Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

"By the way, Yaohui, I remember Sean was with you. Where is he now?" After calming down a bit, Qingxuan's mood had improved a lot. The first thing he did to keep a clear mind was to ask about his friend's situation, even though Qingxuan's physical condition had not improved.

"While Sean was searching for the real culprit with me, he was ambushed and attacked by the mastermind, a mage named Luo Yi, who stole his magical energy and summoned a rampaging monster. However, Sean is basically fine now and is in the medical facility, but he just needs some time to recover his energy."

Seeing that Qingxuan looked better, Yaohui told him the truth: the real culprit was still lurking and plotting something, and with Qingxuan injured, the overall situation was unclear.

Haruki initially wanted to spare Seigen from these burdens for the time being, but considering that Seigen had also been injured while fighting monsters to protect everyone, Haruki couldn't bear to hide it from him.

"They're even dragging innocent people into this? What is this guy trying to do?! When I find him, I'll make sure he doesn't get away with this..."

The weak shouts caused Qingxuan to feel excruciating pain again with the slightest movement. Knowing this would happen, Qingxuan still couldn't bear it. The mage not only summoned monsters to destroy the town, but his friends were also betrayed and harmed.

This guy is simply incomprehensible! Qingxuan wished he could find that Luo Yi guy immediately and teach him a lesson.

"Save your energy for healing, kid. Now is not the time for you to show off."

The director of the research institute pushed open the door and entered. Upon seeing Qingxuan looking so energetic, he couldn't help but tease him. Unlike the image Yaohui had seen before, this time the director, wearing a white coat, looked like a doctor or professor.

"I heard that the Earth Master was injured and hospitalized, so I rushed over. I heard the details from the attending physician. The damage caused by the contract really can't be treated with normal medical care. On the contrary, I was quite surprised that you were able to stay conscious despite such serious injuries. Is there any special reason for this?"

The director inquired about the specifics at a leisurely pace. There are still many mysteries surrounding the Earth Manipulators and Earth Controllers. The director has never stopped researching the Earth Manipulators over the years, which is why he was puzzled as to how the situation had completely changed from what was originally a very critical moment to a minor injury and treatment.

"Well... I don't know the specific reason, but when I was fighting the monster, Haruki and Zeta came to save me. At that time, I felt a warm current enter my body, which helped to relieve a lot of the pressure of the contract."

"Oh? Heroes have this ability? I've never heard of it before."

"It wasn't me. I used the Courage Crystal to help. This is a transformation item that President Muban created for me and Zeta using the power of the ruins. After incorporating the magic of this world, it has the functions of energy replenishment and healing."

Qingxuan's answer made the director look at Yaohui with interest. His eyes were like those of a scientist who had discovered a new species, which made Yaohui feel a chill down his spine. He quickly explained and took out the Yongyi Pure Crystal for the director to see.

"How much has Old Mu been hiding? He has all this technology in his own hands, and he never mentions it to me. He's been so petty all these years."

The more you look at it, the more mysterious Yongyi Pure Crystal seems. The warmth you feel as soon as you touch it allows you to easily sense the pure energy within.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of magic knows just how powerful the Courage Crystal is. In the outside world, it would be considered a national treasure. Unfortunately, Haruki doesn't understand magic and has always treated the Courage Crystal as just an ornament or a prop.

“If the Pure Crystal of Courage can heal the Hero’s Otherworldly Giant, then it can also help solve Qingxuan’s current situation. Here’s what we’ll do: Yaohui, bring the Pure Crystal of Courage with me. I should be able to start the treatment after I do some research.”

The director's words revealed confidence, and Yaohui trusted the director's character and conduct, so he agreed to follow him and wanted to do his part to help Qingxuan get out of his predicament.

Ajiu got up and left with Yaohui. She didn't have much in common with the Earth Master, so she preferred to go out for a walk rather than stay in the ward.

After greeting Qingxuan, the group pushed open the door to leave. However, as soon as they stepped out, they saw the director, who was soaking wet, sitting on a bench outside the door. He only came to his senses when he heard the ward door open and immediately came up to ask about Qingxuan's condition.

"Chief...Chief, is my son alright? Please, please don't let anything happen to him! My whole life is in his hands... He absolutely cannot be harmed! If anything happens to him, how can I face his mother... Chief, you must heal Qingxuan! I don't need anything else, I'll give you anything, please, please save my son!"

His hair was completely wet, his clothes were covered in water stains, and mud was still dripping from his trousers and shoes. Yao Hui couldn't imagine what kind of mood the director was in when he rushed here from the heavy rain outside. The director, who was previously extremely concerned about his image and personal gain, was now frowning and pleading, willing to give up everything to save his loved ones.

With red and swollen eyes and a chill running through his body, A-Jiu groaned and bent over, her body hunched over. If the director hadn't been there to support her, A-Jiu thought the minister would have collapsed to his knees at any moment. Was this really the same arrogant and domineering guild minister from before? Was this the same minister who could order the guild leader's appointed messenger to be imprisoned with a single command? A-Jiu could hardly believe her eyes.

"Stand up straight so you can speak clearly, Lao Ye! Everyone's watching." The director helped Minister Ye up and advised him to calm down. Only after seeing the surprised looks from Yao Hui and A Jiu did Minister Ye realize how out of control he had been.

The director led everyone to an empty room to settle down temporarily. He asked the medical staff for some towels so the minister could dry his hair and face, and instructed them to prepare some hot water for everyone to warm up. After his body temperature returned to normal, the minister regained his composure and was able to communicate with everyone calmly.

"Qingxuan will not be in any danger, Minister, please rest assured. Moreover, the director has already agreed to the follow-up treatment, and Qingxuan will definitely be fine."

Haruki's promise to export eased the atmosphere somewhat, and the minister, who had no reason to doubt the hero, nodded repeatedly in approval, but he himself was still very nervous.

Having witnessed Qingxuan's expression firsthand, Yaohui was certain that Qingxuan's life was not in danger, but he did not understand why the minister had such a strong reaction.

“You and Lao Ye have different perspectives, Yao Hui. You probably can’t understand what he’s worried about.” The director felt uneasy looking at the minister’s state, as it reminded him of some unpleasant things.

"What exactly is going on? Shouldn't Earth Manipulators be very strong? Is there some hidden story behind this?"

"Actually, it's all in the past. It happened ten years ago, and it's a story about the previous Earth Ruler..."

More than a decade ago, this land was visited by a large number of otherworldly creatures, who destroyed everyone's homes and hunted monsters. President Muban gathered the power of human magicians and monsters to fight against the otherworldly creatures. After several years of struggle, ten years ago, all the otherworldly creatures were driven out, allowing everyone to return to their original peaceful lives.

But that era of war was a time of hell. The previous Earth Master and Earth Guardian fought against monsters from another world, risking their lives to protect everyone's homeland...
