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

"Indeed, Dr. Nezu spent the latter half of his life researching how to destroy Zlda gas. Having power is important, but having the heart to control that power is even more important," Kotaro Higashi concluded.

On this point, no one disagreed; the most important thing was to survive on Earth. However, Beidou sighed, "Alas, it's a pity that after experiencing so many attacks from outer space, Earthlings have developed unease and fear towards the universe."

"If we lose our aspirations and hope for the universe, we will also lose our dreams of exploration. If friendly aliens come to Earth one day, we will be on guard against them. That would be terrible."

“But it’s not incomprehensible. So far, the universe has not shown us Earthlings any kindness.” Yato Takeshi also sighed. “But to be honest, understanding is one thing, and being able to accept it is another.”

"From what I understand recently, although our students are very enthusiastic about joining TPC, they have lost their desire to explore the universe and the future. Many children who were originally interested in astronomy have given up."

Thinking about this makes one feel particularly regretful, but who can be blamed? The universe's malice towards Earth has never stopped, and it cannot be resolved by forming an alliance once. Moreover, people are more likely to remember enemies than friends.

Leo was also struggling with this problem, but the all-knowing head maid, Galatron, assured him that he could entrust it to her without worry. So, the problem Leo now needed to face was...

"This is Raymond. He officially joins the Victory Team today and will fight alongside you all." Leo formally introduced Raymond to the members of the Victory Team.

Joining Raymond into the Victory Team is the best solution Leo can think of. Firstly, Raymond already knows Horii and Shinjo, and they have a good relationship, making it easier for him to integrate.

Secondly, of the four teams at TPC headquarters, excluding the Silver Star Vanguard Team which guards the headquarters, the Armory, ESCG, and Victory Team have the highest number of members. It would be good to have Raymond in the Victory Team to hone his skills.

The main problem is that it's difficult to add people to ESCG. If we put them in the Armory, with Asgaron's combat power and Jugglus Juggler as a backup, it's hard to find an opportunity for Raymond to grow properly.

"Regarding Raymond's identity, I will not hide it from you. He is a member of the Knicks' forces. The Knicks specifically instructed him to assist TPC in the battle, which can also be regarded as honing his abilities."

"As for his abilities, Horii and Shinjo haven't had a chance to talk about them yet. He can control monsters just like Nix. However, according to the scientific research department, Raymond can probably only control three monsters."

Upon hearing that Raymond's abilities were the same as the mysterious "Nix," Lina and the others who were unaware of the situation showed expressions of great surprise. They knew very well what level Nix was at; commanding monsters in battle was something that even Dr. Eight-Tailed had researched and achieved results in, but it was still hard to believe.

"Please take care of me from now on!" Raymond was still a little dazed. He hadn't been able to remember all the things Leo had said on the way here, but at least he knew that he would be living here from now on, under the command of the guy named Nix who had knocked him out.

Raymond was quite happy to work with Daigo Shinjo, but Captain Hyuga complained to him a lot. He knew that Raymond was simple-minded and had only been born recently, so he treated Raymond like a son and hoped to keep an eye on him to prevent any accidents. Unexpectedly, Leo was transferred directly to the front line.

However, in the future, Leo actually hopes to have Raymond follow the Panlong on space exploration projects, if such a future comes.

"Captain, is this the surprise you were talking about?" Zongfang looked at Jujian Hui, who smiled helplessly. "To be honest, when Vice Captain Leo told me, I thought it should be called a shock."

But this was Leo's arrangement, and there was nothing wrong with it. Megumi had no reason to refuse. She had witnessed Raymond's fighting power today; that Gomora was indeed stronger than a monster like Garula.

As for the fact that Shinjo and Horii have been impersonated by Mioko and Barbossa for the past few days, Megumi Kijima already knew about it, and the other members of the GUTS team also noticed it. The reason is simple: Shinjo hasn't crashed in three days. Is that even possible?

"In short, I'm leaving Raymond in your care."

