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

"That seems to make sense."

The two walked and talked, and just as their attention was diverted, a hand suddenly landed on Xiao Lu's shoulder and pressed him down heavily.

"Stop right there! You're acting all sneaky, looking around furtively, and you're even hiding your head in the sand. You're carrying something you stole, aren't you?!"

Startled by the pressure, Asakura Riku quickly turned around and explained.

"No, no, I'm going to put this in... Sister Mengya?!"

Standing behind Asakura Riku was Aizaki Moa, who was smiling at him.

"Xiao Lu, what are you doing sneaking around like that? Don't tell me you're actually stealing something."

Asakura Rikudai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't scare me, Sister Mengya..."

Aizaki Moa looked at the sign in Asakura Riku's hand and read out the words on it word by word.

“Xing...Yun...Zhuang? This looks like an advertisement for a shopping mall…”

Asakura Riku quickly offered his explanation.

"It's not a billboard, it's just... just..."

Asakura Riku stammered, unsure of what to say. He didn't want to reveal the base and Geed's identity to Moe-chan, which was also Rem's advice.

Aizaki Moa found Asakura Riku's behavior even more suspicious.

"Xiao Lu, lying is wrong, you know..."

The two were still maneuvering around, completely unaware that a pair of eyes were watching them from nearby.

Within the dark alternate dimension that overlapped with this space, Torregia stared at Asakura Riku with great interest.

"Oh...this is...Belial's failed clone? Interesting, so he's the one who started the recent rumors..."

Between the multiverses, there are stargates connecting different universes. With the help of these stargates, people and supplies can travel between different universes.

As expected, Geed's news was transmitted to other universes through the Stargate. Coincidentally, Tregear, who was a wanderer who traveled between universes, heard about Belial's plan to take action against Earth in a certain universe.

This greatly intrigued him, since even he, who was cooperating with Belial, was unaware of this plan. So who exactly was using Belial's name to cause trouble?

To his surprise, he encountered the clone that Belial had failed to clone back then in this different universe.

Things are starting to get interesting...

Chapter 589 Xingyun Manor

In the park, Asakura Riku and Aizaki Moa were still struggling. Faced with Asakura Riku's evasiveness, Aizaki Moa had already guessed that he had some unspeakable secret.

but………

Seeing Asakura Riku's troubled expression, Aizaki Moa became somewhat excited. After successfully getting Asakura Riku to promise to go out with her next time, she was satisfied and let him go.

Having dealt with Aizaki Moe, Asakura Riku finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Just then, Pega, who was in the shadows, also sent a message.

"Xiao Lu, we've found a hidden spot. Come with me."

Asakura Riku quickly followed, while Tregear in the dark space watched him with great interest.

"Interesting, that human girl... is she his friend? Belial's clone actually has friends, I really want to see Belial's expression right now..."

Given Belial's current status as a public enemy of the universe, the fact that his clone has friends is quite novel to Tregear. He continues to follow Asakura Riku with his gaze, wanting to satisfy his curiosity.

Riku Asakura arrived at a secluded spot, summoned the elevator leading to the underground base, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then stepped inside with peace of mind.

Although Riku Asakura had gone underground, the mere surface level was clearly no obstacle to Tregear's gaze. His eyes followed Riku Asakura into the base, and Tregear's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Huh? This is... a rescue ship from Starström?"

The Strum people's Strum organs are very peculiar; they can reverse the properties of phase energy through these organs, turning light into darkness and darkness into light.

Back when Star Strom was still intact, Tregear had visited it before. However, for him, there was no need to use the Strom organ to plunge Taro into darkness, so he stayed there for a while and then left.

…Incidentally, he also gave some minor “advice” to the leader of Strum, who was going through a period of confusion in his life. Not long after Tregear left, he heard that Strum had fallen into war and was eventually destroyed.

As for whether it has anything to do with Torregia, it's hard to guess... Anyway, he definitely won't admit it.

That's why Torregia recognized it at a glance: the base was actually a spaceship, and its design was exactly that of a rescue and medical spaceship from Starstruck.

As is well known, the last Strom people live on the Yongming Starfield where Regate resides. The sudden appearance of a Strom medical ship on Earth, a desolate place, makes one wonder about Regate's relationship with this planet.

Touching his chin, Toregia's smile deepened.

“Interesting…interesting…I heard from that Mefilas alien that the clone was lost after being discovered by Regard during an attack on another universe, and even the Mefilas alien himself had to flee in panic.”

"I originally thought that Reggart would definitely destroy the clone that attacked another civilization, but it seems... he has settled this clone on Earth and even prepared a spaceship for it..."

