"Now that the Naga civilization has been completely destroyed, the Desisians have announced their repentance and compensation for everything in the past. Without them, the universe is much more orderly than before."
Upon hearing Luke's words, Daigo was speechless for a moment. The first thing that popped into his mind was the Knicks, as he knew that only the Knicks had such abilities.
Could it be that Nix has been away from Earth all this time to deal with the Naga and the Desis?
Chapter 486 Family Daily Life
At dawn, Magabasa's wailing woke Leo, who was still sleeping in bed. He yawned and wondered who this silly bird had offended this morning.
After all, Leo's bedroom is quite well soundproofed. The sound can be heard so clearly, it must be something special. Could it be Zetton?
Renlong was also awakened by the noise. He rubbed his eyes, glanced at Leo, and then looked at the two children lying between them, Gatan and Seele. The two children had insisted on sleeping with Leo last night, making it impossible for the couple to do anything.
"Children sleep better." Leo poked little Gatan's cheek and couldn't help but sigh. Despite all the noise, the two children showed no sign of waking up.
Renlong agreed, noting that Leo's sleep quality was also top-notch when he was young. She had secretly appeared many times while Leo was asleep without being discovered. As for what she did... well, she was a monster and not bound by human laws.
"Their biological clocks are always very punctual; they'll wake up at eight o'clock to go for food. But why don't you sleep a little longer? You don't have to go to work today."
Renlong glanced at Silvergon behind Leo. This guy had been dragged over by his daughter, but he didn't seem to mind sleeping with Leo at all; in fact, he was quite looking forward to it.
"I'll finish this afternoon. I can't sleep right now. Luke and the others are leaving today, so I'll go see them off. Hmm... I wonder if Daigo and the others are at the armory right now?"
Leo teleported to the bedside to avoid disturbing the two children, and also to check why Magabassa was yelling so loudly today.
After the Qijie La Hua incident yesterday, there shouldn't be any too outrageous enemies today. Leo can finally have some time to rest and treat it as a vacation.
Well, actually, I had no choice but to take this leave. Leo originally planned to skip going to TPC, but instead work with Galatrom to find out the location of the Dark Shadow Mage, then check on the seal on Grimd, and...
Anyway, after hearing Leo's description, Galatrom and the others' only reaction was that they wanted to kick him back to bed, tie him up, and send Ereshkigal and three Zettons to wear him down so that he wouldn't even have the strength to get out of bed. Of course, the result was usually the opposite of what they expected.
Anyway, under the strong insistence of Galatron and Ako, Leo had no choice but to accept his vacation. However, there was nothing to do today, so Leo figured he might as well go out for a stroll since he was free anyway.
刚离开卧室，雷奥就张开了手接住扑到自己怀里的迪玛迦，后者先是好一阵的蹭脸甚至舔了雷奥两下，然后乐呵地挂在他背上，“老大，今天咱们揍谁？”
"There's no one to beat up today, so let's forget about that. What's going on with Magabasa?" Leo glanced outside but didn't see Magabasa being chased by anyone. Or had they already caught up with him?
"She was being cheeky in front of Alaya yesterday, and just now Alaya climbed into her nest and plucked her feathers." Dimaga spread his hands, looking helpless. There was nothing he could do; Magabasa's mouth was always the biggest troublemaker.
"That's not surprising, that's not surprising." Leo instantly understood. No wonder he screamed so pitifully. Magabasa was extremely careful with his feathers, having bought more than a dozen kinds of conditioner.
Such a reason is quite reasonable when applied to Magabasa, but since Alaya can even pluck Magabasa's hair, it seems that the recovery is quite fast.
“Big Sister Zetton and the others have gone to special training.” Magabassa lay on Leo’s back, knowing what to say without him having to speak. “Ereshkigal has made early contact with the Hyper Realm, which has made them nervous. Alas, it’s a pity I don’t have that ability.”
Compared to other monsters, Demaga knew very well that she could never become a Hyper monster. To be more precise, she didn't have the higher level of evolution that Hyper could achieve because she was too special.
