Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Even small children have a lot of energy, let alone Zeta. Every time Ace tidied up something, he could hear noises coming from the nursery. When he went over to check, he would see Zeta tumbling out of the crib on all fours and crawling around.

In the end, Ace had no choice but to use his skill to bind Zeta's hands and feet. After realizing that she could no longer climb, Zeta started to wail loudly. For the first time, Ace worried whether his house's soundproofing could withstand the noise.

After various attempts, Ace finally found a way to allow Zeta to move without causing damage.

That means you can just stick Zeta to the wall with the light strip and let him climb up on his own!

Thinking of this past, Ace couldn't help but smile warmly. But when he thought about how Zeta was still missing, Ace fell into an EMO state, and the other Ultra Brothers were too embarrassed to ask any further questions.

However, now there's no need to think about how to coax Subaru back. Subaru's own will is one factor, but another is...

The child's deeds in other parallel universes have also quietly spread in this universe. In the current universe, people may not know the name or appearance of Gen Subaru after his transformation, but a considerable number of them certainly know that there is an Ultraman who has created an astonishing vengeful massacre in a parallel world.

This kind of thing is obviously not in accordance with the laws of the Land of Light. Some Ultra Warriors who were unaware of the matter even applied to investigate it to see which Ultra Warrior was acting so recklessly. In the end, Father of Ultra managed to suppress the matter.

So... this matter... oh dear... what kind of mess is this...?

415 Regretful Teacher Eddie (First Update)

So it's good that Subaru isn't from the Land of Light. At least now the Ultra Warriors of the Land of Light don't have to clash with Subaru.

Moreover, it's not just Geno's opinion; look, Belial touched the Plasma Spark Tower, was captured and punished by the Land of Light, and then possessed by the soul of Reiblood at his doorstep, becoming an evil Dark Giant.

Then, Zero also touched the Plasma Spark Tower, was captured and punished by the Land of Light, and trained in a place similar to an Earth juvenile detention center to become a qualified Ultra Warrior and a main force in the fight against Belial.

Undoubtedly, Belial and Zero, after taking similar actions, faced drastically different futures, which can be seen as some kind of fate that made them arch-enemies.

And now... there's no doubt that Subaru has also touched the Plasma Spark, and even touched it and then put it back in, achieving something that neither Belial nor Zero could do. Under these circumstances, if the same process were to happen again, and the Land of Light sent people to capture Subaru... just suppose, suppose, if Subaru didn't retaliate and was brought back, what direction would fate take that child's future?

Of course, this is just a fantasy in Ultraman Geno's mind. Such a fantasy is impossible to happen. Even if someone were to be sent to capture Subaru, Ultraman Geno should be worried about what to do if Subaru gets used to fighting monsters and loses control, damaging his own Ultraman warrior.

After all, in that battle inside the Plasma Spark Tower, both Zero and the Ultra Brothers suffered serious injuries in their clashes with Subaru.

Jeno was thinking a lot, but Zhen Zhongjian couldn't understand it. He was still waiting for Jeno to continue, but then Jeno stopped talking and started to ponder deeply. What could he do? Seeing how seriously Jeno was thinking, he felt it would be extremely impolite to disturb him.

But I really want to know what you're thinking.

Kenjiro felt completely numb, but there was nothing he could do but quietly follow behind Ultraman Geno, continuing their journey towards the Land of Light. Just then, another red light appeared, stopping beside Geno and Kenjiro. Kenjiro didn't recognize this Ultraman and could only silently look at Geno, who greeted him warmly:

"Senior Eddie, are you back from a mission?"

"Ah, I went to the O-50 star system."

Kenjiro Senju felt that the Ultra Warrior's voice was exceptionally gentle, with a calm and unhurried tone. Eddie noticed Kenjiro Senju's gaze, nodded slightly in greeting, and Kenjiro Senju quickly and politely returned the compliment. Then, Eddie brought up the serious matter that had led him astray:

"Jenno, I sensed negative energy fluctuations from you. Did you encounter a negative energy monster?"

"Ah, yes, but that negative energy monster has already been successfully destroyed with the help of Ultraman Triga."

As Geno spoke, he introduced Kenjiro Shinju to Eddie, and then continued:

“Senior Eddie, this matter is rather long to explain, and we also have to deal with the resurrection of Belial, so let’s talk as we walk.”

"Hmm, okay...hmm!?"

Eddie nodded subconsciously, and was about to head to the Land of Light when he suddenly stopped, looking at Jeno in surprise. Even so, his tone remained calm. Eddie paused for a moment, then said softly:

"I must have heard correctly, Belial... he's been resurrected again?"

"Yes, Ultraman Triga witnessed it firsthand, and it was that kid Subaru who defeated Belial after his resurrection."

“This is really…”

This time, Eddie's tone changed slightly. He didn't expect that Minamoto no Subaru would actually go up against Belial. He always felt that the child was constantly fighting against all kinds of difficult enemies. Was this a part of fate?

