Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

What suddenly appeared at close range outside the door were several powerful military submachine guns.

The men carrying these military submachine guns were none other than Japanese soldiers in Japanese uniforms. Judging from their movements, they were clearly preparing to kick open the door and rush into the house, but they were caught off guard and had the first move made.

Of course, the reason it was described as just a few submachine guns was because the door was only so big, and could only accommodate a few people at a time at most. Outside the door, a large number of troops were also squatting and guarding.

They clearly entered the nearby houses quietly beforehand, claiming it was a secret military exercise and that even if the neighbors saw it, they couldn't make a fuss, which is why they were able to sneak around until now.

Moreover, from a greater distance, although the tanks did not come over, several armed helicopters were flying closer in the sky.

The overwhelming firepower froze both high school student Mizushino Sota and uncle Matsubara Takashi, who were both modern people, completely terrified.

For most modern people, the terror of cold, hard weapons is ingrained in their very being; the mere sight of them makes them unable to move or daring to resist.

Although the soldiers had been outmaneuvered, they quickly shouted, "Don't move! Surrender obediently, or we'll open fire!"

They really do shoot; these soldiers have clearly seen blood, and they exude a genuine aura of killing intent.

"H-How could this be..." High school student Mizushino Sata and uncle Matsubara Takashi were almost scared to death, their eyes wide with horror.

The library sage girl, Meteora, immediately understood: "I see. As expected, today's fight was too obvious. There were plenty of witnesses, and the modern world has surveillance footage to prove it, so it was easy for them to find our whereabouts and come to arrest us?"

So, what should we do?

Meteora and the others all looked at Hideki Go.

If Guiman hadn't been there, Meteora would have surrendered immediately, because although they were all superhumans, they were at the level where they couldn't possibly defeat a modern country in the real world; their strength was only at that level.

However, if Ultraman is involved, then that's a different story.

"If you want to open fire, then open fire. If you think that's a skill, then feel free to try it."

Hideki Go, who was protecting everyone behind him, stared intently with a sharp gaze. The sharpness was so intense that the soldiers who were trying to arrest him as a criminal couldn't help but feel a chill, and their hands holding guns even trembled slightly involuntarily.

Even with firearms in hand, being swept across by such sharp gazes made them feel as if they were not battle-hardened soldiers, but rather a group of newborn infants, powerless to even kill a chicken, facing a terrifying tiger.

There was not a single chance of winning... When Hideki Go released an aura that he hadn't shown in a long time, the air became extremely oppressive.

Not only the soldiers facing off against Hideki Go in front of the gate, but also the other soldiers who had occupied the nearby streets, were all trembling with fear at this moment, their fingers quietly and unconsciously leaving the trigger.

He dared not pull the trigger, and even more so, he dared not let Hideki Go think that he was about to pull the trigger.

For a long time, everyone has shared a common understanding, which can be said to be the same across the universe: Ultraman will always be the gentlest of the Ultra Brothers.

Even the kind-hearted person was assigned to clerical work back in the Land of Light, toiling away to the point of becoming a beast of burden like Mefilas, the strategist of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings.

However, even the most gentle and kind-hearted person has moments when they need to show their sharpness; it's just that Gui Man has mostly never needed to do so.

Of course, at this moment, Hideki Go was not angry or upset; his mood was quite normal.

This kind of thing wouldn't make him angry in the slightest.

He merely released a slight aura of his past achievements, having defeated countless enemies, and that was all. Yet, it was already unbearable for all the soldiers. That was all.

Under this aura, the armed helicopters flying in the sky, without anyone noticing, had already quietly and secretly landed before any new orders were issued from their superiors.

They dared not point the Gatling guns from the armed helicopters at Hideki Go anymore.

The power of a single tremor is so great.

The superiors, who were watching from a distance and ready to issue new orders at any moment, felt a chill run down their spines.

This isn't right; this isn't what they expected.

Although they weren't so evil as to actually want to do anything to Ultraman or anyone else, they didn't intend to kill them, seriously injure them, use them for military service, or conduct experiments on them.

None of these things exist; the government here isn't that bad.

However, they also wanted to seize the initiative and absolute control, to become the superiors of these people and make them all obedient.

Furthermore, logically speaking, wouldn't Ultra Warriors not object to being instructed by the local authorities of the planet?

Even if it's not about fighting monsters or aliens, as long as it's not about fighting wars between human nations or suppressing uprisings within human nations, but rather about doing routine patrols or other ordinary work...

I've never seen any Ultraman who would be repulsed or disgusted; they're all happy to contribute and follow instructions.

So, this, this, this isn't right. Why is it that when it comes to them, they suddenly refuse to cooperate?

Judging from this, it's obvious that Hideki Go has no intention of obediently serving as a subordinate!

"Ahem..." A superior officer in the rear shut down the machinery that disrupted the surrounding magnetic field and spoke remotely through a communicator hanging on the waist of a soldier on the ground, "Hideki Go, Ultraman Jack... what do you mean by this? This doesn't comply with the rules of your Land of Light, does it?"

"Objectively speaking, we could consider you no different from an invader, having entered our Earth without any declaration, right? We don't really want to do anything to you, but isn't your attitude too unlike that of a Warrior of Light?"

"Are you really Hideki Go, really Ultraman Jack?!"

The higher-ups panicked.

Generally speaking, Guiman would not be so assertive when facing local officials.

This made them feel insecure all of a sudden.

"Is that so? If you want to know, then I can give you three reasons."

Hideki Go is certainly not the unreasonable type. Although he has to be assertive this time because of what he is about to do, he is also willing to let the officials here understand why he is acting out of character.

