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

Is she being coquettish?!

Mami's expression was practically cracking. It was truly unimaginable that the seemingly aloof Mufu would act so coquettishly.

Asami imagined that scene and couldn't help but shudder. Maki would never have that kind of expression!

It's probably Mu Fu who made the request, and Mr. Hong just filled in the blanks.

Mami's guess was completely correct. This shows just how deeply ingrained Hongtu's image as a doting father is; everyone knows how thick her filter is.

The two sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while before their attention was drawn to a news story.

"A giant shark fin has appeared in the city center, and the Victory Team is currently hunting it down."

"A shark swimming in the land?" Mami stared in surprise at the huge shark fin protruding from the television screen.

Hong Tu tilted her head: "It's probably some new monster. But it feels a bit strange."

He couldn't see much through the television, but he instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

"Is this what Brother Mu Fu was talking about?" Mami looked thoughtfully at the monster on TV. "What a terrifying monster."

On television, the shark fin rampages through the city, destroying all obstacles in its path.

Because it happened so suddenly, people could only do their best to run away from the direction it was traveling.

In just ten minutes, the monster used a single fin to carve a long line through the city, almost dividing it in two.

Hong Tu remained expressionless, as she no longer intended to get involved, thus displaying an attitude of indifference.

Mami's attention was focused on the TV, so she didn't notice the nonchalant expression on the face of the person sitting next to her.

The Victory Team piloted their planes, streaking across the sky, occasionally firing a shot at the fin when no one was around.

It's unclear whether the attack worked or the monster had already achieved its goal. After rushing out of the city, the giant fins stopped.

Daigo was piloting the plane, hovering above the fin, seemingly assessing the situation, when unexpectedly, an accident occurred.

A string of white halos lit up on the fish fins, enveloping the Flying Swallow No. 1 piloted by Daigo.

Immediately afterwards, the plane came to a standstill in mid-air. After a few seconds, the plane began to sway and shake, looking as if it was about to crash.

Mami clutched the pillow she was holding tightly with worry, watching the airplane on TV with nervousness.

"The Victory Team's plane seems to be out of control!" The host, broadcasting live, was also very worried as he saw the plane about to crash.

Fortunately, another plane attacked the monster, seemingly breaking the energy wave emitted by the monster, and the Flying Swallow No. 1 finally stabilized its fuselage and did not crash.

Asami, watching TV, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Hong Tu was slightly taken aback. Was that just an illusion?

He just noticed that the light emitted by the fish fin seemed very familiar, but it felt like artificial light.

Hong Tu frowned, perhaps because of the television broadcast that he had this illusion.

Chapter 79 Game

The shark's fins retracted into the ground, forcing the Victory Team to land and investigate.

Taking advantage of the investigation, Daigo temporarily left the group because he saw a familiar person standing in the distance, watching him.

Noticing Daigo approaching, Kirino turned and went around a corner.

He deliberately maintained a distance between them that Daigo wouldn't lose track of, but also wouldn't be able to catch up immediately.

Finally, Kirino led Daigo into a small park.

Because of Gaiozak's appearance, people in the vicinity went to take refuge, and the park became very deserted.

When Daigo caught up with Kirino, he saw Kirino sitting on a park bench, staring blankly at a big tree.

Daigo hesitated for a moment, then sat down on the other side of the bench.

“You’re a very nice person,” Kirino suddenly said, repeating what he had said before, “but I still hate you.”

Daigo turned to look at him, but didn't say anything.

Kirino gazed at the tree, his thoughts drifting away.

As a child, under that tree, he was bullied by other children his age who called him a "liar," a "monster," and a "demon."

That was also the time he wanted to prove himself. He wanted to prove to them that he hadn't lied and that he wasn't a monster.

So, he decided to catch a real monster.

Kirino didn't need his answer: "It's probably jealousy. We're clearly the same kind of people, but you receive people's admiration and praise. As for me, they're afraid, or they're greedy."

Because of Hong Tu's high-profile behavior, for reasons he couldn't quite explain, he exposed his abilities and brought himself into the sights of certain people. This was intended to help conceal Hong Tu's true identity.

After that, those who knew his abilities either feared his approach and were unwilling to let him know the unspeakable secrets in their hearts.

Or perhaps they are attracted to his abilities and want to know more.

