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

Leo stroked his chin, thinking that the aliens who came this time shouldn't be that strong. The main reason was that the other party hadn't responded when he called them before, and he wasn't sure if they were enemies or if the spaceship had simply malfunctioned and couldn't respond.

“If it’s the enemy, then the shot fired from Delta Space Station is perfectly fine. But if it’s not the enemy, then it’s an interstellar diplomatic incident.” Director Yoshioka frowned.

"Firing without receiving any response constitutes self-defense. Given the situation on Earth, it's already quite good that we didn't fire directly," Staff Officer Nan Yuan said with a serious expression.

Leo casually waved his hand, telling the two to stop arguing. Originally, Staff Officer Nanyuan was a dove, but now, he's turned into a bald eagle by pouring ink on his head.

"No matter what the situation is, we have done our best. We don't need to care about any diplomatic incidents that may occur afterward. If the other side is reasonable, we will talk to them; if they are unreasonable, we will fight them."

Since Leo has already said so, there's no need to delve deeper into this issue. Everyone is now more interested in finding out whose monster of unknown origin it is.

As soon as Dr. Otomo arrived at the location, he immediately got to work. He was very curious whether this new type of space monster could communicate using a monster language translation machine.

"Yamaoka, Yamazaki, hurry up and get the equipment set up before this monster wakes up."

Upon hearing Dr. Otomo's voice, Zaki, who was possessing Yamaoka's body, couldn't help but clench his fists. He truly regretted accepting Dr. Otomo's invitation to infiltrate TPC.

Since arriving at TPC headquarters, things were a bit better at first, but in the last few days, the work has been nonstop. There are all sorts of research to do and all sorts of reports to write. I haven't slept for four or five days straight.

Leo and the others grumbled about how Zaki hadn't come to cause trouble yesterday. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't have the time!

On several occasions, even after Dr. Otomo and Yamazaki had gone to sleep, Zagi was still continuing his experiments. He even felt more like the project leader. Who goes undercover like this? Can this be called infiltration?

But for the sake of his own plans, Zaki had to endure it and continue to help. He could only tell himself that it was all worth it to gain greater power.

The group quickly finished their work, inserting a signal receiver into the monster's head—a painless and scarless procedure, of course—and then it was time to figure out how to wake it up.

"How about we give it a shot?" Yamazaki thought that would definitely work.

Do your parents slap you twice when they wake you up in the morning?

Dr. Otomo couldn't help but complain that Zagi was really exhausting to watch. He just wanted to finish these tasks as soon as possible and go back to sleep. Although Zagi himself didn't need to rest, this body couldn't stay awake.

There was no other way but to take action himself. Zagi secretly gathered his power, and the dark aura leaked out for a moment. Daigo and Komon immediately became alert and subconsciously looked around to see who it was.

But Zaki immediately suppressed his energy, thinking that he was indeed a member of ESCG, with an extraordinary level of awakening, able to sense his presence. However, he had already achieved his goal.

The monster sensed Zagi's terrifying aura and suddenly woke up. It looked around as if startled, then shrank back to its previous meteorite form.

"Uh, this is a bit cowardly." Daigo scratched his head. This monster seemed familiar. "Dr. Otomo, why don't you give it a try?"

"Oh, okay." Dr. Otomo was a little excited. Although Leo had said that he could communicate with Hilbagun, he himself hadn't had a chance to chat with Taganura yet.

After adjusting the machine, Dr. Otomo tentatively asked, "Can you hear me?"

The monster moved slightly, then tentatively opened a crack, and probably relaxed after realizing that the frightening aura was probably just an illusion.

"I can hear you, I can hear you. I'm sorry, Huan, I didn't scare you, did I? Ouch, my head is a little dizzy."

The monster's voice came through the translation machine; it sounded rather soft and a little timid.

However, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this monster could be communicated with and wasn't as ferocious as Gadi. If it were a truly ferocious monster, then they would have to explain their purpose to the Texas Beam.

"I wasn't really scared," Dr. Otomo quickly explained. "May I ask your name, and why you came to Earth?"

"Me? My name is Machina, I come from the planet Adran, and I've come to Earth to find someone."

"Looking for someone?" Dr. Otomo was taken aback; he hadn't expected that reason.