"First, all the humans in your world already know about Ultraman Jack. I no longer need to pretend. Therefore, it's impossible for me to live like an ordinary person, integrate into Earth, do ordinary work, and obey official orders like an ordinary person, just like when my identity was not exposed."

"Secondly, although I don't know how much intelligence you have now, I can tell you clearly that this is now a problem between this real world and multiple created worlds. It is no longer a matter within the single human race on Earth, and my approach will naturally be different."

"Third, whether you can accept it or not, from now on, I will forcibly take over all the highest power in this world in the shortest possible time. I have reasons for doing so."

—?!

The first and second reasons are both acceptable; they are indeed very Ultraman-like.

But what the heck is this third reason?

Does "forcibly taking over all supreme power" mean that Hideki Go is going to seize supreme rule over all countries in the world from this very moment, gather all power into one, and become the master of the earth?

How could Ultraman do such a thing, especially one known for his gentleness?

Where did your Ultraman spirit go, you bastard!

Volume 1: 547. My greatness, glory, and righteousness are abandoned here!

547. My greatness, glory, and righteousness are abandoned here!

Just as the soldiers and their superiors were deeply shocked, Hideki Go changed his story.

"Or to be more precise, I need to gain supreme power in one or two areas so that you are all willing to cooperate, so as to avoid making trouble and creating even bigger chaos. This is the only point on which I cannot compromise."

"However, aside from these one or two necessary aspects, I will not interfere in anything else. The power remains with you. I am merely a temporary visitor who needs to resort to some extreme measures to achieve a certain goal."

He then offered a more nuanced explanation.

Hideki Go had absolutely no interest in being the highest authority or ruler on Earth, especially since it was completely against the principles of an Ultra Warrior.

The reason we want to take this action now is because we have no other choice.

"Don't joke around! How could such a thing be allowed! Just because a virtual character or a virtual persona has become real, you think you can devour its master? You were created by us humans! Do you really think you're some kind of Ultraman? You should be grateful to us humans!"

Ugh.

Therefore, being mistaken for a virtual character can indeed cause trouble and make some people automatically develop a condescending perspective, feeling that they are naturally in a superior position.

However, while the world certainly has such a thing as recognition, its limits and limitations also objectively exist.

Putting aside the question of whether or not a fake Ultra Brother could be created, just seeing that there was no virtual product called Kasa here, Hideki Go had already immediately determined that he was undoubtedly the real outsider.

Of course, he himself doesn't need to rely on checking if there is a Kasa to distinguish between the real and the fake, but to the outside world, this is a piece of evidence that can be declared.

Unfortunately, the people here are so prejudiced that they are unlikely to be persuaded.

No matter how much Hideki Go can prove that he is the real Ultraman and not a character created by their power, the people here probably won't believe him.

Let's skip all the formalities and get to the most efficient approach.

"I'm sorry, Sota, Mr. Matsubara, for dragging you into this, but don't worry. When the sun rises tomorrow, you won't have to live in fear anymore. I'll handle it quickly."

Since the rulers are unwilling to cooperate fully even when they are trying to speak and communicate properly, it is absolutely impossible for them to cooperate to the fullest extent.

So, he could only learn a little bit of martial arts.

"What are you doing, Mr. Xiang?" Serega shouted. "Don't do anything foolish! Didn't you say that you couldn't defeat that woman in military uniform with your current strength? Your strength hasn't fully recovered yet!"

“I’m not at my peak right now, Serega, but you’ve misunderstood something.”

Hideki turned around and sighed, saying, "Just because I've become weaker doesn't mean others have become stronger. You should all rest here for the night."

Defeating the whole world single-handedly—doing something like that is anything but enjoyable.

But it seems to be a necessary process now, and we can't skip it.

Hideki turned around and unleashed a burst of power, creating a barrier several tens of meters high that completely enveloped the house of high school student Sota Mizushino.

At the same time, this force forcibly pushed all of them, including Mizuno Sata, back into the house, and locked all the doors and windows, preventing those outside from entering and those inside from leaving.

Until the outcome is finalized, Mizushino Sata and the others should stay here for now, otherwise they might be harmed or even killed by the human rulers who feel threatened.

Mirokuji Yuya gasped in astonishment: "This power is not even at its peak? Are you kidding me!"

To correct you, Hideki Go is indeed stronger now than he was during the day.

Although he still cannot transform, he has more power at his disposal.

While Hideki Go couldn't definitively say whether the combined power of this world could create an existence on par with the Ultra Brothers, he was certain that at least no virtual Ultraman Jack had yet been truly born.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to absorb the recognition power that was spreading throughout the planet towards Ultraman Jack and use it on himself as he did now, upon learning about the concept of recognition power.

The fact that such a strong sense of recognition for Ultraman Jack has never been used is enough to prove this point.

Although the power of recognition he borrowed was not enough to extinguish the shackles of the dark sparks binding him, it was enough to pry open a portion of them, allowing him to unleash a little more power.

At least we can create a few barriers that can withstand nuclear bombs without being breached.

Over the communicator, the superior's voice trembled: "Do you want to deviate from the path of Ultraman? Do you want to be an enemy of humanity? What a joke! Do you even consider yourself a giant of light?!"

"I am indeed sorry about this."

Hideki sighed and apologized. After all, no matter how necessary or how important the reason, what he was about to do was something that no Ultra Warrior in history had ever done before.

It could be said that they did bad things; objectively speaking, some of them did resemble the actions of an aggressor.

But let them curse all they want.

People have the right to condemn his actions, but even if seven billion people around the world condemn him for it, he will still do it.
