Who made him Ultraman!
Chapter 210 When the costs outweigh the benefits, those evil forces will not dare to act recklessly!
Did you find out the news?
Another timeline, interfering in internal affairs?
Upon hearing this, Yu Chen immediately recalled the various events that had occurred a few months ago on the water planet Nuok in the O-50 timeline.
Because of their weak tribal strength, the remaining territory of the Kibli tribe was coveted by the Siroko tribe.
The Sirocco leadership consists of an extreme group of warmongers, each of them thinking about expansion and aggression, wanting to directly seize the Kibli tribe and take their territory for themselves.
Although the chieftain of the Sirocco tribe had a fierce and ruthless appearance, he was a rare rationalist. He was forced by a group of pro-war factions to offer a humiliating treaty for the Kibli tribe to sign.
The chief of the Kibli tribe... was no good either; he attempted to use the power of Kai's Ultra Warriors to wipe out the entire Sirocco tribe's leadership.
Salamni, the daughter of the Sirok chieftain, approached Kai, and then approached Jugglus and himself who had arrived in Nuok.
Upon learning of the situation, Yu Chen immediately made a judgment: if this situation were left unchecked, the Kibli tribe would definitely be annexed by the Xiluoke tribe.
However, if they were to interfere, it would violate the unwritten rule that Ultra Warriors must not interfere in the internal affairs of other civilizations.
He didn't care about the rule at the time because he couldn't bear to watch genocide happen before his eyes.
So... he chose to intervene militarily, giving the Xiroko tribe a warning and forcing them to sit down and shake hands with the Kibli chieftain to make peace. In the end, the two tribes decided not to fight each other and to work together to create a better future.
This wasn't the best option, but... it was the best option he could come up with.
He had thought at the time that if Max had been there, he would never have interfered.
And now... Max has come knocking on our door.
Yu Chen asked curiously:
How do you know about that timeline?
There are many parallel universes in the vast universe. How did Max manage to find that particular time and space and learn about the Nuok civilization?
Upon hearing this, not only the future, but also Kengo and Masaki Keigo were filled with question marks.
What other dimension? What interfering civilization?
Did Yu Chen do something special without their knowledge?
Upon seeing that Yu Chen did not hide anything, Higashima Kaito readily explained:
"I possess the ability to travel through time and space, which is extremely rare even in the Land of Light."
"Therefore, I was specially assigned as a parallel universe planet observer to travel to other civilizations and conduct planetary observations."
"The civilization that you interfered with is one of the planets I observed."
"The planet looked completely different, no longer showing any signs of the previous devastation caused by war. I pretended to be a local and inquired around, and eventually... learned the whole story."
Was it merely a coincidence? Yu Chen didn't dwell on that, but instead asked:
"How is Nuok doing now? Tell me in detail, I'm quite curious."
Kaito Toma lifted his eyelids, reminiscing about the past:
"The situation is much better than before. The Kibli and Sirok tribes have stopped fighting and have begun to engage in cultural exchanges and trade."
"The Nuok only has two tribes, so when they stopped fighting, it meant the war was over."
"According to my observation, the speed of civilization development far exceeds that of the past. If this continues, it may only take one or two hundred years to enter the industrial age."
"In fact... the Nuok civilization may develop much faster than Earth."
Yu Chen suddenly interjected:
"Because there are no unstable factors like war and separatism, right?"
Kaito Toma nodded slightly.
“You’re right. I’ve observed many civilizations, and the biggest factors restricting their development are war and internal instability.”
"If a country or power wants to promote militarism and imperialism and extend its expansionist and aggressive hand elsewhere, then that civilization is not far from its demise."
"In a civilization, only a very few countries are on the right path of development, while the rest are unable to take care of themselves, dragged down by internal strife or war, and the majority of the remaining countries are in a state of extreme poverty and underdevelopment."
Yu Chen also strongly agreed with this point.
Because it all corresponds to his previous life on Earth.
Imagine if all unstable factors disappeared. If there were a suitable, universally trusted leader to guide development, with him reaping the rewards and the rest enjoying the spoils, the speed of global civilization's development would likely increase many times over.
