Chapter 321 Embryo of Light
With a deafening roar, the life-sized Ultraman Tiga flew at high speed through the thick ocean and stood atop the surface.

Looking up at the sky, he saw countless stars, and the calm sea breeze caressed his body, bringing him a sense of peace.

"I've been underwater for three days, haven't I?" Tiga glanced at the starry sky and immediately calculated from the subtle changes in the stars and the moon how much time had passed since the battle ended.

"The Earth's rotation angle and orbit have also been corrected..."

The calm sea surface signifies that the two Ultramen have successfully suppressed all the aftershocks and completely repaired the resulting shifts in rotation angle and changes in planetary orbits.

only……

Boom! Rumble! Rumble... A muffled thunderclap came from the distance on the sea surface, and a thick storm cloud intertwined with a massive amount of lightning rapidly swept towards the calm sea.

"So there are still traces of nuclear radiation dust...?" Tiga flashed and rushed into the storm cloud in a moment.

Rolling lightning flowed over his body, yet it brought him no pain whatsoever.

With a reach, the hazy light particles transformed into an invisible giant hand, sifting out all the water vapor condensation nuclei within the storm cloud covering a radius of a thousand meters.

It was a cloud of dust heavier than a person, gathered in Tiga's hand.

With a clench of his fist, the massive dust cloud rapidly disintegrated and fell into the sea below, leaving only a tiny speck of dust shimmering with a metallic sheen at his fingertips.

Ultraman Tiga's energy vision allows him to clearly see the radiation he continuously emits outward.

A suffocating sadness erupted from the depths of my heart.

There were no tears or sobs, only a silent pain.

Tiga tilted his head back, his face, which could not shed tears, was battered by a relentless storm, just like his heart.

"Lina, Xincheng, Horii..."

"You...you're all gone now..."

At the very beginning of his transformation into the Giant of Light, Daigo had already realized that many TPC staff members he knew in the Land of Tiga had been killed by infrasound, and even Rena, whom he secretly loved, had died as a result.

At that moment, he felt only anger, only wanted to avenge everyone, and wanted to kill the two world-destroying beasts.

In the ensuing battle, when two new Giants of Light joined the battlefield, Daigo discovered that all the dead and survivors in the Land of Tiga had somehow infused their souls and life force into the two stone statues, thus bringing them to life.

Their souls and life force burned like fuel, constantly activating the dormant light energy within the statue of the Giant of Light.

This should have killed them quickly and completely, but the perpetual energy given by the mysterious child allowed their burning life force and soul to continue burning and outputting power.

At that time, Daigo had already calculated that if he dealt with the two monsters as soon as possible, there might be a way to keep them alive before their soul structures could not withstand the endless outward energy surges and completely collapsed.

If the warriors can bring their souls back to life, perhaps I can try to use Tiga's healing ray to repair their bodies and thus officially revive them.

But then, I fainted...

Daigo seemed to lose all his strength all at once, letting himself fall from the storm clouds high in the sky into the sea, letting the cold seawater engulf him, and falling rapidly to the bottom of the sea like a cold stone.

"Why...why can't I hold on..."

"I'm clearly in better shape than them."

"I should have been able to hold on."

"I clearly have to keep going!"

"But why..."

Why did I lose consciousness after the battle ended...?

If I can remain conscious during these three days, the numerous souls within the two giants of light will not need to continue burning, continuously driving that terrifying power to counteract the Earth's tilted rotation, to quell the spreading aftershocks, to correct the Earth's disrupted orbit, and to purify the global nuclear radiation dust...

Now, the corrected trajectory and the still severely residual nuclear radiation dust mean that the beings inside those two giants of light continued to be active for a long time after they fell unconscious, until they were completely burned up before the nuclear radiation dust was completely cleared away, and their soul structures completely collapsed under the endless surge of energy.

After crying silently in the sea for a while, Daigo regained his spirits.

"I will take over the work they left unfinished!"

"I will inherit their will!"

Boom! Rumble! Rumble...

With a sonic boom, Tiga, in his life-size form, transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the TPC Far East Base. ...

