Ultraman, is this defense team up with you?

"Doctor, this is the device used to release the virtual barrier. I call it Poké Ball."

"Poke ball?"

"Yes! It can fly, has built-in AI, can deploy a shield to protect itself, can also expand the shield plane to block enemy damage over a wide area, and can even release a force to bind opponents, or even capture and imprison them!"

"Catch...that path is too much, no wonder it's called a Poké Ball."

"That's right! If it upgrades in the future, it can be called Super Ball, Advanced Ball, and Master Ball!"

Yuka was full of energy and excitement.

"Moreover, I predict that if it is upgraded to Advanced Ball Sauce, the size of the barrier should be large enough to contain large monsters such as Gatanothor or Ta Baigbazun."

"May I look into it?"

"Sure, but do you know anything about AI, Doctor?"

"AI? I don't really understand it, but I know how to copy!"

Dr. Gehrman quickly replicated an identical Poké Ball while speaking.

A new collection feature has been added to the Poké Ball.

"It can now cope with various different environments, collect, record, and even analyze various examples of the current environment to a certain extent; it can even be as precise as electrons, protons, and neutrons."

"Ultraman Ace, could you please take Poké Ball and enter the time-travel state to collect some spacetime particles for me?"

Ace nodded and extended his hand.

The Poké Ball flew towards Ace's palm and slowed down to make a soft landing.

Ace held the Poké Ball, nodded, then nodded again, and returned the Poké Ball to the professor.

"Huh? Why give it back to the Doctor!" Yuka was taken aback.

"Perhaps we've returned to the point in time when we left," Dr. Gehrman speculated.

He took the Poké Ball and began to study it.

"Ah! As expected, we have collected the spacetime particles."

After obtaining the materials, Dr. Gehrman quickly got to work.

Watching the busy professor, Yuka thought of time travel and couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity and interest.

"Time travel, I really want to try it! I want to see what kind of people my ancestors were, and what my future will be like..." Yuka's eyes flashed with intense curiosity and longing.

"The future?" Gehrman sensed.

"The future, the future holds infinite possibilities!"

Dr. Gehrman sighed, "And Gauss's final form is related to the future. Ye Cheng's image flashed through my mind, and I sighed, 'Sigh...'"

"Huh?" Yuka had no idea that the professor was thinking of Ye Cheng.

Following the doctor's words, Yuka thought for a moment and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Does the doctor mean that time travel can only work in the present and the past?"

"Not exactly. It's just that the future you go to isn't necessarily the future you experience, while the past is constant—the things you've already experienced and know have happened."

"Ah, my teeth are so white! Why am I suddenly feeling sleepy?!"

"Haha, let me give you a simple example. For instance, if you go to the future this time and find that the world has been destroyed by Gatanothor, but the next time you go to the future, it might be a world where Gatanothor has been eliminated and peace has been restored."

"Furthermore, the probability of different future outcomes will vary depending on the odds of winning for both sides in the event."

"Does that mean we can do what Doctor Strange did—using the Time Stone to predict future timelines and deduce the timeline for resolving Thanos's situation?"

"Doctor Strange? What's that?" Dr. Gehrman scratched his head.

"Poké Ball, project some relevant information to the professor."

"Yes, Miss Yuka!"

The first-generation Poké Ball created by Yuka quickly projected a beam of light from the dot at the boundary between red and white.

Light floated in the air, forming a virtual display, on which various texts and images of Doctor Strange speculating about the future quickly appeared.

"I see!" Dr. Gehrman nodded.

"A very good idea, it certainly has the potential to lead to a successful future and to understand how to defeat the competition! But do you remember one sentence?"

"The future holds infinite possibilities!"

"The future you are going to right now is based on the future of this very moment!"

"And when you return, time continues to flow, and you have already stepped into the unknown future once again. The future of the previous second has already become the past."

"A variable in a second?" Yuka was speechless.

"That's roughly the idea. There are still various variables in the time before the target is killed."

"For example, Diablo chose to cooperate with us because he wanted to live!"

