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

Hong Tu turned around and said to Da Gu in a serious tone, "Da Gu, I feel that there might be a problem with Xincheng."

He pointed to his head, making no attempt to hide the fact that Xincheng had a problem with his brain.

Daigo's face stiffened. It wasn't just that his brain was malfunctioning—no, no, I mean, he was possessed by an alien.

But he couldn't bring himself to say it, so he could only laugh it off: "It's probably because he's not feeling well today. He had a minor accident earlier and just woke up from a coma."

Hong Tu nodded, indicating that she understood. Seeing Xin Cheng's expression that said, "I know you just hurt your brain," she patted Xin Cheng's shoulder encouragingly: "It's okay, you'll be fine soon."

Shinjo turned his head silently, looking at Daigo with a reproachful gaze:

Daigo chuckled dryly and looked away; he wasn't wrong.

Hong Tu didn't expose the two of them. She smiled and said goodbye to them, then slipped away, making an excuse that she had work to do.

When I say it's work, it's not without reason, because he did indeed skip a day of work.

Mr. Tanaka, you shouldn't be angry, right?

Chapter 53 Sila and Mami

After Hong Tu left, she didn't expect to receive an email from Dai Gu that evening.

"To the zoo?" Hong Tu raised an eyebrow, surprised by the invitation.

The email said he would be taking a vacation in a few days and was going to the zoo with Lina on a date.

But why did you invite me on your date? To be a third wheel?

Therefore, for the sake of Daigo's emotional intelligence, Hongtu righteously refused the invitation, using the excuse that she had to go on a long trip to see a friend.

Yes, I'm going to see a friend.

A friend who is not human.

"Sila, I've come to see you!" Hong Tu shouted as he squatted in the crater of a volcano.

A clear, melodious bird call rang out from the volcano, followed by the emergence of a giant bird's head from the crater.

Its head resembles a parrot's, its feathers have turned black, and there is a red blush on each side of its beak, making it look quite cute.

"Oh, it's almost finished evolving." Hong Tu looked at the giant bird head and was satisfied to find that its evolution was nearing completion. The darkness he had given it was about to be transformed into light.

"Chirp!" Silas called out to him, then pulled her head back.

The young man stretched his body, then leaped into the crater.

A giant, strange bird flew over the crater, caught the falling youth, and carried him into the volcano, eventually flying into a cave in the volcanic wall near the lava.

Xila folded its wings and landed in the cave. Hongtu jumped off its back and landed gently on the ground.

The strange bird bent down, looking at this "human" who was very small to it, and chirped softly.

"Don't worry, I won't leave right away." Hong Tu stroked the strange bird's huge beak and said gently, "You can rest assured to complete the final evolution. I will take care of you."

Sira craned its neck, let out a loud cry, flapped its wings, and couldn't wait to enter the cave to digest the power and undergo its final evolution.

"Don't rush, don't rush." ​​Hongtu calmed it down, looked at it with a serious expression, and instructed it again, "No one knows what will happen in the final step."

My darkness, though highly inclusive, is also quite domineering. The reason you were able to successfully transform it into light was because I hadn't given you enough power before, and because my power wasn't strong at the time.

But now, it's different. It's much more difficult to transform it into light, so you have to be careful, you know?

And you don't need to be too anxious. If you fail, I'll help you find other lights.

I've discovered a very powerful light, and the person who wields it is kind. Of course, if he's unwilling to help, I'll just snatch it from him for you.

"Chirp," Sira nodded, walked into the depths of the cave, lay down on a flat open space, chirped at Hong Tu to signal him to start quickly, then closed his eyes, eagerly preparing for the final evolution.

Hong Tu was both amused and exasperated to see it evolving so quickly. "Haven't we caught up after all this time? Is my only use to help you evolve?"

But over the years, Hongtu has gotten somewhat used to it.

A black ball of light condensed in his palm, and with his other hand he took out a dark ring, allowing the dark power to pass through the ring and turn into black particles of light on the other side, gradually enveloping Sira's enormous body.

Sila's heart was always consumed by hatred. The death of its former master was an unforgettable nightmare for it. Therefore, it always wanted to complete its evolution as soon as possible to avenge its former master.

This is also why, as a light-attribute being, it can accept the dark power of Hong Tu.

Sira was enveloped in black particles of light, and with each breath, these particles could be seen being absorbed into its body. Afterward, this darkness would be gradually transformed within it into its own power.

Hongtu retrieved the ring and looked at Xila, still able to recall the first time he met her.

At that time, he learned of the existence of ancient monsters and was searching the world for their tracks. However, he never expected to find a mutated parrot inside a volcano.

The once small and beautiful parrot has become unrecognizable, with patches of feathers falling off its body, and it has also become very aggressive.

But Hong Tu truly noticed this parrot, which had mutated for unknown reasons, because he saw the light.

This was the first time he had discovered that animals could also emit light, and that there were two rays of light.

At that time, drawn by the golden light, Hong Tu did not harm the little creature. Instead, after easily suppressing its attack, she calmly began to communicate with it.

Through difficult communication, Hong Tu learned that the parrot was named Xila, that its mutation was caused by something called "Zilda Gas," that it harbored hatred, and that it hid in the volcano, risking its life to evolve.

They also learned the origin of the other light emanating from Sila.

