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

Shui Xiaosa froze, opened her mouth, but remained silent.

Altair's rebuttal and sarcasm left him speechless and riddled with holes.

Hideki Go sighed softly.

Altair's argument is just sophistry; everyone's character is different.

Some people go mad and want to destroy the entire world so that their loved ones can die of old age.

There are also those who, even when all their most beloved lovers are persecuted to death, remain incredibly calm, focusing first on the bigger picture before taking orderly revenge without harboring any resentment.

There is no doubt that Mizushino Sota owes Shimazaki Setsuna a debt, but there is also no doubt that his feelings for Shimazaki Setsuna are genuine.

However, Altair was right about one thing.

That is, Shui Xiaosa shouldn't have said such things now. He should have first put himself in Altair's shoes, thought about things from Altair's perspective, and then offered these objective suggestions after Altair calmed down.

Originally, Hideki Go didn't intend for Sota Mizushino to start things, but Sota said he wanted to give it a try, which is why things turned out this way.

After all, it was this young man's desire to atone for his sins.

However, it seems that Sata is still too inexperienced, both in terms of empathy for others and in negotiation and debate.

But this won't have any fundamental impact.

Because it's his turn now.

Hideki Go took a step forward, shielding the distraught Sota Mizushio behind him. He studied Altair for a moment, then said earnestly, "It seems your mother has indeed left you with fine virtues, Altair."

Military Princess Altair was taken aback: "What...did you say?"

“We have already investigated,” Hideki Go said, listing the data. “The people who cyberbullied Setsuna Shimazaki have been identified, but they are all still alive and well.”

"Based on the ability called 'All Things Under Heaven' that can rewrite reality, countless derivative works have given you countless kinds of abilities, including the ability to investigate the internet. With your abilities, it's been so long, there's no way you couldn't find out the true identities of those rumor-mongers."

But those people are still alive and well.

This means that although Altair looked ferocious when she made harsh remarks to Shui Xiaosa, she hasn't even killed all the perpetrators involved, let alone expanded the scope of the conflict.

Before his death, Setsuna Shimazaki gave Altair a wonderful character design.

If Altair were truly a villain, capable of such ruthlessness, he would have already gone on a killing spree. There would be no need for him to go through the trouble of searching for different worlds and bringing different characters over.

Those characters were no match for her in terms of combat power; she didn't actually need these helpers at all.

Similarly, based on our research into Setsuna Shimazaki's life, her favorite works and favorite characters are immediately apparent.

"Seleja Yubittia from *The Knight of the Spirit Machines*, Meteora Estrella from *Reminiscence of Avaken*, and Mamika Kiraki from *Magic Killer Mamika*..."

Setsuna Shimazaki's favorite works and characters were those whom Altair brought into reality.

Rather than seeking help, Altair was simply engaging in a reminiscence.

She wanted to bring these characters, which her mother loved most, into the world where her mother once lived. She tried to catch the moon's reflection in the water, hoping that this might make her deceased mother feel better and happier.

"!"

Altair's pupils constricted sharply!

She never imagined that everything she had done, her innermost thoughts, and everything she had imagined would be discovered so easily.

Showa no Hiroto possessed a pure empathy for all things, for other life forms, and for other creatures, along with a keen ability to observe and a rich capacity for imagination.

All three factors combined led to a truth that others, even from a purely utilitarian perspective, couldn't comprehend, which was revealed by Hideki Go in just one night, without a single flaw.

"You actually know what Shimazaki Setsuna was thinking before he died, don't you?"

There are many characters more famous than Altair, but why is Altair the first character to be able to descend into the real world?

Because what she carried was Shimazaki Setsuna's purest thoughts and most sincere love at the moment of his death.

As Shimazaki Setsuna was being run over by the train, she must have been thinking that Mizushino Sota could love her last work, her most beautiful, her favorite, and her most cherished "daughter," just as deeply as she did, and that she could live happily ever after.

Her hopes for her daughter Altair transcended life and death, reality and illusion, which led to the current situation.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up—!!"

The princess Altair's hands trembled, and she could barely hold her sword.

Blown by each and every word, every second she thinks of the tragic scene of her mother's death, yet at the same time, she also thinks of her mother's peaceful dying moments and her boundless love for her.

These conflicting memories left her unsure of what to say or do.

All she knew was that she had seriously underestimated the true Warriors of Light!

If saying these things to her was a conspiracy, a calculated move, or a premeditated scheme, she wouldn't be so helpless.

However, she didn't even need to do any investigation to know who Hideki was in front of her.

This man truly did not have any drafts. He did not collect those materials to target her, but rather out of pity for Shimazaki Setsuna and out of his deep love for the world. He only thought of these words and spoke them on the spot.

How exactly do they want her to respond?

