The Dimensional Tavern of the Mefilas Alien

However, if it really came down to a fight, he wasn't afraid of anyone.

Murphy's aura was gradually rising, and his azure eyes were becoming increasingly bright.

"Beria, if we're so desperate, we'll sink the entire Leo constellation today!"

Beria looked grave.

In the entire universe, probably no one understands Murphy's strength better than him. If he could, he wouldn't want to fight Murphy. However, allowing this bar to continue operating was simply too dangerous.

“For the sake of our past relationship, I will spare your life,” Belial said in a deep voice.

"What gives you confidence?" Murphy shook his head.

The tense atmosphere made everyone in the shop feel like they were about to have a heart attack.

Especially those guests from the ordinary world. They just wanted to experience the novelty of another world and watch the excitement, never expecting that they would lose their lives.

Despite the fear, upon hearing Murphy Eagle's version of the language system, a sense of anticipation arose deep within me.

To witness such a battle between powerful individuals, even dying would be worth the price of admission!

"We can't operate here, let's go outside and fight!" Murphy was reluctant to give up the bar he had worked so hard to build, so he decided to find a different place to be the battlefield.

Beria, of course, wouldn't object; he was also worried that if he blew up the bar, it would create a Greza.

Just as the two were about to leave, the door to the bar opened again.

The two men who were facing off turned their heads.

"Oh, did I come at the wrong time again?"

"I can't believe it," asked Jun Himeya, who had just stepped into the bar.

"Ultraman?" Belial was taken aback when he saw Jun Himeya.

But he had never seen an Ultraman who looked like this before. Could it be that he came from a planet outside of the Land of Light, L77, and U40?

"Jun Himeya, have you gained Nexus's approval?"

Murphy was also surprised. Only a few days had passed, and he had already become a Nexus candidate so quickly?

"Ah, shopkeeper. Thanks to your guidance, I reached the depths of the ruins immediately after returning."

Upon seeing Murphy, Jun Himeya rarely showed a slight smile.

Despite Murphy's assertion that the adaptable individuals were consumables, he didn't care. On the contrary, if protecting more people only required sacrificing his own life, he felt he had no reason not to do it.

For Jun Himeya, there was no better way to atone for his sins.

"Manager, what's going on here?"

Jun Himeya noticed that the atmosphere between Murphy and Belial was a bit off.

"It's nothing, just preparing to sink Leo!" Murphy said casually, but Jun Himeya couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"It's best not to do that!"

Jun Himeya didn't think Murphy was a bad person. As for Belial, although it was their first meeting, Jun Himeya immediately realized that this alien was also an Ultraman.

He felt that there must have been some misunderstanding between the two.

“There is no misunderstanding.” Beria said coldly.

Even after seeing through Jun Himeya's identity, he had no intention of changing his mind.

"Isn't Ultraman's power meant for protection?" Jun Himeya frowned, a sense of dissatisfaction with Belial rising in his heart.

Belial glanced at Jun Himeya and thought that this guy was just as naive as the rookies in the Space Garrison.

I'm doing this now precisely to better protect the universe!

Jun Himeya understood Belial's gaze. It was the gaze of someone with unwavering conviction. Seeing Belial was like seeing his past self. Therefore, Jun Himeya was even more determined not to let him go astray and end up regretting it.

Would you mind telling me what happened?

Jun Himeya had no choice but to ask Murphy.

Murphy reached out and shared the memory he had just experienced with him.

"Is that really how it is?"

Himeya Jun suddenly realized.

"Your concerns are valid. But besides the crisis, doesn't the bar also bring hope to various dimensions?"

"Let's give more trust to the bar and to those guests from different universes!"

Beria was about to retort.

"If all else fails, you can take charge of the supervision yourself. If the bar really causes a crisis later, you can shut it down then. I don't think the manager would object!"

“…” Belial glanced at Murphy out of the corner of his eye.

"I have no objection. Consider it an extra free security guard!" Murphy chuckled. He ran the bar purely for fun. If it actually triggered some kind of intergalactic crisis, it would only spoil his enjoyment.

"You bastard!"

Beria was angered by Murphy.

'Oh no, this is going to fall apart!' Jamila thought to herself.

He gritted his teeth and stepped forward. Since that's the case, he'd do his utmost to show loyalty to the store manager!

"Hmph, since that's the case, we're even!"

But then Belial changed his tune and actually agreed.

"Huh?" This sudden turn of events caught everyone except Murphy off guard.

“You'd better just stay running a bar… I’ll be keeping a close eye on you.” Beria gave Murphy a deep look. “If I ever find out you’ve done anything you shouldn’t, don’t blame me for forgetting all past favors!”

After saying this, Beria strode away from the bar and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky.

"Great, manager!" The customers in the store cheered.

Murphy looked up, his gaze piercing through the dome of the bar, watching Belial disappear into the distance.

'That guy is still so dishonest!'

Only Murphy guessed that Belial's easy concession was probably because he never intended to actually shut down the bar in the first place. He likely just wanted to confirm his true intentions through a fight.

Murphy couldn't help but reminisce about the past:

That guy has been like this for a long time. He has many thoughts in his mind, but he never says them out loud. He just keeps them to himself.

Chapter 71 Recalling the Past, Tears Never Dry (4k2 combined)

After Belial left, everyone who had been holding their breath breathed a sigh of relief.

