Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

But just as he was about to protest against His Majesty the Emperor for the first time in 30,000 years, Alien Empera immediately followed up with a sinister threat: "If even a single hair is lost from the wise generals who have returned to my hands, your so-called kingdom will no longer need to exist."

"Your Majesty the Emperor!" It was still Mefilas, but this time his voice was filled with emotion, tears streaming down his face.

Heavens above, earth below! Having served His Majesty the Emperor for so many years, this is the first time His Majesty has shown me such importance and care!

Dame Filas' life has been worthwhile!

"Would I, an envoy of the Absolut race, an ultimate life form, not return what I borrowed? Don't underestimate me!" Tartarus said sternly. When it came to the kingdom's reputation, he wouldn't allow anyone to question him.

Alien Empera remained unfazed, undeterred by Tartarus's imposing manner: "Who knows?"

Sigh, both fathers are obsessed with saving face. If they disagree on something, they might start fighting.

Father of Ultra sighed helplessly and had no choice but to step in as a peacemaker, offering a way out for both sides: "If we can defeat Gatanothor, that pure dark evil god, together, I believe neither of us will go back on our word or resort to any underhanded tactics."

"So, are you coming?" Alien Empera suddenly changed the subject, and anyone could see his great interest.

"Huh?" Father of Ultra asked, bewildered. "What's coming?"

"Let's bet on the outcome of your three-round challenge with Ultraman Zero." Alien Empera's enthusiasm was so intense that it almost made one wonder if he was deliberately trying to force Father of Ultra to speak and drag the latter into the conflict, which was why he was at loggerheads with Tartarus.

An unprecedented opportunity to make a bet with your arch-rival!

Father of Ultra hesitated, giving Alien Empera some face, and politely declined: "Isn't that inappropriate?"

"Even if you win, I will have Mefilas help your Kingdom of Light carry out a cultural invasion of the entire Dark Nebula to reduce the aggression of the Dark Aliens?"

boom!

Alien Empera unleashed a devastating attack right from the start. This grand and imposing scheme caused Tartarus to gasp in astonishment. Compared to Zero's still immature arrogance, this was truly domineering and exuding an aura of kingly dominance!

"I bet Zero will win one out of three games!" With a snap, Father of Ultra placed his piece in almost half a second, as if afraid that Alien Empera might change his mind.

Even the dignified captain of the Land of Light's security force has been corrupted. There's nothing he can do; the bargaining chip offered by the other party is too tempting to miss. It's a completely open conspiracy, just like the Ultra Constellation strategy.

"can."

Alien Empera nodded slightly, a smile curving his lips. He was clearly in an extremely good mood. The long-awaited opportunity to turn the tables on the Land of Light and Father of Ultra made him feel incredibly happy!

However, the fact that he was willing to offer such terms does not mean that he thought he would lose. On the contrary, he had absolute confidence in himself, which is why he was willing to use mephiras as chips to place his bet.

Alien Empera narrowed his eyes, carefully examining Zero's arrogant yet naive and flawed performance on the stage. After a moment of contemplation, he finally delivered a powerful judgment: "I conclude that this foolish junior will lose all three matches!"

"And what are your conditions?" Father of Ultra asked. "Do you want us to extinguish the Ultra Constellation?"

"No!"

At this moment, Emperor Alien's face was filled with a wild, maniacal aura. He stared intently at Father of Ultra and Tartarus, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"I order your two families to join forces and create an Emperor constellation in the M78 Nebula that surpasses the size of the Ultra Constellation!"

……

"This is truly a high-stakes gamble."

Ace was a little worried. He always cared for and looked after his juniors the most, and he couldn't bear to see Zero suffer the setbacks he was about to face.

"To be crushed in front of the entire universe, especially after making such a boastful statement, is this really good for him? Won't it be too much of a blow to Zero? Won't it break his heart too much?"

Even now, he still finds it difficult to remain calm.

But Kassa shook his head and said firmly, "This is for his own good."

The Land of Light never forces its members to go out on missions to save others, but Zero has this inclination. Even if they don't push him, Zero will take this path on his own.

However, without the major crisis of Belial, Zero is too immature. Going on field missions with this mentality will only cause accidents. Now, let him suffer setbacks. At least the price is only his own temporary face and the temporary face of the entire Land of Light.

But if we don't let him suffer setbacks here, the price he'll have to pay later will be the victims he rescues with this kind of mentality, and that's definitely not acceptable.

As long as Zero's mentality can mature, it doesn't matter if all the Ultra Warriors are ridiculed by the Dark Aliens for a long time afterward.

