Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

And this Allip's appearance is not much different from that of an Earthling. There are also many life forms in the universe that are similar to humans.

"I am Zena, a Shad alien. Nice to meet you."

Zena introduced himself briefly, then extended his hand. Allip adjusted his glasses with his right middle finger, smiled again, and shook the hand.

"The rumors have been around for a long time, and it is an honor to work with you."

After saying that, Allip continued:

"Let's guide the immature people of Earth together."

At that moment, Zena had a strange feeling; his already underdeveloped facial muscles suddenly twitched, and Zena immediately had a bad feeling. And his premonitions almost never came true.

Then, as the 'new recruit trainer' designated by AIB... perhaps due to his past experiences on Shad, Zena had to work with Allip several times, and Allip's true character gradually came to light. As expected of a Salome alien, he was incredibly skilled in mechanical matters. However, there were some... no, quite illogical aspects to his abilities.

The following example best illustrates this point.

One day, when Zena was preparing to return after completing a simple task, Allip called.

"I'm just taking a walk around here. You don't have a car, do you?"

Is such that.

At the time, Zena only thought of him as a clever junior, never expecting him to pull up in an unfamiliar luxury car, saying he was waiting for him. It wasn't until the driver's side window rolled down that he realized it was the car that had come to pick him up.

"what is this?"

"Don't you know? It's a newly released S-class."

"I'm not asking what kind of car you have, but why you're driving it?"

"What do you mean, why open it? I bought it! It's necessary funding, there will be funding allocated, right?"

Even the most outstanding Zena was taken aback by this. The S-Class is a super-luxury imported car, frequented by politicians and enka singers, offering the ultimate in luxury. But all of this was unnecessary for AIB's investigation.

Meanwhile, Allip continued to complain:

"Seriously, even though it's work, I have to use transportation made by Earthlings. I need to be at least this skilled, otherwise I don't want to hold the steering wheel at all."

Oh, this is terrible.

At that moment, Zena was thinking this.

380 It's so cold inside the car (3rd update)

Without a doubt, Allip is a typical alien supremacist—

The AIB comprises many races, and quite a few people hold this view. While they cannot be called uncivilized barbarians, Earthlings are still immature life forms. Their argument is that in order to maintain cosmic order, we must manage and guide them.

Zena had great doubts about this. Based on numerous events to date, he had given high praise to the power and potential possessed by Earthlings.

Moreover, Aizaki Moa is still by his side, which is why her opinion of Earthlings remains unshaken in Zena's heart. Her unique personality as an Earthling has helped Zena countless times.

Therefore, after realizing this difference in opinion, Zena began to feel helpless with this newcomer from the United States.

Just then, an unexpected incident occurred. First of all, let me state that this matter falls under the jurisdiction of the AIB. In other words, this is an incident related to aliens, and the one who took on the task of handling this incident was Allip, and Zena had no choice but to go with him.

This is also why Zena didn't let Aizaki Moa come along. Zena hasn't even told Aizaki Moa about this yet. Anyway, after Allip reports to headquarters and finishes his training, he will have to go back to the United States. It's better not to introduce this alien who is not friendly to Earthlings to your partner.

However, I still can't get used to seeing this S-Class.

With this thought in mind, Zena got into the passenger seat, preparing to head to the area where the incident had occurred. After Zena got in the car, Allip inexplicably shivered. It seemed like an illusion, but after Zena got in, he suddenly felt that the temperature inside the car seemed to have dropped.

But Allip carefully checked the temperature display inside the car, and the temperature had not changed at all.

Could it be Senior Zena's innate aura? Ah, that's possible too. After all, he's an outstanding warrior from Xiade Star. He's killed at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, enemies. When someone like that gets serious, of course their aura is different.

Unfortunately, Zena's partner was a useless Earthling.

As Allip drove, he grumbled to himself with dissatisfaction. He had come to headquarters with ambitions, after looking around. He realized that his 'instructor' was indeed the most suitable for him. But unfortunately, he already had a partner. Such an excellent Shad Star warrior was paired with a weak, useless, trashy, and ignorant Earthling.

Honestly, Allip couldn't understand why AIB's top management would make such a decision. Did that Earthling bribe AIB's top management? Haha... It's really baffling.

Ugh... Why does it feel even colder in this car? Damn it, Earthling stuff is so unreliable, damn it!

Despite Allip and Zena's differing opinions, the location for this mission was gradually approaching: a small residential area in the Star Element District. And this unexpected event had occurred suddenly—

One day, the residents suddenly erupted in a rage. Some robbed shops, while others assaulted kind passersby. The rioters went on a rampage, and their numbers gradually increased. What was particularly strange about this incident was that the rioters were almost all women.

The police chief in charge of cleaning up the mess expressed bewilderment. The arrested rioters would calm down after a while, eventually not even knowing why they were being detained. The frenzied individuals were completely stunned, as if led by the nose by a fox.

The AIB quickly received the intelligence. Given the bizarre nature of the incident, it was highly likely that a force "beyond Earthlings" was at play. They acted swiftly, immediately summoning Senior Agent Zena. Yes, this time the AIB chose Zena as the leader; Allip was merely a sideline, since the American could be sent back after accumulating enough mission points.

It's clear that the higher-ups at AIB headquarters in Japan also dislike this Samero alien.

Unaware of the situation, Allip followed Zena to the Star Element District where the incident occurred and immediately began an investigation. The first step was simply to conduct interviews. No matter how advanced the technology, the quickest way to grasp the whole picture is to listen to people's stories, carefully investigate, and integrate the information. The names of the perpetrators and victims had already been compiled, and they were all around the hospital, so there was no need to run around too much or spend too much time.

