The Dimensional Tavern of the Mefilas Alien

"So they're the Magma aliens' expeditionary force!"

Murphy's emotions fluctuated dramatically at the mention of the Magma aliens.

"It's all those bastards' fault, otherwise my bar business wouldn't be so bad!"

Although he has now gotten on the right track thanks to the guests from other dimensions, he will never forget that it was because of them that his carefully selected prime location became deserted.

Murphy then sighed.

Having lived for tens of thousands of years, he had witnessed countless deaths. Raiting's death not only marked the departure of yet another familiar face from an old era, but also seemed to symbolize a certain beginning:

The next few decades will be a period of frequent monster outbreaks on Earth. He may also witness the departure of many familiar faces.

"Your Majesty!" Murphy sighed inwardly.

His memories from his past life were only those related to Ultraman, especially those from the Showa era.

If I remember correctly, the Alien Empera doesn't have many years left to live.

When Mebius finally completes his training and comes to Earth, he will be defeated by Mebius and Hikari because he doesn't know how to maneuver properly.

This is why Murphy always secretly thought he was a crippled emperor.

Of course, saying that he doesn't know how to move is just a joke.

Based on Murphy's understanding of the Empera aliens, if he doesn't move, it's most likely because he can't move anymore.

In comparison, he still felt that going to war without bringing all the equipment was a much more abstract issue.

Thinking of this, Murphy suddenly glanced again at Bogaru, who lay there looking utterly dejected.

It was only when he thought of Hikari that he remembered. Apparently, in the original timeline, it was this guy who killed Hikari's wife, which led to Hikari's temporary descent into darkness.

Hikari's descent into darkness further plunged Tregear into confusion. As time went on, Tregear truly became obsessed and ultimately fell into darkness as well.

Thinking about it this way, I'm actually their benefactor! After all, if I hadn't saved Belial back then, he would never have had the chance to investigate Planet D60; if he hadn't investigated Planet D60, Bogaru wouldn't have been captured; if Bogaru hadn't been captured, Hikari would have died and his wife would have turned evil; and Tregear would have turned evil too.

Thinking about it carefully, I realized I had done them a great favor! Even the Land of Light had been saved by me several times without my knowledge!

"Your Land of Light owes me a huge favor."

Murphy said sternly, "Just because I saved Hikari's wife, he should share his life solidification technology with me!"

"What nonsense is this? Let's go, let me check on Naruto's condition." Belial was completely bewildered, not understanding what Murphy was talking about.

Hikari practically lives in the Science and Technology Bureau's labs, so where did his wife come from? Are you referring to the experimental equipment?

Murphy was quite unhappy and decided that he would visit the Science and Technology Bureau more often when he had time, otherwise he would really be missing out.

In the laboratory, Naruto couldn't help but shrink back when he saw Belial.

Unlike Murphy, who was usually warm and approachable, Belial was incredibly intimidating. He had also given Murphy a real fright upon their first meeting, so Murphy was somewhat afraid of him.

Beria remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was somewhat frustrated.

Although he has a rather rough personality and is particularly strict with young warriors, the fact that children are afraid of him still makes him feel a sense of frustration, as if he has failed to live up to his Ultraman reputation.

(The pictures of Bogaru that I forgot to post in the previous chapter were all too large to be clear, so I'm posting this one instead. Please bear with it.)

Chapter 134 Freedom!

Nine-Lama gazed at Bogaru in Beria's hand, his heart filled with awe.

Its senses have always been very strong, so it was even more able to sense the power of that Bogaru.

Even after being severely injured by Belial, it still exuded an aura that made Kurama's heart tremble.

With just one glance, the Nine Lamas understood: it was an absolute predator that completely surpassed ordinary creatures and occupied the top of the ecological niche!

Just as Kurama was feeling a chill, Bogaru glanced at Naruto with his one eye and immediately became excited.

That child possesses energy of extremely high purity!

If I can swallow him, I might be able to regain some strength and escape from here!

With the hope of survival within reach, Bogaru stretched her neck toward Naruto without hesitation, and her two wings, which had been blown apart and were now just stubs of roots, also rose up.

It mustered its last bit of strength, trying to devour Naruto while Belial was distracted.

However, before it could even react, Belial had already noticed. But before Belial could act, chains appeared from the void, binding Bogaru firmly.

"Naive." Murphy thought Bogaru was overthinking things.

He's not Hikari, how could he not take the lab's security seriously?

"No!"

Bogaru was utterly desperate. It never imagined that its last gamble would fail so easily.

"call!"

Jiraiya dispersed the chakra in his palm.

He had actually sensed Bogaru's murderous intent. Although he had no chance of success, he had to take the risk for Naruto's sake.

Fortunately, things didn't turn out the worst possible way.

"Was this guy trying to attack me just now?"

Naruto belatedly realized what was happening.

He was a little scared at first, but when he saw Murphy and Jiraiya beside him, he immediately felt at ease.

'It seems that once Kurama is freed, I'll have to take Naruto out for some training!'

Seeing Naruto's completely relaxed demeanor, Jiraiya made up his mind.

Belial used the Golden Binding Technique to place another layer of restraint on Bogaru.

The Bogaru clan is truly not to be underestimated. Apart from that powerful and evil Bogaru, the vitality of these ordinary members of the clan is also surprisingly strong.

However, this is for the best. The stronger its vitality, the better it will be as a substitute for Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Huh, are we going to use this guy to replace Kurama?" Naruto asked with a look of resistance. "It's so ugly!"

