Who made him Ultraman!

"Ampera is dead..."

Are you satisfied with this result?

"With his own strength, he turned back time, resurrected everyone, and used Noah's power to save the collapsing building and turn the tide."

"You should be very satisfied, right?"

Torregia stared at Yu Chen, his tone cold.

Yu Chen spoke frankly:

"satisfy."

"What do I have to complain about? No matter what suffering and persecution Ampera has endured in the past, he is ultimately an aggressor who poses a great threat to any life in the universe."

"According to your principles... shouldn't you be quite satisfied? Or..."

"Have you abandoned your own beliefs in order to oppose me?"

"In the end, you're just a guy who can think a little and reflect on reality, but is essentially a fun-loving person."

"I simply can't understand someone like you."

"You actually interfered with Zoffy's decision to confront the King of Ultra, and with Leo's request to bring back the old Jeep, all for the sake of having fun, just for special training."

"Are you dissatisfied because I didn't do such a thing or use such a meme?"

“I have genuine respect for these Ultra Warriors who fight for the innocent, so I could never do such a thing, but you wouldn’t, right?”

Upon hearing this, Torregia laughed in fury:

"Hmph...you know what I hate most about you?"

"You are too good at understanding people's hearts. You can tell what a person's intentions, attributes, and stance just by looking at them twice."

"Now that you've actually brought up Noah, you've won. Are you satisfied?"

“I lost. I understand now that no matter how many times I wish or how much the red ball grows, I cannot interfere with a true legendary warrior.”

As he was speaking, Yu Chen suddenly said out of the blue:
Noah is dead.

"What?" Torregia was stunned.

"To stop you, I risked my life and with all my heart I awakened Noah, who gave me his last ray of light."

"The price was... Noah's soul vanished."

"Although I can now control all of Noah's power, it will only last for a short time. After this time passes, I will return to my original form and, with my power, gradually grow the light until I finally transform into Noah."

"You can think of it this way: Noah no longer exists in the world, only..."

"I, who inherit the light."

Torregia was completely bewildered. His actions... had actually brought about such serious consequences?
He never imagined that Yu Chen would have no attachment to that beautiful world at all, and that all he cared about was completing what he hadn't finished.

He just... just wanted to have some fun.

The consequences of losing a true legendary warrior in the vast universe are self-evident.

And more importantly...

The inheritor of light before us...

We're going to be completely tethered to this universe.

It's impossible for Yu Chen not to hate himself.

After all, the other party's original plan was to use Noah's power to suppress the universe, wait for Noah to awaken, and then hand over this matter to him so that he could return to his original world.

How could a time traveler not want to go home?

but now.

The home is still there, but I can never go back.

"Listen, should I say... I'm sorry? I don't want to do this."

"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry, I just..."

Before Torregia could finish speaking, a silver-white hand suddenly pierced through his chest!
The energy timer was instantly annihilated.

Yu Chen whispered in Toregia's ear:
"You should apologize to me, but you should also..."

"Apologize to the innocent people you persecuted during this period."

"Torregia, in the end, what's the use of having such ideals if you don't care about ordinary people or the general public? You'll only go down an increasingly extreme path."

"Let it go. I will completely eliminate the red ball. Such a dangerous thing must not be in the hands of anyone else."

"If reincarnation as a human exists, perhaps in countless future lives you will be able to truly witness that beautiful world that only exists in our ideals."

"I will finish what I have not finished, I will put my beliefs into practice, and I will achieve my goals."

"Now that I have become the inheritor of Noah's light, then..."

"Let me take on these responsibilities and become the real Noah."

"Honestly, I don't regret it, because everyone is born to die, and it's wonderful to be able to do something beneficial for others during the time we're alive."

Ultimately, the purpose of life is to die a worthy death.

"You martyr...!"

After uttering his last words with a roar, Torregia's eyelight went out completely, and he turned into particles, dissipating into the universe.

"..."

Yu Chen silently observed all of this.

Humans are naturally inclined to admire the strong and desire to become powerful.

But... if it really happens, the responsibilities he will have to bear will weigh down on him like a mountain.

He closed his eyes, and his consciousness instantly transcended this parallel universe, arriving in the vast cosmos.

He can see the statues of Noah himself scattered across various parallel universes.

There are probably... several hundred of them.

He could feel the people of those times and spaces kneeling and praying to him, wanting him to descend into the world and help them avoid persecution by their enemies.

He closed his eyes... and there were hundreds of things he needed to solve.

What about those timelines where the Noah statue doesn't exist?

How many problems remain? How many people are being persecuted by the invaders? How many more...?
How many more people need the help of light, need the salvation of warriors of light?

There are simply too many to count...

Just then, his appearance changed.

The wings behind him had vanished.

He became Noah without wings.

It's not that it has degenerated, but rather... it has evolved.

The evolution from the primordial Nexus to the wingless Noah.

Noah's power has vanished, and so has his consciousness.

The only person in the world who can inherit the light of N is oneself.

And... even the prayers have disappeared.

"Is that so?" Yu Chen suddenly smiled.

Pray, pray.

