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

It's not that I don't trust Dr. Otomo and his team's abilities, it's just that this isn't an independently developed product, and besides, the appearance...

"Why does it look so much like a coffin?" Hong Kai couldn't help but mutter to himself, and everyone's foreheads creased with dismay.

There was no way around it; the appearance of this physiological repair device was just too much like a Western-style coffin. Balki even drew a cross on it to represent the head and tail.

Just looking at its design makes you instinctively not want to lie down inside.

"Perhaps this is the manufacturer's anti-counterfeiting label or a local custom." Dr. Dango wasn't sure either, but he was certain that this thing would work.

"Are you sure there won't be any adverse effects?" Komon asked again.

"There are many instruments, so the tests are done very quickly. Several volunteers went in an hour ago, and the test reports we just received show that they are healthier than ever before, and even younger."

Volunteers of all ages and genders were contacted repeatedly to confirm that there were no problems or hidden dangers before daring to let the string people come for treatment. It has to be said that the discovery of what Balki sent was really timely.

The only downside is that the energy required for these instruments varies depending on the injury of the patient. For example, it costs a few dollars to scrape the scales off a fish, but for someone like Daigo... it's not just a matter of a few hundred or a few thousand dollars.

"I'll go first," Daigo thought for a moment. "My injuries are the most serious, so I'll give it a try for everyone first."

"Let me do it." Hong Kai felt he should take the lead; if there was anything wrong with the equipment, he could protect himself.

"No, I'm the captain. I'll handle things first. If anything happens to me, then Vice Captain Leo can take over as captain."

There's no way around it, the injury rate at ESCG is just too high. Even Gamu and Fujimiya were just discharged from the hospital today. Only Leo, the vice-captain, has a perfect attendance rate and works at maximum intensity.

As the captain, Gento naturally took the lead, and the others had no choice but to operate it. Then everyone discovered that this coffin... had a side-opening lid.

With a strange feeling, Captain Gento lay down inside. As the coffin lid... well, the repair device was closed, Gento's vision went completely dark. He suddenly felt very tired and sleepy, and couldn't help but close his eyes and fall asleep.

Stringman had a dream. He dreamt that he was floating in a white sea of ​​light, and then he saw Blaze, and Blaze saw him too.

"Blaze, what exactly is going on here...?"

Blazer didn't answer, but pointed to what was beneath him. There seemed to be something below the white sea of ​​light. Genji looked down instinctively, but saw nothing but darkness, endless darkness, menacing as if it were about to crawl out of the abyss.

Then, the Stringman suddenly noticed something in the darkness. He looked closely and found that it was a dozen or so giant sculptures, some of which were blurry, but one of them was Blaze.

When the stringman turned around again, Blazer had disappeared, and his consciousness gradually blurred as he drifted into a deeper sleep.

When Leo learned that Captain Stringman had begun treatment, he couldn't help but marvel at how fast the operation was. Less than three hours had passed since Balki deliberately sent the supplies out, and while evacuation work was still underway here, supplies were already being used there.

However, TPC must have done their research before daring to use it on the characters, proving that what Charlie gave them was indeed fine. Putting aside other aspects, at least in business, he understands that reputation is the most important thing.

“Vice Captain Leo.” The head of the SKIP branch in S City personally came to Leo and saluted him. “The evacuation is expected to take another hour and a half to complete.”

"It's alright. Have the evacuations in regions L and K been completed?" Leo said, feeling rather puzzled. He had asked Ren where the darkness sealed by the so-called elemental warriors was, and Ren's answer was region K.

"It's done. These two areas were the first to start evacuation. Other places will take time. Although there have always been contingency plans, it's still difficult for people to evacuate smoothly as planned when it comes to their own lives."

So what's going on with this place called K region? Why does it always involve K region? It seems like K region is doomed again. Leo suddenly remembered that the shrine is also in K region. He hoped that nothing would happen there in the future.

According to Ren, that place was a wasteland many years ago. When the Ultra Warriors sealed the darkness there tens of millions of years ago, they never imagined that a city could be built on this land.

