Am I the only one in this team who is not Ultraman?

At the same time, the remaining two monsters brought by Zarab also appeared: one with a red head shaped like a seahorse, and the other with a blue head and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

"Targets confirmed: the red flame demon Banila and the blue bubble demon Abras, both of whom appeared in the original Ultraman!"

"It seems Zarab has really put in a lot of hard work to play Ultraman well." Leo looked at Banila and Abras and took out his fighting device. "If he's so eager to play Ultraman, I should have had Zetton take care of him."

"Eleking, are you alright?" Leo looked at Eleking beside him, who was already eager to try.

“I’ve defeated Banilas and Ablas before, Leo, don’t worry.” King Elek’s tail unconsciously wrapped around Leo’s waist, his eyes filled with desire. “But, after you win, can you hug me during dinner today?”

“No problem.” Leo was completely unaware of the seriousness of the issue; after all, Dimaga and Emperor had done the same thing quite often.

With Leo's promise, before Daigo and the others could even find a chance to transform, Eleking rushed out. Banila was dazzled by the light of Eleking's transformation and was knocked away by Eleking's explosive punch.

At the same time, realizing that Director Sawai and the others wanted to escape, a large number of small Daisymania in the sky gathered together, transformed into humanoid forms, and tried to stop them. They used this trick to transform into the director's appearance and forge the video.

However, having witnessed the firepower of Earthlings before, they clearly overlooked one thing: the physical abilities of the people on Earth are also exceptionally strong.

"Serpent Heart Style, Slash!" Wielding the Serpent Heart Sword forged from Pedanium alloy, Serpent Warehouse cleaved a Daisymanian humanoid in two with a single strike. Grandpa Ye Hu followed up with a punch, sending the enemy flying ten meters away.

The most outrageous one was Old Master Fengyuan. He leaped more than ten meters into the air and kicked a Daisymania humanoid directly away. Then, he drew a gun with one hand and clenched his fist with the other to start clearing the road.

In contrast, Chief Yoshioka's fighting style seemed simple, yet every movement of his was clean and efficient, with no unnecessary actions. He never fired an empty gun while moving, and his tactical coordination was outstanding.

With these four people, whose abilities were ridiculously strong in every aspect, they managed to clear a path for Director Sawai and his team, while the first aircraft began strafing the enemy, forcing them to leave.

"The safety of the director and other senior executives has been ensured. Please contact the medical team."

This time, it seems there's no need to even transform. Captain Gendo glanced over and saw that Eleking was completely dominating the three opponents. Banila and Abras were no match for her. Only the largest one, Daisymania, had very strong defense.

With a lash of its tail, it knocked Banilas over; the crescent-shaped beam of light rendered Abras unable to stand. Eleking flashed to the front of Daisymania, electromagnetic power coiling around its hand as it unleashed a punch: "Electric Explosive Fist!"

This punch shattered the powerful outer armor that Daisymania had just transformed, giving her no chance to escape. Eleking then drew an eight-part version of the Eleking Magnetic Blade and slammed it into Daisymania, cutting off her flight horn.

"I feel like Eleking is really high on fighting spirit today." Daigo wiped his sweat. He had never seen Eleking know so many moves before, but considering that Zetton had even learned his Zepelion Ray, it didn't seem so surprising.

"Having such a powerful partner is a good thing, but I wonder who this Lord Nix that Balki mentioned is."

The Lord Nix mentioned by Balki claims to be the owner of the entire solar system, but Earth certainly doesn't agree. Captain Stringman subconsciously thought of Leo's full name, Leo Nix, but upon reflection, it was impossible. Didn't they know who Leo was?

A victory that was not in doubt. Eleking even spent a little more time practicing the moves he had learned. After the battle, he transformed back and rushed into Leo's arms.

He wrapped his arms tightly around Leo's waist, pressing Eleking's ample chest against him, his eyes bright, "Leo, how did I do?"

"That's impressive." Leo rubbed Eleking's head. "Just don't start discharging electricity as soon as you hug me next time, okay? I'm fine, but others can't withstand your 500-volt or higher current."

With current human physical capabilities, the maximum resistance is only about 200 volts of current. Eleking's level is still a bit beyond that.

"I only do this for Leo." King Eleking wagged its tail, its eyes full of expectation. "Can I sleep with Leo tonight?"

“Um, I’m afraid…” Leo originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Eleking’s eyes suddenly look downcast and his tail listless, he couldn’t bring himself to say it. “Okay, fine.”

"Great!" King Elek was overjoyed. Leo told her to return to the combat device for the time being and head towards Director Sawai and the others, as they would be facing the Naga fleet later.

Meanwhile, in the universe, outside the solar system, the Naga vanguard fleet is on its way to Earth, but the news they receive is getting worse and worse.

First, Zarab's plan to gain the trust of Earthlings failed, and then the Desis aliens' plan to control Earth's leadership also failed. Now, the only option is to directly attack and seize Earth. Earthlings are much stronger than the refugees from Lebik said, possibly because they have obtained an ancient legacy.

Yes, the Naga people know about the ancient civilization, and so do the Desis aliens. Thirty million years ago, they also invaded Earth, and were then beaten up by the people of the ancient civilization and a group of Ultramen at the time, and had to flee.

After the ancient civilization perished, they waited until now before daring to return. Earth was not their target; what mattered was the legacy of the ancient civilization and the powerful force sealed on Earth.

With Earth's civilization, it's impossible to fight against the Naga fleet. Once they obtain the legacy of the ancient civilization and the powerful force sealed on Earth, they will seek revenge against the Pedan aliens!

As for cooperation? Of course, it's only temporary. The Naga people don't take the Desis aliens and Zarab seriously at all.

"Report! Enemy spotted ahead, only... one mech?"

Galactron floated quietly in space, watching the Naga fleet ahead. A ripple emanated from its core, and light and sound spread outwards simultaneously.

"Target confirmed, Naga fleet, judgment initiated... Judgment completed. Naga confirmed to be harmful to civilization. Activation of final annihilation weapon permitted. Core power reactor charging initiated. Crimson Steel status, good."

In an instant, the Naga fleet launched an attack simultaneously. Galactron's core flickered, "Charging complete, Red Steel Sparks launched!"

A red light swept across the Naga fleet in an instant. Without any explosions or other noises, just like the wind blowing through sand, the Naga fleet was instantly reduced to cosmic dust, with only a few ships managing to escape.

It's estimated that the Naga people won't dare to come again for at least 30 million years, and they may never have the chance to come again.

Chapter 119 He who controls the Earth controls the Universe

The news of the annihilation of the Naga vanguard fleet spread throughout the universe within an hour of the incident, and the reason why this news could spread so efficiently was inseparable from the efforts of the Naga themselves.

Having suffered a crushing defeat in the war against the Pedanians, the Naga, who considered themselves gods of the universe, had lost face and set their sights on Earth. Thirty million years ago, the Naga and the Desis were two of the most powerful races in the universe. They continued to expand and eventually found Earth in a remote corner of the universe.

Both sides were very confident at the time, saying that whoever could take over Earth first would be the master of the universe. So they launched a massive invasion. Unfortunately, Earth had not yet entered the Dark War, and the ancient civilization was thriving, with many Ultramen stationed there. The result... is self-evident.

After being beaten up, the Naga and the Desis ran away. For many years afterward, they dared not even think about attacking Earth. Even when they heard that a war had broken out on Earth due to a powerful force, they dared not go there until 30 million years later.

The Naga learned from the stranded Lebik people that Earth's technology was quite backward, still in the early stages of atomic energy. They thought they were invincible. Just then, Zarab came to them, saying he hoped to cooperate in plotting against Earth. The Desis also received the news and said they wanted to join.

The three parties quickly reached an agreement and formulated a meticulous plan. First, the Desis aliens, who had been lurking on Earth for many years, would find an opportunity to control the Earth's upper echelons. Then, the Naga would exert pressure, and Zarab would disguise himself as Ultraman to gain their trust.

In an effort to save face, the Naga invited journalists from many prominent civilizations across the universe to watch the Vanguard Fleet's live broadcast, and then... the Vanguard Fleet vanished.

What should have been a flawless plan turned out like this? The Naga couldn't understand it, but they had already offended many people by calling themselves the gods of the universe over the years, and now they were being ridiculed by a large number of aliens.

"The Naga's humiliating defeat has become the biggest topic in the universe recently. According to our first interview, they were defeated before they even reached the solar system."

"Currently, the Naga leader has publicly stated that this defeat was purely accidental and has nothing to do with Earthlings. They were not defeated by Earthlings, but most likely by the legacy of the Goblin civilization, which disappeared more than ten million years ago. Let's see what the Muzhen people think about this matter..."

In an unknown cosmic black market planet bar, Desrem casually found a seat and sat down. This newly discovered universe was very different from what he had imagined, the most important thing being that it was devoid of order.

Although there are many self-proclaimed powerful civilizations, they are ultimately nothing more than worthless dregs, and have always been in a state of relatively stable chaos, unlike the other universe where there are two major forces, the Dark Universe and the Kingdom of Light, maintaining order in the open.

The Naga claim to be the gods of the universe, but they have never been recognized by most people. They simply cannot convince the masses, such as the Muzhen alien who is being interviewed right now. However, it is undeniable that the Naga are indeed quite powerful and are considered very strong in this universe.

"The Naga are nothing but a joke. We, the people of Muzhen, are the rulers of the universe. Earth is nothing but a joke. We will surely take it down!" Muzhen on the screen declared.

"The people of this universe have their eyes on Earth too." Desrem felt that Earth was to aliens what catnip was to cats. No matter which universe it was, there was always a group of aliens and monsters who liked to run towards that place.

As for Desrem himself, he only wanted to find the Darkweave that His Majesty the Emperor had lost and the Emperor's self-awareness within it; he could conquer this universe later.

"The Naga dare to call themselves gods of the universe? The Muzhen people are nothing but clay chickens and dogs. We Natan people are the masters of the universe!"

"You're talking nonsense! We, the people of Reicuran, are the most powerful beings in the universe!"

"Is it your turn to speak? Our Miki aliens have the strongest science and technology!"

No civilization has ever truly been able to sit in the position of the ruler of the universe. Now that the Naga, one of the most competitive civilizations, has suffered a setback, others feel that they have a chance.

A Chadavian slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "Fine! Let's see who can conquer Earth; whoever does will be the undisputed ruler of the universe!"

Since the Naga suffered a setback on their attempt to invade Earth, they will make Earth their target. Whoever takes Earth will become the ruler of the entire universe. However, even if someone takes Earth first, others will surely try to take it, which will likely trigger a new round of cosmic war.

In fact, the Goblin civilization, which existed ten million years ago, was the most likely civilization to become the ruler of the universe. It was powerful but not particularly aggressive. Unfortunately, it perished for reasons unknown.

Anyway, taking over Earth isn't difficult, because the Naga fleet was annihilated outside the solar system. Nobody thinks Galactron is a weapon created by Earthlings. With that kind of technology, they could conquer the universe directly. Why are they hiding in such a remote place?

Therefore, people generally accept the Naga's claim of "Gobniu civilization heritage," and some are even wondering if they can obtain Galactron.

Soon, a saying spread rapidly throughout the universe: whoever can conquer the Earth will become the recognized ruler of the universe!

"Achoo." Leo couldn't help but rub his nose, looking at Galactron with disbelief. "You mean, you wiped out the entire Naga fleet with a single shot?"

