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

If even his last resort can't kill the Five Emperors, he will choose to stay here until the very end, but he doesn't want Zetton and Dimaga to die with him.

"I will not leave Leo's side," Zetton's voice reached Leo's heart. "If Leo dies, I will not choose to live alone."

"Then fight with me to the last second, Zetton. Help me out. I'll deliberately crash the plane later, using the last option, the Zelda bomb... I hope the yield is sufficient."

Chapter 35 The Final Victory

The Zildar bomb is a highly powerful weapon of mass destruction created by highly concentrating Zildar gas. Originally, Zildar gas, like the Max system, was researched as part of an energy project.

However, during the old defense army era, there was fierce competition and various scientific inventions, including Zlda gas.

Later, with the establishment of TPC and the emergence of Golza, the hawks decided to use Zerda Gas to eliminate monsters in order to gain greater power.

However, no one expected that the tiny amount of Zlda gas, about the size of an eye drop, which Dr. Masachika Nezu, the inventor, had placed in his home, would accidentally fall onto the floor. The wooden floorboards happened to be the catalyst that many scientists had been searching for, and together with the air, the leaked Zlda gas became a bomb.

The research made progress, but at the cost of Dr. Nezu's daughter and nearly 10,000 people in two surrounding towns within a few kilometers losing their lives, and the Zelda bomb was sealed away as a result.

When Leo contacted Dr. Masachika Nezu, who was ostracized by the entire academic community, this was his response.

"If doing this can truly save some people from my sinful research, then you can take it."

At this very moment, the thing that could decide everything was in the cockpit behind Leo. If it were detonated directly, one-tenth of Australia's land might be burned down.

So Leo was terrified. He worried that the power of the Zildar bomb would not be enough to destroy the Five Emperors, but he also feared that its power would be too great and lead to unpredictable consequences.

Leo considered many possibilities, including the possibility of all forty-odd monsters coming back to life. The worst possibility was the giant Five Emperors formed by the fusion of these forty-odd monsters. Against such a creature, the Ultraman, whose power was currently incomplete, had no chance of winning.

Orb flew behind the Five Emperors, constantly accumulating power as the light wheel in his hand grew larger and larger than himself. After throwing it out, he split off several light wheels of the same size, breaking all the crystals behind the Five Emperors and removing the protection of the warp barrier. Blaze finally found an opportunity, breaking the light spear and piercing Super Gob's eye.

After realizing that he was unable to defeat these humans and Ultraman, the pain made the Five Emperors' attacks even more violent. Tiga was hit by an accident and was sent flying back and crashing into the ground, creating a deep crater. The immense pain made it impossible for him to even stand up.

The Five Emperors then decisively released ultrasonic rays and countless destructive light bullets, intending to kill Tiga directly. Nexus decisively stood in front of Tiga and erected a protective shield, the ground beneath his feet cracking under the enormous impact.

Nexus's shield was indeed powerful, but could Nexus himself withstand such energy consumption? Leo decisively fired at the head of the Five Emperors, interrupting its attack.

"This is the Australian branch. Two giant insect-like monsters have appeared near the high-purity energy power plant! Requesting backup!"

Hearing the urgent calls coming through his earpiece, Leo's mood calmed down even more. In his eyes, everything around him seemed to slow down. This feeling was hard to describe, as if it were the first time he had followed his instincts of anger to summon Zetton and the first time he had called out Reiblood's name.

Believe in yourself, Leo. A person who doesn't even believe in themselves can't do anything well.

“Grandma…” Leo took a deep breath, then made up his mind, “Zetton!”

In an instant, Zetton, who was fighting alongside the Ultramen, transformed into human form and appeared behind Leo. With one hand grabbing him and the other hand holding onto the Zildar bomb beside him, he teleported away from the cockpit. At the same time, the Five Emperors' ultrasonic ray swept over, turning Leo's Unit 2 into a dazzling fireball just a second before Blaze could grab it.

Seeing this, the four Ultramen clenched their fists in anger, their momentum rising steadily. Tiga clenched his fists and stood up from the ground, his anger overshadowing his pain.

The red lights on the chests of the four Ultramen kept flashing, just like their mood at that moment. The Five Emperors were completely unaware of this, roaring as they strode forward, raising their feet as if to crush Nexus and Tiga to death.

But then the Five Emperors suddenly stopped, its body falling backward uncontrollably. Blazer was seen grabbing its tail, using all its strength to pull the Five Emperors, which was over 600 meters tall, back several steps. Blazer then exerted its strength again, red and blue energy flowing and even overflowing from its body, throwing the Five Emperors away.

This scene startled the remaining fighter pilots and stunned the Five Emperors. Tiga and Nexus followed closely behind, using a combination of Layered Storm and Zepelion Ray to strike the Five Emperors in the face, while Orb took the opportunity to destroy Melba's head.

