Ultraman: This Belial only wants to make money.

"No, not only that, the timing is wrong too—"

The Zarab aliens' consciousness roamed freely in Earth's sea of ​​information, unstoppable. However, the deeper they went, the more shocked Zack became.

"The Cosmic Emperor, Alien Empera, recently suffered a crushing defeat on Earth. The warriors stationed there now should be Mebius—and there are no records of Seven, Jack, Taro, or Leo; have they all vanished? Or rather, they never existed! This strange guy has taken their place!"

Zack's hands trembled slightly, and he could barely hold the teacup. He began to question his life as he looked at the original character without a timer.

After all, in this era, traveling through universes was not as common as it is in later works. Even the well-informed Zarab aliens did not immediately think of traveling through parallel universes.

However, with Belial's third attack on the Land of Light, and Zero obtaining the Shield of Pageira, the rift between universes was broken, making it easier to travel between universes than to visit someone's home.

"Don't be so surprised, Zack."

Jin Yi smiled.

Welcome to—

A world without the Land of Light.

This is the universe of the new Ultraman, a world created by Hideaki Anno.

This universe has become more scientific and rational. There is no Kingdom of Light that is regarded as a moral benchmark. Instead, there is the cold, silent Star of Light, which sets the rules and punishes the universe.

Meanwhile, Earth in this universe is still plagued by disasters. Since the beginning of the 21st century, natural and man-made calamities have been constant. Giant plant Juran, ancestral bird Litra, primitive monster Gomes... these monsters from Ultra Q seem to have been given high-definition remasters and have appeared on the stage one after another.

Fortunately, the balloon monster Balenga did not appear.

In response to the ensuing disasters, humanity established a special rescue and search team—the Fates—in the hope of mitigating these calamities as quickly as possible.

When a meteor falls to Earth, and two lives intertwine, the story begins as Earthling Shinji and Star Warrior Lipia become one.

And this will soon become Jin Yi's stage, an opportunity, a chance to break free from Belial's control.

But at this moment, he also needs to use his identity as Belial to persuade Zach, a Belial fanatic.

"My lord... was all of this part of your plan?"

"Don't be alarmed by these trivial matters, Zach. It's not because you lack foresight, but because you're not on my side."

After briefly introducing the background, Jin Yi glanced at Zack without making a sound, and there was no trace of disappointment on his face.

Lord Belial easily traversed the universe, with the resources of entire universes beckoning to them, and the future was sure to be bright!

"Retreat is not an escape, but a strategic shift. With our current strength, it would be unwise to confront the Kingdom of Light. Therefore, we need to gather all forces that can be of use to us."

Build walls high, accumulate grain, and slowly become king.

The most valuable thing in this universe is none other than the mechanical Zetton that can be destroyed with a single shot over a range of 200 light-years.

"When the time is ripe, we will raise an army; but before that—"

"He who will awe the world must first remain silent for a long time. He who will ignite lightning must first wander like a cloud for a long time. My time has not yet come, but one day—there will be bread, there will be milk, Mr. Zack, will you be willing to wait with me as my subordinate?"

Zach's eyes sparkled; if there were a rating system, his favorability rating would be off the charts. He stood up and bowed deeply!

"It's an immense honor!"

"Very good, very energetic! Our next plan is..."

Just as Zack was moved by the indescribable heroic spirit and respectfully listened to the battle plan laid out by the Boss, there was a sudden knock on the door of the private room. The two seemed to be too engrossed in their roles, and the agreed time had already arrived.

Mary, the bunny maid with twin ponytails, hopped into the private room, the ruby ​​on her chest sparkling. She gently struck a fanservice pose, but the words that came out of her mouth were so ruthless.

"Hi, masters! The fun time went by so quickly, it's time to check out!"

"..."

The long, unbearable silence, though she was just a maid, made the two people present feel suffocated.

After a long pause, Jin Yi coughed and said to Zack.

"Zack, I remember your Zarab people's signature skill, isn't it hypnosis?"

------------

Fault Team Headquarters.

"This is outrageous! Have the people lost their ability to judge right from wrong? If this continues, all of Japan is doomed!"

"I'm furious," said Captain Kimio Tamura of the Fault Team, while behind him, the television was broadcasting a barrage of recent big news reports.

"The invaders have revealed their true colors! The silver giants are attacking Earth!"

There are many conflicting opinions online about the newly appeared silver giant. Although the giant defeated the two attacking monsters, many people still believe that it was a staged farce to gain the trust of Earthlings, undermine their defenses, and ultimately invade Earth.

The attacks a few days ago further confirmed this claim. Ultraman appeared and destroyed a US military base in Japan. Although many people applauded, many more were worried that it might be their turn next.

So they began to launch a verbal attack in newspapers and media, and the hero who had been the subject of much discussion a few days ago was instantly transformed into an unpardonable demon.

Although everyone in the Horror Team understood that it was the work of the Zarab aliens, the Horror Team was powerless to do anything compared to the Zarab aliens who colluded with the higher-ups.

"In the end, it was all the Zarab aliens' doing; it's all that guy's fault!"

Captain Tamura slammed his fist on the table and said angrily.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that, Captain. It's wrong to judge people with prejudice."

A sound with an electric current came through, feeling both strange and familiar. Suddenly, two figures appeared in the brightly lit room!

One of them, with a silver-green body and a large, chrysanthemum-like mouth that opened and closed, was the Zarab alien that the Fate team had been tracking for a long time.

"Personal behavior should not be generalized to race."

The Zarab aliens said.

"Zarab aliens, how dare you show your faces before us!"

The capable Captain Tamura drew his gun, settling both old and new grudges, and aimed it at the uninvited guest.

At that moment, another voice interrupted him.

"Stop! Captain Tamura, think before you act. Your foolish actions could turn your friends into enemies!"

"Look closely at my friend Zack. Does he resemble the criminal who kidnapped Ultraman's human form?"

Indeed, they are quite different. The previous visitor was taller and thinner, flatter, like a thin sheet of paper, while the new visitor is more rounded and not as angular as before. It is easy to spot the difference between the two if you look closely.

However, Captain Tamura did not lower his gun, but instead turned it towards the shadow behind Zarab.

"And who are you?"

A new figure lazily emerged from behind Zach, and then the tall Zach actually bowed slightly to him. The newcomer looked exactly like an Earthling, and was even younger than the FOT team members present, but he had become the center of attention on the field.

"Beria, of course you can also call me Mr. King on Earth."

"Just a citizen of the Land of Light passing through."

P.S. Balloon Monster Balenga – The strongest enemy to appear in Ultra Q, a strange sphere born from chasing energy, capable of even devouring the sun.
