Ultimate Zero Garrison?
What was that? A team similar to the Space Garrison?
Across the infinite dimensions, countless viewers were a bit confused upon hearing Ultraman King's words.
Don't they already have a Space Garrison?
Why establish another one, and have Zero lead it?
To be fair, Zero's strength was more than enough. But starting from scratch and building up a force... raw power alone wouldn't be sufficient. Not to mention, this was for the deeply complex Star Rail universe.

[Light Curtain Commentary]
[Minato Namikaze: "I originally thought the Aegis of Palagye was for traversing space-time and forming Ultraman Saga, which was already incredibly powerful. But I never imagined that this wasn't even its limit."]
The fact that the Aegis of Palagye could cross universes wasn't exactly a secret, but that it could also pierce through the cosmic barrier was a game-changer.
This meant that Noa had intended for this from the start. Just what kind of a being did he create? It was hard to imagine the terrifying consequences if this thing was pushed to its absolute limit.
[Kurumi Tokisaki: "The ultimate space-time divine artifact? If I could get my hands on the Aegis of Palagye, I could probably kill the Spirit of Origin with ease."]
[Ling Qiao: "That thing is humming... To be honest... if she really wanted to play with it, compared to the Aegis of Palagye, the Clock of Finality is more like something that fell from the sky. To get her hands on the Spirit of Origin, who knows how long that would take."]
[Super Scientist Ah Guang: "I really want to study it. If possible, we might be able to replicate it. Imagine if every Ultra Warrior in the Land of Light was equipped with this Aegis of Palagye. Then the distance to cosmic peace would be one step closer."]
In the Science Bureau of the Land of Light, Hikari looked at the Aegis of Palagye in Zero's possession, his eyes filled with longing.
This was a scientist's curiosity for the unknown, and he also had a feeling that he could replicate the things on it. Even if it wasn't as good as the original, a simplified version that could travel through space would still be achievable.
[Daigu Madoka: "Huh? Such a powerful divine artifact, can it be replicated? And I don't think it's that easy to replicate. Its creator is Ultraman Noa, an existence on par with Ultraman King. How can our Ultra Warriors even begin to understand it?"]
Daigu was taken aback, a look of astonishment on his face.
Not to mention anything else, in the early days of Konoha, they couldn't even replicate the First Hokage's cells, let alone a divine artifact on this level.
However, in the Ultra Universe, the research level of the M78 civilization had never disappointed. Its scientific scope was something Daigu couldn't even begin to fathom.
Not to mention anything else, the technology of the Ultra Universe, even a tiny fraction of it, was enough to make Konoha benefit endlessly.
The technology that appeared in the light curtain, if it could be realized, could completely end the age of shinobi.
It was a pity... after walking for so long, they were still at a standstill.
No one in the ninja world had Daigu's talent, and no one took this technology seriously.
Relying on him alone to lead the ninja world into a new era... the difficulty was immense.
He couldn't even understand the technology of the Land of Light, let alone Earth's.

["The Ultimate Zero Garrison?"
On the light curtain, Zero was also stunned when he heard Ultraman King's words. He didn't react for a moment.
The Garrison?
The Space Garrison of the Land of Light was the most outstanding garrison in the entire universe. There were one hundred to eighty billion Ultras in the Land of Light, and a small portion of them hoped to join the Space Garrison to maintain peace in the universe.
And now, Zero had actually obtained the authority from Ultraman King to form another Garrison?
What did that mean?
It meant that Zero's status had risen to the same level as Father of Ultra.
Although the Ultimate Zero Garrison would only have one general, Zero, for now, given time, it would have the opportunity to surpass the Land of Light's Space Garrison.
The nurturing Ultraman King showed for Zero, and even his affection, had reached a level beyond words.
Of course, this was also with Noa's approval. Without the Aegis of Palagye, traversing the universe was difficult, let alone establishing a Garrison.
"Old man... this..."
