Chapter 25 Public Sentiment and Responsibility
"I never imagined that it would only take one night for Your Highness to become His Majesty and then Your Excellency," Kai mumbled, tearing at a chicken leg.
Seeing this, Jugglus quietly dismissed Yuyan and looked at Kai: "Didn't you notice that he strongly dislikes His Majesty's statement? Kai, have you noticed the biggest problem with Ganon?"
"Ganon... is there any other problem besides Amaterasu?"
"Take a good look at what those people are wearing, what they are eating, and what they are doing here."
Seeing the question mark above Kai's head, Jugglus Juggler said helplessly, "Fine, I'll just be blunt. Ganon under Amaterasu's rule was a feudal society, that's an objective fact we can't ignore, and now Yuchen has taken over the position of ruler."
"Ah...you mean Yuchen will inherit Amaterasu's mantle, and the whole world will belong to Yuchen?"
Jugglus Juggler: "?"
He said irritably, "Don't say such things. His stance is different from Amaterasu's. It's obvious who's on the side of the people."
Kai scratched his head and waved his hand, saying, "Oh dear, what you're saying is so complicated, I don't quite understand either. Anyway, it's quite prestigious to have the top leader of a planet as my friend."
Jugglus glanced at him speechlessly and subconsciously took a step back.
After thinking for a moment, he stood back up, looked at Lai Ying, and continued to explain to Kai: "Do you see Lai Ying? He is the current Commander-in-Chief of the Ganon Armed Forces. After this battle, he is now the well-deserved second-in-command."
"Before the attack by Caiqi, Yuchen took over the military police and the Imperial Guard and put them under Laiying's command. Now that Amaterasu is dead and the results of the Tree of Life's trial have been announced to the world, those who have objections are useless. It's only a matter of time before the dissidents are eliminated."
"It goes without saying who came to pledge allegiance, right? That guy is really something... In just one night, he not only seized power but also won the hearts of the people. Tsk tsk tsk, he has a bright future ahead of him."
Seeing Jugglus's somewhat envious expression, Kai hesitated, "Jugglus, do you really think what Yu Chen did was right? The judgment of the Tree of Life was initiated passively. If Yu Chen didn't want to do it, Amaterasu could have survived. But now everyone thinks the Tree of Life killed Amaterasu. Isn't that... a form of deception?"
Jugglus gave Kai a strange look: "What's the big deal? Do you want to see Ganon fall into chaos? Amaterasu is going to die anyway, so who will take the throne if not her?"
"You can feel lost, but you can't become the one whose light is extinguished, understand?"
"Listen to me, before today, many people believed in Amaterasu, but after this incident, everyone saw the true face of the king they trusted. Trust is difficult to build, but it is very easy to collapse."
"And even if a minority are dissatisfied, so what? This kind of thing is easily forgotten. If people can use electronic products next year, and improve their material conditions the year after, who will still care about Amaterasu in a few years?"
Kai was greatly shocked: "But... how could it possibly go as smoothly as you said?"
Jugglus scoffed: "Ganon can even master spaceship warp technology, what's impossible about him? What does this prove? Technological development has reached a certain level, but due to the interference of certain people, the technology tree has gone astray. That's why there's a disconnect between primitive feudalism and the modern future."
"The reason people expect a strongman to come to power is because the economic foundation is weak, people's well-being cannot be guaranteed, and even their personal safety and property are not guaranteed. Given these drawbacks, people will seek a strongman ruler who can break the status quo. Once the problem of having enough to eat is solved, then let history be the past."
"You can address her as Her Majesty Amaterasu, but not as His Excellency Yuchen?"
Kai stared blankly at Jugglus Juggler, feeling as if his brain was about to explode. The other man always seemed to be able to spout profound truths and answer his questions, while Kai himself only possessed a pure heart: "Jugglus Juggler, I still feel that the light isn't quite pure, but I don't have any good solutions. I'm searching for the answer myself. In short, I'm very confused right now."
Jugglus sighed helplessly, "Then stop thinking nonsense. You won't find the answer by yourself. Why don't you wait a week and ask some people about the situation?"
"The voice of the people is more persuasive than anything else."
……
One week later—
Kai walked shakily to a village, stepping on the asphalt road, feeling as if it were not real.
No, was this road originally there?
His furtive behavior was quickly noticed by the man holding the child. Upon seeing that he was one of the highly praised individuals, the man immediately became enthusiastic: "Young man? You—no, you—what brings you here?"
"Ni'er, say hello to Uncle." The man said affectionately to the child on his shoulder.
Hello, Uncle.
Upon seeing the well-behaved and adorable child, Kai instantly lowered his guard.
Children are truly the most wonderful and beautiful things in the world!
Kai thought for a moment, then hesitated a bit before asking, "Um, well, I wanted to ask, what are your thoughts on Yu Chen?"
When Yu Chen was mentioned, the man became very talkative, waving his arms enthusiastically and praising, "Ah, you mean His Excellency? He's such a good man. Look at this road, it was those soldiers who came with tools to repair it, and they all said it was His Excellency's idea."
"And look at my clothes, how beautiful and festive they are! There was never a style like this before! Your Excellency also gives subsidies to those of us with children. Now, we can eat meat at almost every meal, if not every day."
"Do you know what he said when he saw me eating rice balls? He said, 'Stop eating rice balls, you can get full just as easily with meat!'"
"I'm not saying Her Majesty Queen Amaterasu is bad, never mind, I'm just saying she's bad! I really didn't expect that little girl to do such a hateful thing!"
"Brother, we've never lived such a good life before! When you learned that my child died in the first enemy attack, you gave me a lot of money without saying a word. I've never seen so much money in my life. You said you felt indebted to me, but you really are..."
"Moreover, you should know that it's only been a week. His Excellency told us that the good days ahead are far from over."
Then the man called over a group of his extended family members, and the group surrounded Kai, vividly describing the changes in his life over the past week.
It wasn't until nightfall that Kai started walking back the way he came.
On the way, he remembered a sentence that Yu Chen had told him.
Ultraman fights for people's happiness.
Suddenly, a familiar voice reached his ears: "Oh, got the answer?"
Jugglus Juggler stood by the roadside, hidden in the shadows.
Kai smiled and nodded: "More or less. It seems I'm overthinking it. Or rather, I'm trying to demystify Ultraman."
"When I first met Shin Asuka, I saw divinity in him, and it has influenced me ever since."
"Including...the fact that Haruno Musashi can't get involved is probably related to this, but it seems they've gone astray."
"Ultraman is ultimately just a larger version of a human."
Suddenly, Yu Chen emerged from behind the tree, hands in his pockets, leaning against the trunk: "That's right, the light will choose those who are responsible, not only for themselves, but also for the life and civilization wherever it goes."
"This sense of responsibility will guide you to discern what is beneficial to life and civilization, what is harmful and unacceptable, and what should be fought against—all of this must be done in accordance with your own heart."
Kai nodded, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration: "I think I understand, but I also think I don't. In any case, I still have a long way to go. I'm not as mature as you and Jugglus. There are many things I need to figure out on my own."
He drew his holy sword, its surface gleaming and illuminating the surroundings: "The task the Ring gave me is complete. It will issue me a new task, so we must say goodbye here."
"Jakula and I will come to Ganon again if we have the chance. I learned a lot today."
Upon hearing this, an unexpected voice rang out: "Kai, it's not us, it's you."
Jugglus Juggler didn't walk towards him; he just smiled and looked at him: "Kai."
"I won't help you anymore."
