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

The thought that he wasn't even a natural at this made Zetton even more frustrated. This was unfair! That damned Dark Shadow Mage! It was all his fault for causing Leo to crash to Earth and not grow up naturally.

"Don't be sad, Zetton, I love you." Now that things had come to this, Leo was someone who could say these words casually, and Zetton's mood immediately improved.

"I want to hear it too! I want to hear it too!" King Joe put down the vegetables he was holding, grabbed Leo's hand and shook it back and forth. "Quickly say you love me, or if you really can't, just say you like me."

“We want some too!” O’Jel raised her hands, offering her opinion on behalf of Jet.

"Yes, I love you all too."

While rubbing King Joe's head, Leo sincerely felt that this kind of life was really good, but unfortunately, he felt that it wouldn't last much longer.

Chapter 570 Farewell to 4K

"We've come at the worst possible time, sigh." Renina muttered to herself as she led Ayako away, but her eyes kept glancing at the surroundings.

Recently, because Gatanothor and Grimd have begun to restrain their power, the Ultimate Darkness has not created too many monsters, only about a hundred per day.

From this point, it is not difficult to see how much Ultimate Darkness Gatanothor and Grimd each possessed.

According to Galatron, the ultimate darkness is one stone in total, with Gatanothor, Grimd, the Dark Shadow Mage, and the River of Oblivion each taking 20%, and the remaining four great seals taking 20% ​​each.

Now that fewer monsters are appearing, people know that a fierce battle is likely to follow, and they are busy making preparations: building shelters, stockpiling and transporting supplies, and arranging personnel.

Suddenly, the city seemed much quieter, and everyone on the street was discussing what would happen next and what the world would become.

"I heard that massive tsunamis have been hitting the Pacific Ocean for three consecutive days, but thankfully they were all stopped by Ultraman Agul and Ultraman Kodara."

"Hopefully, the people over there are alright. TPC is currently preparing to relocate residents of coastal cities to the inland areas and establish a defense perimeter centered on Australia. Other areas should also be gathered near the various branches as much as possible."

"That would probably need a lot of people. We don't have classes this afternoon, let's volunteer!"

"Do you think I don't want to? The line was so long when I went this morning, we couldn't even get a turn to be a volunteer."

Oppressive, but not hopeless—that's the best description of the city of Renina. The people here are very clear about the kind of environment they live in.

But it just means they've seen a lot of storms; even if the world were to end the next moment, people wouldn't panic.

Lena watched as the darkness, imperceptible to ordinary people, surrounded everyone. But it could only interfere with their thoughts; it was no longer possible to plunge the entire civilization into an abyss of negative energy as it had done 30 million years ago.

"It seems that although it was a lucky accident, letting Leo grow up in this universe isn't such a bad thing after all." Renina was in a good mood, but Ayako was worried.

Protected by Renina's inherent mental field, Ayako's consciousness was no longer disturbed.

Therefore, she clearly realized that besides enemies such as the Dark Shadow Mage, there was another equally undeniable threat on the moon, one that none of them had noticed before.

Out of instinctive self-protection, the brain has blocked the tracing of that memory, so Ako cannot recall what she saw when she looked at the moon for the last time.

But one thing is certain: that thing is no less threatening than Gatanothor, absolutely!

"What exactly is that thing..." Ako muttered to herself. After being reminded by Renina, she dared not discuss the true nature of the moon casually.

Although Ako may not have lived for many years, she certainly knows a lot. She has inherited the entire database of the Yapools and can even find some information about Grimd.

But this bizarre and terrifying ability was something that Ako couldn't recall finding in the entire database what matched it. It wasn't just that the theory was terrifying; it was...

"I don't know either, but I'm sure that thing isn't a monster," Renina replied casually, then stared curiously at the milk tea shop on the street.

At times like this, it's time to fully utilize one's observation and action as a daughter-in-law. Yako took out her wallet and said, "Boss, two cups of Peach Autumn Drink, extra sugar."

Lucia, who runs the bubble tea shop, recognized Ayako, then glanced curiously at Renina beside her, before asking uncertainly, "Just two cups? Won't that be enough?"

"Hey, Lucia, it's you!" Ako certainly wouldn't forget Lucia, and she also saw Zara carrying a milk tea cup out from behind, who was even wearing a volunteer armband.

Oh right, just a reminder, Lucia and her siblings were the brother and sister who were chased by the Muzhen aliens and ended up on Earth where they found refuge. Muzhen was later destroyed by Leo.

It's true that the siblings, orphans of the Derador aliens, chose to live on Earth, but Ako's relationship with them can only be described as that of casual acquaintances; she really doesn't know when they moved here.

But Lucia and Zara both had a strong impression of Ako. The language translator they used back then was actually given to them by Ako, mainly because Ako was related to Leo.

“Zara and I wanted to live on our own, so we opened this shop,” Lucia said, pausing between words.

Seeing Ako's puzzled expression, Zara smiled and shrugged. "I've been too busy lately, and my sister caught a cold. When we Deradol people have a cold, our speech is often halting."

