The year when Asuka and Horse disappeared into the light was not as far away as imagined.

In 2005 at TPC Worldview took place two major events that affected the future.

One is that the Peace on Earth and TPC were formally established and replaced the United Nations.

Former UN Secretary-General Sakui Sakui was appointed as TPC's first Chief Officer, and former UNDF Admiral Yoshioka was appointed TPC's Chief of Police.

This is a change that everyone expected at the time and will have a huge impact on the future.

The establishment of TPC has brought human society to a united and holistic approach for the first time in a real sense.

And unlike what many people think, this time the union and the whole have lasted until the distant future.

In fact, whether it was the early period of peace on Earth when Sawai was the director, or the period of space development when the TPC hawks began to dominate after Sawai stepped down, the factional struggles and power struggles within TPC were not as fierce as imagined, and those who failed in the struggle were not dealt with, and even the vast majority were not marginalized, but continued to shine as human elites in important positions for mankind's cosmic journey.

The second thing is something that was not realized until many years later.

In the 2005 zero-type navigation experiment, the experimental machine and plasma 100 type line were unknown. The test pilot, Kazuma Asuka, disappeared into a ray of light, leaving behind the legend of "the famous pilot who disappeared into the light".

As a direct result of this incident, a new giant of light, the hero of humanity, Dinah, was born.

With the disappearance of Dinah, the insuka Shin, in 2020 from the wormhole created by the collapse of the gravitational field when Sfia was wiped out, a new anniversary of the dawn of light has emerged in human society.

And even at this time, the aftermath of Asuka has not actually disappeared.

In 2033, Ryo Yumimura will become a test pilot for the fourth experiment of the New Zero Aviation Method.

In the Neo Zero Drive navigation experiment, when he was accelerated to the speed of light, Yumimura Ryo learned the truth for the first time: Asuka Nobu's father, Asuka Kazuma, came into contact with light earlier than his son, and fused with light to become Ultraman and fight in the universe.

Ultraman Dinah himself is a fusion of Asuka Kazuma's will.

Yumimura meets Nobu Asuka in the light and learns that Asuka has evolved into a life form of light that surpasses humans.

Of course, these future events are known only to Casto, and because of his presence, the story inevitably has a little deviation, and this deviation appears in Asuka Kazuma.

Asuka Kazuma in the original book, as the first and only giant of light in human society who turned into light at that time, even if he knew that there was an enemy in the universe, he could inevitably only control his combat distance in the solar system, so that he could return to Earth as soon as possible after the crisis on the earth.

A cold knowledge that is not cold, in the background of the original story, on the day the pyramid appeared, after Melba and Gorzan woke up, there were actually two giants of light in the solar system, and Asuka Kazuma flew towards the earth for the first time at the moment when he sensed the abnormality, but when he came to the sky above the earth, the Tiga transformed by Dagu had defeated the resurrected monster.

But due to Castor's appearance, there are actually more than three known giants of light on Earth, not to mention the two remaining stone statues, as well as other humans who may become giants of light.

Because the balance of power on the earth is tilted in the direction of human beings, the current Asuka Kazuma does not need to stay in the solar system to continue to protect human civilization, but can continue to move towards the universe by his own will.

And this step made Asuka Kazuma realize that there was something wrong with the situation in the universe.

Keigo Masaki relied on calculations to calculate the number of civilizations in the universe that could actually conduct space voyages, and Asuka Kazuma discovered through personal experience that there were problems with the number of civilizations in the universe that could truly conduct space voyages.

You must know that Asuka Kazuma is a pilot, and he is the most cutting-edge aircraft of mankind, and the only test pilot of Zero Aviation, and his sensitivity to space navigation is naturally far greater than that of others.

So when Asuka Kazuma entered the wider universe, he also discovered the same thing as Keigo Masaki, that is, except for those Sfia spheres that he regarded as enemies, the universe was actually quiet and a little scary.

It's not that there are no civilizations capable of cosmonautics, but that there are too few such civilizations.

You must know that as the father of the cosmic street runner, Asuka Kazuma is also a natural cosmic street runner, and some things are inherited by the family.

Asuka Shin: "Why did Dad go to the universe?" ”

Kazuma Asuka: "Because, I'm a human being. ”

Nobu Asuka: "Humans? ”

Kazuma Asuka: "In the deep valleys of Africa, a group of apes learned to use props and seemed to form the first humans. When they look up at the mountain, they must have thought to themselves: What is behind that mountain? They come out of the deep valley and head towards a world they don't know, losing countless companions in one failure after another. ”

Asuka Shin: "Why? Isn't it easy to live in a deep valley? ”

Asuka Kazuma: "That's it, human. That's why I'm here.

When Asuka Shin was a child, this conversation between him and his father Asuka Kazuma is a portrayal of their life creed.

'Explore! It's the 'ninja way' of the Asuka family.

Obviously, when Asuka Kazuma left the solar system, he quickly spent all his time outside of the battle exploring the universe like a wild horse on the loose.