They were both disappointed that they hadn't been able to witness a peak showdown and genuinely grateful that they had survived.

"The shop manager and that Ultraman are practically monsters!"

Kakashi sighed softly.

He was, after all, a Jonin, and was somewhat well-known in the ninja world.

But just now, the aftershocks of the aura that the two people unconsciously emitted during their confrontation almost crushed all the bones in his body.

The three generations nodded.

He met the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha, who was his equal, when he was a child.

Even those two ninjas, who could be called ninja gods, had never given him such a terrifying sense of oppression.

The Kurama inside Naruto scoffed.

He admitted that Hashirama Senju's strength was decent, but comparing him to Murphy and Belial was an insult to them.

Kurama, through Naruto's perspective, looked with awe at Murphy, who was chatting and laughing with Jun Himeya.

Like the third generation, seeing Murphy was like looking at the moon from the bottom of a well; they could only vaguely sense that he was very strong.

But a fox like this, who had witnessed the Sage of Six Paths' family firsthand and heard the story of Kaguya Otsutsuki, felt utterly powerless, like an ant facing the sky, when it saw the imposing aura displayed by Murphy and Belial.

Even the Sage of Six Paths, who became the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, was at most a defenseless child in front of these two!

Therefore, everyone looked at Himeya Jun with a greater sense of gratitude.

They were unaware of the connection between Belial and Murphy. In their view, it was Jun Himeya who persuaded Belial to spare the tavern from war.

"Manager, this young man's purchase is on me today!"

Three generations beckoning.

Fortunately, he brought a lot of gold with him to buy new books, so he could afford the expenses.

Kakashi smiled wryly to himself. He knew that once he returned, the advisors would likely be arguing fiercely about the village's funding again.

"Thank you, but I didn't really do anything! You're too kind." Jun Himeya politely declined the Third Hokage's offer.

After Sera's death, he didn't want to have any more involvement with other people.

Seeing his resolute attitude, the third generation could only regretfully give up.

Although he was so intimidated by Murphy and Belial's imposing presence that he couldn't move, he had been listening attentively the whole time.

Whether it was Belial just now, or this person in front of me who looks similar to a human from the ninja world, they are both Ultraman.

Compared to Belial, the travel-worn, weathered man before him was more in line with the Ultraman image Murphy had described. Therefore, he was actually thinking of taking this opportunity to cultivate a good relationship with Jun Himeya, so that if Konoha or the ninja world were to face a major crisis in the future, he might be able to ask him for help.

"Manager, who exactly is that Ultraman Belial? Do you have some past grudge against him?"

Jamila took the opportunity to whisper a question to Murphy.

He just heard it! Beria and Murphy are old acquaintances, and they seem to have a close relationship.

However, according to Murphy's previous statements, one belonged to the Light faction and the other to the Dark faction. They were sworn enemies, so how did they become connected?

Moreover, if Jamila remembers correctly, isn't the red dwarf that Murphy hates the most also Ultraman?

Naruto, who had been flipping through the manga looking for his own moment of glory, suddenly looked up.

You can read comics anytime, but you rarely get the chance to hear about the shop owner's scandals.

Even the composed Third Hokage and Kakashi paused for a moment.

They pretended to be reading comics, but their attention was actually focused on Murphy.

Their little tricks, of course, did not escape Murphy's notice.

Murphy glanced around with a half-smile, making them feel incredibly pressured.

"That's a long story!"

Just when everyone thought Murphy wasn't going to answer, she spoke up.

Murphy had no intention of hiding his past. He hadn't talked about it before simply because no one had asked.

"As you can see, Belial is an Ultraman from the Land of Light. In his youth, he became famous for his immense strength and outstanding achievements..."

As Murphy recounted his story, everyone finally learned about Belial's background.

The young Belial was once considered the strongest warrior in the Land of Light, with only his close friend Ken able to rival him.

At that time, whether it was himself, his close friends, or others, they all believed that Belial would definitely become the leader of the new generation of the Land of Light.

However, the invasion of the Dark Legion changed everything.

"Your Majesty... the Empera aliens' home planet suffered a similar fate to the Land of Light. The star they depended on for survival went out, and their entire civilization was on the verge of collapse."

"But unlike the Kingdom of Light, which successfully saved itself, His Majesty's civilization failed. In the end, only His Majesty survived and gained unparalleled power. In memory of his ancestors and home planet, His Majesty abandoned his name and took the name of his race. At the same time, he also developed an endless hatred for light and vowed to drag the entire universe into darkness."

Upon hearing this, the guests in the bar gasped.

What are stars?

The one who asked the question was Jaken, who, along with Sesshomaru, had arrived at some point.

"It's the sun. In the universe, there are countless stars that are as bright as the sun, or even brighter."

"What?!" Jaken was startled. Even Sesshomaru, who had been pretending to be expressionless, twitched at the corner of his eye.

Although he always maintains a cool and handsome image in front of outsiders, he actually has a rather rich inner world. Sometimes he'll even say a few witty remarks in front of enemies. Of course, to protect his image, he usually only says this to enemies who are about to be killed.

"If the entire universe were plunged into darkness, wouldn't countless civilizations and lives be wiped out as a result?"

Himeya Jun frowned deeply.