"I understand all of that, but our enemies aren't stupid either. I bet they're about to get restless."

"Do you think they will choose to act ahead of time?"

As for Leo, although he had only been in the defense team for half a month, he had already become a legend. There was no way around it; he was given a high position upon joining the team, and he had participated in several large-scale battles against monsters and was still alive and kicking. Who wouldn't admire him?

"No, rather I hope they can make a move sooner."

"why?"

"If they can still be patient and not take action, it means there's bigger trouble waiting for us."

Leo has reassigned Sky Base to assist the Australian branch in its defense. The only teams available to TPC headquarters are the Victory Team and the Special Vanguard Team, which are the Silver Star Vanguard Team that have previously assisted in many battles.

Watching the silver Flying Swallow No. 1 Mod streak across the night sky like a shooting star, Leo connected to the other party's communication, "Captain Maki, we're cooperating again."

"It is an honor to carry out this mission with ESCG and GUTS. Vice Captain Leo, please give your instructions."

"I won't give you specific tasks. You just need to act according to the situation. I may not have time to command the battle once it starts. If Ultraman appears, cover them. If it's Zetton... don't attack it first. Zetton isn't on our side, but it's not exactly an enemy either."

The Silver Star Vanguard Team, led by Shunichi Maki, is undoubtedly the best team in TPC. Unfortunately, their strength lies mainly in aerial combat. ESCG needs more well-rounded talent. Otherwise, Shunichi Maki's piloting skills would definitely not be a problem for ESCG.

"Received." Maki Shunichi replied, and Leo suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, Captain Maki."

"Hmm, is there something wrong?" Maki glanced at the radar and the city below with his teleportation, but there was nothing unusual yet.

"If possible in the future, I hope you can come to our ESCG and mentor our team's fighter piloting skills."

Leo scratched his head. He felt that Daigo and Komon really needed some coaching on their piloting skills. If they had piloting skills like Shunichi Maki, the probability of crashing would decrease. Leo didn't want to be stared at with gritted teeth every time he went to the armory.

However, we can only consider these things after this battle is over.

Chapter 51 Fujimiya, you're not acting anymore, are you?

In the K region of S City, hundreds of Kirieloids are gathered deep within the ley lines, facing a massive stone sphere whose surface is covered in cracks, as if it could shatter at any moment.

However, without Renlong's weakness, the Kirieloids would never have discovered that such a powerful dark force was hidden here. Without their intervention, the seal would not have been broken for at least thirty years.

But now, hundreds of Kirieloids are using their own power to accelerate the breaking of the seal. This is the will of the highest god, and this powerful force should naturally belong to the great Kirieloids!

"Is it almost eight o'clock?"

"It seems so, but this seal is more complicated than we thought, it might take a while to complete, but our schedule is for eight o'clock, right?"

"How about we postpone it?"

"No, that would make the Earthlings complacent, and people who don't know better would think that we Kirieloids are afraid of them."

The Kirieloids place great importance on rituals, especially in the process of demonstrating power to recruit followers. They pay close attention to their performance, just as they did when they came to Earth in the Middle Ages.

In fact, the Kirieloids came to Earth in the Middle Ages, before the monster disaster struck. So why didn't these guys choose to spread their religion then? Because they couldn't compete with it. Well, they were outnumbered and couldn't compete with the local religions on Earth.

Later, due to some changes in the universe, the Kirieloids chose to temporarily leave Earth. It wasn't until a few years ago that they sent some people back. Then they began to wonder if they had gone to the wrong place. Was this still Earth? Monsters were growing like weeds, one after another.

So the Kirieloids figured that there must be many desperate people on Earth who had no hope for the future, a large number of potential believers, and with the monster disasters happening frequently in recent months, human society was under even more pressure, making it easier to spread their faith.

At the same time, they were surprised to discover that this Earth actually harbored a tremendous power, which was sealed inside the stone sphere in front of them, and they didn't know who had sealed it.

Regardless of who sealed it, it now belongs to the great Kirieloid people!