"But what if an unstable entity like Tartarus, capable of disrupting spacetime, discovers this universe, opens a spacetime wormhole, and takes him away?"

"Moreover, people's hearts are complex. Many times, a single glance or a moment can cause a complete change in one's thinking."

"Predicting the future and replicating successful solutions from the future is indeed a great idea, but it is too difficult to put into practice."

"So... does that mean the ability to travel to the future is completely useless?" Yuka couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"That's not true. After all, you've traveled from this moment to the future. If you defeat the enemy in the future and there's a record of that enemy's weakness, then unless it has undergone further evolution or modification before you defeat it, the weakness will still be effective against it."

"In conclusion, the future course of events is unpredictable, but the future deduced from the current situation is credible in the absence of change."

"That's right!"

"However, while the trajectory of events is beyond our control, it does not mean we are powerless. We can absolutely help those individuals who play a decisive role in the events within the successful timeline."

"For example: suppose that in many future scenarios, Ye Cheng returns and defeats the opponent."

"Then finding Ye Cheng will greatly increase the probability of victory. Moreover, in a successful timeline, we have a high probability of finding Ye Cheng's whereabouts and spacetime coordinates. Once we have fully mastered the V99 wormhole technology, we can bring him back from other universes."

"Wow! This is great!" Yuka understood this time and quickly began to use her imagination.

"We can also combine this idea with AI and Qiu Jiang! Mass production to form big data means that even if we go to a dangerous future of destruction, we will most likely be able to come back with a virtual shield, at most the machine will be destroyed."

“That’s a great idea!” Dr. Gehrman exclaimed excitedly.

"Looking at it this way, having the ability to travel to the future is still very meaningful." A sense of epic scale suddenly arose in Yuka's heart.

"What if we went back to ancient times?" Jiehua's curiosity was piqued again.

"If someone could travel back to ancient times and wipe out all the ancient humans, would the world be destroyed now?"

"Of course not! The past is unique; there are no other possibilities."

"What has already happened cannot be changed. Doing so would at most create a parallel universe, which would have no impact on the current world, unless one has the power to modify the past and make it affect the future."

"Otherwise, simply traveling back to ancient times and killing the enemy's ancestors would not affect the enemy."

"Doctor, does that mean... there really is a powerful force in this universe that can destroy the future by wreaking havoc in the past?"

"I've never heard of it; I just said it casually based on a comprehensive analysis."

"Doctor, what if we protected people who were supposed to die in that timeline?" Dan Moroboshi's voice rang out.

The Moroboshi group originally came to help Shinjo with his needs, but the group, who were interested in the topic, quickly became engrossed.

After listening to their entire conversation, I immediately thought of the D60 and L77 tragedies.

"Theoretically, they could survive, but there is no future for them, so they will probably still disappear into history due to the convergence of world lines."

"I understand..." Dan Moroboshi nodded heavily.

"Ultraman Seven, if you want to save those masters from D60 and Planet L77, you might as well bring them directly to this world."

"Bring it here?" Dan Moroboshi asked, astonished. "Will this work?"

"Their problem is that they died in the history of another universe, where they belonged to those without a future and might simply vanish if they went to the future. But this universe is definitely fine."

"But if this works, then can we keep going back and forth, traveling through the same time point and continuously creating the same batch of people?" Jiehua asked curiously.

"The theory is feasible, but I seem to have heard that two parallel universes of Reonics (Ray) met, and the result was that they did not coexist for a long time. Instead, one of them disappeared and was repelled back to its original universe."

"If the rumors I heard are true, then the person I saved the second time will most likely be bounced back by the first transmigrators to appear in this universe, and then suffer various accidental deaths due to the convergence of world lines."

"I understand! Thank you, Doctor!" Dan Moroboshi nodded earnestly.

Although it's a long and winding road, the destruction of L77 and D60 will not change. But if we can protect everyone, whether history is changed or not is no longer important.

Although he couldn't affect Leo in the main universe, Dan Moroboshi knew that if Leo knew that his family was still living in another universe, his mindset would be completely different, and he would definitely be happy.

However, this would result in two Leos.

Without Leo, he would still follow the tragic path of the official history.

