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

"That's right."

Hikari's voice came over as he walked over to Regard and smiled as he encouraged Fukui.

“Mr. K, there’s no need to belittle yourself. I felt much more at ease with your assistance during the previous experiment with the Ultra Capsules.”

"I heard that Regate has assigned you to be my research assistant again. I'm really looking forward to it."

Hearing Reggart and Hikari's encouragement, Fukuide Kei finally raised his head.

"I understand, Lord Regard. Thank you for your encouragement."

Regart instructed Bruton to open his inner space, and immediately, demonic fragments poured out, piling up higher and higher until they formed a small mountain at the entrance of the Science and Technology Bureau.

Regard looked at Hikari and smiled.

"Well, with so many demon fragments, we should have enough research samples now."

Hikari looked at the demon fragments with excitement, nodded, and spoke.

"Hmm, with so many, we should be able to reconstruct Belial's original complete genes."

Hearing Hikari's words, Regard asked.

"How long will it take to produce the gene repair serum?"

Hikari lowered his head and did some calculations, then gave an affirmative answer.

"Two years, I will definitely be able to reconstruct Belial's complete genes within two years."

"Regat asked in surprise."

"With so many fragments, it'll still take two years?"

Hikari gave him a helpless look.

"There's no way around it. The genes in these demon fragments are too fragmented, and each gene segment has its specific location. Finding the original location of each gene segment will likely take two years of experimentation."

Hearing Hikari's words, Reggart could only shake his head helplessly.

There's nothing I can do; I dug this mess myself. It felt good to come up with the plan then, but now restoring the genes is exhausting enough to make me collapse at the crematorium...

Although he wasn't the one who was exhausted, Regard still glanced guiltily at Fukuide Kei, before looking away before the other noticed.

Old K, Old K, given our relationship, you wouldn't scold me, would you?

Chapter 486 Little Lu

"Xiao Lu, don't be sad. After all, you didn't do it on purpose. If you have to blame someone, blame that desk for being so bad!"

Around 2 or 3 p.m., elementary schools in Japan have already let out (although junior high and high schools are also at this time). A little boy and a little girl are walking side by side on the street.

The little boy, nicknamed "Xiao Lu," looked dejected, while on the other side, the little girl was clinging tightly to him, comforting him.

Although they are a boy and a girl, there is a significant age difference between them; the girl is already two heads taller than the boy.

Despite the little girl's attempts to comfort him, Xiao Lu became even more frustrated.

"Sister Mengya, I've heard that phrase since I was little, but if everything I break is defective, then wouldn't I be the unlucky one? Nobody touches only defective things..."

Hearing Asakura Riku's rebuttal, Aizaki Moa looked embarrassed. Her childhood friend's younger brother had always been strong, and because he was young, he couldn't control himself and often broke other people's things.

Every time Riku Asakura broke something, Moa Aizaki would rack her brains to come up with various excuses to comfort him, but the little girl's brain capacity was limited, and she could only come up with a few excuses over and over again.

It might work to fool a kindergartener, but Asakura Riku is already in first grade, and being naturally intelligent, he has long seen through Aizaki Moe's attempt to comfort her.

Today, Riku Asakura accidentally smashed a classmate's desk, leaving a dent, which instantly ignited the emotions of the entire class.

The child's malice was pure yet terrifying, and Asakura Riku was thus branded a monster.

Left with no other choice, Aizaki Moe stiffened her neck, clenched her fist, and said.

"...But they can't call you a monster, can they? If all else fails, I'll beat those little brats up tomorrow. For a dignified sixth-grade big sister like me, beating up these first-graders is too easy!!"

Riku Asakura glanced at Moa Aizaki. He didn't doubt her strength, especially since she had friends in the upper grades. If she really wanted to beat up a kid, no one could stop them for the time being.

but……

"But if I want to beat them up, wouldn't it be faster if I did it myself? I'm strong enough that they couldn't beat me..."

Asakura Riku said somewhat self-deprecatingly, and Aizaki Moe quickly covered his mouth upon hearing this.

"Xiao Lu, you absolutely mustn't let your dad hear you say that, or you'll get a spanking!!"

There's one more thing Aizaki Moya didn't say: if Asakura Riku really went all out and hit someone, he might end up in the ICU. What if her brother gets arrested by the police then?

"Okay, Mengya-jie, I was just saying..."

Asakura Riku's good upbringing prevented him from resorting to violence, as his parents had always taught him to be kind to others. However, this would likely mean he would spend his entire elementary school years surrounded by malice.

Thinking about this future made Riku Asakura sullen. As he and Moa Aizaki walked to the corner, Riku kicked a small pebble.

Due to Asakura Riku's extraordinary strength, the pebble flew high into the air and then landed on the heads of a group of people in front of him.

Snapped! !

"what!!"

