Chapter 584: Zero and Belia (I)

"Wait, Xiao Lu, say it again, what did you just say? Did I not hear it clearly?" Zero looked at the familiar human figure on the other side of the screen in disbelief, and asked uncertainly, "Did you just say that my father Seven and I are both sick???"

"Um, that's not what I meant, Senior Zero. Actually, what I meant is that this is not a disease in the traditional sense. The Kingdom of Light doesn't seem to have any research in this area, but..."

Zero's expression was extremely shocked, even more shocked than when he saw Ultra Father's self-criticism written to Belia.

You know, in a sense, Zero is actually Ultraman Geed, also known as Xiao Lu, the guide on the road of Ultra Warrior.

In the Crisis Impact, Zero and many Ultra Warriors of the Land of Light once again fought fiercely with Ultraman Belia, who was accidentally resurrected by them before. Zero, who was tracking Belia, launched an unprecedentedly fierce final battle with him in "SideEarth" in SideSpace.

The fierce battle ended with both sides suffering losses, but Zero was still seriously injured by Belia's fierce attack, and the Shield of Paraji was also damaged.

It was under such circumstances that Zero dragged his wounded body into the world of Asakura Riku.
I became one with the man named Ren on Earth and made him my human body.

On the Earth in the Frontier Universe, as a comrade-in-arms of Ultraman Geed, he fought against Belia and his servant, the Strum alien Fushioide K.

As a senior of the Kingdom of Light, he guides this boy who has Belia's genetic genes.

Teacher and friend, guide, senior, comrade and partner, all these adjectives are not out of place when applied to Zero and Geed.

In Zero's heart, although Zeta might be his first true "apprentice", Xiao Lu must be his first "student" who was brought up by him.
Facing the "attack" mentioned by his "student", Zero felt as if he was unable to recover from the discomfort.

However, unlike Zero, after hearing Xiao Lu's "attack" on Zero and his father Seven, and hearing him say that the father and son had "psychological problems", Belia's originally indifferent face suddenly showed a hint of curiosity.

Although he was not the real father of Zedd, but as a father in a parallel universe, Belia still felt a little excited that Xiao Lu in front of the screen could say such words.
He glanced at Zero with disdain and said calmly, "Why are you reacting so strongly? I think what Xiao Lu said makes sense. If I were still serving in the Space Guard, you and your father would definitely be the focus of my attention, because you really look like people with mental problems.

Also, what's that expression on your face? Can't you hear any objection?
Just like you in the Land of Light always think that everyone in the universe, such as me, Belia, Tregear, or others, are "sick" and should be "cured" by you in the Land of Light.
Does that mean that only you people from the Kingdom of Light are qualified to make a "diagnosis", and others cannot make a "diagnosis" about you people from the Kingdom of Light?

Don't be so overbearing! Cero! "

After giving Zero a lecture as if to vent his anger and teach him something, Belia turned his head and looked at the screen again. He looked at his 'son' Xiao Lu from the parallel universe, and then at his 'adopted son' Castor from the parallel universe.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that he should do something. You know, Ken had taken over everything in the Kingdom of Light. Even though the Kingdom of Light was not a place that valued family, the protection that Ken could provide to his descendants still existed.
In comparison, if he didn't do something, there wouldn't be much left for his two 'sons'.

Belia looked at Zero thoughtfully. He vaguely remembered hearing someone mention that Zero had his own team in other universes outside of the Kingdom of Light.
Just as Belia began to think and Zero was in shock, Castor looked at Xiao Lu helplessly. This guy spoke too quickly. If possible, he thought he should at least correct this bad habit.
Otherwise, he would probably often fall into this embarrassing situation.

At this moment, Xiao Lu was scratching his head frantically.
Obviously, he also realized that his description was somewhat "hurtful". He thought for a long time and didn't know how to describe the kind of mental problems and psychological illnesses that might be inherited from the family of Seven and his son.

Moreover, this was originally what he said when he was chatting with Castor. He really hadn't done any in-depth research yet. He blurted it out only out of curiosity and worry about Zero.

