Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Whether it was to save face or because he had nothing better to do, from that day on, he picked up his thoughts again after tens of thousands of years of separation.

Until today, until this very moment.

Tregear was deeply shocked. He was stunned for a long time. Yes, Belial's idea was indeed different from that of the Land of Light and the Empire of Emperor. He had actually come up with a new idea in prison that sounded feasible just by listening to it.

But that's not the most incredible thing. What baffled him the most was that Belial, who had been constantly insulting the captain, didn't object to the underlying logic of the Land of Light.

"It sounds like you actually still acknowledge the justice and kindness of the Land of Light?"

“Why should I disagree?” Belial glanced at Tregear. “What’s detestable about the Land of Light is its weakness and pedantry, and what’s even more detestable is that bastard Ken!”

Torregia understood and realized what was happening.

Indeed, Belial was the second most powerful person in the Land of Light for a long time. If he genuinely hated and opposed the underlying logic of the Land of Light, how could he have gone nearly 100,000 years without any major problems, and only his methods and attitudes towards dealing with enemies were too cold-blooded and ruthless?

No matter how good a person is at disguising themselves, it's impossible to hide their true nature for ten thousand years.

Even after being spurred on by Alien Empera and the Captain, Belial's only thought was to find the Plasma Spark Tower and seek a path to become stronger—even if it violated the restrictions of the Land of Light, he still sought the power of light, not to take from darkness.

It was only after being discovered, punished, and expelled from the Land of Light that he calmed down for a period of time and was corrupted by Reiblood that he began to take such extreme and dark actions as invading the Land of Light and turning his back on his family.

All things considered, isn't it Reiblood who caused the fall into darkness?

When Belial invaded the Land of Light, was Belial's body controlled by Reiblood...?

Even if he asked, Beria certainly wouldn't be able to answer. Torregia shook his head and began to study the political system that Beria had mentioned again.

Putting everything else aside, in terms of efficiency alone, it is indeed much better than the current Land of Light no matter how you look at it.

Although this did not satisfy his confusion, it broadened his horizons.

So, will the instructors approve of Belial's ideas?

Torregia looked at Instructor Kasa.

Chapter 19 The Ideal of a Perfect Man: The Difference Between Belial and Kassa

Focused on by the starkly different gazes of Belial and Tregear, Kassadin remained largely unfazed. He pondered Belial's words for a moment, then asked with a hint of doubt:

"You think this is how a perfect person does things? I don't deny that it helps with efficiency... but what about the drawbacks that arise later? How do you plan to solve them?"

"When the rulers have certain preferences, the people will follow suit. If the Kingdom of Light becomes the ruler and a superior, and promotes our political system and ideology, then the ruled planets will follow our lead 200% in order to please us and gain more of our attention and protection."

"So, what about those people on those planets who, though kind, do not actively help others because they hate trouble, and who, though kind, do not agree with the ideology and political system of our Land of Light, but instead want to innovate and research on their own?"

"And those who are not inherently evil, but are curious about the darkness and want to learn about its history... and there are many more. What are you going to do with them?"

"In order to curry favor with the Kingdom of Light, some people on the ruled planets will inevitably go to extremes and forbid all freedom in all directions, and force them to follow us in thought and action. Such education will only become like a rope, strangling all individual freedom, and in the end, only walking corpses called the educational achievements of the Kingdom of Light will remain."

"While we cannot allow such a thing to happen, we are even less likely to be able to quickly detect and correct such errors, and such errors are bound to happen, and their number will not be small."

Once a policy of controlling education is implemented, the consequences are entirely predictable, and Beria was well aware of this.

But he wasn't stumped by this difficult question. Instead, he said confidently, "Even if ten out of a hundred planets went to this extreme, the remaining ninety would still successfully move towards the light. This is something the Land of Light can't achieve at all. Can you deny that?"

Kasa nodded: "I have to admit, but I still don't agree with your idea."

"Why?" Belial asked, his voice hoarse with displeasure. "These ten planets weren't victims; they destroyed themselves. Planets that go to such extremes would have gone to other extremes even if they weren't ruled by the Land of Light—are you really that averse to rule by perfect people?"

"On the contrary, if there really is a perfect person, a 'god', I would very much like him to rule the entire universe."

