"What did you mean by those words just now...?"

Hong Kai leaned against the half-broken tree trunk, breathing heavily.

The night breeze blew across his sweat-drenched forehead, and the reason that had been clouded by anger finally returned to his mind.

"Is the game... still going on?"

Hong Kai frowned, looking at the night sky where the card had shattered.

"But the card has already been..."

"wrong."

Hong Kai suddenly realized what was happening.

He had personally used those Ultra Cards, and he knew their strength better than anyone else.

No matter how powerful Jugglus Juggler is, the card containing the light power of Ultraman Taro could never be so easily cut in half and dissipated into the air by him with a single strike.

"unless……"

Hong Kai subconsciously touched his chest.

He could clearly feel that a dark force had indeed surged in and entered his body.

However, he does not feel any discomfort at all.

"By the way, Kai."

Just then, Jugglus's ghostly voice echoed once again in the empty park.

"The zaibatsu meeting to be held in Kyoto the day after tomorrow will also be very exciting."

"But don't worry, someone has already gone there for you. You old bones with your [power] sealed, don't worry about me."

With this abrupt and unsubstantiated announcement, Jugglus Juggler's presence completely dissipated into the night wind.

"..."

Hong Kai stood alone in the desolate park, looking at the mess all around.

"Tch...that bastard."

He muttered a curse under his breath, then punched a tree trunk beside him, smashing a large hole in it.

……

Meanwhile, over Tokyo Bay.

"Hahaha! It went very smoothly! Extremely smoothly!"

The aliens from the Empire stared at the scene on the big screen and burst into maniacal laughter.

"Jugglus has successfully injected the power bestowed by the King into Orb's body, and he has now completely lost his ability to transform."

"Furthermore, he also conveniently destroyed one of Orb's cards, so Orb has no hope of regaining his power!"

The alien from the Empire said with amusement, finally showing a slight change in his opinion of that crazy demon.

"Ah...yes, that's quite unexpected."

The eyes of the Mefilas aliens also blinked, and for a moment their minds were in a daze.

Last night, in order to test Jugglus Juggler's loyalty, he ordered Jugglus Juggler to carry out the mission of "stripping Gai of his power" today.

He had expected Jugglus Juggler to pull some tricks again, but to his surprise, Jugglus Juggler was surprisingly swift and decisive this time.

"..."

The Mefilas aliens suddenly felt that they couldn't quite understand this "time bomb" placed beside them.

This completely illogical behavior, ironically, made him feel a secret unease.

"Something feels off."

Mefilas murmured softly.

"What's so strange about that? That guy is also a member of [Darkness], of course he knows that following [King] is the only way to have a future."

The alien from the Empire was completely oblivious to all of that; it remained immersed in the pride of its plan's progress.

It glanced at the empty seat next to it.

"The Guts aliens' plan has already begun, Orb's power has been sealed, and most of the despair and resentment needed for the King has been collected."

The alien from the Empire became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Soon... this planet will be ours."

Mefilas listened to the Empire alien's words and put aside his doubts, nodding.

"Yes, for our... [Basileus]."

"Basileus? What the hell are you talking about?"

The alien from the Empire turned its head in confusion.

"This is a language from the Byzantine period of humankind on Earth, and it means—[King]."

The Mefilas alien gracefully spread his hands, his voice carrying a poetic quality.

"Hmph, you really enjoy messing around with these useless and rotten things from Earth."

The alien from the Empire snorted coldly.

"Haha, when in Rome, do as the Romans do."

The aliens from Mefilas laughed in agreement.

…………

Chapter 167 You really know Duan Zilian?

"Dahe, bring that bag of cement over here."

"Okay, coming right away!"

The following day, at a construction site in Shinjuku, Nozomi Taiga, dressed in rough work clothes, easily carried two bags of cement weighing over 100 pounds on his shoulders and steadily walked to the designated location.

"Wow, Dahe, you're amazing! You've only been here for one day, but you've done the work of an ordinary worker in three days."

"Looking at your physique, it's a real shame you're not a professional athlete."

Across from him, a man couldn't help but give a thumbs up in admiration.

This man was none other than the Balgi alien who had transformed into human form.

"The more you work, the more you earn. It's not easy to make a living these days."

Taihe Wang put down the cement and responded with a smile.

The Balgi aliens clicked their tongues in amazement.

