"Oh, it's called a sudden power surge or a berserk state. I know this well. When important people or things are threatened, people will unleash tremendous power. That's how it's portrayed on TV."
"What is television?" Gomora asked instinctively, only to be met with a look from Gadi as if he were watching a cosmic monster. Oh, Gadi is the cosmic monster.
"No way, you've never even watched TV? How old are you?" This question stunned Gomora. He then counted on his fingers, trying to recall the answer in his mind, "...I think I'm not even a month old yet."
"Oh, you're so small! Come on, let me take you to watch TV. My house is quite big; they even installed a big screen for me."
It's called a big screen, but it's not that big. Compared to Gadi's size, it's more like a tablet. But little Gadi is easily satisfied, and this is enough for him. Perhaps influenced by Leo, the family's favorite show is Ultraman. Who would have thought?
Raymond was unaware of what had happened, and he couldn't understand what Gadi and Gomora were talking about. He could only sense that Gomora was in a good mood. "Dr. Otomo, could I have one of those portable language translators?"
"That? Of course, no problem. It was Vice Captain Leo who asked me to get it for you. He said that if you can communicate more with your monster, you might become stronger, but you still need to fight more."
Dr. Otomo adjusted his glasses, then, as if struck by a thought, pulled a monster capsule from his pocket. "How about it? Want to have a go at my Neozars?"
"Forget it, forget it." Raymond decisively shook his head. He had just learned from Musashi, who happened to be passing by, that Dr. Otomo had created Neozars.
Standing at a towering 83 meters, this behemoth possesses strength comparable to King Silvergon, a defense so strong that even the Ultra-Temperature Difference Ray can barely penetrate it, and its spiked body makes it impossible for enemies to find a way to attack. Its entire body is enveloped in Specia's shield.
Its tail can fire a barrage of projectiles similar to Lugoset's apocalyptic light rain, and it can also serve as a highly agile weapon. Furthermore, it can absorb all light energy and convert it into its own power, as well as evolve into a super-temperature-differential ray-tracing version of Lagras. It can fire in rapid succession.
Simply put, Raymond, who could slap Gomora to the ground and leave it unable to get up for a long time, didn't want to create trouble for himself. He even thought of something, "Dr. Otomo, could you make me a Neozars too?"
“No.” Dr. Otomo said calmly, “It’s not that I’m stingy, but creating Neozars requires a lot of monster cell fusion samples, and these need to be approved by Vice Captain Leo.”
"Moreover, even if you can gather all the materials, it will take a lot of effort to cultivate Neozas. The success rate is not high, and the growth ceiling is also very limited. Neozas has power that surpasses Dark Sword Demaga, but it is impossible for it to reach the level of Razor Demaga."
"Based on Vice Captain Leo and our assessment of you, Raymond, although your potential is not as great as Nix's, you can definitely evolve your monster to the EX level, which is much more powerful than Neozas."
Dr. Otomo's eyes were full of envy when he said this. He had studied the Reionics Battle Device for a long time and had achieved some similar sensations with Neozas, but in the end, it was no match for the real Reionics and he could not control the monster to reach that level.
However, Dr. Otomo also had some misunderstandings about EX monsters. After Galatron's research, he discovered that EX monsters could actually be mass-produced through artificial modification. The reason why the EX monsters under Leo's command were so powerful was because they originally possessed very high qualities.
Even if a monster evolves to EX level by chance, most of them are basically at the level of evolving from Demaga to Dark Sword Demaga, which is still a big difference.
"What exactly is an EX monster?" This wasn't the first time Raymond had heard this name. A large part of his reason for coming here was to find a way to turn Gomora into EX Gomora, or a way to control his rampage.
"Well, we don't know much about this either. Based on the information shared by the Knicks, it can be said that after experiencing countless battles, he has broken through his own limitations and reached a new level."
"So you mean you need to fight, more fights, life-or-death trials, constantly pushing yourself to become stronger, and developing the potential of your Reiblood factor within your body."
When it comes to the Reibrand factor, Dr. Otomo genuinely envies Raymond. He even considered transplanting the Reibrand factor into himself, but Leo rejected the idea. Fortunately, Dr. Otomo is usually quite stubborn, but he always follows the rules when facing Leo.
