"Me too, but I'm just so hungry." Horii echoed, then immediately realized, "Could this be their ability to accelerate the rate at which our bodies consume energy, in other words, speed up our biological clock!?"
“But what’s the point?” Shinjo scratched his head. Although Motalanga’s constant teleportation made him difficult to hit, they weren’t without ways to deal with it. “Does he intend for us to exhaust our energy and starve to death? That sounds too far-fetched.”
"Yeah, what's the point?" Horii, Munakata, and even Izayoi and Nozue in the command room couldn't figure it out. What use was this ability other than making them get beaten up even more? It seemed to be completely useless.
Leo was amused. He had been worried that Motalanga might have some other tricks up his sleeve, but it turned out that this was all he had to do. However, this trick would indeed be very effective against other people, since Earthlings all have a source of light within their bodies that can resist the invasion of viruses.
Galatron also said that it would take at least a day to see noticeable effects, but the problem is that Motalanga can't last a day. Right now, he's relying entirely on the energy the virus has plundered from others to recover. If it weren't for the fact that the virus has infected so many people, he would probably be lying on the ground by now.
"This is Asgard, preparing to land." Haruki's voice reached the GUTS team. They had basically obtained all of Mortalanga's information, so he didn't need to be polite. "Meta Field Generator, activate!"
Asgaron raised its tail, and a beam of light shot into the sky, then exploded, engulfing everything. The Mortaranga alien suddenly realized that its teleportation was no longer working.
What awaited him was the pinnacle of TPC technology, possessing three deadly weapons: the Super-Temperature Difference Ray, the Zelda Missile, and the Max Cannon. It could use the Texas Beam as a basic attack, possessed the Sphia Barrier, could punch through Garula, and had thick skin to withstand the Super-Temperature Difference Asgaron.
Watching from afar as Mortalanga, who hadn't shown any outstanding performance even when imprisoned in the Meta Realm, fell silent. He began to wonder if the guy's greatest skill was simply boasting.
You said before that you could severely damage humanity in less than three hours, but after landing for only three minutes, people are already in critical condition. Your ability was supposed to exhaust humans to death, but I enhanced it three times over!
"I really misjudged him." Volugan shook his head. Although he knew that Motalanga was going to die, he had hoped that this guy could find out the details on Earth, but he died so casually.
Well, I should think about who to resurrect next. Judging from the strength of this defense team, ordinary monsters and aliens simply can't handle them. But for me, with my dark armor, they're nothing special.
While Volugan was pondering this, Tilis was also investigating in space, arriving at a tavern run by the Standelians. "So, there's a guy calling himself Volugan inquiring about Earth?"
"That's right, the reward wasn't low either. I gave him all the data from Earth a month ago." The Natanian said smugly. He had never met Tilis before, but even the bar manager had come to greet her personally, which showed that Tilis was no ordinary person.
"A month ago..." Tilis looked at the Tantian with a strange expression, then glanced at the other aliens, and immediately understood what had happened.
Good grief, Leo said before that after Earth made a name for itself, no aliens would invade anymore. Then everyone was wondering why there were still aliens invading. Turns out, these guys were all trying to trick Earth. They really love making a scene.
However, Tilis recognized the name Volugan. She casually pulled up a photo and exclaimed, "Is it him?"
"Yes, that's him. This guy is incredibly arrogant and conceited, so I remember him very clearly!"
"You Tankai people have the right to call others arrogant?" Tilis silently rolled her eyes in her mind, then stood up and left. She was going back to report. She really wasn't used to being away from home for several days. The Renlong Shrine was now her home too.
Chapter 399 The Gaze Behind Zaki
Motalanga couldn't understand why, even though his abilities had been enhanced three times by Volugan, they were performing worse than before.
Could it be that Volugan didn't actually strengthen his abilities, but instead weakened them? Was that guy worried that he would conquer Earth and steal his credit in front of that person?!
Yes, that must be it!
Motalanga was furious and couldn't help but roar to the sky, "Vorugan, damn it, sm..."
Asgaron's fist slammed directly into Mortalanga's body. This punch, which could pierce through Garula, could naturally pierce through Mortalanga's body as well. Meta Field severed the connection between him and his virus, and he did not have the extra energy to repair himself.
Moreover, in this subspace, even his teleportation ability was restricted. Damn it, why does Earth's defense force have such an unreasonable thing? Did they open it?
Haruki retreated, simultaneously firing a Texas Beam that sent Mortalanga flying. Before Mortalanga could even get up, three Zelda missiles slammed into his face.
Even the Oguma robot couldn't withstand the Zelda missile, so dealing with it was naturally a piece of cake. Before it could even scream, Mortalanga fell down, leaving only fragments of its body.
"Asgaron, what is this guy talking about? Who is Volugan?"
