Chapter 585: Zero and Belia (Part )

After being hung up by Castor, Zero tried several times in a row, and even used the communicators of other outposts to try to transfer to Castor, but the results were the same. It seemed that the other party had directly turned on the "Do Not Disturb Mode" and directly blocked all incoming calls from this universe.

This situation made Zero feel a little bit at a loss. He was supposed to be carrying out the mission of hunting down Genezaku, but the appearance of Castor and others directly pulled him out of that mission.
Even the news that Gagra himself was holding a position on that Earth declared that the mission was "over" to some extent.

After the Kingdom of Light started the battle against the Interstellar Alliance in this universe, Zero actually no longer needed to go to that Earth to look after Zeta in the short term.

However, in the battle against the Interstellar Alliance in this universe, the Kingdom of Light is originally a learner. Just like the document that Ultra Father had previously pinned to the top of the internal communications of the Kingdom of Light, what the Kingdom of Light has to do in this universe is not to "command" and "save", but to "watch" and "learn".
Zero had to admit that he was not good at studying alone.
Whether it was then or now, whether he was exploring his potential under the training of the Leo brothers, or trying to master the time ability under the glorious posture in the space of the "Guardian of Time",
He is a person who needs to be led by others.
This may be because he did not receive a complete self-learning education due to his rebelliousness since childhood, or it may be because his personality is naturally jumpy and not suitable for self-learning.

But all in all, Zero himself had long realized that he was not someone who could learn on his own.

However, he is no longer the person who took things one step at a time. Under the education of his father and others, he has understood the importance of planning ahead. In fact, he has made some plans for himself in his heart.
He had even thought about who he would look for to train him if he was at a disadvantage in the battle with Tartarus. He even thought of two groups of people who could train him.
One is a little-known super-powerful Ultraman—Sage Jonias of U40.
The other one should be said to be a pair of brothers, that is, the warriors who have experienced a long period of security work under the King of Ultra - the Leo brothers,
Zero had made arrangements for his future training early on, but these arrangements were obviously not something he could complete in this universe. When he entered this universe, everything he had originally planned was no longer useful.

With this kind of thinking in mind, subconsciously, Zero really looked at Belia, the Belia who came from a parallel universe, who showed his extraordinary talents and was somewhat different from the Belia in his memory.

Feeling Zero's gaze, Belia subconsciously wanted to sneer, but when he really saw the uneasiness and impatience in Zero's eyes, he restrained his mocking attitude and revealed a trace of dissatisfaction, "Zero, so Castor asked me to teach you how to make yourself better. Don't you have any objection to this matter?"

"Um, no. Although it's a little strange, I have to admit, Belia, that you have shown enough talent in the battle with the Interstellar Alliance to make me believe in your talents, so why shouldn't I learn from you?" Zero answered very seriously, "Even if, I mean if, if we still have to fight in the end, then wouldn't I have more advantages after learning from you?"

Belia nodded. He could understand Zero's logic, but he was still a little annoyed and threw a beam of light into the sky. Then he said, "But don't forget, if we are really enemies in most universes, then logically, why should I help you?"

"In fact, I really feel that your generation of people from the Land of Light is disgusting. Of course, I am different from that guy Tregear.
He questioned you warriors from the perspective of your combat capabilities. He lost the simplest and most primitive fighting methods in his memory and began to use some powers that did not belong to him.

He felt that this was an "insult" to the Space Guard. Of course, I think this was mainly because he did not join the Space Guard back then, so he deified the Space Guard instead.

In comparison, Tregear, who uses the power of the evil god himself, is the most fundamentalist in the selection of members of the Space Guard. The members of the Space Guard he wants to see are actually the concepts that Ken and I originally planned when we established this organization.
But the problem is that Ken and I actually admitted that the rules for selecting the Space Guard need to be updated and should not be too dogmatic and formalistic, but Tregear is still clinging to what we wrote back then."