"Yes, many years ago, the planet Adran was invaded by the Naga. At that time, the Adran people placed Princess Saki on Earth to protect her. I have come to take her back."

"Why are they always the Naga?" everyone thought to themselves, feeling that the troubles in the universe were inextricably linked to the Naga.

"Excuse me, why are you only now coming to find someone?"

"Because the planet Adran only recently broke free from the control of the Naga, it is necessary for the princess to return and take over the reins."

At this point, the monster Machina was particularly excited and thrilled. Although it didn't know how these Earthlings could communicate with it, it had to be polite since it had barged in first.

"I don't know which civilization was so brave as to wipe out the Naga's vanguard fleet. As a result, the Naga were weakened and could no longer control our planets."

The Earthlings chose to remain silent, staring at each other with wide eyes, unsure what to say. Dr. Otomo soon received instructions from Leo.

"Well, although we don't know where the person you're looking for is, your body is too big, and you'll cause us trouble if you wander around. Why don't we help you find her? Do you know what that princess looks like?"

"Oh, really? Thank you so much!" Machina was surprised by such a good thing and nodded quickly. "I don't know what the princess looks like, I'm only a little over a hundred years old myself, but the princess should always be wearing the treasures of Planet Adran, just like this."

As he spoke, Dr. Otomo suddenly pictured something in his mind, and he immediately realized that this was the so-called treasure. He took out paper and pen and began to sketch.

Meanwhile, in the command center, Leo muttered to himself, "Saki, Saki... could it really be the same person?"

Leo then looked at Director Sawai and Ms. Renlong. Judging from their expressions, they should know the name Saki. Many years ago, the shrine had taken in a person named Saki, who always wore a pendant on her chest. Later, she disappeared without a trace.

Of course, the Special Investigation Division must have been keeping track of the other person's whereabouts all these years, so if it really is the same person, then finding them is really... well, looking at what Dr. Otomo drew, it really is the same person.

"Really?" Dr. Otomo covered his earphones in surprise and looked up at Machina. "Machina, we really do know where the princess you're looking for is. Please wait a moment, we'll contact her and come over soon!"

"However, we'd also like to know why you didn't send a spaceship but came here yourself?"

If it's for picking people up, a spaceship is definitely much better than a monster. At least it won't cause any unnecessary misunderstandings, and at least we can communicate.

If it weren't for Leo's suggestion to let Dr. Otomo give it a try, Machi would be long gone by now.

"Because I've heard that the road to Earth is very dangerous now, and that many extraterrestrials are thinking of invading your Earth, it's not safe for the princess to stay here."

"On the way here, I even ran into a Reicuran alien spaceship. They're no good; all they do is think about is invading others, and they have a very powerful fleet."

It seems the spaceship we just shot down belonged to the Reicuran aliens. Everyone nodded in realization, indicating they hadn't shot the wrong target.

"Are the Reicuran aliens very strong?" The spaceship has already been destroyed, so a fight is probably inevitable. I should ask first.

“Very strong.” Machina nodded repeatedly. “The Reicuran aliens have dozens of warriors who can grow to gigantic size; two of them can defeat a barrier monster.”

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat. Could the barrier monster be Zetton? But they still asked, "What kind of barrier monster is it?"

"It's a monster with big claws and whips on its hands, horns on its head, and the ability to create very powerful barriers."

Daigo couldn't help but nudge Komon, who was pondering how to explain the cause of the plane crash. "Why does this description sound so familiar?"

"Isn't that Gadi?" Dr. Otomo immediately realized, then took out a photo of Gadi, projected it, and showed it to Machina. "Is this it?"

"Ah, yes, yes, that's it! This kind of monster is incredibly powerful!"

The thought that it would take two Reicurans to deal with one Gadi put everyone's minds at ease. Well, they were just overthinking it.

What's wrong with these Earthlings? Why do they seem so unconcerned? Machina was a little curious, and then it saw a Zoga flying in from the sky.

Zoga's powerful aura made it tremble. The other party also noticed them, let out a cry, and swooped down, completely unaware that everyone's eyes were full of sympathy for it.

Immediately afterwards, Machi saw Zoga crash into an invisible barrier, his bird leg twitched twice, and then he fell to the ground.

Now Machina knows why she has a headache and decides that from now on, she must put her feet in front of her when flying.

