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

But who was Toregia? He completely ignored Hong Tu's indifferent expression and began to whisper excitedly.

“These are a group of interstellar refugees.” Toregia ignored Hong Tu’s expression and continued, “They came to Earth with nowhere else to go and ended up like this.”

Hong Tu: "???" What's going on? Are they robbing humans? ???

He rarely showed a confused expression, and Toregia was clearly very satisfied with this expression, his smile widening even more, and he even stuffed another chocolate ball into his mouth, causing his cheeks to puff out.

This blatant act of stealing food quickly attracted the attention of the robbers due to a commotion caused by someone nearby.

Torregia turned his head to look at the source of the noise and saw a somewhat obese man wearing a white t-shirt looking at him awkwardly before silently curling himself into a ball.

"Hey human over there, what are you eating!" As expected, the robbers ignored the human but noticed Toregia, who was still happily eating.

Torregia's smile froze. He glanced at Red Tea, who had somehow distanced himself from him, and gritted his teeth inwardly.

Tsk, this Mr. Wang always manages to trick you in some weird and wonderful way.

"Stand up!" These interstellar refugees were probably doing this for the first time. Looking at the seemingly composed Tregear, the muzzle of their guns trembled involuntarily.

It seems that those who are armed are the ones being threatened.

Hong Tu had already retreated to a corner, coldly observing the situation on the scene.

After the initial panic, the people held hostage in the hall realized that the kidnappers were just bluffing.

They didn't even bother to cover their faces, and some of the bolder ones had already taken out their phones to call the police while covering for each other.

Of course, the most important thing is...

Hong Tu slightly raised her gaze and looked towards the second floor of the hall.

The second floor is U-shaped, so you can clearly see some people cautiously peeking out from above. Someone has probably already called the police or made some other preparations.

Suddenly I understand how these guys ended up as refugees...

If this continues, it's only a matter of time before these people are arrested, after all, the Foreign Affairs Department of this Earth is indeed quite capable.

After glancing at Toregia, who had a gun pointed at his head, Hong Tu silently looked away, pretending to be a silent shadow.

But is Torregia just going to let himself be tricked? Of course not.

His still-smiling expression successfully enraged the alien in front of him. The alien's face turned red, and he pushed the muzzle of his gun forward. Seeing that Tregear was still saying things like "I'm so scared" without any concern, he immediately pulled the trigger in a fit of rage.

But Torregia was faster. He grabbed the muzzle before the other could press the trigger, turning it into a corner, letting the robber's bullets fly into the corner in his panic. Then, with a deft movement, he snatched the weapon from the robber's hand.

At the same time, several humans behind the four robbers suddenly pounced out. Two of them were clearly quite skilled. They quickly used the ropes at hand to tie the hands of the two robbers they had subdued behind their backs. They glanced at the other two robbers who were being pinned down by several burly men and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But before he could catch his breath, a scream instantly made him gasp for air again.

The two were startled, and then they realized the reason for the scream.

These two individuals, who had been subjected to intense pressure, had actually had their disguises removed, revealing their alien faces. A woman who saw them instinctively exclaimed in surprise, "They're aliens!"

Good grief, I can encounter an alien incident even on a vacation?!

Two members of the Foreign Affairs Unknown Division, who had taken the day off specifically to play games, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of their eye, suddenly having a bad feeling.

"We are from the Foreign Affairs and Unknowns Division, everyone don't panic." The Foreign Affairs and Unknowns Division was quite experienced in this kind of situation, and the group of ordinary people quickly calmed down after the initial panic, although they subconsciously kept their distance from the robbers.

“Sir, please put down your gun and leave the rest to us.” A member of the Foreign Affairs Unknown Division pointed a found gun at the last unharmed robber while turning to Tregear to reassure him.

With a harmless smile on his face, Tregear casually tossed the gun in his hand to the ground and stepped back from the alien, even subtly moving to Hong Tu's side.

Hong Tu still had a bullet hole mark on the side of his face. He looked at Toregia who was approaching with a blank expression, and his displeasure was obvious.

Torregia wisely stopped outside the shadows, at a relatively safe distance.

"Tell me about it." This time, Hong Tu's tone lacked its usual approachable gentleness; it carried the commanding tone only one would have as the ruler of an empire.

No one would try to defy him at this time; even Toregia would wisely choose to compromise.

“You’ve probably heard about your appearance in this universe,” Tregear immediately clarified, noticing Red Tea’s gaze. “This has nothing to do with me. There’s no place for the Empire in my game.”

He wouldn't consider the Empire within the scope of the game, so naturally he wouldn't do anything that might attract the Empire's attention. Even the tricks he did in the Red Tea Palace were preparations to shift the Empire's attention to another universe.

Hong Tu accepted his explanation, but didn't suggest he continue.

Torregia didn't continue immediately, because the members of the Unknown Foreign Affairs Division who had tied up the five robbers were already walking towards their corner. Now was clearly not the time to talk.

The members of the Foreign Affairs Unknown Division showed them their identification before turning to Torregia with concern: "Sir, are you alright?"

"Of course it's fine." To some extent, Torregia is indeed a drama queen, and when he's willing to pretend, he's always quite easy to get along with and can easily gain anyone's trust.

"That's good, but please don't do such dangerous things next time..." The policeman didn't forget his purpose just because Tregear looked harmless. He started rambling on and on about the dangers of fighting aliens alone, completely unaware of Tregear's increasingly stiff expression.

Hong Tu: "Pfft!"

Torregia: "..."

For a moment, Torregia wanted to kill this fly-like, noisy human, but with Red Tea still there, he obviously couldn't have his way.

