Bighorn Bull is in charge of leading, and I, Beria, am in charge of raising it.

Jian collapsed onto the ground, unable to contain his complaints.

"Hey, is Wang reliable or not? How many times have we teleported like this?"

"This is the 124th time, Uncle Jian. Apart from finding a fragment of the training armor that Dad used to wear near the exit of the last teleportation portal, we haven't found a single clue. We have no idea where Wang has lost Dad!"

Upon hearing this, Lem, who had been on edge, ready to deal with any unexpected situation, deflated like a punctured balloon and responded listlessly.

Of course, there's one more thing that both of them know in their hearts, but neither of them is willing to admit...

That is, Belial, who was seriously injured, most likely died completely shortly after entering the spacetime turbulence.

This is why, no matter how hard they searched, they could never find Belial.

Thinking of this, Lem felt a sense of suffocation and couldn't help but raise his hand to touch the energy cube hanging on his body.

Those azure energy cubes were Belial's trump card, given to Lyme by himself before he left Lyme to return to the battlefield, as a means of self-defense.

It was also the only memory left to her after Belial fell into the spacetime rift and his fate was unknown.

Now, Lyme has strung the energy cubes she retrieved into several chains. They hang from her shoulders to her waist, making a crisp clinking sound as she crouches down to pick up the debris.

Although Lyme knew very well that if the enemy discovered the purpose of these energy cubes, or if they were accidentally triggered during battle, she would only needlessly blow herself up.

But only by doing this could Lyme feel that her father was still by her side. This allowed her to deceive herself, encouraging herself to believe that Belial was still alive and to continue her search.

After a brief silence, to prevent himself from continuing to overthink, Rem simply squatted down, picked up a piece of mechanical Ultra Brother's remains, and examined it in his palm to distract himself.

"Hmm...hmm? This...this is...!"

But soon, Lem's eyes narrowed, his frustration vanished, and he shouted excitedly, waving repeatedly at Jian.

"Uncle Jian! Come quick! There are residual energy fluctuations from Dad's Descium Ray at the gaps in these robots! And there's also residual heat! That means..."

"Dad is really alive! And he's been here! It's even possible that he's on this planet right now!"

"What? Really?!"

Upon hearing these words, Ken, who had been looking dejected, suddenly sprang up from the ground and, like a supercar traveling at full speed, crashed into the wreckage of the mechanical Ultra Brothers scattered all over the ground.

He then randomly selected a few to hold in his hand, carefully sensing them to confirm that what Lem said was true. Ken also breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed maniacally.

"Hahahaha! That's right, that's right! It's him! It's my brother! Belial is alive, still alive! Hahahaha!!!!"

"We can't delay any longer, Uncle Jian! Now that we've confirmed that Father is on this planet, we need to find him as soon as possible! Father is so badly injured and has been through a battle here. If he doesn't receive timely treatment, he'll be in great danger!"

Seeing Jian dancing with joy, Lem also wanted to cheer and celebrate.

But the thought of Belial's mangled body at their parting made Rem's heart sink. He carefully kept the piece of the mechanical Ultra Brother's remains with him as a clue in his search for Belial. He then stood up and suggested to Ken that...

"Wait, what's that?"

But as soon as Lem finished speaking, the two of them clearly felt the ground beneath their feet begin to shake violently.

From the mountain not far away, a blinding white light shot into the sky and rapidly expanded outwards, clearly indicating that it was coming with ill intent!

"What! What happened! Could it be Belial...!"

Under normal circumstances, the two people who witnessed this scene would have immediately retreated and avoided the confrontation.

However, the two who had just learned that Belial had once been active on this planet naturally assumed that Belial was still on this planet due to his serious injuries.

So the two, who had finally gained a glimmer of hope and were about to witness Belial's "tragic death" before their eyes, suddenly became anxious.

Instead of fleeing, he pushed his energy to its limit and charged towards the pillar of light! He attempted to force his way in and find Belial!

The good news is that this peculiar beam of light, although containing enormous energy, poses no danger whatsoever.

