As he was pondering, Renlong suddenly sensed something, looked up at the purple meteor in the sky, which crashed through the Earth's protective shield and landed on Earth, transforming into a purplish-black alien.
"The evil alien Uroga!?" Fujiwara Juri stared at the alien on the screen, but it didn't quite look like the one she remembered. This Uroga alien had purple crystals on its arms and body, and an aura of evil emanated from it... This negative energy... sent by the Dark Shadow Mage!?
"Captain! This guy's target seems to be Vice-Captain Leo's house!" I quickly deduced Uroga's objective.
"What?" Gento immediately understood. The Dark Shadow Mage wanted to take advantage of Leo's absence to destroy the Renlong Shrine. "Transform and stop him! Daigo!"
Sending Daigo out first would at least reduce the chances of things going wrong. Daigo decisively took out the Spark Prism, transformed into a beam of light, and then teleported directly to the top of Uroga, delivering a flying kick.
Unexpectedly, the crystals growing all over Uraga's body suddenly lit up, forming a barrier that sent Daigo flying.
With Daigo's current stats, he can't even kick this shield? Seriously, even stat inflation shouldn't be this fast!
Chapter 530 Eiji Tsuburaya
It was still late at night, the moon was bright, and the lake surface could be seen to be rippling with silvery waves as the wind blew. A gentle breeze caressed his face as the old man strolled along the lakeside, recalling things that had happened here in the past, things that only he could remember.
No one would believe me if I told them, so perhaps I'll keep this secret for the rest of my life.
"The night view is quite nice tonight."
The old man sat on a rock by the lake, with his radio beside him. He had made it a habit to come here on every beautiful moonlit night. Sometimes he even wondered if everything that happened that night was just a dream.
The radio was constantly producing some jumbled sounds, but it was much better than not being able to hear anything at noon. At noon, the sun suddenly became brighter, and then, not long after, television and radio signals throughout the city and even the whole of Japan were affected.
Now, half a day has passed and everything is fine; the radio next to the old man is starting to play clearly again.
"Good evening, listeners. I apologize for keeping you waiting so long today. The sudden solar flare event has caused great disruption throughout Japan. But please don't panic. The Mayan-predicted end of the world didn't come this early."
So it was a solar flare. No wonder all the ground signals were affected. The old man thought to himself, and subconsciously looked up at the brilliant starry sky.
How beautiful the universe is! How wonderful it would be to travel among the stars... Wait, why is there a blue-purple star that seems to be getting brighter and bigger?
By the time the old man realized what was happening, it was too late. The blue-purple star rushed towards him and crashed into Longsen Lake right in front of him. The huge splash of water drenched the old man, but he didn't have time to complain. He was just filled with a kind of anticipation.
Could it be that he has come to this planet again? But surely he didn't just throw another monster into this lake?
The old man wiped his face. The ripples from the falling stars had not yet subsided when another burst of bubbles suddenly appeared on the water in front of him. Then came a person's head, neck, and shoulders. He slowly walked out of the lake. His clothes were tattered, but it was still clear that he was a human, and very young and handsome.
But if he fell from the sky, would he still be human? The old man mustered his courage and stepped forward, speaking slowly while gesturing to help the other person understand.
"My name is Eiji Tsuburaya. Can you understand Earth's languages? What is your name?"
"Name..." To Eiji Tsuburaya's surprise, this seemingly young man spoke Earth languages fluently, but he seemed to have forgotten his own name, gesturing and then shaking his head.
“Leo... Reibrando... Nix, I am Asami Leo, that should be my name.”
"You're Japanese?" Eiji Tsuburaya was shocked. No, where would Japan, which hadn't even launched a rocket, find someone who fell from the sky? Could it be from Kaguya-hime's hometown?
"I don't know, I don't remember anything, I..." Leo subconsciously touched his chest, took out the Dark Spark, and saw several obvious cracks on the red gem.
Leo suddenly felt a headache coming on. He couldn't remember where he came from, only fragments flashing through his mind. At the end, something seemed to be chasing him, followed by a battle, scorching light, the sun...
"I'm sorry, I don't know where I'm from either." Leo shook his head, not knowing why he felt a strong liking for the old man in front of him. Eiji Tsuburaya, seeing that he didn't seem to have any ill intentions, asked with some expectation, "Then are you Ultraman?"
“Ultraman…” Leo chewed on the word, then shook his head repeatedly, “It shouldn’t be, but I have a memory of seeing them fight alongside them.”
