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

Page 255

"Plasma Spark?" Leo was so surprised by the news that he forgot his pain for a moment. He even began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his ears. But then more darkness surged up, tightly binding him and trying to drag him into the ocean of darkness.

No, my consciousness is already a bit blurry... Leo is familiar with this feeling. He had this feeling a long time ago when he was fighting Maga the Fire Demon. Strange, it's only been two months, why does it feel like so much time has passed?

So tired... Exhaustion and drowsiness gradually replaced the pain, making Leo want to get a good night's sleep. Thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had rarely relaxed since joining ESCG.

He was constantly worried about how he would face those powerful opponents who were so strong that they made him despair if he wasn't strong enough. He also thought about how to make humanity stronger, since he couldn't rely solely on his own and Ultraman's power.

These worries had been plaguing Leo. He had let go of many things after the incident with King Goldras, but after gradually learning about Grimd, Gatanothor, and the true strength of the Dark Shadow Mage, he couldn't help but worry again.

This is only natural. Facing such pressure, not being worried is not cheerful; it's called being carefree or oblivious. Leo has been anxious for far too long.

As Leo thought this, the darkness of Gatanothor continued to climb up from his feet, binding him tightly, like seaweed entangled around a diver, intending to drown him in the deep sea, leaving him no room for struggle.

Leo's consciousness gradually blurred. He had been fighting all along and had accumulated too much fatigue without even realizing it. Reibrun and the others were not machines, and when these problems erupted, the resulting issues became increasingly apparent.

Yes, Leo was tired. What truly prevented him from escaping this dream was his own exhaustion, his desire to let go of everything and rest for a while, even if it was just for a short time.

Masayuki Mita didn't know if what he was writing would be useful. He just had a feeling that "maybe this is how it is, maybe it can be written this way," as if someone was guiding him in the dark, making him keep writing and adding endings to this out-of-control story.

But... if I really die, what will happen to Renlong and the others? What will happen to Earth?

When such a question arose in Leo's mind, a warm light enveloped him—the last ray of light from Earth.

As the pen paused, Masayuki Mita suddenly remembered something, and a faint light appeared in front of Leo.

Chapter 444 Galactic Sparks

On a typical afternoon, Leo was walking home from school. The setting sun shone warmly on his face. His high school classmates chattered excitedly about the latest tokusatsu drama, whether it was Ultraman or something else. Everyone had something to talk about, and Leo was among them.

"What do you guys like about Ultraman? I like Leo the most, and I want to become a man like him!"

"I like Taro, the sixth Ultraman, the most powerful Ultraman, who can even combine into Super Taro!"

"I still prefer Ace. He's so handsome, has so many skills, and can even wield a sword. It's just that the defense team looks really strange."

"I'm a little worried people will laugh at me, but I like Ultraman Ace, hehe, even though he's not very good-looking and doesn't seem that powerful, I really like him."

"What's so funny about that? Ultraman is a hero, what's wrong with admiring heroes? It has nothing to do with what he looks like or how strong he is, right?" As he spoke, the classmate turned around again, "Leo, which Ultraman do you like?"

“Me? Hmm, I like… well, I like them all. After all, they’re all heroes, each with their own strengths. But I like Jack a little more, probably because I like sunsets more.” Leo replied with a smile.

"That's such a romantic statement! But liking the sunset means liking the end of school, right?" The classmate's offbeat answer made everyone laugh. Leo didn't deny it; he did look forward to chatting with everyone like this after school, walking home together on the same road.

No, that's not right. Aside from the occasional walk together after I met Kirino Makio, most of the time I walk home alone. No one wants to walk with me, and no one wants to discuss things that others would consider childish.

"By the way, is there a new Ultraman series airing tomorrow night? How about we all come over to my house to watch it together? My mom is a great cook, especially you, Leo. She said she really wants to thank you for tutoring me in math."

"Tomorrow? Sure."

