"Guardian of the Earth...or maybe you also want me to call you 'Ultraman'?" the judge said, "Get out of the way.
What you said may indeed be true, and we may indeed be deliberately used, but that doesn't matter. What we saw when we came to the earth are real, and we have made the judgment ourselves. This is our job, even if we are used by others
It doesn't matter.
As for you? Your job is to protect the earth, not the human species.
Humans are an experimental species we created millions of years ago, no different from countless other species we created in the universe. And they are one of countless failures, just like many other civilizations.
The failures must be erased, and the Earth's experiment must be started from scratch. This is the conclusion I, as the judge of the universe, have reached.
So from now on, your new mission is to protect and lead the new species that will be born on this planet. Humanity has come to this end."
"No." Richard shook his head.
"You mean, are you prepared to oppose my judgment?" the judge asked, "You know, this is defying the will of the universe. As a god, this is not allowed."
"Ah, yes, I know." Richard said calmly.
"Then why..."
“Because that’s what I’m going to do,” Richard said. “Maybe it’s not the right thing to do, it’s not the right way the universe should work, but that’s okay.
Humans are not a worthless species, nor should they be judged so simply. They are in fact complex, perhaps more complex than any race you have ever come into contact with.
Maybe people do have an aggressive side that can deceive, bring pain, and breed darkness, but they are definitely more than that.
If you are willing to spend more time researching instead of jumping to conclusions like this, you will find that this race also has shining points that do not exist anywhere else in the universe.
They can create laughter, they can bring joy to others, and they have a kind and considerate heart, and that is the cradle of light, the reason for my existence... and for everyone like me."
The judge shook his head: "What you said is too subjective and cannot be understood. God's judgment should not be emotional."
"Maybe. But when I speak here, I represent a person and not a god." Richard paused and glanced at Ganata behind him who was trying to stand upright.
"This is what she taught me," he said.
Ganata was startled and pointed at herself at a loss: "Eh? Me... me??"
Richard smiled silently at her.
Not just Janata, but many, many others.
Unconsciously, his mentality has changed a lot.
He had always thought that when a crisis came to the earth, if he could bear it, he would try his best to bear it; if he couldn't bear it, he would grease his feet and run away.
Anyway, he doesn't owe the earth or mankind anything. He has done his best to achieve this step. There is no reason to fight a war that has no chance of winning for the earth in this universe.
But it's different now.
Being promoted to the god of the universe and the protector of the earth are not something he can do on his own. This is something given to him by the people living on this earth, which means not only responsibility, but also hundreds of millions of people.
people's trust.
Now he turns on the TV, opens the newspaper, walks on the street... almost everywhere he can see himself and Ultraman's posture.
He could clearly feel the love, expectations and enthusiasm of the people on this planet for him.
Even if it was just to respond to these, he couldn't just turn around and walk away at this juncture as if nothing had happened.
Perhaps from a position perspective, his job is just to protect the earth rather than to protect humans, but to him, this is basically the same thing.
"Really...then there's nothing more to say." The judge's tone was still cold, like a machine.
"But I had expected that things would be like this." He continued, "I also know that you are different. You are different from other gods. You grow rapidly and have endless potential. You are a different existence from the gods."
"Oh? Then I'm really flattered." Richard said.
"We have followed every battle of yours. You can always call for miracles and find a way out of impossible situations. So that's why... we don't plan for any surprises this time."
The judge spoke indifferently, as if he was stating a fact that had already happened.
Soon Richard realized what it was... just as countless fireballs trailing flames tore the atmosphere into pieces.
Rumble…
There was a heavy loud noise, accompanied by the movement of landslides and ground cracks. The rock formations in the distance were blasted through, and the ground cracked.
A giant with a golden body slowly stood up in the fireball. His body was also covered in layers of heavy armor, and orange eyes like light bulbs were exposed under his helmet.
Another cosmic god.
But it's not the end yet. Or rather, it's just the beginning.
More fireballs fell rapidly, as if a heavy hammer hit the ground again and again. The Earth King shuddered, and the fluctuations spread along the ground beneath everyone's feet, shaking as if they were about to tear the earth apart.
Five, ten, twenty...
The gods of the universe fell from the sky as if they were free of money. They smashed the earth into craters, stood up unhurriedly, and walked towards the direction of the battlefield.
Fifty cosmic gods, each with a height between 600 and 2,000 meters. It is difficult to describe such a scene in words, but you can imagine the feeling of dominance and oppression, even if it makes people suffocate to death.
strangeness.
The fighting spirit of the entire world has dropped to freezing point.
Mr. Odin originally claimed to be beaten by a group of gods, but in fact the opponent was only a few people. It’s just that he likes to add fuel to the fire when he brags to others, and his words are easily misunderstood when they are spread, so it gradually becomes
The version of "Odin fought against the armies of the gods".
However, in fact, the Cosmic Gods Group has always operated in small teams, ranging from three to nine people. It is extremely rare to have a double-digit number of gods, let alone an attack.
This is the first time even the old man has seen such a battle.
Even Lucifer, who was watching the battle outside the earth, was surprised by this. He smiled and said to himself: "Hey, is this a bit too serious?"
Dozens of gods surrounded them in layers. Even if they didn't do it intentionally, their force fields were connected with each other and sealed off the entire area. That kind of pressure gave people the feeling that they would attack in groups if they disagreed.
a premonition of it.
"Last chance, Ultraman of Earth." The judge's eyes lit up with a dark red light, "Go away now, this matter still has nothing to do with you."
