Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

"...Okay, this is another outrageous thing." Iwanaga Kotoko really imagined it, and her face turned pale in an instant.

Although Taichi's words were somewhat exaggerated, for Iwanaga Kotoko, there was not much difference between being hit by a plane and being hit by this tank.

"...Is this the other world?" Iwanaga Kotoko looked at the vibrant new world below, then looked at Taichi and asked, "I have a question, why can we still breathe after leaving the Olympus domain and floating in the universe?"

"Who told you that was the universe?" Taiyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Iwanaga Kotoko and asked, "Although the principle is unclear, if we look into the essence of that space, it should be considered a special space sandwiched between many divine realms."

"Although there are no resources to provide organisms from zero to one, or to continue growing from one, there is air, and it is the perfect combination of ingredients that humans need to breathe."

"Well, I took it for granted that Earth's common sense doesn't apply to the other world." Iwanaga Kotoko opened and closed her mouth slightly, then sighed, "So, where are we going next? The capital of the new country?"

"Although I have not officially issued an order to make it the capital, Jianye City is indeed playing a similar role at present," Taiyi replied.

"Jianye City? This name sounds familiar."

"...Oh, I remember, the capital of Eastern Wu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms..." Iwanaga Kotoko reviewed her memories and then tapped the cane in her hand lightly.

……

"The city ahead is Jianye City." Taiyi suddenly stopped in the sky not far from Jianye City.

"Aren't you going in?" asked Kotoko Iwanaga puzzledly.

"Wait before you go in." Taiyi shook his head and replied, "Let's go and see why you came to me this time."

"Is there a tunnel entrance to this other world in Gifu Prefecture?" Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Taichi in surprise. "No way, you wouldn't have built the entrance to this other world around Jianye City, which serves as the capital, right?"

"It's right down there." Taiyi replied, pointing downwards.

"Aren't you really afraid that people on Earth will have bad intentions after discovering the tunnel?" Kotoko Iwanaga asked, rolling her eyes.

“Then I think that if they see Ultraman X at the tunnel entrance, they will definitely smile obediently, bow, and turn back immediately.”

"Not to mention that there are monsters on Earth helping to create the psychedelic array. No one except those with my permission can get close to the entrance of the tunnel."

Iwanaga Kotoko tapped her forehead with the end of her cane.

She almost forgot that the monsters lived in Taichi's territory, but they had to work.

"Your Majesty Taiyi." Hermes was the first to notice Taiyi's arrival. Leaving the chattering designers around him, Hermes came to Taiyi and greeted him.

"This is Hermes, the god of commerce, travelers, thieves and livestock in the Olympus pantheon." Taichi introduced him to Iwanaga Kotoko and Kurosawa Aise.

"Your Majesty, you are mocking me again." Hermes smiled bitterly and shrank his neck. "Now there is no Hermes, the god of commerce, travel, thieves and animal husbandry. There is only Hermes, the head of the Olympus Publicity Department."

"Oh, Athena enrolled you?" Taiyi looked at Hermes in surprise, "Not bad, you are the first one to be enrolled in the entire Olympic Games."

Athena is the concubine of the king of a different surname and Taiyi, and is above the organization, so naturally she is not included in the organization.

As for Gaia... although her position was clear, her situation was somewhat awkward.

After all, she is just a ghost body. Even if she can temporarily materialize through divine power, she still has no flesh and cannot sit firmly in a certain position for a long time, so she is not included in the organization either.

"No, I was only the second one to be recruited." Hermes shrugged and explained, "Hera was the first one to be recruited."

"She is now the director of the Olympus Marriage Department. Recently, she seems to be discussing with the King of Hanzhong about the common marriage laws between this world and Olympus."

Hera, the goddess of marriage and fertility, sister and wife of Zeus, and the third generation queen of the Olympian pantheon.

Of course, after Athena came to power, she was no longer the queen of heaven, but the head of the department in charge of marriage and fertility.

Taichi had never seen her.

Chapter 25: Iwanaga Kotoko finally asks for help

"…Ancient buildings are fine, after all, the current residents of this alien world are ancient people who lived hundreds or even thousands of years ago, but can you tell me what those skyscrapers are like over there? There's even a half-broken Statue of Liberty?"

