“Because you hadn’t awakened before.” Mefilas scratched his head. “Besides, there’s not much to say about that. By the time I met Asami, I was no longer one of the Four Heavenly Kings.”
Seeing that Mefilas seemed to have something to say but dared not speak, Leo looked at Emperor and asked, "Are you full?"
Mefilas's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this was not something to say; Leo's attitude would piss off Ampera.
However, Ampera's reaction was unexpected by Mefilas; she was neither angry nor annoyed, but simply shook her head.
"Not enough." After saying that, Empera opened her mouth, and Leo helplessly stuffed another piece of apple into her mouth and wiped her mouth for her.
Having eaten her fill, Empera returned to the Dark Cloth, giving Leo, Mefilas, and the others space to talk. Mefilas looked at her and thought, "No, is this the Empera I know?"
"Sister Meifei, just say what you want to say."
"..." Mefilas fell silent, thought for a moment, and said, "Leo, His Majesty the Emperor here seems to be in better condition than I thought, but the one over there is in a very bad state."
"You mean, the split personality is too complete, so the original body becomes unstable?"
Leo had considered this possibility, and now that Mefilas had nodded, he could be certain of his guess. This was not a part of Ampera at all; perhaps all rationality was contained within the Dark Veins.
"Has His Majesty the Emperor told you how she became the way she is today?"
“I know that Planet Empera was affected by the solar explosion and died. She was the only survivor, but she was haunted by the resentment of the dead and became the Dark Emperor.”
It seems that Empera truly trusts Leo, and it's not just a matter of them being close; Leo even knows about this.
"Actually, it's not that simple. How could there be just one lucky survivor when the sun explodes? It was the planet Emperor who protected His Majesty with its last light."
"Later, the anger and hatred of the other dead enveloped His Majesty, making him Emperor Ampera. However, a delicate balance was formed between that last light and the unwilling darkness, which allowed His Majesty, though a dark emperor, to listen attentively to the advice of his subject."
However, now, the last glimmer of rationality has been revealed. As the Dark Cloth comes to Leo's side, the balance of Empera's original body in the Dark Universe is broken, and what will happen is imaginable.
"You mean, something might be wrong in the Dark Universe?"
"It's certain that there will be one, the Dark Emperor Empera. The one beside you is Empera, and the one left over there will be a true Dark Emperor. Tsk... Sigh, I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
The thought that the Dark Universe might even descend into internal strife gave Mefilas a headache and a pang of heartache. Although she wasn't one of the Four Heavenly Kings, she had painstakingly built up her territory over many years, and she could be considered the biggest contributor to the Dark Universe's current state.
"Moreover, although the Dark Universe is a dark force, it is precisely because of His Majesty's existence that it is able to restrain some of its subordinates, which to some extent maintains the order of the universe. If this balance is broken, the universe will fall into chaos again."
"So, are we going to send the Dark Cloth back?" Renlong frowned, but Leo shook his head first. "No, the Ultimate Darkness is on Earth. If we send her back, not to mention her, Earth will definitely be in danger."
Indeed, the reason why Empera is easy to talk to now is ultimately because she is the rational part of Empera, the last remaining light of the planet Empera. But if she were to return to her original form, things would be hard to say.
"It cannot be returned. As time goes by, the Dark Emperor, who has lost his balance, will become a complete tyrant. The Emperor, who despises all light, may even choose to destroy that part of himself within the Dark Veins."
Mefilas knows the Alien Empera too well; her words are absolutely reliable. In fact, long ago, Empera's darkness was already showing signs of spiraling out of control.
Fifteen years ago, the Emperor's darkness spiraled out of control, attempting to extinguish all the light in his territory. Mefilas, who tried to remonstrate with him, was severely injured and, by chance, fell into this universe. Her younger brother inherited the position of one of the Four Dark Kings and became the representative of Mefilas's race.
The three discussed it for a while and finally concluded that they could not send the Dark Cloth back. Leo even had a premonition that he might really have to face this Dark Emperor in the future.
Putting Empera aside for the moment, Mefilas looked at Leo with some curiosity, "Speaking of which, Leo, what kind of monster did you awaken?"
“Zetton.” After Leo finished speaking, Miss Zetton emerged from the Ultimate Fighting Device. “Leo, you were looking for me?”
When Mefilas saw that Miss Jetton was actually a person, he was completely stunned. Leo shook his head and said, "No, let me introduce you to Mefilas."
"Oh." Zetton nodded indifferently, not intending to return to the fighting device, but simply sat down quietly next to Leo, as if deliberately showing his relationship with Leo.
