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

"Tu, it seems like Mechanical Island is about to launch a full-scale attack." Kallen, who had been monitoring the situation, instantly deciphered the enemy's intentions and quickly contacted the strongest fighter in her faction.

Blue arcs of electricity flowed across the surface of the mechanical island, and the sharp corners at its bottom acted as transmitters, launching the blue arcs of electricity towards Earth.

The Earth's surface was struck by continuous lightning, causing fires in many places, destroying many buildings, and the number of casualties is unknown.

"Has the Victory Team figured out how to deal with this?" Hong Tu hadn't even gotten home yet and was standing on the street when he looked up and saw the mechanical island, its surface crackling with electricity, preparing for the next attack.

“Let me see, it seems they’re about to deploy a secret weapon.” Karen said with some surprise, “The giant mothership, the Atdis, powered by the Max propulsion system.”

But it will take time. You can go find the Victory team now.

"Okay, okay." Hong Tu was still lost in thought. What exactly was the Atdis? It sounded pretty impressive. But the fact that it was equipped with the Max propulsion system made it a necessary component.

Looking around to make sure no one was watching, Hong Tu found a secluded corner and disappeared into the street.

The Victory Team had already devised a plan. Munakata and his group were preparing to head to the hangar and board the Atlas when they were suddenly blocked in the base's passageway by a person shrouded in black mist.

Hong Tu had come here following the light of Tiga without checking his surroundings at all. So when he came to his senses, he saw the GUTS team in front of him, as well as many TPCs passing by.

Suddenly surrounded by onlookers, Hong Tu sensed something was wrong.

"Oh wow, isn't this entrance a bit too arrogant?"

But even disguised, he wasn't intimidated. He stood firmly in place, ignoring the wary and fearful looks around him, and calmly said, "I have a way to deal with that mechanical island."

You could say she exudes a powerful aura.

Chapter 35 Kallen, the Love-Obsessed One

The Victory Team was jogging towards the hangar where the Atedis was parked when they unexpectedly encountered an accident on the way.

A black, mist-like mass of energy blocked the middle of the road. The dark energy churned and gradually expanded. When the black mist dissipated slightly, a familiar figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

The familiar black mist, the familiar two red lights, the familiar human figure.

Those who witnessed the whole thing:

Is Nigel always this scary when he appears? I almost drew my gun!

Other passersby were also startled, even more so than the Victory Team. Several of them had their legs go weak and were supporting themselves with their hands.

After all, most people in this base were unaware of Nag's existence and thought the base had been invaded by some aliens.

“I know how to deal with that mechanical island.” Fortunately, Nag, no, Hong Tu, wasn’t there to cause them trouble, and quickly explained his purpose.

The members of the Victory Team looked at each other, not immediately understanding what he meant.

Nigg is going to join them in fighting that mechanical island? You can't eat that thing, can you?

It's understandable that they think that way; the scenes of Hong Tu eating monsters several times before were just too memorable.

"You mean, you know the weakness of that mechanical island?" Daigo, who had a better sense for Hongtu than the others, quickly realized what was going on, took a few steps forward, and asked eagerly.

“Of course,” Hong Tu nodded, “that’s why I’m here.”

“Captain.” Munakata called out to Megumi Kijima in the command room, seeking her instructions.

"Daigo, bring Nag to the command room." Megumi thought for a moment. "The rest of you continue boarding the Atlas."

"But," Zong Fang said, somewhat uneasy.

"Execute the order!" Megumi Kijima forcefully issued the command.

"Yes!"

"Please come with me." Daigo stepped aside and gestured to Hongtu in an inviting manner.

Hong Tu nodded, walked through the passage cleared by the crowd, and followed Daigu toward the command room.

The others watched their retreating figures, and finally, after being dismissed by Zongfang, they went back to doing their own things.

However, the hushed discussions continued unabated.

The others boarded the Atdis as usual. Regardless of Hongtu's plans, they needed to go to the mechanical island, and the Atdis was essential for getting there.

Hong Tu and Daigu walked one after the other in the high-tech, silver-white corridor.

“Tiga.” Hong Tu suddenly spoke, but instead of the usual monstrous roar, it was a slightly hoarse male voice.

Daigo was suddenly exposed, his hidden identity was exposed, and he was startled. He instinctively wanted to see if anyone was around.

"Heh, so afraid of your identity being exposed?" He was amused by Daigo's reaction and couldn't help but laugh out loud, but then his tone changed and became somewhat unpredictable, "Isn't being a hero good?"

Daigo was initially a little embarrassed by his laughter, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but turn around and look directly at the person whose face he couldn't see.