"I am different from him. I have always believed that power is power. As long as you can master that power, then no matter it is a weapon or a prop, or even something like an evil god, as long as you can control them, you can use them. There is no such thing as 'own' power or 'external' power.

In my mind, even in those competitions, as long as you can bear it, then there is no problem with using so-called "stimulants". "

Belial's words made Zero feel confused. On the one hand, he didn't know what Belial wanted to say, but on the other hand, he heard Belial's radical attitude towards strength, and soon he realized who Belial wanted to criticize.

"I have no scruples about the use of power, just like those behind you, Zero, the Time Guardian, the Light of Noah, or even more mysterious powers. They don't matter to me. You can defeat me in a parallel universe, which means that I in that parallel universe didn't do enough. This is only natural."

Belia paused for a moment, then suddenly became excited, "But! What I cannot accept about your generation of the Land of Light is that you are opportunistic in terms of power! Why do you even want to rely on others for the growth of your thoughts!?"

"I even wonder if the Space Guard system should not have been established. Don't you have any initiative at all?"

"Is there anything wrong with taking advantage of other people's strengths and advantages?" Zero felt that his only improvement over the years was his increased ability to learn. He got a little angry when Belia said that. He retorted, "I went from being a person who was not good at learning to being a good learner. How do you know the benefits of this?!"

"So what you mean is that what the Land of Light needs is not newer things, but constant copying of Ken? Copying the Ultra Brothers? Or even copying me and Tregear? Do you think this will make the Land of Light better?!"

Although Belia's tone was sarcastic, his eyes were serious. "Castor said that you had problems because of the education you received in your childhood, so you admitted it? Have you really thought about it?!"

Sero was silent for a moment, then said, "I've thought about it."

"I'm not talking about your kind of idiotic thinking that just stands there and thinks for a while. I'm talking about deeper thinking!!" Belia looked at Zero for a while, and finally couldn't help cursing, "Even when I was in prison, I knew to refer to other news from the Kingdom of Light, and I knew to ask Castor to send me the latest developments in the universe every once in a while.
You have hands and feet, and no one in this universe can stop you. In this situation, you just stand there for a while and think you have finished thinking?!"

"You've thought about shit! The depth of your thinking! Not even as deep as when I just left the Kingdom of Light!"

Zero opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Belia seemed to be getting annoyed and became irritable. "Castor thinks your father's way of educating you has had some influence on you. I don't deny it, but I don't think it's a big deal."

"You want me to follow that kid's method to give you some care, some emotional support? Don't even think about it!! I have my own sons!! Two of them!!
Now, either you go back to the Kingdom of Light and find your father Seven, let him love you well, and cry in his arms. Or, this universe is so big! ! If you have the ability, go find the answer yourself! ! "

Before Zero could say anything, Belia flew away, cursing as he flew, "I'm already busy, facing another 'me', and now you're wasting my time on these crap?! If Ken ridicules me for losing to another 'me', Zero, you're dead!!"

Watching Belia flying farther and farther away, Zero was stunned for a moment, then silently dialed the communication in the outpost again, but this time, he did not communicate with the universe where Castor was, but with another universe, and the recipient of the communication was his master Leo.

Leo is an Ultra Brother and the guard of King Ultra. Just as Castor knew before, due to the nature of his work, he is often unable to stay in the Kingdom of Light. At the same time, due to the nature of his work, he needs to communicate with the Kingdom of Light. Therefore, he not only has the ability to communicate directly with the Kingdom Star where King Ultra is, but also has the ability to communicate directly with other Ultra Warriors.

The communication interface slowly unfolded as the magical cloak given to Leo by the King of Ultra, and the image of Zero appeared in front of Leo, and the images of Leo's brothers naturally appeared in front of Zero, and then, Zero was stunned.

Because he saw the planet where Brother Leo had trained himself, and also saw the armor that was used to restrain himself. His master Leo was wearing that armor at the moment, breathing heavily.

Zero hesitated for a moment, then nodded to the opposite side. With the sound of "creaking" of armor, Leo also nodded to Zero. The two sides greeted each other.

