Ace brought the two of them to the identity registration office. It was a spacious and bright hall, with the walls covered in signs detailing various rules, regulations, and notices. The floor was paved with smooth marble that reflected the overhead lights, making it feel almost like a dream world.
The two little ones widened their eyes, looking around in curiosity. Their gazes sparkled with excitement and anticipation, shining like two bright stars that illuminated the entire room. Zett tightly hugged Saize's arm, seeming somewhat frightened yet full of curiosity. From time to time, he looked up at Saize, then quickly lowered his head again, as if seeking a sense of security. Even so, he couldn't help stealing occasional glances at the surrounding environment, completely captivated by all the novel things.
In contrast, Saize appeared much more calm and composed. While comforting Zett, he observed his surroundings with a gentle gaze. However, the slight trembling of his fingers betrayed a hint of nervousness deep inside. After all, this place was entirely unfamiliar to them.
An employee walked toward them with a smile. "Hello there, little ones, I'm Metal, the officer in charge of registration. Come this way, let's fill out some basic information first." Ace gently patted Zett on the head, encouraging him to relax. Saize also held Zett's hand, giving him a warm smile.
Guided by Metal, they walked over to a table and sat down. Metal handed each of them a form listing some simple questions, such as name, age, and home address. Zett picked up a pen and started filling it out earnestly; although his handwriting was a bit crooked, it was full of childlike innocence.
When they finished the forms, Metal carefully checked them over and nodded with satisfaction. "Alright, next I'll process your identity documents so you can move around the city freely." With that, he took out two small chips and inserted them into a device one by one.
A moment later, Metal retrieved the chips and handed them to Zett and Saize. "These are your identity documents; make sure you keep them safe. Now, you are officially members of this city!" Ace smiled and patted their heads in congratulation.
Zett and Saize exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with joy. They carefully put away the chips and thanked Metal together. Then, they followed Ace away from the registration office.
"Let's go! I'll take you to collect your subsidies first," Ace said with a smile, then added, "and then I'll show you the house where you two will be living."
Hearing Ace's words, little Saize nodded happily, while little Zett waved his small hands excitedly, eager to see his new home.
As Zett had mentioned earlier, little Saize traded his house for currency and received the corresponding compensation. Afterward, Ace led them to their new residence.
Standing at the front door, Ace smiled and said to them, "This is where you'll be living from now on! I hope you like it~" With that, he gently patted little Saize on the head.
Little Saize and little Zett walked into the house, looking around curiously. The rooms were very clean and tidy, furnished with a variety of brand-new pieces of furniture.
Watching this heartwarming scene, Ace nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left.
"Since the Land of Light is illuminated by the Plasma Spark, there's no night here," Saize muttered to himself as he walked over to the window. Looking at the bright light outside, he couldn't help exclaiming, "The Sun here is really bright!"
However, for the Land of Light, there was no true night; it was only considered dark when the light grew slightly dimmer.
Saize walked into his room, feeling quite satisfied as he looked at the spacious area and comfortable bed. After all, this was the first time he had his own room since arriving in the Land of Light.
Lying on the bed, Saize suddenly remembered something. He sat up and spoke into the empty air, "Hey, System, are you there?"
A voice sounded in his mind: "Master, I've been right here all along."
Saize's lips curled into a slight smile as he said, "Haha, that's good. Look, I already have the Yin-Yang Shield given to me by the Moon, so your Devouring Beam ability doesn't seem very useful anymore. How about you change your function? For example, into something like brotherly intimacy—as long as I treat Zett well, I get points. Wouldn't that be great? What do you think? You can think it over."
The System was silent for a moment before replying, "Master, your suggestion is very interesting, but I need time to consider whether it's feasible. Please give me some time to carefully evaluate this proposal."
Saize nodded in understanding. "No problem, take your time thinking about it. I'm not in a rush anyway; just let me know your answer when you've figured it out."
With that, he thought of his two healing abilities and asked with some confusion, "What about my two healing abilities? Aren't they a bit redundant? Do you think you can give me some sort of permission to modify them for the two of them?"
Hearing this, the System looked at Saize speechlessly, thinking this kid really had some nerve! It snapped irritably, "You think I'm a god? You can't just change things on a whim! These are rules set by the System, how can they be altered casually? Besides, your current strength isn't enough for me to make an exception for you. So stop daydreaming."
Uh... well, I suppose that really is unlikely.
"However, it doesn't matter. This System has a new service that allows you to scrap skills. As long as you're willing to scrap a skill, I can reward you with some points. How about it, interested in trying? Those useless skills are just a waste lying around anyway; you might as well trade them for some points—you might even be able to buy something more useful. Haha, isn't that a great deal? So don't hesitate anymore, come pick a skill you want to scrap!"