Soon, the other members of the Foreign Affairs Unknown Division also arrived quickly and took over the scene. They systematically confirmed the identities of these aliens, calmed the innocent civilians, and then quickly left the scene.

Chapter 1389 The Strange Sphere

The Foreign Affairs Department was very efficient, but after the alien incident, the next game expo could not continue.

The ordinary people left the scene with lingering fear. The company will likely release a new announcement afterward, rescheduling the exhibition at a different time.

Hong Tu and Tregear didn't rush to leave. Taking advantage of the slight chaos caused by the humans leaving the scene, the two had already infiltrated the company.

The fact that alien migrants have taken this place hostage can only mean that there is something they need here.

It's highly unlikely that they would use human currency; anyone with a brain would know they should be robbing banks instead. So something else must have caught their attention.

The two men, with perfectly normal expressions, bypassed the hurried staff and finally stopped in front of a server room.

They exchanged a glance, and Torregia quietly pushed open the door.

As for the high-tech lock hanging on the door... it was practically useless at this moment. Not to mention the alarm, even the slightest sound of the door opening was completely masked.

The door was pushed open a crack, and Torregia could easily see the person inside through the gap.

Although it's advertised as a server room, inside there's only a strange, scarlet sphere filled with various data tubes floating in the center of the room. Several people in white lab coats and two in black suits are whispering to each other, unaware that the door has been quietly pushed open.

Torregia raised an eyebrow, surprised to see this thing here.

He actually recognized this thing. It was a control system that also contained data. Although the sphere was only one meter in diameter and the whole sphere looked like an energy container, it was actually a control system representing the most advanced technology in the universe.

To give a simple example, Galatlon, which has been ranked as the top mechanical weapon to this day, uses this kind of control system.

Oh, it's not that the red ball in front of us is Galactron's control system, it's just that it's the same model.

Although this system is called a system, it is more like a super system that also has a database. It is said that the database can store detailed data on up to ten planets, but this does not affect its control system at all.

It is perfectly compatible with most of the control systems known in the universe, and even has a certain degree of growth potential, reaching the point where it can be operated directly regardless of the strength of mental power.

It's important to know that most mental control systems currently in use in the universe require extremely high levels of mental power and precise mental control, which is why most spaceships are either semi-manual or autopilot.

[I highly recommend Mimi Reading; it's really useful for tracking your books. You can download it here and give it a try!]

Of course, what makes this system truly "top-tier" is its internal AI. This system has no AI! Aside from being actively created, it will not generate any data life forms due to data or compatibility with other systems!

A control system or program with perfect growth potential, yet without any worries about it disobeying orders or rebelling... one can imagine that this kind of control system is probably the dream of many extraterrestrials.

However, the manufacturer of this system is unknown, as are its sales channels. Those who possess it keep it tightly under wraps. If it weren't for a chance encounter while researching Galactron, Torregia would likely not have known about it.

Yes, neither the Empire nor the Land of Light... knows about this separate system. However, the Empire has Galacron, so they might have some knowledge of Galacron's system.

But it's highly likely they don't know that such a separate system exists.

However, things might change after this.

But the fact that this thing ended up in the hands of humans on Earth... is rather intriguing.

Remembering that Hongtu had come here for this reason, Toregia couldn't help but turn around and give Hongtu a meaningful look.

Being able to devour a universe without being rejected by other universes, and even being actively courted by them... one might say it truly lives up to its reputation as the original darkness.

In comparison, he himself is...

Hong Tu raised an eyebrow and looked at Tregear. To be honest, his instinct to sense soul fluctuations was not very effective against Tregear, because the messy things sealed inside this guy's body were good at concealing his own thoughts. So he was not very good at hearing Tregear's thoughts. He just knew what kind of things he would do because he understood his personality.

But this obviously doesn't include this time; there seems to be something strange in Toregia's eyes.

Hong Tu: "?" What are you looking at?

Torregia readily looked away; now that they knew what was inside, there was no need for them to hide it anymore.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door. As the sound waves spread, the people inside were instantly plunged into a state similar to time stopping.

Torregia then pushed open the door and stood at the entrance, making an inviting gesture to Hongtu.

Hong Tu didn't stand on ceremony and went straight in. After glancing at the group of humans, he bypassed them and arrived in front of the sphere.

He walked around the thing once and came to a conclusion: "Galatron?"

"As expected of a king." Toregia offered a timely compliment, but made no further explanation.

Hong Tu didn't need him to say much. Unlike humans who didn't know how to use mental power to operate and could only try to manage things with the help of data cables, Hong Tu quickly got the hang of this thing.

He immediately began browsing through the contents.

The data here is enormous, covering all the information about nine planets, including planetary data, life data, energy data, civilization data, and data about the surrounding cosmic environment.

Hongtu is only interested in civilization data. As for planetary or cosmic data, what use is it? Is it just a matter of comparing taste?

Just kidding, he's not picky about food at all.

After looking at it once, he understood why this thing had ended up on Earth.

This thing originally belonged to a system on a planet called "Aero" in the Fesaiero Galaxy.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this sphere is currently placed here by humans for research and games; in reality, this system maintains the operation of an entire planet.

However, due to their over-reliance on this system, the Aeolians lost their ability to manage themselves, and there were even cases where the system managed their lives.

Although the system was very advanced and there was no possibility of intelligent life forms rebelling, the Aeolians still gradually declined because of this management method, until the entire planet's civilization came to an end.

After the civilization died, cosmic scavengers who regarded Eros as a barren planet accidentally discovered this control system, but these ignorant people sold it to the merchant guild in exchange for some supplies.

Ironically, the one selling this stuff... is the Vilan Guild.
