Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods

Chapter 209 Geed and Geed

In the main universe of the Kingdom of Light, in a corner of the Milky Way galaxy.

A portal spanning the universe arrived with a rainbow, landing in a vast sea of ​​stars. A red and silver giant appeared in this starry sky as the portal unfolded.

Geed turned to look at the stars behind him, feeling somewhat surprised. He muttered to himself, "Is this another universe? It doesn't feel much different from the original one."

In his perception, this universe, in terms of its constants and solid physical laws, was no different from the original universe.

If he hadn't felt that he had actually passed through a time portal, he might have doubted that he had actually left.

But this wasn't the place to think. Geed quickly surveyed his surroundings, determined his location based on the star map in his memory, and then, in the ever-changing universe, determined the direction of the Land of Light's main universe, discovering that he wasn't far from the Land of Light.

After confirming the answer, Geed pondered for a moment and did not enter the hyperspace passage. Instead, he instantly transformed into a red ball and flew rapidly towards the Land of Light.

But what Geed didn't notice was that a part of Lungbo's will had already descended and silently followed in his footsteps, ready to see how the Land of Light would react upon seeing Geed.

Under Lonbo's watchful gaze, Geed quickly approached the Land of Light, where the dazzling emerald celestial body came into view, constantly radiating brilliant light, and occasionally red, blue, and silver giants could be seen flying around.

Geed withdrew from his red ball form near the Land of Light, stood in the starry sky, and gazed at the massive celestial body. After a moment of contemplation, he issued his Ultra Signature.

Jedd didn't know if there was another Jedd here and was worried about having a conflict with the local security force, so he chose to report it in advance.

He's a good kid; he wouldn't resort to violence if he could avoid conflict. Besides, these are all his own people, so he shouldn't have barged in without permission.

However, according to Lungbo, this incident should not be publicized, so he concealed some information, only stating his name and his application to enter the Land of Light, indicating his intention to see Ace.

"Geed? According to the last contact, they should be back a little later." As the Ultra Sign was issued, several warriors stationed in the Space Garrison also noticed the name. Although the aura of these lights was indeed a bit strange, the name on it was indeed Geed.

However, there are many doubts. Why is Geed's aura so strange?

Also, why does Geed need to apply to enter the Land of Light? You should know that Geed already has a household registration in the Land of Light.

Want to see Ace? That's even stranger. If you want to see Ace, all you have to do is go find him.

Seeing this, Zoffy and Ace exchanged glances and immediately took action, flying towards the satellite outside the Land of Light.

Further away, Ultraman's father, Ken, also saw the signature and saw Zoffy and Ace fly out, which should be considered foolproof.

But for some reason, he still felt a strange sensation, and after a brief hesitation, he flew out anyway.

But as they flew into space, a group of people who were on their way also sensed this familiar yet unfamiliar signature and arrived there first.

Geed stared blankly for a moment as several giants descended from behind him.

Under his gaze, the colors on these unfamiliar warriors of light were quite flamboyant, and they also contained a mixed aura of light.

This puzzled Geed. What was going on? Why were the warriors of the Land of Light here—

Suddenly, Geed's gaze fell upon the red and black giant with a red, black, and silver body.

"That person—was it me?"

Geed could clearly sense that the warrior opposite him, with his particularly fierce gaze and the aura of Ultraman and another dark warrior, seemed to be himself.

Just as Geed was momentarily stunned, the warrior opposite him, who looked exactly like Belial except for the timer, fell into deep thought.

"You—looking like this—"

Gradually, the others turned their attention to Xiao Lu beside them, unsure of what to say.

They thought that the guy who looked like Beria was probably Xiao Lu.

After all, Riku cannot transform on his own; he can only transform into Ultraman by relying on the power of others.

If he were another Geed, then everything would make sense. But where did this other Geed come from?

Did Belial have another clone?

Or is it Geed from a parallel universe?

The future of Giesecke & Devrient?

They were unaware of this and only received some irrelevant guesses.

