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

The Flying Swallow flew overhead, and the leaders smiled and waved to Lina New City, thanking them for their rescue.

“If older people like to show off too much, they’ll be disliked by younger people,” Sawai teased Yoshioka beside her.

"Aren't you the same?" Yoshioka retorted, not to be outdone.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"What kind of secret meeting are you holding here with your subordinates?" Yoshioka finally asked.

Sawai smiled and said without hesitation, "I plan to set up sub-teams similar to the Victory Team in TPCs in various countries to solve some technical application problems related to aircraft equipment."

"Director!" Daigo, who had reverted to his human form, emerged from the corner, calling out "Director!" as he ran over.

Sawai waved and greeted him.

Yoshioka watched his movements and said, "You have excellent subordinates."

Sawai turned his head and surprisingly rejected his statement: "Huh? No, not a subordinate," he looked at Daigo who was running over, "a brother."

Chapter 66 The Dragon of Kunlun Mountain

After the Desis Galaxy's biological weapon, Desismania, was destroyed, Hong Tu began investigating their remaining contingencies.

One of his major sources of information was naturally the monsters or alien creatures on Earth.

"People from the Desis Galaxy?" The raccoon dog pondered the name as it poured wine for Hong Tu while holding a wine jar.

Hong Tu, dressed in a black bathrobe, leaned lazily against the soft sleeper, holding a wine cup in one hand and looking down at the clear wine in the cup: "Those guys who kidnapped the leaders of various TPC countries and even released global news about it."

Upon hearing this description, the raccoon instinctively looked up at Hong Tu, but then quickly lowered its head again.

Haven't you already infiltrated the enemy ranks? Why are you still asking us?

Hong Tu noticed the raccoon's question: "They must still have some backup plan. Besides, I haven't even seen the guys behind them; those were just biological weapons before."

The raccoon cat was flattered and hugged the wine jar, never expecting Hong Tu to explain it to it.

But it quickly came to its senses, twitched its ears, squinted its eyes, and flicked its tail behind it, pondering for a while: "The Desis Galaxy people have invaded Earth before. That happened 18 years ago, I remember, it was for an alien that was contained by the TPC, an alien that was left behind and fell into a deep sleep, codenamed 'Sleeping Beauty'."

"???" Sleeping Beauty? Is she really that beautiful?

"That alien should be in TPC's hands now. I heard it was handed over to TPC's Far East today." Tanuki poured Hongtu another cup of wine.

"Oh, with the Victory Team?" Hongtu took a sip of his drink. "Any other information? Like, what kind of weapons they had during the invasion 18 years ago?"

"During that invasion, their weapons weren't very powerful; the old defense forces alone were enough to repel them. They probably weren't any particularly strong opponents."

However, a strange thing happened 18 years ago.

The raccoon opened its eyes slightly, its usual smile gone: "In the same year, after they attacked Earth, a legend, whether true or false, began to circulate."

Legend has it that a dragon appeared in the Kunlun Mountains!

"A dragon?" Hong Tu paused, his hand holding the wine cup still, and looked at the raccoon in surprise. "Are you sure it's a dragon?"

"No one knows whether it's true or not." The raccoon twitched its ears. "Later, many powerful demons went to Kunlun Mountain to search for it, but they all came up empty-handed."

"I wonder if it's a true or false rumor?" Hong Tu put down her wine cup, waved her hand, and signaled to the raccoon not to pour any more wine.

The raccoon respectfully put down the wine jar and left, leaving him alone in the cubicle.

Hong Tu propped her head up, pondering the information she had just received.

They invaded Earth 18 years ago, and the aliens they left behind should be the monitors.

No wonder they knew of his existence, but there were some errors in their intelligence.

It's likely that the TPC branch that previously kept the alien harbored some hostility towards him, which made them feel that he was an adversary of Tiga.

But the "dragon" that Tanuki mentioned also makes people a little curious.

The tanuki specifically mentioned it, so it must have some speculation involved.

Furthermore, we should also check out the "Sleeping Beauty" from the Victory team.

The young man casually picked up the wine jar, drank the last bit of wine in it, put the jar down, and disappeared into the tavern.

A while after he left, the raccoon opened the cubicle door, came in, and tidied up the empty wine jars.

Kunlun Mountain, also known as Kunlun Xu, Kunlun Qiu, or Yushan, has been a legendary land of dragon veins since ancient times. Numerous myths and legends surround Kunlun Mountain.

That's why so many monsters believe in the legend of the dragon that appears here, and are drawn to it by its reputation.

Hong Tu, dressed in a thin bathrobe, floated above the mountain peak. The wind and snow were flying, but they were blocked by the black mist around him by half a meter.

The young man's dark eyes gradually turned deep red, and his gaze pierced through layers of rock to see the mechanical dragon hidden deep beneath the mountains.