It seems this friend from outer space has lost his memory. He probably doesn't mean any harm, Eiji Tsuburaya thought. Then he made a suggestion that he found increasingly audacious and unbelievable: "Well, why don't you come and stay at my house for now?"
"Is that alright?" Leo blinked at the old man, who nodded, so he nodded as well, and that's how the matter was settled.
If we rewind time, when Leo was still in the time tunnel, countless temporal turbulences intersected, but this did not harm Leo in the slightest, after all, the Dark Spark itself also has the power of time.
As it turns out, while Bruton is a monster that's fine for other things, its combat power isn't particularly strong, at least not for Leo. The reason he was sucked away by Bruton was simply because the Dark Shadow Mage transferred a considerable amount of ultimate darkness to him.
This caused Leo's power to become unbalanced again. In fact, even now he was in considerable discomfort and could not exert his full power, but he could still deal with Bruton without any problem.
"A 300-meter-long Bruton? Is that something a human can raise?" Ampera couldn't help but complain. She had never seen such a thing in tens of thousands of years. Being with Leo was truly an eye-opening experience.
"It's just a pretty face, nothing more." Leo took out the Dark Cloth. After all, there were spacetime turbulence everywhere here. If he used Lugiel's power, it might be even harder to find his way back. He directly used telekinesis to control Bruton and then cut him down with a sword.
Unfortunately, in order to find a better way back and also to leave more help for Renlong and the others, Leo left the Ultimate Fighting Device there. Otherwise, it would have been nice to keep such a big Bruton as part of the Pokédex.
Bruton was indeed gone without a trace, but what was unexpected was that after it fell, a huge wormhole appeared on the spot, and the surrounding spacetime became even more chaotic and disordered. Leo was almost sucked in.
Even more surprisingly, through this wormhole, Leo saw that in the other side of the universe, the massive star beast Keprus and countless Dark Baltan aliens were engaged in a fierce battle with a monster.
Keprus was definitely using his full strength, but this still surprised Leo. He knew very well how powerful Keprus was; with the support of all the starlight in the surface universe, he was no weaker than Tartarus in the Trinity.
Add to that the Dark Baltan aliens' technology, which even Hikari finds baffling, and these two combined seem to be at a disadvantage—no, they can only rely on their numerical advantage and immortality to hold on!?
No, what kind of opponent could be so difficult for these two to deal with even when they joined forces? Leo didn't even see clearly, he only saw a flash of red light, and hundreds of cloned Baltan aliens and Keprus died, yes, they died very quickly.
The next moment, the red light seemed to sense Leo's presence and rushed over instantly. Leo was able to see the other party's posture clearly and even instinctively called out the other party's name.
"Hyper Zetton!?"
P.S.: I'd like to recommend a friend's book, "Magical Girls Shouldn't Be Like This!"
Synopsis: [I want to become a magical girl.]
Shirasaka felt utterly devastated when she saw this message in her sister's search history.
Based on his years of experience as a savior, the high-risk profession of magical girl has long since lost any connection with happiness, beauty, or the innocent and romantic daily life of a young girl.
So, to avoid her younger sister unlocking "I have nothing to fear" or similar bedends in the future, Shirasaka resolutely infiltrated the magical girl chat group she belonged to.
then……
"What does 'Magic Color Zero Segment' mean, indicating it's substandard?"
"What do you mean by saying that the magical girl group from the east of the city comes to the west of the city and sweeps through two streets first?"
"Because you're over eighteen, you can no longer be called a girl, so what's with automatically turning into a witch at the designated time?"
In response, the villains and monsters that Shirasaka will eventually defeat say that compared to these things, this guy who neither knows magic nor is a girl, and who has always been mixed in with a group of magical girls and calls himself the savior of light magic, is more problematic, isn't he?
—Magical girls shouldn't be like this!
(Multiple magical girl anime worldviews, including Madoka Magica, Magical Judgment, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Lobotomyne, Warhammer?...)
Chapter 531 Galatron: There are still experts
Urokod's strength was much greater than Daigo and the others had expected. This guy's desire to attack wasn't strong, but his goal was very clear: the Renryu Shrine. Moreover, his strength was even a notch higher than Daigo's current power form.
Daigo blocked his way, hesitated for a second, and decisively switched to his powerful form. He gathered energy in his hands and threw a punch that landed squarely on Uraga, knocking the latter back several hundred meters. The sparks that flew made the surroundings bright for a moment.
However, without the feeling of breaking through the defense, Daigo could clearly sense that Uraga's defense was much higher than Garula's, almost comparable to the arms of the Goldler alien.
