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

"A person on the verge of depravity has no right to comment on humanity like that."

This statement can be described as very righteous, and it is completely from the perspective of humanity.

Mu Ting looked at Hong Tu in surprise, not quite understanding his words, but knowing he was praising humans. Something about brilliance and other strange phrases.

Kosam looked grim, but Misaki, whom he was holding hostage, stared intently at Hong Tu.

If she hadn't been held hostage, she probably would have pounced on her, grabbed Hongtu, and shouted that she was a kindred spirit.

Suddenly, a beam of light flashed, and a huge red giant appeared next to the bomb, bending down to pick up the capsule bomb.

"Max!" Mu Ting exclaimed in surprise, excitedly patting Hong Tu's shoulder. "That's Ultraman Max, the alien who has always helped us."

Hong Tu looked up at the red giant of light with a strange expression. Sure enough, the light of this giant of light was somewhat similar to that of the four old guys and Mebius.

It seems I need to make contact with them.

Seeing Max's actions, Hong Tu turned to look at the alien in front of him: "The bomb is about to be taken away, aren't you going to try and steal it?"

The alien gave him a deep look, pushed Ruixi aside, ran a little further away, and stood still. Red light emanated from his arm guards, and his body was gradually enveloped by a whirlwind, eventually transforming into a giant crying-faced giant.

"Let's get away from here." Hong Tu helped Rui Xi up and planned to lead the two of them away from here.

Unexpectedly, Ruixi suddenly broke free from his grasp, ran a few steps, and moved closer to the two enormous beings: "Kosam! No! There's always a way! Let's live in peace! Just like Hongtu!"

Hong Tu wanted to pull her back, but suddenly his expression changed, and he turned around abruptly to look at the woods behind him.

However, there was only a grove of trees there, and the source of that feeling of being spied on was nowhere to be found.

The young man frowned. He had indeed felt someone watching him, and... he touched his chest, where he felt a strange flutter...

Who exactly is this person?

After a thorough search, he still found nothing. The young man temporarily suppressed his inexplicable excitement and turned his attention to the battle between the two enormous creatures.

That Ultraman named Max seems to be quite powerful.

The alien named Kosam heard Reese's words and, after a brief moment of hesitation, used this as an excuse to lull Max into a false sense of security, then knocked him away.

Max shielded the bomb and withstood all of his shelling.

But he didn't just sit there and take the beating. Once he found an opportunity, Max quickly left the bombardment zone.

Hong Tu was surprised by the speed his opponent displayed; it was even faster than Tiga's aerial form!

This guy is pretty strong.

Chapter 114 Comrades

This is a qualified soldier.

This is Hong Tu's assessment of Max. His fighting skills, combat prowess, and experience all demonstrate that he is a formidable warrior.

Moreover, this fighting style is somewhat similar to Seven's style, so they must have learned it from the same place.

He remembered it was called the Land of Light...

Hong Tu initially thought of the homeland of the Giants of Light that You Lian had mentioned, but quickly dismissed the idea.

They're not from the same world, they shouldn't be from the same place.

The battle between Max and Kosam continues.

Mu Ting initially wanted to provide assistance, but was blocked by Hong Tu.

The reason is that they are no match for that guy, who has more advanced technology and abilities. Rushing in would only hinder Max.

After a brief silence, Mu Ting looked at Hong Tu seriously and said, "But we can't do nothing. Max is here to help us, but that doesn't mean we have to rely on him."

We are comrades-in-arms!

After saying that, the young man ran towards the plane with great enthusiasm.

Hongtu had no choice but to follow suit.

“You didn’t actually need to come along,” Mu Ting said to Hong Tu, who had agreed to fasten her seatbelt behind her. “Besides, you can’t fly a plane…”

Hong Tu glanced at him helplessly: "Am I not a comrade-in-arms?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ting decisively shifted the focus: "That's right, we're comrades-in-arms too!"

His enthusiasm was ignited, and he didn't care that Hong Tu couldn't fly a plane, so what use was it for him to get on?

Does sitting on red tea help? Of course it does.

When the missiles launched by Mu Ting to support Max, along with the aircraft, were all suspended in mid-air by the enemy, Hong Tu's role became apparent.

"Hold on tight!"

The next moment, a black, transparent energy shield appeared around the plane, protecting it. The missiles were enveloped in black, mist-like energy, forcibly breaking through Kosam's psychic barrier and rushing to his side, where they were detonated one by one, blasting him back a few steps.

"Amazing!" This is already the umpteenth time Mu Ting has said "amazing" today.

Hong Tu smiled innocently, as if he hadn't released those terrifying energies.

Max noticed the terrifying dark energy and looked up at the plane in the sky.

On the plane, Mu Ting cheerfully greeted Max, fully noticing the meaningful expression on the face of the person in the back seat.

"Hello, Person of Light."

These were the words that echoed in Max's ears.

But after a brief moment of distraction, Max turned his attention back to Kosam on the other side.

He knew about Hong Tu's situation, but this was their first formal meeting. Undoubtedly, it wasn't a good time for a proper conversation.

