Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Gen Subaru felt something land on his head. He instinctively reached up to touch it, but felt nothing metallic; it was just cardboard, nothing special. Looking at the small mountain in front of him—practically made of butter—and the five candles of different colors and lengths on top, for a moment, Gen Subaru couldn't help but want to slap his forehead.

Sorry, I haven't been a human for a while and forgot that for humans, a child's birthday is a very memorable event.

Wait a minute, so in the eyes of these two seniors, my reaction just now was like openly asking for a birthday present? Oh no, I'm not that kind of willful child! My reputation is ruined, how could I have caused such a misunderstanding!

"Thank you, seniors."

However, despite groaning inwardly, he couldn't say those words out loud. Putting everything else aside, it was clear how hard these two seniors had worked to create this birthday celebration. Who else could be so exhausted and pale when not fighting?

Yuan Mao obediently responded, but he was inwardly distressed. He mentally reprimanded himself, deciding that he would never start a conversation like that again. He should just say he was going to die and be done with it. Torturing his seniors like this was simply too much for his conscience...

"Haha, you're welcome, you're too kind, um, um..."

With a few red cream stains on his face, Takayama Imu smiled and reached into his pocket. He fumbled around for a lighter, but couldn't find it. His expression changed slightly, and he looked helplessly at Fujimiya Hiroya. Fujimiya Hiroya's eyes also widened. Undoubtedly, according to the original plan, they should each have a lighter as a backup, but they were in such a hurry just now that he forgot to take one too.

this....

"call...."

At that moment, Gen Subaru exhaled, and the five candles lit up. Then, Gen Subaru clasped his hands together, made a wish according to human tradition, and blew them out in one breath.

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!"

Takayama Gamu and Fujimiya Hiroya immediately started singing "Happy Birthday," and Genji Subaru joined in with a smile. After they finished singing, the three of them simultaneously raised their hands and cheered, "Yay!!" Takayama Gamu and Fujimiya Hiroya each took out a pen from their pockets, one red and one blue, and handed them to Genji Subaru. Takayama Gamu said softly:

"Subaru... Well, it's quite a coincidence. This is the first gift I've ever received from my family, and Hiroya's pen comes from the same source as mine. Now, we're passing this gift on to you, and at the same time, we're transferring the blessings we received from our family to you as well."

Subaru, may you live a carefree, healthy, and happy life.

After handing the pen to Subaru, Fujimiya Hiroya reached out and held that small, thin hand, saying with utmost gentleness:

“I rarely believe in ghosts and gods, but only at this moment do I hope they will work.”

"Ah, yes, if they are effective, I'll build them a temple right now."

Takayama Gamu casually said that, then suddenly realized it wasn't quite right, and quickly changed the subject, saying:

"By the way, Subaru, what did you wish for just now? Do you want me and Hiroya to guess?"

"Hey, I just hope that before I die, I can take that original entity with me."

Gen Subaru waved his hand dismissively and replied:

"If it really works, I'll build a temple for this planet. Alright, the birthday thing is over. Let's talk about something serious. I still have a year left to live."

Gen Subaru took off his birthday paper hat and began to speak seriously:

"My lifespan is fixed by the replication engine that coexists with me, and there's basically no hope for me right now, so you two seniors shouldn't even think about extending it. I'm here to ask you, Senior Meng, Senior Bo Ye, if... if I fail to destroy the original substance before my lifespan runs out, could you two seniors take my remains, that is, the replication engine, to continue fighting?"

Yuan Mao felt there was no need to make things too fancy; it would be better to just be honest. Otherwise, if that sarcastic original entity found fault with him while they were fighting, it wouldn't be good for him to suddenly lose his composure.

but....

These two seniors seem to be struggling to keep up...

Seeing the expressions of the two seniors in front of him freeze instantly, Yuan Mao knew that it was probably hopeless to expect them to take the replication engine and fight against the original entity. Just hearing this made them look completely unable to bear it.

"Alright, alright, come on, let's cut the cake."

Seeing that Takayama Gamu seemed to want to say something, Gen Subaru quickly waved his hand to change the subject. There was no way to continue talking about this topic. If they did, these two seniors would probably start hugging him and crying.

Don't discuss such dark topics with Ultraman.JPG

Therefore, after finishing his birthday cake, Yuan Mao didn't hesitate much and ran away. He couldn't stand the 'pampering' from the adults. Even though they were neither as good as him in fighting nor had as good a record, they still treated him like a child.

Meanwhile, regardless of the renewed fighting spirit of Takayama Gamu and Fujimiya Hiroya, in the Triga universe, Hikari said "Yes," and the instrument in front of him burst into a brilliant pale blue light. This meant that he had successfully locked on and could set off along this spacetime tunnel to find the whereabouts of Subaru and Belial!

Seriously, what's the skill level of these two guys? How did they manage to fight like this...?

However, despite his joy, Hikari felt uneasy. That was just idle talk. Based on the data he had detected, if Belial were back to his peak condition, even Zero wouldn't be able to handle him.

Hikari didn't take it too seriously. Even if Belial had regained his strength, so what? They still had Subaru on their side. Instead of worrying about whether they could subdue Belial, they should think about how to handle the aftermath if Subaru had already dealt with Belial.

"Let me come along!"

At this moment, Triga's figure rushed over from Earth. To be honest, Kenjiro looked somewhat disheveled and a little scared. Mainly, Kenjiro felt that if he continued to stay on Earth, it would become quite dangerous. During this time, Carmilla, for some reason, kept trying to drag him to the basement, and the way she acted made it seem like she was going to eat him up.