“I am not a hero,” Hong Tu heard the person in front of him say. “I am just a human being.”

Because I am human, I want to protect everyone; because I am human, I want to use this power; because I am human, I don't want to be worshipped as a god.

Hong Tu looked at the person in front of her, and even Tiga's light could not obscure that human light.

Warmth, full of hope.

I'm a little envious.

Hong Tu sighed inwardly at the brilliance of that light. Although it was faint, like a firefly, it was truly warm and beautiful.

On the contrary, he himself was surrounded by nothing but darkness.

“Remember your words.” Hong Tu walked past him. “By the way, do you know the essence of Ultraman Tiga’s light?”

"Huh?" Daigo turned around and jogged a few steps to catch up with him. "Do you know? Can you tell me?"

Hong Tu glanced at the person next to her. They weren't shy at all. Were we that familiar with each other?

But he still honestly told Daigo: "It is hope and faith. The most essential light that comes from the human heart."

"I see." Daigo stopped and crossed his arms, nodding knowingly. He had guessed before, but he wasn't entirely sure. Hongtu's words confirmed his thoughts.

"Hey? Wait for me!" Da Gu, who had stopped thinking halfway through, looked up and saw that Hong Tu had already walked far away, so he hurriedly chased after her.

Don't you need me to lead the way?

In the command room, there were Megumi Kijima, Nozue, Dr. Yao, and Director Sawai.

"You mean, they're after the Max Propulsion System?" Megumi Kijima pointed out the key point.

"Impossible!" Before Hong Tu could answer, Dr. Yawei stood up excitedly, denying the conclusion. "The Max Propulsion System is something I spent twenty years developing! It's my life's work!"

“That’s not entirely accurate.” Hong Tu glanced at the excited Dr. Eight-Tailed Fox. “Their goal is light.”

Daigo thought of what Dr. Yao and Rena had said: the Max Propulsion System was light.

“Mastering the technology of light is a qualitative leap for a civilization,” Hong Tu said lazily, leaning back in his chair. “After all, light represents infinite possibilities.”

After hearing his words, Yamata seemed to be deep in thought, clearly having received some inspiration.

“Once they discover a planet with a more advanced civilization than themselves, they will launch an attack.” Director Sawai saw through the deeper essence of the matter, his expression somber. “This is too much.”

Hong Tu nodded in agreement, her tone somewhat sarcastic: "They can only bully the current Earth."

"Then how can we deal with that island?" Daigo's biggest concern was how to eliminate the enemy.

However, before Hong Tu could even speak, someone else voiced their opinion first.

"I've got it! If the Max Propulsion System were to activate it and give it the ability to move," was the first solution that Ye Rui came up with.

"Right, if we use opposite forces to cancel each other out, we can make the Max power system rotate in the reverse direction," Dr. Yawei continued.

"???" Hong Tu was stunned when she was interrupted and heard a familiar answer.

Are all you highly intelligent people this amazing? You actually came to the same conclusion as Karen?!

Do you know Karen? She's artificial intelligence! A supercomputer, okay? Do you think your brains can even compare?!

"But what should we do?" Megumi turned her head and asked them.

“All we need to do is rotate the Max power system in reverse on the surface of the mechanical island.” Dr. Yao looked at Nori. “He’s a genius!”

Yes, that's right. Hongtu agrees.

After praising Ye Rui's genius brain, Hong Tu thought of that supercomputer lady who claimed to be the number one computing expert on Earth.

So, while everyone was engrossed in discussing the plan and couldn't see what was happening in the black fog, he sat seemingly unconcerned on the side, but secretly texted Karen under the table.

You're not good enough. The method you've figured out can be figured out by someone using their brain in no time!

Who?

The young prodigy of the Victory Team, member Nozuri.

Don't touch it, let me see!

Do as you please.

I think I'm in love!

Wake up, will you? What kind of romance do you, a computer, have? Do you even have that plugin?

I have a virtual personality, okay?! How come I can't fall in love?

Stop kidding me, he's the genius strategist of the Victory Team, you're just a computer, okay?

What's wrong with computers? Programmers and computers are a perfect match!

Besides, do you even know anything about dating? What right do you, a perpetual single dog, have to chime in!

After looking at his profile, I knew he would be the one who understood me best!

Ha ha

Hong Tu refused to continue talking to this unreasonable, love-struck computer girl and coldly turned off her phone.

He was definitely not discouraged by the phrase "a lifelong single dog," absolutely not!

While Hongtu was distracted, the others had already come up with a concrete and feasible plan.

But there is still one problem that needs to be solved.

“However, there is still a problem,” Yawei frowned, “to make the power cancel each other out, we also need to start the Max power system from the inside at the same time.”