Hearing this news, Saize bounced straight up from the bed.
"Quickly decompose it, quickly decompose it!" Saize urged anxiously. He wanted to get rid of the healing skill from the ordinary draw as soon as possible.
With a crisp sound, the decomposition was successful. Saize obtained a healing attribute. At that moment, the System detected that Saize already possessed a healing skill and asked whether he wanted to stack the healing attribute with it.
After hesitating for a moment, Saize decided to choose stacking. After all, having extra power was always a good thing.
"Ding, stacking successful. Healing ability enhanced," the System prompted.
However, Saize frowned and muttered to himself, "Healing ability enhanced? That doesn't seem very useful. Don't I already have unlimited healing?"
The System seemed to sense Saize's confusion and explained, "Host, unlimited healing only works on yourself, allowing you to recover continuously. As long as you don't die instantly, you can recover rapidly. But if you want to help heal others, or use healing skills to enhance your own combat power, then this healing attribute is extremely useful."
Hearing the System's explanation, Saize nodded in sudden realization. So that was it; it seemed this healing attribute was still quite important.
Next, Saize thought of something else. He asked, "System, help me decompose that Mars resurrection-from-death ability as well."
The System reminded him with some surprise, "That is a high-level talent, are you sure you want to decompose it?"
Without a moment's hesitation, Saize replied, "Yes, decompose."
With a flash of light, the decomposition was successful. Saize acquired the Death Rebirth trait.
Saize felt that this Death Rebirth trait was very similar to the attributes of the Blade of Survival, so he asked the System to merge the two together.
"Synthesis complete," the System replied.
Looking at the result of the synthesis, Saize smiled and said, "System, System, I feel like you're practically becoming a synthesis system."
The System responded helplessly, "Who told you to always make me do these kinds of things..."
"Host, Mars seems to have sensed that you've analyzed the ability it bestowed upon you."
"Huh? Could it be that planets are living entities?"
"That's right, just like the settings in your novels, they possess spiritual intelligence, though their degree of wisdom is very high. They can think for themselves, but they cannot interfere with the events happening around them."
"Ah, Host, Mars is sending you a message once more, stating that it wishes to bestow a certain ability upon you."
"Oh? What kind of ability is it this time?"
"Mars Beam! This is a beam-type ability capable of reducing the enemies it strikes down to particles scattered across various universes. Even if an enemy is capable of reviving through particle recombination, this ability can scatter their particles across different universes."
"Wow, isn't this just as powerful as that Ultraman among the Four Ultimate Ultramen who specializes in molecular annihilation?"
"Hmm... what was that Ultraman's name again? But none of that matters, Mars is truly amazing!"
Saize felt secretly delighted; such a powerful ability would undoubtedly elevate his strength to a whole new level.
He concentrated, attempting to mobilize the energy within his body, and saw a red beam shoot from his hand, instantly piercing through the wall ahead.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Saize exclaimed in wonder.
However, he also realized that this ability needed to be used with caution to avoid accidentally injuring anyone.
Just then, the System's voice sounded again: "Host, Mars says that if you can find a suitable vessel, you can also pass this ability down."
Saize's eyes lit up as he thought: Perhaps I can teach this ability to Zett so he can possess great power as well.
Before that, however, he decided to thoroughly study this miraculous ability to better master and utilize it.
After a night of research, Saize had grasped the basics of the Mars Beam. As for that wall... Saize had begged the System all night until the System reluctantly helped him fix it. Later on, he transmitted a sliver of the Mars Beam's energy to Zett and taught him how to use it. When Zett tried to release it, he could only produce a burst of light clinging to his hand. Although it couldn't instantly kill enemies like a true beam, it could still deal massive damage to opponents.
After a short while, Ace came looking for the two of them again. "Little ones, today I'm taking you to enroll in the Ultraman Academy," Ace said with a smile. Thus, Saize and Zett followed Ace to the Ultraman Academy. Upon arrival, after registering their student status, Ace said earnestly to Saize, "Saize, you and Zett must study hard here from now on!" Saize nodded earnestly. At that moment, a young Ultraman with two horns on his head walked over.
"Uncle Ace, I told you to use my official title at school."
"Ah, right. Taiga," looking at Saize and Zett, Taiga asked, "Teacher, are these two the new students?"
"Yes, Zett and Saize. This is your class monitor. Get acquainted. I have matters to attend to, so I'm leaving." With that, he flew away. Before long, the few of them had already gotten well acquainted.