"In that case, let's hurry up and go."

Eddie called out to Jeno:

"Hopefully Zero and the others have awakened by now, otherwise, without such a powerful general, dealing with Belial after his resurrection will not be an easy task."

After their chance encounter with Eddie, the group set off again. During this time, Eddie asked Kenjiro Shinnosuke a lot of questions about Subaru. However, he didn't ask questions like whether Subaru was injured, whether Subaru had become stronger, or what it was like when Subaru fought Belial.

Instead, he focused on asking about Subaru's current tone of voice, his usual expression, and whether he was still engaging in self-harming behavior to learn new skills. Kenjiro answered each question earnestly. At this moment, Kenjiro realized that all of Ultraman Ace's questions revolved around one central point—

Is Gen Subaru still able to maintain the sense of ritual in his life as a human being?

Unfortunately, even Kengo Manaka, who had barely interacted with Subaru Minamoto, had noticed this. Subaru had very few traces of being a 'human' left. Just like when they talked in the dream in his subconscious, Kengo felt that the pressure Subaru Minamoto brought back then was even more terrifying than when his adoptive mother was angry. That pressure had almost become an offensive skill.

"That's it."

Hearing Kengo Shin's words, Eddie sighed softly, his voice filled with self-reproach as he said:

"I also bear some responsibility for how Gen Subaru has become like this. I... have really... neglected my duty."

These words left Jianwu completely bewildered, but Geno understood what Eddie meant by 'dereliction of duty'. It wasn't Eddie's dereliction of duty as an Ultra Warrior, but rather his dereliction of duty as a 'teacher'.

Eddie truly believed this. Throughout the Land of Light, he always thought he was the luckiest one when it came to Subaru's situation. Back then, in the fourth-dimensional passage, he was the only Ultra Warrior from the Land of Light who managed to enter Subaru's dimension before the [Noah Final Seal] was fully activated. There, he could have simply gritted his teeth, risked most of his life, and forced his way out of the passage to reach Subaru's side and become a protector on his path to growth.

But it's a real shame... a real shame, because Eddie, without thinking things through, missed that precious opportunity...

416 Sword Enlightenment: The Universe is So Dangerous (Second Update)

Whenever Eddie hears about Gen Subaru, he can't help but think of that opportune moment. He remembers how he clearly sensed that Gen Subaru's mental state seemed a bit off, but he didn't take the initiative to go over. His complex emotions, like a wild beast, began to tear at his heart little by little.

Eddie believed that if he went along, even if he suffered the same fate as Seven, who had his right leg broken by a monster in the battle on Kuroshio Island and later had his Ultra Transformation Device destroyed, preventing him from growing to giant size to fight, he could still provide Subaru with the necessary help, just like Seven taught Leo... No, what he could do would definitely be much, much better than Seven's.

But it's a pity that he missed it and there will never be another chance to make up for it. Thinking of this, Eddie felt the 'beast' in his heart become more and more ferocious.

At first, Eddie didn't understand what that complex emotion was, but it didn't take long for him to realize it. After all, he was an expert in fighting negative energy monsters, so how could he not recognize negative energy?

Indeed, Eddie has begun to be affected by the negative energy within himself because of this incident.

The other Ultra Brothers noticed this and rushed over to comfort Eddie. Father of Ultra and Mother of Ultra also made time to have a heart-to-heart talk with Eddie.

But Eddie understood that this matter could only be truly over when he figured it out himself. Even if he couldn't figure it out, he had to vent this negative energy. So he temporarily resigned from all his positions in the Land of Light. After saying goodbye to everyone, he embarked on a journey called a space voyage, which was actually a form of self-exile. During this process, Eddie tried everything he could to eliminate the negative energy in his heart and not let himself be completely overwhelmed by that sense of guilt.

To this end, Eddie underwent a series of arduous practices, and finally he escaped that dangerous situation. Although the guilt still remained, it no longer turned Eddie into a negative energy monster.

"Um, I know it's inappropriate, but excuse me, could you please tell me the whole story of the connection between Subaru and your Land of Light?"

At this point, Kenjiro Shinichi finally couldn't hold back any longer. These two were talking and then just stopped mid-sentence, like listening to a story only to have it end halfway through, and there was no guarantee when the next part would be heard. So he had no choice but to rudely interrupt Eddie's contemplation.

Even from the perspective of the Land of Light, the story of Subaru Minamoto isn't entirely complete. If pieced together, it would be a biography of an infant war god that no author of any universe would dare write. How did Subaru grow up? What enemies did he face? What kind of education did he receive on Earth? And what made his thoughts so extreme...?

And what exactly is that Primal Essence? What is the relationship between Gen Subaru and the Primal Essence? Why did the Nexus Light passed down from Noah malfunction, to the point that no trace of light power that can connect with Ultraman Noah can be found in any of the ruins now?

