Who made him Ultraman!.

Chapter 104 Fight to Survive (4K) (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month!!!)

Inside the Victory Team's command center, all the Victory Team members were present, and Yu Chen also saw two familiar faces.

Director Sawai, and Police Chief Yoshioka, a rare hawk within the TPC.

Yu Chen cleared his throat: "I'm sure you all know who I am. Enough with the small talk, I need to know the current evacuation situation on Earth."

"I've already done the statistics, so I'll answer." Ye Rui leaned forward. "Due to the suddenness of the event, the evacuation plan couldn't proceed as expected. In regions far from Ruruye, such as the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Europe, nearly 80% of the people have completed their evacuation. But Oceania, specifically Australia and New Zealand, suffered heavy losses, with only 30% of the people having completed their evacuation. The rest..."

Ye Rui didn't continue speaking, and the command room fell silent. Everyone knew what had become of the people of Oceania.

"In addition, 69 Zoga have been detected in the skies above the Earth, and the number is still increasing."

"I understand now. TPC's efficiency has truly impressed me. I didn't expect them to maintain such strong execution capabilities even in the face of emergencies. Their combat personnel also possess an extremely strong fighting spirit, which is truly remarkable."

"Ultraman, we know you're very powerful. But don't look down on people. They are the foundation of civilization, and we will naturally do our best to protect them." Yoshioka was somewhat dissatisfied. Something about this compliment sounded strange to him. It was as if he was belittling someone.

"You misunderstand me. I was just expressing my feelings. I experienced a disaster very similar to yours, but that ruler did the exact opposite of what you did."

"you……?"

Yu Chen didn't explain much. He took out ten Nexus keys from his inner pocket and neatly stacked them on the table.

"This is a powerful weapon developed by a genius scientist from another world, modeled after me. I'm handing it over to you. Each key can only fire a beam once; it's very precious, so don't use it recklessly."

"Are you talking about the people of Shengzhang? The ones who brought the new city back?"

Upon hearing the name Seisho, Horii instinctively felt a sense of goodwill and walked to the table to carefully examine the Nexus Key.

Upon seeing the novelty, the members of the Victory Team all gathered around.

"This thing is so cool, Shinjo. Look, it even has a blue Ultraman printed on it. TPU's aesthetic sense is way better than ours, TPC's."

"Fool, who would dampen their own spirits to boost the enemy's? Hmm... but it is indeed quite good-looking."

"This thing is probably for inserting into the Victory Hyper Gun, right? And it's the Hyper Gun from their world."

"That seems to be the case, but aiming a pistol at Zoga? Wouldn't that be too difficult?"

"How powerful is it?" Horii asked Yuchen.

"The key isn't particularly powerful, but it can break down living organisms to the molecular level. So just one shot is enough to completely annihilate a Zoga."

"What, just one shot?"

The Victory Team members were truly resentful this time. Their numerous weapons and equipment were almost useless against Zoga. The TPC's best warship, the Artedis, did possess the ultimate weapon, the Magus Cannon, capable of destroying Zoga. However, the Artedis was too cumbersome and simply couldn't hit Zoga.

The only thing that could harm Zoga was the Snow White, which was faster than it, but the Snow White was equipped with super-powerful spiked bullets, which did not have the power to kill in one shot.

Powerful weapons are too bulky, while agile weapons lack the power. Now, an incredibly small and agile weapon has appeared that achieves the same effect as the Magus cannon.

"Thank you so much, this key has been a great help to us." Ju Jianhui smiled as she approached Yu Chen.

"But... how should we use it? Zoga's top speed can reach close to Mach 9. With human precision, hitting Zoga seems to be an impossible task."

Shinjo glanced at Horii and said teasingly, "So in your eyes, I'm not human?"

"I am the best shooter in the GUTS team. I'm afraid not only the GUTS team, but no one on the entire planet dares to compare with me."

"You really like to show off, don't you? Fine, I'll reluctantly give you a ride this time. We'll drive number one, how about it?"

"I don't want to team up with you, but seeing how unusually enthusiastic you are, well, I guess I can only reluctantly agree."

Although their words were witty, everyone knew just how risky it would be to confront Zoga directly. Shinjo and Horii took all the blame upon themselves.

The director said in a deep voice, "I approve this operation."

"However, Yuchen, I want to hear your thoughts. Why do you want to help us? Why do you want to protect us? You could simply abandon us, and I don't think anyone would blame you, nor do you have any obligation to help us."