One of the Victory Team members, computer genius Nori, after working continuously for another day and night, looked at the blank, lifeless lines on the screen, sporting huge dark circles under his eyes, and said, "Still no energy waves belonging to Tiga have been detected..."

"Waaah..." The voice grew softer and softer, the suppressed sobs echoing in the operations room.

Victory Team captain Megumi Kiyama sighed and gently patted her teammate's shoulder.

Bang! A fist slammed hard on the table. Vice-Captain Zongfang's eyes were also red, and he gritted his teeth. "Daigo, you bastard! How could you abandon all of us teammates?!"

Outside the command room, Daigo, who had just entered the base directly using the method of light particle dispersion and recombination, stood silently outside the door for a long time after hearing the voice inside.

Only after the command room had quieted down did he open the door. Looking at the three astonished figures inside, he said softly, "I'm back."

With a thud, before he could finish speaking, Vice Captain Zongfang strode over and gave Daigo a big hug. "You kid, it's good to be back, it's good to be back!"

"Team Leader Daigo," Megumi said with a smile, wiping away tears from her eyes, "Welcome back to the team."

"Daigo, welcome back!" Nori also hurriedly stood up from his computer desk, rushed to Daigo, and looked at him with surprise.

After the two separated, Daigo bowed deeply and shouted, "I'm sorry... of the four team members who went to the Land of Tiga, only I survived!"

"I will definitely carry on the legacy of Lina, Shinjo, and Horii..."

*Smack!* Zongfang slapped Daigo on the forehead. "What are you talking about, kid? We're not all dead yet!"

"Daigo, look here!" Nori wiped away her tears happily and hurriedly ran back to the computer desk to start working.

A moment later, three large faces appeared on the large screen in the command room, the faces of the three members of the Victory Team.

Shinjo groggily opened his eyes, rubbing them, and mumbled, "Captain? What...is it now...?"

He patted his cheeks, forcing himself to wake up. "Sorry, I'm not feeling too well, a little groggy."

"Look who this is!" Ye Rui exclaimed excitedly.

When the three dazed faces fixed their gaze on Daigo, they quickly snapped back to reality, saying little but simply smiling.

A moment later, before the conversation could continue, the three faces on the big screen closed their eyes again.

Intermediary Kei explained to the puzzled Daigo.

Three days ago, with the end of the final battle, the first revived Giant of Light turned into specks of light and dissipated in the distant space.

The two giants of light that subsequently revived continued to function for several hours, thanks to the influence of the numerous souls within them.

They suppressed the aftermath of the battle, corrected the tilted Earth's rotation and orbit, and then, before they felt they could no longer hold on, they did their utmost to clean up the radioactive fallout caused by the massive nuclear bombs and the monsters' actions.

Halfway through the work, the two giants of light returned to the pyramid and turned back into stone statues before they could no longer hold on.

However, all the souls that should have been completely burned away underwent some kind of change as the continuous burning destroyed their soul structures.

When scientists from TPC rushed to the scene to conduct their research, a blurry human figure made of dim light emerged from the stone statue.

That's Masaki Keigo.

He told the scientists that the souls of all the people in the statues had become incomplete, or like newly sprouting buds.

The endless burning souls and the surging power exceeded their limits, causing their soul structures to collapse. However, this also allowed the remaining parts of their souls to combine with light energy, thus transforming them into a state similar to an embryo.

In this embryonic state, they are temporarily unable to break free from the statue of the Giant of Light. They can only slumber within it, slowly growing and completing the structure of their souls.

However, Masaki Keigo already possessed the light genetic factor, so even his soul structure was more compatible with the light genetic factor.

Compared to the other souls who were in a state of complete slumber, he was able to remain awake for a period of time.

During this period of lucidity, he connected with the artificial intelligence "Karen" and, using the data he had gathered during his time as the Giant of Light, invented a communication device that could be used to contact these souls.

He also claimed that, given enough time to develop, all the souls within the two statues would completely transform into embryos of light.

Given a carrier, or with proficient control over energy, it might be possible to detach and materialize.
