What? Ultraman is lifelong?

As a heroic special effects film, what is the most special thing about Ultraman compared to other heroic special effects films?

Different people have different answers to this question, such as an absolutely great and righteous protagonist, two factions with relatively obvious good and evil, a classic story that is as easy to understand as possible but still memorable, mixed with sociology and human nature thinking. From the moment the character of Ultraman was born, these somewhat stereotyped characteristics have been an indispensable part of the Ultra series.

However, in fact, in addition to these more "core" characteristics, the Ultra series has always had a most direct one, which is also what makes the Ultra series stand out from other special films, and that is - mechanical deification.

Deus ex machina is a term from ancient Greek drama, which refers to the sudden appearance of a supernatural force or character to solve the problem when the plot is stuck, so that the story can continue or end. This technique is achieved in classical drama by using mechanical devices, such as cranes, to send actors playing gods to the stage.

Judging from the origin of this word, there is actually no particular problem with the emergence of this word. After all, the appearance of gods in ancient Greek dramas is logically acceptable to everyone.

However, since deus ex machina is usually used to describe illogical or overly coincidental solutions that appear in stories, in modern times, this technique is often criticized as a trick used by screenwriters when they want to be lazy. So in theory, if deus ex machina is to be used in many plots in modern society, it is necessary to find the right opportunity.

This is actually something that really tests the screenwriter's skills.

But there is no need to think so much about Ultraman, because for human civilization, the existence of Ultraman, from the very beginning, represents "God".

Of course, in the continuous iteration process of this IP series, the divinity of Ultraman has been stripped away bit by bit. In order to make the story more understandable and more in line with normal human concepts, some human nature has been slowly imposed on Ultraman. On the one hand, this makes Ultraman's IP more malleable, but on the other hand, it does make this IP a bit "vulgar" at times.

But in general, as long as it is an Ultraman story, the Deus Ex Machina is always useful and can solve most problems.

In the human story, Ultraman himself represents God to a certain extent, and God can naturally skip many problems of human society and let the story enter the state of HAPPY END.

In the story of Ultraman, Tsuburaya set up some 'Ultraman' among Ultraman, that is, the gods in the Ultraman world.

In fact, Zero's problem is difficult to solve. The Kingdom of Light itself is a fantasy perfect world in fantasy special effects, and Zero's dream is even more fantasy than a fantasy world, a world where all civilizations are equal.

Castor, who has regarded the entire universe, even the big universe, as the real world, understands that the world that Zero hopes for is impossible to appear.

The universe has some basic sociological logic. Although some people believe that cosmic sociology is not a real science, under the premise of biological instinct and civilization logic, some things do exist. Just like one plus one equals two, it is something that needs no further explanation. Survival is the foundation of civilization, and this kind of thing also needs no further explanation.

Various basic cosmic logics have led to the fact that the kind of world that Ultraman Zero hopes for is impossible to create in actual operations. No matter how fantastic the ideas are, it is difficult to allow so many messy civilizations in the universe to make their voices heard equally.

But, in the final analysis, no matter how real this world is, it still has Ultraman's world, and a world where Ultraman exists means that there is a loophole in the true logic of the universe, or a higher-level logic, that is - Deus Ex Machina.

Some problems don't really need to be solved. Even if Zero has this or that deficiency, he still has the opportunity to skip all these problems and directly achieve his goal through the method of mechanical deification.

It would be great if this god could really come down.

However, unlike Ultraman who can appear constantly in human stories, it is relatively difficult to make the gods in Ultraman stories really come.

Because just like what I said before, Deus Ex Machina is a lazy way of describing. Even if it is Tsuburaya, it is impossible to keep adding settings and design their own Ultraman for the Ultraman in Ultraman.

Therefore, one must be extremely cautious when using those characters. Castor can communicate with them, but it is difficult to directly make them deus ex machina.

Even Castor, in fact, has only had contact with Noah in very few cases over such a long time, and in most of those cases, Noah just came out and scolded them, but did not really solve the problem.

If you count carefully, the number of times Noah really died were all major events that could affect the entire universe, such as the war between Dark Lugiel and Galaxy and the birth of the new god of the Kyrieloid people.

Although Zero is also one of the heirs of Noah's Light, it is still difficult to ask Noah to help him solve such an extremely unrealistic thing.

According to Castor's prediction of Noah, Noah should have known what Zero wanted to do. The moment he knew what Zero insisted on, some things actually became more complicated.

Judging from the training Noah gave to the fit, he would most likely watch Zero constantly run into obstacles, or even die in the process of pursuing his dream.

