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

Sphiadinolim was indeed killed by Leo at that time, but he was a Reiblood and had a strong spirit. Although he would probably have awakened earlier if Renlong hadn't intervened, he wouldn't have reached his current potential.

Raymond thought about it and decided that if he couldn't learn this move, then he should just give up. His main problem was that he and Gomora's strength had increased many times over since they came to Earth, so why hadn't they awakened yet?

"The greater your talent, the harder it is to discover. I will try my best to help you in the future, so don't worry."

Leo patted Raymond on the shoulder, indicating that it was no problem. Before Raymond could thank him, he felt his footing give way and he fell straight down. When he came to his senses, he was in the Plasma Universe, where he saw Dimaga idly carving a statue of Leo with his wrist blade.

"Yo, you're here." Upon seeing Raymond, Dimaga quickly stood up, rubbed his hands together, and transformed into Razor Dimaga. "Come on, let's practice."

The others were dumbfounded, but Leo clapped his hands and said, "It's okay, give him some time to train, he'll be back soon."

The plasma universe and the real universe have a time difference of two hundred times. If one hour is used as two hundred hours, Raymond will be close to awakening even if he doesn't reach that point.

After all, according to Dr. Otomo and Galatron's research data, the awakening of Reonics requires strong emotional fluctuations, just as Renina once said, emotions can make life burst forth with potential power.

Raymond, as a backup body that Reibrow had probably created for himself, naturally possessed immense potential. Leo felt that relying solely on MK2 was insufficient for his progress; Dimaga himself needed to give him a thorough beating.

"Vice Captain Leo, why did you specifically tell us not to transform this time?" Haruki didn't quite understand. In that situation, if they had transformed, it would have reduced casualties and many people could have survived.

“Then Gatanothor and Grimd will not hesitate to take action and eliminate you all.” Leo sighed. “It’s a very difficult choice, and Galatrom can’t do anything about it.”

"Gatarine and Grimd are wary of me, and they are just as wary of you. After being sealed away by you, they have become even stronger and now seek to destroy you all in one fell swoop."

"The reason the enemy is advancing their offensive so slowly this time is not only to exhaust humanity's strength, but also to force you to appear."

At least that's what Grimd thought. Leo could easily guess what that guy was thinking. Obviously, Grimd and the others were also worried that Daigo and the others would suddenly erupt like they did 30 million years ago.

If Daigo and the others were to transform this time, Gatanothor and Grimd would definitely destroy them in the quickest and simplest way. Although Daigo and the others have also become stronger, Gatanothor and the others are undoubtedly even more powerful after absorbing the ultimate darkness.

“In the environment of ultimate darkness, you are unable to use your full power, so I devised a way to create the plasma crystal pillar. With it, you will be able to deal with Gatanothor and the others in the best possible condition.”

"The final battle is scheduled for noon tomorrow, after the global evacuation is complete. I will deal with the Dark Shadow Mage, and I'll leave Gatanothor and Grimd to you."

The battle plan hasn't been finalized yet, but everything will be decided at tonight's meeting. While the plasma crystal pillars can still suppress the ultimate darkness, the sooner we act, the better.

Hearing this, everyone nodded. Leo leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath. "Let's call it a day. I have some things to do. Go back and check my notification... I'll give everyone a short break today."

This also gives everyone some time. If there's anything you want to do or say, do it now. Who knows what the world will be like tomorrow?

This also meant that Leo wasn't entirely confident about the war, and everyone's hearts sank. They then left. There would be no more monsters appearing on Earth today, but no one was happy about it.

Chapter 612 About Marriage

At the foot of Mount Everest, Leo looked up at the dark mountain range and sighed, "Silly bird, I told you to leave everything to me, but you insisted on being stubborn."

“I apologize for saying it was a joke before.” Empera held Leo’s hand and looked at the highest mountain on Earth in front of her. She really didn’t expect Magabasa to do this all by himself.

The peak that adventurers once relentlessly challenged is now visibly filled with an aura of darkness. Even with dozens of plasma crystal pillars thousands of meters long constantly releasing light that could wipe out ordinary dark monsters, the darkness shows no sign of dissipating.

Furthermore, this darkness is attempting to erode the plasma crystal pillars, causing their light to be consumed at an even faster rate.

This means that the Dark Shadow Mage's true form has fully awakened, and He is eager to break through the seal, gather all the darkness within Him to devour everything around Him.

