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

“Leo.” Galatron keenly sensed something was wrong and turned to look at Director Sawai, who shook his head; he didn’t know everything either.

Aya and the others could all sense it, and Renina realized something in the blink of an eye: "Could it be that Leo is in the Plasma Universe?"

"Plasma universe?" Ako blinked, as if she had some information about this term in her mind. She tried hard to recall, remembering that it was a legend circulating in the universe.

Legend has it that the Plasma Universe is a closed universe containing many powerful monsters and a peculiar energy substance. However, apart from a few unlucky individuals who manage to fall into the spacetime rifts that appear from time to time, ordinary people have no way of getting in.

Even the existence of a plasma universe remains unproven, with no one able to provide accurate evidence to date.

“Yes, it’s actually my home.” Renina nodded. “Back then, Reiblood got a beating and lost his status as the ruler of the universe, so he could only huddle in a universe.”

"Later, I had a split personality and became me and another guy. We had a conflict and then it exploded. The special energy minerals in the so-called plasma universe can also be understood as my ashes."

This aunt's way of speaking is really amazing. Ako felt like her brain couldn't keep up. Renina saw that it was about time and reached out to retrieve her monsters.

She really didn't expect that, despite being quite worried about Leo's situation, she would have such an important clue so soon after arriving on Earth.

However, finding Leo can be postponed for now. Reina's primary goal is to meet her daughters-in-law and check what's wrong with the Ultimate Fighting Device. Ayako says it's not responding at all, which is really strange.

Meanwhile, in a spacetime rift undiscovered by anyone, Greiza passed through the rift, first transforming back into a Goldler alien, then back into Uroga, but immediately afterward, phantoms of many aliens and monsters appeared on her body.

Baltan aliens, Babar aliens, monster chieftains, Red King, Tyrant... until finally, it simply turned into a ball of light, drifting to the center of the universe, looking at the huge plasma crystal star that illuminated the entire plasma universe.

"Leo..."

Chapter 590 A Tense Family

Having a lead on Leo was certainly a cause for celebration, but before that, the girls of the Leo family faced a very thorny problem: the arrival of Renina.

Honestly, apart from Zetton, who disappeared with Leo, the only other family members who had ever seen Renina were Tilis and King Grand. Even they were very nervous, afraid that Leo's nominal mother would be dissatisfied with them.

For the first time, Miss Renlong was struggling with what to wear. Galatron's core calculations had been running for most of the day, but she still didn't know how to make a perfect impression. Ellie even spent a long time flipping through a book on the spot.

"The key to the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship lies with the husband. He should learn to praise his husband in order to praise his mother-in-law," she said, telling her daughter how to avoid some unnecessary trouble... Ai Lei read it aloud as she watched, making sure she remembered it.

"What are you looking at?" Magabasa curiously peeked over, then her eyelids twitched like ping-pong balls. "A Stupid Daughter-in-Law Meets a Stupid Mother-in-Law, what's the point of watching this?"

"...This is the only book about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships we have at home. What can I do?" Ai Lei was helpless, but she could only lower her head and continue reading.

Aside from their involvement with Leo, this family had never experienced such anxiety and tension before. Even Renlong was discussing with his eight clones whether to buy new clothes and some gifts.

"What is everyone busy with?" Little Gatan didn't quite understand. Her and Seele's plan to sneak away and find Leo had been thwarted again. Fortunately, Hilary told her that Leo would be back soon, which calmed the little one down a bit.

"I don't know." Seele's brain was even less likely to understand anything. The two little ones didn't think too much about it and sat on the sofa to watch the latest episode of Ultraman Tiga.

Hillary and Cordara weren't particularly nervous. After all, their relationship with Leo was rather special, more like that of best friends. If Leo really wanted to do that kind of thing, they wouldn't mind, and would even actively cooperate.

There's no love involved, yet she's entrusted her life to Leo—it's a strange and complicated relationship.

King Grand was similar; the only thing she could say she liked about Tilis was that Tilis introduced her to Leo. Other than that, there was nothing else. This girl was the one in the whole family who was most focused on Leo.

Tilis was much more nervous. Although she was supposed to be following Leo, she was still under Renina's command.