"Your monster is a girl?" Mefilas felt a sense of crisis, a deep sense of crisis, because Zetton was very beautiful, and she originally thought that her only opponent was Renlong.
"Is there anything wrong with that? Characters like Dimaga, Magabasa, Galactron, and Eleking are all like that."
Leo knew it like the back of his hand. When he heard Leo call his name, Eleking emerged from the fighting device and, as always, wrapped its tail around Leo's feet to give him electrotherapy.
Dimaga and Magabasa went out to have some fun, and maybe find some wild Golza to bully. Oh, Magabasa prefers to bully Melba.
Galactron was writing a report for Leo in his room. Leo now felt that he really couldn't live without Galactron.
"All women?" Mefilas asked instinctively, then immediately realized another problem, "Wait, you have five monsters?"
"What's so strange about that?" Leo wondered. Isn't the Reionics just about controlling monsters? Does that mean other Reionics only need two or three monsters to handle the situation?
"This is strange, isn't it? I know that a Reionics can only have a maximum of three monsters at a time, but you can have five... You are indeed different from other Reionics. You seem to be in good spirits."
Leo is different from other Leonics, something Mefilas noticed when he was a child, but she didn't expect Leo to grow up so fast. Zetton's aura is even stronger than her own at his peak. No, I need to have a cup of tea to calm my nerves.
"Actually, there are more than 30 temporary workers for me. Some of them are super beasts that I just stole from the Yapool today. If you count the robots that Galactron made, there are probably 70 or 80 of them."
"Pfft!" Mefilas couldn't help but spit out his tea, but it was all blocked by Miss Jetton's automated barrier.
"Are you planning to rule the universe? Why are you creating so many monsters?" Mefilas wiped the tea leaves from the corner of his mouth, still feeling like he was dreaming.
Leo shook his head frankly, "No, this number is not enough to rule the universe, it's not even enough to protect the Earth."
Well, considering Leo's previous mention of the 600-meter-tall Five Emperors, the basic version of Super Taro, and the satellite-sized robot, Mefilas seems to make the same sense.
But wasn't this Earth teeming with Golza and Melba before, with only a few Gadi and Garula occasionally popping out? I've only been gone a short time, and the update is already happening way too fast!
As far as Mefilas knew, there was a limit to the number of monsters Reionics could control. One of the Imperial aliens she knew was Reionics, and the alien had said that Reionics could only control a maximum of three monsters because controlling monsters was extremely taxing on his body, and Reionics himself could only support the energy supply of a maximum of three monsters.
Many Reonics even consider raising only one monster, because this ensures training efficiency and doesn't place too much burden on themselves.
But what about Leo? This guy started at thirty without even breaking a sweat, showing no signs of fatigue whatsoever. This isn't Leo, he's practically Rei Brown's favorite son!
"As expected, my Leo is amazing." Mephisto gave Leo a thumbs up. After all, after stepping down from the Four Heavenly Kings, she was no longer the representative of her race, so she could not refer to herself as a Mephisto alien, but should use her real name.
"What do you mean 'your family'?" Renlong raised an eyebrow, while Meifeisi put her hands on her hips. "I watched her grow up, so she's mine."
"This guy has no shame at all," Renlong thought to himself. Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Pala emerged from the dark cloth and stared at Mefilas. "What, yours?"
"Um... I said I opened a jewelry store nearby, Your Majesty, how about you come stay at my place?" Mefilas was sweating profusely. It seemed that His Majesty the Emperor could hear everything.
This is actually because Leo and Emperor had several telekinetic collaborations recently, which has resulted in Emperor being able to sense the outside world even if he wants to.
"I need to recuperate in the dark-patterned cloth."
Empera definitely couldn't stray too far from the Darkweave. As for Mefilas's suggestion? Anyway, she didn't believe that guy could remove the Darkweave from Leo's side. That sword was sticking to Leo even more than Dimaga was to Leo right now.
"It's getting late. Leo has work tomorrow and can't stay up late. You should go home and get some rest."
Watching Ampera disappear back into the dark fabric, Mephisto was at a loss for words. Why did she feel like an outsider now? Did she no longer have a place in this house?
"Leo, you go and rest first. I'll talk to her for a while longer."
"Okay." After all, he has to go to work early tomorrow morning. According to the pattern Leo summarized, since today's battle was not difficult, then tomorrow there will definitely be at least one enemy that he will have to risk his life for.
So it was indeed necessary to get some rest. Mephiss didn't pester him, waving her hand as she watched Leo put Zetton and Eleking away and return to their room. Then she realized, "Your Majesty and Leo... are sleeping in the same room?"
