On the other hand, there's the timeline of the "past".
Ten years ago, when Zena arrived, Old Man Bell revealed his true form and explained the situation, recounting his purpose for coming.
Young Asakura Riku listened with stars in his eyes, incredibly excited.
He asked longingly, "So, will I, like you, be an outstanding Ultra Warrior in the future?"
Bei Laobai said, "You are far inferior to me, but as a newcomer, you are much better than that [Kai]. I'll say you barely pass."
"Yay!" Asakura Riku was very satisfied, jumping and skipping around.
Zena, standing to the side, had finished processing Belial's words with a solemn expression.
Although it sounds incredible, His Majesty Beria is probably not a man who likes to joke.
"So, in order to prevent the 'future' from being turned upside down, we must find and eliminate the holder of the Dark Star, right?" he summarized.
Belial: "That's right, that bastard is near this school."
Zena volunteered to take on the reconnaissance mission outside the school.
He was responsible for checking all the people who had passed near the school when Beria first arrived at this "node," as well as the nearby residents.
Beria: "Okay, I trust you to get things done. Lu and I will take care of things on campus."
Asakura Riku asked with delight, "Can I participate in this operation too?"
Beria: "Otherwise, you know this place better than I do, don't you?"
Asakura Riku: "Yay!"
In the afternoon, Belial accompanied Asakura Riku back to Aizaki Moa's house. The latter, carrying her schoolbag, was all smiles the whole time.
This is the first time an elder has picked him up from school. He's no different from the other students now!
At first, Aizaki Moa's father thought someone wanted to adopt Asakura Riku, but he was shocked when he heard Belial's voice.
That voice sounds so familiar... It's the same voice that appeared in his dream before!
"Are you... Amaterasu?" he exclaimed in surprise.
He once had a very vivid dream, which didn't immediately fade upon waking; he still remembers it clearly to this day.
In his dream, a phantom radiating golden-blue light approached him, asking him to treat Asakura Riku kindly, promising to protect him and his family from illness and disaster for the rest of their lives.
This led the somewhat superstitious man to believe that it was Amaterasu Omikami, and that Asakura Riku was Amaterasu Omikami's offspring, a divine child, which excited him for a long time.
But later, seeing that Asakura Riku had nothing special about him except for his high jumps, he gradually became indifferent and stopped taking it seriously.
I never expected that the person in question would come looking for me today!
Bei Laobai looked completely bewildered: "What the hell? Your way of addressing me reminds me of a really brain-dead woman!"
The afterglow from the other end of the time tunnel transmitted a message to Belial, saying that in the past, in order to make Asakura Riku's childhood better, he had appeared to him in a dream.
The golden-blue illusory figure that Aizaki Moa's father dreamed of was actually him in his soul form.
Now that Belial's mimicry is identical to his voice, it's no wonder that Aizaki Moa's father misunderstands him.
Aizaki Moa's father explained, "You don't know this, but a figure once appeared to me in a dream, and his voice..."
Beria said, "What do you mean you don't know? I know that guy very well. Come on, come on, come inside."
At the dinner table that evening, Aizaki Moya's mother also thought that someone wanted to adopt Asakura Riku, and was happy that she would have one less chore to do in the future.
As a result, Beria, with his immense power, immediately dazzled the couple.
He stated that he was fair in rewarding and punishing, and generously threw out a large stack of 10,000 yen notes, then placed two large gold bars on top of it.
Looking at the golden yellow croaker, Aizaki Moya's mother had a very interesting expression.
His expression was exactly like Kogoro Mouri in "Detective Conan" when he saw the Kudo couple take out a large sum of money for boarding school; all his previous complaints vanished instantly.
She immediately said, "Actually, Xiao Lu is so cute, we all like him very much!"
Aizaki Moe's father adopted the demeanor of the head of the family: "See, I told you, obeying the divine decree will bring blessings!"
The next day, Beria accompanied Asakura Riku to school.
As they approached the school gate, Riku Asakura remembered the parents he had seen along the way, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Belial-senpai, could you help me with my schoolbag?"
Belial was speechless: "Seriously? Even though you're not transformed right now, you shouldn't be so weak that you can't even lift a backpack, right?"
Asakura Riku: "No, I just wanted you to help me carry my schoolbag!"
Belial: "Alright, alright, remember to strengthen your physical training, so you don't end up like that guy Yu Hui who can't lift a finger or carry anything."
As he spoke, he casually took Asakura Riku's schoolbag, which brought a smile to the latter's face.
Upon entering the classroom, the students who had been chatting with each other before class suddenly changed their expressions, and the atmosphere instantly became heavy.
Just before Asakura Riku arrived, they were all talking about how Asakura Riku's father seemed to be a big shot, and that if anyone dared to mess with him, he would have the police arrest their parents.
Now, let alone being mocked or bullied, there's no one left who will even look him in the eye. His freckled female classmate is trembling with fear.
Takahashi wasn't among them; he transferred schools, and in the end, he was the one who packed his bags and left.
