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

Chapter 97 Mefilas is back!

As night deepened, at the intersection of Xingxiu Street, a black-haired girl in a black dress appeared under the streetlights carrying a large bag of luggage. She took out a photo she had taken before leaving and clenched her fist.

"Finally back. Sigh, I wonder how Leo has been doing these past few days."

The facts on Earth prove that the Yapool's Super Beasts are indeed quite powerful, but Miss Zetton is clearly even more powerful. Nexus closed the gate with a Meta Field, and Miss Zetton directly overwhelmed the remaining Super Beasts without even getting hurt.

Sitting at the stone table in the shrine courtyard, Leo checked the extra Super Beasts in his Fighting Device and couldn't help but exclaim, "They run really fast."

Emperor was speechless. How embarrassing! These were his own Four Heavenly Kings, yet they abandoned their own Super Beasts and ran away.

“I remember Yapool was one of your Four Heavenly Kings?” Leo took out the Dark Cloth. “I thought you would have me negotiate with him and bring you back.”

"..." Ampera fell silent. In fact, she had indeed had such a thought just now, but she quickly dismissed it. "You wouldn't let me leave now, would you?"

Finally, the truth was out. Leo didn't deny it and nodded. "This Earth has the ultimate darkness you seek. If I let you go back, I wouldn't dare gamble all of humanity on whether you would keep your promise."

Leo dared not gamble until he had grown strong enough to stand up to Emperor Empera, the Dark Emperor. Even though Emperor Empera had been behaving peacefully these past few days, the title of Dark Emperor was not just for show.

"But I will keep my promise. Once I have grown strong enough and repaired the Darkweave, I will personally send you back to the Dark Universe."

Leo wouldn't lie to Empera about this. If things really got to the point of no return, he would have Galactron or Zetton take Empera back.

"Suit yourself, I have plenty of time to wait." Ampira wasn't in a hurry, or rather, she was well aware of her situation. In fact, she herself was quite confused and didn't know what to choose.

Empera's confidence and arrogance stem from her immense power. Power is her reliance, but also her only support. Without power, Empera has no one she truly trusts, not even the strategist Mefilas standing before her.

If Leo were to actually hand over the Darkweave Cloth to Yapool and let him take it, then Empera would object, because she couldn't say whether Yapool would rebel and join Antiruyne's camp after learning about her condition.

If Antiruth knew his condition, Emperor was certain that the guy would try every means to destroy the Darkweave, preventing him from ever returning to his prime, and unleash the evil Bogaru to fight him to the death, even if it meant mutual destruction.

In comparison, staying by Leo's side is the safest and most secure option right now. She has already seen Leo's character, and he is much more reliable than those ambitious guys.

"You know what would happen if your men invaded Earth."

Just like the Yapool this time, although there were no casualties, the damage to the city was still there. Leo naturally accepted his super beast without hesitation. Later, when Emperor's subordinates came, Leo would not hold back for her sake.

"If they die at your hands, it's their own incompetence, and I won't say anything."

“Really?” Leo asked back, and Empera fell silent again.

Leo awaited a reply from the Dark Emperor. After hesitating for a moment, Emperor Abela changed his mind.

“Mefilas, Grozam, Desrem, and one of the two generals, Gilgior, are very loyal to me. If they come, you should just show up with the Darkweave Cloth.”

"Really?" Leo was surprised that Empera would make such a decision. It was quite unusual for her, as she felt insecure without power.

"Just say that you are my person, and that Earth is the territory I granted to you, and they will not make a move."

As Empera spoke, she heard the sound of a cola can being opened outside, so she crawled out of the dark fabric again, casually sat on Leo's lap, and opened her mouth to wait to be fed. She was no longer acting like the Dark Emperor. Even Dimaga wouldn't act like that.

"Could you try a different position next time?" Leo still remembered the three pairs of chopsticks that had just perished at home today.

"I am the emperor, I can do whatever I want, besides, isn't this position more comfortable for you?"

Ampera has never been very knowledgeable about these kinds of things. She dared to do this even when Renlong and Jeton were watching, let alone now that there's no one else around. Besides, is there anything she wouldn't dare to do?

"What a capricious emperor! Aren't you a tyrant?"

“How could I be a tyrant? Back then, the first Mefilas advised me that some civilizations did indeed need light, and I even allowed the sun to exist under my rule.”

Despite his aversion to light, Emperor Empera possessed the pride and magnanimity befitting an emperor. Since some civilizations under his rule genuinely needed the sun, he decided to leave it to them and simply not go there himself.

“However, from your perspective, I have indeed done many things that you wouldn’t consider good.” Ampera sipped his cola, suddenly feeling annoyed.

"For example, going to war with the Land of Light?" Leo had investigated Emperor's affairs and naturally knew about this. Emperor was somewhat surprised, "Your reaction is much calmer than I expected."

Leo likes Ultraman, so he must also have a good impression of the Land of Light. Emperor thought his reaction would be more... well, it wouldn't be this indifferent.

"I already knew. I can only say you're really daring. Looking at you right now, I would never guess you're the kind of person who would do something like this."

