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

Only after saying that did he realize he'd been exposed!

"Isn't it too late to try and cover it up now?" Kassa laughed, ignoring the Yapool who were gesticulating wildly and claiming that those accounts represented public opinion, a boiling public sentiment, and the entire universe's counterattack against the despicable Ace. Instead, he focused more on the defeated Zero.

"Great!" Gashu Rein on the stage beamed with delight. "I've got another golden statue!"

Even though he's just a nobody, he's still an Ultraman, and his collection doesn't include any people from the Land of Light yet.

"I doubt there will be many more."

"Who? Who has a problem with me?"

“It’s me.” Kasa teleported onto the stage. “Zero has lost. The outcome is decided. The battle ends here. The victor has no right to dispose of the loser’s body. That’s the rule.”

"You think you can just make rules like that? Does that mean I'm illiterate? I've never actually read any of these so-called rules. Now that I've determined you to be meddling in the battle, I have the right to defend myself!"

Gashu Rein's eyes flashed. Seeing the much-anticipated Kassa appear, he started to scheme. Without saying a word, he immediately unleashed his strongest psychic power. Defeating a mere underage nobody was nothing. But if he could defeat the renowned Kassa here, that would be a real feat!

boom!

However, the moment his psychic power pressed towards Kassa, an Ultra psychic power that was in no way inferior to his, and even slightly stronger, immediately swept in like a tsunami, carrying his psychic power back.

With three sharp thuds, Gashurein, drenched in cold sweat, was forced to take three steps back, staring dumbfounded at Kasa, who stood guard beside the Zero statue without retreating an inch.

Just then, the host Babar's voice arrived in time: "This rule really exists. If you lay a hand on Ultraman Kasa again, you will be disqualified from the competition!"

"Hmph, rules it is."

With a soft snort, Gashu Rein quickly put her trembling little hand behind her back, pretending nothing had happened. She casually wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and as she turned to leave the stage, she still had to throw out some harsh words, "I look forward to a proper fight with you, Ultraman Kasa!"

Are you really looking forward to it?

Kassa smiled, carried the golden Zero away from the arena, waved, and the Silver Cross medic who had been prepared came over quickly, quickly dealt with the problem, and also restored the kid to full health.

"Instructor..." Zero was stunned for two seconds after recovering, his face turning bright red. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

Kasa gave a half-smile. "What are your thoughts?"

"Well, uh..." Zero turned his face away, stammering, but still gritted his teeth and stubbornly said, "I was careless and didn't dodge. I'm sure I can do better if I do it again."

"If it were a fight to the death, you would have died just now. Where would you get a second chance?" Kasa's eyes showed no disappointment in his disciple. He simply asked calmly, "Will you be complacent, careless, and underestimate your enemy again next time, making attack stances full of flaws?"

"...No more."

"Okay, let's go up and play the second match now."

"what?"

Zero was incredulous. He had fought so badly and embarrassed the instructors, yet he was still allowed to play a second match?

Kassa glanced at him sideways. "What, don't want to fight anymore?"

"No, that's not it." Zero shook his head like a rattle-drum. After hesitating for a long time, he finally got up and went onto the stage without saying anything.

His eyes shone with understanding; he had finally realized why the instructor had so readily allowed him to "show off."

For Ultraman Zero, the reasons for his previous failure cannot be used as an excuse for a second failure. This time, he is determined to show his instructor how much progress he has made!

"Alright, Ultraman Zero, who was called a weakling in his debut, has been revived and returned. Let's see his second opponent."

"Oh, Your Majesty the Emperor! Very well, let us welcome the one that the headstrong little minion Zero has chosen, a strongman who is not much weaker than Gashu Rhine, and who is also a contestant in the Dark Nebula betting game who is generally favored to at least rank in the top 1,000. Welcome, Reiflet Alien!"

Boom!

The Reflat alien, whose body was made of steel and had spikes in the center, made a heavy thud as soon as it appeared on the field, and it was clear at a glance that it was of extraordinary weight.

Both Hachiman Hikigaya and Miko Yotsuya recognized this guy. Although this alien was not as famous as Mefilas and the Kirieloid, he was still a formidable and impressive figure.