After adapting to the spacetime dimension during his battle with King Goldras and evolving into the Dimensional Monster Razor Demaga, Demaga's evolution had reached its limit.
She possesses the ability to adapt to enemy attacks as long as she is not killed, eventually achieving near-complete immunity. She also has the ability to increase her power as the spacetime expands. If she were to undergo a transformation to the Hyper realm, even the will of the universe would not tolerate such a monster.
This can only be described as a trade-off. Dimaga is a monster with a mechanic; her relatively excellent stats and almost godlike mechanics come at the cost of her inability to transform into Hyper Monster.
However, Dimaga herself was not disappointed. When facing other time-space monsters, her advantage was absolute. Moreover, her own strength was also very strong. Most importantly, Leo liked her not because she could fight.
Love isn't about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions. Dimaga hugged Leo tightly, bubbling with joy. She actually wanted to possess Leo completely and wanted to keep him locked in the time-space realm to spend her whole life with him.
But Leo would be very unhappy if that happened, so let's just forget about it, even though most of the family members think the same way.
Zetton wanted to take Leo to a place where no one could find him, not to mention Renlong and Galatron. King Grand would never allow a second monster of the same caliber to appear beside Leo, and Ereshkigal wished he could stay with Leo forever with his tail...
“Let’s go.” Leo suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if someone was after him again, but Leonics’ intuition gave him no warning. He planned to go find Korsiel, also known as Galactic Spark, to talk to her about something.
Renlong and Alaya still had something they hadn't told him, but they both chose to remain silent. This must involve something extremely important. Dark Spark either didn't know, or even if she did, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
But Ke Xi'er definitely knows something. Galaxy Spark seems to be able to reveal more, for example, she directly told Leo some things about that heart before, which Dark Spark didn't know.
"Okay~" Dimaga didn't care where they were going. No matter where Leo went, she would always be by his side.
Leo carried Dimaga on his back and hummed a little tune as he went out. King Grand jumped out of the Ultimate Fighting Device and silently followed beside him, but due to the height difference, he had to quicken his pace to keep up.
Magabasa, feeling wronged, was about to complain to Leo, but seeing this scene, she couldn't help but mutter, "Those short legs are pretty quick... Oh dear, I'm sorry!"
Watching Magabasa being chased by King Grand, Leo couldn't help but shake his head. This silly bird's mouth! If she were any stronger, she might even dare to say a few words to Delacion.
Chapter 487 Gatanothor's Interests
Sometimes Leo finds it unbelievable that so many things happened just yesterday, with the Qijiela flowers blooming all over the world and all of humanity imprisoned in dreams, yet everyone is still doing what they were doing today, as if they had never been affected.
Everyone on the street was living their lives as peacefully and casually as ever, chatting and laughing. Even Dimaga couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his memory.
"Did I sleep for several days?" Dimaga lay on Leo's back, his chin resting on Leo's head, looking incredulous. "I should have checked the calendar this morning."
“You’re not mistaken… They’ve just gotten used to it, and with the River of Oblivion around, people can easily forget their memories of darkness. Zigela was seriously infected by Gatanothor.”
If Wangchuan weren't just a simple machine, Leo would probably be furious by now. This is ridiculous! It's always picking on him and causing trouble. Dealing with all this stuff is a real pain.
Thinking about it this way, the River of Oblivion isn't all bad. At least it has maintained a certain level of peace and stability, and the effect is excellent. It's just that the River of Oblivion itself is too dangerous. With Zagi currently missing, Leo has to make more preparations.
Once Galatron calculates the location of the Dark Shadow Mage, Leo will deal with this matter first; otherwise, if the two worlds were to merge, the situation would completely spiral out of control.
"Boss, boss~" Dimaga waved his hand in front of Leo for a while. "You're daydreaming again. It's rare for you to come out and have fun. Can't you put those worries aside for a while? Otherwise, once everything is settled, won't you be bored to death?"