"Do you think this matter has little to do with me now?"

After Ampera finished speaking, Leo turned to look at her, and the two stared at each other before letting out a simultaneous sneer.

"So you know you did something bad back then?" Leo didn't quite understand why Apella suddenly asked him this question, but he just casually opened another can of Coke for her.

"If a sinner loses his memory, can his sins be absolved? Don't be ridiculous. Everything a person has done, whether good or bad, is a real event."

As if remembering something, Leo told Empera a story.

“I used to have a classmate who was a superhuman. He was born with the ability to communicate with others telepathically, to sense their inner thoughts and to foresee parts of the future. For humans, this is an amazing ability.”

"That's quite impressive even by the standards of the entire universe." Emperor affirmed Leo's abilities. Telepathic communication is not uncommon, but the ability to read minds and foresee the future is something that very few races in the entire universe possess.

“Is he impressive?” Leo shook his head. “But the first time I met him, he was being bullied by other students. They threw his backpack into the river, pushed him to the side of the road, and deliberately hid his glasses.”

Even now, Leo still remembers everything that happened that day. It was the afternoon of the holiday, and he was walking home on that secluded road as usual when he happened to witness it all.

"Doesn't he resist?" Ampera frowned.

“His physical abilities are no different from those of an average person. He just gets good grades, but he can’t beat others and doesn’t dare to tell the teacher about it.”

As for why those students knew about his abilities, Leo guessed it was simply because they wanted to fit in and make more friends; that was his thought before.

"You know what? That day was the day our final exams ended. All the people who bullied him were begging him to help them cheat before the exams, but he just refused."

"That was the first time in my life I fought for someone else. Those people who bullied him were no match for me."

Leo beat the bullying students to a pulp, helped them find their backpacks and glasses, and took them to Obik's buckwheat noodle stall for a meal. From then on, they became good friends.

"Later I found my teacher and told him what these people had done. Of course, I didn't mention his superpowers, because my teacher wouldn't believe me anyway."

"Later, the students who bullied others were asked by the teacher to apologize, but they said nothing and did nothing except say 'I'm sorry,' as if this 'I'm sorry' could cover up all their mistakes and crimes."

Accountability? Of course not. Leo didn't want to cause trouble for Mr. Yagami because of his own affairs, and the school didn't want the matter to escalate and cause problems. Most importantly, Leo wasn't human, and his friend, Makio Kirino, was indeed a superpowered person.

"So you're just going to let them go like that?" Empera didn't think Leo was that kind of person.

"How could that be? Later, Kirino and I found an opportunity to beat them up one by one, and then apologized to them again."

It wasn't a very interesting story, but Empera understood what Leo meant. "I am Empera, the Dark Emperor. I'm not so ashamed as to deny what I've done."

What's the point of denying what you've done and the mistakes you've made? Does a dark emperor really not even dare to lose face and admit the bad things he's done?

But thinking of this, Ampera's eyes lowered involuntarily. "It's just that sometimes I can't help but think about it..."

"Ok?"

"If I had met you sooner, perhaps many things would have been different."

Leo subconsciously recalled the scene of the destruction of Planet Empera that he had seen in Empera's memories not long ago. He understood Empera's aversion to light, but understanding did not mean agreeing.

Ampera has made many mistakes. Even if resentment affected her thinking, it was still a crime she committed. Just because she helped me now, should I turn around and defend her or even make excuses for these mistakes?

"Maybe." Leo subconsciously took a sip of cola, then was angrily slapped on the shoulder by Emperor. "That's mine."

"I bought this, okay? Besides, you haven't even drunk this can yet."

Leo rolled his eyes. This Dark Emperor really had no self-awareness, treating this place like his own home.

Standing at the entrance of the shrine, Ren watched Leo and Empera bickering and found it quite amusing, because in her opinion, Empera, who was known as the Dark Emperor, was actually radiating a faint glow.

Leo, the vice-captain of ESCG, is dark and profound. However, with the Dragon Ball inside him, he can feel warmth. Leo is a darkness that can embrace light as well, just like the universe.

If that's the case, Leo could indeed guide Empera back to the right path and make her pay for all the mistakes she made in the past. Perhaps this is also the reason why that being deliberately threw the Dark Cloth next to Leo.

After all, if Emperor were eliminated, the Dark Universe would descend into chaos without the Emperor, and who knows what kind of trouble the many aliens who were originally under her control would cause.

Leo and Empera were chatting casually, with Leo casually asking Empera for advice on using telekinesis, when he suddenly heard a familiar and long-lost voice.

"Leo! I miss you so much!!"

Standing at the entrance of the shrine with her suitcase, Mefilas, who had just returned, waved joyfully to Leo. Having not seen him for so long, she wished she could hug and kiss him like she did when they were children.

Then she stopped laughing because she saw what looked like someone sitting on Leo's lap. Although the angle of the camera obscured their face, it looked like a girl!

This is definitely not that emotionless guy; there's no way his relationship with Leo could have progressed this quickly.

Enraged that someone would dare to steal the person she had raised since childhood, Mefilas rushed forward, ready to confront the other party.