He appeared in the Ultraman Mebius TV series and easily defeated Ultraman Mebius, who had progressed to the late stage and was about to reach his complete form. Even though Ultraman Mebius received guidance and underwent special training, he ultimately had to team up with Leo to defeat him.

This is absolutely a top-tier player who would be considered a formidable opponent in any universe!

"Choosing this kind of opponent for Zero right now... What were you thinking, Uncle Casa?!"

Shocked, Hachiman Hikigaya and Miko Yotsuya became anxious. They had more feelings for Zero than for anyone else, and they immediately became anxious and wanted to shout out the precautions they needed to take when fighting the Reifleth Alien.

But it was too late.

"I won't be careless this time. Come on, watch my Zero Beam!"

Zero roared, his left hand outstretched to gather power, and his L-shaped hands quickly emitted a powerful beam. This was proof of his genius; after only a short period of training, he had already created his own unique finishing move.

Although he can't completely fool the instructors, and he's not as good as Ace and the others, the power of this ultimate move is still not to be underestimated. Will the enemy dodge it? Or will they block it with their psychic powers?

Zero made his guesses, but the next second he saw that the Reiflet alien did not dodge or evade, nor did it use any other moves. It simply took the beam of light head-on without being damaged at all, and then reflected the entire beam back in one go!

"What? How is this possible—uhhhhhh!"

Pfft!

Caught off guard, Zero was sent flying backward off the planet-sized arena by the rebounding beam, resulting in his immediate elimination and an overwhelming defeat!

"The Reifletian has won!" Babar quickly announced the result, and with a wave of his hand, he signaled that the winner could also leave the arena.

Reifletian: "???"

No, I didn't even make a move, and the battle was over? That's incredibly powerful.

"No way, what the hell?!"

On the golden throne, Tartarus's eyes were even bigger than those of the Reiflet alien, his face full of question marks. This...this is not right! This Zero is not the same thing he remembers at all!

Someone's fixing the match!

"Was it you?!"

Tartarus's eyes were bloodshot, and he was practically grabbing Father of Ultra's cape. "You made your Zero throw a fight just to get in my way, so the formulaic approach was overwhelmed and suffered a humiliating defeat!"

"I don't know where you get such confidence in Zero from." Father of Ultra was both amused and exasperated. As an elder, did he not want Zero to win three rounds? There was nothing he could do about it.

Sigh, red-eyed gamblers.

The Alien Empera on one side remained calm and casually reminded her, "Don't look too bad."

"You're so calm!" Tartarus snapped. "It's not like you're the one who lost!"

If Zero loses again in the third round, then his great kingdom of Absolut will have to work with the Land of Light to create a cosmic spectacle for Alien Empera. Where will that leave his dignity as an ultimate life form?

Damn it, Zero, come on! Show some skill! Show us the glory of your debut at the peak, the stepping stone that swept through the entire Land of Light universe!

He really wished he could personally step into the fray and fight in place of Ultraman Zero!

Tartarus's gaze swept over the bewildered Zero, then turned to Kassa, who seemed to be giving him some instructions. "Use it too, Ultraman Kassa!"

"The ability of the Reiflet aliens to deflect energy-based attacks is described in the general textbooks of the Land of Light's [Complete Encyclopedia of Aliens], and it's listed very early on."

Seeing his disciple looking bewildered and dejected, Kasa said softly, "You've always been last in humanities subjects. Now, do you still think this knowledge is useless?"

"...I've deeply reflected on my actions, Instructor." Zero was on the verge of tears. "What's the third thing you want to teach me?"

He was terrified. After two consecutive defeats since his debut, if he lost again, he feared that no matter how much he improved, his image in the eyes of the entire universe would be permanently reduced to that of a nobody.

"Education? No, education is over."

Kassa shook his head slightly, his gentle voice carrying a resounding encouragement:

"You will win the third match!"

Chapter 240 Ultraman: I'm Not a God

What do monsters symbolize?

"What do monsters represent?"

Why are monsters ultimately called monsters?

High above the arena, Babar stood solemnly. Having begun to reform, his introduction was particularly dignified, deliberately emphasizing certain facts.

"Destruction, ruin, incomprehensibility, disregard for sustainable development, bringing slaughter, destruction and disaster!"

