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

Rather than challenging human notions, Torregia was attempting to overturn the entire universe's concept of "good and evil."

Well, this is not surprising to Hong Tu. She uses her luminous body to seal away evil, and even retains her own light in this situation.

That's really something.

This "game" is Torregia's first real action.

All those harsh words directed at the Land of Light and the battles against the new generation of Ultraman were preparations for this moment.

"What a pity." Hong Tu sighed softly, though it was unclear what she was lamenting.

The only one who heard his regret, the dark ring, timely expressed his doubt: "?" What's so regrettable?

“Torregia is indeed interesting, but he has limited himself.” Hong Tu put down her phone, went back to her room, opened the closet, and changed her clothes. “If you want to prove your ideas, why insist on denying others?”

"The world is vast, and eras change. As life forms develop thoughts, they naturally fight for survival, giving rise to the mainstream ideology of 'the struggle between light and darkness.' But this doesn't mean that this ideology is absolutely correct, nor does it mean that all life forms share this understanding. Tregear is an exception, as is Lugiel, who doesn't care about light or darkness but only pursues eternity, even the initial Chaos Virus, and even Emperor, who once wanted to plunge the Land of Light into eternal night, was an exception. They don't care about light and darkness, nor about justice and evil; they simply follow their own beliefs."

The ancient darkness spoke of the truth it had witnessed over countless millennia: "But whether it was those failures or Tregear, they were all too arrogant. It is absolutely wrong to deny other ideas outright, and to harbor the idea of ​​'overthrowing the world' while limiting one's vision to a corner, trying to prove one's own correctness by destroying 'others' ideas,' is quite foolish. The mainstream is mainstream precisely because of the vast majority of verifiable facts accumulated over a long period of time. To try to overthrow it by one's own power is tantamount to overthrowing life itself."

After a pause, Hong Tu's lips curled into a smile: "Besides, isn't the Empire the best proof?"

In fact, the Empire was the one that truly overturned the notion that "darkness is evil"!

But Torregia was probably so focused on the Land of Light that he didn't even think about this place.

While Toregia is powerful and adept at manipulation, some things cannot be proven overnight.

The "mainstream ideology" has undergone a long period of refinement and has become the universally recognized "justice and evil." Therefore, it is natural that those who "attempt to subvert" will also need a long time to resist it.

The Empire has done a good job in this regard so far, which is why Toregia chose to come to the Empire and asked Hongtu about it many times.

However, he probably didn't even realize this himself. Otherwise, why would a powerful demon god need to bow down to others, and even knowing that he would be targeted, he still delivered himself to their doorstep.

“But this kind of ‘rebellion against the world alone’ is still pretty cool.” Hong Tu changed her clothes, hung up the Dark Ring, and pushed open the door.

"Let's go check out his game."

……

Humans initially did not believe the video was authentic, or more accurately, they did not believe it was the astronaut's revenge.

The space station was destroyed a month ago, and the astronauts inside have been declared dead, with their remains unable to be recovered.

Humanity's exploration of the universe is still in its early stages, and we lack the capacity to retrieve the remains of the two victims from areas littered with cosmic debris. Therefore, we have allowed them to drift freely in space.

Therefore, it is completely impossible for someone to return to Earth alive and clamor for revenge, unless an alien intervenes in the process.

However, most people now believe that aliens harbor ill intentions towards Earth and would not do such a thing.

However, the veracity of the claim that "the space station was destroyed by a rocket" has attracted the interest of a large number of busybodies.

So a bunch of reporters had been waiting outside the Space Technology Research Institute for a long time, hoping to catch the president, who was suspected of being the "culprit".

This is big news. As long as they find even a little bit of evidence, it will cause a huge public outcry and could even lead to accusations of bias or cover-up by certain high-ranking officials. In any case, it will attract readers' attention.

The president wasn't entirely unprepared; instead of seeking official assistance, he turned to Egis for protection, perhaps recommended by the Foreign Affairs and Unknown Department.

Muneya Homare and Kudo Yuuki escorted the president one after the other as they walked downstairs. As soon as they came down, a group of reporters swarmed over and blocked them at the bottom of the stairs.

People with long lenses and short cannons tried to bypass the two "bodyguards" and ask the president questions.

The questions asked were quite consistent: whether he was really involved in the space station explosion.

Faced with these questions, the president, who always cared about his image, subconsciously straightened his collar and revealed his usual "perfect smile".

But before he could speak, a sudden interruption drew everyone's attention.

"You murderer!"

Everyone was drawn to this sentence and turned to look, where they saw a face that seemed somewhat familiar.

