Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

In Texas, Raleigh and Mako Mori, inside the cockpit of the Dangerous Ranger, simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed.

The heavy mechs rose from the monster's corpse, the sound of each gear turning echoing their surging emotions, as they withdrew their arms and pulled the chain swords stuck in the monster's body.

As the dawn shone on the massive mech, its outer armor damaged in many places, the scratches and traces of congealed monster blood, illuminated by the sunlight, made its imposing figure even more striking.

"It's been so long since I've seen such warm sunshine," Raleigh sighed as he looked out at the dawn from inside the cockpit.

They won the final battle against the monster.

Looking at the sunlight and then at the person beside her, Mako Mori was suddenly overwhelmed with complex emotions, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

“It’s over...we won…” Seeing the tears on her face, Raleigh unconnected the connector, came to her side, gave her a hug, and said with a smile.

He knew that Mako Mori was crying tears of joy.

Mako Mori reached out and wrapped her arms around his back.

“We all survived…” she said.

For some reason, her intuition kept telling her that she would lose Raleigh.

Now that the battle is completely over and everything has settled, the person who resonated with her soul, who supported and believed in her from behind, is standing here safely, witnessing the dawn with her. This gives her a joy of breaking free from a nightmare.

......

In the afternoon, all the mechs were arranged to return to the Shattered Dome base.

Natsuki also returned here.

Holding a creature that resembled a giant squid, the creature seemed not to be very adapted to Earth's environment, as its arms twitched involuntarily.

"Oh my God!"

"my God!"

At the base entrance, Newton, who was docking the monster's body with the transport team, saw Natsuki and noticed the oversized squid that Natsuki was carrying. He immediately recognized it as a genuine Pioneer, an alien creature.

Her eyes lit up immediately, and she ran over screaming.

"These are the pioneers!"

"My God, it's alive!"

Ignoring everything else, Newton reached out and touched the three-meter-long Pioneer.

"Get out of my way!" Quirk shouted in the Pioneer's unique language, trying to reach out and crush Newton.

But as soon as he made a move, Xia Shu gently tapped him on the head, and his whole body went limp, and he temporarily lost consciousness.

“Be gentle... Mr. Natsuki, look, his skull is cracked.” Newton said with concern when he saw the tiny cracks in Quake’s crown.

"He just tried to kill you," Xia Shu reminded him.

“I know, I know!” Newton didn’t care at all, his eyes still scanning Quake with curiosity. “I’m so curious about his internal structure.”

"Mr. Natsuki... could you... leave me some of your body tissue?" Newton asked expectantly.

He was eager to study the pioneers.

However, he also knew that Xia Shu had a use for this guy, so he only wanted some of his body tissue.

"Alright then." Xia Shu had a good understanding of scientists and knew that once their curiosity was aroused, it was impossible to suppress.

So he threw Newton a piece of body tissue that he had accidentally knocked off when he knocked Quake unconscious.

"Thank you!" Newton took the piece of body tissue attached to the crown, excitedly collected it, and then ran back to the base, ready to go back to the laboratory to study it carefully.

Chapter 78 Who's targeting me?

Inside the base, a temporarily converted, closed cell.

The sound of a key being inserted came from the steel gate.

Having been starving for a day and a night, Zachary Lyman was jolted awake by the sound. He was tightly bound and could only crawl forward, hoping that the person had come to deliver food.

"Food...water..." he called out, his throat dry.

He is now completely different from the glamorous image he presented in the news. His brown hair is matted, his face is weathered, and his suit is tattered, making him look no different from a homeless person.

Of course, this doesn't mean he was mistreated at the base; everyone was busy saving the world and had no time for him.

Lyman stared at the doorway with hopeful eyes, wanting to see the delicious meal he had imagined.

After the gate was fully opened.

The first thing he saw was the familiar flip-flops and green floral shirt—this was the man he had been dreaming of!

"Hey, you look pretty energetic." Xia Shu looked down at Lyman, who was constantly laying pupae on the ground, and raised an eyebrow as she said, "You even have the interest to exercise."