Haruki looked at Asgaron. Recently, Asgaron was equipped with the latest intelligent system developed by TPC to better assist in combat. The only thing that was a little uncomfortable was that its sound was very easy to associate with an explosion.
"It's probably his companion. It seems Earth has been targeted by new aliens." Asgaron analyzed. "It seems things aren't quite what we expected. We should report this later, but for now, we still need to recover the debris from the site."
"Isn't the recycling work handled by SRC?" Yaohui rubbed his stomach and suddenly felt very hungry.
"According to Horii's analysis, this virus does indeed accelerate the consumption of energy in living organisms. However, after several enhancements, humans have developed considerable resistance, but the virus still exists even after Motalanga's death."
"Therefore, by directly recovering Motalanga, the scientific research department can produce an antidote to the virus in the shortest possible time."
Hearing Asgaron say this, Haruki finally understood why he felt hungry even though he had just finished lunch. It turned out that he was affected by the virus. If this were ten years ago, Mortaranga could have really taken over the Earth with this trick.
"Then let's start the recycling now."
"Understood. Asgaron is now entering... Alert, energy reaction!" Asgaron looked up at the dark spiral energy cloud appearing overhead. "Zagi's energy reaction detected."
"Zaki!?" Haruki retreated decisively, and a beam of light fell from the sky, slamming heavily into the spot where Asgaron had just been standing. The resulting massive explosion made Haruki's heart tremble. Even if this power couldn't destroy Asgaron, it could still cause considerable damage.
As the beam of light dissipated, a Garula with a ferocious appearance emerged. Its armor seemed to have been reinforced, its hands had transformed into sharp claws, and the weakness in its throat had been repaired. This was clearly an individual that had been modified by Zagi using Xenomorph cells.
"Garula, the Alien Beast. The Alien Beast Golza, which was strengthened before, is not easy to deal with. I wonder how this guy is?"
"Their goal might be to reduce our fighting strength or to retrieve Mortalanga's body," Asgaron offered his analysis. Haruki's heart sank; they couldn't let them succeed.
If Zaki gets his hands on Mortalanga's body, who knows what he might do? Thinking this, Haruki gripped the joystick tightly. "Asgaron, let's go!"
"Received. Initiate annihilation mode."
Facing the Alien Beast Garula, Asgaron cannot be careless. He immediately launched his strongest attack. The artificial Meta Domain is definitely less effective against Alien Beasts than the one created by Nexus, but it can still suppress the opponent.
At the same time, the spiral cloud in the sky burst out with a powerful suction force, trying to lift up the fragments of Mortalanga's corpse on the ground and take them away, but it was interrupted by another powerful force.
"Zaki, you really don't miss any opportunity." Emperor Empera emerged from a corner of Meta Realm. She had been there from the beginning, after all, Leo was very interested in the power of Mortalanga, but she didn't expect the fried chicken to interfere.
At this moment, Emperor still maintains his appearance as an Alien Emperor, which is why Haruki is so shocked. After all, he was deeply impressed by the invasion of the Dark Emperor on his first day in the Armory, but wasn't the Dark Emperor already dead?
"My partner is more interested in this, so... get out of the way!"
A powerful burst of psychic energy erupted instantly, sending the alien beast Garula flying. The fried chicken in the sky directly exploded with energy and collided with Emperor's psychic energy. Clearly, Mortaranga's corpse was quite useful to him, and he was even willing to confront Emperor head-on for it.
Zagi's power exceeded Emperor Empera's expectations. Even though he was much weaker than when he was the Dark Emperor, he could still easily kill a regular Golza. Yet, Zagi managed to suppress him with all his might.
At the critical moment, Haruki and Asgaron made their move, firing a Max Cannon directly at the dark spiral cloud in the sky. Zagi had to divert his strength to deal with the resistance. He was secretly amazed; he really didn't expect that the Dark Emperor, who had suddenly survived, would cause trouble at this time.
Normally, the addition of Ampera and Asgard wouldn't be a problem for him, but he could sense that Leo was heading this way. If this stalemate continued, not only would Mortalanga be left here, but he himself would also be left behind.
So Zagi chose to leave. Emperor Abela snorted and swept up Mortalanga's corpse, disappearing in front of Haruki. But he didn't forget to leave him a piece. The latter scratched his head, not quite understanding why Emperor Abela had chosen to attack earlier and deliberately avoided him. Was he an ally?
"They even left us a piece," Asgaron thought, believing that Empera had probably become an ally of the Knicks. But what would the Knicks need this for? To research an antidote?
Ampera was also a little curious, looking at Leo who came to meet him, "It's just a virus of that level, can't humans solve it themselves? The group of inventors under your command are definitely the most amazing I've ever seen."
Putting aside everything else, the virus from Motalanga would be troublesome anywhere else, but on Earth, which has experienced the Ultimate Darkness, the Specia life form, and the Chaos virus, not to mention the Gordis virus, which can cause biological mutations.
