Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

The world consciousness launched a brutal and desperate revenge against Gendo Ikari, but Cui Ming, far away in the Ultraman Tiga world, was completely unaware of it and had no interest in the grudges and entanglements of other worlds.

He was currently busy setting up the gun-wielding monster, a fusion of old weapons, in his newly renovated secret base. His fingertips danced back and forth on the specially designed energy control panel, carefully adjusting the newly constructed energy supply device.

The control panel screen was filled with a dense stream of data. Cui Ming's eyes were focused and sharp. He would occasionally raise his hand to adjust a few parameters to ensure that the Eberon cells imprisoned in the monster's core could stably provide energy to the monster, while also ensuring that his subsequent research on the Eberon cells could proceed smoothly without any unexpected energy disturbances.

However, even if someone were to cross the dimensional barrier right now and tell Choi Myeong the whole story about the world consciousness taking revenge on Gendo Ikari, he would most likely just raise an eyebrow casually, put down his debugging tools, and casually comment "Well done," before continuing to immerse himself in his research.

Cui Ming has never had any goodwill towards those who, through their own foolish actions, have thrown the entire world into chaos and nearly caused a catastrophe. He also doesn't think the World Consciousness's retaliatory measures are excessive. In his view, all disasters caused by stupidity should ultimately be borne by the instigators themselves. They have only themselves to blame and have no one else to blame.

Cui Ming knew all too well the destructive power of "idiots."

What makes these people so terrifying is never their personal strength or advanced technology, but their illogical thought processes and their reckless, irrational actions.

To put it simply, a monster defense line painstakingly built by a group of experienced warriors over several weeks, or a battle plan painstakingly developed and repeatedly tested by a group of researchers, can often be completely ruined by a stupid idiot's sudden idea or a self-righteous foolish operation.

What's worse is that this kind of idiot not only destroys other people's hard work, but also drags innocent people around him into an abyss of no return, making everyone pay for his stupidity.

Therefore, according to Cui Ming's code of conduct, there is no need to waste time reasoning with such stubborn and idiotic people who are inherently prone to disaster, nor is there any need to try to correct their distorted perceptions and ideas.

The most direct, effective, and preventative approach is to strike them down completely, eliminating them with overwhelming force and eradicating any potential future problems at their root.

Trying to reason with an idiot is inherently stupid; it only wastes your energy.

Of course, this applies to the perilous environment of the Ultraman Tiga world.

In a peaceful, everyday world free of monsters and alien invasions, Cui Ming's choice would be much simpler if he encountered such an idiot—the easiest and most efficient way would be to stay far away, as far as possible, out of sight, out of mind.

After all, in a peaceful world, the destructive power of idiots is limited. There's no need to dirty your hands for such people, and to avoid being affected by their foolish actions and needlessly adding trouble to your life.

However, in the world of Ultraman Tiga, where monsters and aliens appear one after another, various crises can break out at any time, and the living space of mankind can be compressed at any time, one cannot have the wishful thinking that "it will be fine if you stay away".

In this life-or-death situation, you must remain vigilant at all times. Once you discover these idiots who could cause a huge disaster, you must find a way to eliminate them, and do so cleanly and decisively, leaving no room for maneuver and giving them no chance to cause trouble.

After all, you never know what kind of amazing thing an idiot might do.

They might, on a whim, deliberately provoke powerful monsters that are simply impossible to defeat.

They might make foolish judgments and destroy the city's key defense facilities or energy cores without authorization.

They might even act like Gendo Ikari, using forbidden methods to tear apart the dimensional barriers of the world in order to satisfy their own selfish desires, bringing terrifying beings from other worlds into their own, and causing the entire world to suffer annihilation because of their stupidity and selfishness.

No one can afford to take this risk, and no one dares to gamble on it.

Gendo Ikari is the most typical and tragic example.

Although Cui Ming didn't recognize this man from another world, the mere fact that he "didn't hesitate to stir up world events and nearly destroyed the entire world for his personal obsessions" was enough to place him in the ranks of "top-tier idiots," and the kind with immense destructive power that had to be eliminated first. What Cui Ming didn't know was that Gendo Ikari wasn't fighting alone; behind him was an equally insane and selfish committee secretly fueling his actions, providing support and resources—making them veritable accomplices.

