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

"This matter is actually the fault of the Naga. They suffered a loss somewhere 30 million years ago, but they still haven't changed their ways and call themselves the gods of the universe, engaging in all sorts of invasions and expansions."

Aside from the Naga's allies and slave planets, almost everyone dislikes them. Tilis nodded in agreement. How dare these small fry call themselves gods of the universe? Even Reiblood doesn't have such a big mouth. If it's really about dominating the universe, then it has to be Leo.

"About 20 million years ago, it was a very powerful civilization that had just left its home star system. They possessed a very powerful energy technology that the Naga wanted, but ended up getting beaten up."

Back then, the Naga were very powerful, unlike now where they rely solely on their past achievements. A civilization that could utterly defeat them would naturally be among the top in the entire universe, and everyone believed that the newly emerged civilization would become the ruler of the universe.

"But strangely, only a few hundred years after the Naga were attacked, that civilization suddenly went extinct. If it weren't for my interest in their energy technology and my research on it, I probably wouldn't even know what they were called."

"What are they called?" Tilis asked subconsciously. She had been asking around all day, and all the other aliens were just boasting, only this Miki alien was somewhat honest.

The alien Mickey pondered for a moment, then uttered a single word, "Sphia."

Leo and the others, who also heard this word, had feelings that were many times more complicated than Tilis's.

Chapter 179 Leo's Way of Working Overtime Never Stops

From the moment he sensed the similarities between the light of the Sphia and the light of the Max Power System, Leo began to suspect that there was some special connection between the two. But he never expected that the Sphia had existed for 20 million years.

According to Redell's extensive research and investigation, 20 million years ago, the Sphia civilization had just left its home planet when it encountered the Naga, who were expanding in all directions. A conflict broke out between the two sides, and the Naga's ancestors were severely weakened and forced to restrain their expansionist ambitions.

After that, the Sphia civilization retreated into their own universe, severing all communication with the cosmos. Hundreds of years later, there was no further news of them. Later, the Miki aliens, out of curiosity, went to the Sphia star system and discovered that their entire star system had vanished without a trace.

Thus, the Sphia civilization was declared extinct. They came in haste, without even having a chance to bring any change to the universe, leaving only their name behind. Apart from the Naga, probably no one else could remember them. Even the Miki aliens only knew that the Sphia had a very powerful energy technology.

Needless to say, Leo guessed it was the Max power system, after all, he had personally felt Sphia's energy reaction, but how exactly did Sphia become the monstrous thing it is today?

"It's all the Naga's fault!" Leo couldn't help but curse when he got home, then collapsed on the sofa, suddenly feeling very tired.

Although I absorbed the life energy of so many people during the day and my strength recovered, I also carried so many emotions, which was always a burden on my mind. I was finally able to relax after carrying it all day, and I suddenly felt a little tired.

"What's wrong with the Naga, Leo?" Magabasa rushed into the house. It was rare to see Leo so exhausted. Could it be that some fierce battle had taken place today? Damn it, if only she were stronger. At this rate, she couldn't help Leo at all!

As soon as Little Gatan sensed Leo's return, he quickly got up from Maga Gorgorgon's arms and ran to Leo's side. He was about to climb onto Leo's back to continue sleeping, but then he sensed that Leo seemed to be in a bad mood. "Leo, are you hungry?"

"It's not only when you're hungry that you get in a bad mood. Anyway, Gatan, has your skull not grown in yet?"

“Oh, her skull was taken away by Galatrom as soon as it grew out, saying it was still useful.” Magabasa shifted slightly to avoid being plucked by Gatan again. “Leo, you look tired. Did you have any intense battles today?”

"Not today, but I reckon it'll be soon." Leo counted on his fingers. "It hasn't even been a month yet, but it feels like I haven't had a single day off!"

“I haven’t had a proper rest for a single day.” Empera came out of the Extreme Fighting Device and pondered for a moment. “Since I met this guy, we’ve fought countless battles, big and small. Every time I’m on vacation, something always comes up halfway through.”

Eleking then wrapped her tail around Leo's waist and began to give him electrotherapy. Stimulating the body with appropriate electric current can have a therapeutic effect and accelerate the body's recovery. These were all skills she had just learned.