"Hu~~Hu~~" Leo looked at his 'favorite student', panting and half-jokingly said, "Luckily, Zero, you contacted me suddenly, otherwise I wouldn't have found such a reason to take a break."

Hearing his master's tired voice, Zero said hesitantly, "Master, are you training now?"

"That's about it. I'll tell you the details later." Leo didn't intend to tell Zero about the logic of releasing the wildness from Red Superman that Castor had sent him. After thinking for a while, he warned his disciple, "This is very dangerous. I won't allow you to do this kind of training alone, so don't ask."

Leo's words did not have any other meaning. After all, the release of wildness was very dangerous for fighters like them.

Even he had to have his brother Astra watching before he dared to make such an attempt.

However, Leo's words sounded different to Zero, who had just been scolded by Belia and had no idea of ​​"self-learning".

It was as if even his own master Leo felt that he didn't know how to train and grow on his own.

"I" Zero suddenly felt dazed. He originally hoped to get some help from his master. He didn't know what kind of help he could get, but whether it was training, growth, or the direction of progress, he felt that his master could always give him some help in some aspects.

In fact, as a person who lost his hometown in the invasion, as a person who lost his comrades in the invasion, as a true "victim of war", if Zero really asked about the war or other things, Leo could really give him some guidance.
But by coincidence, Leo's words interrupted his initial thoughts.

After thinking about it, Zero chose not to talk about those things, but asked Castor about the question about education between him and his father.

As we all know, although Leo is Zero's master, he is actually also Seven's apprentice. As the person who has the best relationship with Seven and his son, if there is anyone who knows more about his education, Leo must be one of them.

After listening to what Zero said about the criticism between Seven and his son, and between his master Seven and his apprentice Leo, Leo was silent for a while, took a deep breath, waved to Astra standing next to him, signaling her to step aside, and then looked at Zero and said,

"I thought you would ask me this question earlier, but it's not too late to ask now." "So, Master, do you know?" There was inevitably some nervousness in Zero's tone, but more of curiosity, "Do you know why my father concealed our relationship and let me grow up as an orphan?"

"Of course, I do know that." Leo found a place to sit down. As he spoke, his thoughts went back to a long, long time ago.
In fact, when Zero was born, there were not many people who knew about the relationship between Zero and Seven. Apart from a few people in the Seven family, there were only the Ultra Brothers, Ultra Father and Ultra Mother.

Obviously, Zero is also a member of the Seven family. However, the Seven family has no right to interfere in Zero's education. There are not even many people who discuss with Seven.
But this is also normal. It's not because of some vulgar thing like "power" struggle, but simply because the so-called "family" in the Kingdom of Light is not the kind of "family" in the feudal tradition.
The Seven family is a big family, and the birth of a new family member does make everyone happy, but that's all. If Seven wants, he can naturally put part of Zero's education in the family. The family will provide special training for the members according to the characteristics of the Seven family.

But if Seven doesn't want to, no one will think it's a big deal. After all, this is the Kingdom of Light, and everyone here is independent.

However, unlike his own family, when it comes to education, Seven feels that he still needs to discuss it with the Ultra Brothers, Ultra Father, and Ultra Mother.

Everyone is of course equally happy and excited about the appearance of Ultraman Zero. After all, if Ultra Father is considered the first generation, then the Ultra Brothers are the second generation, and Ultraman Zero is the third generation among them.

Although they are also people with "universal love" and "great love", they are people who can treat all the people of the Kingdom of Light as their own children, as their own brothers and sisters,
However, although this kind of "little love" for the newly born and close third generation is a bit cheesy, it is also possessed by Ultra Father, Ultra Mother and the other Ultra Brothers.

Seven was also very happy about this situation at first. He could clearly feel the excitement of everyone for their child. He was also very excited to hear everyone discussing enthusiastically and imagining his son.
But gradually, those routines began to become a little strange.
For example, Taro, he shouted that he wanted Zero to take over his position as the chief instructor of the Space Guard in the future. After all, this position was previously held by Ultra Father, then by Seven, and now it is his. So if it belongs to Zero in the future, wouldn't that be perfect?

