Ultraman: Old Tom was actually a tsundere

Chapter 78 Pay Attention, Teacher Xia Gives a Taoist Lesson

Throughout the journey, Xia Yu was so depressed that he couldn't speak.

Mian's world is absolutely impossible to return to; a whole bunch of new-generation Ultra Warriors are eyeing it covetously.

As a result, he couldn't even say goodbye to the children. What kind of behavior is that?

He could have been considered half a hero, but then he said to him with a kind face, "Little friend, you must study hard and serve your country in the future."

It's all Torregia's fault.

But thinking about it carefully, Torregia is actually quite pitiful.

With such poor interpersonal relationships, she already has so many enemies as soon as she shows her face.

Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw! There's always a reason why someone is pitiful.

Xia Yu felt conflicted.

"Aren't you going back to your original world?" Torregia asked quietly.

"oh."

Xia Yu then realized what was happening and immediately stopped in his tracks.

I got too absorbed.

So, how do we get back?

"Could you give me directions?"

"Why should I help you?" Torregia said. "You were just making that wish on the red ball out of sheer boredom."

Xia Yu rolled his eyes and said irritably, "I'm suffering along with you, so we're even."

[You originally planned to use their power to end the state of being one with one mind, right?]

"That's right." Xia Yu readily admitted, "That way I won't have to live in fear anymore. Who knew you were so abnormal and had so many enemies? I was afraid I'd get beaten to death as soon as I stepped out the door."

"Am I the abnormal one?" Torregia's tone rose, clearly dissatisfied with Xia Yu's words.

I merely questioned the absolute justice of light, and Belial is, in fact, a prime example of that.

"You can have your doubts, but why did you cause so much trouble, resulting in the deaths of many innocent people?"

"I'm Ultraman, and I'm going to beat you up too."

Torregia didn't care. "Even without me, life would still perish at any moment; this is the rule of the universe."

Xia Yu laughed in exasperation, "Do you know where Fujimiya is better than you?"

Torregia scoffed, "Stronger than me?"

[They were merely insignificant humans who had gained a tiny bit of light.]

"Because he knows his mistakes and corrects them," Xia Yu said to himself. "I once said that he is very similar to you, or rather, people like you are very similar."

"They are willing to use any means to achieve their goals, and they are determined to do so."

"The difference is that Fujimiya can reflect on and correct his mistakes."

"You won't."

"You're like a rock in a latrine; even after millions of years, you'll still stink."

"To put it nicely, you could call it persistence; in reality, it's a paranoid madman in a mental hospital."

Just as Torregia was about to retort, Xia Yu's imposing manner gave him no chance.

"Or you tell me, if I gave you another chance, how would you deal with Lingjia?"

"Relying on your mediocre skills to manipulate people's hearts?"

Xia Yu chuckled. "You're as childish as a kindergarten kid. If you can't get the teacher's approval or favor, you have to create some trouble to attract other people's attention, even if it's a look of disgust."

Torregia knew that Xia Yuneng could speak.

But I didn't know he was so talkative.

His words were like a burst of light, giving Torregia no chance to refute them.

The key point he made was right to the core.

Even if he miraculously survives, how can he prove himself right to Taro, and how can he avenge himself on Linga?

Even unleashing Grimd's full power failed.

Torregia opened his mouth as if to say something sarcastic, but then fell silent.

It seems there's not much to say.

Xia Yu seemed to have guessed his thoughts and softened his tone.

"You're right about some of it."

"Is light necessarily justice? Obviously not." His agreement invigorated Torregia.

A rare instance of agreement.

"Whether it's light or darkness, it's an objective law of the universe."

"It is certainly inaccurate to judge justice or evil solely based on this."

"The key is the mindset to use power."

Torregia was clearly preoccupied with something, so he took this opportunity to speak his mind, hoping to persuade old Torregia to change his mind.

"Have you thought about why you lost to Taiga?" Xia Yu provoked without any politeness. "It's because Taiga and Yuuki's unyielding spirit resonated with each other, which is what is often called the power of bonds."

"You denied the light, you denied friendship, yet you were defeated by this very force."

"Even now, you still haven't faced it squarely, only mocking and rejecting it. Do you really understand what bonds are?"

You'll fail again next time.

Torregia wanted to retort, but the words stuck in his throat.

Whether he wanted to admit it or not, what Xia Yu said did indeed shake him to his core.

Taiga was plunged into darkness, and Taro was corrupted by chaos, but they were both able to break free. Why?

Even after losing once, Toregia still scoffed at the vague notion of "bonds."

Perhaps he was afraid to think about it deeply.

"Tregear," Xia Yu said solemnly, "I believe that the essence of chaos is far superior to pure light, and defeating Linga is not impossible."

"But you don't understand chaos at all."

【What nonsense are you talking about?!】

"If I don't know, do you think you do?" Torregia suddenly bristled and was about to jump up.

Xia Yu can ignore what else he said, but this is his fundamental point!

"Hehe." Xia Yu chuckled, "You're just using the banner of chaos to actually amplify the dark side infinitely."

"True chaos should encompass everything, including both darkness and light."

"So you must make a change, let light and darkness blend together."

"By then, perhaps we can go and settle things with Taro."

Xia Yu didn't know if Lao Tuo had listened to him.

He has done his best, and that's truly what he thought.

The reasons why Torregia has come to this point are complex.

Changing his mindset would be very difficult, but Xia Yu wanted to give it a try.

The spatial passage fell silent. After an unknown amount of time, Torregia's voice rang out again.

Follow this road to the end and you'll arrive.

Xia Yu nodded slightly.

Sure enough, at the end of the road was a portal to another dimension.

After leaping over, the Ariel base came into view in the distance.

Having concealed his own existence, Xia Yu quickly deactivated his transformation and returned home.

The seal within his mental sea enveloped the pensive Tregear, who cried out in panic.

What are you going to do?

Xia Yu said calmly, "Of course I'm finding you a quiet place to think. It's too noisy outside."

Are they going to lock me up again?

[You think I'm someone you can summon and dismiss at will? What do you take me for?]

"No, I'm trying to help you. I'll let you out once you've thought it through."

【Ugh!!!】

Torregia was unwillingly forced into the sealing sphere, and his mental sea was at peace.

Xia Yu inquired and found out that my dream hadn't returned yet.

He waited patiently until midnight, when my dream came to him with a slightly melancholy expression.

"I know everything about that evil god."

This was the first sentence that came to my mind in my dream.
