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

Because some phantoms have a tendency to absorb people's fears. He initially thought that these negative energies would coalesce into such a monster, so he preemptively devoured the fears before the phantoms could consume these energies, in order to prevent the monster from actually appearing.

Unexpectedly, the ring told him that the monster was real, a monster called the mirage monster Farodon. Perhaps the TPC accidentally discovered its phantom and created its image.

However, this monster is indeed approaching Earth! It has even released phantoms, blending into human activities to absorb the power of fear!

"Huan, are you sure that monster has come to Earth? Don't tell me it's just an illusion again." Hong Tu has been working on this for a long time.

It's hard to distinguish between this guy's phantom and real body. Even Hong Tu would need to go to the site to confirm whether it's the monster in real life.

So, in the past two weeks, he has traveled to most of Japan.

The ring lit up briefly, but I wasn't entirely sure.

Hong Tu sighed deeply. What else could she do? She'd run over and check. She'd promised to give the little shepherd the monster "preventing it from appearing," so she had to make sure it really wouldn't show up.

Hong Tu followed the roundabout all the way to a small park, where she saw Daigo and Munakata conducting their investigation.

"The GUTS team also discovered that the monster is approaching Earth?"

Daigo looked up as if sensing something and saw Hong Tu, his expression immediately changing. He shoved the instrument in his hand into Munakata's hands: "Commander, I'm going over there!"

After saying that, without waiting for Zong Fang to speak, she ran to Hong Tu's side.

Looking around guiltily, Da Gu pulled Hong Tu to a secluded spot: "Tu, what are you doing here?"

Hong Tu looked at him speechlessly: "You're here to find monsters, aren't you the same?"

"Are there really monsters?"

"Huh? What do you mean by being so surprised? You don't know?" Hong Tu looked at him in astonishment. "The monster in that video you showed is actually real. That thing is approaching Earth."

I've been tracking that guy for a long time.

"I see," Daigo nodded. "Wait, you just said the video we showed?"

Hong Tu carefully observed his expression and realized that the man genuinely seemed unaware: "It seems that your Victory Team doesn't know."

"What exactly happened?" Daigo had a bad feeling.

Hong Tu looked at him sympathetically: "Your TPC has an operation that involves projecting holographic images of monsters into this area and spreading rumors about monsters, intending to cause panic among humans."

I heard them say that they were constantly collecting data for an experiment.

The purpose of that experiment was to guide the actions of the masses when the monster appeared.

Their starting point was good, but they clearly went in the wrong direction.

The monster in the image they used was a real monster, and that creature had infiltrated their created image to absorb the power of fear.

This is probably the worst part; now, the monster is really about to appear.

"TPC," Daigo muttered in disbelief, "has it summoned a real monster?"

Hong Tu: "Your summary is very insightful."

Hongtu was in a relatively relaxed mood, but Dagu was not.

He was clearly angry: "Deliberately creating panic in a crowd, even if it's to guide people to safety, is not something that should be done!"

Hong Tu fanned the flames from the side: "That's right, that's exactly right. Moreover, they even summoned a real monster."

"I have to stop them!" Daigo said instinctively.

Hong Tu was speechless for a moment: "What can you do to stop it? Turn into Ultraman Tiga? You might as well think about how to deal with that monster before it appears."

"Oh, right." Daigo nodded in sudden realization. "Where is that monster?"

"If I had known I was still here, I would have known!" Hong Tu wanted nothing more than to punch him and bring him to his senses. Had Red King infected your intelligence?

Daigo realized his question was incredibly silly and could only smile sheepishly.

“I’ve given that monster to you,” Hong Tu said, patting Daigo on the shoulder. “I’ll deal with it before it actually appears on Earth. You can stay here and continue to spread panic.”

Before Daigu could even speak, Hongtu turned and left, giving him no chance to open his mouth.

What do you mean by continuing to spread panic here? Once he knows the truth, he won't continue doing this at all!

"Are there really monsters here?" A passerby approached Daigo after seeing Hongtu leave.

"No, no," Daigo denied instinctively.

"But your GUTS team was mobilized, how could there not be one? So, there must be a monster, right?"

"Uh..." Daigo didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a brief moment of astonishment, he turned and looked around. Everyone in the small park was subtly surrounding him and Zong Fang, their faces showing a kind of uneasy panic. But whether it was his imagination or not, he felt that there was also excitement mixed in with their panic.

Something feels off. The excitement must be just my imagination.

Two Victory Flying Swallows flew across the sky.

Daigo looked up, learned the truth, and could keenly sense that something was amiss when he looked at the investigation again.