With this in mind, Kirieloid began the work of breaking the seal, and there's no doubt that they were that confident.

Of course, they didn't forget their promise to choose District L of S City to demonstrate their power. Recently, those Ultramen have caused quite a stir in human society, with many people actually believing that these Ultramen are their saviors, which is truly foolish.

Once the Kirieloids defeat these Ultramen, these ignorant humans will understand who can lead and protect them.

However, before that, they still need to break this troublesome seal. Once they obtain this power, they won't have to worry about those Ultramen anymore!

Just as the Kirieloids were preparing to make their move, Fujimiya was also searching for the group, but to no avail; it seemed the Kirieloids had all gone into hiding.

"This is Leo, Fujimiya. We're about to meet up. Your position is too deep and it's very dangerous. We need to retreat first."

Leo's voice was mingled with the sound of the wind; this battlefield commander had most likely found another high vantage point for observing the battlefield.

"receive."

He received the message, but Fujimiya was still quite confident in his abilities. He wasn't the kind of human host who couldn't fight without transforming into Ultraman. If he were to reunite with Leo, he would actually have a harder time finding an opportunity to transform.

Meanwhile, after hanging up the communication, Leo was standing on the roof of a commercial building, looking down at the deserted city. The once colorful city, adorned with electrified glass tubes, was now completely silent, with only the bright moonlight as its sole color.

Leo suddenly remembered what Uncle Obik had told him when he was a child: the nights used to be extremely quiet yet beautiful. Now he understood it to some extent.

(Question from Leo: Does this unit need to participate in the battle?)

"It could be very difficult, Galactron, is that alright?" Considering Renlong's attention to this incident, Leo felt that the difficulty might not be lower than that of the Five Emperors. Zetton and Dimaga were already prepared, but he didn't know how strong Galactron was.

(This machine has been basically repaired. Excluding the abnormal status caused by the Sphia life form, the estimated output power is 87%.)

Assimilation with Sphia did indeed affect Galactron in some way, preventing her core from operating at full power, mainly because Galactron didn't understand what those erroneous data meant.

"That's not low either. This is your first battle on Earth. Good luck."

(Understood, I will annihilate all enemies for Leo!)

If Gilbaris has the power to control the entire virtual planet, then Galactron, which was developed specifically to limit it, wouldn't be much weaker, even if it's not as powerful.

However, the only thing that Leo didn't quite understand was that Galactron, being a machine, actually had a gender. After being registered by the Battle Gear as Leo's official battle monster, she could also transform into a human form, and she was quite beautiful.

This is probably because she became a half-biological being after being invaded and assimilated by Sphia. Galactron doesn't seem to mind at all, as her appearance doesn't affect her combat power, and Leo likes both of her appearances quite a bit.

If I had to point out any problems, Galactron, who is half-biological and half-mechanical... is also a kuudere (no emotion, no personality, no mental aversion).

Zetton, Ren, and now Galactron. Leo wondered if he had some special attraction to the emotionless. He couldn't figure it out.

Fortunately, Dimaga is different. That girl is very energetic, like a husky. If Zetton hadn't been watching her closely, she would have destroyed the house.

"This is Aoyama, the head of SKIP's Sendai branch, and Vice Captain Leo. The evacuation is basically complete."

"...How far is the nearest shelter from us?"

"It is 30 kilometers away from the outermost ring road of the city."

"Thirty kilometers, hopefully that's enough." Leo calculated that this enemy wouldn't have the terrifying firepower coverage of the Five Emperors from last time.

The main reason is that even if it's not enough, we can't evacuate any more. City-level evacuation orders have a very high priority, and there are very few situations where the entire city is evacuated. The shelters are designed just enough to meet the needs.

"Everyone, prepare for battle. Three minutes to go."

"Received. Victory Flying Swallow EXJ enters combat readiness mode. Victory Flying Swallow II begins charging."

With all preparations complete, unfortunately, the underlying logic of the Delta Space Station does not allow it to be aimed at any city, otherwise Leo would have had to bring the Texas Cannon over to aim at this place.

