Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

However, Riku Asakura realized that Subaru's reaction meant... another monster had appeared!

Asakura Riku guessed correctly. Between Kamikono Town and Hoshiyama City, a burly figure stood up and roared at the sky like a squirrel wearing rock armor.

This is the creation that absorbed the Star of Order. However, it was not an animal from the deep mountains that absorbed that power, but a rock. Beside this monster, Fukuide Sei was retreating rapidly. After searching in vain, this guy actually started throwing bombs outwards, trying to break the deadlock and use the possible energy fluctuations to find what he needed.

This action unexpectedly led Fukuide Kiri to find a Star of Order, a crystal attached to a flower. The power of order made the flower appear exceptionally beautiful, and it was not aggressive. This almost made Fukuide Kiri cry out in excitement. This was the first time. Last time, for the sake of Skullgomora, he was almost bitten by a strengthened venomous snake. The snake's tail lashed at him, and the pain kept him awake for two days.

Fukuide carefully put the items away, then a ruthless smile appeared on his face. In the weapon case he carried, there were still more than half of the explosives left. Since this method worked, he might as well go all out and blow them up!

Then, not long after, the enormous monster was blasted out...

This thing is simply no match for...

After seeing that his beam gun hadn't even broken the skin, Fukuide Kirito decisively abandoned his attack and chose to flee without looking back, as this was something he couldn't handle at his current level.

The stone monster was enraged by the explosion caused by Fukuide's silicon. As it moved forward, increasingly terrifying earthquake waves spread in all directions, and Hoshiyama City, which had just been destroyed by the monster Scaragomora, suffered another round of disaster.

At this moment, in the affected urban areas, people were fleeing in terror, trying their best to escape the swaying high-rise buildings. However, due to the violent shaking, they were like drunkards, struggling to move. In an instant, an atmosphere of despair began to spread among the dense and chaotic crowd.

"You all stay here quietly."

Gen Subaru casually reached into Asakura Riku's coat pocket and took the Star of Order. He then prepared to go out and deal with that guy. Although Asakura Riku was no longer willing to become Geed, Gen Subaru could still use the power of the Star of Order to try to kill the monster without showing himself!

Listening to Gen Subaru's instructions, Asakura Riku and Peja, who had just committed a crime, nodded obediently. Watching Gen Subaru transform into a streak of light and disappear into the observatory headquarters, the two little ones exchanged a glance and sat somewhat uneasily on the sofa that Gen Subaru had just prepared for them. They asked Rem to turn on the projector and keep up with the changes outside in real time.

In an instant, terrified screams and cries echoed throughout the observatory headquarters, causing Asakura Riku's face to turn pale and his expression to shift with complex emotions...

He's a tough guy.

On the other side, Gen Subaru had already arrived at the place where the monster appeared. Gen Subaru knew what the monster's true form was just by glancing at it. To be honest, Gen Subaru had tried before to influence the surrounding creations of order through the power of truth, but this attempt had failed and he had put it aside for the time being. He just didn't expect to see the power of order personally demonstrating this to him in this way.

Even with a template, developing new skills based on it doesn't seem like an easy task.

To be honest, isn't the power I'm encountering a bit too far beyond my capabilities? It feels like even long-lived species that have lived for 40,000 years haven't seen as much as I have.

Because of the previous brainstorming, Gen Subaru's mind was quite active, and all sorts of ideas popped up automatically. But this did not affect the adjustments he made to the Star of Order. This kind of thing was fine for dealing with ordinary Ultra Warriors, but it was really not enough to deal with him. As long as it was set up... oh?

At that moment, Subaru sensed something, turned his head, and saw the cylindrical elevator rising from the ground. The elevator's outer walls faded into a pale blue light, revealing Riku Asakura inside. The young Ultra Warrior looked at Subaru with unwavering eyes and said in a deep voice:

"I... I still want to become Geed after all."

"Even though nobody likes me..."