Xiao Lu felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward and was at a loss. Fortunately, Casto spoke up, "Sero, maybe it's hard for you to understand, but don't you realize that whether it's a family inheritance or not, there are some problems between you and your father."

"I don't know what Seven was thinking at the time. Was it because he was too busy, or because he had an indescribable resistance to family affection, or even because he learned some bad education methods on Earth?

In short, don't you realize that if you stand at this point in time and look back at your childhood growth experience, you can easily realize that you and your father Seven both have some psychological problems. "

"After you were born, your father concealed the relationship between you and him, which led to you thinking that you were an orphan without family for a long time.

In fact, you may not realize that this type of upbringing has a very similar name on Earth, "poor upbringing." Of course, in terms of details, the "poor upbringing" on Earth and your father's "orphan-style education" are actually very different.

The legendary "poor upbringing" on Earth conceals one's family conditions, making children mistakenly believe that their family's economic conditions are very bad, and letting children grow up in a "poor and humble" state.

However, if we talk about the roots, your father’s training of you is actually similar to the training on Earth, or even the same.”

Castor looked at Zero who was stunned by what he said, sighed, and then sorted out the thoughts in his mind, as if he was talking to Zero, or to Xiao Lu, or maybe to Belia, and said seriously,
“The core of these two educational methods is actually an educational philosophy, which is to cultivate their independence and independent, grateful and other mentalities through restrictions.

On Earth, this kind of restriction is mostly achieved through material conditions, but in the Kingdom of Light, it is impossible to achieve material restrictions. If you want to achieve this, you can only properly control social relations.

Just like your father's. Hiding the fact that he is your father.

The logic behind this educational method is that they believe that through such restrictions, children can develop hard work, self-control, sense of responsibility and independence.

They feel that by letting their children experience a certain degree of so-called "poverty," they can help them better understand the hardships of life, learn to cherish what they have, and be better able to face the challenges of society in the future."

"I cannot deny that this kind of upbringing may be a last resort under certain conditions. Compared to spoiling, this kind of upbringing may have some advantages. But this behavior is even more outrageous than forcing yourself to endure hardships. This kind of upbringing even makes you think you are an orphan. I can only say..."

Castor thought for a long time, and finally came to an obvious conclusion, "I can only say that in the Kingdom of Light, your father, Mr. Seven, who raised his son in poverty,

This is only true in the Kingdom of Light. If it were on Earth, it would be a representation of some kind of horrible family culture. I really can't think of any logic in letting your son grow up as an orphan in the Kingdom of Light."

"Even if your father appeared in front of me now and gave me a thousand reasons, I would only tell him one thing, that is, he should have his brain checked. Perhaps his abnormal love for the earth has affected his judgment of feelings."

"And you, the most 'miracle' warrior among the younger generation of the Kingdom of Light, grew up in that kind of childhood. It is really hard for me to imagine that your body and mind were completely healthy while you were growing up.
In fact, there are many orphans in the Land of Light, especially in your father's generation, there are many war orphans. Among the Ultra Brothers alone, there are several orphans. Maybe this is one of the reasons why your father tried to let you grow up as an orphan.

However, it is obvious that Seven's education of you was a failure, judging from the fact that you almost became a rare criminal in the Kingdom of Light.
Even though the Kingdom of Light has a complete social training and education system for orphans, and this system has created countless stories about the Kingdom of Light, in a sense it does prove that the Kingdom of Light is a model of socialized upbringing,

However, if I only look at you, Zero, I can only say that the way your father, Seven, trained you has indeed caused you some very long-lasting harm that you yourself have not noticed yet."

"To a certain extent, due to improper handling, this kind of training method has caused you to actually form some incorrect worldviews, becoming a rare outlier in the education system of the Kingdom of Light. It even gave you some inferiority complex and bad social skills."

Castor said a lot. Not only Zero, but even Xiao Lu and Belia were stunned by Castor's seemingly "prepared" speech. In fact, their guess was correct. Castor was indeed "prepared".
However, it was not his red card that was "prepared", but the blue card next door, which was being prepared in Tregear at TPC. For them, why Seven let Zero grow up like an orphan is indeed a question worth studying.

