Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

Even the more powerful ground-based defensive artillery couldn't do anything to Zakira, let alone the UGM pistol that Hoshino Isamu was holding at the moment.

Zakira completely ignored Hoshino Isamu's attack and continued walking towards Balu.

Hoshino Isamu watched as Zakira drew ever closer to Baru, his heart filled with anxiety.

In his desperation, Hoshino Yuu suddenly fired a high-explosive bullet at Zakira's vulnerable eye area.

Crack!

A burst of brilliant sparks erupted around Zakira's eyes, and Zakira, who had always ignored Hoshino Isamu's attacks, suddenly tilted her head to the side due to the pain.

A small high-explosive bullet would not cause Zakira much serious damage, even if the part that was hit was the relatively vulnerable eye.

But Hoshino Isamu's actions were nothing short of a provocation to Zakira.

It never imagined that a mere insect it disregarded could cause it pain.

Even the slightest bit was an unforgivable offense to Zachira.

Immediately, Zakira's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and for the first time, his gaze focused on Hoshino Isamu, with a faint energy flashing within them.

"Intense energy fluctuations detected from the monster! Oh no! Assistant Hoshino, run!"

In the operations room, Shirono Emi, who was constantly monitoring the data from various detection radars, immediately noticed the flow of energy within Zakira's body. She exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly called out to Hoshino Isamu.

Hoshino Isamu had naturally heard Shirono Emi telling him to run, but it was too late to say anything at that moment.

There's no escaping it.

It wasn't just because Hoshino Isamu was backed by Balu, but also because at such close range, Hoshino Isamu wouldn't be able to run more than a few steps before facing Zakira's devastating attack.

Thinking of this, Hoshino Yu gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and continued to pull the trigger of the UGM pistol, the high-explosive bullets flying desperately toward Zakira's eyes.

However, the next second, a lightning-shaped laser beam shot out from Zakira's eyes and headed straight for Hoshino Isamu.

In the face of danger, Hoshino Isamu was prepared to face death calmly.

But then, Hoshino Isamu felt the surroundings darken.

Looking up, they saw that Balu had overcome his fear of Zakira and used his own body to protect Hoshino Isamu.

At the same time, a faint but clearly audible cry reached Hoshino Isamu's ears.

Even though they couldn't understand each other's languages, Hoshino Isamu was still able to understand the meaning behind Pazu's voice.

It was saying goodbye to him.

"Baru...no..."

Hoshino Isamu's heart skipped a beat.

In the next instant, Zachira's attack swept in.

At the critical moment, a dazzling light descended from the sky and landed in front of Pazu and Hoshino Isamu.

The Ultra V-shaped barrier unfolded in an instant, steadily catching Zakira's laser beam.

"Eddie!"

Shirono Emi exclaimed in surprise.

The one who emerged from the light was none other than Eddie, who had come seeking out the negative energy fluctuations.

This was something Gu Chen hadn't expected. He was all prepared to transform and save the day, but Eddie beat him to it.

Balu and Hoshino waited for a moment, but when they found that nothing had happened as expected, they looked up in the direction of Zakira.

Immediately, they saw Eddie blocking Zakira's laser beam.

"Eddie!"

Hoshino Isamu exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with the joy of escaping death.

Since Eddie appeared in time, doesn't that mean Balu won't die?

Thinking of this, Hoshino Isamu looked at Pazu with a face full of joy.

Hearing Hoshino Isamu's voice from behind, Eddie, who was blocking Zakira's attack, even had the strength to turn around and nod slightly at him. Then, he suddenly burst out with power and charged straight at Zakira, defying Zakira's attack.

Zakira, who had roamed the universe for a long time and left behind many infamous reputations, had never encountered a guy as fierce as Eddie.

Seeing that his attack had been deflected, Zachira stared in shock.

The next second, Zachira felt a sharp pain in her head as Eddie landed a heavy punch on her head.

Seeing this, Gu Chen was certain that Eddie was much stronger than he was in the original story.

After all, in the original story, Zakira was the one who dominated Eddie, and even knocked Eddie unconscious.

In the end, it was Pazu who sacrificed himself to save him. Eddie woke up from his coma and saw Pazu dead. Enraged, he turned the tide and defeated Zakira.

But now, without needing anger to unleash his full power, Eddie's strength is already enough to easily suppress Zakira.

This is largely because the negative energy monsters that appeared on Earth before put tremendous pressure on Ace. Under this pressure, Ace was also working desperately to improve, in order not to hold Tiga back and to protect Earth from the invasion of negative energy disasters.

After knocking Zaqira away with one punch, Eddie did not press his advantage but stood still, quietly observing Zaqira.

By comparing body shape and appearance, Eddie instantly retrieved relevant information about Zachira from his memory.

As a vicious monster, Zakira had long been wanted by several interstellar civilizations and was even pursued by interstellar police at one point.

Therefore, the Land of Light had heard of Zakira and naturally had some basic information about her.

Coincidentally, Eddie had written down information about Zachira.

Just after Eddie confirmed Zachira's identity, Zachira had recovered from the heavy punch he had just received.

Immediately afterwards, it roared angrily at Eddie and launched a fierce attack on him.

It opened its gaping maw, full of fangs, and lunged straight at Eddie's neck.

At the same time, sharp claws swung out, whistling through the air as they reached for Eddie's body.

Faced with Zachira's fierce attack, Eddie stood firm in place, neither dodging nor avoiding, like a mountain.

The next second, Zaqira's claws slashed hard at Eddie, but they did not cause Eddie any injury.

Not dodging or avoiding doesn't mean Eddie doesn't take any defensive measures.

Beneath Eddie's body surface, the flowing power of light formed a barrier, providing Eddie with greater defensive capabilities.

At the same time, before Zakira's fangs could land on his neck, Eddie had already seized an opening in Zakira's defenses and delivered a precise Ultra Palm strike to Zakira's waist fin.

The next second, Eddie grabbed Zachira's fin and executed a clean back throw, slamming Zachira hard onto the ground.
