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

"Slave?" Hong Tu tilted her head, her focus seemingly off.

Are these alien beings still practicing slavery?

"What do you want to do on Earth?" Hong Tu brought her thoughts back on track.

Perhaps feeling that Hong Tu had nowhere to escape and that victory was assured, the leader readily revealed his purpose: "Our planet's slaves are on the verge of extinction, and we've discovered that Earthlings are very similar to our slaves, so..."

Before it could finish speaking, Hong Tu continued, "So, you want to capture Earthlings to be slaves?"

“That’s right. Of course, if you are willing to submit, I will allow you to be free from slavery.” The leader of the Lebik aliens was somewhat annoyed that Hongtu had interrupted him, but he still patiently tried to recruit him.

“I see.” Hong Tu nodded. “The recent disappearances and the urban legends about the crow’s head are all your doing.”

Your leader was furious and was about to speak when he was interrupted again.

This time, however, the voice came from behind him.

"Can you tell me where those humans are?" Hong Tu appeared behind it, very close.

"Wow!" Perhaps because the Crow People have a unique communication channel, the originally quiet yellow-eyed Crow People all started to move, raising their guns at Hong Tu.

The Crow-man leader lunged forward, then gracefully flipped over on the ground, quickly moving away from the Red Tea.

However, when it stood up, the scene that appeared before it left it stunned.

The yellow-eyed crow-men all fell to the ground, their eyes losing their light, and the guns they had been holding were scattered all over the ground.

"What's this gun for?" Hong Tu suddenly appeared in front of the last remaining Raven chieftain, holding a gun in his hand and examining it curiously. "Is it some kind of advanced technology from your planet?"

The red-eyed crow-man instinctively reached for his hand, only to find it empty. He looked down and realized the gun was indeed gone.

Its gun is in Hong Tu's hands!

"Hmm?" Hong Tu saw that it couldn't speak for a long time, but the aura of fear around it was getting stronger and stronger. "You won't talk? Then I'll try it myself."

With that, he pointed the gun at the crow man and pressed the button.

"Wow!" The crow-man let out a scream as he was shrunk by the light gun and captured inside it.

"Oh wow, so it's a shrinking gun." Hong Tu looked at the gun in her hand in surprise. It really is cutting-edge technology.

As the novelty wore off, Hong Tu turned to look at the lifeless crow-men on the ground, remained silent for a while, and then took out her phone.

"Hey, little shepherd? Do you know the Crow People?" Hong Tu called Tong Ye.

"Hmm? You mean the Victory Team is over? Never mind then."

Oh, by the way, would you like an alien specimen? The kind with a crow's head.

Why?! This is an alien! An extremely rare species! Very difficult to see.

Okay then. So, do you like alien high-tech guns? They might have built-in shrinking rays, and maybe even enlarging rays!

Save this! Don't you think it's fun? Imagine a miniature version...

Huh? Even this won't work? Fine, I'm hanging up then.

Hong Tu hung up the phone in disappointment. Looking at the high-tech gun in his hand and then at the corpses of the Crow People scattered on the ground, he reluctantly found a phone booth and dialed TPC's number.

"Hey, is this TPC? I'm a concerned citizen, and I've spotted a group of crow people! Yes, yes, the crow people from urban legends."

I'm not kidding! You tell the Victory team, they definitely know!

The location is

After giving the address and hanging up the phone, Hong Tu reluctantly threw down the gun in her hand and left the area.

As for the surprise of the GUTS team when they arrived at the scene and found a pile of corpses, and the shock that Horii felt when he found the leader of the Crow People in a shrinking gun, those had nothing to do with Hong Tu.

"Little shepherd, can't we really keep an alien as a pet?" Hong Tu gestured with his hand, "Just as big as my palm."

"No way." Kirino coldly rejected his suggestion, effectively shutting down any further questions he might have. "You can't keep monsters at home either."

"What about parrots? The kind from Earth!" Hong Tu looked at him expectantly.

"That one you mentioned won't do!"

"What about the dog?"

"Anything that can turn into a monster is unacceptable!!!"

Chapter 20 The Aliens Are Here Again

"You mean aliens?" Hong Tu, dressed in a black kimono with red patterns, held a sake cup in her hand and leaned comfortably against the soft cushion.

He was in a large venue. The venue was arranged in a Japanese banquet style, with various dishes laid out on low tables in two neat rows.

Strange-looking monsters from various legends sat behind a low table, holding wine glasses, eating delicious food, and enjoying their feast.

Of course, most of them were not very powerful minor demons. As human society developed, the once great demons became fewer and fewer, while these lesser-known demons were able to survive cautiously in human society.

Hong Tu was invited and, because of his strength, was given the first seat, sitting high on a soft chair, with even a special monster by his side to pour wine and keep him company.

"Yes, sir, just now, another meteorite-like object fell down, causing a huge explosion." The speaker was a tanuki, standing upright, wearing a gray kimono, about half a person's height, with a leaf on its head and its two paws steadily holding a sake jar.

"Oh? Once again? There was one before? What's in it?" Hong Tu finished the wine in his cup, and the raccoon cat very consciously poured him another one.

"I heard from Xiao Yao that both times it was aliens who looked a lot like humans." The raccoon squinted, its expression a natural smile.

"Looks like a human?" Hong Tu glanced at it in surprise, then became interested. "Tell me about it."