Clearly, the all-powerful world consciousness had no intention of letting these accomplices hiding behind the scenes go unpunished.

Even after dealing with Gendo Ikari, the main culprit, its pent-up anger had not completely dissipated. Those committee members who hid in the shadows, thinking themselves safe, would also not escape its revenge—the wrath of the world's consciousness was not so easily quelled.

"Hmph, a bunch of cowardly rats hiding in the shadows, thinking they can get away with it by stirring things up from behind?" The voice of the World Consciousness echoed in the endless void with a cold mockery, every word filled with undisguised malice. "Since you dare to cause me such big trouble, you should be prepared to bear the consequences! I'll make sure you have diarrhea forever! Diarrhea during the day, diarrhea at night, diarrhea until your legs are weak and you can't stand up, diarrhea until you're dehydrated and unconscious, diarrhea until you question the meaning of life, I'll make sure you live in the toilet for the rest of your lives!"

Diarrhea alone seemed insufficient to quell the fury of the world's consciousness. After a moment's contemplation, it conceived of an even more vicious and torturous punishment: "Diarrhea alone is not enough! I will also instill taste buds in your stomachs! I will make everything you eat taste like excrement, and everything you drink taste like swill! Even the finest delicacies will taste like chewing wax to you, and may even trigger violent vomiting! I will make you suffer endless torment, both physically and mentally!"

Imagining the committee members suffering agonizing pain from diarrhea and bizarre tastes, the World Consciousness's long-suppressed emotions finally subsided somewhat. Its tone carried a hint of smug satisfaction, and it sneered, "Hmph! This level of punishment is nothing more than a piece of cake for my World Consciousness; I can do it with ease! Those who dare challenge my bottom line, those who dare cause me trouble, should be prepared to pay a heavy price! This is just the beginning; even more exciting 'surprises' await you!"

It's important to understand that the world's consciousness is extremely vengeful. Let alone a near-collapse, life-or-death situation, even the smallest trouble, if it crosses its line, will be remembered and repaid with interest.

There's really nothing that can be done about it. After all, no being could remain indifferent after experiencing the terrifying prospect of almost being completely wiped out. The World Consciousness itself had already been severely weakened by the foolish actions of Gendo Ikari and the committee behind him. The dimensional barrier had shattered, and monsters from outer space had invaded. Every step it took was a slide towards complete destruction. It had barely managed to stabilize the situation with all its might and almost didn't make it through. Given all that, how could it not hold a grudge? It would be a disservice to its near-annihilation if it didn't thoroughly punish those who started it all.

In short, never underestimate the vengeful spirit of a world consciousness that was nearly destroyed. Their methods of retaliation are far more numerous than imagined, and each one precisely targets the opponent's most unbearable vulnerability. The mental torture inflicted on Gendo Ikari, forced to "eternally watch his beloved belong to another," and the physical torment inflicted on the committee members with "endless diarrhea and taste buds growing in their stomachs," are just the beginning. Even more devastating punishments await them.

However, although the World Consciousness is vengeful and vindictive, it hasn't forgotten the gift it promised to Choi Myung. Previously, it had been temporarily put aside due to its focus on repairing the world and dealing with Gendo Ikari and his gang. Now that its urgent matters are settled, the idea of ​​preparing a gift for Choi Myung has resurfaced.

What it prepared for Cui Ming was not just ordinary supplies, but a complete set of carefully selected and highly adaptable technology tree blueprints—covering multiple key areas such as energy conversion, weapon enhancement, and defense construction. These blueprints combined the technological essence of its own world with optimizations for the environment of the Ultraman Tiga world, and could be applied directly upon receipt, enough to elevate Cui Ming's combat power and scientific research capabilities to a new level.

But halfway through the preparations, the world's consciousness suddenly paused, a question nagging at it. To be honest, it was unsure whether Cui Ming truly needed its own technology, given the power system of the Ultraman world he inhabited.

It's important to understand that the Ultraman world boasts near-bug-level powerhouses like the Giant of Light, and research teams like the GUTS team that constantly push the boundaries of their capabilities. Cui Ming himself possesses exceptional combat talent and weapon modification abilities, and even has a controllable gun-wielding monster by his side. In contrast, while their own technology is quite sophisticated, it doesn't seem indispensable within the broader context of the Ultraman world. It might just be icing on the cake for Cui Ming, or even completely useless.

