Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

"Tell me first."

Whether or not you can trust this guy depends on what happens next.

Originally, Natsuki planned to follow Marshal Stark and his men all the way to the other side of the Pacific Ocean's gap, capture a few Pioneers, and torture them about the abnormal spacetime fluctuations. If Albert could provide her with useful information now, it would save her a lot of trouble.

This mission was arguably Natsuki's most efficient one in recent times. He had just arrived on Earth in this universe yesterday, and tomorrow he was going to attack the enemy's lair. If the other members of the Space Garrison saw this, they would all say they were strangers.

"The abnormal spatiotemporal fluctuations you need to investigate are essentially the result of changes in spatiotemporal energy."

Albert adjusted his glasses and patiently explained.

“Every world has its own original destiny, which you can think of as a line or a script.”

"Some outsiders, beings that did not originally belong to this world, will change the fate of this world after they arrive. The greater the change, the more scars this world will reveal, and at the same time, there will be more opportunities for the theft of spacetime energy."

Hearing this, Natsuki frowned slightly.

This mission... seems to be quite challenging.

If what they say is true, then I'll be facing an organization.

It's not as simple as just dealing with the invaders.

"What organization do these outsiders belong to, and what are they called?" he asked.

"I can't say."

Albert looked at Natsuki's serious gaze and gently shook his head.

"Because I am one of them, I can only tell you some of the relevant information. I cannot say more, otherwise I will disappear now."

"We were all originally human, from different worlds. We experienced death due to various accidents, and were then conscripted to go to different worlds to steal [spacetime energy] in various ways."

"We don't know what kind of being summoned us, nor do we know the significance of collecting spacetime energy."

"We only know that we must complete the task, otherwise those who are at the bottom will be eliminated."

The matter is becoming increasingly complicated.

Possessing the ability to teleport through time and space... able to take the dead from different worlds and use them for his own purposes... any one of these traits indicates that he is no ordinary person.

When did this force appear in the multiverse?

“Continue,” Natsuki said.

This matter is no longer just a problem for this Earth. He didn't know what the mastermind behind this was trying to do by collecting so-called spacetime energy, but he guessed it couldn't be anything good.

Moreover, anything related to time and space is no pushover; they're bound to pull something big.

This task was far more complicated than he had imagined. If it were a normal task, he could be a little lazy and slack off, but when faced with something important like this, Natsuki would usually choose to get things done before relaxing.

Who would have thought there was such a huge event in this remote universe!

"For people like us, the world we live in now, and even the Kingdom of Light you live in, are projected onto the world we live in in the form of stories. Therefore, we have an innate intelligence advantage and can more easily change the fate of a world."

Albert shared all the information he could with Natsuki without reservation.

There is also competition among time travelers, especially after he discovers that Natsuki is a hunter who is simply untouchable.

He chose the most rational approach.

Join if you can't.

Chapter 36 Monster Attack!

What we need to do is to deviate the world from its original destiny as much as possible.

There are many ways to change the fate of a world.

"For example, in a world full of hope and beauty, our task is to destroy it."

"And our mission is to save a world filled with despair and death."

"At the same time, none of us are completely of one mind. The more people participate in the same path to change the world, the less spacetime energy we can ultimately reap."

Albert spoke with a serious expression.

"The guy hiding among the Pioneers is most likely aiming to have the Pioneers take over human land and wipe out all life on Earth, as this is the way to obtain the most spacetime energy."

Natsuki listened and nodded slightly.

"how about you?"

"You said you were one of them. What were you originally planning to do?"

Natsuki needs to know his full motives in order to judge whether what he says is credible.

There are no absolutely good or bad people in this world.

At the same time, there are no villains who are completely brainless.

This guy says he'll tell you everything, but he's definitely doing it to achieve some kind of goal.

This guy is in competition with the other outsiders, and they probably want to use me to help him get rid of his rivals.

Of course, this is just one aspect that Natsuki thought of.

Albert had a deeper purpose in mind.

“My original plan was actually quite simple.” Albert didn’t hide this and said honestly, “There is more than one way to change the fate of the world, and different methods have different levels of difficulty.”

