Ultra V

History

Preparing for the Flood

Ultra V led the faction that prepared for the world-ending flood rather than surrendering to indulgence. Its underwater fortresses addressed a specific danger: a deluge descending from the sky would strike elevated shelters with devastating force. At a once-a-decade review meeting, he reviewed construction of eighty-one fortresses and heard Zoffy’s proposal for the Eye of Ultra and Giant of Light projects 3.

When Liu Dajun occupied an imperial citizen’s body, Ultra V helped investigate the apparent intrusion. Rather than accepting the stranger as a god, he ordered an attempt to communicate through the empire’s biological brain network. Liu’s account introduced the leadership to Earth, whose population, weapons, and technological development initially far exceeded their own 4 5.

After observing an immense structure believed to be God’s hand, Ultra V mobilized the Three-Eyed People’s biological computers to calculate its dimensions. Liu’s stories of civilizations surviving floods then renewed the leadership’s determination. Ultra V ordered seven Giants of Light incorporating the Eye of Ultra to be completed within two hundred years 6 7.

Giants of Light and Monster Attacks

Ultra V approved Liu Dajun’s Ultraman Tiga design and liked it enough to order the original Giant of Light remodeled to match. Five Tigas were completed after more than a century, but their construction attracted Su Mo’s attention and prompted him to introduce giant monsters 8.

During the attack, Ultra V prioritized protecting the fortresses. When the largely noncombat Giants of Light proved ineffective, he assigned three guards to pilot the remaining Tigas alongside Original Ultraman and Zoffy. Their combat experience helped turn the battle, but three fortresses were destroyed and eleven damaged 9 10.

Recognizing that survival was no longer assured, Ultra V ordered the Slate of Destiny brought out so the empire could leave a warning for future civilizations. Although he accepted that Liu had not intentionally caused the crisis, he initially refused to forgive its consequences. He later silenced officials who continued blaming Liu when another generation of monsters appeared 10 11.

The subsequent mosquito attacks drove further military development. Ultra V supported expanding the Giant of Light program, and all eighty-one restored fortresses eventually received simplified, space-capable models. He also asked Liu to name many of these new giants 12.

Preserving the Civilization

As the catastrophe approached, Ultra V assigned Liu to record the empire’s history on stone slates. He publicly presented this as an opportunity for an outsider to produce an objective account; privately, the leadership had discovered that Liu’s original body was pulling his consciousness back toward Earth 12.

Ultra V also deduced that the monsters were artificially created and protected by a god. Their repeated reappearance after apparent extermination convinced him that technological strength alone might not secure the civilization’s survival. He bowed to Liu—departing from his people’s usual fist-to-chest salute—and asked him to preserve the Ultra Civilization’s memory on Earth 13.

When Liu refused to leave, Ultra V offered two choices: return as a duke entrusted with spreading imperial culture, or be publicly blamed for the monsters and stripped of citizenship. He nevertheless accepted Liu’s alternative proposal to trace his returning consciousness and establish a possible escape route to Earth, guaranteeing him a dukedom regardless of success 14 15.

Ultra V prepared another safeguard by sending the Giants of Light on a mosquito-clearing mission with their pilots physically aboard. He secretly instructed Zoffy to take the promising young warriors away permanently if Blue Star fell, while refusing to abandon the planet himself 14.

Final Defense and Death

The attempt to locate Earth prompted Su Mo to begin destruction early. Ultra V and the researchers were so focused on tracing Liu’s departure that they failed to notice the incoming meteors until Zoffy contacted them. With impact less than twenty minutes away and coordinate research requiring at least three days, evacuation through Earth was impossible 15 17.

Ultra V ordered the spaceborne warriors to flee, commanded Original Ultraman to obey Zoffy, and designated him ruler of a new nation called the Land of Light. He then terminated spatial research and activated the empire’s strongest defenses: a combined barrier covering all eighty-one fortresses and roughly one-tenth of Blue Star 17.

As a final gamble, he ordered all available firepower concentrated on the moon, hoping its destruction would divert the meteor shower. He accepted a calculated sixteen-percent chance of success despite severe risks and the loss of time to intercept the meteors directly 18.