“I believe in Zero, I believe in him,” Kasa said softly and slowly. “This is not because I have seen his original future, but because I believe in my student. He will not be discouraged, nor will he be deaf to advice. He is not truly arrogant or self-centered. He just needs some experience.”

As Kassa, as an instructor, teacher, and mentor, it was his duty to arrange these trials for Zero.

"But no matter what, the three you chose are just too strong, aren't they?"

Ace was still troubled. "This is such a huge blow. Even if he doesn't completely break down, it will make him doubt himself, right? Couldn't they at least have chosen a weaker one for the third one?"

“That’s because you underestimate Zero,” Kassa laughed. “Do you think he’ll be overwhelmingly defeated in all three rounds?”

Ace hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "...Could it be that it won't be overwhelming?"

“No, the first two will be overwhelming,” Kasa rejected, but his eyes shone brightly with absolute confidence in his disciple. “But this challenge will be a best-of-three series!”

Boom!

As soon as Kasa finished speaking, the commotion caused by Zero's boastful words gradually subsided. Babar didn't mind Zero's provocation at all, and laughed heartily as he introduced the first contestant in Zero's three challenges!

"A trinity, three faces in one body, three consciousnesses controlling one body, a notorious cosmic bully, the strongest individual cosmic mercenary in the Dark Nebula, a super strongman who likes to rise to power by stepping on the fallen statues of other strongmen!"

"Hidden weapons, martial arts, telekinesis, the ability to turn metal into gold, unique footwork—he possesses all the fighting styles imaginable. He was once a super strongman who achieved the highest winning streak in street fighting in the Eridanus universe!"

"A man who once boasted that he would defeat Father of Ultra and Alien Empera, a man who is recognized as surpassing the Dark Four Heavenly Kings, a man who inspires fear in all who hear his name."

"Come on, shout his name with me, the Three-Faced Golem Gashurein—!!!!"

Chapter 239 Tartarus: It's all a conspiracy, a complete conspiracy!

Babar's guidance did not fail. When the name "Three-Faced Golem" was mentioned, the Dark Star people present were first stunned, and then one by one they started to revel, popping champagne on the spot and roaring with joy. Many of them were like mindless fans, looking just like star chasers.

Such a welcoming reception has only been seen when the people of the Land of Light appear since the start of the competition.

"Is that the universe fighting champion of this world?" In the audience, the Gregor, the universe fighting champion of the Three Heroes Timeline, was on high alert. Although the other fighters were also important, only the Three-Faced Golem had the same title as him.

Judging from the current situation, it is clear that the vast majority of people prefer the Three-Faced Golem Gashurein. This cannot continue; he must reclaim his own exclusive title!

Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Light and the Empire of Empera determined that he and Gashu Rhine were at the same level, which meant that neither could challenge the other. They could only wait and see in subsequent rounds of selection to see which time they could meet. As long as he kept winning, they would eventually meet.

Guregor believed that even with so many experts here, he could still easily make it into the top few hundred, or at least the top thousand. So whether the two could meet on the stage depended on whether Gashurein could hold on.

"Hey hey hey, that's right, that's right, it's me, your grandpa, here I come!"

jump!

With a laugh and a carefree attitude, the highly respected Gashu Rhine makes her grand entrance with a single sentence spoken by three different faces and mouths!

He didn't take Zero seriously at all, and directly spread his arms to face the audience, enjoying his super high popularity and the level of popularity that far exceeded that of other Dark Aliens.

The powerful members of the Zarab clan, who felt ashamed of being beaten by the first generation, clenched their fists and cheered: "Go, Gashurein, beat the brats from the Land of Light to a pulp!"

"Let him see the power of the Dark Nebula warriors!"

"If we lose again, we mighty dark warriors will be looked down upon by the entire universe! If we lose, we will absolutely not let you off the hook!"

"Don't be careless, you bastard! If you lose, I'll make you my drinking companion!"

Not only the Zarab aliens, but also large numbers of Dark Aliens, joined in. Their passionate and fervent shouts made it seem to outsiders that they were invaders, desperately defending their territory.

In fact, since Ace's matches, there have been several matches involving security guards, all of which ended with the security guards winning without any suspense. They were spurred on and eager to save face.

Although the Dark Nebula is rife with various factions that frequently fight each other, this statement can easily be used as an excuse now. In the eyes of a broad audience, they will subconsciously assume that any alien from the Dark Nebula is an ally.

Now that we are all in this together, sharing both glory and ruin, it's time for the Dark Nebula to reclaim its former glory!

“You sound quite famous.” Zero rubbed his nose, a look of smug satisfaction on his face. “That’s quite a coincidence. Defeating you saves me a lot of trouble.”

