Bighorn Bull is in charge of leading, and I, Beria, am in charge of raising it.

The only downside is that curing these monsters is far more difficult than Belial had imagined.

The reasons for this can be divided into two major problems.

First, those creatures that were forcibly modified by the king as biological weapons had their original independent consciousness largely erased.

This means that even if their injuries can be healed, or even if they are restored to their original human form, they will become completely new individuals with no connection to their original state due to the loss of their memories and consciousness.

This is why, when Belial faced the grieving survivors, even though he knew that many of the capsule monsters he possessed were likely their beloved family members, he never mentioned the existence of the "capsule monsters" to them, even after escorting them to their new home and embarking on their journey back to the Land of Light.

Because in Beria's view, making promises before one is capable of fulfilling them is not an act of redemption...

Instead, in their despair of knowing their children are still alive but being unable to do anything about it, they take matters into their own hands and push them into an even more cruel and desperate hell!

Another reason why the Land of Light's technological level is so challenging lies in the genes of these monsters.

Although these monsters are all modified from humans and have extremely similar genes.

But that ruthless king, in order to explore the upper limit of their race's genetic potential, implemented different genetic modification programs on each victim!

Consequently, if these monsters are to be restored to human form, or at least regain some independent consciousness, completely different repair plans need to be designed for each individual, undoubtedly increasing the workload exponentially!

Even the current director of the Space Science and Technology Bureau, who is the most senior member of the bureau and is widely recognized as a good-natured person, remained silent for a long time when he saw the complete body examination data report generated by the professional equipment scan.

Having reviewed Belial's report and learned that these hideous monsters were once innocent children, this elder, who had somehow innately learned the ability to "switch forms" and quietly transformed from the "Blue Tribe" to the "Red Tribe," turned expressionlessly to look at Belial. He inquired about the king's burial location, claiming he suddenly wished to visit him.

Hmm, to be able to anger such a kind-hearted person to the point of turning red on the spot, even to the point of wanting to personally dig up the king's grave and whip his corpse...

Thinking about it this way, that king has certainly made his mark on history...

As for what name was left...

Then don't worry about it!

Fortunately, although it took far longer than Belial had anticipated, thanks to the advanced technology of the Land of Light and the combined efforts of so many Ultramen, these monsters not only survived but also showed a positive recovery trend.

After a long and arduous effort, all the monsters were finally freed from the control of these mechanical devices and regained a certain degree of independent consciousness!

Unfortunately, the Land of Light, constantly illuminated by the Plasma Spark Tower, is not a suitable place for these monsters to live.

So, after requesting a meeting with the elders and presenting his ideas, Belial, having received permission, once again collected these monsters into capsule monsters and sent them into the vast depths of space. He transported these monsters to another nebula adjacent to the M78 nebula. There, he found a planet with a mild climate, lush vegetation, and no history of intelligent civilization, and released the recovered monsters into this new home.

Of course, Belial's initial idea was simply to find a suitable new home for these monsters.

However, Beria has clearly forgotten the leading role he plays, whether intentionally or unintentionally, as a public figure.

As time went on, more and more Ultra Warriors began to emulate Belial's actions, actively healing the kind monsters. After healing them and determining that they did not want to return to their home planet or were already homeless, they would send them to settle on this planet.

This led to a continuous increase in the number of monsters contained on the planet.

Furthermore, while the monsters possess limited intelligence, this also means they lack cunning and scheming. They simply remember those who have been kind to them and instinctively strive to repay that kindness. Consequently, they exhibit a level of affinity towards the warriors of the Land of Light far exceeding that of wild monsters.

Furthermore, thanks to the capsule containment device of the Land of Light, the Capsule Monster system, which was originally not expected to make its first appearance until the time when Seven was active, and which fought alongside the Giants of Light, has already begun to emerge in the current timeline!

Over time, this unintentional, mutually beneficial friendship made the elders increasingly satisfied with Belial!

Along with this planet chosen by Belial, which was originally unknown, it gradually gained the recognized name of "Monster Ranch" as the number of monsters continued to grow!

This news greatly surprised Beria. He couldn't help but joke privately that the name was somewhat unlucky.

After all, in Belial's understanding, the current Ultra Universe does not yet have a special place called "Monster Graveyard". Now, however, there is a "Monster Ranch" that has never been heard of in the original work.

It's highly unlikely that this "monster graveyard" was created because, during the future invasion of Alien Empera, the monsters, unable to bear seeing their benefactors besieged and isolated, ignored the warnings and dissuasion from the Land of Light and willingly joined the war, only to be ruthlessly slaughtered by the cruel Alien Empera, transforming a vibrant "monster ranch" into a desolate "monster graveyard."

Hahaha, how could it be such a coincidence...

