Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

Chapter 250 Two Parties' Confusion

"Yixuan, Yixuan, are you there?"

A woman's voice drifted into the empty building, her tone hurried and flustered, completely out of place with the cheerful atmosphere in the distance.

"This is Ajiu. Are you home, Yixuan?"

"I want to talk to someone. I don't like the environment outside. Everyone has become so strange, completely different from before."

Ah Jiu had no other requests at the moment. She just wanted to find someone she could confide in. There had been too many complicated things happening recently. Even the hero she trusted and hoped for the most was avoiding her. Ah Jiu really didn't know who she could rely on.

Everyone in the surrounding houses went to participate in the Hero's Festival, but Ah Jiu didn't want to join them at all.

Now is not the time to celebrate. Heroes appear before us to fight against crises, not to enjoy themselves.

Everything changed after Haiyun moved to Tsuchimiya. First it was the guild master, then Haruki, then the Magicians Guild and everyone, and now it's Sean and Akiha...

Ah Jiu's only remaining hope was Yi Xuan. Ah Jiu knew that Yi Xuan was a hero, a hero who could protect the world without the Light Magic Stone.

"Yixuan, aren't you home? ...Then I've really made a wasted trip."

"Wherever you are, please don't become a strange person like everyone else... I'm begging you."

Ah Jiu's tone was humble and tinged with sobs. Hearing this, Yi Xuan behind the door was heartbroken. He couldn't understand what absurd things could have happened to make the originally innocent and carefree girl say words that were almost like crying.

Yixuan really wanted to open the door and have a proper talk with Ajiu. He knew that he might be one of the few adults Ajiu could rely on, even if it was just a few words, just to be able to comfort that kind girl with a broken heart.

But Yixuan is different, because he is an adult, and adults have to make choices.

To protect one side, one must sacrifice the other; it's a choice made out of necessity. Unable to change or resist, Yixuan, having already battled fate several times, has gained a profound understanding of this that transcends life and death.

"I'm sorry, A-Jiu... I'm so sorry."

“You don’t need to blame yourself, Zeta. It’s already very brave of you to come to me and try to make amends after realizing you’ve done something wrong.”

“I’ll have someone handle Ajiu’s matter. What’s more important now is to tell me what’s been going on between you and Yaohui lately.”

Ichihyun moved to the new house in Tsuchiya as arranged by the Magicians Guild. He originally planned to tidy up before entertaining his friends, but to Ichihyun's surprise, the first guest to arrive at the new house was Zeta, who was all alone.

"The relationship between me and Haruki... has been built up with resentment for a long time, but I naively thought that Haruki would handle everything. I didn't help Haruki when he needed help the most."

"I was too arrogant... I ignored Haruki's feelings too many times. I'm sorry, Haruki, I'm really sorry."

A giant of light from another world, possessing superpowers capable of shaking heaven and earth, radiating a brilliance comparable to the sun, Zeta was once the supreme powerhouse in the eyes of countless people, including Yixuan.

Now, Zeta sat dejectedly in his chair, his eyes dim and empty, his crystal chest dull and lifeless. He had none of the superhuman aura he once possessed, and instead looked like a sad and regretful boy.

“But it’s not too late. We still have a chance to reconcile with Haruki, Zeta. I will help you. You are not alone in facing this.”

“But before that, I need you to tell me all the changes that have happened to Haruki. If we want to help him, we must know what he really needs.”

Zeta was also pondering this question: what exactly does Haruki need?

From his initial intention to fight against Genra and protect the world, to now being willing to go against the world to move forward alone, how much has Haruki changed? Will he ever become the person Zeta knew again?

"Yaohui told me that he wanted to protect this world, even if it meant paying a terrible price..."

……

"At this point, nothing you say will make a difference."

Huilia shoved the approaching Nackle alien to the ground, showing no patience for his various arguments.

The island ruins have been completely taken over by Huilia. With Luo Yi's help and the enhancement of Belial's Twilight magic, Huilia's control over them can even surpass that of Grandi.

The cell where the Nackle aliens were imprisoned was dimly lit. Whalia stood in the center of the room, using her shadow to completely block the Nackle aliens' bodies. Whalia never showed any sympathy when dealing with criminals.

"If you want to suffer less, don't waste my time. Just answer my questions, I don't want to repeat myself."

"There's no need for this, Earthling, we can cooperate... Ah!"

For mortals, even a mere graze from the demonic blade is enough to cause injury. If Huilia wished, he could take the life of the otherworldly being before him with ease.

The wound on Nackle's arm was merely a warning; he chose to remember Huilia's words with pain.

Huilia moved too fast, and there was too little light. The Nackle alien saw nothing before the pain struck his brain, while the monster who caused all this was still holding the ghost sword and continuing to approach him.

“Answer me, what do you know about the ‘Duke’?”

"All I know is that he's called 'Duke' and is a black market merchant. I bought equipment and summoning devices from him, but I really don't know anything else. We were just business partners."

"Then how did you get here?"

“I set off with other hunters, paid for the trip, and entered the teleportation station. All I knew was that there was a planet where I could catch monsters to sell for money. I was just following the crowd from beginning to end. I had no other intentions toward this planet. I’m not lying.”

"Paying money to suffer is like being a sucker."

Seeing the Nackle alien trembling all over, Huilia knew he couldn't get anything else from the Nackle alien.

This Nackle alien probably didn't even know he was being sold out, blindly following the crowd and joining a tour group.

Another fool blinded by the pursuit of profit in the mouths of others.

"Alright, I understand. You're done here. Just wait here, and I'll arrange for you to go back and face the consequences later."

Turn on the lights and put away the knife. The room was filled with light, and everything around was set up in a scene familiar to the Nackle aliens. Such a modern room was clearly not a product of this world.

"Where am I? Why does this place look so much like the structure of a spaceship cabin? Am I in outer space?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I only let you off easy because the captured monster wasn't seriously injured. Don't push your luck."

"How could those monsters possibly get hurt? My skills are top-notch. Only a low-level hunter would make the mistake of scratching their fur."

The Nackle aliens' single-mindedness was met only with Huilia's cold stare, a gaze that sent chills down their spines. The fear from earlier still lingered within them.

Is this Earthling with a knife a demon? How did he manage to glare with such murderous intent?

"Stay here and you'll be fine. Remember what I said."

"What are you pretending for? You're just an Earthling. Without Ultraman's protection, you're nothing. You think you're so great because you have a magic sword? Hmph, I'll buy one when I'm rich."

After Huilia left, the Nackle alien muttered to himself in the room. He felt that nothing good had happened to him lately. He had worked hard for so long and spent a lot of money, only to get nothing in return. Instead, he had been captured and injured. It was really...

"Huh? Where's my injury? It was just hurting a moment ago, how did it suddenly disappear?"

"What exactly happened? Was it done by an Earthling? How did they manage to do it?"
