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

Page 245

As she spoke, Chiaki Konaka pointed to screenwriter Mita, who was sleeping on the table, and said, "Look at Mita, he's still sleeping."

The two people here are quite harmonious. After all, there really is a Tiga on this Earth, and Leo has also revealed the matter of the ancient times, so everyone knows something about it. The script and world-building are also very easy to understand, so there shouldn't be any problems.

But it was a different story for Chiaki Konaka and Hasegawa. Leo looked at the two of them and felt that they were arguing about whether or not to join another Ultraman.

"No, I don't agree. We agreed that there would only be one Ultraman. If we add another one, wouldn't that turn it into a family-style hero setting? I hate that kind of thing."

Chiaki Konaka makes no secret of his preferences; he dislikes the family-based setting of the Ultra Brothers, believing it diminishes the mystery and unpredictability of Ultraman.

"We're not creating a hero who's only divine; he has to be both Ultraman and human." Hasegawa slammed his fist on the table, clearly getting angry.

"That's no excuse for using this method to highlight humanity. Without the so-called family-based approach, Ultraman's human side cannot be shown. This is a sign of the screenwriter's incompetence!"

As Chiaki Konaka spoke, he became increasingly excited. "A good plot should be able to establish the characters, convey what we want to express, and resonate with people."

"If all you add to a character are labels like brave, upright, and full of love, and all you talk about is smiles and peace, and nothing else, then that character is just an empty puppet!"

Seeing that the two were almost about to fight, Leo glanced at Masatoshi Mita, who was sleeping. This screenwriter had a relatively light workload, but it was also the most arduous. If the opening was not good, the rest would be terrible. How could he fall asleep like this?

"Alright, alright, you two, let me explain." Leo pressed down on the two men, his strength so great that their shoulders ached, and they couldn't even stand up, being forced down.

Leo released his grip and poured a cup of tea for the two of them. "Let me share my opinion. I don't agree with adding other Ultramen, and I certainly don't support having other Ultramen permanently on the main cast."

"The overall tone of this Ultraman Tiga series has been set. Introducing another Ultraman would likely require a significant amount of screen time for character development, which would shake the overall tone."

"However, we've also said we want to create a protagonist who is both human and Ultraman, so Ultraman's mystique will definitely be affected. He can't just be a deus ex machina needed in the script like before, and..."

A sudden sense of alertness flashed through Leo's mind, and he stopped speaking. The two children in front of him, Chiaki Konaka and Hasegawa, seemed to have turned into dolls, sitting blankly in their chairs with empty eyes, and everything around them was shrouded in a dreamlike and hazy color.

"What's going on?" Leo turned around and pushed open the door, only to find the outside world was just as bright, with the sky filled with dreamlike aurora borealis. Leo seemed to hear something flapping its wings, like... a butterfly?

The dark spark in his arms grew intensely hot, as if warning Leo of something. After Leo realized that the sound of flapping wings was the sound of butterflies, he saw butterflies in his eyes, paper butterflies cut out of paper, connected by strings and thin stems from who-knows-where.

Leo suddenly remembered that a long time ago, he and Grandma Asami had gone to see a theatrical performance, which was about an ancient story that had been passed down in Asia.

An ancient philosopher once dreamed that he had become a butterfly. Upon waking, he was puzzled: Did I become a butterfly in my dream, or did the butterfly become me in its dream? Am I now in reality, or in the butterfly's dream?

The performance left a deep impression on young Leo, who wondered if he might be a character in the butterfly's dream, but he never thought about it again as he grew up.

"So that's how it is, it was a dream..." Leo reacted quickly and immediately realized the problem.

[Supervisor Leo realized that everything here was a dream, and he himself was trapped in this dream world. However, he didn't know to whom this dream belonged, only that the enemy wanted to trap him...]

"What should I do?" Masayuki Mita, who had just woken up, was a little troubled. The main scriptwriting for Ultraman Tiga had been handed over to others, but he couldn't sit idle. He had to write the script for the Tiga movie, which was entirely his responsibility.