For another example, Ace was thinking whether he should also find a descendant, at least a child who could inherit his vision, and then let this generation unite and become the backbone of the Kingdom of Light just like his brothers.

Even people like Zoffy started to joke that since Zero also had Blue Tribe blood, could he become a versatile person like Hikari, who could do science and become an excellent warrior?
Leo, as a member of the Ultra Brothers, was also present. At that time, he proposed that Zero should become his student in the future. Of course, it turned out that only his idea was realized, although it was achieved through labor reform.

Everyone's imaginations are beautiful, which is actually normal. Everyone always has beautiful imaginations about the newly born offspring. Even Ultra Father and Ultra Father are only filled with the kind of relief of the older generation for such a scene, and do not have any reaction.

But Seven is different. If there is any difference between him and the other Ultra Brothers, it is that his love for the Earth and Earth's civilization, as well as the attention and research brought by his love, are the deepest.

This kind of attention and research is even more in-depth than that of other Ultra Brothers who have Earthling "bloodlines".

Seven, who had studied the history of human civilization on Earth in depth, felt a very strong, stress-like uneasiness about the situation at that time.

He didn't think that the Country of Light would become corrupt and degenerate because of such "little love", but he did instinctively feel wary and resistant to such a situation.

Now we have to talk about the "Ultra Spirit" again.

Just like what I said before, although in general, everyone abides by the concept called "Ultra Spirit",
However, in terms of specific understanding, different Ultra Warriors actually have different understandings of the "Ultra Spirit".

These differences are usually presented in more superficial ways such as "personality", "way of speaking", and "attitude towards making friends".
Normally, such different understandings of the "Ultra Spirit" seem to be just insignificant directions, such as Ace is a bit "bad-tempered", the first generation of Man is very "rational and calm", and Brother Zoffy is more "concerned about the overall situation".

However, at critical moments, different understandings of the "Ultra Spirit" will lead to some very obvious differences.

For example, Max and Seven behave differently when facing disputes similar to those between Earth civilizations, and when the Ultra Star flies towards the Earth, different Ultra Brothers behave differently, and they behave differently when dealing with the education of Ultraman Zero.

Seven showed obvious resistance to everyone's imagination. He wanted to say something and discuss with everyone some of his own ideas brought about by everyone's expression.
But at this moment, Taro suddenly changed the subject and mentioned other things. This change did stop Seven from discussing with everyone, but it also made him decide to hide the relationship between him and Zero, because Taro mentioned some things that happened between Torrekia and himself.
As Taro was chatting with everyone, he suddenly talked about his childhood experience of being excluded by his classmates. He was just inspired by the birth of Ultraman Zero, and jokingly told Ultra Father and others that he was a little "special" in his childhood because he was the son of a hero, and then he became friends with Torrekia.

There is nothing wrong with Taro's words. After all, although Seven's status cannot be compared with that of Ultra Father, in the eyes of ordinary people of the Land of Light, Seven is an absolute hero. In this case, Zero will inevitably receive similar "special treatment" as Taro.
In addition, Zero has a large group of "uncles" like them, the "Seven Family", and "grandparents" like Ultra Father and Ultra Mother. It is understandable that Taro joked that Zero would be ostracized by his classmates.

But this directly made Seven determined. He did not agree with the special treatment of the "offspring" in the Kingdom of Light. He did not agree with "exclusion" and he also did not agree with "exclusion".
With that in mind, Seven looked around and saw the first generation, who had the same expression as himself, and Jack, who showed a hint of discomfort in his eyes, although he did not show anything.
Leo clearly remembered that day, the originally happy "family gathering" turned into a conflict of ideas.
Seven brought together the First Generation and Jack, and began to criticize the others righteously. He did not approve of this kind of chat that was almost "corrupt". The First Generation and Jack agreed with Seven's words.
The first generation did this because of his absolute "rationality". You should know that he did not even allow "Hayata" to know his existence because he felt that it would interfere with Hayata's life. As such, he naturally felt that the current attitude of the people was not conducive to the growth of the next generation.

