What?Altman is tenured?

Chapter 615: Zero: Damn it! Despicable Castor!

As a heroic special effects film, what is the most special thing about Ultraman compared to other heroic special effects films?
Different people have different answers to this question, such as an absolutely great and righteous protagonist, two factions with relatively obvious good and evil, a classic story that is as easy to understand as possible but still memorable, mixed with sociology and human nature thinking. From the moment the character of Ultraman was born, these somewhat stereotyped characteristics have been an indispensable part of the Ultra series.

However, in fact, in addition to these more "core" characteristics, the Ultra series has always had a most direct one, which is also what makes the Ultra series stand out from other special films, and that is - mechanical deification.

Deus ex machina is a term from ancient Greek drama, which refers to the sudden appearance of a supernatural force or character to solve the problem when the plot is stuck, so that the story can continue or end. This technique is achieved in classical drama by using mechanical devices, such as cranes, to send actors playing gods to the stage.
Judging from the origin of this word, there is actually no particular problem with the emergence of this word. After all, the appearance of gods in ancient Greek dramas is logically acceptable to everyone.
However, since deus ex machina is usually used to describe illogical or overly coincidental solutions that appear in stories, in modern times, this technique is often criticized as a trick used by screenwriters when they want to be lazy. So in theory, if deus ex machina is to be used in many plots in modern society, it is necessary to find the right opportunity.

This is actually something that really tests the screenwriter's skills.

But there is no need to think so much about Ultraman, because for human civilization, the existence of Ultraman, from the very beginning, represents "God".

Of course, in the continuous iteration process of this IP series, the divinity of Ultraman has been stripped away bit by bit. In order to make the story more understandable and more in line with normal human concepts, some human nature has been slowly imposed on Ultraman. On the one hand, this makes Ultraman's IP more malleable, but on the other hand, it does make this IP a bit "vulgar" at times.

But in general, as long as it is an Ultraman story, the Deus Ex Machina is always useful and can solve most problems.
In the human story, Ultraman himself represents God to a certain extent, and God can naturally skip many problems of human society and let the story enter the state of HAPPY END.
In the story of Ultraman, Tsuburaya set up some 'Ultraman' among Ultraman, that is, the gods in the Ultraman world.

In fact, Zero's problem is difficult to solve. The Kingdom of Light itself is a fantasy perfect world in fantasy special effects, and Zero's dream is even more fantasy than a fantasy world, a world where all civilizations are equal.

Castor, who has regarded the entire universe, even the big universe, as the real world, understands that the world that Zero hopes for is impossible to appear.
The universe has some basic sociological logic. Although some people believe that cosmic sociology is not a real science, under the premise of biological instinct and civilization logic, some things do exist. Just like one plus one equals two, it is something that needs no further explanation. Survival is the foundation of civilization, and this kind of thing also needs no further explanation.

Various basic cosmic logics have led to the fact that the kind of world that Ultraman Zero hopes for is impossible to create in actual operations. No matter how fantastic the ideas are, it is difficult to allow so many messy civilizations in the universe to make their voices heard equally.

But, in the final analysis, no matter how real this world is, it still has Ultraman's world, and a world where Ultraman exists means that there is a loophole in the true logic of the universe, or a higher-level logic, that is - Deus Ex Machina.
Some problems don't really need to be solved. Even if Zero has this or that deficiency, he still has the opportunity to skip all these problems and directly achieve his goal through the method of mechanical deification.

It would be great if this god could really come down.

However, unlike Ultraman who can appear constantly in human stories, it is relatively difficult to make the gods in Ultraman stories really come.

Because just like what I said before, Deus Ex Machina is a lazy way of describing. Even if it is Tsuburaya, it is impossible to keep adding settings and design their own Ultraman for the Ultraman in Ultraman.

Therefore, one must be extremely cautious when using those characters. Castor can communicate with them, but it is difficult to directly make them deus ex machina.

Even Castor, in fact, has only had contact with Noah in very few cases over such a long time, and in most of those cases, Noah just came out and scolded them, but did not really solve the problem.

