Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Ok? !

what happened?

Why is my vision suddenly spinning wildly? What happened?!

Suddenly, just as Zoffy was about to fly into space, he felt his body suddenly become inexplicably light, as if all his senses were being weakened. This incredible feeling of emptiness made Zoffy feel a long-lost drowsiness.

Then, in a daze, Zoffy saw a meteor flying towards him. The meteor was so bright that it was hard to look directly at it. But when the meteor fell, Zoffy suddenly realized that it was not a flying star, but a fist wrapped in amazing energy.

Then....

There's no after that.

Subaru, who had been listening in the meantime, punched Zoffy's head into the ground. Then, while continuing to swing his fist and pound the ground, he looked up at Zetton and said calmly:

"Jerton, you've come at just the right time."

331 The Sun of the Human Heart

"Nexus, why are you stopping me?"

While Subaru was beating Zoffy, Ultraman, looking at the energy projection blocking his path, said with some confusion:

"Do you really think I would help Zoffy to wipe out humanity? You're overthinking it. But Zetton is too powerful for me to contend with. Nexus, come with me. Let's go beyond Earth and destroy Zetton before its weapon systems are fully assembled."

"No need, 'we' have already gone."

what? !

Hearing this, Ultraman was slightly taken aback. He quickly looked up and saw two familiar giant figures flying into the sky, heading towards Zetton. Without a doubt, those were Nexus's clones in disguise. Moreover, those two clones were holding back quite a bit, and it could be said that they were heading straight for Zetton, who was currently being defeated.

"Nexus, what do you want to do?"

Ultraman couldn't understand it. Such actions seemed to have little meaning for Earth and humanity, and would only make them more desperate.

Ok? !

At that moment, Ultraman heard some strange sounds. He closed his eyes and listened intently to the content of the sounds, but they were all sounds of despair. Ultraman suddenly looked at Nexus beside him and said in a low voice:

"What did you do?"

"It simply informs humanity of the facts."

Gen Subaru calmly said:

"Human beings today need certain external forces to break through their current limitations; this is a test."

"test?"

Ultraman looked at Subaru Gen and said with a slight frown:

"This test is still too cruel for humanity; they cannot find a way out."

"The Zetton above is not the one they are meant to defeat."

Subaru waved to Ultraman and said softly:

"Furthermore, the final result of the test will not determine the life or death of humans, but only how far I will go in taking action. So, Ultraman, you should stay here quietly until the test is over."

"...Nexus, is Zoffy still alive?"

Ultraman realized he couldn't change Subaru's decision, so he stopped dwelling on it. He paused for a moment, then decided to change the subject and asked about his fellow countryman. To be honest, Ultraman hadn't sensed Subaru's presence at all, but he was now convinced that he had heard everything he and Zoffy had said.

"Alive."

Upon hearing this question, Subaru reached out and pulled Zoffy, who was already stuck in the ground, out of the ground. He casually shook him and answered:

"He is enjoying a baby-like sleep, and for now, your Star of Light is still useful to me, so don't worry, I will blow up Star of Light just like I blew up Mefilas."

"...It's better to avoid this kind of topic with me."

Ultraman, barely able to contain his expression, said:

"Although I am willing to give my life for humanity, I also have very deep feelings for my home planet."

"I already said, it won't explode. Besides venting its anger, the Star of Light has a more wonderful use, so don't worry, you might be able to see your home planet again."

Gen Subaru offered Ultraman a few words of comfort, then patted the stone beside him and said softly:

"Come, sit down. Now all we need to do is wait patiently."

Ultraman didn't say much, obediently sitting next to Subaru, and quietly watching with Nexus the various reactions of humanity on Earth in the face of the Zetton crisis.

And so they waited, until the Zetton one trillion degree super-heat energy ball was about to be launched, when Ultraman couldn't help but say:

"Should we continue waiting? Although I know you are very powerful, I feel that time is running out."

"Ah, I know, sigh... It's not that humanity lacks awareness, but rather that under these social circumstances, awareness cannot play its due role."

Gen Subaru sighed and withdrew his psychic power. During that time, he had witnessed humanity's self-destruction, humanity's indulgence in desires, humanity's continued manipulation of power, humanity's long journeys home for family reunions, and humanity's desperate search for a way out of their predicament, yet receiving little support...

It's not that there's no hope, but it will take a lot of effort to break through this limitation.

You seem a little disappointed.

Ultraman, observing the child's expression beside him, said with a hint of helplessness:

"You wouldn't choose to abandon humanity at this time, would you?"

"How could that be? What are you thinking?"

Subaru stood up, stretched, and said softly:

"No matter how useless your own child is, you still have to protect him. How can you really make them go back to the drawing board? Ultraman, no matter what happens next, don't have any strange reactions."

After saying that, Gen Subaru raised his right hand, held it diagonally across his chest, and revealed the True Essence Bracelet on his wrist. He used his left hand to ripple downwards along the direction of his arm, and the azure light of the four-pointed star suddenly shone brightly. Then, Gen Subaru raised his right hand high, and under the dazzling light, [True Essence - Original] appeared outside the Earth. He raised both hands and pressed them down forcefully towards Zetton, who was about to shoot a trillion-degree fireball.

Then, to Ultraman's astonishment, dense, crisscrossing cracks suddenly appeared on Zetton's shell, which was strong enough to withstand all of Ultraman's attacks. It was as if there were threads binding it, making Zetton's shell extremely fragile. It immediately burst open, completely erasing the crisis.

