Am I the only one in this team who is not Ultraman?

"Leo had been paying attention to it since he joined TPC, and later he even had Galatrom investigate it. Galatrom found and recovered the test machine near Pluto, and there was no one in the pilot's seat."

“I asked Sawai, and according to the description of the accompanying testers, the Plasma Hyakushiki turned into a beam of light and disappeared before their eyes.”

After waking up, Renlong had investigated the matter, but it involved the universe, and TPC had very little information.

No one knows where the two missing people went. Galatron couldn't figure it out either, and Leo's investigation remained fruitless.

Leo recounted in detail everything that had happened in the past two weeks, including the affairs of the neighbors. Of course, he talked more about his family, such as how Miss Zetton was actually very greedy and how Dimaga seemed silly but was occasionally very clever.

"I haven't had a proper chat with the uncles and elders on the street for a long time. Mr. Hayata said he was old not long ago, but he still runs so fast."

"Uncle Beidou and Aunt Nanxi's cake shop has recently become popular online, and I heard that many people come to check it out."

"Teacher Takeshi Yato is very worried about the recent educational issues and says he wants to return to teaching."

"Oh right, Ako's true identity is actually a Yapoolian, but she's much kinder. I also have an Imperial Alien and a Balgi Alien under my command."

It's only been a month, but the events that have happened seem endless: the defense team, the amazing logistics staff at the armory, the battles, and the new comrades.

"Everyone here is a remarkable person, working hard to protect the Earth. But I'm not bad either, Grandma. You don't know, but I have quite a bit of influence in TPC now. I'm very capable!"

Just like when you got a high score on a test as a child, you would want to show off your achievement to your family.

Grandma Asami listened with a smile, nodded approvingly, and put little Hilbargon aside.

“I’ve always believed you’re a very smart kid. Even though I haven’t thought about what kind of person you’ll become, I believe you’ll be very successful.”

"But I really didn't expect you to join the defense team and become the vice captain. That's a very impressive position. You've really grown up, Leo."

"More than just a vice-captain," Empera muttered to Leo in his mind's eye. "If this continues, he'll really become the deputy director of TPC."

"This is all thanks to everyone's trust. Everyone is willing to carefully consider my suggestions and follow my instructions, which is why I..."

“But this position must be very tough.” Grandma Asami’s kind eyes were fixed on Leo’s eyes, looking at his charred and tattered uniform. “Don’t put all the burden on your own shoulders, okay?”

The old woman's words were like a needle, piercing through the facade that she had been barely managing to maintain.

No matter how old he gets or what position he holds, in Grandma Asami's eyes, Leo will always be that child who is troubled, worried, and has all sorts of whimsical ideas and great goals.

She could hardly imagine what kind of arduous battle or busy situation it must have been for Leo to rush back to see her without even having time to change his uniform.

And he could only remain a child in her presence.

Leo suddenly couldn't speak. His lips moved slightly and then stopped. Little Gatan nimbly climbed off him and went towards the dragon that had called her. Seele also obediently left.

"After going through so many battles, you must have suffered a lot of injuries. With so much work to do, have you been eating and resting properly?"

Faced with the old woman's concern, Leo's smile was forced, but he still nodded to indicate that it was no problem.

"I wasn't actually injured much. I'm a commander, and I always leave work on time. I don't have much to do..."

Leo couldn't continue speaking. He lowered his head and immediately wiped away the tears that were almost blurring his vision, but he couldn't stop wiping them away. The more he wiped, the more tears flowed, and it felt like something was stuck in his throat and he couldn't get it out.

He bit his lower lip hard, letting out a half-groove between his teeth, which he then swallowed back down, turning into a violent thud of his Adam's apple.

But when Grandma Asami placed her hand on his head, the familiar warmth and scent transformed everything into the whimpering of a young animal.

"Grandma... I... I couldn't save many people. During the incident in Australia, I watched them sacrifice themselves right before my eyes..."

Tears streamed down his cheeks, dripping onto his pants. Leo's cries grew louder, but he forced them back down. He was no longer the little boy who could cry loudly at will.

All the injuries and pressure I've endured over the past two weeks can only be released in this way right now.

Grandma Asami gently patted Leo's back, feeling heartbroken. But she also knew that Leo was just that kind of person; he just wanted to work harder and be more diligent so that more people could be saved or helped.

"Renlong, why is Leo crying?" Little Gatan could clearly sense that Leo's power was much stronger than that of the old woman, yet he seemed to be the weaker one.

"Because from now on, there will be no one left to protect him and listen to his cries." Renlong gently stroked Gatan's head, looking at the two people who looked like mother and son.

While Leo was indeed cared for and raised by Grandma Asami, her life was also brightened by this child she had taken in; she truly regarded Leo as her own son.

Renlong still remembers that last month, after that incident, Leo cried for a long time and never cried like that again. He always shoulders his burdens and inquires about TPC's work to see if he can help in any way.

He grew from a child who needed protection to someone who protects others. Everyone in his family is willing to open their hearts to Leo, but so far, only Grandma Asami has truly reached his heart.