Cero was stunned and stood there. Then, the more he thought about it, the more speechless he became. He was not angry with his father Seven. In fact, he had already passed that stage.

He simply felt an emotion without any reason, which appeared in his mind in a helpless and even absurd way.
It was like he wanted to do something, but he didn't know what to do.
Even in this extremely speechless situation, he felt as if he wanted to... laugh out loud?
As for why Zero didn't laugh, it was because, before he laughed, Belia laughed first.
Zero looked at Belia, who was pointing at him and laughing so hard, and thought for a while, then sighed, because he was even more speechless.
"To be honest, I wouldn't be so speechless no matter who laughs at me, but you, Belia, laughed at me about my family education. Although I know you are not the Belia I am familiar with, it still makes me feel that this world is so absurd." "Ahahahaha, this is too funny, Zero Castor, tell me honestly, is this my nemesis in other universes?
To be honest, I didn't know much about the things between you and your father, and I didn't think about why your father made you feel like an orphan. But when Castor said that, I suddenly found it funny. Is this the education method that the most resourceful Ultra Brother under Ken came up with? !

Ahahahaha, Castor, tell me honestly, compared to him, am I a perfect father?"

"Hey! Old Bei, you should make it clear that I am red, not blue." Castor shrugged, "But your son did tell me in his mind that he admitted that you are better than Sai Wenjiao, at least that was the case before you went to prison."

"Ahahahaha, Zed, huh? Your biological father is dead anyway, so just treat me as your dad. Listen to me, do I think my opinion is okay? Ahahahahaha!!!"

"Well, I don't mind calling you dad, but the problem is, aren't you afraid that Senior Zero will get angry?" Xiao Lu silently looked at Zero who didn't say a word. Based on his understanding of Zero, if nothing unexpected happened, the other party would already want to hit him.

Zero didn't act like an adult, but he felt a little redundant now.

Originally, he thought that he was Xiao Lu's "senior" and Belia's "enemy", so he should have a chance to speak here.

But now, the situation here is that the father of the parallel universe, the adopted son of the parallel universe and the biological son of the parallel universe, the three of them are happy together, at least they seem to be happy together.
He had just been diagnosed with a tragic family background and a severely traumatic childhood.

Zero looked at Castor again, and Castor had actually planned to terminate the communication directly because of the current atmosphere. Zero was about to speak when Castor said, "Why don't you send a message if you have anything to say? I will discuss it with Tregear later."

After saying that, Castor's hand moved in the direction of ending the call. Seeing this, Zero hurriedly said, "Wait! I still have questions! Uncle Castor, you just mentioned so many questions, so what should I do?!

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

Please give me a solution."

Castor was stunned for a moment. This was the first time that someone actually took the initiative to seek help from him. After thinking for a while, Castor said,

"If it were on Earth, the restrictive nature of raising children in poverty would likely lead to a series of psychological problems in children, including damaged self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and social barriers.

A family environment that is under long-term financial pressure may cause children to feel inferior, and this feeling may intensify as they grow older, affecting their self-confidence and self-worth.

Raising children in poverty may bring additional psychological burden to children, making them worry about the family's financial situation, leading to anxiety and depression, which may have a negative impact on their studies, interpersonal relationships and future career development.

Due to a lack of resources to participate in a variety of social activities, children may find it difficult to build a wide circle of friends, which may affect their social skills and emotional regulation ability.

To deal with these psychological issues, if I were on Earth I would have them seek out emotional support, encourage positive self-talk, practice stress management techniques, and create a stable and supportive social environment whenever possible."

At this point, Castor looked at Zero and sighed, "But you are different. You are one of the best warriors in the Land of Light. Even among your generation, you don't even need the title of one of the best. If you were an Earthling, theoretically you would have completed your self-salvation treatment, but as a citizen of the Land of Light..."

"So I can only take it one step at a time," Zero said, unable to accept it. "In fact, I have noticed some of the things you mentioned before, Uncle Castor, but I thought it was just my personality. For example, I am always very proud. But according to what you said, could this also be a kind of inferiority complex?"