“This guy is even more powerful than he was 30 million years ago.” Luciel appeared beside Leo, pursing her lips. She had seen the Dark Shadow Mage 30 million years ago, and he was a terrifying being that could not be destroyed by sheer force.

Now, after 30 million years of accumulation, the Dark Shadow Mage is probably only one step away from becoming a legend, and the seal won't hold for much longer.

"But what about us..."

Leo sighed. In order to maintain the stability of the multiverse, Delacion sacrificed himself and merged into multiple universes. The Dark Shadow Mage promoted the merging of two universes, making the King of Ultra hesitant to act. The connection with the universe from the Land of Light was also severed.

Leo wasn't quite sure who Regedo was, but Noah... was most likely Nexus. However, the current Komon seemed to have no memories related to Noah, suggesting that the consumption of his life back then was significant.

Just as he was thinking this, the darkness that kept overflowing from Mount Everest swirled and condensed, transforming into the phantom of a shadow mage who looked down at Leo from above and let out a sinister laugh.

"Hehehe, Reiblood, you didn't expect this, did you? I still managed to break the seal."

Unlike his clone, whose eyes were practically blind, the Dark Shadow Mage's true form could genuinely recognize Leo's identity and directly see the soul essence hidden beneath the complex composition.

"Come out of there first before you try to be arrogant with me. You're just a being that was created by fusing with my Battle Device. You got beaten up by Ultraman King and the others. What can you possibly do?"

Leo was always very good at roasting people, and Luciel, who seemed to have thought of something, poked Leo's arm and asked, "Leo, does he count as your son?"

"..." Leo really didn't expect it could be calculated like this. He was stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook his head, "I don't want a son like that."

This directly utterly humiliated the Dark Shadow Mage, leaving him speechless with rage. But no matter what he said or did, he couldn't change the fact that he had indeed evolved from Leo's former battle device.

This is the fundamental reason why he has the powerful ability to control monsters. Reiblood, who once existed as a legend, is undoubtedly the number one monster control master in the entire universe. His Battle Nerve can control monsters at will. Of course, Leo is on the same level as him.

"All you can do now is talk. Just wait, Reiblood, you, Delacion, and even the King of Ultra, none of you will escape!"

"Heh, we'll see who runs away then." Putting everything else aside, we can't afford to lose in terms of momentum; Leo is no pushover these days.

The conflict between the two sides is irreconcilable. The Dark Shadow Mage was born from negative energy, which is an inevitable phenomenon in the process of civilization's development, similar to cancer cells in the multiverse, the kind that cannot be allowed to survive.

"Then just wait and see, these crystal pillars formed from your body... Ha, Gatanothor and Grimd, those two are worried that I'll be the one lurking behind them."

With just these crystal pillars, Gatanothor and Grimd wouldn't be too weak. They simply didn't want to fight Leo to the death and end up being taken advantage of by the Dark Shadow Mage.

"With your personality, how could you possibly hold back then?" Leo rolled his eyes. If he really fought Gatanothor and the others to a draw, the Dark Shadow Mage would definitely break free of the seal and seize the power of ultimate darkness.

The Dark Shadow Mage didn't answer, but just sneered and shrank back. Leo also turned around and teleported back to the entrance of the Renlong Shrine. He turned his head and glanced at the now completely quiet city, his eyes filled with a sense of loneliness.

At this time of year, the city is usually awake, and you can see the entire city from here. The factory area, commercial area, and residential area should be the most lively at this time, and you can hear the laughter of students.

But now, the city has stopped breathing, and people are constantly migrating backward, spreading along the ninth unpolluted ley line. Renlong had considered this situation back then, so he specifically relocated the ley line.

"Welcome back." It was the same familiar voice. Leo turned around, opened his arms, and hugged his beloved Miss Renlong.

The familiar, natural scent lifted Leo's spirits somewhat. Renlong, knowing his worries, gently patted his back, saying, "You've done very well. Don't put all the responsibility on your shoulders."

"With so many people in the family, they can always share some of the burden for you. We were also unable to participate this time, and we all bear responsibility for that."

"...I just..." Leo hesitated, then leaned against Renlong. "I'm sorry to them."

If I were stronger, I could have taken action to solve these problems directly back then, would so many people have been spared from sacrifice?