"Do I need to fight..." Raymond looked at the combat device in his hand, where more and more golden patterns were appearing. He suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about. After all, what kind of battles were lacking on Earth?
Putting everything else aside, I have to go through at least one tough, even life-threatening battle every day on average. It seems like Gomora will eventually evolve into an EX Gomora. It feels like someone's deliberately feeding it experience boosts. I wonder what will happen today...
A sudden sound interrupted Raymond's thoughts. Munakata's commanding voice came through the communicator, "Raymond! Assemble immediately! Something's happened! Dark Zetton, which was defeated last night, has been resurrected!"
"What?" Raymond's heart skipped a beat. He stood up and suddenly realized that this was probably going to be a tough battle today. But what was with this sense of habit? He had only been on Earth for a few days.
Chapter 455 A cold, so painful, Kuyashi
In the K-zone, above the spot where Dark Zetton was destroyed yesterday, Leo's Limit Breaker quietly appeared, releasing waves of energy that gathered the remaining resentment of Dark Zetton.
Reviving dead monsters is something the Dark Shadow Mage can do, and Leo can certainly do it too. The Ultimate Fighting Device has always used this principle. That's how Demaga was subdued: first, he was killed, and then his spirit and body were reshaped by the resentment left behind.
However, if it becomes as powerful as EX Zetton, it can only guarantee a complete physical revival, not a complete spiritual one. The Limit Breaker suppressed Dark Zetton's resentment and realized something was wrong.
Dark Zetton has a strong resentment, but the spirit it contains is incomplete, missing a large part. This means it has been resurrected at least once, just like Mortalanga before. In other words, someone is constantly resurrecting monsters to cause trouble for this place.
But these monsters aren't that strong. To be honest, if the girls of the Leo family hadn't all been resting and recuperating lately, only Golza and Silvergon would have gone out to fight.
A monster like Dark Zetton might not be able to withstand a single blow from Razor Demaga, which means the mastermind behind it all is also relatively ordinary in strength.
Forget it, let Leo figure this out. Otherwise, all that's on his mind is those women at home all day long. Tsk, we were originally planning to get him three monsters. The task Renina gave him was just to find Leo some partners, not how many.
Unfortunately, Leo wasn't strong enough back then and hadn't unlocked his potential. His Limit Breaker consciousness hadn't matured either. If he had the mature consciousness he has now back then, he wouldn't have so many girls in his family whose names alone could fill hundreds of words.
She really regretted it and was really unhappy. She didn't dislike the lively atmosphere at home, but it wasn't good if it was too lively. Leo used to chat with her, but now he didn't even have time to spend alone with her. Even though she and he were the closest ones.
As a portion of the stored ultimate darkness was released, the resentment of Dark Zetton found a body to reside in, burrowing into the ultimate darkness and transforming into Zetton, but not merely in the form of Zetton.
“Magazeton?” Renlong, who was watching the show, looked at the form that appeared, which was exactly the same as the Light Demon Beast. “It’s an evolved form under the influence of Ultimate Darkness. Didn’t Leo say that the normal Zetton would be fine? The Ultimate Fighting Nerg couldn’t possibly make such a mistake, right?”
Yako, who was fiddling with the equipment on the side, thought for a moment, "The precision of the Extreme Combat Device is tens of thousands of times higher than that of the most sophisticated surgical instruments in the world. How could it make such a mistake? But for Raymond in his current state, isn't this a bit too much?"
Maga-Zetton is very powerful in terms of combat strength alone, but it is definitely not as powerful as the previous mechanical Zephyr, Gaia transformed from a metal life form, or Agul. However, if the controller is Leo, then that's a different story.
"Hmm, shouldn't we name it Maga Dark Zetton?" Ako stroked her chin, then shook her head. "Forget it, let's just call it Maga Zetton."
Because it was a second resurrection, Dark Zetton's self-awareness was completely destroyed, similar to that of a vegetable. The Limit Breaker in the sky was rotating slowly, seemingly performing some kind of resurrection ritual, but in reality, it was just enough time to take refuge.
As long as a city isn't completely razed to the ground, Galatrom can basically be repaired. All that's needed is to avoid casualties. Besides, the battlefield is still there. Speaking of which, the speed at which humans are being evacuated is too fast. It hasn't been that long, and an entire district is almost completely evacuated.