Even Zero, knowing the symbolic meaning of this, hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say to Ultraman King.
Actually, there was no need to hesitate. Zero very much wanted to agree directly.
If nothing else, at least in the other universe, even if he was separated from Stelle's body, he would have many opportunities to meet her.
But that was only one aspect. The more important thing was the Ultimate Zero Garrison.
To establish a Garrison from scratch, even with the help of the Amber King, there were too many twists and turns to pay attention to.
Asking Zero to fight was no problem; he was born for it. But asking Zero to handle management... he was truly powerless.
He had said it several times before: this cooperation was very important, for both universes.
Therefore, the pressure on Zero was not small. Although he had confidence in himself, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
After several thousand years, Zero was no longer the newborn calf he once was. Back then, he hadn't even reached adulthood, yet he dared to sneak into the Plasma Spark Tower.
Now, he had things he felt he couldn't do. It seemed Leo's training had indeed taught Zero a lot, allowing him to understand that he, too, could make mistakes.
"Zero, you have the power to choose in this matter. Follow your heart. Noa chose you, and I believe you will not disappoint anyone."
Ultraman King had always looked at Zero with a gratified expression. To be precise... he was looking at everyone present.
They were all kind and lovely children. Even the most rebellious Zero from back then had grown up now...
"Hah... I understand, old man..."
Zero thought for a moment, looked at Stelle, and then at his father.
Everyone present stopped what they were doing, awaiting Zero's answer.
After careful consideration, Zero walked over to Seven and hugged him tightly.
"Father... after this farewell, I'm afraid it will be a long time before we meet again."
As Zero spoke, he gave his answer.
He would go to the other universe with Stelle, the Astral Express, and the Stellaron Hunters.
Although the universe they were in had just experienced a great war, with Ultraman King and Ultraman Noa present, the darkness, however rampant, would not dare to act openly.
But the Star Rail universe was different. The Amber King was busy building his walls, and the Aeons all had their own agendas, arguing endlessly.
Compared to the Ultra Universe, that place needed Zero more.
Even if Zero had never built up any forces, weren't there others to help?
Not to mention anything else, the Amber King's support was enough for Zero to swagger through that universe.
And the Aegis of Palagye possessed the power to let Zero become Ultraman Saga on his own, not to mention the light of Noa that Stelle carried.
If he was still afraid of failing the mission after all that, Zero might as well find a block of tofu and kill himself with it.
"...Zero..."
Seven looked deeply into Zero's eyes, saying nothing.
But everyone present knew that a father's love is silent. In expressing emotions, Seven and Zero were very much alike; neither was good at expressing their feelings.
It was like this when he was on Earth, it was like this when he was teaching Leo, and it was the same now, facing his own son.
However, Zero's current strength was immeasurably greater than his father's. There was no need for him to say anything more.
"Take care, and look after yourself."
In the end, all his words converged into this single sentence. For Seven, who was not good at expressing his emotions, this was already a breakthrough moment.
After communicating with the people of the Land of Light, Zero turned his gaze back to Ultraman King.
"Your Majesty... I am ready. We can depart at any time."
"Mm. Before you go, let the Land of Light help you with one last task."
Seeing Zero was ready, Ultraman King gestured to Father of Ultra beside him, who nodded in understanding.
This made the audience outside the infinite dimensions completely bewildered. This Ultraman creature was too strange. They had no expressions, and their usual way of expressing emotions was just a flash of light and a nod. And now, the King just nodded, and the Father of Ultra knew what he was thinking...]

[Light Curtain Commentary]
["The Stellaron Hunters just went over and are about to come back. In contrast, the Astral Express has already gathered quite a bit of information. Later, when the two universes gradually connect, the Astral Express will be able to reap the most benefits from the torrent of the times with this information." ]
[Members of the Interastral Peace Corporation's Board of Directors watched the light curtain before them, speaking with reluctance.]
[For the thriving Corporation, what was most important in the cosmos?]
[Money? Power? Troops?]
