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

This boy is definitely not simple!!

but………

Looking up at the busy AIB staff around him, Zena shook his head.

Now is not the time to investigate this. Firstly, Reggart is still around, and it would be foolish to pry into the matter at this time.

Secondly, Aib is also very busy. No matter what Regard wants to do, at least given his reputation, he certainly won't harm Earth. In that case, it's better to finish the official business at hand as soon as possible.

The Galactron brought by Gilbaris previously caused chaos on Earth for quite some time, and the AIB is still busy with that now. Why bother trying to investigate Regard's intentions at this point? It's a thankless and arduous task.

Having silently made a mental note of Asakura Riku, Zena continued with his work. As a rare workaholic among the Shadians, he had to work even harder.

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

Oh dear, happy birthday to Xiao Lu in the story! It suddenly reminded me, my birthday is in a couple of days too…

But let's talk about that on my actual birthday. By the way, I celebrate my birthday according to the lunar calendar. What do you celebrate?

Chapter 625 Delivery of Red Steel

After the dinner, Aizaki Moa helped the Asakura couple clean up the table and tidy up downstairs, while Shirazuki took Asakura Riku out for a walk.

Turning to look at Asakura Riku, Bai Yue asked.

How does it feel to be an adult?

Asakura Riku smiled shyly, scratched his head, and said.

"If I had to put it into words, it still doesn't feel real. I used to think adults were so amazing, but now that I think about it, being an adult doesn't seem like that at all..."

Bai Yue smiled slightly.

"That's true. Actually, when I came of age, I felt similarly to you. It felt like that period of time passed in the blink of an eye. It didn't feel real, and it didn't change my life much."

"If I had to say something... it's pretty good that the anti-addiction measures for games have been lifted. I can finally link my ID card when playing Honor of Kings."

Hearing Bai Yue's words, Chao Canglu blinked and couldn't help but ask.

"Um... does the Land of Light also have anti-addiction measures?"

Bai Yue looked at Asakura Riku and suddenly seemed to realize something.

"Oh, I remember now. You don't seem to know that I'm not an Ultraman born in the Land of Light. To be precise, before becoming an Ultraman, I was just an ordinary human."

Asakura Riku looked at Bai Yue in surprise.

"Do you mean you evolved from a human into an Ultra Warrior?"

Bai Yue smiled slightly and spoke.

"To be precise, you and I are actually very similar. We are both orphans on Earth, except that I entrusted you to the Asakura couple, while I grew up in an orphanage."

Asakura Riku and Hakugetsu walked to the riverbank together, sat down cross-legged, and he asked curiously.

"So, how did you spend your time on Earth?"

Bai Yue also sat down, hugging her knees, and began to speak as if reminiscing.

"I grew up in a country on the other side of the ocean in another universe, which is very close to Japan. To be honest, after all, we are both Earth. Apart from the people living on them, there is probably not much difference between the two Earths."

"However, the biggest difference is that there are no monsters or Ultra Warriors active on my Earth. They are like the Flash Hero here, existing only on the screen."

"That country has a pretty good welfare system. Although I'm an orphan, I still managed to finish high school and university. I also celebrated my coming-of-age ceremony alone. Oh, by the way, in that country, you become an adult at 18."

As he listened, Asakura Riku finally spoke up and asked a question.

"So that means you've always lived alone?"

Bai Yue nodded.

"Indeed, most of the friends I've made since childhood have lost touch after the end of the school term. After finishing high school and college, I naturally started working. Since I'm an orphan and don't have any relatives, if I had to say, I've really been living alone."

After listening, Asakura Riku said with emotion.

"It must be very hard. Being alone all the time must be very lonely."

Bai Yue waved her hand.

"I'm used to the hardships and loneliness. After graduation, because I like reading novels, I tried writing them. At least I found a job that can support me."

Asakura Riku listened, becoming increasingly engrossed, and he couldn't wait to ask a question.

"So how did you become an Ultra Warrior?"

Bai Yue smiled slightly, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes. He raised his hand to summon the Ultimate Fighting Device, looked at Bruton who was quietly waiting inside the device, and spoke.

"I thought my life would just continue in this ordinary way until I met it."

Asakura Riku looked at Bruton and said uncertainly.

"Monsters? But didn't you say there were no monsters there?"

Bai Yue smiled slightly.

"Yes, I shouldn't have encountered the monster, but fate is just so coincidental."

"This monster's scientific name is the Four-Dimensional Monster Bruton. It has the ability to travel through time and dimensions. At that time, it was being chased by the Reionics power released by Reiblood. In its panic, it broke through the dimensional barrier and came into contact with my world during its escape, sucking me into the spacetime rift."

