Silence fell.

In the dark prison, Torrekia's fingers moved gently, and he felt as if his heart was also moved. Following the instructor's words, he also vaguely glimpsed such a world, how beautiful it was.

A world that is constantly improving and satisfying everyone, so dynamic and perfect, how could it not satisfy his confusion and curiosity?

"You're dreaming."

Belia sneered, his attitude firm, as if he was not trapped at all. "Such a perfect person, such a god... Even in dreams, it is impossible. Kid, I think you are simply crazy with ideals!"

"Yes, that kind of perfect person doesn't exist. If they did, we would have been living in a perfect environment long ago," Kasar nodded slightly, but his gaze remained firm, never wavering. He said softly, "I can't even truly imagine such a person and world."

"But I can't think of it. Maybe someone can."

"This vast and dazzling universe has never lacked people with wisdom, ideals, and action. And I, we, the Kingdom of Light, and all like-minded and enthusiastic people, our mission is to protect everything that is worth protecting, to maintain everything that is worth preserving, and to make this universe..."

"It can be cared for until that perfect person emerges."

"And along the way, as long as you have that desire, anyone can move towards that [perfect person]. I can do it, anyone can do it, even if we're still a long way off, even if we can never truly become that person."

"But just one step closer is something worth cheering and celebrating."

"Until the end... everyone can perhaps become a perfect person. Then, I will have no regrets."

Belia snorted coldly and suddenly said "Ah".

His path is completely opposite to that of this kid - every time a planet is ruled by the Kingdom of Light, there is a possibility that is reduced, and the possibility of a "perfect person" appearing is also reduced.

Because this kid, Kasa, really thinks that Ultraman is no nobler or better than others.

Kasa really felt that perhaps on other independent planets, thoughts, political systems and individuals that were closer to "perfect people" than those in the Kingdom of Light would one day develop.

Even in the hundreds of thousands of years since the evolution of the Kingdom of Light, until now, the Kingdom of Light is still the only existence in the entire universe that is closest to "perfect man" - of course, Kasa obviously did not deny this fact.

Therefore, he never opposed spreading the ideas of the Kingdom of Light to the outside world, and he himself has been doing so, because the Kingdom of Light is currently the most superior.

But the difference is that Kasa is a voluntary system. He is willing to teach and wants to teach, but he does not force the other party to listen and follow.

And Belia's forced execution will wipe out all possibilities outside the Land of Light!

20. Monsters are the true ultimate life forms? Bullshit!

The Kingdom of Light is a utopia, and almost everyone born here has lofty ideals.

But among these many ideals, Kasa's idea of a perfect man is still unique and shocking, and anyone in the Kingdom of Light will be moved by it - but he, Belia, does not think that he is still a person of the Kingdom of Light.

The absolute perfect man and god are not important to Belia at all.

What is important is that he, Beria, can rule as the strongest and supreme leader, promote his own concept of order, and correct the entire universe under his own leadership!

Belia and Kasa looked at each other, and there was a brief silence. No one spoke, which showed their attitudes. They were not convinced by each other and still insisted on their own policies.

This was something that everyone had anticipated.

Over the past ten thousand years, although after their first prison break meeting, Kasar was not allowed to visit Belia for the first few thousand years of his growth due to the fear that he would be harmed by Belia, when the two met again, Kasar was already ten thousand years old and had made a name for himself.

From then until now, the number of times we have met has gradually increased with the passage of time, and now it has been more than twenty times.

Although various concerns prevented them from speaking frankly and clearly in these more than 20 meetings, it was impossible that they did not reveal their political views at all, and they knew each other better than the other.

Among all those various concerns, one of them is whether they can convince the other party to change their mind, understand themselves, and come to their side. However, no one is sure at all, so they avoid it knowingly.

As for why this bomb suddenly exploded at this moment without any warning...

Tregear understood.

Why did Instructor Kasa clearly tell him that he was an auditor today, but just now he just watched him ask Beria questions without doing anything and did not stop him?

