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

This includes this one too...

It wasn't Hong Tu who discovered that thing appeared on Earth, since Hong Tu had no interest in constantly monitoring Tregear.

This time, it is the will of Earth that has come to Hong Tu for help.

From the perspective of Earth's will, it's roughly like a war machine that destroyed several planets being "smuggled" to Earth by a Chaos Demon God.

"...Isn't there Taiga? Since it's prepared for Taiga, there's no need to worry too much." Hong Tu reassured the Earth's will.

In fact, Earth's consciousness didn't need his reassurance. This guy came with a "complaining" tone, probably using Hong Tu as a backer.

Well, that's generally true.

After complaining and receiving Hong Tu's "guarantee," the Earth's will, feeling that its goal had been achieved, quickly and happily left, stating that because of Tregear, there had been a lot of dark energy on Earth recently, and that it would help Hong Tu accumulate it.

The flattery was blatant and obvious.

Hong Tu: "..."

After the Earth's will left, Hong Tu also went out.

Kudo Yuuki didn't appear, so he's probably held up by some event. In that case, he'll have to go find him himself.

Although it may be a bit late to say this now, it's enough to annoy Torregia.

However, when Hong Tu found Kudo Yuuki, the poor guy was tied to a pillar and unconscious.

The person who captured the four squads was an alien that Hong Tu had never seen before, but the aura surrounding this guy... why did he think of Hikari?

This is the basement of a factory. The humans who should have been working here were all persuaded to leave by this alien in some unknown way, and the place was taken over by the alien.

"But it's so noisy here." Hong Tu couldn't help but rub her ears.

This alien was quite cautious. He deployed strange interference waves in this area, which wouldn't cause too much interference to Hong Tu, since they were designed for machines. However, there was a faint buzzing sound that was quite noisy.

His muttering actually startled the alien, who immediately used a special device on his arm to aim at the shadowy spot where Hong Tu was.

"Who goes there?!" His face was cold and stern, his outstretched arm steady and decisive, making him even more similar to Hikari.

"You're quite perceptive." Hong Tu clapped her hands as she emerged from the darkness. "Excuse me, I seem to have disturbed you, but I have a question, is it convenient for you to answer it?"

Startled awake by his voice, Kudo Yuuki was momentarily dazed before realizing his predicament.

But the alien scientist had no time to pay attention to him at the moment. Instead, he stared at Hong Tu warily: "I originally thought he was the most dangerous being on this planet. I didn't expect there would be someone like you hiding on this planet."

“Well, it’s Earth after all.” Hong Tu wasn’t surprised, but glanced at the arm guard-like device on his arm.

This device looks simple, but its technological level is in no way inferior to that of the Empire, and it is even superior to the Empire in terms of shielding and detection.

The universe is indeed full of hidden talents.

but……

"Why would you think an Ultraman of Light would be a dangerous existence?" Hong Tu asked, getting to the heart of the matter. "I remember that the Ultra race has a very good reputation in the universe."

The alien scientist opposite him had a cold expression: "Any powerful force will bring disaster, and a guardian can become a destroyer."

It sounds like there's a story behind it.

"But who are you?!" the alien scientist demanded again. "Your power is extremely dangerous, enough to threaten this planet!"

Hong Tu didn't deny his dangerousness, but still tried to justify himself: "I have little interest in destroying the Earth. On the contrary, I am entrusted by the will of the Earth to deliver something to these guys you kidnapped."

This statement doesn't sound very credible, since there are very few beings in the entire universe who can communicate directly with the will of a planet, not even Tregear.

So generally, people who make such statements are just saying it as a joke.

The alien scientist didn't laugh; he kept a close eye on Hong Tu's every move: "I don't know when we'll need the Dark Aliens to deliver things to the Light Clan."

Subtly, he shielded Kudo Yuuki, who was tied to the pillar, behind him. Although he didn't know why this guy had suddenly kidnapped Ultraman, he was still on the side of light and knew to protect the innocent.

Hong Tu sighed: "Then ask the guy behind you."

Kudo Yuuki also readily agreed, asking, "Who exactly are you, and what do you want?"

"Speaking of which, what did you do to Taiga and the others? I can no longer see their light," Hong Tu suddenly spoke up.

Kudo Yuuki was startled, only then realizing that something was missing from his body. He subconsciously looked at his side, where the three transformation devices that should have been hanging were nowhere to be seen.

Chapter 1409 Hong Tu Flips the Table

I don't know how this guy did it, but he completely sealed three Ultramen in the form of a transformation device, so that even light couldn't penetrate it.

If Hong Tu hadn't been keeping a close eye on them, they probably wouldn't have noticed what happened to the three little ones.

"I'm just temporarily holding them in safekeeping," the alien scientist explained to Kudo Yuuki. However, this explanation was unlikely to be understood.

Kudo Yuuki immediately struggled to get Taiga and the others back, but Kurenai pondered for a moment: "Are you wary of powerful forces?"

The alien scientist immediately ignored Kudo Yuuki and turned to Hong Tu: "You are also someone I am wary of."

Hong Tu tilted her head: "Being wary of me was the right decision."

“But there’s no point in arguing like this. Let’s just sit down and talk calmly,” Hong Tu suggested.