The abilities of the monster Ultra Warriors in the "prize pool" are merely a part of Noah's own abilities.

The "prayer points" I collected were essentially the "last will" of innocent people persecuted by the invaders.

After he defeated the enemy, the dead were finally able to rest in peace and leave this world in peace.

These last wishes can also be seen as the power of belief, which can help him evolve and help Noah himself be revived.

Noah simply presented this reward to him in the form of a lottery.

After completing this evolution and successfully evolving into the wingless Noah, he possessed all of Noah's abilities.

It's just not as strong as the original, after all, those wings haven't evolved yet, and he still needs one last evolution.

Hmm... So he was already doing this kind of thing during his time in Nexus.

From beginning to end, nothing has changed.

……

Earth--

A silver figure descended from the sky.

Upon seeing that unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar figure, Triga, Tiga, Mebius, and the others were overjoyed.

"Has the problem... been solved? Who exactly is that enemy lurking in the shadows?"

"Tregear."

"Tregear? It's him!?"

"Um……"

Yu Chen responded somewhat absentmindedly, then he stretched out his right hand, and a red ball the size of a palm suddenly appeared.

"Torregia uses it to interfere with reality."

"As long as you make a wish towards the red ball, it will definitely come true within its power, and the more times you make a wish, the bigger the wish that the red ball can grant will become."

"Just a red ball? So many people died, and it's just... a red ball?" Mebius gritted his teeth, staring at the red ball, his heart filled with indignation.

Yuchen nodded:
"Fortunately, Torregia is not the kind of person who is extremely paranoid or extremely greedy, otherwise the destruction caused by the red ball would be even more terrifying."

Then, with a thought, the red ball shattered instantly with a crack, its fragments vanishing into thin air and disappearing without a trace.

"Now, this threat is completely gone."

"Then... what about Toregia?" Triga asked tentatively.

"He is the principal offender, the aggressor, and the root of all problems. How can he not pay the price?"

Yu Chen's voice was full of ease.

But everyone could tell that it was just an act.

They could all hear the weariness in that voice.

……

[Year 3, Day 167: The problem with Mebius's timeline was solved, world peace was restored, the Alien Empera was destroyed by the future, and Tregear and the Red Ball were completely eradicated by me.]

But my heart is heavy. Now I understand why the King of Ultra, Legend, Saga, and Noah remain so high above, maintaining their sublime divinity. If closing my eyes allowed me to hear the cries for help of countless people, anyone would be driven mad.

So they abandoned humanity, not because they didn't care about innocent people, but because they couldn't manage them all.

After evolving into the wingless Noah, I came into contact with many things, including my first communication with the three of them.

The three were surprised by Noah's death.

Of course, once they learned of my beliefs, Noah's death seemed insignificant.

In times of chaos, harsh measures are necessary; in times of chaos, heavy blows are needed. Ordinary methods are no longer sufficient to deal with invaders and those with extremist ideologies.

Surprisingly... none of the three of them stopped me. It seems Noah's death had a profound impact on them.

[If we don't use overwhelming force, will their lives still be endangered? For the entire universe and its numerous parallel universes, this would undoubtedly be a bad thing.]

Thus, my philosophy was ultimately endorsed by four legendary warriors. Perhaps they also felt that maintaining their previous attitude of non-participation and non-intervention was no longer sufficient to solve the problem.

[After all, there's a saying that goes, "Don't talk about the future." Many innocent people don't even deserve a future; they might die in the invaders' gunfire at any moment.]

After bidding farewell to GUYS, to the future, and to Kengo and the others, I returned to Ganon.

Under the leadership of Aizen Makoto and his ambitious cabinet, Kanon is doing very well. In a few more months, it will be able to enter the industrial age, and modernization is not far away.

But I no longer have time to care about Ganon; countless people are urging me on...

There are countless people waiting for me to save them.

……

[Year 28, Day 345: I thwarted the conspiracy of the Baltan aliens in a parallel universe, preventing the birth of the legendary Hyper Zetton in that universe.]

I saved the lives of everyone on four civilizations and four planets—excluding, of course, the future of Earth.

……

[Year 104, Day 100: I appeared in a parallel universe of "The Belial Galactic Empire." Summoned by Zero and others in this universe, and by the prayers of everyone throughout the entire universe, I descended.]

[The power of belief from an entire era empowered me, and before everyone's eyes, a pair of silver-white wings appeared behind me; I completed my final evolution.]

I gave a portion of my power to Zero; that became the Shield of Paragi.

[Huh...Is what Noah did now my turn to do again? What worldline convergence?]

However, this kind of thing may have to be done many more times in the future, after all, there are as many as eight parallel universes within the Belial Galactic Empire alone.

[I didn't let Zero intervene; I wanted to test Noah's power at its peak, so I took action.]

Belial was instantly defeated.

【…】

This was a battle with no suspense whatsoever.

……

[Year 110, Day 1: I returned to the Ultraman Tiga timeline, but everything had changed.]

All the members of the GUTS team I knew are gone, including the scientist who once proclaimed humanity's insignificance and aspired to be its leader.

I'm all alone.