The situation seemed to reverse in an instant, but Ultraman Tiga and the others knew very well that the Five Emperors recovered too quickly. Such injuries would heal in a few minutes at most, while they did not have that much time.

Meanwhile, at TPC Hospital, Fujimiya stopped the anxious Gamu, saying, "Gamu, your injuries are more serious than mine. I'll go this time."

With the two of them currently only at V1 level, it would be extremely difficult to deal with the Five Emperors. Therefore, Fujimiya once thought of giving his power directly to my dream so that he could achieve a sublimation, but later found that he could not do so.

The situation is urgent. The high-purity energy power plant of the Australian branch has been attacked by monsters. The two of them don't care that their injuries haven't healed yet, and I even took out the Blue Sapphire Cone.

“Someone has to stay at the base just in case. Fujimiya, you’re in better shape than me. If I don’t make it back… please tell Atsuko and everyone else I’m sorry.”

After I finished speaking, I raised the Blue Sapphire Cone and transformed into a red light, disappearing into the horizon, leaving Fujimiya looking at the dark ocean under the night sky, her feelings complicated.

"How about it?"

"There's no way to stop the power plant's energy supply. The two monsters are draining the power plant's energy, and we can't interrupt the pipeline. The defense forces are all fighting the monsters and can't spare the time to come here!"

"Look, what is that?"

A red light crashed to the ground, kicking up a high cloud of sand. The red Ultraman struck a pose, but the two monsters in front of him completely ignored his appearance, continuing to absorb high-purity energy, their bodies radiating high temperatures and pale golden light.

Seeing this, Gaia rushed forward to try to stop it, but a voice appeared in his ear.

(Warrior of Light, stop! Taganura is not your enemy!)

Gaia stopped abruptly and looked around, but couldn't find the source of the sound. However, the sound felt particularly familiar to him and didn't seem like an enemy.

(This enemy is very powerful, and you cannot defeat them with your current incomplete strength. That is why I have summoned them to help. I will share the light of the earth with you. Please help me.)

"Strange, why isn't Ultraman stopping these two monsters? Defeat them quickly!"

"Stop arguing and get out of here! Ultraman, we can talk about what you need to say later!"

Inside the Dragon God Shrine, Ren used the earth's veins to transmit a portion of the Earth's Light to Gaia. The indescribable pain made her face turn pale. Already under immense pressure, she now had to divert her own power, leaving her extremely weak, and she fainted on the ground.

At the same time, the red stripe on Gaia's chest, which had been drawing power from the earth's veins, turned black, and all that could be heard was the weak voice of Renlong.

(Warriors of Light, the new enemy is too powerful, and the seals you have set are growing weaker. You must... reclaim your original power.)

Gaia immediately understood what he had to do. He flew into the sky and opened a circular barrier, calculating the distance from here to the battlefield of the Five Emperors and the angle required for refraction. At the same time, the two Taganura were ready, raising their heads and firing powerful beams of light at him with immeasurable force.

Meanwhile, inside the Five Emperors, Leo and Zetton, now in their awakened forms, planted the Zelda bomb and finally saw what the monster's interior looked like. Its exterior was ferocious, and its interior was even more terrifying, with dozens of monster corpses pieced together. Leo could only hear their wails.

"Is the injury serious?" Leo looked at Zetton's burned shoulder with heartache. There was a special space inside the Five Emperors that could not be teleported. In order to break in, Zetton had to hold Leo, open the barrier, and withstand the attack to squeeze through Super Gob's mouth.

"It's alright, Leo, your injury..." A hand wrapped around Leo's shoulder. Zetton looked at his almost useless left hand. Leo didn't say anything, but just set the countdown timer for the explosion. Zetton then carried Leo out of the wound that Blaze had inflicted on Super Gob.

"Listen up, everyone! This is Leo, the vice-captain of ESCG. We've just received news that a Zelda gas bomb has been planted inside the monster's stomach. It's forty seconds before it explodes! Everyone, evacuate to the safe zone! Everyone..."

No one responded. The last of the three defense squadrons of the Australian branch, the Flying Swallow No. 1, crashed into the face of the Five Emperors right in front of Leo, turning into a ball of fire and interrupting its ultrasonic beam, buying time for the exhausted Ultraman to recover.

They never gave up the attack until the very last moment, nor did they retreat.

"..." Leo clenched his fists, looking at the ferocious appearance of the Five Emperors, and became increasingly angry. This anger was felt by Zetton as well, who felt that Leo seemed to have broken through some limit again.