How could such a thing be possible? Not to mention inviting him, even his classmates' parents would warn them to stay away from him. Although Leo has become more restrained, he has been plagued by all sorts of rumors since childhood: alien, mutant, monster, he has many titles.

"Goodbye." Leo waved to his classmates as he walked down Xingxiu Street, watching them go. He then waved to the buckwheat noodle stall owner as a farewell.

That's not right either. Obik had already disappeared by this time. Leo tried to find him, but couldn't find any trace of him, as if he had never existed.

Good afternoon, Mr. Moroboshi.

"Oh, Leo, you're back from school already. How was school today?"

"Okay, that's great! You got first place in the whole school in today's exam. Here's your certificate."

Leo showed off the certificate in his hand, and Dan Moroboshi gave him a thumbs up. Yes, it's true. Leo's grades have always been among the top in the school since he was a child, so even if they don't like him, no school would dislike a student with such excellent grades who doesn't cause trouble.

Leo waved goodbye and passed by Meifei's jewelry shop. The door was closed, so it seemed that Meifei had gone on another business trip. He wondered what interesting things she would bring back this time.

"Uncle Go, Uncle Sakata, is the new car still not finished?" Leo asked, looking at Hideki Go and Ken Sakata, who were frowning as they held the design drawings. "Jiro's race isn't far off, is it?"

"Yes, the qualifiers start around next week. We need to get the car modified before then. By the way, Leo, would you like to come over for dinner? Your Aunt Akiko made a lot of delicious food today."

"No need, Grandma Asami told me to go home early today." Hearing Leo say this, Hideki Go slapped his forehead, "Oh right, today is your birthday! Oh my god, I completely forgot! What a terrible memory I have!"

"Not today, it's tomorrow. It's just that Kawai-nii is going to university tomorrow and won't be able to come with me, so I'm doing it a day early. Ah, good afternoon, Yato Takeshi-sensei!"

After greeting all the elders, Leo quickened his pace toward the shrine, his steps becoming increasingly light. Even as he reached the shrine's gate, Torii Kan couldn't help but shout, "I'm back!"

"Oh, you're back so early today?" Masao Asami was tending to the plants in the yard. When he saw Leo, he quickly patted off the dirt. "You got out of school early?"

"We'll be doing a big clean-up this afternoon," Leo said, glancing unconsciously at the huge ancient tree behind Masao Asami. He thought it would be a good place to build a wooden house, and wondered if they could raise some fish in the pond.

Leo was a little confused about why he had so many thoughts in his mind. He instinctively stood at the door for a while, as if waiting for something, then shook his head, not understanding why he was doing this. He just walked into the house and couldn't help but take another look at the wooden floor. It felt... not sturdy enough?

The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen. Leo peeked through the doorway and saw Grandma Asami busy at work. "Leo, you're out of school? Wait a little longer, it'll be ready soon."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Grandma. I'll be there to help soon. Where's Chuanhe?" Leo glanced at the food subconsciously, a thought popping into his head. Although it looked delicious, there was so little... was it really enough for everyone?

"She went shopping. She'll need to buy a lot of things for her new school. She should be back soon," Grandma Asami said casually. Leo didn't think much of it and simply went back to his room and put down his schoolbag.

Something seemed to be missing. Leo felt he should install more cameras in his room, but then he felt something was missing as well. The drawer was still full of the same amount of snacks as when he left this morning, but Leo always felt that someone in the house was stealing his snacks, so he would fill it up every time he came back.

Asami Kawa returned quickly, and Leo and his good brother hugged each other warmly. The food was ready, and the four of them sat at the table. Leo suddenly realized that the house was so spacious, so why was he subconsciously shrinking?

I'm not used to having nothing in my arms anymore. Mealtimes are too quiet, I'm not used to that either. I always feel like it should be more chaotic, more lively, with more people...

"Leo." A voice suddenly sounded behind him, so familiar that Leo almost stood up.

“Ren?” Leo subconsciously uttered this name that he himself could not understand, but the moment the name left his mouth, he understood everything.