In the script of "Ultraman Tiga", the character Leo occupies a large part. He is responsible for guiding the key character Daigo, the protagonist. Therefore, Kazuo Tsuburaya decided to make a short theatrical version with him as the starting point.

In Masayuki Mida's vision, Leo Nix, the deputy director of TPC, is plotted against by a mastermind (whose name is yet to be decided) while investigating a certain matter or person. The mastermind wants to merge the two worlds and use the influence between the worlds to eliminate his enemy.

He merged with a director from Tsuburaya Productions in another world where Ultraman and monsters are merely fantasy, namely Asami Leo. When he was awake during the day, he was Leo Nix, the deputy director of TPC, and when he was asleep at night, he was Director Asami.

It was a brilliant idea, but writing it was incredibly time-consuming. Masayuki Mita recently stayed up all night working on it, and even found himself with a large section of the story after waking up several times, forcing him to delete and revise it repeatedly.

"However, Leo is just an ordinary person. Even if he discovers the problem, he won't be able to break through the predicament. So why should we make him do it?"

Masama Mita was at a loss for what to do. He had no idea that the script he was writing, or even more so, that the two worlds within it had perfectly trapped Leo himself.

After hesitating for a long time, Masayuki Mita chose to give up thinking, "As... Ultraman?"

As he spoke, Masayuki Mita wrote "[Trap Leo as Ultraman]" on the script, leaving it blank. He hadn't even figured out how to fill in the blanks yet, let alone the name.

After writing a little more, Masatoshi Mita yawned, stood up, and prepared to go back to his dormitory. He was really sleepy now and just wanted to get a good night's sleep.

Chapter 417 The Land of Light is Attacked

"What exactly happened to Leo?" Yako leaned back in her chair, unable to understand how Leo, with his strength and vigilance, could have been trapped by the enemy so easily.

"If they already have this ability, why wait until now?" Yako chewed on the Tower of Babel, pondering for a while. "Could it be that the other party also has some kind of limitation? He can only trap Boss Leo, but can't make a move?"

"Or perhaps, their goal is to trap Boss Leo, since he is very strong, and then use that time to attack Earth?"

No, the known information is indeed too little for Ayako to deduce anything more useful, but she is certain that the mastermind behind the scenes is not powerful enough to overwhelm Leo's safety.

Galatron has activated all its detectors, working tirelessly to detect any possible anomalies throughout Earth and even the solar system in order to prevent enemy attacks. Meanwhile, everyone is searching for clues related to Leo, including the ESCG personnel.

Surprisingly, Leo was not completely forgotten. For example, everyone in Hoshinogashi, including Dr. Tango and Dr. Otomo, still clearly remembered Leo's existence. They also realized that there was a problem and were investigating in various places.

Ako, still puzzled, looked at Galatron, who seemed lost in thought. She figured Galatron's core was probably overheating by now. "Galatron, if they only want to trap Boss Leo and aren't attacking Earth, then what is their objective?"

The mastermind behind the scenes can't keep Leo trapped forever. With the Dark Spark in his hands, the body of ultimate darkness, and the powerful mental strength of a Reiblood, Leo will break free from his confinement sooner or later.

As for separating Leo and dealing with him alone? That would be redundant. Leo carries the Dark Spark with him, which contains the Spark Dolls of Lugoset and Dark Saigogu. With these two things stacked on top of each other, Leo's strength would be enough to easily defeat the undead Gua.

“The enemy’s goal is to trap Leo, not to launch an attack on Earth.” Galatrom’s expression gradually darkened, and Ako stroked her chin. “Then what is his objective?”

"MK2 from the Land of Light lost contact just now."

The entire control room fell into a deathly silence. The only sound was the sound of Ayako's lollipop falling to the ground. Her mouth was wide open, and it took her a while to react. "My God... no, who did this?"

Ako never imagined in her life that anyone would dare to directly attack the Land of Light. Over the years, only Emperor and Belial had dared to directly attack the Land of Light. Apart from them, there were only Alien Baltan and Alien Empire, who directly declared war on the Land of Light.

