Chapter 161 Super Ultraman

Meishin University, Astronomy Club.

“WHAT?! You’re Super Ultraman?!”

Emma Kazama, Kanna Izumi, and several other members of the Astronomy Club stared at Ibuki Mitsuishi in disbelief.

The moment Ibuki returned, he’d dropped a bombshell on everyone.

He was the giant who had been fighting monsters all this time.

A few imaginary black lines practically appeared on Ibuki’s forehead as he patiently corrected them.

“Please call me Ultraman Teo. Not ‘Super Ultraman.'”

“Isn’t that basically the same thing?”

Wataru Tomabechi, the oldest member of the club, walked up to Ibuki.

“Who would’ve thought you were actually an alien, Ibuki? I just hope we haven’t been too disappointing. I’d hate for us to leave you with a bad impression of Earth.”

“Of course not! You’ve all been amazing!” Ibuki quickly assured him. “Getting to know you guys has been one of the best experiences of my life.”

“Well, aren’t you sweet?” Emma teased.

“Seriously, though, thank you for taking care of me all this time.”

Ibuki’s expression grew solemn.

“I’ve joined the Earth Defense Force now, so I probably won’t have much time to visit anymore.”

“I came back for two reasons. First, to say goodbye. Second, to take Pucchi with me.”

“You’re taking Pucchi too?”

Emma, the Astronomy Club’s president, looked genuinely upset.

After spending so much time together, she’d grown incredibly attached to the little monster.

“I’m afraid so. Pucchi is a Pigterus, the most powerful living biological weapon in the universe. The Earth Defense Force needs to keep him under protection.”

“If he stays here at the Astronomy Club, someone with bad intentions could easily steal him. And if that happens, the consequences could be disastrous.”

Ibuki patiently explained the situation to his friends.

Eventually, under their reluctant and saddened gazes, he took Pucchi and went to find Vane.

Pucchi was an adorable little creature, covered in fluffy fur with a wonderfully goofy expression.

Even Vane couldn’t resist giving him a few pats.

He also treated the little guy to some delicious donuts.

The moment Pucchi got his donut, he practically exploded with excitement, repeatedly rubbing his oversized head against Vane.

“What an adorable little monster.”

“Hard to believe something this cute is actually a Pigterus, the universe’s ultimate biological weapon.”

Daigo Madoka and Keigo Masaki stared at Pucchi in amazement.

Neither could imagine such a harmless-looking creature being a terrifying living weapon.

“Don’t let his normal appearance fool you. You see…”

Unable to hold himself back, Zero began explaining why Pucchi’s species had earned such a frightening reputation.

Pigterus possessed the ability to sense and resonate with the emotions of other living beings.

Whenever they encountered someone experiencing particularly intense emotions, they could synchronize with those feelings and transform into powerful warriors, fighting to fulfill that person’s desires.

Unfortunately, this ability made them incredibly valuable to aggressive alien civilizations.

Countless invaders had captured Pigterus and exploited their emotional synchronization abilities, turning them into weapons of war and slaughter.

This had sparked numerous devastating conflicts throughout the universe, causing the species’ population to plummet.

After playing with Pucchi for a while, Vane announced that Ibuki would be undergoing special training.

His reasoning was simple.

Anyone joining the Earth Defense Force absolutely could not be a weakling.

Otherwise, how were they supposed to deal with the terrifying monsters they’d encounter in the future?

“Wait! Does that mean you’re going to be my junior disciple?”

Daigo looked at Ibuki, his voice practically trembling with excitement.

Finally! Someone else gets to experience the suffering I’ve endured!

“Master, leave his training to me!”

Daigo was practically bouncing with enthusiasm.

“You?”

Vane glanced at Daigo and immediately figured out what the little troublemaker was planning.

Sure enough, some people go through hell and immediately start looking for someone else to drag down with them.

After considering it for a moment, Vane pulled a pile of Golden Apples from his inventory and handed them to Daigo.

“Fine. I’ll leave our newest recruit, Ibuki, in your hands.”

Daigo’s face lit up.

“Don’t worry, Master! By the time I’m done with him, Ibuki will be a completely different person!”

Vane simply smiled without saying anything.

He had no intention of exposing Daigo’s little scheme.

Let him enjoy himself for a day.

Once he’s had his fun tormenting Ibuki, I’ll bring out the fleet of heavy trucks and give him and Zero some advanced training.

After Vane left, Ibuki turned toward Daigo with a sincere expression.

“So, how exactly are we going to train?”

A wicked grin spread across Daigo’s face.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you get the training of a lifetime.”

Meanwhile, elsewhere…

The Emperor, Keigo Masaki, and several others had traveled to negotiate with the Earth government of Dimension C10, hoping to convince them to join the Earth Federation.

After witnessing the Federation’s overwhelming military might and advanced technology, the C10 Earth government agreed to become a member.

“This is incredible! They actually built a passage connecting different dimensions!”

Near the interdimensional gateway, Horii, Shinjoh, and several other GUTS members stared at the sight before them, completely dumbfounded.

When they’d first received the news, they’d been extremely skeptical.

But now that they were witnessing it firsthand, skepticism had given way to pure amazement and admiration.

They couldn’t begin to imagine what kind of power or technology would be necessary to construct something like this.

As Shinjoh stared at the gateway, his thoughts drifted back to the Desire Grand Prix.

Maybe that invitation really can help me make up for my greatest regret.

“I brought you here to help build C10 Earth’s defense system, not to stand around gawking.”

“Go supervise the workers. Make sure every component of the orbital defense cannons is properly secured. The last thing we need is to discover something’s wrong after we’ve already shipped everything into space.”

Captain Megumi Iruma looked at her two teammates with a helpless expression.

“Captain, we were just admiring the view,” Shinjoh protested.

“Yeah, Captain. Sorry about that. We’ll get right to work,” Horii quickly added.

“Speaking of which, where’s Daigo?”

Rena Yanase approached Captain Iruma, glancing around hopefully.

She was clearly searching for the person she cared about most.

“Daigo is a member of the Earth Defense Force, so he’s probably somewhere else. Most likely training,” Iruma explained.

“Once we’re done here, send him a message. Let him know you’ve come to Dimension C10 too.”

“Okay…”

Rena looked a little disappointed but returned to her duties.

With GUTS assisting in the project, Dimension C10’s Earth began constructing a comprehensive orbital defense network.

The goal was simple: prevent another disaster like the one they’d experienced before.

NOTE:

Since people clearly don’t like how the story is currently going (we fell from the Top 50 to completely out of the rankings), I wanted to stop translating this book.

However, because some of you still enjoy it, I will continue.

That said, I will only upload 1 chapter daily instead of 2 from tomorrow, as I want to focus more on my other books!

Have a good day, BYE!
