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

Tiga nodded emphatically to the crowd, and with a flash of the crystal on his forehead, he transformed into his powerful red form and assumed a fighting stance.

After silently apologizing to Hong Tu in his heart, Tiga rushed towards Red King.

"Tsk!" Seeing Tiga full of energy, Hong Tu turned his head and noticed that Qi Jiela was about to lose his life, so he walked towards Qi Jiela.

Never mind, at most Red King will just get a beating, it's nothing serious.

He was still very unhappy, but he couldn't defeat Tiga right away. Tiga needed to maintain his undefeated record so that people would have hope for him and not despair in the face of the final darkness.

"Fine, I'll let you go for now. It's not the first time anyway." Hong Tu took out the Dark Ring and aimed it at Qi Jiela, who had stopped struggling and was slowly falling down.

Qi Jiela's still-burning body transformed into red particles of light, passing through the ring and eventually condensing into a card, which Hong Tu held in his hand.

He turned to look at the battlefield on Red King's side, and Red King was indeed being overwhelmed by Tiga.

The young man waved his hand from afar, and Red King roared at Tiga unwillingly, turning into red light particles and disappearing. Pandon also disappeared along with him.

"...We won!" People cheered, carelessly tossing their withered garlands on the ground as they celebrated Ultraman Tiga's victory.

“Keep this hope and joy,” Hong Tu said, standing at a distance. “If humanity wants to continue, it must be filled with gratitude and hope, and let its light shine…”

The young man slowly disappeared into the darkness, unnoticed by anyone except for that fleeting glimpse before Tiga took to the sky.

……

Kirino and the others finally entered R'lyeh and, guided by Yuzare, began to explore this ancient ruin.

"Thirty million years ago, through our research on the power of giants, we created artificial light, thereby gaining control over the power of giants."

However, the giants that humans transformed into were ultimately different from real giants.

Having great power without the corresponding character will only make one a puppet of that power.

Therefore, some giants were seduced by the rulers of darkness and corrupted into dark giants.

The battle between giants began. It was a war caused by human selfishness that brought our civilization to the brink of destruction, and left the Earth scarred by the war.

It was at that moment that Qijiela opened, like the prelude to Earth's decision to destroy humanity.

Most of humanity chose to escape the reality of constant war, sinking into a world of dreams. People began to reject the existence of giants, and the true Giant of Light thus left Earth...

Only a few resisted the allure of the pollen, relying on the barrier here to avoid falling into the dream world. "Yu Lian told them the story of this place, "Afterwards... the Dark Ruler absorbed the accumulated darkness, completely transforming into a dark aggregate on Earth, and began to cleanse humanity."

A segment of conscious humans escaped Earth and wandered the universe in search of a new place to live.

The rest met their final demise on Earth…

"What about Tiga? Is Tiga also a man-made giant?" Kirino pushed up his glasses. In the past he had seen, Tiga was a dark giant.

“No, Tiga is different.” Yuzare shook her head. “No one knows where he came from. He is different from other giants of light; he is both light and darkness…”

He wasn't seduced by the ruler of darkness to become a dark giant; he became a dark giant because of humanity.

Yu Lian spoke these details frankly, without hiding much.

"So... how did you persuade Ultraman Tiga back then?"

Masaki was unaware of this history, but while he appeared calm on the surface, he was secretly listening intently.

“I didn’t try to persuade him,” You Lian shook her head, denying it.

"I just told him that in the future, humanity will perish, and Camilla and the others will die too."

Becoming light was his own choice.

He wanted Camilla and the others to leave with him, not wanting them to become mere puppets of the Dark Ruler and ultimately meet their demise...

But Camilla refused.

Yu Lian walked to a large door and looked at it: "In the end, Tiga chose to absorb the power of the Dark Ruler from them and sealed them here."

Consider Chapter 94 as the author's note.

e. The author noticed that many people dislike the character Kirino, so here's a brief explanation.