After some thought, the World Consciousness decided it didn't matter. It was already prepared, and regardless of whether Cui Ming needed it or not, Cui Ming had helped it by noticing anomalies in dimensional fluctuations, which was a small favor in itself. The promised gift should naturally be delivered. Whether Cui Ming wanted it or not was his business; the World Consciousness just needed to deliver the gift as agreed. With this in mind, the World Consciousness sped up its work on the technology tree blueprint, intending to deliver the gift to Cui Ming as soon as possible.

The gift promised by the world's consciousness arrived faster than expected. Without any warning, a soft, pale blue beam of light suddenly appeared in the center of Cui Ming's secret base. After the beam dissipated, a cluster of crystal chips carrying the blueprints for the technology tree were neatly arranged on the ground. Upon seeing this, Cui Ming and the Victory Team technicians who were assisting him in debugging the equipment immediately gathered around. After checking and confirming that there were no abnormalities, they successfully received this generous gift from another world.

The group quickly reviewed the contents of the crystal chips, becoming increasingly delighted with each reading. The world consciousness had indeed sent a considerable amount of technology, covering key areas such as energy conversion, weapon enhancement, defense construction, and vehicle upgrades. Each technology came with detailed application instructions and adaptation plans, eliminating the need for any effort to adapt it to the environment of the Ultraman Tiga world. More importantly, a large proportion of these technologies were truly useful, many urgently needed to combat monsters and aliens, essentially providing a leap forward in Earth's combat capabilities and scientific research.

Among the many practical technologies, a weapon blueprint called "N2 Aerial Thunder" immediately caught Cui Ming's eye. After only a preliminary look at the parameters, he couldn't help but nod in admiration: "This thing is good enough!"

This N2 aerial bomb is not a traditional nuclear weapon, but a non-nuclear weapon with extremely high yield. Essentially a thermobaric weapon, its technology is similar to that of metallic hydrogen weapons. According to the blueprint, its explosive yield is approximately 1.8 tons of TNT equivalent, comparable to a tactical nuclear weapon, although its yield density is slightly lower than that of a true nuclear weapon, thus avoiding the subsequent harm of nuclear radiation.

To compensate for its insufficient power density and achieve destructive force approaching that of a tactical nuclear weapon, the N2 aerial bomb employs an ultra-large projectile design, filled with a massive amount of special explosives. Once detonated, the temperature at the blast center can instantly soar to 100 million degrees Celsius, creating a high-temperature environment of thousands of Kelvin within the blast radius. Accompanied by a violent shockwave and high-pressure airflow, it can inflict devastating damage on targets within its range. According to the description accompanying the world consciousness, this weapon, in its original world, was one of the core weapons specifically designed to effectively kill Apostles.

Cui Ming quickly analyzed the weapon's applicable scenarios: "Given the high temperature and shockwave intensity, its effectiveness against monsters with thick hides and extremely strong regenerative abilities might not be top-notch, since many monsters have a much higher tolerance for high temperatures and impacts than expected." He then changed the subject, a sharp glint in his eyes, "But for attacking alien spaceships, it's absolutely a divine weapon!"

It's important to understand that while most alien spaceships possess robust protective capabilities, their complex internal structures and highly sensitive energy cores and control systems are extremely vulnerable to extreme temperatures and shockwaves. The N2 aerial bomb's intense heat can instantly melt a spaceship's external armor, while its powerful shockwaves can directly destroy its internal core components. Furthermore, its non-nuclear nature allows for unrestricted use within Earth's sphere without fear of triggering a nuclear contamination crisis. Whether intercepting incoming spaceships or raiding alien temporary bases, the N2 aerial bomb can play a crucial role.

The Victory Team technicians beside him grew increasingly excited, quickly saying, "With this blueprint, we can rapidly mass-produce the N2 aerial bomb! Combined with our existing fighter fleet, our counterattack methods will be much more diverse in the future when facing alien invasions!" Cui Ming nodded and immediately decided, "Prioritize the mass production of the N2 aerial bomb. Other useful technologies will be developed gradually according to priority. With these things, our confidence in dealing with crises will be greatly enhanced." (End of Chapter)