But this is an extremely futuristic scenario, almost impossible to achieve.
Let alone unifying numerous nations on Earth like the Earth Federation or the Earth United Government, even finding a dominant leader that doesn't extend its reach outwards is extremely difficult.
Then, Kaito Toma continued:
“I have to admit that what you did put the Nuok civilization on the right track for development.”
He rarely praised Yu Chen.
In the future, Kengo, Masaki Keigo, and the other two will not know the truth of the matter, but they can roughly analyze what happened by listening to Yu Chen and the other two's words.
Did Yu Chen intervene in a war-torn planet, bringing it to an end and onto the right path of development?
Huh? Ultraman can actually do something like this?
But then, Kaito Toma abruptly changed the subject:
"However, if I may be so bold, I cannot condone your actions."
"Ultraman warriors cannot interfere in the internal affairs of civilized beings according to their own will; this is a taboo among taboos."
“All Ultra Warriors are aware of this rule, and no one will break it.”
So they really came? Yu Chen wasn't surprised at all. If Max knew about this, he would definitely give him a lecture.
He immediately found an example and threw it at them;
"Really? Then why would Ultraseven be willing to fight against the native inhabitants of Earth, the Nonmats, for the sake of the human invaders?"
"So Seven went to the space prison, and those who break the rules must be punished."
Yu Chen stared calmly at Toma Kaito:
"Are you also going to report me to the space prison and have me arrested?"
Kaito Toma shook his head slightly:
“You are not from the Land of Light, and there is no cosmic prison in that timeline, so you can rest assured. The reason I am telling you this is simply because I think it is inappropriate to do so.”
"So what do you think is the best course of action?"
"Not interfering or meddling is the best course of action."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chen immediately retorted:
"Since you know about the past of the Kibli and Sirocco tribes, you should also know that if we don't intervene, the Kibli people will definitely be wiped out by the Sirocco tribe, right?"
"The war faction of the Sirocco tribe doesn't care about the Kibli people. To them, the existence of these people is actually detrimental to their rule. They have always only wanted Kibli land."
“When I arrived in Nuok, friction had already begun between the two sides, and many people were working hard for peace. It was because of these people that I intervened. If I had let it go and turned a blind eye, many innocent lives would have been lost.”
"So, Max, you know all this, but you're unwilling to get involved?" After hearing Yu Chen's words, Touma Kaito remained unmoved, his face still expressionless.
"My stance is very clear: I will not interfere or meddle."
"What I need to do is to record the history of these two tribes and the reasons for their conflict. This is the duty of a planetary observer."
Yu Chen frowned slightly:
"Then what is your duty as an Ultra Warrior?"
"To weigh good and evil, light and darkness, and to maintain peace in the universe, isn't that the duty of the Ultra Warriors?"
"From the moment I received the light, I chose to live for others."
"Ultraman fights for the happiness of people, and I have always believed that. People are not just human beings, but any kind and innocent life form in the universe."
"Therefore, I cannot bear to see the Kibli tribe being slaughtered like this. In addition, I would like to say that if the Sirocco tribe is left unchecked and continues on this path of expansion... if their technology develops in the future, they will definitely become cosmic invaders and embark on the path of invading other civilizations."
"I foresaw this future, so I chose to contain it in advance."
Others might say at this point that what you're doing is useless, because Nuok is just a tiny speck in the universe. You've interfered with them, but there are billions of other civilizations. Do you think you can interfere with them all one by one? You'd be exhausted!
But he believed Max wouldn't say that.
As expected, after hearing his words, Kaito Toma's expression showed a rare hint of disbelief, like ripples spreading across a calm lake.
"The power of the Ultra Warriors can be easily abused. Not all civilizations in the universe are benevolent. Once the power is out of balance, it will cause even more serious consequences."
"This is one of the reasons why this rule was established."
Yuchen continued:
"I understand, because my companion, a very kind and somewhat naive Ultra Warrior, was almost taken advantage of and nearly caused a disaster."
“I am confident in my actions, which is why I choose to intervene.”
“I know this approach is not the optimal solution, but it is the best solution I can come up with.”
