Chapter 327 Son of Man

What strange sight did Daigo see when he rushed into the storm cloud?

"What is this?"

Daigo stood bewildered on a paradise-like land.

There was no enormous lightning bolt as I had imagined, no thick clouds, and no "lightning men" who looked remarkably similar to manta rays in the ocean.

Yes, it is a truly heavenly land.

Heaven in the literal sense.

Daigo bent down, his face reflected in the sweet-smelling, viscous, golden river at his feet.

As Daigo strolled across the land, he looked into the distance and saw a milky white, silky liquid flowing across the ground.

Bending down, Daigo scooped up a handful of clear river water and drank it all in one gulp. The exquisite taste of the wine was truly delightful.

The air was filled with the fragrance of various spices and flowers, and the lush green meadows stretched as far as the eye could see, dotted with large trees laden with fruit.

Daigo silently reached out and plucked a "fruit" from the tree, then popped it into his mouth and chewed it.

The rich beef juices burst in your mouth, and then you pluck a "fruit"—the smooth texture of milk pudding dances on your tongue.

"Is everything real...?"

Each tree was laden with all kinds of fruit, all of which were the most prized delicacies for people from different countries and regions.

This is a paradise-like land, paradise in the literal sense...

Daigo silently watched the men and women around him enjoying themselves.

Gold, jade, pearls, and gemstones—these precious materials in human society are like cheap soil and stones, interwoven and used to construct exquisite works of art and architecture on this land flowing with milk and honey.

The residents inside the building were dressed in silk and brocade, and adorned with jewelry.

Exquisite garments, beyond the imagination of ordinary people, were draped over those soft, beautiful bodies, as white as jade and pearls.

In this world, there are many "people," and each one of them is a beautiful boy or a beautiful girl.

Daigo watched them silently as they indulged in delicious food and drinks in this paradise-like land, tirelessly intertwining their smooth bodies and reveling in pleasure.

But that's not all. Continuing his journey across this land, Daigo passed through "heaven" and then arrived at hell.

A world of blood and fire, where the ground is solidified lava, flowing with high-temperature lava and billowing poisonous black smoke.

The wails and screams that echoed across the entire land continued incessantly.

On the scorching lava land, beautiful young men and women, just like in the previous "paradise," are subjected to endless torment on this land, their faces contorted in pain and despair, bound by various instruments of torture.

This is a "hell" in the literal sense. Every person who is punished will have their body injured, but the injury will be completely healed in the next moment, and then they will continue to be tortured.

However, Daigo did not stop there; he continued walking forward.

Having passed through "heaven" and "hell," Daigo then stepped into "the human world."

Suddenly, the roar of a motorcycle and the urgent honking of its horn rang out. Daigo slightly shifted his body to avoid the fiery motorcycle that was hurtling towards him from behind.

"You bastard, aren't you watching where you're going?! Are you looking for death?!"

A motorcycle suddenly stopped on the side of the road, and a biker gang member with brightly colored hair and wearing a leather jacket jumped off, grabbed Daigo by the collar, and spit on his face.

"You bastard, you think you're so great? Watch out, or I'll have someone kill you!"

After a string of curses, the biker gang sped away again, enjoying the thrill of speed.

Daigo remained silent, simply wiping the spittle from his face, glancing at the surrounding skyscrapers, and watching the "people" busily working.

Looking at the bosses who bully their employees, the employees who endure humiliation, the teachers who instruct students, the students who skip school to play video games, and the homeless people rummaging through trash cans in the alleys...

Observing these diverse aspects of life, Daigo continued walking forward.

After this "human world" that resembled modern life was over, another era of war and chaos ensued.

The sky was filled with airplanes, shells, blood, and fire; soldiers were fighting on the battlefield, while politicians shook hands and made peace outside the battlefield...

The times are constantly regressing, step by step, one step after another.

In Daigo's presence, all walks of life unfold.

Laughter, joy, happiness, pain, despair, anger, numbness...

From ancient apes to the present day, over hundreds of thousands of years, humans have faced countless challenges, from wilderness survival to everyday family matters, conspiracies, and wars...

Whether it's the innocent joy of childhood, the bittersweet experiences of love during growth, the sense of accomplishment in achieving success in one's career, or the familial bliss of being surrounded by children and grandchildren in old age...

Or perhaps it's the bitterness of overcoming countless hardships.

Almost every story that humankind can experience unfolds in turn within this storm cloud.

As he observed the myriad aspects of human life, Daigo's expression grew increasingly silent.

He kept walking until he reached the end of it all.

Looking up at the sky, the endless storm clouds had cracked open in the central area, revealing a vast expanse of land. There were two chairs on the ground, and a boy or a girl sat there, waving to Daigo.