Leo spoke with a smile, but for some reason, everyone felt that this smile... well, it seemed like there was something sinister hidden behind it. But Vice Captain Leo wasn't that kind of person, was he?

Xincheng shook his head to clear his mind of these random thoughts, then grabbed Raymond's hand. "Raymond, let me show you around TPC."

Seeing what Shinjo said, Leo also offered a suggestion, "Well, go to the scientific research department. Raymond will probably have to deal with them frequently in the future."

In everyone's eyes, Leo's actions were simply because Raymond was an exchange student, and most likely the Nix forces tacitly approved Earth's ability to conduct moderate research on Raymond.

But actually, Leo just wanted to say that since the sarcophagus is there, Raymond will probably visit it often in the future, so there's nothing wrong with him going there now to make himself known.

Chapter 386 Stringman: Exposed?

Today is Raymond's first official day at work, and to be honest, he's a little nervous. To be honest, he's only been born for less than a month, and his rapid growth means that apart from combat, he knows practically nothing about life.

Shinjo had just finished washing up when he was surprised to find that Raymond was up so early. The Victory team uniform looked quite good on him. Since they had taken Raymond in, Raymond was assigned to be his roommate.

"Good morning, Raymond. Wash up and let's go have breakfast. I'll also tell you about some things today and teach you how to drive."

Given Raymond's unique circumstances, he doesn't need to pilot a fighter jet, but he still needs to learn how to drive. Although TPC's cars also have intelligent driving features, he still needs to consider other factors.

Leo had his cousin join the GUTS team mainly because the team atmosphere was great. The Armory was too busy and not suitable. The GUTS team would at least allow for easier contact with human society, making Raymond more approachable to humans.

As for ESCG? Laughable. Does ESCG even have any humans left? They're under constant pressure, not to mention Leo has to undergo special training. Asking Raymond to join them now would be asking too much of him.

Raymond's current strength level is about the same as that of the ESCG members a month ago. To put it bluntly, any EXJ fighter jet he could find from TPC would make Gomora, who is currently only capable of melee combat, sweat profusely.

"We need to find a way to equip Raymond with a monster that can operate remotely."

Leo pondered this as he twirled the specially made fountain pen in his hand. It was made for him by Galatron and its full name was "No matter how you spin it, it won't spill ink." It was really useful and stress-relieving.

"Flying-type monsters inevitably have weaknesses in other aspects. Someone like Hilarious is too rare. A firepower turret would be more suitable. Hmm... Giving him the monster I have would be like forcing a seedling to grow too fast."

"As for monsters, they really need to grow on their own. High mobility is also necessary. Hmm... this is troublesome. Let's see what Chariga has."

Leo then remembered that he knew Charlie. Come to think of it, aside from their first transaction, he had mainly been responsible for selling the goods, and his Red King Joe was extremely popular.

Ever since news spread throughout the universe that the unfortunate Pedan aliens had lost most of their fighting force on Planet Hama, King Joe on Leo's side sold out. Even Chariga was curious about what exactly happened on Planet Hama.

First, there were rumors that after Juda was resurrected, he went to the space prison of the Land of Light, broke the seal, and released the strongest Reionics Belial in the universe. But strangely, the two sides did not join forces to attack the Land of Light, but disappeared into the universe.

Later, rumors circulated that Juda and Belial appeared on the planet Hama, the battlefield of the Reonics, and fought a great battle with the Reiblood aliens. Upon receiving the news, the Land of Light pursued Belial and arrived. Zoffy's M87 Beam caused the destruction of the entire planet Hama.

Later, another great battle broke out in the Monster Graveyard. No one knows what happened during that battle. All that is known is that Father of Ultra and others brought out the Ultra Bell, Reiblood disappeared, Juda and the others seemed to have failed, and Belial's whereabouts are also unknown.

Chariga's intuition told him that this must be related to Leo, but he didn't want to ask directly. However, when he saw that Leo actually took the initiative to order a monster, he subconsciously felt something was wrong and wondered if he had seen it wrong, or if Leo's account had been hacked.

