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

Page 322

Just then, a hand patted Dr. Dango on the shoulder, signaling him to move aside, and Tyrant walked in with Dimaga. "Before that, there are a few things we need to talk about."

"You are..." Captain Stringman didn't react for a moment. Tyrant looked like an ordinary girl, but such natural white hair was really rare. Dimaga looked more and more familiar with her.

Tyrant patted his chest. "I'm Tyrant, and this is Dimaga. Ah, we're all old friends, but this is the first time I've appeared in front of you like this. And this is... hey, why are you hiding?"

Urged on by Tyrant, a pretty girl who looked to be in her early twenties poked her head out. It was Golza. She glanced at the people lying inside and said in a somewhat uncertain voice, "I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of? They're all lying down, what are they going to do, jump up and beat you up?" Tyrant rolled his eyes. "They're still part of our family, even Magabassa isn't as cowardly as you."

Upon hearing that he was being compared to Magabassa, Golza was immediately displeased. He could only muster his courage and step forward, but still protected Tyrant in front of him.

"Who is this...?" Daigo noticed that Golza's gaze kept sweeping over him, intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of fear.

"Why are you staring at him?" Tyrant asked, somewhat puzzled. Golza pouted. "Back then, I had some conflicts with Taganura, and they happened to come to Earth. He was the one who beat me up the hardest."

Upon hearing this, Daigo immediately realized, "You're Golza!"

This was a bit awkward. Everyone was stunned for a moment before they remembered that Leo also had a Golza, which had been quite active for a while.

"So, the monsters in Brother Leo's house can all turn into humans..."

Raymond was a little envious of this scene. Putting everything else aside, at least the humanoid creatures should eat less and consume less energy. He had three monsters to raise, and it would be really difficult to support them all by himself.

Of course, what I envy even more is this kind of natural and peaceful relationship. Gomora once said that he wanted to grow to the same size as Raymond so that he could eat a lot of good food and go shopping and play together.

“If you’re envious, Leo can help you later.” Tyrant’s words amused Raymond, who scratched her head. “Originally, it should have been Ayako who explained to you. I’m not good with words, but they can’t leave right now. Oh, Ayako is a Yapoolian.”

"What's wrong, Mirai?" Hikari noticed that Mirai's expression was a little off.

"It's nothing... I just remembered some bad memories." Mirai's face was ashen. He had already guessed something when he heard Razor Demaga, and now that he heard Ako, how could he not understand what was going on?

When Mirai first arrived on Earth, she received a lot of help from Leo, from her identity and accommodation to being assigned to GUYS. She also relied on Leo's guidance and encouragement to defeat her opponents on many occasions.

Especially when facing Razor Demaga's immense power and Yapool's insidious tricks, it was Leo who provided guidance and even came to his rescue in a fighter jet.

Back then, she was especially grateful to Leo for saving her from danger multiple times. Now, looking back, she wonders where all that danger came from, right? Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!

Haruki and Yuuki exchanged a glance. The meaning of their eye contact was simple: just by looking at the future, they knew that he was still too young. How many of the warriors of the Land of Light from the future hadn't been tormented by Leo?

Putting everything else aside, Haruki had just finished fighting Ganegakure the day before, and the next day a Zetton was waiting at the door. He immediately transformed and rushed up with Zeta.

Zeta said that beam attacks couldn't be used against Zetton, so the two of them thought that the Alpha Armor's close combat would be very powerful. Then... they later learned that the Zetton at that time was called Ojir, and it was proficient in Cosmic Fist and Cosmic Beast Fist.

"You'll get used to it, future senior." If it weren't for the fact that his hands and feet were in casts, Haruki would have really wanted to comfort the future.

“Yes, at least your opponent isn’t Hyper Eleking, senior,” Yuuki remarked, and Haruki echoed, “nor is it the Dark Ultra Killer who has assimilated with Vice-Captain Leo.”

This left the future completely confused. Wait, are we supposed to be rivals to these two? That might be a bit difficult.

"Alright, alright, judging from your condition, you probably can't move either. This is troublesome. Your injuries are more serious than Leo thought, but at least you're all alive. Anyway... now it's time to tell you the plan."

Tyrant looked at Dimaga, who nodded and opened a spacetime portal to take everyone away. Although he couldn't take them to the Jupiter base, Galatrond had a branch factory in Australia, so Daigo and the others could only go there if they wanted to regain their transformation abilities.

Chapter 635 Rather than waiting for a miracle, it's better to do it yourself...

"This is the whole picture of the incident..." After everyone had arrived, Plasma Gomora told them everything he knew, and everyone realized that there were so many risks and hidden dangers in this plan.

"So, the Shadow Mage planted seeds of darkness in the hearts of humans, using them to absorb their negative energy to become stronger?"

