Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

This time, the remnant soul of the Reiblood alien truly dared not move an inch. He had never seen the [Copy Engine] before, but he clearly sensed that it was an extremely astonishing and powerful force. If he made any unusual moves and caused this thing to go berserk, he would probably die without even leaving ashes.

As for Gen Subaru's departure, it was the same as usual: to go check on TLT. What he saw there was significant. He discovered that the monster projection he had left behind had not had the expected effect. It was probably because the projection mechanism he had set was too gentle. Although it caused damage to the equipment, there were no casualties. TLT had begun to discuss whether this monster was not an enemy at all, but just a mischievous creature that had mistakenly entered Earth. Every time it went on a mission, it was just coming to play with the TLT combat team.

That won't do, that kind of thinking won't do. I want you to learn some techniques while killing him, and to practice those devices and methods in real combat, not to play house with this projection.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Yuan Mao's face. In the end, he adjusted the monster's settings. Starting today, this monster projection can attack important nodes, such as TLT branches and nuclear power plants. Of course, this change in the direction of attack will not happen all at once. There will be a few more dangerous battles first to make TLT aware of the monster's change.

besides....

With a casual pull, Yuan Mao transformed the sunlight into a cloak, falling upon him and concealing his aura and figure while also distorting his voice. Next, he was going to give everyone at TLT a bombshell!

"As I've said, technological development is already at a saturation point, and we shouldn't be as tense about this as we used to be."

"Tighten up? You call this tightening up? Think back to when the alien beasts were causing trouble and the Gua Legion hadn't been wiped out yet. That was when we were really on high alert. We're too relaxed now. What if another enemy appears? Are we going to drag Subaru back from heaven to clean up our mess?!"

The representative's speech plunged the meeting into silence for a moment. Gen Subaru, this TLT... no, the nameless hero of Earth, is a wound that TLT can never get over. It was when Earth and humanity were in the most danger that he, with his young body, withstood all the storms and bought extremely precious time for humanity.

If it weren't for the final decision to respect the child's last wishes, TLT would have made Subaru's name a household name across the entire planet.

"I'm sorry, I got carried away."

The representative who spoke, Matsunaga Yoichiro, realized something after seeing the one-armed chief secretary adjust his glasses and quickly apologized, saying:

"But I still sincerely hope that everyone will stop cutting related funding. The current figures are already at the lowest level. If they go any lower, we don't know how long it will take to develop the next generation of combat equipment."

"Mr. Matsunaga, I understand your thoughts, but human development doesn't rely entirely on weapons and equipment. Development in all aspects requires the allocation of resources."

“Resources don’t need to be poured out like that. Who would throw away their tools just to eat?”

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of motivation.

Watching the representatives arguing, the director already had a clue. They were talking about resource allocation issues, but such a situation never existed in the first place. With the technological assistance provided by Gen Ang and the visitors, the Earth no longer needed energy supplies like oil and natural gas. A simple "boiling water" could solve most problems. It could only be said that after the external pressure weakened, some of the newly appointed representatives and ministers had already started thinking about how to secure more benefits for their own side.

Um! ?

Just then, the conference room fell silent again. This time it wasn't because Gen Subaru was mentioned again, but because they saw a figure radiating a distorted light suddenly appear there. All of TLT's defensive measures had failed. In fact, the representatives realized that this person had deliberately exposed himself, which was why they had noticed him. Otherwise, if this person had been hostile, they probably wouldn't have realized that an enemy had appeared in the conference room until their deaths were imminent.

"snort...."

The TLT staff heard the newcomer emit a mechanical voice, which, though harsh, conveyed disdain. Then, with a flash of light, the newcomer vanished from the spot and left the conference room, as if he had just made a brief appearance.

However, everyone in the conference room suddenly became serious, because in the light they had just witnessed an astonishing scene: extremely terrifying alien beasts were rampaging through the universe, devouring all creation in the universe on a scale of almost galaxies. How could this not terrify them?

