Who made him Ultraman!

Chapter 203 Unfortunately, your will cannot be determined by yourself (4.2K)

In the world of tokusatsu (special effects) films, Ultraman solves problems. But what about in a world where Ultraman doesn't exist?

……

The pure light broke through the shackles of the universe, allowing other universes to shine with the light of Ultra.

……

All the Ultra Warriors risked their lives to create their dream utopia, a dream world filled with light.

The persecution and suffering brought by monsters and aliens in the dark world have vanished in the world of light.

No one needs to worry about being crushed to death by an alien creature falling from the sky while they are asleep.

No one needs to worry that their homeland will be invaded and ruled by aliens who are far stronger than them.

This world was so ideal, so perfect, that Yu Chen even called it a dream.

The artificial Nexus had to admit that the world described by the other party was indeed enticing.

Or rather... Yu Chen's stories were just too captivating.

Just because someone doesn't want to take responsibility doesn't mean they aren't disgusted by those dark and evil forces.

Therefore... even if he possesses Yu Chen's memories, he is completely unable to become the other party.

The two are really very different.

The artificial Nexus suddenly understood why Yu Chen had such an idealistic idea: as a human, he wanted to create a world so beautiful that it could only be imagined in dreams.

Because he was a person with a tragic life in his previous life, and just when he broke free from the shackles of debt and gained his freedom, nightmarish cancer cells afflicted him.

As his life was drawing to a close, he encountered a massive fire.

But he, a man who had suffered so much, did not extend a helping hand to another man who had suffered so much.

The fire burned everything away, but it also burned away all the filth in his heart.

Only those who have experienced hardship can have beautiful dreams for the future, and only those who carry heavy burdens want to lighten their load.

Only someone who has been caught in the rain will offer an umbrella to someone else, because they know how uncomfortable it is to be caught in the rain and don't want others to experience that feeling.

Many people ridicule idealists, thinking their ideas are fantastical and detached from reality. But little do they know that 90% of the world's changes are spearheaded by idealists.

They are willing to pay any price to see and experience the ideal world in their hearts.

There is no such thing as a "realist" in the world; it is a concept that was created later.

Once a person enters school, learns to read and write, and is exposed to new things and new knowledge, they will instinctively develop fantasies about the future, which is the prototype of an idealist.

As students are exposed to more and more things, they become idealists because they are full of ideals and their way of thinking is not so complicated.

But the moment they stepped out of school, the heavy weight of "reality" crashed down on them, and many of them realized—

Oh... so this isn't what I expected.

After they learned what it meant to support their families and take responsibility, they transformed from energetic and ambitious young people into listless and lethargic middle-aged adults.

When they see the ideals of students in school again, they will sneer and laugh, saying things like "young" and "still just kids," and eventually become realists.

But as life becomes increasingly difficult, some people will want to pursue the world they fantasized about in their youth.

Finally, he uttered those soul-stirring words: "I feel the world shouldn't be like this."

Although Yu Chen's life in his previous life was full of hardship, he was still considered one of the best on Earth.

But after three years in Ganon, he suddenly realized that the setbacks and troubles he had encountered before were nothing but child's play.

Even if the work is tiring and you suffer a lot, you can still achieve your goal in the end, at least without risking your life, right?

At least they won't be like the people of Ganon, whose king surrendered the day after the enemy attacked. They were the ones who truly had no future.

A single blow from the monster can kill dozens of people.

Despite the desperate efforts of the Earthlings in the Ultraman Tiga era, including appealing to all the gods, they could not change the fate of their home being destroyed.

So, since I suffered so much in my past life, and I've already endured so much hardship, this life...

They were fortunate to be reborn and gained strength.

Then let's dedicate ourselves to creating the ideal world in our hearts.

Perhaps in that world, people will still have a hard life, but at least they won't be in danger of losing their lives.

His answer was to single-handedly suppress everyone in the world, leaving no one as equal to him.

Thinking about this, the artificial Nexus felt a strange sense of admiration for Yu Chen.

It's hard to imagine that this is the thought of an ordinary human being.

Is it really possible for someone to experience all kinds of suffering, suddenly gain great power, and still be able to control their mind and body, refrain from committing crimes and killing innocent people, and instead dedicate themselves to ensuring that everyone suffers as little as possible?
Yes, yes, there really is one right in front of him.

