The most outrageous thing is that some people actually said in private that this was Captain Stringman exploiting Leo's labor. God has eyes! Captain Stringman's seven-year career can be described as diligent and conscientious. When did his reputation start to turn sour?
I just can't figure it out, but it's definitely a good thing that Leo is willing to take the day off. Not to mention the afternoon, Captain Stringman wants him to go and rest right now. No matter what kind of monster appears today, as long as it's not a collection of resentment from the Armory Repair Team, he'll definitely take the Spiral Light Spear and smash them all!
This idea wasn't just shared by Xianren; the other team members had similar thoughts. Leo was always busy and hardworking, striving for peace on Earth, and he was always considerate of his teammates, making thoughtful arrangements.
They can't help much, but if anyone dares to disturb Leo's vacation, they guarantee that the guy will die a more gruesome death than Mos'a, who appeared yesterday afternoon and was torn apart by Jetton and King Elek!
"Speaking of which, Vice Captain Leo, when I was holding a parent-teacher conference for Jun, one of his classmates wanted to know where you lived. You're the girl who called the police in the Astromuses incident, your name is... oh right, Ida Mari."
"However, I didn't tell her where you live. I don't know what you think. Maybe you wanted to thank her for your previous help."
Leo thought for a moment. He still had a deep impression of Ida Maki, after all, they had that kind of relationship. He could guess that she wanted to thank him more formally, but Leo thought it was unnecessary.
The death of the old woman who raised and taught him is a scar in his heart that will never heal, but he is not the kind of coward who can only dwell on the past. Whether it is an apology or gratitude, what does it matter?
"I've been a member of ESCG for a little over half a month, but everyone else has been a member of TPC for at least a year. As long as we can protect the Earth and humanity, we don't really care about gratitude or anything like that."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Those who voluntarily chose to join the front-line defense team were basically all aware of this, but because they also bore the corresponding pressure, hovered between life and death, or were about to lose close comrades, they only needed psychological counseling once a month.
Therefore, Leo's attitude of almost treating himself like a robot makes people even more worried about his health.
After chatting with his teammates for a while, Leo remembered something else and suddenly sighed, "I wonder when Ultraman Nexus will appear next."
Upon hearing Leo mention this, Komon put down the cake in his hand, somewhat nervously, "Why did the vice-captain suddenly say that?"
"As mentioned before, our firepower is insufficient compared to Ultraman's beam, so we have given Dr. Tango special permission to research Ultraman's beam abilities in an effort to replicate them."
"Especially Nexus's beam, once copied, it will break all the monsters into molecules. I don't believe that even if that happens, Specia can still do something!"
"Unfortunately, despite collecting data multiple times, some key data is still missing. If Nexus appears next time, perhaps we can communicate with him and ask him to cooperate in some data testing."
Leo pretended to speak casually, but he had already noticed that something was wrong with Komon and Daigo; there was something fishy going on between them.
“We’ve already chosen the location, the old site of the Third Warehouse. That area was leveled by Spectinolim, so it’s perfect for building the new site. But I’ll still go and discuss with the Science and Research Department whether we can find a way to communicate with the monster first.”
With that, Leo stood up and hurried away. Some of his guesses had been confirmed. Of course, he knew that his words were deliberate, but that was exactly what he had to do. Otherwise, how would Komon and Daigo have realized that he was deliberately testing them?
The more nervous they are, the more likely they are to make mistakes. The more worried they are, the more likely Leo is to find clues. But Leo just wants to verify his guess. That's all. He doesn't want to get beaten up by Zetton again.
However, it would be great if Nexus could actually show up and help out.
Leo walked to the Science Research Department while pondering, then stopped and looked at the group of scientists who had been waiting for him with eager expressions. He began to wonder if he had wandered into the armory, but Dr. Tango and Dr. Otomo were standing there.
"Captain Leo, you've arrived! Come, come, this way, please." Dr. Tango greeted him warmly, and Dr. Otomo followed suit, saying, "Thanks to you, the research data you provided has made our research progress very smoothly!"
Leo really wanted to say that he was just the vice-captain, but it seems that most people would subconsciously ignore this fact. At this moment, Tango and Otomo, these two sworn enemies, did not start arguing.
"We have studied the information you provided earlier and estimate that it can increase the power of the new beam to three times that of the Texas beam, while consuming only twice the energy and taking less than three seconds to charge."
With this kind of power, apart from not being able to break monsters into molecular form like Nexus's beam, it's no different from other beams, and it even charges up faster.
"And on our side, regarding monster research, we've developed a translation machine that can communicate with monsters. We plan to interface with Taganura to see if we can get it to cooperate in our research. Of course, as you say, we will certainly act in accordance with the respect due to our allies."
Dr. Otomo was very excited and even glared at Tango. Indeed, if they could also communicate with the monsters, many conflicts could be avoided in the future. For example, Taganura would be a good ally. As for those who wouldn't listen? Well, let's talk to the Texas Cannon Beam about that.
Dr. Otomo glanced smugly at Dr. Tango, who adjusted his glasses, stared at Dr. Otomo, and gave a disdainful snort.
"We have figured out the special ray that can break the Sphia!"
"We've also developed a barrier that can reflect monster beams!"
"I will prove that Ultraman's power is the strongest sooner or later!"
"Powerful monsters are the future's only guarantee for protecting humanity!"
It's hard to imagine that two of TPC's top scientists are arguing like children debating whether Ultraman or a monster is stronger. But that's fine, because Leo's biggest worry is that they're overly pursuing science and forgetting what they should be doing.
However, aren't these two a bit too efficient? Leo carefully sensed it and found that the light in Dango and Otomo's hearts was even stronger than before.
The Earth and the people living on it are moving in a direction that no one before them could have imagined.
Chapter 129 The house is getting more and more lively
Leo rarely chooses to take leave. After all, unlike others who live at headquarters for at least five days a week, he clocks in and out on time every day. He always feels that compared to others, he is more likely to give people the impression that "this person likes to slack off."
Of course, the other members of TPC certainly wouldn't think that way. Even Captain Stringman and the others are still wondering if Leo is really in a relationship but is too embarrassed to say it, which is why he took the initiative to ask for leave. After all, when the communication was connected earlier, they heard a girl's voice on Leo's end.
For someone in the defense force, finding a partner is really not easy. So if any monster or alien dares to be so tactless as to disturb Vice-Captain Leo's love life, not only ESCG, but most of TPC will not let it get away with it!
But Leo's leave wasn't for going on a date or anything; he estimated that Rainbow Kagachi and Maga Gorgon would wake up in the afternoon, and he definitely couldn't let them out of the command room.
Soon, Rainbow Kagachi and Maga Gorgon woke up and were released from the Fighting Nymph by Leo. Of course, it was agreed beforehand that they would appear in human form. Rainbow Kagachi herself can create a human body, just like Renlong. Although Maga Gorgon has little potential, the Ultimate Fighting Nymph has also prepared a human body for her.
As the faint light faded, Rainbow Kagaki and Maga Gorgon appeared before everyone. Dimaga couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaim, "Wow, they're huge..."
Leo almost choked on Dimaga's words. Zetton and Eleking subconsciously glanced at their chests. They had lost. They had actually lost.
Even the most unremarkable emperor present frowned and decisively covered Leo's eyes, saying, "You're not allowed to look!"
"Is it possible that I've actually already seen it?" Leo said with a hint of helplessness, while Renlong looked as if he had expected it all. After all, Rainbow Kaga's size... there aren't many humans who can find a volleyball bigger than that.
"Big sister, long time no see!" Rainbow Kagachi seemed very happy, with a gentle smile. If Renlong was very maternal, then she was like a big sister next door. However, Leo had not forgotten her swearing.