Kasa said very seriously, "But you are not perfect."

"To mortals, I am both a perfect man and a god." Beria repeated his self-centeredness once again.

Kasa slowly shook his head: "Perfect humans and gods cannot be relative terms."

"If there is a perfect person in the world, then he should be perfect. To everyone, he would earn the heartfelt recognition of me, you, and everyone else. He would earn everyone's respect and would also respect everyone equally."

"His actions will make all beings with self-awareness, all beings who can overcome their instincts, willing to give him a chance to negotiate, and in that chance, he will be able to persuade everyone without any doubt."

"Including farmers in backward civilizations who know nothing, including Alien Empera who sits on the throne, and even the King of Ultra in the universe."

"He will unite all that is known and all that is unknown, and war will only occur between creatures that can be altered and those that are born to destroy the world."

"His political system will not be wrong because he is always keeping up with the times. When the current political system becomes incompatible due to factors such as the times or technological progress, he has already foreseen it and begun to prepare to implement a more suitable political system."

"Under his leadership, any alien can get along with each other in a friendly manner while still maintaining their own uniqueness, freedom and individuality. A scene that has never appeared before will be born forever and will never fade."

“This is the perfect person, this is the world where gods exist—I sincerely hope that such a perfect person will appear to rule.”

Silence reigned.

In the dim prison, Torregia's fingers gently moved, and he felt as if his heart was being touched as well. Following the instructor's words, he also vaguely glimpsed such a world, how beautiful it was.

A world that is constantly improving and satisfying everyone, so dynamic and perfect, how could it not satisfy his confusion and curiosity?

"You're dreaming."

Belial sneered, his attitude unyielding, seemingly unfazed. "This kind of perfect person, this kind of god... could never exist even in a dream, kid. I think you're just deluded by your ideals!"

“Yes, such perfect people don’t exist. If they did, we would be living in a perfect environment by now,” Kasa nodded slightly, but his gaze remained firm and unwavering. He said softly, “I can’t even really imagine such people and worlds.”

"But I can't think of it, maybe someone can."

"This magnificent and vast universe has never lacked wise people, idealistic people, and people full of action. And I, we, the Kingdom of Light, and all like-minded and passionate people, our mission is to protect everything that deserves protection, to maintain everything that deserves maintenance, and to ensure that this universe..."

"They can be pampered until they become perfect people."

"And along this journey, as long as you have that intention, anyone can move towards becoming that 'perfect person.' I can, anyone can, even if we are still far from it, even if we can never truly become that kind of person."

"But every step closer is something to cheer and celebrate."

"Until the end... everyone can be a perfect person, then I will have no regrets."

Beria suddenly realized what was happening and let out a cold, sharp "Ah!"

His path is completely opposite to this kid's—every planet ruled by the Kingdom of Light reduces the possibility, and thus reduces the possibility of a "perfect person" appearing.

Because Kasa genuinely believes that Ultraman is no more noble or superior than anyone else.

Kasa genuinely believes that perhaps on other independent planets, one day they will develop ideas, political systems, and individuals that are closer to the ideal of a "perfect person" than the Land of Light.

Even after hundreds of thousands of years of evolution since the Land of Light, it remains the only and closest existence in the entire universe to being a "perfect human"—of course, Kasa obviously did not deny this fact.

Therefore, he never opposes spreading the ideology of the Land of Light to the outside world, and he himself has been doing so, because the Land of Light is currently the most superior.

The difference is that Kasa is voluntary; he is willing and wants to teach, but he does not force the other party to listen or follow.

Belial's enforcement will erase all possibilities outside the Land of Light!

Chapter 20: Monsters are the true ultimate life forms? Bullshit!

The Land of Light is a utopia where almost everyone born has lofty ideals.

Among these many ideals, Kassadin's idea of ​​a perfect man remains unique and awe-inspiring, moving everyone in the Land of Light—but Belial does not consider himself a citizen of the Land of Light.

The absolute perfection of a human being and a god meant absolutely nothing to Belial.

The important thing is that Belial is able to rule and promote his own order and ideology as the strongest and highest leader, and correct the entire universe under his control!

Belial and Kassadin stared at each other in a brief silence, neither speaking, which indicated their respective stances: neither had been persuaded by the other and both remained steadfast in their own policies.

