Am I the only one in this team who is not Ultraman?

"Tch, in the way!" Balki cursed angrily, then turned around and saw that Captain Stringman and the others had appeared at the street corner. He raised his voice a little, "Let's call it even this time. You'll experience the power of the shrinking gun soon enough!"

With that, Balki quickly jumped onto the roof and left. Captain Stringman and the others rushed over, but Balki had already disappeared. That guy was pretty fast.

"Jun, Tomoko, Leo, how are you?" Captain Stringman rushed into the house and saw a bewildered man shaking his head, clutching his chest in fear. His son rushed into his arms, tears streaming down his face.

Jiuling Sanqi Jiulong

Having just experienced that kind of thing last night, and then being startled by the Balky aliens just now, how could a child not be scared at all? I just had to hold it in.

As for Tomoko Hiruma, because everything happened so suddenly and ended so quickly, she didn't have much of a reaction. Emperor even helped to calm her down so that she wouldn't be frightened and suffer any psychological trauma.

"Where's Vice-Captain Leo?" Gento looked around, and the others immediately went into the room to stand guard, but they didn't see Leo.

"I'm here, ouch...it hurts, ouch, ouch, wait, what's going on?"

A somewhat childish voice rang out, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice. They saw a little child wearing a miniature version of the ESCG uniform crawl out from behind Tomoko Hiruma, covering his head and looking at his hands in disbelief.

Combining the words about shrinking guns that they had just heard, everyone immediately knew the child's identity, and then their jaws dropped in astonishment.

Back at the shrine, Renlong had finished his call with Director Sawai and came to the living room. He casually sat on the sofa and looked at Galatron, who was projecting various complex data. "Are you sure this plan will work?"

“If it were someone else, it wouldn’t have any effect, but Leo is trusted by his teammates at ESCG, so the plan is entirely feasible after considering all factors.”

The plan was simple yet effective: to have Balgi deliberately attack Leo in front of others to provide a plausible explanation for his shrinking body. After all, Balgi had previously had his Pedanium alloy "stolen" by the Special Investigation Division, so he had a reason to seek revenge on the Earth Defense Force.

Even Galatrom felt that witnesses might not be necessary. Leo said that everyone would believe him if he were attacked on the road, but to be on the safe side, it would be more appropriate to have Captain Stringman's wife and children as witnesses.

"Hopefully, how is she?" Renlong looked at Gatanothor, who was sleeping on Gorgorgon's chest. It had been really difficult to pull her off Leo today.

Perhaps because it was formed by combining the power split from Leo, Gatanothor is very clingy to it. Fortunately, although it is the darkness of Gatanothor, it is still Maga-Gatanothor, so it is also very close to Gorgorgon and Maga-Bassar, who are also Demon Lord Beasts. It has even used Gorgorgon's chest as a pillow.

"He is in a stable state. His sleepiness may be his nature. He has not shown any destructive tendencies. He reacts normally to anyone other than Leo, but he seems to regard Ako as his mother, apart from Leo and Ako, namely Gorgorgon and Rainbow Kagaki."

"His power has not yet been demonstrated, but he poses very little danger to anyone other than Magabasa. He shows excessive dependence on Leo, probably because he regards Leo as his closest relative."

Galatron's analysis was fairly comprehensive, and Renlong understood it, though there were some parts he didn't quite grasp.

"Why is Magabasa dangerous?" Renlong had barely finished speaking when a mournful cry rang out, "Big Sister!"

Magabasa ran from the doorway to Renlong's side, tearfully showing Renlong her arms as they transformed back into wings. "Look at my gorgeous feathers! It takes so much effort for me to maintain them, and she plucked so many of them!"

Because Magabasa's feathers were so beautiful, Gatanothor saw them while she was grooming them. Gatanothor, probably out of curiosity, plucked two feathers, but then, realizing they were useless, went back to sleep.

"Anyway, she'll grow fast, so stop crying." Renlong patted the troublesome girl on the shoulder. What's plucking her feathers? If she hadn't run fast this morning, her breakfast would have been soup.

"Why do you say she treats Ako like her mother?" Renlong didn't understand either. Just by looking at what Gorgorgon and Rainbow Kagachi said, it was clear that Gatanothor liked to use them as pillows.

