However, just as Captain Gentoo and Daigo were thinking about finding some time to reveal their identities to Leo, Leo's furious voice came through the communication channel, "Don't talk nonsense! That's not me!"
Leo quickly clarified the fact that he was still there, thinking to himself that it was a good thing he hadn't agreed, otherwise he would have become the human host whose identity was exposed the fastest in history. Are all people from the Land of Light so simple and crude?
"Ah, Vice Captain Leo, you didn't turn into Ultraman?" Gondo quickly contacted Leo, only to receive a curt reply from him, "Of course! With so many people watching, what would happen if I really became Ultraman?"
"I'll settle accounts with you later for the Prometheus incident. Hurry up and seal all the data; we'll need it later!"
Upon hearing Leo's words, Quan Teng nodded hurriedly and went about his business. He could not escape responsibility for this incident, but accountability would have to wait until after this matter was over.
As soon as Max landed, he seemed to sense something. He tried to clench his fist and was surprised to find that his energy could be replenished on this earth. Although the light energy here was certainly not as abundant as in the Land of Light, he could indeed feel the replenishment.
This is great! You see, back on Earth where Kaito and his friends were, their energy was never replenished, and every battle consumed it, so they had to use it sparingly.
Here, as long as there isn't a battle every day, I can recover on my own, and I don't even need a human host; I can transform into a human myself.
Max assumed a fighting stance, and just as Leo had expected, the Sphia and Monera aliens treated him as an enemy the moment he appeared. The Five Emperors, the Sphia Sphere, and Galanda all charged toward him.
The enemy was numerous, but Max no longer had much to worry about in terms of energy consumption. With a flash of Max Spark in his left hand, he spun around and created more than a dozen clones of himself, leaving everyone stunned.
"This Ultraman's strength... is quite impressive." Captain Gento and the others were a bit stunned. What kind of move was this? They wanted to learn it. Leo even subconsciously took out his Dark Spark. He had an urge to turn Max into a Spark Doll and use it himself.
Max and his clones rushed forward. He punched Galanda, and hiss, that's too hard. His clone punched the Five Emperors, and hiss... how come that one is so hard too?
Although he wasn't particularly confident in his own strength, Max figured he was considered quite strong in the Land of Light, so why were all the monsters here only at this level?
Max raised his hand and took off the head crest, severing the whip hand of the Five Emperors. Relying on his clones and excellent fighting skills, he was able to fight a group of monsters and even gain a slight advantage. Sure enough, those who were sent here all had some skills.
(This Ultraman is pretty strong; if you include all his skills, he might be stronger than Grozam.)
Ampera was thinking that if his four Heavenly Kings were to encounter Max, they would probably all suffer a loss, since Max's overall level was not bad, and his skills and fighting were quite outstanding.
"Are your Dark Four Heavenly Kings really that weak?" Leo was quite surprised. He thought that those chosen by Emperor to be the Four Heavenly Kings should all be very strong. It was one thing that Desrem was a strategist, but Grozam, the powerful general, should be one of the more capable fighters, right?
Max's strength is certainly good, but Leo seems to be about the same as Miss Zetton from half a month ago, and his weaknesses are also very obvious. Is he even stronger than a powerful general?
“It’s the strength of your Earth that’s not right!” Emperor retorted. The Dark Four were at least worthy of her approval, so they couldn’t possibly be weak.
However, Leo encountered far too many formidable opponents here, such as the Five Emperors, which are over 600 meters tall, and EX Pedanium Zetton, which are things you can't easily find outside.
It's likely that the Land of Light sent Max, whose strength is comparable to that of the Ultra Brothers, out of caution. After all, they're here to help; they can't just stand by and watch.
"Leo, I'm here." Eleking dispelled her invisibility and appeared beside Leo. She was still wearing a white dress, a new one Rainbow Kagaki had bought for her, and it looked very pretty. "How's your new dress?"
“It looks great, especially on you.” Leo gently stroked Ellie’s head. “I need your help with something next.”
Leo's gaze fell on the computer demon Desfasa, who had been completely still since the beginning. From the moment he transformed into a robot, control of Desfasa had fallen into Leo's hands.
Rui Kisara, who was being controlled, did not understand what was happening. Everything in the system was working normally, but Desfasa just wouldn't listen to her commands.
"Move, Desfasa, why aren't you moving?"
The Monera aliens began to suspect that the system malfunctioned because they had used Gobniu metal, which they had not studied in depth.