Leo was definitely thinking about things related to the Dark Shadow Mage just now. Dimaga knows him too well. It's rare for this to be considered a date between the two of them. Leo is really as clueless about romance as ever.
"You know what, if the world really becomes peaceful in the future, I might not know what to do." Since joining ESCG, Leo has experienced countless battles, big and small, and the enemies he has killed range from Golza to Tartarus.
For Leo, who has become accustomed to his current lifestyle, it is hard to imagine what he would do if he lived in a peaceful and tranquil world. After all, he can no longer go back to the simple life of the past.
"Hmm, let me think... You'll stay with us every day and we won't even have to leave the bedroom?" Dimaga said, his eyes sparkling, as if he was really looking forward to such a future.
“…That’s too indescribable.” Leo’s lips twitched slightly. He thought that this was something that couldn’t be written down, but it was the most likely thing to happen.
"But the possibility is very high. Magabasa and I have both inquired about it, and everyone actually really wants to keep bothering you, Boss."
The number of people in the family is now too many to count on two hands, and apart from Leo, they are all girls. Their protectiveness and possessiveness towards Leo have reached an almost pathological level, and they don't deny it themselves.
Dimaga hung on Leo's back, humming a cheerful tune. The three Zetton sisters had gone to training, Ereshkigal had overexerted herself yesterday and needed more rest today, Rugiel and Empera were still asleep, and Renlong and Rainbow Kagachi still had to regulate the ley lines. In other words, no one could disturb her and Leo's time alone. How wonderful!
Although Leo managed to keep his true identity a secret thanks to his powerful mental strength as a Reiblood alien, he was still carrying Dimaga on his back. Dimaga's face was attractive enough on its own, let alone in this position.
However, Dimaga seemed quite pleased with herself. She tilted her head back and smiled smugly, as if showing off to everyone that she had the best boss, or rather, lover—it all meant the same thing to Dimaga.
Looking around, Dimaga wanted to find something to talk about, but after thinking it over and over, he still couldn't figure out what to talk about, so he ended up talking about what happened yesterday.
"Speaking of which, boss, when do you think Gatanothor will be able to resume operations?"
Dimaga wanted to pinch himself as soon as he asked the question. Sigh, he had been infected by Leo. What girl talks about these things when she's on a date with a boy?
"...It won't be long." Leo carried Dimaga steadily; the girl's weight was negligible to him, except that she was pressed too tightly against him, especially against her chest.
"This was a close call! Gatanothor almost succeeded. Luckily, you had Hyperion in reserve, so her plan didn't work."
Dimaga didn't even dare to imagine what would happen to the family if something had happened to Leo back then, but she would definitely go berserk and directly open the space-time barrier to lock the entire Earth inside.
“No, Dimaga, you’ve got that wrong.” Leo shook his head and sighed with a hint of helplessness and disappointment. “This time, it was actually us who failed.”
"Huh?" Dimaga wondered if he had misheard. "But we pulled out the Zephyr flower, Zagi was defeated, and you weren't captured, boss."
"Sigh, that's why I say we failed because that's all we did."
As Leo spoke, he walked to an ice cream stand and bought two extra-large ice creams for Dimaka to carry, then led her to a bench on the street to sit down.
Dimaga took a bite of both ice creams before giving one to Leo, then unceremoniously leaned against his lap and lay down. Since Leo's mental power was influencing them, no one would notice that the two of them were sitting there, or even remember that there was a chair.
"In yesterday's events, the hidden danger of Zaki was not completely resolved, and we still don't know where he is now. Secondly, our progress in finding the Dark Shadow Mage has also been slowed down."
"More importantly, the enormous negative energy generated by the Qijiela flower yesterday must have been largely absorbed by Gatanjee, and a considerable portion of it was also absorbed by the River of Oblivion. The former was already very strong, and the latter has increased the hidden dangers even further."
It can only be said that Leo may not have lost out, but Gatanothor definitely made a huge profit. She directly gained a lot of negative energy in this wave, and the seal of the River of Oblivion was also greatly affected by the massive influx of negative energy.