[Mr. Cha, AAA Monster Wholesaler]: You actually thought of ordering monsters?

To be honest, Chariga had quite a few monsters, but he knew very well that even if all his monsters were added together, including the Yanagaki that had disappeared somewhere, they wouldn't be enough to beat Leo's three major monsters: Zetton, Demaga, and Eleking.

Honestly, investing in Leo was the best decision Charlieja ever made. Just the favor of giving Galatron to Leo ensured that as long as Charlieja didn't turn against Leo or cross his bottom line, their business could continue.

【My Zetton is the best in the universe】: I don't need it myself, I bought it for someone else, a Reonicus, who is also a relative of mine. It's best to have a Flying-type with strong combat power.

As for ranged attacks, Leo will consider it himself. At worst, he can catch another Lagras for Raymond and let him figure out how to evolve it. With Leonics's abilities, he can definitely evolve Lagras to another level, reaching the EX level.

However, for Leo, even if he were to evolve Lagras to EX level, the drawbacks would still be too obvious. A monster that is not well-rounded is still not good enough, and it is unnecessary if it cannot keep up with the demands of battle.

[Mr. Cha, AAA Monster Wholesaler]: I see. Flying-type monsters are generally not very strong... and even fewer that would catch your eye. But let me think about it, how about Bemstar?

Leo also has a Bemstar monster, which was personally modified by Emperor. It was badly beaten by Taro back then, so its combat power is indeed quite good. Leo thinks it's not bad. Even if its potential is a bit lacking, it's enough to get some Sfidam materials to make up for it.

The deal was settled, and Charlie just happened to come to Earth to pick up the goods. Leo hummed a little tune and began to arrange Raymond's training for the day. At the same time, it was almost time to arrange training for the rest of the ESCG team.

He has the day off today and needs to go back to be with Ai Lei this afternoon. He came here this morning simply to finish his official business and explain things to Captain Xianren and the others. Otherwise, if Ai Lei keeps bothering him this afternoon, he probably won't be able to reply to messages by noon tomorrow.

As soon as Xianren entered the command room, he saw Leo sighing heavily, as if he were thinking about something very important. Xianren felt uneasy, but they hadn't crashed recently, so Leo was probably just thinking about something else.

"Good morning, Vice Captain. Why are you here so early today? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"More or less." Leo sighed. It wasn't just that he hadn't slept well; he hadn't slept at all.

Just thinking about this made Leo clutch his waist. Even the body created by Ultimate Darkness couldn't withstand this kind of abuse. Last night, Ereshkigal let him off the hook, but Dimaga couldn't resist and even brought Magabassa along. The chaotic duo kept Leo awake all night.

"The others haven't arrived yet, Leo. You don't live at headquarters either, so you should get some rest. I am the captain, after all, and I can still handle some work."

After what happened yesterday, Gento realized that he couldn't focus all his energy on fighting; he also needed to learn to share some of the paperwork with Leo.

"Are you sure?" Leo looked at Gento and nodded, then thought for a moment, picked up a stack of documents several centimeters high from beside his feet and placed them on the table. "How about we each take half?"

Looking at the sheer number of documents, Gento's jaw dropped. He quickly patted his face, "Wait, how come there are so many?"

"Because our ESCG has a very special role, there's nothing we can do about it. We need to review the weapon and equipment upgrades, personnel deployments, and combat reports of all defense forces worldwide. We've also recently expanded our recruitment and organization, significantly increasing the number of defense forces."

“SKIP, SRC and Special Investigations Division, you also need to review the data from these departments. The paper files are just for backup, and the electronic files haven’t been sent to you yet. But all of these together only account for one-third, so you can handle this one-third.”

Upon hearing Leo's arrangements, Gento suddenly began to wonder if his vice-captain was also an Ultraman. His work efficiency was simply inhuman. "Vice-captain, are you a robot? How can you be so efficient?"

Leo's eyes held a hint of resentment. "So you're always disappearing after plane crashes? Did you turn into Ultraman to fight monsters?"

