Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"It's okay, I can handle it!"

Hearing Gen Subaru's words, Asakura Riku immediately thought of the plot of a tokusatsu drama, recalling the episode where Flashman underwent arduous training under the guidance of a master to acquire new gadgets and forms. Therefore, the little guy responded to Gen Subaru with great enthusiasm.

However, at this moment, Asakura Riku remembered something, quickly glanced at the time, it was eight o'clock in the morning, and he hurriedly looked at the management system and said:

"Um, could you connect to Tokyo TV channels?"

"Yes, Master."

The management system immediately turned on the TV channel on the projector. Gen Subaru looked over curiously, wondering what had made Asakura Riku so excited. Then, the morning news appeared on the projected TV, reporting on yesterday's monster incident.

Gen Subaru glanced at Asakura Riku, who was full of anticipation, nodded in realization, smiled helplessly, and then continued to deal with the matters at hand. At this moment, he suddenly sensed that the atmosphere here was not quite right. He turned around again and saw that Asakura Riku's expression was a bit strange and stiff, as if he had been frightened. However, the projection only showed him as Geed.

Is he really unhappy with his original appearance? Oh... these things are hard to change.

They look so alike...

"Huh?! What does it look like?"

At that moment, Minamoto no Subaru heard Asakura Riku's whisper and instinctively pressed for an answer. Then, before Asakura Riku could reply, he realized what was happening and continued speaking:

"He is, after all, your father. It's natural that you look somewhat like him."

"Senior, you mean the dark giant in the Impack crisis..."

Asakura Riku pointed to himself and said incredulously:

"Is he my biological father?!"

"Ah, that's right. Your father's name is Belial. As for me... I don't think I've introduced myself yet. Have I introduced myself or not? Oh dear, I can't remember. Well then, I'll just say it formally again."

Minamoto Subaru slightly enlarged his body, stood on the table, and looked directly at Asakura Riku, saying:

“My name is Subaru Minamoto, I am Ultraman Nexus, the guardian of Earth from another universe, and another giant of light who caused the Impaler crisis. Also, Riku Asakura, in terms of the genetic experiment sequence, I should be ahead of you, so you can call me brother. Hmm... brother sounds pretty good too.”

365 Xiao Lu: Yuan Mao Ge

"......."X2

Gen Subaru recounted the situation in a very calm tone, which caused Asakura Riku and Peja to momentarily overload their minds. After a brief silence, the two of them took a deep breath in unison, and just as they were about to shout "Eh—!!!", they each stuffed a small snack into their mouths, interrupting their spellcasting.

"The space here isn't very big, so it will be very noisy if you shout."

To deal with this, Gen Subaru continued to operate the red ball. His method of repairing the management system was very crude. Although it was running now, it was still not good enough as a base for Asakura Riku and others to operate in the long term. It needed to be improved.

"I...I know."

Asakura Riku weakly removed the snack that had been plugging his mouth, looking curiously at Gen Subaru. The past twenty-four hours had been so overwhelming that his mind was momentarily blank, not to mention that the Impack crisis had actually been caused by his own father and brother...

What is this? Is it a family feud?

Also, what exactly is a gene biochemical experimental sequence? It doesn't seem like something that should appear in the conversation about family reunions.

Could it be... that my background is even more complicated than that of Flashy Man...?

Could it be... that my existence and that of Gen Subaru are mass-produced? Do we need some kind of brutal internal conflict to...?

"Don't get agitated. Instead of overthinking, why don't you come and ask me?"

Listening to Asakura Riku's increasingly heavy breathing, Gen Subaru guessed the little guy's complicated thoughts. To be honest, Gen Subaru felt like complaining. Why did he have to keep things to himself? He could have gotten the answer by asking. Why did he have to keep thinking about it? If a misunderstanding was caused, who knows how much effort it would take to clear it up.

"Well, judging from your expression, you don't seem to know where to begin. Well then, I'll start from the beginning. A long, long time ago, our father of genes, the hero of the Land of Light, Ultraman Belial..."

Although Subaru's "opening move" seemed to start with the creation of the world by Pangu, he actually used very concise and precise language to tell Asakura Riku and Pega about the past.

Even so, Asakura Riku still felt that digesting these things was too mentally taxing, and it was as if his own worldview had been reshaped.

Meanwhile, during the narration, because Riku Asakura also spoke up and participated in the conversation, Subaru Gen realized that Ultraman Geed's way of thinking was significantly influenced by the tokusatsu drama called "Flashman." He multitasked and watched the entire tokusatsu drama at several times the speed.

Then, considering that Asakura Riku was probably a loyal fan of this tokusatsu series, Gen Subaru went through the relevant setting materials and the direction of the discussions about this tokusatsu series on the forum.

In the end, all Gen Subaru could say was that people's ability to fill in the gaps and create derivative works was quite astonishing. In his eyes, what was clearly a somewhat childish tokusatsu drama with some educational episodes had been forcibly supplemented with a tendency towards a dark side.

I guess... Asakura Riku has also come into contact with these things. He's already so old, he's lived so many years longer than me, he must have some of his own judgment. At least he can distinguish between TV dramas and reality.

Gen Subaru sighed inwardly. Having little experience in this area and no interest in it, he found it difficult to understand Asakura Riku's feelings. Therefore, he stopped dwelling on it. He didn't understand, but he respected his decision, as long as he didn't hold anyone back.

"So, Gen Subaru-nii, the way you are now..."