And then, a phenomenon that surprised him a little appeared, that is, the civilization in the universe is actually not small, and there are even many civilizations in the universe that seem to be more powerful than human beings.

However, these civilizations, without exception, have not developed the ability to travel interstellarly, and at most can only carry out some space exploration and expansion within the star system.

Like Keigo Masaki, Kazuma Asuka, who is the top astronaut of mankind and the top test pilot of mankind, also thought of the 'Fermi paradox' that has plagued mankind for decades, and he found the answer to the 'Fermi paradox'.

At first, Asuka Kazuma thought that the answer was simple, and the reason for the 'Fermi paradox' was because other civilizations in the universe were unwilling to look up at the stars, and he thought it was because these civilizations did not have the instinct to expand.

But when he continued to go deeper into these civilizations, he was surprised to find that it was not their spirit of exploration that limited these civilizations, in fact, every civilization that could develop into a modern civilization had a spirit of exploration, and what really limited them was something else-

For example, when civilization begins to explore the universe, the mysterious 'Cosmic Sphere of Light/Sphere of Light Lifeform' will appear;

For example, when civilization begins to develop interstellar voyage-class engines, mysterious 'mechanical islands and mechanical lifeforms' will appear.

Yes, the mysterious 'Cosmic Sphere of Light/Sphere of Light Lifeform' above is the familiar 'Sfia Sphere' of Asuka Kazuma.

And the mysterious 'mechanical island and mechanical lifeform' below, Asuka Kazuma is not sure what it is, but he also realizes that it is a mysterious enemy like the Sfia sphere.

As a result, Asuka Kazuma came up with a new answer to the 'Fermi paradox'.

That is, there is a mysterious force in the universe, which interferes with the progress of civilization in the process of development of civilization and adjusts the number of interstellar civilizations in the universe.

Although this conclusion sounds a bit outrageous and seems very unreasonable, from the perspective of Asuka Kazuma himself, combined with his experience, this conclusion is reasonable.

You must know that the starting point of the battle between Asuka and Sfia is that humans are trying to use the Zero engine to find a way for humans to conduct space travel.

In Asuka Kazuma's follow-up in-depth understanding, he learned that some civilizations in the universe did not fail to go to the 'positive and antimatter annihilation engine', that is, the current Max power system on the earth, on the road of climbing the technology tree, but when they had just succeeded in the development, they were attacked by the universe and had to interrupt the research and development of the 'positive and antimatter annihilation engine'.

The terrifying thing is that when they stop working on the 'Positive and Antimatter Annihilation Engine', the mechanical lifeforms that attack them will suddenly disappear into their world, as if they were predetermined.

If it's just like this, Asuka Kazuma can't think of the so-called 'cosmic order', after all, in his cosmic journey, there are still civilizations that can break through this limitation, although there are not many, but there are still some civilizations that have broken through the limitations of this so-called 'mechanical island and mechanical life', and developed their own 'Max power system', becoming one of the few interstellar civilizations in the universe.

What really frightens Asuka is that the 'Max Power System' has been developed, but it is only the 'Max Power System', and even civilizations that already have the ability to travel interstellar are only constantly optimizing on the basis of the 'positive and antimatter annihilation engine'.

It seems that these civilizations in the universe have broken through the limit of the 'positive and antimatter annihilation engine', which is the upper limit of the way the universe can sail.

But Asuka Kazuma knew that this was not the case, because he himself had used more advanced spaceships.

Compared with the 'positive and antimatter annihilation engine', the light-speed engine, which can theoretically accelerate to the speed of light, has no trace in the universe at all, as if this technology does not exist at all.

Asuka Kazuma's scalp was tingling with this reality, and two possibilities came to his mind.

First, human beings are the most intelligent civilization in the universe, and only human beings have thought of the possibility of being able to travel at the speed of light.

Second, all civilizations that have attempted to travel at the speed of light have disappeared from the universe due to the intervention of some mysterious force.

Asuka Kazuma hopes that the truth of the truth is the first, but unfortunately, based on his own experience, Asuka Kazuma has come to the conclusion that the second possibility is the truth of the universe.

"Whether it's the so-called mechanical islands and mechanical life forms that humans haven't encountered yet, or the Sfia spheres that humans have actually encountered." Kazuma Asuka concludes to Keigo Masaki and Castor, "The development of civilizations in the universe is actually limited. ”

"If you really intend to establish the so-called human empire, then we will face these enemies that limit the development of cosmic civilization in the future, and we will face in the future."

