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

Page 272

The key is that these screenwriters even managed to find an actor who looks and has a similar temperament to Leo, which is quite impressive. Even Leo's daughters couldn't recognize him at first glance.

But Leo quickly realized that this must be the result of Galatrom's help in casting. No wonder so many suitable roles were found. Dimaga followed Leo's gaze and scratched his face.

"Sometimes I feel like you have a really bad sense of humor, boss. You even deliberately let Tsuburaya Productions set Daigo as Tiga's human form." Dimaga sat on Leo's lap, casually fiddling with the bracelet he had just bought.

"It's just to be realistic, everyone says art comes from life." Leo shrugged, admitting that it was actually a little prank on his teammates.

But who could have imagined that the answer was right there on the surface of the riddle, and so obvious at that? No one could have guessed that Daigo, a member of ESCG, was actually Ultraman Tiga.

However, when Tiga was mentioned, Leo subconsciously sensed the stone statue of Ultraman Triga that he had placed inside the Ultimate Fighting Device.

Yesterday, at the start of the battle, Leo made a point of preserving Triga's statue to prevent it from being damaged by the aftershocks of the battle.

Originally a counterfeit created by twisted dark desires, it was altered by the light of Earth's will and gained its own self, splitting in two during its battle with Qijiela Flower.

The dark part lived on Gatanothor and later became nourishment for Dark Lucifer. Now it has disappeared along with Zagi.

The stone statue inside the Ultimate Fighting Device is a pure stone statue, devoid of any consciousness or power. Even if the Natan aliens came, they could easily destroy it.

Leo wasn't sure if the light he had preserved was enough to reawaken Triga. The combined light of the plasma spark might be enough, but it could lead to a new consciousness emerging from the statue.

Moreover, Leo himself can't draw out any more light right now. The ultimate darkness within him hasn't settled down yet, and it's really difficult to achieve a balance between the two forces of light and darkness.

"Toriga, Teriga... even if this name comes from some Ultraman in another world, you are still a worthy Ultra Warrior." Leo put away the Ultimate Fighting Device, glanced at the time, and took Dimaga to a nearby coffee shop.

Of course, this wasn't the place Ako and Gracia had agreed to meet. Gracia wasn't worth Leo's personal visit. Leo was waiting for his old business partner, Charlie, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Actually, Chariga has been in this universe for some time now, but Leo wasn't there when he first came, and later he went to do business with other universe civilizations.

Dimaga doesn't really like coffee shops, mainly because it's not a good place to speak loudly and there's nothing he particularly likes to eat. However, Chariga really likes Earth's coffee and buys a lot every time he comes. Apparently, it's already sold out and is now a hot commodity.

Bored, Leo glanced at the messages from TPC and dealt with some minor official business. It was a pity he couldn't see how Captain Stringman and the others were doing; they were probably mentally prepared and on their way to the armory.

While feeling regretful, Leo caught a glimpse of Charlie, who was heavily pregnant and walking with comical steps, approaching him out of the corner of his eye. This was the first time Charlie had seen Leo in his human form, and he was stunned for a moment.

Good heavens, the being recognized as the ruler of the universe is actually the vice-captain of ESCG. Who would have thought?

However, Chariga was also very moved. Since Leo had chosen to meet him in this form, it meant that he completely trusted him, and the cooperation between the two could go a step further.

Strangely, the coffee shop was empty today. Chariga also removed his disguise, and although it was only for a moment, Leo still managed to see the appearance of this cosmic demon. Well, to be honest, it was a bit odd.

"It's been quite a while. How's business lately?" Leo gestured for Charlie to sit down and then called over a waiter to take their order.

"Thanks to you, my business scope has expanded a lot compared to before, and I've also increased my business partners. I'm almost too busy to keep up."

Charlie ordered a few things casually, looked around, and thought that the food here shouldn't be so bad that there wouldn't be a single customer. Then, she looked at Leo and asked, "Did you book the whole place?"

"This coffee shop belongs to Galatron. It's closed to the public today, but it's specially for you." Leo waved his hand dismissively. "You have a lot of customers these days?"

“Quite a lot. In the past, I usually cooperated with guys like the Salome aliens. They have a high demand for war-related items. You know, my main profession is, after all, monster trader.”

When Charlie talked about it, he wasn't embarrassed at all, after all, it was something he had done, and he hadn't actually harmed Earth, which was the greatest stroke of luck.

"However, since I started having you as a supplier, I also do business with civilizations like the Vantonians, the Metzians, and the Nonmartians. They are relatively weak in terms of defense, so they need some protection."

In the past, Chariga's business partners were mostly bad people, to the point that even a civilization like the Vantonians were unwilling to do business with him. But after meeting Leo, he opened up avenues for doing business with the defensive red King Bridge.

