Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 568 Main Quest: Valaron's Whereabouts

With the threat gone, or at least on the surface, Ultraman Blaze's wild aura quickly faded, his massive body dissipated into particles of light, and Gento Hiruma reappeared on the ground, rubbing his aching back with a weary expression.

A beam of light shone down from the giant Belial head in the sky, and an elegant figure slowly descended—it was the Mefilas alien.

He ignored everything around him and headed straight for the rooftop of the high-rise building, intending to report to His Majesty the Emperor.

But he had only taken two steps when he was stopped by a figure dressed in red and blue.

Ultraman Zero stood with his hands on his hips, tilted his head, and scrutinized him with a critical gaze.

"Oh? Isn't this the famous gentleman alien, Mefilas?"

Zero's tone held a hint of amusement, "How did you end up here, and even become that guy's subordinate?"

Mefilas stopped and gracefully bowed to Zero, his face filled with a fervent pride, as if he were reciting a divine oracle.

"I am not anyone's subordinate; I merely follow behind a great monarch, clearing obstacles for love and peace in the universe, bringing the light of order to lost civilizations, and bringing down the hammer on evil mired in darkness, for..."

"???"

This is just trying to fool people.

Zero waved his hand impatiently, "Speak like a human."

Mefilas's expression froze for a moment, then he said in an even more reverent tone, "I am serving a supreme being who can end all conflict and bring true and eternal peace to the multiverse. His will is the only direction we can take."

As Zero listened to the flattery, his expression grew increasingly strange.

He turned his head and looked at Lin Yu on the rooftop with an indescribable expression.

"Lin Yu, isn't your perverse sense of humor a little... a bit too unique?"

Zero's tone was full of sarcasm, "Are you serious? You've transformed Belial's weapon of war into a force to protect the universe. It sounds absurd, but I have to admit, I really admire you."

Lin Yu looked at him expressionlessly.

Looking at the enormous Caesar Star before him, and then at Lin Yu's top-notch "waste utilization" operation, Zero exclaimed that he was an expert.

He couldn't help but sigh.

I was clearly too naive.

A sudden realization dawned on Zero.

Since its inception, his Ultimate Zero Guard has not even had a proper base. The members all wander the universe with him, just like interstellar gypsies.

[The Ultimate Zero Guard: Zero, shouldn't we have a home?]

Look at those predecessors, they just made a planetary-level fortress with one move, they can go anywhere with impunity.

No, once this matter is settled, I'll have to find a way to set up a base.

Ideally, it would be a mobile fortress that can move around freely!

Zero secretly made up his mind.

Then, as if remembering something, he pointed to the ice-white robots that had flown out of Caesar's planet and were now back in standby mode.

"Speaking of which, Lin Yu, those one-eyed robots wearing heavy armor give me a very familiar feeling."

Zero's tone carried a hint of teasing.

"Yes, that's the feeling."

Lin Yu's words were concise and to the point.

Zero's expression froze for a moment, then he gave a knowing smile.

He gave Lin Yu a thumbs up.

"Thanks! Looks like we have the same taste! What I can't stand the most are guys who have a face similar to mine and cause trouble everywhere!"

The light emanating from Zero faded, and he reverted to his human form, Moroboshi Makoto.

Meanwhile, Mefilas had already located the four shaken Zirnia aliens.

Under the absolute power and the majesty of "His Majesty the Emperor," the negotiations proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

The old man revealed all the information he knew about the Zirnia alien empire.

Since we've already cut it, let's cut it all the way through.

After receiving accurate information, Mefilas respectfully returned to Lin Yu and bowed deeply, patting his chest.

"Your Majesty, the intelligence has been obtained. I will set off immediately to clear the dust from the Milky Way for you."

Just as he was preparing to return to Caesars, Sylvie suddenly spoke up, her electronic eyes flashing with data streams.