As for the unfamiliar visitor, even without prior contact, the representatives had many guesses in their minds. They wondered what he might be, perhaps an envoy from another cosmic civilization, similar to the visitors, attempting to unite with other forces to jointly resist this alien beast. However, he seemed to have sensed that TLT had not... In short, he seemed to have given up on joining forces with TLT and Earth.

this.......

Thinking of this, the TLT representatives' faces immediately turned much uglier. After all, family scandals should not be aired in public. It doesn't matter how fiercely family members argue behind closed doors. But now that this family scandal has been exposed to outsiders, and people have looked down on them because of it, and even rejected their hometown, this is no longer something that can be resolved by bowing and apologizing!

"Alright, I believe that what you all are thinking now is the same as mine."

At this moment, the director tapped on the table to draw everyone's attention back, and then said softly:

"Is there any objection to rejecting the proposed 37th economic amendment and maintaining the original 6th economic plan?"

466 Play with Obik

On the other hand, after Yuan Mao left the conference room at TLT headquarters, he stopped thinking about what happened there. He believed that the director would handle the follow-up issues. To be honest, if Earth's current level of technology and external firepower had really improved to a powerful level, Yuan Mao would think that was enough, and TLT could relax and enjoy life.

But in reality, the gap is huge. If we start to slack off now, things could really go wrong.

Of course, I also took action. Fortunately, the previous galactic burning had left the other types of energy in my body in an extremely weak state, freeing up space for the pure white light to conduct experiments at will. I no longer need to worry about any uncontrollable energy reactions arising from contact between the pure white light and the galactic power.

Thinking of this, Gen Subaru went to the Ranger's Hut, looked at the remnant soul of the Reiblood alien, and flexed his fingers. As a former king of the universe, he was the perfect person to use for testing.

"Wait, wait, wait! We can discuss this!"

As the figure approached, though it appeared to be just a boy, and its actual age was not even five, the remnant soul of the Reiblood alien felt unprecedented pressure. It roared, trying to fight for some other possibility for itself:

"You want to know something, right? You can ask me. I've lived much, much longer than you, and I've experienced far more than you. There's nothing in this universe that I don't know."

"..."

"Um, I'm quite smart too. If there's anything, I can help you come up with a plan. If it were me... No, no! Ugh! Can we make peace... Ah!!!!"

"..."

Yuan Mao didn't listen to the nonsense of the Reiblood alien's remnant soul. He had absolutely no goodwill towards this alien, and regardless of whether what the Reiblood alien's remnant soul said was true or false, Yuan Mao didn't think he had any understanding of the [Copy Engine] and [Pure White Light].

One day... two days... three days...

The sun rises and the moon sets...

On the very day of Gen Subaru's fifth birthday, Gen Subaru left Earth with the [Copy Engine] and headed straight for beyond the universe, towards the place where the alien beasts were sealed.

This time, Gen Subaru did not discover anything bad, such as aliens secretly researching the seal or trying to free the alien beast from it.

But none of that matters anymore. Yuan Mao brought the [Copy Engine] here to completely annihilate this alien beast. He has absorbed countless stars along the way to replenish his energy, and he is confident that he will win this battle.

As for the remnant soul of that Reiblood alien...

There's no point in talking about things that have already vanished; it's pointless.

Gen Subaru stared at the twisted alien beast, expressionless, and raised the [Copy Engine], which shone with a dazzling light.

At that very moment, in hundreds of star systems around, the terrifying phantom appeared, and the astonishing energy surged forth. All the cosmic inhabitants knelt on the ground, filled with fear and dread...

While Gen Subaru was battling the alien beasts, in another cosmic dimension, it was already late at night, but the distant city skyline was still brightly lit. At this time, in an area near the suburbs, the sound of a radio broadcast could be heard. The late-night radio program was playing content related to urban legends.