The bad news is that the moment they came into contact with it, Ken and Lem could clearly feel their presence being forcibly expelled from this space!

This means that after finally finding a clue, they will once again miss Belial!

Even with their best efforts, they could only temporarily slow down the speed of their disappearance, but they could not change this strange state. Just as they were about to disappear and be forcibly sent back to their original time and space, the two of them instinctively cried out with resentment.

"No! Belial—!!!"

"dad--!!!"

Little did they know, the instant their figures disappeared...

Led by Zero, Belial had already evacuated this special space before it was completely engulfed by the rapidly collapsing space. He arrived in the main universe along with the Colossus, Zero, and Darklops Zero from the main universe.

Just as they exchanged a brief greeting with the Panlong and were about to go their separate ways, Belial suddenly stopped and glanced strangely at the rapidly shrinking spacetime rift.

Hmm, is it just my imagination...?

It sounds like I heard Ken and Rem's voices coming from there...?

...Hmm, I must have missed them so much that I misheard.

This is a parallel universe, how could they possibly have tracked them here?

"What's wrong, sir? Have you discovered something?"

"...No, I must have misheard."

Therefore, when faced with Zero's curious question, Belial briefly considered it and decided against the dangerous idea of ​​re-entering the spacetime rift to confirm whether he was hallucinating.

He shook his head and followed Zero, who was leading the way, flying towards the Land of Light.

"Let's go back to the Land of Light."

----------------

Because the Land of Light in the current timeline has already activated ultra-long-distance wormhole teleportation technology, Belial's anticipated journey, which might take a month or two, was completed in less than five minutes with the help of the wormhole opened by Zero. The three of them arrived at the Land of Light, located at the edge of the universe, from the vast depths of space.

Belial hovered outside the atmosphere of the Land of Light, looking down at the Emerald Star beneath his feet.

The plasma spark tower still shone brightly, seemingly unchanged from his memory.

But he could clearly see that, apart from the Plasma Spark Tower remaining unchanged, the urban layout of the Land of Light had undergone significant changes...

Several crystal domed buildings, unlike anything he had ever seen before, rose from the ground around the original square.

Several new suspended corridors meander between different urban areas.

Several more spaceports have appeared high above the city, providing a convenient place for visitors to dock.

Even outside the atmosphere, the Ultra Warriors that patrol regularly are several times more numerous than when he left.

All of this was a silent reminder to him that he had truly left the Land of Light he knew and arrived in another future world, separated by tens of thousands of years.

"Hehe, finally home... Come on, uncle, I'll take you to see the captain and the others!"

Zero chuckled as he passed through the atmosphere first, followed closely by Belial and Darklops Zero.

When they landed on the main square of the Land of Light, the various members of the Aomen who were coming and going and busy with their own things almost simultaneously stopped what they were doing.

Their gazes first fell on Zero—a gaze of worship and admiration, the pure joy that only comes when one sees their hero return safely—then their gazes naturally shifted to Darklops Zero standing beside Zero.

It has an appearance almost identical to Zero, but the color of the patterns on its body surface is a dark brown and black that reveals danger and ferocity.

Especially its single dark purple eye, which is distinctly different from that of ordinary Ultramen, elevates its imposing and fierce aura to a new level!

So much so that when faced with this figure that seems exactly like Zero, yet is actually full of contrasts...

If it weren't for Zero casually draping his hand over Belial's shoulder, and Darklops Zero exchanging a few words with a clearly disgruntled expression, yet showing no sign of tension or hostility...

They'll probably be so frightened they'll have a stress reaction and instinctively attack Darklops Zero!

As for Beria...

With Zero and Dark Loops Zero, these two "twin stars," ahead of him, he became the one who was overlooked by the other Ultras.

Ultimately, ever since Belial of this universe was parasitized by the Reiblood aliens, the image of that giant black bullfrog with thunderous power has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the inhabitants of the Land of Light.

The recent crisis in which Belial invaded the Land of Light and seized the Plasma Spark Core has further reinforced this preconceived notion in the minds of the Ultras!

So much so that it's not even the younger generation...