The battle continued, but the Ultramen's power was almost depleted, while the Five Emperors were rapidly recovering. Looking at the Ultramen who had reached their limits and could no longer even dodge, the Five Emperors seemed to have a mocking smile on their faces. The Super Goblin head, Golza head, and Melba head, which had already recovered, simultaneously charged up their power.

However, the next second, two intense beams of light shot from afar pierced through its body, causing the Five Emperors to stop moving abruptly. The beams of light were even moving, as if they were trying to tear it apart.

The warp shield was destroyed, and Garula's defenses were as thin as paper under such an attack. The Five Emperors were completely enraged and wanted to launch an attack to destroy everything in sight, regardless of the consequences.

However, in that instant, a strange fear caused its eyes to turn to one place: on a sand dune not far away, Leo was watching it. But in the eyes of the Five Emperors, it was a much taller, indescribable phantom.

That gaze was so terrifying, so compelling, that it made one want to submit. An invisible pressure gripped the Five Emperors' heads in an instant. Blood trickled from the corner of Leo's mouth, and a sharp pain shot through his chest. He was trying to forcibly control the Five Emperors, even if he could only control them for a few short seconds.

In an instant, the Five Emperors suddenly felt a powerful energy explode inside their bodies. This energy was so immense that, under the combined attack from both inside and outside, their massive bodies could not withstand it at all.

With a deafening roar, the massive explosion engulfed the entire body of the Five Emperors, announcing its defeat and the victory of the warriors.

Chapter 36 Balki's Loyalty

The power of the Zildar bomb was indeed very strong. Leo's calculated yield not only destroyed the Five Emperors, but the shockwave from the explosion even blew away the wreckage of the penetrating bomb launcher. If it weren't for Zetton's barrier, the wreckage of the Victory Swallow, the Ultramen, and Leo would probably have all flown to who knows where.

As Leo's emotions surged, Zetton's power increased further. Her barrier was now more versatile and stronger in every aspect than before. However, Leo himself could not bear the burden and fell backward, only to be quickly caught by Zetton.

The violent explosion tore the Five Emperors apart, its body turning into countless tiny fragments scattered all over the ground. Leo, enduring a severe headache, picked up a piece and used his last strength to summon Dimaga.

"Dimaga! Burn all these fragments..."

Previously, he had been careless and hadn't disposed of the monster's corpse in time. Now, Leo would not give the enemy any chance. After giving the order, he fainted.

It was seven o'clock in the evening. The starry sky above was still bright and dazzling, but the once vibrant grassland had turned into a wasteland covered with yellow sand. The Ultramen who fought to the last moment didn't even have time to glance at Leo before they became transparent and disappeared.

Zetton, supporting the unconscious Leo who was mortally wounded, glanced at the injury on his own shoulder and then at Dimaga. "Put the wreckage of those fighter jets together. These are all soldiers worthy of respect."

The battle was indeed fierce. If Leo hadn't prepared the Zildar bombs in advance, he wouldn't have known how to deal with the gigantic Five Emperors. Zetton also didn't expect the enemy to be so powerful.

If the opponent were of normal size, and were simply a few monsters fused together, then Zetton could handle it. However, the combination of dozens of monsters created a qualitative change, making this colossal Five Emperors the most troublesome enemy to date. Fortunately, this guy doesn't have the abnormal defense that Garula has.

"This is... the location of those people. Hmm, they're still alive..." The ESCG communicator sends out a distress signal when it detects that the holder's vital signs are weak. Looking at the location displayed on Leo's communicator, Zetton gave Dimaga a look.

Dimaga nodded quickly, found Leo's teammates and captain, and discovered that each of them was seriously injured and unconscious, making it difficult to even move them. He could only ask Zetton to use teleportation to move them together.

He needed more power to protect Leo. It seemed that he and Dimaga alone were not enough. Zetton looked at Dimaga and told her to take care of Leo, while he teleported away from where he stood.

Meanwhile, on the other side, above a high-purity energy power plant in Australia, Gaia, with its chest timer flashing continuously, landed smoothly on the ground, watching the two Taganuras burrow back underground.

Even though he had obtained a portion of the Earth's Light and temporarily advanced to V2 status, he still expended a lot of energy when he used his shield to deflect the beams fired by the two monsters. Now, he only had enough stamina left to barely make it back.

However, if the barrier in V2 state is not used for refraction, no matter how far away this powerful beam is fired directly towards the Five Emperors, everything along the way will be evaporated, the damage will be incalculable, and the power will be greatly reduced.

"This is the Australian branch reserve team number one. Ultraman Gaia has already left. Judging from the attack trajectories of the two monsters, they are not dangerous enemies."

"Second Reserve Team received. Proceeding to retrieve the personnel from the scene... and the remains of our predecessors."

