Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

Xia Shu looked at another assassin whose arm he had crippled and asked a question.

"my name?"

"My name is Leo."

"Please, I beg you, even if it costs me my life, please spare Astra!" Leo pleaded desperately.

He knew, of course, that the assassin's fate would inevitably be to be killed by someone else.

But even if there's only a sliver of hope... even just a tiny sliver, he wanted his younger brother to survive.

"Leo... Astra..."

"real or fake......"

Natsuki felt his worldview being challenged once again. He gradually loosened his grip on Astra's neck and looked at the two brothers with a complicated expression.

He was also very familiar with Leo and Astra, having known them for countless years. They would occasionally spar together, and his Cosmic Fist was learned from those two brothers.

Those two brothers also protected Earth, even sacrificing their lives to protect their second home.

They were later known as the Ultra Brothers, and their relationship with Natsuki was similar to that of family.

That's absolutely absurd.

Leo and Astra have become assassins for the Star Cluster Council, tasked with handling their dirty work.

The appearance of these two assassins... he really couldn't recognize them as Leo and Astra from his memory.

It's not entirely certain yet.

It might be a Babar alien in disguise.

He remembered that when he was on a mission, the Babar aliens disguised themselves as Astra and infiltrated the Land of Light, stealing the Ultra Key and almost causing an irreparable disaster.

The members of the Space Garrison hate the Babar aliens, which is also related to that incident.

Upon hearing the news, Natsuki rushed back, but before he could get there, the legendary old man intervened, averting the tragedy and allowing the Land of Light to officially accept the two unfortunate brothers.

"you..."

Thank you so much!

Seeing Natsuki release Astra, Leo shouted excitedly.

He rushed forward to check Astra's injuries, his face full of anxiety and worry.

Natsuki witnessed this scene.

Then suddenly I felt... this seems to be Leo and Astra in this universe. The Babar aliens can disguise themselves as others, but they can never disguise this unbreakable brotherly bond.

"you......"

Natsuki looked at Astra lying on the ground and Leo kneeling on the ground holding Astra, and felt a headache coming on.

"What's wrong, Natsuki?"

"They are the Lion Brothers, the direct assassins of the Star Cluster Council."

“Sending them out signifies our determination to eliminate you. Under these circumstances, what are you still hesitating for?” Ed’s voice came through the communicator.

Inside the command center, Ed's face was practically pressed against the screen as he observed the content on the screen.

He was very curious about Natsuki's unusual behavior.

Why weren't these two brothers dealt with in the same way that Ace Killer was dealt with?

"nothing."

"Leave it to me for now," Xia Shu replied in the communication.

Even in another universe, the Ultra Warriors' personalities and lives may have changed drastically, but... some of the most fundamental things remain the same.

Hokuto Seiji, who robs thugs and beats them half to death, also harbors a deep desire for peaceful coexistence between humans and aliens.

"Why did you become assassins for the Star Cluster Council?" Natsuki asked, looking at Leo and Astra.

He needs to figure out the reasons behind this, and then, if things don't work out, he can take the two brothers back to his own universe.

"That's great... Astra..." Leo breathed a sigh of relief as he saw Astra's life returning.

Then she looked up at Natsuki, who had asked the question.

If the man agrees to release Astra, he will keep his promise and agree to anything the other party asks.

“The reason we became assassins is because we were both orphans who were adopted by the Star Cluster Council when we were homeless,” Leo said truthfully.

"What is your hometown...?"

"L77 Star".

"L77 Star..."

As Xia Shu listened to the increasingly familiar information, her expression beneath the mask grew more and more somber.

Orphans from Planet L77... two brothers who depend on each other for survival... Leo... Astra...

This universe is truly full of "surprises".

It was somewhat directed at him, an elderly man approaching 20,000 years old.

"One last question: what were your true thoughts when you were killing people for the Star Cluster Council?" Natsuki asked the most crucial question.

This was also the question that would determine the fate of the two brothers.

"this..."

Leo hesitated when he heard the question.

Unexpectedly, this was the question that the other party was most concerned about at that moment.

"Actually... we L77 people don't like taking other people's lives."

"However, since we have been adopted by the Star Cluster Council, in order to repay the kindness of our upbringing, we will not question any of the Council's decisions."

"We will do whatever we are required to do."

"The day we became assassins, we knew our fate."

"So even if you kill me, I will have no regrets. I only hope that you can spare Astra's life. After leaving the council, I promise he will never harm another life."

Leo knelt on the ground and hugged Astra even tighter, speaking with a solemn expression.

He knew a little about the target of his mission, had witnessed their battles, and had seen some of the choices they made during the fight. He knew that this was someone who would not easily condone their evil deeds.

The prey's strength far exceeded their expectations, but their fate was not different from what they had originally anticipated; the assassins could not escape unscathed.

If he had to die, he hoped he would be the only one to die.

Chapter 430 The Promise of Life

Leo's answer changed Natsuki's impression of the two brothers somewhat.

"So concerned about his brother's life...?" he said.

"Because I...only have one family member left in this world."

“Protecting Astra is my reason for living,” Leo said, raising his head with unwavering determination.

Ever since he was adopted by the Star Cluster Council, he has been searching for the meaning of his life, but he has never found it. The only thing he cares about is his younger brother.

He accepted whatever happened next.

"Would you be willing to betray the Star Cluster Council for your brother's sake?"

“Betrayal of the organization that raised you.” The visor of Natsuki’s mask emitted a faint light, obscuring his eyes. Leo could not discern the man’s emotions from them.

Having done a lot of dirty work for the Star Cluster Council, Leo knew some inside information about the council.

He guessed that this man might be after these things.

Should he hand over intelligence, betray the Star Cluster Council, in exchange for his brother's life?

“Sure!” Leo answered decisively.

Unlike his more composed younger brother, he is more impulsive, and the responsibility of being the eldest brother also rests on his shoulders.

Having worked as an assassin within the Star Cluster Council for decades, he witnessed its dark side and harbored his own dissent against its practices. However, when he voiced his concerns, he was met with suppression and imprisonment. It was only out of gratitude for being raised that he refrained from betraying them.

Given the current situation, the other party is forcing him to make a choice by threatening his brother's life, so he will inevitably have to choose his brother's life.

Having done so many dirty jobs over the years without receiving any good treatment, I've already repaid the debt of gratitude I owe them.

"I've said it before, all I want is my brother's life."

"I'll agree to any other condition, even if it means giving up my own life!" Leo emphasized hastily, fearing the other party might change his mind again.

He had previously experienced firsthand the murderous intent emanating from this man.

Without a doubt, this person had planned to kill him and his brother on the spot.

"Why is that?"

"Would it make a warrior like you waver...?"

“Tell me, Natsuki…” Inside the Science Patrol base, Ed stared intently at the screen, unwilling to miss a single detail of the scene.

He wanted to know more about this man.

"That kind of thing never existed in the first place."

“I have no right to forgive those who have already died, you who trample on life so wantonly.” Natsuki’s voice came through both the communicator and the visor at the same time, and Ed and Leo both heard his words.

Upon hearing this, Ed's curiosity grew even stronger.

Leo's heart sank immediately.

"These two must be punished."

“However… I hope it will be in my own way.” Natsuki said in a deep voice, looking at Leo who was about to plead for him again.

Should we ignore the brothers' past misdeeds and let them gloriously become Ultraman?

That kind of thing will absolutely not happen.

Natsuki has no right to represent those who have died; he can only represent himself. These two brothers are not the Leo and Astra he knows.