"Long time no see." Renlong and Rainbow Kagachi are very close sisters, so she was naturally happy to see her return.
When Renlong saw Rainbow Kagachi hug Leo so tightly he almost suffocated him, he couldn't be happy anymore. "Brother-in-law! Oh brother-in-law, you're amazing! You don't look like you're even ten years old, but you can fight better than me."
"Let go of me." Renlong punched Rainbow Kagachi on the head. "Are you trying to suffocate Leo? And how many times have I told you not to be so exposed? Don't you know to wear more clothes to cover yourself up?"
"Anyway, we're all on the same side here." Rainbow Kaga scratched his head, looking a little aggrieved as he let go. Leo was about to tell Renlong not to worry since he didn't need to breathe when he noticed that Zetton and Eleking looked displeased.
Recalling the dream he had, Leo suddenly felt uneasy. Before he could say anything, he was gently hugged from behind. Facing the hostile gaze of Rainbow Kagaki, Gorgorgon chose to hide behind Leo for protection, like a coward.
The problem was that Gorgorgon's build and height caused Leo's head to rest in a certain position, making Zetton, Eleking, and Empera look at her with increasing hostility. She trembled, worried that she might be killed at any moment.
“Gorgorgon is one of us now. I hope you can forgive us for what happened before.”
Back then, Rainbow Kagachi and Maga Gorgon fought each other to the very end, so it was normal for them to have a bad relationship. But now, Leo can sense that Gorgon has developed his own personality and is somewhat afraid of Kagachi, and is very dependent on Leo.
"I...I'm sorry..." Gorgorgon's voice trembled as she spoke. Despite being nearly 1.9 meters tall, she shrank behind Leo and dared not come out. Leo felt that this girl was pitifully timid, or rather, lacked confidence.
“Since my brother-in-law has said so, I can let bygones be bygones.” Rainbow Kagachi was quite open-minded. Anyway, Maga Gorgorgon was already dead. She didn’t know Leo, but she absolutely trusted Renlong’s choice.
"Thank you." Gorgorgon's voice was very soft, almost inaudible. Leo felt that if this continued, she might faint, so he decided to let her go back into the Fighting Device. She was probably traumatized by being killed by Rainbow Kagaki back then.
Through his connection with the monster, Leo sensed Gorgorgon's gratitude towards him. This girl was really shy, even though she was quite strong.
Renlong and Rainbow Kagachi hadn't seen each other for a long time, so today they were going to catch up and talk about what had happened during this time. But Rainbow Kagachi's first words were to make Renlong feel warm.
"Sister, your husband is so much older than you, he's only ten years older than you. Aren't you two a bit too compatible?"
"He doesn't care, so why are you bothering with all this? You need to be taught a lesson, don't you?"
Renlong glared at Rainbow Kagachi with annoyance, while the latter chuckled and scratched his face before finally asking, "So, sister, how far have you and brother-in-law progressed? Have you done *that*?"
"Get lost!" Renlong angrily punched Kagachi on the head again. This guy was tough and not afraid of this, but Renlong just couldn't understand why Rainbow Kagachi was as gentle as a caring older sister in front of Leo, but was so annoying in front of him.
On the other side, Leo felt a bit of pressure, mainly because of the strong sense of oppression from Zetton and Eleking. Magabasa, to make matters worse, came over and blinked her big eyes at him, "Leo, just now, Sister Kagachi called you brother-in-law, and you didn't object."
Oh no! Leo suddenly realized what had happened. Things were a bit rushed yesterday, and he hadn't argued with Rainbow Kaga about the nickname. But luckily, Leo's mind worked quickly. "It's not like she wouldn't call me that if I objected."
That seems to be true. For example, Magabassa... oh, this guy no longer calls Leo "brother-in-law".
Zetton and King Eleking were not fooled, and neither was Emperor. Leo scratched his head and said, "I'm off this afternoon, let's go out and play?"
