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

An elderly man: "???" Let me finish! I just saw that legendary "demon"!!!

A certain "demon" in the village: "Ah, here it comes."

Hong Tu sat on a tree, holding a piece of dried meat in his hand. Because he was sitting high up, he could clearly see a black car slowly driving into the village.

On that seemingly unremarkable car, various lights intertwined, making it appear as if it were illuminated by multiple lights, making it stand out excessively in his eyes.

As the black car approached, the Earth's energy that had been lingering around him became even more active, pulsating and leaping around him as if it were quite pleased.

“It’s strange that Toregia didn’t come,” Hong Tu said, leaning back and using her leg strength to support herself as she swayed upside down on the tree branch. “I thought he would come too.”

Then he spread his legs and fell downwards with gravity, landing safely with a light flip: "Never mind, let's go take a look first."

……

Kudo Yuuki and the others drove the black car into the village and parked it at the village entrance.

After getting off the bus, the four people subconsciously looked around at this secluded village.

The villagers greeted them politely, and Kudo Yuuki and Muneya Yoshiyuki instinctively bowed in return.

Just like with the red tea, the villagers didn't have any further interaction with them besides greeting them. They were neither curious nor wary, as if they were acquaintances saying hello.

This overly friendly attitude surprised Homare Muneya and Yuuki Kudo, who subconsciously felt that this was an extremely harmless place.

"It doesn't feel quite like what I imagined," Kudo Yuuki said subconsciously.

When they arrived, the "producer" in a suit told them about the legends of the village, mentioning that there used to be "demons" and "human sacrifices" there.

Although neither of Igis nor Igis initially believed it, they imagined the village to be a desolate or eerie place.

But right now, this place... is clearly very peaceful.

Chapter 1382 Nine-Headed Stream Village

Chapter 1382 Nine-Headed Stream Village

Kudo Yuuki and Muneya Homare had completely stopped believing the rumors about "demons" or "human sacrifices," since the village looked exactly the opposite of the legends the producer had told them.

The producer standing nearby told them what he knew: "Today is a special day for this village."

"Are there any events?" Kudo Yuuki asked instinctively.

The producer approached him and said in a low voice, "Lord Akame will appear."

"Lord Akame?"

……

Nine-Headed Stream Village in Akame Mountain is a legendary village from ancient times.

Legend has it that long ago, on a day of total solar eclipse, a demon descended from the sky and came to this village. The demon brought many disasters, but the villagers of Jiutouliu Village received the demon's protection through sacrifices, making this scourge of the world the village's guardian deity.

To appease the demon, the villagers sacrificed travelers to it. Because of the travelers' repeated disappearances, no one dared to come anymore, so the villagers had no choice but to offer up their own people to the demon, and eventually the village became deserted.

However, there are also rumors that the resentment of those "sacrifices" lingers in the village, still swirling around and cursing any outsider who tries to enter.

The exact time when this legend was passed down is unknown, but it is undeniable that since the legend appeared, no outsiders have ever set foot on this mountain or in the village within it, and the truth or falsehood of the legend has never been verified.

To this day, the village has disappeared from the map, leaving only a desolate mountain that people subconsciously ignore.

……

"Today is the day of the total solar eclipse, so the villagers will be holding a priestly ceremony. We're going to be broadcasting live from this village," the producer said quietly, adjusting his shoulder bag.

Muneya Yu, standing to the side, curled the corner of his mouth and said disdainfully, "I think that so-called demon just wants a sacrifice."

His words were utterly merciless, and the villagers passing by immediately stopped in their tracks and turned to look at him in unison.

Their faces bore identical stiff smiles, which made their movements appear both strange and awkward.

The four were startled by this bizarre scene, and Kudo Yuuki instinctively took a step back: "You should watch your words!"

Talking about someone else's guardian spirit on their own turf is just asking for trouble!

Muneya Yoshiya realized he had spoken out of turn and silently shut his mouth.

……

Kudo Yuuki and his group arrived at the village, while on the other side, Hong Tu also discovered two other guys who did not belong to the village.

These are two aliens dressed in black robes, disguised as priests. These two must have been in this village for quite some time, but it's unclear when they left this morning and only returned now, thus missing the time when Hong Tu arrives.

These two aliens had only arrived a little earlier than Kudo Yuuki and the others, and now the group was quite naturally moving towards the center of the village.

Of course, they hadn't gotten close to the actual ancestral hall yet; they had only stopped outside a mansion near the center of the village.

This place was originally supposed to be the village chief's residence, but it has been converted into a shrine.

Many villagers had already gathered here, their faces bearing fake smiles. They mechanically walked into the shrine, then knelt down in neat rows, waiting for something.

The two "priests" watched outside the shrine for a while, and only after confirming that the villagers were about to begin their priestly activities did they go around to the back of the shrine.