The next moment, Desfasa lit up, and the laser-rotating machine guns on his left hand and shoulders opened fire on the Sphia sphere in the sky, while his entire body opened missile launchers and bombarded the Sphia.
With continuous adjustments to the plan, the firepower of the Prometheus has been greatly improved compared to the initial design. Leo remembers that it originally only had laser machine guns and Max cannons, but now it is also equipped with 400 missiles and a shield generator.
Captain Stringman and his men were completely bewildered, not knowing what was going on, when suddenly the entire Divine Eagle sounded an alarm, followed by a violent shaking. "What's happening?"
"There's a strong electromagnetic interference! No, we can't control it anymore, Captain..." Red Kai looked up and saw that his captain had already taken out his Blaze Crystal, clearly prepared for a crash.
On the ground, Leo pointed to the Flying Swallow II piloted by Gamu and Fujimiya, and the EXJ Alpha and Beta piloted by Daigo and Fujiwara Juri, saying, "Good job, take down these three too."
"Is this really alright?" King Elek was a little surprised, as this was the first time he had attacked an allied force.
"They're all Ultraman, nothing will happen to them, so a plane crash won't cause too much trouble for the maintenance team."
Leo waved his hand, and sure enough, the next second six beams of light appeared simultaneously. Apart from Cosmos and Nexus, who had not yet crashed, all the other Ultramen arrived and joined the battle.
Max, who was fighting hard, saw that there were suddenly six more friendly forces and wondered if he was seeing things. Captain Zoffy hadn't said that anyone else had been sent besides him.
"We're locals." Hong Kai transformed into his Thunder epaulettes, patted his chest, and charged towards a Five Emperors.
Captain Stringman and his men deeply resented the Five Emperors. The Australian branch defense force was wiped out right before their eyes to buy them time. At that time, their strength had not yet fully recovered, so it was one thing, but now that they had recovered a lot of strength, of course they wanted revenge.
Nexus appeared as a young man in red, Daigo as a powerful red man, Captain Stringman wielded the Spiral Ballad in his left hand and the Thorchic Stone Sword in his right, Justice immediately activated Shatter, and Gaia and Agul drew their lightsabers.
Desfasa immediately activated the new Max Cannon and took down one of the Five Emperors and Geronda with a single shot. Then, he stood with the newly appeared Eleking.
Upon seeing this, Max immediately became alert. Tiga patted him on the shoulder and, upon seeing Eleking, understood what was going on. "It's alright, we're on the same side."
"Our own people?" Max found it incredible. Then, he saw several super beasts that had appeared in the textbooks, as well as a bunch of Zettons, appear behind Eleking at the same time, while the other Ultramen and humans seemed completely used to it.
What kind of absurd situation is this Earth? Should I invite Captain Zoffy over?
Chapter 184 Max: ?
As the saying goes, "When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their will, strains their muscles and bones, starves their body, and then empties their resources."
But Leo always felt that what was falling from the sky was not a great responsibility but a great fortune, and that God was trying to crush him to death.
Looking at the chaotic battlefield before them, the defense forces in the sky couldn't even find a chance to intervene. The main reason was that the ESCG crashed inexplicably just a few minutes into the event, leaving everyone puzzled.
"Why did Captain Gento and his team crash their plane for no apparent reason?" Gondo really couldn't understand it.
"Because the Desfasa has electromagnetic interference capabilities, it was specifically designed by the enemy to target us."
Leo lied without batting an eye, mainly because Sphia and Monera were already fighting like buddies, and it might be dangerous for Max to fight alone, so it was best to have Eleking crash their plane.
The Monera aliens have clearly realized a problem: they are no match for Softia or the Ultramen.
The Monera aliens' original plan was quite good; if they were to unleash a bunch of computer demons like Desfasa, they would indeed be difficult to deal with. However, the only one they had was stolen at some point.
Moreover, as long as the wormholes in the sky remain open, the Specia are endless. After seeing Ultraman Blaze and others appear, they stopped pretending and brought out EX Pedanium Zetton, Chaos Ultraman, and so on.
Seven Ultramen here seem like a lot, right? But over there in Softia, there are thirteen Chaos Ultramen.
Max was stunned. He even wondered if he had offended Captain Zoffy in some way, that he would have to come to this place to play this kind of game.
Also, why do all the Ultramen around me look like they've been used to this for a long time, with expressions that say "this is the right way"?
"Sigh, every time we fight Sphia, it always ends up like this." Daigo sighed. They relied on sheer numbers to overwhelm the enemy, but the enemy had even more.
