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

“Golza has potential. With the blessing of dark power and the addition of core fire, it can evolve into Flame Golza.” Hong Tu put down the empty bottle, draped his arm over the back of the sofa, and lay down lazily.

Upon hearing his reply, Kirino nonchalantly turned her head away, but her expression remained tense: "What do you want to do? Take down Ultraman Tiga?"

“There’s no rush to deal with Tiga,” Hong Tu said slowly, having piqued his interest. Seeing his gaze lingering in his direction, she added, “We do need to deal with those rats first.”

Kirino's hands clenched involuntarily. He knew who Hong Tu was talking about—a Kirielod who had approached him before, but Hong Tu had stopped him.

Those guys have been lurking on Earth for a long time and are currently gathering strength to deal with Tiga. But Hong Tu's tone was very confident; he was certain that he had the ability to wipe out the Kirieloids.

Has it become that powerful?

Hong Tu noticed his actions, and felt nothing but helplessness.

No matter what you say, those who don't believe him won't believe you. It's like how he clearly stated that he didn't want to rule the world, but no one believed him.

Darkness is often associated with evil in people's minds. Even though there is no legend of the Dark Circle in this world, it is still labeled as evil by all those who know its true nature.

The repeated invitations from treacherous individuals lurking in the shadows of Earth, coupled with Kirino Makio's growing distrust, were the best proof of this. Therefore, he simply let it go.

"What are you going to do?" Kirino pursed his lips. In the news, experts were analyzing whether this Gorza was the same one that had appeared in Mongolia before.

"Do you like Ultraman Tiga?" Hong Tu asked casually, because from Kirino's tone, he seemed to be quite protective of Ultraman Tiga.

“No,” Kirino denied his question, “I don’t like Tiga.” Why is he loved and respected, while he is called a monster? They are clearly the same kind of people.

Tsk, what an dishonest child. He clearly longs for it, doesn't he?

Hong Tu looked at the light emanating from the person beside her. It was dazzling and bright. Even though there were wisps of black and red, it did not give people a sense of unease. On the contrary, it was like an ornament, making the light even more dazzling.

You see, he is drawn to such light. Even though he is tainted by darkness, he will never be assimilated or fall into darkness. Instead, he will soon shed his brilliance and become even brighter.

Darkness always yearns for light, doesn't it?

“Then let’s do it together.” Hong Tu said with a wicked sense of humor. “The Kirieloids will make their move in a week. They’re supposedly powerful warriors who can defeat Tiga, and they even want me to add some dark power to them.”

"Those rats are no match for Ultraman Tiga. They're no match for him," Kirino replied dryly.

“That’s true, then it’s not worth helping.” Hong Tu replied slowly. “However, Tiga is still a great help, at least he can help eliminate the Kirieloids.”

Kirino then relaxed his expression a little.

Hong Tu couldn't help but chuckle, then briskly got up and headed to the kitchen. "Have you had dinner? Would you like me to add some for you?"

"Hmm," Kirino replied after a long pause.

Since it was evening, Hongtu didn't cook too much; he simply made two bowls of noodles and two side dishes.

The two sat at the dining table and ate together, feeling a bit like family.

After dinner, Hongtu cleared the table, washed the dishes, and then diligently cleaned the house.

It feels like he's a father who's both a dad and a mom.

After finishing his tea, Hong Tu clapped his hands with a great sense of accomplishment before changing his clothes and going out in a well-fitting, stylish black trench coat.

Tonight's going to be busy.

Kyrielords, do you dare threaten him? Are you ready to face the darkness?

The dark ring flickered with an ominous red light, and the monster cards contained in the card box sensed their master's thoughts and became restless, with low growls echoing in the dark corners.

Soothing the excited monsters, Hong Tu curled her lips into a malicious smile. Gifts always need to be prepared in advance to make them seem more special, don't they?

The dark ring flickered.

Hong Tu glanced at her briefly, her smile fading, and said expressionlessly, "What are you so proud of?"

Chapter 6: The Dark Faction's Strengths

A ring of shimmering light emanated from Hong Tu as he walked through the darkness, tracing the wisp of dark aura he had left on the Kirieloid.

"Do you know the difference between the Light Faction and the Dark Faction?" Hong Tu suddenly asked.

The dark ring flickered hesitantly.

"No, justice and evil are actually the outcome for the victors and the vanquished." Hong Tu smiled. "Let me ask you a different question."

What do you think are the strengths of the Light and Dark factions respectively?

The ring flashed, its bright red light exuding confidence.

"Haha, protecting and causing destruction, that's not wrong. But if you ask me..."

The Light faction excels at creating miracles from despair, forging bonds with shared beliefs, and creating the future together. Although Hong Tu couldn't do these things, that didn't stop him from praising them.

However, as the topic shifted, his expression turned sinister, and an ominous red light appeared in his eyes.

"The Dark Faction, heh, they're better at killing each other, using their own power to crush their teammates for their own selfish gain."

"Just like what we're doing now, although we're not teammates, we belong to the same dark faction, so it's kind of like fighting each other."

“We’re here, this is it.” Hong Tu stood at the corner of a quiet, deserted street.

He could sense that his dark power was deep beneath his feet.

"Looks like this street belongs to them. They're really rich; they must have been running it for a long time." He concealed himself in the darkness, and dark power spread out from him, merging into the shadows where the light couldn't reach, gradually enveloping the area, and even seeping into the ground bit by bit.

