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

Page 289

It's not surprising that Leo is highly regarded by Tsuburaya Productions. After all, his efficiency and ability are undeniable. He can write a plan that others might not be able to finish in a month, but Leo can do it in a morning. In many cases, he has to slow down his pace to avoid arousing suspicion.

“Mr. Yamauchi is truly very kind to me. Our company is also trying to transform recently, and I plan to suggest shifting to the entertainment industry. This won’t take long. Once everything is arranged, I will withdraw.”

When Leo joined the company, it was in a period of confusion due to a series of strategic mistakes. The company had established a taxi company, produced instant rice, and even operated a "love hotel," but it was not doing well.

After Leo joined, he was busy for quite a while. Everyone worked together and things went quite well, which is why the company president values ​​him.

Incidentally, the company's most famous IP representations later on were: a yellow electric mouse, a good-for-nothing hero, and an ordinary sewer plumber.

"Haha, then you'll have to be my lead writer for the project."

When he heard that Leo could come to help, Tsuburaya Productions couldn't stop smiling. Putting everything else aside, if Leo had been the suit actor back then, Godzilla could have been filmed even better. That suit couldn't restrain him at all.

"Forget it, that's not really my style. I'll just take care of some logistical support for you. Don't worry about the start-up capital; my properties should be enough. I'll just need to build up my network."

Leo finished his soda in one gulp. "Where are we at the current stage of preparations?"

"I've just thought of a name. I mean, the name of the first work. How about 'Ultra Q'?"

Who decides on the title of a work before even deciding on the company name? Leo couldn't help but laugh. So, this company was set up specifically for making this one drama, huh?

“Okay, let’s call it ‘Ultra Q,’ Ultra…” Leo subconsciously touched the dark spark on his chest.

For the past three years, Leo has been unable to recover any of his memories. He has made many attempts, but all to no avail. He was particularly anxious at the beginning, but he has gotten used to it now.

"Leo, I have something to show you." Grandpa Tsuburaya sat up and rubbed his temples. "Actually, I've wanted to show you that thing for a long time, but I don't know why I always forget. I can't forget this time."

"What is it?" Leo asked, and Tsuburaya Productions' movements froze for a moment. "Yes, what is it...? What... what do I want to show you?"

This isn't normal. Leo subconsciously looked around, but didn't sense anything amiss. Suddenly, Tsuburaya's gaze fixed on him. "Right, right, the reason I met you is because of that... How could I forget something so important!?"

"This really shouldn't be happening," Tsuburaya Productions thought to himself, but then he felt that the matter wasn't so urgent. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Leo and said, "How about tomorrow?"

“Alright, a couple more days won’t make a difference.” Although Leo didn’t know what Mr. Tsuburaya wanted to show him, three years had already passed, so a few more days wouldn’t make a difference.

"Oh, right." Mr. Tsuburaya clapped his hands. "Tonight I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs and sweet and sour fish!"

"Okay, okay, I'll make it right away." Leo was both amused and exasperated. He was already such a grown man, but his cooking skills were the first thing that won over his entire family.

Watching Leo's retreating figure, Eiji Tsuburaya's gaze suddenly softened considerably. "This kind of life is a kind of compensation for you."

After he finished speaking, Mr. Tsuburaya's gaze returned to normal. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, feeling that he had been distracted for a moment.

Chapter 533 Leo Remembers

Leo is actually quite popular in the Tsuburaya family. He himself didn't expect this, and it was quite a surprise. It seems that being good at cooking is always an advantage.

Early this morning, Mr. Tsuburaya submitted his resignation and then mobilized his network of connections to prepare to start his own business, which startled Toho.

Toho wasn't stupid either; they realized that the portal, championed by Eiji Tsuburaya, the god of tokusatsu, would definitely become one of the flagship brands in the film and television industry.

Leo was in a similar situation. Although his former company tried repeatedly to retain him and even offered him a very high position, Leo still refused.