"Where are Renlong and Rainbow Kagachi?" When Leo returned and didn't see Renlong waiting for him at the door, he realized that she might not be home.

"Sister Renlong has gone to regulate the earth's veins, and Sister Kagachi is adjusting the climate. The seal on the Demon King Beast has been broken, and I think the seal on Maga Orochi is becoming increasingly unstable."

Previously, because Leo and the others did not spend much time eliminating the Demon Beast, the Demon Beast had not yet had time to affect the environment. However, Maga Orochi, as the Great Demon Beast that surpasses all Demon Beasts, has already begun to show its influence even before it has been unsealed.

If it weren't for Rainbow Kagachi regulating the weather during this period, severe climate disasters would probably have already begun in various places. Renlong's adjustment of the earth's veins is also to prevent similar disasters from happening. The most typical example is earthquakes. During this period, the earthquake observation center reported that the forest where Maga Serpent was sealed was shaking continuously.

There's at most a week until Maga Orochi's seal is broken. In this week, we must find a way to improve the strength of the other Ultramen. Leo still remembers all the things Kirino mentioned. Once the Ultramen regain their light, their strength will be further enhanced!

In addition, there's the Evil King. Leo wasn't sure what level the other guy was at, but he was certain that this guy would cause trouble in secret. Then there's Zagi, Sphia, and the Destruction Summoner... Why are there so many things to do? Why is there never enough time?

So tired, I really want to take a nap, but I can't just rest like this. Leo rubbed Gatan's head and sat up, took out his computer and started working again. Although he could have delegated the work to someone else, he was always worried and had to check everything himself, especially the most important projects.

He suspected there was a problem with the construction of Prometheus and would go to check it out himself tomorrow. In addition to King Joe and Atlas, Dr. Yamata had completed three more Max propulsion systems. One of them was assigned to Prometheus, and the remaining two were used for the power plant.

Then there's Dr. Tango's side. With Masaki Keigo's cooperation, the research should be progressing quickly. Garatron is monitoring the situation, so there's no need to worry. However, the weapon to break through the Specia barrier needs to be deployed immediately. Dr. Otomo's research results are also outstanding, and he needs to be rewarded and allocated funds to allow him to conduct further research. It doesn't matter if the speed is fast. Leo can be the final insurance.

Seeing Leo get up and start working again after only a few minutes of resting at home, Magabasa wanted to tell him not to work so hard. But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Leo had no choice but to work so hard because the situation on Earth was actually very bad.

Before the old problems were completely resolved, new troubles followed one after another. The monsters imprisoned in the Great Seal were all the kind that could blow up the entire universe. Even so, aliens still came to Earth to dig for treasure every day, as if they didn't care about making trouble.

Leo asked Redel if he would believe it if he told the aliens that if something happened on Earth, the whole universe would suffer. Redel replied that the aliens would definitely come to see what could cause the whole universe to explode.

Once they discover that something is a force, they'll try to steal it and use it. That's how this universe is—it's truly baffling.

“This universe needs order.” Leo rubbed his temples, but he didn’t want to follow the path of an emperor like Emperor Empera. What he wanted was to establish a galactic alliance with Earth at its core, but that would require Earth to demonstrate sufficient power.

Hmm, we need to find a clueless, unlucky guy to be the whetstone. Leo remembers Redell saying that there's a brainless alien in the universe who likes to show off and is planning to invade Earth. What's his name, Natan?

Anyway, as long as Sphia doesn't interfere, Leo is certain that Earth's strength is among the best in the entire universe. Of course, it might not be enough to protect Earth.

"Hopefully the Prometheus will be alright, but we really should provide more trade support to Earth. Forget about forcing growth, we at least need to let the seedlings survive until today."

Watching Leo mutter to himself about discussing technical support with Galatron while reviewing various plan details, everyone felt sorry for him. Emperor looked around and didn't see Mephisto; that guy had been acting mysteriously lately.

Seeing how busy Leo was, Little Gatan was a little worried. She could sense that Leo's emotions were very unstable and that he was under too much pressure. However, she didn't know how to express it, so she could only take one of Leo's hands and put it on her head, letting him rub it a couple of times.