The Ultimate Fighting Device fell into Maga Zetton's body, and the previously dim glowing parts of the latter instantly lit up with a dazzling array of colors, and Maga Zetton was resurrected!
(This body... well, no, the quality doesn't meet my requirements at all, it's barely presentable.)
The Ultimate Fighting Gear originally intended to create a body for itself like Rukiel and the others, but Maga Zetton's was only just passing by her requirements. Even so, it had the potential of Ozil, but the Ultimate Fighting Gear's standards were too high.
"Want a new body?" Leo, who was in the middle of a meeting, was interrupted by a strong thought coming from the Extreme Fighting Device, but he quickly recovered. Fortunately, no one thought much of it and assumed that Leo was just too busy to make a mistake.
After all, Leo's workload was truly commensurate with his physical strength.
"According to various eyewitness reports, there are currently cases of people and objects mysteriously disappearing all over the world. According to information from the Knicks, the enemy is very likely creating some kind of abnormal, large-scale spacetime chaos. I encountered such a situation yesterday."
Leo had no need to hide this matter, nor did he need to go into details. Anyway, no one was surprised that he was still standing here, because he was Leo, the ruthless man who could kill MK2 with King Joe and kill an alien with a single punch.
After Leo finished speaking, the representative of the African branch raised his hand, "So, what are our options for dealing with this situation?"
“That’s true.” Leo gave a thumbs up. “According to the analysis and research conducted by the scholars in the scientific research class, if our Meta Realm Device and Specia Barrier Device are combined and adjusted for use globally, they can slow down such spacetime chaos.”
"But this is not a long-term solution. Delay does not mean stopping. If we don't find the Dark Shadow Mage, Earth will still be in great danger, and what I'm worried about is..."
"It's very likely that Earth isn't the only one experiencing spacetime chaos, is that right?" Director Sawai succinctly revealed what Leo was about to say, but it also caused everyone present to sigh simultaneously. They were used to it, but it was precisely because they were used to it that they felt helpless.
Staff Officer Fukami covered his face, saying, "Our Earth is still a rudimentary civilization that hasn't even officially left the solar system yet, so why do we keep encountering things like this?"
Mephisto, representing the Knicks at the meeting, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. Listen to this, is this even human language? A rudimentary civilization that hasn't even left the sun? Even the Pedanians would have to crawl out of this place. Where's the rudimentary part?
"Stop complaining. The most important thing now is to figure out how to deal with the enemy's plot. Let's get started right away. Except for Leo, you go and get some rest. You didn't stay up all night again, did you?"
Faced with Director Yoshioka's question, Leo was momentarily at a loss for words. Although they had attended so many meetings that they were all quite familiar with each other in emergency meetings, there was no need to bring it up directly.
"Ahem, I did catch up on some of it during my nap." Leo could only try to cover up his embarrassment like this, but the other attendees just smiled and shook their heads.
"Your health is the foundation of your fighting ability, so you need to take good care of yourself, Vice Captain Leo." This was Representative Wang from the Asian branch. "I'll send you some traditional Chinese medicine from our region later to help you recover."
“I know a really good massager, I’ll recommend it to you later.” This was Joseph, the head of the Americas branch.
The atmosphere immediately relaxed as soon as they started talking, and the people around them began to share their health regimens. After all, everyone had been working overtime and staying up late for the past two months, so they had to take care of their health.
Mephisto was stunned. No, this was the highest meeting of the TPC, how come it was like a health and wellness exchange? Are these people really the highest brains of humanity?
But then again, Leo is really popular. So many people care about him, trust him, and wish him health and safety. Thinking of this, Mephis couldn't help but smile. Mephisto, this is what you wanted to see, right?
Leo really wanted to say that he didn't need these things, but everyone was so enthusiastic that he didn't know what to say. He quickly ended up nodding repeatedly, while also diverting some of his attention to check on the situation with the Ultimate Fighting Device.
After all, Raymond and the Victory team had already arrived at their destination, and the EXJ could now travel from Australia back to headquarters in just one minute—that's incredibly fast.
Since that's the case, then today's training should begin. Leo rubbed his hands together. "Raymond, I'm doing this for your own good, please forgive me, you foolish and immature little brother."
Meanwhile, in the K region, Maga Zetton was wreaking havoc, fireballs emanating from the glowing orbs on its chest and face turning the surrounding area for tens of kilometers into a sea of fire and ruins.