The Australian branch of the defense force was completely wiped out in the battle against the Five Emperors, suffering heavy losses, but it also prevented the destruction of the entire country. The reserve force immediately took its place.

Meanwhile, in the ruins that had been ravaged by Astromuses, the Balky aliens had arrived half an hour early to wait.

After returning, Balki thought about it for a long time. Actually, it wasn't impossible for him to run away if he wanted to; he was quite confident in his ability to escape.

After thinking for a long time, the Balgi alien decided to come here and wait for Leo. He wanted to take a gamble. The sense of oppression and fear that Leo brought him was absolutely real. Such a person was definitely not a simple character, and his future achievements would definitely not be low.

Having spent his entire life as an unknown nobody, looked down upon wherever he went, how could Balki not dream of one day rising to prominence? Now the opportunity is right in front of him; whether he can seize it or not depends entirely on himself.

"It's not eight o'clock yet, but it looks like you've been waiting for a long time."

A cold voice reached his ears, and Balgi turned around in surprise to look at Miss Zetton standing behind him. Of course he remembered her. It was because he saw that Leo could control such a powerful monster at will, and even turn Zetton into this state, that he realized that Leo was not simple and had the idea of ​​following him.

"Balki, it seems you've made your choice?"

Balki nodded quickly, then noticed a burn mark on Zetton's shoulder, as if it were injured. What kind of enemy could injure such a powerful Zetton?

"Are you injured?"

"Just dealing with a somewhat troublesome enemy," Jaden said casually, as if he were discussing a trivial matter.

“What kind of enemy could make you… Oh, right, use this.” Balki took out a blue syringe. “This is a high-end product that I saved up for a long time to buy.”

"No need, you can keep it yourself. Your intention is enough. I'm only here to tell you what kind of person you will be loyal to from now on."

Zetton's injuries could be healed inside the Ultimate Fighting Device, so there was no need for the injection given by Balki, and Leo's physical abilities also made it unnecessary.

"Balki, listen carefully." Zetton's cold tone turned serious, causing Balki to lower his head involuntarily. "Yes."

"In the near future, that great one will surely become the overlord who dominates the entire universe, controlling everything and giving order to everything. Whether it is the Alien Empera, the Juda, or anything else, whoever blocks his path, we will sweep them away."

Zetton's tone was completely flat, as if he were simply stating a fact. This tone both frightened and excited Balky, and Zetton's next words made him gasp for breath.

"Just like the Reibloodians, who created him with their own hands in search of even greater power and who ruled the universe for tens of thousands of years."

Now Balgi had no more doubts. He finally understood why he felt fear the moment he saw Leo—it was a fear of Reiblood that flowed in his racial genes.

Seeing Balky's shoulders trembling slightly, his expression a mixture of fear and excitement, Jaden was certain of his loyalty.

"Lord Nix has only recently awakened and does not yet have his own power, but he already considers this planet and all life on it as his own. You know what to do."

"My subordinate understands!"

Nix, I see. Is it a name taken directly from the race name Leonis? Well, since it's an individual created by Reiblood himself, it naturally represents the entire race. Balgi thought to himself, and at the same time made up his mind to follow Leo.

Chapter 37 Charlie's Investment

News of the complete loss of the Australian branch of the defense force quickly reached TPC headquarters, and an emergency internal meeting was convened. After watching the video footage left by the fighter jet before it crashed, all the senior TPC officials fell silent.

"The vacancy in the Australian branch has been filled and equipment is being transported there, but it must be said that the current situation is extremely dire."

Director Sawai's expression was unusually serious, especially after learning that all members of ESCG were seriously injured and some were even in critical condition. He was filled with unprecedented worry.

Director Sawai was aware of Leo's plan to use the Zildar bomb, but only he, Director Yoshioka, and Dr. Nezu knew about it. However, he did not expect Leo to actually use it.

"A monster six hundred meters tall..." Director Yoshioka didn't know what to say. Such a monster, even if it just stood there, could scare some people to death.

"According to Vice Captain Leo's analysis, this monster was formed by the fusion of the corpses of all the monsters that were destroyed today. Therefore, we must be especially careful in the future, and all monster corpses, even slightly larger fragments, must be destroyed."

"Where are Vice-Captain Leo and Captain Stringman?"

"Although no ESCG members were killed in this operation, all of them were seriously injured. Only Vice Captain Leo was in better condition, but he was unable to attend the meeting."

The meeting room fell silent once again. No one knew what to say. The hawks wanted to talk about strengthening the military, but they didn't know how to do so to defeat such an enemy. The doves clenched their fists.

"We need power, the power to protect the Earth and humanity, but as it stands, our power is still insufficient."

"As you all know, TPC established friendly relations with some alien friends when it was first founded. Now... we have to ask these friends for help."
