Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

But the truth is that Subaru didn't want to deal with this kind of thing at all. The Ultra Brothers could clearly feel his emotional indifference. The moment he learned the truth, he gave people the feeling of 'Wow, that's outrageous, that's explosive. Okay, I'm done being surprised, let's get down to business.'

There was none of the heartwarming scene they had imagined, nor any of the troubles they had anticipated. The long-awaited reunion ended in such an extremely uneventful way. They thought about many things, but for that child, the Land of Light was just a signpost on his journey. He, Subaru, was just a passerby in the Land of Light. His ultimate destination was only that blue planet.

To be honest, they never imagined that such a four-year-old could have such a strong sense of purpose and drive, to the point that they couldn't find any reason to dissuade him. Moreover, if it were an Ultraman from the Land of Light who found such a worthwhile goal to strive for throughout his life, the Ultra Brothers would not stop him; they would be too happy for him to even think about it.

so...

So be it.

The original Ultraman silently pulled Seven up, responding to the call of Hikari Ultraman's autograph, and went to the laboratory to assemble. No matter what the outcome of this reunion was, they could not delay their next action, after all, they were Ultra Warriors of the Land of Light.

On the other side, Gen Subaru headed straight for the nearest cyan torch. Although he passed by many planets affected by the cyan radiation along the way, he took a good look and did not see any human-like beings. He dealt with the monsters that appeared and continued on his way to his destination.

As Gen Subaru extinguished two cyan-green torches and was conducting deductions using the Ark Bracelet, a strange light appeared. It was Regedo who had appeared. Although the universe was vast, the continuous disappearance of cyan-green radiation points in such a short period of time had caught Regedo's attention.

Seeing this legendary warrior suddenly appear, Gen Subaru was quite surprised. However, since the man had come, it would be impolite to let this senior leave without asking him a few questions. Therefore, Gen Subaru activated the recording function on his bracelet and eagerly stepped forward to inquire about the release of [Aurora Power] and [Spark Legend].

"Ah, this... well, try to understand it from a different perspective."

To be honest, Regedo hadn't expected that upon meeting him, Gen Ang would start asking questions right after greeting him. This... this junior was so eager to learn, and he couldn't dampen the little kid's enthusiasm, could he? But gradually, Regedo started to feel a bit overwhelmed. After all, he had never even considered something like the [Aurora Spark Bomb], let alone the [Super Acceleration Spark Bomb]—what kind of bizarre uses were those?

However, he is still a child, and it is commendable that he has ideas and thoughts, especially the method of [self-amplification]. This is very good. Although there is no problem of insufficient light energy for Regedo, he is still happy to see others make use of what he has taught them.

Therefore, Regedo patiently explained to Gen Subaru the various issues and adjustment plans when releasing skills, and asked him to demonstrate by grabbing Bemstar, the cosmic monster causing destruction in the neighboring galaxy, and using him as a target so that Gen Subaru could observe the activation reaction of light energy.

Under Regedo's guidance, Gen Subaru suddenly understood, and the smoothness of his skill release improved dramatically. This pleased Regedo, who patted Gen Subaru on the shoulder with a smile. Although he didn't say much, what could a teacher be dissatisfied with such a studious and capable student?

"Study hard and don't slack off. Don't try any outrageous methods. The Aurora Power and the Legend of Sparks don't need such fancy branches. Also, you need to pay attention to your own situation. The upper limit of what you can absorb is not as high as you think."

Reggie patiently gave Subaru instructions, then waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Alright, you can continue with your work. I still need to find someone. See you later."

"Goodbye, Senior Legend."

Although he wanted to take the opportunity to ask about the future improvement direction of [Super Dimensional Ultra Bomb Modified V5.2843], Senior Legend had already answered many of his questions, saving him a lot of time. Since Senior Legend had things to do, he couldn't be rude and keep bothering him. Therefore, Gen Subaru politely said goodbye to Senior Legend.

Then, in the next second, Legend disappeared into the light, and Gen Subaru flew towards the new star field, searching for the whereabouts of the green torch.

Wow! Saga has a good eye for people. No wonder he gave [Super Acceleration] to that kid.

Meanwhile, Regedo, who had just left, was still immersed in relief and joy. To be honest, he had only taught Genjiro those skills and knowledge because of Saga.

Furthermore, he never imagined that the child could master the [Power of Aurora] and [Legend of Spark]. To be honest, the prerequisites for cultivating these two skills are quite high; they can't be taught by just anyone.

