Chapter 197 Ultraman—Communication with Ultraman

"Our civilization's methods of recording knowledge surpass those of Earthlings," Ripia said expressionlessly, wearing Shinji Kaminaga's face.

Dio chuckled and said, "Let's go, this isn't a place for chatting."

The two left the library. Dio's tall stature and face, whose nationality was difficult to discern, made the locals dare not look him in the eye. He led Shinji Kaminaga away, and the people behind him were all discussing it.

They all thought some soldier had kidnapped someone, so they lowered their heads and remained silent.

“You’re not from this planet, are you?” Ripia asked.

Dio turned around and looked at his expressionless face.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"As an alien, how can you be so prestigious?" Lipia looked curiously at the people around him, who all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the two of them.

Dio was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Ripia, you should know one thing: in this country, those who can act arrogantly are not the locals."

Ripia was also taken aback, not understanding what Dio meant. Then, through Shinji Kaminaga's memories, she compared Dio's appearance and finally understood the specific reason.

Ripia remained expressionless, shaking his head and saying, "Just the low-level fun of carbon-based life forms."

Since Dio and Lypia couldn't communicate on the road, they had no choice but to find a secluded mountain forest.

"Speak, alien, what is your purpose?" Ripia asked.

"Don't be so nervous, Ripia, no, I should call you Ultraman now." Dio took out a phone and opened the news on it.

The news report showed the scene where netizens announced that the giant would be named Ultraman.

Ripya, wearing Shinji Kaminaga's face, looked at Dio, waiting for Dio to continue.

“Okay, not cute at all. Your Ultraman is really serious.” Dio put away his phone.

"As Ultraman, or rather, as pure energy beings, you should know about the existence of the multiverse, right?"

Ripia nodded; of course he knew.

As a member of the Star of Light's external cosmic guard, I've heard theories like the multiverse and parallel universes countless times during my studies.

“Life forms similar to Ultraman exist in other universes as well, and I just wanted to see the difference between the Ultraman in this universe and those in other universes. But now it seems…” Dio looked Ripia up and down and shook his head in disappointment.

Only now did Ripia show a semblance of emotion, looking at himself with suspicion and asking curiously, "Is there something different about me?"

"Speaking of which, you Ultraman have indeed abandoned the chest timer, which looks like a weakness, but your social structure and combat power are very different."

As Dio spoke, he pulled out a tablet-like device and began to record.

Ripia said, "You didn't call me out here just for this, did you?"

Dio nodded: "Of course, do you expect me to fight you to the death? Don't be ridiculous, I'm a pacifist."

Ripia fell silent. As an Ultraman, or rather, as a high-dimensional being of pure energy, he clearly sensed that the other party possessed an absolute high level of energy.

That powerful energy reaction was comparable to Zetton, the strongest single-target planet-destroying weapon on the Star of Light.

Ripia didn't believe that only a pacifist who could talk big could do that.

"So, what's the difference?" Ripia asked patiently.

He needs to nurture the body of Shinji Kaminaga, whom he killed, so his combat ability is greatly reduced. It would be most unwise for him to start a conflict!

"Could you tell me in detail what superpowers you have? I mean, the ones you can use in your giant form."

Ripia was silent for a moment before nodding.

Is there such a thing as Ultra Telekinesis?

"Ultra telekinesis? Is it the same as telekinesis? Of course I can do it."

"What about teleportation?"

"Yes, but it can't be activated at any time. It requires a long wind-up, so I usually only use teleportation when leaving the battlefield."

"What about the clone technique?"

"what is this?"

"Uh... okay, what about getting bigger or smaller?"

"That's possible, or rather, every member of the tribe can do it."

Dio nodded and continued asking.

After asking all the questions, Ripia unconsciously crossed his arms and said, "Are these questions what differentiates us from other Ultramen in the universe?"

Dio: "Of course, my conclusion for you is the difference between the two Ultramen from different universes. Although the data looks the same, there is one last question, which is also the key!"

As he spoke, Dio raised a finger and became serious. Ripia was also somewhat surprised and unconsciously became serious as well, staring intently at Dio.

"One last question is... do you think materialism or idealism is more important?"

"???"

Ripia instantly felt that Dio was playing him.

However, his excellent character allowed him to resist the sudden urge to slap Dio.

After thinking for a while, Ripia said, "The whole world is materialistic. Idealism may exist, but its uncertainty is too high. Therefore, I believe that while idealism is important, materialism is the most important!"

Dio continued to write and draw on it, nodding occasionally, and a "So that's how it is" piqued the curiosity of the man in front of him.

"May I know what you wrote?" Ripia couldn't suppress his human curiosity and asked.

Dio glanced at him, nodded, and handed the item to him.

Ripia couldn't wait to take it and examine it.

The text describes in detail his information and that of another Ultraman who looks similar, but the other is much stronger, with his pectoral muscles appearing as if they are inflated.

Ripia glanced back and forth between the record and Dio, somewhat bewildered, and finally could only say helplessly, "Are you sure this is me from another world?"

"Your mood has been quite volatile today," Dio replied, seemingly unrelated to the question, but his words carried a hidden meaning.

Lipia was startled. He realized that his emotions had indeed become more volatile after seeing Dio today. He swayed for a moment, then returned to normal.

“You’re really awful,” Ripia sighed.

Dio waved his hand.

“That’s enough for today. Next time, I’ll find an Ultraman from another world to talk to you.” Dio patted his shoulder, paused in his steps as he was about to leave, turned around and looked at Ripia, and said, “To be honest, what you should be most concerned about right now is not observing humanity, but that because of your appearance, a large group of threats from the universe will descend upon Earth.”

Ripia's heart, which was about to relax, tightened instantly at Dio's words. He thought of something and then hurriedly called out a name into the air.

"Zoffy! Zoffy!"

Seeing this, Dio didn't linger. He waved his hand and disappeared without caring whether the other party saw him or not.