The alien scientist stared at him for a long time, probably realizing that he was no match for Hong Tu, and nodded.

So, while poor Kudo Yuuki was still tied to the pillar, Hong Tu and the unknown scientist each brought over a chair and sat down.

Kudo Yuuki: "..." Why don't you just let me go?!

After being persuaded, the alien scientist was no longer cold as before, but instead looked serious: "My name is Ilud, and I came to this planet to find a guy."

Looking for "someone"?

My first thought for Hongtu is Toregia.

Well, you can't really blame Hong Tu. After all, it's quite a stretch for a scientist to suddenly come to another planet, claiming it's to find someone. He's probably after revenge, especially since he's so wary of powerful forces. That makes you wonder even more.

Therefore, Hong Tu felt that even if this guy wasn't looking for Tregear, he was probably related to Tregear.

"Who?" Kudo Yuuki, who was tied up to the side, tried to join the conversation.

Ilud turned and glanced at him: "You certainly have the right to know the situation."

Once he stopped being so coldly wary, this guy's personality became somewhat arrogant.

"Well then, before that guy shows up, let's tell a legend from a distant planet."

"Long, long ago, in the vast Milky Way, there was a story about a planet that was constantly attacked by monsters. People were always looking for a way to protect themselves from the monsters. One day, a scientist who traveled around came to that planet. He created a powerful defensive machine that could protect people. People were grateful for this and worshipped that powerful defensive machine as their guardian deity."

"Guardian deity?" Kudo Yuuki seemed to make a connection to something in an instant.

Before he could think further, Ilude continued, "People on other planets also wanted guardian deities, and scientists created one guardian deity after another to protect them. Soon after, the monsters were wiped out, and peace was restored to the Milky Way. The scientists, very satisfied, embarked on their journeys to other planets once again."

Hong Tu lowered his head thoughtfully: "A defensive machine to protect the galaxy..."

Kudo Yuuki glanced at Hong Tu, then looked uncertainly at Ilude: "This... is truly a beautiful story."

“I remember there’s a sequel to this story, right?” Hong Tu suddenly spoke up.

Ilud paused, looking up and staring intently at Hongtu: "...Yes."

"The scientist returned there a hundred years later, but what he saw was..."

“The scene of out-of-control guardians fighting each other,” Hong Tu suddenly interjected, “and planets that were completely destroyed and even turned into death stars.”

"What?" Kudo Yuuki didn't expect to hear such a follow-up. He subconsciously looked at Ilude and saw the answer on his cold and stern face.

"I see. The power that was supposed to protect us led to the destruction of the planet, which is why you were wary of Ultraman's power." Hong Tu nodded, understanding Ilude's actions.

Kudo Yuuki, standing to the side, was completely stunned.

Guardian deities... did their protective power bring disaster upon themselves?

The image of Taiga fighting suddenly flashed through his mind, especially Taiga clad in golden armor and wielding Earth's power...

But he quickly came to his senses and shook his head, trying to shake the strange thought out of his mind.

That was his most important partner. How could he doubt his partner? Besides, Taiga had saved the Earth and him so many times.

"And then?" Hong Tu asked.

"Later? To prevent such a tragedy from happening again, the regretful scientist embarked on a journey alone to find all the guardian spirits and seal them all away. The story ends." Ilud finished telling the story.

Hong Tu sized him up: "So it was you. What you're looking for is indeed on Earth."

"you know?"

“In fact, that’s why I came here too.” Hong Tu glanced at Kudo Yuuki beside her. “The Earth’s will detected that thing as soon as it appeared. After all, it’s a machine that has destroyed many planets, and Earth, which is still young, will naturally take corresponding measures.”

“Is that so? The will of this planet is unusually active.” Ilud no longer questioned Hong Tu’s words, but he had his own opinion. “However, I hope you will not interfere with me before I retrieve that guy.”

"Hmm? You haven't found the reason why the machine went out of control yet, so you're afraid that this thing will also go out of control?" Hong Tu crossed her legs and supported herself with her arms. "Speaking of which, I know another version of this story."

Ilud was taken aback: "What?"

“More than ten years ago,” Hong Tu recalled, “there was a mad scientist who accidentally discovered some interesting defense machines. Those machines were quite perfect and were said to carry the scientist’s dream and the beautiful wishes of the planet’s people. The mad scientist was very interested in these machines, so he inputted his consciousness into them.”

"What do you mean by inputting one's own consciousness into it?" Ilud was still a little confused, but he quickly realized the meaning of the sentence. "Could it be..."

“That’s right, it was his insane ideology,” Hong Tu answered him directly. “He replaced the Guardian’s program with destruction, leading to the destruction of a galaxy.”

Who are you?!

“I didn’t do it.” Hong Tu leaned back in his chair, smiling innocently. “But the guy who did it is on Earth.”

"who is it?"

"Tregear."

Ilude naturally knew the name Torregia as well. He glanced at Kudo Yuuki, who was deep in thought, and asked, "Why?"

“Probably to enjoy the moment of ‘dream shattering’,” Hong Tu shrugged. “That guy’s always like that. But this time…”

He also looked at Kudo Yuuki.

Without needing any further words, Ilud understood his meaning.

The moment when a dream is shattered is the moment when protection turns into destruction.