However, the Pedan aliens remain their biggest customers in this regard. The reason is simple: they nearly wiped out their resources on Planet Hama. If it weren't for the death of the Empera aliens and the collapse of the Dark Universe, which led to various forces in the universe vying for their interests, Pedan would definitely have been targeted by other forces.

And no matter how unwilling they are to admit it, the pirated King Joe produced by Galatron is still of better quality than their own.

"And most importantly, I've also started doing business with the Land of Light, mainly in terms of intelligence and materials." Chariga was truly proud when he mentioned this, as he was the first black market merchant in the entire universe to do business with the Land of Light.

Unfortunately, the Land of Light didn't need a pirated King Joe; Galatrom directly sent a bunch of Archbishops Gloca and MK2s there. Even if Emperor Abela had invaded again, he would have been taken aback.

"By the way, Knicks, could you please ask your Gala Troon for a favor?" Charlie suddenly remembered this and looked a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Leo didn't intend to refuse outright. Chariga had helped him a lot, and the Galatrons were given to him by Chariga.

"I have a monster named Yanagaki, which I raised from a cub. Unfortunately, there was an accident during a time travel, and we were separated for many years. Could you please ask Galatrom to help me find it?"

When Chariga mentioned this, his eyes were full of disappointment. "Although Yanagaki is quite strong, he is very shy. I'm afraid he might cause trouble in an unfamiliar environment."

"But please, it's really important to me. If it causes any damage, I'll do everything I can to make up for it, as long as I can find it!"

Chariga knew very well that Leo's forces now spanned two universes, with Galatron in charge of one and the Balgi aliens in charge of the Land of Light universe, so finding people would be quick.

"Since you've put it that way, well, I promise you, send me a copy of the information later." Leo thought for a moment; it wasn't too much trouble. Galatrom's spies were indeed spread throughout the entire universe.

Furthermore, Leo had just noticed that Chariga's eyes were very sincere. If he had lost any of the girls in his family, he would probably have gone crazy with worry. No one could understand that feeling better than Leo.

"Thank you so much!" Chariga wiped away his tears. He had been searching for Yanagaki for many years, but he couldn't find him. However, when he traveled between the two universes, he discovered some residual traces of energy.

This means that Yanagaki is in this universe, which makes Charika extremely excited and grateful.

Leo wanted to say something more, but his communicator suddenly rang. He picked it up and glanced at it. "Something came up, so I'll be going now. Take your time exploring. Earth should be relatively peaceful these next few days."

On Leo's communicator, there was only a simple message from Galatron: many spaceships have been detected entering the solar system.

Chapter 490 The Neliru Alien's Plea for Help

The Delta Space Station has been quite relaxed lately. After all, although there are many monsters spawning on Earth, space is still relatively quiet, at least there aren't hundreds of Golza spawning every now and then.

Moreover, since last month, the number of those mindless aliens who want to directly invade Earth has decreased significantly for some reason. They are now mainly responsible for observing the situation on Earth.

After several upgrades, the Texas beam cannons on the Delta Space Station have been replaced with the new Max cannons, which are estimated to be powerful enough to take down a two-kilometer-sized asteroid as if it were a balloon.

However, Makoto Nanase is not without his worries. For example, there is the matter of his daughter Rena Nanase's marriage. He had already met Daigo when they were fighting in Goblin, and to be honest, he is a very handsome man.

But can someone explain why their future son-in-law is being rushed into the medical ward every few days, and always with serious injuries? Is the combat intensity of ESCG really that high?

Just as Nanase Makoto was pondering this, a technical analyst noticed something and quickly looked up. "Commander Nanase, long-range radar has detected a small fleet heading towards Earth... Ah, please wait, they have sent a communication request."

"Translate it out and warn the other party not to enter the Earth-Moon universe without authorization, otherwise we will immediately launch an attack."

I was just thinking that there haven't been any major events from space in the past few months. After all, the BDMK2 that Galatrom threw out and the monsters of the Magma aliens Volugan were both sent out directly via spacetime teleportation, and even the space station couldn't stop them.

The translation was completed quickly, and the broadcast began soon afterward.

"We are aliens from the planet Nereru. Our home planet reached the end of its life and was destroyed. We are now searching for a new home in the universe, but our spaceship is running out of energy."

“We have no intention of invading your planet. We only hope to obtain some energy supplies, and we are willing to exchange some technology for it.”

At least on the surface, the Nerei aliens could not be considered invaders, but this was certainly not a decision that Nanase Makoto could make on his own, so he quickly informed the TPC headquarters.

Inside the TPC base, in the armory, the Snake Heart Sword in Heishang's hand flashed with a cold light, making everyone standing in front of him feel a chill down their spines. Meanwhile, Old Master Ye Hu clenched his fist, making a series of crisp crackling sounds, causing everyone's throats to tighten.