Dimaga only half understood what was going on, but he roughly grasped the situation. In other words, no matter what they did, Gatanothor had already profited from the moment the Zijera Flower bloomed.
This is the first time since Demaga started working with Leo that an opponent has been able to gain so many advantages. It seems that Gatanothor is indeed a very dangerous opponent, not only powerful but also exceptionally intelligent.
Chapter 488 It's truly a miracle
Inside the main control room of the Jupiter base, Galatrom sat quietly in a chair, but her inner core was working at high speed, processing data and information transmitted from all over the universe. Her monitoring range had long since expanded beyond Earth.
Now, Galatrom maintains order in the universe in the name of Leo. Whenever there is war or aggression between cosmic civilizations, she will find out the situation as soon as possible and decide whether to intervene. If anyone is dissatisfied, they can talk to Bishop Gloca, who is under Galatrom's command.
“The spacetime distortion rate has increased by three percentage points…” Galatrom opened his eyes, his usually cold and mechanical eyes now revealing an undisguised “but,” “It seems that the Dark Shadow Mage is going all out this time.”
It can only be said that the Dark Shadow Mage was really driven to desperation by Leo, to the point that he went to such lengths. He was just an avatar, and the price he paid to achieve this level must have been considerable.
In just a few days, the spacetime distortion rate of the entire universe has exceeded 10%, which means that spacetime anomalies are occurring throughout the entire universe.
However, since most of them are concentrated on Earth, they have not yet caused chaos on a cosmic scale. Earth is currently surrounded by the Sphia Barrier, and the spacetime of the entire planet has been forcibly stabilized, allowing for a temporary period of stability.
Normally, the spacetime distortion rate of a universe is at most two percent. Even if some spacetime monsters occasionally cause some spacetime anomalies, it will only increase to three percent at most. Even if Dimaga uses all his strength, it would take a month to make the entire universe reach a distortion rate of ten percent.
If the spacetime distortion rate of a universe reaches 8%, then it can basically be declared that everything is over. But this universe is different. This universe is actually a combination of several universes. Delacion is the stable foundation of the entire universe. It is estimated that the distortion rate must reach at least 30% before there will be a major problem.
“A hand outside the box can always easily manipulate everything inside…” Galatrom muttered this sentence she had recently read in a science fiction novel.
At this moment, the Dark Shadow Mage is undoubtedly on the outer edge of this box called the Universe. Therefore, any impact he has on the Universe will be amplified. Otherwise, how could he possibly merge two universes with just a clone and Tartarus? That would be a pipe dream.
Yesterday, Gatanothor delayed her work, forcing Galatrom to be prepared to use all her resources at any time, which slowed down her progress. She knew that Gatanothor was buying time for the Dark Shadow Mage.
At times like these, time is of the most precious thing, so Galatrom had to relinquish his computing power and focus all his efforts on calculating the spacetime coordinates outside the universe.
But no matter what, a portion of her computing power is always dedicated to Leo, while she uses her attention to connect to cameras on every planet, constantly gathering information about Leo. Wherever there are smart devices, Galatron's gaze never leaves Leo.
This was a special kind of care from Galatron. At first, she was worried that her actions would displease Leo, but since Leo never refused her, Galatron didn't mind taking things a step further.
"Leo...sigh." Looking at Leo cleaning Dimaga's ears on the screen, Galatrom couldn't help but purse her lips. She also wanted to go on a date with Leo alone, but there was never a moment when she could leave this house. But it was okay, Leo couldn't live without her either.
At the Renlong Shrine, the early Gorgorgon brought out his clothes to wash. Fortunately, Kodara and Ereshkigal were both home resting today, so asking them to help would save on water and electricity bills. It's a pity that Rainbow Kagachi wasn't there, otherwise they could have saved on spin drying.
"Gorgorgon, wait a moment." Ako called out to Gorgorgon, and with a puzzled look in the latter's eyes, pulled out a casual jacket from a pile of clothes. It was obvious that it belonged to Leo.