"Um... thank you, Gatanothor. Go find Gorgorgon if you're hungry. I have some things to do." Leo smiled and ruffled Gatanothor's hair before continuing with his work.

It seems that Tyrant hasn't caught that Golza yet, so he probably won't be back for dinner tonight. Zetton and Dimaga haven't finished their metamorphosis yet. Will they suddenly appear at some crucial moment, like in some movies and TV shows?

It would be best if nothing happened to the Prometheus, and that it could prepare for combat tomorrow. However, Leo estimated that the Sphia would definitely get involved, as those guys were very sensitive to the Max propulsion system.

To counter the invasion of Sphia, the Prometheus was equipped with firepower from head to toe, so much so that not even a bird could get within 30 meters. It was also equipped with the Max propulsion system, which was improved by Dr. Eight-Tailed and Alchemist Star, and the new Max Cannon. According to Galatron, its power was comparable to the Maga Bomb that Leo never returned from.

Earth's level of scientific development can no longer be described as a technological explosion; it's like a series of nuclear bombs exploding non-stop. Leo understands that everything right now is to get through the most difficult hurdle, but he has to consider the possible consequences of these technologies getting out of control in the more distant future.

The Goblin and Spyja civilizations serve as the best examples of what to do. The Goblin civilization must have paid a heavy price to fight against the Naga. According to Galatron, the Naga ten million years ago were much more powerful than they are today.

But what destroyed the Goblin civilization was not the Naga, but their own relentless arms race that ultimately left them unable to control their own technology. Perhaps the same applies to Sphia.

Leo hopes that Earth can weather this most difficult period, and he also hopes that humanity will not follow the old path of the civilizations of Sphia and Goblin. He has a deep understanding of the power and potential that humanity possesses; the potential is truly enormous. It is hard to imagine that Earth was a disorganized mess twenty years ago.

The Monster Age brought a lot of pain and pressure to humanity, but it also forced all of humanity to unite. Although some parasites infiltrated the world, they did little to hinder the progress of human civilization; they were just annoying to look at.

"According to the survey conducted by the advertising department, humanity as a whole is hopeful for improvement, and the appearance of Ultraman has really given everyone a lot of encouragement, but if... well, that's not really relevant."

"The Special Investigation Division has enough investigative authority, but we need to add more manpower to them. After the Max Power System is deployed, there will probably be a major structural change... I'm not familiar with this area, but we need to get Staff Officer Fukami to prepare early. That's when he should become the TPC Director."

Fukami is capable, but he lacks experience and the decisiveness to make a final decision. Director Sawai put him in charge of the reconstruction of S City as a test. If he does well, his reputation will be greatly enhanced. Leo plans to give him a chance to grow.

"Dr. Otomo's plan is also feasible. Commanding monsters to participate in the battle is a good idea. We need to ask Ren about which monsters can help us."

It's easier to organize your thoughts when you talk them out, and that's Leo's habit. He speaks very fast, and Magabasa can hardly understand what he's saying, but she feels she can't let Leo continue like this.

If only I were stronger, more useful, Magabasa thought, pursing his lips. Gatan sat beside Leo, while Gorgorgon crouched in the corner, afraid to approach Leo and disturb his train of thought.

Is the house feeling a bit deserted? Leo wondered, but then he remembered that it wasn't lively before either. In the beginning, it was just him and his grandmother at home, with Mephisto and Uncle Hayata coming over occasionally.

But perhaps worried about disturbing Leo's rest time after get off work, Hayata and the others didn't come much anymore, only greeting him when Leo left in the morning.

Later, Ren came along, but Ren himself was not talkative, was very aloof and seemed unapproachable, so Leo always tried to keep his distance.

Back then, things weren't like they are now. Even if everyone was busy, there were always three or four people to keep Leo company. But perhaps because he was too busy, the busier he was, the more tired he felt, and he subconsciously felt a bit lonely. His family was indeed...

"A family?" Leo suddenly realized he had forgotten something; he had forgotten about the two Silvergons!

When I went to find Silvergon with Komon before, we discussed it. Silvergon didn't want to live on Monster Island. She didn't really trust humans and didn't want to be confined to one place. She also said that she would take the child with her afterward.