Compared to these strange and grotesque things, the virus in Motalanga is like a little girl who hasn't grown up yet.
Leo took out the Ultimate Fighting Device and put the items away. "Although the Mortalanga virus consumes a lot of life force, it is essentially burning the power of life. If we study it, it may come in handy in certain situations... Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ampera's eyes held a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction, but then turned to helplessness, and he could only sigh, "Don't use it unless absolutely necessary."
"I know," Leo nodded quickly. In the end, this thing still needed to be given to Galatrom to study. If possible, he hoped that he would not need this thing, but when it came to a critical moment, he could not care about so much.
“You’d better really know,” Ampera grumbled, then hugged Leo, her voice muffled. “I really don’t want anything to happen to you.”
"But if it really comes to that, I will stay with you. No matter what happens, I will never leave your side."
As the Dark Emperor had committed a grave error, he was now atoning for it with his beloved, and Emperor Empera was prepared to die alongside him.
Meanwhile, Zaki returned to his hiding place in the subspace. He certainly didn't dare to stay outside any longer, as no one knew how far Nix's reach was. Fortunately, Garula was unharmed, but his side was currently severely lacking in combat power.
I really don't understand. I'm the villain, so how come the other side is able to fight so well? They even outnumber me. Isn't the advantage of numbers usually the villain's prerogative?
While Zaki was troubled, he didn't notice that one of the eyes on the alien beast mother hiding to the side was looking at him with a clear scrutiny, as cold as Gatanothor.
Chapter 400 Gilbaris really appeared
"You mean, that Dark Emperor has become Nix's subordinate?" Gento handed Haruki a cup of tea and listened to his report.
"Yes, I think that's how it should be, but ultimately it's just my personal judgment, and I can't make a definitive conclusion." After all, there wasn't enough information, so Yaohui couldn't really say what the matter was.
"No, your report is very valuable. In short, this mission was hard-won. The scientific research team is accelerating their research on the Motalanga virus and will be finished soon."
Ultimately, the virus in Motalanga is just a type of light virus, which is not a problem at all for TPC scientists who have studied the Chaos virus. Dr. Tango is too lazy to even take action, but Dr. Otomo is somewhat interested.
Therefore, Dr. Otomo also received a mission: to study the virus in Motalanga in order to create a drug that could temporarily boost combat effectiveness.
To Dr. Otomo's surprise, the mission did not come from Leo or any other hawkish figure, but from the ESCG's unworthy captain of the String Man. He even rubbed his eyes for a long time before finally confirming that it was not an order from Leo.
However, Dr. Otomo still asked Leo for his opinion and received an affirmative answer. Leo could easily imagine what Captain Stringman was thinking when he gave this mission. Even though his memories had not been fully restored, the sense of powerlessness from 30 million years ago was still deeply etched in his heart.
“Captain Stringman and the others are also worried about not being strong enough.” Leo stroked his chin. He could easily guess what Stringman and the others were thinking. He picked up his phone and glanced at it. Staff Officer Gondo had just sent him a message saying that he had a surprise to show him.
"What surprises could Gondo possibly have for me?" Leo shook his head with a smile. Gondo's work was basically under his control, and his plans couldn't be pushed forward without Leo's permission.
As for the surprise that Gondo mentioned, Leo could roughly guess that it was about the ruins that Masaki Keigo had previously unearthed. TPC had secretly excavated the ruins and opened up the entrance that Masaki Keigo had blocked with underground mechanical sharks.
Research on Ultraman is naturally indispensable. Masaki Keigo has already proven the possibility of humans becoming Ultraman. For humans suffering from a fear of insufficient combat power, they have no choice but to try to touch this power. Leo is essentially acting as a facilitator.
"Want to go take a look?" Leo looked at Ida Masashi, who was sitting with Renlong drinking tea. Well, not Alaya, because Alaya had been playing around and Ida Masashi hadn't been able to finish her homework, so Renlong had punished her by making her do someone else's homework.
However, Leo wasn't asking about Ida Mari, but rather about the sword beside her, Hiruzen, which housed Ida Iryu's soul. "I had the same idea," Leo said, "it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look."
"Then I don't need to go, right?" Ida Mari blinked. She just wanted to take a break. Her younger brother went to tutoring class today, and the school was temporarily closed because it was bombed by the Motalanga aliens. It was a rare day off for her.
"It's fine if you don't want to go. Gatan and Seele happen to need a friend, so the three of you can hang out together."
As Hipporito aliens, Shaura, along with Mioko and Barbossa, were sent by Leo to space to gather intelligence. Of course, it was also a way to give them a break. As for why they weren't given a break on Earth? LOL, they'd run into several monsters the moment they stepped out the door.