And this little guy not only learned it, but he can also apply what he's learned to other situations. That's really impressive. It's great to have such a student. Well, the lesson is over. I have more important things to do now. I need to find Yuan... Yuan...

Regedo, floating in the interdimensional space, suddenly stopped, remaining frozen in that stiff position, like an exquisite and beautiful statue. After a short while, the legendary warrior slapped his face. Luckily, no one had seen his stupid appearance, otherwise he would have been utterly humiliated. Who else could he go to? He was going to see that kid, Genmaru.

Could it be that I'm just getting old and my memory is failing?

Regedo looked up silently, then turned and reappeared in front of Gen Subaru.

"Senior Regedo, is there something you need?"

Seeing Regedo reappear, Genji, who was grabbing Babar Alien by the neck and punching him, asked in surprise, "Could it be that this senior just left something with me? No, there's no place to put anything in this Nexus form."

"Cough, it's nothing."

Regedo pointed at the Babar alien, and the alien was banished into the spacetime turbulence. He walked up to Subaru and whispered:

"Release the pure white light so I can examine it carefully."

"Okay, senior."

Without hesitation, Gen Subaru released the light. Regedo examined it closely. Indeed, this was pure engine power, without any trace of being affected or distorted by the primordial crystal. After such close observation, Regedo realized that the power he had lent to Noah seemed to act as a chelating agent, stabilizing the energy form.

But such a result is undoubtedly contradictory. Reggie frowned slightly and looked at Gen Subaru, asking:

"Where is your physical body? I want to see it."

"This... I didn't bring it with me, and... my body should be broken by now, right? I do have some data here, would you like to take a look, Senior Regedo?"

Gen Subaru was relieved that he hadn't deleted too much of the past data to make room for others. He quickly provided the information, hoping it would clear up his senior's doubts. Reggie looked at the data and then at the pure white light. Finally, he placed his hand on Gen Subaru. He knew about Gen Subaru's inhuman origins and had therefore anticipated the terrible physical data.

However, TLT's technological level was far behind. The data they derived, while not entirely without reference value in the face of Regedo's doubts, was not much.

Regedo originally intended to go directly to the plane where Gen Subaru's body was located, but he also saw the final seal released by Noah. Once that skill was activated, even Regedo would have a great headache when trying to break through it. Therefore, this legendary warrior decided to look for answers in Gen Subaru's current body.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Gen Subaru cooperated by releasing all his defenses and letting Legend's power pass over his body. Afterward, the two Ultra Warriors remained silent for a long time until Legend let go, breaking the deathly silence.

"I have a few thoughts about your situation."

Looking at the curious Subaru, Regedo thought for a moment and decided to give him an answer, saying softly:

"This is just speculation. These ideas may be overturned before I see your physical body, so don't take them too seriously."

"Senior, please just say it."

Subaru looked at Regedo with a puzzled expression and said:

"I consider myself to have a relatively high tolerance for stress, but what exactly are you checking? What am I involved in?"

"Um, Subaru, have you ever thought about this...?"

Regedo looked at the child in front of him, and instead of answering his question, he said softly:

"You are actually a dead person now."

190 Subaru: The Truth of Origin

Huh? I'm already dead now.

Upon hearing Lei Jieduo's words, Yuan Mao hadn't yet reacted, after all, in his current state, he really had no connection with a living person.

"No, I mean, you..."

Regedo realized his words were inappropriate, so he quickly corrected himself, saying:

"Ever since you gained consciousness, you've been a dead person—no, I mean, you've never truly lived, or rather...."

Regedo felt his words were somewhat inappropriate and wanted to rephrase them more tactfully, but he felt he was only making things worse. Gen Ang calmly waved his hand, telling Regedo not to worry about his feelings; he wasn't so easily offended. He said softly:

"Senior Regedo, could you tell me what exactly happened?"

"So, you've already been to Timefall and seen your 'past,' right?"

"Ah."

Gen Subaru nodded. It seemed that Senior Legend also knew how he was born, and what he wanted to tell him was probably the same question that had been troubling him: how he had survived under those circumstances.

Seeing that Genjiro was so calm, Regedo didn't bother to organize his thoughts and simply said:

"In that case, you must have seen the battle between Noah and [Primal Matter], right?"

[Primordial substance]?