It just goes to show how vast and wondrous the universe is. Yako sighed with emotion. Although they weren't close, they knew each other, and she was happy to see the siblings living such a good life.

However, the thought that this is Earth makes me feel that this level of excitement is not something to be overly concerned about, as there may be bigger things to come.

"The seed funding from TPC?"

"No, this was lent to us by Director Sawai and Director Yoshioka in their personal capacity. They said we can pay them back after we settle down."

Zara quickly explained that after the two of them expressed their idea, Director Sawai and Director Yoshioka both agreed to it in person.

Actually, it's fine not to pay back the money. What Lucia and Zara didn't know was that they looked exactly like Director Yoshioka's son and Director Sawai's daughter.

From a personal perspective, both Director Sawai and Director Yoshioka care about them a lot, so they help with small things whenever they can, which is fine.

"I never expected this... By the way, why a bubble tea shop?"

“Actually, my sister originally wanted to open a supermarket, but we didn’t have enough money to buy the goods, so we thought of starting a small business. We also took over the breakfast shop next door.”

Zara laughed heartily as soon as she got to this point.

"Are you really planning to stay on Earth forever? You can all tell, right? Earth is actually very dangerous right now." Ako took the milk tea that Lucia handed her.

"If you want to leave, I can arrange it for you. The formalities are not a problem, and you can leave tonight."

Yako wasn't lying. For Leo's sake, this was nothing. They weren't from Earth, so they couldn't possibly be unaware of the impending danger.

"No, thank you." Lucia smiled and shook her head. Zara added for her sister, "My sister and I have discussed it, and we're staying on Earth. We're not going anywhere else."

"If my siblings and I hadn't received help from Earth, we would most likely have been killed by the Muzhen Star people. Earthlings are our benefactors and friends."

"We love this planet and we love Earthlings. How can we abandon our friends and run away at a time like this? It's good to do something small within our power."

Zara pointed to his TPC armband. For him and Lucia, Earth was their second home, and Earthlings were their family and friends. They would never leave Earth and were willing to face everything together with Earthlings.

Hearing this, Ayako's face lit up with a bright smile. "Then I'll come again next time, and I'll bring my whole family."

"Ah... then I might need to make an appointment. Your family has quite a lot of people, so I need to make it in advance."

Lucia thought that the milk tea would have to be stored in large buckets, otherwise there wouldn't be enough. Ayako waved her hand happily, then turned around and remembered that she had left Renina standing aside.

Fortunately, Renina didn't care about this. Instead, she took the milk tea from her hand with great interest, knew how to make it after just one glance, inserted a straw and drank it. "Hmm, it tastes good."

(They really are mother and son, they're just like that, they both love sweet things.)

As Ayako was thinking, Renina put down her cup and glanced at her. "Feeling better now?"

"Well, after all... seeing the siblings like that, and seeing the people here, makes me feel that my efforts were not in vain."

Yako is no longer as worried as before, but she still feels a bit helpless. "Actually, if possible, I still hope they can leave Earth, or even leave this universe, to avoid being in danger."

“In that case,” Renina took another sip, “that’s easy. Just protect it. This planet, this universe, the people here—if it were Leo, he would definitely say the same thing.”

After hearing what Renina said, Ayako looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief. Her demeanor was quite different from before.

Then Ayako suddenly realized that Renina hadn't wanted milk tea; she had simply sensed the marks Leo had left on Lucia and Zara.

"Let's go, it's time for me to officially get to know the other people." Renina hummed a little tune as she walked ahead. "This stuff is pretty good, I'll open a shop and make it myself sometime."

"This mother-in-law... I always felt she was a very strange person." Ako sighed, but she didn't really think that Renina was someone who was easy to get along with.

Even if it's only half of Reiblood's memories, and not complete, she has still gained a lot of experience from traveling through various universes over the years (going from one universe to another).

Renina must know more, Ayako's intuition told her that Renina was definitely hiding something.

(Leo, Leo, is this all you want to protect? I did say that having someone to protect makes you stronger, but you love too much.)

(And you've put yourself in this state, what have you been through?)

Lena could only say these things to herself. Ayako was right; she did know quite a lot, but there were also some historical secrets that she was unaware of.

For example, there's a history from who-knows-how-long ago that Reibrando himself has forgotten.

——————————————————————————————————

While eating lunch and looking at the script in front of him, Leo suddenly sighed, "The Plasma Universe really doesn't have a single civilization."

"Not a single one?" King Joe chewed on his chopsticks. "Could it be that there are too many monsters over there, preventing any civilization from successfully emerging?"

"That's impossible. I've looked at hundreds of planets without monsters, and the environment isn't much different from Earth's, but there are none."

During the short time it took to eat, Leo's consciousness clone had already taken Plasma Gomora on a tour of the entire universe, but still found nothing.

There are many monsters in the Plasma Universe, and many of them are large. They are basically mutated after eating the Plasma Soul.