Even during this short time, the riots showed no signs of abating. Just as Zena and Allip went to inquire about the situation at another victim's house, a woman suddenly started making strange noises and went berserk. However, Zena skillfully evaded the rioters and returned to continue his investigation without intervening.

"Is it okay for us to just let this go?"

Allip's question was valid, but Zena did not stop there.

"The police can also suppress rioters; our job is to find out the truth as soon as possible."

In reality, rioters are constantly emerging, and if one gets involved, it will never end. This is Zena's reasonable assessment, and Allip echoed his sentiments.

"indeed so."

Through their thorough investigation, the two gradually discovered commonalities among the perpetrators. Besides the fact that the majority of them were women, another thing was—

They use cosmetics from the same manufacturer.

Following this lead, Allip collected numerous suspicious cosmetics as samples: foundation, eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick. The variety was actually quite extensive.

"Putting this kind of stuff on your face, you really don't understand earthlings. That kind of vanity is clearly being exploited."

"We can't be certain that's the reason yet. Don't speak rashly based on speculation."

"No, sorry."

Zena kept her eyes on Allip while carefully examining the various cosmetics. She browsed through everything from the packaging design to the ingredient list on the back, but from that alone, Zena didn't discover anything new.

Just then, a wormhole appeared out of nowhere, causing him to instinctively open the lid and take a sniff. Amidst the cosmetic's fragrance, he seemed to detect another strange odor. It was likely an unnamed ingredient in the cosmetic, and it didn't originate from Earth...

This should be... this should be...

What was it again? I remember seeing related information in a database before. Because it looked really nice, I took a second look at it and even memorized its characteristics...

Ah, yes, this cosmetic contains an ingredient called "cosmic poppy," which is extremely similar to drugs and has the effect of making people violent.

and many more....

How would I know this?!

In that instant, Zena suddenly realized that something seemed wrong...

381 The Vanished Universe (Fourth Update)

Zena stared blankly at the cosmetics in his hand. He felt his stiff facial muscles about to twitch again. He hadn't noticed anything amiss just now, as if those thoughts were simply his own.

However, Zena knew very well that her mind wasn't that quick, she hadn't specifically memorized the relevant characteristics, and most importantly, she didn't find those poisonous flowers particularly attractive. If Zena saw them, she would only want to destroy them immediately.

"Allip, go and investigate the source of these cosmetics. You personally urge them to get results as soon as possible, without worrying about the so-called Earth traffic rules."

"Yes, Zena-senpai."

Hearing this, Allip raised an eyebrow in surprise, twirling the cosmetics in his hand. Although he agreed verbally, he didn't immediately move. He was still quite curious about what Senior Zena had discovered. To be honest, if it weren't for wanting to make his resume look better, he really wouldn't have the motivation to work for these ugly Earthlings.

"There are prohibited substances in this place, what are you still standing there for?"

Zena gave Allip a cold look, and that sharp gaze made Allip's heart tremble. Without saying a word, he headed for his S-class car, while secretly regretting that although Zena seemed rather casual when they were together, he was quite serious when carrying out missions. His own nonchalant attitude had naturally offended Zena.

Oh dear, it turns out I couldn't keep up with Zena-senpai's train of thought. How embarrassing! But they're just a bunch of pedantic humans who care too much about appearances. Even if it's because of AIB's orders, Zena-senpai doesn't need to take it so seriously. Oh well, I'd better hurry up and investigate. I can't leave any more bad impressions on Zena-senpai.

Zena was unaware of Allip's thoughts. The Shad alien simply wanted the guy to leave as quickly as possible. Once the S-class car was out of sight, Zena quickly walked into the alley. Without saying a word, he took out a small gadget from his pocket and sprayed it on the wall. The wall then became like a mirror, reflecting the Shad alien's true form.

"who are you?"

Zena looked at her reflection in the mirror and said in a flat tone:

"Your possession technique is so advanced that I was completely unaware of it before. But you must have attacked me when I left the park. Since you've already spoken up, I believe you must have been confident enough that you wouldn't be driven out by me, which is why you deliberately exposed yourself."

........

"Silence is useless."

Zena waited for a while, carefully listening for any sound that came from his ear, but ultimately he caught nothing. So he spoke again, hoping that this would make the mysterious man speak and that he could get some clues from him. After all, if you want to deal with an enemy, knowing his purpose would be a possible breakthrough.

'@＃！￥＃@￥！＃@￥！@＃￥~！@＃！@￥%@￥%……＃￥……@＃'

However, this time, Zena did sense something. A voice was ringing in his head, but it was like static, very noisy, so loud that Zena groaned and almost collapsed to the ground.

"Huff... Huff... Huff..."

Zena, with one hand covering his head and the other supporting himself against the wall, was covered in cold sweat and breathing heavily. After a long while, Zena realized that it wasn't noise, but rather that his brain was flooded with too much information, and his body was instinctively blocking out those images and videos as a form of protection.

What exactly is this?

Zena curiously tried to recall those scenes, and then he saw the shocking and terrifying battle. In that fierce battle of light and darkness, which was beyond the imagination of this Shad alien, even the planet seemed to have become a plaything in the battle, completely subverting Zena's understanding of combat.

That's right, what Gen Subaru showed Zena was his previous battle with Belial, making this Shad alien understand who he really was. This was a helpless move, as what Zena heard before was not something Gen Subaru deliberately told him, but rather the result of Gen Subaru's subconscious thinking.

But regrets are useless now. We'll just have to adopt a new plan. This Shad alien seems willing to cooperate with Earthlings. In that case, let's use him to learn more about AIB and utilize its resources.
