Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

But... my wife is still prettier!

Minghui muttered something under his breath.

At this moment, Niki's voice rang out again. She looked at the God of War in front of her and said solemnly:

"Amaterasu, did you really believe the enemy's lies just now?"

"No, Ms. Niki!"

The God of War glanced at the radiance in Niki's palm, then looked curious about the other's identity, but didn't ask. Instead, she shook her head at Niki and said:

"I will no longer hold such naive ideas. They are the enemies who invaded my country, and believing them is irresponsible to this country."

"That's more like it."

Upon hearing this, Niki nodded and said:

"Remember, never trust your enemies under any circumstances, and never show undue mercy. You are a queen, and excessive mercy will destroy you and your country."

"I understand."

The God of War stood up straight, nodded solemnly, and looked like he was listening attentively to the instruction.

Seeing this, Minghui blinked, feeling a sense of déjà vu as if a primary school student was standing in front of him.

At the same time, he was also somewhat surprised.

Is that all it took to straighten it?

Good heavens, that's Queen Amaterasu, who embodies a whole host of flaws, including a saintly heart, an idealist, a seeker of free will, and a love-obsessed mind!

He turned back into a normal person in just two days?

Niki, you must have used magic!

Minghui couldn't help but look up and cast an admiring glance at Niki.

Niki noticed Minghui's gaze. Although she didn't understand why he was looking at her like that, she couldn't help but puff out her chest.

"Ms. Niki, what should we do next?"

At this moment, the God of War spoke again, asking Niki a question.

She had expected Niki to guide her as before, but this time Niki shook her head and said:

"The rest is up to you to decide."

A faint glow emanated from Niki, her body slowly becoming ethereal, and her voice grew faint:

"I have taught you everything I need to, and I believe you can make sound judgments."

As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of light spread out, and Niki and the radiance in her hand disappeared from the spot.

Seeing Niki leave, the Goddess of War felt a momentary panic, but she quickly calmed down, nodded, and whispered:

"We will not let you down."

Then, she turned around and stared at a distant hilltop.

On that hilltop stood a ferocious figure—it was Quinn!

"Ow!"

At this moment, the Kuin was still chirping, its eyes fixed on the God of War, with a hint of pleading in them.

Both originate from the Tree of Life, which gives them a subtle connection.

Because of this connection, even though the God of War knew it might be some kind of conspiracy, she couldn't help but feel a momentary stirring in her heart.

But it was only for a moment; the God of War immediately came to his senses and suppressed the impulse.

She stood there for a while, silently thinking.

A moment later, she withdrew her gaze from Quinn and turned to look at another battlefield.

“Kuin is not an ordinary Baalzeb, he will not be so easily dealt with, at least not by me alone.”

Watching the two figures who had already dealt with two Baalzebub and were now taking down the other two, the God of War whispered:

"Therefore, I need to free up our combat forces first."

The next moment, she moved and rushed towards that direction.

During the rush, her eyes flickered, and she thought to herself:

"We'll determine the truthfulness of its words after we defeat Kuin. If it's true, I can grant it peace, but if it's false..."

............

"Ow!"

As the God of War departed in another direction, the mournful cry emanating from Kuin's mouth suddenly changed, becoming filled with rage.

Its thick feet couldn't help but stomp on the ground, and a terrifying force emanated from it. The small mountain couldn't withstand the force and collapsed with a loud 'boom'.

But Kuin didn't take this small matter to heart at all. It flapped its wings and flew into the air.

Then, it raised its head and let out a sharp cry that carried far away.

The sound carried a special power, traversing vast distances and reaching into outer space.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so figures suddenly appeared from somewhere and marched towards the planet's surface in a mighty wave.

............

On the hill where the prayer ceremony had been held, a white light shone, and the figures of Niki and Minghui emerged from the light.

Minghui stepped forward, glanced at the God of War's movements in the distance, and chuckled.

"That's impressive. You've managed to educate the Queen in such a short time."

His gaze followed the figure of the God of War until it reached another battlefield, at which point his eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

Gauss and Bella fought against two Baalzebub. The latter were unpredictable, their attacks fierce, and one slap sent Baalzebub sprawling.

But Gauss...

Not only did it maintain its moon goddess form, but its attacks were also not very powerful, and it was frequently countered by the enemy.

Wow! Master Gao, you're still paddling!

Minghui was heartbroken and shook his head vigorously.

Honestly, if Gauss hadn't been so careless, and had actually taken things seriously, this incident would probably have been over long ago, and there wouldn't have been all this messy behavior afterwards!

Unfortunately, Master Gao is used to paddling, and it will probably be difficult for him to change.

"That child isn't actually that bad. She mainly lacks the right people to guide her, which is why she has so many idealistic ideas."

Niki came to Minghui's side, took his arm, and said:

"Given someone's patience and guidance, she will become a qualified queen."

"I don't know if I can become a qualified queen, but at least I have some normal human thoughts."

Minghui shrugged and spoke.

"Amaterasu is not as bad as you say."

Niki laughed and playfully punched Minghui on the shoulder.

"Really not?"

Minghui glanced at her and said quietly.

"Uh... um..."

Niki was speechless for a moment. She recalled what Queen Amaterasu had done before, and then had to admit that Minghui was right.

This child can change, but he was indeed a bit outrageous before.

"Ow!"

At that moment, cries rang out in the sky, and the sounds were layered and complex.

Niki looked up and her expression suddenly changed:

"So many?!"

A dozen or so giant Baalzeb swooped down from the sky and flew toward the battlefield.

Although Baalzeb's fighting strength wasn't particularly high, the sheer number of them gathered together was enough to cause a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation.

Not to mention they also possess dangerous puppet poison, which elevates their threat level to another level.

"Don't worry, look, we still have helpers."

But Minghui smiled and pointed to the sky.

Orb and Dyna arrived late, chasing after the dozen or so Baalzebub, constantly firing beams of light at them.

They spared no effort, and under their attack, several unlucky ones exploded in the sky.

Seeing this, Niki breathed a slight sigh of relief, then, as if remembering something, she spoke up:

"By the way, I've discovered something. There seems to be something wrong with that tree."

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at the Tree of Life not far away.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Minghui's eyes flickered, and he cast an inquiring glance at Niki.

He had only recently discovered that the Tree of Life might have a problem, and he never expected that Niki would also discover a problem.

However, I wonder if they are talking about the same thing...

"I've been spending the last two days with Queen Amaterasu, teaching her. She has developed a deep trust in us and even took me to the ritual to transform into the God of War. It was during this ritual that I discovered this."

As Niki spoke, she pulled a rather antique-looking book from her pocket.

She handed the book to Minghui and said:

"It talks about the Tree of Life, but the people in this country don't seem to value it or believe in it much; they just treat it as a myth. But I think it must be true."

"Hmm, let me see."

Minghui became interested, and he reached out and took the book, flipping through it.
