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

"The Land of Light will be destroyed by my own hands?" Casa chuckled, neither annoyed nor angry, and said meaningfully, "Well, as long as it's not destroyed by Reiblood, it's a victory."

"I reiterate, I have not been influenced by Rei Browne!"

Belial, neck stiff and stubborn to the extreme, slammed his hand on the floor, "What kind of Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to try and influence me? Do you even know the weight of the name Belial, huh? You go and take a stroll through the Dark Nebula right now and tell them I'm about to be released from prison, and I guarantee the entire universe will be terrified, and no one will dare to provoke me in the slightest!"

"If I were here, how dare those Baltan aliens, who aren't even ranked in the galaxy, get up to me? Start a war? What a joke! The Land of Light has utterly degenerated to this state!"

“It’s hard to say,” Kassa sat down on the ground. “Will the Aliens of Empera also keep quiet?”

"...His injuries haven't healed yet. It's pointless to talk about an injured person. I don't care to compare him to someone who's fallen from his peak." Belial's face stiffened, and he waved his hand awkwardly.

"Excuse me," Torregia obediently raised his hand, "Is Reibrando the Reibrando I know?"

Kassa nodded: "That's right, it's the one you know, Reiblood, who accomplished what even Alien Empera and Juda couldn't before, who once ruled the entire universe in ancient times and wielded the power of an emperor."

"What does this have to do with Belial?" Tregear asked in confusion. He knew that Belial had gained the power to control monsters like Reiblood after being banished from the Land of Light, but he never knew that Belial was actually affected by this old monster who had been dead for countless millennia.

Kassa succinctly stated: "When I was expelled from the Land of Light, Belial encountered the remnant soul of Reiblood and was forcibly invaded. Not only did his power increase, but his soul was also affected, which is why he has become what he is now."

Torregia tilted his head blankly. "How come I've never heard of it? It's not mentioned in any of the books in the library."

“Well, it was a deliberate blockade.” Kasa looked at Belial. “The captain told me that he regretted discovering too late that Belial was so concerned about his image, so he took some remedial measures.”

Based on his understanding of Bei Laohei since they met, Bei Laohei's obsession with saving face is particularly evident.

But it's not surprising that the captain discovered it so late. The main reason is that among all the Ultras in the Land of Light over the years, none of them would care about face to this extent. Who would have thought that Belial, the number two leader, would deliberately break the law just because he couldn't beat the captain?

Fortunately, after Bei Laohei was imprisoned, the captain's emotional intelligence finally gained some traction.

Everyone knows what prisons are for. Since the King of Ultra didn't sentence Belial to death, it means he still has a chance to repent.

But if Belial repents and gets released from prison, only to find everyone in the Land of Light mocking him, saying that the mighty Belial was controlled by a mere remnant of Reiblood's soul and lost his self-control, what a piece of trash! It's hard to say whether Belial will be so enraged that he will fall back into darkness.

So they simply left the reasons for Belial's attack on the Land of Light and his fall into corruption vague and unrecorded.

Currently, only a few high-ranking officials from both the Land of Light and the Emperor Empire know about this situation. Of course, if anyone in the Land of Light wanted to know about it, those few who know would tell, but basically no one wants to know about this.

"Hmph!" Belial, who was listening in, snorted coldly and proudly turned his head away. "That's utter nonsense. It never happened in the first place, so why bother blocking it?"

“No, you have to repent, old man.” Kasa shook his head helplessly. “We should be honest. If we don’t say anything, that’s fine. It’s an internal matter of our Land of Light, and we have no obligation to publicize it. But if we help you spread false lies, then we’ll be making a mistake.”

Beria scoffed, "Kid, trying to lecture me? You were probably nowhere to be found when I was being honest. When I said I'd kill your whole family, I meant it. When have I ever lied?"

He glanced sideways at Toregia, who was sitting as stiffly as a quail, and scoffed, "What, do you think this place is a nursery? One of you isn't enough, so you brought another one? Another problem child?"

"Don't overthink it. I just brought him here to see him. I'll talk to you today. Torregya is too young to participate in the discussion, lest you lead him astray." Kasa was protective of his son, giving him a heads-up.

"You have the right to say that?" Belial's expression was strange. "I think this brat is almost ten thousand years old. When you came to me all by yourself, you were less than five thousand years old, weren't you?"

"hiss!"

Torregid gasped in shock!

He knew the instructor was formidable, but he hadn't expected him to be this formidable and this ruthless. Chief Hikari had said that his Torregya was insane, but no matter how he looked at it, he was far less insane than the instructor.

"None of that matters."

Kasa shook his head, then became serious. "As you know, the Baltans invaded some time ago, and I did discover some things from that experience. I'd like to hear your opinions and thoughts."

Tregear, who was watching from the sidelines, thought that based on his previous performance, Belial would take the opportunity to curse the captain as a useless old Ken and then criticize the instructor. But at this moment, he did not do so. Instead, he focused his attention on the instructor and listened patiently.