Seeing Renlong shake his head, Mephis breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at the door that Leo had closed. In fact, after talking so much, they had all subconsciously avoided a person who was equally important to them, but neither of them wanted to remind the other of sad things.
In Leo's room, Galactron, having finished writing her report, did not return to the Battle Device. Instead, she prepared to go directly to the Mechanical Island. She had hidden the Mechanical Island on Jupiter, intending to create a large mechanical army for Leo, and had even designed high-firepower weapons specifically for Sphia.
Whether Leo wants to rule the universe or protect the Earth, Galactron will become his most indispensable force. She wants to use this method to ensure that Leo can never ignore her existence.
Lying in bed, Leo couldn't fall asleep for a while. The appearance of Mefilas made his heart, which had finally calmed down, somewhat unsettled. One day, he would have to deal with the matter of Empera himself.
"Bang, bang, bang," Leo subconsciously looked towards the window and found Dimaga leaning against it, watching. She was the one who had been knocking on the window.
With a thought, Leo opened the window automatically, and Dimaga crawled in, lying down beside Leo's bed with his chin on the bed as Leo rubbed his head. "Had enough fun?"
"I've brought back three Melba and two Golza for the boss." Dimaga handed the monster capsule to Leo while placing his own pillow next to him.
Seeing Leo's somewhat surprised expression, Dimaga scratched his head. "It was Big Sister who said that I can do anything except sit on the boss's lap to eat."
Oh right, the reward I promised her during the day... Zetton, inside the Fighting Machine, couldn't help but slap his head. Wait, is Dimaga really stupid or just pretending? Is she doing it on purpose?
Seeing that Eleking was also eager to try, Zetton decisively grabbed her shoulder, "You stay here obediently."
Dimaga is one thing, since he personally promised her, and besides, this girl is silly and wouldn't do anything outrageous. But Eleking is different; this guy is only after laying eggs!
Unable to defeat Miss Zetton, Eleking had no choice but to return to her own space in frustration. She picked up a book she had just found on Leo's bookshelf and began to read it, feeling that she could learn a lot from it.
For example, there are works such as "The Relationship Between Electricity and Magnetism", "The Application of Electricity", "The Uses of Magnetism", and "Sea Tiger".
"The rotation of the magnetic field is the fundamental force of the universe, an indispensable force in the universe..."
Seeing Eleking somewhere studying something, Miss Zetton clenched her fists. She needed to become stronger too.
Outside, Dimaga snuggled closer to Leo, "Boss, can we talk about something?"
"What?" Leo asked casually as he flipped through the TPC project proposal.
"If you have trouble putting your hands down, you can just hug me. Also, can you protect me when my older sister and the others beat me up tomorrow?"
Leo couldn't help but laugh. So this silly girl knew she was going to get beaten up? "Then you still want me to carry you?"
"Because it feels safe and comfortable to sleep in Boss's arms." Dimaga closed his eyes and leaned slightly against Leo. "Because I like Boss."
Sensing the emotions emanating from Zetton and King Elek, Leo pondered for a moment, then said, "Good luck tomorrow."
Dimaga closed his eyes, unable to hear anything, but he reached out and pulled Leo's hand to his waist. Hmm, this feels good.
Anyway, it's tomorrow's version of myself who gets beaten up, it has nothing to do with today's version of myself!
Chapter 99 Dark Mephistopheles? Give it to me!
Early in the morning, in the TPC training room, Leo and Komon each took their starting stances. Then Komon rushed towards Leo, first throwing a punch, followed by a hand chop, and then a forward kick, but Leo easily dodged them all. Komon caught the kick and threw it onto the soft mat.
"No good, Komon, your fighting techniques have too many flaws."
Leo clapped his hands and watched Komon get up from the cushion. Apart from Komon, everyone else from ESCG was sitting on the side. They had all fought with Leo earlier, but the ones who lasted the longest were Captain Gento and Kai, who were defeated after three minutes.
"It's because you're so amazing, Vice-Captain." Komon was grateful to Leo for showing mercy. "Has the Vice-Captain had any special training in combat?"
“I had a friend who was always bullied, so I dragged him to sign up for a combat training course together. We studied for a summer.”
Leo took the towel Daigo handed him and wiped his sweat. Thinking back, he realized that he had met Masaki Keigo around that time and had sparred with him quite a bit. Of course, Masaki Keigo had never beaten Leo, which was quite a blow to that guy.
"The vice-captain's physical abilities are even better than those of Instructor Fengyuan back in the day," Hong Kai couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh, Uncle Fengyuan, he taught me a lot when I was a kid." After temporarily retiring from TPC, Fengyuan worked as a police officer in Xingxiu Street for a while, which Leo knew. Later, he was rehired and is now an instructor in the Special Investigation Division. Hong Kai was trained by him.