[I previously approached Masaki Keigo and Daigo. I now have the ability to grant you immortality, allowing everyone to live on until you tire of life, at which point you can depart.]

But neither Masaki Keigo nor Daigo, nor any of the other GUTS members, agreed.

In their words, they cannot survive on my power; that's unfair to the others.

Furthermore, they didn't want to watch the people around them grow old, be sent to coffins, and be buried in the ground.

Because, for humans, birth, aging, illness, and death are the natural order of things.

Moreover, a hundred years is enough time to live; there's no need to live too long.

This is almost identical to what I heard from Ultraman Max before: immortality, eternal life, seems like a wonderful thing, but it's actually a curse.

We have no right to make decisions for others.

I probably won't be coming back here much anymore.

I traveled to other Ultraman Tiga timelines, and I met Daigo, Rena, and Masaki Keigo again. In those other timelines, they were still young.

But no one recognizes me.

They are still fighting the monster.

There are still many places unlit by the light; I must continue onward.

……

[Year 123, Day 300: I encountered Tartarus again in the 'Galactic Strike' timeline.]

After more than a century of preparation, the kingdom once again launched an attack and invasion against the Kingdom of Light.

And this time, their king has also awakened.

I've learned a lot. Why is the Kingdom unwilling to lower itself and let the People of the Land of Light help them repair the Eduardawa Spark?

[Because the kingdom, led by King Absolut, utterly despises the Land of Light's methods of maintaining cosmic balance and measuring good and evil, light and darkness.]

They believe that the universe operates on a jungle law of survival of the fittest, so their goal is not only to solve the energy crisis, but also... to break the set of laws promoted by the Land of Light.

"Yes, that's why I teamed up with the King of Ultra to wipe out the entire kingdom."

I must admit, that king was completely different from the two tribes of the Water Planet; he genuinely accepted these laws.

[Because the King of Absolut showed no regret or resentment in his eyes as he died, he was a worthy opponent. But I cannot accept their ideology.]

……

[Year 150, Day 1: I returned to the Mebius timeline to visit the future.]

I learned something from him: a member of GUYS lost his life due to old age.

[The theory of lifespan...]

However, he was resilient to the future. He did not succumb to sorrow, but instead carried on firmly, bearing the hopes of Aihara Ryu, Sakomizu Shingo, and the others.

[Won't we see it in the not-too-distant future?]

[A day when no one is persecuted by monsters or alien invaders.]

[And Earth's Earth Defense Force has also developed very well; they have truly succeeded in protecting Earth through their own strength.]

……

[Day 52 of the 2800th year: I returned to Canaan.]

A funeral is being held here.

[Jugglus Juggler and Kai were also there. Jugglus Juggler's eyes were red because lying in the coffin was his disciple, Mikoto, whom he had taken in long ago.]

……

[Day 312 of Year 54906: After 20041002 days of effort, I have collected enough power of belief.]

I have scattered Noah statues in every parallel universe. These statues are my clones, not inanimate objects. They ensure that invaders in their respective universes dare not move.

[Yeah, there are way more Noah statues now than there are of Ultraman Tiga, the corpse-dumping king.]

The ideal world has truly arrived.

[I've observed for several years, and throughout the entire Ultra Timeline and the greater universe, there hasn't been a single instance of invasion from any parallel universes.]

Because no one dared to move, everyone had to find a solution outside of war.

[Through my continued efforts, finally... everyone realized it.]

War is truly the worst possible strategy.

My goal has been achieved; I have seen the vision I had envisioned.

The ideal world where no innocent people die has finally arrived.

Furthermore, after discussions with the King of Ultra and myself, they agreed to help me govern this vast universe.

Thanks to their help, I was able to catch my breath and return to my hometown for a visit.

With Noah's power, I broke the shackles of the universe, and I saw a different kind of color.

[The Kamen Rider universe, the Super Sentai universe... and the world I used to live in.]

I returned to my hometown, but I no longer recognized it.

Even though the flow of time differs between the two great universes, I still spent a full 50,000 years in the Ultra Timeline.

More than three thousand years have passed since I left this place.

Here, I saw an even more dazzling red light.

My feelings are complicated because I didn't see any familiar faces. The theory of lifespan has befallen me.

But... I also saw the ideal world that 1.4 billion people yearn for.

[Hmm? Wait... with my current abilities, it seems I can do some things?]

Using the power of time, I traveled back more than three thousand years, back to the scene of the fire.

I saved everyone.

I returned to the home I had left more than 50,000 years ago.

I saw a familiar woman; she had been waiting for me.

"came back?"

"Yes... I'm back."

"However, I can't stay too long."

"why?"

“In many places, I have heard many people say this about us Warriors of Light.”

"When faced with invasion and persecution by invaders, we Warriors of Light fight to the death for them."

“When there is no invasion or persecution, we are the wall protecting them.”

"The invaders are here, disaster is here, the Warriors of Light are the saviors of the people."

“I remember those words very clearly.”

"Therefore, the days of peace have just begun, and we still need people to maintain them; there are still many people who need us."

"I have no reason to refuse such a request."

……
