Ultraman: The Serious Talents Become Light

Princess, dead!
When Queen Pedan sealed off the scene, when all the powerful beings in the universe frowned, and when countless buttons surged in silence.

The princess's body appeared.

Queen Pedan knelt in front of the corpse, her expression as calm as a mirror and her aura as cold as ice.

"check!"

The calm voice, yet filled with extreme anger, echoed among the guests.

No one expected that Princess Pedan would encounter an accident at Queen Pedan's birthday party.

If this matter cannot be solved, I am afraid the whole universe will be plunged into a bloody storm.

An assassin?
Is it an enemy?
still is……

"Where is the prince?"

The queen stood up, her eyes fixed on the princess's body without a trace of lingering love.

prince!

At this time, Takano Jun suddenly realized that Prince Pedan had not appeared yet. Logically speaking, even if he was not the person in charge of welcoming guests at such a grand birthday banquet, he should at least show up.

Everyone's eyes turned between each other, searching for the non-existent prince.

"The prince is not here."

"The prince is not here!"

The first sentence was a servant's whisper in the queen's ear, and the second sentence came from the general of the Empire Star.

The general is the best in the entire banquet in terms of strength, age, and status, so he naturally doesn't need to care about the queen's face.

He walked out of the crowd, and the others immediately made way for a wide passage.

The general said, "The prince of Pedan has not appeared yet. I think everyone should understand that we don't need to investigate."

Except for the humans on Earth, any other person present is strong enough to destroy a planet. They can naturally sense the change in the number of people in this huge banquet in an instant.

The queen glanced at the general without changing her expression, waved her hand, and asked the servants to lift up the princess's body.

Just then, a voice sounded: "Wait a moment, Your Majesty."

Everyone turned around and saw that the person who made the voice was the commander of the planet Mefilas. The commander walked forward a few steps calmly and performed a gentleman's greeting towards the queen and everyone present.

"It's too hasty to take the princess away so quickly. Although I believe that no one here is the murderer, since everyone is here, there is suspicion of murder. Your Majesty, should we investigate the murderer first?"

The attendant said: "We need to know the cause of the princess' death, so we must first..."

The commander said, "Everyone present here is a veteran who has experienced many battles. The various injuries in the universe are nothing more than worthless medals to you. Can't you see the cause of the princess' death in front of so many strong people?"

Aliens are not like people on Earth. They may have positions such as forensic doctors and coroners, but in the eyes of beings like the Ultra Brothers, these professionals are simply not needed.

They can determine the cause of death based on their own combat experience.

"No need." The queen looked at her superior: "The princess died of soul destruction."

The Queen’s words are the final word.

Soul destroyed!

As the name suggests, it means the destruction of the soul.

Such means can generally only be accomplished by those with strong willpower and spirit.

Jun Takano, who was watching from the sidelines, thought that his level of telekinesis was not enough to eliminate the princess so quietly.

So……

His eyes fell on the powerful people present one after another. They were stronger than Takano Jun and it would be easier for them to kill the princess.

Could it be them?
When the word "Soul Destruction" appeared, everyone present frowned, and the scope of suspicion in their hearts became smaller and smaller, but they did not rashly narrow the scope.

After all, no one knows whether one of the people present holds a spiritual secret.

At the same time, the people present will not offend others under such circumstances.

"Your Majesty, the prince has arrived."

The magnificent door opened, and a prince in gorgeous attire rushed in, his face showing fear, surprise, and a hint of barely perceptible excitement.

Pfft!
The anxious prince slid directly from one end of the dance floor to the other and came to the queen's side. He quickly took a look at the princess's condition, then lowered his head and said, "Mother, I'm late."

Snapped!
The loud slap left a red mark on the prince's cheek.

"Yes! You are late. Why are you so late at a time like this? What are you doing? What have you done?"

Even the dumbest person in the world could hear the doubt in the Queen's question.

The queen suspected that the prince had killed the princess!
Such a scene naturally caused an uproar among everyone, but such an uproar only existed in their hearts.

No one wanted to offend the queen at this time.

The prince knelt on the ground, with an ugly look on his face. He choked and said, "Mother, I am preparing a gift for you."

"Gift?"

The Queen glared: "A gift that will scare me?"

Is your gift the princess's body?

Everyone present understood the queen's hidden meaning.

The prince quickly replied: "Mother, it is really a gift, the gift will arrive soon, really..."

Before he could finish his words, two people came to the door, holding a tall portrait between them. The portrait showed the Iron City of Pedan, the Queen of Pedan in the palace, and the princess and prince beside the queen.

This painting is more than four meters long.

Anyone with a sharp eye could tell that the ink on this painting had not yet dried, and it was a masterpiece that had just been completed.

"Did you draw this?" the Queen asked after taking a look at the painting.

The prince replied, "Yes, mother, this is my gift."

For a queen like her, there are very few things in the world that can impress her, so the prince took a different approach and wanted to impress the queen with his own achievements and family affection.

This huge painting of his is proof of that.

He spent a long time collecting all the details of the Steel City by himself, and then copied and painted it stroke by stroke.

"Have a heart."

The queen sent the prince away with just one sentence.

She waved to the servants to carry away the princess's body.

The prince embraced the servant and raised his tearful eyes: "Mother, are you really like this? Can't my sister's death move you?"

The prince stood up, questioning in his tone: "We should find the murderer now, not just wave our hands."

The queen looked at the prince and said calmly, "Then you will investigate."

……

Everyone's eyes were focused on the prince. He took the handkerchief handed over by the servant, wiped his cheek, and then held his clothes in a serious manner.

His eyes first fell on his sister on the ground, and then he said to everyone, "Everyone, I'm very sorry, no matter how urgent your business is, you have to stay."

Everyone nodded in unison.