Renlong naturally knew what her husband was thinking. Leo could be cruel to his enemies, but he didn't want to lose any of his own people, let alone his comrades-in-arms. But this was something that couldn't be avoided.

“If you keep looking down, that will make their sacrifices worthless, and they won’t want to see that.”

"Go and end all of this, Leo. This war has gone on long enough. Perhaps in the end, you can bring about a miracle you never imagined."

Reaching out to stroke Leo's face, Renlong's eyes revealed a deep tenderness, hope, and determination never before shown.

She wrapped her arms around Leo's waist, a rare smile on her face, and said, "After this war is over, I want you to marry me."

Leo was amused by Renlong's words and reached out to pinch her cheek. "In movies and novels, characters who say these kinds of lines before a final battle usually don't have a good ending."

"If we win, you'll marry me. If... it's the worst outcome, I still hope to die with you."

“Then let’s discard the latter possibility.” Leo kissed Renlong’s forehead. “I will marry you, I promise.”

"Only marry Sister Renlong?" Aojie'er's voice came from behind Leo. Zetton and Jet hugged Leo's arms on either side, while Aojie'er wrapped her arms around Leo's waist.

Especially Jaden, who even shook her ring, making Leo laugh. "Well, we can't just say we'll marry her all at once, can we? That wouldn't feel right for inviting everyone to the wedding."

"It's alright, once a month is fine too." Rainbow Kagachi carried Little Gatan out. "We don't have many family members, so the wedding can probably be completed in a few years, right?"

“…That would be best.” Leo recalled what Future had said and subconsciously looked at King Grand, who was clinging to his leg. Although those red eyes were full of expectation, Leo couldn’t bring himself to hurt him because of his appearance, which was sitting at the same table as Gatanothor.

Upon hearing this topic, even Cordara, who was resting in the pond, couldn't help but stick her head out and stare at Leo. Although she and Hillary didn't have the same strong feelings for Leo as the others, it was only a matter of time before they ended up in this family for a while.

"What? You're getting married and you're not taking me?" Dimaga had just returned when he heard this bombshell news and rushed over anxiously. "My best friend is with me too! We promised to get married together."

It seems this chaotic trio is quite united. Leo shook his head helplessly, "How was Raymond's performance?"

Almost an hour has passed here, and it's been about a week in the Plasma Universe. Besides Dimaga, Bishop Gloca and MK3 also went to check on Raymond. Of course, MK4 is out of the question.

"Pretty good. It's quite good for a punching bag. It has improved a lot. Indeed, combat is the food for Reonics' growth."

At least Dimaga got a good beating, while Gomora and the others couldn't even scratch her. Dimaga's defining characteristic is truly shamelessness.

"Oh right, boss, that guy named Raymond asked if you could turn all his monsters into humanoid forms like us, saying that would let Gomora and the others experience human life."

“That’s not a problem.” Leo thought for a moment. With his current abilities, it was a small matter. He took out the Ultimate Fighting Device. “Before that, let’s get to know our new family members.”

As he spoke, Leo released Plasma Gomora. Although this girl had been with Leo in the Plasma Universe for a long time and was quite powerful, she was still rather soft-hearted. She tried to hide behind Leo but found that he was completely enveloped.

"A new sister, huh? She looks pretty strong too." Dimaga leaned closer, while Leo held onto Plasma Gomora to keep her from getting nervous. When she wasn't in battle, this girl was even more of an ostrich than Gorgorgon.

That makes sense, there are so many people in this family who are much stronger than her. What she learned in the Plasma Universe was that the weak should submit to the strong.

"And then there's King Joe, she'll be back later, and there are guards in the Plasma Universe... Let's forget about that child, she's too weak."

Leo thought for a moment and then shook his head, leaving everyone puzzled. However, there were still people waiting for Leo to meet next.

Meanwhile, the ESCG members, who had been given a short break by Leo, were also enjoying their rare, and perhaps last, vacation.

Chapter 613 Before the Battle (Part 1)

To ensure public safety should darkness erupt again, evacuation efforts continue. According to data provided by Nix, also known as Leo, people around the world are trying to crowd onto the Ninth Main Vein.

New shelters are not a problem; Galatrom's construction speed is terrifying. TPC will handle resource allocation, with Galatrom only providing assistance.

But right now, the most important thing is to replenish their fighting strength. After the outbreak of darkness, they will mostly be dealing with Gatanothor and Grimd, and the sheer number of monsters that will be generated will be enormous... Gento is a little worried.