This is……

"It's that astronaut!" someone shouted, and the group of reporters quickly recognized the face, immediately shifting their focus to the man in the blue astronaut training suit.

At the same time, Homare Muneya and Yuuki Kudo, who also recognized the face, received a communication from Kana.

"There are no signs of forgery in that video; it's really Kujo Renjin, the astronaut who had the accident!"

In other words, there was no fabrication or slander; the astronauts who actually experienced the accident returned to Earth from space with the intention of seeking revenge!

The two were taken aback, and then they saw that the astronaut had taken out an unknown weapon of unknown construction and pointed it at the crowd, or rather, at the person behind the group of reporters... the culprit.

Today's mini-drama:

Author's Note: This chapter!!! I feel like I've been elevated!!!

Hong Tu: ...What kind of sublimation?

Author's comment: A sublimation of artistic realm!

Hong Tu: Wake up, are you still suffering from chuunibyou?

Author: ...Will you write about me once you've fully recovered?

Hong Tu: ...Hmm, that makes sense.

Chapter 1367 The Modified Galactron

Chapter 1367 The Modified Galactron

Reporters have a keen sense of smell.

Upon seeing him point his gun at them, the group of reporters immediately realized the danger and shoved each other as they fled the scene.

In the end, only Muneyoshi, Kudo Yuuki, the president they had to protect, and Kujo Rento remained.

No, actually there are other people involved.

Upstairs, unnoticed by them, Torregia, in human form, looked down at the scene below.

With one hand behind his back and the other gesturing an invitation, he said, "The revenge is about to begin."

Then he made a gun gesture with his hand and made a "bang" sound as he fired at the three people below.

Of course, this is just a gesture; he won't interrupt this interesting revenge.

……

At this moment, Hong Tu appeared in the universe.

He flew straight over the area littered with various metal debris and landed lightly on a larger piece of wreckage.

He tilted his head slightly and saw a corpse wearing a spacesuit.

It was Kujo Renjin's body; yes, it was a corpse that had been dead for a month.

Even Tregear cannot resurrect a dead person, so what appeared before them was merely the consciousness of Kujo Rento.

Due to the intervention of a powerful force, a portion of the consciousness that had been preserved due to excessive resentment unexpectedly materialized and fell to Earth like a wandering soul, driven by intense emotions to seek revenge.

This is Torregia's script.

He is not simply evil; he just wants people to make choices, wants to prove that there is no distinction between good and evil, and wants humanity to become monsters in hatred.

So why target humans specifically?

Hong Tu's thoughts were somewhat rambling, but her hands moved quickly.

He stepped over the body and began searching for the next one.

The astronauts who died were a couple. The husband's resentment summoned an "evil demon." But what about his wife?

I wonder how much "longing" will remain after a month has passed.

He quickly found the female astronaut's remains, but Hong Tu soon frowned.

Is this... being late?

He glanced uncertainly at the mangled body, whose spacesuit was torn to shreds, and a dark golden light began to appear in his eyes.

But the next second, he gave up using the power of time and looked around thoughtfully.

All that can be seen is the vast universe and the brilliance of distant stars, along with space debris or broken meteorites drifting around the Earth.

But he still vaguely sensed a glimmer of light, though it was so faint that he couldn't quite pinpoint it.

"A little mouse beat me to it?" He looked around, searching for the source of the aura. "Won't you come out and talk?"

But the other party obviously wouldn't show up at this time; instead, they became more vigilant and hid themselves even better.

This is very interesting. Is it to protect that faint human thought?

I feel like my reputation has been severely tarnished by the Land of Light, and thinking back to Taiga's previous attitude... heh.

Darkness began to surge around him, still clearly visible even in the pitch-black universe.

Just as this darkness was stirring and about to engulf the surroundings, Hong Tu withdrew it.

I almost forgot what he came here for... This little guy is in a very dangerous state right now; he could be corrupted by darkness if we're not careful.

...I always have a feeling that the Land of Light will come after me someday.

So he could only glance at it before ultimately choosing to leave.

Oh well, Torregia's plan is doomed to fail anyway.

……

When Hong Tu found Toregia, he was sitting in the building's conference room, holding a tray with popcorn and cola on it.

It was as if he were in a movie theater, not a huge conference room.

His vision could penetrate the walls and see the battle outside, which was quite an interesting spectacle for him.

Hong Tu suddenly appeared in the seat next to him: "Where did you get the popcorn?"

Toregia popped a piece into his mouth: "How are the preparations going, Your Majesty?"

“Someone beat me to it,” Hong Tu said, raising her hand to reveal a can of beverage and a bag of snacks. “But you’re going to lose.”
