Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

The failed meeting did not discuss any specific battle plan. After all, the troops’ first priority was to attack, and they would only take action when the situation arose.

The Yabo people were not included in the Earth Defense Force's field of vision and observation, so there was no way to talk about a battle plan. Although it was possible that the top leaders had their own ideas in other aspects.

After the break, the team members rested as needed. Although Xia Long was superhuman, he also felt tired, so he fell asleep. He would have plenty of things to do tomorrow.

Early the next morning, a child entered the base whose ability to suggest and reduce his own presence was a hundred times stronger than Xia Long's.

When Beidou and Nan Xizi were not around, Xia Long asked him to observe his appearance, speech, expression, and how he interacted with others, striving to make sure that they were not exactly the same, as long as there were no mistakes.

The God of Destruction was very smart. He understood all of Xia Long's requirements perfectly and became a Xia Long who looked a little taciturn and seemed to be in a bad mood and didn't want to talk. Then Xia Long let him go out alone for a while in this state. The result was perfect. No one wanted to cause trouble to Xia Long who looked like he was in a bad mood, except Beidou.

When the God of Destruction was sitting alone in the base, Nan Xizi went out for patrol, and Beidou ran to Xia Long without noticing anything. Xia Long synchronized the perspective of the God of Destruction and found that others found him bad-tempered and didn't want to pay attention to him. So Beidou came up and wanted to discuss some issues with the God of Destruction, but was made to leave in disappointment by the God of Destruction who only responded with three words every three sentences.

[Superficial eyes cannot see the horror behind others’ disguises.]

This is what the Yabo people commented.

Xia Long didn't know how the Yabo people could say such a thing. Maybe he was belittling Beidou, and was also using Beidou's state to hint at what kind of power Xia Long could gain by merging with him. But this guy was just as terrifying under the disguise as he said in his words. Was it because he had lived too long that he had no shame?

Originally, the God of Destruction was monitoring the entire territory in Chofu City, but Xia Long felt that he would be more assured if he investigated personally than if the God of Destruction did, but he didn't have the time, so he came up with this idea.

If the task you entrusted to others has not yet been completed, try doing it yourself first.

So later that day, Xia Long came to Chofu City alone from the base of Mount Fuji.

The moment he arrived in Chofu City, he went to investigate the "most vulnerable point in the alien space" marked by the God of Destruction.

This so-called point can be likened to a convex or concave side of a piece of thin paper in another dimension, which is easy to be pierced. According to the God of Destruction, if he wants to invade reality from another dimension, this is the easiest place to start.

In reality, this is a printing factory that prints magazines and various novels. Xia Long used hints to conduct a casual investigation and confirmed that there was no problem here.

——The so-called space-time structure is constantly changing.

From Newton to Einstein, from the absolute uniqueness and the curved space-time that is like a trampoline, these are not the correct space-time, or not the absolutely correct space-time.

So-called science is the so-called understanding of objective laws, not the objective laws themselves. In the future, perhaps our current concept of time and space will continue to be broken, and this is a real world, and no one knows what time and space will be in the end.

Xia Long sometimes thought that his experience was like something that only happened in novels. In that case, the creator's worldview was limited to his knowledge and the limits of civilization, and time and space might be fixed. But it was not, or even if it was, it would be meaningless.

Authors are people who can write about things they have never seen before as if they were real. It is also possible for them to create a time and space that they themselves do not understand at all.

It's just empty talk. Time travelers may doubt assumptions like the brain in a vat.

In short, Xia Long currently takes the space-time structure described by the God of Destruction as the main basis. In the words of the God of Destruction, the different existences between spaces are like the front and back of a coin, or like multiple pieces of paper stacked on top of each other. These papers are not absolutely smooth. Each piece of paper and each space will correspond to each other. As long as the more fragile part is found, the obstacles between them can be pierced to achieve connection. However, because his distance is not what humans can understand, the distance between them cannot be equated.

There are three such points in the entire Chofu City, and all three are points that the God of Destruction considers to be relatively likely to make breakthroughs.

Xia Long first spent time searching these three points, searching here with his resentment that had begun to wave like an arm.

Nothing at all.

Although Xia Long was worried about being discovered by the Yabo people and would not take any method that would expose himself, it did not mean that his search was without intention.

"Nothing."

That's a good thing too.

That night, Xia Long remotely communicated with the God of Destruction to synchronize their perspectives. Fortunately, there were no problems and he performed very well, which surprised Xia Long, who was originally worried about the God of Destruction's bad nature. The only drawback might be that the team members would be confused and speculate about Xia Long's sudden bad temper for a few days.

The next morning, Xia Long got up early and began to think about the second question.

Although he had subconsciously considered it before, he had never really thought about it, and it was not too late now.

Assuming his guess is correct, and that super beast was born out of the resentment of some poor person, then after finding that person, what should be done to kill the super beast? What should be done to rescue that poor person from the vortex of the super beast?

Want to...kill him/her?

Xia Long remembered that there was such a person on TV. It seemed that there was a man who intended to molest team member Noriko Mikawa. After being shot, Ace, who had a hard fight, found an opportunity to destroy the Ultra Beast. So is he going to replicate the same thing?

No, if it was a bad person, that’s another matter. After all, reality can hardly tolerate such kindness.

But if that guy is a poor man who has gone astray, then how should Xia Long deal with him? It's not that Xia Long cannot accept using unjust means to achieve justice, but there has to be a limit.

Up to now, Xia Long seems to have been doing his own justice in his own way and from his own perspective, but that does not mean that he is a character like Emiya Kiritsugu, nor does it mean that he arrogantly thinks he is qualified to do so. It is better to say that there is no such metaphysical term as "qualified or not".

He had the ability and wanted to do it, so he did it. He was a character closer to the perspective of an ordinary person, the kind of ancient Chinese knight-errant.

Of course, Xia Long himself doesn't want to shamelessly say that he is a knight, but he is not like Batman in DC who insists on not killing people. However, he also has a persistence, and it is precisely because he is Xia Long that he cannot do so.

Once he did this, Xia Long always felt that all the resentment of all those people who had once wandered away from him would come back and swallow him up because he had betrayed them.

——But the reason why Xia Long is an ordinary person is because if things really come to that point, he might choose one side or the other.

Xia Long pulled up the brim of his hat and looked at the big hospital in front of him with his changed face. Big hospitals in big cities are always crowded with people, and the cars are parked full. People walk back and forth because of various illnesses.

Of course, tragedy is inevitable, and Xia Long knows this best, but Xia Long also knows best how to fight back. That is not something he understands himself, but he has learned it from others.

As he walked in, he felt a strong desire to kill the Yabo people.