Does that mean she deserves to let go of her hatred?

"Don't come any closer! Don't come near me! Stop talking!"

The war princess Altair trembled, pointing her sword at Hideki Go, "What good are all the things you say? Can you really bring me back in an instant?"

"Setsuna is already dead. I have no interest in distinguishing right from wrong. Or are you suggesting that you can use life-fixation technology to revive Setsuna more than a year after his body was cremated and buried? Hideki Go!"

The struggling military princess Altair shouted out in a loud voice, her last words filled with a deep hope that she herself was unaware of.

But that hope was shattered in the next second.

“That’s impossible,” Hideki Go refused on the spot. “I didn’t bring any lives with me this time. Let alone whether it complies with the rules of the Land of Light, even if it does, I can’t do that right now.”

The eyes of the military princess Altair began to turn vicious: "Then—"

"So, are you willing to give it a try, Altair?"

Stagnant.

Hideki Go's words carried a blatant implication, causing Altair's angry outburst to stop before it could even escape her throat. She stared blankly at Hideki Go, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"What...does this mean?"

“It’s exactly what you mean,” Hideki Go looked at her as an equal, “The miracle of resurrection does exist without the need for life solidification technology.”

"That's impossible, the power of recognition isn't that strong at all!" Military Princess Altair instinctively tried to retort.

Although not the first character to be born through the power of recognition, it was the first character to come into the real world through the power of recognition.

With such a special identity, Altair's understanding of the power of recognition is far deeper than that of others. She knows very well that the power of recognition can at most resurrect people in the created world, and can never resurrect people in the real world.

Even if she creates a work about Shimazaki Setsuna now, creates a character design exactly like the real person, and then it spreads widely on the internet and is recognized and accepted, making an exact replica of Shimazaki Setsuna appear.

That would just be a copy of a new Shimazaki Setsuna.

Even if this new Shimazaki Setsuna is exactly the same as the original in terms of memories, personality, and everything else, it doesn't change the fact that the original was not resurrected, could not be resurrected, and the clone is indeed not the original.

Similarly, even if the power of recognition could create a character capable of reversing life and death, once that character came to the real world, it would never be able to resurrect real-world creatures.

Otherwise, she would have already gone to find a character with low combat power but the ability to revive.

This is the greatest limitation of acknowledging power: God can never create a stone that He cannot lift.

In response to Altair's denial, Hideki Go laughed: "The power of admission alone might not be enough, but what if I were added to it?"

But what if I'm included?

And what about me?

boom!

Hideki Go's short sentence struck Altair's heart like a heavy hammer, making her eyes widen and leaving her completely stunned.

Yes.

I see!

A fake Ultraman may be limited by his power of recognition and unable to create miracles, but what about the real warrior of light, the real Ultraman?

The military princess Altair was already incoherent: "You, you can..."

“It’s not me,” Hideki Go corrected, “it’s us, you and me, and many more people, people all over the world.”

"I can't give you any guarantees. Whether the final result will achieve your desired goal is something I don't know either. The only thing I can tell you is that if you don't work hard, you will definitely get nothing."

So, are you coming?

Hideki Sō took a few steps forward, approached Altair, raised his hand, extended it, and offered, indicating that he was ready at any moment.

Military Princess Altair was in a state of turmoil. Looking at Hideki Go's outstretched hand, she felt a rare moment of fear. "Hideki Go, Ultraman Jack... what exactly is your plan? What are you trying to do?"

Faced with this question, Hideki Go didn't mince words and answered directly: "It's very simple, I want to eradicate the power of recognition."

"Huh?!" Shui Xiaosa, standing to the side, was completely taken aback.

This doesn't fit his impression of Ultraman or the Giant of Light.

No matter what unique talents a race has, as long as they are not like those of the Bogaru race, Ultraman should not take them away. Why is it like this now?

"This is a complete disaster."

Knowing the doubts in Mizushio Sata's heart, and knowing that the satellite was pointing at them and countless profiles were recording every detail of this conversation, Hideki Go explained everything clearly, word by word.

"As long as a work circulates widely enough, a real world will be born, with an acclaimed power like that of a god. However, this will not bring any benefit to the people of this Earth."

"From millions of years ago to the present, you humans have not received any benefits from the power of recognition. Instead, you have reached the present by relying solely on your own hard work and progress. On the contrary, the power of recognition has now led to the drawbacks of the chaotic world of Altair."

"However, this is only the most superficial aspect."

"In places unknown to people, how many tragic and dark worlds have been forced to be born in this universe so far because of the power of recognition, due to the imaginary works created by humankind?"

"I'm afraid they've long since become too numerous to count."

"If this continues, with more works, more tragedies, more worlds, every human being on this planet will only become a blood-stained murderer."

"I absolutely will not allow that kind of thing!"