That gaze seemed to be thinking... In the blink of an eye, the brat has grown so big? So mature?

Is this really Belial, the one who almost turned the entire Land of Light up?

Chapter 17 Witnessing Belial, A Grand Debut

Noticing Tregear's spying, Belial's expression instantly turned blank, but then, feeling that wasn't enough, he let out a mocking laugh.

"Let me guess, kid, what are you thinking? Are you wondering why the Baltans dared to invade the Land of Light? Or have you seen some flaw in the Land of Light during this war?"

Before Kassa could answer, Tregear couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it normal for the Baltan aliens to invade the Land of Light? What's wrong with that?"

“That’s not right, brat.” Belial scoffed dismissively. “I’m asking you, how does the strength of the Land of Light compare to that of the Emperor’s Empire?”

"Hmm... Right now, the Land of Light is probably a bit stronger, right?" After thinking for a moment, Tregear gave a fair answer, which was by no means arrogant or biased, but rather a comprehensive consideration of objective factors.

In terms of top-tier combat power, Father of Ultra and Alien Empera would eliminate each other, and the Four Heavenly Kings would be evenly matched with the four Ultra Brothers—at worst, they could add Great or Neos as well.

One million space guards is indeed far fewer than all the armies in the vast territory of the Emperor Empire, but there is a minimum guarantee of quality. The army on Emperor's side is of varying quality, and it is impossible for all of them to be elite. Some aliens or monsters would require several of them to take down a single guard.

Of course, even so, due to their absolute numerical disadvantage, the Space Garrison would inevitably be at a disadvantage in the event of a full-scale war—this was the case before the invention of life solidification technology.

However, thanks to the great Director Hikari's last work before his fall, the Land of Light has nothing to fear from the regular army side.

In this situation, Instructor Kasa and a few other frontline fighters who are not restrained by opponents can easily find a breakthrough on the battlefield and tip the balance of the stalemate toward the Land of Light—of course, this is an optimistic scenario.

In reality, although the Emperor's Empire doesn't outwardly display its strength, everyone knows that their high-level combat power cannot be limited to just the Dark Four, so overall it's still a 50/50 split.

Then why does the Land of Light still have the upper hand?

Hmm... well, that's a question for the legendary criminal in front of us who doesn't seem to have fallen into darkness at all and is currently in a labor camp.

Still young and innocent, Tregear is guileless and speaks his mind directly: "After all, if a fight breaks out, we can release Belial to help, right?"

"Pah! If this damn Land of Light is going to be reduced to something that I have to save, then we might as well just destroy it!" Belial exclaimed in disgust.

"Uh..." Torregia said cautiously, "So, excluding you, it's probably about the same?"

"And then?" Belial asked.

Torregia was completely bewildered: "And then what?"

Belial shook his head impatiently. "Since the two countries are evenly matched, has the Emperor Empire ever been coveted by such a worthless trash as the Baltan aliens?"

It seems, it appears, eh, there really isn't?

After careful consideration, Torregia realized that, so far, the only country that dared to directly fight and openly oppose the Emperor's Empire seemed to be their Land of Light.

Even the Galactic Federation and the Andrew Guard did not do this. Although the Andrew Guard had its reasons, as their main duty was to hunt down the remaining remnants of the Gua Empire, it was also true that they did not declare war on the Emperor Empire.

On the side of justice and order, there is only the Kingdom of Light. As for the dark side... the last force that dared to declare war on the Emperor Empire was 30,000 years ago. At most, there are some scattered individuals who dare to challenge the power of the Emperor aliens, and then they are chopped into mincemeat.

Thirty thousand years ago, on the eve of invading the Land of Light, the Emperor Alien had already become the emperor of darkness. Even after being defeated and wounded by the captain, no one dared to take advantage of the situation to challenge him and his empire.

Of course, this doesn't mean that no one dares to attack the Emperor's Empire. If invaded, various forces will naturally resist, but such resistance is a last resort.

In contrast, the Land of Light has suffered countless invasions since 30,000 years ago. Even at its headquarters, where a captain is stationed, there have been repeated attempts by intruders to sneak in and make trouble.

Isn't this comparison too stark?

"Why is this happening?" Torregia murmured to himself, something he had never considered before.

"Hmph, don't you understand? Are all the Blue Clan members this bad now? They're not even as comprehension as that Silver Clan brat Kasa, how dull-witted!"

Belial clicked his tongue in disdain. "Their styles—that's the root cause. To put it another way, it's essentially because the Land of Light's system and ideology are flawed!"

"If the Land of Light doesn't undergo reform and evolution, it will forever remain a failure. That bastard Ken is just a coward, always turning a blind eye to this. He's a complete waste!"

The number of times I heard the captain being scolded today is more than the total number of times in the past ten thousand years, and probably more than the total number of times in my entire future life. After all, whether it's good or bad, apart from Belial, there really isn't anyone else who thinks the captain has anything wrong with him.

Torregia feels a little numb.

