Ultraman: I Really Didn't Want to Rule the World

"Thank you, Daigo. I've always remembered you." Saki's voice rang in Daigo's ears.

"Thank you, Tu." Saki looked at Hong Tu again, trying to smile and suppressing the tears in her eyes. "I also wish you a speedy return to your hometown. Goodbye, Tu, it was really nice to meet you."

The golden necklace glowed, enveloping Saki's body and carrying her into Machina's palm.

Machina carefully closed its palms, shut its shell, lifted off the ground, flew into the sky, and broke free of Earth.

Hong Tu calmly watched his friend leave, and after a long while, he lowered his head. In his hand was a photograph of a laughing girl and a smiling boy.

"Goodbye, Saki." The belated farewell faded into the air.

In fact, until the very end, Shaji neither invited Hongtu to her planet, nor did Hongtu ever say that she would visit her.

This probably means we'll never see each other again.

Chapter 16 A Cry from Gadi

"Don't grab, don't grab!" A playground worker dressed as a bunny mascot handed out balloons to a group of children. "Everyone gets one."

A group of children crowded around the person in the middle, pushing and shoving anxiously until all the balloons were distributed, at which point the group of children gradually dispersed.

The rabbit, having appeased the children, dressed in a somewhat bulky mascot costume, headed towards the staff break room.

"Hong, you've worked hard, take a rest." Mr. Harada, the person in charge who was in the staff office, greeted Hong Tu as he walked in.

"Yes, you've worked hard too, Mr. Harada." Hong Tu took off the headgear of the rabbit mascot costume and sat down on a chair next to him.

"Here, have some water." Harada handed him a glass of water, took his own glass, and sat down next to him.

"Those kids are tough to deal with, aren't they?" Harada teased Hongtu with a smile, noticing that the bow on the rabbit mascot costume was all pulled crooked.

"It's alright." Hong Tu took a sip of water. "I still really like children. They're like stars, always shining."

Since he ate Gazort last time, he has been able to see much more.

He discovered that it wasn't just those with light genes who shone with light; in fact, everyone had a light shining within them, though faint and imperceptible, it was truly real.

Among them, the children's light was the most dazzling. Although it was much weaker than Daigo's, in his eyes, it was like stars, hiding a lot of beauty and unknowns.

“Hahaha,” Harada didn’t understand the meaning behind his words, but interpreted it as him liking children. “That’s true, you’re not that old either, you can play with them.”

"Hehe." Hong Tu chuckled, offering no further explanation.

"Alright, go change your clothes. You can leave work for now." Harada patted his shoulder. "Don't be late this afternoon."

“Yes, Mr. Harada.” Hong Tu stood up and went to the dressing room at the back.

After changing her clothes, Hong Tu said goodbye to Mr. Harada and left.

"Hey, was there any noise just now?" Hong Tu suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction of the center of the amusement park.

He was almost at the entrance of the amusement park when he suddenly sensed an energy fluctuation in the center of the park.

Turning his head, he saw a beam of colorful light appear in the center of the amusement park. The energy at the top radiated outwards like a fountain, forming a huge transparent dome that enveloped the entire amusement park.

Hong Tu, who lives only about twenty meters from the amusement park entrance:

Outside the amusement park, a child was excitedly holding his mother's hand, eager to run into the amusement park, but "bang," he seemed to bump into something and fell to the ground.

"Yuta?" The mother hurriedly picked up her child and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

Hong Tu watched this scene for a long time before raising her hand and tapping the air in front of her.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Three crisp tapping sounds rang out, as if he were knocking on an invisible piece of glass.

Hongtu was speechless.

He hadn't really paid attention to what was underground, and hadn't noticed the monster there before.

He was a little puzzled. He hadn't noticed any movement underground before. Did this monster not need to breathe? Or could I hear you digging a hole?

How come there's not a sound at all?

Or is it this energy shield that can isolate these things?

That shouldn't be the case; he could hear the child crying loudly outside even from where he was standing.

Hong Tu was distracted for a moment when she heard panicked screams coming from the amusement park.

The crowd was fleeing, children were crying for help, and parents were making desperate cries.

There was also the sound of whips cracking.

"Is this monster grabbing children?" Hong Tu's expression turned serious.

The crowd was running toward the edge of the playground, and two long whips were striking the ground from time to time, then wrapping around the children and dragging them back to the center of the playground.

"Help! Mom!"

"My child!"

"Huizi!"

"Why can't I get out? Help!"

"let me out!"

"what happened?"