“I…” Lyman met his gaze and was momentarily speechless.

Just as I was about to say something, I saw Natsuki throw in an extra-large squid.

"Your roommate is here."

“But don’t worry, neither of you will be staying here for long. We’ll arrange for you to go to our prison soon,” Xia Shu said, clapping her hands.

Meanwhile, Albert and Marshal Steker also arrived.

Quake, who had been thrown to the ground, woke up groaning.

Fortunately, the cell was big enough, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to fit five people.

Three time travelers, one Ultraman, and one local marshal—this lineup is quite strange.

"Have you finished that mission yet?" Xia Shu turned to Albert and asked.

He remembered that the purpose of these time travelers was to change the fate of the world and then steal the spacetime energy. Now, except for one time traveler who had already died, the rest were all here.

“No, usually our missions are settled when the time limit expires or when only one person remains,” Albert answered truthfully.

Their mission had been completely messed up by Xia Shu, and he was now glad that he had chosen to be on Xia Shu's side.

His only hope of escaping his transmigrator identity now lies with Xia Shu, so naturally he won't hide anything.

"How much longer until the settlement?" Xia Shu asked.

“76 hours,” Albert replied.

A little over three days...

Xia Shu rubbed her chin with one hand, thinking that this was still a bit too long.

He didn't want to keep an eye on those two for three days.

“How about this, I’ll contact the Land of Light and have them locked up in the space prison,” Natsuki said.

“Okay.” Albert nodded. “The mission will be automatically completed after they leave this world.”

"My impact on this world is not significant, and the spacetime energy I ultimately gain will not be much."

"After the settlement, I will be forcibly teleported out of this world and then enter the next mission world."

Only those few organized time travelers can reap the benefits of spacetime energy after they have impacted the world; the changes Xia Shu caused will not affect his calculations.

Xia Shu listened and nodded.

After this period of contact, Albert is still someone I can somewhat trust, at least their interests are aligned.

Xia Shu wants to investigate the organization behind these time travelers, while Albert wants to get rid of his identity as a time traveler. They are currently on the same side.

“Speaking of which, the organization behind you is really lenient, allowing you to reveal so much information,” Xia Shu said.

After verifying with the other transmigrators, he knew that the information Albert provided was true, and that the guy genuinely wanted to return to freedom.

However, this made him even more curious about the organization behind them. Wasn't there supposed to be word detection? How could they still reveal so much information?

Albert explained, "As I told you before, the system we interface with doesn't have any intelligence; it's just like a program."

"So... I had my suspicions before, that maybe someone wanted to use us indirectly through this program."

"However, the other party has never shown their face or revealed any information."

Having traveled through several worlds as a transmigrator, he was very curious about the people behind the system, but he never had the opportunity to obtain relevant information.

The other party is hiding their true intentions too well.

As Albert spoke, the two prisoners in the cell understood him.

"damn it!"

"You actually betrayed us!"

"I was wondering how he could find me so easily!" Lyman yelled at Albert, who was utterly disgracing transmigrators.

He didn't know how to fight such an overpowered thing as Ultraman, and then there was a traitor among them!

This is impossible to play!

“You will pay the price for this behavior,” Quirk added, though he could still speak human language.

Such blatant defection will surely be punished by the system.

“I’d like to know who will make me pay the price,” Albert retorted without mincing words.

The system they interact with is an emotionless program. As long as he can bring back the spacetime energy, the system will not target him, and besides, no one will know what happened here.

If someone wants to punish him, it must be someone behind the system. He'd like to see who that person is.

"you......"

“Fine…that’s ruthless.” Quirk stared at Albert and said helplessly.

He could tell that this guy had staked everything on Ultraman.

Going all in is a form of wisdom.

To be honest, it's just that he didn't have the chance, otherwise he would have defected to the enemy too.

He knew that even if he defected to the enemy now, they would not agree.

"But even if nothing happens to you..."

“If this guy reappears in the next mission world, he’ll definitely be targeted by everyone,” Lyman said, looking at Natsuki.

Albert can bring back spacetime energy to the system, so nothing will happen.