Due to the recent battles with the super beasts, the government has released a large number of short-term jobs for post-disaster reconstruction, paid on a daily basis.

He originally thought that with his alien physique, he could dominate the place, but he didn't expect that this young man from Earth who just arrived yesterday would work like a perpetual motion machine.

Looking up at the blinding sun overhead, Dahe sighed deeply.

Ever since he was de-shrunken two days ago, his mind has been in turmoil.

"Great River! Did you see that?! That's a capsule monster! That's my dad!"

What?! Your dad's a monster?!

No, no! That capsule monster is my dad's personal partner! That means my dad has come to this Earth too!!

Zero's voice reverberated in Dahe's mind, making his head spin.

【so what?】

[So Orb showed up too, then Rei must be in Tokyo too! You should hurry and go find him, maybe my dad is with him!]

Recalling the excited scene of Zero dancing around, Nozomi Taiga felt a headache coming on.

[Are you kidding me? Tokyo is so big, I can't even figure out a navigation app, how am I supposed to find him?]

At that moment, Taiga Nozomi looked completely devastated.

He remembered that Duan Zilian, like himself, didn't have much money.

I had followed Zero's nonsensical directions all the way to this ridiculously expensive central area of ​​Tokyo. It's impossible for Duanzi Lian and the others to stay in such a central and luxurious area, right?

That's what Nozomi Taiga thought at the time.

Forced by circumstances, he had no choice but to find a short-term job here to earn some money for travel and food.

"Hey, Dahe."

The Balgi alien patted him on the shoulder.

"It's almost noon now, shall we grab some lunch? We have even more work to do this afternoon."

"Oh, I'm sorry, uncle."

Taiga Nozomi took off his helmet, shook his head, and his eyes became somewhat serious.

"I'm going to be fired after I finish this morning's work. I came here to find someone, so I have to leave now."

"Eh? What a pity, there aren't many capable young men like you anymore... no, great young men."

The Balgi alien looked regretful and casually tried to get on his good side.

"Who are you looking for? Tell me, I know this area well, maybe I know them."

Actually, this is just a standard social politeness that the Balgi aliens learned on Earth, pretending to be very helpful and acting like they have a wide network of connections.

What a joke! He's a fake alien, and apart from those few unfortunate friends in the underground tavern, the only human he knows is Duan Zilian.

Surely it's not like this person just happened to be looking for a joke to sympathize with, is it? There's no such thing as a coincidence in this world.

"You probably don't even know this... Never mind, it doesn't matter if I tell you."

Dahe Wang unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, took two gulps, and said casually.

"I'm going to find someone named Duan Zilian."

"Ah, Duan Zilian, what a pity I don't know her... huh?"

The polite smile on the Balgi alien's face instantly froze, his eyes filled with a sense of devastation at being mocked by the world's malice.

"What's wrong? Uncle, the way you look... Do you really know him?!"

Taiga Nozomi keenly sensed something was amiss from the other person's emotions.

……

"I'm very sorry, Minister, my phone broke by accident yesterday, and it was just repaired today."

"Shinomiya-kun, everything is fine. My phone bravely sacrificed itself yesterday and was only salvaged today. I'm sorry to have worried you."

As soon as Duan Zilian turned on her computer after leaving the repair shop, she quickly sent a notification message to the two people.

A few seconds later, he received an "Mm" from Line and a "Received" from his email.

"Am I reporting my itinerary to my superiors...?"

Duan Zilian reluctantly put away her phone, but her thoughts became somewhat heavy.

This morning, when he and his future wife woke up, they saw an extremely horrifying scene.

Hong Kai actually got up earlier than them, and he was sitting upright on the sofa, studying a book called "Dark Psychology".

"Kaisang, don't you want to be a wanderer and instead become a psychologist?"

Duan Zilian asked in shock at the time.

Hong Kai simply smiled and closed the book, casually saying, "It's always good to have more skills; one is never too old to learn."

But having spent so much time with Hong Kai, Duan Zilian and Wei Lai both caught a hint of unease in Hong Kai's forced smile.

He is hiding something extremely important.

Thinking about how Hong Kai mysteriously went out to meet Jugglus last night, Duan Zilian felt an even stronger sense of unease.

"What exactly happened... Could Jugglus Juggler really be the enemy?"