Such a large-scale operation, without even any evidence, serves no purpose other than creating public panic.

Furthermore, the captain's tone seemed off when he issued the orders that morning.

Does the captain know the truth too?

Daigo turned his head and looked at Munakata, but ultimately said nothing.

He was willing to trust the captain.

The search continued into the night, and the rest of the Victory Team vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but out of trust in their captain, no one dared to openly object.

The two Flying Swallows were the first to return to base, while Daigo and Munakata were also on their way back in their car.

"Shall we continue tomorrow?" Munakata asked Captain Iruma, who remained at headquarters, from the passenger seat. "But..."

"Hold on a little longer," the captain said, his tone unusually tense and guilty. "I think if we search a little longer, we might find some clues."

The orders from above and the condemnation within her own heart were constantly battling within her. Captain Megumi herself did not realize that her tone was hesitant, filled with trepidation and unease.

Her unusual behavior did not escape Zong Fang's notice. Zong Fang pursed his lips, but ultimately chose to carry out the order: "I understand."

After saying that, he hung up the call, whether to tell Daigo beside him or to comfort himself, it was unclear whether he was saying, "The captain might be tired."

Daigo glanced at him, then quickly turned his head away, looking somewhat guilty out the car window.

As soon as he turned around, he realized something was wrong.

In the rearview mirror, he saw a monster staring at him from behind!

"Aaaaah!" the monster roared at him.

Daigo instinctively stepped on the brakes.

"What's wrong?" Zong Fang asked.

"There's a monster!" Daigo quickly opened the car door, got out, and turned to look behind him.

Zongfang was quick to act, but when the two of them came down, they only saw a peaceful scene.

"A monster?" Zong Fang looked around but didn't see any monsters.

Daigo frowned, but quickly relaxed: "I definitely saw it just now." He also saw the fleeting black light.

Judging from the looks of it, Tu was about to capture the monster. He still had faith in Hong Tu's fighting prowess.

Munakata and Daigo ultimately gained nothing and had to return to the base.

Hong Tu finally caught this guy.

"Ah ah woo!" Farruton was already very close to Earth. If it weren't for its innate ability, it would have been captured by human satellites long ago.

Hong Tu was able to catch up with the monsters only because of the ring's keen perception of them.

"Finally caught you." Hong Tu smiled maliciously, dark power emanating from his body and enveloping the area. "Let's see how you run this time."

Farruton's power principle is also very simple. One is to conceal his true form by refracting light, and the other is to use high temperature, atmosphere, and light to refract mirages, and he can also freely exchange positions with the mirages.

What he had to do was isolate this guy from Taiyuan.

Ha, go ahead and create a mirage in the universe for me. Even if it's just to hide the light, I'll block it out for you. Let's see where you can run now!

Chapter 77 Kirino in Action

Farruton became somewhat withdrawn. He felt he had encountered a terrifying demon, a demon specifically designed to afflict him!

Before I could even do anything, this devil blocked me from Earth and cut off my light.

It can only create illusions, it has absolutely no other abilities! Why are you bullying the monster like this!

"Ah ah woo"

"You can die now." Hong Tu raised her hand, and black energy gathered into a blade of light, instantly slicing through the monster's body and ending its life.

The dark ring glowed faintly, and the monster's corpse gradually turned into red particles of light, eventually coalescing into a card.

"I wonder if I can create other illusions, like a mirage." Hong Tu put away the card, and his figure disappeared along with the surrounding darkness.

However, when he returned to Earth, he discovered a surprise.

There is a holographic image of a Faroton near his home.

"I forgot all about TPC, which still needs to be resolved."

Hong Tu pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and browsed the news. Sure enough, the same images had appeared all over the world.

Is that guy at TPC crazy? Is he trying to create global panic?

But with such a big fuss, he probably won't need to intervene. Mr. Onoda should have already gathered the evidence. It's just unknown whether he will release it directly to the public or file a complaint with TPC.

If they were to announce it directly, TPC's credibility would be severely damaged. As a long-time fan of GUTS, Mr. Onoda wouldn't do that if he had any sense.

However, given the widespread panic it has caused, Director Sawai will likely not ignore it and will resolve the matter without Mr. Onoda's complaint.

Human problems should be solved by humans themselves.

Hong Tu walked back calmly, seemingly unconcerned, a stark contrast to the panicked crowd around him.

The matter was resolved quickly.

Just as Hong Tu had predicted, the monster's image appeared, but the GUTS team didn't move out, probably because they knew the truth.