First of all, Kirino Makio is not an original character created by the author; rather, he is a character who existed from the beginning, a psychic, and also a candidate for the Light of Ultraman Tiga. However, due to his childhood experiences, he lost faith in humanity, which led him to give up.

Furthermore, although the little shepherd can see many things, he cannot see the red tea clearly. Just as ordinary people would be afraid of superhumans like him, it is not impossible for him to be afraid of the protagonist.

It's said that Hong Tu raised him for ten years, so there must have been some affection between them. However, the protagonist's personality itself has issues, and I don't know how many people noticed that. Although the protagonist raised Kirino for ten years, it's clear from their interactions that he essentially let him run wild. Whether Kirino was happy, sad, or angry, Hong Tu always tolerated him without question.

Can you maintain a normal relationship with someone who tolerates everything, never asking what you need or what you like, only caring about their own happiness, and offering no explanation unless you ask?

Interacting with such an inhuman being would scare any ordinary person, making them doubt whether he truly cares about them.

Kirino's perspective is different from ours as readers, especially since Hong Tu is darkness, a psychopath! -- A psychopath who might have an attack at any time and destroy the world!!! We know the protagonist won't turn evil, but he doesn't.

Furthermore, Kirino didn't actually do anything. He said he was going to carry out the plan, but did he specifically target the protagonist? No, even the plan to devour the protagonist was secretly carried out by Masaki Keigo himself.

He said he wanted to prevent another final darkness, but in reality, he just wanted to prevent Hong Tu from directly confronting Gatanothor and then going up to fight him.

You might say Hong Tu cares about the young shepherd, but he definitely used those two kids as bait.

In the episode with the cherry blossoms, he deliberately acted like he cared a lot about the two kids, and although he put in a precaution, he still exposed them to aliens.

He could have avoided it all in advance, but he never did!

The young shepherd could have lived a normal life, but Hong Tu forced him to reveal his superpowers, making him feared by those people.

This is all his fault.

The little shepherd didn't do anything; he just didn't want Red Tea to devour Gatanothor and go completely berserk.

The so-called plan was merely to prevent him from directly confronting Gatanothor.

Mami saw through Hong Tu's true nature, which is why she always called him Mr. Hong.

I've tried my best to explain. If you still hate me, then I really can't help it.

Kirino only appeared in the Ultraman Tiga world, and we'll never see him again QAQ. Isn't Maki a tsundere?

Chapter 95 Accident

"You mean, three dark giants are sealed inside?" Masaki asked, holding his instruments and probing the giant door, seemingly intending to open it.

“Once this door is opened, the three dark giants sealed inside will awaken,” Yuzare saw through Masaki’s intention and stated the consequences directly. “Once they awaken, they will alarm the Dark Ruler.”

Masaki stopped what he was doing, his face cold, and even took a few steps away from the door: "Where are those remaining instruments? Let's find them as soon as possible and leave immediately."

He thought R'lyeh would be a little safer, after all, it was an ancient holy land, but he never expected it to hide such a terrible crisis.

Yu Lian ignored his cold face and led the two of them directly into the research lab.

This is a huge, pure white room, filled with all sorts of high-tech instruments. Although it's unclear whether they can be used yet, just looking at the room is enough to be awe-inspiring.

"This is... technology left over from the ancient times?" Masaki couldn't help but step forward, curiously touching and looking at this and that, revealing his true nature as a scientist.

These technologies differ from those of today; they appear not to be rechargeable but rather utilize the power of light directly. Each machine is seamlessly integrated and aesthetically pleasing.

"Don't you use electricity? What's the principle behind using light directly? Is it the heat of light, or light itself? And..." Masaki kept asking questions, and Kirino could keep up at first, but later it was like listening to gibberish.

You Lian became even more indifferent. She maintained a mysterious demeanor, pretending not to hear any of his questions, and even interrupted him: "Those two rooms contain light particle converters."

