Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Asakura Riku had been so busy lately that he was a bit out of it. He counted off a number on his fingers, and Max immediately asked, puzzled:

"Then why do you call Yuan Mao 'brother'? I thought you were only two or three years old!!"

"Why would such a misunderstanding occur?!"

Asakura Riku's eyes widened, and he gestured with his hands as he spoke:

"A two or three-year-old child is only this big, probably not even talking or walking yet! This doesn't look like a child like that to me... Are children in your Land of Light all growing up this fast?"

"No, no, no, in our Land of Light, it's too early for someone your age to be called a baby."

Max waved his hand and said softly:

"But you said you are Minamoto no Subaru's younger brother. Minamoto no Subaru is only four or five years old now, so it's hard for people not to misunderstand your statement."

"Yuan Mao said it's because his experimental sequence was before mine, so... um?!"

Asakura Riku, who was explaining something, paused slightly, his words coming to an abrupt halt, like a computer that had repeatedly failed to boot up and suddenly froze. Max first thought to himself that he felt sorry for Seven and Zero... well, it wasn't exactly a relief. Although they lost their grandson (son) after the misunderstanding was cleared up, it was hard to say whether that was a bad thing or not.

Then, Max gently patted Asakura Riku's head. The gentle psychic energy jolted Asakura Riku awake, followed by a deafening scream:

"Eh—!!!!!"

"My brother! He's only four years old!?"

Asakura Riku gestured somewhat unconvinced, indicating Subaru's height in the air, and stared at Max, saying:

"Senior Max, you call this four years old?!"

"That's the truth. It's something the Land of Light calculated meticulously, and it's something that Subaru himself acknowledged."

Max felt that he was not in a good state of mind. Although it was not a funny thing, he still felt a subtle sympathy when he saw that others were also so shocked by it. He felt sorry for the person in front of him whose values ​​had been greatly impacted.

"This...this is impossible!"

Asakura Riku instinctively rejected the truth, and in his confusion, he gestured wildly as he spoke:

"I've seen Subaru's battle memories. He's fought a lot of aliens and monsters, all incredibly powerful, and there were quite a few of them. Besides, my brother knows a lot of skills, and his use of the Ultra Bomb is phenomenal. This level of skill, this kind of experience, and you're telling me he's only four years old?! I don't believe it, I absolutely refuse to believe it. Senior Max, you must be joking. My brother... my brother is only four years old... and he's fought so many brutal battles... This, this is impossible..."

447 Belial: I still admire Subaru Minamoto.

Asakura Riku spoke incoherently, but before Max could reply, he squatted down. He didn't know how he felt; he only knew that Max-senpai had no reason to deceive him.

My brother, Gen Subaru, who is only four years old, what kind of mental journey has he gone through to get to where he is today?

Asakura Riku dared not even imagine it. It wasn't that he couldn't imagine it, but the mere thought of it made his nose sting. The hardships and suffering along the way were truly heartbreaking.

"Subaru... he should have only been the Light of Nexus for a year."

However, at this moment, Max, in a rather subtle tone, added:

“Ged, those battle memories you saw before were all things that Gen Subaru experienced in the past year. He also bears the fate of a planet. So, although Gen Subaru is very young now, he has seen a lot of the world and knows a lot of things. You can’t treat him like an ordinary four-year-old. Um... I’m saying all this mainly to tell you that it’s actually quite appropriate for you to call Gen Subaru ‘brother’.”

Max looked at Asakura Riku, whose mind was almost completely blank, and tried to comfort him, but this was obviously useless; Asakura Riku remained in a daze.

"Alright, take me to see Gen Subaru."

After a helpless sigh, Max brought up his most pressing concern, saying softly:

"There are some things I need to discuss with that kid, Gen Subaru."

"Ok."

Asakura Riku blankly agreed. To be precise, his mind was completely occupied by the fact that "my brother is only four years old," and he had no extra thoughts to consider anything else.