Strangely, monsters that consume the Plasma Soul will receive certain enhancements based on their original attributes.

For example, the Plasma Neronga, which is currently fighting the Plasma Gomora, has been enhanced with lightning power, while the previous counterpart it encountered only had its stealth ability enhanced.

In the past, Plasma Gomora would have been at a disadvantage against such an enemy, but now she feels that having someone back her up makes all the difference. The enhancements that Leo, her master, has given her are simply amazing!

Originally, Gomora's enhancement after consuming the Plasma Soul was physical, mainly making it strong and tough.

Now that Leona has it, there's even less to fear. She charged straight at Plasma Neronga's lightning attack, knocking him away with her head. The super vibration wave attached to her claws shattered the Plasma Soul Crystal on Neronga's head.

Seeing Plasma Neronga screaming in pain, Plasma Gomora was extremely pleased. As expected, Leo's teaching was excellent; this was much better than his previous random attacks.

By severing horns, cutting off tails, gagging mouths, and relentlessly striking glowing parts—whether they are weak points or special organs—Plasma Gomora has fought against many monsters over the past two hundred years, accumulating a wealth of combat experience.

She has defeated more than a dozen Plasma Neronga alone, so she is not afraid at all. Her current strength is extremely powerful.

After easily defeating the plasma Neronga, Gomora transformed back into human form and landed beside Leo (his clone). Seeing Leo (his clone) still shaking his head, Gomora asked, "Leo, did I perform poorly?"

"No, you did very well, it's just that you haven't been able to find anything all this time, which is unsettling."

Plasma Gomora's performance was impeccable. It immediately assessed the gap between the two sides and ended the battle decisively in the simplest and most time-saving way.

Leo was even thinking that if he had the chance, he would throw Raymond here, and use the amount of energy from one year to do the amount of several years' worth of energy, which would definitely allow his Gomora to break through to the EX level.

"Perhaps, I need my true self to come to this universe in person to discover more things."

Leo transferred the absorbed plasma energy back to his main body, knowing full well that this efficiency was hardly fast.

However, there was nothing that could be done. The appearance of the Plasma Universe was too coincidental. Leo didn't know if it was a well-timed arrangement by Delacion, or another trap set by the Dark Shadow Mage or Gatanothor. He needed to be cautious.

But now it seems better to let the original body come to this universe in person. This place is full of energy similar to plasma sparks, making it an excellent place for Leo to develop his potential.

Now that we've confirmed there's no danger, it's time to make some preparations for the distant future. But before that, we need to say goodbye to certain people.

"Four years is more than enough for me." Leo put down the script in his hand and put an X on it, meaning it was sent back for rewriting.

"Mr. Jin Cheng is going to be in trouble again." Jin Guqiao knew this without even looking.

"There's nothing I can do. The script is indeed very good, but it's not what Mr. Tsuburaya wanted. Hmm, should I show it to him? But all I have is the Spark Doll of Ultraman Chaos."

Leo sighed. Why was he the only one in the team who wasn't Ultraman? He wondered if Galatron had done anything good for him after he was banished, like finding things for Daigo and the others to do every day.

And Raymond, his training can't be neglected. Speaking of which, how about I help him turn that Gomora into human form? I wonder if he'd be willing.

"Leo, Leo, it's approved!" Tsuburaya's excited voice came from the doorway. He pushed the door open and rushed in, excitedly holding a document and hugging him.

"Haha, it's decided that 'Ultra Q' will air early next year, so we can start filming Ultraman now!"

"Congratulations, sir. This is sure to become a phenomenal masterpiece."

"I want to thank you!" Old Master Tsuburaya patted Leo on the shoulder. He knew very well that without Leo's help and connections, he wouldn't have been able to keep up with all the filming and other trivial matters on his own.

"But I don't know how to thank you properly. I really have nothing to give you, not even shares. Sigh."

"I can't exactly say I'll have everything in the future," Leo thought to himself, but he was also genuinely happy for the old man.

"No need to thank me. I'm already very satisfied to have been a part of its production. Now I can leave with peace of mind."

"...You're leaving?" Old Master Tsuburaya suddenly paused, looking at Leo in disbelief, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

“That’s about it.” Leo nodded. “I need to become stronger so that I can protect everyone.”

This is Leo's mission, something he doesn't do indiscriminately, but before that, he needs to confirm some things and verify some of his own guesses.

Chapter 571 The Troubled Script

Sitting at the table, watching his carefully crafted script get marked with an X once again, Tetsuo Kinjo crumpled up the manuscript in his hand and threw it away, scratching his hair and looking extremely annoyed.

"Ugh! How exactly do I have to write it to satisfy him?!"

"It didn't pass again?" Uehara Shozo, who was also a screenwriter, knew what had happened as soon as he saw this. Kinjo Tetsuo nodded dejectedly, "Yeah, the script was so good this time."

"Director Leo has very high standards, and Director Tsuburaya also wants to make better works. They are both very strict."