Su Mo blocked the attack with his hand. Realizing that the god would not allow the civilization to survive, Ultra V collapsed and died. His final hope was that Zoffy’s group would find another home and never return. His death shattered the researchers’ remaining resolve before the fortresses fell to meteors and monsters 19.

Appearance

• Weathered face: Near the end of his life, he is described as weathered but capable of smiling with acceptance 13.
• Third eye: His third eye becomes intensely luminous when he rallies himself to command the final defense 17.
• Cape: He wears a cape, which he straightens before receiving Zoffy’s warning about the meteors 17.

Personality

Ultra V combines practical administration with personal responsibility. He invites officials to raise project difficulties, coordinates long-term construction, and repeatedly checks fortress safety before the catastrophe. His vigilance becomes exhausting: by the final preparations, he has gone seven days without sleep 3 14.

He distinguishes intent from accountability. Although the brain connection confirms Liu Dajun’s innocence of deliberate sabotage, Ultra V initially cannot forgive the resulting losses. Later, he prevents further accusations and explicitly credits Liu with helping bring about another technological breakthrough 10 11 13.

His commitment extends beyond his own reign. He prepares historical records, an off-world group of survivors, and a designated successor while insisting that the king himself cannot leave. Even after concluding that Blue Star is doomed, he resumes command and orders resistance to the end 12 14 17.

Abilities & Skills

Biological Network Access

Ultra V uses the Three-Eyed civilization’s connected biological brains for communication, investigation, and computation 4 6.

• Participates in mental connections that verify Liu Dajun’s account and intentions 9 10.
• Mobilizes the population’s biological computers to estimate the scale of God’s apparent hand 6.
• Coordinates national computing resources for the attempt to locate Earth’s spatial coordinates 15 17.
• These feats rely on the civilization’s shared network rather than a separately documented personal combat power 6 17.

Strategic and Scientific Judgment

Ultra V oversees technological programs and uses their findings to revise the empire’s survival plans 7 12 14.

• Requires the Eye of Ultra to be integrated into new Giants of Light 7.
• Supports distributing Giant of Light blueprints and expanding deployment across the fortresses 12.
• Deduces divine interference from the monsters’ creation and protection 13.
• Establishes independent preservation plans through Liu Dajun and Zoffy’s expedition 13 14.
• His preparations are optimized for a flood, leaving the empire unable to withstand the unexpected meteor shower 17.

Equipment & Associated Items

• Royal identity badge — Entrusted to Zoffy as proof of authority to assume command and order the Giants of Light away from Blue Star 16 17.
• Slate of Destiny — Historical stone records Ultra V commissions to preserve the civilization’s achievements and warn future generations 10 12.
• Eye of Ultra — Imperial observation technology used to monitor events and investigate the apparent divine presence; Ultra V orders its integration into the Giants of Light 4 6 7.

Relationships

• Liu Dajun — Transmigrator, adviser, and intended custodian of the empire’s history. Their relationship moves from suspicion to trust, through a rupture over the monster disaster, and finally to reconciliation and Liu’s appointment as duke 4 8 10 13 15.
• Zoffy — Trusted commander entrusted with royal authority and the survival of the young warriors. Ultra V orders him not to return if the empire falls 14 16 17.
• Original Ultraman — Senior subordinate and designated successor. Ultra V anticipates his refusal to abandon Blue Star and personally orders him to leave and establish the Land of Light 14 17.
• Su Mo — Creator and destroyer of the Microcosm. Ultra V correctly infers a god’s interference without knowing the full circumstances; Su Mo ultimately blocks his last attempt to save Blue Star 13 18 19.

Legacy

• Civilization records: Stone tablets preserve information about the fallen civilization and its weapons, later attracting Big Pineapple to its ruins 34.
• Spark Project: Upon seeing returning Giants of Light, Liu Dajun initially interprets their survival as evidence that Ultra V’s Spark Project succeeded and that the refugees found a new home. This is Liu’s inference, not confirmation of the entire evacuation’s success 41.
• Zoffy’s remembrance: After destroying the invading ant army, the exhausted Zoffy imagines Ultra V praising him for saving the civilization 20.