Then, he saw a very familiar face peek out from beside Leo. Upon seeing this face, Mefilas slammed on the brakes and slid to his knees in front of Leo, sweating profusely as he looked at Emperor, his voice trembling.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, what are you doing here?"

“Mephis, I see. So the Mephis alien that Leo has been talking about is you.”

Upon seeing Mefilas, Emperor Abela finally realized that Leo and Mefilas had known each other for a long time.

"Wait a minute, do you two know each other?" Leo was a little slower to react in this regard, but he understood what was going on.

“Of course, I’ve told you about her, she was the former strategist of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings under my command.” Emperor pointed at Mefilas.

Leo never imagined such a coincidence. No wonder Mefilas would sometimes have that knowing look on his face.

"Sister Meifei, please get up quickly, this posture is too strange."

"No, my legs are too weak."

Mefilas's lips twitched involuntarily. Looking at Leo, whom she had raised since childhood, sitting together with the emperor she had once served, she felt very uncomfortable. Could someone tell her what was going on?

Meanwhile, in a room in the city, Gou Lumu, who had just returned home, was about to turn on the light when he turned around, drew his gun, and pointed it at the sofa, looking nervous. "Who's there?"

Anyone who can sneak into your home silently is no ordinary human being; in this situation, it wouldn't be a problem to open fire directly.

Clearly pleased that Goroki had discovered him, the dark figure sitting on the sofa clapped applause. "You don't need to struggle. There's no connection to the outside world from here, because this is your inner world, and I... am the darkness within you."

Moonlight streamed through the window into the room, and Goroki saw the other person's appearance clearly: a dark Ultraman with red, black, and silver colors intertwined.

"Who are you?" Gou Lümu's hands trembled slightly.

The dark giant stood up, walked up to Gou Lümu, and stared at him. A sense of familiarity made him unable to fire.

“I am you, you are me, and we are… Dark Mephisto.”

Chapter 98, Earth's version update is too fast.

Had she really only been gone for less than a year? This question filled Mefilas's mind. Although Leo had briefly explained what had happened during that time, her reaction was...

What? Leo has awakened his racial abilities? What? You're saying there are seven Ultramen on Earth now? What? Not only have you awakened your racial abilities, but Earth has almost been destroyed several times in the past two weeks?

"So, you found the Darkweave Cloth by chance, and a part of His Majesty's consciousness just happened to be inside it?"

“That’s how it is.” Empera nodded for Leo and pointed to the fruit plate. Leo knew exactly what to do and picked up a banana to peel for Empera. He realized that this family was either rich or poor or full of foodies.

“I’ve only been gone for a few months, is this still Earth?” Mefilas felt like he was dreaming. “Most importantly, Leo, how could you possibly have found the Darkweave Cloth?”

"Why is it impossible?" Leo was quite curious as to why Mefilas would say that.

Watching Leo feed Empera, Mefilas couldn't help but facepalm. "His Majesty the Emperor's battle with Juda took place in the Dark Universe, which is countless light-years away from our Earth. Not to mention the difference between two different universes."

"Although the dimensional barrier in the middle has a huge hole due to the battle between His Majesty and Juda, which has caused the two universes to merge, ... unless someone deliberately sends the Darkweave Cloth over, it would take hundreds or thousands of years to fly there."

The Dark Cloth itself does not possess the power to travel through time and space, and it is even more impossible for it to appear near Earth by pure coincidence. If Mefilas hadn't told Leo, he really wouldn't have known any of this.

"So, someone deliberately sent the Dark Pattern Cloth to me?"

"It must be, but we have no idea who the other party is or what their purpose is."

Mefilas glanced at Renlong subconsciously, feeling that this guy might know something. She had known Renlong for over ten years, and there were many things he had never told her.

"So, why are you and His Majesty like this... well, so..." Mefilas really didn't know how to describe the current relationship between the two of them.

On one side is Leo, whom I watched grow up, and on the other side is His Majesty, whom I have served for many years. How did these two people end up together?

“Mephisto, you used to speak much more fluently than you do now. You’ve always been very eloquent.” Ampera said, glancing at Mephisto as she ate her banana.

(How can I possibly find the right words to describe this scene?!)

“You two are too close.” Renlong walked to Leo’s side, pointed to herself, and Leo had no choice but to pick up another piece of apple and put it to her lips. It was obvious to everyone that he was actually closer to Renlong.

"Is this considered closeness?" Ampera pulled Leo's hand back and adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable. "It's just because he's the only one who can reach me. It's simply for convenience."

Do you think I'd believe that? Mefilas wanted to say that, but she didn't dare. She knew the personality of the Alien Empera all too well. How could this emperor be so close to Leo? Was it because of the affability that Leo possessed after his awakening?

Mefilas hadn't felt it much before, but now, just standing next to Leo, she felt an urge to cling to him, and there was even a faint voice in her heart telling her that she should swear allegiance to Leo.

"I really didn't expect that you, Sister Meifei, were actually the strategist of the former Dark Four Heavenly Kings. You never told me."