Moreover, even MK2 has lost signal. Keep in mind that MK2 and Bishop Gloca can combine to become MK3, whose power is no less than that of Ozil and others. There are also Taro and others in the Land of Light.

"Balki, I'm giving you a task." Galatron didn't have time to think and contacted Balki directly. Balki, who had just heard that Salome had been attacked, immediately realized the urgency of the situation. "Your subordinate is here and ready to obey your orders."

"Send someone to check out the Land of Light. Be careful, and remember to bring Bishop Gloca with you." Galatron remembered that when Leo went to that universe last time, he brought several Bishop Gloca units with him, which he left with Balki to keep things under control.

"Received." Balgi's heart sank. He knew the Land of Light very well. Did Galatrom's decision to send him there mean something might have happened?

But what kind of person would dare to attack the Land of Light? After joining Leo's ranks, Balgi learned many secrets, including the fact that the legendary King of Ultra truly exists and can be considered the protector of the Land of Light.

Even with the King of Ultra present, the Land of Light could still be attacked, and the situation was so urgent that Galactron contacted him directly. This mission is likely to be very dangerous, and he might even die there.

Balki looked at the virtual dark sparks and spark puppets in his hands. He was now a prominent figure in the universe, the ruler of a force, but he would never forget that it was Leo's appreciation that brought him to his current position.

A man would die for one who understands him; Balgi's life had been worthwhile. He looked at the Four Dark Kings, whom Leo had sent to assist him, and said, "Mefilas, I'm leaving this place to you. If I don't return, you four kings will take over my position."

“We’ll go too.” Grozam patted his chest. “My strength isn’t bad either.”

“No, since Lord Galatron specifically asked me to bring Bishop Gloca along, it proves that the enemy’s strength is by no means inferior. You alone are not enough.”

Balki waved his hand and left immediately. He was going to see what was going on in the Land of Light. Fortunately, they were nearby and it wouldn't take long to get there.

Just as Balgi was about to take action, on Planet Thor, the King of Ultra also raised his head in confusion, "Hmm?"

"What's wrong, King?" Leo and Astra looked at the King of Ultra, whose aura had changed. They had known the King of Ultra for so many years, but this was the first time they had seen this gentle and kind legendary being display such an aura that made it difficult for people to even breathe.

"Leo, Estella, you two need to get to the Land of Light right now, something might have happened there."

These words greatly surprised Leo and Astra. With the Dark Emperor overthrown, the Juda siblings have entered the countdown to resurrection again, and even Reiblood and Belial have been dealt with. Who would dare to attack the Land of Light? The Zettons or the Baltans?

But if they were just Zettonians and Baltanians, how could the king's aura be so powerful? Leo and Astra were filled with doubt, but they still nodded honestly and flew towards the Land of Light.

After the two left, the King of Ultra turned around and looked at the strange, gaunt woman standing on the cliff not far away. "You finally showed up."

"Sigh, I'm tired of hiding for so long." Modius looked at the King of Ultra. "Didn't you want to get rid of me, this hidden danger, completely? When Ultraman Max made his move, you were secretly preparing to strike, weren't you? Now you're not going to do it?"

"You want me to take action, don't you?" The King of Ultra's aura gradually rose, but as Modius said, even if he could easily destroy this projection, it wouldn't change anything, because Modius was not in this world.

Moreover, even the King of Ultra himself couldn't leave Planet Thor. Modius seemed somewhat regretful, "What a pity. I was thinking how interesting it would have been if you had directly destroyed my projection. That would have been quite a sight."

"But you've also noticed, haven't you? This planet Thor has become one of the points where two universes merge. If you use too much power here, the two universes will explode and begin to collapse."

Modius was not exaggerating. The King of Ultra himself could sense that this universe was getting closer to the one that sealed the ultimate darkness. Not only could he not intervene or leave, he even had to stay here to prevent the two universes from merging.

Otherwise, the collision of two universes would cause a catastrophe that would affect at least dozens of universes, resulting in countless deaths.

"That Dark Shadow Mage was driven to desperation. If it weren't for him, I really wouldn't know how to ensure you couldn't escape, since some rules no longer apply to beings at your level."

