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

Its hands are giant pincers, its slender neck and entire body are covered with holes and channels, and countless black mists surge from its body.

“Moruroya?” Leo immediately recognized it, after all, this monster had once given Taro a hard time and even caused him to lose.

But something is strange. Maga-Oromon was transformed after Earth Demon Beast absorbed the Kirieloid, and Maga-Zetton was transformed after Light Demon Beast absorbed the power of Zetton. So how could Dark Demon Beast become Morroa? It can't be because they both breathe black smoke, right?

"Don't engage in close combat with him; those black mists are troublesome." Daigo's combat instincts told him that fighting in close combat with Morroa, which was formed from the core of the Dark Demon King Beast, would definitely put him at a disadvantage.

“Close combat? There’s no need for that.” Leo pointed to the group of EX Pedanium Zettons and EX-transformed Zettons around him, as well as Galactron, which had already charged up its Crimson Spark and was waiting for Leo to throw Morroa into the sky.

If you can kill the opponent by teleporting and repeating from a distance, there's no need to risk fighting it. Leo doesn't believe this guy also has the ability to absorb light.

Miss Renlong had mixed feelings. She had originally planned to take the risk, but Dark Demon Beast's dark power had first fled in large quantities, and then the Ultra Cards that could have been used were directly stolen by Leo. This caused the beast's strength to drop significantly, making it no match for the group.

Thus, before it could even show its true power, the Dark Demon Beast was brutally beaten by the group from a distance and then absorbed by Leo along with its core.

It wasn't that Leo didn't want to turn Morroa into a Spark Doll or take him under his own control; rather, it would be more effective for him to absorb and transform Morroa himself and then use the transformed Morroa to enhance the power of Zetton and the others.

Against an opponent like Sphia, who could produce a future father at any time, quantity is no longer enough; we need to focus on quality.

However, Leo's good days had only just begun. Next, he would face a joint trial from Renlong, Empera, Zetton, and others.

Chapter 147 The Return of an Old Friend

"Ah, that's great. This time, only Komon's plane crashed. Ordnance King Joe was only slightly injured and otherwise unharmed."

Hong Kai spun around in his chair, stretched, and remarked on the wonderful day.

After Leo defeated Magamorloa, the afternoon's battle was basically over. Everyone then remembered that the fighter jet had been left on Mars, so they rushed back to retrieve it. It was already evening by then.

Thankfully, no one noticed anything unusual. Everyone thought so. The sheer number of people Sphia had brought was truly astonishing. They had all thought something unexpected might happen this time.

"Yes, at least we don't have to worry about being looked at by the repair technicians with eyes that look like they want to devour us alive."

Captain Gentoo, holding his coffee with a sense of relief, thought to himself, "It's really rare. We were all prepared for the plane to crash, but Komon's crash was ruled an accident."

"Fortunately, Komon only suffered minor injuries and will recover after a while." Daigo smiled. Although Komon's plane crash was an accident, it was still an emergency landing, so it wouldn't be appropriate if he didn't suffer any injuries at all.

"I dreamt that I went to Sky Base to deliver something today, and then Fujiwara went to Monster Island to find his friend... Has the vice-captain already gone back?" Hong Kai glanced at the list and realized that Leo hadn't been around since earlier, and it didn't seem like he had gone off somewhere to do something.

“Driving the armored vehicle King Joe still has its burdens, and the deputy captain is more used to resting at home, so I let him go back, after all, it's off-duty time now.”

Indeed, Leo must have been under a lot of pressure this time. He was piloting the Armored King Joe, but all his teammates were being managed by AI. He felt really bad about it. Gen and Kai knew each other's identities and originally planned to take turns providing cover, because they couldn't keep crashing. But this time the situation was difficult.

"I hope the vice-captain can get some rest."

Fujimiya couldn't help but sigh, thinking that Leo's workaholic nature was really worrying for his health.

(Ah, I really want to go back to work. Why did it turn out like this? I finally won and defeated the Dark Demon Beast. Why did it turn out like this?)

Leo really missed his old job; at least he didn't have to think about anything else while working, and the pressure wasn't so great, at least not...

"Leo!" Renlong's stern voice made Leo sit up straight instinctively. Judging from his expression, it was clear that this guy was daydreaming again. "Were you not listening to anything we were saying?"

"I was listening carefully." Leo looked at the girls surrounding him, and this was the first time he truly realized how many more people had joined his family.

"Regarding Leo's unauthorized severing of his life-linking with us and his disregard for his own life, we have unanimously decided after discussion that Leo must make a written self-criticism!"

