Chapter 146: You Asked for This Yourself

No way, I can become this strong!?

Gaia looked at his own body, then glanced at the fake Gaia opposite him, and suddenly came to his senses.

No, that is not me!

Then he felt even more distressed in his heart. The copy was actually stronger than himself, the original body. What the hell, it really felt like screwing Agul.

Jojo, what on earth are you still doing!

At this moment, Gaia, thinking of Jojo, turned his head and looked toward Qiao Zhe's position.

However, he only saw Rena Nanase standing in place, looking well-behaved and sensible.

Just as he was feeling a bit puzzled, a roar came from the sky!

Gaia looked up at the swirling clouds and muttered inwardly.

Just like Agul, whenever Jojo transforms, he always likes to use these special effect scenes.

Unlike himself, who just needs to smash the ground.

Agul looked up at the sky and memorized this entrance method.

The special effects are quite nice, and now it's mine.

The actions of the two Ultramen made Algyros unconsciously look up into the high sky.

The simulated fake Gaia had its light-bulb eyes full of vigilance, its hands gathering energy.

Although it could only simulate the fusion of two rays of light, that did not prevent it from continuing to use the Spacium Ray.

According to intelligence, Apatee was previously ambushed using this method, and it, Algyros, would not fall for it.

Just as it was thinking this, Jojo's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"What are you looking at with such a nervous expression?"

The tall silver giant stood behind Algyros, gazing down at his opponent.

Hearing this, Algyros was suddenly startled and instinctively looked back!

"Slap descends!"

Simultaneously with a loud Ultraman shout, a large silver hand bursting with white energy slapped heavily across Algyros's face!

Its face was instantly deformed as it spun and crashed in front of Gaia and Agul.

At this moment, Jojo crossed his arms.

"Mere gravel is not even a fraction of my might."

Gold Experience Requiem emerged from his body and familiarly took the Beetle Arrow, pressing it against his forehead.

As purple flames spread, it floated beside Jojo with a bizarre posture, then raised a finger.

A beam of white light shot out!

The beam struck Algyros, and its body seemed to be subjected to reversed time!

The entire body rapidly reverted to its original metallic liquid state, and all the data it had gathered was completely factory-reset.

For monsters relying on data like this, this move was simply their ultimate nemesis.

Or rather, for any monsters attempting a mid-battle upgrade to unlock a second phase, the moment they advanced in the previous second, they would revert in the next.

Just like the current Algyros, it received a one-click factory reset, and all its data was completely wiped.

The destructive power inherent in the beam was still at work.

The metallic liquid cracked all over, exploded with a booming sound into dust, and was then completely decomposed until it vanished utterly.

Agul watched with a feeling of apprehension. Looking at Jojo's Stand, he felt that the opponent's ability was simply absurd.

Moreover, the external cheat he planned to research next seemed to be countered by this ability.

Gaia stared with glazed eyes. He had long coveted Jojo's Stand, and seeing it now made him desire it even more.

Taking a few large strides to reach Jojo's front, Gaia's face was filled with eager hope.

"Jojo! I want to learn this!"

Since he had already followed along to learn the Ripple, Mumu no longer cared about so much at this moment.

To put it simply, he had grown thick-skinned.

"Are you serious?" Jojo recalled Gold Experience Requiem and put away the Beetle Arrow together. "The process might hurt a little."

Seeing that there was a chance, Gaia nodded hastily.

According to Mumu's thought, it was probably just like the training when learning the Ripple, so Gaia said with a serious face, "Bring it on! I'm not afraid of hardship!"

"Me too." Hearing this, Agul walked over to the side, his face equally earnest.

It was impossible for him to watch Mumu continuously elevate his strength while he remained stagnant.

It was all about competing; let's see whose drive is stronger!

Seeing this buy-one-get-one-free situation, Jojo patted their shoulders with great satisfaction.

After nodding in agreement as an Ultraman, his body turned into light and disappeared.

Gaia and Agul glanced at each other. Fujimiya and Mumu started competing against each other once again, leaping up and flying in different directions.

With the enemy resolved, the Lightning Team, under Tsutsumi's instructions, regrouped and returned to the base in the sky.

Prolong Karamos Research Institute.

Upon returning here, Fujimiya couldn't wait to approach Qiao Zhe: "When does the training start?"

His thought process was similar to Mumu's, assuming that training was all it took.

"Don't be impatient." Qiao Zhe retrieved the Gaia optical disc from subspace and motioned to Fujimiya. "Before that, you and Mumu should take a look at this."

Looking at the characters on the optical disc, Fujimiya frowned slightly and took it.

"Ultraman Gaia?"

On the surface coating of the disc were images of Gaia and Agul.

He had a premonition in his heart and looked at Qiao Zhe with disbelief.

Could it be!

At this moment, Mumu trotted over. He still retained the memories of that world, and upon seeing the optical disc in Fujimiya's hand, his expression lit up with joy.

However, right then, the communicator on his wrist beeped.

Opening the communicator cover, Tsutsumi's video call appeared on the small screen: "Mumu, you and Qiao Zhe are back?"

When he saw Jojo and Gaia, he knew clearly that the two had returned, but he still pretended not to know and asked.

"By the way, why didn't you appear at the location of the Adventure? Where is the Adventure?"

Hearing Tsutsumi's question, Mumu felt a pang of guilt and searched for an excuse: "Uh... the Adventure heroically sacrificed itself while saving that world. Director Tsutsumi, let's leave it at that for now, I have things to do."

In the XIG Command Room, Tsutsumi watched the main screen turn black, and his face darkened as well.

This kid was getting better at making excuses; he was so practiced at it now.

Tsutsumi looked at Ishimuro and Chiba, the three exchanging glances with mutual understanding, and chose not to dwell on the Adventure.

Machines could be rebuilt if they were lost, and besides, Qiao Zhe and Mumu returning safely was more important than anything else.

Meanwhile, inside the research institute.

Closing the communicator cover, Mumu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up.

He turned to Fujimiya with an excited expression: "Quickly put this disc into the computer and let's watch!"

Fujimiya walked to the computer holding the optical disc. Although he still found it hard to believe, the expressions of Qiao Zhe and Mumu indicated that this was real.

As the disc was placed into the tray, the computer read it and began playing a video.

Unlike their own transformations, the Gaia and Agul played on the disc obviously looked like actors wearing suits.

Seeing Mumu and Fujimiya looking awkward while watching the video of themselves, Qiao Zhe explained, "Don't mind that they look the same; these are your parallel universe counterparts."

"This is actually just your story, presented to other worlds in a different way."

The two exchanged glances, reluctantly accepted this explanation, and continued watching attentively.

Episodes one through four were fine, except that Jojo did not appear.

By the end of episode five, Fujimiya felt something was a bit off.

When Nim dragon appeared in episode eleven, Mumu watched in doubt about life.

However, when episode nineteen played, showing the battle between the two Ultramen, Fujimiya pressed pause with dark lines on his face: "No need to watch! This idiot is definitely not me!"

"That's right! That idiot isn't me either!" Mumu strongly agreed.