Jack's support for Seven comes from the part of his soul that should have been completely integrated with his own, the soul of Go Hideki, and his own experiences on Earth.

In fact, Jack gradually felt that Hideki Go lost his "humanity" in the tragedy and began to become "sacred". Good friends, lovers, childhood friends, and tragedies brought by humans, every pain made Hideki Go's human part disappear a little.
Jack knew how painful it was, and how cruel it was.

He actually didn't know how to change all this, but at that time he vaguely felt that perhaps the problems raised by his brother Seven were also one of the reasons for these mistakes and tragedies.

Just like that, in a rare move, a conflict occurred among the top leaders of the Kingdom of Light because of the birth of Ultraman Zero.

Under Seven's harsh criticism, people like Taro, Ace, Eddie and Princess Julian, who valued "affection" and "little love", showed an attitude completely opposite to Seven's.

This is also normal. Taro and Julian are the sons of Ultra Father and the princess of the royal family respectively. Although they are the victims of "special treatment", they have grown up and just smiled at their past experiences. They don't think it is as serious as Seven said.
As for Ace and Eddie, one was picked up by Zoffy and the other was Julian's childhood sweetheart. Because of their growth experiences, it is inevitable that they also attach great importance to kinship and family relationships.

All of a sudden, the crowd split into two groups.
Besides them, Zoffy, Ultra Father and Ultra Mother fell into deep thought. They felt that what Seven said was not unreasonable, but they also felt that the great love of the Kingdom of Light did not exclude small love.

The Kingdom of Light never said that they would completely abandon family relationships.
However, the inevitable "inheritance" and "favorable treatment" brought by the family, as well as the real "exclusion" mentioned by Taylor, are real.

In such a conflict, the Leo brothers, as the royal family of L77 and the only remaining members of L77, and also because of the special relationship between Leo and Seven, did not participate in the discussion.

After thinking about it, Leo finally turned to Zero and Seven's last words:

"I am a planetary observer. I have seen more civilizations than all of you, even more than Ultrafather. I have always wondered why many civilizations seem to have perfect systems at the beginning, but always collapse and weaken in the end," Seven said to everyone.

"I know that this is not fair to Zero, and I also know that this may not change anything. I even know that such a simple approach may be wrong, but I think that at least this is the fairest way for other people of the Land of Light."

Seven looked at the people in front of him. They were his closest family, his most trusted comrades, and true comrades. He absolutely believed that these people would not betray the ideals of the Ultra Spirit, nor would they let the Kingdom of Light become a collapsed and declining civilization.

However, in front of Seven's eyes, those pictures, the history and scenes he saw as a planetary observer, those stories he studied in depth, observed for hundreds and thousands of years, and recorded personally, kept flashing before his eyes like a replay.

Standing there, Seven didn't know whether the decision he was going to make next about Zero was the right one. He only knew what the wrong choices were among the civilizations he had seen.

Seven hugged Zero for the last time. He said in a painful but hopeful tone, "If one day in the future you think I did something wrong, you can criticize me, and I can also accept your attack on me, but I hope you understand that this is my hope for peace in the universe."

That was the last time Leo remembered that his master Seven met young Zero. Now, that Zero has grown up and stood in front of him.

Zero looked at his master Leo. He didn't expect that his father had concealed his relationship with him, and there was actually such a 'serious' past.
And when Zero understood all this, he suddenly felt a huge panic and worry.

"So. Did my father succeed or did he fail?" asked Cero.

Leo twisted his neck, and the binding armor launched a huge steam, making the screen foggy. Then he smiled at his apprentice and said casually,

"Who knows? As the only two 'parties' involved, perhaps you should ask yourself this question, right?"