"This is what a mother is like..."

Meifei sighed, then noticed that Renlong's expression was gradually becoming very unpleasant.

"what happened?"

"Something terrible has happened." Renlong put down Little Gatan, his expression serious. "This time the situation is truly dire. Call everyone here!"

............................................................

With the last Astromus being blasted through by Armory King Joe, the battle came to an end. This time, the ESCG members didn't even need to transform.

Are you kidding me? There are only eleven monsters, and we've already fought them once. Not to mention, their weapons and equipment have all been upgraded. If they still need to transform to defeat them, then they should really consider retiring.

The sudden appearance of eleven giant cosmic monsters did cause considerable damage, but fortunately, Magabasa intervened in time, and since the monsters appeared in the still-unreconstructed K region, there were few casualties.

"Pah, I've burned a few of my feathers, but that's the best part. I hope you don't think it's ugly, Boss."

Magabasa put in a lot of effort this time. She knew she wasn't very strong, and most of the time she just acted silly in front of Leo to make him happy. But at times like this, she didn't want Leo to be disturbed.

On the other side, watching Magabasa mutter something softly, everyone lost their curiosity. The monster scholars had been trying to figure out what this guy's habits were all about for so long.

But this time we really have to thank her. Fujiwara Juri piloted King Joe and gave Magabassa a thumbs up, and Magabassa responded by spreading its wings.

However, this does not mean the battle is over. Imeng said with a serious expression, "Captain, the intensity of the magnetic field distortion is increasing, and the distortion range has also increased significantly. The spacetime boundary itself is expanding!"

The spacetime vortex that was originally only covering the K region in the sky has now covered the two surrounding cities, and the dark gray spacetime wall has covered many places. Captain Stringman realized that this matter was going to be very difficult.

"It seems we still need to find a way to limit the expansion of the magnetic field. This is ESCG String People, ground forces, what's the preparation?"

The ground troops were somewhat surprised that Captain Xianren was in command this time, but they still quickly reported it.

"This is the ground forces. The anti-magnetic Magnus 1 beam and the anti-magnetic Krafas 2 beam are ready and can be deployed at any time."

"This is SKIP. The second evacuation has been completed. 138 people were swept away by the space-time boundary and their whereabouts are unknown, including three civilians."

"...Thank you all for your hard work." Captain Stringman clenched his fist. "Anti-dimensional energy irradiation, begin!"

"Received, anti-magnetic Magnus 1 beam, anti-magnetic Krafas 2 beam fired!"

Two fixed turrets on the ground adjusted their angles and simultaneously fired red and blue beams, which converged into a green, diffused beam that struck the spacetime vortex.

With a thunderous roar, a figure suddenly appeared in the space-time realm—a monster at least seventy or eighty meters tall.

It was a golden monster with two horns, which looked a lot like King Silvergon, but even more terrifying.

"Goldras...no, King Goldras!?"

Daigo immediately recognized the monster's identity, and Ime also felt a headache coming on, and couldn't help but cover his head, as if he had remembered something.

However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

"This is Nori from the GUTS team. Something terrible has happened, Captain! Captain Gento, after that monster appeared in front of you, time-space rifts appeared all over the world!"

"Asia, America, Australia and Africa... Good heavens, how is this possible? These spacetime realms are expanding, and it is estimated that they will cover the entire earth in a maximum of four hours!"

"The African branch reports the appearance of Skepis and Saint Delos; the Australian branch reports the appearance of the Five Giant Emperors."

"The European branch has discovered Sphiadinolim, several Ogma Gobunu have appeared in the Americas, and the Destroyer of the Sea has appeared on the Asian coast, oh my god..."

How could it have come to this? Everyone stared in disbelief at Goldras standing in the space-time realm. Did this monster really have such power?

"Fujiwara, pilot the King Joe immediately to the African battlefield to assist in the fighting. Notify all units to launch an immediate attack. Also, have the Science Research Department come up with a plan as soon as possible!"

Captain Stringman immediately determined the battle plan, while wiping away a cold sweat. How could it have turned out like this? Many enemies who should have died had been brought to the present by the distortion of time and space.

Why at this particular time, of all times, must they come to disturb this rare peace?

Chapter 188 Nothing is Unforgettable

The global spacetime distortion caused by Goldras has brought unimaginable chaos. Upon learning of the situation, TPC's Director Sawai immediately declared a state of emergency worldwide.

At the same time, all branches and countries around the world immediately threw themselves into the battle, even bringing in their reserve forces.

Because of this spacetime chaos, many monsters that were previously destroyed, such as Golza, have reappeared. Although they are not very strong, their numbers are considerable, making them quite troublesome to eliminate.

But the most deadly thing was the main battlefields in each region. On the Australian grasslands, Gazort, hovering in the sky, kept attacking the Five Emperors. After realizing that it could not achieve effective results, it decisively chose to self-destruct and sacrifice itself.

The newcomers, who had taken over the responsibilities of their predecessors less than a month ago, gripped the control levers without trembling. Their faces no longer showed the naivety or fear they once had, even though the enemy was such a terrifying monster.