Then, Gen Subaru looked at Earth and at the billions of humans. At that moment, everyone looked up. Although they could only see the sky, they saw a pair of helpless yet kind eyes falling on each of them.

"Since the aliens now want to turn you into biological weapons, then let them see your power! Use your own power to protect your own future!"

Gen Subaru raised his hands, transforming into a deep blue sun. Countless light particles poured onto the earth, and everywhere in the world, whether above or below ground, indoors or outdoors, saw these light points falling like snowflakes. Humans felt boundless goodwill from them and involuntarily reached out to touch those light points, absorbing them into their bodies.

Then, all of humanity realized that they possessed superpowers, the superpower to transform into 'light', and that the ability for everyone to grow to gigantic size was a goal that had been achieved, and that a seed called hope was taking root and sprouting within their bodies.

This is all because of that azure sun.

All of humanity turned their gaze once more to that bright yet gentle light. Although it was gradually dimming, everyone knew that it was because it was sharing the light that originally belonged to it with humanity.

"You...you really are acting out of character, Nexus."

Ultraman finally understood what Subaru Gen had said before he left. In a sense, he had created another planet of light. Thanks to his sacrifice, the humans on Earth were evolving at an astonishing speed, rapidly resembling their brethren. This was undoubtedly a miracle, and also a kind of almost boundless indulgence.

However, Subaru had no time to care about these things. He grabbed Zoffy and used him as a communication anchor to traverse countless star systems and find the location of the Star of Light. Then, using Zoffy as a medium, Subaru locked onto all the giants with the same body structure and ruthlessly unleashed the [True Power] to its limit, thus suppressing the actions of the giants of the Star of Light.

During this period, Minamoto no Subaru, in the name of "Order," separated the Star of Light from the plane of order, just as the "something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-something-dimensional-something ...

Humans, this is all I can do to help you.

Gen Subaru let out a long breath, utterly exhausted as he looked at the abnormal spacetime fluctuations around him. With great effort, he mustered his remaining energy, broke through the cosmic barrier, and left this plane—

His brutal use of the power of truth, forcibly destroying order itself with order, has caused abnormal fluctuations in the spacetime of the solar system and the planet of light. Although Gen Subaru could quell these fluctuations, he no longer felt it was necessary. He now felt that he had given humanity the greatest help, and believed that that help was enough to change the people here and enable them to survive in the universe.

Therefore, Minamoto chose to use the power meant to stabilize the fluctuations to escape, since once the original being who caused the 'trouble' left, the universe itself would naturally be able to calm down this abnormal fluctuation as quickly as possible.

After experiencing what happened here, it has to be said that Gen Subaru really missed TLT Earth. He felt that he had been wandering outside for long enough and should hurry back to see it.

So, Subaru chose to leave directly and never returned to the Earth where Ultraman lived.

Time passed slowly, and for that Earth, the azure sun had been gone for a month. Its impact on humanity was also revolutionary, and social order was thrown into considerable chaos.

But....

No deaths due to the chaos occurred during this process.

Although numerous illegal riots have occurred, however...

The police officer looked at the man who had come to turn himself in with mixed feelings. This was a guy who used superpowers to rob shops, and because there had been so many crimes lately, his case hadn't even been put on the agenda yet. But this criminal had already come to confess on his own, and even brought the stolen goods with him.

This situation began to emerge two weeks ago. His small police station alone has received more than 400 people. Although many of them did not commit any crimes, their sense of guilt still made them come spontaneously, even in tears, to accept the punishment they deserved.

Yes, guilt.

The police officer skillfully arranged the procedures for the surrendering criminal, then leaned back in his chair, watching a video of the bright blue sun on his phone. Although the sun was no longer visible in the sky, everyone could feel that it was right beside them.

That sun is like a strict father, getting angry at your misbehavior, but it's also more like a loving mother, tolerating all your shortcomings, as if saying, 'I really can't do anything with you, but since you chose to do this, you must have your own reasons, right? Well, I'll help you out, but you can't do this again next time, or I'll be sad.'

Even if you're heartbroken, he'll still forgive you and help you next time.

And so it went, once, twice, three times...

Such unreasonable pampering and companionship will naturally break the heart first. Humans are inherently kind beings. No matter what they have experienced, there is still light in their hearts and their own soft spot. And now, a sun has been placed in that spot by humankind.

Therefore, the police station was bustling for the first time. The criminals who came to turn themselves in were filled with guilt, because they had failed the sun's expectations time and time again.

Even on their way to the police station, the sun seemed to be advising them, telling them not to be so impulsive, that the police station wasn't a good place, and that they should find a place they liked to relax. The sun would teach them how to safely deal with the traces of their mistakes, the sun would be happy for them to embrace a new tomorrow, and the sun would accompany them as always, through every minute and second of the future.

Although the sun never uttered a word, its warm and gentle light spoke volumes.

Ultraman witnessed all the changes. At this moment, he had separated from Shinji Kaminari. After the azure light particles merged into Shinji Kaminari's body, the human no longer needed to continue merging. Shinji Kaminari was now actively walking in the city.

At this moment, Ultraman sat quietly on the moon, watching as the chaotic human society rapidly stabilized. The pampered humans began to adapt to this new life. Although various drawbacks still existed, Ultraman had to admit that the native humans of this planet were gradually moving towards the 'light'.

"Nexus, you are a miracle."