The pressure is immense. Gento is truly regretting agreeing to let Leo have the day off this morning. If Leo were here, at least he wouldn't feel this sense of crisis.

However, on another note, Gento glanced to the side and noticed that besides ESCG, there were other people there...

"Captain Stringman, what are you looking at?" Jugglus's words made Stringman quickly look away. "Ahem, nothing... I'm so sorry, I've added so much work for you again this time."

"So Captain Stringman knew we had a lot of work to do." Jugglus Juggler's words weren't sarcastic; they were pure resentment. He even wished he could throw all the guys in front of him into the sea to feed Gatanothor.

If there were still the bronze demon statue Geshyut here right now, Jugglus Juggler's resentment alone would be enough to kill Geshyut.

"This...uh..." Gento really didn't know how to respond, so he subtly kicked Hong Kai's shoe behind him, signaling him to help quickly.

But Gai was the most nervous one. He knew Jugglus Juggler too well; right now, there wasn't even a glimmer of hope in Jugglus Juggler's eyes! He really wanted to use a knife!

Even if you can't see Jugglus's expression, you can feel the murderous aura emanating from him. Not to mention that even the usually gentle Grandpa Ye Hu is now clenching his fists, making everyone else feel even more embarrassed.

Jugglus Juggler didn't hold the ESCG guys accountable first. He was used to it, after all, he knew who they were, and he couldn't just send them all to outer space.

But it's a different story when it comes to your own teammates. Jugglus glanced to the side and said, "Haruki, Kaito, Yuuki, and Yuma, aren't you four going to explain yourselves? Oh, Yuma, you don't need to. You can take a day off and relax."

Jugglus suddenly remembered that Yuma's crash was simply due to his poor piloting skills. After all, he was a transfer student from Skip, and he didn't have many opportunities to fly before. He needed to practice his skills more.

This was actually a misjudgment by Jugglus Juggler. Yuma had not yet gained the ability to transform into Aker, but he still thought Yuma was Ultraman and sent Yuma to fight. As a result, although Yuma destroyed a Zejera flower, he also crashed.

Fortunately, no one was hurt (Rainbow Gagaki was watching), otherwise Jugglus would have regretted it to death, and he would never have blamed Yuma at this time. Giving him a break would have been just right.

But the remaining three... well, they need to be given a good talking-to, Jugglus thought to himself, while also feeling quite perplexed.

He just couldn't understand why Leo had shoved two people, both of them Ultraman, into his group. Although Yuma didn't know why he couldn't transform, he wouldn't mistake this Radiant Jugglus. Yuma blended seamlessly into the group of ESCG members.

"Captain, this..." Kaito hesitated, even though he was essentially Max. Back then, his human form, Kaito, had also experienced many plane crashes, but the captain at the time wouldn't hold him accountable.

"I'm so sorry, Captain, I..." Yu Xing didn't know how to continue. Although he wasn't very skilled at piloting fighter jets, the crash was indeed a mistake. His piloting skills were not so bad that he couldn't handle Qi Jielahua.

"I'm so sorry, Captain. This plane crash was due to my lack of experience. I have fully reflected on my mistakes, and this is my self-criticism report. I will train harder in the future!"

Yaohui handed over the apology letter and bowed his head in one smooth motion without pausing at all, which stunned everyone. In particular, the people from ESCG had only one question in their eyes: How come you are more skilled than us?

If Haruki knew what they were thinking, he would probably just shake his head helplessly. He had no choice; he had to do it this way.

Having memories from before coming to this universe, Haruki knows very well what kind of personality Captain Jugglus is. Apologies must be sincere and the attitude must be serious. Besides, what Haruki crashed before wasn't a plane, it was a special mission aircraft.

So every time he writes a self-criticism report, it takes him many pages. Writing a fighter jet crash report, on the other hand, takes much less work. Sigh, if he keeps talking about it, he'll start to cry.

Seeing Haruki's behavior, Jugglus Juggler was at a loss for words. This kid is quite sensible. Alright, let him off the hook.

Just then, Leo called Gento. The familiar ringtone almost brought Gento to tears. "Vice-Captain, you should have called sooner..." No, what could possibly be the matter that would make the Vice-Captain call?

Gento picked up the phone and answered it, then blurted out without thinking, "The Neriru aliens want to replenish their energy here. Vice Captain, you... you were absolutely right to call us!"

Gento, corrected by Komon's gaze, immediately realized this was a good opportunity to escape. "ESCG, move out immediately!"

Under Jugglus Juggler's gloomy face, the ESCG team drove away with the last few fighter jets. When they heard the name "Nereiru Alien," Kaito, who was Ultraman Max in disguise, was stunned for a moment.

He remembered that night when the young alien, a Nereu alien…a fellow human of Kov, risked his life to protect the city from the attack of the Godler aliens, giving him a chance to turn the tide of battle!