"Although the casualty figures are zero... well..." Renlong looked at Galatron Unit 3, who was looking very unhappy. The latter was counting on its fingers, and the more it counted, the more it gritted its teeth. The expression on its face was much richer than that of the Galatron main body, and its eyes were full of anger towards the spendthrift.
"That's our family's shopping mall, my newly bought office building, my factory! Doesn't this guy know that all of this is his family's property?"
Galatron Unit 3 clenched its fists, wishing it could transform and fight Maga Zetton right away. It hated this kind of wasteful behavior the most.
Because there were so many things to do, Galatron simply created many clones of herself to handle different tasks. For example, Unit-02 was the maid in the house, mainly responsible for all the miscellaneous things.
Unit 3 is mainly responsible for managing the company's operations in the Asian branch on behalf of Galatron. In order to make these clones stand out from herself and maintain her uniqueness, Galatron also enhanced their personalities. For example, Unit 3 is... particularly greedy and stingy.
"Oh no, I have to teach her a lesson!" Galatron III pulled out a Nix Spark and an MK2 Spark doll.
“No.” Renlong pressed down on Galatron III’s shoulder. “You can’t beat her.”
These words left Galactron III speechless, unable to refute a single point. MK2's stats were indeed very strong, much higher than Maga Zetton, but the person controlling Maga Zetton now was the Ultimate Fighting Device. In other words, it was no different from Leo himself fighting on his behalf.
With the boost and skill brought by Leo, not only can he make up for the numerical gap, but he might even be able to suppress the opponent.
"Hmm, they're here." Renlong looked at the flashing light in the distance. The light quickly transformed into a streak of light and crossed the vast distance in the blink of an eye. When Raymond saw Maga Zetton, he sensed something was wrong. Its aura was much stronger than yesterday's.
"Raymond, be careful." Zongfang also realized something was wrong. "We'll cover you."
“Okay, I’m off!” Raymond took out his battle device. “Go, Gomora, evolve into Lagras.”
The enemy's momentum was impressive, so no matter what, they had to go all out first. Gomora and Dark Evolution Lagras charged toward Maga-Zetton as soon as they landed. Dark Evolution Lagras opened its mouth and spat out a fireball to cover Gomora's approach to Maga-Zetton. This was one of Raymond's current effective tactics.
Darkness's fireball was easily blocked by the Zetton barrier. Then Maga Zetton disappeared from its original spot and appeared in front of Gomora in an instant. Gomora didn't even need to get close; Maga Zetton would come over on its own.
Maga Zetton threw a punch, and Gomora hastily tried to block it by putting his hands to his chest, but he was still blown away by the enormous force and fell next to Darkness.
There was some cooperation, but not much. After all, it was a newly acquired monster, so it wasn't surprising. The Ultimate Fighting Gear wasn't surprised at all; in fact, it was quite good.
“Data collection…begin.” Ako hummed a little tune as EXJ and Victory Eagle swept over her head, the wind ruffling her hair, but no one noticed that several people were standing there.
"New City, Lina, cover Raymond, use the triangle formation."
"Roger that!"
EXJ split into Alpha and Beta and launched an attack on Maga Zetton. However, such an attack could not break through Zetton's barrier. Maga Zetton didn't even bother to look at it. But the sudden arrival of the Zildar bomb made her choose to teleport.
After all, unless it's an EX Zetton, the power of the Zelda bomb is indeed quite threatening.
"It seems our attack was effective." Zongfang breathed a sigh of relief; the enemy wasn't as powerful as the unreasonable level of the Knicks, like the Jadens.
Lina piloted the Beta Machine to attack Maga-Zetton from above, but it was blocked as well. For Maga-Zetton, barriers are passive, and attacks from blind spots are ineffective.
"But the Zildar missiles can't keep up with the enemy's teleportation speed." Shinjo was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
Watching Maga Zetton charge towards Gomora and Darkness, Horii thought for a moment, "Captain, could this Zetton... be heading for Raymond?"
"Is it to avenge what happened last night?" Munakata subconsciously thought of this, but that didn't make sense. It was Desfasa who destroyed Dark Zetton, so there was no reason for him to seek revenge on Raymond. Considering his previous behavior, Munakata subconsciously thought of a possibility.