Right now, most of the people who could speak in this house were gathered around Leo, mainly Renlong, Zetton, Rainbow Kagachi, Empera, and Galatron. Others, such as Ako and Tyrant, could only watch from the sidelines, while Mephisto didn't dare to sit with Empera.

Upon hearing what Miss Renlong said, Leo subconsciously looked up, then lowered his head again. Sure enough, going to work was simpler and easier.

"However, although we are going to make a self-criticism, it's impossible to confiscate the Dark Spark." Renlong said helplessly. The Dark Spark is now deeply connected with Leo and doesn't care about anyone else.

"Moreover, given Leo's personality, even if we don't allow it, even if he signs a document or writes a guarantee, he'll still rush in without caring about anything else when the time comes."

Galatron knew Leo's character well. It wasn't that Leo wasn't afraid of death, but rather that he valued Zetton and Galatron far more than himself.

“Because it’s Leo…” Miss Zetton’s resentment was very deep, and Leo’s head was almost buried under the sofa. “I know I was wrong.”

“You know you’re wrong, but you still have to learn to correct it.” Rainbow Kaga reached out and pinched Leo’s cheek. “When I lost contact with your life, I was shocked. Later I found out that this had happened twice before.”

"Things shouldn't happen more than three times." Leo tried to struggle to save himself, but Ampera stared at him coldly. "What if it's more than three times?"

"Then I'll be struck by lightning?"

Huh0?樲⑵８㈢○⒐ノ╲

"You'd rather be struck by lightning? Even King Elek can't kill you now." Emperor said halfway through when King Elek, who was sitting at the door eating watermelon, looked over curiously, as if he had heard someone calling him. He received a glare from His Majesty the Emperor, "I didn't call you. Go eat your watermelon."

With Eleking's brain, it's highly unlikely she'll give Leo a lecture. That guy's only thinking about having eggs with Leo; even Dimaga is more ambitious in that regard.

"Your current body is composed of ultimate dark energy. If you don't transform into Reionics, you'll look completely human. But you were really too impulsive this time. If it weren't for the Dark Spark and the Ultimate Fighting Device having that kind of ability..."

Ampera clenched her fists. She really wanted to punch Leo a couple of times to vent her anger and let him know how scared she was. But looking at Leo's sincere attitude as he bowed his head and admitted his mistake, she couldn't bring herself to do it, even though she knew that Leo would never repent.

Leo remained silent. He knew that everyone was doing this for his own good and was worried about him. He figured it wouldn't hurt for them to say a few words. In fact, he was quite happy, because if they didn't really care about him, why would they be so nervous?

“Things don’t happen more than three times. You said it yourself, Leo. So from now on, your life belongs to us.” Renlong reached out and took the tea that Yako handed him, displaying the demeanor of a head of household. “You said it yourself.”

"Ah...right." Leo wasn't surprised that Renlong knew what he was saying; the words had already been spoken, and Emperor and the others knew.

For a moment, everyone—including Dimaga and Magabasa who were playing cards and drawing turtles on each other's faces, Ako who was obediently invisible, Mephisto who was deep in thought, Eleking and Tyrant, and even Gorgorgon hiding in the corner—subconsciously looked at Leo.

"In that case, you must cherish your life even more from now on, understand?"

Faced with Renlong's words, Leo nodded repeatedly to show that he understood. Renlong just sighed. No matter how much she said, Leo's personality was not so easy to change. So she simply walked up to Leo, bent down and hugged him.

This move made everyone raise their eyebrows, but even Ampera and Jaden could only clench their fists instead of stopping it, after all, they were the ones who came later, and besides, this was not the time to argue about this.

Leo's body stiffened slightly, and he forced himself not to let go. Renlong knew that it was useless to reason with someone like Leo. "Leo, you're the only one I have left."

"I understand." Leo, who was buried in Renlong's chest, spoke a little muffledly. Renlong's scent was very pleasant, but his face was burning. Renlong himself wasn't much better off; the two of them had extremely low defense.

⒈0一2㈡捌ろ○㈨8

"Let's leave it at that for now." Renlong released his grip, then got up to prepare to cook. "After all, Leo wouldn't choose to abandon us, would he?"

The lecture itself wasn't long; it was just a way for everyone to vent their frustrations with Leo. Nobody wanted Leo to be stressed out again right after he'd just finished his work; he'd already had enough to do today.

Leo lowered his head in thought, looking somewhat somber, which made them wonder if they had said something inappropriate. After all, no matter how reckless Leo was, he was ultimately doing it for everyone's sake.

Zetton gave Dimaga a look, and the latter immediately ran over and lay down on Leo's lap, looking at him with sparkling eyes, "Boss, let's go to Australia and box with the kangaroos!"

