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

What is that? Is it edible?

Is my handsome, protective, and doting grandfather Belial more important?

Hahahaha! I take back what I said earlier. This isn't some nightmare that occurred when you were near death from the backlash of the Plasma Spark Tower's core energy...

It is a real, absolutely true and irreplaceable reality!

The Land of Light should look like this!

"...What are you grinning about, Zero? Let me remind you... Knowing His Majesty's personality, once he's done beating up your father, he'll definitely keep sending you back to school. At that point, no one will dare stop him. In fact... your father might become your classmate and be thrown back into school with you to start over."

At the same time, seeing Zero staring intently at Belial, Dark Lops Zero, who seemed indifferent, suddenly and silently walked behind Zero.

Then, he leaned close to Zero's ear and, just as Zero's mood reached its peak and he felt more exhilarated than ever before, suddenly reminded him.

"...No, no, no, no! This is the only thing I can't do...!"

Okay, now it's Zero's turn to stop laughing.

As the lines on his entire body surface visibly turned pale, the cheers he uttered also immediately changed in tone.

"Hang in there, you old geezer! You absolutely can't lose! Please—!!!"

Chapter 57 Belial: Zoffy, you've really made something of yourself!

He witnessed firsthand the infamous "traitor" of the Land of Light publicly beating Ultra Seven, one of the Ultra Brothers. However, Ultra Seven's attitude underwent a complete 180-degree change; from clamoring to kill Belial, he became someone who wouldn't retaliate, not even daring to block the attack.

Even the other five members of the Ultra Brothers, and even Seven's biological son Zero, just watched from afar, showing no intention of stepping forward to lend a helping hand.

This caused a sudden disruption in the emotions of the Ultra Warriors, who had been on high alert, as they had anticipated the imminent recurrence of Belial's invasion of the Land of Light.

Involuntarily, a series of big question marks arose in my mind.

hiss……

Is this...right?

Shouldn't the normal plot development be...?

We swarmed forward, attempting to subdue this "traitor" from the Land of Light.

Then, due to insufficient strength, they were all defeated by Belial single-handedly, and could only watch helplessly as he walked into the Plasma Spark Tower and forcibly seized the Plasma Spark Core, causing the Land of Light to lose its light and fall into a frozen crisis of destruction.

The surviving Ultra Warriors pursued Belial and, after a fierce battle, successfully reclaimed the Plasma Spark Core, allowing the Land of Light to regain its vitality.

This will write a grand chapter worthy of being recorded in the history of the Land of Light, and use Belial as a negative example to highlight the outstanding performance and growth of a certain new generation member.

Is this the direction it's heading?

But what do I see now?

Even though they've already lost, why aren't any of the Ultra Brothers worried?

And, if I'm not mistaken...

Zero, who witnessed his father being beaten, was still clapping and cheering?

hiss……

Is Commander Seven's family life really that bad...?

Amidst the bewildered atmosphere, and seeing that none of the Ultra Brothers said anything, they dared not launch an attack on Belial, collectively remaining on the sidelines to watch Seven get beaten up in this strange ambiguity, time slowly passed.

Zoffy, the eldest brother who still cared deeply for his younger brother, was the first to realize that Belial's identity was suspicious. Based on his understanding of Belial, he foresaw Seven's fate and secretly contacted the Silver Cross. Then, assuming Belial had calmed down, the Silver Cross members "belatedly" arrived. They carried Seven, who was already bruised and battered, but still twitching and occasionally letting out a silly laugh, onto a stretcher and rushed him to the Silver Cross's private room that Zoffy had reserved in advance.

Beria then slowly stood up, looking refreshed, and stretched his limbs.

Then, with his hands on his hips, showing no remorse for being a "traitor," he glanced at Zoffy and the others and spoke with a "friendly" expression.

"Alright, we'll settle the score with Seven the little brat after he gets out of the Silver Cross Army. But you guys... don't tell me Seven did such a good job of hiding your intelligence that you never knew Zero existed? And you didn't know Zero was Seven's son? You just left him in an orphanage and let him grow up alone?"

The moment the words fell, the Ultra Brothers, who had already involuntarily taken a half step back under Belial's gaze, suddenly trembled.

Clearly, after witnessing Seven's "tragic end," even the slow-witted Taro, with Man's whispered reminder, realized that the Belial before him was not the corrupted version who only wanted to destroy the Land of Light. Rather, he was the reliable elder who, while his parents were busy with other work during his childhood, grumbled and complained, yet still cared for him and his brothers!

Therefore, faced with this seemingly kind but actually perilous "life-or-death question," the Ultra Brothers, who could remain calm even when facing ferocious monsters, collectively became drenched in sweat!

