The Dimensional Tavern of the Mefilas Alien

In just two years, its body swelled up like an inflating balloon.

Originally, it would have continued this cycle of eating and sleeping for a while longer.

But Jamila's roar, intended to intimidate ordinary people, startled it.

Nelongga, who considered this area his own territory, woke up angrily with a bad temper.

It immediately came to the ground, ready to kill the inconsiderate Jamila.

It lowered its head, its two horns curving upwards, pointing their tips at Jamila. Then, lowering its center of gravity, it charged towards Jamila like a heavy tank.

Jamila panicked. Before he mutated into a monster, he was an astronaut and had never been in a fight. Now, seeing the Neronga pig suddenly appear, he was flustered and confused.

"Bang!"

Nelongga's 40,000-ton weight slammed into Jamila's less than 20,000-ton body, sending him flying on the spot.

"Huh? It doesn't hurt!"

Jamila initially thought she was in serious trouble. But after getting up, she found that she was actually not badly hurt.

"Thank you, store manager!"

He couldn't help but praise Murphy: This must be Murphy's doing the work of transforming him.

This time, Jamila, now brimming with confidence, took the initiative to attack Nelongga.

Realizing that his impact had not had the desired effect, Nelonga rotated the two electric horns on the top of his head until they intersected with the horns on his nose.

Triangles intersect! Sparks fly!

A violent blue electric beam struck Jamila.

However, this seemingly inevitable strike only left Jamila's clothes slightly dirty.

The Jamila, mutated on a waterless planet, is extremely afraid of water, but has a high resistance to fire and high heat.

After being modified by Murphy, the former weakness was greatly mitigated, and the latter strength was also greatly enhanced.

Dry, dead skin becomes a natural insulating layer. Furthermore, the flames and intense heat caused by a lightning strike are directly resisted by the epidermis.

Jamila seized the opportunity to open her mouth and instinctively spew out scorching flames.

The hydrogen and oxygen sacs inside his body activated, igniting a raging fire.

The temperature of one million degrees Celsius engulfed Nelongga almost instantly. The surrounding vegetation was ignited on the spot and turned to ashes in an instant.

Even though Nelongga's skin contains special glass fiber components that give it extremely high resistance to flames, it was starting to feel the effects of being burned like this. Soon, people nearby could faintly smell the aroma of roasting meat.

"Ah~"

When Jamila ran out of breath and stopped firing the flames, Nelonga cried out in pain.

Thanks to the monster's incredible vitality, it barely survived, but its entire body was severely burned. Its once tough skin was now soft and limp, and its whole body was charred black.

Nelonga knew it had to run away immediately. Otherwise, it would really die here.

It activated its power, and lightning crackled around it. Soon, its entire form gradually became blurred.

Through the movement of ions between electrical ions, Nelonga can make himself transparent.

In its transparent state, it can attack or defend at will, allowing the entire beast to move freely.

However, this time its plan backfired.

Even after it becomes transparent, people can still see a layer of charred skin moving around there.

Jamila decisively grabbed Nelonga's charred skin, then jumped into the air and used gravity to perform a dramatic slam. Then, Jamila swung her arms and delivered several thunderous slaps to it.

This time, Nelongga couldn't even maintain his transparency. Blood gushed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose; it was clear he was going to die.

Chapter 139 Exploded with NASA

Seeing that Nelonga was about to die, Jamila became anxious. He immediately grabbed Nelonga and then summoned the gates of the tavern.

With a single step, Jamila, taking advantage of the heat, led Nelonga into the bar.

"Ah?"

Murphy, who was preparing for the opening of his business, never expected him to return.

"Hey, isn't this Nelonga?" Murphy, with his extensive knowledge, recognized the Nelonga variety at a glance.

"Manager, these are local specialties I brought back for you from Earth!"

Murphy suddenly realized: No wonder Jamila suddenly returned with a monster.

"You've got a good heart!" Murphy held up a finger and killed Nelonga instantly. Then he threw him into the freezer in the kitchen.

This thing is beyond saving. Rather than letting it slowly die there, it's better to let it go.

It's a bit of a shame that this thing's meat isn't actually that tasty. In comparison, it might actually be more suitable for being modified into something like a monster girl transformation device.

"How was it? Did you see your family?"

Having just received a generous gift, Murphy decided to check on his subordinates' living conditions.

Jamila shook her head. She then told Murphy about her conflicted feelings after returning to Earth.

"If you really hate them but don't want to resort to force, why not try to expose everything in a public place? Even if your country is one pole in the world, there is another pole. I believe they wouldn't mind giving you a little help at this time."

Jamila fell silent.

He actually hated those incompetent officials who held positions of power without any regard for human life. But that was, after all, his homeland. Besides, if he cooperated with other countries, wouldn't he become a traitor? Those guys would definitely take the opportunity to smear him and whitewash themselves.

"You just overthink things!"

Murphy shrugged.

As long as Jamila doesn't intend to retaliate indiscriminately, he is practically invincible on Earth right now. Apart from the original, no one can stop him from doing anything.

"If all else fails, gather all the information, transform into a monster, and stand in front of the Presidential Palace reciting it! Do you think they'd dare attack you?"

Those bastards who abandoned Jamila might be capable of such a thing, but their political enemies, and bystanders, will certainly stop him.

"The only problem is that you might not be able to live a peaceful life on Earth anymore. And your family too." Murphy patted Jamila on the shoulder. "But don't worry, the bar will always be your home! At worst, I'll help you move to another world!"