Yu Chen blinked: "What kind of question is this? If I don't help you defeat the enemy, the Evil King will keep absorbing the negative emotions in people's hearts to create monsters of unimaginable terror. I'll die if I don't help you."

"Furthermore, shouldn't those chosen by the light help others? If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight; this is only natural, and I think everyone understands this principle, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the director shook his head: "No, what I want to say is that in my eyes, you are human, and so is Daigo. First and foremost, you are human, then you are light. You can live a little selfishly, even commit crimes. You have the biggest fist, you call the shots, and no one has the power to resist you."

"First Daigo, then you, all the Ultramen we've seen seem to be actively helping humanity. Without complaint, never asking for anything in return. This isn't human nature. You're clearly human, yet you operate like machines."

"Before the TPC was established, I was the Secretary-General of the United Nations. At that time, there were constant conflicts between countries. After the Cold War, hegemonism and imperialism did not end, but were presented to people in new forms. There are more than two hundred countries and regions on Earth, but it is still a situation where one or two countries call the shots."

"A weak nation has no sovereignty, no diplomacy, and no future—this is an open secret. Might makes right; that's the harsh reality."

The world has only been in a period of complete peace for a little over a decade, and the most important reason for this is the emergence of external enemies. Thanks to the tireless mediation efforts of Soichiro Sawai, various countries have become willing to lay down their arms, set aside historical grievances, and accept unified governance. In fact, this is an incredible situation, but Sawai, being an idealist, has made it happen.

Because he understands human nature, he finds it even more incomprehensible why humans, who possess great power, would be willing to help those weaker than themselves, and would be willing to fight enemies that humans can hardly defeat.

No one can restrain Ultraman, nor can anyone give Ultraman value commensurate with his efforts. Power? Wealth? These are insignificant to Ultraman. As for controlling Ultraman with power? That's utter nonsense.

The Ultraman they encountered was neither a god nor a deity, but simply a human being with power.

When faced with difficulties, humans tend to shrink back and become weak. It's normal for humans to have selfish desires, want to be lazy, and want to escape.

Yu Chen raised an eyebrow, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.

"I understand what you mean. First of all, I want to make one point clear. Only those who have the resolve to save others can become Ultraman and use the power of light. I think you all know Masaki Keigo; he was one of the people taken away by the Evil King."

"He used an ancient giant statue to transform himself into an Ultraman like Tiga, with an appearance almost identical to Tiga, named Evil Tiga. However, due to his misguided heart, he was corrupted by the power and became a mindless beast. I corrected him in time, bringing him to his senses. In the end, he also gained the recognition of the light; otherwise, that light would have left him."

"Masaki Keigo?" Everyone was stunned, not expecting to hear news about Masaki Keigo from Yu Chen.

"Don't worry, he and Kirino Makio are living on my planet now. You will meet him."

"There is another person, who is very complex. He did not commit any crimes intentionally, but objectively he turned a blind eye to the enemy's invasion and the deaths and injuries of the people. Even though he had saved many people and many planets, the light eventually left him."

"A person who possesses light, once their heart becomes twisted, will bring unpredictable consequences. They will naturally lose their qualification to become Ultraman. But this situation is extremely rare, perhaps less than one in a thousand. So the Ultraman you see are naturally all good people. You can consider this a kind of survivor bias."

"Therefore, doing whatever you want is nothing; true strength lies in being able to control your own heart."

After saying that, the director let out a long sigh of relief: "I see..."

"May I ask again, did you choose to save people and fight the enemy because you were afraid of losing your light... or was it entirely your own will?"

"Then let me ask you, what were your reasons for mediating between so many major powers, risking assassination, and ultimately overcoming all opposition to establish the TPC?"

"I understand now. Thank you for clearing up my doubts."

A rare hint of admiration flickered in Sawai's eyes; they truly shared the same faith.

Ultraman and his companions have their own will; they are not mere tools. They experience confusion, helplessness, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. But their desire to protect others never changes. If their hearts become twisted, they will be stripped of their powers, so they always present a bright and radiant image to the world.

There really is a powerful group in the world that is entirely composed of pacifists.

This was also Yu Chen's true thought; he wasn't this kind of person in the past. But after being chosen by the Evolution Trusters, that sense of responsibility prompted him to become this kind of person.

If those chosen by the light don't fight, then who will?