But... Yu Chen's last words shattered all his illusions.

Therefore... I will never allow anyone to tarnish this light.

Light is pure and brings hope, as do the warriors of light in people's eyes.

Yu Chen doesn't want to see anyone using the persona of an Ultraman to commit evil deeds.

The other party... was clearly referring to himself.

The artificial Nexus forced out a single word from its throat, its eyes filled with resentment.

"I……"

"I wanted to replace you, but that wasn't my intention. My true intention was to say those things after we started fighting... or more precisely, after you knocked me down."

"Can you understand? Something is influencing my will."

As he spoke, the artificial Nexus tried to shake hands with Yu Chen to make peace, but when he had this thought, his heart was overwhelmed by strong hostility.

It was as if someone had forcibly implanted an instruction in his head: he must defeat and replace Nexus!

As he finished speaking, Yu Chen's tone softened:
"I can understand why the Earth has become so chaotic. Many innocent people who shouldn't have died have lost their lives, and the deaths of the Ultra Brothers are all related to that guy."

"I haven't found any trace of him yet. I've never seen an enemy like this before. It's as if he doesn't exist at all, just some kind of concept."

Upon hearing this, the artificial Nexus felt a surge of joy. Did this mean that he could escape disaster?
No matter what, he's half Yu Chen, or a third of Yu Chen, right?

We're all on the same side, there's no need to be ruthless, really!
Just as his joy began to well up, a bucket of cold water was poured over him.

"But... my understanding doesn't mean I'll change my mind."

"I've already taken down several imposters like you before, why do you think you can escape this time?"

"Just because you were born because of me? Because you possess some of my memories? So you think I would pity you?"

"You are wrong. In any case, you are a creation born from that enemy hiding in the shadows. Keeping you around will only bring endless trouble."

"Keeping you alive is not only irresponsible to me, but also to the safety of other people's lives. Who knows when you might suddenly go crazy and turn against us?"

“It’s impossible to leave you alone. I’ve always hated letting a tiger return to the mountain, and I can’t understand the person who did such a thing and stopped me from pursuing the enemy.”

After saying this, Yu Chen paused, his eyes completely devoid of emotion as he looked at the artificial Nexus:
“I understand you and I believe in you. You are not a bad person at heart. You are just an ordinary person who doesn’t want to get involved in many things. You just want to live an honest life and live a peaceful life.”

"But unfortunately, your will cannot be determined by yourself."

Upon hearing the last sentence, the artificial Nexus knelt down with a thud, his face ashen, even his eyes dimming. He raised his head, looked silently at Yu Chen, then raised his arms, opening them as if to welcome him.

"Then come on."

"If one day, and I mean if, you've done everything you want to do, and everyone in the thousands of parallel universes doesn't have to worry about being persecuted by the forces of darkness... can I take a look?"

"Resurrecting the dead shouldn't have been difficult for you at that time, after all, the Four Mysterious Ones all possess powers that we cannot even imagine."

"Please say yes, okay?"

"Consider it as a favor because I was born because of you."

After speaking, the artificial Nexus looked at Yu Chen quietly, waiting expectantly for his reply.

But then, a dazzling white light filled his vision, which then turned into complete darkness. He felt as if he were falling into boundless darkness, with an extremely strong sense of weightlessness.

"Heh, it seems that won't work?"

"Yes, my standards are too high."

With his last thought in mind, the consciousness of the artificial Nexus began to fade away.

But in his final moments before vanishing completely, he heard a sentence—

"maybe."

Upon hearing this ambiguous answer, Nai felt relieved, and his consciousness completely vanished.

His body also broke free of disguise and transformed into the appearance of a Zarab alien.

But at this moment, the Zarab alien was beyond dead, his bones were shattered, his internal organs were ruptured, and his body was limp and lifeless.

Mimicking Nexus, after being possessed by a mysterious force, one will indeed possess some or all of the original owner's abilities.

However, its body is still essentially that of an alien, and it will not become as resilient as the original owner.

Yu Chen possessed the power of the Golden Dragon, and the artificial Nai also had some of it. The two of them clashed repeatedly, and the power unleashed by each collision was enough to kill the Zarab alien instantly.

