I might be a fake Ultraman.

Baili Yuan hadn't even had a chance to express his joy at reuniting with Shazi.

He was pulled out of bed by Hua Hua.

This made Baili Yuan realize that everything just now was a dream. The calendar on the bedside table clearly showed that it was still 2018.

No, to be precise, 2018 ended yesterday, and today is the first day of 2019.

Baili Yuan forgot to check the calendar; the first thing he did after getting up was to change to a new calendar.

"Darling~~~ Today is New Year's Day, a perfect day for a date! Let's go to the shrine to pray~"

Hua Hua has changed into a kimono and looks quite glamorous.

"Yes yes yes~"

Baili Yuan rubbed his forehead helplessly, then happily changed his clothes.

As for the dream I just had.

"That might be a sign, or... a glimpse into the future."

Baili Yuan had already made up his mind.

This body's talent was unexpected; even though Baili Yuan tried for a long time, he was unable to fully develop the potential that belonged to Zi-O.

It will always bring new surprises to Bailiyuan.

My uncle wanted to cook a meal at home.

However, Hua Hua rejected the idea, as she wanted to go out and play.

Faced with the idea of ​​Hua Hua, who was suspected to be his future nephew's wife, the uncle simply couldn't refuse.

So today, the entire church staff set off from 9 am to 5 pm to go to the shrine to pray.

Then they experienced the sheer number of people at the shrine.

Gates looked displeased, arms crossed, dressed as usual, looking cool.

"I don't believe in any gods!"

"This fox spirit is very efficacious, don't say such things at the shrine!" the uncle repeatedly reminded him. "Besides, what if your prayers come true?"

Faced with his great-uncle, Gates obediently put his hands down and joined the queue.

At least Gates still respected his great-uncle.

Hana and Tsukuyomi were both very interested, and Tsukuyomi even changed into a beautiful kimono.

Actually, both Hana and Tsukuyomi's kimonos were printed by Tsukuyomi using her magical tablet, and they are both very gorgeous.

Baili Yuan followed behind with a smile, looking around with a slight smile on his face.

The older sister and aunt who came today were both dressed beautifully, but Baili Yuan still has to say—

"Purple is definitely the most charming color!"

A cough seemed to ring in Baili Yuan's ear, as if someone was reminding him not to make any expressions that were inappropriate for his status.

However, it seemed like only a blink of an eye, and Baili Yuan transformed back into that sunny, cheerful young man.

Soon, it was Baili Yuan and his group's turn.

Looking at the nine-tailed fox enshrined in the shrine, with its red and white color scheme, Baili Yuan inexplicably felt a strange sense of déjà vu about this fox god.

The uncle rang a bell, the crowd tossed in coins, and then began to pray.

My uncle prayed silently: May everyone have a smooth and successful year ahead.
Gates stated his wish directly, clasping his hands together and glaring at Baili Yuan while saying with murderous intent, "I must defeat Zi-O!"

The uncle looked puzzled. Had Gates and Sougo recently had a falling out?
Seeing Gates like this, Tsukuyomi also expressed her wish. She clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly: "I hope the world will not be destroyed in the future, and that peace will continue."

Uncle started sweating. What's wrong with him today? Why is Tsukuyomi starting to say things I can't understand?
Baili Yuan smiled slightly, keeping his hands clasped together, and expressed his wish: "In that case, I will become king, rule the world, and let the world continue to exist under my will!"

Uncle: "!!!"

Oh no! Being king is no longer enough for his good nephew; he wants to rule the world!

Gates was instantly enraged. He and Tsukuyomi stood on the same side, glaring at Baili Yuan, as if flames were burning behind them. Baili Yuan, on the other hand, slightly raised his chin, seemingly unconcerned about others' opinions. His imposing manner was in no way inferior to that of Gates and Tsukuyomi.

Hua Hua suddenly opened her arms wide and shouted with joy, "My wish is that everyone's wishes come true!"

The uncle smiled awkwardly: "I think it's better not to."

The next second, the giant bell fell from the top and smashed through the floor.

The statue of the Nine-Tailed Fox God moved without wind, mysteriously falling to the ground and off the shrine.

Clearly, the fox god felt it couldn't bear these wishes.

The shrine staff stared in disbelief, then angrily drove Baili Yuan and his group out of the shrine.

These changes must be because of Baili Yuan and his group!
"Hmph, as expected of Oma Zi-O, who is born evil, even the gods can't stand it anymore," Geiz retorted.

Tsukuyomi said something fair: "I think it was all an accident, and there is no evidence of the existence of God."

Baili Yuan replied, "If anyone dares to block my path, even if they are a god, I will kill them!"

Hua Hua cheered, "So handsome! So handsome! That line is so cool!"

The uncle felt like he was taking care of a group of immature children. He sighed and then smiled to smooth things over.

"Since we can't stay at the shrine, let's go out for a big meal today...it's on me!"

Baili Yuan: "Yay!"

Hua Hua: "Long live Uncle!"

Tsukuyomi: "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Gates nodded and mumbled, "Thank you."

The group passed by a tanuki ramen shop.

A brother and sister were entering the ramen shop together.

"Jinghe, don't be discouraged if you fail the interview. I'll treat you to your favorite Tanuki Ramen!"

"Big sister, you're so kind!"

"When did a new ramen shop open here?" Uncle asked, somewhat puzzled.

The group moved on.

As I passed by the square, I saw a young girl dancing in front of a camera, with two foreign bodyguards protecting her.

“Young people these days are so energetic, Zhuang Wu. Are you interested in becoming an internet celebrity?” Uncle asked expectantly.

Baili Yuan pondered for a moment.

"If they're recruiting online..."

Uncle noticed that Gates and Tsukuyomi's expressions were off again, and quickly raised his hand to stop Baili Yuan from saying anything more.

"Alright, alright, let's go eat."

The group passed a coffee shop and headed to the old shop chosen by their uncle, which they heard had very good food.

Inside the coffee shop, a young girl dressed in gothic clothing is sipping her coffee.

Like a cat, I sit by the window, enjoying the warmth of the sunlight.

Swartz appeared behind the girl and said in a deep voice, "Confused girl, do you crave power?"

Sazi put down her coffee, turned her head slightly, and gazed at Swartz with eyes as deep as still water, or as unfathomable as the deepest abyss.

For some reason, when faced with those eyes, Swartz felt as if he were about to be swallowed by darkness.

But Swartz quickly dismissed his unease and smiled as he revealed his purpose.

"Sazi, it seems you're looking for someone. This power might be able to help you!"

Swartz reached out, and the Alternative Dark Cat's watch face appeared in his hand. (End of Chapter)