So Gatan and Seele had no playmates, and King Grand didn't want to hang out with the children. It's just that Ida Masashi came at the perfect time, serving as a playmate for the children and helping them with their studies.
As for the original Dark Four Heavenly Kings, namely the Mefilas aliens, Leo sent them to help the Balgi aliens with some affairs. The Balgi were very loyal to Leo, but they couldn't manage such a large force, so the Dark Four Heavenly Kings were just what they needed.
Leo picked up Hiruzen, and in the blink of an eye, Galatron had already changed into her everyday clothes and was ready to take him there.
"Have a safe journey." Renlong watched Leo leave as usual. If Alaya were here, she would feel like she had been fed a mouthful of dog food, but Ida Masashi was just very envious.
It is said that one should not meet someone too amazing when one is young, otherwise one's heart will be imprisoned by them for life. She happened to meet Leo, but no matter how precocious she was, she was still just a child, and she dared not think about such things.
The thought that she was older than Leo gave her an inexplicable strange feeling, and she looked at everyone in the family with suspicion.
"Tilis sent word that it is now certain that Volugan has been resurrected, but it is uncertain who is behind him."
"Whether it's the Shadow Mage, Fried Chicken, or that clone of Delacion hiding behind the scenes, let's first talk about the background of this Volugan."
I don't know much about the cosmic Leo over there lately, but since I have Galatrom at home to act as an encyclopedia, it's not a problem at all.
"Vorugan, the former Magma alien admiral, led his legion to conquer L77 and captured Astra. He also invaded D60, leading to the extinction of the Cosmic Beast Fist. However, judging from Diablo's moves, this matter should also be related to the Absolut people."
After listening to Galatron's account, Leo stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, "So, in that case, he and the Leo brothers are mortal enemies."
"It's practically a fight to the death." Galatrom's intelligence was mostly retrieved from the Dark Universe database by the Balky aliens, so its authenticity is guaranteed.
"The former leader of Planet Magma died at the hands of Ultraman Leo, and this Worugan is also their enemy. Should we contact the Land of Light?"
"Let's not use it for now. This Volugan might be a very cautious type. Our available forces will be somewhat limited recently. We can use the Mechanical Legion to train the String Man Captain and the others. It's just Volugan; he can't cause any trouble."
Leo's intuition told him that Volugan wasn't the key to the problem, but something serious was likely to happen soon, and hopefully it wouldn't be too difficult.
"Has the Land of Light sent a message?"
“Not yet, they might not arrive on Arbos for a while.” Galatron knew best what Leo wanted to know. “Besides, we’ve also heard news of Gilbaris’s activity in that universe.”
"Hmm?" Leo was a little surprised. They were still doing things under Gilbaris's name yesterday, but he didn't expect the other party to show up so quickly.
Galatrom's expression clearly darkened when she mentioned Gilbaris. "And, that guy seems to have made a fake of me."
"I reckon he'll be coming to us soon. Let's go, and pick up Uncle Asami and Brother Asuka while we're at it."
Leo leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes in thought. It seemed that the universe over there was more turbulent than he had imagined. Gilbaris had even appeared, so it seemed that the pressure on the Land of Light was immense. He hoped that everything was alright on Planet Arbok... although Leo himself knew that was unlikely.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Father of Ultra and Zoffy, who had arrived on Planet Arbok, frowned. "This is..."
The spot that once belonged to Planet Arbo was now completely empty, but Father of Ultra quickly sensed that there was indeed something there. He and Zoffy used the Ultra Detection Gaze skill to scan the area, and a pitch-black line appeared.
"A line?" The two men leaned forward to see what it was, and Renina's voice reached their ears, "Hey, Father of Ultra and Ultraman Zoffy, what are you two doing here?"
"You're the Leonina that Leo mentioned?" Father of Ultra stared at the line, trying to see what was inside, but the line itself had no thickness; he could only "see" that there was a line there.
“That’s right, it was me. Leo sent you here… Hmm, it seems my child is quite remarkable, even Ultraman listens to him.” Renina scratched her head.
"Don't bother. Sigh, that troublesome guy actually managed to banish Planet Arbos to a one-dimensional space. It'll take some effort to get out." Renina scratched her head. If it were before, she would have gotten out easily, but it took a lot of effort to create Leo in the first place.
"You two don't need to worry about me. Tell Leo to be careful of that guy who calls himself Modius. Also, you two need to be careful yourselves. That guy... might attack the Land of Light. She even has the confidence to not be afraid of the King of Ultra."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Father of Ultra and Zoffy's eyelids twitched. What kind of guy could be so fearless even against the King of Ultra?
Chapter 401 Just a daily task
The ruins that Masaki Keigo excavated were located two thousand meters deep at the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of D City. Previously, after obtaining the power of Evil, and in order to prevent Saijo Military Officer from taking action, Masaki Keigo chose to have the underground shark Gaiozak block the excavated passage.
