Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"Ah...ah, okay."

Hayata Shinjiro was surprised that his unspoken doubts had been seen through, and he blushed with embarrassment. But Ed understood that this was a way of telling him that the so-called X-space could not be his reliance. To be honest, Ed felt that Gen Subaru was being too cautious. Based on his performance just now, how could he dare to play those little tricks within seven steps of him?

"Let's start with the basics. I, Eid, a Zettonian, am actually the Supreme Councilor of the Star Cluster Council."

"Eh!!!!"

"What?! What did you say?!"

“Mr. Ed, this is not the time for jokes.”

Upon hearing this, the Ultraman characters widened their eyes in shock, blurting out their own thoughts. However, Subaru and Ed didn't seem inclined to pay them any attention. They exchanged glances, their eyes calm. Then, Ed continued:

"As for why I conceal my identity and exist here, it is to exterminate Ultraman!"

"If the truth is exactly what you just said, then I'll kill you right now!"

Ed's words quickly calmed everyone present. Moroboshi Dan immediately pushed up his glasses with a cold look, staring at Ed with murderous intent, and said, "..." At the same time, Hokuto Seiji asked, also puzzled:

"Wasn't it Ed who created the new Ultraman in the Science Special Search Party? Does that mean you created the new Ultraman to kill the original Ultraman?"

"Calm down, everyone, don't interrupt him."

At this moment, Subaru waved his hand, stopping the Ultraman and Mitsuhiro Ide from their agitation. He casually conjured chairs from light particles and pushed them towards everyone. Then, he sat down first, as if waiting to hear a fairy tale, and said softly:

"Let the Zettonians finish what they have to say. With me here, it doesn't matter whether it's an open scheme or a conspiracy."

Indeed, in the face of overwhelming power, neither plans nor strategies matter.

Ed sat upright in his chair, looking at Gen Subaru and saying:

"However, what Hokuto Seiji said just now is correct, but before that, I have to explain something else. The Land of Light has not been destroyed, and the so-called phenomenon of cosmic contraction is also a hoax. Mr. Minamoto no Subaru's calculations were not wrong at all. These things have been a lie from the beginning."

"Was the Land of Light forcibly banished to another dimension by your Star Cluster Council using some kind of spatial means?"

Gen Subaru took over the conversation, looked around the room, and said softly:

"Just like this X space."

“You are indeed very clever. After Ultraman left Earth, the Star Cluster Council besieged the Land of Light and ‘sealed off and isolated the Land of Light from the current universe’.”

Ed said with genuine admiration, which was truly heartfelt, since the Star Cluster Council's methods had almost no effect on Genjiro:

"However, there is still one Ultraman in the world. When he was about to be banished from the Land of Light, he abandoned his body and broke out of the seal in the form of an energy body similar to a soul. He then attached himself to a corpse that was drifting in the universe."

"Bermuda."

Gen Subaru casually picked up the conversation and said:

"I've already detected Ultraman's energy reaction, so you don't need to explain any further. Continue."

"...Okay, although Ultraman escaped, his current appearance has little direct connection with the Giant of Light. Therefore, even if the Star Cluster Council wanted to kill Ultraman, they would be struggling to find a target. So, the Star Cluster Council believes it is necessary to create a new Ultraman!"

270 Zetton Core

"So...we were chosen as Ultraman just so we could be killed by the Star Cluster Council?"

Hearing Ed's words, Hayata Shinjiro couldn't help but shout excitedly, to which the Zettonian calmly replied:

"At least so far, that's what they think, the ones who truly control the Star Cluster Council."

"real?"

Gen Subaru raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and said:

"Aren't you the so-called Supreme Speaker? Is there a Supreme Speaker above you?"

"I, as the nominal Speaker of the Council, look very impressive."

Ed said calmly:

"I do have a certain amount of power, and I can give orders to some insignificant people, but I am really just their puppet."

"Since you've revealed that you're a puppet, that means your thoughts are different from theirs."

At this moment, Moroboshi Dan took over the conversation, looking at Ed with sharp eyes and saying:

"Then what do you want?"

"I plan to use this puppet identity to dismantle the Star Cluster Council."

Ed spoke those startling words in a remarkably calm tone:

"And to achieve this goal, I need a new Ultraman to stop [them]."

"But why are those who control the Star Cluster Council so determined to exterminate Ultraman?"

Hayata asked, puzzled:

"Even if Ultraman had a grudge against them, he's already been sealed away, isn't he? Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?"

