Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

There is no need to fear yourself, no need to regret yourself.

There is no need to stop at what you are doing, it is too early.

Do your best to kill humans.

Take this beautiful planet and this beautiful universe away from them.

What we did was not upright and our methods were extremely cruel.

Of course I knew that a long time ago, and of course I had been mentally prepared.

Use everything, use evil means, use means that are despised by others, use cold and ruthless means.

"Ah."

The Yabo people tilted their heads, stretched out their hands, and held up the darkness in the human heart where the seeds were buried. That was one of the materials, and now they were collected after they matured.

Then, squeeze it tightly.

"Soon..."

.........

"It's been really quiet lately."

Xia Long turned the steering wheel while glancing at Beidou who was speaking. The red light was about to go out, so he shifted the gears and slowly released the clutch. The Black Panther started as lightly as if his arm was waving.

"Maybe. So far, everything has been going smoothly. We haven't encountered a situation like last time when even Ace was almost defeated."

After driving for a while, change gears. When the speed reaches a suitable speed, change gears again. Then, drive and patrol in the city based on this gear.

Beidou was in the passenger seat, crossing his arms over his chest and nodding in agreement.

"Although I still need to rely on Ace to fight the Ultra Beasts I encounter many times, I have never seen Ultra Beasts that form a city as a unit like at the beginning. Every time they appear, I can always defeat them quickly. The only difference is that the Ultra Beasts appear in more scattered places."

Xia Long turned on the turn signal in advance and said slowly;

"Yes, from the Pacific Ocean to Hokkaido, from the Kuril Islands to Kagoshima, the whole of Japan is like the backyard of the Yawa people, and they can be found everywhere."

"There are some overseas too, but Ace is not able to do anything about it. Fortunately, there weren't too many casualties."

Beidou said with some sadness.

Xia Long glanced at him again.

“That’s not necessarily something to be happy about.”

"Eh?"

"We are still not completely sure of the enemy's purpose. Although we even know the indicative name "Yabo people", we know nothing about them fundamentally. Back to the old question, although it is almost a daily routine to resist the attacks of the Yabo people and fight back, it is very dangerous to treat this as a daily routine."

Beidou's expression turned serious, and even though he didn't understand yet, he asked cautiously.

"May I ask what the real team member means...?"

"What's more important than having so much experience and getting used to fighting the enemy is that after so many battles, we still don't know the enemy's purpose."

Xia Long looked at him, and this time Beidou clearly saw the squinting look in his eyes. Xia Long turned his head and continued to look at the road ahead.

"What exactly does the enemy want to do? What exactly is there on this planet that is worthy of their attention? Have we been paralyzed by the continuous wars and our desire for the purpose behind the war? Don't just be a soldier, Beidou."

"I know." Beidou muttered, "But there is no way to know it..."

Xia Long didn't say anything, and there was no expression on his face that was revealed to Beidou, although even if some was revealed, Beidou might not be able to see it.

Unlike Beidou, Xia Long knew something.

It's not like he has done nothing in the past few months. Although the enemy has hidden their tails very well this time, the wind leaves a sound and the wild geese leave a sound. Even so, he can still catch their occasional negligence.

But what good will it do to say it out loud?

He is not Beidou, and he is not a real person living in this world society. If something really happens that he cannot handle alone, but Beidou and Nan Xizi can handle it together, then he will tell Beidou and Nan Xizi his identity without hesitation.

Even if his identity is unfortunately revealed and he cannot gain a foothold in the Tucker team, he is confident that he can live in this world until he finishes what he should do. The same goes for his beloved son. He will make careful arrangements. Although the child will be wronged, he will not let the child suffer any undue hardship.

But, even with Beidou, it still can't solve that problem...

"Beidou, please be careful recently." Xia Long said calmly while holding the steering wheel tightly;

"Oh, ah, oh..."

Beidou was confused by what Xia Long said, but he still agreed.

The recent battles were indeed easy and smooth. It was not that the Super Beasts that appeared had become weaker, but Beidou had gradually become more knowledgeable about how to deal with the Super Beasts. Therefore, he was not defeated by the Super Beasts and was able to resolve them with little impact.

During these months, although Beidou occasionally encountered various troubles, such as bad-tempered witnesses, harassing racers on the road, and ordinary citizens who completely threw tantrums and obstructed public affairs, the final results were all good and they were all resolved perfectly.

I felt very depressed when it happened, but when I solved all those things, the sadness and bad memories became fulfilled memories. After solving those things and working tirelessly to get here, Beidou also felt that he seemed to have grown up a little.

It's like walking a long or short road and coming to a slightly open and flat place. After taking a breath and looking around, you see a completely new scenery that you have never seen before, perhaps a flat grassland that is so flat that you can see everything at a glance, and standing in the scenery is a completely new self - of course, not as exaggerated as "completely new". However, there is also a slight feeling that you seem to have the ability to save people from danger.

Beidou felt neither proud nor proud, but just pure joy and happiness in thinking that his hands had the power to save others.

If Xia Long knew what Beidou was thinking, he might be a little surprised.

Although Beidou is irritable, immature, and hot-blooded, he is innocent, kind, and willing to go through fire and water for others. That kind of beauty in humanity undoubtedly exists in Beidou's heart.

When Ace arrived that day, the reason why he chose Beidou as one of his human bodies was perhaps because he discovered the true kindness in Beidou's heart when he sacrificed his life to save others and died.

The patrol was about to end, and Xia Long drove to the nearest military base, intending to fly a fighter jet back to the Tucker team base, but at this moment, the communication rang.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Xia Long felt that the sound of the communication was particularly urgent. At the same time, he had a vague ominous premonition in his heart.

