"You really do like using this form!"
After the initial worry, came the usual complaints.
Judging from Saki's expression at this moment, it's hard to believe that she was in such a hurry not long ago.
In fact, Saki's words were not wrong.
Since Lu Xuan developed this dark form, he has rarely transformed into a real human.
After all, through this dark form of mimicry ability, Lu Xuan can almost perfectly simulate all human abilities, except for transforming into Galvin.
"It's not that I like it, it's just that it's convenient."
The reason Lu Xuan initially transformed into a human was simply because the human form was well-suited for navigating modern society.
He then maintained his human form for many years, and even rarely used his original Gaelic form, for the same reason.
Now, there is a dark form that far surpasses the human form in every aspect.
Therefore, it is perfectly normal to replace the human form with the dark form as one's frequently used disguise.
Especially in those vastly different parallel universes, the universality of the dark form is clearly greater than that of the human form.
Because compared to telekinesis in human form.
The dark form not only possesses similar, or even superior, mental power, but its physical immortality is also far beyond what the flesh and blood can match.
"Has it re-locked onto the parallel universe I visited before?"
Lu Xuan glanced at Saki, whose brows were still furrowed, and gently pressed the "∞" symbol hidden in his palm.
tumultuous!
The next second, the Omnitrix's transformation function was activated, turning Lu Xuan back into his true human form.
Lu Xuan simply doesn't care about outsiders' evaluations and opinions of him, but that doesn't mean he can't understand people's hearts.
Since Saki dislikes, and even has a strong aversion to, dark forms.
Therefore, Lu Xuan would not stubbornly continue to use his dark form in front of the other party.
Friends are always considerate of each other, and Lu Xuan believed he had done a pretty good job in this regard.
"It's already locked down. I knew that was why you didn't want to come back."
Saki's furrowed brows relaxed instantly, and she felt that Lu Xuan could be quite reasonable at times.
In fact, Saki didn't really have any complaints about the dark form.
The reason she showed such obvious resistance was simply because the negative emotions emanating from her dark form were too obvious.
Especially in front of a sensitive alien like Saki, that undisguised malice was really affecting his mood.
Moreover, even if we take a step back, Saki never believed that she was the only one who could sense the dark power emanating from Lu Xuan.
Once people in human society also noticed the dark power within Lu Xuan.
This is not a good thing for either him personally or for the Galvin Group.

Chapter 450 His name is Gaia
"Did they find Daigo this time?"
With unspoken expectations in mind, Saki asked the question.
Since Daigo went missing, it's not just Lu Xuan and Saki who are searching for him.
Meanwhile, the Victory Team was also searching the globe for any possible traces of Daigo.
Lina and Shinjo frequently approached the Extraterrestrial Alliance, hoping to use their help to find the missing Daigo.
Saki, who knew the whole truth, could only regretfully refuse.
Because on Earth today, apart from Lu Xuan, there is no one else who could possibly cross parallel universes to rescue someone.
Therefore, instead of going through all the trouble of having the extraterrestrial alliance search for Daigo, it's better to...
Saki, on the contrary, became even more wary of the aliens and monsters that might appear because of Tiga's disappearance.
This is not impossible; on the contrary, it is highly likely to happen.
At that time, if someone connects Daigo's disappearance with the reappearance of Tiga, then his identity may be completely exposed.
From any perspective, Saki would never allow such a thing to happen.
It can be said that the later Lu Xuan finds Da Gu, the higher the possibility that his identity will be exposed.
"I didn't find Daigo..."
Seeing the disappointment in Sagina's eyes, Lu Xuan decisively shook his head.
Before Saki could react, Lu Xuan immediately added another sentence.
"Although I haven't found Daigo yet, I have found some clues related to him."
Upon hearing this, the disappointment in Saki's eyes instantly turned into surprise.
"Really? What clue?"
Without keeping the question a secret, Lu Xuan looked up at the enormous spacetime black hole in the sky and said...
"Perhaps we've found the parallel universe that Daigo traveled to this time..."
After a slight pause, Lu Xuan continued.
"But the time in the parallel universe I arrived at was wrong."
“Daigo was already there sixteen years ago, while I arrived sixteen years later.”
Looking at Lu Xuan with some confusion, Saki knew the meaning of each of his words, but she couldn't quite grasp the specific implications when they were put together.
Sixteen years ago?
"Daigo has only been missing for less than a week, hasn't he?"
This week is calculated from the moment Daigo and Lu Xuan entered the "Rainbow Magic Realm," otherwise the time would be even shorter.
Have you heard of 'string theory'?
He decisively shook his head to indicate that he had never heard of it.
