Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1216 Sakurajima Mai: I have to do something

Luther looked at Mai Sakurajima and gave her the power to become Ultraman Nexus. However, she did not go to Kyoto to fight the monsters, which made Luther a little disappointed.

But it seems that Mai Sakurajima is also a little shaken.

In this chaotic land, every country has sent out its own elite troops, either to compete for scarce resources, to demonstrate the majesty of the country, or to occupy a place in this war without gunpowder.

The existence of the extraordinary people has brought this battle to a whole new level. The extraordinary people are those who have surpassed the limits of ordinary people and have special abilities. They are like the king on the chessboard, who can turn the tide of the battle by themselves.

Therefore, whenever a supernatural person joins a camp, it will cause a great shock within the camp, and at the same time make the opponent feel unprecedented pressure. This "no gain means loss" mentality makes the whole situation more tense and delicate.

However, in this game between great powers, the most eye-catching thing is the actions of the Greater English Commonwealth.

Although this once empire on which the sun never set has lost its former glory, its arrogance and selfishness have never changed.

The Great British Commonwealth, the former empire on which the sun never set, has never lost its arrogance and selfishness even as time has passed.

The principle they believe in is simple yet brutal: "If others do not have what I have, I am better than them; if it is really difficult to stay ahead, then let 'I have nothing, so others also have nothing'."

This extreme logic makes the Commonwealth of England often play the role of a troublemaker on the international stage. They protect their own interests at all costs, even at the expense of the interests and even the lives of others.

In this chaotic island nation, the Greater England Commonwealth has taken this principle to the extreme. Not only have they dispatched well-equipped special forces, they have also secretly funded a number of private armed forces in an attempt to weaken the power of other countries through proxy wars, while looking for opportunities to obtain the extraordinary resources on the island.

At the same time, various private armed forces and mercenary groups are roaming every inch of the island country.

Some of them fight for money, some for revenge, and some for some unexplainable power. There are no fixed allies between these groups, only temporary cooperation and eternal betrayal.

Whenever they find a clue that may be a treasure, they will rush in like sharks smelling blood, fighting desperately for it.

In this chaos, the lowest-level soldiers are often the most direct victims. They are involved in this endless war, not only facing the enemy's gunfire, but also having to guard against betrayal and exploitation from their own side.

For ordinary soldiers, the existence of extraordinary people is both hope and despair.

The hope is that if one can get the protection of a superhuman, perhaps one can survive this brutal war; the despair is that every move of a superhuman may mean that more companions will fall in a pool of blood.

"Kill him! The treasure is mine!" Such thoughts echoed in every soldier's heart. It is not only the motivation for survival, but also the embodiment of human greed.

In such an environment, trust between people became rarer than gold. Soldiers began to form small groups, suspicious of each other, and even killing each other, just to have an extra guarantee of survival before the end of the world.

“I should do something…”

Mai Sakurajima frowned and stared deeply at the heart-wrenching scene on the TV news screen.

In the picture, ruins and despair are intertwined, and people's faces are filled with helplessness and sadness.

An indescribable emotion surged in her heart, a profound reflection on the power she possessed and a deep sympathy for the suffering people on this land.

Mai Sakurajima longs to do more, such as using her own power to protect everyone in this country, so that they can break free from fear and despair and regain hope in life. However, reality is always much more bleak than ideal.

The Tiangong Temple Metropolitan Area, this once extremely prosperous place, has rebuilt many houses, but each one is fully occupied and the demand is far from enough to meet the supply.

A large number of survivors came from all directions, and they were in urgent need of a place to stay, but there were no vacant rooms here.

In order to deal with this dilemma, the government had to build temporary tent areas on the edge of the city to accommodate the homeless people.

Sakurajima Mai and Kato Megumi walked side by side on the road leading to the tent area, both of them feeling extremely heavy.

When they finally stood at the entrance to the tent area, the scene before them made them gasp.

All I saw were densely packed tents stretching out in an endless stream, like a gray ocean, and people were struggling to survive in this "ocean".

Men, women, old and young, and families are crowded into a small space, living in extremely difficult conditions.

The people around, whether they were ragged old people or childish children, were all hurriedly looking for their own place. The air was filled with a sense of urgency and despair.

"There's no empty space here, and the people here can't see us..."

Megumi Kato said.

Sakurajima Mai gently patted Kato Megumi's shoulder and said, "Kato, wait here for me. I'll find a way."

After saying that, she turned around and strode out of the tent area, leaving Kato Megumi standing there alone, full of doubts but having to choose to believe Sakurajima Mai.

Mai Sakurajima walked through the crowded tents and came to a relatively open area, far away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, with only the occasional sound of the wind to accompany her.

She stopped and slowly took out a device that was flashing with strange light from her pocket - the Evolution Truster.

This is the source of her strength and the key to her ability to protect the world.

"Let me be the light!"

Mai Sakurajima drew out the Evolution Truster like she was drawing a sword.

As the Evolution Truster was slowly pulled out, a dazzling light burst out instantly, illuminating the entire sky.

In the light, Mai Sakurajima's body began to change, her figure gradually lengthened, her muscle lines became smooth and powerful, and finally, a silver giant tens of meters tall stood between heaven and earth. That was Ultraman Nexus, the Giant of Light, who descended on this war-torn land.

"what is that?"

There were exclamations from the crowd one after another, and everyone was so shocked by this sudden scene that they were speechless.