Amidst his worry, he was also overcome with grief. In just one hour this morning, TPC's elite combat force had been reduced by nearly 40%, many of whom were his old friends, especially the captains of various defense teams, all of whom had been sent out by the Storm Commando.

"Dad, do you really not have anything to do today?" Jun Hiruma's voice brought Gento back to his senses. He turned around and looked at his wife and children, who had only packed a few things. "Aren't you going to bring more things?"

"No need, these are fine with you."

Tomoko Hiruma looked at her small suitcase, which was filled with compressed dry food and various medicines. She had met Captain Gento when she was a nurse at TPC, but she changed jobs after having a son.

“You’re fighting on the front lines, so I should do something too,” Tomoko Hiruma said with a smile. Her son, Junya Hiruma, nodded quickly. “Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll protect Mom!”

"Tomoko, Jun..." Gento Hiruma didn't know what to say for a moment, he just hugged them.

Tomoko Hiruma could clearly sense that her husband's voice was trembling. He was indeed sad and worried, so she could only gently pat his back to comfort him.

The last time she saw Gentoo like this since their marriage was during the battle against King Silvergon, when TPC suffered heavy losses.

Taking a deep breath, Gento forced himself to calm down, squatted down and reached out to put his hand on his son's head, but after thinking for a moment, he put it on his shoulder instead. "Jun, you are a man, you have to take good care of yourself. I'm counting on you."

"Yes! Dad, keep it up!"

"We will all be fine." Genji patted his wife and children's heads, then put them on the vehicle heading to the shelter.

On the other side, Lina followed Daigo through a meadow full of flowers. This was Australia, the temporary headquarters of TPC, and humanity's most important refuge.

"Daigo, why did you bring me here?" Lina had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on, but she still couldn't help asking.

Although Daigo was transferred to ESCG, everyone was still at headquarters, and they even lived in adjacent dormitories. Her relationship with Daigo grew stronger and stronger, which was much better than that of Gamu and Atsuko, who could only see each other a few days a week, or even not at all when they were busy.

"Lina, I'm a little scared."

Daigo's sudden words caught Rena off guard, leaving her momentarily speechless. She looked at her beloved in confusion, and Daigo turned to her. "The vice-captain said that this battle will be more difficult than any previous one."

"To be honest, it was the first time I'd ever seen the vice-captain with such a serious expression, and it made me very uneasy. I think the others felt the same way."

Daigo and the others were well aware of Leo's strength. Even Leo showed that kind of expression, which showed how difficult this matter was. He was very worried.

Lina stepped forward and took Daigo's hand. "Don't worry, I'm here, as is the captain, and everyone is here for you."

"I know." Daigo also squeezed Rena's hand, looking at her solemnly. "I know, Rena, it is because of you that I have been able to get to where I am today."

Looking into Daigo's eyes, Rena didn't know what to say for a moment. She tried to compose herself and said in a half-joking tone, "How about I temporarily transfer to ESCG to partner with you?"

"No, we each have things to do, Lina. I just think... it's better to clarify some things beforehand."

Daigo gently parted Rena's fingers and placed a ring, which he had been holding without her noticing, in her palm. His tone was sincere and firm, "Will you marry me, Rena?"

"..." Lina didn't expect it to happen today, or even now, but it was indeed a reasonable time.

Normally, she would have readily agreed, but after a brief moment of thought, she shook her head, took off the necklace from her neck, strung the rings together, and put them on Daigo's neck.

"I don't want to." Lina took a small step back, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward a little, and smiled at Daigo. "After this is over, I want you to put the ring on my finger yourself, and you have to go and tell my father that you want to marry me."

"So Daigo, you must come back. I'm waiting for you to come back too."

Seeing the love and determination in his beloved's eyes, Daigo nodded. "Wait for me, Rena."

Meanwhile, in a completely empty bar, Kai and Jugglus sat together, grabbed a bottle of liquor, put the money on the table, and Jugglus casually chatted as usual, "Are you confident?"

"Even the vice-captain had that expression, so you could feel the difference in strength between Gatanothor and the others... The strongest Maga Ultimate Serpent in our memories was nothing more than a pawn in front of her."

Hong Kai shook his head. He wasn't sure about the matter either, but he still had to do it. "I need your help again this time."

"...Didn't I say I would never help you again?" Jugglus felt something was off.