"Ah!"

The next moment, the youth disappeared into the air and appeared inside the mountain range.

“This is it.” He squatted on the head of the mechanical dragon, black mist spreading from his body, etching black patterns onto the silver-white dragon’s body, and the power of darkness fed back everything about the dragon to him.

This dragon was created based on Earth's legends, with the long neck of an Eastern dragon and the limbs of a Western dragon; it is indeed a weapon of the Desis galaxy people. It is exquisitely crafted, but it lacks a crucial component, rendering the dragon unable to operate.

He raised his hand, and something wrapped in black mist flew out of the dragon's mouth and floated on Hong Tu's palm.

This contains some peculiar substances stored inside the dragon; he needs to take it back and have someone study it.

One last look at the mechanical dragon beneath my feet; the black markings on its body had faded, and it had returned to its original state.

With a malicious smile, the young man disappeared into the Kunlun Mountains.

Daigo had just come out of the command room and was looking for a place to contact Rena.

Lina fainted today because she hadn't rested for too long, so the captain forced her to go back and rest.

But strangely, he couldn't get in touch with Lina.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned around to look at the empty passage behind him, scratching his head in confusion.

"Strange." Daigo turned around, sensing something was off. Why did he feel like someone was behind him just now?

But when he turned around, he found nothing, and could only shake his head in bewilderment and continue walking forward.

After he left, Hong Tu appeared at the intersection of the passage, arms crossed, frowning as she looked at the transparent spirit following behind Daigu.

Isn't that Lina?

How did it turn out like this?

Seeing that Daigo seemed oblivious, and that Rena's spirit also appeared dazed and confused, whether attracted by the light emanating from him or driven by instinctive obsession, she followed behind Daigo.

Daigo finally stopped at the entrance of an empty T-shaped passageway, took out his communicator, but couldn't reach the person he wanted to contact: "Where did Rena go?"

Perhaps hearing him call her name, Lina, who was standing beside him, responded: "Daigo."

Daigo heard the call and instinctively turned his head to look to his side, only to see an empty passage.

He put away the communicator, hesitated for a moment, and then headed towards the passageway beside him.

After he turned into another passage, Hong Tu came out from another passage and followed him in.

Suddenly, a sharp alarm blared throughout the passage, and Daigo quickly ran to where the alarm had come from.

This is the laboratory where "Sleeping Beauty" was previously sealed.

"Commander!" Daigo quickly contacted Munakata, who was already on the plane.

"What are you doing?" Horii asked Daigo as he fastened his seatbelt.

"An anomaly has occurred in the examination room!"

Seeing what was happening on Daigo's side, Horii was taken aback. Wasn't this the place where "Sleeping Beauty" was sealed?

"What's the connection here?" Zong Fang asked thoughtfully. "Daigu, you handle that. We need to fly to Kunlun Mountain."

Chapter 67 Identity Exposed

Daigo pushed open the door to the examination room, and a wave of high temperature hit him, making the entire room faintly glow red.

He turned his head and saw Dr. Tango walking towards the door: "What's going on?"

Dr. Tango explained to him, "It's suddenly gotten hot here for no reason. It's dangerous. We need to seal this place off!"

After saying that, he led a group of people and ran out.

"What?" Daigo watched them leave, bewildered, before finally turning to look at the freezer where "Sleeping Beauty" was stored.

The freezer was filled with steam, and the original ice had melted into water, even boiling due to the high temperature.

"Why? What happened?" He stared at the freezer, bewildered.

Hong Tu stood at the door, leaning against the door frame, not caring whether he would be discovered.

There are no aliens in the freezer; what's inside is the shell of a human being possessed by aliens.

He tilted his head slightly, turning his gaze in another direction.

The thing at the foot of Kunlun Mountain seems to have stirred.

The inspection revealed that the freezer in the room was overheated due to high temperatures, causing the pipes and cables connected to the machine to break one by one, and even the freezer door was opened.

A large amount of boiling water flowed out of the freezer, and finally, someone that Daigo knew very well stepped out of the freezer.

"Lina!"

“This body is necessary for me.” Lina, or rather, a Desis alien, walked up to Daigo.

"What are you talking about?" Daigo had a bad feeling.

"Haha, what did you say?" the Desis galaxy inhabitant laughed, speaking in a mocking tone, "Because I've been frozen inside for twenty-four years. My original functions have ceased to work."

Daigo's premonition about "function" was confirmed: "Give Reina's body back to her! Why choose Reina?"

"Haha, this is my body now, isn't it great?" She stared at Daigo and slowly uttered his hidden identity, "Hero Warrior of Light."

"Why are you attacking Earth? Can't you just be friends with the people of Earth?" Daigo asked this question, a question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

Lina looked at him disdainfully: "Humans only hinder the functions of the Earth; the existence of humanity..."