Castor looked at Zero with some surprise. He didn't expect that Zero's brain could draw inferences from one instance. After thinking for a while, Castor turned his head to look at Belia on the other side of the screen and said seriously, "Old Belia, I'm not from the Land of Light. I can't understand some of the emotions and behaviors of the Ultraman family in the Land of Light very clearly, but you were born in the Land of Light. If it were you, you should understand how to make Zero better, right?"

After saying this, Castor quickly ended the communication because he was afraid that Zero would rely on him. If that were the case, he would have no choice but to send Torrekia to face Zero.

Looking at the extinguished screen, Zero was at a loss as to what to say. He just felt a little empty.

This might be the first time in Zero's life that someone pointed out his problems, but the other party had absolutely no interest in educating him.

As a rare "spiritual young man" in the Kingdom of Light, Zero's growth is basically accompanied by the so-called "error correction".

When he was in school, teachers and classmates kept trying to correct him. As a rebellious teenager, he rebelled against them.
When he was sent to the Leo brothers for "reformation labor", he also resisted their training, until he broke through his limits and began to fight for the Kingdom of Light and Belia.

After that, he recognized his father. In fact, after that, he also accepted the correction from his biological father Seven.
At the same time, as a formal soldier, he has been corrected by various people, various realities and various problems in various missions and battles with Beria.

It can be said that Zero's growth is opposite to that of other Ultra Warriors.
The other Ultra Warriors all received education in the Land of Light first, completed their ideological education, and then improved their combat abilities.

But when Zero began to make up for his deficiencies in thinking, he had actually almost reached the highest point in combat.
To some extent, the growth that Zero gained after leaving Leo Brothers was to correct the education and concepts that he lacked in his childhood.
This method is actually very suitable for Ultraman Zero. When he fought side by side with Geed, he had become a qualified and mature Ultraman Warrior after a long period of correction.

Even his face is much gentler than when he was young. (In fact, Tsuburaya modified Zero's suit.)

Unlike what Castor thought, Zero no longer resists learning and correcting his mistakes. On the contrary, he is very positive about changing himself and making himself better.
But the problem was that his Uncle Castor only pointed out the problems but did not intend to correct them.

What's even more outrageous is that the other party seems to have chosen to hand him over to Belia.
It's not that Castor ignored Cero on purpose. In fact, Tregear should be interested, and Blue Card should also be interested in Cero if he is not busy. Even he himself has no objection to Cero. If it was before, he would also be willing to let Cero come to TPC. Even if he himself cannot help him, then Sawai and Iruma Megumi will also find a way to help him.

But the problem is, there is already a Torrekia, and now there is a little Luke. If there is one more Zero, TPC really can't accommodate so many aliens.

You know, TPC is very busy now. The arrangements for Tregear in the midst of their busy schedule have already exhausted the brain cells of Sawai and Masaki Keigo. The addition of Xiao Lu has already made them a little dissatisfied, and they really can't have another Zero.

Moreover, Castor felt that Belia should be able to help Zero.

Although Belia himself is not very mentally sound, you have to know that Belia could be considered the deputy captain of the Space Guard before.

What does the position of deputy captain of the Space Guard mean?

You have to know that before the appearance of the Blue Card, there were no psychology-related positions in the Kingdom of Light, or even a similar concept. Therefore, the task of motivating and comforting the soldiers would fall on the leaders of all levels of the Space Guard.
For example, in the classic line of Ultraman: "Ace, stand up!", this is actually the simplest form of motivation.
Beria had naturally done this kind of work.
Of course, in addition to the fact that he was too busy and Belia had experience, Castor wanted to focus on Xiao Lu, which was also the reason why he ignored Zero.

After all, Xiao Lu is his half-brother.

And you have to know that Xiao Lu is a native of Earth. The concepts of Earthlings are more direct and clearer to him.
Not only that, before this, Xiao Lu's thoughts and reflections on his father and the various things his father had caused were also rare in the Kingdom of Light.
In this way, when both he and TPC were too busy, and out of selfishness, Castor decisively chose to focus on Xiao Lu.

He made the decision to throw Zero's problem to Belia, which did not go against his conscience.
