Ultraman: This Belial only wants to make money.

Chapter 7. The Overt Scheme of the Mephiras Aliens

Outside the live stream room, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lipia remained motionless, clearly stunned. The Japanese's excellent mental state gave the country bumpkin from Star of Light a small shock to Earth.

However, this was nothing to Mr. Jin, an abstract internet veteran who had been surfing the web for ten years. He even had the leisure to rest his chin on his hand and comment on the crazy comments.

This is nothing! It's nowhere near as good as Mr. Jin's masterpieces before he transmigrated, like the one where the Milk Dragon pins Belial down...

Never mind, those are all things of the past.

"This must be the work of some alien."

After a long while, Lipia recovered and gave his deduction.

But who exactly started this?

--------

"Hello, masters of this country!"

Inside the Tokyo Diet Building, the country's head of state, a group of elderly people, were also intently watching the giant projection screen, remaining silent as they looked at the Asami team members on the streets of Shibuya.

The Zarab alien incident is over, and all the unequal treaties previously signed with humans have been nullified. However, the political repercussions are not so easy to eliminate. The senator who led the signing resigned, ending his political career as well.

Now, another alien of unknown origin has come knocking, proposing cooperation. However, the experience of the Zarab aliens has made them hesitant.

After a long while, an elderly man cleared his throat and asked a question to the middle-aged man with a business smile on his face below the screen.

"Having received your message, which has gathered us here, what are your instructions?"

The questioner is the Prime Minister of Japan, a high-ranking and powerful figure.

The person who answered bowed slightly and removed their hat in greeting, looking more like a businessman than a politician.

But undeniably, among a group of high-ranking and powerful figures, he was the focus of the meeting and the sole protagonist.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am a Mephiras alien. Of course, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so you may call me Mephisto."

"And what is your relationship with the Zarab aliens?"

The fact that both arrived on Earth one after the other inevitably leads to associations.

"It has nothing to do with it!"

Mavis remained unfazed and shrugged.

"If I had to explain it, I guess I'm a righteous partner who can't stand the Zarab aliens' acts of aggression."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange silence fell over the room. Almost everyone present was a cunning old fox over fifty years old, so such a statement was obviously not convincing to them.

"Oh, you don't believe me? Then why did you call that silver giant a savior?"

"After all, from our standpoint, he and I are both aliens with good intentions, so we shouldn't have preconceived notions."

"You're overthinking it, Your Excellency."

The cabinet minister hurriedly offered an explanation.

"After all, the Zarab aliens serve as a cautionary tale, and we dare not make a decision rashly. Please understand."

"In fact, the term 'savior' is just a popular term and doesn't represent the attitude of our government. However, as long as people have good intentions, they are all friends of Earth!"

The cabinet minister's statement was quite clever; he was indeed a seasoned veteran of the political arena.

"Come on, the saying 'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts' isn't just a saying on Earth..."

"Sir, you've misunderstood!"

The cabinet minister hurriedly offered an explanation.

"Don't be nervous, Minister. I didn't mean to blame you."

Mavis remained smiling, showing no signs of anger, seemingly unconcerned about the Earthlings' suspicions.

"In fact, this mindset is correct."

The Mephiras alien explained.

"The universe is like a dark forest. People who step out of their planets are like those who are exploring the forest with torches. No one knows whether they will encounter a rabbit or a jackal in the next second. Without this vigilance, they will probably only become food for wild beasts."

"However, if we remain suspicious and reject other acts of kindness, this journey will not last long."

"So what you mean is..."

The cabinet minister inquired tentatively, noting that Mavis's reasoning was quite simple and that her attitude was very friendly.

No matter what he's really up to, until his tricks are exposed, he will always be a friend of Earthlings.

"I will provide you with some assistance."

Look!

After finishing the pleasantries, Mavis slid her long fingers through the air and then pointed to the Asami team member on the projection screen.

"This is my goodwill, and it is also the power that you humans need most right now—the power that belongs to humanity itself."

Please enlighten me.

A point of light appeared in the center of the conference room, then emitted a bright light. Everyone present instinctively closed their eyes. When the light dissipated, a silver box floating in the air, resembling a coffin, attracted everyone's attention.

"The Beta Spark device—this is what humanity needs most right now."

Mavis added an explanation.

"It possesses the power to transform humans into giants."

Mavis snapped her fingers, gesturing for everyone to look at the big screen.

The streets of Shibuya were bustling with noise. The increasing number of police officers managed to maintain order at the scene, setting up long police tape to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering. The situation had stabilized.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard!

The giantess with lifeless eyes merely raised her right hand and lightly swung her fist. Bulletproof glass, steel windows, and hard concrete were easily shattered. Hiroko Asami's fist went straight in, as easily as a fish entering water.

Another commotion broke out at the scene, with onlookers scattering and police officers on high alert. It wasn't until the Superintendent General of Police, the highest-ranking official in the Japanese Public Security Bureau, addressed his subordinates by phone that the minor disturbance was finally quelled.

"This is Hiroko Asami, a member of the FOT team. I believe you all have her information."

The crowd nodded in agreement. Within minutes of the giantess's appearance, her information—from birth to school enrollment and her work history—was meticulously delivered to the desks of these high-ranking officials by their secretaries.

"She is just an ordinary Earthling, like all of you, with a body of flesh and blood, and does not possess such great power."

"However, with the enhancement of the Beta Spark Device, even a frail woman like Asami could shatter a reinforced concrete building with a single punch!"

"Furthermore, wooden sticks, knives, guns, bullets, and even more powerful missiles—human weapons pose absolutely no threat to her!"

"Think about it, everyone. Earth is a planet with 80 billion people... 80 billion giants, this is the future I'm giving you!"