Holding his bowl and chopsticks, Leo looked at the three people in front of him repeating the same actions. Among them, Asami Kawai's movements were the most stiff, like a robot, while Asami Masao's were like a puppet. Only Asami Kazumi's movements were the most natural, as if she were really alive.

But this was only because Leo knew her best. Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but mock himself, "In the end, it's just a dream that I can't even fool myself, yet I'm willing to immerse myself in it."

"Is this what you wanted, such a simple and peaceful life?"

A familiar voice came from behind, but Leo knew that the person could not possibly be Renlong; he was just someone who looked the same as the person he loved. "To be more precise, it's the person I once wanted."

"Grandma and I grew up relying on each other. Life wasn't hard, but it was very lonely. Grandma lost her husband and son, and I could only learn about them from her stories."

"So I've always thought that if my family could be happy together, would Grandma be happier? And if I weren't Rei Brown, would I have more friends?"

Leo turned around and looked at "Renlong," who had the same appearance and voice as his lover, and even the same aloof temperament. He subconsciously recalled the first day he met Ren.

"What should I call you, Earth?"

"As you know, the Earth died 30 million years ago. I am just the remaining light of the earth in the Dragon Ball, to convey a final message and to help you at some point. But now it seems... you are well aware of your situation."

At this point, "Renlong" couldn't help but look surprised. She thought Leo would be trapped in the dream that Gatanothor had created for him, but she didn't expect that Leo would break free on his own. This was only the beginning of the dream.

"I'm sorry you had to see this. I know my situation is dangerous, but... I just wanted to see this scene a little longer." Leo knew very well that the Chaos virus and the darkness of Gatanothor were both eroding from the surface of the dream into the inner mind.

“I can understand.” “Renlong,” the incarnation of the light of the earth, said calmly, “In my last moments before I died, I was also looking at my children, hoping that they could truly live a good and happy life.”

Unfortunately, it was a complete scam, and the resulting disaster and its lasting impact continue to threaten everyone to this day.

How did you realize something was wrong with this dream?

"...Maybe I'm just used to it. Without those noisy girls in the family, this house doesn't feel like a home."

Leo smiled and pointed to the tree outside the house. "Magabasa's treehouse is covered with precious stones she prepared for me. She said it's our love nest. Dimaga likes to raise fish in the pond in the backyard, but he often catches Kodara when he goes fishing."

"The wooden floor couldn't withstand Ereshkigal's damage any longer, so Galatron replaced it with high-strength metal. She's a perfect maid. If it weren't for the fact that she puts a locator in every single one of my clothes, it would be even better if there were at least five cameras in the room at different angles."

“Jerton is the biggest eater in the family, but she has to put up with it for the sake of her image, so I always fill the cabinets in her room and the Extreme Fighting Machine with snacks, so she can eat as much as she wants here.”

"Tyrant has a warlike personality, but she is particularly patient with children and is expected to become the fifth nanny. The third is Tilis and the fourth is Golza."

"Little Gatan likes to sit in my lap while eating. There are too many people in the house, so it's still crowded. I have to make a lot of food every time. Gorgorgon and Hilbagun are now top-level chefs."

Leo's smile grew brighter as he spoke. He was already used to these everyday things. He admitted that he liked this kind of dream. He really hoped to live happily with Grandma Asami's family, but he also understood that it was just a dream after all.

But in reality, he would have to talk about this for ages now. The girls at home would be enough to keep him talking for a long time, not to mention those who aren't home often, like Barbossa, Mioko, Chaura, and Helotia, as well as Balki.

Of course, the little guy who always mutters "I'm not strong enough yet, but when I'm strong I should change" won't forget the generous and open-minded Aojie'er, and the cunning Jet...

And his teammates, although they always leave him to fight a group of AI alone, are all very reliable. TPC is certainly a heavy workload, but every time they see the casualty figures decrease, everyone is genuinely happy.

“If this had happened a little over a month ago, this dream could have really trapped me, but… Gatanothor obviously doesn’t want them to appear in my dream, as that would only make me realize immediately that the dream is fake.”