“Because of… size.” Galatron lowered her head, and Renlong also lowered his head, then suddenly realized, oh, that’s the size. Then it seems there’s no problem. This house is small, only Aya’s is. Ampera’s is quite large.

Poor Zetton, Gatanothor is rather indifferent to her. Strictly speaking, she could really be considered Gatanothor's biological mother. She was blushing with joy just now, but right now she's venting her frustration by beating up Golza and Garula all over the world.

“How did it come to this?” Renlong leaned back on the sofa, looking at the ceiling. “There are so many people in this family all of a sudden… but there’s only one boy, Leo.”

“This family only needs Leo as a male.” Galatron silently calculated, while starting to manufacture the MK2 model. Apart from the allocation, there were no problems in this family, and it was very harmonious. “This family exists because of Leo.”

“That’s true.” Renlong walked to Gorgorgon’s side and reached out to stroke Gatanothor’s head. It was hard to reconcile the evil god who almost destroyed the ancient civilization with this clingy and cute little child.

Magabasa's extra remark today gave Renlong and Zetton a subconscious thought, a thought similar to that of Eleking, but none of them really dared to speak up. In the current situation, it was already quite difficult to have such a moment of leisure.

On the other side, just as Galatrom had predicted, because there were witnesses, and they even saw Balgi leave, the team members quickly accepted the fact that Leo had shrunk, and were even glad that Leo had only shrunk and had not encountered greater danger.

"Vice Captain Leo, why don't you go get checked out right away? I'll ask you for a long leave afterward, how about that?" Gento was extremely grateful to Leo, but Leo's condition made it hard not to worry about potential hidden dangers, and his combat power was certainly not as good as before.

"Don't look down on me, okay? I've just shrunk, not gotten weaker." Leo put his hands on his hips and stared at Stringman with a displeased look. His new body had adapted to Reiblood's powerful mental strength in every way, and Stringman really couldn't beat him.

"I am the vice-captain of ESCG, how can I back down over such a small matter?"

Seeing Leo's righteous and eloquent demeanor, everyone was deeply moved. Leo's determination to protect the Earth was truly strong, but the real reason went far beyond that.

He came up with this idea in order to continue working; otherwise, why go through all that trouble and end up resting at home like this? Leo didn't want to experience Eleking's 27-hour death electric current entanglement. His family members were all looking at him strangely, and he didn't dare go home.

Just now, when Leo deliberately blocked the light beam, he also pretended to reveal his aura. The demon Onijuro in Hiruma Jun's mind had already noticed him and was looking for an opportunity to take over Leo's body.

Chapter 153 Leo: Please Show Me Some Respect

"In conclusion, the demon Onijuro is just that kind of person. This guy probably wants to obtain the power of the pure one, and then break the seal to continue to wreak havoc on the world."

With his arms crossed, Leo told everyone about the demon Onijuro. No one questioned where Leo had learned the information; they simply believed the vice-captain's words.

"So, this guy is likely to come again?" Captain Gento's usually gentle face now showed an unusual seriousness. Leo could clearly feel the anger deep in his heart. If it weren't for his good professionalism, Captain Gento would probably have transformed and cleaved the demon Kijuro in two right now.

"Most likely," Leo said seriously, completely unaware of the strange looks he was getting. He was only 1.4 meters tall, which, to outsiders, was about the same height as the son of the String Man Captain.

Seeing Leo like this, Komon, Daigo, and the others even subconsciously had a voice in their minds to provide a voiceover.

Although his body has shrunk, his mind remains sharp. The all-powerful vice-captain—there's only one answer!

"You two seem to be thinking about something very rude." Leo looked sharply at Daigo and Komon, his sharp aura causing the two to sit up straight and quickly shake their heads in denial, "No, no, it's just your imagination, Vice Captain."

Leo pouted unhappily, which is why he didn't like being like this. The girls in his family all treated him like a child, and even Dimaga couldn't help but hug and rub him a couple of times. He felt like his personal image was about to be completely ruined.

“But this guy is considered a ghost now, and we lack experience in dealing with these kinds of things.” Fujiwara Juri pondered for a moment.