The Victory Team members all took Yu Chen's words to heart. The situation he described was perfectly embodied in Daigo.

The latest novel is first published here!

Five years ago, when the TPC base was about to be swallowed by the Gatanothor black mist and humanity was on the verge of extinction, Daigo resolutely stepped forward. No matter how Megumi tried to persuade him, Daigo's heart never wavered.

[We can't win at all, I don't understand.]

These are words spoken by Daigo: knowing that the enemy ahead is unbeatable, he will still face it. This is the resolve that Yuchen spoke of.

Those who stood up against the darkness back then have fallen. Now, some people, knowing this situation, still choose to step forward. This earns everyone's utmost respect.

Horii thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "If having this kind of resolve can make someone an Ultraman... does that mean we also have a chance?"

"As long as you hold onto this belief, anyone can become light."

As soon as Yu Chen finished speaking, the base suddenly trembled, the lights flickered, the metal walls collapsed abruptly, and the exposed wires sparked a dazzling array of electrical sparks!

"What's going on? Was there an earthquake?"

"No, it's Zoga! More than a dozen Zoga have been detected around the base. They've got their eyes on us!"

"These damn birds... New City, let's go wipe them out!"

The command room erupted into chaos. Seeing this, Megumi Kijima immediately shouted, "Everyone calm down! Except for Shinjo and Horii, everyone take refuge on the Atlas. This is an order."

"Should we evacuate now? We're not at that point yet, are we?" Yoshioka said in a deep voice.

"Sir, I understand your feelings. But we must preserve our fighting force. Besides, the Atlas is our only combat ship that can threaten Zoga. And given Lina's current physical condition, it will be very difficult for her to pilot the Snow White again."

"..." Yoshioka frowned. As a naval officer, he would never abandon his warship until the very last moment.

But it was proven five years ago that his presence here was of no use.

Human power is so insignificant.

"Jijian, let's go."

"No, I'll go into battle with Horii and the others in the Victory Flying Swallow EX-J. I'll pilot the Beta to draw the enemy's attention, and Shinjo will take care of the shooting."

Upon hearing this, everyone froze on the spot.

"Captain, you mean you're going to the front lines?"

"The team captain can't always sit in the back and oversee things; he can't leave all the responsibility to the team members."

Yoshioka stepped forward and said, "Ju-chan, if this is your choice, then I will go with you. I know the Beta has two seats, and I have no reason to back down."

If death is inevitable sooner or later, might as well make his death more meaningful.

"Yoshioka, you..."

"Sawai, don't argue with me this time. The Atlas needs you, TPC needs you, and the Earthlings need you as their director. You must stay behind and oversee things."

After speaking, the director sighed and remained silent. However, Yoshioka still noticed the hint of reluctance in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the command room was somewhat oppressive. Relocating the Atlas seemed to be just one step away from failure.

Seeing everyone silent, Yu Chen spoke up: "Now that you've all made your choices, I might as well tell you some good news."

"We are not alone, Masaki Keigo, Kirino Makio. My other companions, including the members of the Elite GUTS team, and Ultraman Triga who looks very much like Tiga, will all be coming to this world soon."

"Hold on firmly, and there will be a way."

Yoshioka frowned slightly: "They must be resisting the Evil King and the Kirieloids right now, right? They're beings no less powerful than the Dark Ruler. Are you really that confident?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Chen's expression darkened, but then a glimmer of hope resurfaced: "I have indeed suffered losses in this regard before. But this time, I choose to believe them."

"Believe it or not..." Yoshioka pondered the word, then said no more.

Yu Chen continued, "I would like to ask everyone to prepare themselves, because the next few hours will determine the fate of this world."

"The evacuation work must not stop, it must continue until everyone is in the shelter, or until all TPC personnel have collapsed. We must do everything in our power to hold off all the Zoga, not only until my comrades arrive, but also to show people that the GUTS team has not fallen, Ultraman has not fallen, and the future is not truly hopeless."

"As long as people can rekindle their faith and hope, we will have achieved our goal. That light of hope will be more powerful than we can imagine."

Yu Chen paused, took out the Evolution Trustee, and the heavy pounding of its heart echoed throughout the command room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are worried that the tragedy of five years ago will repeat itself, but please do not give up."

"The future of the Earth is not truly hopeless."

"So that Ultraman Tiga can successfully awaken."

"Fight for our own survival, and for the survival of the people of Earth!"
