Chapter 255

"Contact Ultraman and communicate with Ultraman... that depends on everyone's definition of the word 'communicate'."

After hearing this, Qi Ming revealed a playful smile.

"Definition?" Staff Officer He Zhi repeated the word.

Qi Ming: "If resonating with Ultraman's will counts, does that count as a form of communication?"

Staff Officer Inagaki: "Resonance? How does one resonate?"

Qi Ming did not answer directly:

"The will of the Earth, the mission of Ultraman, the future of humanity... all of this is interconnected."

"And I, I just did some work to push the waves in this bond."

After speaking, Qi Ming waved his hand and left, leaving a group of high-ranking staff officers thinking about the deep meaning in Qi Ming's words.

"He seems to have said nothing, but he also seems to be hinting at something..." a staff officer thought thoughtfully.

"Simply unfathomable..." Qi Ming's performance made the group of staff officers start reading comprehension; they "attached" and "realized" for an afternoon, but still couldn't find the answer.

…………………………

In the following week, as Black Oubu's declaration triggered a huge response globally, the governments of most countries acted quickly and successively introduced stricter environmental protection policies.

This environmental protection storm triggered by Ultraman quickly swept the globe.

The United Nations urgently convened a special meeting, and representatives from various countries gathered together.

At the meeting, all countries unanimously passed the "Global Environmental Protection Emergency Act," which clearly stipulated that fines for sewage-discharging companies would be increased to twenty times the original amount, and established a global environmental protection monitoring agency responsible for supervising the implementation of environmental protection in various countries.

"This is the first time in human history that a global consensus has been reached so quickly," the Secretary-General sighed at the meeting.

Governments of various countries also began to implement a series of environmental protection measures domestically.

The Japanese Cabinet took the lead in announcing the establishment of a "Marine Environmental Protection Special Action Group," specifically responsible for cleaning up marine garbage and monitoring corporate sewage discharge.

The United States launched a "Green Economy Revitalization Plan," encouraging companies to adopt clean energy and environmental protection technologies, and strictly restricting highly polluting industries.

The United Kingdom announced that it would invest huge funds to treat river pollution and restore ecosystems, and promised to close all highly polluting companies that did not meet environmental standards within the next five years.

Shenzhou also reacted quickly.

The introduction of these policies quickly triggered a global environmental protection craze.

The public took to the streets to support the government's environmental protection actions and even spontaneously organized public welfare activities such as cleaning beaches and planting trees.

Many sewage-discharging companies were ordered to stop production for rectification, and some company heads were even directly arrested, facing huge fines and criminal charges.

Qi Ming knew that after this wave passed, there would definitely be people who would take risks to find loopholes, and there would still be trouble later.

However, being able to reach this step was already a huge progress.

Ai Ran Cheng had been so excited recently that he could hardly sleep, watching the aftermath brought about by reading his script at high intensity.

"I am simply leading the trend; I am the trendsetter of the era, oh yeah!"

Member Qi Ming actually gave such a showy thing to himself; he is really a good friend.

Promoting the development of environmental protection globally based on his own will, this matter is too presentable; he can hold his head high even when facing Senior Gai in the future.

While Qi Ming said in the group chat: "See, Fujimiya, this is humanity's error-correction mechanism; as long as there is a turning point, everything will be different."

Fujimiya replied: "In the end, it still has to rely on Ultraman's power."

Qi Ming: "..." Fujimiya: "In the eyes of most humans, Ultraman is a god-like existence; of course, they won't be negligent when facing an 'oracle.' If there were no external pressure, would humans still be willing to make changes?"

Qi Ming: "Ultraman is also a part of the Earth; how can it be 'external' pressure?"

Moroboshi Dan also came out and said:

"No matter how powerful Ultraman's power is, it cannot replace humans in making choices; true change comes from humanity's own awakening, from humanity's sense of responsibility for the future."

"Even without Ultraman, as environmental problems become increasingly serious, humans will sooner or later realize the severity of the problem; Ultraman just accelerated this process."

These words made Qi Ming embarrassed to respond.

At the same time, he felt something was wrong.

The "Sea of Bewitching Light" and "Sea God's Anger" events, enough to make Fujimiya struggle to this extent?

Qi Ming: "You should have checked the light quantum computer Crisis properly; you should understand that the prophecy of 'if you want to save the Earth, you must destroy humanity' is nonsense."

Fujimiya: "Yes, I know; after replacing the part that Claude was responsible for, the prophecy result changed."

Ji Shi Zhun: "What did it become?"

Fujimiya: "No result; the light quantum computer cannot calculate it."

Qi Ming thought this was quite reasonable; after all, the Earth in this world was much more complex than the Earth in the original "Ultraman Gaiya" series, and the light quantum computer probably couldn't calculate it.

Hikari reminded Fujimiya not to trust the speculation of artificial intelligence without a "heart."

He said that there is also artificial intelligence in the technology of the Land of Light.

But no Ultraman would ever ask artificial intelligence: "Is there any race that might become a hidden danger to the universe, and does it need to be strangled in the cradle in advance?"

Hikari: "Trust your own judgment."

Fujimiya: "It is precisely because of thinking that I don't know what is worth believing."

Qi Ming thought it had started; Fujimiya's struggle had started again.

In the original "Ultraman Gaiya" series, Fujimiya had always been like this; although he had a high IQ, he was easily stuck in a dead end and his thinking couldn't turn around.

Not to mention the early stage, later after retrieving the Light of Agul, the Root of Destruction bluffed him, saying that humans were viruses destroying the universe and the Root of Destruction was the medicine, which stunned Fujimiya again.

In "Ultraman Gaiya Returns," Fujimiya was still lost; when asked if he really believed that humans could change, he replied, "If I really believed it, I wouldn't be so painful."

Qi Ming said that since he knew the result of "destroying humanity to save the Earth" was wrong and was a trick by the Root of Destruction to alienate him.

Then according to common sense, shouldn't he do the opposite to avoid falling into the Root of Destruction's trap?

Fujimiya: "The Root of Destruction's answer might be wrong, but that doesn't mean humanity's path is right."

Qi Ming was numb: "Where are you... I'll go talk to you in person."

Fujimiya: "No need, I can handle these things myself."

After speaking, Fujimiya put his phone back in his pocket and looked up at the manor in front of him.

This was the manor of "Claude," the mole of the Root of Destruction lurking in the Alchemy Stars; Fujimiya had returned.

"Fujimiya Hiroya, welcome."

He saw that "Black-Clad Fujimiya" standing in the altar-like garden, greeting him with an eerie smile.

"Don't play god and pretend to be me; you are Claude, right?" Fujimiya looked at the other party.