"Although everyone is afraid of me..."

"But I can protect them. I don't want to see everyone looking so sad and desperate anymore."

Seeing Asakura Riku's tightly clenched fist, Gen Subaru threw the power he had drawn from the Star of Order onto the earth, sealing off the outward-spreading seismic waves and quelling the disaster in human settlements such as Hoshiyama City and Kamitomo Town. Then, he put away the Star of Order in his hand and said softly with a smile:

"Since you've already made up your mind, what are you waiting for? Go, Geed, and show this monster your power!"

"Oh!"

Asakura Riku grabbed his collar, stared at the moving monster, and roared:

“G-eed!”

369 Asakura Riku: Brother, teach me!

With a flash of light, Geed reappeared and immediately charged at the monster, as if trying to knock it back. Seeing this, Gen Subaru moved his feet without making a sound, watching Geed crash into the monster and be bounced back, falling heavily to the ground.

Don't even think about having a direct confrontation with him.

Gen Subaru looked helplessly at the large head beside him and softly reminded Asakura Riku:

"That's not something you can directly challenge right now. Concentrate your power in one place and break through his defenses."

'I'll give it a try.'

Riku Asakura jumped up from the ground, looked at the rock monster in front of him, and began a new round of attacks. Subaru Minamoto left the area and began to wander around. He vaguely sensed that the monster's appearance was somewhat sudden, and that some external force had influenced it. It was very likely that it was the Belial force that he was looking for.

"Boom!!!!"

However, before Gen Subaru could go far, a huge black shadow enveloped him and fell with a deafening sound. It was none other than Asakura Riku.

This puzzled Gen Subaru. When he left, he had already condensed a decent piercing skill in the form of Geed. If he attacked a few more times, he would definitely be able to break through the monster's defense. Once he could peel off that layer of skin, the rest of the battle would be a foregone conclusion.

So... why didn't an attack happen, Geed?

Asakura Riku truly sensed Minamoto's doubts. He paused for a moment, then whispered in his mind's eye:

'Subaru-nii, I feel... it doesn't seem to be intentionally trying to cause damage. It's just that something disturbed it, which is why it's so angry.'

'It is harming humans, and whatever the reason, it cannot absolve itself of its guilt.'

Minamoto no Subaru spoke emotionlessly to Asakura Riku, saying:

'Xiao Lu, I won't reject your idea, nor will I interfere with your next actions. However, if you drag this out for too long, or if your battle shifts to the outskirts of the city, I will intervene and bring this battle to an end.'

'I understand, Subaru-nii.'

Riku Asakura agreed without hesitation. If possible, he hoped to resolve the matter without resorting to violence. Of course, he could also understand Subaru's reaction, since his belief in protecting humanity and the Earth was not wrong.

but....

Looking at the monster before him, Asakura Riku suddenly froze, realizing a problem. He paused for a moment, then coughed awkwardly and asked Gen Subaru for advice:

'Subaru-nii, do you know any skills to soothe monsters? Teach me.'

‘…’

When Yuan Mao heard this news, he was slightly taken aback, then passed over some documents and said softly:

'I'm not good at this kind of skill either, and I've never used it before, so I'll give you this tip. If you can figure it out, you can teach me later.'

Ah this....

Asakura Riku didn't expect to get such an answer. In his mind, although they had only known each other for a short time, Minamoto Subaru was the kind of person who was omnipotent and knowledgeable enough to work at any university.

but....

This version of Yuan Mao seems more authentic.

Well, what am I thinking? I'd better deal with the monster now!

With the insights provided by Gen Subaru, Asakura Riku began to practice while engaging in combat. It must be said that Asakura Riku's comprehension was quite good, and he mastered the basic operations in a short time. Gen Subaru could see that if it weren't for Belial's warlike genes, Asakura Riku could have developed this skill even faster.