"Yes, and just now, by broadcasting the situation from various battlefields, people's unease has deepened. We can temporarily keep the ultimate darkness out, but we can't make the darkness in people's hearts disappear."

At this point, Golza spread his hands, "This is even more difficult than letting me defeat the Shadow Mage in a one-on-one fight."

"After all, humans possess the most complex emotions and hearts, don't they?" Director Sawai sighed, not surprised at all. In the end, he and the King of Ultra often had spiritual exchanges, so he knew more than others.

“Yes, the Dark Shadow Mage didn’t choose to destroy humanity immediately because he needed the negative energy created by humans to complete his final transformation.” Plasma Gomora nodded quickly.

That's why the Dark Shadow Mage keeps pressuring humanity, constantly resurrecting powerful monsters in an attempt to plunge all of humanity into despair.

“But Gatanothor and Grimd can’t absorb as much negative energy as the Shadow Mage. If they can’t get Leo, they naturally hope for the complete destruction of humanity.” Director Yoshioka roughly understood what was going on.

"So Leo was hiding in the Plasma Universe to lure out the Dark Shadow Mage's methods, so he could strike at the crucial moment?" Marian seemed to understand what was going on.

But at this moment, Plasma Gomora scratched his head, "Not entirely... because Leo really couldn't get out at that time."

Now, everyone, including Renlong and Galatron, fell silent; the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Leo knew very well that the Dark Shadow Mage and Gatanothor had made too many preparations for this battle, and it was impossible to win in one go. The Plasma Core was the only way he could find."

"But such a large core would take at least one or two years for us to open a passage and let it through. So we decided to use the Shadow Mage, have Angela disguise herself as Leo, and lure the Shadow Mage into battle to destabilize the space."

Anyway, Leo figured that the Dark Shadow Mage couldn't use his full strength without a suitable body, so he just needed to allocate more energy to the Ultimate Battle Device Angela so that they wouldn't be at a disadvantage in the short term.

Otherwise, given Leo's personality, how could he have watched Daigo and the others being beaten like this without intervening? It was true that there was no way to intervene in the battle at the time; Angela's power was limited, and he could only choose to believe that Daigo and the others could hold on.

"So, is it alright to tell us the plan now?" Minister Wang looked around. According to Plasma Gomora, the Dark Shadow Mage originated from the darkness in people's hearts, and nothing in people's hearts could escape his eyes.

"Yes, the Dark Shadow Mage has been imprisoned in the seal. The seeds of darkness in the hearts of those here have been eradicated. With my power, he won't hear me."

This sounded reassuring. Plasma Gomora hadn't expected that the people present could uproot the seeds of darkness on their own, but Leo had told her about the Zijera Flower, and these people were the first to break free from control.

In that case, we should really be glad that Gatanothor used the Zigela flower in advance; otherwise, given the current situation, if Zigela flowers were blooming all over the world, it would be truly unbelievable.

"So, in the next part of the plan, Daigo... you guys will have to suffer a bit more. Leo can't hold on for long. This is the real final battle. People will be watching you closely, understand?"

Daigo didn't understand why he was being told this, since Gento was the captain, but he nodded anyway, "I understand."

They had similar feelings, and Daigo and the others knew it very well. Many times, they would grit their teeth, strengthen their beliefs, and unleash powerful forces to do things that were impossible under normal circumstances.

This time, Leo's goal was also clear: people would be watching them, and whether the spark in people's hearts would ignite or darkness would spread would be beyond their control.

"Actually, nothing much has changed in terms of what needs to be done." Gento let out a sigh of relief; he had thought there would be some very complicated task ahead.

Komon smiled and said, "After all, even if no one knows or is watching, fighting against the darkness and protecting people is our mission."

That's how it is. It's not really a mission. It's about fighting the darkness and protecting everything they cherish behind them. That's what they've always done.

"So-called Ultraman are just a bunch of guys like this." Jugglus Juggler spread his hands, and Mirai quickly shook her head. "This has nothing to do with whether or not they are Ultraman. Father of Ultra once taught me that there is not much difference between Ultraman and humans."

“Brother Leo told me that the difference between darkness and light is only in nature. There is no such thing as light being necessarily good and darkness being necessarily evil. Mr. Jugglus, Brother Leo, Raymond, and Mr. Goroki are all such people.”

These words made Jugglus feel quite relieved, and Raymond also gave Future a thumbs up. Future just looked at him with a wry smile, "Just remember to go easy on me when you hit me."

Seeing the question mark appear above Raymond's head, Haruki and Yuuki remembered something and patted Raymond on the shoulder, "We're here too, go easy on him, Raymond-nii."