“Saddra.” Hong Tu took out the ring, pinched it between his fingers, and shot the card of the rock monster Saddra into the underground cavern. It transformed into a monster and spread the mist that the machine could not detect, leaving an empty area in the center, which happened to be the underground base of the Kirieloids.

"Let's leave it at that for now." Hong Tu thought for a moment, then shot the ancient mound into the ground to protect Sadra, just in case.

"Should we contact the Victory Team?" Hong Tu stopped in her tracks as she was about to leave. "Eh, never mind, the Victory Team is busy enough already."

Hong Tu retreated into the shadows, disappearing completely into the darkness: "However, Tiga shouldn't mind, right?"

A week is enough time to get a lot done.

The GUTS team switched to laser weapons and won their first battle, defeating the Gakuma Brothers monster with the help of Tiga.

Daigo has become somewhat proficient in Tiga's skills.

The Kirieloids have devised a plan, chosen the first step to dominate the Earth, and are just waiting for the right opportunity.

Hong Tu successfully infiltrated the Kirieloid army's lines, injecting dark energy into the so-called "strongest warrior," making it even more powerful. Meanwhile, without the Kirieloids noticing, he completely surrounded their stronghold, waiting only for the opportune moment.

And the time has finally come.

Because of the statement issued by the GUTS team regarding the Titan, specifically Ultraman Tiga, it became a focus of public attention. On that day, GUTS captain Megumi Kiyama was invited to give a live interview on television.

"That giant that suddenly appeared in front of us, you call him Ultraman Tiga, right?" TV host Ms. Nakayama asked Captain Megumi next to her, and received a nod in response.

"Captain Ju, is this Ultraman a friend of us humans? Is it possible that he could pose a threat to us?"

"Ultraman Tiga possesses power and a way of thinking that we humans cannot understand," Captain Megumi said, trying her best to express her opinion that Tiga is friendly.

"As expected of the captain of the GUTS team, I think she's the only female captain in Ultraman." Adjusting the camera angle, Hong Tu, while working part-time, daydreamed, "Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a great presence. The aura around her is beautiful too."

"E, another light, is it an artificial light created by the ancient people? I remember it being called Yu Lian. Did it reside in its descendants at that time?"

After the interview, Captain Megumi and the director exchanged pleasantries, while Hong Tu mingled quietly to the side, waiting for the arrival of the Kirieloids.

Speak of the devil, and he appears; the invisible, transparent Kirieloid has possessed Miss Nakayama's body.

Miss Zhongshan's face turned pale, her hair stood on end, and she looked like a ghost. Strands of black lightning exploded on her body and slowly floated into the air, frightening the surrounding staff into moving away from her.

"I tell you, the earth will be reborn soon, and the sacred flames will burn away all the filth. Hahahaha, the Kirieloids will rule the earth, and I will prove it to you right away!" After saying that, the Kirieloids left the body, and Miss Zhongshan fell down.

The live stream was in chaos. Captain Megumi calmly pondered the words left by the Kirieloids and quickly realized what was going on.

Hong Tu looked at the chaotic crowd, yawned in boredom, and watched Captain Ju Jianhui hurriedly leave.

The building not far away was engulfed in flames and exploded into a pile of wreckage.

“This is proof,” said Megumi Kijima, her face grim and tense. This was clearly a threat.

“That building is still under construction, so there shouldn’t be too many injured people,” Hong Tu said suddenly, standing behind her.

Megumi suddenly turned her head and noticed him: "Are you a photographer?"

“Hello, Captain Kijima, I didn’t expect you to notice me. My name is Hong Tu, and I’m a fan of yours.” Hong Tu used polite language.

He walked to the garage on the side: "Would you like to come along and take a look? We can chat about the Kirielod people while we're at it."

After hesitating for a moment, Izumi followed him into the garage and got into the car.

"You seem to trust Ultraman Tiga a lot," Hong Tu said casually as she drove.

Seeing that Megumi didn't answer immediately, he smiled again, not caring much: "Don't misunderstand, I trust Ultraman Tiga too."

Ultraman Tiga is on the side of humanity.

Jujian Hui keenly noticed his tone, which was very certain and without the slightest hesitation. However, before she could speak, Hong Tu interrupted her.

"arrive."

The two got out of the car and looked at the ruins.

"It's very powerful, isn't it?"

"What do you know about the Kirieloids?" Captain Megumi hadn't forgotten what Hongtu had said earlier.

“I wouldn’t say I know,” Hong Tu denied the captain’s probing, “It’s just a guess.”

He glanced at the serious face of the person next to him. "If I were a Kirieloid, having proven my power, I would now be a threat. I'm afraid the next time it won't be this kind of deserted building."

He looked at the ruins, narrowed his eyes to avoid revealing his emotions: "To rule the earth and make humanity submit, of course you need to find a representative."

Just like in ancient times, if a king submitted, it meant that the whole country would also submit.

"Captain, it's showing itself to you today."

Seeing Captain Jujian Hui deep in thought, and then quickly coming up with something, Hong Tu thought for a moment and said, "For the sake of such beautiful light, I'll give you another piece of intelligence." He added another sentence.

“These marks don’t look like they were left by a bomb. If it wasn’t a bomb, then where did the so-called ‘sacred flame’ come from?” He emphasized the word “flame,” giving a clear hint.

Chapter 7 The Gift

Seeing Captain Kei's hurried departure, Hong Tu stretched and leaned against the car door, looking at the ruins with a cold expression.

Having just spoken so much with Jujian Hui, Hongtu felt emboldened.
