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

Leo's departure means he'll likely be staying in the Plasma Universe for a long time. King Joe sighed. He'd be busy for a while, mainly waiting. Sigh, waiting is the most worrisome thing.

“Almost fifty-five years…” Jin Guqiao muttered, pouting as he watched the white light disappear. “You’ll have to make it up to me properly later.”

In the universe, the Dark Core waited several months before finally leaking some information, still feeling apprehensive.

The powerful energy that had just erupted on Earth made him think that the King of Ultra had personally arrived, since the most powerful he had ever seen was only at the legendary level.

It seems that now is not the time to make a move, and he can only lie low. But just as Dark Core was thinking this, Leo's voice, which sounded like a death knell, slowly came from beside him.

Do you think I would forget you?

The Dark Core suddenly opened all its eyes and looked at Leo, who had appeared in front of it at some unknown time. Leo stretched out his hand, and an invisible wave enveloped the entire moon, and a spacetime rift suddenly appeared in the sky above the moon.

"The rift in the plasma universe can't be discovered by Gatanothor and the others, or it'll be disastrous. I just used you to block the door!"

"Damn it!" Dark Core cursed angrily. He thought Leo had already traveled back to the future. Was this guy planning to level up in the Plasma Universe?!

However, no matter how unwilling it was, the Dark Core could not change its fate and was thrown by Leo and stuck in the rift of the plasma universe.

Chapter 582 Changes of the Times

The entire crew felt very sorry that Leo and King Joe couldn't attend the wrap-up ceremony for "Ultra Q". However, no matter who asked, Director Tsuburaya Productions only said that Leo, the executive director, was just going to save the world.

This is a reason that sounds like a joke, but looking at the serious look on the director's face, people can't help but wonder if it might actually be true.

After all, director Leo is such an incredible person, it seems like he can do anything.

"Where is screenwriter Jin Cheng?"

“He said later, he had a great inspiration, he said he wanted to write a hero, a hero who stands shoulder to shoulder with humanity.”

In a corner unnoticed by everyone, Leo raised his glass to toast the entire crew, but apart from director Tsuburaya, only Kazuo Tsuburaya caught a glimpse of Leo.

"Ichifu, come here." Director Eiji Tsuburaya beckoned to his grandson. "Hold out your hand."

Kazuo Tsuburaya didn't quite understand what his grandfather was doing, but he still obediently stretched out his hand and watched as his grandfather placed a red gem in his hand, which felt very warm.

"Keep it safe, child. Someday in the future, you will meet Leo again, our friend. He helped us, and we should help him too."

Seeing Kazuo Tsuburaya's bewildered expression, director Eiji Tsuburaya wasn't surprised. He knew that Wangchuan was erasing everyone's memories of what happened last night, but his grandson would remember sooner or later.

Unfortunately, he would not live to see Leo again. Although Leo had helped him improve his health, he had a premonition that he would not live much longer.

But it doesn't matter. His life has been glorious enough, and everything he has done has left something for future generations. That's enough for him.

In December 1965, it was announced that filming of "Ultra Q" was completed. With its advanced concepts and filming techniques (provided by King Joe), it successfully caused a global sensation the following year and became a phenomenon.

In 1966, Tsuburaya Productions announced the official start of filming "Ultraman," which achieved record-breaking viewership ratings and sparked a global tokusatsu craze.

In 1969, Apollo 11, carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Elisabeth Koslin, and Buzz Aldrin, became the first manned lunar landing. Ostensibly a Cold War competition, the mission was actually to investigate anomalies on the moon that had occurred but were only remembered by a few.

On January 25, 1970, director Eiji Tsuburaya, the god of tokusatsu, was writing a script for a new Ultraman story, but the protagonist of the story was not Ultraman.

I feel a little dizzy and unsure if I can finish writing this story. My vision is a bit blurry, and it's hard to hold the pen, but I don't feel any other discomfort. Perhaps it's because of the treatment Leo gave me back then.