...Hiss...It can't be that much of a coincidence...?

But no matter what, everything is moving in a positive direction, and life goes on day by day in a routine, pleasant and fulfilling way.

Chapter 24 Brothers like you need a constant power source.

And so it went, day after day, year after year...

In the blink of an eye, eighty years had passed since the little girl returned to the Land of Light with Belial—enough for most ordinary humans to live a lifetime. The little girl from back then, due to the characteristics of her race, had grown into the mature and composed woman she is today.

Even so, in the eyes of Belial, who has a lifespan of ten thousand years—or rather, in the eyes of her old father—she is still the same silly child who, at the slightest sound, would be so frightened that she would burrow into his arms and need his company and care.

So much so that today, Beria clenched his fists tightly, then loosened them and clenched them again... repeating this several times, appearing extremely tense.

According to the plan, today is the day when Belial and his daughter are separated from their one-body state, allowing his daughter to step out of her comfort zone of decades, officially bathe in the light of the Plasma Spark Tower, and evolve into a giant of light!

Therefore, although Belial appeared nonchalant, it was clear to everyone that, in order to ensure his daughter's safety, Belial, who never asked for help, had unprecedentedly brought in a complete Silver Cross medical team!

With their experience, combined with the professional rescue equipment they brought...

Don't say that evolution failed.

Even if you suffer a backlash and all that's left in your body is your heart still beating, they can still save your life!

Even so, Belial maintained a solemn expression. He was secretly accumulating energy, determined that if his daughter showed even the slightest sign of discomfort, he would immediately activate a protective shield to forcibly halt the evolution!

Fortunately, she was able to emerge from the pain and shadow of that inhuman torture, which shows that the little girl from back then has long since grown into an outstanding warrior with a firm will.

Therefore, when she severed her bond with Belial and stepped out of the protective barrier, in less than five seconds, her body, which had appeared so petite and delicate compared to the Ultra race, rapidly expanded and grew stronger. Until, under the watchful eyes of everyone filled with blessings, she appeared before them as a brand-new Silver Tribe female Ultra!

"This...this is...my light...is this...my light...?"

At first, seeing her father's fearful expression, the little girl thought this evolutionary journey would be as painful and torturous as the modification surgery she had undergone before. But in order to stay by her father's side, the little girl mustered her courage and took the initiative to challenge the path she had always feared most.

But as a result, without feeling any pain at all, she found herself transformed into a giant of light amidst the cheers of those around her. The little girl, who had been on edge and prepared to endure the pain, was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

It wasn't until I subconsciously turned my head that I noticed my father, whose body had also been tense, had quietly relaxed. And, unusually, he was clapping and celebrating like everyone else.

The little girl's initial surprise was instantly replaced by overwhelming joy and satisfaction. Ignoring the stares of those around her, she skipped and jumped into Belial's arms. After decades, she was finally able to truly embrace her father, the man who had worried so much about her!

"Hehe! Dad! Did you see that? I'm a giant of light now, just like you!"

"I saw it, I saw it, I'm not blind... She completed the evolution so smoothly, no wonder she's my daughter!"

Belial, who was always watching his daughter closely, anticipated her next move almost the instant she made a sound. Instead of trying to save face by keeping his distance in public, he immediately removed his training armor, fearing that the hard metal edges might hurt his precious daughter.

Then, amidst the incredulous exclamations of the crowd around him—especially those passersby who were seeing the "Iron Monger" for the first time—he, with the dashing figure of a top supermodel, confidently opened his arms and steadily caught the silly girl rushing towards him.

Although his tone of response was deliberately relaxed, the undisguised smile betrayed the pride and arrogance surging within him at that moment!

After briefly calming her down and confirming that her daughter had calmed down a bit, Belial, as if remembering something, spoke again, asking slowly and deliberately.

"Now, you've truly been reborn. What name would you like to give yourself?"

It's worth mentioning that because of the cruel torture she endured as an experimental subject, the little girl abandoned her former name, which was haunted by painful memories, after arriving in the Land of Light.

Even Belial and Ken, over the years, have generally referred to the child as "little girl" or "little one," and they have all tacitly refrained from asking her original name.

In Belial's view, now that his beloved daughter has transformed into a giant of light, it means that she has completely emerged from that psychological shadow and is officially embracing a bright future.

That's why, at this special time, he took the initiative to ask about the name, a question that should have been asked decades ago. And with an encouraging look, he handed over the right to name his daughter to herself.

"My name... um..."

Upon hearing this, the girl looked down at her hands, which were completely different from before, and remained silent for a moment.

Then she raised her head and answered in a clear, resonant voice that had remained unchanged for decades.

"Lem, just call me Lim."

"Oh, Lime? That's a good name, Lime... Hmm, it sounds good too. From now on, that's your name!"

