Ultraman: This Belial only wants to make money.

Chapter 43. Humans are all powerful!

"Really? Are we Earthlings that strong?"

"But what he said seems to make a lot of sense. Why arrest strong men instead of scientists? What era are we living in? Is this some kind of historical drama where war is fought by individual strength?"

"Could it be... that what the mysterious masked man said is true? Are humans really not weak?!"

The barrage of comments swept across the screen like a blizzard, causing a huge uproar. Jin Yi's remarks caused a great uproar. Perhaps because they had always been the victims, Earthlings subconsciously believed that extraterrestrial visitors were mysterious, powerful, and invincible beings.

But Abbas's reaction didn't seem fake at all. This invader who had traveled across distant galaxies to Earth seemed to really just a country bumpkin who had never seen the world before!

The barrage of comments scrolled faster and faster, and the popularity soared. This scene was not only seen by ordinary viewers, but was also being broadcast live at TPC headquarters.

Director Zejing, watching the live stream, couldn't help but recall his conversation with Jin Yi before organizing the event—

"Director Sawai, what do you think humanity lacks right now?"

Without waiting for Director Sawai's reply, Jin Yi blurted out what the director was thinking.

"Courage and confidence."

Humans, as the most intelligent of all beings, dominate the Earth. However, since the beginning of the new century, various mysterious phenomena and challenges from outer space, along with powerful enemies, have emerged one after another, each causing heavy losses to humanity.

Some ideologies, some negative and backward ideologies, began to spread among the people. After a series of failures, even capitulationists began to emerge.

Although the appearance of the giant of light, Tiga, slightly lessened this atmosphere, some pessimists still believe that humans are no longer the primates of Earth; they have lost the courage and pride of being human and dare not take another step forward.

During the Ligadron Annihilation War, this ideology even influenced the personnel of the Earth Defense Organization. All attacks organized by humans were ineffective, and resistance was more like a kind of self-comfort. In the end, it was still Tiga and the intruders who had to clean up the mess.

After all, we are human beings, and Earthlings are still too weak in the universe.

Anyway, isn't it enough to just accept Ultraman's protection?

The idea of ​​cowardice is even more dangerous than a monster.

"Director Sawai, what Earthlings lack now is not strength, but courage in the face of invaders—we must make our people and warriors realize that Earthlings are not weak."

"What an amazing young man!"

Looking at Jin Yi speaking eloquently on the screen, Director Zejing couldn't help but sigh.

------------

But within the venue, this invisible battle continues.

"Are you insulting me, Earthling? The noble warriors of Abbas will never accept this!"

Abobbas's expression changed drastically. Even though the images projected by Galactron proved that the overall strength of Earthlings was by no means inferior to that of Stendel, the pride of a warrior could not be compromised.

"Is that so... Weakness is not an obstacle to survival; ignorance and arrogance are, Abbas."

Jin Yi sighed.

"Leaving their homeland and sacrificing their lives for their race is an act worthy of praise, but your acts of aggression tarnish this noble quality—and may even bring destruction upon your home planet!"

"You made two mistakes."

Jin Yi held up two fingers.

"Your civilization is not powerful in the universe; its overall level is even below that of Earth. Yet you send out slave ships to indiscriminately capture inhabitants of other civilizations throughout the galaxy. Doesn't this behavior provoke widespread outrage?"

Redell and Abbas's technological level was actually insufficient to support them leaving their home planet, but the divinely bestowed minerals made them take this step too early. Everything has a price; fledglings that leave the nest too early are most vulnerable to being destroyed by storms!

Earth is by no means Abbas's only target. Humanity has not yet mastered faster-than-light travel technology and cannot pose a threat to Standalone for the time being. But what about other cosmic civilizations?

On any civilized planet, such behavior is tantamount to a declaration of war!

Abbas staggered backward, his face deathly pale. Even though he wasn't known for his intellect, he understood Jin Yi's meaning. The warrior suddenly realized—Standal Star might already be targeted by countless hunters.

"There is a second point—'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.'"

"The minerals produced on your planet... are so precious that no mineral on Earth can compare with them."

Jin Yi recalled the unwilling expression on Juejing's face and continued speaking.

"But this is not merely a blessing; it could also be a catastrophe of destruction."

"Your planet may be far richer than Earth's, but do you know how many times Earth has been invaded by extraterrestrials? Standal's resources far surpass those of Earth, yet your civilization is weaker. What makes you think you can remain unscathed?"

Minerals capable of supporting faster-than-light travel are rare treasures in the entire universe. If robbers can target Earth, why can't they target Standal, a planet with even richer resources?

Standel, a planet far weaker than Earth's civilization, is embroiled in a protracted civil war between two races, both of whom possess significant weaknesses, making it potentially easier to invade than Earth.

"What you said might have some truth to it, but so what?! Our problems will be resolved! You want me to release them? No way!"

Abbas still spoke loudly, but even viewers off-screen could see through his bluster.

"He's broken down! He's broken down!"

"Where did this country bumpkin come from? Go back home!"

"Hopeless—"

Jin Yi sighed.

"Humanity currently lacks faster-than-light technology and cannot attack Standalone, but—"

"If we were to reveal the wealth of your planet to the universe, wouldn't those hungry wolves, drawn by the scent of blood, bare their fangs at this piece of fat meat?"

The wisdom of humankind is enough to annihilate you without even lifting a finger!

Jin Yi took a step forward, stepping into the darkness, making Abbas's space smaller and smaller. Although Abbas was much taller, he was forced to retreat continuously by the short Jin Yi.

"Are you threatening me...you bastard!"

Abbas was furious, but these words were indeed very reasonable. He couldn't come up with any rebuttal and could only rack his brains to find the flaws in Jin Yi's words.

Abbas may be a noble and elite warrior, but thinking is not his forte. Jin Yi's barrage of words, like a tidal wave, left him completely breathless, like a drowning person in the deep sea, desperately trying to swim upwards, but unable to touch the surface with his fingertips.

He thought and thought, his brain working at breakneck speed, almost smoking, until finally—he grasped at that lifeline.

"Coordinates—you bastard! You're threatening me!"

The drowning man's head finally broke the surface of the water, and he gasped for air.

"You don't even have the coordinates of Stendel, do you? You have no idea where our home planet is; you're just bluffing, aren't you?"

This is the drowning person's last struggle.

Abbas glared at Jin Yi. This guy only had the upper hand in words. What human wisdom? It was all just lies!

"have."

Faced with Abbas's final counterattack, Jin Yi simply uttered a single word.

"have."

P.S. I believe any clever author knows which work this chapter is paying homage to.