Xia Long and Beidou looked at each other before continuing the call.

The moment the call was connected, Noriko Mikawa's voice rang out urgently, her voice sounding like that of someone who was still in the house when the fire collapsed.

"Team Shin, Team Hokuto, please go to Sakurajima immediately, please go to Sakurajima immediately!!"

——Sakurajima.

As the name suggests, it is an island, very close to Kagoshima. It may not be accurate to call it an island, because its east side is connected to the Osumi Peninsula.

During the Taisho period, the volcano on Sakurajima erupted, and the lava that erupted swallowed the entire east side. The remaining lava continued to spread and cool on the sea surface, resulting in the east side of Sakurajima connecting with the Osumi Peninsula.

Because there were signs before the eruption, the casualties were no more than a hundred people, but the impact of the eruption destroyed almost all the farmland on Sakurajima, and two-thirds of the original population of more than 20,000 people were relocated. Even though there were plans for reconstruction afterwards, the actual number of people left was only about 4,000.

Sakurajima is famous because of the active volcano on the island, which is a very active volcano. This island is located on the edge of a knife, and the people on it live in danger of volcanic eruptions all the time. However, to this day, there are still residents living on the island, and the volcano has never really taken away the power of life on the island.

But now, it's about to be taken away.

Xia Long and Beidou flew their fighter jets separately to Sakurajima at the fastest speed. Because the Tucker team had the right to fly over the entire Japanese sky, they did not encounter any attacks from anti-aircraft weapons during such a high-speed flight.

However, as they approached Sakurajima—no, Kagoshima, something was already terribly wrong.

"That is......"

Sakurajima is still not visible, but the sky has become very gloomy. The clear blue sky has been replaced by dark clouds covered with drizzle. Faint thunder is heard, and the sky outside the fighter plane has become overcast and gradually filled with clouds. That is what it looks like when heavy rain is coming.

And in the front, there was a gathering dark cloud with flashes of lightning inside, roaring faintly and gradually getting bigger.

Beidou's pupils shrank slightly as he remembered the time he faced the Snow Dragon Ultra Beast and the Hippolytus.

In that heavy snow, there was also such a black cloud rumbling, gradually spreading and roaring in the cold hearts of people. Although he did not directly confront the dragon beast, he suffered a disastrous defeat in the subsequent battle against the Hippolytus, an undoubted disastrous defeat.

Now, the dark cloud has appeared again.

So, it wasn't that super beast that caused it...

The speed of the fighter jet will not slow down because of thoughts. Under the dark clouds, Sakurajima also revealed his appearance.

The sky was shattered, with scarlet and unknown colors blending together. Sakurajima was almost completely invisible, with only vague fragments of the mountain leaking out, green trees, black mountains, and traces of the town... The place that should have been an island was completely covered by the shattered space.

On the sea level, the purple-black space spread around like eroded lava, and above it, like branches growing out of a big tree, it continued to spread upwards. Layers of space were shattered, and islands continued to disappear, like a giant beast that was constantly devouring the world within the world.

Thunder roared, dark clouds rolled with lightning that suddenly turned transparent from black. Under the gloomy sky and heavy rain, Sakurajima was torn into pieces as if space was shattered. The space in the middle even collapsed downwards, and the purple-black space on the sea level was gradually swallowing up the surroundings and continuing to move towards Kagoshima. In the wind and waves, the waves violently beat against the shore.

"Asshole, asshole, asshole!!"

The ring in his hand made a crisp sound. The super beast had not appeared yet, but just as it arrived, the ring gave Beidou permission to transform.

"Yuko!!"

The body disappeared from the cockpit of the fighter plane. Before Xia Long could shout, he found that the fighter plane that he had lost Beidou from his sight was still flying, but the speed had slowed down a lot.

...Telekinesis?

Amid the interweaving particles of light, Ace, the giant of light, appeared in the sky, glowing.

The moment he appeared, before the light on his body disappeared, Ace roared, crossed his hands on his abdomen, and then gathered all his strength over his head. The Ultra Hole on his head emitted a bright light and his hands formed an L shape.

Ace roared with a fury he had never shown before, and shot the light in his hand with an intensity never seen before towards the space where Sakurajima was collapsing.

In the gap of this world that was gradually collapsing and disintegrating, in the gradually spreading collapse of space, the Giant of Light desperately vented the shining energy in the air to the center of the collapse, and just like a miracle, the collapse of space stopped, and the spreading posture stagnated. It was clearly emitting light, but it was as if repairing, and the collapse of space stopped.

In Ace, Nan Xizi's roar intertwined with Beidou's roar, and the colored timer on the chest flashed in the form of blue light.

But when everything stopped, the waves stopped, the strong wind stopped, although it was still raining and the sky was still gloomy, the collapsed space disappeared.

But in the distance of Sakurajima, there was only a huge hole left, and the surrounding sea water was about to fill it up and rush in, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, with the momentum of the waves sweeping across the sky.

Ace's hands hung down as if he had lost his strength, and the colored timer on his chest kept flashing blue light at an abnormal frequency. He stared blankly at the large hole that was filled with sea water and reached out his hand in a daze, as if he wanted to touch something.

Nothing.

Four thousand people disappeared.

For the first time, what echoed in the sky was not a war cry, but Ace's scream.

In the woods of Kagoshima, which is close to the sea, the moist soil is trampled with traces, and the scarlet aliens in the woods seem to be able to peek at Sakurajima in the distance.

"It really can repair the space."

"Isn't this something you expected?"

"It will be soon. It will be soon. When that time comes, kill Ace."
