Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

“Those native monsters are not only larger than us, but also stronger and more ferocious in attack. Their claws can easily tear our scales and their sharp teeth can crush our bones.”

I still remember the memories passed down from my ancestors: countless of my kind screaming as they fell, torn apart and reduced to nothingness by those monsters. That fear of being relentlessly pursued and constantly on the verge of death is etched into the genes of our people, and I will never forget it.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex's voice was filled with barely concealed lingering fear, and his speech quickened involuntarily. "Now that we've finally managed to escape the Naga's cruel control and have a chance to return to Earth, our biggest fear is repeating the same mistakes and falling back into the desperate situation of being hunted by monsters. So this time, we're determined to cling to the humans! This isn't cowardice; it's for the survival of our race."

When it came to the phrase "clinging to someone's coattails," it made no attempt to hide it, instead displaying a do-or-die frankness. The restraint in its tone vanished completely, replaced by a touch of endearing naivety: "Damn it, we can't keep going like before, helpless and alone, being devoured by those monsters! As long as we have advanced human technology as a backing, plus the protection of strong individuals like you who can directly confront alien forces and monsters, we can at least have a stable living space on Earth. We won't have to live in constant fear anymore, and we won't have to worry about becoming someone else's meal one night."

Cui Ming sat in the pilot's seat of Feitian No. 1, his fingertips lightly resting on the control panel, without immediately responding.

As if sensing his potential doubts, the Tyrannosaurus Rex took the initiative to explain the crucial question: "You might be wondering why our dinosaur race, imprisoned for so many years, doesn't hate humans? The answer is simple: we share the same fate! We are controlled by the Naga, preyed upon by monsters, and live a difficult and humble life; aren't humans the same? For years, we have been invaded by various alien forces, harassed and threatened by all kinds of ferocious monsters, and constantly face the risk of extinction."

"In a way, at least our dinosaur race has strong bodies to struggle and fight back, even if the hope is slim, we can still give it a shot. But the physical strength of humans is simply too fragile to withstand in the face of those monsters and alien forces, and it is difficult to even put up the most basic resistance."

Its tone carried a touch of heartfelt emotion, along with a hint of admiration for humanity: "Even so, you did not give up. Instead, through the efforts of generation after generation, you continuously developed new technologies, gradually accumulating the strength to fight against danger. While hiding from those powerful enemies, you tried every means to improve yourselves. Essentially, you were all struggling to survive in the cracks. Everyone's life is difficult; we are all oppressed and threatened, sharing the same predicaments and demands. How could we hate each other? We only hope to stand shoulder to shoulder with humanity, supporting each other to survive in this perilous universe."

Silence fell over the communication channel again, but this time it was not awkward at all. Instead, it was filled with understanding and empathy for each other's situation. Only the steady roar of the two spaceship engines echoed in the universe.

Several seconds passed before Cui Ming's calm voice finally came through, sounding gentler and more resolute than before: "I understand your thoughts and concerns. Humanity has never been a solitary species, and the safety of the Earth has never been protected by a single species. Regarding your request for asylum, I will immediately relay your situation and sincerity to the Earth headquarters. I believe the headquarters will consider all aspects and give you a satisfactory answer."

Hearing Cui Ming's clear and affirmative reply, the Tyrannosaurus Rex visibly relaxed, its tense nerves completely unwinding. Its voice regained its elation and excitement, even becoming somewhat incoherent: "That's great! That's really great! With your words, we're completely relieved! From now on, our dinosaur clan will stand loyally by humanity's side and become our most reliable ally! Whether it's fighting alien forces or clearing out those ferocious monsters, as long as there's anything we can do to help, just ask, and we'll never hesitate!"

As the words fell, the flames from the engines of the two spaceships shone brighter in the deep universe, like two beams of hope, steadily moving towards Earth, carrying the beautiful expectation of the two races to survive side by side and fight against external enemies together.

Listening to Tyrannosaurus Rex's straightforward yet earnest words, Cui Ming leaned back in the driver's seat, his fingertips lightly tapping the edge of the control panel, his mind churning. He had to admit that the dinosaurs' fate was indeed quite unfortunate.

Ultimately, the core problem lies in the fact that the game version is outdated! Cui Ming sighed inwardly. Before being abducted by the Naga, the dinosaurs might have been able to barely survive in Earth's ecosystem, but during the many years they were imprisoned and controlled, everything in the outside world changed rapidly, but their evolution was abruptly paused.

All of this was caused by the Naga! Those alien scum treated the dinosaurs as mere tools, only thinking about extracting their genes to breed war monsters, and would never allow them to evolve in a way that adapts to Earth's current environment. On the contrary, in order to better control them, they may have used various means to restrict their natural evolution, leaving their combat power and survival ability stuck in the era when they were abducted.

But Earth's monsters are different. In recent years, with changes in the cosmic environment and the infiltration of various extraterrestrial energies, Earth's native monsters have evolved at an astonishing pace, each generation stronger than the last, with increasingly sophisticated skills and adaptability. Even if the dinosaurs were to return to Earth now, without external protection, they simply couldn't keep up with the evolutionary speed of Earth's monsters.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex was right before; they used to be food for monsters, and if they return isolated and helpless, they will most likely repeat the same mistake. After all, in the current "version," their combat power is already outdated. They have a huge size but lack the evolutionary advantages to match the current dangerous environment, which is the key reason why they are determined to cling to humans.

Cui Ming shook his head slightly, a hint of understanding in his eyes. The dinosaurs' resilience and will to survive were indeed admirable, but the "version gap" inflicted by the Naga couldn't be easily bridged by brute force. This was a key reason he was willing to help them convey their message—Earth needed allies, and these "outdated" but loyal dinosaurs might find a new way to survive with human help. (End of Chapter)