"These guys are really going to keep going." Gaia and Agul slammed a Galanda nine times until it was unconscious.
“However… we have quite a few people on our side too.” Justice and Gai glanced at Eleking and Leo’s monster army, which was wreaking havoc.
The monsters under Leo's command are never just about brute force; they have a clear division of labor and are highly tactical.
The powerful super beasts were responsible for suppressing and attacking the Sphere of Softia, while EX Pedanium Zetton went to confront the same type of Sphere of Softia. The three Zettons surrounded and beat up Chaos (Chaos) Ultraman.
As for Eleking, this girl could have easily beaten the other side head-on, but I don't know where she learned some underhanded tricks, like electromagnetic invisibility, to hide in the shadows and launch sneak attacks.
However, the number of Specia was still greater. Max had just used up a lot of energy to create a clone and hadn't recovered yet. He raised his hand to release the Maxium Ray, and then... it was blocked by the Five Emperors' Specia Barrier.
No, is this kind of thing—thick-skinned, strong, with AOE firepower and a light barrier—something that even humans could come up with?
Seemingly noticing Max's surprise, Orb patted him on the shoulder. "See that spot at the very top? That's called Melba. Just aim there; that's its weak point."
After Orb finished speaking, he transformed into Power Type Tiga, leaped up, and delivered a powerful chop to the head of the Five Emperors, causing it to stagger backward in excruciating pain, staring at Tiga with a look of terror.
To deal with tough opponents like the Five Emperors, Daigo now applies a buff before each fight. His control over energy is the strongest among all the Ultras, and his explosive punches are always accurate.
As for Blaze, Justice, and Orb, all three rely on their strength to fly, especially Justice, who can even dismantle Bishop Groca in Smash Mode.
The locals' (?) fighting style was a bit too efficient. Max was quite shocked, but before he could finish being shocked, a hand was put on his shoulder and patted him, indicating that he should make way.
Max instinctively shifted his body to glance behind him, then was so startled that he immediately moved away at high speed. What the hell could an evolved Lagras be here?!
Evolved Lagras ignored Max's wariness of it. Leo's command to it was to blow up everything on the other side, and he even specially supplied it with a lot of energy.
So, Evolution Lagrass showed off its superior stats to Sphia, unleashing a barrage of Super Temperature Difference Rays. Just as the Sphia chimeras were about to deploy their barriers, the defense team interrupted them, and then a single Super Temperature Difference Ray carried them away.
Max pondered for a moment, and with this level of firepower, he suspected that there was another Goldler alien crammed into this evolved Lagras.
"That move is still so powerful." Blaze couldn't help but sigh. Back then, everyone was almost unable to lift their heads because of this move.
It just goes to show that times have changed. Although we don’t know who Nix is who controls the monsters, he can keep taking the defeated monsters under his control. At first, it was only Zetton, but now… we can only be thankful that he is an ally.
Leo glanced at it and, having roughly confirmed that Sphia wouldn't cause any more trouble, released the rest of his assets.
Of course, he himself would not transform into Ultraman Chaos, because he was afraid that his allies would mistake him for someone else and beat him up as well.
"Vice Captain Leo, how's the situation on your end?"
"It's alright, there's no need to worry about Captain Stringman and the others' safety. I'm looking for an opportunity to see if we can take back the Prometheus."
"We need to get the Prometheus back, but..." Gondo wanted to say, "But the Prometheus is now considered an ally, and more importantly, the risk is too great."
Leo has almost repaired the Beta Machine so it can fly again. The damage wasn't that serious to begin with. "I know, but the Prometheus is the result of TPC's research. How can we just hand it over to someone else? We must take it back!"
"I'm not doing this for you, Gondo. It's about future plans. Earth and humanity do need the power of the Prometheus. At worst, we can just mass-produce one and send it to that guy called Nix."
After saying that, Leo piloted the barely repaired Beta Machine into the battlefield, heading straight for the Prometheus. Gondo was moved to tears and speechless, only hoping that Leo would have a safe journey.
(Making it sound like some grand gesture, is this how you plan to return Desfaza to them?)
"With Galatrom around, we never have to worry about technology, but TPC's firepower is indeed no longer sufficient for future needs."
"Ultimately, the Earth belongs to Earthlings. Humans should at least have the power to protect themselves. If the first Prometheus is lost right after it is built, the blow to morale will be too great."
For Leo, Desfasa wasn't that important at all. The new Max cannon had actually been made by Galatrom long ago, and the Galaoguma Legion was equipped with it, but they just hadn't used it.