After that punch, Uraga also turned his gaze to Daigo, seemingly regarding him as an enemy. His red eyes flashed, and Daigo suddenly sensed danger and dodged to the side. The spot where he had just been standing was instantly crushed by a powerful psychic force, and the huge explosion demonstrated its power.
"Even Daigo wasn't a match for him?" Gento really didn't expect Uroga to be so tough. Just that punch Daigo threw earlier could have killed Garula. What kind of person is this Uroga alien?
"I'll go help!" Meng patted his chest. Putting everything else aside, he was quite confident in his strength.
"No, you drive the Desfasa and analyze it while you're at it. I think there's something wrong with the purple crystals on Uroga. Leave the mission to support Daigo to me."
Fujiwara Juri looked at Uroga, and in her memory, Uroga didn't have those purplish-black crystals on him. "I'm afraid this guy's strength has increased because of those things."
"Okay!" I also noticed the unnaturally growing crystals. These things seemed to be the product of some kind of parasitic growth or energy out of control. I quickly joined in the analysis, while Fujimoto chose to transform and participate in the battle.
Justice flew out of the light and kicked at Urokod, but just like Daigo before, it was blocked by a suddenly appearing barrier and bounced off.
Upon landing, Justice and Tiga immediately switched to Smash Mode, flanking the Urokara alien from both sides. However, surprisingly, the Urokara alien's fighting skills were also quite excellent, completely blocking the two's attacks. Even in Smash Mode, Justice was unable to overcome the opponent in terms of strength.
This was a bit outrageous. Just as Justice came to his senses, he found that Uroga had simply vanished from his sight. The next moment, a sharp pain shot through his back, and he was sent flying.
"Teleportation?!" Daigo's eyelids twitched. This move looked very familiar to him. Zetton had used it a lot, and Uroga actually knew it too.
Uraga raised his hands, and countless purple light bullets were released from them, attacking Daigo as if they had eyes.
Daigo raised an eyebrow and opened his barrier to absorb all the attacks. These attacks were really hard to dodge, so he could only try to block them.
However, the moment the purple light blast struck the barrier, Daigo realized something was wrong. How could this thing be so powerful?!
The barrier cracked within seconds. With that kind of power, Daigo thought that if he were hit, he would probably turn back into his human form.
Fortunately, there were many people on this side. Gai transformed into Orb Gale Cut and Wamu piloted Desfasa, launching a joint attack. Desfasa's spiral laser cannon forced Uraga back, while Orb Gale also teleported in front of Uraga and thrust out the Gale Head Spear.
To Kai's utter surprise, Orb's spear was caught by Uroga's hands, preventing him from advancing any further. Uroga then fired a purple beam from its head, sending Kai flying as well.
"These skills..." Justice was completely bewildered. She wondered if these were skills that Uroga should possess. Could this thing simply be using Uroga's shell? What was its true nature?!
“If the four of us go together, I don’t believe we can’t take it down.” Hong Kai waved his hand, and I Meng, piloting the Desfasa, stood beside the group. “This guy moves very fast. The Meta Field won’t be able to trap it in time, but the Desfasa’s computer should be able to predict its landing point.”
"Orb and I will hold them off, while you two, Tiga and Justice, will deal damage."
Having made these arrangements, I dreamt of piloting the Desfasa and charging forward together with Red Kai. Uroga teleported again, but the Desfasa's computer instantly calculated the opponent's location, and its mechanical claws extended, grabbing Uroga's head the moment he landed.
Orb also teleported behind Uroga and thrust his spear straight at him. Although he failed to break through the defense, he firmly restrained the opponent's movements, holding Uroga in place from both the front and the back.
Justice and Tiga seized the opportunity, firing the Delasium Beam and the Dagrum Beam simultaneously from the left and right, hitting Uroga at the same time. Desfaza's mechanical arm and Orb instantly flashed back, and a huge explosion completely engulfed Uroga.
Success? Before Daigo could even rejoice, he saw a purple ball of light fly out of the flames and disappear into the sky, its whereabouts unknown.
"The target has disappeared. The optical cameras are not responding, the radar is not responding, and the Delta Space Station has not detected any trace of the target."
I reported back to Gento, who estimated that the enemy only chose to retreat because they saw the situation was not good, but unfortunately they were unable to completely eliminate or capture it.
"Disappeared?" At the entrance of the Renlong Shrine, the data stream in Galatron's eyes subsided. She hadn't expected that Uraga could disappear right under her nose.
However, judging from the listening device installed in the ESCG command room and their performance in the battle just now, Daigo and the others have already guessed Leo's identity to some extent, and it is a good thing that they are not discouraged by Leo's disappearance.