Leo's clothes are usually not washed with the rest of the house. Of course, it's not that the clothes are hard to wash, but rather that every time Leo changes out of his clothes, including his ESCG uniform, they are taken away by Galatron Unit 2, which is Galatron's maid clone. Gorgorgon never expected that there would be one of them here.
"Well, I can do laundry..." Despite being 20 centimeters taller than Ya, Gorgorgon sounded rather timid when she spoke, as she was somewhat socially awkward around family members other than Leo and Hilbagun.
“I don’t doubt your ability to wash clothes, but…” As Ako spoke, she groped Leo’s clothes, then withdrew her hand and opened it up, revealing many sesame-like things on them.
"What are these, stubborn stains?" Cordara and Tyrant curiously crowded around. Ako thought for a moment, then pointed and introduced them one by one, "This is a locator, this is a listening device, this is a thermal imager, and this one over here is a special word trigger..."
Looking at the hundred or so black sesame-like dots in Ayako's hand, Tyrant and Cordara's gazes gradually shifted from admiration to fear. Good heavens, she seemed to want to know everything about Leo 24/7.
"No, why are you looking at me like that? These aren't all mine. I only put in about eighty. The rest belong to Sister Galatron. Besides, we did this so we could keep track of Boss Leo's physical condition and prevent any problems from arising in Ultimate Darkness."
Ako spoke with an air of righteous indignation, but it would be a miracle if Kodara and Tyrant believed her. Everyone in the family could see that Ako was completely infatuated with Leo, but she usually didn't show it because she was concerned about her image in front of him. Leo didn't usually notice, but the clothes he lost were actually taken by Ako.
I wonder if the Yapool would be so angry if they knew what Yako was like now that they would be resurrected. If that were the case, their strength would definitely increase significantly.
"I thought Zetton's ability to teleport and follow people around at will was already impressive, but you guys are really more capable." Tyrant gave a thumbs up. Putting aside everything else, she knew she couldn't do that.
“She’s already been very restrained. If Leo hadn’t given her that ring, she might have even done something like imprisoning Leo in a place we couldn’t find.” Ako spread her hands. “It’s already very good as it is now.”
Gogolgun said timidly, "Actually, I've thought about it... If possible, petrification would be much better, because then we wouldn't have to worry about Leo running away."
This one was even more impressive, leaving Kodara speechless for a moment. In the end, he could only utter, "I think it's a miracle that this family hasn't started fighting yet."
Chapter 489 Chariga's Request
The spacetime distortions caused by the Dark Shadow Mage are mostly concentrated on Earth's side, and have been forcibly stabilized by the Specia Barrier, so they haven't caused too much panic yet. This means that Earth is one of the points where the two universes meet.
Those who have been caught in the spacetime distortion and disappeared are still missing, and it's unknown which universe they've fallen into or whether they can return here. Let's hope they're all safe and sound, although the chances of that are very slim.
After spending the morning out, Leo and Dimaga were more looking for food than shopping. They ate wherever they went, since there wasn't much else to do and they didn't want to carry things around.
Leo's own fashion sense is really not good, and Dimaga is about the same. However, Dimaga did not expect Leo to have such a big appetite. Watching Leo eat the ice cream he just bought in one bite, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Boss, you and Sister Jetton are really a pair of star-crossed lovers."
"Cough cough cough cough..." Leo almost coughed to death on the spot. No, what kind of magical way of using idioms is this?
Leo patted his chest, calming down a bit, then playfully smacked Dimaga on the head. "Did you catch something from Magabasa?"
"Hey, just kidding~ Don't take it seriously." Dimaga hugged Leo tightly, clinging to him. She always knew when to fight and when to let go, and now that no one else was taking her, she could stick to him for as long as she could.
The electronic screens on the street were still playing the trailer for the next episode of "Ultraman Tiga". To be honest, even Leo couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable watching it. He was particularly curious about where Tsuburaya Productions found the actors who could perfectly fit the original GUTS team's personnel configuration.