"Not really. TPC's archives also record similar incidents, such as the previous Mirror Moshi." Leo had at least looked through these incidents. "Even if they're called ghosts, they're still some kind of life form. The Hyper Gun can still cause damage; it's just that its abilities are a bit strange."

After all, since TPC was founded, they have only encountered a few similar incidents. It is normal that they have no experience in dealing with such situations. If they were to encounter the demon Kijuro alone, any one of them could wipe him out. However, considering that they cannot expose themselves and cannot use Ultraman's abilities in front of everyone, they are not allowed to do so.

So this is how these people usually act against me, right? Leo couldn't help but complain in his mind. These guys, apart from Blaze, seem to have all their talents focused on combat. The others should be able to handle demons and monsters.

However, we must be careful not to hurt Jun Hiruma's spirit. We still need to lure the enemy out. So, Leo has been deliberately leaking a dark aura since earlier. Of course, it is very weak. Even if Captain Gento and the others notice it, they will not be able to tell that it is coming from Leo. They will only think that the demon Kijuro is still in the house.

(As if you didn't hide anything from them.)

In Leo's mind, Ampera, sitting in the chair with her legs crossed and one hand supporting her chin, looked like a lazy and elegant cat. It was a pity that no one appreciated this touching scene.

"Honestly, I think your team is really weird. Was that guy named Sawai not just deliberately putting you guys together?"

The team has eight people, seven of whom are Ultraman, and the remaining one, Leo, is even a new Reibrondo. They are all really talented. Emperor thinks that Director Sawai's eye for talent is unparalleled.

“I’ve asked this several times. When the director selects people, he looks at actual results and various reports.”

Leo and Emperor's mental communication is something only they can hear. His Majesty the Emperor is becoming increasingly close to Leo, and even occasionally likes to lie on Leo's lap while he feeds him and chats with him.

"Then what's with this Daigo guy? How can he join the group with so many plane crashes?"

"Probably because he saved the director's life before... Just kidding. Aside from his driving skills, which might be his unlucky destiny, Daigo's abilities in other areas are top-notch."

Daigo was eliminated in the first round of testing for the GUTS team, but by chance he saved Director Sawai, which earned him recognition and another chance to be tested, allowing him to successfully join the GUTS team.

Although Daigo himself occasionally jokes that it's like he got in through connections, anyone who takes it seriously is underestimating Director Sawai's eye for talent and Daigo's abilities. If Daigo himself wasn't hardworking, how could he have joined ESCG?

If we had to say, Leo is more like the one who got in through connections. He became the vice-captain of ESCG right after joining the team, without any experience, and was given absolute control over many things. However, his efforts perfectly dispelled all such comments.

Put the company's rescue equipment on

While everyone was discussing, the demon Onijuro was also observing in the dark. Although he was hiding in the depths of Hiruma Jun's mind and could not feel the strong light on Captain Gento and the others, the faint aura of ultimate darkness emanating from Leo was too obvious to him and made him very excited.

Having once come into contact with the ultimate darkness, the demon Onijuro knew very well how powerful this power was. Although he had been sealed for so many years and had become much stronger due to his resentment, he still coveted it. Moreover, the dark aura on Leo's body was not strong, and he was no match for him at all.

Thinking of this, the demon Onijuro quietly began his operation. No one noticed that Jun Hiruma's shadow was slightly distorted. However, from Captain Gento to Daigo, everyone frowned. They had obviously discovered Onijuro's whereabouts, but they just didn't want to say it.

At the same time, the demon Onijuro also concealed his power and aura to better hide himself. Otherwise, he would have discovered that apart from Captain Gento's wife and children and Leo, the other five people around him were all emitting a strong and dazzling light. It was only because Imu and Fujimiya were responsible for staying in the command room that this place would have been even brighter.

But the demon Onijuro now only thought that his disguise was very good, and that he had not been discovered even under the noses of these people. Little did he know how funny his slow, wriggling appearance was in everyone's eyes. At least Leo was trying very hard to hold back, while Empera laughed very loudly. Anyway, no one could hear her except Leo.

"Ahem, so this demon Onijuro isn't actually that hard to deal with?" Captain Gento tried his best to appear as if he hadn't noticed anything wrong, but when he saw the demon Onijuro, hidden in the shadows, slowly crawling towards Leo, his heart jumped into his throat.