"But then again, I've always been unwilling to wake up, perhaps because I myself hope that I can truly live in such a simple and ordinary dream."

Leo reached out his hand, and dark sparks quietly appeared on his empty hand, but it was different. The pain of being torn and eroded returned, but Leo enjoyed the pain, because pain itself was the best proof of being alive.

When Leo realized that the reality he lived in already had so many entanglements, the dream could no longer hold him back. When he truly let go, the dark spark in his hand also changed.

Masayuki Mita gradually slowed down his writing pace. Now that he could write a script and the plot was out of control, he might as well be a little bolder.

He also found a solution to Leo's problem.

The Dark Spark and the Galactic Spark are inherently one, inseparable. When Leo's awakening and conviction ignited the fire within his heart, light gradually burst forth from within the Dark Spark. Only then did Leo understand that the so-called Dark Spark was actually the Galactic Spark.

At this moment, he raised the Galaxy Spark high, transforming for the first time into...

Masayuki Mita suddenly stopped. He flipped the script to the front and filled in the blank space left by himself in the Zero World, which was a parallel universe in the same universe as Leo, with the most reasonable answer.

Meanwhile, in his dream, Leo held the Galaxy Spark in his hand, and a new Ultraman Spark doll appeared in his hand, accompanied by the gentle touch of Koshiel hugging him from behind, and the soft, comforting voice of the girl.

"Although it's a bit of a shortcut, there's nothing Leo can do about it. Let's just consider it a trial period to get to know each other better. Leo, this is just a trial period."

“I know.” Leo nodded gently. After all, this was just a dream, but since it was a dream, it should be up to the person who dreamed it to decide.

[Ultraman materializes and merges, Ultraman Ginga, plasma radiance!]

Chapter 445 The Lei Family's Ancestral Passive Skill

That's all there is to it. Masayuki Mita put down his pen. With several screenwriters vying for it, the script in front of him had been written down to the last page. The remaining part was not enough to bring a story to a proper conclusion, let alone a story that had already spiraled out of control.

Therefore, Masayuki Mita had to resort to some special methods to try and fill in the already dilapidated situation with a possible future.

As Leo broke free from the dream of this obsession, the flame in his heart burned ever brighter. He shouted loudly, and the dark sparks, in the intense light, shed their original pitch-black color, transforming into the form of galaxy-like sparks.

The Dark Spark and the Galaxy Spark are inherently one. Leo, having obtained the Dark Spark, also possesses the qualification to use the Galaxy Spark. Although he can only complete the process of transforming darkness into light by relying on the power of dreams, even if it only happens once, it is enough.

[In this light that can illuminate the universe, all evil will be dispelled, and everything will come to an end in the light. Standing tall in the light, the Ultraman who radiates a warm and gentle glow, is named...]

"Ultraman Ginga!?" Upon seeing the words "Ultraman Ginga" pop up on the script, Rukiel immediately exploded, "What the hell is this Ultraman Ginga Spark?!"

So that's how it is. No wonder I always felt a bit heavy-headed, besides my worries and anxieties about Leo. Luciel's eyes blazed with burning flames, and she clenched her fists, wishing she could rush into the innermost part of the script right now and beat up Koshiel.

However, Luciel had to admit that this time it was really thanks to Korshiel, otherwise Leo's situation would have been truly dangerous.

The moment Leo transformed into Galaxy, the energy bursting from his body instantly ignited something. The plasma spark energy, suppressed and eroded by Gatanothor's darkness and the Chaos virus, then erupted, and the intense light annihilated the darkness and the virus.

Intense, blue-green light enveloped the entire dream world in an instant, but the light was not dazzling; instead, it was very soft and warm. The light fell into the room where Masatoshi Yuda was. He walked to the window and looked at the giant of light that stood proudly on the earth.

“Ultraman Ginga…” Although he had some negative opinions about the Ultraman series after the old Heisei era, Masayuki Mita did not dislike Ultraman himself. Ultraman Ginga was the only one who could reasonably appear and bring an end to all of this.