"Cough cough cough!" Captain Stringman couldn't help but spit out the coffee in his mouth. Leo casually shook his hand and said, "Captain, it's not good to drink coffee so early in the morning. Hot milk would be better, or juice would be fine too."

"This... uh, um, I understand." Seeing Leo lower his head and get back to work, Gento's heart calmed down a little. He thought that Leo already knew that he was Blaze, but it seems that Leo was just teasing him.

Chapter 387 Gilbaris, the Scapegoat

"The vice-captain's efficiency is... truly terrifying."

Looking at the documents that were disappearing rapidly beside Leo, Komon really doubted whether Leo was even human. Wasn't it said that Leo's physical abilities were more evolved? How come his brain seemed to be the most useful?

"Because we've gotten used to it. All the defense forces are reforming around the ESCG, and the reports are all pretty much the same. You can tell what to do just by taking a look. The weapons and equipment have been updated recently, but... there's the issue of training the personnel in each branch."

The damage to the city caused by the last large-scale invasion by Sphia can be restored by Galatron, but the defense team members who sacrificed themselves in the battle cannot be revived. Of the five teams in the Asian branch of the Tenglong Team, only Tenglong Team 1 remains.

"Because there have been so many monsters in recent years, even the reserve team has plenty of combat experience, but there is still a gap compared to their predecessors. They need to recover their combat power while the enemy is lying in wait."

As Leo spoke, he was reviewing documents. “We at ESCG especially need training. Although everyone has sufficient fighter piloting skills and combat experience, the combat scenarios we face are simply too intense.”

With energy collisions happening all the time, it would be a stretch to fight. Without the Specia Barrier activated, they could easily send fighter jets flying.

However, the ESCG group rarely actually fought in fighter jets, while Leo always fought alongside his human-machine teammates. Therefore, their understanding of training was definitely different from what Leo was talking about.

After revising the document, Leo, amidst the admiring gazes of everyone, took out a stack of science books and began to peruse them. He couldn't possibly leave all the household affairs to Galatron; he was also studying himself. I even saw his own thesis lying beside him.

Are you kidding me? Just a week ago, Leo only had a high school diploma. The vice-captain's brain has evolved faster than his body.

Leo couldn't hear a word of the complaints in everyone's minds, but he quickly remembered something and looked up.

"By the way, we got news from the Knicks today. They seem to have encountered a very troublesome enemy, and it will be difficult for them to spare time to help us for the next period of time. We on Earth need to work hard."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank. Everyone knew that Nix's strength was the strongest on their side, not to mention the powerful monsters under his command. EX Zetton's strength was even stronger than the normal strength of everyone present.

If the Knicks encounter a very difficult enemy and are unable to help for some time, then everyone can only pray that no more difficult or intractable enemies will appear.

However, everyone also knew that they couldn't rely on Nix's power forever, and they had to become stronger as soon as possible. But the problem was... the monsters on Earth were nothing special. They couldn't just go to space to find monsters to fight, could they?

"In addition, news has come from the Knicks that Earth is being targeted by a very dangerous enemy named Gilbaris. The relevant information is as follows."

As Leo spoke, Gilbaris's image was projected onto the large screen, but anyone who saw Gilbaris couldn't help but have the same thought as Daigo: "How come he looks so much like Galatrom?"

"That's right. Galatron, which belongs to the Nix forces, was originally a restraining weapon created by the planet Kucia to contain Gilbaris. However, Gilbaris went out of control and caused the destruction of the planet Kucia, and Galatron ended up in the hands of the Nix forces."

This is Leo's strategy. Next, he needs to find a way to arrange a suitable and powerful opponent for Captain Stringman and his team. This mission requires a powerful monster, but it's not good for Leo's subordinates to directly step in. At this point, they need someone to take the blame, and Gilbaris is the perfect candidate.

This guy is Galatrom's nemesis and will definitely come knocking on his door one day. Moreover, Galatrom has rated Gilbaris as a high threat because he also absorbs data to grow and will likely create many subordinates to participate in the battle, making him a perfect scapegoat.