Standing on the chariot, looking down at the ground from a high altitude.

Kotoko Iwanaga pointed in the direction of Jianye City, then pointed south-west of the city and looked at Taiyi and asked.

"Didn't I tell you?" Taichi spread his hands to Iwanaga Kotoko in surprise, "We, the second wave, were dragged into this different world, not only people, but also buildings."

"Not only are there modern skyscrapers, there are even Western-style arenas in Liaodong, and temples stand in the southwest."

"This other world is really wild." Iwanaga Kotoko was speechless.

Kurosawa Fengye just watched silently without saying a word.

After all, the education she received at Rishang Mountain did not include the content of the conversation between Taichi and Iwanaga Kotoko.

So she had no idea what the two were talking about.

"The second tunnel is connected to Gifu Prefecture. What exactly are you planning to do?" Kotoko Iwanaga patted her cheeks, suppressed her extra thoughts, looked up at Taichi with an expressionless face and asked.

"Nothing much, just an agreement with a certain family." Taiyi narrowed his eyes and replied, "The other party will bring the same family members who are willing to come to this different world... and bring the modern cultural knowledge of the Earth."

"Modern cultural knowledge from Earth?" Iwanaga Kotoko was stunned, then looked at Taichi in astonishment, "Are you planning to enlighten the people in this alien world!?"

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your brain?"

"The price of enlightening the people is the symbol of your declining power as the emperor!"

"That shouldn't happen." Taiyi shook his head and replied, "I unified the world through force and divine power. Even if I enlighten the people and improve their living standards, I will still be a hurdle that this world cannot overcome."

"What do you mean?" Taichi's words caused Iwanaga Kotoko to be confused.

"This world was originally barren." Taiyi explained, "I used my divine power and the authority of the world to materialize various resources."

"Food, water, and various minerals are all controlled by me."

"Plus my nearly invincible fighting power, as long as I am still the emperor, no one can suppress the imperial power that I represent."

"...Ah?" Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Taichi in confusion. Her chaotic brain was unable to process the various information that Taichi had just revealed.

But when Iwanaga Kotoko reacted, the long-lost "feeling of desire" suddenly surged into her heart.

After looking around and confirming that there were no monsters guarding her, Iwanaga Kotoko's facial expression suddenly twitched a few times, and then she revealed a slightly hideous smile.

"Taichi-kun, if I let the power of the Iwanaga family work for you... I wonder if you would be willing to protect me."

Tai paused for a moment, then looked at Iwanaga Kotoko with a serious look.

"Are you finally going to face reality?"

God of wisdom, princess.

This is what the monsters call Iwanaga Kotoko.

But if we shift our focus to the human perspective.

Then these two names can be replaced.

Human pillar, living sacrifice.

Losing the left leg and right eye is a ritual for the monsters to choose the god of wisdom.

But at its core, this ritual... feels unreal.

It was just the willful behavior of the monsters out of mischief.

Kotoko Iwanaga, who became the God of Wisdom, is special, but also ordinary.

Her ability to see the inhabitants of the other world was not granted by a ritual, but by a youkai.

She doesn't have any outstanding abilities, and even her so-called guards are more of a monitor for her, the God of Wisdom than a bodyguard.

Iwanaga Kotoko, who had a clear understanding of herself and knew clearly that she was the only one with a relatively bright brain, had already realized her true situation when she entered high school.

But she had no means to break the deadlock.

He can even only rely on the identity of the 'God of Wisdom' to survive.

Once the truth that she has seen through the deception of the 'God of Wisdom' is exposed, the first person to tear her apart will definitely be the so-called 'guard'.

Even though he had guessed that Taiyi was X, he never showed any sign of asking for help.

It’s not that Kotoko Iwanaga thinks that Ultraman X has no means to save himself.

On the contrary, as long as Aix shows his strength, the possibility of rescuing himself is almost 100%.

But the difficult part is the development after being rescued.

If Kotoko Iwanaga wants to survive, she needs to rely on the larger collective of human society.