Modius did consider dealing with the King of Ultra in the same way he dealt with Leo, but the King of Ultra had lived for too long, and who knew if he had other tricks up his sleeve? So Modius decided on a relatively safer approach.

Similarly, she knew that her time was running out and she had to act quickly. That dream might not be able to trap Leo, and there was nothing she could do about it. Dreams will eventually end, and that is a universal truth that Modius could not shake.

"...By relying on an unfinished script by a playwright, connecting a world, and then casting him into that world, he is trapped in this way?"

"Don't underestimate me, my power is not just that." Modius's lips curled up. "Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly. People who can't distinguish between dreams and reality will be trapped in dreams. That world without Ultraman is actually the most useful."

What is your purpose?

"It's just destruction." Modius's figure gradually faded away. "All dreams will eventually end, and everything in the dream must be destroyed."

Chapter 418 Ultraman Chaos

After receiving the news from Renina, Father of Ultra and Zoffy rushed to the Land of Light without stopping. None of the Ultra signatures sent to the Land of Light received a response, which meant that the situation might have become extremely bad.

The two felt a chill in their hearts. If the mastermind behind this was really as Renina said, someone who was not even afraid of the King of Ultra, then the disaster facing the Land of Light might even surpass the invasion of the Dark Emperor Empera.

"Captain, look over there!" Father of Ultra looked in the direction Zoffy was pointing and saw Astra and Leo approaching them. The two sides reunited and continued flying towards the Land of Light without stopping.

"Astra, Leo, what are you doing here?"

"The King of Ultra sent us to the Land of Light. He said something big is happening there and he wants us to go help. Captain, Zoffy, what are you two doing here?"

Leo hadn't expected that Father of Ultra and Zoffy wouldn't meet here instead of in the Land of Light. Upon hearing this, Father of Ultra's unease deepened.

"If it's a crisis that would even alarm the King of Ultra, then the Land of Light is truly in danger this time. However... I didn't expect that the other side would actually have a way to prevent the King of Ultra from taking action."

Generally speaking, the King of Ultra is aware of everything that happens within this vast universe. Major crises are managed by the King of Ultra. When the Emperor Alien invaded, the King of Ultra chose to stand by because he witnessed the growth of the Father of Ultra.

When Belial fell into darkness and wreaked havoc in the Land of Light, it was the first time the King of Ultra had ever intervened in recorded history. He didn't have to get involved in the subsequent war between Alien Baltan and the Land of Light. But this time... it's not that the King of Ultra didn't want to, but that he couldn't.

"Captain, do you have any leads on the enemy this time?"

"That's the problem. We don't even know who the enemy is." Father of Ultra said helplessly, but no matter what kind of being the enemy is, we need to be on high alert.

The four flew very fast, mainly because Leo had a cape given to him by the King of Ultra, which allowed him to quickly reach the Land of Light. However, halfway there, they unexpectedly encountered Balgi, who was being instructed by Galatron to go to the Land of Light.

When the two sides met face to face, Leo and Astra instinctively assumed a fighting stance. However, Father of Ultra looked at Bishop Gloca next to Balgi, placed his hand on Leo and Astra's shoulders, and asked, "Are you one of Nix's men?"

“…I see. No wonder Lord Galatron sent me to the Land of Light to provide support.” Balki also realized what was going on and signaled to Bishop Gloca to lower his guard. “Although I really want to ask some questions, let’s hurry over there now.”

The Kingdom of Light was in peril, and every second of delay could mean missing the chance for rescue. Without further ado, everyone rushed toward the Kingdom of Light. To conserve energy, they even had Bishop Gloca carry them by flying, making their speed even faster.

During this time, Balgi suppressed his confusion, assuming that Leo was so powerful that even the Land of Light had connections with him. Looking at Balgi, Zoffy and Father of Ultra finally understood why this guy could become the leader of a major cosmic power.

This time, Balgi didn't bring anyone with him because he understood that no matter how many of his men he had, they wouldn't be enough to deal with an enemy that could put the Land of Light in danger. It was better to preserve his strength. He was willing to die for Leo, but he wouldn't force his brothers to do the same.

