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

Even the light of the soul... seems to have changed.

Hong Tu rested her chin on her interlaced fingers, scrutinized him with interest, and slowly asked Toregia, "Do you know who he is?"

Tregear was also surprised by the alien's sudden change in personality. After some thought, he came to a conclusion: "The Metabos are a kind-hearted, light-based alien race. They aren't particularly powerful, but they excel at technological research. It's said that every Metabos is an outstanding R&D engineer. Most interestingly, the Metabos can, to a certain extent, suppress their emotions and achieve extreme calmness, which is the foundation of their technological dominance. However, it's said that this power has side effects. Maintaining an emotionless state for a long time will cause the Metabos to slowly lose their emotions, eventually becoming a 'machine' that only researches technology—essentially a form of death."

The alien opposite him remained unmoved. He listened calmly to Tregear's description, neither refuting nor speaking, but simply observing the two of them indifferently.

Hong Tu also sized him up: "If all you need is to get that system back, wouldn't it be simpler to steal it?"

Going to rob someone in such a high-profile manner doesn't seem like something the Light faction would do, especially not something researchers would do. Well, not including those from the Land of Light.

"I can't figure out what your purpose is either." The alien didn't answer Hong Tu's question, but after his gaze swept over the two of them, he seemed to determine that Hong Tu was of higher status, so he looked at Hong Tu and said, "You've already gone to see that system."

Hong Tu looked at him in surprise: "Not bad."

"Then you should know that we were simply stranded on this planet by accident," the Metab alien continued. "You are Dark People, but you have no hostility towards me. So what do you want to know?"

Before Hong Tu could answer, he paused and asked, "Is it about the 'Empire'?"

Hong Tu was utterly astonished: "This is much better than ordinary AI."

Torregia shrugged: "After all, the intelligence of the Metab aliens is no less than that of the Chebul aliens."

But in some ways, they're much smarter than the Chebulians. Hong Tu thought about the two Chebulians she'd encountered before; they were both quite self-important.

"How about we make a deal?" the alien suggested, knowing his guess was right. "Someone is chasing us. I'd like to exchange information for your temporary protection."

Hong Tu thought for a moment: "Is the reason why the other side is chasing you related to what we want to know?"

The fact that they didn't deny it shows they have enough confidence and strength. The Metabus alien analyzed calmly.

“Yes.” The Metab alien nodded. “This matter concerns the Empire’s attitude toward this universe.”

Hong Tu narrowed his eyes and exchanged a glance with Toregia.

Chapter 1392 Two Groups of Imposters

If Hong Tu and Toregia still don't realize they've been tricked, they'll truly be fools.

Especially Hong Tu, whose gaze toward Toregia was quite meaningful.

If we're talking about which of the two made a grand entrance, it would be Tregear. He caused such a commotion that the Vilan Guild had to halt its auction, and many aliens were filled with unease.

Tregear clicked his tongue, knowing he was in the wrong, since he really wanted to play with Taiga.

So he asked first, "So, you came here for me?"

The Metab alien paused for a moment before turning his gaze to Tregear.

"Torregia?" He confirmed Torregia's identity almost instantly. Although his tone was still questioning, his eyes were already certain. "I didn't expect to find you so quickly."

Torregia squinted at him, "So you were looking for me from the beginning?"

“Sorry,” the Metab alien apologized insincerely, even glancing at Hong Tu unconsciously, “but you’re the only one we can think of.”

"Huh?" Tregear almost laughed at his words. What a joke! His reputation in the universe was infamous, and someone actually asked him for help? What kind of cosmic joke was this?

Hong Tu laughed without any restraint, completely unconcerned about Toregia's momentary unpleasant expression.

But what could Tregear do? He could only click his tongue in frustration and look at the Metabus alien: "Then you've come to the wrong person."

To some extent, Toregia is a despicable guy who likes to contradict others. He is extremely controlling, but he also dislikes being controlled by others. Instead, he enjoys seeing the hateful and resentful expressions on other people's faces when their plans fail.

So, in his unhappy state, he had no intention of fulfilling the wishes of the Metabus alien opposite him, and was even maliciously considering whether to use humans to get rid of these guys.

“Not necessarily,” the Metab alien patiently waited until Hong Tu had finished laughing before speaking, “After all, we have intelligence to prove that the person with you is His Majesty Nag of the Empire.”

Now all eyes were on Hong Tu, who was caught off guard and had her identity exposed: "?"

Why are you looking for me again?

"It seems that Your Majesty's reputation for 'kindness' has spread throughout the universe." Now it was Tregear's turn to tease him without fear of death.

Hong Tu gave him a displeased look: "Is it because of a bad reputation?"

Don't you even consider how many planets he's saved? Does not having a good reputation mean he has a bad one? Don't assume everyone likes chaos as much as you do.