As the God of Wisdom for so many years, no one knows better than her how serious the infiltration of monsters into human society is.

Even if she was rescued for a while, it wouldn't be long before she was forced to be controlled by the monster again.

For this reason, she even distanced herself from her parents and relatives after high school.

The reason why he issued a "cry for help" declaration to Taiyi this time.

Because she found a way out.

A 'different world' where no earth monsters have taken root.

Even if the entrance and exit of the tunnel on the other side of the earth happens to be in the new habitat of the monsters.

But what happened to Kotoko Iwanaga on Mermaid Island was not in vain.

She had already mastered the means to exorcise monsters.

In other words, as long as the Iwanaga family migrates to this different world, they will set up a barrier to drive away monsters at the entrance of the tunnel on one side of the earth.

Then she can really live in this world without any worries.

Moreover, she did not bring any monsters with her when she entered the other world this time. It can be said that her only chance to seek help and escape from the sea of suffering is right in front of her.

Iwanaga Kotoko could no longer bear it.

So she asked Taiyi for help.

"Face reality? No, I've always been facing reality." Kotoko Iwanaga looked at Taichi in surprise, then explained with a blink.

"It's just that reality is too cruel. All I can do is ignore reality as much as possible and immerse myself in the 'absurd dream'." Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Taichi with a smile, "But when did Taichi-kun realize it?"

"… Should I say it was at the beginning, or should I say it was after I learned about your so-called 'deification' ceremony?" Taichi scratched his head in confusion and replied, "Humans and monsters cannot perceive the world from the same perspective, let alone reach a consensus on various aspects..."

"For a human to become the 'God of Wisdom' who arbitrates disputes between monsters, even a third-rate scam wouldn't be so absurd."

Chapter 26: Some people always think they are in control

"Hiss - No, although I also thought it would be outrageous...but isn't this data too outrageous?"

Sitting at the desk, looking at the documents in her hands, Iwanaga Kotoko was so shocked that she leaned back.

"In just a few months, we have grown enough food to feed hundreds of millions of people for three years..."

Kurosawa Fengsheng, who was watching from the side, was also shocked.

"How many people are there in this world?" Iwanaga Kotoko looked up at Taichi and asked.

"I don't know how many people there were at the beginning." Taiyi knocked on the table in a mysterious manner and replied, "After all, the chaos was outrageous enough at the time, and no one was willing to conduct a census."

“But ever since I unified and established the country, the census has been carried out.”

"The latest data was provided ... three days ago."

"Although it is not perfect yet, there are still people hiding in every corner."

"The latest figure is 31,526,937."

"Well, even if the harvest is poor in the next few years, your stored food can keep these people going for seven or eight years." Iwanaga Kotoko said with emotion, "No wonder I haven't heard of any rebellion anywhere."

"However, with military control and the distribution of food and grain types based on the number of people, how long do you plan to use this system?" Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Taichi curiously and asked.

"At least there will be no chance to make big changes in the past few years before this world can no longer do without me." Taiyi shrugged and replied, "There are many resources that I have never heard of. Even if I want to use the world's authority to get them, I have to wait until the knowledge reserves reach the standard."

"When all kinds of resources can be obtained and the people here can be self-sufficient even without the blessing of world authority, military control can be abolished."

"...Your plan doesn't include making cell phones, computers, rockets, and airplanes, right?" Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Taichi strangely and asked.

"Just reach the level of the second technological revolution." Taiyi replied with a raised eyebrow.

"So, the purpose of building the second tunnel is to promote the technological revolution and introduce talents from Earth?"

"Talent or something... not that far yet." Taiyi scratched his head and explained, "Anyway, as long as they can master the modern technology of Earth, it will be enough."

"Are you planning to involve the Yukinoshita family?" Iwanaga Kotoko suddenly asked, "What level of bait did you give them?"

"I haven't given a positive response yet." Taiyi pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a gentle smile, "But if their achievements in the future can satisfy me, it's not impossible to give them one or two titles below the earl."

"I don't believe what you said." Iwanaga Kotoko pouted and said, "I have met the head of the Yukinoshita family a few times. I don't think that someone who would train his eldest daughter in that direction would be a person who abides by the rules."
