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

Hong Tu took the box, nodded in satisfaction, and then disappeared into the game city.

After Hongtu disappeared for a while, Carter raised his head, turned around, and went back into Karen's room.

Hong Tu returned home, excitedly opened the packaging box, took out the game, and began to install it.

While Hong Tu is getting engrossed in the game, TPC is about to launch a new energy experiment.

"The Max Propulsion System is basically complete. Now all we need is experimental data." Dr. Yao looked at the documents in his hand. Outside the glass window in front of him was the Max Propulsion System, the culmination of his twenty years of hard work.

This will be a major milestone in the history of human power energy.

He submitted the experimental application for the Max Power System, and the TPC leadership ultimately approved the application unanimously.

Humanity truly needs greater power to evolve again and meet the various challenges of the future.

After three days of preparation, Lina, the ace pilot of the Victory Team, was finally selected as the pilot for the experiment.

"Hello?" Hong Tu snapped out of her game and answered the phone. "Who is this?"

"Tu, are you still playing games?" Karen's voice came through the phone. "Stop playing, something terrible has happened."

"???" Distracted by Karen's words, causing her game character to die, Hong Tu threw down the game controller. "What big news? Did your game store finally go bankrupt because it plagiarized alien designs?"

"What the hell? Did I offend you by using alien data to create game monsters? If you're so capable, then don't play it!"

Karen on the other end of the phone was so angry that white smoke was rising from her head. However, she had to hold back.

“This is not the time for jokes, I’m talking about serious matters,” Karen took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, “I’ve discovered that the mechanical island is targeting the TPC!”

"???" Hong Tu was a little confused. "What did the TPC do to offend them?"

“That mechanical island is a controlled weapon created by an advanced civilization to restrict a lower-level civilization.” Karen had never understood what the “forbidden energy” recorded on the mechanical fragment brought back by Hong Tu was until TPC started the experiment of the Max power system today, and only then did she understand their purpose.

"This is very likely a mechanical weapon designed to prevent the resurgence of Earth's ancient civilization. An unknown alien race is preventing Earth from evolving again," Karen said gravely. "They are preventing humanity from regaining the power of light!"

"Light," Hong Tu murmured to himself, "Have humans already begun to use the power of light?"

“That’s right, the Max Propulsion System created by Dr. Eight-Tail of TPC, that’s the power of light!” Kallen said, then suddenly realized something. “Hey, I remember you wanted light, right? Don’t even think about it, the Max Propulsion System can’t turn you into light!”

Hong Tu was speechless. "I haven't said anything yet, and do you have some misunderstanding about me? Of course I know that can't help me turn into light! If it were that easy, would I have gone through all this trouble?"

"So what do you want me to do now?" Hong Tu rubbed his forehead, somewhat helplessly. "I've tried, but that mechanical island is too big, and the metal used to manufacture it is very hard. It can't be moved by ordinary means."

“I’ve done some deduction. It’s the Max Propulsion System that activated it. So if we activate the Max Propulsion System in both directions at the same time, we can cancel out this activation and cause it to short-circuit. Then you and Tiga can take it down together,” Kallen explained her deduction.

Of course, there is another possibility, but Karen didn't say it.

"But the problem is, how am I supposed to get my hands on the Max Propulsion System?" Hong Tu asked the fatal question. "Am I supposed to borrow it from TPC?"

"Karen paused for a moment, then said, "You can't, but Neg can."

"Naige?" Hongtu looked up with a big question mark. Who is that?

“Oh, I forgot to tell you,” Karen said slowly, “the nickname TPC gave you is Nag.”

Hong Tu was speechless, having only just learned her own name. It hadn't been mentioned in the news. But, well, it's a pretty nice name.

Hong Tu could guess that news about him had probably been blocked by TPC, because he rarely appeared in public, and not in prominent places, so TPC simply blocked his existence.

After all, no one can guarantee what kind of stance someone who can control monsters would take, or what kind of panic would be caused if this were made public.

“Okay, I understand.” Hong Tu nodded. “The Max power system operates in both directions, right? I understand. I’ll tell Tiga when the time comes.”

"Also, it seems that the mechanical island has deployed a lot of robots on Earth. Keep an eye on it," Kallen added at the end. "I reckon the Victory Team will drag them back to TPC, so the TPC base might be in some danger."

"Wow, you're amazing. You even figured out the consequences."

"So, could you help me catch a few more robots?" Karen slowly revealed her purpose.

"Alright," Hong Tu had no choice but to comply, since the other party controlled her entertainment. "I'll catch a few more."

But can't the permissions on that mechanical island be changed to our side?

Chapter 34 Goblin Diu La

"Is that mechanical island really uncontrollable?" Hong Tu was somewhat interested in that island.

“You can try the robots, but as for that mechanical island, forget about it.” Karen shattered his fantasy without hesitation.

Hong Tu remained silent for a long time before having to accept reality and abandon the idea.

After hanging up the phone, Hong Tu thought about it and still felt there was no need to rush.

Let's wait until the GUTS team realizes about that island before we talk about it.

So, feeling perfectly justified, Hong Tu continued to immerse herself in the game until Tong Ye returned in the evening.

