The hawks in the Kingdom of Light called me a dove undercover in the chat group

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "What is the time range for permanent residency?"

[Coward]: "Probably because you can't live there for decades at a stretch, right?"

Isn't that no problem at all!

Hikigaya Hachiman gritted his teeth on the spot and forced back the tears that were about to flow out. Damn it, he almost thought that Yuta Hibiki was completely unable to come to the world of his group friends to travel.

It was a close call, I almost got tricked into crying.

【Dead Fish Eyes】: “I thought it was something else!”

Dead Fish Eyes: "Hey, if you think about it, there's really no difference. You're still considered a normal Earthling, right? It's okay. I'm familiar with this. Before I got the chat group, I was always thinking about philosophy, but it's okay as long as I don't think about it too much. It won't stop you from coming to our world anyway."

[Movie Actor]: “I agree with this!”

Yotsuya Miko also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Dujuantai actually only had one flaw left.

[Best Actor]: "The only problem is that the Dujuan Terrace is too small."

[Coward]: "Regarding this, it seems that this isn't a problem anymore. Uncle Kasa told me that Gulit is an expert in the electronic world. As long as Akane Shinjo agrees, our world can be truly expanded by Gulit into a planet the size of Earth, and it will also be connected to the 2.5-dimensional universe."

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "Sounds like you're totally showing off, asshole!"

【Coward】: "Ah, is that so?"

[Movie Actor]: “It seems a little bit.”

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "You're showing off so much! You have to treat me to a meal when we meet next time. You have to treat me to the delicious food at Dujuan Terrace, or I won't let you go!"

【Coward】: "Then I——"

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "Huh? Yuta, where's he? Aren't you still talking?"

【Dead Fish Eyes】: “How come it’s gone all of a sudden?”

【Dead Fish Eyes】: "Is something wrong?!"

Chapter 157 Save me, Ultraman!

"Seventy-nine more people died in the security forces yesterday, Kasa. Your parents were among them."

That was the first time Kasa stepped into the Silver Grass Forest, a place known as the Cemetery of the Kingdom of Light, where the names of all Ultra Warriors were engraved.

The Kingdom of Light is always spotless, and even special cemeteries do not need gravekeepers. But there, Kasa still saw some old warriors who had been cut by the knives and axes of time. The scars on their bodies were still clearly visible after many years. Each of them had a permanent wound that was enough to ruin a warrior's career and affected his soul.

At that time in the Kingdom of Light, Hikari had not yet grown up, and life solidification technology was still just a beautiful vision.

The old soldiers who were forced to withdraw from the battlefield spontaneously served as gravekeepers of their dead comrades and gathered in this very unique forbidden area. They comforted every younger generation who came here because of the death of their elders or friends, and advised people not to indulge in grief.

At that time, Kasar was still a very young man.

He stood before his parents' tombstones for several days. Before leaving, he asked these weathered veterans, "What are we in the Kingdom of Light pursuing? What does it feel like to sacrifice everything for justice, order, protection, life, and morality?"

"Will you regret it when you die in battle?"

This was the question he wanted to know, but the veterans simply shook their heads and gave the same answer: "You'll get the answer when you step onto the battlefield yourself and personally protect a vulnerable life for the first time."

But he was still too young and was not allowed to leave the Kingdom of Light. At that time, the Kingdom of Light was engaged in external wars and was short of manpower. No one could spare the time to protect him while he went outside to have this kind of experience.

So Kasa could only ask more people, all the way to Ultra Father, but the answers he got were almost the same.

"Don't be impatient. Thousands or even tens of thousands of years from now, when your time comes, all these doubts will be finally answered. But for now, be patient and wait for that moment."

Not just the body, but also the mind.

Mature warriors like Ultra Father have clearly realized a fact after years of fighting and gaining experience.

If a child whose ideas have not yet been formed is sent to the battlefield, the danger comes far more than just the child's own weak strength that is insufficient to protect himself.

What's more, the bloodiness encountered early on may overly wash away the young values and minds, causing them to deviate from normal thinking and flow into the realm of madness and chaos, thus forming a completely distorted and unique self that can never be taught back.

Although such people have never appeared in the Land of Light—even when the Empera aliens invaded, the children of the Land of Light were basically protected instead of being sent to the battlefield.

But this situation is already happening too often on other planets.

As long as it can be avoided, the Kingdom of Light should always do its utmost to prevent such situations from happening, and should not relax its prohibitions in this regard just because it gambles on how pure and kind the hearts of the people of the Kingdom of Light are.