At this moment, Asakura Riku also realized what was happening. Looking at Gen Subaru, who had returned to the size of a figure, he said with some concern:

"Was it because you were seriously injured after your battle with your father? Um, how can I help you recover to the state you were in during the Impack Crisis?"

"No, to be honest, I'm not injured, I'm just short of energy... or more accurately, this projection is short of energy."

Subaru was not lying. During the Impaler Crisis, he held a certain advantage in the battle against Belial. Even in the final clash, Subaru did not feel much danger. It was only under the impact of [Order] and [Chaos] that [Spacetime] was the first to give way, resulting in a rupture. Subaru could only release the remaining power of truth to repair the damaged battlefield.

Meanwhile, Gen Subaru was also in a summoned state. His main body was still in the TLT Earth universe. Although Gen Subaru could use this projection to leave a spacetime anchor on Earth in this universe, and then release the summons, his consciousness would return to his main body, and then he would rush here again.

However, that would take too much time. There are still too many parallel worlds in this vast universe. Even for Subaru, it would take a lot of time to locate them and travel there, which is undoubtedly not worthwhile.

Because, Gen Subaru felt that even in his current state, he still possessed the power to defeat Belial, or rather, the ability to thwart Belial's plans. This wasn't just boasting; the energy stored in this projection could still activate those few skills that could turn the tide of battle, which gave Gen Subaru exceptional confidence.

At the same time, Gen Subaru did not intend to spend too much time here, after all, lifespan is limited and he could not afford to outlive these long-lived species.

Based on this, do as much as you can.

Thinking of this, Minamoto no Subaru looked at Asakura Riku and said softly:

"Speaking of which, how was your first battle? Did you gain anything from it?"

"What did we harvest...?"

Asakura Riku scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat distressed, and said:

Does the ability to emit light count?

"Yes, of course."

Minamoto Subaru said with a smile:

"You didn't know how to do this before, right? Now that you do, that's a gain. Progress is about accumulating little by little these gains."

"Hey hey hey..."

It has to be said that Asakura Riku is quite easy to please. After being praised by Minamoto Subaru, his attention was immediately drawn away from the background settings. At this moment, the television projector, which had not been turned off, started a new program, still current affairs news:

"Regarding the giant creature that previously appeared in Xingshan City, the government has officially named it a monster today, which I believe everyone knows."

This opening immediately drew the attention of the three people present. The guest, who bore the title of professor, leaned back on the production crew's sofa and waved his hand meaningfully, saying:

"However, let's look at the giant that just destroyed the monster. It looks very similar to the giant that appeared during the Impack Crisis three years ago. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that this might be an internal conflict between giant creatures. Now, what our government should do is establish a special team that can investigate whether these giant creatures are dangerous and even eliminate them..."

After the professor finished speaking, the production team started street interviews. It was clear that the street interviews were conducted in Hoshiyama City, which had just been ravaged by monsters. Almost everyone interviewed showed fear and disgust towards the monsters and giants.

"System, turn off the TV."

Suddenly, Riku Asakura spoke up, and the system shut down the projection as ordered. Pega and Subaru both looked at the little Ultraman. Riku Asakura sat on the sofa with a displeased expression and said:

"I won't become Ultraman anymore. Anyway, everyone will be scared if I appear, right... System."

It was clear that Asakura Riku wanted to gain recognition in this matter. His gaze slid over Peja and Gen Subaru before finally landing on the red ball in the management system.

"According to online records, 75 percent of people believe that you are like Belial and are afraid of you. Therefore, it can be inferred that people are very afraid of you, Master."

"See? My appearance is not a good thing for everyone."

"In that case, let's do it this way. I respect your opinion."

Seeing Asakura Riku's somewhat forced smile, Genji Subaru nodded without saying anything more, and continued quietly with his work. But then, as if remembering something, he whispered:

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you."

"What did I forget to mention, Gen Subaru-nii?"

"Don't call it the system anymore. Its code name is Lem. It's something written in its underlying code."

"Oh, I see, Gen Subaru-nii."

"Ah."

After this brief conversation, Gen Subaru had no desire to talk any further. After all, Asakura Riku no longer wanted to be Ultraman Geed, so there was no need to continue the training. If Asakura Riku chose to live a peaceful life as a human, it would be a good choice, at least Gen Subaru envied him.

However, now that Riku Asakura has withdrawn from the battle, he needs to refine Plan B further. If possible, he should try not to reveal his identity too early and instead remain hidden in the shadows to deal with Belial, which would be an easier approach.

“Yuan Mao-ge…”

"Ok?"

Just as Genjiro was racking his brains, Asakura Riku, who was busy preparing breakfast with Peja, was stiff and his expression was unnatural. Finally, he couldn't help himself, slowed down and moved closer to Genjiro, calling out softly. Genjiro calmly responded and casually said:

"If you're thinking of sneaking a scare at me, that's impossible. My mental energy is constantly covering this area, and I can sense everything."

"No, Gen Subaru-nii, don't you... want to say anything more?"

"......"

Gen Subaru paused for a moment, his gaze shifting from the red ball to the uneasy Asakura Riku. After a moment's thought, he said softly:

"Many times, being able to live the life you want is a precious choice. Many people don't even have the opportunity to choose. I've always felt very lucky because, despite my experiences, I still have the opportunity to choose my future."

This wasn't just a perfunctory remark, because even with his detached emotions, Gen Subaru still managed a knowing smile when he said this. This genuine emotion reached Riku Asakura, causing the little Ultra Warrior to blink in surprise, as he hadn't expected his brother Gen Subaru to have such feelings.