Furthermore, the sudden disappearance of the King of Ultra, whose whereabouts remain unknown, has truly unsettled the Land of Light. Given the precedent of Legend and Saga being controlled, everyone in the Land of Light is genuinely worried that something might have happened to the King of Ultra.

"I have a feeling that... Senior Subaru's experiences in the past two years are far richer than my own experiences over the past ten years..."

Eddie, having been an excellent teacher, was very good at emphasizing and refining the key points. In almost no time, he helped Kenjiro Makoto understand the various events and information that the Land of Light currently possessed, centered on Subaru Minamoto. Kenjiro Makoto was stunned by what he heard.

To be honest, if Kenjiro Shinichi told his Dark Giant trio what he had just heard, apart from Carmilla who would unconditionally believe him, Dagon and Hitram would never believe him no matter what. Oh, no, Hitram is already dead.

"And...is this universe really that dangerous?"

Shinichi Kengo continued to mutter to himself. Whether it was the primordial energy that had temporarily disappeared or the chaotic power that was currently raging, these things were beyond Shinichi Kengo's current understanding. Although he was now beginning to accept and absorb the memories from 30 million years ago, to be honest, if there had been such dangerous things 3,000 years ago, he and his dark giant companions would probably have been crushed to death before they even reached Earth.

"Yes, the universe is indeed very dangerous now."

Jeno nodded in agreement, still feeling a lingering fear. As monitors of cosmic civilizations, he and Max had directly experienced, or rather, personally witnessed, a great deal. The primordial catastrophe had wiped out many civilized planets and left behind numerous problems, for which Jeno and Max had expended considerable effort.

For example, in the 77th star system located in the three spiral arm region of the universe, there seems to have been a humanoid rat wearing overalls. Of course, this rat was a primordial creation, and it appeared there with a dog and a duck.

Then, for reasons unknown, no matter what abilities Geno and Max used, they were unable to ascertain what activities and attacks those three Primal Creatures had carried out in Galaxy 77.

In short, the result was that all civilizations in that star system disappeared, and even the planets within it were destroyed by that distorted force. By the time Geno and Max arrived, it had become a cloud of gas, an unstable gas with strong toxicity, corrosiveness, and diffusion.

To be honest, both Geno and Max found it quite unbelievable that these strong attributes could be combined with instability.

Fortunately, the deadly gases were enveloped by a very thin layer of bluish-green energy. This layer of energy was incredibly thin, yet it didn't break and held up until Geno and Max found their way here. In a sense, this was a miracle.

Or rather, the distorted phenomenon of primordial energy, which disregards the rules of reality as always, is still as unsurprising as ever.

But miracles are miracles, and accidents are accidents. Dealing with this gas cloud was by no means an easy task. Geno and Max spent a lot of effort carefully moving the gas cloud away, completing the detonation, and dealing with all the explosion residue. After handling all this, Geno and Max had a long time to recover.

And this... is merely one example of the residual effects left by a primordial catastrophe in the vast universe.

417 (Skipable) The Influence of Primal Matter and Chaos (Third Update)

After that, Geno and Max also needed to understand the effects left by other primordial catastrophes, such as a particularly strong sailor who, after eating an unknown can of food, punched a star into a nascent black hole.

There were also two muscular men armed with weapons, each wearing red and blue combat suits, who used weapons that occasionally fell from the sky to jump between planets—yes, literally jump, from one planet to another—and then carry out their slaughter.

What's most terrifying about these two muscular primordial creations is that they can resurrect infinitely. Although they are extremely fragile, and even a pebble could kill them, they can resurrect. Even if some civilized planets try to imprison them, their resurrection location is not fixed in one place.

It's like skipping levels in a game; if you can't get past a level, you skip to another one.

In exchange, these two primordial creations possess conceptual-level attack power; almost anything, regardless of its nature or opponent, can be taken down by a single bullet.

Therefore, such monsters easily completed the massacre of dozens of planetary civilizations. If Gen Ang hadn't destroyed the [Notebook], which was the source of the Primal Creation Projection, even if Geno and Max had come, they wouldn't have known how to deal with these two monsters for a while.

But even after these two monsters disappeared, the trouble they left behind remained. The creatures and weapons of war they slaughtered became undead, continuing to wreak havoc in the universe in their place.

For this, Jeno and Max went through another arduous journey, and after the battle, the two civilization monitors were almost exhausted to death in space.

This...

It's just the effect left by the primordial catastrophe. Now, the power of [chaos] is rising and reviving, and it has already seriously affected the situation of the real universe.

Prior to this, the Kingdom of Light in the M78 galaxy had lost contact with the Z95 Nebula due to the influence of the Chaos Tide. Moreover, judging from the content of the last communication, the situation of the Z95 Nebula seemed to be dire.