Therefore, at that time, no matter what, Kasa could not leave the Kingdom of Light, could not go to the battlefield, and at most could only wander around the Kingdom of Light, with his activities limited to the M78 nebula.

It was at that time that he realized that even if he was only in the vicinity of the Land of Light, he still missed a place and did not ask for advice, and that was the strongest warrior who was once as famous as Ultra Father.

After all, although the teachers at Ultra School would not publicize the existence of Belia during class, such a large Ultra Prison was placed at the gate of the Land of Light 365 days a year. If anyone was interested, they could find the corresponding information in the library.

Kasa was very curious. Could he give a unique answer to a prisoner like Belia who seemed to be against the Ultra spirit and different from the ordinary people of the Land of Light?

As for danger, he was not afraid. According to the history books, the most extreme actions Belia had ever taken were attempting to touch the Plasma Spark Tower and being possessed by Rebrand and sent back to the Kingdom of Light.

When he fought back to the Land of Light, before the King of Ultra appeared, he didn't even kill any people from the Land of Light. He just defeated the Ultra Warriors who tried to stop him.

So that's actually it.

And if he killed the Ultra Child who just came to him to ask a question and seek answers, it would just mean that Belial became more violent during his sentence and completely fell into darkness. Using him as a warning, the Kingdom of Light would directly execute Belial to avoid leaving this time bomb.

So the young Kasa secretly made a plan to allow himself to successfully avoid the guards and enter the Otto Prison.

……

"Illusion?"

Standing from a third-party perspective, Kasa calmly watched the passing scenes.

He was caught off guard and fell into such a real illusion. Had Akane Shinjo and Alexis finished making their monster?

"Are you trying to target my memories, find my inner weaknesses, and attack me mentally? But that's wrong. My repentance lies not here, but somewhere else."

Boom!

The crackling flames ignited, and the scene changed instantly. Thousands of years later, they arrived at a natural star full of greenery.

Here, the technologically backward local civilization gathered under the Mother Tree, praying for salvation from the gods, while the giant of light from the distant starry sky had fallen. He had only been in the Space Guard for a short time and was unable to match the ferocious monsters that roamed the universe.

The mutated oil monster Super Gabishiel.

This is a mutant monster that originated from an unknown planet. Its strength surpasses that of a normal Gabriel. It has also evolved the ability to navigate in space. Its physical strength and the temperature of the flames it spews out are extremely terrifying, making it difficult for people to resist.

This illusion perfectly restored the situation at that time, even the conditions in other places on the planet that Kasa had no time to pay attention to because he was in battle at the time, including the wailing and fear of the indigenous people were simulated.

The degree of completion is so high that it is more like traveling back to that day than a fantasy.

"Why can you just watch? Why can you be so calm? Why can you watch me lose, unable to save anything, yet you still have the audacity to pretend to be an Ultra Warrior and appear before me!"

Accusations came from all directions. That was the sound of Xin Tiao Qian's defense being broken. She appeared from nowhere and came here, looking at Kasa with gritted teeth.

This is a very fragmented scene.

The crackling flames that spread across the entire planet and the screams of the people on Avatar were all very intense, but Kasa and Shinjo Akane, as bystanders, seemed to hear nothing and confronted each other under the quiet starry sky.

"I have failed many times, but the most important thing is not to make the same mistakes again."

Kasar looked back at Akane Shinjo. He didn't show any dissatisfaction or condemnation towards this girl who used her unique monster to repeatedly bring up his painful memories. Instead, he said compassionately, "Failure is not a reason to escape. Come to me. You can do it, too, Akane Shinjo."

"Don't say such nonsense!"

Akane Shinjo growled, "How could I, how could I be that strong! If I could, I wouldn't be here!"

What have you been doing so far when I needed you the most? — The words that Xin Tiao Qian wanted to shout the most were like a lump in her throat, unable to come out.

She saw it all.

When she was happy, Kassar was saving a strange galaxy from destruction.

When she died, Kassar was guiding a half-dead civilization that had gone astray to the point where only one in a billion members were still sticking to the right path.

While she was escaping, Kasa fulfilled the wish of a wanderer who had lost his hometown to have a last meal on an uninhabited planet.

Not all efforts will be rewarded, and not every battle can achieve protection, but even so, he is still moving forward, always moving forward, without stopping for a moment.

Xin Tiao Qian choked and wanted to shout something, but before she knew it, the scenery around her seemed to have changed quietly again, from the flaming star of destruction to the ordinary and common Earth.

"—?!"

Xin Tiao Qian was stunned in shock. She saw herself.

She was still very young, just starting kindergarten, and was only a few years old. One day when she came home from school, her mother smiled and took out something as if to show off.

That's a box of discs.

The mother said that she heard that it was something that children generally liked to watch, so even though she had only heard of it, she wanted to see if Xiao Qian liked it.

"Ultra Operation No. 1" was the beginning of her enlightenment and also the source of her inability to extricate herself from the Ultra series.

Since then, she has grown up gradually, and as time goes by, her room is filled with more and more Ultraman toys and peripherals.

The overflowing collection of various Ultraman transformation devices is her favorite. She never gets tired of playing with them, just like she never gets tired of watching the Ultraman content that she has memorized by heart no matter how many times she watches it.

The turning point came in the third year of junior high school. The happy family went out during the holidays and was involved in a car accident. In order to protect their only child, the father and mother chose the same thing and died on the spot.

"Dad, Mom...Ultraman, Ultraman...Come quickly, Ultraman! Save me, save Dad, save Mom, come quickly, Ultraman——"

At that moment when he was almost fainting, his subconscious cries for help and shouts echoed in his ears again.

"don't want!!!!"

Xin Tiao Qian screamed and squatted down, covering her ears, closing her eyes, and her whole body was shaking.

Why, why would she play this? The monsters she created were only targeting Kassar, only targeting Ultraman, and she didn't give any orders to peek into her heart!

“Stop, stop now, Aa ...

But as she screamed, the picture became clearer. Xin Tiao Qian, whose parents had died, was heartbroken and could not get out of this shadow for the entire holiday.

She prayed countless times that she could go back to the time before the accident when she woke up, hoped countless times that she was dreaming, and murmured Ultraman's name countless times.

But the facts are there, Ultraman is just a fake special effects film, and there are no miracles in this world.

On the first day of school, she was still huddled in the house left by her parents. The only difference from the holidays was that all the Ultraman-related items in the house were broken in half, thrown into the trash can, and transported very far away.

That's when Alexis showed up.

"Zizi-"

The footage began to rewind and replay, but this time there was no complete playback. It only kept replaying the part where Xin Tiao Qian's parents were hit and killed.

Xin Tiao Qian, who was supposed to be a condescending bystander, was extremely pale and almost vomited.

At this moment, accompanied by a crackling sound like a broken mirror, Kasa finally broke through the cage barrier designed for him and came to the side of Xin Tiao Qian.

"No, no, don't do this to me!"

Xin Tiao Qian was still curled up, her whole body cold.

The next second, a warm body hugged her. The warm feeling seemed to dispel all her anxiety and panic in an instant, and her twitching stomach and intestines suddenly returned to health.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. You don't have to be afraid of anything this time, Xiao Qian."

Kasa spoke softly, gently stroking the girl's head with his big hand: "I finally understand what you are facing... It's really hard."

Shinjo Akane's tears flowed silently and she choked. Although she always said that her love for Ultraman had turned into hate, at this moment, her little hand had already taken the initiative to grab Kasa's sleeve without even realizing it.

"Save me, Ultraman..."

Xin Tiao Qian cried out with sobs, and shrank towards the warm sun that embraced her.

"Ultraman is here."

Kasa responded gently and softly, enunciating each word, to the call for help that came more than a year late.

Xin Tiao Qian's tense body began to relax, her breathing was no longer rapid, her hands no longer covered her ears, and her eyes opened again.

The noise of the car accident was still being repeated, but no matter what kind of noise it was, it seemed like just a tsunami, completely isolated by the Ultraman that was standing here, and even controlled and affected, becoming intermittent and difficult to continue repeating.

Akane Shinjo was still complaining coquettishly: "Why did you come just now? Why so late? I obviously like you so much, I like Ultraman so much!"

Kasa wanted to apologize, but he knew that instead of an apology, this girl who had opened her heart might need another answer: "I'm here now."

"Will you really protect me?"

Xin Tiao Qian seemed to have given up resistance and murmured softly.

"That's my duty."

Kasa said softly: "But no matter what you encounter, running away will only make your life and future more chaotic. Try to raise your head again, okay? Give it a try, and move forward with me, okay?"

"Now, is it too late?"