"Little Gadi's barrier is really impressive. Do you think you can break it?"

"It will probably be very difficult."

Komon and Daigo whispered to each other, then gave a helpless, bitter smile. After all, they were sure to get scolded when they got back; who would have thought they'd end up like Captain Gento and the others?

Watching Fujiwara Juri easily shatter Zoga into pieces with the Texas Beam, Machina couldn't help but swallow hard. Its armor could withstand such a beam, but these Earthlings seemed to be much stronger than it had imagined.

Moreover, these Earthlings had very calm expressions, as if they were used to seeing monsters.

"Are these kinds of monsters common around here?"

"Zoga are not common, but there have been more recently. There are more Golza and Melba, and there are already eighty of them today. There are also more than thirty of Garula Gadi."

Seeing Dr. Otomo's nonchalant attitude, Machina suddenly felt that leaving the princess here might be safer than on Planet Adran.

Chapter 196 Ambitious Little Gadi

The princess of Planet Adran, whom Machina mentioned, also known as Saki, had always known that she was an alien and had accepted being the subject of the Special Investigation Division's attention. However, she was still surprised when she heard about her true identity.

Lucia and Zara, who lived with her, were even more surprised than she was. "Don't you know anything about your own identity?"

"I don't remember very clearly. I only have memories of when I came to Earth. I don't remember my home planet at all, but Machina... I remember that name. I have a deep sense of nostalgia for it."

Saki couldn't help but clutch her chest. Zara thought for a moment, "It seems that your home planet must have sent you away under duress back then. There may have been some accidents on your way to Earth that caused you to lose your memory."

Lucia agreed, but now that the planet Adran was looking for her, Saki was willing to return to her home planet.

She was too lonely on Earth, always watching her friends grow old one by one. Some regarded her as a divine messenger, while others saw her as a devil, but now they were all just dust in the world.

So she didn't choose to stay at the shrine because Asami was a good person, and she was worried that if she got too close to her, she would be even more heartbroken if she lost this friend.

“The planet Adran was once ruled by the Naga, and it must be in a lot of chaos now. Be careful and take good care of yourself.”

"Well, after I return to my home planet and arrange everything, I will prioritize diplomatic matters with Earth. I am very grateful for Earth's care over the years, and I really like this planet."

Saki had heard about the Cosmic Alliance project that TPC was leading, so she hoped to contribute her own strength to help everyone. After hearing about Lucia and Zara's situation, she also understood that the power of Planet Adran alone was not enough to survive in the universe.

As long as beings like the Naga and the Desis exist, they pose a threat to the entire universe, and civilizations like those on the planet Adran need to unite.

Just as Saki was packing her bags and Earth souvenirs to leave, preparations were also underway on Monster Island. Saki also expressed her thoughts to TPC, stating that she would definitely establish a friendship with Earth in the future.

"So, won't there be any problems if a princess who hasn't returned to her homeland for over a hundred years goes back to succeed to the throne?"

Daigo couldn't help but ask a question, and Dr. Otomo pondered it for a moment before asking Machina the same question.

"Problem? My parents say there's no problem. Anyway, in our family, we only listen to the princess. If anyone creates a problem, even if we can't solve the problem, surely we can deal with the person who raised the problem?"

Machina are considered divine beasts on the planet Adran. They are extremely rare, with only seven or eight in the entire universe. Moreover, they can only survive well in environments like Adran and Earth. The Naga people have to treat them to good food and drink.

Machina's combat strength is also quite good, at least its defense is really good. It can withstand the Texas Beam. Planet Adran isn't that strong. With their family helping out, there's no need to worry about Saki not being able to hold onto his position.

Then everyone fell silent again. It turns out that all the monsters on Planet Adran combined don't even spawn as many as Earth in a single day? My god, what a wonderful place that is!

On Earth, Machina was truly amazed. It had never seen so many monsters in its life. Just now, two more Melba crashed into Gadi's barrier and passed out, and were then cremated by Fujiwara Juri.

If it weren't for Monster Island administrator Chishan quickly calling out to Xiaogadi, Leo and the others from headquarters who had just arrived would probably have crashed as well.

"Deputy Staff Officer Gondo, it's you! Didn't the deputy captain come?" Everyone was a little incredulous to see that it was Gondo who had come.