However, Kenjiro Shinaka couldn't remember where he had offended or angered Carmilla. So, after thinking it over, Kenjiro Shinaka decided that he should go out and hide for a while until Carmilla's anger subsided, then he could come back, apologize politely, and ask what had happened.

Besides, this time I'm going to support Senior Gen Ang. No matter what, I can't miss out on something like this!

And so, as the time tunnel opened, the group of Ultra Warriors rushed over. As soon as they arrived, they sensed an astonishing fluctuation of spacetime force. It was the simulated black hole that Gen Subaru used to seal Belial's base. This seal was still in effect, allowing the people who had arrived to glimpse a fraction of the intensity of the battle between Gen Subaru and Belial.

Ok? !

The moment these Ultra Warriors appeared, Belial, who was tutoring his son in Nebula Manor, put down the test paper in his hand, took off his glasses, and slowly stood up. He sensed that those familiar and unfamiliar light energy reactions had come from outside Earth.

Without a doubt, it was those Ultramen from the Land of Light who had caught up with us.

Unfortunately, I'm not the same person I used to be. If you want to take me back, you probably can't do it that way anymore.

"Read your book carefully!"

Belial slammed his pointer on the table, startling the distracted Asakura Riku. He jumped, then, with a pained expression, continued pondering today's lesson. Asakura Riku was filled with bitterness. Why had things turned out this way...? He had experienced love for the first time, and a beloved father. Two joyful things had overlapped. And these two joys brought him even more joy. What he had received should have been a dreamlike, blissful time... But why did it turn out like this...?

Why has this learning time turned into such a painful ordeal?! What's wrong with the children of the Land of Light?! Why are they making them study such painful things at such a young age?! What kind of demonic place is the Land of Light?!

"Senior Belial, it seems everyone has found their way here."

At this moment, Max also sensed something, came to Belial's side, and whispered:

"Senior, let me go up and help explain."

"No need, let's go up together."

Belial shook his head, then flew into the sky with Max, transforming into streaks of light and blocking the path of the group from the Land of Light.

"Belia!"

Who is most sensitive to Belial's energy reaction? Naturally, it's Zero. Although he sensed that Belial's energy reaction seemed a bit impure this time, that's a minor issue. The most crucial thing is that Belial has appeared! That means the men are about to start fighting!

Yes, Zero's fighting attitude this time is quite serious; he's determined to fight Belial to the death. This time, he absolutely has to defeat Belial, prove his manliness, and solidify his position as Subaru's father!

"Hey, that call sounds familiar."

Although Belial is no longer controlled by the soul of Reiblood, and although he is still very happy that the Land of Light has produced a successor like Zero, because of his past experience of being controlled—well, his body, I suppose—he couldn't help but start mocking, as if it had evolved into an instinct.

"Belial, what have you done to Max?!"

At this moment, Ultraman Zero noticed Max's weakened state and immediately questioned him. Then, before Max could explain, Zero waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice:

"Don't waste words with Belial. This guy will only behave a little when he's beaten down. Brothers and uncles, let's charge!"

"Wait!" X2

However, just as Zero was about to start his attack, Seven and the First Aven each grabbed one of Zero's shoulders, stopping him. Zero, still puzzled and dissatisfied, shook his head, trying to shake off the hands, but after Seven slapped him on the back of the head, he completely quieted down. Then, Zoffy slowly walked out and stood in front of Belial, saying softly:

"Senior Belial, are you... now awake?"

"Hmph, Zoffy, you..."

Looking at the Ultra Warrior in front of him, Belial casually gestured with his hand in front of his chest and hummed softly:

"You've really made something of yourself, you've even put on the Star Badge, hmph."

"This... is just a trivial matter."

To be honest, upon hearing this, Zoffy felt that Belial, the senior from before, had returned. He used to speak to others in the same tone, a slightly barbed tone, but you could tell it wasn't malicious. And now, whether it was because of his age or because he had experienced too much, he seemed to have softened that barb a lot.

"Alright, come on, let me introduce you."

Belial waved his hand, and an energy projection appeared before everyone. The image showed Asakura Riku diligently working on a problem. Belial tapped Asakura Riku and softly introduced him to the group:

"My youngest son's Earth name is Asakura Riku, and his Land of Light name is Geed."

"Ah...ah, okay, when we get back I'll fill in this little Jiede's file."

To be honest, no one expected this to happen. They had thought they would go to war with Belial, that they would come here to help Genji fight, and that Belial had already been wiped out and left here by Genji. They just didn't expect Belial to suddenly bring out another son like this.

"Yes, and also, my other son, you should all know him."

Belial nodded with satisfaction at Zoffy's understanding, and then continued calmly:

"It's Yuan Mao. When you register Jie De, just register him too. If he has any objections, let him come and talk to me."

That's right, Belial is planning to act first and ask questions later. What nonsense! My son, Belial's son, has to be a citizen of the Land of Light. Otherwise, who will benefit from all the welfare benefits I've earned? As for the rest, it's just a child throwing a tantrum. Why bother with all that? The child may not understand, but do adults not know right from wrong?

However, this time... Zoffy did not agree. Everyone present, except Belial, knew about Subaru's insistence on his home planet. If they really followed Belial's suggestion and forcibly registered Subaru as a resident of the Land of Light, many things would likely cause conflicts with the child.

and....

"Belial, I'll kill you!!!"

As is happening right now, Zero was the first to object to Belial's proposal, and it was such a strong objection that Seven was about to rush over and help.

So, I, Zoffy, will put this issue aside for now. I'll address it again once you two have finished your discussion.

Zoffy, with a smile, chose to step aside in a very gentle manner, and the other Ultra Warriors also silently gave up the space. This kind of internal family conflict really couldn't be interfered with at all.

"Zero, you've gone too far!"