"Someone has their eye on Raymond; is this specifically designed to get rid of him?"
Watching Gomora and Darkness being flung away, Munakata's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. No, with this difference in strength, how could they possibly fight?
Chapter 456 Leo: Needs Extra Training
It turns out that Earth really does have some kind of eeriness about it. If Reiblood were still alive, he'd probably question whether his planet Hama was even a beginner's village after seeing it. Raymond was, after all, a spare body he created himself, but now...
"Gomora!" Raymond felt a pain as he watched Gomora and Dark Ra being thrown away by Maga Zetton, one in each hand. The higher the degree of assimilation between the monster and the Reonics, the higher its combat power would be.
However, the injuries sustained by the monsters during the battle will also be reflected on Reonics, who is the controller. This was the case with Reo earlier, but he became stronger later, and monsters weaker than Reo will not affect him.
"We need to find a way to restrict the opponent's movements... Raymond, find a way to restrict his movements, let's go to the Meta Domain to fight!" Munakata and Horii's Divine Eagle also separated and launched Meta Domain beams. At the same time, Raymond seized the opportunity to let Gomora grab Zetton to prevent the latter from teleporting away.
Meta Field descended, enveloping everything in its vicinity. Maga Zetton was also trapped inside, and Renlong and the others found a secluded spot to hide, avoiding being discovered.
Zong Fang pondered for a moment, then looked at Raymond and pressed his shoulder firmly. "Raymond, Maga Zetton's teleportation is definitely heading towards Gomora's blind spot. You need to keep your commands as concise as possible so that she can react immediately."
"Now I'll teach you a very simple set of commands. Remember them quickly, they should be of some help."
As he spoke, Zongfang sent a set of codes to Raymond's interruption. The latter quickly looked down to check, only to see Maga Zetton teleporting behind Gomora again. "Right behind!"
Gomora instantly understood, raising its hand and whipping its tail to knock Maga Zetton back. Dark Jinra seized the opportunity to follow up with a fireball, and a decent combination created a brief opening for Maga Zetton. Lina and Shinjo in the sky also followed up with a freezing beam and a heat beam, causing Zetton to stumble.
At the same time, Horii followed up with a Zelda missile, and the explosion caused by its enormous destructive power completely engulfed Maga Zetton. This combo made Ako give a thumbs up, very satisfied with Raymond's performance. This brother-in-law's potential is not bad.
"Not bad. The ability to simplify commands and coordinate so well in a short time shows that the decision to add him to the Victory Team was correct." Ako was doing data analysis. Although the Ultimate Battle Device wasn't fully serious, it still demonstrated considerable combat power.
"In an environment like Earth, it's unlikely that he can grow up quickly on his own. Relying on teamwork is also a way. Leo probably hopes that this will allow him to build strong bonds with others."
Renlong pondered. Leo's thoughts were too easy for her to guess. Renina had once said that emotions could make a person stronger, but Raymond was a Reonicus created by Reiblood, and his emotions needed more catalysts to grow more rapidly.
In fact, Leo even planned to find Raymond a partner, but he didn't know who to choose for the time being.
After all, Ako thought that Reiblood himself had no feelings, and Reonics was probably basically a block of wood as well. She needed to find a girl who would take the initiative. She thought she should check if there were any in the European branch, or maybe she could try to get Gomora... uh, would that work?
While Ayako's mind was filled with all sorts of wild thoughts, on the other side of the battlefield, Munakata and the others' expressions did not improve at all. Raymond was initially a little puzzled, but then he realized that something was wrong; Maga Zetton's aura had not disappeared.
After the flames and smoke from the explosion dissipated, Maga Zetton remained standing in the same spot, though its upper body had been destroyed, leaving only half of its body standing upright. Darkness writhed on the severed part of its body, then transformed into a deeper layer of blackness that climbed upwards and became part of Maga Zetton's body.
When Raymond saw this scene, he immediately recalled the bizarre dark power mentioned in the information that Commander Munakata and Captain Megumi had given him, and he instantly understood why Munakata and Megumi had said that this was the most troublesome enemy.
"Lina, Shinjo, interrupt it!" Munakata's intuition told him that the enemy was most likely in a state of immobility. Raymond also raised his battle device, "Evolve Lagras, Super Temperature Difference Ray!"
