I once believed that light could drive out all darkness.
I used to believe that kindness and courage could solve all problems.
I once believed that if everyone was kind, they could create a better world.
But the rules of the universe are not like this!
Objective laws will not be shaken by personal will.
I used to think that there was nothing in this world that could not be achieved with hard work.
But when the truth was revealed, I realized that even light has places it cannot shine.
Even Ultraman has things that are beyond his ability, let alone tiny humans.
If the universe requires me to give up my bottom line, to have my hands stained with blood, and to become cold-blooded and ruthless in order to protect innocent people, what should I do
The most cruel thing in this world is not facing a terrible enemy, but paying an unimaginable price to protect those poor people!
Fighting does not make people despair.
Only by choice.
... ... ... ... ... ...
In the vast starry sky, only coldness and darkness are eternal.
No matter how huge something is, it will seem very small when placed in the void.
A planet that can support billions of humans is just a speck of dust in the universe.
Tiga, the incarnation of Daiko, was flying alone in the dark void.
The truth revealed to him by Ultraman Titus was truly shocking.
Endless evil and war that lasts for countless years.
There are mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Even Ultraman will become a victim of the war.
In that endless void, countless debris were floating.
There are many powerful Ultramen among them.
They possess power comparable to that of gods.
But in the end, they could not escape death, and they had no way to keep defending what they wanted to defend.
The Kingdom of Light was destroyed by traitors, and the survivors were scattered everywhere. The light in the universe is in danger.
The dark frenzy will sweep across the entire universe.
Why should he protect humans
Even if everyone on the Victory Team tried their best, how long could they last in that terrible tide of darkness
One second
One minute
One hour
one day
One month
Even if he and the Victory Team could defeat one monster, two monsters, three monsters, or even a hundred monsters.
But out of the darkness a thousand monsters, ten thousand monsters will run out.
Could they still win in a battle like that
Can they fight against countless monsters
What’s even more terrifying is that in addition to monsters, there are also Ultramen who use the power of darkness and defect to the traitors of the Kingdom of Light.
Their power is so strong and terrifying.
He also possesses a cunning mind and a vicious heart.
Dagu felt confused.
Can he really protect humanity
Can love and kindness resist the terrible darkness
Can love and kindness make those monsters give up destroying humans
Can love and kindness allow those who desire happiness to survive
When he returned to Earth, Da Gu ended his transformation and returned to normal human size.
The time that can be spent in the void is much longer than on the surface of a planet.
It is possible that the gravity of the planet hindered the power of light, making it impossible for Ultraman to move for a long time.
Dagu did not do in-depth research on this.
He just knows how to use the power of light, transform into Ultraman Tiga, and defeat those monsters.
Dagu chose to land in a prosperous city.
He was very upset.
Ultraman Titus revealed to him a cruel cosmic truth.
It also put him in a dilemma.
He wanted to seek inspiration from Captain Iruma Kei, but if he did that, he would most likely end up on the side of the Empire.
In doing so, he betrayed the Victory Team.
They are still waiting for me to bring Ultraman Titus back, so that the power of the Land of Light can intervene and restore the world to its previous peace.
Even if Daigu told them that the Kingdom of Light had been destroyed and that a dark tide was about to come, they would not believe it.
The various detection instruments currently available in human society can only allow humans to maintain vision within the light cone.
That is to say, only when light enters the observation equipment can humans know what is happening in the universe.
There is a saying in the scientific research community that is very appropriate to describe today's human beings.
Destiny lies within the cone of light.
The speed of light propagation is cone-shaped on the time axis, which physicists call the light cone.
People outside the light cone cannot understand what happens inside the light cone.
If a star explodes, the light from this event will spread in all directions.
Only when these lights enter human eyes do humans know that a star has exploded.
If we hadn't received that light, humans wouldn't know that the star had exploded and would think that the star was still there.
There are countless events in the universe flying towards humans at the speed of light.
If it was within the range of a planet, it would only take them a few seconds to find out.
But the universe is so huge that it takes light several years or even decades to cross the vast void.
Da Gu didn't know how to convince the members of the Victory Team.
I don't know how to explain this to them.
Deliver the horrible information directly to the members of the winning team.
Can their fragile minds bear it
Will the terrifying darkness that subverts everything poison their minds
It wasn't that Da Gu intentionally belittled the members of the Victory Team.
After spending such a long time together, he knew very well that the members of the Victory Team were just a group of ordinary people.
Their horizons were limited to the solar system, or even Earth.
Compared with ordinary people, this height is already excellent.
There are too many people in this world who live in their own little world and are immersed in the virtual network.
This small world may be just a small city or even a few streets.