When Belial first heard the name "Lyme," he just felt something was off, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

But to avoid disappointing his daughter and damaging her confidence, he still cheerfully praised her. This made the girl's mouth practically curl up to the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the plasma spark tower.

It wasn't until some time later, while working at the Space Science and Technology Agency, that I overheard someone around me mention wanting to develop an artificial intelligence with self-learning capabilities to assist them and reduce the pressure of repetitive and tedious basic work.

Belial was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and stood there dumbfounded.

It was only because a sudden thought flashed through his mind that he finally realized where he had heard the name his daughter had chosen for herself before!

Isn't that the name of the artificial intelligence that Belial developed in the original story?

Even this artificial intelligence, after being anthropomorphized in the story, appears in front of Asakura Riku along with Toba Raiha, staging an alternative version of a chaotic love triangle!

in other words……

In a sense, it's like having a daughter you took in...

Is she actually my future daughter-in-law? My dowry is undermining my bride price?!

Hiss... No, no, no, impossible, absolutely impossible! Even though the Ultraman generational hierarchy is already a complete mess...

But I haven't turned evil yet, which means that brat Geed might not even have a chance to be born.

Even if they were born together, there would be an age difference of at least 100,000 years. How could they possibly end up together?

Hey, you're just scaring yourself...

In this Land of Light where everyone is a saint, surely there isn't some superhuman beast who would actually target someone with an age difference that's tens of thousands of years, right? Hahahaha!

...Hmm? Wait a minute, an age difference measured in tens of thousands of years...

I think I remember now. Back in the Ultra Galaxy movie era, Ken was officially listed as 160,000 years old, while Mary was around 140,000 years old...

Hiss, doesn't that mean...?

Hey?

hey hey?

wrong!

So it turns out I wasn't looking in the wrong direction, or there are just too many people with the same name as Mary, which is why I couldn't find her sooner...

But Mary wasn't even born yet?!

In other words, that damn young calf, Ken, is really having an affair with a young girl?!

You beast! How could you do such a thing!

Bring me ten thousand Elekings and give this lolicon a good shock!

Lost in his own thoughts and unable to control his emotions, Belial, under the horrified gazes of the group of Blue Os around him, crushed a newly developed shield with his bare hands—a shield capable of withstanding a direct hit from the Specium Ray.

This made me feel incredibly conflicted, hesitating whether I should let things take their course or go all out on Jian...

Little did people know that, in reality, Belial wasn't much better than his good brother. In fact, one could say that he was even more "beastly" than Belial.

After all, in the official manga spin-off...

That shameless old man Belial seems to have hooked up with a young girl named Lily?

Then wouldn't the age difference between them be...?

So, Belial-san, stop thinking about just electrocuting your good buddy.

Given your "crimes", these 10,000 Elekings will probably have to be used on you, and even if they are all used, it will still not be enough!

Chapter 25 Stealing the House

Although the Ultra race has an almost endless lifespan, it's quite common for Ultramen who are tens of thousands of years apart to fall in love, just like in those cultivation novels where an old monster who is hundreds or thousands of years old marries a beautiful young female disciple who is only eighteen.

But for Beria, whose soul still retained human thought patterns, once that number took root in his mind, it could never be eradicated.

So, recently, he's been looking at Jian with a strange expression.

That strange feeling wasn't disgust or dislike towards Jian, but rather an extremely subtle mix of complex emotions, including the question of whether I should call the police beforehand.

Jian would occasionally notice his gaze and turn around to ask him what was wrong.

But each time, after a moment of silence, Beria would look away with obvious disdain and say it was nothing.

Jian, who was naturally thick-skinned, didn't press the matter further.

After all, in his opinion, his good brother often fell into deep thought every now and then, and his mind was full of all sorts of wonderful ideas all day long. It didn't matter if he had one more or one less.

Nearly ten thousand years later, their two original instructors had a daughter. Belial, upon hearing the news, brought Lyme and Ken to offer their congratulations...

When they flew to the Silver Cross nursery, a large crowd had already gathered outside. A large portion of them were trainees who had previously received instruction from their instructors.

Meanwhile, the instructor was beaming from ear to ear, accepting congratulations from his comrades while holding the tiny, capsule-like incubator in his arms, showing off his precious daughter's stunning beauty to those around him.

"Look at those eyes, how bright they are! Look at those little corners of the mouth, how spirited they are!"

As the instructor spoke, he carefully tilted the incubator slightly so that the trainees standing nearby could see it more clearly, his tone filled with barely suppressed pride.

"She just smiled at me, did you see that? Just now! She really smiled! She's only been born a short while and she can already smile, what a smart little girl! She'll definitely achieve more than me, her father, in the future! Hahahaha!"