"The universe is so vast that some civilizations and individuals may be lucky enough to encounter those gentle and peaceful monsters. But now I want to reiterate, ladies and gentlemen, please remember, monsters are monsters precisely because they are not like us cosmic beings!"

"Perhaps some people hate me, Babar, to the core right now, but I want to tell you that the next contestant to appear will be a hundred times more evil, a hundred times more hateful, and a hundred times more ruthless than me!"

"Born to kill, with the goal of slaughtering all life in the world, he moves between multiple star systems to commit crimes. He possesses high intelligence but only uses it to assist his indiscriminate killing. He is among the top three on the wanted lists of all forces of justice and order, including the Land of Light and the Galactic Federation, U40, the Galactic Rescue Team, Z95, and Andrew's Team, without exception!"

"Like Bogaru, it is intolerable to any intelligent life. Evil, cruel, and violent, yet it has committed crimes to this day because of its terrifying and powerful strength. The second most wanted monster in the universe, the cobra monster Gamos, is here!"

ga-

Accompanied by Babar's solemn introduction, a pitch-black monster, sixty meters tall, weighing thirty thousand tons, and exuding extremely high intelligence and indiscriminate danger, thundered onto the stage.

In that instant, Zagal's eyes turned bloodshot as he struggled to get up and fight back. As a member of the Galactic Federation, his wife and children, and even all life on his home planet, had been indiscriminately slaughtered by Gamos. He had been hunting down this brutal monster ever since!

He came to sign up because he heard that the other party was heading this way.

"Calm down!" Zais and Nais were trying to hold him down. "Going up there now is against the rules. You'll be kicked out of this nebula in front of everyone!"

"That doesn't matter! As long as I can kill that guy before then, it's all worth it!"

Zagar's eyes were bloodshot as he struggled incessantly. Zais and Nais were utterly helpless; even these two young upstarts could hold him down. How could he possibly fight Gamos with that kind of power?

Although Bemular is the most wanted criminal in the universe and Gamos is only ranked second, that's just because the Bemular group started earlier and therefore killed more people. Being ranked second does not mean they are weaker.

On the contrary, on the current cosmic wanted list, Gamos is the real powerhouse, a terrifying existence no less powerful than any other alien. Now that things have come to this, how could they possibly stand by and watch another victim emerge?

Nais tried his best to reassure him, "Zero will handle it, leave it to Zero!"

"Give it to that brat?" Zagar gritted his teeth. "My homeland, my wife and children, so many years of hatred, and you want me to hand it over to that brat? Why should I! That brat will only watch this opportunity slip away. Let me go, let me go! At least I'll still have a chance!"

This agonizing struggle sent a shiver down Zero's spine from afar.

Kasa lowered his eyelids, gently patted his disciple's shoulder, and sighed, "Do you see, Zero? This is the responsibility we have to bear. Think about it. With your previous mindset, do you think you can live up to the expectations of Zagal and the other victims?"

Gamos the Cobra, from the TV series ADI, first fought Zagal one-on-one, which depleted some of his strength. Then he faced the combined attack of ADI and the Earth Defense Force UGM, and he truly withstood ADI's fatal attack. In a counterattack, he brought ADI to the brink of death.

If Zagal hadn't told Eddie about Gamos's weakness, the invincible Eddie would not only have suffered his first defeat, but would have even been killed in battle, and Earth would have fallen into Gamos's hands.

This is a truly terrifying monster. Before this, even with the power of the Land of Light, only Kassadin, Zoffy, and Max could guarantee that they could defeat this terrifying cosmic monster in a one-on-one encounter.

If it were any other Ultra Warrior, without knowing the opponent's weaknesses, even the Ultra Brothers would need to team up to defeat them.

And now, this is the last opponent his disciple will face.

After a moment's pause, Serro's eyes hardened with unwavering resolve, gleaming with a radiant determination. He didn't answer whether he could live up to expectations, but instead asked with unwavering conviction, "What should I do?"

He understood, he finally understood.

Carelessness, arrogance, complacency, and blindly engaging in battle without seeking information about the enemy—these are all factors that truly hinder his progress. Fighting with that kind of mentality is undoubtedly tarnishing the name of the Land of Light and the Ultra Warriors.
