Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods.

Upon hearing that he would be becoming the captain, Belial's first reaction was not excitement, but fear and shame; he felt he was completely unworthy.

How can someone with a serious criminal record serve as the captain of the Land of Light's security force?

Wouldn't that be encouraging immature children and adults to imitate your behavior?

“No, I can’t be the captain.” Belial shook his head, his thoughts complicated, completely led by Ken.

However, Ken turned to look into Belial's eyes and said earnestly, "Belial, you are no longer an exiled criminal, you are a hero."

"The warriors will not acknowledge you because of a few words from the king. What truly makes them acknowledge you is your act of protecting a civilization and risking your life to save others in war."

“Beria, do you know? In the eyes of the warriors, you are a true hero, not a banished prisoner, do you understand?”

Jian stood before the prison, his hands gripping Beria's shoulders tightly, his eyes fervent, his tone filled with joy at his friend's change of heart and sincere blessings.

“Ken…” Belial came to his senses, looked into Ken’s eyes, and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

"What are you two doing?!"

An angry voice rang out, attracting their attention. They instinctively turned to look and saw Mary casting a look of surprise and anger at them, her hands clenched tightly.

“Mary?”

"What's wrong?" The two were puzzled, wondering what was wrong with Mary.

Mary: "..."

"It's nothing, come with me, but be prepared." In the end, Mary sighed, shook her head helplessly, and turned to walk away.

"??"

Belial and Ken followed behind her, their confident voices ringing out, "In that case, I'll take the position of vice-captain. I won't have any more stains on my record."

Jian nodded with a look of trust, but Mary suddenly trembled and stumbled, almost falling flat on her face.

"What's wrong, Mary?"

"N-nothing...it's nothing," Mary forced a smile.

Beria and Ken, unaware of anything amiss, continued their conversation.

“Speaking of which, should we make Zoffy the second vice-captain? If that’s the case, why not include Gorian as well? Although it’s been a long time, I still have a vivid memory of how he beat you up,” Belial said.

Jian shook his head. "We've talked about it, but Gao Lai'an isn't interested. He said he has nothing to be proud of except for his martial prowess."

"Therefore, he has no intention of taking the position; he plans to change careers and temporarily work as a planetary observer."

Belial was surprised: "Huh? An office job? Someone as strong as him is planning to take an office job?"

Jian nodded. "Yes, he and Seven both have this idea. Now that the universe is at peace, they plan to withdraw from the front lines of battle."

“What a waste,” Belial muttered, thinking he had to persuade Gorian and Seven to come back.

"Someone with combat skills comparable to mine should at least stay on as an instructor..."

As he thought this, he stepped through the door. The people he had just talked with, including Gao Lian, Seven Zoffy, and others, were all there, staring at a certain spot without saying a word.

In other locations, Ultraman, Jack, Taro, and others fell into a kind of silence.

“Belial.” Zoffy turned to look at Belial first, forcing a smile. “Welcome back.”

"Zoffy, you've really made something of yourself..." Belial teased, looking at the planetary emblems on Zoffy's chest and shoulders. "You've even got a star symbol now."

Upon hearing this, Zoffy wanted to respond, but couldn't find the words to say.

"... "

Seeing this, Belial and Ken looked around and finally realized that something was wrong. They then focused their attention on the direction in which the crowd was gathered.

He felt a little confused, but he took a step forward and no one stopped him.

As Belial approached, a small device, about the size of a human house, appeared before him, containing several human-sized figures imprisoned inside.

As his gaze fell, another pair of eyes met, and they saw the astonishment and shock in each other's eyes.

"You are…"

"I?!"

Both of them were stunned at the same time, and even Jian, who had been informed in advance, understood why everyone was silent.

Belial, in his giant form, sensed the intense darkness emanating from the human boy. His vision went black, and he finally understood why Mary had nearly fallen after hearing his words.

"Oh? So I haven't fallen in this universe? That's amazing..." Belial, now in his youthful form, snapped out of his daze and burst into unrestrained laughter.

Upon hearing this, Belial, in his giant form, went almost blank in his mind and instinctively raised his hands, assuming a posture to fire beams.

Upon seeing this, Gao Lian, Zoffy, Jian, and the others immediately stepped forward and pressed his hand down.

"Calm down, Belial!"

"Don't be impulsive!"

Belial was utterly distraught. "How am I supposed to stay calm? I have to kill him."

"Calm down, that's not you, it's you from another universe, and you died once, you're not the complete Belial," Zoffy quickly reassured him.

