"Hmph!"
Seven hurled the three Gutons—each covered in writhing Greedy Sandworms—into the air, then instantly unleashed his Wide Shot Beam.
This time, the beam was much wider and stronger than any before.
It engulfed all three monsters in one go—
—and vaporized them completely, no explosion needed.
When Seven stopped firing, the area where the beam had passed was still radiating searing heat, the space itself distorted and shimmering.
Anyone who approached recklessly would suffer severe burns.
"Huff… huff…"
Though Seven had infinite energy, his body had limits. Firing such a massive energy beam put serious strain on him.
"Hmm?! This presence…!"
Seven suddenly turned toward the battlefield where Leo had fought the Siren Heads.
"That's… the Ultra King's energy?!"
His voice was filled with shock.
He never expected the Ultra King to appear on Earth!
—
["Congratulations! Siren Heads and Greedy Sandworms in the Leo Universe have been successfully eliminated."]
A voice echoed in the minds of both Leo and Seven.
["Reward: Astra receives Infinite Energy. Leo receives the Potara Earrings. Seven receives METEOR Technology."]
After the message, a pair of earrings appeared in Leo's hand.
And in Seven's hand, a USB drive materialized.
["Potara Earrings are sacred artifacts from the Dragon Ball Universe, belonging to the Supreme Kais. If one person wears the left earring and the other wears the right, the two can fuse into a being far stronger than the sum of their parts."]
["If worn by Supreme Kais, the fusion is permanent. But if worn by non-Kais, the fusion lasts one hour. However, if the fused form exerts too much power, the time limit may shorten."]
Upon understanding this, Leo was stunned.
"So this is that treasure from Son Goku's world… it allows two beings to fuse and become much stronger… What a fascinating magical item."
Leo stared at the earrings in wonder.
They looked just like ordinary earrings—nothing unusual on the surface.
But that only made them more mysterious.
"Leo-nii-san, why do I feel so full of power all of a sudden? What's going on?"
Astra asked, confused. Apparently, he hadn't heard the screen's voice.
"I'll explain in a bit. Say… wanna try fusing with me?"
Leo grinned and handed one earring to Astra.
"Huh?"
The sudden topic shift left Astra utterly lost.
—
["METEOR Technology comes from the future of the Leo Ultraman Universe—developed by the Earth defense force GUYS. It was created by studying the remnants of alien tech after numerous invasions to protect Earth and fight monsters."]
["It is divided into Fighter-type, Micro-type, and the ultimate Final METEOR. However, METEOR is highly dangerous. It causes significant harm to human bodies and equipment. Furthermore, Fighter-type METEOR reveals its terminal, making it vulnerable to enemy targeting. So, it is advised to keep METEOR usage within one minute."]
Seven raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected such tech to be from Earth's future.
So… the Earthlings would one day rise to the point of mastering alien remnants and using them in their own way?
That didn't surprise him.
Even now, Earth's defense teams were working on reverse-engineering alien tech.
But due to the limitations of their time, much of it remained incomprehensible.
This USB drive, however, contained complete schematics—construction methods, materials, scientific theories.
It would drastically accelerate development.
"I need to study this as soon as I get back. I want to see just how far future Earthlings have progressed."
Seven looked at the USB thoughtfully—then shot into the sky.
With that, the containment task in the Leo Universe came to a temporary close.
Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas Universe
Hades' Castle
"Minos. I clearly ordered you to destroy all the Xenomorphs. Why… did you bring so many back? Even their eggs?!"
Alone, seated on his throne, frowned at the Specter kneeling before him.
Behind Minos stood a horde of Xenomorphs—each faintly radiating Cosmo energy.
"I'm not joking. This is the result of my research,"
Minos said with a smirk.
"At first, I thought they were just pathetic beasts, only capable of scaring civilians. But when I heard that man named Orochimaru mention their adaptability… I had to test it."
Minos' grin deepened.
"I let a few weak Specters—cannon fodder—get facehugged. I cultivated the Xenomorphs."
At that, many Specters' faces darkened.
"Turns out, the resulting creatures possess Cosmo… and their potential is enormous. With enough training, they can surpass those low-tier Specters. Their physical durability alone already puts them above most."
Minos explained his findings without shame.
Hearing this, many Specters—especially the low-ranked ones—began to shift uncomfortably.
"So you want to recruit Xenomorphs… as part of our army?"
Alone deduced his intent.
"Yes. Creatures this fascinating… it would be such a waste to exterminate them."
Minos nodded.
"How dare you!"
Suddenly, Pandora snapped. Her voice was filled with fury.
"Lord Hades ordered you to eliminate the Xenomorphs. And yet you defied him, disobeyed direct orders, and acted on your own. Do you realize what that means? You've betrayed the will of the Underworld King! That's treason!"
The atmosphere grew tense.
No one dared to speak. Even breathing felt dangerous.
Everyone stood frozen, fearing what might come next.
Then—
"Pandora,"
Alone spoke calmly.
"I want to hear Minos' reasoning."
His eyes, empty and godlike, fell on Minos.