Before Beria could speak, Bogaru became enraged.

Being captured was bad enough, but to be sealed inside this mentally challenged child was an utter disgrace. And now, it was even being looked down upon by this mentally challenged child?

What a joke! Among the Bogaru clan, it's already considered a great beauty!

However, it was unaware of this. Because he became a Jinchūriki at birth and was constantly treated coldly by the villagers, Naruto became extremely sensitive to the emotions of others.

Although it wasn't as powerful as the Uzumaki clan's bloodline limit, it was enough for him to sense Bogaru's malice and evil intentions.

That's why Naruto instinctively felt that it was hideous.

"Moreover, the shopkeeper said that as long as I keep some of Kurama's chakra in my body, I won't have to worry about my life being in danger."

Beria paused for a moment: "Have you already found a solution?"

He felt disappointed; it turned out he had made a wasted trip!

Just as he was feeling down, Naruto suddenly came up to him.

"Thank you, Uncle Ultraman!"

Naruto gave him a big smile.

Thank you for your concern!

Beria's bad mood immediately improved.

He suddenly understood why some Ultraman were so fond of other weaker civilizations.

Such gratitude, devoid of any ulterior motives, is truly precious.

"Alright, now that you're here, come and lend a hand."

Murphy ordered Beria around without any politeness.

Although he was confident he could break the seal and release Kurama on his own, Belial's help would make things easier and ensure Naruto's safety.

Working together, the two quickly completed the division of the Nine Lamas.

Beria played a significant role in this area.

While Murphy is undoubtedly very strong, Belial is a true warrior, and in terms of the diversity and skill of his abilities, he is far superior to Murphy.

"And then...hypnosis!"

Murphy used his superpowers to distort Naruto and Kurama's perceptions, strengthening their desire to separate. Then, with Bruton's help, Kurama "popped!" out of Naruto's stomach.

This time, Murphy combined several of his previous plans.

With a whoosh, Jiula landed and transformed into a huge fox over two meters tall.

Murphy snapped his fingers, dispelling the hypnosis, and reached out to touch Kurama's fur: "I didn't expect that as an aggregate of chakra, you would feel almost like a real living being."

Nine-Lama raised its paws, shook its ears, and flicked its tail.

"Am I really free?" Having been sealed away for many years, Kurama still felt a little unreal upon suddenly regaining his freedom.

"Great, Kurama!" Naruto jumped into Kurama's arms. "So soft!"

Naruto smiled happily. He had wanted to do this for a long time.

"Naruto!"

Seeing that Naruto was alright, Kurama was relieved.

"How are you feeling?" Jiraiya asked Naruto anxiously. "Is anything bothering you?"

Naruto frowned and thought for a long time, then patted his stomach: "I feel... a little hungry!"

"Thump!" Jiraiya fell to the ground.

He worried about it for so long, and sure enough, I'll have to take him out for some proper training later!

Kurama looked at Naruto with gentle eyes, and quietly rolled his large tail over to wrap around Naruto.

He had already accepted Naruto, and if he weren't too embarrassed to change his mind, he would have already made complete peace with Naruto and made him the perfect Jinchuriki. Now that he knows Naruto is the reincarnation of Ashura, his goodwill towards him is even stronger, and his affection level has skyrocketed.

But the thought of how he had been controlled by that evil Uchiha and caused the death of Naruto's parents made Kurama extremely agitated.

It's a pity the manga hasn't revealed that guy's true identity yet. Otherwise, I would definitely go after him to get my revenge.

But everyone is happy now, and Nine Lama doesn't want to talk about these unpleasant things.

He then turned to Murphy and Beria, bowing his head obediently: "Thank you both so much for your help! I am deeply grateful for this kindness!"

Murphy waved his hand: "No need to be so formal. It's just a transaction. Just remember to raise the money as soon as possible!"

"What?" Belial was slightly surprised: "You actually accepted money?"

"You don't think I'm running a charity, do you? This is a huge venue, and money is needed everywhere. How can it operate without charging money?"

Murphy angrily banged on his lab bench.

"Even my equipment is third-rate stuff that the legion discarded!"

His laboratory on Mefilas was public property. While no one would object to taking it, Murphy, having regained public support, wasn't so shameless anymore. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such dire straits now.

Beria sighed.

This guy probably just didn't want Naruto and Kurama to be under too much pressure, so he framed all of this as a transaction, right?

In the parlance of the guests at the bar, this should be called being arrogant, right?

Not wanting to embarrass Murphy, Beria didn't dwell on the matter. He simply pointed at Bogaru: "Anyway, this guy's useless now. It's yours. Plus the part I helped with, how about we give them a discount?"

He hadn't considered paying off Naruto and Kurama's entire debt directly.

While Ultraman protects the weak, they don't blindly act as babysitters.

They actually hope that everyone can be self-reliant and strong. The existence of Ultraman is mostly a safety net: when the weak encounter evil that they cannot defeat even with all their might, Ultraman will act as a miracle, responding to the call of the people.

Of course, theory is one thing. But most Ultraman are overly gentle and rarely have the patience to endure that much.

There might even be an ultimate lover like Seven in the future: willing to blow up the Land of Light for the sake of Earth. Even Leo, who was born in L77 and considers Earth his second home, isn't as extreme as him.

"can."

Murphy has never really cared much about profits. Otherwise, he would have already kicked out those ordinary customers at the bar who didn't contribute much revenue.