So why is it that someone who was once infamous for darkness now has a reputation for being "looking towards the light" and "kind-hearted"?

This is something Tregear can't understand. It's clearly a dark place whose thoughts are unfathomable, so why would some aliens be so blind as to think it's a benevolent side?

However, we now know their purpose.

They learned that Tregear had appeared on Earth. Based on some unknown intelligence, they knew that Hong Tu was with him, so they specifically fled to Earth and caused a great commotion. On the one hand, they wanted to attract temporary protection from humans, and on the other hand, they were probably trying to lure out Tregear or Hong Tu.

They knew Hong Tu quite well, knowing he enjoyed entertainment, so they deliberately lured humans into using alien technology to create a game, which led to this alien robbery incident.

What can I say... these people really know how to take unconventional approaches?

"Tell me about it."

Hongtu admired these guys' courage, while Toregia appreciated their desperate gamble and ruthlessness. The two bosses decided to see what he wanted.

The Metab alien secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he knew they were halfway to success.

He took a deep breath; even though he had set aside his emotions, he still couldn't help feeling nervous.

"Your Majesty, are you aware of any individuals impersonating Imperial forces to invade other planets?"

Hong Tu raised an eyebrow, feeling that this was somewhat different from the version she had heard: "I heard that someone is impersonating me and operating in the universe."

"No, it was done by two groups of people."

Hong Tu and Toregia both narrowed their eyes, and it even seemed that Hong Tu's eyes were overflowing with tiny red sparkles.

The Dark Lord of the Empire said with a hint of something meaningful, "Oh?"

In an instant, the already dim interrogation room became even darker, as if some darkness lurked beyond the reach of the dim yellow light overhead.

The Metab alien, a researcher whose combat power might not even be as good as that of an Earthling, subconsciously trembled, but still insisted on continuing: "There are two groups of people, one impersonating you and the other impersonating the Empire, who are running rampant in the universe."

……

This event initially occurred on a small transit planet near the Metbu star system.

It all started with a rumor that someone had spread the word that His Majesty of the Empire was on this planet.

Such words naturally attracted the attention of a group of busybodies. Regardless of whether they believed it or not, curiosity was bound to arise.

Some went hoping to see the person in person, some were skeptical, and others were there to test whether the person was as powerful as the legends suggested.

But before this group of restless outlaws could take their own actions, one alien who had tried to curry favor with "His Majesty" went completely mad, screaming as he ran wildly through the planet's streets, intending to harm every alien he saw.

This madman eventually died from a hail of bullets fired by aliens on the street, but his madness left the aliens who witnessed it speechless.

The witnesses unanimously described the mad alien as being enveloped in strange, black, smoke-like energy, laughing maniacally and shouting incoherent words like "darkness," while continuously unleashing black energy spheres that attacked all living things around him.

Because it involves "darkness," this matter is naturally linked to the ruler of the empire.

The transit station manager, who had initially paid little attention to the rumor, suddenly realized something was wrong and began to investigate its source. He eventually found the "Empire's Ruler" through this lead.

Logically, they shouldn't be able to accurately confirm the other party's identity, since no one had ever seen his true face. However, those who had been there firmly believed that he was His Majesty of the Empire, the only one in the universe who was universally acknowledged as... [Darkness].

This statement seems to have been completely confirmed. The appearance of a madman has also made the group of desperados temporarily give up their provocative intentions, and even those who tried to make amends subconsciously chose to wait and see.

This wait-and-see behavior served no purpose other than spreading the message.

Until one day, the Empire's fleet appeared outside this transit planet.

Chapter 1393 Fragments of the Ancient Darkness

Chapter 1393 Fragments of the Ancient Darkness

"The fleet is led by a Chebulian who claims to be a Dark Alien of the Empire. He demands that we submit to them immediately and has even used force to intimidate us." The Metab Alien's expression darkened, clearly recalling some unpleasant memories.

At the time, the planet Metb was already embroiled in internal strife due to its unimaginable research, and the sudden appearance of this "empire" undoubtedly added fuel to the already tense atmosphere.

"How did you determine that it was a fake?" Hong Tu was quite curious about this.

Hong Tu was very curious about how the Metab aliens made their judgment, whether it was about the fake Nag or the fake Empire.

The Metab alien paused for a moment: "Because you are [Darkness]."

"[Darkness]?" Hong Tu raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?" Torregia also became serious, subtly concealing his nonchalance and clearly taking the title seriously.

This title is actually quite uncommon.

Although the word "darkness" appears in rumors about him throughout the universe, in reality, apart from a few people who know his true nature, everyone else simply regards him as a dark alien who uses dark energy.

After all, he also has the form of Dark Ultraman, so it's normal for him to use "dark" power.