Raymond was even more confused now. Aren't they all teammates? He couldn't possibly lay a hand on them.

"Alright, alright, now's not the time to discuss this. Let's review the current situation first." Galatrom interrupted Haruki and the others' conversation; there were some things that shouldn't be discussed now.

Now it was time for Staff Officers Gondo and Fukami to speak. They had just been rotated out from the front, and now the battlefield commanders from other branches were taking the lead.

"The eastern front can still hold out for now. Ruganoga, Million Basaku, and Zog should have been forced to retreat by the Dark Shadow Mage. Only the Five Emperors and other monsters are constantly wearing us down."

"Currently, apart from the Victory Team, Armory and ESCG, all other units have suffered casualties to varying degrees... The Tenglong Third Team was completely wiped out while covering friendly forces."

"It was my fault." Kaito lowered his head. At that time, due to insufficient energy, he was no match for Volugan, who was wearing the Dark Armor. He was knocked down by Magma Poison Hand Fist and could not stand up at all.

At that time, Volugan planned to use the Rezolim Ray that came with the Dark Armor to kill Max completely. The last three members of the Tenglong Third Team sacrificed their lives to buy him support from the Kirieloids. Before that, they had already lost more than half of their forces while covering their comrades.

"This is not your problem. Under the influence of darkness, you simply cannot fully exert your power. Moreover, that armor gives the wearer power comparable to the Dark Emperor. It is already quite remarkable that you have been able to endure it for so long."

Yuuki patted Kaito on the shoulder, signaling him not to blame himself. Everyone could understand the situation at the time. Max's condition was not good to begin with, and it was already very difficult for him to hold on for so long.

War is always accompanied by sacrifice. Everyone is prepared to sacrifice themselves, yet they inevitably feel guilty about these things.

After much hesitation, Galatron said, "I can..."

“If it means we have to withdraw all our defense forces, then there’s no need to say anything.” Director Yoshioka raised his hand to interrupt Galatron. “I know you are very skilled, and I also know you definitely have extra combat power left.”

"But the enemy isn't going all out right now. They need to leave some room to deal with the situation that could change at any time. We humans aren't incapable of fighting."

Director Sawai nodded in agreement. Of course, he knew that Leo had also made a similar suggestion, saying that Galatron should convert all of TPC's equipment into drone systems for remote operation.

But the Maga Orochi incident proved that remote operation wasn't very effective; it would be interfered with by darkness, and the entire system was unmanned... so this war had little to do with humanity.

"Whether in the ancient past or now, if humanity does not fight for its own survival but instead entrusts everything to others, then even if it survives this disaster, it will not go far."

"To be honest, we're also seething with anger." The head of the Australian branch clenched his fist. "In these ten years, so many people have been injured or killed, so many sacrifices have been made. We have to make them pay for it ourselves."

"Only those who can fight side by side can be called comrades. Cowards who only hide in the shadows—the Eastern European branch has no place for them." Paul, the head of the Eastern European branch, was a hot-tempered man.

“Although I don’t like this guy, I agree with what he said.” Johnson nodded in agreement, as did the others.

TPC was founded to protect the entire Earth and all of humanity. If we choose to back down at a time like this, we might as well disband and just watch Galatrom and the others fight on our phones.

"Humanity did not survive to this day by waiting for a savior." Minister Wang also rejected this view. He would not say that humanity could overcome the difficulties without the help of Leo and the others, but humanity is not so fragile that it would collapse at the first blow.

"Of course we must fight. We've fought hard for over ten years, and now we're facing this final battle. How could we possibly back down now?" The minister of the African branch also expressed his determination.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Galatrom didn't say anything more. Everyone had their own reasons. Others might say these things to sound nice, but the people present were all genuine, first-rate combatants who had retired from the battlefield and were ready to go back to the battlefield at any time.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. The eastern front is still holding. We've lost about a third of our personnel, but with Kirieloid and Ultraman Ake holding the line, the gap isn't too big, and we can hold on."

"Apart from that, there is no problem with the supply of materials. It's just that the public's emotions are more unstable than we thought. This should be the effect of the Dark Seed."

In the past, everyone's emotions would definitely be much more stable than they are now. After all, we've seen all sorts of storms. Well... this is indeed quite rare.

All of humanity has gathered in Australia, and the gap in strength between the Ultramen and the enemy is so great that the Dark Seed can easily stir up negative energy in people's hearts. Now, all the shelters are maintaining order, and some who have been clearly too deeply affected are beginning to show self-destructive tendencies.

"How long can Leo hold out?" Director Sawai looked at Plasma Gomora, who thought for a moment and said, "According to Leo's plan, the sooner the better. We can't afford to drag this out. The longer it goes on, the more advantageous it is for the Dark."