But should they reveal their identity as Ultraman at this moment? For a moment, Daigo, Komon, Gai, Fujiwara, Daigo and Gento all had the same thought.

“Hmm, even though Iida Iryu is dead, someone like him would definitely have some tricks up his sleeve to deal with the demon Onijuro.” Leo stood up casually, circled around as if he were checking things out, which made Onijuro, who had finally managed to get close to him, want to curse, and then continued to wriggle towards Leo.

"So all we need to do is find the descendants of Jing Tian and Jing Long?"

"No, that's actually not so easy, because Ida Iryu has no direct descendants,"

The reason why the demon Onijuro could not find out the whereabouts of Ida Iryu's descendants was because Ida Iryu lived a lonely life, never married and had no children. However, in order to prevent the seal from being broken after his death, Ida Iryu entrusted his brothers and his descendants to guard it.

That friend of Ida Iryu was indeed Ida Mari's ancestor. Back then, Sukuna Oni and the demon Onijuro joined forces to fight against Ida Iryu. Although they were both defeated and sealed by Iryu, Ida Iryu was also seriously injured. The Ida family did their job of guarding the seal. However, many things happened in the past five hundred years, and even the descendants have long forgotten them.

“There are many people with the surname Ida in this city, but the Special Investigation Division has already received information that only one family is involved with Ida Iryu.”

As he spoke, Leo happened to dodge the sneak attack from the demon Onijuro, which made him furious and wondered if he had been tricked. Leo then looked at Gento and signaled him to take care of the rest.

After all, this is in front of his wife and son, so of course Captain Stringman has to show his skills. Besides, Leo's current appearance is also a bit worrying.

"Komon and Daigo, you two are in charge of investigating the Ida family. Also, Kai and Fujiwara, you two are in charge of taking Tomoko and Jun to the TPC headquarters. I'm going to check on the place where the demon Kijuro is sealed."

Captain Stringman's abilities are undeniable, but there haven't been many opportunities to utilize them before, since Leo is so capable and always eager to do any job.

"What about me?" Leo pointed to himself, looking confused. Captain Stringman thought for a moment, mainly because the things that happened to Leo made it hard not to worry about his condition.

"Although I don't know the exact principle behind the Balky aliens' shrinking ray, it's unbelievable that you've become like this, Vice Captain Leo. As a precaution, it would be best to go back and get a full check-up."

Strangely enough, Balgi said to shrink the light, but Leo, who was hit by it, seemed to be rejuvenated. If you want to say it was rejuvenation, even his clothes became a smaller size, which is definitely the effect of shrinking.

To avoid any potential problems, Captain Stringman felt that having Leo go back and thoroughly check the situation would put everyone at ease.

"That should wait until this matter is over. How can it be that everyone is on a mission and I, the vice-captain, am not there?"

Although he had shrunk, Leo's aura remained strong. Even Gento was somewhat at a loss for words. His status as captain was effective elsewhere, but whether it worked in front of Leo depended on whether Leo acknowledged him.

As he spoke, Leo lifted his foot to dodge the sneak attack from the demon Onijuro. He found it quite fun to tease this guy. In Leo's mind, the character Empera smiled and shook his head slightly. Sure enough, after shrinking in size, he would have some playful thoughts.

"Let him touch you. Anyway, with his skill level, he can't possibly shake your mind. He'll be crushed the moment he enters your inner world."

Given Leo's strength, even if there were ten more of the Demon King Kijuro, the result would be the same. He's just a guy who's barely surviving thanks to a little bit of dark power. To say that comparing his mental strength to Leo is like throwing an egg against a rock is an understatement.

Strictly speaking, Leo is NEO, which is the new Reiblood, a new existence created by the female half of Reiblood with all her might. Even Emperor dared not say how strong his growth potential was.

"No way." Leo's voice reached Empera's ears directly. "It feels really uncomfortable to let this kind of guy touch my mind, like getting my new clothes dirty."

"And what about me?" Empera rested her chin on her hand. She was basically a permanent resident of Leo's mental world. Although she didn't go any deeper, she had indeed taken root here.