"Correction: Not all were destroyed. Because the machine's functions are still in an unrepaired state, the Crimson Steel Spark did not reach its maximum output, and some Naga ships escaped."

Galactron answered calmly. The injuries she sustained from fighting Gilbaris and clashing with Sphia had not yet healed. Although Sphia had assimilated part of her core, giving her the concept of life and allowing her to understand emotions and use Crimson Steel better, she was still not at her previous peak level.

"Red Steel Spark?" Leo had only heard Galactron mention a secret weapon in her core that couldn't be used casually, but he really didn't know what it was.

"Red Steel is a weapon created by Planet Kucia to destroy the special armor of Gilbaris. It has the function of converting the power of human will into physical destructive energy. After this unit understands the concept of emotion, it can be used more efficiently."

It sounds amazing. Leo couldn't help but think. Although he knew that the girls around him were strong, he didn't expect them to be this strong. Could it be that conquering the universe is really easier than protecting the Earth?

"Report, this unit has completed the mission." Galactron tugged at Leo's sleeve. "Now apply for Leo's reward."

"This operation was all thanks to you," Leo said, placing his hand on Galactron's shoulder. "With you here, I feel so much more at ease, Galactron."

Whether it was hacking into Nagasa, destroying the Naga fleet, or even helping to dispel rumors online, Galactron can be considered the biggest contributor to this operation. Leo is truly fortunate to have her as a companion.

As Leo looked at her like that, Galactron felt her core working at an accelerated pace. Feelings of joy, excitement, and shyness were constantly being input into her database. She wanted to do something directly based on her calculations at this moment, but she couldn't; Leo had a meeting later.

"As for the reward... I don't know what to give you. Is there anything you want?"

Leo then posed the question to Galactron, who continued to think and analyze, eventually arriving at a conclusion.

"This application is for the purpose of staying by Leo's side throughout the total lifespan of this device, helping Leo, and not being abandoned by Leo."

"How could I bear to abandon you? It's more like I can't live without you. But do you still have a remaining lifespan?"

As the most advanced technology on the planet Kucia, Galatron was something Leo never expected to have a limited lifespan.

“With proper maintenance, this machine can extend its service life indefinitely, so… forever.” Galactron paused, as if thinking, his gaze fixed on him. “I want to stay by Leo's side forever!”

Leo was a little touched and hugged Galactron. He could sense Galactron's feelings. "I have to go to a meeting now. Please take care of the other things for me. I can't leave here."

"As for the reward, you should choose something else. Firstly, I'm not immortal, and secondly, even if you didn't offer this condition, I still can't bear to part with you. Of course, I would prefer you to stay by my side."

Leo released his grip, patted Galactron on the head, glanced at the time—the meeting was about to start—and said, "Tell me what you want tonight. I'm leaving now."

Although today's meeting was disrupted by the Desis aliens, it still has to go on, and Leo and the String Man must also participate, because it is also related to them.

Watching Leo's departing figure, Galactron subconsciously clutched her chest. Her core was right there, and its operating speed was even faster than when she used the Crimson Spark before. She could even feel the Crimson Steel responding to her emotions.

"If Leo isn't immortal, then... we must keep him, keep Leo by my side forever... the plan includes mechanical modification, biological cloning, and mental enhancement..."

Galactron's eyes flashed with countless data streams, but in the end, they all turned into a calm voice: "Abort the operation. All resources should be prioritized for the enhancement plan."

A chill ran through Leo's heart. He rubbed his hands together but found nothing wrong, so he walked to the venue.

The conference building was damaged and unusable, so the meeting venue was temporarily moved to an open space in the square. Two speakers and a few microphones were found and used as makeshift facilities, and the chairs were also moved in at random.

Some people simply sat on the ground. These people, who were always thinking about how to protect the earth, looked like homeless people at this moment. They were all covered in dust and dirt, and some were even injured. But their performance told Leo that when it really came to a critical moment, their fighting power would not be much worse than that of the front-line personnel.