If Leo is taken away, and the doctor's prediction is correct, then history will not change. However, if Leo wants to come to this timeline to visit his parents in the future, there will be a time limit.

As for what to do about this, it would be better to ask Leo himself after we get back.

Escaping from that rosy future and thinking of Sphiamagagata, Dan Moroboshi's expression quickly turned somber again.

"Doctor, please make sure to use the AI ​​Future Big Data Plan we just discussed to find clues to locate Ye Cheng!"

Without Ye Cheng, even if they had defeated Gatanothor this time, Dan Moroboshi felt that Earth would eventually be unable to withstand the onslaught.

"Doctors, how is the battery life of this Poké Ball? Could you add functions such as healing, scanning health status, and communication? That way, Ultraman Nexus can carry it with him to fight all over the world."

Seven placed high hopes on Nexus, humanity's last hope in Ye Cheng's absence, and still did not forget to help him stay alive and become stronger as much as possible.

"Of course, Mr. Moroboshi! I, Kyuu-chan, have been equipped with the Meta Realm's subspace technology. My internal space is huge; it can even hold monsters like your monster capsules. Kyuu-chan is amazing!"

Without needing to say anything, the Poké Ball itself announced it.

Dan Moroboshi: "..." What?

“Well, you’re not wrong!” Yuka agreed.

"However, the idea of ​​Ultraman carrying a Poké Ball is really good. Besides treatment, checking physical health, and communication, it can also have a built-in pass to facilitate passing through all virtual shields to support the city, and even store food and monsters. Moreover, if Ultraman has a Poké Ball with him, even if Ultraman falls down and turns into human form, the Poké Ball can protect the human host through the virtual shield."

"The virtual shield is not set to block air by default, but it will block other harmful gases. Even if an enemy wants to harm the human being while he is unconscious, the virtual shield will block the toxic gases. Some intelligent Poké Balls can even take the human being inside the spherical barrier away from the scene and escape from the enemy's pursuit."

As the professor explained, even Dan Moroboshi himself became interested.

"If we bring one along, wouldn't we be able to survive even if this operation fails?"

It's important to understand that this shield could withstand even the attacks of Absolut Diablo, so it couldn't have collapsed simply because the power supply lines couldn't hold up.

"Furthermore, if combined with flash tunnel technology, if a monster appears in the future, we can directly arrive at the scene, seal the monster within a spherical virtual barrier, transport it to an uninhabited area, and decide whether to eliminate or relocate it?"

"That's the theory. I'll build two for you and the Nasdes in a bit."

"Shouldn't we produce more?"

"This level of configuration requires a very high-end shield generator and power supply and pressure resistance system, which also requires regular maintenance and updates, and consumes a lot of precious resources that the current Earth cannot mass-produce."

"Then let's go to the future to find Ye Cheng's mass-produced Poké Balls?"

"We'll have to go out and gather information with the bare machine, without any shields. The losses will probably be huge, but there's nothing we can do about it."

The Earth today is mass-produced, and it can't even afford a basic earth barrier, let alone a virtual shield.

Dr. Gehrman quickly replicated two new Poké Ball robots and gave one to Shinjo.

Soon, the newly equipped city set out!

In actual testing, the Poké Ball can even help New Town defend against enemy sneak attacks, deploying a shield to block the attack. It even defended against a sneak attack from Dark Zagi's Lightning Zagi in actual battle.

The strength of the shield caught Dan Moroboshi's eye.

The current Zagi is far stronger than Nexus in his red youth form. He can only survive by relying on his shield. If Dark Zagi were to chase and attack him, he might actually be able to blast the shield's generator or power supply device with high pressure.

But... Jaden is here!

Appearing like a shadow.

A dark plasma beam shot out from the red glowing organ in his head, striking Dark Zagi's shoulder and exploding in a shockwave that instantly blasted Dark Zagi away.

Belial crossed his arms and fired the Desium Ray to ambush Zetton.

"Zeeton~!"

Zetton vanished and reappeared directly in front of Belial.

He slapped Belial away, leaving Belial furious but helpless.
