Chapter 61: Beria, love turned to hatred, reaches to touch the Plasma Spark Tower to surpass the Father of Ultraman!
The Elder's thought wave completely left the Singer stunned in place.
Oh, right.
Earlier you applied for and obtained a Two-Dimensional Foil; which coordinate did you use it to clear?
At this moment, the Singer's entire thought construct solidified.
Its thought units fell into unprecedented chaos and panic.
Deception, or honesty?
Honesty, it would face unimaginable punishment for illegally attacking the Forbidden Civilization.
Deception, although there is a risk of being exposed, it is a slim chance of survival.
Unlike the Trisolarans, who hardly ever lie, the Singer Civilization can disguise its own thoughts to a certain extent.
In a flash of lightning, it made its choice.
"Elder, I used it to clear away merely a tiny low-entropy creature."
The Singer's thought wave was forcibly disguised by it as calm and obedient.
"The coordinates are in the z384 Star System."
After saying this, it felt an unprecedented unease.
It greatly feared the Elder would on the spot expose its lie; if so, it would suffer the Singer Civilization's harshest punishment.
But if it did not disguise, the outcome would be the same.
In that case, deception is undoubtedly the best choice.
The Elder's thought wave paused for a moment, as if processing this information.
"I see."
It nodded, appearing to believe the Singer's words.
Soon after, the Elder's figure left this independent space.
The Singer's suspended thought core finally relaxed slightly, letting out a sigh of relief.
It seems.
It's fine…
However, the departing Elder did not immediately return to the Elder Council.
It turned around and headed straight for the Singer Civilization's Central Archive Space.
Here, the Singer Civilization's usage records for every device are precisely logged and cannot be altered.
The Elder felt that the Singer slave's condition was off.
Therefore, it wanted to personally check and confirm whether that Two-Dimensional Foil had really been used in the z384 Star System as it claimed.
If it discovered the deception and concealment, such lowly genes would have no reason to exist.
Super Beast World.
Seventh Parallel Universe, Snow Emperor Palace.
The Snow Emperor gazed silently at the sky screen.
From the Anpeila People leading the Dark Army in invasion, to the Land of Light's countless Ultramans rushing forward battle after battle, blood staining the battlefield, to the Father of Ultraman awakening true power and, at the cost of mutual defeat, fiercely repelling the invaders.
The whole process was shocking and heart-wrenching.
At this moment, even though she was the Holy Mother who wholeheartedly believed in love, she could not help but completely overturn her previous prejudice.
"The Ultraman civilization is not a warmongering, violence-glorifying existence."
She murmured to herself.
"That is why they require everyone to be soldiers, demanding such strictness from every Ultraman, even young children."
"It turns out that, because they face such powerful external enemies surrounding them, they have no choice but to do so."
Earlier, the Snow Emperor saw on the Land of Light's Ultraman Arena those young Ultramans undergoing harsh, near-cruel training, and she thought the Land of Light was stifling nature, being warmongering, not sparing even children.
Because in her view, the Land of Light is already a towering, powerful civilization, with no need to frenetically develop military strength.
What they should develop instead is the power of love.
Only after witnessing this thousand-year-long Ultraman Great War did she suddenly awaken.
It turns out it is not the Ultramans who are warmongering.
They are very strong, but their enemies are equally strong to the point of despair.
To protect cosmic peace and safeguard their homeworld, the Ultramans have no choice but to do so!
Earth.
Inside the PIA Command Center.
Weide pointed at the brutal battlefield image on the sky screen, turning his head to look at Cheng Xin beside him.
"Cheng Xin, did you see that?"
His voice was cold and sharp.
"In your eyes, those Ultramans whom you regard as a barbaric, warmongering civilization, what are they really like?!"
"Their bodies are mighty and towering, their technology surpasses ours by several ages!"
"They are not barbarians; they are beings who, when the Anpeila People invaded, had to give everything to fight in order to protect those they love!"
Beside her, Cheng Xin was stunned speechless.
She looked at the fallen Ultramans on the sky screen, at the land scorched by war, and after a long while, she shook her head with a bitter smile.
"I... I have been terribly wrong."
"Ultramans are not as worthless as my prejudice held them to be."
The image on the sky screen continued onward.
After the Ampere Aliens were repelled, Father of Ultra Ken was elated, achieving success both in love and in his career.
He not only won the beauty and married Marie, but also, due to his remarkable military achievements, became a captain of the Space Garrison, almost becoming a top leader of the Land of Light.
Meanwhile, Belial fell into endless shadows.
The shame of being easily defeated by the Ampere Aliens that day, like a brand, was deeply etched into his soul, tormenting him day and night.
Upon seeing his old friend Ken now having achieved tremendous success and supreme honor.
The fragile balance within his heart was completely shattered.
He craved power.
He needed power strong enough to crush everything!
He also wanted to become capable of opposing the Ampere Aliens, even surpassing them!
But, unfortunately.
The Ultra Sword chose Ken, and that idealistic true power also chose Ken.
He had nothing.
"Perhaps I still have one last way to become stronger."
In Belial's heart, the poisonous weed named greed began to grow wildly.
The scene shifted.
Inside the Land of Light.
Around the Plasma Spark Tower, which floats at an altitude of ten thousand meters and supports the light and heat of the entire nation, all was tranquil.
Suddenly, a silver-white figure was approaching the tower's core region at extreme speed.
It was Belial.
Due to his twisted mindset, he had already caused absolute imbalance!
He craved power, craved to surpass Ken, craved the power that would make Marie look at him differently!
Therefore, he placed his last hope upon that forbidden existence.
Plasma Spark Tower.
As long as he could gain the approval of the Plasma Spark Tower's core and absorb its boundless energy.
Then he, Belial, would be the strongest Ultraman!
At the summit of the Plasma Spark Tower.
Belial stepped closer and closer to that core light he had long yearned for, dreamed of.
He could hardly wait, his steps even revealing a hint of twisted pleasure.
Finally.
He arrived before this eternal light.
"Grant me... great power!"
Belial was shouting wildly in his heart.
Then his palm slowly extended, ignoring the surrounding high-temperature energy capable of scorching everything.
He actually reached out directly to touch that central cluster of light of the Plasma Spark Tower!