"Won't you come out and have a chat?" Hong Tu said to the light hiding above Xila's head, seeing that Xila had completely fallen asleep.

Golden light flew out from the crest of Xila's head, circled the cave, and finally landed in front of Hongtu, taking the form of a girl.

The girl's light wasn't very strong, and her manifested form was rather transparent, like a soul radiating light.

No, perhaps, this is the girl's soul, but even just the light of a soul prevented Sila from completely falling into darkness.

"Mr. Hong, it's been a long time." The girl greeted Hong Tu with a smile.

"Long time no see, Mami." Hongtu waved to her. "Don't just stand there, let's chat."

Mami floated over and sat down next to the young man. Looking at him and feeling the aura emanating from him, she felt somewhat at ease.

"Mr. Hong, thank you for helping Sila." The girl hugged her knees, looked at Sila sleeping deep in the cave, and smiled gently.

"I told you, don't call me Mr. Hong anymore, just call me Tu, or I don't mind if you call me brother." Hong Tu comforted the girl beside him like a friendly older brother, "Don't worry too much, Xila has a strong heart, and with your help, the evolution will most likely be successful. Besides, at worst, we can go to that person and borrow some of their help."

"Mmm." The girl nodded emphatically, her smile completely untroubled.

Whether she lost her life in her prime or found herself in a situation where no one but Hong Tu could see her, this young girl never complained or blamed fate, and always faced everything with a smile.

Powerful, beautiful, warm, and full of hope.

Every time Hong Tu saw the girl, he would sincerely admire her radiance.

"Alright, look what good things I brought you." Hong Tu smiled mysteriously at her and took out many things from a mass of darkness that materialized beside her.

"Take a look at this first. This year, a giant of light appeared outside, named Ultraman Tiga. He's the powerful wielder of light I told you about before." Hong Tu took out his computer, turned it on, and played a video he had downloaded about Tiga. "This guy is super powerful. He defeated many alien invaders and monsters, and protected Earth many times."

“And this, a game made by a friend of mine, they’re all really, really great.” Hong Tu then took out the game console she got from Karen. “This is a specially designed game, you don’t need to use your hands to control it, you only need a little bit of force to control the game, it’s a game console made specifically for people like us.”

"and this"

The young man took out many things and enthusiastically shared them with the girl next to him.

The girl cooperated by showing an amazed expression, and under the young man's guidance, she quickly became addicted to these games and videos.

On the conditions for becoming a homebody

Chapter 54 Revenge Begins

Sera's evolution lasted for nearly two months before it finally came to an end.

But this evolution cannot be considered a complete success.

Sila's power is light, and Red Tea's darkness is extremely unique. Combined with the Zildar gas that caused its mutation, the power within Sila's body has achieved a balance.

Hong Tu frowned. After several previous absorptions, his power was becoming increasingly difficult to convert. This time, the power he gave to Xila was only partially converted. Fortunately, the darkness neither corrupted Xila's light nor absorbed the power of the Zildar gas.

It seems we still need to find Ultraman Tiga.

The girl beside Sila was overjoyed to see her wake up and flew around her excitedly, constantly asking, "Sila, how are you feeling? Is something wrong?"

However, Sera was completely unaware of the girl's existence. It could not see the soul of the girl who had been with it for over twenty years.

Hong Tu watched as the girl chattered incessantly around the giant, strange bird, receiving no response, yet she still didn't stop.

She needs light too.

Hong Tu pondered how to explain this to Tiga. It was just a favor; Tiga wouldn't be so petty.

"Chirp!" Xila chirped to the red tea bushes.

The young man looked up, glanced at the oblivious strange bird, then at the girl sitting on the bird's crest, and relayed the girl's questions to Sira on her behalf.

Sila answered each question, earning a reassuring smile from the girl.

"Chirp!" Sira flapped its wings and let out a long cry before bending down and gently rubbing its sharp beak against the young man in front of it.

"You've made up your mind?" Hong Tu stroked the strange bird's beak. "Mami might not want you to do this."

The invisible girl nodded worriedly, instinctively wanting to stop it, but then, remembering that Sila couldn't see her, she looked pleadingly at the only person who could see her—the young man.

"Chirp chirp," Sira shook its head slightly. It had to do that. After enduring so much pain and risking its life, it had forced itself to mutate and evolve. Its revenge was about to be completed.

Its purpose has always been clear: to obtain the Zildar gas. This is why it insists on not removing the Zildar gas from its body.

From the moment she lost Mami, all that remained in Sheila's heart was revenge.

Hong Tu never advises others to give up, just as he maliciously never tells Xila that the girl's soul has always been with it.

This attempt at persuasion was based solely on the girl's pleading gaze.

So after offering that one piece of advice, he didn't try to persuade her again, but instead let Sira pursue her revenge. Even when the girl repeatedly asked him to persuade her, he didn't say another word.

Hongtu comforted the girl, telling her not to worry, and looked up at Xila: "Do you know where it is?"

"Chirp," Sira nodded. When it evolved, it retained the Zildar gas in its body so that it could find other Zildar gas at any time. Another purpose was to evolve the ability to eliminate Zildar gas.

“Let’s go then,” Hong Tu flashed and appeared above Xila’s head. “I’ll go with you. You’re no match for that guy outside. It’s dangerous to go out like this.”

You don't want to hurt humans, do you? Then leave the rest to me.