Maybe for Noah, your dream and the price you pay for it should be equal.

In the process of pursuing your dreams, no matter what happens to you, it is not Noah's business to interfere. After all, it is the path you choose yourself, and no one has any reason to interfere with you.

But Castor doesn't think so. He believes that as the boss of the light camp, or at least one of the bosses, Noah places clones all over the universe every day, and seems to have secretly learned some knowledge from somewhere. This is obviously an act of "not doing his job properly".

Since Noah did nothing, Castor thought that he should do something, and the method he thought of was to tell Noah that if Zero got stuck in a dead end one day, his own growth talent would be very exaggerated.

In simple terms, if Zero is willing and is lucky enough, then after who knows how many tens of thousands, or even millions or tens of millions of years, Zero might become the same kind as Noah, or a colleague?

A person who is favored by Noah, Seiya, the Guardian of Time and even the King of Ultra, who once served as the "protagonist" in the universe for a period of time, who has very outrageous and far-reaching ideals, and who is firm in his beliefs.

If someone really thinks about it in that direction, they will understand that this is not impossible.

Of course, it is difficult for ordinary people to think of these things, and even if they do, it is difficult for them to report to their superiors or submit their "analysis reports".

But Castor is different. To be honest, he is also one of Noah's incarnations, and one of the incarnations that can negotiate with Noah to a certain extent.

Whether the relationship between the clone and the original body is that of a superior and a subordinate, no one can tell for sure.

But as a child taught by Sawai, Castor knows very well how to make others happy, so compared to Lan Ka, he always puts himself in the right position.

From the moment he gained the trust of the Evolutionary, Castor began to maintain these objects containing the Light of Noah every now and then.

Even more outrageous, he would always silently recite Noah's name from time to time.

It can be said that Castor had long since placed himself in the position of a subordinate, or even a believer, and in a subtle way, Noah would indeed unconsciously look at him for a while longer.

After all, who wouldn’t like a child who respects them and talks about them every day?

And it was based on this kind of "identity" that Castor found an angle to help Cerro. Castor felt that as a subordinate, it was logical to recommend a young man with great potential, ideas and background to his superiors.

When Zero was trying to change Blue Card and save Blue Card by self-destruction, Noah had already looked over. Although no one remembered this incident, as Noah's most loyal believer, Castor was sure that Noah had definitely intervened in this matter.

Even more outrageous, Noah may have intervened in more than one aspect of the whole thing. It is very likely that Noah has been paying attention to everything that happened here from beginning to end.

Noah's silent move gave Castor an immature idea, which led to all the subsequent events.

To put it bluntly, Castor does not want Zero to directly become a life form that transcends the universe. This is not that simple.

You know, the existence in the universe that everyone can directly contact at present is the legendary king of the Kingdom of Light - King Ultra.

Although it is not known how the King of Ultra has reached his current level, it can be seen from his beard that when he reached this point, he has probably gone through a very long time.

Just like those people in stories who can stay young forever after reaching a certain level of cultivation, it is obvious that the King of Ultra reached this level in the second half of his life.

How long is the life span of the King of Ultra? He was already known as a legend in the Land of Light before the Land of Light appeared.

According to conservative estimates, even the King of Ultraman, who was the fastest, still took hundreds of thousands of hours to reach this level.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect young Zero to grow to that level directly. However, it would be much more reasonable if Noah could help Zero reach that stage step by step.

Again, a person who is favored by Noah, Seiya, the Guardian of Time and even the King of Ultra, who once served as the "protagonist" in the universe for a period of time, who has very outrageous and lofty ideals, and who is firm in his beliefs,

And the young man who had walked above the universe several times,

As long as he doesn't die prematurely, if he is given time, he will naturally grow into the next Ultra King.

Castor felt that unless Noah was mentally ill, he would not refuse to help such a young man. As for whether Castor would be blamed by Noah for this matter, this brought up another little thought of Castor.

Looking at the Evolution Trustee that was constantly beating in Zero's hand, Castor whispered silently:

"Great God Noah, here are your most loyal and qualified subordinates who are the leaders of Castor, praying for you.

I believe that you have been watching this young man named Cero, so you should understand the potential of this young man. I know that you are a strict elder and hope that young people can be self-reliant, but I think sometimes you can also give young people some help, so as to reflect your love.

Also, I heard that the King of Ultra also cares about Zero, but I took the lead and sent him to you. Now, if you want, if that day comes in the future, you can laugh at the King loudly, but I advise you to act as soon as possible to avoid the King suddenly intercepting you."

Hongka's words were very simple. He believed that his current image should be perfect in Noah's heart.