Darkness, boundless darkness, but what truly brings destruction is the fear, unease, and prejudice in people's hearts.

Even intelligent people can misunderstand each other over minor differences, which can then escalate into estrangement and conflict, generating negative energy.

The Dark Mage uses this to strengthen itself; as long as evil roots and desires remain in people's hearts, and as long as there is despair in the universe, it will not die.

But people's hearts are filled with more than just negative emotions, and Leo understands this deeply; he is not fighting alone...

The pen suddenly stopped, and director Eiji Tsuburaya completely lost consciousness. His body naturally tilted down, but was gently pulled up by a pair of hands and placed on the sofa.

Leo straightened his old friend's clothes, his eyes filled with regret. He had hoped that his treatment would help director Eiji Tsuburaya live a few more years, but he never expected that this was also a confirmed piece of history that could not be changed.

But at least, his dear friend passed away without pain; he had a smile on his face and no regrets.

Even in the final moments of his life, he did not forget to create more opportunities for Leo to win.

Leo wanted to do something more, but his body suddenly felt somewhat unreal. He was in a rather awkward state, otherwise he wouldn't have missed seeing her one last time.

But as the written words suddenly disappeared, Leo felt that perhaps missing this last glimpse was a fitting arrangement.

Leo walked to the window and looked at the star that twinkled even in the daytime. Its twinkling seemed to be waving to Leo, and Leo waved back, "Goodbye."

When Tsuburaya and his team rushed into the room, it was unusually quiet. Only director Eiji Tsuburaya was lying peacefully on the sofa, with a pen on the table and a script that looked like it had nothing written on it.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Xingxiu Street, Jin Guqiao, wearing glasses and a white coat, walked past shop after shop and came straight to the familiar bluestone steps.

As she walked up, she felt like she was coming home. She sensed the activity of the dragon vein and knew that the Ren dragon had awakened, but it certainly couldn't move freely yet. Oh, it was still sleeping.

The huge commotion we caused earlier was thanks to Delacion and the others using their last bit of power to alter everyone's memories. Gatanothor and Grimd didn't dare to show themselves at the time and were unaware of the truth.

Everything at Renryu Shrine was pretty much the same as when I last visited, except for some more flowers and plants in the courtyard. Kingo Bridge thought that although the shrine was not small, with so many people in the family, it would definitely need to be expanded.

"Hello, are you here to pay your respects?" A pretty girl who looked to be in her teens came out and looked at King Go-kyō with some surprise.

"I guess so. I came here once with a friend before, when the shrine was still abandoned. I didn't expect it to change so much." King Joe extended his hand. "My name is King Joe Nix."

King Joe Knicks—I think I've seen that name in the news before, but I'm not very familiar with it.

"My name is Kazumi Asami." Faced with this mysterious visitor, Kazumi Asami was somewhat at a loss for how to respond.

Although her ancestors had been the guardians of the Renryu Shrine for generations, they had moved away many years ago due to an accident. However, a few years ago, her parents heard that the shrine had been transformed in a single day and believed it was a miracle from the dragon god, so they moved back with her.

“I know.” King Joe smiled calmly. “It seems everything is back on track, so I won’t bother you any longer.”

Putting everything else aside, King Joe's task is still very heavy. Sigh, Dr. Yao and Dr. Nezu were truly geniuses when they were young. It must be a lot of pressure to be their teacher.

But there was no other way. In order for TPC to be completed smoothly, King Joe Bridge was going all out. They would have to find an excuse to take it offline later, otherwise, after so many years of unchanged appearance, people would notice something was wrong.

Faced with this guest whose speech was utterly incomprehensible and who came and went in a hurry, Asami Kazumi was completely baffled.

"Oh, right." Just as he was about to leave, King Joe suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Asami Kazumi. "Someone asked me to tell you that they thank you for taking care of him all this time."

What does this mean? Asami Kazumi looked confused. She couldn't understand a word of what she was saying, and she hadn't taken special care of anyone.