I had boasted that I could help Leo, but when I arrived I found out I was the worst person in the family. Sigh, how embarrassing.

"Is this outfit alright?" In the end, Renlong chose the white dress that Leo had given her, which was understated yet subtly revealed the sacred beauty of a daughter of the earth.

“Big Sister looks best in anything,” Rainbow Kagachi said with a smile. The clones of Renlong nodded in agreement. Rainbow Kagachi was wearing a white shrine maiden outfit with black cloud patterns. Leo had praised the outfit, so she wore it often.

It was thanks to some clues about Leo that the girls in the family were able to comfort themselves a little. The fact that they were still alive proved that Leo was not in any danger. Otherwise, why would they have bothered to dress up and make a good impression on Renina?

Dimaga remained calm. She actually wanted to say that there was no need for everyone to act this way. As the person Renina had possessed remotely several times before, she felt that Renina's personality wouldn't care about these things at all.

Ultimately, the fact that the guy was even capable of encouraging Leodor to find partners just to increase the population shows that he's not a decent person.

Especially during one instance when Reina possessed Leo and Dimaga were about to do *that*, Dimaga sensed that while Reina was shy, she was also incredibly excited. He wouldn't be surprised if she were to personally make a move on Leo.

The family had been busy for quite some time. Hilbagun, Gorgorgun, and Galatron II prepared a large table of dishes. Reina could smell the delicious aroma as soon as she stepped onto the street.

However, what Renina cared more about than these things was the people on this street. She watched Mr. Hayata and Mr. Moroboshi play chess, and watched Mr. Higashi Kotaro toss a stone weight weighing over a hundred pounds up and down with one hand.

Seeing that he couldn't find the jack, Grandpa Xiang Xiushu simply lifted the car with one hand. Grandpa Beidou wielded a sword with great skill, and the surrounding air currents were driven by the sword's edge. Before the leaves even touched the sword's edge, they were already being shredded by the air currents.

This street is truly teeming with talent, Renina remarked with admiration. Although these people all appeared to be quite old, each of them possessed a powerful aura. One might mistake this place for the Earth's street office of the Land of Light.

As Ayako and Renina approached, Grandpa Hokuto stopped what he was doing. "Oh, Ayako's back. And who's this with you?"

"Ah, this is Leo's relative. She came today. I was just about to take her to the shrine, so I won't disturb you practicing your swordplay any longer, Master Hokuto."

After all, she was from Yapool, and even hearing the name Hokuto Seiji made her a little nervous. When she saw him in person, Ako always felt a little guilty. She had also been an accomplice to evil in the past, and now she had atone for her sins.

"Oh, in that case, go get some cake from Nan Yuko and treat her well. I won't keep you any longer."

Grandpa Hokuto was quite casual. In fact, he knew Ayako's identity. After all, he had long suspected Leo's identity, so it wasn't surprising that he could guess who Ayako was.

But he wasn't Ultraman Ace, and besides, Ako's previous statements and actions proved that she wasn't a bad person. Old Master Hokuto believed that the people Leo had recruited wouldn't make things difficult for her.

“These people are quite extraordinary.” Renina’s tone was slightly different from before.

“It is quite extraordinary.” Ayako nodded, but did not understand the deeper meaning in Renina’s words.

Back at the TPC base, after completing her examination with Dr. Tango, Mirai tried clenching her fist and discovered that her strength had indeed increased slightly.

"It seems that using Defareta particles can indeed strengthen Ultraman's body, regardless of whether he or she is from the Land of Light." Dr. Dango nodded with great satisfaction.

But Hikari then shook his head, "But such an improvement is ultimately just external; it's not a power that truly belongs to oneself."

“It’s alright, this will work.” Future’s eyes were very firm. “I have something very important to do, so I’ll take my leave now.”

After saying that, Future hurriedly left. He was an Ultraman and had considerable freedom of action, which was given to him by Leo. Now Future planned to go to Star City to find Hayata and the others again and clarify things.

With Leo gone, the future realizes that something big is about to happen, and things will get worse if they don't take action soon.

written request for leave

Ugh, I spent ages tidying up the house, planning to write something, but when I turned on the computer… it wouldn't turn on. After replacing the graphics card, the computer started acting up again, forcing me to disassemble and reassemble it all over again. I knew there was some trick to using the Prism theme; it seems to be really stuck with this now. I was exhausted yesterday, so I'm taking a break today. Sorry about that.