“I dreamt he’d be back tonight.” Fujimiya handed Leo a bottle of water, and Leo took it, somewhat puzzled. “What’s the rush? It’s okay to let him stay one more night.”
"It was his parents' idea. They said that since their child had joined ESCG, he should work hard to protect the earth. They hoped to see their child grow up to be a person of integrity."
Captain Stringman added, and Leo nodded in agreement. Putting aside the propaganda over the years, in less than half a month, Earth has faced several major disasters, and even almost exploded.
Under such circumstances, people's thinking has also begun to change. More and more people realize that a major change is coming and the earth needs a stronger force. Apart from parents like mine who originally supported their children, many people also hope to join TPC or educate their children to aim for the defense of TPC.
However, there are some dim-witted people who still believe that monsters are messengers of gods and that humans should apologize and atone for provoking them. Leo thinks that the existence of these creatures is to provide research evidence for human diversity.
The most shameless of all are the Kirieloids. They settled down in the Americas, started a religion, and even shamelessly claimed that the Maga Balrog, which Leo transformed into, was the messenger of their Kirieloid god, thus attracting many believers. As a result, they were arrested multiple times for illegal gatherings.
Leo figured he'd have to find an opportunity later to use Maga Flame Demon to write a sign and publicly curse these shameless bastards.
There's not much to do today. Although the fighter jet is repaired, the patrol missions are handled by the Victory Team. Leo plans to take some time to investigate the mole within ESCG. Yuzare mentioned the day before yesterday that dark forces had infiltrated their TPC, and the investigation has been handed over to Leo.
This morning, when Leo woke up, he remembered this matter only after reading the plan given to him by Galactron. However, when Dimaga woke up, he dragged Magabasa out to play without even eating breakfast.
There was no other way; if she didn't run fast, Xiao Di felt she might lose her life. When Leo and Dimaga woke up, Zetton, Ereshkigal, and Renlong were quietly watching her from the bedside. Renlong was alright, but the gazes of Zetton and Ereshkigal were terrifying.
However, one can dodge the first day of the month but not the fifteenth; sooner or later, Dimaga will still have to train his resistance to electricity and his ability to withstand blows.
What Leo didn't know was that the dark power Yuzare was talking about was himself. In fact, Yuzare was secretly observing him, eager to know what kind of evil purpose Leo had infiltrated among so many Ultramen.
It's a pity that if I'm too far away from the time machine, I can't even talk to others. Otherwise, I could just tell these people to be careful. Sigh, Daigo is here too.
Last time they were all together, it was too bright to see anything, but this time, thanks to Leo's dark and pitiful light, I could barely see that Daigo was also there.
Leo was wondering where to begin his investigation when he caught sight of Goroki standing at the training room door. This was unusual, as Goroki's Special Investigation Division was not located at TPC headquarters, but rather at the Night Raid Team's secret base hidden inside the dam.
"Vice Captain Leo, are you guys training?"
"Hmm, did Team Leader Gou Lumu need something from me?" Leo wiped his sweat and stepped forward, then suddenly sensed something was wrong. Gou Lumu also suddenly sensed something. The two looked at each other, both somewhat confused, and their thoughts were surprisingly the same.
Hey bro, what's with this dark aura coming from you?
Yu Lian, who was secretly observing, was also stunned. She did not expect that Leo had an accomplice. No, judging from the strength of the dark aura, could this guy named Goroki be one of Leo's subordinates?
"Um... there are some things about yesterday that I need to double-check with you. Do you have a moment?"
“It’s fine now.” Leo nodded, greeted Gento and the others, and then left with Goroki.
It's really strange. Leo clearly remembers that he had contact with Goroki when they were on a mission together yesterday. Where did Goroki get this dark aura back then? What happened to this guy after only one day?
Gou Lümu had the same thought. As soon as he entered, he felt a strong, blinding light in the training room, but before he could pay attention to anyone else, he saw Leo first.
There was no way around it; just like a black dot on a white sheet of paper always attracts attention, it was hard for Lu Mu not to look at Leo when he stood there. He didn't expect that the dark aura on Leo's body was so strong, even stronger than Dark Mephistopheles. Little did he know that Leo had actually been very restrained.
The two walked side by side down the corridor. There were quite a few people coming and going, and neither Gou Lumu nor Leo felt comfortable speaking up, but everyone greeted them warmly.
"Good morning, Vice Captain Leo. It's Mr. Gou Lumu and his friends. You've arrived too."