[Kazumi, I sensed an unusual power. Did anyone come by just now?]

"Ah, Lord Dragon God, you're awake. A very strange person came just now, but left after saying only a few words."

Chapter 583 seems a bit off.

The establishment of TPC remains a celebrated story to this day. Director Sawai lobbied various countries for the future of all humanity, hoping that everyone could lower their guard against each other's weapons and equipment and that humanity could become a true whole.

This was originally a very idealistic plan, because at that time there were still many disputes on Earth, and the resistance to achieving permanent peace was extremely great.

However, no one expected that Director Sawai would receive support from leading scientists around the world, especially scientists from the cradle of the century, such as Dr. Yao.

Cradle of the Century – This is a collective term for a group of students, led by the renowned scientist King Joe Nix, who came from all over the world and shared the same dream.

I firmly believe that humanity can and must unite in the future; only in this way can we meet the various challenges that may come!

Recalling Professor King Joe's ambitious words, Dr. Yao was particularly moved. He and his fellow students supported Director Sawai precisely because they shared the same belief in the future their teacher had envisioned.

At the time, King Joe was recognized worldwide as one of the leading scholars without borders, and he was dedicated to inventing anything that could help humanity. For example, the earliest universal translation machine was designed to eliminate language barriers.

Therefore, Tsuburaya Productions specifically used the name King Joe on the robot as a tribute to the King Joe Bridge.

Unfortunately, during a scientific research field trip, King Joe died in a sudden accident and his remains were never recovered. Over the years, few people have remembered him.

However, it's quite unexpected that a robot like King Joe actually appeared and even became a weapon of TPC.

Thinking of the past, Dr. Yao looked at Dr. Iwamoto, who had come to provide scientific research support. The two of them had studied under King Joe together back then, and it was with his help that Gamu's anti-gravity system was miniaturized.

Coincidentally, Dr. Iwamoto's name also appears in "Ultraman". In the TV series, it was Dr. Iwamoto's zero-gravity bomb that defeated Zetton.

Now, Dr. Iwamoto has come to TPC headquarters because, under the influence of Gamu's anti-gravity system, he has actually come up with some ideas for zero-gravity bombs and is preparing to see if he can make them.

"Iwamoto, do you think that if King Joe were still alive, he would be proud of us today?"

Dr. Iwamoto stopped his research and thought about his genius teacher, who was like an alien, and her smug personality.

"Given Teacher Huan's personality, she would most likely say with great pride that he truly deserves to be her student."

"That's true... Professor King Joe, what a pity. I remember someone really pursued her." Dr. Yao sighed. After all, King Joe was a rare beauty with countless suitors.

"I remember the teacher saying that she wanted three children in the future, but unfortunately she remained single until her death." Dr. Yao also remembered that this was because King Joe had very high standards.

"No way?" Dr. Iwamoto subconsciously looked up. "I remember my teacher mentioning unintentionally during an experiment that she was already married."

"Really?" Dr. Yao asked subconsciously, and Dr. Iwamoto nodded seriously.

"Of course, I remember the teacher's surname was Nix, and her husband's name was Leo Nix..."

At this point, both Dr. Yao and Dr. Iwamoto realized something was wrong, very wrong—this name!

“We…” Dr. Yao slammed his hand on the table and stood up, but the next moment he couldn’t help but hold his head, “What’s wrong? My head is so dizzy.”

"Me too, what's going on, what is this feeling..." Dr. Iwamoto also felt his consciousness becoming blurred.

It was at this moment that the metal can that Dr. Yao had placed in the laboratory suddenly burst into light, and the two of them instantly felt clear-headed and even exceptionally energetic.

"Yao, what's in here?" Dr. Iwamoto pointed at the metal can, and Dr. Yao slapped his head.

“That’s… the Defareta particle storage tank that Dr. Dango and I extracted from the Max Power System.”