After mastering the skills, the battle process became clearer: first break the armor, then soothe it. Asakura Riku was already familiar with the monster's attack patterns, so he successfully completed the attack in a short time.

As pale blue light poured from Geed's hand onto the hatched monster, the volatile creature calmed down.

To be honest, Gen Subaru felt it was very strange. It was clearly a stone, but it had gained consciousness. Even though the Star of Order that gave birth to it was related to him, Gen Subaru still couldn't understand why it could have such a change.

Idealism, oh idealism, how amazing!

Gen Subaru muttered a couple of things to himself, watching as Geed reached out and patted the monster's head twice. Then the squirrel-like monster turned around, its body gradually shrinking back to its original form.

Are those stone statues from an abandoned temple? The monks there were quite interesting; they even used squirrels as window sill decorations.

However, to prevent the Star of Order here from being exploited, and also to prevent the stone statue from causing trouble again, Gen Subaru waved his hand and set up a barrier to isolate the existence there. If Asakura Riku had any other ideas afterward, let him do what he wanted.

Then, Subaru appeared beneath Geed in a flash, enlarged his body, and opened his arms. This seemingly nonsensical action proved effective as Geed suddenly collapsed the next second, catching the cub that had transformed from Geed back into Asakura Riku steadily.

Feeling the cold body temperature transmitted from him, Asakura Riku struggled to lift his eyes to look at Gen Subaru before falling into a deep sleep. Gen Subaru then tossed Asakura Riku around, feeling his not-too-heavy weight, and wondered if he should prepare a nutritional menu. Then he took Asakura Riku back to the Observatory Headquarters.

"Mr. Subaru, Riku, he..."

"Shh-"

Subaru interrupted Peja, using his telekinesis to place Asakura Riku in the newly created room, then looked at Peja and said:

"What conclusion did you reach just now? Are you going to keep both of these things?"

"No... I'm returning both the game console and the mountain bike."

Peja seemed to have thought of something, and said with a somewhat subtle expression:

"Then I'll get a cheaper mountain bike and use the remaining money to buy groceries and other daily necessities."

"In that case, let's wait and see, until Xiao Lu has rested well."

Originally, Yuan Mao had intended to take advantage of this time to help deal with some miscellaneous matters, but after hearing this answer, he gave up the idea of ​​helping. He didn't know Asakura Riku's preferences, nor did he know how cheap Asakura Riku was planning to get a mountain bike, so he decided not to overstep his bounds. As for what to do next, he would just wait and see.

Just right...

In the research just now...

I think I... understand a little bit now....

Understanding how to enable others to better activate the [replication engine] after one's death...

Haha... this inspiration just came out of nowhere, haha...

370 Subaru: Riku, trust me, I'm a great fighter.

Yuan Mao was also surprised by this discovery. He had originally been analyzing the power of truth. In order to better utilize this power, he was simulating the use of the power of truth within his body, and how to use the power of truth more efficiently to trigger the descent of [Order].

During this process, an unintentional action by Gen Subaru gave him an unexpected inspiration. In his previous research on the [Copy Engine], Gen Subaru could command it as easily as an arm, but this was only true for himself. If someone else were to use it, they would probably be drained in no time if their energy reserves were insufficient.

But now, if he could realize this inspiration and, at the moment of his death, use the instant the [shell] shatters to inject the energy cycle he has already constructed into it, then the warrior he is looking for could take the [replication engine] to help Noah fight against the antigen.

And so, in silence, they went about their own business. Even Fukuide Sei, who had fled in disarray, managed to avoid various dangers amidst the seismic waves and returned to his base. Dressed in rags, he took out the Star of Order from his pocket and immediately began a new experiment.

With the experience gained from Skullgomora, Fukuide's progress was rapid. This time, he chose the ancient monster Gomora and the tyrant monster Tyrant as his materials, along with the genetic material given by Belial, to achieve fusion and sublimation, thus becoming a stepping stone for Lord Belial to regain his powerful strength.
