My countryman becomes Ultraman, I eat the soft rice of the middleman

After breakfast, I returned to Iruma Hui's apartment.

Link began flipping through today's newspaper, when suddenly a headline caught his eye.

"TPC plans to establish a branch on Kurara Island and require all residents on the island to move out?"

"Establish a branch? That's quite a trick!"

Link chuckled.

Of course he knows the routine of TPC.

To put it bluntly, establishing a branch is just an excuse for them to withdraw their personnel.

However, we want to keep it a secret from the island residents and avoid causing large-scale unrest.

This is the only relatively safe solution at present.

"TPC's crisis handling ability is still very strong, unlike the previous Neon, which only blamed others and bowed afterwards."

Link thought the matter was handled quite well.

Even if he were to take over, he might not be able to do better than TPC.

In contrast, Link was more concerned about the whereabouts of the two Gakumas.

After all, he was quite envious of Gakuma's petrifying light and rock skin.

Especially the rock skin, which has the same origin as Link's super defense. I don't know what powerful skill it will become after the fusion.

There is also the petrifying ray. Even though Kakuma seems to be very weak in using it, as long as there is enough energy to support it, the upper limit of this skill is actually very high.

However, with his current strength, it is no problem for him to kill a Gakuma alone.

But dealing with two at the same time is a bit difficult.

"We still have to go back to Marvel!"

After all, the level of the Marvel Universe is higher than that of the Ultra Universe, so naturally there are more opportunities to improve strength.

What's more, there is a girl in the Marvel Universe that he has always been thinking about.

He had to go back no matter what.

Link turned to the other side of the newspaper and another piece of news caught his eye.

Announcement from the Space Development Agency: The Giptas III space probe lost contact during its Jupiter exploration mission, and the current status of the three astronauts is unknown.

Link fell into deep thought: "This seems to be... the plot of Ligaderon!"

As far as he knew, after the fusion of Ligardron and the three astronauts, it already possessed the terrifying power of a super beast.

With his current strength, it would be difficult for him to defeat such a powerful opponent.

"Two Gakumas approaching the super beast level, plus a super beast level Ligaderon..."

Thinking of this, Link's expression gradually became solemn.

"Time is running out. Looks like we have to go back to Marvel now!"

After making up his mind, Link did not hesitate and immediately started the time travel.

[Ding! Crossing, start! ]

A long river of time and space appeared out of thin air, wrapped around Link's body, and then gradually faded into the void.

……

Rich soil mountain.

A long river of time and space appeared out of nowhere.

Immediately afterwards, Link's figure fell from the long river and landed successfully.

As soon as he landed, violent nuclear radiation rushed towards Link, trying to destroy him.

"Huh? I've been in the Ultra Universe for more than a month, and there's still no change here?"

Link activated energy absorption and super immunity, easily offsetting all the nuclear radiation.

However, Link looked confused.

Because he didn't quite understand the speed of time flow in the two universes.

There is jet lag even when taking a plane, so time travel should be possible.

[Ding! The time difference in the universe after time travel is two and a half seconds. No matter how long the host stays in this universe, only 2.5 seconds have passed in the other universe! ]

After the system's explanation, Link suddenly understood.

In other words, even if he stayed in the Marvel Universe for ten or eight years, only 2.5 seconds would pass when he returned to the Ultra Universe.

"Eh...if I use a bug, can I achieve another kind of immortality?"

Link's eyes suddenly lit up.

[Ding! The longer the host spends in a certain universe, the longer his lifespan will be consumed! ]

"Sure enough, the bug is not easy to get stuck!"

A trace of regret flashed across Link's face when he heard this.

It turns out that the time difference does not affect the universe, but affects him personally.

To put it bluntly, even if he stayed in Marvel for hundreds of years, even if he returned to the Ultra Universe, only 2.5 seconds had passed there, but he was still a centenarian.

In the eyes of others, this is equivalent to Link quickly turning into a centenarian in 2.5 seconds.

Shaking his head, Link refocused on his surroundings.

After observing with super vision, he found that the entire Neon Island had become a ruin.

Moreover, the nuclear radiation here is extremely strong and is estimated to last for hundreds of years.

“This island is ruined!”

Link had a cold expression on his face, without any mercy in his heart.

All I can say is that everything is cause and effect.

"Next, I should look for opportunities to become stronger, and... find her!"

The image of a girl he had been thinking about flashed through his mind, and Link couldn't wait to soar into the sky, flew into the clouds and disappeared.

…………

Link crossed the Pacific Ocean and successfully arrived in Manhattan, a city with simple folk customs.

“Phew… We’re finally here!”

At this moment, Link was floating above a city with flashing neon lights, watching the people coming and going below, and his mood also brightened.

He landed in an alley and looked up to see the towering skyscrapers around him. The neon lights were flashing in the night, giving him a sense of déjà vu of a cyber city.

"Is this Manhattan... It is indeed a modern metropolis."

Link muttered, a hint of disappointment in his voice.

He remembered promising her that after they got married, they would have a home of their own in Manhattan.

But now, he came to this city alone, and she was nowhere to be found.

The gap between dreams and reality made Link feel uncomfortable.

"Twinkle, where the hell are you?"

That’s right, Link’s girlfriend in this universe is called Blink, and she’s a mutant.

Thinking of the poor status of mutants in the West, Link couldn't help but worry about Twinkle's situation.

However, when he thought of Shan Dian's clever mind and ability to travel through space, he felt a little relieved.

Now, he just hopes that the other person will be safe before he finds him.