But... this time, the artificial Nai is a little special.

Yu Chen clearly remembered that Zoffy, who was impersonated by the Babar alien, was easily killed by him in the skies above Kobe last time, revealing Babar's true form.

Why is it that when it comes to the artificial Nai, he only reverts to Zarab's appearance after his consciousness has completely disappeared?
Is it because of her own special characteristics? Or is it because she is human and different from other Ultra Warriors, which gives the artificial Naya these special features?
Yu Chen didn't think much about this issue. Perhaps the mysterious force's interference ability had evolved again, making these imposters even more resilient.

His communication with the artificial Nai was actually quite disappointing.

Previously, when GUYS was testing the evolution capsule, he met the artificial Nai for the first time, but due to time constraints, the two did not have a chance to communicate.

So he was really looking forward to seeing what his other self would be like.
But when I looked at it today... it was nothing special.

In short, the artificial Nai is just an ordinary person who possesses some of his memories and powers.

That's why the other side said things like, "There's no need for him to fight so hard; it's not worth it."

He had thought... if their personalities were really the same as his, they could truly become companions.

Yu Chen believed that the other party could resist the mental imprint set by the mysterious force.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in reality.

What he said to Nai was not a lie or a deception, but truly his heartfelt words.

The world of tokusatsu is wonderful, but that's because the main perspective is from Earth, and there's a constant stream of Ultra Warriors to protect Earthlings.

Even so, many innocent people will still perish in attacks by monsters or aliens, because Ultra Warriors are not gods and cannot be all-encompassing and take care of everything.

If Earth, protected by Ultra Warriors, is in such a state, then what about those civilizations that haven't been illuminated by light? Are they just waiting to be slaughtered?
So... what should we do? Only by completely preventing evil from running rampant.

The Land of Light has been fighting against evil forces, but unfortunately, their power is not strong enough in the context of the entire universe. There are too many evil forces to eliminate them all.

The only one with the ability to save many people from disaster, the King of Ultra, was unwilling to get involved in these matters.

Perhaps the King of Ultra believed that this was the natural law of the universe, and that all of this was perfectly normal.

But... he really wanted to try and see if he, or rather Noah's power, could suppress all the evil forces and prevent them from raising their heads.

Even though he was eventually stopped by the awakened Noah and the other three legendary warriors, the situation then was much better than it is now.

And perhaps... the other three won't stop him?

How will you know if you don't try?

Evolution...playing...resurrection...

The road ahead is still long.

As for what he said to Nai in the end, it wasn't entirely a lie.

If one day everything he envisions can actually come true, why not have one more audience member?

To be precise... they are unfortunate people who have been utterly crushed by reality.

Yu Chen stopped thinking; this battle had been extremely difficult.

The artificial Nai's strength is somewhat inferior to his, but that doesn't mean he can achieve a crushing victory.

Putting aside the disadvantages, evenly matched or slightly advantageous battles are the most tiring because they involve a considerable amount of time spent in close combat.

He couldn't deal with it as simply and brutally as he would with the Imperial aliens or other monsters.

After all, he can use beams, and so can artificial Nai; their skills are the same, making their fight even more intense and evenly matched.

"I wonder how things are outside."

"I hope that after the Meta Realm is dispelled, I will be able to see all three of them."

Yu Chen closed his eyes and raised his hand to dispel the Meta Domain.

As for why there are three people?
If one person is absent, it means... something else has happened.

The Meta Domain suddenly dissipated, and he appeared in the sky, his body enveloped by thin white clouds.

When Yu Chen opened his eyes, all he saw was... Mebius.

His heart skipped a beat; sure enough... something had happened!

"Yuchen, you're finally out!"

"I'm so glad you're okay!"

Mebius was genuinely happy for Yu Chen. How difficult must it have been for him to fight against him? And yet... the result was so quick.

However, Yu Chen reached out and pointed behind him.

"Wait, the future, that's...?"

He turned around and looked in the direction Yu Chen was pointing.

Not far below the two, Triga and Evil Tiga were suspended in the air, and in front of them...

The sky shattered like a mirror, revealing a blood-red interior space.

The sinister laughter unique to the Yapools rang in everyone's ears!
