Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

"I have a bad feeling."

In a future universe, inside a Star Guide command center, a high-ranking Star Guide dressed in a dark robe suddenly spoke, his voice trembling slightly, breaking the silence of the command room.

"The leader is dead again?" A young star guide next to him subconsciously chimed in, his tone full of numb indifference.

The Star Guides fell silent instantly, and the atmosphere in the command room became extremely oppressive.

The leader is dead again.
Why say "again"? Oh right, they've experienced it too many times; they've long since become completely numb. Indeed, how many times, how many cycles has it gone through? The news of the leader's death is like everyday life, constantly assaulting their senses, until even grief becomes a luxury.

Our leader, couldn't you please stop provoking that overpowered thing, Storm One? What's the point of fighting it to the death? Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

According to the intelligence just sent by the Star Guides Alliance, they finally understood why their leader always failed—Storm One, this incredible thing, had actually been fighting all along, and its record was so outrageous it was terrifying.

"This guy is a nightmare for all the other aliens!" A Star Guide slammed his fist on the control panel. "What did the Allies say? He wiped out 99% of their forces by himself?! Do you even want to hear what you're saying?! How could a human possibly do that?!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the holographic screen in the center of the command room suddenly lit up, and the Star Guide's AI system popped up an analysis report: "Warning! According to the battle data analysis, we need to mobilize twice the strength of our entire race to make the target 'Storm One' feel the strain."

"Hiss!" All the Star Guides gasped, their faces filled with horror. Twice the strength of their entire clan was needed to make the enemy struggle? This was simply not a match for them!

An elderly Star Guide slumped into a chair, waving his hand dismissively: "Alright, we're done! This war is unwinnable; if we continue, our entire clan will perish here. Issue the order to withdraw all operations against Storm One, and stay away from that scourge from now on!"

The Star Guides in the command center nodded in agreement; no one raised any further objections. Faced with an existence as formidable as Storm One, their last struggle was futile, leaving only an overwhelming sense of powerlessness and uncertainty about the future. Their ominous premonition had become a cold reality; they could only retreat and pray that terrifying being would never come knocking.

“No, Elder. The future leader will be angry.” A young Star Guide spoke cautiously, his voice barely audible, yet like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the slight relaxation that had just begun to emerge in the command room.

"..." The group of Star Guides were all stunned. The next second, suppressed sobs rose and fell in the command room, and some people even cried out loud.

"Aren't you bullying us?!" A Star Guide suddenly stood up, pointing at the projection of the future leader's commands on the holographic screen, his voice filled with grievance and anger. "We did this specifically to keep you from dying, voluntarily withdrawing the operation and staying far away from Storm One. Why can't you understand?!" Of course, they only dared to do this after their leader was dead.
Despite the complaints, the workers still got their jobs.
Unfortunately, they all knew it was too late to say anything now. The leader was completely blinded by rage, as if possessed by something, single-mindedly determined to fight Storm One to the death, and no amount of persuasion could stop him!
The squads sent earlier were all wiped out, but the leader not only failed to learn from the experience, but also thought that there were not enough troops. When the Allied forces reported that Storm One had a terrifying record of fighting against 10,000 enemies, the leader said that the Allies were exaggerating and were trying to boost the morale of others while diminishing their own.

"What did we do wrong?" An older Star Guide clutched his forehead, slumping into a chair in despair. "Knowing that charging forward was suicide, we still gritted our teeth and charged ahead. Wasn't this just a pointless sacrifice?"

The young Star Guides exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with confusion and fear. They could sense that following their future leader's orders would only lead to the same fate as countless times before—a crushing defeat and yet another death for their leader. But they dared not disobey orders, and could only watch helplessly as they marched step by step into the abyss.

The cries in the command room grew louder and louder. The once invincible Star Guides were now like a group of helpless children, caught between a powerful enemy and a stubborn leader, unable to move forward or backward, and left with only endless despair.

These guys are truly desperate now! The crying in the command room never stopped, and every star guide's face was filled with helplessness. Even the most steadfast elders had their heads drooping, staring blankly at the ceiling, as if they had already accepted the tragic end that was about to come.

Of course, the Star Guides were unaware that their teammates already harbored a lot of resentment towards them.

On a secret Allied communications channel, several aliens of other races were cursing at the Star Guide's combat records.

"Your leader is dead, so what? Can you stop causing trouble?" An alien with pointed ears slammed his fist on the table. "What the hell is this?! Are you out of your minds?"

Another alien covered in scales pointed at Cui Ming's combat data on the screen, furious: "Look at you guys! You were all wiped out, and instead of learning your lesson, you sent even more troops. Isn't that just sending yourselves to their deaths? And you call it 'testing their strength,' but I think you're just being their sparring partners!"

"This guy's combat power was already incredibly high!" An energy alien floating in the air excitedly flashed its light. "He used to have to put in some effort to deal with us, but now, thanks to you guys feeding him moves time and time again, his combat experience is skyrocketing, and he's becoming more and more proficient in various tactics and techniques. What the hell is this, turning him into an invincible war god!"

They grew angrier as they spoke. They had allied with the Star Guides, hoping to use their power to fight Storm One, but instead, the Star Guides not only failed to help but also made the other side stronger.

So that's why this thing became so powerful—it's related to you guys!
If this continues, let alone defeating Storm One, it's hard to say whether we ourselves will even survive!

The main reason they didn't expect that the Star Guides, who were using time weapons, would actually send Storm One through time along with them! And they even retained their experience!
Holy crap! This is unplayable! (End of Chapter)