As soon as Kirino entered the house, he saw that none of the lights were on. Hong Tu was sitting in front of the TV, and the light from the TV made the room look eerie and quite strange.

"You've been playing all day again?" Kirino's eyes twitched slightly. Hong Tu had been like this for several days now. Every time he got a new game, this guy would get completely absorbed in it.

"Hmm? You're back." Hong Tu turned her head and pointed to the kitchen table. "The food is ready. Would you like it heated up?"

"It's amazing that you still remember to eat."

But since Kirino had already returned, Hong Tu turned off the game, turned on the light, rolled up her sleeves, and headed to the kitchen to heat up his food.

But Kirino stopped her.

"I'll do it myself." Kirino went into the kitchen by herself.

Hong Tu lowered her hand, leaned against the door frame, looked at his back, and tilted her head.

Kirino seems to have changed a lot lately, especially these past few days. He goes out early in the morning and doesn't come back until this late at night.

Out of a sense that "my child has finally grown up and learned to be independent," Hong Tu never bothered to find out what her child had been busy doing these past few days.

However, it seems that this guy is indeed hiding something very important from him.

But based on his understanding of this superpowered person, there were only a few things he was being kept in the dark.

The foresight regarding the future, the wariness towards him, and the connections with TPC's upper echelons.

Hong Tu didn't care about being kept in the dark; he was just a little worried that the child might fall into the tragedy of Oedipus Rex because he wanted to change the future he saw.

He took out his phone, but hesitated for a while before finally putting it back.

If you don't want me to know, then I shouldn't investigate.

Looking at the time, it was almost 10 p.m., so Hong Tu turned around and went back to her room to change her clothes.

"I'm going out now." Hong Tu greeted Tong Ye, who was eating. "Don't go out tonight."

"Okay." Kirino nodded and watched him leave.

The room fell silent for a moment.

The phone on his desk lit up with a "ding-dong," indicating a text message.

Kirino didn't open it; he knew what was inside.

But his hands still gripped the chopsticks tightly, his fingertips turning white from the force.

He didn't know if what he was doing was really the right thing to do, after all, that person was about to be consumed by the power.

But in the future he envisions, the other person seems indispensable.

Therefore, we cannot stop; perhaps there will be some opportunities in the future.

However, the superhuman who originally believed himself to be omniscient is now finding it increasingly difficult to see the ultimate future.

Hong Tu, unaware of Tong Ye's dilemma, arrived on the street and, guided by Karen, reached the city center.

In the city center, some late-night pedestrians were startled and scattered in all directions. Behind each of them, without exception, was a robot soldier.

"Wow, it's like this already, where is the Victory Team?" Hong Tu dodged the crowd that nearly bumped into him in their panic, but couldn't find the Victory Team anywhere.

“I intercepted the Victory Team’s message,” Karen explained. “However, they have patrols at night, so they should be able to find out soon.”

"You're really amazing." Hong Tu was at a loss for words when she saw her actions.

However, it's really impressive that they were able to intercept the news from the Victory Team.

"Remember to get me a few more!" Kallen ordered her combatant around without any hesitation. "I want to evolve them again."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hong Tu shrugged and got to work.

The crowd had already fled the area. Gobunny, who was not walking fast, lost track of the crowd and turned their attention to the only one standing still, Hong Tu, surrounding him.

"Can we seal them directly?" Hong Tu looked at the robot soldiers and took out the Dark Ring.

The ring flashed, brimming with confidence.

"Robots can work too." Hong Tu raised an eyebrow. He had always thought that the ring could only absorb the life force and residual power of dead monsters to form cards, but he didn't expect that robots could do it as well. It's just that the remains need to be sealed together.

“Then let’s seal it directly.” Hong Tu released his dark power, enveloping the area. He kicked Goblin, who was trying to attack him from behind, and then jumped into the air, escaping the encirclement.

The dark ring flickered with red light, and dark power swept through the robot soldiers, forming an energy tornado that passed through the red ring and formed a card at Hong Tu's fingertip.

In the blink of an eye, the energy in this area, along with Goblin, vanished completely.

Hong Tu landed on the ground, examining the newly formed card in her hand, somewhat surprised: "So many, and it only formed one card?"

The dark ring lit up.

"So, if we collect more, we can actually synthesize a large robot?" Hong Tu nodded. "Then let's capture them all, just to save the TPC base this time."

"Don't forget me," Karen interjected, genuinely worried that this guy would be so preoccupied with his collecting obsession that he'd completely forgotten about her.

"Tell me quickly, where else is there?" Hong Tu tapped her earphone to indicate that she wouldn't forget, and urged Karen to give the location.

Two non-humans worked together and successfully cleared out all the Goblin soldiers that had been dropped onto Earth in one night, only stopping their capture at dawn.

The two non-humans divided the spoils with satisfaction and went home to do their own things.

In space, the mechanical island, having failed to achieve its purpose, was not in such a good mood.

""

Where are my deployed robot soldiers? How come they all disappeared overnight? Why is the signal cut off? What happened? Is Earth really that scary?

The somewhat chaotic mechanical island conducted a new round of deductions and finally concluded that they should just go for it!

As a result, the mechanical island removed its cloaking ability and was completely exposed in the universe outside of Earth, under the GUTS satellite.
