Since Hiko wasn't critically injured and hospitalized like in the original plot, once Gen began training, his undivided attention fully demonstrated what being a genius meant.
The Spinning Kick was a technique to counter the twin monsters. After just a few practice runs, Gen had grasped the basics.
He no longer needed Xia Yan to pull the rope; he could now jump and spin in mid-air by himself.
Watching Gen spinning in the air, Xia Yan fell into a moment of沉默. This just doesn't make sense!
What about gravity? Newton, come out and do something about this.
Why was the hang time after jumping several minutes long, and while spinning no less?
Gen, now back on the ground and looking a bit tired, wiped his sweat and walked over to Xia Yan:
"Xia Yan-san, now I'll help you practice."
With that, he took the rope from Xia Yan's hand and set down the metal pole used for spinning.
Recalling Gen's earlier howls of pain from摔在地上, Xia Yan wasn't too keen on practicing this.
But he also felt a bit of anticipation. In this "willpower-based" Ultraman universe, what if he was exceptionally gifted?
Thinking this, Xia Yan gritted his teeth, stepped forward, grabbed the metal pole, and decided to give it a try.
Just as the two were training with如火如荼 intensity...
The Ultra Sign sent by Dan Moroboshi had already crossed 3 million light-years.
Within the M78 Nebula.
On a massive planet lived a group of Ultraman gangsters. This was the Land of Light.
The翡翠般 emerald-green planet was orbited by several smaller satellite planets.
On one unremarkable, sandy satellite planet lay the immensely powerful Ultra Key, which controlled the Land of Light's orbital path.
Yet, such an important object had no guards stationed there.
One could only say this was typical of the Ultraman gang's security, consistently lax as ever. Those in the know understand.
Of course, this also had to do with the Land of Light's education. Here, everyone was practically a good person; crime was almost non-existent.
Probably in the collective consciousness of the Land of Light's residents, no one would even think of stealing.
At this moment, on the emerald-green planet, Ultramen walked back and forth on the crystal streets.
There were couples strolling while holding Ultra infants, blue-tribe Ultramen hurrying to the Science Bureau, and red-tribe Ultramen rushing towards the Ultra Colosseum.
And so, during this peaceful time, an Ultra Sign appeared in the sky above the Land of Light.
[Brother Original, come to Earth quickly to pick up your son!]
The Ultramen collectively paused, looking up at this sign. The next moment, it caused an uproar!
"What? Original-senpai has a son? Looks like my aunt missed her chance."
"But how could Original-senpai's son be on Earth?"
"I heard back when he was on Earth, Original-senpai had deep feelings for a human woman."
"Then why didn't he bring the child back to the Land of Light? Could it be Original-senpai was afraid of being punished?"
"Nani!? Original-senpai abandoned his child on Earth!?"
"How could such a thing happen? I never expected Original-senpai to be a渣男."
The Ultramen议论纷纷. The话题 gradually drifted further and further from the facts.
Until finally, it reached the Inter-Galactic Defense Force, and then Taro went to tell Father of Ultra.
Of course, this Taro here was only half his power, created from the Ultra Badge; the other half was given to Hikari.
At this moment, the Original Ultraman, teaching at Ultra University, was completely unaware of the situation outside.
Suddenly receiving a summons from Commander Ken, he set aside his work and headed for the Ultra Council Hall.
Along the way, many Ultramen were窃窃私语. When the Original looked over, they immediately fell silent, though their headlamp eyes kept staring.
This left the Original feeling utterly莫名其妙, wondering why everyone kept looking at him.
Even the younger generation who usually greeted him remained silent today.
Entering the Ultra Council Hall.
Seeing Father of Ultra and Mother of Ultra present, along with Zoffy and the others, the Original thought a major crisis had occurred.
He quickly approached and asked: "Commander, is there a powerful enemy we need to deal with!?"
"Original..." Father of Ultra looked at the Original with a strange expression, patting his shoulder and speaking earnestly:
"You are an outstanding warrior of the Land of Light, an important member of the Ultra Brothers."
"How could you make such an irresponsible mistake? Bring the child back. We won't blame you."
?
Question marks appeared in the Original's eyes.
Beside him, Mother of Ultra spoke gently, her words carrying a hint of责备:
"That child on Earth must have suffered quite a lot. As a father, how could you abandon your child? Go bring him back quickly."
??
The Original's eyes grew even more bewildered. When did I have a child? I don't know about this!?
Ace, with the most volatile temper among them, couldn't help but speak up:
"Brother Original, how could you leave a child without a father's陪伴? While there's still a chance to make things right, go to Earth and bring our nephew back!"
Ace, an orphan himself, picked up from the battlefield by Zoffy, instinctively empathized.
The Original, meanwhile, was utterly dumbfounded, his headlamp eyes wide with懵逼.
What's going on?
How did I become the target of public谴责?
Who started this rumor? I'm a bachelor of ten thousand years!
Fortunately, Zoffy was more level-headed and didn't accuse the Original. Seeing his utterly confused expression, he explained:
"Just now, Seven sent an Ultra Sign asking you to go to Earth to pick up your son. Could there be some misunderstanding?"
"And we heard from the citizens of the Land of Light that you had a romantic relationship on Earth back then. Did you—"
"No!" The Original abruptly cut off Zoffy, erupting in愤怒: "Absolutely not! I don't have a son at all!"
"Zoffy, you know this. What does Hayata's situation have to do with me? And we separated in the end! It's not like this衰仔 Ace here!"
The Original was气急败坏.
Ace, seeing the situation seemed off, didn't dare say more even after being called a衰仔.
Hearing this, Zoffy fell into thought. It seemed there was indeed such an incident.
He remembered it was right after the Life Fixation Device was invented, by Hikari, if he recalled correctly.
Speaking of Hikari, what has he been up to lately? Haven't seen him at the Inter-Galactic Science Bureau. Tregear has complained several times.
Mother of Ultra and Father of Ultra exchanged glances. It seemed things weren't as the Land of Light's citizens claimed.
They had watched the Original grow up, knew his character well. He had been single all these years.
It seemed unlikely he'd suddenly have a child. But Seven's Ultra Sign also couldn't have been faked.
After some thought, Father of Ultra stepped forward: "Seven wouldn't act without reason. In that case, Original, go to Earth and see what this is all about."
The Original甩动 his red cape behind him. Intending to settle accounts with Seven, he immediately agreed:
"I'll go right now!"
As the words fell, he shot up into the sky, inwardly cursing uncontrollably.
Seven, you Taro wannabe, just you wait!