Everyone had anticipated this.

For over ten thousand years, although after their first meeting during the prison break, Kassa was not allowed to visit Belial for the first few thousand years of his life due to concerns that he might be harmed by Belial, the two met again when Kassa had turned ten thousand years old and made a name for himself in the world.

From then until now, the number of times we've met has gradually increased over time, reaching more than twenty now.

Although these meetings, though not entirely open and frank due to various concerns, inevitably revealed some of our political views, and we all gained some understanding of each other's backgrounds.

Among all those concerns, one of them is whether they can persuade the other party to change their mind, understand them, and come to their side. However, no one has any confidence, so they all know to avoid it.

As for why the bomb was detonated suddenly at this moment without any warning...

Torregia understood.

Why did Instructor Kasa clearly state that he was an observer today, yet just now he watched him question Belial without doing anything or stopping him?

The answer is simple: he did speak with Belial, but it wasn't a discussion. He was merely a catalyst to introduce Belial's thoughts and knowledge, and Belial would then draw out the instructor's thoughts and knowledge.

The instructor brought him here so that he could witness the collision of the two and understand with facts that since the universe is still in its current chaotic state, it means that there is no absolutely correct thing yet.

Therefore, his so-called confusion could not be taught by anyone; he could only learn more on his own, think independently, and then devise his own unique answer for Torregia.

Perhaps Instructor Kasa is also hoping that Toregia can come up with a more complete answer than the instructor himself?

"Did you come to me today just to argue with me? Or are you here to answer this brat's questions? Hmph, if you, this lousy instructor, want to be responsible, go teach this little brat yourself. Why do I have to clean up your mess?"

Belial snorted coldly, sneering as he took the opportunity to belittle the Land of Light, saying, "The Land of Light is truly getting worse with each generation."

"You know what, I really did come to you about the next generation."

Kasa sighed, a hint of worry in his eyes. "I feel that the education in the Land of Light is still too backward. I think it would be better if I could talk to you about this."

"Huh?"

Torregia tilted his head in bewilderment, staring blankly at the two of them.

What about ideological clashes? What about the Cold War? Has the irreconcilable conflict really moved on so quickly? That's too fast, isn't it?

Belial ignored the blue-clan brat's question and stroked his chin, saying, "Where's that old good-for-nothing Ken? Doesn't he have any ideas?"

“Captain…” Kassa smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly. Both of them had fought their way out of an era of blood and fire, but the Captain and Belial were two extremes. The Captain’s gentleness was so extreme that Kassa felt it was too much.

“I knew it,” Beria grumbled, as if he had won a battle. “So, what do you think is the problem?”

"The training results were terrible."

Kassa paused for a moment, then said more carefully, "The lifespan of our race has not yet reached its limit. There are only Ultramen who die, not Ultramen who die of old age. But as long as you have talent, even the latest one can become a qualified security guard at around 10,000 years old."

"In the past, I thought this limit was acceptable; after all, I'm still just a young man."

"But the more I attended, the more I felt this was unreasonable, because I had seen too many illogical things... Many monsters do not need such a long time to grow into powerful beings. I have even seen a monster that took only three days from hatching to becoming a match for me."

"If we're talking about superiority, in terms of growth rate, the monsters are superior to us and all kinds of aliens."

Hearing this, Belial generally agreed, acknowledging that there were indeed many creatures whose growth rate far exceeded that of Ultraman. However, he directly refuted Kasa's last statement:

"Bullshit! Monsters are superior to me... you guys? It's not like you have to be ten thousand years old to graduate. You were already fighting outside at six thousand years old, weren't you?"

"Besides, after studying for so long, it's not just about increasing strength. Those all-around techniques and principles, the technological and scientific theoretical knowledge that are equivalent to a dimensional reduction attack on backward civilizations, don't they also require time?"

Tregear understood again—don't be fooled by Belial's constant insults towards the Land of Light, he still feels a strong sense of belonging to the Ultra race and doesn't like seeing them inferior to others; the old man is quite shy about it.

"You're not wrong."

Kasa did not argue, but gave another example: "Besides monsters, technology is also developing. With the development of technology, the time it takes for the Dark Nebula to create a qualified combatant will definitely become shorter and shorter, and the recovery ability will also become faster and faster."