If you count carefully, the number of times Noah really died were all major events that could affect the entire universe, such as the war between Dark Lugiel and Galaxy and the birth of the new god of the Kyrieloid people.

Although Zero is also one of the heirs of Noah's Light, it is still difficult to ask Noah to help him solve such an extremely unrealistic thing.
According to Castor's prediction of Noah, Noah should have known what Zero wanted to do. The moment he knew what Zero insisted on, some things actually became more complicated.
Judging from the training Noah gave to the fit, he would most likely watch Zero constantly run into obstacles, or even die in the process of pursuing his dream.

Maybe for Noah, your dream and the price you pay for it should be equal.
In the process of pursuing your dreams, no matter what happens to you, it is not Noah's business to interfere. After all, it is the path you choose yourself, and no one has any reason to interfere with you.

But Castor doesn't think so. He believes that as the boss of the light camp, or at least one of the bosses, Noah places clones all over the universe every day, and seems to have secretly learned some knowledge from somewhere. This is obviously an act of "not doing his job properly".

Since Noah did nothing, Castor thought that he should do something, and the method he thought of was to tell Noah that if Zero got stuck in a dead end one day, his own growth talent would be very exaggerated.

In simple terms, if Zero is willing and is lucky enough, then after who knows how many tens of thousands, or even millions or tens of millions of years, Zero might become the same kind as Noah, or a colleague?

A person who is favored by Noah, Seiya, the Guardian of Time and even the King of Ultra, who once served as the "protagonist" in the universe for a period of time, who has very outrageous and far-reaching ideals, and who is firm in his beliefs.
If someone really thinks about it in that direction, they will understand that this is not impossible.

Of course, it is difficult for ordinary people to think of these things, and even if they do, it is difficult for them to report to their superiors or submit their "analysis reports".
But Castor is different. To be honest, he is also one of Noah's incarnations, and one of the incarnations that can negotiate with Noah to a certain extent.

Whether the relationship between the clone and the original body is that of a superior and a subordinate, no one can tell for sure.
But as a child taught by Sawai, Castor knows very well how to make others happy, so compared to Lan Ka, he always puts himself in the right position.

From the moment he gained the trust of the Evolutionary, Castor began to maintain these objects containing the Light of Noah every now and then.

Even more outrageous, he would always silently recite Noah's name from time to time.

It can be said that Castor had long since placed himself in the position of a subordinate, or even a believer, and in a subtle way, Noah would indeed unconsciously look at him for a while longer.

After all, who wouldn’t like a child who respects them and talks about them every day?

And it was based on this kind of "identity" that Castor found an angle to help Cerro. Castor felt that as a subordinate, it was logical to recommend a young man with great potential, ideas and background to his superiors.

When Zero was trying to change Blue Card and save Blue Card by self-destruction, Noah had already looked over. Although no one remembered this incident, as Noah's most loyal believer, Castor was sure that Noah had definitely intervened in this matter.
Even more outrageous, Noah may have intervened in more than one aspect of the whole thing. It is very likely that Noah has been paying attention to everything that happened here from beginning to end.
Noah's silent move gave Castor an immature idea, which led to all the subsequent events.

To put it bluntly, Castor does not want Zero to directly become a life form that transcends the universe. This is not that simple.

You know, the existence in the universe that everyone can directly contact at present is the legendary king of the Kingdom of Light - King Ultra.
Although it is not known how the King of Ultra has reached his current level, it can be seen from his beard that when he reached this point, he has probably gone through a very long time.

Just like those people in stories who can stay young forever after reaching a certain level of cultivation, it is obvious that the King of Ultra reached this level in the second half of his life.
How long is the life span of the King of Ultra? He was already known as a legend in the Land of Light before the Land of Light appeared.

According to conservative estimates, even the King of Ultraman, who was the fastest, still took hundreds of thousands of hours to reach this level.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect young Zero to grow to that level directly. However, it would be much more reasonable if Noah could help Zero reach that stage step by step.

