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

Back in the Showa era, he should have had the opportunity to protect that innocent and pitiful alien, Metz.

It was because he was bound by excessive principles at the time and couldn't bring himself to take action against those troublemakers of the Showa era that the tragedy ultimately occurred.

Although he knew that the main responsibility did not lie with him, from a certain perspective, the reason that tragedy occurred was that he was unwilling to take on some of the more violent responsibilities.

The so-called trade-off is nothing more than temporarily sacrificing one's own reputation, but being able to protect more people and prevent others from being killed by oneself. This is actually a win-win solution.

The incident with the Metz aliens was irreversible because Hideki Go couldn't bring himself to be ruthless enough.

But now, he has learned from his past mistakes and knows when to make a clean break.

"Well then, let's begin."

The announcement has been issued.

The next second, the fully armed soldiers realized that Hideki Go had vanished!

Although it sounds like a commonplace scene, for ordinary Earthlings who were just a few days ago, the sense of disorientation brought about by such a teleportation scene is indescribable.

First, there's the address of the chubby, comical uncle. Hideki Go had already casually asked Takashi Matsubara about that address, and this was his first stop.

The address was fixed, and suddenly they appeared outside the door. Hideki even knocked on the door politely. The chubby, comical uncle carefully opened the door, and out came the protagonist of the author he was in charge of.

At the same time, Hideki Go also spotted the Gundam mecha hidden in the nearby stadium.

This Gundam is strong enough to be compared to a tank or an aircraft, but it would still be destroyed if it were targeted by a large number of high-yield missiles.

Moreover, Gundams are indiscriminate in battle and will kill people.

So don't get into conflicts with people in real life, just wait one night.

Hideki exchanged a few brief pleasantries with the two, simply explaining that he wanted them to be patient and that he would be confined for one night. He then created a barrier to protect the two of them and the Gundam mecha.

After finishing this task, the next stop is the police station.

In Japan, police stations have individual addresses for each person.

Of course, more importantly, in order to avoid accidentally enforcing the law against high-ranking officials, the police station keeps a book with the residential addresses of various high-ranking officials, and they are extra careful when it comes to those places.

Hideki Go declined to comment on this corruption for the time being. As an Ultra Warrior, he had no right to get involved in this matter. What he needed was to use this notebook to directly pinpoint the whereabouts of the high-ranking officials in Japan.

Once this is determined, the rest is quite simple.

Hideki Hideki went to the locations of various high-ranking officials one after another, bringing them all together and concisely explaining all the necessary information and the current situation.

After forcibly bringing these people together, give them some time to accept the situation, allowing them time to think things through and process what they've learned.

During this period, Hideki Go first traveled to other countries around the world, taking the same steps and eventually spending some time to bring all the necessary high-level officials together.

The meeting point was naturally protected by barriers, preventing outsiders from entering and thus avoiding interference or influence.

If it were any other character, the high-ranking officials from various countries would likely not recognize him. However, when Hideki Go mentioned that his identity was "Ultraman," he saved himself the trouble of explaining and made the officials understand the situation immediately.

All the high-ranking officials from various countries have witnessed Hideki Go's abilities. With the nuclear button not at their fingertips, most of them chose to play it safe and remain obedient for the time being.

Although there were one or two, it's unclear whether they were short-tempered, fearless, or wanted to test how much power Ultraman would have in the real world.

In short, even though Hideki Go did not cut off communication, someone still issued an order to launch several intercontinental ballistic missiles aimed at this location, whose power was in no way inferior to that of nuclear bombs, except that they were pollution-free.

As a result, high-ranking officials from various countries were forced to witness that when humanity's most powerful weapon struck the barrier erected by Hideki Go, it had no effect whatsoever, performing much like a firework in front of Ultraman.

What else is there to say?

The smiles on the faces of the high-ranking officials from various countries instantly became even more pronounced.

Although they knew that Ultraman wouldn't ask for flattery, he wouldn't let you go just because you were guilty or because you were obsequious, nor would he do anything to you just because you were innocent but disrespectful to Ultraman.

But they were afraid of dying. Even though they knew it was something unrelated, they still made the effort to do it to put their minds at ease.

At the same time, these people were completely at a loss.

"This doesn't fit the image of Ultraman, damn it! Is this still the Ultraman character I know?"

"If it were Seven, no matter what needs we have, Seven would never force us in the slightest. After all, we humans are not invaders and have never persecuted the Nonmalt aliens."

"What exactly is Hideki Gou thinking?"

"We shouldn't have offended him, right?"

"Don't look at me like that. Although I sent people to arrest him, I only wanted to arrest them and keep them under surveillance. I never intended to harm them in the first place!"

The group of high-ranking officials looked at each other, exchanging glances and no one said a word. They were all exchanging winks and subtle hints.

In the end, everyone worked together and managed to bring the Japanese executives to justice.

In any case, the characters from the created world that appear in reality are from your Japan, and the characters that have appeared so far are all from Japan.

Although Hideki Go stated that "the power of recognition is something that all humans in the world possess, and there is no situation where one person has a high power while another person has a low power."

However, since other countries haven't produced any materialized characters yet, nor have they produced any characters with the creative power of other countries, the blame definitely falls on Japan!

With long faces, the Japanese executives had no choice but to ask helplessly, "Mr. Go, what exactly are you trying to do by going to all this trouble, making yourself look like an invader?"

"Two aspects."

Hideki Go, of course, didn't play the riddle game and said directly and seriously: "First, I want you to cooperate with me unconditionally on one thing, which is to issue a document immediately starting tomorrow, prohibiting any creator from creating new dark-style stories."