Murphy has always been very generous to his employees.

"Thank you, manager. I need to go back to Earth and think it over some more!"

Murphy opened Jamila's mind. Although he was still hesitant, he was no longer completely clueless.

……

After returning to Earth, Jamila relayed Murphy's advice to Hayata.

"...That guy who loves to watch the drama unfold." Hayata Susumu was speechless.

However, he did not object to Jamila taking action against those guys.

It's better to ruin a bunch of bastards and make them suffer the punishment they deserve than to force an innocent person to get their hands dirty with blood.

Moreover, even if they were punished, it would be far less than the suffering Jamila endured.

He even fantasized that after Jamila had settled her scores with her enemies, she could fight for Earth just like him.

Murphy's scientific abilities are renowned throughout the universe. Jamila, modified by him, will undoubtedly be quite powerful. His presence is like an extra layer of insurance for Earth.

With even Ultraman supporting her, Jamila's confidence grew even stronger.

He finally mustered the courage to go home.

He thought he had been missing for many years and had even mutated into a monster. His family might find it difficult to accept him again.

However, his family members only showed him boundless tolerance.

With the support of her family, Jamila finally made up her mind and went after NASA.

Yes, he is actually a French-American.

For a period of time afterward, the accusations made by an astronaut who had mutated into a monster in front of the White House dominated headlines around the world.

It's not that there weren't some fools who wanted to take revenge on Jamila by controlling his family. But in this day and age, there are plenty of smart people on both sides. Such idiotic ideas were killed in the womb.

This time, the authorities demonstrated unparalleled efficiency. They quickly released the original files, punished those responsible, and offered Jamila a heartfelt apology.

Not only that, they actively tried to repair their relationship with him, even going so far as to offer him high-ranking positions and generous salaries.

True elites aren't fools either.

Everyone can see that Earth's future is becoming increasingly insecure. No matter how much power and wealth you possess, in the eyes of invading aliens and rampaging monsters, everyone is treated equally.

But Jamila's appearance brought a turning point.

They believed that bad things could perhaps turn into good things. If they could win Jamila back and get him to serve the country, they could defeat their old rivals once again.

Jamila refused.

He was willing to help when the earth faced a crisis. This was his conscience as a human being. But he was unwilling to let the power he had gained through suffering become a bargaining chip for officials to fight for power and profit.

“I have already sworn allegiance to the Mefilas aliens. And that person is a powerful figure whom even the Emperor of the Universe was willing to offer as the position of Vice-Emperor of the Empire.”

Jamila learned from Homura Akemi and also used Murphy as a figurehead.

Although they weren't entirely clear on the factional situation in the universe, they figured it was better to be safe than sorry. Besides, Jamila had stated he would help humanity if attacked. So, they had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.

……

Jamila's story has come to an end. But the stories of many other guests are just beginning.

For example, the three cockroach bullies who just came to apply for the job.

After receiving their first day's wages from Murphy, the three of them headed straight for the Amitabha House.

"Hey, Koganei-san!"

The cockroach bully banged on the door of Amida's house, waking up Koganei Taro who had already fallen asleep.

Taro Koganei, who runs the antique shop Amida-ya, is a renowned antique appraiser who frequently appears on television and thus holds considerable authority in the industry. However, in reality, he is a thoroughly cunning and unscrupulous businessman. Passing off inferior goods as superior ones and swindling collectors at low prices are merely his basic tactics.

"Hey you guys, do you even know any manners? Who comes to visit so late?"

Koganei Taro, wearing loose pajamas, turned red.

"We have important business to discuss with you!"

The cockroach bully, having just made some money, was very patient.

"Important business?" Koganei Taro, who was initially quite angry, suddenly became alert.

What important business could these three idiots and penniless bastards possibly have coming to me for?

Could it be that they found the Peace Star?

……

I rewatched the episode "My Hometown is Earth" and discovered details I had forgotten before.

Jamila hates the American flag, and her tombstone is inscribed in French. Based on this, she's most likely a French-American. That makes a small plot hole in the beginning, but it's hard to fix now. Let's just assume that Homura Akemi's world's "Labored Beauty" isn't actually called "Labored Beauty."

Chapter 140 The Disappearance of the Cockroach Bully

The thought that they might have discovered the Peace Star immediately changed Taro Koganei's demeanor.

"Oh dear, Cobra-chan!"

Koganei Taro rubbed his hands together impatiently and asked, "Have you discovered the Peace Star?"

"No!" the cockroach bully denied outright.

"How did you know?" Spider Detective asked instinctively.

"Aha!" Koganei Taro laughed meaningfully.

"Idiot!" The cockroach bully angrily pulled out his folding fan and smacked the spider detective on the head. "Didn't I tell you not to tell anyone about this yet?"

"Hahaha!" Scorpion Lai Lai gloated, secretly relieved. He had almost asked the same question back. Luckily, Spider Detective spoke quickly, or he would have been the one getting slapped.

Spider Detective clutched his head and groaned, "Sorry, bro!"

"Where's the Peace Star?" Koganei Taro asked anxiously. "Let me see!"

He's already started daydreaming.

Should I wish to become the world's richest person? Or do I want lots of beautiful women? Or maybe I should just ask for ten thousand antiques!

Although Koganei Taro is a cunning businessman who does many unethical things, he doesn't have much ambition. His biggest fantasy is simply to become richer.