Chapter 491 Captain Gale's Invitation

To be honest, the whole ESCG shouldn't have been mobilized for the Neriru alien incident. At least on the surface, they just wanted to exchange for some supplies, and their attitude was quite good. It wasn't worth sending seven or eight Ultramen to replicate the Baltan alien's fate.

However, the oppressive aura of Jugglus Juggler and Grandpa Ye Hu was probably even stronger for Captain Stringman and his group than that of the Dark Emperor. Leo never expected that these guys would come directly to pick him up instead of waiting in the command room.

Leo rolled his eyes, probably because they felt unsafe at the base right now, since no one was protecting them. He then composed himself and waved to the others.

EXJ hovered above Leo's head. Gento opened the cockpit canopy, and Leo jumped over a hundred meters high before returning to the cockpit.

This scene would be so bad on anyone else that LTL would capture them for research, but it's perfectly reasonable on Leo. Now everyone online is joking that this vice-captain must be some kind of Astartes from somewhere.

While it's true that all of humanity on Earth is evolving, your evolutionary speed is too fast. At this rate, you'll soon become the Primal Form.

"Why did you guys come straight here? I haven't even had time to change into my uniform yet." Leo took the protective helmet handed to him by the captain of the String Man. "This mission shouldn't be in such a hurry."

"Ahem, after all, it's just a small fleet, so of course we have to be careful... Oh right." Gento suddenly slapped his forehead, "Vice-Captain, you're going to a meeting, right?"

This time, a different civilization is visiting. Such an important matter naturally requires discussion by the entire TPC. Stringman was so busy escaping from Jugglus Juggler's sword that he forgot about this.

"No need for that now, we can just head straight there. I've already notified Delta Space Station to meet us there. Luke and the others are leaving anyway, so we'll all have to go there eventually."

Leo shook his hand. He had just contacted Galatrom, whose data collected in the universe showed that there was no race called the Neriru aliens, not even any related rumors.

Either the Nereu aliens, like the Sphia civilization, were destroyed too early and no one even knew about this race, or they weren't a civilization from this universe, but rather wanderers from another universe.

Anyway, Leo felt that the second possibility was more likely, which would be interesting. Did they find another universe while looking for a new home? There must be more to it than meets the eye, which is why Leo decided to go and see for himself.

Of course, the more specific details should be left to Staff Officer Fukami and Staff Officer Gondo. These two have grown a lot during this period and should accumulate more diplomatic experience, otherwise how will they be able to take on important responsibilities in the future?

While Leo was taking action, TPC quickly came to a conclusion: let Leo make contact with the other side first, as Leo was perfectly capable of representing Earth.

If the other side truly has no intention of aggression and only needs energy for interstellar travel, then Earth can indeed help. With the widespread adoption of Max propulsion systems, energy is the last thing Earth lacks.

Of course, if the other party has ill intentions and has its eye on Earth, then the new Max cannon on the Delta Space Station will shine with the humanitarian light of Earth civilization. What makes them think they can even want Earth? Can they even afford to live there?

After receiving the message from Delta Space Station, the Nerei aliens also sent their representatives for talks. Putting aside everything else, at least the Nerei aliens aren't ugly, and Nanase Makoto figured that the Earth's general public shouldn't be too unacceptable towards them.

Unexpectedly, the Nereu alien transformed into a human and extended its hand, saying, "Hello, I am a representative of the Nereu fleet. You can call me Jifu. Um... you don't look well. Did I misunderstand your manners?"

Nanase Makoto wanted to say something, but after thinking for a moment, he reached out and shook hands with Norio. "You also know about Earth?"

Jifu nodded readily with a smile, "Yes, we just learned about human civilization through the internet. To facilitate better communication, I even found some popular people among humans to imitate."

“…Actually, I think you could choose someone else.” Nanase Makoto looked at the thick-skinned man in front of him, who had Leo’s face but was wearing a bright smile. “The one you found is too popular, I’m feeling a bit pressured.”

It's not so much pressure as it is that Nanase Makoto has never really seen Leo smile. Most people's impression of Leo is that although he is young, he has a kind of calm and imposing aura that comes with a high position. Nanase Makoto can't imagine what Leo looks like when he smiles.

Not to mention him, even the big shots at ESCG rarely see Leo actually laugh, so looking at Jifu in front of him, he felt extremely strange.

"What about this one?" Norio changed his expression again, and Nanase Makoto quickly shook his head. "Director Sawai is even more unacceptable, and so is Commander Yoshioka."

"And this?" Ji Fu rummaged through his database and found a portrait of a recently popular actor, but Nanase Makoto couldn't hold back any longer after seeing it. "This is my daughter's boyfriend..."

After a while of fussing, Ji Fu had finally transformed into someone that no one would recognize at first glance. Now Nanase Makoto no longer doubted that these guys were invaders. What kind of invaders could be so unreliable?