"The best approach is naturally to change the mindset of all Nuok people from the heart, to make them understand that war is the worst policy and a zero-sum game. Cooperation and win-win is the best policy. Putting aside hatred and looking to the future is good for all citizens."
"But... not only would people with less advanced civilizations not listen to such words, but even people with a slightly more advanced and modern civilization like Earth would not listen to them."
"Because not everyone in the world is smart, and... most people are short-sighted."
"Cooperation and mutual benefit do not bring immediate benefits and may even provoke opposition from the pro-war faction within the organization, because it does not conform to traditional understanding. But war and aggression do. If I beat you today and take your land and resources, I win!"
As he spoke, Higashima Kaito gradually understood why Yu Chen did what he did.
The ideal of a world in harmony is a beautiful vision, but how could it be so easily achieved?
Of all the planets he observed... none of them were like what Yu Chen described, where all forces cooperated and achieved mutual benefit, looking towards the future together.
There are many reasons why some people don't believe it, some are short-sighted, and some are caught up in vested interests without being able to act on their own...
In the midst of his thoughts, he suddenly understood:
"So, instead of killing all the aggressors, you used force to suppress both sides, forcing them to abandon the path of war and aggression?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Chen looked utterly astonished:
“How could I possibly take action? If the Sirocco tribe had already started a war, I would have sanctioned the management, but they haven’t yet, so there’s still a chance to salvage the situation.”
"How about this, I'll tell you a principle that a certain thinker once said."
"When the profit margin reaches 10%, some people start to get restless."
"If the profit margin reaches 50%, some people will be willing to take risks."
"If profits reach 100%, they will dare to trample on all human laws."
"Once the profit margin reaches 300%, these people will be unafraid of even the gallows and will dare to commit any crime!"
"When profits reach a critical point, morality will completely collapse and social order will completely break down."
Kaito Toma listened to these words without saying anything more; he simply listened silently.
"Conversely, when costs exceed profits and benefits, those evil forces will not dare to act recklessly!"
"Just like those war-loving faction of the Sirocco tribe, they can't do anything or survive without war and invasion, but why are they now willing to hold their noses and shake hands with the Kibli tribe to make peace?"
"Because I am the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. They know that if they continue to act as before, the giant who descended from the heavens to protect them will turn his hand on them, and they will die!"
"War can indeed bring huge profits, but if they do that, those managers and decision-makers will almost certainly die. Do you think they would still start a war?"
"No, people are afraid of death. That's why I chose to do this. I suffocate them and make them afraid to act recklessly."
"That's the meaning of the law: it makes crime costly, but that's all it is..."
“My intervention is to make this cost infinitely large, so that the benefits they gain cannot exceed this cost, and naturally, any unstable factors will no longer exist.”
Yu Chen was full of boastful talk, and he never changed his mind about this idea.
If the management who make decisions are kept in check, then those below will naturally not dare to act recklessly.
His words to the Siroko and Kibli people were not empty talk.
Although he was unaware of Nuok's situation, he had left something like a mark on that star. As long as war broke out, he would be able to detect it and open a portal to Nuok in a short time, so that he could bring down divine punishment!
He acquired this ability after obtaining his original form, initially thinking it was useless, but it turned out to be quite useful.
Kaito Toma sighed softly:
"If the costs outweigh the benefits, will evil forces dare not act recklessly...?"
"You used your power to suppress them and prevent them from moving."
"This is the same as the governance system of a certain civilization or power that I know. That is, strongman politics, where the strongman relies on his own superior means to suppress all opposition and drag the entire power forward by his own strength."
"But when a strongman passes away, the power will immediately fall apart, and there will be no chance to recover."
"You should know what I'm talking about."
Kaito Toma couldn't find a better, more immediate solution, so he could only tell Yu Chen in this way that it wouldn't last.
He had thought that Yu Chen would pause on this road for a while, but he didn't expect... the other party had no intention of stopping at all, but wanted to go all the way to the end!
“I understand, because… Nuok is just the beginning.”
"My ultimate goal is to make all the evil forces in the entire universe and all parallel universes afraid to make a move."
"In this way, many innocent people will not be caught up in the war and die."
"This is my ideal... utopian world." (End of Chapter)