"Why don't you say you're going to the Arctic to bully polar bears?" Leo couldn't help but look up and complain. When Magabassa heard that he had something to say, he quickly came over and said, "Are you going to the Arctic? If we go now, we can still catch the aurora."

Magabasa would have been fine if he hadn't brought it up, but as soon as he did, Leo covered his face and said, "Last time you were in Antarctica, the TPC research team took a picture of you. They studied it for two or three days and still couldn't figure out why you were showing off your wings to the penguins."

It's no wonder that Dimaga and Magabassa get along so well. Dimaga likes to bully Golza, and Magabassa likes to bully Melba. If another guy with nothing better to do comes along and just bullies Garula, then this family will need to hire a master.

"Can't you two find someone else to bully?" With these two not-so-bright girls around, Leo's mood did improve considerably.

“There’s nothing we can do about it,” Magabasa said, spreading his hands. “Most of the monsters on Earth are our own kind. Only Golza and Melba were corrupted by darkness. If it weren’t for those two being unlucky, we would have even fewer enemies.”

"Unlucky?" Leo was a little curious. Judging from Magabasa's words, Golza and Melba didn't seem to be enemies before. Magabasa nodded and sat down next to Leo, holding his arm.

"Yes, when Gatanothor fell to Earth, it just happened to hit them both."

Well, these two are indeed quite unlucky. No wonder it's said that the seal of ultimate darkness has been creating Golza and Melba. It seems they just grabbed them and used them as templates.

Leo was muttering to himself when he suddenly noticed that Dimaga's gaze was strange—curious, scrutinizing, and somewhat expectant. In the past, there was only one reason for Dimaga to show such a look.

"hungry?"

"Mmm." Dimaga nodded quickly, then shook his head again. "No, no, oh wait, I'm really hungry. Hey, boss, can't you turn back into a child and let me hug you?"

In an instant, Mephisto, Rainbow Kagachi, and Gogolgon, who was crouching in the corner, all perked up their ears. Even Tyrant looked over in surprise.

"Why did you suddenly want to do this?" Leo himself didn't mind, since there were no outsiders at home anyway, he was just a little uncomfortable at most.

Dimaga calmly pushed Magabasa aside, ignoring the other's "I treat you like a sister, what are you trying to do?" look in his eyes, and grabbed Leo's hand.

"I'm just curious. I've always been the one being held by the eldest brother, so I wanted to see what it would feel like to hold him."

"That's certainly possible. It's a good opportunity to test whether transferring enough power to you can help you break through your current limitations."

Dimaga's potential has been recognized by the Ultimate Fighting Device. After evolving into Dark Sword Dimaga, it began to change in another direction, but the progress was very slow. Now, Leo can freely mobilize the ultimate dark power in his body, transform it, and transfer it to Dimaga to see what form she can evolve into.

With this thought in mind, Leo transferred a significant portion of his power from his body to the Ultimate Fighting Device, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his previous height of 1.4 meters.

Just as Leo was about to suggest trying it out somewhere else, Dimaga hugged him and pressed her face against his. "Mmm! This feels so good! Boss was so soft when he was little!"

"This body was created by the Ultimate Fighting Necklace and the Dark Spark. I'm not made of jelly, so I'm not soft at all." Leo patted Dimaga's head.

"Anyway, it's so soft and comfortable to hug, even more comfortable than the pillow my boss gave me. I want to hug my boss to sleep!"

"No way!" Eleking's tail lifted Dimaga and Leo together, then shook him off, causing Leo to fall back onto the sofa. "It's my turn tonight!"

Oh right, I promised Eleking before, but I was interrupted every time, so it never happened. Leo doesn't mind sleeping with Eleking, but only if Eleking takes off its tail. Otherwise, Leo is afraid he'll die in the middle of the night.

Come to think of it, Galatron didn't mention wanting any reward beforehand. We can't exactly give her a can of engine oil, can we? Or should we polish and wax her? It seems like she has so many thoughts in her head since shrinking; is her thinking being influenced by this body?

Many thoughts flashed through Leo's mind, and then he suddenly felt himself suspended in mid-air. Looking up at Rainbow Kagachi, who had lifted him up, he said with great delight, "Leo, you had this ability before? Why didn't you mention it before?"

“Um… this only happened today.” Leo’s intuition, stemming from the many people of Reibran, told him that there was danger, though not very dangerous, but it seemed to be a danger in a different sense. The way Rainbow Kaga looked at him was very similar to the way Eleking looked at him in his dream.

