Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

Ian's power system is relatively retro. They still have a royal family, and the royal family naturally has the highest power.

A long time ago, three or four hundred years before Noel was born, Ian was still a planet ravaged by war. Everyone held on to their own honor and pride, fighting each other fiercely. There were many different ethnic groups and cities scattered across the land.

The one who ended this situation was the contemporary king, who reshaped Ian as the unifier of the planet and the nation.

Assuming that long-term division will eventually lead to unification and long-term unification will eventually lead to division is a law of history, then the contemporary king is an extremely outstanding great man who seems to have undertaken this mission and has been pushed forward by history.

The king commanded the army, defeated and conquered other tribes, used bold and sophisticated diplomatic policies, signed one agreement after another, convinced others and made them part of his kingdom. Under his outstanding personal charm and tough yet peaceful policies, he achieved true unification.

Creighton Harlan, an old man from Holland, once told Sharon and Noel a myth about the "Goddess and Nunaki". In fact, it was not a pure myth. All myths are related to reality, rather than isolated legends.

The story of the goddess and Nunaki actually reflects the bloody and legendary history of unification.

Different ethnic groups, different cities, different cultures, sometimes even just a dozen miles apart, may believe in completely different gods. To bring these cultures together without completely offending the feelings of the conquered, a certain kind of strength is required.

The story of the goddess conquering Nunaki with the help of the god-king's power is actually a story of one ethnic group conquering and integrating with another ethnic group. It may also involve complicated stories such as annexation, war, and alliance.

In order to make myths and cultures converge and unify, the king called himself the servant of the goddess. In this way, he incorporated other mythological legends into a larger system, allowing each ethnic group to understand its own status, culture and weight, and to place itself in the king's ideal vision of great unification, so that they could remain calm and not worry about being destroyed and killed. This provided an indelible contribution to the establishment of Ian.

Nunaki was defeated by the goddess and rushed towards the sun with resentment towards the sacred mountain. In the end, he was even burned to death by the sun. However, from his resentful corpse, Ilio, who later possessed the ministry of the sun and was glorious and sacred, was born.

Ilio was born from the soil of hatred and blood, but he represents hope and peace, just like the power of the sun that makes all things grow, and he carries the good wishes of the Ien people.

As the daughter of the God-King and the servant of the Goddess, the king acknowledged Ilio's status as one of the main gods. To this day, the legend of Nunaki has not disappeared, but Ilio's idea of ​​representing peace has been known to more young people.

The same seeds of goodness sprouted in people's hearts.

However, no matter how outstanding the king is, he is not a god. No one in this world can become a god.

When alien enemies attacked and black metal weapons of "justice" attacked cities, he had no way to deal with it.

When Xia Long and Noel arrived at the border, they saw a black army heading towards the border. That was the king's work.

Although Wang did not have the more advanced tactical thinking and accurate imagination of future technology of Xia Long's era, he used his intuition based on past experience to judge the situation after Ian was invaded.

The reason why Xia Long took Noel to the border was that he was determined to survive in the wild and even join the guerrillas.

The king was aware of that possibility, and the black army was a living force prepared for this purpose.

However, the gap between the two sides is too big. Even if the king took so many actions, if there were no Yabo people, Ian would probably have the fate of becoming a slave planet.

"Dad, is this a hero?"

A clear boy's voice appeared.

The adult holding the child's hand replied.

"Yes, this is the hero, the hero who saved all of Ian, our Ian's eternal benefactor."

"I want to be a hero in the future, and become a powerful and noble person like him."

"That won't work."

"Eh?"

The child wanted to become a great person like a hero, but faced with this simple and ignorant idea, Wang gently but firmly denied it.

"Rick, you have to remember that there is no hero in the world who has never become a hero by himself. Being a hero is not a profession, nor is it determined by oneself. It is judged by others. No one is born great. For example, even if you are my son, it does not prove that you are qualified to be the 'king'."

"Whether a person is great or a hero is determined by others based on his character and actions. A person who calls himself a hero is not necessarily a hero, but when someone is willing to call him a hero, he is definitely a hero."

Wang said, touching his child's head.

The child nodded in confusion. He understood a little bit what his father meant, but the deeper meaning of his father's words would need to be experienced more deeply after he grew up.

Now, the child only asked the dark-haired man who was surrounded by ice and seemed to have stopped time.

"But he must be a hero."

The person wrapped in the transparent ice had a peaceful face, but there seemed to be some uneasiness in his thin brows. He looked like a dead person, but also like someone who would wake up in the next moment.

His clothes were tattered, yet very clean, as if the dirt had been washed away by water. His hair was black, and his skin was as pale as ivory. If you looked closely, you could see the light blue veins.

Among the Ian people, this man is out of place, but among all the Ian people, there is no one who does not thank him, among all the Ian people, there is no one who does not respect him, among all the Ian people, there is no one who does not treat him as a legendary hero and as a beloved relative.

Xia Long was sleeping quietly in the ice, frozen in time. His once dead body seemed to be protected by some strange power, and the person inside gave people a feeling that life was still preserved.

"He is a hero admired by everyone, the savior of this planet, Rick. Even if you die in the future, you must remember this person. No matter how time passes, this person will be recorded in our history and our legends. It must not be damaged, lost, or forgotten, because without him, we will all die and face a hellish end."

"Ok!"

Rick nodded vigorously with a solemn face. From his still young body, there emerged a sense of solemnity and sacred power. This power transcended the limitations of age and moved people.

Wang nodded and stopped talking, looking at the black-haired young man in the ice.

From now on, until ten thousand ten thousand years from now, he will still be a legend on this planet.

A symbol of peace, a dark hope.

Countless people have praised it.

A savior from a distant foreign land.