However, the Prometheus is too important for humanity. This powerful warship is a guarantee for the future, and Leo will definitely return it.
"Whatever you want, you can't do anything wrong anyway." Empera fully supported Leo's choice.
This battle wasn't too difficult, and there weren't any opponents who were far beyond expectations. The main reason was that the Sphias lost interest after discovering that Leo had taken Desfasa. They knew very well that what Leo had taken was gone forever.
Take Judas for example. If he were standing right here today, King Grant would slap him twice.
Everyone says that Sphia is a rogue, but Leo is clearly even more unreasonable. Since we can't get Desfaza, there's no need to waste any more time. Once we've collected enough data, we'll prepare to retreat.
Leo felt that the Monera aliens must have a backup plan. They couldn't possibly expect these dozen or so Galandas and one Desfasa to take over Earth, could they?
Seeing their Galanda monsters completely wiped out and Desfasa stolen, the Monera aliens were enraged. When had they, who considered themselves an advanced civilization, ever suffered such a loss?!
Seeing that Sphia had shut down the wormhole and escaped, and that most of the remaining monsters had been eliminated, Max finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected his first battle on Earth to be so difficult.
No wonder Captain Zoffy didn't send Mebius. If he had encountered this situation upon arrival, Mebius would probably have been recalled to the Land of Light the very next day.
"It's almost over," Max said with a sigh.
“Yes, the first phase is almost over.” Orb nodded.
Max was completely confused. What did he mean by "the first phase is almost over"? Did it mean it wasn't over yet?
"Sigh, this game was too easy. I wonder what will happen next."
Gaia clenched his fist. If things went wrong, he, Agul, and Orb would immediately merge together on the spot. Max, on the other hand, was increasingly puzzled as he listened.
The last Chaos Ultraman was defeated by Eleking's Hell Sword, and the rest were no match for him. Unfortunately, Softia had learned its lesson and would self-destruct whenever it saw Leo pull out the Dark Spark, giving him no chance at all.
"The Monera aliens must be getting restless," Leo muttered, then typed 2887 as he flew to Desfasa and parachuted out.
The plane crashed into the face of the last of the Five Emperors and exploded. Leo himself landed on Desfasa. Since he had transformed from the Prometheus, he left a path leading directly to the cockpit.
The door was locked, so Leo punched it down and then crawled inside.
This whole operation left everyone stunned. No, bro, you punched right through a door made of Goblin metal?
"Is this still human..." Gondo muttered to himself, but quickly shook his head. "Having made so many contributions and risked his life so many times, what else could he be but human?"
Leo is of course human, what else could he be but human? Quan Dong told himself this. Even if he were to be executed after this incident, he wouldn't care. He only hoped that Leo would be safe and sound.
TPC can live without itself, but it cannot live without Prometheus, nor can it live without Leo.
Leo was very fast. By the time he arrived at the control room in Desfasa, Kisaragi Rui, who was being controlled by the Monera aliens, had already surrendered. Just kidding, someone who could punch through Gobnew Metal could easily punch through her too.
"You're not human, are you?" Ruyue Rui stared intently at Leo. She didn't believe that humans could do these things, and considering Leo's previous behavior, she finally understood why Desfasa was out of her control.
"What makes you presume my race?" Leo immediately adopted an old American accent. "You're an invader from outer space, and you dare say I'm not human?"
Leo would certainly not admit it; it was just out of caution, and his caution was justified, because the Monera aliens were recording, and these guys were still plotting against him at this moment.
Leo was too lazy to waste words with these guys, so he knocked Ruzuki Rui unconscious and pretended to restart the system. Actually, it wouldn't be impossible to have Empera actually modify the system, but that wouldn't fit Leo's character.
Gondo had given up hope, but to his surprise, Desfasa actually rebooted and reconnected to this side.
"Deputy Chief of Staff Gondo, we've connected to Prometheus's main control computer package. Deputy Captain Leo, you've got it done!"
Hearing the voices of the technicians around him, Gondo was so excited that tears streamed down his face. The Monera aliens were also at a loss, but how could they survive in space if they just escaped like this?
Countless tentacles emerged from the Monera aliens' seed ship and burrowed into the ground, causing violent tremors that made everyone lose their footing.
As dust billowed, the entire Monera spaceship transformed into a gigantic monster, over two hundred meters long, resembling both an inkfish and a plant.
So this is the second phase, huh? Max is already considering whether to issue an Ultraman signature that spans the universe. Is he really going to have to fight this kind of monster on his very first day here?