In comparison, he was actually more curious about what Tsuburaya Productions was planning to show him, and why he was being so mysterious all the time.

That evening, after sending invitations to all his friends, Tsuburaya Productions took Leo to his attic, a place where he often pondered inspiration.

Take out a delicate little box from behind the bookshelf, slowly open it, and place a cloth-wrapped item in Leo's hand. Leo subconsciously squeezes it gently; it's hard, like a stone.

Carefully opening the cloth bag, a red gem appeared before Leo, instantly captivating his attention.

The red gemstone has irregular edges and corners, as if it were cut randomly, and its deep red color is particularly captivating.

Leo could feel that it wasn't as cold as ordinary stones; when he held it in his hand, he clearly felt a warmth emanating from the depths of his heart.

"What is this...?" Leo looked up at Tsuburaya Productions, who smiled proudly, "The Planet of Ultra."

"The Planet of Ultra?" Something suddenly stirred in Leo's mind, and Tsuburaya Productions nodded.

"One night many years ago, I couldn't sleep because of a lack of inspiration, so I thought I would go for a walk by Longsen Lake. That's when I met him."

It was a moonlit night, and Eiji Tsuburaya was taking a walk by Lake Ryusei. He was stuck in a creative block with Godzilla and didn't want the project to be rushed.

It was at this moment that he saw a round, luminous object fly from the sky and fall directly into Dragon Forest Lake.

Driven by intense curiosity, Mr. Tsuburaya ran over and saw the red and silver alien standing by the lake. The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with a strange sense of familiarity, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

Who are you?

"I am Ultraman, from Nebula M78." This gentle yet sacred voice carried a unique kind of kindness. Eiji Tsuburaya savored these words. "Nebula M78, oh..."

"I just sank the monster into the lake." Ultraman turned his head, looked at the beautiful lake in front of him, then turned to the side and extended his hand, spreading his fingers, "This is a token of friendship."

Eiji Tsuburaya reached out and took it, looking at the warm red gem. "This is..."

"The Ultra Star, I think it will be of help to you."

After saying that, Ultraman flew away and disappeared from Eiji Tsuburaya's sight, turning into a shining star in the sky.

As the story ended, the red gem in Leo's hand changed, and it seemed to emit specks of light, twinkling like stars.

"Actually, I find it incredible myself. It was our first meeting, but we felt like we were very familiar and close friends."

Eiji Tsuburaya felt that perhaps it was because the other party felt the same way that they gave him the Ultra Star. "Besides Ultra Q, I also want to make a new TV series called Ultraman."

The moment Tsuburaya's words fell, Leo felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in his ears. His pupils contracted sharply, and he collapsed to the ground, clutching his head.

He gripped the Ultra Star tightly in his hand, large beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, his breathing rapid. Tsuburaya Productions, the old man, was so frightened that he quickly went to support him, "Leo, what's wrong, Leo?"

"I...uh..." My head was throbbing terribly, and a flood of memories was pouring out, not only everything with Renlong and the others, but it seemed that some deeper memories were also eager to come out.

However, he couldn't remember. If his previous memories were like a cell phone that had fallen to the ground and Leo was waiting to pick it up, then these were like something locked firmly in a safe, and he didn't know the password.

The red gemstone emitted a bright light, instantly enveloping the two of them. Leo's headache was finally relieved, and he stood up, pale-faced, and shook his head.

"Really... Ah, I'm going to get scolded now." Leo sighed, helped Mr. Tsuburaya to his feet, and handed the Ultra Star back to him.

Leo's demeanor was very different from before, and his eyes were sharper and brighter. Tsuburaya Productions immediately realized that his memories had returned.

"You remember everything?"

"I would say that most of my memories are deliberately locked away, but... well, there's a big problem now."

Leo scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, took out the Dark Spark, glanced at the cracks on it, and felt a pang of heartache.

"When I first came to this world, I was fighting two monsters. One of them swallowed the other, which was quite troublesome."