“That’s true.” Everyone understood that although Leo had slowed down the Dark Shadow Mage and his group, they were still at a disadvantage. Right now, the main task was to exchange information and plan the battle.

"At this point, we should actually be glad that the Shadow Mage needs humans to provide him with negative energy, otherwise this guy would blow up the entire Earth." Renlong chuckled. That's really true. In order for humans to live, the Shadow Mage even has to help maintain the stability of the Earth.

"So what should we do?"

“Maintaining the front line… Honestly, right now the most important thing for you is to stay alive.” Plasma Gomora scratched his head. “And then… believe me, no matter what, don’t give up, don’t despair.”

“Oh dear, Leo’s explanation was too vague. He said that these kinds of things can only be achieved through momentum and willpower, but I don’t really understand these things.”

Seeing Plasma Gomora's troubled expression, everyone couldn't help but laugh, easing the atmosphere slightly. Meanwhile, in the shadows, Renina glanced at Daigo and the others, then turned to Magabassa behind her, asking, "How's it going?"

Magabasa carefully put away the red gem in his hand and shook his head. "No... Years of perseverance have depleted their light and spirit too much, making it impossible for them to generate any resonance."

“…Then we can only wait for a miracle.” Renina sighed. “I just don’t know if Leo, after all he’s done, can bring about this miracle.”

"I definitely can, I believe in Boss Leo!" Magabassa stood with her hands on her hips, full of confidence. Ever since she single-handedly ventured into Mount Everest and brought back the light of Ultraman Blaze and others, everyone looked at her with admiration.

Of course, if Magabasa himself committed the crime, that's another story.

Gentoo and the others were unaware that Renina and Magabassa were observing them from the shadows. They took a deep breath; their injuries hadn't healed yet. Galatron noticed this, "Although it can restore your transformation abilities, the corruption of darkness is still present."

"This means that when you face the enemy, the darkness will only erode you even faster, and in the end... you all know what the result will be."

The string-wielders certainly knew this, but they just smiled broadly.

"To borrow a famous saying, strive and hold onto hope, for if you do not fight, the tomorrow you hope for will never come."

"Then, for a tomorrow when the sun rises." Director Sawai extended his hand, and everyone else placed their hands on his.

In order for the sun to rise again tomorrow, someone needs to light a bright campfire tonight to help us get through this long, cold night.

Chapter 636 Dr. Danhou is still amazing!

Below the Australian base, Daigo and the others were somewhat shocked, and looking around, they couldn't help but exclaim, "It's huge..."

It is indeed very large. It's hard to imagine that the area above is only about seventy football fields in size, but you only need to get a feel for it to understand that even the headquarters of TPC is not as big as this place.

Daigo quickly realized that this was not just a typical underground area in Australia, otherwise the automatic conveyor belt beneath their feet wouldn't have remained motionless for over ten minutes.

"Yes, this is a special subspace created by Dimaga. Its area is actually about three Washington, otherwise it definitely wouldn't be able to hold so many things."

Standing in front, Ako knew what Daigo and the others were thinking, and casually snapped her fingers, "Compared to the one at the Jupiter base, this place is relatively small."

With Ako's snap of her fingers, the wall on the left side of the corridor instantly became transparent. Gento and the others all turned to look, and even Director Sawai couldn't help but be surprised, behaving unlike himself for the first time, "Oh my god..."

On the left side of the corridor is the hangar, Helotia's hangar. Although they already knew that Leo had mechanical Ultramen on his side, the expressions of everyone were quite interesting when dozens of pairs of the six Ultra Brothers stood together, and even the Father of Ultra had more than a dozen.

Mirai, Hikari, and Kaito all stared wide-eyed at the sight. Mirai, in particular, was overwhelmed by the unpleasant memories that flooded her mind. She shook her head and looked at Ako in front of her, wondering, "Will these... combine again?"

"How do you know?" Yako asked, somewhat surprised. "Herodia has had similar ideas, but none of them have been successfully tested yet, otherwise the pressure on the eastern front wouldn't be so great."

Of course, there are more mechanical Ultra Brothers than these, but most of them are placed at the Jupiter base, and there is another reason why they are not used.

"The mechanical Ultra Brothers' fighting power is limited by Gatanothor's darkness, so they don't have many opportunities to appear for the time being. They are currently undergoing core modification as a group, and they are running out of plasma crystals."

Yako explained that everyone knows how troublesome Gatanothor's darkness is. Apart from the Max power system, all biological and electronic devices will be destroyed when they encounter Gatanothor's darkness.

Only fighter jets equipped with the Max power system can resist such dark erosion, but their beams will be weakened accordingly. The legions researched by the mechanical Ultraman and Galatron will also be affected, and their output will decrease significantly.