Leo's communications ESCG command room could also hear it. After finishing the treatment, Gento felt more comfortable than ever before, as if his whole body had become much lighter. Even Kai had a similar feeling. Their injuries, regardless of size, were basically healed.

Fujiwara Juri has also recovered. She tried moving her injured area and found that there was nothing wrong with it. It seems that as long as someone is not dead, the machine can save them. It's just that people like Daigo and Komon will need a little more time.

According to my dream, if the Max Power System can be completed and used as an energy supply system, these physiological repair instruments should be able to perform better.

"Daigo and Komon need more time to recover. Until then, we'll go support the front lines. ESCG, move out!"

"Yes!" I dream, Hong Kai and Fujiwara Juri saluted Captain Gento. Because this mission was highly dangerous and there were not enough people, Captain Gento was naturally going to be dispatched as well.

Meanwhile, the armory's maintenance crew finally repaired two Flying Swallow No. 1s and one Flying Swallow No. 2. It wasn't that their repair speed was too slow, but rather that there were too many things that needed repair, and the renovation progress of King Bridge also needed to be accelerated.

"It's finally finished. Sigh, but I heard that the entire S City was ordered to evacuate. The enemy must be very strong. I wonder if those guys can avoid crashing. It was such a hassle to repair it."

"It's not like they wanted the plane to crash. The plane doesn't matter, as long as the people come back alive."

"It would be best if they flew back together with the plane, so is the worst pilot in ESCG really their vice-captain?"

"Anyway, I don't think so. The only time that Vice Captain Leo crashed was in Australia. It was a monster that was five or six hundred meters tall. It must have been a miracle that he came back alive."

The armory had a pretty good opinion of Leo, after all, this vice-captain was very easy to manage, always considerate of the difficulties their repair team faced, and often brought them food.

The key point is that this deputy captain caused them very little trouble; they didn't need to repair the Flying Swallow 2 that crashed in Australia.

"I heard he was also King Joe's first choice for test driver?"

"Yes, the higher-ups approved it, and I think we can rest assured that this vice-captain will drive the King Joe."

"That's true, Vice Captain Leo is really reliable."

Everyone couldn't help but agree. Hebikura and Yehu, who had been busy for several days without sleep, could finally get some rest. They ate their meal while discussing where to go on their next vacation.

Then, that familiar, stomach-ache-inducing sound started.

"ESCG deployed! ESCG deployed! Ensure that takeoff lanes 2, 3, and 4 are clear."

These "living fathers" are still lying in their hospital beds, why are they being mobilized again?!

The maintenance crew was stunned. They had just finished repairing two fighter jets when these troublemakers showed up again. They could already foresee that their workload was about to increase.

"Holy crap, Captain Hebikura! Someone come here! Captain Hebikura has fainted! Grandpa Ye Hu, what happened to you? Holy crap, get some nitroglycerin pills right now!"

When Captain Xianren and the others arrived at the armory, they saw that the maintenance personnel seemed to be very busy for some reason, and they couldn't find out about Hebikura and Ye Hu. However, they didn't have much time to find out what was going on, so they immediately boarded the Flying Swallow fighter jet and prepared to take off.

"ESCG, Gento Hiruma, Kai Kurenai, sortie in the Hien II!"

"ESCG, Fujiwara Juri, launch Flying Swallow One!"

"ESCG, Takayama Gayu, Flying Swallow One, launch!"

It was exactly eight o'clock. Leo stood on the top of the building, holding Ren's hand, who had just arrived. Ren could tell him immediately if there was any movement underground.

Without the support of the shrine's ley lines, Ren's condition would become very unstable, so holding her hand like this was necessary. At least that's what Ren told Leo before, and Leo figured she had no reason to lie to him.

"Ren, how are you feeling?"

"It's alright, not too uncomfortable... The Light of Elements has set up the most seals among all the warriors of light. I can only monitor the eight most important ley lines at all times, but this one is not included."

According to Ren, the Ultraman of the so-called Elemental Light set up different seals, sealing some powerful enemies on one of the eight major ley lines of the earth.