“Vice Captain Leo and that Miss Ren went to Gadi’s side, leaving me to take charge of some things here.”

Gondo watched as he obediently sat on the ground chatting with Dr. Otomo, learning about Earth's Machina. He truly hadn't expected that talking to monsters was actually possible. He hadn't been entirely convinced of Dr. Otomo's research before, but now it seemed that Vice-Captain Leo's decision was correct.

Upon hearing Gondo mention this, Daigo and Komon immediately appeared beside him, whispering, "Deputy Staff Officer Gondo, is the girl next to Vice Captain Leo named Ren?"

“Yes.” Gondo nodded; he had just found out as well.

"Do you know what her relationship is with the vice-captain?" Gu Men's eyes were sharp. Although they had almost guessed it, they still felt it was better to find out more.

Gondo thought for a moment, "I don't know, but when they came here in the Flying Swallow No. 1, they were sitting together in the back seat, so they must be very good friends."

Now, Daigo and Komon's gazes towards Deputy Chief of Staff Gondo became even more strange.

"Officer Gondo, if I may ask, are you single?"

"Yes, sigh, my old man has been urging me several times already."

There's a reason this guy has been single for so long. Daigo and Komon exchanged a glance, then decided to ignore him.

But Miss Ren and Vice Captain Leo are sitting in the same driver's seat... Hmm, this is a sure thing!

"It's really surprising, though. She's such a young girl, yet her access level in TPC is higher than mine." Gondo recalled how shocked he was when he first learned about this.

Daigo and Komon were also taken aback for a moment before realizing what he had said, "That Miss Ren is of a very high level?"

"Yeah, I heard he's on par with Vice Captain Leo, a very skilled monster research scholar. Anyway, that's what Vice Captain Leo said."

Since the vice-captain has said so, then it must be true. However, everyone still thought that this Miss Ren was just Leo's girlfriend.

However, this does explain why the other party was able to directly enter TPC and even come to their ESCG command room. Their position is higher than that of ordinary defense team members. Could it be that Director Sawai introduced them to each other?

Since she joined when TPC was founded, it wasn't surprising to Leo that Ms. Renlong's rank was very high, but he didn't expect it to be even higher than Gondo's.

Leo hadn't expected Renlong to want to come to Monster Island with him to see this immature Gadi, but he felt a little embarrassed that the two of them had been crammed together on the fighter jet earlier.

Renlong was obviously doing it on purpose. TPC wasn't so poor that they needed to squeeze three people into one fighter jet. She just wanted to get closer to Leo, but since Kondo was piloting in front, they could only stick together.

"It's right here." Administrator Chishan pointed to an open space with a large hole in it, which was obviously dug out by Xiaoga.

The nature of Gadi is to live underground, and this is especially true for Little Gadi. Whenever there is any disturbance outside, this little guy will immediately throw out a barrier and then frantically dig a hole down, at least a thousand meters deep, before he feels a little safe.

"This dog is very strange. How should I put it? You know its personality is different from other dogs. It's not as aggressive, and it's even quite friendly to us, probably because we feed it."

"But I'm too timid, so it's quite difficult to get close to it..."

No sooner had the administrator, Chishan, finished speaking than he saw, as if he'd seen a ghost, Gadi's tentacles emerge from the hole, followed by that not-so-big head. This little guy had actually appeared on his own initiative!?

Little Gadi turned his head left and right, finally fixing his gaze on Leo. He crawled out of the hole and took small steps toward them.

"Please don't be afraid, it shouldn't mean any harm," Administrator Chi Shan quickly explained, but he was also a little worried. After all, Leo's reputation for being decisive and ruthless was well-known, and he was concerned that Xiao Ga might hurt the other party.

"It's okay, we're not afraid." Leo waved his hand easily. Little Gadi's talent was indeed very strong, but no matter how strong it was, it was useless if it wasn't developed. Although it had achieved the feat of causing four Ultramen to crash, it still posed no threat to Leo.

Moreover, this little guy had no ill intentions. It just sensed the aura on Leo and couldn't help but come out out of curiosity. Leonics has a strong attraction to ordinary monsters, especially Leo, who makes it easier for monsters to feel trust and goodwill towards him.