With his intelligence and the existing intelligence, Torregia quickly deduced the general outline of the incident. He immediately realized that the existence of the Strum rescue ship and Asakura Riku must be linked to Regart.

"What a kind Ultra Warrior... He's even willing to give an enemy clone a chance to grow up freely on Earth. It seems... Belial's clone even has friends, and he seems to be doing quite well..."

Toregia spoke in an ambiguous tone, which, though seemingly a compliment to Regat, could not conceal the chill in his voice.

Inside the base, Asakura Riku planted the sign that read "Nebula Manor" at the entrance, looked around at the household items he had brought over the past two days, and the bed that had already been made, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, that's more like a living base. From now on, this place will be called Nebula Manor!!"

Lyme watched this scene from the wall and calmly broadcast the report.

"Received. Nebula Manor has been entered into the database and will become one of the base's code names."

Peja stood up from the shadows, looked at the base that was now full of life, scratched her head, and said in confusion.

"Xiao Lu, do you want to move out of your house?"

Asakura Riku quickly shook his head.

"No, who told you I was going to move out?"

Peja was even more puzzled.

"Then why did you set up this base so nicely?"

Asakura Riku smiled slightly and said.

"If monsters appear again in the future, we will definitely need to come to this base to carefully observe the characteristics of the monsters, or retrieve the data from the base, right?"

Pei Jia nodded, and Asakura Riku continued.

"So, after the battle, I can't go home covered in wounds, covered in dirt, and exhausted, right? My parents will definitely ask me what happened, and it wouldn't be good if they found out."

Peja nodded.

"really."

"Asakura Riku said excitedly."

"Then, let's set up the base nicely, prepare a place to sleep, and get some Flashman magazines and snacks. That way, we can stay in the base most of the time, and we can attack anytime we encounter a monster."

"Then after we defeat the monster, we can rest well at the base and recharge before going home. Then we won't have to worry about our parents!"

Lem then added at the opportune moment.

“That’s right. In addition, Nebula Manor is equipped with Strom’s healing equipment, which can help to quickly recover from post-battle injuries.”

Pei-Chia suddenly realized.

"That's great! It seems we don't have to worry about getting injured after fighting the monster!"

Looking at the harmonious scene inside Nebula Manor, Torregia sighed.

"So sunny, able to find joy in life, full of love for the world, he's really unlike you, Belial..."

After learning what Asakura Riku was doing, a thought suddenly popped into Torregia's mind. He gave Asakura Riku a cold look, then turned and disappeared into the dark space.

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

On a desolate and unknown planet, a giant with a black and red body stands tall. Its scythe-like blood-red eyes and the deep purple timer on its chest clearly identify it as a giant.

It was Beria who was hiding and fleeing during this period!

At this moment, two capsules were floating in his hand. Looking at the monster patterns on them, Belial spoke softly.

"In that case... let's begin the experiment."

Without the flattery of the Dark Five Heavenly Kings around him, Belial's resentment towards the Land of Light grew stronger. He raised his hand and activated two capsules instantly.

"The Five Emperors!!"

The phantom of the five combined monsters appeared beside Belial.

"Zog Second Form!!"

A gigantic monster phantom, resembling a Western dragon and covered in seven-colored scales, which had appeared in the Gaia world before, also appeared beside Belial.

"Demon Fusion - Unleash!!"

Two phantom figures transformed into streams of light and disappeared into Belial's ferocious maw. Within this deep purple light and shadow, a complex and unpleasant beastly roar resounded.

"Chimera Bellos!!"

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

Wow, I've already written 10 chapters about Xiao Lu without even realizing it. Don't worry, the main character will appear in a few more chapters.

Sometimes when I describe other characters, I want everyone to be able to instantly realize the butterfly effect caused by the protagonist's intervention when they see plots that differ from the original work, and to have a sudden realization.

I don't know how well it will be received, but I'd still like to urge you to update... and please give me a reward.

Chapter 590 Belial's Past

The reddish-purple light dissipated, revealing a ferocious and terrifying behemoth.

It has two large, bat-like wings on its back, and its leg muscles are covered with shimmering, iridescent scales. Its chest is adorned with the unique pattern of Belial Fusion Beast and Belial's timer, while its head retains the exact appearance of Belial's head.

"Roar!!"

The roars of the Five Emperors and Zog's second form rang out simultaneously, and Belial, feeling his own power, let out a long howl to the sky.

"Hmph, while it can't compare to Arc Belial's capsule, it's barely enough to be used in conjunction with Extreme Belial..."

Belial glanced at the planet beneath his feet, and red and black lightning flashed from his mouth. With a burst of power from his massive maw, a thick beam of red and black light blasted straight into the earth.