Again, a person who is favored by Noah, Seiya, the Guardian of Time and even the King of Ultra, who once served as the "protagonist" in the universe for a period of time, who has very outrageous and lofty ideals, and who is firm in his beliefs,

And the young man who had walked above the universe several times,

As long as he doesn't die prematurely, if he is given time, he will naturally grow into the next Ultra King.

Castor felt that unless Noah was mentally ill, he would not refuse to help such a young man. As for whether Castor would be blamed by Noah for this matter, this brought up another little thought of Castor.

Looking at the Evolution Trustee that was constantly beating in Zero's hand, Castor whispered silently:
"Great God Noah, here are your most loyal and qualified subordinates who are the leaders of Castor, praying for you.

I believe that you have been watching this young man named Cero, so you should understand the potential of this young man. I know that you are a strict elder and hope that young people can be self-reliant, but I think sometimes you can also give young people some help, so as to reflect your love.

I also heard that the King of Ultra also cares about Zero, but I took the lead and sent him to you. Now, if you want, you can laugh at the King loudly in the future if that day comes, but I advise you to act as soon as possible to avoid the King suddenly intercepting you. "Red Card's words were very simple. He believed that his current image should be perfect in Noah's heart.
As for the guy in the next universe who had a fight with Ultra King and then seemed to have some friendship with him, would Ultra King blame him because of Zero's incident? Would he have some small "estrangement" with Ultra King?
There is nothing we can do about it. After all, how can a godfather compare to a biological father?

The Evolution Truster's heartbeat stopped little by little. Zero was stunned for a moment, then looked at Castor, "Just now, did I feel the heartbeat frequency of the entire universe?"

Castor took the Evolution Truster back and said casually, "Who knows? Revelation is for you, not for me."

Zero scratched his head, felt himself now, and became even more confused, "But, I feel like nothing has changed about me."

"Oh, of course." Castor continued to pick up the chopsticks and started to eat, "Have you eaten yet? Do you want me to help you order? Let me tell you, I'm an expert at ordering."

Zero, who was completely out of temper with Castor's huge transformation, said speechlessly, "Then what? What should I do next? Um... Evolve to the universe?"

Castor picked up a chicken leg and took a bite, then said to Cero while chewing, "No, you are only a few years old, why are you in such a hurry? Even if you are talented, it will not be achieved overnight.

Let me put it this way, start with what you can do, change the world you can touch as much as possible, change as much as you can, and when the time is right, you will naturally know what to do. "

Zero opened his mouth, and after a while, he said unhappily, "I'm hungry!!! Can you give me something to eat first!!"

Castor smiled. Although he had the face of a middle-aged man, Zero still acted like a child.

Compared to expressing his dissatisfaction in this way, it is much easier to fool people than using Keigo Masaki.

"Ahahaha, don't be angry, don't be angry, it's a good thing you haven't met Masaki Keigo, otherwise he would definitely remind you that evolution is not that simple." Castor said with a smile, "However, when I in another universe wanted to force Masaki Keigo to evolve into an aggregate of the inner light of the earthlings, he actually refused."

Zero's mouth twitched, "Actually, I have met Masaki Keigo and he has reminded me. In fact, I was able to make up my mind because of what he said."

Casto:
Noah wouldn't have seen this, would he? Wouldn't he have thought that Cero was too stupid and not worth caring about?

After a moment of silence, Zero finally sighed. He was indeed ready to cut off all ties with the Kingdom of Light and the past.

Just as he said, Masaki Keigo's words made him understand that as long as he still remembered those people, they would still be his family, friends, comrades and brothers.

And Masaki Keigo did remind him, but at that time his mind was full of great, self-sacrificing ideas.
Of course he realized now that no matter how talented he was, it was not so easy to evolve into a being above the universe.

"Let's eat first. After dinner, you can go find Xiao Lu. Although it is difficult to make everyone understand each other, and although it is meaningless to let all civilizations speak out in my eyes, you don't think there is no room for improvement now, right?"