However, Asakura Riku still maintains his childlike innocence, sitting upright and listening attentively in class, and remaining very polite to Aota Hikaru-sensei.
As soon as the bell rang, Asakura Riku quickly left his desk, preparing to meet up with Belial.
Just then, the student behind him was in a hurry to go to the toilet and got up, accidentally bumping into him. This frightened the student so much that he apologized repeatedly, almost kneeling down.
As for Asakura Riku, he didn't seem to care at all, and just casually said "It's okay" before running away.
This made Aota Hikaru very gratified, feeling that he hadn't misjudged the person.
In the following days, Asakura Riku did not seize the opportunity to ascend to the "throne" of the children's king and become the next evil dragon.
Completely oblivious to the eerie atmosphere in the class, he acted alongside Belial, feeling a sense of satisfaction as he played the hero, a smile spreading across his face.
He often hovered around Beria, asking all sorts of questions. The latter had gotten used to his chatter and, though he looked helpless, still answered.
"Senior Belial, will we be comrades-in-arms fighting side by side in the future?"
"Fight side by side? You overestimate yourself. More often than not, you're the one who can't handle things, and I come to the rescue."
"So I've never defeated a formidable enemy on my own?"
"Yes, quite a few, such as a giant beetle that grows to fifty meters long and can manipulate magnets."
In this pleasant atmosphere, they spent seven days investigating the background of everyone on campus, but still found nothing.
Belial was going crazy and started focusing his attention on the rats at the school.
Then Asakura Riku had a sudden inspiration: "Actually... there's another person who rarely comes to school, and he's in my class. His name is Mafushi Yuuki."
Belial: "This is the last one, isn't it? Let's go see him!"
..............................
On the other side, under the breached dark clouds, Ultraman Zero, as Earth's last line of defense, fought a fierce battle with the evil Belial to a fever pitch!
The situation was extremely tense. Although Zero was not injured or deliberately weakened in his current normal state, Belial was one step ahead.
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" Zero wielded the head-mounted dart, using it as a dagger to slash rapidly, creating a series of afterimages.
In response, Belial retaliated with a claw wreathed in red and black destructive energy, thwarting Zero's attack.
This is the [Extremely Evil Hellclaw]!
Zero's rising momentum faltered. He inserted the two head-mounted darts into the timer on his chest, and a wide-ranging beam of light burst forth.
This is Zero's strongest single-target beam attack in his normal state—[Zero Double Ray]!
Belial, the most evil, also retaliated with a beam of light. He clasped his hands together and released a purple beam of light wrapped in red and black lightning.
This is the ultimate attack of the Extreme Evil Form—[Extreme Evil Burst]!
Two beams of light, one azure and the other a deep purple, collided and clashed in the air, generating terrifying energy fluctuations.
The strong wind pressure shattered all the windows of the surrounding buildings in an instant!
"It's always the same old trick. Do you think I'm still the same person I used to be?" Belial sneered and increased his power.
The Extreme Evil Burst became even more solid and robust, pushing the azure Zero Twin Rays back!
"Bang!" The beam attack failed, and Zero was blasted away by the recoiled beam, falling to the ground with a fragile sound as his chest armor creaked.
"It's over, Zero lost too!" Peja thought for a moment that everything was about to end.
“No, not yet!” Toba Raiyo said.
"Cough cough... Looks like you've gotten stronger again." Zero looked a bit disheveled after failing to spar with the beam.
He clutched his chest, but was unharmed. The lights didn't even flicker, and he dusted himself off and stood up again.
This is Ultraman Zero, the new generation's pillar of the Land of Light!
"But you're still 20,000 years away from defeating me!" he roared, his aura soaring, the ultimate bracelet gleaming.
Golden armor resembling wings appeared on his body, and a silver-white longsword appeared in his right hand.
The strongest form currently available, Ultimate Zero, has arrived!
"Whoosh!" After transforming into Ultimate Zero, his speed reached its limit, and he rushed in front of Belial in an instant, slashing down heavily with the silver-white Ultimate Zero sword.
Bei Laohei retaliated with the [Extremely Evil Hell Claw], but was awakened from his slumber by a single sword strike.
He felt a spasm, his claws were almost chopped off, and his defenses were breached!
With sword light flashing like a shadow, Zero slashed vertically and horizontally, causing sparks to fly all over Belial's body, and he was knocked backward.
Belial felt a burning pain and realized the difference in strength between the two sides.
He's very strong now, but he's still a bit short of being able to deal with Zero under the power of his ultimate armor.
"It seems I need to fully digest my son's energy."
With that thought, he kicked off with his right leg and soared into the sky, intending to withdraw from the battlefield and temporarily avoid the brunt of Ultimate Zero's attack.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Zero roared as his ultimate armor transformed into bow and arrow mode. He drew his bow, charged up, and aimed at Belial, the evil one, as golden light condensed around him.

In the original series, Infinite Zero was fighting well when Geed suddenly rushed in and got himself killed...