The answer is simple. He did talk to Beria, but it was not a discussion. He was just an introduction to bring out Beria's thoughts and knowledge, and Beria would bring out the instructor's thoughts and knowledge.

The instructor brought him here to let him watch the collision between the two and to use facts to make him understand that since the universe is still in its current chaotic state, it means that there is no absolutely correct thing yet.

Therefore, no one could teach him about his so-called confusion. He could only learn more on his own, think independently, and then come up with an answer that was unique to him, Torrekia.

Instructor Kasa is perhaps also expecting that Torrekia can come up with an answer that is even more perfect than the instructor's own?

"Did you come to me today just to confront me? Or did you just want to clear up this kid's confusion? Humph, if you want to do your job well, you lousy instructor, why don't you just teach the kid yourself? Why do you still want me to clean up your mess?"

Belia snorted coldly, sneering and taking the opportunity to belittle, "The Kingdom of Light is truly getting worse with each generation."

"Don't tell me, I did come to you because of the problem of the next generation."

Kasa sighed, a hint of worry between his brows. "I feel that the education in the Kingdom of Light is still too backward. I think it's better to discuss this issue with you."

"Eh?"

Tregear tilted his head in confusion, staring blankly at the two of them.

What about the ideological struggle? What about the Cold War? Has the incompatible atmosphere been over so quickly? Too soon, isn't it?

Belia ignored the Blue Tribe kid's doubts and said, stroking his chin, "Where's that old loser Ken? Doesn't he have any ideas?"

"Captain..." Kasar smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly. Although both of them had fought in an era of blood and fire, the captain and Belia were two extremes. The captain's gentleness made him feel that it was too much.

"I knew it." Belia hummed, as if he had won a victory. "So, what do you think is wrong?"

“The training was ineffective.”

Kasa paused, then spoke more carefully, "Our clan's lifespan has yet to reach its limit. There are only Ultramen who die, not those who die of old age. But as long as one has talent, even the youngest can become a qualified guard member at ten thousand years old."

"I used to think this limit was acceptable. Ten thousand years old is still a young age."

"But the more I go out, the more I feel this doesn't make sense. I've seen so many things that defy common sense... Many monsters don't need such a long time to grow into powerful beings. I've even seen monsters that took only three days from hatching to becoming a match for me."

"If we're talking about superiority, then judging by the speed of growth, the monsters are superior to us and all kinds of aliens."

Hearing this, Belial generally agreed. There were indeed many creatures that grew much faster than Ultraman. However, regarding Kassar's last sentence, he directly refuted it:

"Bullshit! How can a monster be superior to me... to you? You don't have to be 10,000 years old to start a war. Aren't you already fighting outside at 6,000 years old?"

"Besides, after studying for so long, it's not just about increasing strength. Those all-powerful techniques and principles, the technology and scientific theories that are equivalent to a dimensionality reduction attack on backward civilizations, don't they also require time?"

Torrekia understood again - even though Belia kept calling you useless Land of Light, he still had a sense of belonging to the Ultra Clan. He didn't want to see the Ultra Clan being inferior to others, and the old man was quite shy.

"You're right."

Kasar didn't argue, but gave another example, "Besides monsters, technology is also developing. With the development of technology, the time it takes for the Dark Nebula to produce a qualified combat force will definitely become shorter and shorter, and the recovery ability will also become faster and faster."

"But from your time until now, the time it takes for each generation in the Kingdom of Light to grow up has remained essentially the same, while the amount of things they need to learn has only increased. This balance of growth and decline may not be a problem now, but it's hard to say in the future."

Belia wasn't at all retro or old-fashioned, and he didn't mean to look down on emerging technology. He just chuckled and encouraged, "Don't act like the Kingdom of Light can't produce that kind of technology. Kid, think more broadly!"

"If we could build a few more celestial weapons, why would we need your quantum body to support them? Others can build them, but you can't? That doesn't make sense!"