In such a situation, anyone who wants to get out is a murderer.

But everyone present also understood that no one would go out at this time. According to everyone's plan, this banquet would last for several days or even dozens of days, and their duties had already been handed over to others.

The prince turned to look at Jun Kono and said, "Please help Ultraman Freya."

Everyone followed his gaze and focused on Jun Takano. Jun Takano frowned, but still walked out.

He said, "I'm not a forensic doctor, I'm just a soldier. What do you want me to do for you?"

The prince said, "Please ask Ultraman Freya to keep an eye on everyone present."

Takano Jun spoke up and emphasized: "If this is the case, Ultraman Zoffy, His Excellency the Imperial General, and Commander Mefilas can all do it."

Prince: "But the most fair one is Ultraman Freya."

Takano Jun was stunned and looked at the prince.

The most fair?
If this sentence were to happen to him, he would laugh out loud.

But if we consider his status, he might be the one standing in the middle.

The dazzling light and the strong darkness in the universe are all reflected in Jun Takano's figure. He stands between light and darkness, half belonging to light and half belonging to darkness. In terms of his standpoint, he cannot lean towards either side here, otherwise he will be hated by the other side.

"Well, this is a troublesome matter. After all, everyone present is stronger than me." Takano Jun said helplessly to everyone: "Please give me some face and don't move around casually."

The prince squatted down and knelt beside the princess. He touched the princess' forehead with his fingers and closed his eyes.

"Soul destroyed." The prince shook his head: "This is not a simple matter."

"Of course it's not easy. He died in destruction right under our noses." The general's deep voice made everyone around him tremble. "If we calculate the strength in this way, no one in the universe can do this except the Rebrando people."

The general is very strong, at the same level as Ultra Father in the universe. He can use his mental power to destroy the princess right under his nose. No one can do this except the ultimate spiritual life form, the Rebrando star.

"Impossible." x2
Zoffy and Takano Jun said in unison.

As the person who sealed Rebrando personally, Jun Takano is sure that the ultimate life form is still in prison. If there are any changes in the mysterious prison, he will definitely be able to sense it?
The general's gaze shifted from Zoffy to Jun Kono. He had never seen Ultraman Freya before. Compared to Max and Mebius who have recently become famous in the universe, Ultraman Freya was only famous because of his identity as an evil general.

"Really? If you are so sure, then there is only one answer."

The general stared at the princess's body and said, "Your Highness, you died voluntarily."

After these words were spoken, the people around could no longer contain their inner uproar.

Voluntary death?

Isn't this a joke?
Just a while ago, the princess had a smile on her face and was standing at the port to greet them. How could she be thinking about committing suicide in such a short time?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"General, your statement is very unexpected." Commander Mefilas said calmly, "You know, we just met the princess not long ago, and her joyful mood is well known to everyone. Suicide is not a convincing statement."

"Did I say it was suicide?" The general glanced at his superior, and his tall and strong body blocked his superior's way. "I never said the princess committed suicide."

Commander: “Then…”

"Voluntary death does not mean suicide. She died voluntarily, but the murderer was someone else. There must be a result. There can be no other result."

The general spoke with great force: "No one can quietly wipe out the princess's soul under my nose, unless the princess cooperates herself."

What the general said made a lot of sense, which won the approval of strong men like the Ultra Brothers. However, they couldn't understand why the princess would cooperate with death.

There were so few clues that everyone was really confused. The prince had no way of finding any clues here, so he went to the princess's room.

Jun Takano withdrew his gaze from the crowd and fell on the princess's face which was as white as mist.

The figures around him gradually faded away, and the sounds became quieter and quieter.

The princess, who was so tired from receiving guests that her back ached, sat down at the harbor to rest. The bored Jun Takano came to her side with an ice cream in his hand.

"I thought the reception would be from the prince." Takano Jun handed an ice cream to the princess. "From what I know about him, he won't miss the opportunity to show off in front of all the powerful people."

The princess took the ice cream and licked it with her pink tongue. The coldness stimulated her fatigue. "This banquet will last a long time, and there will be many opportunities to show my face. Standing here to welcome guests is the most thankless opportunity."

Takano Jun said: "So you are the one who likes to do thankless tasks?"

"I'm not, I just..." The princess sighed, "I want to try again. After all, who doesn't want to sit on the throne of the king?"

"You really are someone who likes to do things that are thankless." Takano Jun chuckled, "Wouldn't it be nice to be free like me?"

"There aren't many people as heartless as you, and I happen to be one of them."

The princess glanced at the densely packed spaceships at the port and said, "Let's go to my room and talk."

"Then here..."

The princess said bluntly: "The next ones to come are the subordinate civilizations. I don't need to give them face."

It is still that place full of girlish hearts.

As soon as the princess entered the room, she threw away her reserved manners and threw herself on the soft bed like a madman: "Huh~ The bed is still soft."

Takano Jun had been to this room many times. He opened the princess' candy with ease and took a big bite: "Tsk, so sweet."

The princess didn't even want to get up, she just glanced and shouted, "Don't touch my candy."

Takano Jun sat on the sofa and looked out the window: "On Earth, the prince came to me. He wanted to be king..."

"Even if you don't say it, I know that he has never concealed his ambitions. You also know that he even wants to kill me."

"How many times has he tried to assassinate you in these ten years? Ten times?"

"One hundred times."

This number seemed like a joke, but Jun Takano felt that it should be true.

Takano Jun said: "What a crazy guy, why didn't you kill him?"

The princess curled her lips and sighed, "He may have already been designated as the king. The best I can do now is beat him half to death."

In that future where Pedan is destroyed, it is the princess who finally becomes king.

However, now, in order to change the broader future, Queen Pedan has shifted all her attention from the princess to the prince.