But these guys will probably find their way to this house sooner or later, and they might be quite startled. We need to prepare for their arrival in advance. Hmm, let's shut Magabasa up first.
"Can you tell what its origin is?" Renlong walked to Galatron's side. It seemed that coaxing Little Gatan to sleep had taken her a lot of effort. Just now, Little Gatan and Seele had even secretly discussed running away from home to find Leo.
Judging from Renlong's appearance, Uraga is probably not on Earth either. Garatron shook his head as he pondered, "I don't know. It doesn't seem like it hid in another dimension, and we haven't been able to detect how it got here. How could it come directly from the moon..."
As if suddenly remembering something, Galatrom looked at Renlong, her beautiful, aloof face befitting her title as the Daughter of the Earth, "What's on the moon?"
Renlong didn't answer. No, it wasn't that she didn't want to, but rather that she thought she hadn't heard anything. Just as Galatron was about to remind her, she noticed a string of error codes flashing across her core. She subconsciously checked herself, but overlooked the question she had just wanted to ask.
Chapter 532 Three-Year Vacation
Eiji Tsuburaya did not reveal Leo's origins to anyone, only saying that he was a distant relative who had come to seek refuge. His wife did not suspect anything, as Leo did not seem like a bad person.
Rather than saying she's very young, she gives a very good first impression. She has a smile on her face, behaves well, and speaks with a unique sunny feeling. She's the kind of person that everyone thinks is perfect.
Considering that Leo had nowhere to go, Tsuburaya Productions let him stay at his home. He was initially worried that the family would not be used to it, but it turned out that he was worrying too much. Leo quickly integrated into the family and took the initiative to take on many things, such as housework and cooking.
The issue of his identity was resolved thanks to Tsuburaya Productions' connections. Leo also found a job and demonstrated extraordinary work efficiency, quickly becoming a senior executive at a company.
Because Leo was extremely efficient and never made a mistake, and was very reliable in business, the company chairman even hoped that he would marry into the family and was planning to hand over the entire company to him.
However, Leo politely declined. It had been almost three years since he met Tsuburaya Productions, and many people in the company had tried to introduce him to potential partners, but Leo had never agreed, as if he already had someone he loved.
"Uncle!" As soon as he got home from get off work, young Kazuo Tsuburaya called out as he wobbled over and hugged Leo's leg, blinking at him with anticipation.
"You little glutton." Leo chuckled and pinched Tsuburaya Kazuo's cheek, handing him the snacks in his hand. "Eat less, and remember to brush your teeth properly. Where's your grandpa?"
"Behind you!" Two-year-old Kazuo Tsuburaya's speech was somewhat unclear. Leo carried the little guy to the living room and handed him to his father, Hajime Tsuburaya. Noticing the father's unpleasant expression, Leo asked, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
“It’s Father. He just came back and said he wants to resign. Mother doesn’t know what to say. Leo, can you try to persuade him?” Tsuburaya Hajime and Leo have known each other for two or three years and have a very good relationship. Leo often gives him some work advice.
"Resign?" Leo's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something. "I'll go take a look."
In the backyard garden, Eiji Tsuburaya sat on a recliner, gazing at the brilliant starry sky, but his heart felt increasingly lost. He lit a cigarette, but before he could even take a puff, a hand suddenly appeared and extinguished it.
"You've been abstaining for so long, it seems you're really troubled this time. It shouldn't be anything to do with the company, right?" Leo waved his hand casually, not even getting burned. It was only in front of Eiji Tsuburaya that he didn't have to hide himself.
Leo said it wasn't a company matter because Eiji Tsuburaya was working for Toho at the time, and had already become famous for "Godzilla," earning him the title of "God of Tokusatsu" in the film industry.
"You're back." Grandpa Tsuburaya pointed to the small stool next to him. "Come on, sit down. Let's have a chat."
Leo casually sat down on a small stool, opened a bottle of soda, and glanced at the old man. "Trying to go it alone?"
"You're so smart, you could read my mind."
"Actually, A-Yi could also see it, but he wasn't sure." Leo could see it because of his own abilities.
Starting in 1960, the year Leo arrived in this era, Japan's economy began to soar, with opportunities everywhere and gold everywhere. Although he was already over sixty years old, Eiji Tsuburaya still had ambitions, and he was not content to just work at Toho.
"Opportunities always come with risks. I'm already this old, but I still don't want to settle down..."
“I will help you.” Leo said calmly. In fact, he had thought about working with the old man from the beginning, but the old man from Tsuburaya was a little worried. “Then what about your current job? I heard that they value you very much.”