The content of this urban legend program revolved around a monster, but this late-night urban legend program did not seem to be very popular, so it was broadcast for a very short time before the host replaced it with a late-night letter-and-heart talk program.

However, even though the ghost story was short-lived, it was still heard by some people. In this relatively remote area, there was a ramen stall that was open for business, and a young man was enjoying his late-night snack there.

Suddenly, the ramen stall owner spoke up. He looked at the young man and said softly:

“Young man, you haven’t heard the story of Obik.”

"Um...is it that...?"

This young customer was clearly a bit socially awkward; he just wanted to eat his ramen in peace and didn't really want to interact with anyone. However, since the stall owner had already set such a precedent, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to remain silent. So, the young man decided to just give a perfunctory response and continue eating his ramen.

"Is it that monster that, late at night—no, suddenly appears in the dark and says to you, 'Play with me...' or something like that?"

"Yes Yes."

The ramen stall owner seemed quite pleased that the young man had answered his question. He continued stirring the noodles in the pot with long chopsticks, speaking in a cheerful voice:

"So...would you like to meet Obik?"

"Eh?"

The ramen stall owner's words made the young man, who was about to continue eating, pause. He looked at the owner, and seeing the slightly mocking look in the owner's eyes, he hesitated for a moment, then forced himself to say:

"Of course, I want to see him. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite brave."

"That...."

Upon hearing this answer, the ramen stall owner gave the young man a strange smile and whispered:

"Let me take you to meet him."

Why do you talk like that? It's scary.

The young man had intended to say that, but remembering he had just made a strong statement, he realized it wouldn't be good to back down now, so he changed his mind and said:

"Why do you keep bringing up this Obik monster... I..."

The young man looked down at the bowl in front of him, where there were still some ramen noodles left. He subconsciously licked his lips. He had to admit that the ramen tasted really good. He had never eaten such delicious ramen before. So much so that he really couldn't bear to give up the ramen.

But looking at the somewhat eccentric ramen stall owner, the young man hesitated for a moment, then decided to stand up and say:

"I'm finished eating. Here's the money. Thank you for your hospitality. Goodbye."

After saying that, the young man turned to leave...

"Play with me."

In that instant, just as the young man turned around, he heard a child calling out behind him...

"Play with me."

That's right, that's what they're shouting...

"Play with Obik."

Yes, it's the Legend of Obik!

The young man wanted to run, but he felt as if his body had frozen, with only his neck still able to move. He slowly turned his head to look, only to find that there was only a ramen stall behind him.

467 Daigo, keep it up!

This was very strange. Not to mention the ramen stall owner, even the bowl he had just eaten from was gone. This made the young man feel like he was dreaming. But then, he felt a strange suction, as if something was trying to pull him somewhere. The young man, who was already numb with fear, unconsciously leaned forward, and then, without any time to react, he was sucked into the pot in front of him.

"Suck" isn't quite accurate; it should be that a black, slime-like thing emerged from the pot, dragged the young man inside, and after he disappeared, the ramen stall owner, who had suddenly vanished, suddenly reappeared, grinning, holding the pot lid, and pounced on the pot, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. His tone was surprisingly sincere as he said:

"Thank you."

Meanwhile, a policeman was conducting a night patrol in his car, a late-night radio program playing in the background. He was fidgeting uncomfortably; to be honest, he was genuinely frightened by the urban legend he'd just heard, especially since he was surrounded by darkness. His colleagues had told him that there seemed to be some kind of supernatural entity appearing at night lately, and he was worried that it might actually surface now...

Um!?!?!?!

Suddenly, illuminated by his high beams, the policeman spotted something on the country road. Already on edge, he immediately slammed on the gas... Wait! He stepped on the wrong pedal!!!

The policeman finally managed to stop the car in time. He adjusted his hat and saw a figure lying in the middle of the road. He subconsciously swallowed, and then, as a policeman, he grabbed his weapon, opened the car door, and carefully approached the figure.