"Don't ask questions with such obvious answers." Leo silently rolled his eyes, looking at the demon Onijuro who was already fuming with anger. "I only choose you, Empera."

Emperor Empera loved hearing that, but unfortunately, it was harder for younger Leo to bring it up than when he was an adult. Sigh, if they were at home, Emperor Empera would be experiencing the feeling of rubbing Leo right now.

Leo's spiritual world belongs to her, and Emperor will not allow anyone to intrude here. Demon King Onijuro? With a thought, Emperor sent a powerful pressure directly onto the shadow of Demon King Onijuro, causing him to howl in pain as he appeared in the living room.

Fortunately, Captain Gento's wife and children had just been sent away, otherwise they would have been frightened again. Captain Gento even took action directly, pulling out his Hyper gun and attacking the other party. The demon Onijuro, who was about to utter a harsh threat, was hit again.

"You...you actually dared..." Demon King Kijuro looked at everyone in disbelief. He didn't know who had ambushed him and managed to hurt him.

"What do you mean, 'dare'? Do I need your opinion to beat you up?" Leo rubbed his hands together, ready to rush forward, but Komon reached around his waist with both hands, picked him up, and put him behind him. "Vice-Captain, you still need to be careful right now."

Leo's forehead was covered in black lines. If the situation hadn't prevented him from kicking Komon's knee, would he have shown such disrespect to his vice-captain?

"You just wait!" With his plan exposed, the demon Onijuro could only hastily turn into a wisp of black smoke and disappear.

In fact, Leo could have easily kept the demon Kijuro hidden without being discovered, but with the idea of ​​playing the long game, he wanted to use Kijuro to lure out the source of destruction. Galatron was already prepared to reverse-analyze and find the enemy's exact location at any time.

(This guy headed southeast.)

Mount Sukuna? Leo's brow twitched, and he quickly received a message from Gamu in the command room: "Vice Captain, Captain, a wormhole generating magnetic field of the Root's Destruction Invitation Entity has been detected above Mount Sukuna."

It seems the fish has taken the bait. Leo was quite surprised. Did the Destruction Summoning Body value this Demon Lord Onijuro so much? No... wait, is this another feint?

However, this time it's on Earth's home turf, so Leo and his team aren't afraid of playing this trick.

Chapter 154 My Dream: I Get Angry Just Seeing EyeQ

Leo was also helpless about shrinking, but his size did not mean that his combat power would decrease... well, okay, it would have some impact. For him now, it was still a bit difficult to reach the foot pedals of the fighter jet while sitting in the back.

"Vice Captain Leo, you can just focus on shooting and aiming, right?" Gento understood that Leo was having some operational difficulties at the moment. In fact, he hadn't originally planned to let Leo participate, but he couldn't resist Leo's insistence.

"I must protect Leo later," was Gento's most important thought at the moment. After all, he felt that Balgi was also after his family, and that Leo had become like this in order to protect his family.

Although the Special Investigation Division led the raid and stole a large quantity of Pedanium alloy that the other party wanted, the metal material was ultimately used in ESCG's King Joe armory, so Balgi's retaliation against ESCG was not unreasonable.

Leo had seen what Stringman was doing and could guess what Stringman was thinking. To be honest, Leo felt quite guilty, since he had used Stringman's family to find a barely acceptable explanation for his abnormal state.

However, it seems that everyone trusts him very much. Leo was somewhat moved. He and Gento piloted Unit-02, while Komon piloted EXJ, heading straight towards Mount Sukuna.

Legend has it that Ida Iryu once fought against Sukuna Oni at Mount Sukuna and initially had the upper hand. However, the demon Oni Juro suddenly appeared and summoned a terrifying monster to attack Iryu together with Sukuna Oni, causing Iryu to be seriously injured and later die from his injuries.

However, the demon Onijuro and Sukuna Oni were separated into two parts by Ida Iryu and sealed in the mountains. For more than 500 years, these two unfortunate brothers made a pact that when the seal was broken one day, they would first kill the descendants of Ida Iryu. If they could not find them, they would kill all the people with the surname Ida!

Now that Ida and Iryu have been dead for many years, they have become even stronger because of their resentment. With brothers fighting together, how could they possibly be a match for each other?
