Chapter 1138 The Iludes
In the world of Ultraman Tiga, there is no such thing as peace. On this day, a tall tower fell from the sky, and aliens called the Iluds visited Earth.

They broadcast to the entire Earth that they wanted to live in peace with humanity and bring a better life to humankind.

However, the GUTS team knew perfectly well that the Iluds were not there for peace, because they had already attacked Earth's spaceship, causing it to crash.

Moreover, the two people piloting the spaceship were good friends of the New City team members.

Shinjo, Daigo, and Horii have now arrived at the site of the spaceship crash to assess the situation.

Just then, an Ilud rushed out, and Shinjo simultaneously heard his friend Josaki's voice.

"Shoot him dead!"

Without hesitation, Xincheng fired directly at the Ilud in front of him.

However, a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping the Ilud and blocking the attack from the new city.

“Don’t do things you’ll regret.”

Shinjo and Horii were unfamiliar with the suddenly appearing voice, but Daigo recognized it as the voice of the angel Keisha.

There must have been a reason why she stopped Newtown from shooting the Ilud.

"Shinjo, Horii, look at his hand!"

"Huh? What are you looking at?"

"Is he holding an astronaut's transmitter?"

Horii and Shinjo looked over and, sure enough, saw the transmitter he was carrying.

"Could it be that……"

Shinjo felt a lingering fear as he recalled hearing Shirosaki's voice.

"Xincheng, go inside the spaceship and take a look. Now is not the time to be distracted."

"Well, you're right!"

Shinjo went inside the crashed spaceship and, sure enough, there was only one person left.

"Agan!"

Shinjo brought Agan out, while Daigo and Horii were researching what appeared to be an Ilud being controlled by the beam of light.

"Daigo, could it be that what the Illud people meant by living with the Illud people is turning Earthlings into Illud people?"

"Probably!"

"That's right! That's it!"

Astronaut A-Qian, who was brought out by Shin-Cheng, also spoke up.

"A-Qian, what exactly happened?"

Instead of answering Shinjo, Agan asked curiously, "Is this a new tactic of your Victory Team? How did you know he was Shinjo?"

"This is not a new method of ours, but rather the help of angels."

"Daigo, how did you know?"

“That voice! It’s exactly the same as the angel that appeared when the Kirieloids were around.”

"Is that so? Daigo, you have a good memory. If it was an angel who intervened, then it's not surprising."

"Thank goodness! Thank goodness! Otherwise I would have shot Kinosaki with my own hands."

A-Qian glanced at Shirosaki and stopped dawdling.

"As you can see, the Ilud attacked our ship in an attempt to test whether humans could be transformed into Iluds."

They succeeded, that's why they've come; we must stop them.

Daigo then looked at A-Qian.

"Were you also converted?" "What!"

"Heh, as expected of a member of the Victory Team. That's right, I've also been converted, but I'm still conscious. However, I don't know how long I can stay conscious."

"Shinjo, Horii, you take them back to base and get the other team members to come and support them. Until then, I will evacuate the personnel here."

"Okay! Daigo, I'm counting on you!"

"Dagu, be careful!"

"Ok!"

After they left, Daigo was about to take action, but Tsuruhi's voice rang in his ears.

"Why not just transform?"

"Transform!"

"Because of the Iluds' instigation, many people are approaching that tower, and the longer it goes on, the more people will gather there."

There are so many people here who are unhappy with their lives that even if they were turned into aliens, I bet plenty of people would be willing.

Daigo hesitated as he took out the Spark Lens. He didn't want to rely too much on Ultraman Tiga's power, fearing that one day he would lose this power and no longer be able to protect the Earth.

Therefore, he only chooses to transform when he has no other choice.

"Now is not the time to hesitate! Believe in myself, and believe in Ultraman Tiga's power!"

After saying that, Daigo raised the Spark Lens and transformed. He flew to the side of the tower and instantly deployed a barrier, sealing off all directions.

In this way, those who had been bewitched by the Iluds could not get close, although doing so instantly consumed a lot of his energy.

"Oh! So you're using this method? That's quite clever, but now he'll be fighting alone without any support from his teammates."

"He must have been prepared for this decision."

The Iluds, having collectively grown to gigantic size, shared a common brain; being transformed into an Ilud meant losing one's individuality.

The Illids were not powerful, and since there were no hostages, Daigo had no worries and quickly defeated the gigantic Illids.

The tower containing the brain of the Irud tried to escape, but Ultraman Tiga caught up with it and easily destroyed it with a Lampard Light Bullet.

The Victory team also performed admirably, developing a reversal potion that saved A-Qian and Shirosaki, which relieved Shinjo.

"There have been civilizations in the Super God Universe that have tried to use the method of sharing a brain, but they all ended in failure."

A singular way of thinking is doomed to fail; progress requires constant intellectual exchange.

"Keisha, was our past technological stagnation partly due to this? Your absolute monarchy suppressed the clash of ideas."

"Perhaps! Looking back, we can indeed see many mistakes we made."

"It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. People always improve by making mistakes and correcting them. If you never make any mistakes, it means you've stagnated."

“What the male god said is right, but there is another way to improve, which is to keep exploring new things, and that’s what we’re doing now.”

Lan Hong and Keisha smiled knowingly.

After some time, the GUTS team was dispatched again to deal with a shark monster that was burrowing underground.

He Xi, who had been paying attention to the situation, noticed something was wrong.

"Huh? This shark monster is a machine created using human technology. The person behind this is quite capable!"

Soon, He Xi found the guy who created the shark monster, Masaki Keigo.

Blue Rainbow found it rather strange that the Victory Team couldn't even defeat this shark monster and needed Tiga to come out.

That would mean that Masaki Keigo's technology is superior to that of the GUTS team, which is a bit unreasonable.

After all, the Victory Team was created by combining the technology of the entire Earth. Could it be that the saying "the real masters are among the common people" really holds true?
Or perhaps Masaki Keigo is truly a genius, surpassing the researchers at TPC all by himself.