"Furthermore, for ongoing dark-themed works, you must send personnel to supervise and force them to revise all subsequent outlines starting tomorrow, in order to steer the story towards a better direction while gaining audience approval and remaining logical."

"I don't expect drastic changes all at once. I just hope that it can become, for example, a horror story where all the humans who appeared were to be wiped out, but now everyone survives and escapes successfully, but the culprits, such as zombies, ghosts, and evil spirits, can be spared from being killed."

If the culprit is killed, it's no longer a horror movie; the shift is too drastic and it's unlikely to be accepted by the audience.

However, as long as the culprit is still around, even if no character dies and they all escape death, readers will only complain that it's ridiculous, but they will still appreciate the work and believe that the culprit will eventually succeed in killing someone.

Keeping the culprit alive is indeed a threat, but that's not important. What Hideki Go needs to do now is to race against time and ensure that the good and innocent people in each of the dark-themed worlds survive.

As for the culprit, he will have to find other ways to get rid of him. He can't expect to get rid of the culprit through all his works worldwide, as that would only incite rebellion among global audiences and have a negative impact.

"In addition, you should also send people to supervise those dark-style works that have already been finalized, so that the authors can produce a new 'if' scenario as soon as possible."

"To create an 'if' scenario where people also survived the catastrophe, and to publicly declare that perhaps this is the true history, and that this may actually become the true history."

"Even works that are not dark in style should have their death toll and tragic scenes significantly reduced starting tomorrow. If a logical plot can be made where no one dies, that would be even better."

"Even if we can't do it, we must do it!"

Hideki Go's requirements were very clear and straightforward.

At this point, the leaders of various countries finally understood why the mighty Ultraman would engage in such a coercive act that seemed to completely violate the spirit of Ultraman!

Human life in the created world is also life—this is something that these high-ranking people in reality don't feel at all, can't empathize with at all, and haven't thought about at all.

But in Hideki Go's eyes, all of those were human lives, one-to-one equivalent to real human lives.

Every second that passes, countless innocent people are being harmed in this dark world that has been transformed into reality. Just thinking about this makes Hideki Go restless and unable to eat or sleep, his heart bleeding.

For the people on this earth, these are nothing more than virtual entertainment products.

But given their innate talent for recognition, every tragedy created by these people translates into immense suffering in the created world that has actually been born!

People do find it difficult to empathize with these things, or rather, they are simply incapable of empathizing at all.

But Hideki Go is an option.

So, should we allow Earthlings complete creative freedom, or stifle their creative freedom in order to save as many created worlds as possible first?

This is clearly not a multiple-choice question.

When Hideki learned of these things, it was already destined that he would do this: for the first time, he used violence and coercion to force the high-ranking officials of various countries to obey his orders.

Forcing all creators worldwide to produce non-tragic, non-desperate, and non-dark storylines in the days to come is something that can only be accomplished by the concerted efforts of top leaders from various countries and the combined power of the authorities.

No matter how powerful Ultraman is, he can never do this without mind control over everyone on Earth.

This is why Hideki Go went to such extremes and did something that is neither noble nor righteous.

"We understand..."

After figuring out why Hideki Go did this, the leaders of various countries all looked bitter. Did they have any other choice?

Since Gui Mandu preferred to use violence to force them, they had no choice but to follow him!

Volume 1: 548. The Root of All Evil, the Culprit

548. The root of all evil, the culprit

Gui Man is indeed a very good person, and that remains unchanged even now.

However, because there are too many suffering beings in the world now, he is forced to compromise and resort to radical measures to improve the situation as quickly as possible. This proves that in Hideki Go's eyes, things have become so serious that they are no longer as mild as they usually are.

So, if they still refuse to obey orders now, or outwardly comply but inwardly defy them, how will Gui Man deal with them? Nobody wants to gamble on that.

There are stubborn people, but even the most stubborn person wouldn't risk their life to oppress creators, since it's not like they're taking away their power and status.

Let creators around the world suffer; let them bear the blame.

"However, even if we all oppress all the creators, it's impossible to hold out for too long."

However, although they were forced to agree, some senior executives clarified and made a prior statement: "No matter where you are, although most creators are spineless cowards who are afraid of the iron fist, there must also be some who are not afraid of death."

“In their eyes, our actions are nothing short of oppression. It might be alright in the short term, but if they can’t see any hope and their complaints are useless, then some of them will definitely choose to rebel, create dark-style works in private, and then circulate them secretly.”

"The longer this goes on, the more of these will appear. And because there is a lack of dark-style works, even if these new works are only circulated privately, their recognition will definitely skyrocket. In that case, it might backfire."

No matter how much power they have, those in power cannot control everyone's personal freedom and mind.

Where there is oppression, there will be resistance.

Although this was not actually oppression, but rather a good deed, for ordinary readers, viewers, and creators who are unaware of the truth, it was undoubtedly oppression, and there will always be someone who resists.

However, they cannot reveal the existence of the "Acknowledgment Power" to the outside world, otherwise things would fall apart.

Never overestimate people's average moral standards.

Given that everyone in the real world possesses this special talent, there are likely two possible scenarios.

One is to launch a carnival for the audience, where a large number of people will choose to actively acknowledge some works that are difficult to talk about.

Phrases like "[The world's wealth will decrease by a factor of ten thousand, but mine will remain unchanged]", "[The whole world is full of beautiful girls, and they are shameless, willing to have sex with any man]", "[I am a princess, all other women in the world are unwanted green tea bitches, and all the handsome men in the world will only cherish me and hold me in the palm of their hands]"...

Works like these.

Then, one comes to accept that the rules and characters in these works will come to life on Earth, and looks forward to living that kind of life.

The other is that everyone, even those who are not creators and have no ability to produce works, will immediately start creating frantically, trying to create their own works and then bring them to life.
