Ultraman: Old Tom was actually a tsundere

Chapter 20 gave us so much!

Herberos saved his life, and Xia Yu wouldn't let it be harmed.

He reacted quickly, grabbing the light ring back into his hand.

A strange force field instantly took control of him, forcing him to release his grip.

"Don't do anything reckless."

Helpless, Xia Yu pulled out the Eye of Torregia to show off.

Renlong didn't react much, and the light ring quickly arrived in front of it.

After letting out a few low growls, the phantom of Herberos materialized and called out as if in response.

The emerald green orb suddenly emitted light, enveloping the light ring within it.

Xia Yu squinted, unable to look directly at it. He could only feel a huge amount of energy constantly drilling into the light ring.

An absurd idea popped into his mind, and he gripped the Eye of Torregia tightly.

Transform now, what are you waiting for?

It wants to eliminate your armed forces; the next step is to deal with you.

"Shut up, I haven't settled accounts with you yet."

Xia Yu waited patiently.

Soon after, the light dimmed, and a flawless monster-shaped light ring floated back into Xia Yu's palm.

The solidified Herberos suddenly emerged from the surface of the light ring, running and jumping happily and affectionately on Xia Yu's body.

"Just as I thought."

Xia Yu bowed solemnly to Ren Long.

"I won't thank you enough for a great favor, and I will do what I said I would do."

Renlong nodded humanely and opened his mouth.

A white sphere flew out and landed in front of Xia Yu.

"?"

Renlong's meaning is that he wants Xia Yu to accept it.

If Renlong wanted to harm him, he should have just taken direct action; there was no need to go through all this trouble.

Xia Yu took the sphere off without much thought.

The white light dissipated, revealing a transparent sphere about the size of a ping-pong ball in my hand; I had no idea what it was.

Splash!

The sound of water rose up, and the Ren Dragon dived back underwater and disappeared.

Looking at the sphere in his hand and the cheerful Herberos, Xia Yu felt like he was dreaming.

It was a close call, but no real danger.

On his way back, he sensed the power of Herberos.

A dark red slash instantly struck the ground, and a dark red energy sphere brought him back to the ground in a flash.

The whole process took less than ten seconds!

"The complete version of the Monster Ring of Light's power?"

Seeing that no one was around, he quickly ran away.

The gains this time were significant. First, the monster ring Herberos was unexpectedly repaired by Renlong.

Xia Yu is preparing to find an opportunity to try and summon the full version of the giant monster.

Secondly, they gave me a round bead.

Xia Yu guessed that this thing might be Renlong's dragon pearl.

Anyway, this was the first time he had seen this thing. He remembered that the dragon's forehead was inlaid with dragon jade.

Why Renlong gave him this thing is unknown.

The only downside is that Galactron MK2 and Thunderstorm haven't been fixed.

Is it because it wasn't shown to Renlong?

"Speaking of which, why did Renlong do that? Why did he trust a human on their first meeting?"

After thinking for a long time, Xia Yu came to a possible conclusion.

Perhaps it was because Herberos was protecting himself that this scene touched Renlong.

Renlong has a good relationship with other monsters on Earth and has the air of a monster king.

This also explains why she helped Herberos.

Another possibility is that Renlong prepaid Xia Yu, allowing him to use the power of Herberos to achieve what he called human atonement.

To be honest, Xia Yu felt that his reasoning was not very reliable.

Renlong paid a heavy price this time; strictly speaking, it suffered a great loss.

It got bombed again and consumed a lot of energy, why?

There may be deeper reasons behind this that Xia Yu is unaware of.

Oh well, who knows? Anyway, Anran is back.

Upon thinking of this, Xia Yu's expression immediately darkened.

"Tregear, is there something you want to tell me?"

【Huh? What?】

"Why did the monster detector suddenly explode?" If I could see Tregear, I would have dragged him out and given him a good beating.

[You probably did something wrong, why are you asking me?]

"Still pretending?" Xia Yu laughed angrily. "This is your plan? To give me an explosive monster detector, so I can spiral into the sky at any time?"

I don't know what you're talking about.

"Heh, don't think I don't know your plans."

"There's a high probability that I'll be near a monster when I use the monster detector. With this explosion, the chances of me being targeted increase infinitely. At that point, I'll have no choice but to rely on your power. That's your plan, isn't it?"

Are you overthinking this?

"Of course, your plan might also fail. If I'm not mistaken, there's a problem with the list of materials you gave me, such as choosing inferior materials that couldn't withstand the high-pressure energy, ultimately leading to a short circuit and explosion."

"Simply put, the longer it is open, the greater the probability of it exploding."

"The outcome is purely a matter of luck."

"The worst outcome would be that I'd be disgusted, right?"

After a long silence, Toregia let out a sinister laugh. "You knew you couldn't hide it from me. Now you understand the consequences of offending me, don't you?"

I told you you'd regret this; this is just a warning.

"Um."

Xia Yu's expression suddenly changed, and he walked into the kitchen with a blank look on his face.

This unusual phenomenon gave Torregia a sense of foreboding.

What are you doing with that kitchen knife?

Thump, thump, thump—the rhythmic sound of chopping bones echoed from the kitchen.

Xia Yu threw away the dull knife and skillfully picked up a new one.

Heat oil in a wok, then add water, sugar, salt, MSG, garlic, scallions, and ginger.

He skillfully sprinkled the seasonings evenly into the pot, and then, under Toregia's watchful eyes, threw in the Eye of Toregia as well!

pat.

The pot was covered, and the Eye of Torregia was submerged in the seasoned broth.

"Are you fucking crazy?" Torregia was furious. Why does Xia Yu always act unpredictably?

Is this an insult to my transformation tool?

Did you think I would give in? You're kidding.

--------

Okay, it's a bit dirty.

Come on, let me out and we'll have a one-on-one fight.

After simmering the soup for half an hour, Xia Yu mechanically scooped out the Eye of Torregia.

Seeing that he was about to open his mouth and start biting, Torregia finally couldn't resist anymore.

Stop, stop, stop, that's enough, okay?

I was wrong in this matter, and I apologize.

"I didn't force you." Xia Yu stopped and casually tossed the Eye of Torregia into the pool to wash it briefly.

[Wasn't it you who broke your promise first? If you had kept your promise, I would have fixed the monster detector's flaws.]

Xia Yu reopened the pot lid, and Torregia immediately shut up.

"Make me a new one, and I'll test it for bugs."

"If a similar situation occurs again," Xia Yu said with a smile, "would you like to smell the toilet?"

Torregia was speechless.

How can there be such disgusting humans?!

Xia Yu thought to himself, "This is nothing. Human strength can't compare to yours, but your filthy heart has no limits that you can't even imagine."

Um, I'm not probably insulting myself.

"Having received benefits from Renlong, I have to help him no matter what."

He approached me and explained his thoughts, which surprised me greatly.