Under their gaze, Geed looked at Riku in the main universe and spoke in a slightly mature voice.

"I am Geed from another universe. You can also call me Riku Asakura. As for my age—I'm a little over ten thousand years old."

"I came to this universe to deliver a message to Senior Ace."

Several new generation soldiers, though they had expected this, remained silent for a long time upon hearing it.

Looking at the Belial aura emanating from Geed opposite him, Xiao Lu instinctively realized something and swallowed back the words he was about to say.

He vaguely sensed that the person opposite him might have a different relationship with his father than he did.

Standing very close to the group, Longbo was quite disappointed to see that they hadn't started fighting upon meeting, which made him feel rather bored.

But He quickly came to terms with it; after all, he was Ultraman, and even if he was young, he wouldn't start a fight on sight.

Finally, Riku, now Geed, gazed at Belial, who looked exactly like his father, and after a moment of silence, whispered, "I am also called Geed, and I am Belial's son."

Before Geed, whom Longbo had sent out, could reply, several figures appeared from the direction of the Land of Light in the distance and landed on this planet.

Zoffy, Ace, and Father of Ultra also fell into deep thought as they watched the two Geeds appear at the same time.

To their surprise, one of the Geed figures looked exactly like Belial, except for the timer, which puzzled them.

Father of Ultra looked at Geed, who was almost identical to Belial, and a bad feeling arose in his heart. "Belial, you wouldn't be hiding another experimental subject, would you?"

Having arrived on a mission, Geed chose to temporarily set aside his thoughts about his other self upon seeing Ace. He turned and walked towards Ace, saying, "Nice to meet you, Ace-senpai from this universe. My name is Geed, and I come from another universe."

"Another universe." Ace, Zoffy, Father of Ultra, and the others understood instantly upon hearing this.

Father of Ultra breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Belial hadn't hidden a brother of Riku.

But soon, he thought of something bad again: why would another Geed be here? Could it be that the humans of the Kingdom have their eyes on the Kingdom of Light in another universe?

This thought instantly made him serious.

Ace, also connecting the dots, stepped forward, gazed at Geed, and asked in a deep voice, "Ged, you've come here to issue your Ultra Signature. Is there anything you need me to do?"

Geed shook his head, then spoke, revealing the purpose of his visit: "Senior Longbo sent me here to tell you that Tartarus has agreed to negotiate with you."

As Geed's voice faded, everyone stared at him in shock, finding it hard to believe.

"What? That guy can actually negotiate?"

The new recruits felt they had heard something utterly absurd; it was unbelievable that the ruthless man would agree to negotiate.

But soon, a completely new question arose in their minds: "Who is this Lonbo? And why could he get Tartarus to agree to negotiations?"

They simply couldn't understand what kind of being could make the arrogant kingdom agree to negotiate with the Kingdom of Light.

Meanwhile, Zoffy, Ace, and Father of Ultra were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then they all laughed at the same time, as they naturally knew about it.

"Really? That's great! If the negotiations succeed, then neither of us will have to shed blood for a conflict that could have been avoided!"

Not long ago, when Ace returned, he told others about his encounter with the embodiment of the universe's balance and how he asked Him to act as an intermediary to express his intention to negotiate and communicate.

But to his utter surprise, his request was answered so quickly; the Cosmic Balance Avatar had actually persuaded Tartarus to negotiate.

Ace breathed a sigh of relief. In his view, as long as both sides were willing to sit down and negotiate, the Land of Light would definitely be able to persuade the other side to resolve the conflict through non-violent means.

Upon learning this news, Father of Ultra quickly instructed Zoffy to send Ultra Signatures to the warriors scattered throughout the universe to summon them back.

"Come on, Geed, come back to the Land of Light with us. It will take them a while to return." Father of Ultra stepped forward, took Geed's hand, and flew towards the Land of Light.

Geed did not resist when he saw this. He knew the father of Ultra's character. Even if it was in a different universe, he would not be someone he needed to be wary of.