They had just left when Hong Tu appeared outside the door.

He looked around the shrine rather casually, then followed the villagers inside and found a corner to sit down.

After waiting for about half a minute, Hong Tu, who had lost patience, pulled a game console from the shadows and started playing games after putting on headphones.

The shrine was already dark inside, and even the windows were tightly covered, with only a faint candlelight barely illuminating the main hall.

So when Hong Tu crouched down in the corner, he didn't even need to use any power to hide himself. Even the two aliens secretly spying backstage didn't notice his presence.

After waiting patiently for a while and confirming that the villagers were not acting strangely, the two aliens walked from the back hall to the front hall. They were wearing black robes and walked through the hall where the villagers were kneeling to the front. At this moment, there were three villagers who were obviously dressed better and were sitting there. They were silent, but they seemed to be exchanging some information with each other.

The intrusion of the two "priests" whose attire was clearly out of place among them did not attract much attention from them, and not a single villager gave them an extra glance.

Although it was supposed to be a priest's quarters, there was actually no other sound except for the burning of candlelight and the footsteps of the two aliens.

Until... the door was suddenly pushed open, and a girl in black and white Lolita clothing barged in.

Holding a selfie stick in one hand and a rather oddly made-up coin in the other, she barged in and pointed at everyone, saying, "Let me see your true colors!"

The villagers were immediately drawn to the sight of the girl who had intruded. They all turned their heads, wearing fake smiles, and looked at her with a hollow look in their eyes.

Although there was no aggressive intent, everyone turned their heads in unison, staring at you with fake smiles. Coupled with the dim surroundings, the scene was indescribably eerie and chilling.

The girl who had uttered those harsh words was taken aback, also startled by the scene.

But she was no ordinary person either. After a moment of stunned silence, she instinctively turned her back, and with commendable courage, raised the selfie stick in her hand, ready to speak to the phone that was broadcasting live.

The latecomer, Muneya Yu, didn't even have time to check the situation before instinctively grabbing the selfie stick from the girl's hand to stop her from continuing her live stream.

"It's being broadcast live right now!!!" the girl tried to wrestle with him. "If you get in my way again, I'll curse you and banish you!"

And this seemingly short girl actually did it; for a moment, even Muneya Yu couldn't snatch the selfie stick from her, which was truly amazing.

"Go ahead and curse me if you dare!" Muneya Yu wasn't afraid of that. This alien, who had been involved in gangsters in his early years, didn't believe in ghosts or gods at all, and never took the girl's so-called "electric wave type spirit ability user" persona seriously.

But at least for now, he knew that they, as outsiders, should not attempt to provoke the natives.

The two started arguing right there on the live stream.

Today's mini-drama:

Homare Muneya: There are no demons in the world!

After meeting Tregear...

Homare Muneya: Demon!!!

Chapter 1383 The Aliens in the Ghost Village

Hong Tu glanced at the two arguing individuals and put away his phone. However, he didn't interrupt their argument; instead, he looked towards the back doorway.

The two aliens seemed to be discussing something, and while the two arguing individuals weren't paying attention to them, they quietly ran back to the back room.

Hong Tu decisively followed, silently passing through the crowd like a ghost and quickly disappearing into the small doorway.

This scene was faithfully captured by the live stream. Although the video was very shaky due to the argument between Muneya and the girl, and the scene only flashed by, many people still managed to catch a glimpse of the person in that fleeting moment.

In fact, if the two people arguing stopped and looked closely at their phones, they would find that in the footage they had taken, apart from the two priests in black robes and Hong Tu, there were only the two of them inside the shrine, and none of the villagers with their eerie smiles.

This is indeed a "ghost village" in the truest sense.

……

Hong Tu followed the two aliens out of the shrine and saw the two of them sneaking around together.

"Was that the person from just now?"

"It must be, it's finally here."

"These villagers are completely useless."

"I hope that human is actually useful."

"Damn it, why is there such a powerful sealing force on Earth...?"

The conversation between the two was somewhat ambiguous, but Hong Tu understood what they were saying.

These reckless aliens are actually plotting against that monster, and when they can't break the seal, they actually want to use a convenient method to break it.

I have no idea what these guys are planning to do with this monster.

And for some reason, Hong Tu felt that these guys' behavior was strangely familiar.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether it was the Vilan Guild or the Villain Association...

Are these guys planning to find this monster and sell it?

Recalling what the Earth's will had told him about this monster, Hong Tu couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye, gaining a new understanding of these guys' ability to cause trouble.

With that thought in mind, he decided to stop hiding himself, and the footsteps of other people quickly attracted the attention of the two aliens.

They hadn't expected anyone else to be there, and turned around in surprise: "Who's there?!"