This was the first time Minamoto had heard this term, but there was no doubt that it referred to the thing attached to him. Minamoto did not start asking questions about the "Primal Matter" now, but patiently listened to Legend's subsequent explanation.

Regedo hadn't anticipated the scene. Clearly, Noah had gone berserk. In that state, if he could kill the [Primal Matter], he would probably do it even if it possessed him. If the [Final Seal] had truly sealed the [Primal Matter], there was no doubt that its cosmic plane would have been reduced to a state of chaos.

The problem now is that the final seal did not succeed, but instead accidentally sealed the cosmic plane where Gen Subaru was located after passing through the spacetime turbulence.

This is understandable, since Noah's moves are all lock-on, and encountering [Primal Energy] is equivalent to directly unlocking the lock. At that time, Gen Subaru also had a blue-green light on his body, so it is understandable that he was misjudged by the final seal.

But then problems arose.

Although Regedo did not participate in the design of the engine, and did not even know how Noah created the engine, the simplest truths are the best. Once you reach a certain level of strength and have the corresponding perspective, you can understand the general situation even if you cannot build it.

so....

If Regedo's reasoning is correct, after the final seal locked down the plane where Subaru resided, it also severed the connection between the engine power and the primal energy and his corresponding physical form, and then...

These two energy clusters, which were suddenly forced to become independent, began to act on their own.

Reggie couldn't guess exactly how this process unfolded, but there was no doubt that neither side gained an advantage in the end. Both remained in a state of dormancy. The [Primal Energy] occupied Yuan Mao's body, allowing his body, which should have died, to continue walking as a living person after being [distorted by the rules of reality].

The [Engine Power] is hidden within... no, rather, it's more accurate to say that Subaru's soul itself was created by the [Engine Power], just like the intricate parts of an engine are hidden under a hard shell for protection. Subaru's soul is the 'shell' that exists.

This unique origin of the soul leads to...

Thinking of this, Regedo looked at the child in front of him and put the topic aside. If his speculation was correct, then the truth was too cruel for the child. He didn't have many years left to live, so he shouldn't be subjected to this shock.

So, Reggie changed the subject and started talking about something else.

Because the [Engine Power] and [Primal Crystal] ceased functioning, the power within Subaru's body began to activate, and...

If Regedo remembers correctly, that [Primal Essence] itself possesses an ability similar to 'Imprinting,' capable of plundering the abilities of its opponents. If Noah hadn't been quite skilled, he would probably have been beaten to death by [Imprinted Noah] long ago. And now...

The 'Light of Nexus' that Gen Subaru is currently using is probably an imprint of the [Primal Energy] instinct. No wonder his 'Nexus' form looks so strange. If the 'Light of Nexus' that Noah properly inherited is a +10 enhanced greatsword, then the one Gen Subaru is currently using is a +1 enhanced small spoon.

All I can say is that if he hadn't had a large energy reserve, which allowed him to maintain the intensity, he probably would have died long ago.

As for the fact that Gen Subaru was born with a long blue bar, it is probably not because of his inherited genes. The biggest role played by those two unfortunate conflicting genes is that they force the [Primal Energy] occupying the body to be distracted in maintaining the balance of the body, thus indirectly sharing the pressure of the [Engine Power].

As for their later ability to rise and be used as combat power, it was all thanks to the increase in their mana bar limit caused by [Primal Energy], and Subaru's self-development.

Based on this, Regedo could understand why Gen Subaru's body had collapsed. Clearly, Gen Subaru had placed little importance on developing his physical body, focusing instead on researching his own energy and psychic power, which led to the rapid growth of his [Engine Power].

This inevitably leads to the collapse of the body. After all, once the [Primal Energy] is unable to maintain the balance of the physical body, those two unlucky things, no, those two incompatible genes will keep causing trouble. Even if the TLT technology is maxed out, it's only a matter of time before lifespan ends.

To be fair, with those two troublemakers around, it's truly remarkable that Subaru Genji has managed to develop the Light of Nexus to this extent.

After reflecting on that, another situation arose before Subaru: the engine was ready to operate, and since it was going to work, the entire system would start simultaneously. This outer shell... was naturally part of the engine, and the 'engine power' excelled at assimilation. In other words...

[Subaru] is about to disappear. When the new [Engine] is fully activated, this child will be completely dead. His thoughts, his soul, will cease to exist. Although even Noah didn't expect that his initial pursuit would result in another one...