Kosam glanced warily at the plane, especially at the people on board, which intensified his desire to seize the capsule as quickly as possible.

Max noticed his urgency, placed the bomb in his hand on a nearby hillside, and decided to get serious.

The two giants began to fight in close combat, so Mu Ting could no longer attack indiscriminately, lest he hit Max. Therefore, he could only fly his plane around in the air, looking for an opportunity to support Max.

With Hong Tu and Mu Ting no longer bothering him, Kosam got serious.

The two enormous beings were moving at incredible speeds, clashing in the mountains. The humans could not even see their battle clearly; they could only watch them disappear from one place and reappear in another, and hear the sounds of their fists and feet striking each other.

"Kosam! Stop fighting! I believe we can find a way for planets and civilizations to coexist! You'll understand!" Reese still didn't give up trying to persuade Kosam.

Her persuasion finally had an effect, and the two enormous beings temporarily separated, landing on either side and temporarily confronting each other. At this moment, Kosam was distracted and looked at Mizuki.

When Mizuki saved him, he wavered a little, but then he saw the airplane in the sky and the red tea in the back seat.

The belief that had just wavered became firm again.

"I don't regret saving you! I don't regret it! Even if you're a destroyer of civilization... I still don't regret it..." Mizuki thought her persuasion had worked and continued to shout, "Everyone, stop!"

But Kosam stopped listening altogether. No matter what Reishi said, he ignored it. Although he wavered for a moment, he finally made up his mind.

From the moment he saw Hong Tu, his desire to destroy the planet became stronger than ever before.

It must be destroyed, it must be destroyed along with that terrible darkness!

However, Max seized upon his momentary hesitation. As a civilization monitor, Max would show no mercy to civilization destroyers.

A cursor appeared above Max's head and slashed hard into Kosam's shoulder, severely injuring him.

"Well done!" Mu Ting took one hand off the control stick and made a victory gesture with his other fist.

Kosam's body could no longer hold on and he gradually shrank back into human form. Max stopped paying attention to him; the most important thing now was the bomb.

He picked up the bomb and flew away as if into the sky.

But the time for the bomb to explode was fast approaching, and during his flight, the bomb lit up with a red countdown.

Kossam lay on the ground, all the indicator lights on his arm guards lit up. The bomb was about to explode, and it was too late.

He suddenly thought of Mizuki. That Earth girl would probably perish along with this planet...

He thought of the girl's worried expression, which he had vaguely seen before he lost consciousness.

He was a sinner, a sinner unworthy of saving. He remembered the girl's smiling face when she asked him to live in peace with humanity on Earth, and silently apologized again.

However, he still did not deactivate the bomb.

That man… no, that monster, absolutely cannot live… so, I'm sorry…

Blue blood continued to flow from his body. His vision blurred as he approached death, and he vaguely saw the girl with a familiar worried expression walking to his side.

"I'm...sorry..." His voice was weak, and even when Mizuki got close to him, she couldn't hear him clearly.

His vision was blurry, and his attention was drawn to the girl, so he didn't notice that it wasn't just Ruixi who walked up to him, but also Hongtu.

Kosam was unaware that all the indicator lights on his arm guards had gone out, and black mist was slowly seeping out from them.

This is a technique that Hong Tu learned from Karen. It's a technique applicable to people like them, a technique that directly infuses energy into machinery, forcibly controlling mechanical creations in place of mechanical language.

It hadn't really served its purpose before, but it's proficient in this world.

The explosion command was forcibly cancelled, and the countdown for the capsule bomb was stopped. Max glanced at the bomb in his arms, then flew out of Earth, letting the bomb explode far away from the planet.

When Kaito arrived nearby, he saw Hongtu leaning against a tree, looking at Mizuki holding Kosam's hand, seemingly crying.

Upon seeing him arrive, Hong Tu nodded to him, indicating that the two should go to another place to talk.

Kaito glanced at Mizuki, but didn't disturb her. Instead, he followed behind her and left the place.

“Ultraman Max,” Hong Tu looked at Kaito, or rather, the Max within him, “let’s get to know each other formally.”

Kaito was startled, and his expression changed.

Max had anticipated this, as a life-sized transparent figure appeared beside him.

Even if Hong Tu didn't seek him out this time, he would still show up on his own, because the dark power emanating from Hong Tu was simply too intense.

“There is a vast darkness within you!” Max’s voice sounded very calm. He looked at Hong Tu, and if the other party made the slightest move, even if he didn’t have enough energy, he would take Kaito and leave this place immediately.

“There’s nothing I can do. Just like you are born light, I am born darkness.” Hong Tu shrugged, not intending to be hostile to the other party for the time being. “But I can assure you of one thing: I have no ill will toward the Earth or humanity.”

“…I’m willing to believe you.” Max stared at Red Tea. “But if you ever try to interfere with or destroy this planet, I will not let you off the hook.”

"I understand." Hong Tu nodded, quite satisfied with Max's attitude.

From the beginning, he was prepared for a fight. After all, Seven did just that last time.
