Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Inherited Light

Richard isn't the kind of fan who has a deep dive into Ultraman, but he also has a lot of hearsay.

Many people who have not watched the Ultraman series may have heard of the famous Ultra Star, which was set by Tsuburaya as a planet called "Land of Light" in the M78 Nebula. But many people who have watched the Ultraman series don't know that the name M78 was originally born from a small mistake. In Ultraman's original plan, Tsuburaya wanted to set the Ultra Star in the M87 system, but due to a typographical error, it was mistakenly printed as M78, so Tsuburaya simply changed the setting to M78 and continues to use it to this day.

Coincidentally, the first black hole ever photographed happened to be in the M87 galaxy. Merely......

...... Shouldn't it have been taken in 2017?

Richard clearly remembers that the photo of the black hole before his passage was taken in 2017 using the worldly horizon telescope, and it was not until 19 years ago that it was developed and released to the world. How many years has it been? It's only been 08 years, brother! Where did Coulson see the black hole picture in '08?

But after thinking about it, with the technology of the Marvel world, there was a rich boy in 08 years who flew around the world wearing DIY steel armor, and it didn't seem strange to take a picture of the black hole or something, and it was not impossible for them to solve this problem in the last century......

Coulson looked at Richard with a suspicious look in his eyes.

No, if you can't remember your house number, you can even make a mistake where your own galaxy is?

When Coulson first learned that the newspaper owner might be the god-like silver giant, he was quite apprehensive when he came to visit. But now, somehow, that tension is dissolving unconsciously, and it feels like the other party is not too different from ordinary humans.

But of course, this is just his subjective feeling. He's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and if he's learned anything from his boss, Nick Fury, it's that he should never let his feelings sway.

"Please cooperate, Mr. Lee, this is important." Coulson felt his head widen, "Are you really an alien?" ”

If the other party is really an alien, then Coulson thinks that his impression of the lofty word "alien" may have changed. Shouldn't the aliens in fantasy works all be advanced races with highly developed civilization and intelligence that break through the sky? Why does this alien give people the feeling that they will get lost when they go home......

"Okay, okay, I'm not an alien. I'm an earthling, but I have some ...... Well...... Special talent, it's as simple as that. Richard spread his hands.

"Some special talents", Coulson recalled the scene of the Ultraman battle, and his body trembled subconsciously.

This statement is simply not an "understatement".

"Mean, you're a superpower?" Coulson asked.

"It's a little different, but you can just look at it that way."

"So can you share how you gained your abilities?"

Richard looked at him with a blank face.

Since you have asked so sincerely, then I will tell you with great mercy...... This is because when I was watching a drama on the computer, the computer blew up, do you believe it?

Although this is the truth, the other party will definitely not buy it if you tell the truth.

Alas, it had a headache and had to make up lies, and Richard said that he really didn't want to lie...... Sure enough, this once again confirmed his point of view - no one listens to the truth these days, and everyone loves to listen to lies, which is very strange.

But come to think of it, it would be interesting if S.H.I.E.L.D. really believed his rhetoric about "gaining superpowers through computer explosions". S.H.I.E.L.D. itself is okay, in case the Hydra living inside S.H.I.E.L.D. learns the news, they will catch a bunch of strong men to do human experiments, let a bunch of Hydra soldiers watch dramas on the computer every day, and then manually blow up the computer......

Don't say it, this sounds stupid, but it's not something that Hydra can't do. After all, those guys want super soldiers and want to go crazy, they have tried all kinds of methods over the years, what's so strange about piloting home remedies? Even if this home remedy is a bit powerful......

Richard thought for a moment, then said, "There's something wrong with what you're saying, Agent Coulson. To be precise, it was not I who got the light, but the light who chose me. ”

"Light?" Coulson noticed his diction.

"Yes." Richard nodded and said, "I'm not the first person to have this kind of power, there are countless predecessors before me who have had this power and used it to fight evil. I am but a successor, one of the many chosen ones. ”

This is not something he said casually, but it can be regarded as the truth. The power of Nexus is such a thing, it will be passed from one fit person to the next, it is a power that will be passed on over and on. It's just that Richard isn't sure if that's the case.

"You're saying there were other Ultramans before you?" Coulson was shocked. Impossible, right? How could such a big guy have always existed on Earth, and no one ever found out? When everyone is blind?

"Yes, but I never said it was in this world."

Coulson asked cautiously, "So...... Or aliens? ”

"Perhaps, or maybe there are people from other parallel worlds in the multiverse...... But it doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just need to know that I'm the current successor. And I'm an earthling—the kind with a strong sense of racial honor and a high level of ideological awareness. "Richard is so skilled that he is memorizing a standard template for answering political questions.

In fact, this is the position he wants to show to Aegis. He didn't want to hide and pretend to be just a normal person, but he didn't want to be controlled either. So he made it clear to S.H.I.E.L.D. that he was extremely powerful, but at the same time he was part of the human race.

"Okay, I got it." Coulson asked, "So about the 'fight against evil' you just mentioned, does this 'evil' have anything to do with that thing in the early hours of yesterday morning?" ”

"That thing is called Xenobiotic."

"Xenobiotics?"

"Yes." Richard pondered for a moment, "I don't know where that thing came from, but there should be more than one. Xenomorphs have invaded world after world, fighting these things and stopping them from destroying the world, which is Ultraman's mission and the reason my ancestors have been fighting for it. Or maybe it's because Xenobiotic beasts are beginning to invade this world that Ultraman's light appears here. ”