""

Some people were banging on the wall, trying to get out; others were crying and shouting that they wanted to go back to find their children. It was all in complete chaos.

Hong Tu frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then turned around and went to the wall where there were fewer people.

Finding that no one was paying attention to him, Hong Tu placed his hand on the wall, channeling his energy to try and eliminate it.

Suddenly, a long red whip appeared, wrapped around his waist, and pulled him toward the center of the amusement park.

Hong Tu seemed not to have reacted yet, and was dragged back by being wrapped around the waist.

"Ah!" Another scream erupted from the crowd, but this time it was because many people had exerted too much force and were caught off guard, falling forward and to the ground.

The invisible wall suddenly disappeared!

The crowd didn't notice why the wall had suddenly disappeared and fled the amusement park in a panic.

"Headquarters, that wall has suddenly disappeared." Shinjo was on vacation and came to the amusement park with his sister, but he didn't expect to encounter this situation. First, he was trapped in the amusement park by an invisible wall, and now that wall has suddenly disappeared.

“That just now, it seemed to be the fluctuation of Nag’s power.” Horii had been analyzing the wall and happened to notice the power fluctuation that broke through the wall at that moment. “It seems that he used some method to erode the wall in an instant.”

"Monster! The monster is coming out!" Ye Rui saw the huge life form underground begin to rise. "It looks like the wall broke down and it's coming out."

"Victory Team, move out!" Captain Megumi immediately gave the order. "Daigo, pilot Unit 2. Rena and Horii, pilot Unit 1."

"Yes!" The three of them quickly went out.

"Was Nag in there too?" Captain Megumi clasped her hands tightly. "Did he eat the wall? To save people? Or was his goal that monster?"

On the other side, Captain Megumi speculated that Nag was being dragged into Gadi's nest without any resistance, and had just emerged from his cocoon.

The dark ring lit up, revealing information about the monster in the Red Tea.

"So that's how it is, it's for laying eggs." Hong Tu tore off the white silk binding his body and came out of the cocoon. He looked up and saw many cocoons all around him, and in each cocoon he could see shimmering points of light.

"Thankfully, they're all still alive." He was somewhat relieved that these children weren't directly treated as food, so they were all still alive and well.

This is an amusement park, and there are many children here. The monster must have come for the children and had been lying in ambush below for a long time.

So, after sensing that there seemed to be many children underground, he simply disguised himself as a child and lured the monster to capture him.

He originally wanted to meet the monster and have a face-to-face discussion about life—no, beast life—but he didn't expect to be covered in white silk as soon as he entered, and then suddenly the barrier broke, and he ran to the ground.

This is a bit embarrassing.

However, on the other hand, it is also convenient, otherwise we would have to take care of the children if a fight broke out.

Of course, the most important thing right now is to protect the children.

The red tea spreads darkness, seeping into the cocoon and protecting the children.

Fortunately, the monster has not yet officially laid eggs; it is just preparing to do so.

"Now, only this monster is left."

Hongtu looked up at the small hole above her head.

When Gadi left, he even remembered to cover the hole!

“Gudun.” Hong Tu took out a ring, passed the card through the ring, and shot it out through the hole.

"Ah!" Gudun appeared behind Gadi, also wielding two long whips.

“ver!!!” Gadi turned around and saw Gudun, and most importantly, Gudun was right next to its nest!!!

It's a universally acknowledged truth in the biological world that females during their gestation period are usually not to be trifled with.

Chapter 17 Gudun is extremely wronged

“ver” Gadi charged madly toward Gudun, stretching out his long whip to try and bind Gudun.

"Ah!" Gudun swung the double whips on his wrists, pulled away Gadi's long whip, and ran forward a few steps before rushing to Gadi's side.

Because of Gudun and Gadi's actions, Hongtu, who was covered in dust, said: "Maybe I should go out."

As soon as Gudun reached Gadi, he viciously bit down on Gadi's neck.

"ver" cried out in pain as it was bitten, green blood flowing from the wound.

It kept whipping the ancient mound on its body with its long whip, but the ancient mound held on tightly, refusing to let go no matter how much it whipped it.

With a pitiful howl, Gadi finally used its two sharp claws to trap Gudun's body and forcefully pushed it away.

A large chunk of flesh was torn off by Gudun, who chewed it a few times and swallowed it.

The victorious team, who arrived just in time, witnessed this scene.

"That monster was so ferocious." Lina was frightened by the bloody scene.

"It actually wanted to eat that monster whole." Horii felt his worldview had been completely shattered.
