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

What happened? Did someone just snatch food from a tiger's mouth?

Hong Tu was completely unprepared because the attack wasn't aimed at him, and had no time to stop it. He watched helplessly as a knife was plunged into Su Na Gui's forehead, cleanly and efficiently taking his head.

Moreover, because her feet suddenly lost their footing, Hong Tu almost fell.

Subconsciously steadying her body, Hong Tu remained still for two seconds while flying in mid-air. Her head, shrouded in darkness, turned slightly, and two points of red light flickered like will-o'-the-wisps.

He is angry!

Sensing the anger emanating from Hong Tu, both monsters became agitated and abandoned Tiga, intending to go find Jing Tian Jing Long.

However, Jing Tianjinglong was even more adept at assessing situations and decisively became a Buddha, his soul dissipating into the world, leaving only one sentence that lingered in the ears of Hong Tu and Tiga.

There are many ways to acquire power, but only what you gain through your own hard work and cultivation truly belongs to you.

But for a hero, strength is important, but the heart is even more important.

Hong Tu was furious when she saw Jing Tianjinglong's light disappear.

If you're so capable, then don't run away! It's all because you're guilty!

I'm eating my food and increasing my strength, what's it to you?

Do you let the seasonings in your food affect your mood while you're eating?

If you don't know, don't meddle! Disturbing someone's meal is a crime punishable by death!

Knock on! Did you hear me? Knock on!

However, no matter how angry Hong Tu was, she couldn't get revenge. It seemed that Jing Tian Jing Long had truly achieved her obsession and left.

Thus, the incident of Sukuna's resurrection ended with Kurenai leaving in a huff, and Tiga and the GUTS team returning in complete bewilderment.

"I-field-I-dragon!" Hong Tu slammed the longsword in her hand to the ground, even stomping on it twice in anger.

Chapter 28 Aliens Delivered to Our Door

Hong Tu returned home without saying a word. Unusually, she didn't greet Tong Ye. Instead, she angrily plopped down on the sofa and slammed the longsword in her hand heavily onto the table.

Kirino saw this man's rare outburst of temper, and then glanced at the sword on the table; he knew everything.

Kirino didn't speak up either, because he shared the same idea as Ida Iryu, but he couldn't directly stop them like Ida Iryu did.

"Little Mufman, please help me check if the thing inside this sword is still there!" Kirino's silence did not mean that Hong Tu would let him go.

"He has already attained Buddhahood." Kirino shifted his gaze back to the book in his hands, answering indifferently.

Hong Tu was not surprised by this answer, but the fact that Jing Tian and Jing Long were gone did not mean that the matter was over.

Very well, since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony!

His gaze was fixed on the sword, and his expression gradually became ferocious.

For the next week, Hongtu wandered the city at night, claiming that he needed to eat more snacks to make up for the big meals he had missed.

However, as the saying goes, if you walk the dark road too often, you're bound to run into a ghost.

Instead of encountering the Red Tea Demon, they did run into one of the specialties of the Ultraman world: aliens.

A blue, squid-like alien had a red, gem-like organ on its head, where its face should have been, with light flowing within it.

It happened late at night.

Unlike the gentle, neighborly older brother he appears to be during the day, Hong Tu at night wears a dark-colored trench coat, his hair is combed back with a few strands hanging down in front, and his expression is extremely arrogant. He doesn't look like a good person at all.

Since he was alone and specifically chose dark alleyways, he was unsurprisingly ambushed by a group of thugs.

Hong Tu had just taught this group of ignorant thugs a lesson and was now stepping on the head of a blond-haired guy while "kindly" borrowing money from the others.

A beam of blue light descended from the sky, and a blue alien appeared at the alley entrance.

This alien was extremely arrogant. As soon as it appeared, it made a provocative gesture towards Hong Tu, struck a pose, and then challenged Hong Tu to fight it.

"To be honest, Hong Tu didn't really understand the thought process of these aliens, so he simply taught this alien squid who had just arrived on Earth how to be a human."

e, of course, is to teach with fists.

"So, you beat up this alien?" Horii concluded, somewhat bewildered.

“Yes, they let me fight them. As a hospitable Earthling, of course I have to fulfill the request of this unknown alien friend,” Hong Tu replied earnestly.

Looking at his expression, Horii realized with despair that this man really did think that way.

"I never expected Tu to be so skilled." Daigo missed the point and instead marveled at how Hong Tu could fight an alien with her bare hands.

“However, it’s still very dangerous.” Zong Fang said with a serious expression, “If we encounter someone even more powerful, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

At this moment, everyone in the Victory Team was in the command room, discussing Hong Tu and the captured alien.

"But why do you wander around outside at night?" Lina asked pointedly.

Hong Tu had already let his hair down and regained his gentle expression from the daytime. However, perhaps because he was wearing dark clothes, even though he smiled innocently, one could still sense a somewhat incongruous sense of danger.

"Just came out to clear my head." Hong Tu said with a smile, revealing something rather dangerous. "I haven't been in a good mood lately, so I came out to have some fun tonight."

