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

Page 314

Although everyone in the ESCG, except for Leo, is a master of crashing planes, in the current situation, everyone in the Armory feels that they should be equipped with better gear, as fighter jets alone are probably not enough.

"Use fighter jets, that's Vice Captain Leo's instruction. Desfasa and the others might not be used to them." Jugglus Juggler knew very well that if he gave them to Desfasa, Daigo and the others would have a hard time finding an opportunity to transform.

Since it was Leo's order, no one had any objections, and everyone buried themselves in their work. Jugglus Juggler also picked up his tools and joined in.

On the other side, Raymond, supporting his lower back with one hand against the wall, gasped as he walked. Ouch! He now understood how Ace Killer King must have felt when facing Razor Demagai.

It's really impossible to hurt Gomora at all. All of Gomora's attacks are physical, and Dimaga has already practiced moves like the Super Temperature Difference Beam with Leo's evolved Lagras. It's not that he was completely unharmed, but his clothes were only slightly dirty.

In other words, Black Raine was initially somewhat effective, but only at the very beginning. Later on, the blue fireball that could easily kill Zoga became ineffective against Dimaga. It was from that point that Raymond realized how terrifying the mechanics were.

"Raymond, what are you doing here? What happened to you..." Xincheng rushed over to help Raymond up. Looking at his disheveled appearance, it was as if he had been abandoned in the wilderness for more than a month.

"The Knicks said I'm not strong enough and made me train more... The opponents are Razor Dimaga and EX Zetton." Raymond felt like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and Gomora and the others were also completely exhausted.

After Dimaga left, Raymond rested for a while, and then he saw the Zetton sisters, whom Leo had sent to give him guidance. Zetton was the opponent, Oja was the mentor, and Jet, a pure stat-based player, was just watching the show.

Raymond had thought that switching to EX Zetton would at least be better than Razor Demaga, who became less and less effective the longer the fight went on. However, he felt that EX Zetton possessed an even stronger dominance than Razor Demaga.

Raymond, remember, there are differences even between EX-level monsters.

As Ojai said this, Jeton easily flung Gomora away, caught the barrage of super-temperature fireballs with his bare hands, and even leaped up to knock Black Rayon down.

The Zettons' pride and joy, teleportation and barriers, are completely useless, merely demonstrating their strength as an EX monster, but that's not all.

If it were just an EX monster, even a piece of trash like the Zettonians could train one. But aside from appearance, the EX Zettons they trained couldn't compare to Miss Zetton in any way. Well, in Leo's opinion, even appearance was inferior.

Afterwards, the Jet sisters demonstrated to Raymond what the pinnacle of EX monsters was like. He even suspected that the two sisters had a grudge against each other, since they even used joint locks when they sparred.

But it was also this time that Raymond experienced the level of an EX monster up close. Ojael told him that EX transformation is the full development of a monster's potential, but if Reionics, as the controller, is strong enough, he can also make the monster undergo some special changes.

These changes often depend on a strong desire in the hearts of both Reonicus, the controller, and the monster itself.

For example, Zetton's ability to imitate various skills, Jet's super strength, Ozil's incredible learning of combat techniques, and the combined ability of the three of them to become Hyper Zetton—that's what it's all about.

The reason Raymond hasn't been able to evolve Gomora to EX level is because he lacks strong emotions or desires; neither he nor Gomora knows which EX level would be most suitable for them.

"Are you alright?"

"It's alright, just a bit disheveled." Raymond shook his head. He had absorbed a lot of energy from the plasma crystals in the plasma universe, so this time he had truly gained a lot.

"Go and rest first, tomorrow might be a tough battle."

"The time for the final battle has been set?" Raymond was somewhat surprised, then realized that he might have underestimated the enemy's strength; it seemed that the plasma crystal pillars couldn't hold out for much longer.

"Not yet, but it'll probably be tomorrow. The decisive meeting is about to be held, and I wanted to go listen, but unfortunately I can't."

A global emergency meeting requires at least a team leader level to participate, and Xincheng felt that even if he tried, he probably wouldn't understand the content.

"But all we need to do is wait for orders, and I have more important things to do."

"What's the matter?" Raymond asked curiously, but Xincheng scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. "Go teach people how to survive a plane crash."

Raymond was speechless for a moment. Remembering the identities of the large group of people from ESCG and Jugglus's complaints about them, he felt it would be better to let those guys teach them; they were far too experienced.

Chapter 617 Before the Battle (Part 5)

In the temporary meeting room of the TPC Supreme Meeting, this time the representatives from each branch finally appeared in person, instead of just via projector.