"If that's the case, then that Imperial blueprint you gave me." Keigo Masaki looked at Castor with a frown, "So you deliberately used the Atlantis as their ship?" ”

"Empire. What empire? Asuka Kazuma was stunned for a moment, "The Emperor of the Universe?" Or what other empire? ”

The corners of Castor's mouth twitched, and then he quickly interrupted, "It's a distant empire, and it doesn't matter. ”

"But I didn't realize it when I said that." Asuka Kazuma suddenly said suspiciously, "The earth is so habitable, it stands to reason that those civilizations that can carry out interstellar travel should have come to the earth a long time ago, after entering the modern society, the various messages sent by human beings to the universe should have already been detected by those civilizations in the universe that can travel interstellarly." ””

"The technological level of the civilizations in the universe that can travel interstellar is basically ahead of the Earth in an all-round way." Asuka Kazuma seemed to have thought of something, and became even more puzzled, "And in this way, why are there so many monsters on the earth?" ”

"No, this kind of super-evolutionary level lifeform is actually not as much as imagined in the universe, and my main enemy is actually the Sfia sphere."

He scratched his head, his face full of doubts and puzzlement, "I didn't notice it if you didn't say it, it doesn't make sense?" ”

"Nope! According to you, it makes sense. Casto and Masaki Keigo looked at each other, and then said a little strangely.

Asuka Kazuma looked at the two of them, and knew that what was next was what he didn't know, a special place on earth, thinking of this, he silently poured himself another glass of wine, intending to hear the story he didn't know.

"I advise you not to drink it yet." Keigo Masaki glanced at Asuka Kazuma, and then said to himself, "About 30 million years ago, a super ancient civilization was born on the earth. ”

"Poof!"

Asuka Kazuma's mouth squirted out all the wine, and he stared at Keigo Masaki and Kasto with wide eyes, "Wait? What's that? ”

Keigo Masaki threw a towel over without surprise, and then continued, "I will give you the information later, to put it simply, the earth was invaded by the darkness of the universe 30 million years ago, and the ultra-ancient civilization at that time attracted light from the depths of the distant universe in the process of fighting the darkness. ”

"This dark force is the root of the monster events and supernatural events on Earth, and that distant light is the root of the giants of light on Earth."

As he spoke, Keigo Masaki suddenly paused, and then pointed at Casto, "Of course, I don't know what this guy is, anyway, he and you and I are not the same kind of light." ”

"Stop! Wait! Asuka Kazuma was even more shocked than before, he pointed to Casto and said, "I don't care what he is, do you mean, that dark root, some dark monster, is still in the deep sea of the Pacific Ocean of the earth?" ”

Keigo Masaki frowned and glanced at Casto, "Didn't we tell him anything before?" ”

Casto shook his head, "I don't remember. ”

Keigo Masaki's eyelids jumped, and then he looked at Asuka Kazuma, "Didn't you notice it at all?" ”

"I notice," Asuka muttered, "I'm stupid, really, I only knew there were some weird things on Earth, but I didn't know they were that weird."

"Forget it, this thing has nothing to do with you, it's our responsibility." Keigo Masaki waved his hand to signal Asuka Kazuma to be quiet, "As I said before, you are in charge of the universe and we are in charge of the earth." ”

Speaking of this, Keigo Masaki turned on the virtual projection device, and then a star map of the solar system appeared in everyone's sight, he pointed to the border of the solar system and said to Asuka Kazuma, "According to you, the current civilizations in the universe that can carry out interstellar travel have all been 'tested', that is, the 'filter' in Fermi's paradox, then I can understand that their detection of energy is above the earth." ”

Asuka Kazuma nodded, "That's right, they also have to avoid the Sfia sphere in the universe. ”

"Then the conclusion is obvious, even human beings can actually perceive the problems of the dark sea in the deep Pacific Ocean at close range." Keigo Masaki pointed to the location of the star map on the Earth, the Pacific Ocean, and then to the border of the solar system.

"Then those civilizations with a higher level of technology than the Earth and can carry out interstellar voyages, we can make a hypothesis that they may have noticed the existence of the Earth and have appeared on the borders of the solar system, and even, to be more bold, they have appeared near the Earth."

"But because of their detection of energy, they will soon discover that there is a terrifying existence in the interior of the earth, and this existence is the reason why human civilization has been able to develop with peace of mind."

"That's not right!" Asuka Kazuma retorted, "As far as I know, the Earth has actually been visited by cosmic people and extraterrestrial civilizations, and not all cosmic civilizations can detect the dark energy you are talking about. ”

Suddenly, Asuka Kazuma felt as if he was dazzled, as he noticed that a sincere smile appeared on Masaki Keigo's face, "Yes, you're right, that's the problem, there is such a dark energy on the earth, but there are still civilizations that want to invade the earth. ”

Keigo Masaki suddenly covered his face with his hands and said in a somewhat trembling voice, "In theory, no civilization should come to Earth, but in fact, some civilizations are coming. ”

Casto tilted his head to look at Keigo Masaki, and he swore that he heard this guy laugh.

"This shows one thing, that is, these civilizations that come to the earth either have a level of technology that happens to be similar to human civilization and cannot detect the danger on the earth, or they have a problem with their brains and know that the danger is coming." Keigo Masaki said excitedly with an obvious smile,

"Thanks to the gift of nature, these civilizations that dare to come to the earth are simply the natural nourishment of human civilization."

Casto is sure that Keigo Masaki was taken by someone, and he doesn't know who made him what he is now.