While flying, Father of Ultra turned to look at the others again, "Riku, Taiga, Titus, Fuma, you guys come here too," he said, "you need to know this too."

Seeing this, the group nodded, temporarily suppressing their doubts, and flew after them. They knew that once they returned to the Land of Light, all their questions would be answered.

Within the Land of Light's security force, Geed recounted everything he had learned from Lampard, giving Ace and Zoffy a deeper understanding of the matter.

After learning about this, the group began a new discussion about what solution the Land of Light would come up with to convince Tartarus and the others to completely abandon their idea of ​​resolving the matter by force.

They brought in Hikari from the Science and Technology Bureau, hoping he could come up with a solution to the Kingdom's core energy problem. However, Hikari only stated that he would try his best to find a solution, but could not guarantee that he could come up with one.

Father of Ultra looked at Geed following beside him and was momentarily dazed. In his eyes, Geed's seemingly confused appearance as he stood aside gradually overlapped with Belial in his memory.

"It really looks like it—"

Father of Ultra whispered that this Geed from another universe, apart from being more humble, was very similar to Belial in terms of his movements, posture, and aura.

In the eyes of Father of Ultra, this was almost the perfect Belial he had always dreamed of.

He is different from Riku. Father of Ultra can see that Geed is far more mature than Riku, even more mature than Vio, and at least over 10,000 years old.

After a moment of silence, he walked up to Geed, looked at him, and led him aside. Under Geed's rather puzzled gaze, he asked, "Ged, do you know me in another universe too?"

Father of Ultra did not directly raise his doubts, but instead asked questions indirectly, worried that this child might have the same fate as Riku from this universe.

Upon hearing this, Geed replied without hesitation, "Of course, I'm usually with the Space Garrison when I'm not on a Star Torch mission."

"You and Aunt Mary visited my house before I gained the ability to transform."

Upon hearing this, Father of Ultra's eyes grew even more puzzled. What was Star Torch? And was it because he and Mary found Geed first, thus sparing him from all that suffering?

However, Geed's next words soon silenced Father of Ultra and everyone else: "Also, my training after I transformed was all done by you and my father together."

".."

Everyone stopped talking, turned around and stared at Geed, their eyes filled with disbelief and complexity.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lu, though already having some suspicions, still felt somewhat dazed. In addition to curiosity, there was also a hint of barely perceptible envy in his eyes as he looked at his other self.

The other version of him grew up on a completely different path; he didn't need to grow up under his father's schemes, nor was he forced to kill his father.

Everyone could understand the message hidden in Geed's words. In another, unknown universe, Belial had not fallen into darkness; he remained in the Land of Light, continuing to fight to maintain peace in the universe.

Upon hearing this, Father of Ultra fell completely silent. Although Geed was standing in front of him, Belial's image appeared in his mind.

"Beria—"

Father of Ultra murmured to himself, "Look, there's another universe of you that hasn't fallen into darkness, nor has it been used by those who plotted this scheme. That's wonderful."

Gradually, Geed also sensed something was wrong from the complex gazes around him, and cautiously asked, "Why—"

Everyone has that expression? Did something happen to the father of this universe?

Despite suppressing the terrible thoughts in his mind, Geed finally asked, "Could it be—that the father of this universe—is dead?"

Everyone remained silent upon hearing this. They were now certain that the other Belial had not fallen, but they didn't know how to explain it.

Everyone turned their attention to Riku, but soon they realized that it would be too cruel to make Riku explain, so they looked at Father of Ultra.

Finally, Father of Ultra patted Geed on the shoulder and said heavily, "Belial—his affairs are somewhat complicated and difficult to explain clearly."

Even after 30,000 years, Father of Ultra still couldn't understand why a perfectly healthy person would be kidnapped by an alien of unknown origin while parked right at his doorstep.

He didn't know how to explain to Geed that his father, after being exiled, had transformed from a handsome silver-clan young man into a large, black, hunchbacked toad—