In just a few minutes, Bishop Gloca led everyone to the vicinity of the Land of Light, and was immediately shocked by the scene before them.

The once radiant planet, like a cosmic jewel, is now dim, with smoke and the flames of explosions emanating from all directions. Balki reaches out and catches the head of Galaoguma, which is drifting in space. "Input command, Balki, read data."

Galakoma's eyes lit up, projecting an image: a seven-colored light suddenly appeared from the universe, instantly piercing through the Land of Light's defenses, destroying Galakoma, and striking the Land of Light directly, causing a violent explosion.

“There’s more than one enemy.” Father of Ultra noticed that various important locations in the Land of Light had been attacked. “Leo and Astra go to the Tower of Ultra, Balgi and Zoffy go to the Second Tower of Ultra, and I’ll go to the Plasma Spark Tower.”

After the distribution was completed, everyone dispersed and headed to various key locations in the Land of Light. The once prosperous Land of Light was now a scene of shattered ruins, but judging from the time, it had only been a few minutes. Weren't Taro and Eddie stationed in the Land of Light?

Leo and Astra's gaze swept over and saw that the Second Torch Tower of the Land of Light was suddenly shaken by a violent explosion, and then collapsed just like when the Babar aliens invaded.

The two glanced down and saw Powered and many Ultramen from the Space Garrison lying unconscious on the ground. The massive energy they had just witnessed must have been caused by Powered's Super Specium Ray.

Powered's opponent made the two of them doubt their own eyes even more. Astra clearly remembered that the person in front of him should still be on Earth. "Seven and Ace, how did they get here?!"

Ultraman Seven and Ultraman Ace, but unlike the original image, the red markings on their bodies have turned grayish-black, the silver markings have dimmed, and their faces are covered with eerie patterns.

“No, they’re not Seven and Ace, they’re fakes.” Leo shook his head. Astra quickly noticed the Ultra Key in the fake Seven’s hand, and his expression turned grim.

The Ultra Key is also one of the most important treasures of the Land of Light. It is responsible for controlling the operation of the entire Ultra Star, including gravity, planetary orbits, and more importantly, the power of this thing... it can destroy a planet with a single blow.

However, Astra noticed that her brother Leo's eyes were fixed on the fake Seven, and he seemed very excited. Right, her brother had been trained by Seven to become stronger, and they were very close, so he was probably angry to see someone daring to impersonate Seven.

"Astra, let's go!"

As Leo and Astra rushed forward, on the other side of the Tower of Ultra, Balgi and Zoffy also saw their opponents. Great had collapsed from exhaustion, and only Ultraman Ace was struggling to hold on. In front of Ultraman Ace were the same Dark Zoffy and Dark Ultraman.

Bishop Gloca scanned the area and then issued a mechanical voice, "Warning, Chaos reaction detected."

"The Chaos reaction?" Balki had only heard of it before; this was the first time he had seen the Chaos virus. Bishop Groka quickly came up with an analysis: "And the Salome aliens' technology as well."

"...So who dared to attack Planet Salome yesterday?" Now Balgi understood; it turned out they were after the mechanical replicas of the Ultra Brothers.

Zoffy's gaze fell on his mechanical clone, or rather, the Ultra Bell in Chaos Zoffy's hand, which was corroded by the light of the Chaos virus. "Be careful of the Ultra Bell in his hand."

“I’ll deal with Chaos the First, the other one is yours.” Balgi was quite confident in Bishop Groca’s strength, and he also had a life-saving measure given to him by Leo.

“No problem.” Zoffy shielded Eddie behind him, looking at Chaos Ultra and Chaos Zoffy. The powerful aura emanating from them told him that this battle was likely to be quite risky.

On the other side of the Plasma Spark Tower, fragments of MK2, Bishop Groca, and even MK3 were scattered all over the ground. Taro was sent flying backward, feeling only pain in his chest, before being caught and slowly put down.

Taro turned around and looked at the person who had come in with surprise, "Father."