[What was most important was information. With enough information, with enough intelligence, they could become even stronger than they were now.]
[All Riajū Should Explode: "When Zero reaches the Star Rail universe, will he bring us more information about the Aeons and their Emanators? Besides the Amber King and the IPC, we don't know much about the other Aeons."]
[Otto Apocalypse: "I don't know. After the Swarm King is eliminated, the two universes have already reached an agreement. I wonder if the Ultimate Zero Garrison will be established or not."]
[March 7th: "Huh? Is it over? That woman hasn't become a Kamen Rider yet!"]
[Firefly: "What's so good about becoming a Kamen Rider? Wouldn't it be cooler to become an Ultra? Isn't that better than being a Kamen Rider?"]
[Galaxy Baseballer: "Ahem, ahem. These two are mine!"]
---o---
[On the light curtain, at the Land of Light plaza.
Countless Ultras gathered together. At this moment, even the Ultra Warriors working on missions outside had temporarily stopped their work and come to the plaza.
Ultra Warriors from the Land of Light, U40, O-50, and even the crew of the Space Pendragon from a conquered Earth, all appeared at the Land of Light's plaza.
The originally vast area instantly became crowded. Fortunately, the people of the Land of Light were of high character; otherwise, with so many people squeezed together, an incident would surely occur.
And with the appearance of Ultraman King, the scene fell silent. So quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Ultraman King first nodded, giving his affirmation and encouragement to all the Ultra Warriors who fought to protect peace.
This immediately caused countless Ultra Warriors to rejoice. After all, this was praise from the King, the superman of the Ultra race.
After a long declaration, Ultraman King finally got to the point.
"Warriors from all across the universe who fight for peace, the darkness has never vanished. In another universe, countless crises await the Land of Light to resolve, and countless lives are waiting for us to save."
"And now, the ancient warrior Noa, and the Aeon who symbolizes Preservation, have both chosen Zero to be their envoy, to represent the Land of Light, to represent us Ultra Warriors."
"Now... countless warriors are gathered here. I hope that all Ultra Warriors can entrust their power to him, allowing Zero to possess enough power to cut through the cosmos and defeat evil."
As Ultraman King spoke, the warriors below listened intently.
That's right. To fully activate the power of the Aegis of Palagye and allow Zero to traverse the universe with the Astral Express and the Stellaron Hunters, it was necessary to gather all the power of the Land of Light.
"With all of our power combined, we can allow Zero to completely activate the power of the Aegis of Palagye, reaching the level of the King, or even Ultraman Noa, in a short period of time."
This was the solution Hikari had provided, and now was the time to realize it.
As Ultraman King's voice fell, Zero, carrying the Astral Express, arrived high above the Land of Light.
The crew of the Express and the Stellaron Hunters were all gathered on the train at this moment.
Seeing this, Ultraman King took the lead, sending a portion of his golden light into Ultraman Zero's bracelet.
In an instant, the bracelet emitted a dazzling light, and a continuous stream of power began to spread throughout Ultraman Zero's body.
Immediately after, following Ultraman King's lead, countless Ultra Warriors sent their energy toward Zero in the sky.
A kaleidoscope of colors, various energy particles rained down on Zero. The entire sky above the Land of Light seemed to be raining with a seven-colored energy shower.
Then, the light on the bracelet reached a critical point, and a blue-and-white light re-engulfed Zero's entire body.
This time, even without Cosmos and Dyna by his side, Zero directly relied on his own power to transform into Ultraman Saga.
And at that very moment, just as Ultraman Saga appeared, the Plasma Spark Tower suddenly flashed with a brilliant light.
The Sacred Light seemed to suddenly gain consciousness, and it actually separated a portion of its power and handed it over to Zero himself.
"The Sacred Light... has chosen Zero!" Below, Zoffy exclaimed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Who could have imagined that the young man who once tried to steal the energy of the Sacred Light would now receive the Sacred Light's approval through his own power...]