So, Aizaki Moe blinked in surprise, watching her lover walk backward like a puppet. Although she didn't know what had happened, in order not to make Asakura Riku look so strange, Aizaki Moe immediately followed. After seeing that Asakura Riku was walking towards Seiun-sou, she felt a little relieved.

After all, in Aizaki Moa's heart, no matter what problem she encountered, as long as Minamoto Subaru stepped in, it could definitely be solved.

As Asakura Riku headed towards Seiun Manor, in a laboratory on the other side, Fukuide Sei was kneeling on one knee, receiving instructions from Belial—

"Lord Belial, I've traced it. That silver power originates from energy in another cosmic plane. I'm very sorry, but I couldn't pinpoint the coordinates of that plane. Please grant me a little more time, Lord Belial. I will certainly..."

"No need, you don't need to investigate this matter anymore, you won't find out."

Without the slightest hesitation, Belial dismissed the matter. He knew all too well the current level of Fukuide's equipment. Rather than having him investigate this, it was better to continue focusing on the experiments on the Star of Order. By the time Fukuide used these instruments to find out which cosmic plane, Belial would probably have already finished his battle with Subaru.

Belial's expression became quite subtle when he thought of Gen Subaru. To put it another way, when he saw that Gen Subaru was indeed alive and well, and was even dismantling his secret base, Belial unexpectedly felt a slight joy in his heart. He was happy that this genetic heir had not died. Although Belial suppressed this feeling in the next second, he felt there was no need to continue to deceive himself. He was satisfied with this unfilial son.

Especially after comparing it to Geed, although Geed seems much more obedient and should be more docile, exuding a憨憨 (simple and honest) vibe from head to toe, but... this is not the kind of person I want! Seriously, I still can't understand why my genes could produce such a thing!

Therefore, in comparison, Gen Subaru, the genetic inheritor, truly seems to be becoming more and more outstanding and satisfying.

only....

Satisfied as he was, there was an unbridgeable gap between himself and this Gen Subaru. Only by smashing his iron fist into the head a few times could that stubborn brat come to his senses.

hum.

The thought of Subaru being beaten down, admitting his mistakes, and obediently calling him "father" filled Belial with pleasure. In a sense, correcting this brat was quite an accomplishment.

However, Belial must admit that Subaru is really difficult to deal with. Whether it was before or now, how many trump cards this kid has in his hands seems to be an unsolved mystery. Belial increasingly feels that being defeated by the Dark Emperor Alien Empera was really not a bad thing.

Therefore, now, Fukuide Seki, you are needed to make a sacrifice for Lao Tzu's plan!

Belial looked at Fukuide Sei. This Strum alien was indeed loyal to him and was a rare talent. Among his followers, he was quite outstanding. Therefore, Belial gave him an order and bestowed upon him the honor of sacrificing himself for him.

Fukuide Sei, on the other hand, accepted the order with ecstatic joy, knowing he could give his life for Lord Belial...

No, to be precise, from the moment I was rescued by Lord Belial, and from the moment I decided to follow him, I had been waiting for this moment. All my efforts and hardships were for the purpose of becoming a pawn worthy of being used in Lord Belial's hands!

Belial's communications had been cut off, but Fukuide Kirito remained kneeling, emitting a chilling, maniacal laugh. If the agents at AIB headquarters heard it, they would surely think that some fanatical follower of a strange religion was hiding there, going mad because of the success of some kind of ritual.

Indeed, Fukuide Sei was now quite insane. Covering his face with one hand, he staggered into the laboratory's warehouse, laughing maniacally. He flung open the hatch, revealing it filled with Stars of Order, Demon Fragments, and all the genetic samples of aliens and cosmic monsters used in experiments. From now on, he would no longer use them sparingly; Fukuide Sei was going to use these things to create a destructive frenzy for Lord Belial's plan!

448 Subaru: Force me to calm down.

"Subaru-nii!!!"

On the other side, with the help of Aizaki Moa, Asakura Riku finally returned to Nebula Manor. Upon seeing the small figure, the Ultraman cub couldn't help but call out to his brother and rush over.