Even more deadly is...

Knowing they were facing imminent disaster, the Ultra Brothers displayed an extremely consistent bond of brotherly love at this critical juncture.

There was no verbal communication or eye contact; it was purely an instinctive reaction from the heart.

Zoffy, Man, Jack, and Ace all took a step back almost instantly after Belial finished speaking.

So slow to react, just like his father in his youth, the naive Taro sensed something was wrong and looked around blankly. Before he knew it, he had become the most conspicuous figure among the Ultra Brothers, standing at the very front!

"Brothers...brothers! You...!"

When Taro looked at his "good brother" with disbelief and grievance, Zoffy and the others either looked up at the sky or down at the ground, none of them daring to meet Taro's gaze, and they pretended to be very busy.

They all knew that no matter how they tried to argue, they couldn't change the fact that they had completely ignored Zero.

Furthermore, given that Taro possesses the Ultra Heart, has the fastest recovery speed among the Ultra Brothers, and is Ken's biological son...

Even if Belial is furious, he wouldn't kill Taro... right...?

Thinking this, Zoffy and the others, feeling guilty, continued to incline backward, little by little...

"Taro, don't you think you have something you want to say to me?"

“…Uncle…Uncle Bei, calm down…I…I do know about Zero…but Seven said it’s his family matter, and he’ll take full responsibility. He told us not to interfere…”

Of course, Taro's first reaction was to catch up with his brothers so as not to stand out too much and become the second "eyeball" after Seven to be publicly beaten by Belial.

Before Taro could even lift his leg, Belial gently patted Taro's shoulder, his voice tinged with amusement as he softly inquired.

But with each word he uttered, Taro felt increasingly panicked. Like an innocent and pitiful kitten, he felt his fate being gripped by the neck.

Knowing there was no way to avoid it, Taro could only steel himself and stammer a reply.

"I told you not to interfere? Ha, very well, Seven... It seems I was too lenient just now, too lenient!"

Belial repeated the word, his tone still that infuriatingly flat. But Taro, drenched in sweat, clearly felt Belial's gaze sharpen even further.

"However, don't think that just because you say that, you're completely absolved of responsibility... Knowing that he abandoned a newborn child in an orphanage, leaving that child to grow up alone without parents, you uncles turned a blind eye all along. Only when the child was driven to desperation and wanted to imitate his father by touching the core of the Plasma Spark Tower did you think of stepping in to stop him?!"

"But...but Uncle Bei, Seven said..."

"What are you talking about! Does the Land of Light belong to that little brat who calls the shots?!"

At first, Taro tried to struggle a bit more, offering his explanations in a submissive manner.

Unexpectedly, mentioning Seven only made things worse. Belial, already fiercely protective of his own, immediately dropped his act. Gritting his teeth and cursing, he raised his hand, as if calling out names, and coldly addressed Zoffy and the others who had retreated more than ten steps away.

"And you lot! Don't think that just because you're standing far away, I won't bother you! Whether Zero has let go of this past or not, I don't care... but now that I'm back, every one of you uncles has to give this kid an explanation!"

"That kid Zero doesn't hold grudges because he's kind-hearted, but I'm not so easy to talk to! What you owe him, you'll pay back little by little, starting today! Until you've paid it all back, stop acting like elders in front of this kid! Think about whether you're even worthy of it!"

After speaking, without waiting for Zoffy and the others to react, Belial waved towards the edge of the square, signaling Zero to come over.

Zero hesitated for a moment, then stepped past Darklops Zero and walked to Belial's side. Before he could speak, Belial raised his hand and pressed Zero's shoulder, making him stand facing the Ultra Brothers.

"Zero, watch out. Every single one of these people owes you an explanation. If any of them dare to bully you again, come find me, and I'll beat them up for you! I'll make sure they get permanent residency at the Silver Cross Army!"

Zero opened his mouth, as if to say something, but his throat felt like it was blocked by something.

In the end, Zero simply lowered his head, his shoulders trembling, and gave a muffled "hmm."

It was precisely this unintentional display of "weakness" by Zero that made the onlookers, the Ultra Warriors, finally realize...

This seemingly unrestrained and powerful warrior, who always presented himself as an invincible warrior, was actually just a child who was not yet an adult and still needed the care and guidance of his elders, but was forced to mature prematurely due to his parents' wrong decisions...

"Regarding everything that has happened in the past, we will definitely find a way to make amends to Zero. But now, please allow me to say something to you first..."

Just then, as if he had made up his mind, Zoffy took the initiative to step forward, risking Belial's wrath.