Chapter 591 How Can We Live Without Leo?

Life without Leo is very difficult for everyone in ESCG. On one hand, they wish Leo were Nix, so that Leo's safety would not be a problem.

On the other hand, if Leo is indeed the Knicks, then they need to be honest with each other, including about things from the past...

But overall, whether it's the logistics department or everyone at ESCG, their attitude towards Leo is quite simple:

"Come back soon~ I can't bear this alone, come back soon~"

Listening to this song from the Asian branch, both Gamu and Fujimiya, who were lying on the table, sighed helplessly. They really missed Leo.

However, both Iru and Fujimiya are fine, but the one who has had the hardest time is Captain Gento. During the time Leo was away, Gento finally realized just how monstrous his vice-captain really was.

The entire TPC, including all branches, and all matters that need to be reported by departments at the third level or above, will go through Leo's side. He personally reviews all matters, big and small, and handles communication between higher and lower levels.

Especially in the combat departments, personnel transfer reviews, psychological counseling, and file updates all require confirmation from idle personnel, which he just can't understand!

Aside from meetings, Gento hadn't left the command room in the past few days. He felt that if he weren't Ultraman Blaze, his eyes would probably be ruined by now.

"Sigh, how does the vice captain manage to read all these documents?" Gento wondered. Even if he could read ten lines at a glance, he couldn't read them as fast as the documents piled up.

Therefore, he had to ask Megumi Kijima and Shunichi Maki for help in relieving his workload, otherwise he simply couldn't handle the paperwork.

Recalling Leo's efficiency, Fujiwara Juri couldn't help but nod in approval. Gai Kurenai felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of Jugglus Juggler's clenched teeth expression. "If only the vice-captain were here."

"How is the vice-captain now?" Fujiwara Juri sighed, not because she was so dependent on Leo's power, but simply because she was very worried.

With two people missing from the team, Kai remembered what they had talked about earlier. "By the way, Captain, did Daigo and Komon go to the vice-captain's house?"

"Ah, firstly, I want to clarify things regarding the vice-captain, and secondly... I also want to confirm the vice-captain's identity." Gento's face carried a faint deathly aura, commonly known as a strong sense of dread.

There was no way around it; everyone cared too much about Leo's identity. In fact, they had been investigating ever since they realized that there might be something wrong with Leo's identity.

First, there were Director Sawai and Chief Yoshioka. Although Gento had some doubts before, he didn't really question why the two of them had directly delegated such a high level of power to Leo, because Leo had indeed demonstrated the corresponding abilities.

However, looking back now, it's not hard to imagine that these two probably already knew Leo's identity, but Gento didn't want to ask directly. The fact that they didn't say anything clearly meant that it wasn't appropriate to tell them directly.

"I dream, Fujimiya, have you gotten any results from the previous investigation?" Gento remembered that there was still this matter.

Gamu and Fujimiya exchanged a glance, cut off the command center's external communications, and took out their respective transformation devices. Red and blue lights intertwined, forming an invisible barrier.

Galatron, who was eavesdropping, suddenly lost signal and realized that it was something Dream and the others had done. Perhaps it was to guard against the Dark Shadow Mage, but it also protected her.

"It seems they did find something. In fact, they should have discovered it a long time ago." Galatrom was not surprised by this result.

If it weren't for the light of the plasma spark within Leo's body, which would feel especially familiar to Daigo and the others, these guys would have noticed his abnormality long ago. The past few months spent together haven't been in vain.

In the command room, where Galatrom couldn't eavesdrop, Gamu and Fujimiya produced some paper documents, clearly for some kind of security mechanism.

"There are some, but to be honest, it's quite difficult. After searching for Knicks-related celebrities, there's very little information available. However, Fujimiya and I discovered that there's one person for whom there's very little information, which is unusual."

Upon hearing what Gamu said, Gento and Kai's expressions instantly turned serious. It seemed that what Gamu and Fujimiya had investigated was quite extraordinary.

"My dream teacher is Dr. Yao, my teacher is Dr. Iwamoto, and both of them, including Dr. Nezu, once studied under the same person, whose name is King Joe Nix."