Even some of the older Ultraman have forgotten what Belial looked like before he turned evil!

So much so that, gazing at the unfamiliar yet subtly familiar face of the Silver Clan before them, several of the older Ultra Warriors frowned slightly, as if searching for something in their memories.

But in the end, they shook their heads and turned their attention back to Zero.

Zero was clearly aware of the stares coming his way, but he had no time to deal with the enthusiastic gazes of his fans.

He was drooping his head, ignoring the frantically panting Darklops Zero beside him, staring at Belial with an innocent, aggrieved look like a kitten. His steps slowed down, and finally he stopped altogether, pleading in a rare, strained voice.

"Uncle, even though it's a bet, you have to accept the consequences... are you really willing to make me go back to school to repeat a year? You see, I'm a big celebrity in the Land of Light now! I get stared at wherever I go! If I go back to school and sit in a classroom with a bunch of little kids, my reputation will be ruined! Why don't you reconsider? Please, uncle, you're the best person I can be~"

It's worth mentioning in the conversation...

Although he returned to Belial's side first in the previous contest, theoretically he was the one who won the contest and was spared the "misfortune" of being sent back to the furnace.

However, eager for quick success, after rushing into the Salome aliens' base, he only briefly inspected it, dealt with two of the Salome aliens' underlings, and took apart the mechanical Ultra Brothers that had appeared. Then he hurriedly returned to report his achievements.

This is why he was unable to find the Salome alien leader hiding in the shadows, or the remaining Ultra Brothers who had been hidden by her beforehand, and who were seen by the surveillance footage as two Zeros headed straight for the base.

This made her hate Zero to the core, but she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...

Although the base was severely damaged, Darklos Zero inexplicably "betrayed" and went out of control...

However, as long as she can preserve this batch of mechanical Ultra Brothers, she can use them as models to start mass production again after Zero leaves!

Even if she can't invade other parallel universes, just letting the mechanical Ultra Brothers burn, kill, and plunder in the universe will be enough for her to conquer a vast territory and ruin the reputation and goodwill of the Land of Light!

Unfortunately, the Salome alien leader, who was meticulously calculating his gains, had clearly forgotten...

Zero truly had no idea about the details of this base...

However, DarkLops Zero, who was once considered the strongest trump card by the leader of the Salome aliens and was imprisoned inside this base for a long time, knew the situation inside the base very well!

Before the Salome alien leader could even celebrate, Darklops Zero, who had followed closely behind and acted with even greater precision, unleashed a beam of light that instantly obliterated both him and the mechanical Ultra Brothers!

Even the core of the base built by the Salome aliens, the device used to maintain this special space, was found and successfully destroyed by Dark Lops Zero!

This is why the pillar of light continued to expand outwards and why this space rapidly collapsed and ceased to exist!

Therefore, strictly speaking, Zero ultimately lost this match.

Even with the complete video recording of the entire operation provided by Dark Lops Zero, Zero had no room for argument!

Losing this competition also meant he had to fulfill his bet...

Belial pressed his head down and personally escorted him back to school to make up for his shortcomings in cultural knowledge!

For Zero, who graduated from the sports school... oops! K76 planetary special training, this was like the sky falling!

That's why Zero, who is usually so proud and arrogant, kept saying nice things to Belial along the way. Even now, disregarding his own image, after briefly getting to know Belial and realizing his doting nature, he brazenly hugged Belial and started acting like a spoiled child!

This made Beria's lips twitch slightly, and he almost burst out laughing on the spot.

If I remember correctly, Zero, that awkward guy, has never been this affectionate even in front of his father, Seven.

If you were to tell Zero now that the "older man" he was hugging and acting cute was actually Belial...

Tsk tsk tsk, the usually strong-willed Sai Tu Zi will probably shatter on the spot, his Dao heart completely broken, right?

Chapter 54 Belial's true identity is revealed, and the Ultra Brothers attack!

[Hey, surprised? Unexpected, right?]

[A belated birthday thank you! Thank you all for your support!]

I originally wanted to do this on my birthday, but it was too late, so I couldn't. Sorry.