Dr. Yao tried to lift the metal can with some disbelief. "So light... completely empty?"

There wasn't a single particle left in the jar, but even so, Dr. Yao clearly felt that the empty jar was lighter than before.

He suddenly realized that it wasn't that the jar had become lighter, but that his strength had increased by at least twice as much; the Defareta particles had indeed strengthened his body.

But the most important issue right now isn't that. Leo Nix, King Joe Nix, the establishment of TPC, and Leo's disappearance along with Armory King Joe... it all makes perfect sense.

Although it's hard to understand how Armory King Joe became human, it's all related to Leo, so it's perfectly normal not to understand.

"...Iwamoto, something suddenly occurred to me." Dr. Yao looked at his good friend. "Do you think Director Sawai and Chief Yoshioka already knew something?"

The scene shifts, and Director Sawai, sitting in a chair, puts down the report on the preparations for shelters and defense lines in various locations, and looks at Galatron in front of him. "Yes."

Galatrom was somewhat taken aback. Before she even began to ask, the old man known as the "Star of Humanity" had already anticipated what she wanted to ask and even gave a positive answer.

Although she knew long ago that the old man must have some secrets, Galatron never expected that she would be affected and disturbed, but Director Sawai remained completely clear-headed.

"If he wouldn't be affected even in front of you, then Director Yoshioka, he also..."

“He did it all on his own.” Director Sawai gestured for Galatron to sit down. Gen was not surprised at all that Galatron had teleported in; he knew some of the inside story.

"If the cameras hadn't captured Ayako and Aunt Renina together, I almost wouldn't have remembered this."

After realizing that she was the one who sent Ako to the moon, Galatron noticed something was wrong and went directly to Director Sawai himself, which was the optimal solution after analysis.

"I know that TPC was established because of Mephisto's interference, but what was the original purpose of the lunar base Carlo?"

"Monitoring and protecting," Director Sawai said calmly with a smile. "Monitoring the movements of the moon and the universe, while protecting Leo, who is still asleep."

"Of course, no one except me and Yoshioka knew about this mission. Everyone, including Captain Hayate, thought that Carlo was just a research base."

Upon hearing Leo's whereabouts, Galatrom was momentarily stunned; she hadn't expected things to be this explosive.

But upon closer reflection, what kind of research base, besides Hayate, would need Amuro to oversee it?

This would explain why Amuro spent ten years on the moon instead of returning to Earth to fight.

As she pondered, Galatrom raised an eyebrow, "The Godler aliens have appeared once again..."

Chapter 584: Are there more experts?

Above the city, a purple orb of light fell to the ground, revealing the figure of the Godler aliens. The surrounding people had already been evacuated, and the Divine Eagle swept over the heads of the Godler aliens.

"This is Lina. The target has been confirmed as the Godler alien who suddenly disappeared on Monster Island!" Lina confirmed the identity with just one glance at the crystals on the Godler alien's body.

"Received, their target is indeed still in that direction... Raymond, be careful, this guy is not easy to deal with." Zongfang looked at Raymond in front of him.

“I know.” Raymond gave a thumbs up. “The covering work is now in your hands, Commander.”

After saying that, Raymond piloted the EXJ Alpha to separate from the enemy, took out his combat device, and felt the pulse of the monsters.

The recent battles have been intense but also quick to end. Although Raymond's win rate in high-level games is not high, he has indeed improved, and it feels like Gomora's potential has been developed quite a bit.

Today's Godler alien is a very suitable opponent for Raymond now, and is much stronger than MK2 and Maga Zetton.

Therefore, Raymond didn't dare to be careless. The three squares lit up one by one, "Come out, Gomora, evolve into Lagras, Black Rayne!"

Three monsters appeared one after another, and as soon as they landed, they charged directly at the Godler aliens.

The three of them are now working together perfectly: Gomora is responsible for close-range control, Black Raine harasses and creates opportunities from the air, and evolved Lagras is responsible for firepower output.