If it weren't for red tea

“No, they weren’t praising me!” Daigo’s rebuttal interrupted his recollection.

Unlike Kirino, Daigo always believed that people praised Tiga, but he never thought of himself as Tiga; he was just lucky to have obtained Tiga's power.

Kirino didn't care about his rebuttal: "The rules of the game are very simple."

Without using Tiga's power, I want you to deal with Georzak by yourself!

Of course, if you can't follow the rules of the game, then you lose, and I will reveal your identity to the public as the victor.

You wouldn't want them to discover your identity, would you?

"Georgezak!" Daigo's focus wasn't on whether he could defeat the monster, but on the monster itself. "You mean that monster from just now?"

"Is your focus a bit off? Is that the point? The point is, you can't transform into Ultraman!"

Kirino decided not to argue with him anymore, as saying more would only make things worse: "That's how the game is."

After saying that, he turned around decisively and prepared to leave.

Daigo stopped him: "Why, why do you have to do this? Since we all have the ability, why don't we unite and fight the monster together?"

"Clearly, clearly," we are all human beings, and we all have the ability to help humanity.

"I'm not like you." Kirino said this and left without looking back.

Daigo watched his departing figure, remained silent for a long time, then raised his hand to touch the Spark Lens in his arms, his expression inscrutable.

Kirino went directly to an underground laboratory and met his partner.

"You've arrived." Masaki Keigo glanced at him, then turned back to continue operating the computer in his hands.

"You'd better not do anything unnecessary," Kirino warned him. He couldn't possibly hide the other man's subtle actions from him.

"Unnecessary? Ha, I never do anything unnecessary." Masaki sneered, not thinking there was anything wrong with what he did. "You really think you can save humanity with Tiga? Don't be ridiculous. Thirty million years ago, he abandoned humanity. This time, he might not save us either."

Kirino frowned but remained silent.

"Didn't you see that too?" Masaki continued, "He simply doesn't want to use Tiga's power to interfere too much with humanity."

Only by relying on ourselves can we save humanity.

The power he was unwilling to use, I will use; the responsibilities he was unwilling to bear, I will bear!

After a long silence, Kirino finally spoke: "He may not necessarily abandon humanity."

"Perhaps," Masaki said noncommittally. He didn't intend to place his hopes on Daigo; he wanted to take control of the key to success or failure in his own hands.

He turned around and looked at the two enormous stone statues behind him. The destruction of the ancient era thirty million years ago must never be repeated.

Kirino gave him a deep look, decided not to argue with him anymore, and planned to leave.

"What do you plan to do about that Nag?" Masaki asked loudly. "You know that darkness is the most uncontrollable thing. Even you can hardly guarantee that he won't be controlled by it!"

Kirino's tone was somewhat unpleasant: "This has nothing to do with you."

Watching his departing figure, Masaki let out a cold laugh.

Kirino may think he has hidden Nag's identity very well, but that's not the case.

That person didn't bother to hide it at all. Although they put on a show of it, anyone with even a little knowledge of the person could easily deduce their identity.

No, he shouldn't have called it human; it was a monster.

But he knew that Neg was on the side of humanity, and Masaki guessed it was because of Kirino.

But the essence of darkness cannot be obscured by that little bit of emotion.

He will inevitably be drawn to the Dark Ruler; either he will devour it, or it will devour him.

He didn't think Nagg would succeed.

That's the darkness that has existed on Earth since ancient times. How could someone who has only just appeared possibly be a match for the ruler of darkness? No matter how many monsters he commands, it won't make a difference.

In fact, they will only be devoured by the other party.

Therefore, we must take down Nigg before the final battle!

As for Kirino? Masaki didn't care.

Perhaps because they were too close, Kirino could only see the most dangerous aspect of Negu, while ignoring Tai and not really trusting him.

He feared Nag's true nature, and even feared Nag's power because he couldn't see through him.

He himself did not realize that he feared Nag just as ordinary people feared him.

Masaki looked at his hands, clenching them into fists, as if he could foresee the scene after his plan succeeded.

If we could convert Nag's power into light, we might gain even greater power.

Masaki then turned his gaze to the huge stone statue behind him, revealing a carefree smile.

The abilities that Tiga possesses, he too will possess when he transforms into Tiga. If he obtains the medium through which Daigo transforms into Tiga, he can transform into a giant and transform Negu's darkness into light.