Clearly, Asakura Riku wanted to get closer to Gen Subaru and let him feel the warmth of family.

But at this moment, Gen Subaru seemed to have been prepared and stretched out his finger towards Asakura Riku. An invisible psychic force impact immediately spread out and landed on Asakura Riku. Max, who was residing in it, also felt this psychic force impact. Its function was not a means of killing, but simply 'forced calming'.

Moreover, the effect of this 'forced calm' was exceptionally good. Not only is Asakura Riku now as detached from desires as an enlightened monk, even Max felt as if he had been affected as well.

"I knew you'd do something so cheesy and stupid after Max woke up."

Subaru sighed helplessly, then looked at Asakura Riku's brow and said softly:

“Senior Max, let’s meet. Let’s think this over carefully. This seems to be our first formal face-to-face conversation.”

"Yes, as a civilization monitor, I travel outside the Land of Light for a long time, so I have missed many opportunities to meet you."

Max, using Asakura Riku's energy, projected it out and whispered:

"It's really nice to meet you, Subaru."

"Before we begin our formal discussion, may I ask a question?"

Gen Subaru waved in response to Max, offering a greeting, and then said softly:

"Does Senior Max also think I'm just a child?"

"how come....."

Max paused for a moment, then finally said with a wry smile:

"Although your age is indeed a concern, a child who can do those things is worthy of being called a warrior, someone who can stand alone."

"Very good, thank you for your understanding, senior. Let's start by talking about the first thing."

Minamoto no Subaru pointed at Asakura Riku and said:

"Senior Max, could you please give him some guidance? My training methods aren't suitable for him, and I don't know what kind of training an Ultra Warrior should receive. Since you're currently residing in his body, why don't you be his teacher when you have some free time? Is that alright?"

"no problem."

Max also turned his gaze to Asakura Riku and said in a low voice:

"Although his talent is not as good as yours, he is still quite outstanding in terms of energy storage. Give this task to me, and I will make him even more outstanding."

"Thank you, Senior Max... Xiao Lu!"

Gen Subaru bowed slightly to Max, and at the same time, his gaze swept over Asakura Riku who was standing aside. He couldn't help but reprimand him. He was telling him to calm down, but he didn't mean to force him to lose his manners as well.

Upon hearing Gen Subaru's shout, Asakura Riku immediately reacted and hurriedly followed Gen Subaru in bowing to Max. Max, however, wanted to stop him, as helping a young Ultra Warrior was perfectly normal for him.

However, Max also knew that for Genji, this was probably an indispensable part, or rather, a human courtesy that was one of the few rituals in his life. After all, even the Land of Light did not know the price that Genji had to pay as the "shell." His extreme preference for Earth and humans, as well as his rather warlike personality, required a certain "anchor point" to prevent Genji from going to a terrible extreme.

So Max quietly accepted the simple apprenticeship ceremony, and then, Subaru immediately changed the subject and started something new:

"Senior Max, we have investigated thoroughly over this period of time. Mr. Belial is a puppet of the Reiblood aliens. That damned dark soul has controlled Mr. Belial to commit one heinous crime after another. I will not allow a former hero to be humiliated like this. So, Senior Max, please help me. I wonder if there is any way in the Land of Light to expel the soul of that despicable Reiblood alien from Mr. Belial's body!"

"What? This....."

Max had no doubts whatsoever and immediately believed Gen Subaru's words. His eyes widened, and he began to brainstorm frantically, thinking about whether there was any method he could use.

Gen Subaru was also eagerly awaiting Max's next move. Although Gen Subaru had come up with several methods and had already passed the relevant simulation tests, these methods could only be implemented after defeating Belial and causing him to lose most of his fighting power.

That would undoubtedly be quite unstable and extremely difficult. Leaving aside the difficulty of defeating and capturing Belial, on top of that, one would also need to conserve a certain amount of light energy to carry out subsequent operations...

Just hearing about this kind of thing sounds difficult.
