Ultraman: He captures EyeQ at the start, a righteous and fun-loving man.

Zero suddenly realized that his uncles, aunts, and the captain had all been turned into puppets. Wouldn't the Land of Light be left defenseless? What if some aliens wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the Land of Light?

Thinking of this, Zero, despite his physical exhaustion, summoned his ultimate armor. He gently stroked the armor and said...

"Please, Ultimate Armor, I need to get back to the Land of Light as soon as possible. If everything is alright there, I'll replenish your energy as quickly as possible."

Zero's voice was full of apology, after all, he had just expended so much energy, and the Ultimate Armor was now looking dull and lifeless. However, Zero had no choice; he had reasons to go back.

Another spatial passage opened, and Zero rushed in without looking back, eager to ascertain the current situation of the Land of Light.

............................................................

On the outskirts of the Land of Light, a golden spatial portal unfolded, and Zero's figure rushed out from it. This quickly alerted the patrolling warriors, who surrounded him, only to find that the person in front of them was very familiar.

"It's Zero! You're back!!"

The patrolling Ultra Warriors recognized the person in front of them at a glance. After all, he was also a combat hero of the Land of Light. Zero put away his ultimate armor and breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the patrolling warriors in front of him.

"Thank goodness, is the Land of Light alright? And what day is it today?"

Hearing Zero's question, the patrolling Ultra Warrior was a little confused and asked.

"Don't worry, Zero, the Land of Light is fine under the captain's leadership. And as for the date, today is..."

Zero breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the numbers reported by the patrolling Ultra Warriors.

Fortunately, although it was a day late, it only took me two days to travel to the future, but at least I didn't make any mistakes.

Suddenly, Zero paused, then looked at the patrolling Ultra Warriors.

"The captain? Wasn't the captain turned into a puppet? Has he come back?"

Seeing Zero's completely bewildered expression, the patrolling Ultra Warrior quickly explained.

"It's Captain Regard. Since the previous captains and the Ultra Brothers were sealed away, the King appointed Regard to temporarily assume the position of captain and lead the Land of Light."

Zero felt like his mind was about to stop working. Had he really only traveled to two days in the future? Or had he traveled to 20000 years in the future?

"Regart wasn't sealed away? That's great... Wait, how did Regart suddenly become a captain?!"

Just as Zero was questioning his existence, Regard, who had received the report, appeared beside Zero from inside the Land of Light. He gave a shushing gesture to the patrolling Ultra Warriors opposite him, signaling them to keep quiet.

Snapped! !

A slap suddenly landed on Zero's shoulder, startling him so much that his body trembled violently and he almost jumped up.

"Whoa!! Who?!"

Zero turned his head sharply and saw a familiar face smiling at him, and the slap on his shoulder was obviously from that person.

"Regat!! You're really alright?!"

Zero said in surprise, and Reggart was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"What, you'll only be happy if something happens to me!"

"No no no..."

Zero was caught off guard and was momentarily speechless. After a while, he recovered and asked Reggart.

"Oh, anyway, that's not what I meant. Also, how did you get out of that space? What happened to the puppets that Dad and the others turned into?"

Seeing Zero's anxiety, Reggart expressed his understanding. He first arranged for the patrolling Ultra Warriors to continue their work, and then flew with Zero to the captain's office in the Land of Light, where he spoke to him.

"Don't rush, we'll tackle the problems one at a time."

The abundant light energy within the Land of Light immediately restored the red light on Zero's chest to its azure blue, calming his emotions. After catching his breath, he spoke.

"What happened to the battlefield after I left?"

"Regat replied."

"An Ultra Warrior from the future saved me and I fought against Dark Lugiel."

Upon hearing this, Zero asked anxiously.

"What about my dad's and the captain's puppets? Are they going to stay in that state forever?"

Reggart comforted her.

"Relax, that Ultraman warrior from the future has the ability to undo the dolls of sealed life. It's just that because that place connects to different universes, all sorts of dolls have flowed into other universes and can no longer be found."

"But you don't need to worry too much. That Ultraman is an archenemy of Dark Lugiel, and according to the information I have, he will definitely be able to defeat Dark Lugiel. Once Dark Lugiel is defeated, the humanization of all life forms will be undone, and then your dad and the others will come back."

Reggart's words relieved Zero. Reggart's intelligence accuracy had always been beyond doubt. Since he said so, then his father would probably return sooner or later.

Chapter 414 Heading to the Monster Graveyard

After learning that his father and the others were alright, Zero was relieved. Seeing that he had calmed down, Reggart dropped another bombshell.