"By sheer chance, I became the host of the Reonic Force and forcibly took Bruton as my starter monster. Looking back now, it was really unlucky back then. It just wanted to run away, but ended up finding itself a boss."

Inside the fighting device, Bruton heard Bai Yue's words and jumped out on his own initiative. Just like he had been Bai Yue's hand warmer countless times before, he jumped directly into Bai Yue's arms and rubbed his face against him.

"You say you don't regret finding me? Then I'm truly honored."

Upon hearing Bruton's words, Bai Yue smiled happily. He stroked Bruton in his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"For me, Bruton is one of my most important partners. It is because of its existence that I can show my skills in the world of Ultra Warriors instead of sinking into a daze in human society."

"Bruton was the light that broke through my numbness and was the guide to my new life. It was with Bruton's help that I was able to become an Ultra Warrior."

As if sensing Bai Yue's gratitude, Bruton leaped onto Bai Yue's shoulder and stretched out its tentacles to stroke Bai Yue's face, as if comforting her not to feel too much psychological pressure.

Asakura Riku watched Bruton and Baiyue's interaction with emotion, and he spoke excitedly.

"Then I should thank Bruton properly. If it weren't for Bruton, there probably wouldn't be the current Baiyue brother, nor would there be Ultraman Regard. I probably wouldn't have a mom and dad either, and might have been directly devoured by Belial."

"Thinking about it carefully, the significance of Brother Baiyue to me is probably the same as the significance of Bruton to Brother Baiyue!!"

Upon hearing Asakura Riku's summary, Bai Yue smiled and patted his head.

"As expected of a top student from the University of Tokyo, he really knows how to grasp the key points."

Under the cover of night, Bai Yue chatted with Asakura Riku about his past adventures, listening to his occasional exclamations of surprise, while holding Bruton and admiring the starry sky. Before they knew it, it was past 11 p.m.

"Speaking of which, I haven't given you a birthday present yet, have I?"

Bai Yue turned to look at Asakura Riku and smiled slightly.

"This is definitely a huge surprise!!"

Asakura Riku looked at Baiyue expectantly, but Baiyue kept him in suspense.

What do you think I would give you?

Asakura Riku calmed down and thought carefully, then slowly guessed.

"Is it the complete Flashman collection?"

Bai Yue shook her head.

"This is too simple, Xiao Lu. You need to have some ambition."

Asakura Riku gritted his teeth and decided to guess the biggest possibility.

"Is that a new capsule developed by the Land of Light?"

This was the biggest surprise he could imagine, after all, the capsules from the Land of Light were extremely precious.

It was only after reading Belial's memories that he realized that if it weren't for Tregear, Belial probably wouldn't have been able to obtain the complete capsule by now.

Bai Yue shook her head again, revealing the answer.

"It's very similar to a capsule, but it's not a capsule; it's something else that can enhance your combat power."

With his right hand outstretched, the crimson steel appeared in Bai Yue's hand. As Jie De looked at the long staff encased in stone, he felt his heart pound involuntarily.

He vaguely sensed that the capsule representing Geed's original form within his body seemed to resonate with this long staff, and he couldn't help but ask.

"What...what is this?"

Bai Yue raised her hand and pointed, and the information about the Red Steel flooded into Asakura Riku's mind. He opened his eyes and suddenly realized.

"So this is a treasure from that tour guide's planet? Can...can I really accept it?"

Bai Yue smiled slightly, handed the red steel to him, and said encouragingly.

"This is what Miss Airu would like to see. If you really don't want to disappoint her, then make good use of this power to maintain peace in the universe!!"

Asakura Riku gritted his teeth, mustered his courage, and took the red steel. The moment the red steel was in Asakura Riku's hand, the outer stone shell suddenly shattered, revealing the true form inside.

The ultimate ascendant, Crimson Steel, has reappeared!

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

Chapter 626 Taking an Apprentice

Regard left, taking X with him as they departed from this Earth.

When Bai Yue saw that Asakura Riku had successfully unsealed the Ultimate Ascension Device, she knew that she had accomplished what she needed to do.

The next thing to do is simply wait for the next monster to appear and let Asakura Riku test the power of the Ultimate Riser.

But he's still very busy and can't stay on this planet for too long.

The Belial Empire's army, as well as the Galactrons that Gilbaris had previously sent out, all required his attention. Therefore, after celebrating Asakura Riku's birthday, Regard left Earth with X, and then sent X back to his universe.

Asakura Riku raised his head, looked up in the direction Reggart had left, and let out a long breath.

"Brother Baiyue... I will definitely not let you down!!"

After celebrating Riku Asakura's birthday, Aizaki Moa returned to work at aib. As soon as she got back to her post, Zena gave her a task.

"Aizaki Moe, tell me everything you know about Asakura Riku."