They may not even know how many towns there are in the city where they live.
Now, mankind is facing an unprecedented dark tide.
Human beings are as fragile as a small boat in a storm. If we are not careful, we will be overturned.
Dagu had a worried look on his face.
He now has two choices.
Either betray Lina, Munakata, and Horii, and assist Captain Iruma Megumi.
Or just turn a blind eye to the impending disaster and keep your heart.
Dagu walked aimlessly.
The bustling city is shrouded in darkness, with neon lights flashing.
People walking on the streets are full of joy.
There are also various kinds of fireworks in the sky.
The gorgeous fireworks brightened the entire sky.
People are celebrating an ancient festival.
They laughed and talked excitedly about the various activities.
Everyone was smiling and having fun with their companions.
"Uncle, why are you so sad?"
A child of four or five years old looked at Dagu.
So cute and adorable, and those eyes are as shiny as black gemstones.
The innocence revealed in it.
Soft, short-cut black hair.
The chubby little face is so tender and cute that people can't help but want to pinch it.
The child holds a handful of balloons in his hands.
"Don't be sad, I can give you a balloon."
The child clumsily took out a balloon from the handful in his hand and handed it to Da Gu.
"This is my favorite hair dryer piggy, it can cheer you up."
"Uncle, no need." Da Gu smiled at the child and declined the gift. "Why are you here alone? Go find your parents."
"I can't find my parents. Grandma said they were trampled to death by a monster and Ayun can't find them anymore."
A child's words are so pure.
But it made Dagu feel an unspeakable grief.
He was about to say something when he saw an elderly woman running towards him hurriedly from a distance.
It's obviously a troublesome child.
She saw the child in front of Dagu and walked over quickly.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
The woman was very polite.
Her hair was mostly gray with hints of light gray.
The skin is loose and full of wrinkles.
He looks very thin and in a bad mental state.
Wearing a grey sweater and black trousers.
The fatigue and sadness on his face could not be concealed.
"Is he your grandson?" Dagu asked.
The old woman nodded. "Yes, it's my grandson. This child always wants to come out to look for his parents and grandfather. I have told him many times that he can't find them, but he still doesn't believe it."
"They all died at the hands of monsters." Da Gu asked.
The old woman looked sad. "The child's parents were on a business trip when they were attacked by a monster and they didn't make it out. When his grandfather learned about the situation, he suffered a heart attack and died as well."
"I'm sorry." Da Gu apologized to the old woman, "Forgive me for asking such a rash question."
"It doesn't matter." The old woman said, "It will be easier to talk about the sad things."
After a brief conversation, the old woman took the child away.
The balloons also floated away with the children.
Dagu stood there and watched the old woman and the child leave.
Which is more important, his morality or these innocent people
After a moment, he gave up the idea of continuing to wander around the city and wanted to ask the last answer.
If the world needs a ruthless Tiga, he will do it.
Being a kind person is what I want.
But I also want to protect those kind people.
If you can't have both.
Then you can only choose the latter.
... ... ..
... ... ... ... ... ... ..
The sound of splashing water was heard in the bathroom.
The mist formed by the hot air stained the bathroom glass, making everything look so hazy.
Iruma Kei took off her soft, silky, delicate pajamas.
Through the hazy glass, you can vaguely see that perfect figure.
Curvy, sexy and slim.
Her delicate facial features are fair and sophisticated, with a mature and sexy charm.
There was no sign that she had ever given birth.
Her long white legs slid along the edge of the bathtub. The perfect water temperature gave her a comfortable feeling of being accepted.
Ikuma Hui leaned on the edge of the bathtub, enjoying the comfort brought by the bath.
She was also thinking about her next move.
After what happened with Director Sawai, the doves were hit so hard that they couldn't even raise their heads.
The Hawks have already gained most of the power and will soon be able to push for the establishment of an empire.
The light of the Holy Emperor will soon protect the world.
They will be involved in a cause so great that it will change the entire universe.
To be honest, Iruma Hui felt a little guilty for doing that to his old friends.
But for the sake of all humanity, she had to do it.
Dovish compromise and kindness will only lead humanity to death.
Human beings must realize that coldness and cruelty are the norm in the universe.
"team leader."
A sudden sound made Iruma Kei like a frightened rabbit.
She suddenly covered her chest and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
A figure stood outside the bathroom.
Iruma Hui frowned slightly and recognized the other person.
"Dagu?"
"It's me, Captain." Da Gu stepped out from the shadows, the light shining on his confused face, "I have something to ask you."
"Do you think now is a good time to ask questions?" Iruma Hui said, "It's not like you to barge in while a lady is taking a bath."