“I went to your base before and found that Iron 9 and the others have disappeared. If I’m not mistaken, they should have participated in that war in Esmeralda’s universe and are probably in puppet form now.”

"ah?!!"

Zero stared at Reggart in disbelief. What was going on? His uncles and aunts in the Land of Light had become puppets, and his comrades in the Ultimate Zero Guard, except for himself, had all become puppets. How did he suddenly become all alone?

However, once he came to his senses, he found that he was not surprised at all.

"Well, I'm not surprised at all that the Flame Warriors and their gang got involved in this war. They're not the kind of people who would just stand by and do nothing..."

Zero said with emotion, and Reggart patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"It's alright, they'll be back sooner or later. After all, they're your companions!"

"Um!!"

Zero nodded heavily, believing that there was no need to say more about being a comrade, and stood up.

"However, there are still many remnants of Belial in the universe. Without the help of the Ultimate Zero Guard, it looks like I'll be busy for a while."

Seeing his travel-worn appearance, Regard couldn't help but sigh.

"Sometimes I really feel like there's some kind of fateful entanglement between you and Belial. Ever since you met him, I feel like you haven't had a single peaceful day..."

With his elders and companions all turned into puppets, Zero didn't even have time to rest. He also had to deal with the mess left by Belial, and even Regard couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Zero smiled nonchalantly and said.

"Hehe... Don't underestimate me. No matter how powerful Belial is, he will eventually be wiped out. I don't believe he can pester me forever."

Seeing Zero making wild promises here, Regard was at a loss for words for a moment. Only Bruton inside the Battle Nylon was diligently recording this scene.

"Alright, I hope so..."

After showing off, Zero couldn't help but hold his waist and say something.

"Ouch... Regard, hurry up and heal me again. That guy, what's his name... Dark Lugiel, is really strong. That kick still makes my back ache."

Seeing Zero's power crumble instantly, Regard couldn't help but chuckle. He used the power of the Cosmic Beast to cover Zero's body with cyan-gold flames, and in no time, Zero regained his vitality.

"Alright, this young master is ready to set off again!!"

Just as Zero was feeling triumphant, Reggart's somber words poured cold water on him.

"You're overthinking it. You still have a lot to do in the Land of Light."

"Eh?"

Zero didn't understand what Reggart meant for a moment, but he suddenly spoke up.

"Ultraman Zero, I now command you as the captain!!"

"Yes!!"

Zero instinctively stood at attention in front of Regard, and Regard chuckled inwardly at Zero's awkward appearance.

Fortunately, Eddie had given Zero some extra lessons beforehand, otherwise he would probably be standing there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

After standing at attention, Zero realized that the person in front of him was not Father of Ultra but Reggart. He relaxed and complained.

"Regat, why did you suddenly scare me like that..."

Regard coughed slightly.

"Listen up, this is the office. In public, you must address the captain!"

Zero scratched his head and reluctantly called out.

"Understood, Captain..."

Seeing his hesitant and awkward manner, Regard stopped teasing him and spoke up.

"Of all the people from the Land of Light who went to war, only you and I have returned. During this time, remember to show your face in the Land of Light more often to reassure the people and the army."

"In addition, you've been engaged in numerous large-scale battles lately, and you've also been busy cleaning up Belial's remnants. It's a good opportunity for you to stay in the Land of Light and get a check-up so you don't develop any health problems."

Zero sighed helplessly and responded weakly.

"Sigh... Don't bother me with this kind of thing. You're back now, and I trust your healing abilities. My body will definitely be fine..."

Regart's tone suddenly became stern.

"No, I'm not saying you have to show your face in the Land of Light, but at least you need to have some time to rest and relax your tense nerves. If this continues, one day the string in your head will snap, and the Land of Light will probably have a second Belial."

Zero was startled by Reggart's tone and stammered.

"Isn't this... a bit too much?"

"Regate said without any room for argument."

"Alright, it's settled then. Get some rest, and remember to talk to Zeta and Taiga. One of them is your half-disciple, and the other is your brother. Their fathers were sealed away in the war, so they must be feeling quite lost."

Zero touched his headband and said helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I got it."

Seeing his grumbling expression, Reggart kicked him out and sent him home to rest.

............................................................

After driving Zero away, Regard suddenly remembered something else, raised the Battle Nergist, and summoned Bemstar from within.

The golden light transformed into the shape of a giant bird. Regard walked up to it, compared their heights, and exclaimed in amazement.

"Looks like you've been having a good time lately, you're almost 80 meters tall now. Looks like it's time to evolve you."

Bemstar's enormous size is due to absorbing too much energy during this period, but its physique is not as good as other monsters, so it cannot digest the accumulated energy, resulting in an abnormally large body.