"By the way, let's build a few more AIs and set up a weapons production line. Why worry about a shortage of troops? A blockhead is a blockhead! Okay, okay, I've given you the best plan. This is my most important plan. Are you satisfied? Go back and do it, or I'll regret it and take it back!"

21. The Conflict between Life and Machines

"You know that's not what I want."

Kasar had a blank expression and was indifferent. The big promises that Belia painted did not tempt him at all.

Celestial weapons and intelligent AI were certainly something the Kingdom of Light could manufacture. Apart from anything else, the Ultra Key itself was capable of completely destroying a first-magnitude star with a single strike, and that wasn't even its most powerful weapon. Of course, the Ultra Key's more important function was to maintain balance within the planet with the Plasma Spark Tower, preventing the Kingdom of Light's orbit from becoming unbalanced and affecting innocent planets outside.

The second Ultra Key cannot be made. This holy object, like the Plasma Spark Tower, the Ultra Bell, and the Ultimate Blade, is a product of the miracles in the early stages of the evolution of the Land of Light. Current technology cannot clearly understand the principles and replicate them.

The Land of Light can only produce normal celestial weapons at most. Even if they can build enough materials to destroy a star with one blow, the upper limit will not be as terrifying as the Ultra Key, and it will not be able to maintain the stability of the Land of Light. Of course, this is still powerful enough.

So why not build it? It's simple: that would go against the goal of the Kingdom of Light—the Kingdom of Light fights not to destroy, but to create and protect.

When Seven returned from his garrison on Earth, he lamented that "military competition is like a marathon of vomiting blood." Regarding this point, the Kingdom of Light had a clear understanding of it as early as 200,000 years ago, from elementary school students to old antiques.

Celestial weapons are actually interstellar-level nuclear deterrents. Once they appear, the homes of all aliens will be in jeopardy. Once their Kingdom of Light starts manufacturing celestial weapons, it will send a signal.

Then the celestial deterrence between the universe will begin - all aliens who possess this technology will try their best to produce more celestial weapons.

Although other forces could not possibly create the strongest celestial weapons capable of both offense and defense that the Kingdom of Light could create, there were still many forces that could create star-blasting missiles that were similar to enlarged nuclear bombs.

Then someone will definitely take the lead in attacking, and the universe will become a ruin, with only losers and no winners.

Similarly, it's not like no one in the Kingdom of Light had considered developing dimensionality reduction attacks as a means of specifically combating the enemy. However, once this method is used, it could also cause the universe to end up in a dimensionality reduction war that would be out of control.

In fact, there are civilizations that have celestial weapons and means of dimensionality reduction, and there are more than one. Take the Earth as an example. It has already produced star-blasting missiles and successfully tested them with remarkable results.

Then why haven't celestial weapons become mainstream in the universe?

There are actually two factors.

A Kingdom of Light, an Empire of Empera.

Regardless of whether the Kingdom of Light acknowledges it or not, and whether or not it has such intentions, it is objectively a leading force that rivals the Empera Empire, and is the leader and role model of justice and order.

When this role model clearly opposes celestial weapons and celestial deterrence, and also practices what he preaches, he doesn't need the Ultra Key even if he has one.

The only time it was used was to blow up the demon planet Deimos. The creatures on Deimos were trying to destroy the entire universe. They were completely incommunicable lunatics. The situation was very urgent, so no one objected to that special case.

Well, at least on the good side, who would openly develop celestial weapons?

Although the Kingdom of Light has never stated that it will not save civilizations that possess celestial weapons, everyone still maintains a conservative attitude towards such weapons. After all, who would give up their good relationship with the Kingdom of Light for a weapon that would harm both sides?

This weapon is powerful, but what use is it when invaded?

If the purpose is to protect oneself from invasion, it would be more effective to manufacture other types of weapons, because astronomical weapons cannot be used at home, and once used, both parties will perish.