"Can you put me down?" Leo, who is 1.4 meters tall, is a bit shorter than Rainbow Kagachi, who is 1.9 meters tall. At this close distance, he can smell the unique, clean air about him, like that of a mountain forest after rain.

"No, I want to hug you for a while. Leo made me very worried today, so it's normal for him to give me some compensation, right?" Rainbow Kagachi's gaze was very serious, but this reason made it impossible for Leo to refuse.

Not refusing? That means agreeing! Rainbow Kagachi hugged Leo tightly, not caring at all about Leo being buried in his chest, and even laughed in a somewhat frightening way. Leo's biggest feeling was that he was glad he could live without breathing now.

Mefilas and Gorgorgon were also eager to try, and even Tyrant wanted to ask what it was like, as the contrast between Leo as a child and as an adult was too great.

At the critical moment, it was Leo's communicator that saved his life. Leo quickly pulled his head out of Rainbow Kagachi's chest, then jumped to the ground, took out the communicator and glanced at it. He thought it was a communication from headquarters, but he didn't expect it to be someone else.

"Kirino?"

[Leo, how have you been lately? Although we write every month, it's been half a year since we last met. How about we meet up for a late-night snack at 10 pm tonight? There's a soba noodle stall in S City that's currently under reconstruction; I think you'll like it. —Kirino Makio]

Leo was somewhat surprised that his old friend had returned, but since he had nothing else to do tonight, he figured he might as well go and see him. The soba noodle stall... it seemed that Kirino wasn't the only person he could see.

Chapter 148 Kirino Makio's Prophecy

S City has been under reconstruction since the incident with the Earth Demon Beast. This is a huge undertaking even by today's standards. Many people still live in makeshift houses. It's hard to imagine that there are still buckwheat noodle stalls on the roadside at this time.

"Boss, two bowls of buckwheat noodles, please." A man wearing glasses sat down naturally at the buckwheat noodle stall, turned around and took off his gloves and coat to avoid getting dust in the pot.

“Alright, here’s yours…” The bald boss looked up at the person who came in, then paused for a moment. Kirino Makio smiled and said, “Same as before, I’ll have a small bowl, and the large bowl is for the other person.”

"Alright, alright, sigh, I still can't escape it." Obik didn't expect that Leo wouldn't find him, but instead Kirino Makio came looking for him. But two bowls... it seems that Leo will be coming later. Should he hide?

"What harm is there in meeting him? Perhaps he can solve your problem, or... you can provide him with some answers."

Long ago, Kirino was often taken by Leo to Obik's soba noodle stall to eat. Obik has witnessed the two of them growing up.

“I can’t help him with anything, and I don’t need his help with anything.” Obik busied himself casually. The city under repair was dark at night, except for a light on his side. He squinted, as if he didn’t like the light.

Two bowls of buckwheat noodles were quickly prepared, and another person sat down on the other chair next to Kirino Makio. "Uncle Obik, could you please add another serving... okay, two large bowls."

QQ: 814 903 798

Leo naturally reached for an empty bowl, gave half of his portion to Dimaga, and then glanced at Kirino Makio. In the six months since he last saw him, the guy's skin had gotten much darker, and he was wearing a yellow helmet.

"You switched to civil engineering?" Leo asked casually while eating his noodles, as if the last time they met was just yesterday.

"I heard that S City needs manpower for reconstruction. I happened to be back, so I thought I'd help out. But switching to civil engineering is a good suggestion, since you won't have to worry about finding work."

Kirino Makio is actually a volunteer now, just like Leo used to do. Don't let his gentle appearance fool you, he's become quite the fighter ever since Leo dragged him to the fighting training class.

Then, Kirino looked at Dimaga next to Leo and asked, "Your companion?"

“Dimaga, my second battle partner. Zetton doesn’t really like showing up in front of others.” Leo rubbed Dimaga’s head. Kirino is a psychic who can read minds and foresee certain parts of the future.

So this guy probably knew Leo's identity a long time ago, and wasn't surprised by Dimaga's existence.

"I've always had a very vague understanding of things about you." Kirino Makio pushed up his glasses, exuding a melancholic air typical of a literary youth, but Leo wasn't buying it at all.

"The last time I heard you say that was when you tried to peek at my exam paper during the middle school final exams but failed."

"Can you call it peeking when it's a scholar's business? It's your fault for not studying with me. If you were first in the class, I would definitely copy from you."

"You're blaming me for staying up all night playing games instead of studying?"

The two smiled at each other, the awkwardness of not seeing each other for half a year completely gone. Looking at them, Obik seemed to see the two boys who had just finished fighting back then, only now they had grown so much over the years.