"I heard it was a man and a woman, and they both seemed very flustered," the raccoon recalled the little demon's words. "It wasn't because they fell to Earth, but rather it seemed like they were running for their lives."

"Running for your life," Hong Tu squinted. "So something's chasing us? Is there anything special about them?"

"They seem to be a little stronger than the average human, but probably not as strong as those samurai. They haven't shown anything particularly special yet." The tanuki twitched its ears. "However, their blood is green."

Hong Tu shifted into a more comfortable position and lazily swirled his wine cup: "Do you know where those two aliens are?"

“That man seems to have been wandering around Chifeng Mountain,” the raccoon said, flicking its tail as it adjusted its position with Hong Tu. “The woman who just fell seems to have fallen near the city, very close by. I didn’t dare get too close.”

"Hmm, the wine is quite good." Hong Tu stopped talking about it after hearing this. "As expected of a raccoon dog."

The raccoon's smile widened: "You flatter me, sir."

Hong Tu took a sip of wine and looked at the raccoon cat meaningfully: "Tell me, what do you want?"

This raccoon was the host of the banquet, and by today's standards, it would be considered a powerful demon.

A powerful demon, famous and wealthy, who was doing well in human society, invited him to a banquet and poured him wine and chatted with him. Hong Tu didn't believe that the demon had no ulterior motives.

"I just hope you can do me a small favor." The tanuki didn't refuse much, making no attempt to hide anything, "Just a tiny favor that's insignificant to you."

The monsters' revelry lasted all night, until dawn, when Hong Tu finally left.

The next morning, Hong Tu went to the commercial district to buy some things, but when she was about to leave, she found a very strange man.

"What is that?" Hong Tu looked at a man in the distance with no eyebrows with some curiosity.

The man seemed to be looking for something, wandering around in the crowd.

Of course, what Hong Tu saw was not a human without eyebrows, but a strange creature with a head like an insect.

"Aliens?" This person's appearance reminded Hong Tu of the group of aliens with crow heads she had encountered some time ago.

"This seems different from what Tanuki said. It looks like there are other guys on Earth too." Hong Tu was still recalling Tanuki's description from last night when she saw the alien with the touching appearance stop in its tracks and stare intently in one direction.

“Well, that girl does fit the description.” Hong Tu followed its gaze and saw a girl dressed in a revealing blue outfit. “She looks very much like a human, but she is definitely not human.”

When the girl saw the bug-headed man, she turned and ran, and the bug-headed man chased after her.

Hong Tu looked down at the bag in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally followed.

He just went to take a look; he was just looking.

"Ah!" the girl screamed, dodging the beam of light emitted from the insect's head's firing organ, and quickly darted into the alley.

The two aliens chased and fled, winding their way through the area until they entered an abandoned factory.

Meanwhile, Daigo, who was patrolling the streets with Lina, heard the scream and told Lina to stop the car so he could come and investigate.

Hong Tu was originally following behind the two aliens when he noticed the light, like a light bulb, gradually approaching from behind. He then vanished from the road and appeared on a water tank.

He looked down at the bug-headed man chasing the alien girl, cornering her, before Daigo and Rena arrived and repelled the bug-headed man.

"Green blood!" Daigo, who had failed to catch up with the bug-headed creature, returned to Lina's side and saw that the handkerchief Lina was covering the girl's wound was oozing green blood.

Hong Tu disappeared above the water tank only after the two took the injured alien girl away.

"I'm back!" Hong Tu changed her shoes in the entryway and carried her things into the house.

“I saw two aliens today,” Hong Tu said, taking the items out and putting them where they should be.

"Don't even think about bringing any weird stuff home." Kirino, who knew him quite well in some ways, astutely grasped the key point. "Even things that look like humans won't do. Just hand them over to the GUTS team!"

He didn't know why Hong Tu was so obsessed with those aliens. Could it be because he was also an alien, or because he had some kind of special collecting fetish?

Thinking of the monster in Hong Tu's possession, and then of Hong Tu's obsession with raising aliens, and then of how she herself had been raised by the other party, Kirino suddenly felt for a moment that her situation might not be so good.

Kirino's words made Hong Tu freeze. He listlessly put his things away, gave his son a resentful look, and went back to his room looking devastated.

"Why isn't the little shepherd interested?" He pounced on the bed, took out the Dark Ring, and tapped it on the bed.

The dark ring ignored him completely, quietly pretending to be a toy.

"Aren't you interested either?" Hong Tu flicked the red ring. "Why? Aren't you curious about how aliens live? What are their planets like?"

"The circle, unable to withstand his harassment, barely managed to give a response."

"Ah, I forgot you're only interested in monsters." Hong Tu lazily rolled over.

The ring flashed.

"Ugh, you have such a heavy taste. That bug head is so ugly." Hong Tu was disgusted by the hunter's appearance. "Besides, it's covered in so much resentment and blood energy. It might get killed by Tiga in no time."

"!!!" Yuanhuan gets especially excited whenever he mentions Tiga.

"I refuse. That bug-headed creature doesn't suit my aesthetic. Besides, do I even know it? I can't keep it as a pet, so why should I give it my power to help it strengthen itself?"

This response made Yuan Yuan suspicious of Huan Sheng, and she didn't want to talk to him anymore. So she simply gave up and pretended to be dead, no matter how much he patted her, she didn't react.

Seeing this, Hong Tu also readily put down the ring.

However, after a while of quiet, Hongtu couldn't stay still anymore.