"I'm not going." Unexpectedly, Eleking shook his head at this moment, and Dimaga was so shocked that the potato chips in his mouth fell out.
"I'm not going either." Jaden also refused. This time, Leo couldn't help but pinch his arm. Ouch, that hurt. This wasn't a dream.
"I need to get used to my current power and see if I can break through my limits." Normally, Zetton would be happy to go out with Leo, but after obtaining the power of the Light Demon Beast, she is now vaguely touching a threshold.
If it were any other Zetton, it would probably have already evolved to EX form and fully developed its potential. But Miss Zetton is different. Her potential is too great and her strength is too great. She has no idea how to seek further breakthroughs and can only rely on constant fighting.
In fact, Miss Zetton's current strength is already comparable to that of the EX-version Zetton, and she might even have the upper hand in battle due to her rich combat experience.
“Me too, me too.” Eleking nodded quickly. She had been feeling sleepy lately, but her strength had increased a lot. Her instincts told her that this was a sign of her growing stronger. Although she wanted to physically cling to Leo, she hoped to help him better after she became stronger.
As for why Eleking was able to break through so soon after arriving, while he had been stagnant for so long while being raised by the Pitt aliens... Galactron analyzed that it might be because the child was finally no longer hungry and had learned to use the cosmic magnetic field, so he could become stronger no matter where he slept.
Leo understood, and even felt somewhat helpless about himself. He had absorbed all the dark power of the five Demon Beasts, but he hadn't become much stronger. Could it be that he didn't know how to use these powers correctly?
However, now, the only one left at home who can accompany Leo shopping is Dimaga. Empera can't easily appear in crowded places and can only stay in Darkweave. As for Magabasa...
"Leo, I'm going to the Arctic. Do you want to see penguins? I'll bring one back for you."
Magabasa moved closer to Leo, rested her chin on his chest with a smug look, and looked up at him. Miss Jetton frowned.
"Penguins live in Antarctica. Also, stop bullying polar bears. Just harass Melba. Remember to come home for dinner on time and be careful not to get hurt."
"I know, I know. I'll definitely ask you to help me get revenge if I encounter someone I can't beat!"
It just goes to show how different it is to have someone protecting you. Magabassa happily hugged Leo and then disappeared in a flash.
But this means that the only person Leo can go out with at home is Dimaga, while Mefilas is too busy with opening her shop.
Galactron has been quite busy lately. She's no longer limited to creating Galactron herself; she's even started creating mechanical Zetton, mechanical Eleking, and even plans to create mechanical Ultraman.
After learning this news, Leo didn't know how to react. On one hand, he thought Galactron was really powerful, but on the other hand, he couldn't believe that such a powerful Galactron couldn't defeat Gilbaris.
Thinking about it this way, the house is getting more and more lively, and having more people is a good thing.
"Dimaga, come on, I'll take you to find some food!" Leo waved his hand.
"Here I am!" Dimaga shoved everything in his hand into his mouth and ate it all in one bite. He skipped and jumped alongside Leo, afraid that if he fell behind even a step, Leo would change his mind.
There's no way around it. Eleking caught so many fish yesterday, and the family has only eaten half of them since yesterday. She's almost tired of them. Besides, she's willing to go anywhere as long as she's with Leo!
Meanwhile, in space, another meteorite flew directly toward Earth, crashing into a field after passing through the atmosphere. The massive explosion it caused immediately caught the attention of the SKIP staff, who feared it was some kind of monster flying in.
But amidst the flames, a woman who looked somewhat weak and had a pale face emerged and fled towards the city not far away.
Meanwhile, Galactron at the Jupiter base was busy with two things: first, preparing to examine and test Zetton and Eleking's abilities; and second, having located the planet Melane, which had been launched to Earth yesterday, and marked it as an enemy.