Having spent so much time with Lu Xuan, Sha Ji had long been accustomed to his endless stream of scientific theories.
At this point, you just need to maintain a "good student" attitude, and the other party will naturally give you a more detailed explanation.
"Simply put, this is a theory that believes the universe has eleven dimensions and that parallel universes are real."
"However, unlike the general parallel universe theory, this theory holds that each parallel universe is not a one-to-one replica."
"No matter how similar parallel universes may be, there must be some subtle differences between them."
"The closer the parallel universes are, the higher their similarity will be."
"If we extend this to the level of parallel universes, the difference might just be whether you took your left or right foot first when you left the house yesterday."
Looking at Saki, who seemed somewhat dazed yet still somewhat bewildered, Lu Xuan explained further.
"The parallel universe that Daigo went to was a universe that was quite different from our current one."
"Although only a week has passed here, sixteen years have passed in that parallel universe, and everything has changed dramatically."
"This is a difference in the dimension of time, and also a distinction between two parallel universes."
To be honest, the difference in time dimension alone makes them relatively similar parallel universes.
Parallel universes with even greater dimensional differences may even have different laws of physics, let alone give birth to and nurture human civilization.
Of course, there was one thing Lu Xuan didn't mention.
It is clearly abnormal that two such similar spacetimes have such a huge difference only in the time dimension.
"In a parallel universe where sixteen years have passed since that time..."
“I met a girl who called herself ‘Jia’ and also investigated some things that clearly shouldn’t exist in that parallel universe.”
......................................................................................................
When Lu Xuan heard the girl he had rescued call herself "Jia'er," he finally understood why he felt a strange sense of familiarity and closeness towards her.
Because the other person is clearly Kari from another parallel universe, a Kari who has grown up.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xuan noticed that his interference with parallel spacetime had led to an unexpected discovery.
Even in that era that had fallen into despair and darkness, there was still a power of "light" striving to protect the surviving humans.
It was precisely because of the protection of the "power of light" that the humans living in the settlements were not completely wiped out by the dark forces of the outside world.
However, the origin of this "power of light" became a question that troubled Lu Xuan.
That "power of light" did not come from Tiga, but from the Earth itself, from the depths of the earth.
Realizing this, Lu Xuan decisively chose to go deep into the earth to try to explore the nature of this "power of light".
Then, Lu Xuan discovered a fact that surprised him even more.
Although that "power of light" comes from the Earth itself and from the depths of the earth, it is not a product of the Earth.
Or more precisely, that "power of light" was not a product of that parallel universe Earth.
Sixteen years ago, at the moment the dark forces revived, Earth in the parallel universe had already "died".
It was a dead star, a lifeless, desolate star.
Let alone the possibility of giving birth to another advanced intelligent civilization.
Once the surviving humans are completely wiped out, life will no longer be able to arise on that parallel universe's Earth.
Through brief contact and exploration, Lu Xuan finally confirmed his judgment.
That "power of light" emanating from the depths of the earth is Ultraman from another parallel universe.
Unfortunately, this Ultraman from a parallel universe has long since died, leaving only some of his remains lurking beneath the earth, protecting the few remaining lives on Earth.
Every moment, this remaining "power of light" is being consumed.
If Lu Xuan hadn't accidentally discovered the existence of this power, it might never have been known to the world until the moment of its demise.
Even so, the information Lu Xuan could obtain was still very limited.
After exhausting all means, all Lu Xuan could ultimately learn was the name of this Ultraman—an unexpected yet perfectly logical name.
Born from the earth, protecting life.
His name is Gaia.

PS: This was originally a complete side story.
However, after looking at the length of this volume, I decided to skip this part of the story.
Simply recounting it as a flashback feels more interesting than writing out the entire plot.
Chapter 451 The Eleven Dimensions of the Universe
"Gaia?"
This is the name of the Earth Mother Goddess in Greek mythology.
If Lu Xuan hadn't specifically emphasized that it was an existence similar to Ultraman Tiga, Saki would have found it very difficult to associate this name with a giant.
"The will of the earth, the embodiment of the land, is a giant named 'Gaia'."
His eyes were deep and solemn, because Lu Xuan knew far more truth than Saki had imagined.
Although Lu Xuan had only watched the entire series of Ultraman Tiga, he was not so ignorant about Ultraman Gaia, one of the three Heisei Ultramen.
In Lu Xuan's memory, Ultraman Gaia is an atypical Ultraman series.
Both in terms of its setting and plot development, Gaia is completely different from the typical Ultraman series.
The most obvious feature is that Gaia, as the child of the earth, does not have the time limit of ordinary Ultraman.