In the end, Gorean subdued Belial, his immense strength gripping Belial's hands, the excruciating pain finally calming Belial down.

“That’s enough, Gorian.” Belial tried to calm himself down and nodded to Gorian. “Your power is even more terrifying than before.”

“I’m glad you still remember me,” Gao Lian replied in a deep voice. “But I hope you don’t remember the accidental punch I threw at you.”

"... "

Belial, regaining his senses under the immense force, did not answer. He shook off the hand that felt like it had been severed after being held for only a second, and looked at the other Belial.

However, this time, everyone noticed a little girl leaning against the young Belial, looking at the white Belial with a mixture of fear and curiosity.

She looked at White Belial and whispered to the young Belial, "Is this what you used to look like? His face looks so fierce..."

Young Belial nodded and replied nonchalantly, "It was indeed me before I was possessed by Reiblood, but I think I'm fiercer now."

"... "

Everyone looked at Lily leaning against young Belial and took two steps back, wondering if they were seeing things.

"This kind of relationship... really?"

Gorian and Zoffy exchanged a glance, both sensing something was wrong, and stood behind Belial, ready to stop him at any moment.

Beria looked at the girl, who was about the same age as his son, and his mind went almost blank. His hands and feet were ice-cold, and he couldn't help but tremble.

However, given that an alien's age cannot be determined from their appearance, he still held onto a sliver of hope.

"How...how old are you?" Belial finally asked the question, his voice trembling slightly.

Mary, who already knew everything, turned her head and covered her face, while Hikari looked down at the data panel in her hand, pretending to be very busy.

The next second, Lily responded.

"16 is old."

White Belial: "..."

All the Ultra Warriors: "??"

“Beria, you… how dare you?” Ken’s eyes widened; he hadn’t received this message.

But he quickly realized there was something wrong with his words and immediately corrected himself: "No, it's Dark Belial! This child is only a teenager!"

Suddenly, he realized something was wrong again. Why wasn't Belial reacting this time?

The next second, he got his answer: terrified screams echoed throughout the prison.

"Beria?"

"Belial! What's wrong with you?!"

"Quickly call the Silver Cross! Belial has fainted!!" Taro shouted in terror.

The unconscious Belial whispered peacefully, "Ken, lock me up in the space prison."

...

Meanwhile, on a planet outside the Milky Way.

Looking at the photo of himself and his father in his hand, Xiao Lu imagined the scene of his father coming back and going to the amusement park with him, and a happy smile appeared on his lips.

"Dong dong dong..."

A knocking sound suddenly rang out on the door.

Xiao Lu got up and opened the door. The silver-haired old man came into view, a kind smile on his face. He seemed to have known Xiao Lu for a long time and said naturally, "Hello, Xiao Lu."

"Can you tell me about your father?"

Chapter 167 The Post-Primitive Era

Asia, the banks of the Yellow River.

Titan-Xiangliu dwells in a section of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, its body submerged by tens of meters of water, with yellowish river sand covering its dense scales that gleam with a metallic luster.

Nine heads, resembling dragons and snakes, hung naturally at the bottom of the river, their eyes closed, as if they were fast asleep.

Many winters have passed since Alpha Nature left again.

Xiang Liu has returned to his usual routine of waking up, going out for a walk, and then returning to the Yellow River to continue sleeping.

This life, where it doesn't have to go out to fight or have nightmares about snakes, and only needs to occasionally get up to tend to the water veins, makes it feel very comfortable.

"Thump...thump...thump"

A noisy drumming sound rang out on the riverbank, causing Xiang Liu to instinctively open his eighteen snake eyes and look towards the riverbank. The thermal imaging penetrated the cold river water, taking in everything that was happening on the riverbank.

A dense array of humans stood on the riverbank, surrounded by objects that Xiang Liu did not recognize.

Xiang Liu thought that this might be a sacrifice made by humans against themselves, so he raised his nine long necks, and the cold river water swirled and churned under his stirring.

Xiangliu emerged from the Yellow River, displaying its graceful yet powerful body to the crowd.

However, just as Xiangliu cast his gaze down, he discovered that things were not quite as he had imagined.

The densely packed crowd adopted hunting stances, wielding weapons made from the bones of various strange beasts, casting bloodthirsty glances at the Titan, their intentions self-evident.

"Warriors! The evil god that has long caused the river's floods and eroded our city is right before us. Let this evil god see our courage and slay it here!!"