Judging from the exhaustion in their eyes, the events and busy work of the day alone had left them physically and mentally exhausted. Since its establishment, TPC has never suffered such a huge loss of personnel.

Not to mention that this time we have to carry out such a large-scale relocation. With limited time and a lot of things to do, anyone would feel exhausted.

At this moment, the top executives of TPC gathered together, but it wasn't as serious as one might expect. Some were eating boxed lunches, some were catching up on sleep with eye masks on, and others were reading reports compiled by Galatron. It was all very casual.

Several captains from TPC headquarters, except for Jugglus Juggler, were present, including Hyuga, the captain of the newly formed Panlong Team. The captains of the other branches were not there because they needed to make adjustments to their fighter jets.

Both Megumi and Shunichi Maki glanced at Gento subconsciously. His injuries had almost healed. The people from ESCG were indeed extraordinary; they had recovered from those injuries so quickly.

But this is actually thanks to the plasma crystal pillars that are now inserted all over the earth. The plasma spark energy that Leo filled in them is constantly spreading to the whole earth. Although darkness has broken out, the light in the air is more abundant than ever before.

Genji is in better condition than ever before and is very energetic, but his mood is not very good. Everyone around him is more aware of the current situation on Earth, and their faces are not good.

Director Sawai and Director Yoshioka were both lying in their chairs with their eyes closed, resting. The meeting was still missing one person, who was also the most important person.

With a creak, the conference room door opened again, and a series of loud, steady footsteps echoed in the room. Those who had been resting with their eyes closed opened them, and those who were eating turned around. Looking at the confident expression on Leo's face, they felt a little more at ease.

Today, Leo has become a symbol of the Earth Defense Force, as if with him around, any crisis or enemy can be resolved.

"Shall I chair the meeting?" Leo glanced at Director Sawai, who nodded. Director Yoshioka waved his hand impatiently, "At this point, there's no need to ask such questions."

"That's true," Leo thought for a moment, then walked onto the stage and clapped his hands. He shared the plan he and Galatron had come up with with everyone while taking out the Ultimate Fighting Device and placing it to the side.

This was tantamount to directly revealing his identity, but no one was surprised. The people here weren't stupid; they had all come to their senses over the past few days. Their trust in each other was evident, and everyone had witnessed Leo's abilities and everything he had done.

"Everyone, let's begin."

Leo raised his hand, and a model projection of the entire Earth appeared behind him, showing the nine main ley lines and the conditions in various places.

"As you can see, the ultimate darkness has completely erupted and is currently active. Although it has been temporarily suppressed by the plasma crystal pillars, it will become uncontrollable in a day at most."

"Currently, there are four seals remaining on Earth: Gatanothor, Grimd, the River of Oblivion, and the Dark Shadow Mage. However, only the Dark Shadow Mage is actually sealed."

"The situation in the River of Oblivion is quite complicated. Gatanothor and Grimd have joined forces, and the Dark Shadow Mage... is the strongest, more powerful than any enemy before."

Leo rarely said such things, and everyone had already witnessed the Dark Shadow Mage's abilities, so they knew he wasn't exaggerating.

"What about the combat assignments?" Staff Officer Gondo raised his hand. He hadn't had time to change out of his combat uniform, nor did he intend to.

"ESCG is responsible for dealing with Gatanjah, while the Armory's target is Grimd. The mechanical legion under Galatron will clear the way, and the rest of the troops will be responsible for guarding the Australian headquarters."

This plan, which can be summarized in a single sentence, is absurd. But the first reaction of everyone present was: Is it because I don't understand enough and can't keep up with Leo's thinking?

"Gatanothor and Grimd have clearly expressed their destructive tendencies toward humanity. If the war begins, they will definitely launch an attack here first. At that time, headquarters will have to face an endless army of monsters, and we must have sufficient combat power."

"But... with only the Armory and ESCG, how can we possibly deal with Gatanothor and Grimd? Our combat strength is far too insufficient, isn't it?"

“My monsters will help them.” Leo didn’t reveal Daigo and the others’ identities, but his words were clear and reassured everyone. “As for the Dark Shadow Mage, I’ll deal with him.”

"Are you alright?" Advisor Fukami was also worried. The Dark Shadow Mage was powerful, and it would be quite difficult for Leo to fight him alone.

"This is my ill-fated relationship with him, and only I know how to get rid of him completely." Leo shook his head. This was a feud between him and the Dark Shadow Mage, and only he could end it.

The past Leo facilitated the birth of the Shadow Mage, and the existence of the Shadow Mage has allowed the present Leo to stand here; both sides...

In the more than 10,000 years of the Plasma Universe, apart from creating plasma crystal pillars and harmonizing the power within his body, Leo considered many ways to deal with the Dark Shadow Mage. Delacion and the King of Ultra both gave him some advice.

