"Why? Why are there activity restrictions?" Zefa asked, frowning in confusion.

"If you ask why, I'm not quite sure either." Fang Rui said he didn't know.

He was used to the rule that Ultraman could only move for three minutes, and didn't care at all why it was like that.

"It must be energy!"

"Energy?" Zephyr understood a little, but not completely.

"Just like when you're hungry, you want to eat. Without energy, the Giant of Light cannot maintain its form. The Giant of Light's energy is consumed very quickly in the planetary environment. As for the reason..."

Fang Rui looked up at the sky and said softly, "...I'm not sure."

"Is that so?" Zephyr didn't have many doubts about this. He had seen many strange things and wasn't particularly surprised.

"We're going to lose!" Zephyr said solemnly as he watched Ultraman disappear after being hit by the beam of light.

"Aren't you... going to help?"

Although they were from different worlds, Zephyr's personality prevented him from standing idly by. Even if he wanted to help, after assessing the strength of both sides, he clearly understood that he was no match for the monster. Therefore…

He set his sights on another person, Fang Rui.

"Don't worry, the battle has only just begun..."

Fang Rui remained calm, his gaze fixed on the spot where Zeta had disappeared. The Ultraman who had just vanished reappeared, and his form had changed.

"What's going on?" Upon hearing Fang Rui's words, Zefa followed his gaze and saw that Ultraman, who had disappeared a second ago, had reappeared with a changed appearance.

"Ultraman, it's normal for him to transform," Fang Rui said, making things up.

Zephyr: "...Is that so?"

His tone was slightly odd, and he felt there was something wrong with what Fang Rui was saying, but he didn't delve into it. Instead, he watched the battle between Ultraman and the monster.

"Hmm? The fighting techniques have changed!" Zephyr frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

“It’s normal for things to change. Look at how different he looks. Isn’t it normal for things to change a little?” Fang Rui continued to ramble on.

"I think you're kidding me." Zephyr was speechless. Zoan-type Devil Fruit users also have three forms they can transform into. No matter how they transform, the person is still the same. How could their fighting habits change?

"No~" Fang Rui said with a smile, not intending to explain in detail.

“I’m not lying, he has definitely changed.”

Zephyr had no intention of arguing about the matter. Seeing Ultraman fly away, he didn't even bother to use his Observation Haki to search for him. Instead, he looked at Fang Rui and asked another question.

"Why did you bring me here?" He clearly remembered that after coming out of the portal, he had traveled through it again.

"Of course it's more fun here. The Ultraman from before was named Zeta, and your name is Zephyr. Don't you think that's interesting?"

"I don't think so." Zephyr's expression remained unchanged. He then turned to ask about something else, "Where did Ultraman go?"

"Nowhere in particular, just in this city. Shall we go take a look?"

Fang Rui's gaze fell on the area where the robot had fallen, where a young man was standing.

"I'd also like to invite a few people to the event."

"Hmm?" Ze's tone rose.

The two then left the rooftop and walked along the street.

"Where are you going?"

"Of course it's the armory. I have connections there."

Fang Rui said this, but he didn't know where the armory was. However, it wasn't a big problem. Once the city was unsealed and people came out of the shelters, he could ask someone for directions.

"Is that Ultraman also in the armory?"

“You guessed right, he’s here,” Fang Rui reminded him. “When you get to the armory, don’t say anything like you want to see Ultraman. Ultraman needs to keep his identity secret.”

"..." After a moment of silence, Zephyr did not ask why, but the reason was obvious.

"Speaking of which, if I had more time, I would also like to invite the other people as well..."

As he spoke, Fang Rui thought of Jie De, who had arrived here some days later, and his tone was somewhat regretful.

Zephyr didn't say anything. As for how Ultraman, with such a large size, could hide in human society, he had no doubts either. There were many strange abilities, so there was no need to be surprised.

With the help of a bus stop sign and kind strangers, the two arrived near the armory. Due to the previous chaos, the armory was in a state of disarray and refused entry to ordinary tourists.

"What should we do?" Zefa asked.

"It's a small matter, leave it to me!" Fang Rui said confidently, using telepathy to transmit some information to Jugglus's ear.

At this moment, Jugglus Juggler was being reprimanded in his office. The main point was that the robot had crashed into a building during the mission. As for the buildings that were destroyed while resisting the monsters, he wasn't blamed; that was a different matter.

After a period of adjustment, Jugglus Juggler had become very adept at dealing with his superiors. He didn't take what someone said seriously at all, but on the surface, he was very respectful.

Suddenly, a clear voice lingered in his ears. Jugglus's expression changed, and he calmly looked around, but found nothing amiss.

'An alien?'