If it weren't for the fact that Earth is currently busy dealing with monsters, and that revealing its strength too early would be detrimental to future actions, Galactron would definitely have sent over a dozen Galaoguma right now to make the Melani civilization pay the price for their previous acts of aggression.
However, based on her current analysis, she believes that Earth has become a trap, and no matter which alien tries to invade, they will definitely not come out unscathed. After all, not to mention Leo, there are at least eight other Ultramen (including Goroki).
Therefore, Galactron's mission was to fabricate false information to ensure that no external enemy had an accurate assessment of Earth's strength. At the same time, it unilaterally blocked and filtered all information launched from Earth into space, releasing only data from Earth ten years ago, a strategy commonly known as strategic deception.
"Hmm, what is this?" Although he hadn't spent much time with Leo during this period, Galactron had always been concerned about his situation, and he had never stopped hacking into TPC's global surveillance system to secretly observe all of Leo's actions.
But to her surprise, Leo would run into Yako, who was shopping.
Of course, Ako herself did not expect to run into Leo in such a place. Although Leo was in the awakened form of Leonics, he was marked with Leo's mark, so it was easy for Ako to recognize him.
But she was a little nervous. Instead of doing research in the lab, she had come out to stroll around. Leo would definitely think she was being lazy and had let him down when he saw her.
"It's surprising, Ayako, that you're so interested in Earth's culture?" Leo noticed that Ayako was carrying a lot of comic books and games, but she didn't seem angry at all.
"Um, Your Highness Nix, what brings you here?" Ako was surprised by Leo's unusually friendly attitude, which was completely different from before.
"I took the afternoon off to bring Dimaga out for fun. If we happen to run into each other, let's go for a walk together. You're definitely not as familiar with this area as I am."
Leo rubbed Dimaga's head. Last time, it was mainly to scare Ako so that she wouldn't lie. But now that he understood her motives and other factors, Leo wouldn't have any prejudice against her.
"Are you asking for leave?" Ako couldn't help but wonder. Leo was on the same level as Emperor, so why did he need to ask for leave?
Seeing Ako's confusion, Leo, wearing a hood, pointed to the large television screen not far away, which was still broadcasting news about him. After seeing the words "Leo, the strongest rookie of the Earth Defense Force," Ako's mind went blank.
However, it would be a lie to say that she didn't want to go shopping with Leo; she really wanted to learn more about him.
"What a peaceful day." Looking at the people coming and going on the street, all with happy smiles, Leo couldn't help but sigh that he wished these days could last forever, and casually wiped Dimaga's mouth.
"Tranquility? Didn't a Garula just appear fifty kilometers away?" Ako felt that Leo's understanding of tranquility was different from her own, but she didn't expect that there were Ultramen in this world.
"Then he was defeated by Ultraman Tiga who rushed out in less than a minute, and Melba was also defeated by Blaze who stabbed him down from the sky after only 30 seconds on the scene."
Leo felt that these Ultramen were really active today, which was a good thing. None of the monsters that appeared today caused too much damage. The only one that was difficult to deal with was a Garula fused with Specia, but it couldn't even last a minute against the combined doubles attack of Gaia and Agul.
However, hearing the explosions coming from the suburbs, Leo felt that his holiday was going to be difficult again.
Meanwhile, in the command room, the ESCG team members, seeing that the meteorite analysis results indicated it was a man-made object and realizing that something seemed amiss, sharpened their eyes. The vice-captain had finally gotten half a day off; let's see which fool dares to cause trouble!
Chapter 130: He will never return!
On the bustling streets, the girl walked aimlessly, gazing at the thriving civilization of this planet, and couldn't help but think of her homeland.
Compared to the people on the street, her attire was somewhat peculiar. She was wearing a heavy-looking metal bracelet. When she saw a little girl's red balloon accidentally fly away, she intended to catch it for her, but then she saw the girl's mother leap up and jump four or five meters high to retrieve the balloon for her child.