He didn't say anything touching, nor did he make any verbal promises to Zero. He simply placed his fist on the timer on his chest and solemnly gave Zero a standard warrior's salute.

Then, facing Belial, he extended his hand and, with a seemingly mature and composed yet subtly expectant tremor in his voice, continued, word by word.

“Uncle Belial… no, Commander Belial, welcome back.”

"You little brat, you're quite the official talker now? Wow, you even have a star badge, you've really made something of yourself..."

Fortunately, although Belial teased him, he immediately reached out and shook Zoffy's hand.

Then, as Zoffy's gaze grew brighter and brighter, Belial was about to speak when his consciousness suddenly plunged into a brief darkness.

However, from the outside perspective, Beria showed no abnormalities.

Only a hint of relief and guilt quietly surfaced in his eyes, and he pulled Zoffy into his arms, continuing to speak in a complex tone.

"Back then, because of me, a sinner, I was exiled, and Ken had a back injury. In the vast Land of Light, you had to stand up and shoulder the burden alone, supporting the turbulent Land of Light by yourself... You've really had a hard time these past years, Zoffy."

"What happened back then was my mistake... I'm so sorry for leaving you, a child, to clean up the mess I made, and for making you suffer."

"...Uncle Bei..."

Upon hearing these words, Zoffy, who had been able to suppress his complex emotions and try to maintain a mature demeanor, completely broke down on the spot.

Ignoring the many people watching, he wrapped his arms around Belial and buried his face in Belial's shoulder.

It's as if he's no longer the glamorous, high-ranking captain of the Ultra Guard...

Instead, he's just an ordinary little O who, despite being wronged outside, has Uncle Bear's backing and can freely act spoiled...

Chapter 58 [Bonus Chapter] Geed: This is my father!

Since everyone wants to see the viewing experience, I'll give it a try...?

[Note: This chapter is designed to avoid pushing the plot forward, as this is a new approach. If you don't like this type of story, you can skip it without affecting your reading experience.]

Just as Belial "reasoned" with the Ultra Brothers and successfully cleared them of suspicion of invading the Land of Light,

Little did they know that in the vast parallel universe, there were more than one place where a broad curtain of light appeared in the sky.

These light screens are a new invention by Hikari, the director of the Space Science and Technology Bureau of the Land of Light, and are called the "Space-Time Rewind Observation Device".

The principle behind this is to use the interdimensional energy fluctuations generated between parallel universes to recreate historical images of parallel universes.

As for the reason for creating this device, besides being commissioned by someone, it was also to allow the current restless younger generation to more directly see the various regrets left behind by those parallel universes. This would help them calm down, learn from their mistakes, and avoid repeating them.

but……

The good news is that Hikari's invention remains as powerful as ever.

The bad news is that Hikari's inventions are as powerful as ever.

So much so that the device had only just been assembled and was being used for its first experimental activation when the area covered by the light curtain it produced far exceeded Hikari's expectations.

Multiple parallel universes, even those located on different timelines, all exhibit the same celestial phenomenon.

Those signals pierced through the dimensional barrier, presenting the true experiences of Ultraman Belial from another parallel universe to all the Ultra Warriors who had ever crossed paths with this name in a gentle yet irresistible way.

The universe where Ultraman Geed resides was the first to receive this image.

Riku Asakura—or rather, Ultraman Geed—sat alone on the sofa in Nebula Manor, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He had just killed his own father...

That dark tyrant named Belial, who committed countless killings and crimes, and who once triggered the Impaler Crisis, nearly destroying the universe...

He originally thought that by personally eliminating such a demon and saving the earth, he would feel a little better.

But now, Asakura Riku's inner emotions were exceptionally complex. He had no idea where he, as "Belial's son," should go from here on out.

Just then, an unfamiliar light screen suddenly appeared in front of Asakura Riku.

Before he could react, he saw a familiar silver-red Ultra Warrior floating on a desolate planet in the light screen.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Asakura Riku recognized the other party's identity based on the fact that, apart from the color timer on the chest, everything else was exactly the same as his original form!

It's Belial! He's still alive?!

Could it be that this light screen is a warning signal that Zero sent to Belial, who had miraculously survived?

But... he doesn't seem to be the Belial he remembers at all.

There was not a trace of dark energy on that Silver Clan warrior. His eyes were not the scarlet red that had been consumed by the madness and violence of the Rebrondo people, but a calm and gentle milky white.

The light emitted by the color timer was not the eerie purple light distorted by the Rebrondo alien factor, but a stable and bright blue-white.

What made Geed even more unbelievable was...