However, with the strength of a Dark Shadow Mage, many strategies are no longer feasible. Leo can only take a gamble. Apart from himself, only Galatrom, Renlong, and Zetton know about his plan.

“I disagree.” Minister Wang of the Asian branch stood up, his expression serious. “The risk is too great. ESCG and the Armory will have to face two terrifyingly powerful monsters on their own, and you will have to deal with the Dark Shadow Mage.”

"The Asian branch's defense force has completed its personnel replenishment and reorganization. As for the new team, I dare not tell the Tenglong second and third teams that they can't even help this time!"

Upon hearing this, Marianne, the head of the European branch, also stood up. "I disagree too!"

"The African branch also opposes it, but our defense force will not fear any enemy."

"The Australian branch cannot stand idly by and watch its allies go into battle alone. The Galaoguma Legion and MK2 should be enough to protect the front line."

"Our American branch cannot back down at this time. Let's not forget who was the first to land on the moon."

"Get lost! Do you think our Siberian Eastern European branch is a pushover? The Siberian White Bear Detachment has always had the lowest casualties. We missed out on the last one, Goblin, but we can't miss it this time."

Due to geographical location and the number of monsters, there used to be only one team in Eastern Europe: the White Bear Defense Force of the Siberian branch. It was not mobilized during the Goblin Newe operation. It was only in the last few months that it was expanded and officially renamed the Eastern European branch.

The group of big shots in front of him were all making a ruckus, which gave Leo a headache, but he was also very happy. Despite the current situation, everyone still had hope and a high level of fighting spirit.

"Listen to me," Leo said firmly, and the entire room fell silent. "I beg you all, I have my reasons. We are still unsure of the enemy's strength. Ninety percent of humanity is gathered here, so we cannot afford to be careless."

Seeing Leo's serious expression, everyone swallowed back what they wanted to say. Although they were very worried, it was Leo's proposal after all, and he had proven many times before that his plans could always achieve their goals very accurately in certain areas.

“Since Leo has said so, let’s do it this way…though I’m very reluctant.” Advisor Fukami sighed. He couldn’t offer any good advice on this matter either. Gondo hesitated, knowing that his opinion was no longer enough to change anything.

Over the next few minutes, Leo went into detail about all the plans for tomorrow, but anyone with a bit of sense would soon realize that he made no mention of Ultraman.

He only thought that Leo and the Ultramen had reached an agreement, without realizing that the people in ESCG and the Armory were basically Ultramen. After all, even if the Dark Shadow Mage came, he wouldn't believe it, let alone Daigo and the others had already joined the defense team and hadn't transformed in the early years.

Director Sawai and Director Yoshioka looked at Leo on the stage, who was in control of the entire room and exuded a powerful aura. The more they looked, the more satisfied they became. Who would have thought that just three months ago, Leo was even somewhat unconfident when submitting a report?

Chapter 618 Before the War (Part 7)

The operational meeting lasted three hours, discussing many details of the plan. Finally, Leo announced the end of the meeting, and everyone went back to give instructions and rest. They were really exhausted, especially from the mental pressure they had been under.

"Vice Captain Leo!" Staff Officer Gondo called out to Leo, "Um, I... I want to operate with your ESCG as a combatant!"

"Join us?" Leo hesitated for a moment, then decisively shook his head in refusal. "No way."

"Why? Although I've been stationed in the rear for a long time, I've never neglected to hone my driving skills and combat techniques. All my stats are still quite high!"

Gondo wasn't exaggerating. His driving skills were top-notch, and he didn't have the mysterious causal relationship of Shinjo's plane crash. He wasn't as good as Rena, but he was definitely not far behind.

“…Gondo, you don’t understand.” Leo patted him on the shoulder. “If things get to the worst, we’ll need one or two people to take over my job in battlefield command.”

Gondo was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond. He already knew that Leo was Knicks, and even couldn't help but scold himself for being so slow-witted; it was no different from Leo not hiding anything at all.

If Leo were to deal with the Dark Shadow Mage, he would definitely be unable to command the battlefield. At that time, it wouldn't be enough for him to rely on Gondo alone. Although Gondo often acts without thinking, he is truly unparalleled in commanding battles.

"This mission isn't about having as many people as possible; you'll see later." Leo didn't say anything more. "Go and rest. You've worked hard all day; you need to be well-rested for the upcoming battle."

Kondo wanted to say something more, but then he saw Leo's gaze and Chariga walking towards him, so he had no choice but to leave; he also had a lot to do.

Seeing Chariga walking towards them, Leo took a monster capsule out of his pocket and tossed it over, saying, "Here you go."