The red and silver patterns on his body were symmetrical. His face combined divine majesty with human handsomeness. His profile was sharp and clean, with a straight nose and eyes that shone with a restrained light, outlining a resolute posture under the starry sky.

But what truly captivates the viewer is the blue crystals embedded all over his body—from his forehead and shoulders to his limbs, these plasma spark energy crystals surge with immense energy, flickering and shimmering with Leo's breath as if they possess a life of their own, like a dazzling aurora borealis that is impossible to look away from.

Powerful, an unprecedented power. Even when he transformed into Dark Lugiel and combined Emperor and Lugoset, Leo didn't feel this way. He now felt that he could do anything, and his power was his greatest asset.

"Of course." Ke Xi'er appeared beside Leo with her hands on her hips, looking very proud. "Leo, you already have a plasma spark core inside you, which has the highest compatibility with the Galaxy Spark. Naturally, the Ultraman Ginga you transform into is also the strongest."

"If it weren't for the fact that the ultimate darkness within you is too vast, and that recklessly using it might lead to being corrupted by its negative energy, your transformation into Dark Lugiel certainly wouldn't be limited to that level. After all, that's the kind of relationship we have."

As Ke Xi'er spoke calmly, Leo tried to clench his fist. Now he understood why Ke Xi'er kept saying it wasn't time to get the Galactic Spark yet. The darkness within him needed the light of the Plasma Spark to balance it, and his light also needed this darkness to suppress it.

While the plasma sparks within Leo's body couldn't compare to those from the Land of Light, they were still a force so powerful that Leo doubted he could directly confront Gatanothor's true form.

But that's because this is a dream world. If this were in reality, if the light energy that burst out from Leo's body just now had spread all over the world, all of humanity might have been affected and changed by this energy. Perhaps some of them could have become Ultraman, but the number of people who would have died would be an incalculable number.

Humans are not yet able to control this power, and even Leo himself cannot. He is in this dream and can only maintain a temporary balance of his power by relying on the dream itself.

Chaos Super Taro was blasted away by Leo's light. He sprang to his feet and roared as he charged toward him. Chaos Super Taro had completely lost his mind and wanted to beat up anyone he didn't like.

Leo didn't even glance at Chaos Taro. He simply raised his hand and sent him flying again with a telekinetic attack. Following that, the plasma spark crystal on his left hand turned yellow, and a spiraling dark cloud appeared above Chaos Super Taro. Then, a massive pillar of lightning fell.

This attack severely injured Chaos Super Taro, but his powerful vitality allowed him to stand up again and gradually recover. Just as he got into a fighting stance, Leo arrived in front of him, flicking out a white plasma blade with his right hand, which pierced through Chaos Super Taro's body.

Chaos Super Taro didn't even have a chance to fight back. He wanted to retaliate, but found that his body was beginning to stiffen. The energy from the Galactic Sword was turning him into a Spark Doll, but this was supposed to be the power of the Dark Spark.

The tentacles in the sky attacked Leo again, trying to stop him. The plasma crystal on Leo's forehead turned red, and a spike-like ball of light appeared in his hand, which transformed into countless spiked light bullets that chased after Gatanothor's tentacles. This was an imitation of Lugoset's creation rain.

Chaos Super Taro realized that Leo wanted to turn him into a Spark Doll and struggled to escape, but it was impossible. He could no longer transform into light particles. With a determined heart, his whole body burst into purple flames.

Even if it means death, he would rather die than become this guy's puppet. Chaos Super Taro squeezed out all his energy, leaving nothing behind, and he did not intend to be used by Modius.

This made Leo think more highly of him. Although he was a pawn that could be used and discarded at will by Modius, he still had some merits.

"But do you think I'd let you die so easily?" Leo said something that didn't suit his status, making Ke Xi'er nudge his arm, thinking to herself, "You're Ultraman now, can't you be a little more mindful of your image?"