"It was arguably the most powerful enemy I've ever encountered, and I was in terrible shape at the time. As a last resort, I had no choice but to throw him into the sun."

Contrary to what many people understand, the sun is not simply burning; it also possesses a powerful force, something Leo only discovered after getting closer.

In order to get rid of the powerful monster and to prevent Earth from suffering, Leo used all his strength to send the monster into the sun, intending to use its power to destroy it.

"So the solar flares back then were also because..."

“Yeah, I did it.” Leo sat on the ground, rubbing his temples. “It was a terrible time. Looking back now, even the power of the sun couldn’t completely destroy it. Maybe in a few years, that guy will come over.”

We'll have to find a way then; we can't let the Earth suffer. Losing memory for a month or two is one thing, but wasting over three years is terrible. If only I had remembered sooner…

Forget it, what's the point of thinking about this now? Leo shook his head and tried to mobilize his power, but it was very difficult. Ultimate Darkness showed considerable inertia.

On the contrary, the light of the plasma spark, after the Ultra Star flashed earlier, the power that had been suppressed by the ultimate darkness was awakened.

"Leo, your enemy is..."

"Zetton, Hyper Zetton." Leo rubbed his head, still feeling a bit scared when he recalled the scene from that time.

He was also wondering why there was no news about Dark Baltan and Narumiya Kazumi. The two of them were actually fighting Hyper Zetton, but it was more of a one-sided crushing defeat than a battle.

Hyper Zetton has no intelligence and fights purely on instinct, while Kepruss relies on its home-field advantage and invincibility to stall for time.

But the moment Hyper Zetton saw Leo, it charged straight at him—who could have predicted that?!

Chapter 534 Jin Guqiao's daughter joins the team!

Leo still remembered that three years ago, after being sucked into the spacetime turbulence by Bruton, he first killed Bruton, and then was targeted by Hyper Zetton.

At that time, Leo was in a very dangerous state due to the rampage of the ultimate darkness within him, and was unable to fully unleash his power.

However, Leo estimated that even if he could unleash his full power, he wouldn't be able to defeat that Hyper Zetton, as its aura was simply too strong.

If Zetton and Ojai were to reach that level, they might truly be able to rival Gatanothor.

Facing Hyper Zetton was troublesome enough, but after killing Bruton, a new monster emerged from the hole it spawned.

This new monster isn't too strong (for Leo). Emperor calls it Greiza. This thing is unchanged for Leo, but its nature is very strange and it's hard to hit.

This one is obviously a time-travel type. If Dimaga hadn't been there, Leo would have gotten Dimaga to slap it a few times. The main problem is that its laughter looks like something out of a horror movie.

Of course, this characteristic is not much of a threat to Leo, mainly because Hyper Zetton is chasing after him and killing him. If you didn't know better, you would think that the two of them are enemies.

At that time, Leo forcibly merged with the three EX Zettons in one go, and with Empera and Lucyel overexerting themselves to withstand the pressure, they were able to unleash power far exceeding expectations.

Even so, it's only barely comparable to Hyper Zetton. As for Greeza, it can only be said to have some mechanism, but Leo himself is half a spacetime type.

At that moment, a red light transformed into a thin line extending from Leo's body, directly pointing him in a direction.

Leo burst out of the spacetime turbulence, with Greeza and Hyper Zetton in hot pursuit, and the three of them arrived in this universe together.

Greeza's voice was so annoying that Leo simply trapped it with Dark Spark. Greeza's nothingness relied on its innate ability as a spacetime monster, and Dark Spark could forcibly stop time.

Unexpectedly, Hyper Zetton chose to abandon Leo and rushed forward to devour Greeza.

While Hyper was devouring Greiza, Leo seized the opportunity, used all his strength to set a seal and then threw it into the sun, but he also used up all his strength and fell towards Earth.

More accurately, it was carried by the armored King Joe and fell towards Earth.