The name alone was enough to make everyone's brows twitch; anyone could tell that something extraordinary was hidden within it.

After Fujimiya finished speaking, Iruya distributed the materials in her hand to everyone and continued.

"I once heard Mr. Yao mention that King Joe Nix was the greatest scientist of the last century. He was the first to propose the TPC construction plan, and the design drawings for the Flying Swallow series... are also part of her legacy."

“Legacy?” Hong Kai noticed the word keenly. Fujimiya nodded. “Many years ago, King Joe Nix met with an accident during an expedition and has not been heard from since.”

"But strangely, when we tried to investigate her, we found that all her information was sealed by the various branches with the highest level of access, and only paper files were available."

"Thanks to the permissions granted by the captain, we were able to access the database for investigation, but even so, there was very little information available for reference."

Captain Stringman took the document and began to peruse it. The contents of the TPC's highest database cannot be copied or taken away, nor are they permitted to be copied.

I and Fujimiya relied entirely on their own brains to record and copy all of this information by hand, without using any network to ensure absolute safety and leave no trace.

[King Joe Knicks, female, born in 1940...]

“There is no prior experience.” Fujiwara Juri frowned, then noticed several key points that were highlighted later.

"Proposed the establishment of a lunar exploration base, and then... participated in the Apollo program led by the American branch?"

Upon hearing "lunar base," everyone immediately realized that it was the Carlo base.

In the director's office on the other side, Director Sawai, unusually, picked up a cup of tea, put down the documents in his hand, and looked at Yoshioka in front of him. "How is it?"

"The police department reported that the two guys went to the classified documents room this morning. It seems they've already found it and probably won't realize that we left it there on purpose."

“Then they should be applying to go to the moon soon… He’s been waiting for a long time, over ten thousand years.” Director Sawai put down his teacup, his eyes filled with sadness.

After all, I knew from the very beginning that the person was there, but I could only wait until now to go. It's really upsetting.

Chapter 592 The Two People Who Suddenly Disappeared

Lena's arrival made Leo's whole family very nervous, but after getting to know her, they realized that their mother-in-law wasn't as strict as they had imagined. On the contrary, she was really unreliable.

"Wow, I never expected Leo to have so many monsters around him. I haven't been able to connect with this place for a long time, and the information updates aren't fast enough."

Renina ate while talking, showing no airs whatsoever. Her eating manners were far from elegant; she practically devoured the rice like a whirlwind, a tidal wave of revenge.

When she possessed Dimaga's body before, it was her true personality. Everyone glanced at Tilis and found that she also looked like she was questioning her life.

The impression that Renina is aloof, arrogant, powerful, and strict is mostly based on what everyone heard from Tilis. Of all those present, only Tilis had actually interacted with Renina.

"Another bowl, please!" Renina raised her bowl for the eighth time in just three minutes. Hilbargon, who was in charge of adding rice, thought for a moment and simply handed her the rice cooker.

"Oh, this makes things much easier. Sigh, it's been so long since I've eaten human food. This is really good. You guys usually eat so well."

Renina was not polite at all, nor was she angry. She took the rice cooker and started showing off her rice.

"You've been to Earth before?" As the matriarch of the family, Renlong naturally sat next to Renina, as it was essential to cultivate a good relationship with her mother-in-law.

"Having drifted through the universe for so many years and passed by many parallel worlds of Earth, my deepest impression of humans is that they cook delicious food."

"At the time, I was thinking that if I settled down on Earth with Leo in the future, life would be great, so I gave him a human appearance."

Lena also took the opportunity to explain the connection between Leo and the setting, which answered a question that everyone had wanted to know for a long time.

The mention of Leo inevitably brought a touch of sadness to the atmosphere at home. It would have been so nice if the family could have been reunited after all the hard work of Renina's visit.

"It's a pity Leo isn't here right now." Ereshkigal was a little disappointed; her tail had lost its former vigor.

“I know everything, but that guy from earlier is definitely related to Leo. I think Leo is probably in the Plasma Universe.”

Despite Leo's disappearance, Renina didn't seem too worried. Seeing all the girls in the room safe and sound, it wasn't hard to imagine that Leo had just encountered some trouble, but wasn't in danger.