"In different worlds, there are certain individuals whose fates are closely intertwined with the world's destiny, the so-called 'chosen ones' or 'protagonist groups.' Changing their fates is the most convenient way."

"I'll just tell you directly."

"According to the original fate of this world, Stark would die, Raleigh would die, Dr. Newton... Chuck Hansen... Mako Mori... the three brothers who piloted the Crimson Storm... the couple who piloted the Cherno Alpha... many people would die in various accidents."

"What I need to do is find a way to keep them alive and deviate their predetermined death from its destined path."

That's why I'm here.

"By the way, the mech I repaired was also for this purpose. In order to increase my involvement, I tampered with the operating system to make it impossible for others to pilot it, but I didn't expect you to steal it."

That was Albert's original intention.

Each transmigrator receives a different identity upon arriving in the mission world, determined by their performance in the previous world. Albert's identity in this world is that of a PhD proficient in physics, mechanics, and biology, and his choice is to join the Shattered Dome.

But Natsuki's arrival disrupted his plans.

Xia Shu's presence here ensures that these people won't die by accident, which means he'll have to do all the work he was supposed to do. At this rate, he won't get much spacetime energy at all.

So when he first met Xia Shu, he wondered if he could use Xia Shu to help him obtain spacetime energy from other missions, since she was a top-tier combatant.

After realizing that Natsuki was not someone he could easily control, he had no choice but to reveal everything and try to get some benefits through cooperation.

If he didn't show this attitude now, he was afraid that once Xia Shu discovered he was a transmigrator, she wouldn't even give him a chance to explain and would just kill him.

He had already figured it out; this guy, who appeared lazy and casual on the surface, was actually not a simple, kind-hearted person.

"What do you want from me?" Natsuki asked directly.

He knew Albert wouldn't tell him this information for no reason. After all, he had worked in the Space Garrison for over ten thousand years and had seen countless people.

"Let me participate more in the subsequent actions, so that I can obtain more spacetime energy when the mission time limit ends."

"Also... and most importantly, don't rush to settle scores with me." Albert stated his greatest need, "In this world, I can provide you with intelligence and help you complete your mission, and the same will be true in the world to come."

Albert made his position very clear at this meeting.

Natsuki is the hunter, and he is the prey.

Hunters are destined to eat their prey. Albert wouldn't dare say his hands were clean, but he could say he was definitely useful to Natsuki.

He wanted to use his own worth to save his life.

“We’ll cooperate, and each of us will get what we need,” Albert said resolutely, adjusting his glasses.

"If you don't believe me, you can compare it when you find another outsider."

Albert explained the motives, purposes, and interests to Xia Shu.

Most importantly, revealing his identity also put his life in Natsuki's hands ahead of time.

Xia Shu looked at him and pondered for a while.

He finally nodded.

"If you want to let a few of them live, of course I won't stop you. My main task is to find out who's behind your organization."

"Since you want to be my spy, of course you can."

With such an inside man, my mission will undoubtedly go much more smoothly.

As for whether the other party will betray him?

If he could do that, he wouldn't have had to self-destruct here.

Judging from his vital signs, there was no sign of him lying, so we can trust him for now.

Albert breathed a slight sigh of relief when he heard Natsuki agree.

"How many outsiders like you are there here?" Xia Shu asked next.

“There are four of us, including me,” Albert replied. “However, we don’t know each other’s positions or identities.”

Natsuki nodded.

In other words, besides him, there are three other people I need to deal with.

"Speaking of which... now that you've exposed this information, won't your organization try to eliminate you?"

The other party has already revealed quite a bit of information; Natsuki even felt that it could be classified as confidential.

"It's more like a program, and we don't know who the real mastermind is."

“As long as you don’t utter any key detection words, it’s fine,” Albert replied.

He knew he was just a pawn.

No one cares whether they live or die, as long as they can collect spacetime energy.

“Although we are just executors of missions, we are considered vicious criminals in the judgment of your Land of Light. Almost every one of us has countless innocent souls on our hands.”

"You don't need to think too much when you take action."

Hearing him say that...