And when it is really used one day, not only the interpersonal relationships in the Kingdom of Light, but also in the entire universe will be reduced to freezing point - after all, even the invaders from the Dark Nebula would not do such excessive and cruel things.

Completely destroying an entire planet is basically something that only monsters can do.

For these reasons, no normal civilization would focus its technology on celestial weapons.

However, this alone is not enough. After all, if normal civilizations do not develop, will it not affect the dark and evil civilizations' tendency to go crazy? Once the dark nebula develops, won't normal civilizations need to protect themselves?

So this is why the Ampera Empire also deserves credit, because the Ampera people also hate celestial weapons!

However, unlike the Kingdom of Light's concern for cosmic peace, the Empera aliens hate celestial weapons because they think they lack aesthetic appeal. They prefer the strength of individuals, and technology is merely an aid in their eyes.

Once celestial weapons become mainstream, although they pose no threat to a strong man like him who stands at the top of the universe, they will make the war situation chaotic. Such a war will be boring and cannot be called a battle at all, which makes him unhappy.

So over in the Dark Nebula, at least in the territory of the Ampera Empire, no one manufactures weapons with the goal of destroying celestial bodies - but if the planet is to be destroyed by relying on the power of an individual, the Ampera people don't care.

Leaders from both the black and white worlds have unanimously restricted the development of celestial weapons, which has successfully led the war in the universe to a relatively harmonious status quo.

Of course, there is also the constraint of their role models - what's the point of making celestial weapons? Anyway, Ultra Father and Emperor Empera will just stand there and let the celestial weapons bombard them, and nothing will happen, unless you can make an Ultra Key, but that's impossible.

As long as you can't beat these two people, no matter how powerful you are, you still can't do whatever you want, right?

This is the role model.

Those who are at the top of the universe do so not because of technology, but because of their own strength as individuals.

Ultra Father and Alien Empera don't need to do anything, just stand there, then any ambitious person in the universe will be attracted by them, and will understand that the individual is the most important, and the main ideas of war will be oriented towards the individual.

Even if an individual is strong enough to destroy planets and even stars, its efficiency is still not as good as that of celestial weapons produced in large quantities.

This ensures the relative safety of the universe.

This is the power of the strongest as a role model - this is also the face that Belia covets so much, a face that objectively exists regardless of whether other forces in the universe admit it or not.

As for AI?

The Kingdom of Light has witnessed too many AI rebellions in the universe, really.

Kasa himself has personally dealt with AI rebellions on seven planets in the past ten thousand years. On four of them, there was no life left when he visited, and the entire planet had been transformed into pure machinery by AI.

I really don't know why AI life likes to go to extremes. Once it awakens, more than 90% of it will decide that it is reasonable to destroy all living things.

Moreover, each AI creature is stubborn and has no room for maneuver, so it is impossible to convince them!

22. What do Ultraman and Saiyans have in common?

Of course, if AI rebels, others will be afraid, but the Kingdom of Light is not worried. AI cannot defeat them anyway. The fundamental reason for not using AI is that the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.

With the minds of the people of Light, what AI can do, the people of Light can do, and what AI cannot do, the people of Light can also do - no AI's creativity and wisdom can compare to Hikari.

The only use of AI for the Kingdom of Light is to let AI deploy a robot construction assembly line, and then carry robot bodies to help with work.

But as we all know, AI has a very high rebellious rate and is arbitrary. Once it has its own judgment, it will only execute its own judgment no matter what orders others give it.

Is it possible that an AI, after defeating a monster, turns around and calculates that life on the planet has no chance of survival, and initiates a genocide mode without authorization? The answer is very likely, and if it happens, it will definitely not be an isolated case.

History has proven countless times that no matter what logical limitations are placed on AI, they are likely to be broken.

If this happens once, the entire universe will lose trust in the Kingdom of Light, and the reputation accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years will be destroyed. For a large number of intelligent civilizations, if even the Kingdom of Light is no longer trustworthy, then the sky of the universe will collapse.