However, this was all said to Komon. In reality, Galatron secretly found Silvergon and the others. She was very interested in the monster Silvergon and asked them if they would like to follow Leo. Little Silvergon nodded faster than a printer could print. The little guy had a very high liking for Leo.

But because he was so busy with all sorts of things later in the day, Leo almost forgot about it and had to hurry up and pick up the two of them.

Actually, Little Sylphagon has more potential, and Big Sylphagon isn't bad either, about the same level as Tyrant. However, Leo didn't expect them to fight for him. It's just that Galatrom rarely asked him for a favor, so Leo naturally didn't refuse.

As for whether having two more people in the house would cause any problems, Leo felt it was actually fine. It would just be like having two more tenants who didn't pay their rent. After all, Big Hilbagun already had children, and Little Hilbagun was still so young. The worst-case scenario he was thinking of certainly wouldn't happen.

Chapter 180 Mephisto's Poaching

"Human!" Released from the Ultimate Fighting Device, Little Silvergon lunged at Leo, crashing into his arms and causing Leo to stumble back several steps. Leo thought to himself, "Wow, the kid's strong! I even feel a little pain."

The young Hilbargon now looks about the same size as Gatanothor, with horns on either side of his head as a racial characteristic. Of course, these horns can still be removed, and he seems a little unaccustomed to them, often reaching out to run his hand through his long silver hair.

Seeing that someone had actually taken her place, Little Gatan's gaze immediately turned hostile, and she stared coldly at Silvergon. If the other person hadn't been so close to Leo, she would have sprayed a mouthful of black mist at him.

"Stop fooling around, Seele, you'll only cause Leo trouble." Grand Sylvagon grabbed his daughter by the collar. She was very tall, almost 1.8 meters, and her clothes were also...

Okay, Leo has always wanted to complain about how the Ultimate Fighting Device manages to make everyone's clothes look so indecent after they turn into humans, no matter what kind of monster it is.

Seemingly sensing Leo's thoughts, the Ultimate Fighting Device jumped out of his hand and hit him on the head. "You're complaining because you're thinking of me, huh?"

"Um, I am Hilbargon. Although I'm not entirely sure, this should be my daughter Seele... I hope you will all take good care of me from now on."

This statement was truly eye-opening for everyone. Magabasa glanced at the two figures, one large and one small, which were clearly of an advanced generation. Little Hilbagun would probably grow up to be just like the older one.

"You're not even sure if she's your daughter?"

"I can't be sure. I hadn't seen her before I fell asleep, but she was right next to me after I fell asleep."

Hilbargon woke up to find himself with a daughter out of nowhere, which was quite baffling. But after thinking about it, he realized they were of the same race and the little one was so young, so he decided to raise her.

"I just don't know why, after all these years, it hasn't grown any taller."

"Isn't it only seven or eight years?" Leo picked up little Hilbargon and lifted him high, only to have the little guy hug him tightly. Gatanothor was even more unhappy now.

"But according to human age classification, I'm only twenty-eight years old."

Hilbagun revealed a fact that shocked everyone, even Leo was stunned. He had thought Hilbagun was at least tens of thousands of years old.

“Our race does not need to eat; we can draw energy directly from the warp, which is why I am this big at the age of ten.”

Hearing what Hilbargon said, everyone couldn't help but look at Leo again. It seemed that Hilbargon wasn't the only one in the family who was that big at the age of ten.

However, it's true that Little Hilbargon's growth rate is a bit off, but I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

Leo plucked Little Silvergon off his face and handed him to his mother. He had a feeling that the little guy might be something special, but since the Ultimate Fighting Device had tagged him, there shouldn't be any problems.

Little Seele had just been taken away from Leo's arms when Gatanothor immediately clung to him, using both hands and feet, and wouldn't let go. Leo could only let her be for the time being.

“Hmph~” Gatanothor gave little Sylphgon a triumphant look, which made the latter pout unhappily. Gorgorgon wanted to persuade them but couldn’t bring himself to speak.

When it really matters, Magabasa's sharp tongue is the key. "No wonder he's Leo, he doesn't even spare children."