"I'm sorry, but this is my only chance to sneak in. You usually have too much security, and only at this time will you keep them away." There was a hint of helplessness in Da Gu's tone. If he had a choice, he would not want to choose this time to meet Captain Iruma Kei.
Although Captain Iruma Hui is very beautiful and has a good figure, with a curvy figure, a natural body odor, and fair and smooth skin, as shiny as pearls.
But he is a professionally trained man with high moral standards.
He would never dream of doing anything to Captain Iruma Kei.
He had never thought about training, uniforms, whips, and the like.
He would not even think about making the captain remember his shape.
Those things like widows, dementia, and decadence are even more despised.
"So what do you want to know?" asked Iruma Kei.
"Why are you helping the Empire?"
"That question doesn't seem to make sense, does it? You've asked it before."
"Is it because of those unspeakable things? The raging tide that can devour everything and turn civilization into ruins?"
Hearing this, Iruma Kei looked at Daiko who was standing outside.
"It seems like you already know, right? Let me think, it must be Ultraman Titas who told you something!
I received a report earlier that Tiga went to look for Ultraman Titas."
Da Gu nodded.
"Yes, I got the answer. I guess this is why you gave up the Victory Team and Director Sawai and chose the Empire!
You are just looking for a better way out.”
"Turn your head away." Captain Iruma Kei said.
Da Gu did as he was told.
The sound of splashing water came from behind.
It was obvious that Captain Iruma Kei walked out of the bathtub.
Thanks to some blessing from the power of Ultra, his hearing is very sharp.
You can hear the sound of silk pajamas sliding against your delicate skin.
After a while, Iruma Kei's voice was heard.
"Okay."
Only then did Dagu turn his head away.
Captain Iruma Kei, who had just finished taking a bath, had a blush on her delicate and smooth face.
His eyes were covered with mist, and looked a little blurry.
Her wet hair hung down her back.
"Do you want an answer?" Iruma Hui walked out of the bathroom, her white jade-like feet stepping on the soft carpet.
Da Gu nodded.
"Yes, I want an answer. Ultraman Titas told me a lot. Those terrible things are coming, the Kingdom of Light has been destroyed, the universe is swept by the dark tide, and human civilization is in danger."
There was a hint of imperceptible surprise in Iruma Kei's eyes.
She didn't know about the fall of the Kingdom of Light.
This is important information and needs to be told to Sage Sigma.
She concealed her emotions very well and, as always, played the role of an older sister in front of Da Gu.
"It's hard for you to make a decision, right? The people on the Victory Team trust you very much. If you openly side with the Empire, they will definitely be very sad. But you can't tell them the truth because they are just ordinary people. They can't imagine how a war breaking out tens of thousands of light years away will affect them."
"Their understanding of fate and truth is still shallow, or even nonexistent. Even if you tell them that the human beings living in peace today have reached the edge of the abyss, they will not believe it. They think that as long as everyone on the Victory Team unites, maintains courage and kindness, they can solve all problems."
Seeing Daigu stunned, Iruma Hui smiled.
"Don't ask me why I can guess your thoughts, because I have been there too. When I was enlightened, I was also confused. I regard you in the Victory Team as my family, and Director Sawai as my friend. If you defect to the Empire, it would be tantamount to asking me to betray you."
"But after careful consideration, I still chose to do so. Even if you don't understand, I have to do it."
"As I said before, Da Gu, you have to make a choice. Follow your heart. Become a cruel person for those innocent people, or pretend nothing happened and continue to maintain your pitiful kindness."
Ikuma Hui walked towards the French window.
The soft nightgown set off her graceful figure, and the hem of her skirt dragged on the ground.
The lights from the city outside shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto that delicate face.
Her eyes were filled with a faint melancholy, revealing the sadness of the dark scenes she had seen during the initiation ceremony.
"We all need to understand how insignificant we are. I know you are Ultraman Tiga. But even an Ultraman can do much? Those horrible things can easily tear the world apart, let alone an Ultraman."
"Then I will join you." Da Gu said, "No matter what, we must never let such a dark and cruel fate befall humans."
"Are you really ready, Daiko?" Iruma Hui was not happy that Daiko said he wanted to join the Empire. Instead, he turned around and asked, "The Empire will bring hope to the people of this world, but its nature is cruel. It is not as kind as you think, and it will not have any mercy. Its mission is only to protect the survival of mankind. Any creature that dares to destroy this will be ruthlessly killed by them."
"The cruelty and indifference of the Empire are beyond your imagination. In its eyes, any price is worth paying to maintain the development of mankind. If you want to join the Empire, you must be prepared to abandon your conscience. Because you will be participating in a war, and any cowardice and unrealistic kindness will lead to more deaths."