But his curiosity compelled him to continue the conversation: "What do you mean?"

Belial glanced at Kassa, who hadn't stopped him, paused briefly, and without saying a word, immediately began to instigate and spread his exclusive Belial ideology.

But Tregear suddenly paused, finally realizing something and understanding what Belial might say. He said disapprovingly, "What you're trying to say isn't that you want the Land of Light to follow the same practices as the Emperor Empire, is it? That won't do."

He also knew about the Empire of Empera. If he had to choose between the two sides, at least for now, Toregia still preferred his own side.

Of course, there's another point. Since he hasn't found a solution to his current confusion, everything he knows doesn't meet his requirements. The political system of the Emperor Empera Empire also fails to satisfy him, and he has no interest in listening to Belial boast about the ideology and system there that he already knows about.

"What kind of daydreaming are you having?" Beria sneered dismissively. "I admit that Emperor Abela is a ruthless and powerful figure, but do you think I'm some kind of trash who would stoop to picking up scraps from others?"

"Oh?!"

Torregia sat upright, watching intently with anticipation and longing. It would be so exciting to learn new knowledge!

He had to listen carefully to what the perfect world looked like through the eyes of Belial, a man who had traversed both the legal and illegal worlds and whose complex experiences had shaped him.

Chapter 18 The Land of Light? The Star of Light?!

"The reason why the Land of Light and the Emperor Empire suffer such a huge difference in treatment is fundamentally because the Land of Light lacks an iron fist. But the essence of this is that the Land of Light is a good person!"

"You're a good person, so you won't do anything to me even if I make a mistake; you're a good person, so the price I pay for failing to bully you is perfectly acceptable; you're a good person, so you should unconditionally accept the moral shackles and reputational predicaments we've given you."

"You're a good person, so we can act recklessly towards you, because the risk of doing so is a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times lower than the objective profit!"

"All life in the universe is like this. Regardless of whether they are good or bad by nature, they will always seek advantage and avoid harm, following their instincts to pursue the path of maximizing benefits, even if they know that this is short-sighted, even if they feel that they should not do it, but in the end they will still do it. That's how foolish mortals are!"

"This kind of ignorance can never be suppressed without a perfect person to lead and expel it!"

Beria spoke vehemently, and Toregia nodded repeatedly, thrilled. "That's right, that's right!"

He knew about the ignorance of the masses, but he had never thought about it deeply before. Now, this veil had been violently lifted, leaving him mesmerized. It was an unprecedented arena of witnessing, where magnificent wisdom shone brightly and radiated before him.

Just then, Kasa, who had been watching quietly, finally spoke after witnessing the student's attitude: "However, there are no perfect people in this world."

"To mortals, we Ultramen can be gods, or we can be perfect humans." Belial turned his attention away from Tregear and coldly replied to Kassadin, "I am a god, and I am also a perfect human!"

Kasa asked, "So what are you planning to do?"

“A true hawk.” Belial said without hesitation, “The justice and goodness promoted by the Land of Light are too outdated, inefficient, and often inconsistent. Even if they save a planet and guide a generation of beings on that planet, a hundred years later when they go back, everything has changed, and all these interests and benevolence have been thrown to the back of their minds!”

"This fatal flaw can be completely erased, kid, you know that too, don't you?"

"The reason why the situation is repeated is that the Ultraman who guided and led them has left, and the education has become intermittent. So as long as the education is made continuous, the probability of repeated coverage can be reduced to a minimum."

"It's very simple to do this: rule!"

"For every planet saved, it will be incorporated into the territory ruled by the Kingdom of Light, and its political system and ideology will be promoted. It will be bound to the Kingdom of Light, and the inertia of time will be used to solve all problems."

"If anyone is misled and corrupted, broadcast the news live throughout the entire territory ruled by the Kingdom of Light, reset the surface of that planet, and carry out a biological cleansing! Execute both the upward education and the downward threat!"

"Whether it's a planet, a galaxy, or a nebula, if they accept the compulsory education of the Land of Light for thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years, or even longer..."

"So even if the Land of Light were to perish one day and become dust in the universe, this education would still have a tremendous momentum and continue to be promoted. This is true education, and only then will it truly achieve its goal!"

Belial's sharp hands suddenly gripped the chains binding him, and he unconsciously revealed an expression of ecstasy as he imagined the world he had envisioned.

After witnessing the overwhelming power of Alien Empera and Ken 30,000 years ago, he has been desperately pursuing power, wanting to obtain power equal to theirs. Later, he was invaded by the remnant soul of Reiblood, and his mind became even more violent and irritable.

Single-mindedly pursuing power, needing nothing else, this brain-dead pig brain never changed even after being thrown into prison.

Until more than 10,000 years ago, a brat who was very confused about the Land of Light and the order of justice broke into the prison and ignored his terrifying aura that was still full of murderous intent, and asked him for his opinion on all of this.

His eloquent words failed to fool a mere brat who was less than five thousand years old.