In the past two weeks, although they haven't faced the kind of super-powerful enemies that ESCG often deals with, they have killed thirteen monsters like Huangarula alone, not counting Golza and Melba.

The Science Research Department is trying to force King Goldras out of the spacetime realm. Headquarters has ordered them to hold off the enemy, but how could they be satisfied with just that?

"Listen up, everyone! In order for the souls of our predecessors to rest in peace, we must prove that we are capable of protecting humanity and the Earth, understand?"

"learn!"

The enormous Five Emperors roared as fighter jets swept past it. Now, TPC's equipment has been fully upgraded, and the Divine Eagle and EXJ are being deployed in batches, so it won't be as difficult to face the Five Emperors.

Moreover, under Leo's arrangement, many new equipment were prioritized for supply to Australia, and there were also countermeasures against the Specia Barrier. However, the Five Emperors were too large, and even Gazot's self-destruction could not achieve much effect.

In Tanzania, Africa, the reappearance of Santoro and Skopje has led to clashes between the region's defense forces and the African Union.

Although King Goldras can summon enemies from the past to the present, the ultimate darkness within Saint Delos has already been absorbed by Leo.

The ultimate darkness exists in a very special form, and it does not change due to spacetime distortion, so Saint Delos's strength has become much weaker.

"The Lions and the Horned Rhinoceroses will deal with Saint Delos, prioritizing its top horn, while the rest will handle Skips."

"understand!"

The first thing the Lions did upon meeting them was to bombard the tubular horn on Saint Delos's back, knowing full well how troublesome the black smoke it emitted was.

"Super Freeze Beam Firing!"

"Super Heat Beam Firing!"

"Texas Beam Fire!"

Three powerful beams struck the horns of Saint Delos, but only destroyed the tips, as Saint Delos's own defenses were also very strong.

However, without the black smoke for the time being, Saint Delos is not as threatening. Even so, it is still a very troublesome enemy, and there are many Skapis cooperating with it. If they escape, there will be endless troubles.

The African branch's combat effectiveness was not the highest to begin with, so dragging things out for too long would be very disadvantageous for them.

Saint Delos was furious and raised his hand to launch a telekinetic destruction blast at EXJ in the air, but a blue light burst from the sky and knocked him back several hundred meters.

Gauss, who rushed over, did not hesitate and immediately transformed into his Corona Mode. He had no other choice but to become like this.

"This is truly a reliable reinforcement! Everyone, cover Ultraman Cosmos!"

"learn!"

On the coastline of Asia, the Destruction Sea God Gakuzom is being beaten so badly that it can hardly move. In fact, its strength is already considerable, and the Destruction Flying Fish in the sky are also a great trouble.

However, it encountered the Asian branch, the most heavily armed branch in the entire TPC, with seven EXJ fighters, four Shin-Yao fighters, and more than eighty Hien-1 Kai and Hien-2 combined.

Although the presence of many Golza and Melba in the Asian branch forced them to divert resources to support various regions, stopping Gakuzom was still not a problem.

However, King Goldras's influence continues. As long as he lives, the entire Earth will never be at peace, and even now, monsters continue to appear.

"Lava Golza has appeared in Chiba Sea, and Ultraman Max is battling it!"

"The African branch reports that many previously eliminated Gadi have reappeared. The Australian branch reports that it has requested the use of the new Zelda bomb."

"The European branch is currently engaged in battle with Spectralium, and Ultraman Chaos has appeared near Monster Island..."

The defense forces in various places can hold on for now, but as the spacetime expands, the number of monsters appearing due to spacetime distortion will only increase. There are already more than 300 Golza alone in the world!

"Haven't you figured out a way to deal with the spacetime boundary yet?" Staff Officer Fukami asked anxiously.

"Dr. Kisaragi and her team are still conducting research!"

"If this continues, let alone four hours, the entire Earth will be destroyed within an hour."

Staff Officer Nanbara's face was also very grim. Director Yoshioka looked at the global map, which was turning red, gritted his teeth, and turned to leave.

"Yoshioka, what are you going to do?"

"I'm a former navy soldier, I can't just stand by and watch these monsters destroy the earth, and I'm not so old that I can't fly a fighter jet!"

As the two were looking at each other, Ye Rui suddenly stood up in surprise, a look of joy on his face.

"Eleking and Impreza have appeared near Monster Island, and Rainbow Kagaki and Gorgorgon have appeared in Asia!"

"Several super beasts and King Maga Grand appeared in the European region, while Tyrant fought against the Golzaanerba group in the Mongolian region!"

"Gala Oguma has appeared in the Americas, and Zetton and Pedanim Zetton are fighting monsters that have appeared in various places!"

It's obvious that this means Leo's monsters have started working. This incident has become so serious that Galactron has even deployed his own Galaoguma to join the battle.

Of course, considering Galakrond's combat strength, he couldn't unleash too many at once. Firstly, he wanted to conceal some of his power, and secondly, he didn't want to put too much pressure on Earth.