As for what to play, everyone suddenly thought of the group of thugs in the alley.

It's surprising that this young man, who previously gave off such a sunny and gentle impression, has this side to him.

No one knew how to respond, and the atmosphere in the command room became somewhat tense for a moment.

Suddenly, the door to the command room opened and three people walked in.

First up was Dr. Kashiwamura, followed by Director Sawai and Staff Officer Yoshioka.

"The alien's physical data has been analyzed," Dr. Kashiwamura said, removing his sterilized gloves. "It should be a nocturnal creature, extremely afraid of light. However, at night, its physical abilities are five times that of an average Earthling."

I heard that a commoner knocked it unconscious. Was it you?

Dr. Baicun looked at the only unfamiliar face, Hongtu, and asked with some curiosity, "How did you do that?"

"Uh," Hong Tu seemed a little uncertain as she cracked her knuckles, "it was just a normal beating?"

Dr. Baicun gave him a deep look but didn't pursue the matter further. She was still more curious about the alien and didn't have time to pay much attention to Hongtu for the time being.

"It's been a long time." Zejing stepped forward, patted Hongtu on the shoulder, and acted as if they were old friends.

"Long time no see, Mr. Sawai." Unlike Sawai's casualness, Hong Tu greeted him and Yoshioka with great respect, "And Mr. Yoshioka as well."

"Hmph, you really don't plan to join TPC?" However, Yoshioka did not give him a friendly look because of his attitude, and slapped the fan in his other hand.

"You... know each other?" Daigo interjected in surprise, looking at the three who seemed quite familiar with each other.

Of course, the others weren't much better off; they all looked surprised.

“Yes,” Sawai nodded, “We invited him to join TPC when it was first established.”

"But that kid didn't know what was good for him and refused." Yoshioka got angry just thinking about it and didn't give Hongtu any kind look at all.

"That's because I'm not really suitable." Hong Tu didn't seem to care about Yoshioka's expression and patiently explained to the others.

"Five years ago?" Lina looked at Hong Tu with some surprise. Five years ago, Hong Tu was only fifteen years old, and she was invited to join TPC at that time.

But thinking about Hongtu's records, wasn't it the same five years ago? Doesn't Director Sawai have any doubts? Or is there some hidden story?

Megumi thought of even more.

"Not suitable?" Yoshioka was even more unhappy when he heard Hong Tu say that. "With this kind of combat ability, if you're not suitable to join TPC, are you only suitable to do odd jobs outside?"

“You refused back then, but now Earth is facing a threat from extraterrestrials,” Sawai said earnestly, looking at Hongtu. “I would like to invite you again to join TPC’s Victory Team.”

Hong Tu opened his mouth, about to speak, when Yoshioka interrupted, "You'd better think it over carefully, after all, it's for the sake of the Earth!"

"Those words made him too embarrassed to refuse."

Seeing that Hong Tu remained silent, Ze Jing was somewhat disappointed, but he did not force her to speak. Instead, he changed the subject.

"Are you going to check out that alien?" He looked at the rest of the Victory Team, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he was the first to walk out of the command room.

Yoshioka snorted coldly, walked past Hongtu, and followed Sawai.

"Um, if you need anything, I can help," Hong Tu thought for a moment and then spoke up, saying to the two of them as they walked away, "I'm so sorry to have let you down."

Hong Tu greatly respects these two people.

Although these two people did not possess the same superpowers or dazzling light as those with ancient genes, he could see a unique light emanating from them.

That is the light emanating from the belief in protecting the Earth and humanity; it is the spiritual light that belongs only to those noble people.

Hong Tu has always held this kind of person in high esteem.

Chapter 29 The Foundation of TPC

The Victory Team followed Sawai and his two companions, taking the elevator deep into the base.

"My God, it's so deep!" Horii looked at the elevator display showing 128 and felt that he had truly witnessed the depth of TPC.

Others also expressed their admiration.

“This floor is mainly for research on aliens or monsters,” Sawai explained to the group. “There are well-preserved Gadi corpses, as well as Muzhen aliens and other monster remains. In addition, some aliens we captured are also here.”

Daigo nodded thoughtfully. Tiga's beam could cause monsters to explode, and the explosion should leave behind debris, but he had never thought about how to deal with that debris.

Hong Tu remained calm, showing little interest in the monsters beyond her curiosity about the base's structure.

A large group of people arrived at a small cubicle.

Next to the door of the cubicle, there is a large window with one-way glass.

“This is it,” Sawai said, standing at the window and looking into the cubicle.

The others were also very curious and gathered around him, peering inside.

Sawai very considerately made way for him.

Inside the room, a blue, squid-like alien was bound by a faintly glowing rope, and several fluorescent lights shone on it.

"Has it woken up?" Lina looked at the alien with some surprise.

“He woke up, but was very weak because of the light,” Dr. Kashiwamura replied. “This alien has telepathic abilities and can communicate with us directly through our minds.”
