So this is Gabishu.” Ako curiously reached out and poked the two rat-like things through the glass. “If they weren’t monsters, keeping them as pets wouldn’t be a bad idea.”

"Do you want to keep it as a pet?" Gatanothor blinked. She didn't really care about that; she was just afraid that Leo would be unhappy because the ceiling in their house was broken.

"Can we really keep them?" Seele looked at the two Gabishu. Actually, the two little guys looked quite cute. It would be nice to keep them as a way to pass the time when we had nothing else to do.

"If you two want to, Leo will definitely agree. After all, he spoils you the most. Sigh, it's really enviable."

Yako rubbed her forehead, feeling envious as she was, but she didn't want to sit at the same table as the kids. However, she couldn't really let these two keep monsters as pets. They already had so many at home, and these two monsters had no strength or special abilities, so keeping them would be useless.

"We can raise them, but from now on, their food portions will have to be taken from your side..."

"Kill him." Gatanothor's aura instantly hardened, and Seele's expression turned serious. "Hmm, keeping him around is too much trouble, let's kill him!"

These two are really possessive of their food. Yako patted her head. She knew that bringing up this matter would solve the problem between them. At home, apart from Leo, only Renlong and Galatron could share food from their bowls.