"Of course it's necessary."

Ed raised his hand and said in a somewhat excited tone:

"Because what they really wanted to kill was the Earthlings' faith in Ultraman! Although the Earthlings have now joined the Star Cluster Council, according to their judgment, the Earthlings are not yet mature enough to be accepted as a member of the universe. In order to allow the Earthlings to grow into a species that can be considered qualified, or it can be said that they made this decision out of goodwill."

"Excuse me, could you please stop for a moment?"

At this moment, Gen Subaru couldn't help but interrupt and say:

"Put aside the so-called Ultraman and faith for now. What are these 'them' you're talking about? Please explain them to me, thank you."

"[They] are—"

Ed looked at Gen Subaru, his single eye flashing with a complex expression, and said:

"【Zetton Core】!"

"what?!"

Gen Subaru paused for a moment, then said in surprise:

"Do you Zettonians even have something like this? [Zetton Core], it sounds quite important. I really didn't expect this, and I've never seen it in any other materials. I've really learned something new. When I encounter Zettonians in other universes in the future, I will definitely pay attention to this and make sure it doesn't slip away."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ed fell silent for a moment, then said helplessly after a long pause:

"Please consider the merit of my self-destruction and spare the lives of my other kin, unless they have committed any unforgivable crimes."

"Let's continue."

Gen Subaru didn't respond to Ed's words. He shifted his posture and casually glanced at the Zettonian in front of him, saying:

"I'm still quite curious about the perspective from which the [Zetton Core] is understood regarding the argument that 'killing those who have faith in Ultraman is actually a form of goodwill'."

"The Ultra race disregarded the will of the Star Cluster Council, the universal representative body, and continued to defend themselves based on their own sense of justice and ethics. Therefore, the Star Cluster Council believed that this would create chaos. They believed that the Ultra race would cause chaos, but on many planets, this chaotic Ultra race was regarded as heroes. Therefore, they also believed that the inhabitants of these planets that worshipped the Ultra race were backward races who did not understand what order was."

"So, under the guise of maintaining order, they exterminated the races they considered to have no hope of growth one by one."

"wipe out?!"

This caused everyone present, except for Genjiro, to widen their eyes in astonishment. Ed went a step further and said:

"That's right. However, what's most terrifying is that the [Zetton Core] had no malicious intent when carrying out the extermination. In other words, no matter how many races they exterminated, it was all out of so-called pure goodwill."

"This kind of kindness is truly surprising."

Yuan Mao chuckled and said that he didn't feel much about the actions of the [Zetton Core]. After all, in terms of slaughtering and exterminating races, the [Zetton Core] might not have killed as many as he had over the years.

"On the surface, this [Zetton Core] seems to be the same as mine."

There was no way to respond to that. Neither Ed nor the Earthlings could find a suitable reply to Subaru's seemingly joking remark. Therefore, they tacitly ignored it. Hayata looked at Ed and said softly:

"The Ultra race does not force others to obey, nor does it easily annihilate a race based on its own judgment. Compared to the [Zeton Core], this is much better. Isn't the [Zeton Core] more chaotic in comparison? Using so-called goodwill to slaughter civilizations in the universe, does the [Zeton Core] want to become a god?"

"That makes sense, but I have to correct one thing."

After thinking for a moment, Minamoto no Subaru couldn't help but correct him, saying:

"The person in front of you is from the same clan that was almost wiped out by Ultraman."

"...Ed, what exactly is the purpose of the [Zetton Core]?"

Hayata paused for a moment, then decisively continued to ignore Gen Subaru, who was undermining him. Ed couldn't follow up on Gen Subaru's words either. Although Gen Subaru's relaxed state made him feel safe, if the child stopped smiling now, he would worry that he had been regarded as a traitor by the [Zetton Core] and was starting to use some means to eliminate him. However, he really couldn't respond to this. He couldn't very well make a hellish joke about his own race.

Therefore, Ed looked at Hayata and calmly said:

"You're right, as for the [Zetton Core], it aspires to be that kind of existence."

"You must be joking..."

Hayata Shinjiro muttered a low complaint, while Ed continued:

"Therefore, for the [Zeton Core], which aspires to become a cosmic god, being regarded as an invader by Earthlings is an extremely serious matter that must be dealt with properly immediately!"

"Indeed, in the eyes of Earthlings, even after decades, the Zettonians are still complete invaders."

Ide Mitsuhiro thought for a moment, then looked at Ed and said:
