"You're not qualified to say that?" Belia said with a strange expression. "I think this kid is almost ten thousand years old. When you came here alone to find me, you were less than five thousand years old, right?"

"hiss!"

Torrekia gasped on the spot!

He knew that the instructor was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful and aggressive. Director Hikari always said that Torrekia was too crazy, but no matter how he looked at it, he was far inferior to the instructor's crazy behavior.

"None of that matters."

Kasa shook his head and immediately became serious. "As you know, the Baltic invaded a while ago. I did discover some things from that. I'd like to hear your opinion and views."

Torrekia, who was watching from the side, thought that based on his previous performance, Belia would scold the captain as a good-for-nothing and then scold the instructor, but at this moment, he did not do so. He just looked at the instructor with a focused gaze and listened patiently.

That gaze seemed to be thinking... In the blink of an eye, this brat has grown so big? So mature?

Is this really the Belia who almost spun the entire Kingdom of Light?

17. Verify Beria and make a grand debut

Noticing Tregear's gaze, Belia's face instantly became expressionless, but he felt that this was not enough and burst into a mocking laugh.

"Let me guess, kid, what are you thinking about? Are you wondering why the Balt people dared to invade the Land of Light? Or have you seen some flaws in the Land of Light during this war?"

Hearing this, before Kasa could answer, Tregear couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it normal for the Baltic people to invade the Land of Light? Is there anything wrong with that?"

"That's totally wrong, kid." Belia sneered dismissively. "Let me ask you, how does the Kingdom of Light compare to the Empera Empire in strength?"

"Hmm...right now, maybe the Kingdom of Light is stronger?" Torrekia thought for a moment and gave a reasonable answer. This was by no means arrogance or favoritism, but a comprehensive consideration of objective factors.

In terms of top combat power, Ultra Father and Emperor Emperor can cancel each other out, and the Four Heavenly Kings can tie with the four Ultra Brothers - at worst, they can add Gray or Neos.

The number of one million space guards is indeed much less than all the troops in the vast territory of the Anperla Empire, but it provides a lower limit in quality. The troops on Anperla's side are of varying quality and it is impossible for all of them to be elite. It takes several aliens or monsters to kill one guard.

Of course, even so, due to the absolute disadvantage in numbers, once a full-scale war breaks out, the Space Guard will inevitably be at a disadvantage - this was the case before the invention of life solidification technology.

But thanks to the legacy of the great Chief Hikari before his fall, the Kingdom of Light no longer needs to be afraid of the conventional army.

In this situation, Instructor Kasa and the few other frontline fighters who were not restrained by their opponents could easily find a breakthrough point on the battlefield and tip the balance of the stalemate towards the Kingdom of Light - of course, this was an optimistic scenario.

In fact, although the Anperla Empire did not show it externally, everyone knew that their high-level combat power could not be limited to the Four Dark Lords, so overall it was a 50-50 split.

Then why is the Kingdom of Light still dominant?

Well... that's something we need to ask the legendary criminal currently undergoing forced labor who doesn't look like he's fallen into darkness.

Still young and therefore very innocent, Tregear didn't have any ulterior motives. He spoke his mind directly, saying, "After all, if a fight breaks out, can we release Belia-senpai to help?"

"Bah! This damn Kingdom of Light has to fall to the point where I have to save it, so it might as well be destroyed!" Belia expressed his contempt on the spot.

"Um..." Tregear said cautiously, "If you're not included, then the difference is probably about the same."

"And then?" Beria asked.

Tregear was confused. "And what?"

Belia shook his head impatiently. "Since the two powers are almost equal in strength, has the Ampera Empire ever been coveted by a small-time wretch like the Baltic?"

It seems, it seems, eh, really not?

Torrekia thought about it carefully. So far, it seems that the only one who dared to directly fight with the Empera Empire and was clearly hostile to it was the Kingdom of Light.

Even the Galactic Federation and the Andrew Guard did not do so. Although there was a certain reason for the Andrew Guard because their main responsibility was to hunt down the remnants of the Gu'a Empire left by Zoda, it was also a fact that they did not declare war on the Anperla Empire.

The Kingdom of Light is the only one on the side of justice and order. As for the side of darkness... the last force that dared to declare war on the Empera Empire was 30,000 years ago. At most, there are only a few scattered people who dared to challenge the power of the Empera people, and then they were chopped into meat paste.

Thirty thousand years ago, on the eve of the invasion of the Kingdom of Light, the Empera alien had already become the emperor of darkness. Even though he was defeated and injured by the captain, no one dared to take advantage of the situation to challenge him and his empire.

Of course, this doesn't mean that no one dares to attack the Ampera Empire. Once invaded, various forces will naturally resist, but this resistance is forced.

In contrast, from thirty thousand years ago to the present, the Kingdom of Light has suffered countless invasions. Even the headquarters with a captain in charge has been repeatedly invaded by people who have plotted against them.

Isn’t this contrast too great?

"Why is this happening?" Torrekia couldn't help but mutter to himself. He had never thought about this before.

"Huh, you still don't understand? Are the Blue Tribe so bad now? They're not even as smart as that Silver Tribe brat Kasa. How stupid!"

Belia clicked his tongue in disdain. "Their styles—this is the fundamental reason. Furthermore, it's essentially because there's something wrong with the Country of Light's system and its ideology!"

"If the Kingdom of Light doesn't evolve through reform, it will always be in such a state of failure. That bastard Ken is just a coward, always turning a blind eye to this. He's such a complete loser!"

The number of times I heard the captain being scolded today was more than in the past ten thousand years combined, and it will probably be more than in the rest of my life combined. After all, no matter whether it is good or bad, apart from Beria, no one else thinks there is anything wrong with the captain.

Tregear felt a little numb.

But his curiosity drove him to continue the conversation: "What do you mean?"

Belia glanced at Kasa who did not stop him, paused for a moment, and without saying a word, immediately began to instigate and spread his own unique ideas.

But Tregear paused, finally gaining some understanding. He realized what Belia might say and said disapprovingly, "Are you trying to get the Kingdom of Light to follow the same practices as the Empera Empire? That won't do."

He also has some understanding of the Ampera Empire. If he has to choose one side, at least for now, Torrekia still recognizes his own side more.

Of course, there is another point. Since he has not yet found the result of his current confusion, it is natural that everything he knows does not meet his requirements. The political system of the Ampera Empire cannot satisfy him either. He also has no intention of listening to Belia bragging about the ideas and systems over there that he has already known about.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Belia sneered dismissively. "I admit that Ampera is a hero, but am I the kind of loser who would just parrot others' words?"

"Oh?!"

Torrekia sat upright, waiting and watching, full of anticipation and desire. It would be so cool to learn new knowledge!

He must listen carefully to what the perfect world looks like in the eyes of Belia, who has been involved in both the black and white worlds and has such complicated experiences.

18. The Land of Light? The Star of Light?!

"The reason why the Country of Light and the Empera Empire suffer such a huge disparity in treatment is fundamentally because the Country of Light lacks an iron-blooded approach. Furthermore, the fundamental reason is that the Country of Light is the good guys!"

"You're a good person, so you won't do anything to me if I make a mistake. You're a good person, so the cost of my failing to bully you is completely acceptable. You're a good person, so you deserve the moral shackles and reputational dilemma we impose on you unconditionally."

"You're a good person, so we can do whatever we want to you. The risk is hundreds, thousands, and even millions of times lower than the objective profit!"

"All life in the universe is like this. Regardless of whether their nature is good or bad, they will always seek benefits and avoid harm, following their instincts to maximize their own interests. Even if they know it's short-sighted, even if they feel they shouldn't do so, they will still do it in the end. This is how foolish mortals are!"

"If there is no perfect person to lead and drive out this kind of ignorance, it will never be suppressed!"

Belia spoke in an intense tone. Torrekia nodded repeatedly, feeling very excited. It was absolutely right, absolutely right!

He knew that all living beings were ignorant, but he had never thought about it deeply before. Now that the veil was violently lifted, he was fascinated. It was an unprecedented witnessing scene, and there was magnificent wisdom shining brightly ahead.

At this moment, after seeing his student's attitude, Kasa, who had been watching quietly, finally spoke: "But there is no perfect person in this world."

"To mortals, we Ultramen can be gods or perfect men." Belial turned his attention away from Tregear and replied to Kassar with a sneer, "I am a god, and I am also a perfect man!"

Kasa asked, "So what are you going to do?"

"A true hawk." Belia said without hesitation, "The justice and kindness promoted by the Kingdom of Light are too pedantic, inefficient, and often repetitive. Even if they save a planet and guide a generation of creatures on that planet, when they return a hundred years later, they will have long since changed, having thrown all these benefits and kindness behind them!"

"This fatal flaw can be completely eliminated, kid, you know that, right?"

"The recurrence of the situation is because the Ultraman who guided and led them has left, and the education has become intermittent. If we make this education continuous, we can reduce the probability of recurrence to a minimum."

"It's easy to do that. Just dominate!"

"Every time we save a planet, we bring it under the Kingdom of Light's rule. We will promote the Kingdom of Light's political system and ideology, bind it to the Kingdom of Light, and use the inertia of time to resolve all problems."

"If anyone is deceived and corrupted, a live broadcast will be broadcast throughout the entire territory of the Kingdom of Light. The surface of that planet will be reset and biological cleansed! Upward education and downward threats will be carried out simultaneously!"

"Be it a planet, a galaxy, or even a nebula, if they accept the compulsory education of the Kingdom of Light for a thousand years, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, or even longer..."

"Then even if the Kingdom of Light were to one day be destroyed and reduced to dust in the universe, this education would still have immense momentum and continue to spread. This is true enlightenment, and it will truly achieve our goal!"

Belia's sharp hands suddenly grasped the chains that bound him, and he unconsciously revealed an intoxicated expression as he imagined the world he had outlined.

After witnessing the overwhelming power of the Empera aliens and Ken 30,000 years ago, he has been extremely anxious to pursue power, wanting to obtain power equal to the two. Later, he was invaded by the residual soul of Rebrando, and his thoughts became more violent and irritable.

He only pursues power and doesn't need anything else except power. This stupid pig brain has not changed even if he was thrown into prison.

Until more than ten thousand years ago, a brat who was very confused about the Kingdom of Light and the order of justice escaped from prison and came in, ignoring his terrifying aura that was still full of murderous intent at the time, and asked him what he thought about all this.

And all his words of persuasion were actually unable to deceive a mere brat who was less than five thousand years old?

Whether he wanted to save face or was simply bored, from that day on, he resumed his thinking, which had been interrupted for tens of thousands of years.

Until today, until this moment.

Torrekia was greatly shocked. He was stunned for a long time. Yes, Belia's idea was really different from that of the Kingdom of Light and the Empire of Empera. It was really a person in prison who came up with a new idea that was feasible just by listening to it.

But this was not the most incredible thing. What was most puzzling to him was that Belia, who had been insulting the captain, did not oppose the underlying logic of the Kingdom of Light?

"It sounds like you still recognize the justice and kindness of the Kingdom of Light?"

"Why wouldn't I agree?" Belia glanced at Tregear. "What's disgusting about the Kingdom of Light is its weakness and pedantry. What's even more disgusting is that bastard Ken!"

Tregear understood and reacted.

Indeed, Belial had been the second-in-command of the Kingdom of Light for a long time. If he truly hated and opposed the underlying logic of the Kingdom of Light, how could there have been no major problems for nearly 100,000 years? Was it simply that his methods and attitude towards dealing with the enemy were too cold-blooded and ruthless?

No matter how good a person is at disguising himself, it is impossible for him to keep his true nature hidden for a hundred thousand years.

Even when he was inspired by Alien Empera and the Captain, all Belia wanted was to find the Plasma Spark Tower and a way to become stronger. Even if it violated the restrictions of the Kingdom of Light, he still sought the power of light, not demanding it from darkness.

It was only after he was discovered, punished and expelled from the Kingdom of Light that he calmed down for a while and was corrupted by Rebrand that he began to make truly extreme actions and fall into darkness, such as invading the Kingdom of Light and not recognizing his relatives.

All things considered, the fall into darkness was entirely caused by Rebrand?

When they invaded the Land of Light, could it be that Rebrand was controlling Belial's body...?

Even if he asked this question, Belia would definitely not be able to answer it. Torrekia shook his head and began to study the political system that Belia mentioned again.

Putting aside other things, in terms of efficiency, no matter how you think about it, it is indeed much stronger than the current Kingdom of Light.

Although this did not satisfy his confusion, it broadened his horizons.

So, will the instructor agree with Beria's idea?

Tregear looked at Instructor Kasa.

19. The Ideal of a Perfect Man: The Difference Between Beria and Kassar

Caught in the stark contrast of Belia and Tregear's gazes, Kassar remained calm. He pondered Belia's words for a moment, then asked in confusion:

"Do you think this is the perfect way to do things? I don't deny that it will help efficiency... but what about the drawbacks that arise? How do you plan to solve them?"

"If the superiors like something, the subordinates will follow suit. If the Kingdom of Light becomes the ruler, becomes a subordinate, and promotes our political system and ideology, then the ruled planets will implement it 100% to please us and gain more of our attention and protection."

"Then, what about those on those planets who, though kind, do not actively help others because they dislike trouble? And those who, though kind, do not agree with the ideas and political system of our Kingdom of Light and instead want to pursue their own innovations and research?"

"And those who aren't evil themselves, but are curious about darkness and want to learn about its history... There are far more than them. What are you going to do with them?"

"To curry favor with the Kingdom of Light, some on the ruled planets will inevitably go to extremes, forbidding all freedoms in all directions and forcing them to follow us in thought and action. This kind of education will only become like a rope, strangling all personal freedoms, and ultimately leaving only the walking corpse of the Kingdom of Light's educational achievements."

"Even though we can't allow this to happen, it's even more impossible for us to quickly detect and correct this error, and it's bound to happen, and the number of errors is unlikely to be small."

Once the ruling education policy was implemented, the consequences were completely foreseeable, and Beria knew it too.

But he wasn't stumped by the question. Instead, he spoke confidently, "Even if ten out of a hundred planets went to this extreme, the remaining ninety would still successfully move towards light. This is something the Kingdom of Light today is far from capable of. Can you deny this?"

Kasa nodded: "I have to admit it, but I still don't agree with your idea."

"Why?" Belia complained, his voice hoarse. "These ten planets weren't victims. They destroyed themselves. Planets that go to such extremes would still go to other extremes even if they weren't ruled by the Kingdom of Light. Is that why you dislike the rule of perfect beings?"

"On the contrary, if there really is a perfect person, a 'God', I really hope he can rule the entire universe."

Kasa was very serious and solemn, "But you are not a perfect person."

"To mortals, I am a perfect man and a god." Belia repeated his self-centeredness once again.

Kasa slowly shook his head: "Perfect man and God cannot be relative."

"If there is a perfect person in the world, then he should be perfect. No matter who he is, he will make me, you, and everyone else recognize him from the bottom of their hearts. He can make everyone respect him and respect everyone equally."

"His actions will make all creatures with self-intelligence, all creatures that can rely on themselves to overcome instinct, willing to give him a chance to negotiate. In that opportunity, he will be able to convince everyone without a doubt."

"Including the ignorant peasants in the backward civilization, including the Empera aliens who sit on the throne, and even the King of Ultra in the universe."

"He will unite all known and unknown beings. War will only arise between creatures that can change and those destined to destroy the world."

"His political system will never be wrong because he always keeps pace with the times. Whenever the current political system becomes incompatible due to factors such as the times or technological progress, he will have foreseen it in the last second and begin preparing to implement a more suitable political system."

"Under his leadership, all the people in the universe can live in harmony with each other while still maintaining their own uniqueness, freedom and individuality. A scene that has never appeared before will be born forever and will never fade."

"This is the perfect man, this is the world where God exists—I sincerely hope that such a perfect man will appear to rule."