"Armor King Joe?" Tsuburaya Productions was curious as he listened to Leo's description. The two walked along the shore of Lake Ryusei, where there was no one else around.

"Well, you could call them my comrades-in-arms," ​​Leo said with a smile. "Many monsters appear on my side every day. Before Ultraman appeared, people had to rely on their own strength to defeat the monsters."

"But we'll talk about these things later. Sigh, she's been lying in the lake for more than three years. I hope we can coax her back."

With the Ultimate Battle Device unavailable, the Dark Spark damaged, and Rukiel, Empera, and Zetton all asleep, Leo's fighting strength is greatly reduced. If any monsters appear, Leo will have no choice but to rely on his own fists.

After all, the Dark Cloth was also left inside the Ultimate Fighting Device, but it wasn't difficult to awaken King Joe. No matter what, Leo was still Reiblood, not a shelf for the Fighting Device and the Dark Spark.

During this time, I can train my strength as a Reiblood alien, and also develop the Plasma Spark and the power I inherited from Grimd.

Although the reason is unknown, it is a good thing that the ultimate darkness has been sealed. If we don't find a way to balance the power in our bodies, we won't be able to deal with Gatanothor or even Hyper Zetton, let alone Gatanothor and the others.

Leo reached out, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the surroundings. After a while, he opened his eyes again, looking puzzled. "How could this be... Oh, right, one of the Ultramen also sank down."

Upon hearing this, Tsuburaya Productions remembered that there was such a thing, "Are the monsters that Ultraman sank to are still alive?"

"Alive, or rather, living well... It just goes to show how tenacious the monster's vitality is, and this monster looks strangely familiar."

Leo was actually very curious as to why the Ultraman who handed over the Ultra Star to Tsuburaya Productions had to sink a monster into the lake. Surely it wasn't because the monster was too powerful that this was the only option?

That doesn't make sense either. At most, this monster's power is only stronger than Daigo and the others who just regained their transformation abilities. It's roughly the same level as when Dimaga first joined Leo's team.

Filled with questions, Leo kept his eyes closed and channeled his power to awaken Armored King Joe. However, Armored King Joe's spare body hadn't been brought along, so such a large creature could only remain hidden...

"Ok?"

Hearing Leo's questioning voice, Tsuburaya looked over again. Bubbles appeared on the surface of Lake Ryusei, gradually getting smaller as they approached.

Instead of the giant robot I had imagined, what appeared was a pair of eyes that shone brightly even in the darkness—yes, they were truly glowing.

But even Tsuburaya Productions himself was taken aback, instinctively shining his flashlight over, "A girl?"

Yes, a girl, a girl with long, light blonde hair and a strange device on her head, stood there quietly, her gaze fixed on Leo with a hint of resentment.

"Ahem, it was my fault, King Joe. I'm sorry for making you stay down there for three years." Leo was indeed apologetic; he hadn't expected to lose his memory for more than three years.

"You still remember me." Although he was a robot, King Joe's tone was more emotional than Galatrom's back then, and his resentful eyes seemed to be piercing Leo's heart.

But this resentment didn't last long. King Joe sighed, "Never mind... I can't blame you. I was worried that something might happen to you. It's good that you're alright."

"What's wrong with you looking like this?" Leo looked you up and down. The Ultimate Fighting Device was gone. Could Armament King Joe carry his human body with him at all times like Zetton and the others?

"My original body is no longer usable; only the core can detach."

King Joe touched her body. Her core had long been secretly modified by Galatrom using Specia. In fact, it could be said that the core was her true form. Specia's properties could simulate everything, including humans.

"How are Sister Jetton and the others doing?"

"They're still asleep, but I'll try my best to wake them up. There are just too many things I don't understand. Oh, by the way, this is director Eiji Tsuburaya, who is also a good friend of mine."

Upon hearing Leo's explanation, King Joe paused briefly, then her expression changed noticeably, a rare occurrence. Her core didn't immediately grasp the meaning, "...What the heck???"