"What a coincidence? You arrogant brat, I'm not in a very good mood right now."

Gashu Rhine, in the tough-guy style of a boss, snorted coldly, full of disdain, "I've already defeated too many weak brats like you. One more of you won't make a difference. The opponents I should have aren't trash like you. Get down here and bring that guy Kasa up for me!"

"Huh?" Zero was half annoyed. This guy was arrogant and completely ignored him. "You mean only the instructor is worthy to be your opponent?"

"Is that even a question?" Gashu Rhine snorted, about to directly provoke Kassa below the stage.

But before he could do that, an enraged Zero charged forward, shouting things like, "You're 20,000 years too early to call me trash." His fighting stance was full of holes, clearly showing that he was blinded by his emotions and his fighting skills had temporarily declined.

"Too young!"

Gashu Rhein laughed loudly, raised his arm loaded with the boomerang, and steadily caught Zero's flying kick. He then retaliated with a chop to Zero's neck, who hadn't even regained his balance after the failed kick.

"What?!" Zero was stunned. He should have fallen backward quickly after being attacked like this, but an invisible force held him still, so that he remained standing still despite the excruciating pain from the chop.

"You inexperienced nobody, let me teach you a lesson!"

Without any warning, Gashu Rein unleashed his psychic power, pinning the small fry to the spot. Then, he unleashed a barrage of punches, showering the opponent's entire body with blows. Six punches per second was not his limit; it was just that he was only willing to use this level of power and speed on small fry.

Even though he had held back to some extent, Zero was still knocked down by this barrage of punches. As the final punch landed, his psychic restraints were released, and his entire body flew backward, completely powerless to resist.

But that wasn't the end of it. With a whoosh, the three sides merged into one, and Gashu Rhine's most powerful move was immediately unleashed. Golden light flashed, and when Zero, who was being targeted, fell to the ground, he was simultaneously transformed into a golden statue, suffering a complete defeat.

"Huh?"

Surprised!

All of humanity on Showa Earth, including the Science Patrol, the MAT team, the Ultra Guard, and the TAK team, was stunned!

Although Zero's introduction states that he is underage, and his appearance clearly indicates that he is not very reliable yet, the fact that he overwhelmingly and unilaterally crushes the opponent is unreasonable. This does not conform to their understanding of Ultraman!

"It makes sense, it makes perfect sense." On the other hand, in the Three Heroes Timeline, all members of XIG and Super Victory Team immediately accepted this development.

Unlike the Showa era, all four Ultramen who have gone to Showa Earth so far are veterans who have been through countless battles and are all ancient soldiers.

The three heroes are from different time periods. Gaia's first few battles were visibly immature and uncoordinated, and he was always getting the short end of the stick. Dyna's fighting style was also rather slippery and immature. Only Tiga was at his peak from the start, killing two opponents at once like an old man.

For XIG and Super Victory Team, who have been with Gaia and Dyna since they started from scratch, this is not the first time they have seen an immature Ultraman like Zero.

Compared to Zero, it's more accurate to say that the steady and powerful veterans like Kassadin and Ace have truly redefined their understanding of Ultraman.

Of course, while they wouldn't be surprised, if they had to say something, they would certainly prefer that even a naive, underage Ultraman could win, but unfortunately, they couldn't.

"Yay! Yay! Yay!" The Dark Star people were already popping champagne.

Yapool's eyes lit up, and he immediately switched to the live stream, creating 100,000 alt accounts to spam the chat. He started by cursing Zero as a nobody, and after cursing him, he started to digress, saying that the future of the Land of Light was worrying. He then went on to claim that producing such a new generation was the strongest new generation, which showed that the Land of Light was full of useless trash.

Of course, as we all know, there are many capable individuals in the Land of Light, so it's definitely not all their fault that they've fallen to this state; there must be a mastermind behind it all.

In short, all the mistakes were made by Ultraman Ace!

"First Ace committed the sin of pride, then Ace committed the sin of sloth, and then Ace committed the sin of envy..."

Estun was speechless. He went to check the live stream chat to see if anyone was taking the opportunity to belittle Zero. If so, he would say something fair. But when he entered, he saw 100,000 newly opened accounts spamming the chat.

He sighed and rubbed his forehead, shouting at the Yapool people in the distance who had set up a huge bunch of high-tech internet devices in front of them: "You only dare to use alt accounts for cyberbullying? You're getting more and more backward, Yapool people!"

"Who said that!" Yapool couldn't stand this provocation. Veins bulged on his forehead as he angrily retorted, "Can't these be my main accounts, you bastard Ace!"

wrong!