You can just move out. I need to do some things.

Masaki's question went unanswered, but he didn't care. Instead, he pondered how to bring more back to study. Once he mastered these technologies, human civilization would definitely take another giant leap forward.

So he called to Kirino, and the two of them first moved the two light particle converters out and into the submarine. Finally, they picked and chose to move some smaller instruments as well.

Looking at most of the remaining instruments, Zheng Mu felt a pang of heartache. If the submarine had enough capacity, he really wanted to move more; who knew when he would be able to come back next time.

However, Masaki remained rational and restrained himself from paying too much attention to the instruments. Instead, he looked at Yuzare and asked her what she was looking at.

When he and Kirino found Yuzare, they saw her standing in front of the gate that sealed the dark giant, her arms raised high, as if she were performing some kind of ritual.

Pure white light emanated from her, gradually spreading along the patterns on the door until it covered the entire door.

The light flashed and disappeared, like breathing, and it took a long time for it to completely fade away.

Yu Lian lowered her arm, turned around and looked at them: "Let's go. We need to leave."

The three of them achieved their goals and returned to the submarine together, where they began to slowly ascend.

The submarine gradually floated out of the deep sea, eventually emerging from that chilling dark realm.

After the submarine left, a flat, huge, disc-shaped spaceship gradually emerged from the churning darkness.

Only after confirming that they had left did they approach R'lyeh.

The light emanating from R'lyeh's surface blocked the spaceship from entering. After several attempts, the spaceship finally gave up, but instead of leaving, it slowly floated beside R'lyeh.

"Red Tea... Tiga... Earth..." Inside the disc was a woman with a crazed expression. She looked out the window at R'lyeh, her face filled with hatred and madness. "I want you to feel the despair of us Kirieloids! Our exterminated race, all our resentment, all our anger!"

She was the only survivor of the Kirieloids, no, she was the only surviving ghost, a ghost that could only move by possessing a human body.

That time, Hong Tu commanded the monsters to attack the Kirieloid's stronghold, wiping out almost all of the Kirieloids in one fell swoop. Even after that, she continued to hunt down the remaining Kirieloids. Only she escaped being discovered by relying on the Kirieloid God Gate, which was their race's means of survival.

But she was unwilling to accept it. After 30 million years of hard work, her race finally had the capital to occupy the earth. Soon, they would be able to live openly under the sun. Unexpectedly, their ally turned against them, not only killing the warriors they had painstakingly created, but also wiping out their entire race.

Every day, the cries of her people echoed in her ears. Every night, she dreamed of her people being trapped in a cage called the base, being eaten or killed one by one by monsters.

Only she managed to hide inside the Gate of the Gods of Kirieloid, thus escaping the demon's detection and surviving.

No, she didn't survive. She's already dead. What's here now is just a vengeful spirit, consumed by hatred and existing solely for revenge.

She can't fight that demon alone, so she'll drag him down with her!

The woman laughed wildly and finally pressed a red button.

"Gate of the Gods, Kirieloid! Open! Release the resentment and bitterness of our people's annihilation! Let the darkness of revenge spread throughout the world! Let our enemies..."

Let's experience the pain of hell together! Hahahahahaha~

The woman laughed wildly, but tears streamed down her face.

The edge of the spaceship's disc began to loosen, and seawater gradually seeped in through the gap, separating the upper and lower parts of the spaceship and allowing seawater to flood into it.

To avoid being detected, she had to hide inside the door. Even when she came out, she dared not stray too far from the door, nor did she dare to use the door's spatial power to escape, lest the spatial fluctuations be detected. Even now, when she needed to open the door, she had to sacrifice herself to open it quickly in order to prevent the door from opening too slowly.

Ignoring the pressure of the water rushing in, the woman, tears streaming down her face and laughing wildly, lunged at the massive gate that was completely exposed in the seawater.