"According to Galatrom, Gilbaris exists for the sake of cosmic peace, but it believes that no intelligent life can exist in order to destroy the universe, so it is not surprising that it has set its sights on Earth."

Hearing Leo say this, everyone's expressions turned serious. They had witnessed the rise of the Knicks' power. A month ago, the Knicks only had one monster, Zetton, but after acquiring Galatron, the speed at which their power expanded was unimaginable.

"How strong is this Gilbaris?"

Captain Stringman asked a question, and Leo thought for a moment that he certainly couldn't say that Gilbaris would probably be torn to scrap metal if he faced the current Galatrox, so he nodded very seriously, "He might be stronger than Dark Lugiel transformed by Nix."

This is not good news. Everyone's expression turned serious. Stronger than Dark Lugiel? That's outrageous! In that case, what kind of Dark Emperor is Emperor Empera?

As everyone was pondering, the main computer suddenly beeped. Imu and Fujimiya lowered their heads and began to work. "Golza has appeared in City B, but... its appearance is that of a lava Golza, and it is 100 meters in size, but its energy reaction is not that high?"

Compared to the walking little sun, Lava Golza, this one is quite ordinary except for its size. However, it is still worth paying attention to, since something like Flame Golza appeared just yesterday.

"Let the Victory team go. The Knicks said they need to give Raymond more playing time too."

Leo was quite relaxed about it. After all, this was a training plan he had specially arranged for Raymond. Considering that Raymond hadn't been officially involved in combat for very long, and taking into account the time when he himself had officially started fighting, it wasn't a problem to have the Victory Team participate in the support at this point.

Raymond was taken aback when he heard that a monster had appeared on his very first day with the GUTS team. Although it was Reiblood who had catalyzed his growth, he still had some common sense. "Didn't Golza just fight one yesterday? And can Golza really grow to a hundred meters tall?"

Seeing Raymond's confused expression, Shinjo remembered that he wasn't from Earth and patted him on the shoulder.

"Yesterday is yesterday, today is today. There are Golza to fight every day. It's okay. They're just a bit bigger. Even if Golza is a subspecies, it's still Golza. We're not afraid of the Five Emperors."

What are the Five Emperors? Before Raymond could ask, he saw everyone getting ready, putting on their helmets, and following Zongfang's command to drive the Sherlock car.

To my shame, it was only during yesterday's test that everyone discovered that Raymond, as a member of Leonis, has excellent physical fitness and outstanding learning ability, but... he gets airsick.

But that doesn't matter. Raymond's main fighting style is still with Gomora. The stronger the opponent, the more it can stimulate his potential. Raymond also has confidence in his Gomora. The opponent is just a bit bigger, and he also has teammates to support him.

"The GUTS team has set off..." Ako glanced back. "Big sister Galatron, are you going to take control yourself?"

“There’s no need for that. Training always has to be gradual. Even Leo didn’t grow to this level in just a few days.” There’s no need for Raymond to have Galatron intervene right now.

If Raymond could one day defeat the MK3 he created, or even the MK4 that is about to be completed, then it would be worth it for her to personally take action. Raymond's potential should be no problem.

"Taking it step by step means you're just setting up two metal Ultramen for them, right? Back then, Leo was holding Zetton."

Even Yako couldn't help but complain a few times, but after thinking about how Galatron and Zetton suggested that they would be given "MK2 Special Edition" enemies the very next day, she could only say that Leo was too kind.

Of course, Galatrone also has other tasks. If the GUTS team runs into trouble, ESCG will definitely provide support, so they need to split up. Let the ESCG members experience the MK2 special edition first, as it's an enhanced version specifically for Ultraman.

Chapter 388 Gomora: Why don't you go up?

"This is New Town. The target has been confirmed as a large monster, suspected to be Lava Golza. Launch the attack now!"

Shinjo rubbed his hands together, feeling strange that someone had actually taken his place at work before. But then he thought, how could a place like Planet Hama dare to call itself a monster duel arena?