Leo quickly realized that he was the last to arrive. Gento and Mizoroki in the front row had saved a seat for him. After apologizing somewhat embarrassedly, Leo sat down and looked at Director Sawai, who had simply skipped the opening ceremony.

"As I said before, everyone has realized that the frequency of monster appearances on Earth has increased since last month, and there are also many monsters that we have seen on TV before, as well as Ultraman that we don't recognize."

"This likely means that we humans are at a critical stage. If we can overcome it, humanity will move towards a new future. In order to meet the challenges that come in the future, we need a stronger force to protect ourselves."

"Therefore, I propose that, taking the King Joe Armory as a reference, each branch can manufacture its own combat armored robots. Those who agree, please raise your hands."

This was agreed upon in a previous online meeting, and bringing it up again now is just to confirm it. Of course, everyone raised their hands, but that's not the point of the meeting.

"In addition, as you all know, TPC has been in contact with friends from the universe for a long time, and there is such a person among today's attendees."

As Director Sawai finished speaking, Redel stood up, and all the attendees instinctively looked at him.

"This is Mr. Redell from Starstead."

Raeder transformed back into his racial form, causing the delegates present to gasp in surprise. While everyone here was aware of TPC's contact with aliens, this was the first time they had seen it so closely.

Why isn't Sister Meifei standing up? It seems the director of the other universe doesn't want everyone to know about it yet. However, this is the first time Redel has appeared in front of representatives from various countries, no wonder an offline summit is being held.

Redel greeted everyone telepathically, then returned to his original form and sat down. Next to him were Director Yoshioka and Old Master Fengyuan, both of whom knew his identity and did not reject him.

“During this time, alien invasions have become more and more frequent, and our Earth itself has suffered from many monster disasters. Our exploration of the universe has been too slow, but we cannot give up on the universe, and we must also distinguish between friends and enemies.”

Of course, the matter of Redell will not be made public now. The public knows very little about the Standellians. We will talk about it when the time is right.

Building friendships is not so simple. Although Redel now has a lot of influence on the planet, he can't decide everything with just a few words.

But that's enough. Humanity cannot give up on the universe, cannot give up on the future. We should not be wary of others, but we also cannot regard all extraterrestrials as enemies.

"At the same time, there is another matter. After discussion among the representatives, we hereby formally establish the special title of Earth Peace Star and hereby confer it upon Captain Stringman and Vice Captain Leo of ESCG, two front-line combat personnel!"

Leo and Gento were completely taken aback by this. They quickly stood up and watched as Director Sawai personally pinned the medal to their uniforms.

"This is a title that only those who have made significant contributions to the protection of humanity and the Earth can receive. Originally, we were going to arrange for you and others to be awarded the medal together, but since you are here, we can just award it to you directly."

With seven years of combat experience, Captain Stringman is undoubtedly deserving of the title. In addition, Captain Megumi and the captains of other teams will also receive one. Leo pointed to himself, "Give it to me?"

"The battles you participated in were all quite difficult, and you even defeated that Golza. You deserve it." Director Sawai personally pinned the medal on Leo's head, patted Leo on the shoulder, and smiled with great satisfaction.

"You are young and handsome, and very capable. The advertising department has been using you for promotion recently. Most young people admire and like you, especially girls. There are also many within TPC."

At the shrine, Renlong, who was eavesdropping, accidentally crushed a teacup that was 30 million years old. Inside the fighting device, Eleking and Zetton instantly sensed danger, and Emperor in the Darkweave frowned.

"What are your views on darkness and light?" Director Sawai suddenly asked. Looking into the director's eyes, Leo felt for some reason that he couldn't see through him, so he simply shared his own understanding.

"In fact, whether it is light or darkness, power is just power, and it depends on the user."

Director Sawai nodded calmly, seemingly quite satisfied with Leo's answer.