"In fact, even if you installed a 'suggestion mailbox' in every galaxy, it would be a big step forward for the universe."

Zero was stunned for a moment, and then his brain, which was sometimes good and sometimes bad, suddenly reacted. If his goal was 100, then most of the universe was now at 0 or even a negative stage.

Then, he was suddenly speechless. He realized that if he didn't consider the outrageous idea of ​​doing it all at once, he actually had a lot of things to do.
The most basic thing is to help countless civilizations in countless universes to establish some basic voices and even communication channels. Although this kind of thing is huge, it is actually not that "grand". At most, it is a little "great".

Moreover, this matter itself is actually a good thing. It is positive for the order of the universe. No matter whether it is the people of the Kingdom of Light or other orders, or even the people of the Empire, they will not reject his suggestion at all. There is no need for him to think about these things with a mentality of certain death.

After all, it is indeed difficult to ask various civilizations to make suggestions on the development of the universe, but asking this civilization to make suggestions on the development of its own galaxy or peace, or even asking them to put forward demands for the development of their own planet and civilization, is not an outrageous thing in itself.

To use Castor's previous words, no one would listen to the backward civilizations on Earth who make suggestions for the development of the Earth to the mainstream civilization.

However, if these civilizations mention issues related to regional environmental protection, food problems, local peace, economic equality, regional development, etc., that is, what he said before, the "voice" of low-level civilizations, then everyone will actually take the time to provide some help.
What is even more outrageous is that, in countless universes, even the beginning of reform has not been completed yet, and in fact, it has not even reached the point where the right of each civilization to speak out is being considered.

Even the Kingdom of Light, the parallel universe with the fastest reforms, has only just started and has not yet moved on to the subsequent issues.

After thinking for a long time, Zero found that in order to let all civilizations have a voice, there are actually more things to do. For example, it is necessary to make sure that all civilizations have enough food, that all civilizations have "culture", that all civilizations can correctly view the universe, that the entire universe has a relatively stable political system, and that...
After all, in a chaotic universe, it doesn't really matter whether civilization speaks out or not.

It's like if the whole earth is in chaos, then if you talk about whether those tribal civilizations have the right to speak out, others will just think you are a fool.
Rather than speaking out, it is more important for those civilizations to survive first.

After going around in circles, Zero realized that he should go home first, go back to the Kingdom of Light to talk to Director Hikari, Team Zoffy, Captain Ultra Grandfather, and even his own father about his ideas, and then go to U40 to learn something from Jonias.
If possible, it would be best for me to go to an educational institution in the Kingdom of Light and enroll in a class to make up for the cultural subjects from the beginning.

Compared to being played around by Castor here, he felt that he had a lot more things to do.

"Damn it, what have I been doing recently?!" Zero said to Castor speechlessly, "Mr. Castor, it looks like I should go back first. I want to discuss my ideas with everyone in the Kingdom of Light.
In addition, I may ask the people of the Space Science and Technology Bureau to help me think about how to build a more appropriate system in the universe to seek help from other civilizations in the event of disasters or problems.

After saying this, Cero planned to leave without looking back. He had made up his mind not to give Castor any chance to speak this time to prevent himself from being deceived.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Castor said casually, "It's not good to waste food. I've already ordered it~"

"Then pack it up! Thank you for your concern!"

Castor smiled and said, "By the way, when you return to the Kingdom of Light, you'd better stay away from the King of Ultra."

Zero was stunned for a moment, then looked at Castor in shock, "Why?!"

"Because once you get close to the king, he will find that a 'weird old man' suddenly appears 'above' the head' of the child he thinks has the most potential, that is, you, Zero, and is silently watching you."

Zero opened his mouth, "Wait? Could it be that the King is doing this?"

"Of course, someone like you should be in great demand." Castor's words were full of temptation. "If you swear now to protect me for the rest of your life, then I can teach you how to walk between the two old men and get benefits from both sides."

G:.
I really want to curse, but the Land of Light didn't teach this. Asshole, why didn't Keigo Masaki just grab him at that time.

Damn you, vile Castor!