At first, he thought that to himself, but after listening to all the messages, he changed his mind.

'That tone sounds familiar, could it be...?'

Thinking this, he said nothing and waited until his superior finished his reprimand before leaving the office and heading outside the armory.

Meanwhile, Fang Rui and Zefa were on a bridge near the armory, gazing at the distant clouds.

"It's a cloud shaped like a hat!"

"Hmm!" Zephyr used his Observation Haki to probe the armory, his brow furrowing slightly. There was more than one unusual aura...

After searching for a while, Jugglus found Fang Rui and Zefa. He had no recollection of Zefa, but he did have some recollection of Fang Rui.

"You... need something from me?" Jugglus raised an eyebrow.

"Of course I have something to do. I'm going to travel to other worlds. Want to come?" Fang Rui asked directly without any preamble.

"No interest." For Jugglus Juggler, who frequently travels between worlds, visiting other worlds holds no appeal whatsoever.

"Don't say that! It's quite interesting... probably!"

"Can't you sound a little more confident?" Jugglus wanted to complain. If he didn't even have confidence in himself, how could he convince others?

"By the way, do you have Hong Kai and Asakura Riku's contact information? I'd like to invite them too."

Fang Rui changed the subject, showing no interest in discussing the matter. After all, the Hogwarts tournament was seen by many as just an ordinary game, and not a very fun one at that.

"Why would you think I would have their contact information?" Jugglus tilted his head, not quite understanding.

"You're Kai's good friend! How come you don't have his contact information?"

Fang Rui spoke with righteous indignation, while Jugglus's face darkened, and he really wanted to punch someone.

His relationship with Hong Kai cannot be simply summarized as "good friends".

Ignoring Jugglus's expression, Fang Rui asked again, "So... do you have a way to contact me?"

"Hmph! I have a way to contact Kai." Jugglus snorted and turned his head to the side.

"I knew you had it."

Hearing Fang Rui's confident tone, Jugglus's face darkened even more, but he didn't say anything.

"Could you please invite Hong Kai for me?"

"Why should I help you?" Jugglus Juggler retorted.

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui's tone changed: "You're the captain of the armory now, right?"

“That’s right.” Jugglus raised an eyebrow slightly, not understanding why Fang Rui suddenly brought this up.

“Hong Kai has traveled to so many places, but he has never been the captain of the defense force.”

"You're right...".

Jugglus narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile playing on his lips, as if he were thinking of some interesting scene.

"Aren't you going to call him over to take a look?"

"Hmph! It would be nice to show off in front of him."

With that said, Jugglus began to contact Gai. The method of contact he used was fairly standard, so getting in touch shouldn't be a problem, but it would take some time. If he was lucky, it would take less time; if he was unlucky, it would take longer.

Fang Rui took out the Orb Ring and used it to contact the Ring of Light at the Summit of Warriors, asking it to send a mission to Orb, so that Orb would deliver the goods to his door.

Ring of Light: "???"

Please turn on your microphone to chat!

"I'll pay," Fang Rui added.

"Wait a moment, we are issuing a quest," the Ring of Light replied.

"Do you have a way to contact other Ultramen?" Fang Rui asked.

"Those connected to me can be contacted." The Ring of Light, somewhat tempted by Fang Rui's energy, answered cooperatively.

"That means we can't contact Jiede." Fang Rui nodded slightly and didn't continue the conversation.

It seems that Asakura Riku will not be able to make it to this event. If it were him, he would probably have a lot of fun at the event.

'but……'

When I think of Geed, I think of one of the monsters he hunted down, Gilbaris, which, although a degraded version, is still considered a top-tier artificial intelligence.

The problem lies in whether the other party is honest, given that this guy has a very serious criminal record.

“I’ve already contacted him, let’s wait for his reply.” As he spoke, Jugglus looked at Fang Rui. This guy was also a security risk, it was best to keep him under his watchful eye.

"Would you like to experience life in the armory?" Jugglus Juggler extended an invitation.

Fang Rui didn't know what Jugglus was thinking, but he was genuinely interested, so he agreed, "Of course I want to. I'm very curious about robots."

Zephyr was equally interested. He had already encountered an official organization in a certain magical world that was responsible for protecting civilians in other worlds, and it seemed rather ordinary to him, not like an organization that could guarantee the safety of civilians.

The armory in this world gave him a slightly better impression, but a deeper evaluation would require a more detailed understanding before an answer could be reached.

The three headed to the armory, where soldiers and staff along the way saluted Jugglus when they saw him.

This shows that Jugglus Juggler held a high position.

"Oh, and remember to call me Hebikura." Just as they were about to enter a building, Jugglus turned to Fang Rui and reminded him.