The force of the falling stone struck the head of one of the men with dyed yellow hair, and a scream rang out, instantly startling Riku Asakura and Moe Aizaki, who had walked into the alley.

Oh no, I've messed up!

A group of thugs turned around, and the leader, clutching a large bump on his head, roared with displeasure.

"Hey, which bastard ambushed me?!"

With his gaze fixed on Asakura Riku and Aizaki Moe, the thug stepped forward, looked them up and down, and cursed angrily.

"You brat, were you the one who ambushed me?!"

Asakura Riku turned pale with fright. Although he was naturally intelligent, he lacked experience in dealing with such situations. Aizaki Moe felt it was necessary for her to step forward, so she mustered her courage and spoke.

"Yes...we did it. We're sorry, we can compensate you for your medical expenses..."

As they talked, Aizaki Moya started calculating whether she and Riku had enough pocket money.

"Medical expenses? Fine, my health is very precious. 20 yen, take it or leave it!!"

The thug was already in a bad mood, and seeing that he had someone to extort money from, he immediately made an outrageous demand, casually quoting a string of numbers.

Anyway, he didn't think these kids could pay it back. Of course, if there was a 1 in 10000 chance they could pay it back, then the amount would be raised from 20 to 100 million.

"This...this..."

Aizaki Moe stammered, unable to speak. 20 yen was still too much for these children. Seeing this, Asakura Riku mustered his courage and spoke.

"We don't have that much money, and besides, your head injury certainly doesn't cost 20 yen!!"

Upon hearing Asakura Riku's rebuttal, the young man with the ghostly fire behind the gang leader immediately burst into laughter, adding fuel to the fire as if he didn't want the drama to get out of hand.

"Boss, you got looked down on by a kid. Are you suffering from kidney deficiency?!"

The thug was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"You think you're so arrogant, kid?!"

Grabbing Asakura Riku by the collar, the thug tried to lift him up, but his alcohol-fueled body clearly couldn't do it. He stopped exerting force without making a sound and then threatened him.

"But you did something wrong first, kid!! My compensation for emotional distress is part of the 20 yen!!"

Seeing this, Aizaki Moya panicked and desperately pulled on the thug's arm, shouting.

"Let go of Xiao Lu right now!!"

"Ok?"

The gang leader glanced at Aizaki Moa, whose developing body made him lick his lips; clearly, it had struck a chord with some deep-seated fetish.

"No money? Sure, I'll let go of this brat too. Hey little girl, if you just keep us company for a bit, we'll agree to anything you want..."

The thug's gaze swept over Aizaki Moya like a venomous snake, and the precocious little girl clearly realized what he wanted, her face turning pale.

Although Asakura Riku didn't know what the thug meant, his instincts told him that he was no good. He clenched his right fist, his gaze gradually turned fierce, and a faint red light flashed in his eyes.

To protect Moya-nee, even using her own strength...

"Hey, you brats, let go of that child."

A calm voice suddenly came from behind the thugs. They turned around and saw a young man with his hands in his pockets, looking at them coldly.

Chapter 487 Chatting

After leaving the Land of Light, Regard originally wanted to return to Eternal Star. However, part of the reason he had been working so hard was to cure Asakura Riku's genetic defect. Since he had nothing else to do, he came to this world to see Riku.

At the same time, he also learned that the speed difference between this universe and the Land of Light was about 6:1. Six years had passed in this universe, while only about a year had passed in the Land of Light.

Xiao Lu should be in first grade by now.

Although Riku himself doesn't appear like a bright light bulb in the eyes of aliens like other Ultramen due to his genetic defects and Belial, his special aura is still unmistakable under Bai Yue's perception.

Following the special aura, they found their way here, only to find that the crown prince of the Belial Empire was being held hostage by a thug on Earth. It was for this reason that Bai Yue said those words.

"Hey, you brats, let go of that child."

These words naturally attracted the attention of the group of thugs. They looked Bai Yue up and down, and one of the thugs shouted unhappily at his handsome face.

"Hey, who are you, you slick guy?! Don't you know this street is under our protection?!"

Bai Yue ignored them and walked straight toward the thugs who were grabbing Xiao Lu by the collar, as if the other thugs were just air.

"Baka yarou!!"

Enraged by being ignored, the thugs swarmed around Bai Yue, intending to punch and kick her—a tactic they were most skilled at—and attacked in unison.

not good!!

When Xiao Lu saw this, he became anxious. Because he had vented his anger, he had put Meng Ya and himself in danger. Even the stranger who wanted to help him was going to be beaten up?

Just as the red in his eyes grew darker and darker, and even a pair of sickle-shaped phantoms appeared in his eyes, a series of screams suddenly came from the group of thugs.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The thugs who had surrounded Bai Yue were now flying backwards, clutching their twisted limbs and howling in pain.