"What is this?" Chariga examined it, then his eyes widened in disbelief. "Ya... Yanagaki! He's back! He's finally back!"

Charlie jumped up excitedly, bumped into the TPC corridor ceiling, and fell down. He didn't even care about his headache and kissed the monster capsule.

For Chariga, Yanagaki held a very special significance. Even before he became a dimensional merchant, he and Yanagaki had been inseparable and had a deep relationship.

"After we parted ways, it was taken to Earth and sealed in Lake Longsen. Then it met me again. It can be considered a kind of fate."

Leo chuckled as he recalled this. After King Joe found an opportunity to hide, he settled down near Lake Ryusei, guarding the entrance to the Plasma Universe. He even started a fish farming business, but no matter how many fish he raised, they were all eaten by Yanagaki.

"Thank you so much, Leo. I really didn't expect to find Yanagaki so quickly."

"Well... I should thank you. You could have just left, but you stayed to help. That's not like a businessman."

Honestly, no one would say anything if Charlie left; it's only natural. But his decision to stay and help is truly admirable.

“As a businessman, profit is naturally the priority, but as a friend, how can I run away at a time like this?” Charlie scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Besides, I've figured it out. If you can't handle things here, countless universes will suffer. Not to mention how many clients we'll lose, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive myself."

As far as Chariga knows, even the King of Ultra was ambushed by the Dark Shadow Mage and was unable to step forward to solve the problem. You can imagine how critical this matter is. If we don't help Earth, are we just waiting to die?

Moreover, from a long-term perspective, if Earth can weather this crisis, humanity on this planet will definitely become one of the most powerful forces in the universe and even the surrounding universes. Where else can we find such a big client if we miss this opportunity?

Leo could see through Charlie's thoughts, but that was normal and there was nothing to say. He said goodbye to Charlie and headed towards his dormitory. He had only stayed in the dormitory assigned by TPC a handful of times, but he would be sleeping here tonight.

"Vice Captain Leo, would you like to rest? I have some food here, please try it."

"Mr. Leo, are you alright? Should you go to the medical department for a check-up?"

"Vice Captain Leo, you've come at the right time. We were just about to go out for dinner together. Would you like to join us?"

Leo encountered many people along the way. With the great battle imminent, everyone was busy. The TPC and Galatron processing plants were ramping up the production of live ammunition, and the medical department was allocating personnel and treating the wounded.

People were busy with tomorrow's plans, but they didn't seem flustered. When they saw Leo, they would greet him and Leo would also greet everyone before returning to his dormitory.

The Ultimate Fighting Device flew out of Leo's arms, hovering around him as if it were about to burst, and even rubbed against his face. "How's your condition?"

The Ultimate Fighting Device transformed into an appearance identical to Miss Zetton, but with a deep blue chest and red crystal ornaments on her forehead. Her eyes made no attempt to conceal her desire for Leo. "Very good."

"What should I call you, Maga Zetton or Hyper Zetton?" Leo only had time to consider this question now, after all, before he returned from the Plasma Universe, the memories of the Ultimate Fighting Device had not been fully restored.

Leo never dreamed that the Limit Fighting Device didn't naturally generate consciousness, but rather that the consciousness of Hyper Zetton, which was placed inside by the King of Ultra, was reborn after being replenished by Leo's mental energy.

"Hmm... how about Angela?" Angela sat on Leo's lap, her arms wrapped around his neck, her eyes sparkling. "I think it's pretty good."

After all, the names Zetton and Jet already have owners. Names like Ojir sound nice, and Angela is also good. She truly belongs to Leo and is the first Zetton born in all universes.

Because of her existence, the monster species Zetton came into being. Thinking about it this way, when she hadn't regained her memories, choosing to absorb the power of Maga Zetton and Dark Zetton was also an instinctive act.

"How are the preparations going?" Leo let Angela hug him, after all, it was something he owed her, and right now the most important thing was the preparations for the final battle.

"Sigh, still not enough. I originally thought it was my fault, but now it seems that Gatanothor and Grimd were prepared. I failed to collect all the souls of Maga-Orochi and Saigoku, and made up for it with my own."

"So that means they have a portion of it..." Leo frowned; this was not good news.

"Yes, but there's no use worrying about it now. Let's rest for a while. You haven't had a rest in a long time."

Putting everything else aside, these plasma crystal pillars alone took Leo nearly 10,000 years to polish. Although they were a byproduct of energy regulation, it was unexpected that they could only last for a day and a half. Ultimate Darkness is a bit overpowered.

Leo also needed some time to rest and adjust. He glanced at the time, lay down on the bed, and said, "Wake me up in three hours."