Leo's face darkened. He patted Little Gatan's head and whispered something to her. He picked her up and threw her directly onto Magabassa. The little girl grabbed Magabassa's hair, making the guy howl in pain.

Little Seele was trying to stick back to Leo, but she was caught by Silvergon and could only struggle. None of them were easy to deal with.

"We're back." Rainbow Kagachi's voice came from the doorway. She and Renlong had returned together, carrying some things in their hands.

"Sigh, regulating the climate and the earth's veins is no easy task, but the next few days won't be too busy... Oh, a new person has joined the family?"

Rainbow Kaga looked at the Silvergon mother and daughter with some surprise. Renlong could obviously hear and see everything Leo had experienced, so he was not surprised by the changes in his family.

However, when she saw Xiao Xi'er, Ren Long's expression clearly changed. She looked her over for a while, then seemed unsure of what she had discovered.

"Big sister, help me!" Magabasa ran to Renlong with Little Gatan on her head. Renlong sighed, thinking that this foul mouth should be taught a lesson, but still helped to take Little Gatan off and hold it in her arms.

Renlong and Leo were the closest, so Little Gatan knew he should listen to her and obediently shrank back.

"Welcome back." This time it was Leo's turn to say this to Renlong. Renlong also carried Little Gatan to Leo and gently stroked his cheek with one hand.

"You've worked hard." Renlong received the news about what happened in Lion's Nose Tree Sea today.

Magabasa, who was fixing her hair, stared at the three of them for a while. "They really do look like a family of three."

Then, she got to experience Rainbow Kaga's Skull Crusher and Eleking's Explosive Punch.

Dinner tonight was prepared by Gorgorgon. Although her staple food is stone, her cooking skills, honed over the past few days, are quite good, and the meal was very lavish. At least Gatanjeor and young Hilbargon were quite satisfied with their nanny.

After dinner, Renlong and Leo tidied up while watching Xiaoxi'er and Gatanothor staring at each other with mutual dislike.

“Leo, this Silvergon... looks like the Silvergon King that appeared a few years ago.”

"Huh?" Several question marks popped up above Leo's head. "Are you sure?"

"It's pretty much confirmed, because I was the one who sealed her away." Renlong found it all incredibly unbelievable.

Back then, Silvergon was tainted by some of the ultimate darkness and became King Silvergon. He wasn't particularly strong, but most importantly, he wasn't very bright, so Renlong didn't have much trouble sealing him away.

Before being sealed away, King Hilbargon used his last strength to create a subspace for himself, making it difficult for Renlong to observe his location.

Then, a few years ago, King Sylvagon appeared and was defeated. The Earth Light used to seal him returned to the ley lines, which also allowed the Renlong to awaken further.

However, because she believed that King Hillbagon was dead, Renlong had not connected this incident with the seal she had set up years ago until she saw little Xier with her own eyes and realized it.

"Given her condition... I can't sense any aura of ultimate darkness from her."

"I think it's possible that when the Icarus aliens tried to break the seal, they only broke it halfway. Ultimate Darkness escaped and became King Silvergon, causing chaos everywhere, but she was able to get rid of the darkness's entanglement."

At this point in Renlong's story, Leo suddenly understood something he hadn't been able to grasp: "So, the reason why Greater Sylvagon accidentally ended up in the Warp was because Lesser Sylvagon called for her to rescue him?"

“It might be an instinctive behavior; King Hilbargon has the authority to command ordinary Hilbargons,” Renlong pondered for a moment.

As the two had suspected, the seal on Silvergon had actually been broken by the Icarus aliens ten years earlier, but after two years of effort, they only managed to release half of King Silvergon.

The relationship between Little Sylvagon and King Sylvagon is roughly equivalent to that between Empera and her other half as the Dark Emperor; the King Sylvagon who was killed back then was the manifestation of most of her power.

"Does that mean this little guy is at least 30 million years old... but Great Hilbargon is only 28."

Leo glanced at Big Silvergon, who was teaching her child not to fight. The age gap between the mother and daughter was really huge.

"It's better not to think about monsters too much." Renlong also found it incredible, but this was the most likely explanation, and it could also explain why this little guy's talent was so strong.