“Master, based on the last signal wave emitted by the Zirnia executioner's ship, I have traced back to a hidden communication channel. The analysis results show that at the edge of this universe, there seems to be a lost reconnaissance fleet of the Belial Empire responsible for searching for the location of the Land of Light.”

"It can be recycled."

Lin Yu waved his hand, looking like he couldn't be bothered to get involved: "You guys can handle this yourselves."

Upon hearing this, Mefilas's body jolted violently.

His Majesty the Emperor... is he giving us autonomy? He didn't give specific instructions, but instead told us to make our own judgments and handle things ourselves.

What trust and what high regard this represents!
Mefilas's heart was instantly filled with immense fervor and emotion.

As expected of His Majesty the Emperor, his magnanimity is as vast as the universe.

I must do an even better and more perfect job so as not to let His Majesty down!
"As ordered."

Mefilas's voice trembled with excitement. He bowed deeply again, and the moment he turned around, his fighting spirit had reached its peak.

In the sky, the red light in the eye sockets of the enormous Belial head shone brightly.

To avoid its massive mass affecting Earth's orbit, Caesar's engines activated, tearing open a massive dimensional rift. The grotesque head slowly entered and disappeared.

Looking at the departing planetary fortress, Zero was filled with emotion.

He turned to Lin Yu and said, "Lin Yu, I have to go too. I need to see for myself how that gentleman alien will use this power."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something, and a mischievous smile spread across his face.

"Speaking of which, that 'Ultimate Galactic Universe Emperor' he just mentioned... Pfft, sorry, sorry, that's how it's pronounced, right?"

Zero laughed as he mimicked Mefilas's tone.

"I must say, you really do have some of Belial's style. However, what you did was far better than what that guy did."

A tic-tac-toe pattern slowly appeared on Lin Yu's forehead.

Hey kid, who are you implying something about here?
Ultraman Tiga is petty; I'll remember this grudge.

After everyone left, the battlefield finally returned to calm.

Lin Yu opened the terminal on his wrist and looked at the last piece of information that Sylvie had sent him before she left.

It was an energy analysis report on the "cosmic bomb monster Valaron," which marked several high-energy reaction zones that were most likely to attract its appearance.

The main questline is finally starting to make progress.

Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction.

"that……"

Hiruma Gento approached, looking haggard. He pointed to the wrecked riverbed behind him, then to the giant head that had vanished from the sky. "Mr. Lin Yu, this...this mess..."

He felt like his head had two big heads.

A meteorite falls, a monster army appears, two Ultramen descend, and finally, a Belial head larger than the Earth appears.

How should this report be written?
Would anyone believe me if I wrote this down?
Gu, just kill me...

"Sorry, sorry." Lin Yu patted him on the shoulder, expressing sympathy.

"I'm leaving."

"I haven't finished eating Huimei's snacks yet."

Risa, standing to the side, sighed like a little adult, her face full of regret.

Meanwhile, Aobe Megumi, who had returned to the SKaRD base, was preparing to clean up the mess left by the party. When she opened her snack cabinet, she was completely stunned.

The cupboard, which should have been completely empty, was now crammed full of all her favorite snacks.

At the very top of the pile of snacks, there was a cute sticky note.

Huimei picked up the note; it had a line of crooked but cute handwriting on it.

【Thank you for your hospitality, Emi-neechan. These are gifts in return. — Risa Nanase】

Huimei covered her mouth, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and then she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Nanase Risa? She's a really nice little girl."

On the riverbank, Lin Yu formally bid farewell to Xianren.

"By the way, could you please arrange identities for those four musicians? They are all good people."

"No, you can't leave!"

The String Man was about to break down, "My report..."

Lin Yu's figure has begun to become transparent.

He waved to Gento, and with a spatial jump, he and Risa vanished from their spot in an instant.

Only Hiruma Gento was left, bewildered in the evening breeze.

He looked around at the empty surroundings, and then thought about the mountain of paperwork and the fantastical incident reports.

This battle-hardened, calm, and reliable SKaRD captain finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Gan!"