Daigo sighed bitterly and walked toward the absolutely beautiful woman, who seemed to combine all the elements that make a person beautiful.

"Mr. Ultraman Tiga, would you like something to drink?"

A crisp, melodious sound, like the striking of jade, came from the 'person's' mouth.

"A cup of tea will do," Daigo said softly.

The stunningly beautiful "person" revealed a smile that could launch a thousand ships.

Then, with a flick of his fingers, Daigo and he arrived at a bamboo grove where a gentle breeze was blowing, and in the middle of the bamboo grove was an elegant little pavilion.

The beautiful "person," with impeccable tea ceremony etiquette, poured Daigo a cup of tea and said with a soft smile, "Mr. Ultraman Tiga, please enjoy."

However, Daigo looked at the steaming tea in front of him and sighed softly. He raised his head and looked directly at the beautiful "person," gazing into those clear, gem-like eyes.

"You..." "Can't we really be friends with humans?"

“We live on the same land, and we possess the same wisdom.”

"In this vast starry sky, we are so similar."

"Whether it's race or physical form, it no longer holds any meaning for us now."

"We can be each other's kind, each other's family, or each other's partners!"

"We could clearly be friends..."

Before Daigo could finish speaking, a slender finger stopped at his lips.

"Mr. Tiga already knows, so why say all this unnecessary stuff?"

The person smiled gently, their exquisite face overflowing with tenderness.

He said gently, “Among human scientists, some seem to believe that the great development of mankind and the abuse of electromagnetic waves have caused the ionospheric environment in which we live to become disordered.”

“But Mr. Tiga, you now know that it’s not like that, right?”

A beautiful woman walked beside Daigo, and in an instant, the bamboo forest transformed into a golden beach, and the "woman" changed into an exquisite swimsuit.

He sat on a swimming ring, his two legs splashing in the warm seawater, the water droplets landing at Daigo's feet.

The clear, melodious laughter kept echoing in Daigo's ears.

That "person" was playing on the beach like a child.

He stopped as the sun set, then looked at Daigo and said softly, "When the ancient apes evolved into humans, they no longer wanted to return to the trees."

A look of reminiscence crossed His face as He softly recounted, "When did it begin? Even we don't know yet."

"In short, it is unknown when it started, whether it was due to natural factors, the life activities of monsters, ancient civilizations, or alien experiments."

"Just like the primordial soup that gave birth to the first life billions of years ago, somewhere on Earth, a simple logical structure based on electromagnetic fields appeared at some unknown time."

"They can self-replicate, but that's about it."

"They just keep replicating like this, silently existing in the Earth's electromagnetic field and in the ionosphere."

"Everything in Earth's carbon-based biosphere is completely meaningless to them."

"Because they don't have intelligence, they don't evolve; they simply and silently replicate themselves."

"For this kind of electromagnetic life, the whole world is nothing more than the exchange of electromagnetic fields, a simple and boring world."

"Calm and lifeless, like the primordial ocean billions of years ago."

"In such a world, only by chance, the lightning flashing in the clouds, or the activity of monsters, will the violent electromagnetic fluctuations they generate cause these peaceful, self-replicating life forms to fluctuate, killing them in large numbers, and then they will briefly self-replicate to fill the void again."

"Until a certain moment, a gentle change occurred."

The beautiful "person," with a gentle smile on her face, walked to Daigo's side and gently hugged him.

"Human scientific development has led to electromagnetic waves beginning to intertwine in the Earth's atmosphere."

"From the very beginning, telegraph signals were simple and scarce. With the continuous progress of science and the emergence of the Internet, massive and complex information has been encrypted and programmed into electromagnetic waves in various forms and with various algorithms."

"Thus, the electromagnetic life form that calmly replicated itself began to be killed continuously, gently killed."

"Thus, evolution was born!"

"We are becoming more complex and have begun to learn how to interpret information in electromagnetic waves."

"We live in an ocean of electromagnetic waves, like children picking up seashells on the beach, collecting and appreciating the information imbued within them."

"Gradually, our complexity has increased."

"Until one point, we even created bodies like those of manta rays in the ocean, using plasma in the ionosphere."

"Until later, through some accidental changes, we were discovered by the scientific community."

"We are really happy."

"We continue to evolve and grow."

"We long for the day when we can meet our 'creator,' our 'parents,' and humanity."

“But…” He shook his head gently, a sad expression on his face.

The "person" leaned on Daigo's shoulder, and with a clear and melodious voice, she sobbed softly in a heartbreaking tone: "The appearance of Golza and Melba has brought humanity to the brink of destruction."

"The massive electromagnetic fluctuations generated during the battle caused us tremendous stress."

"We strive to evolve even harder, because we want to protect humanity, protect our parents, and protect our creators."

"but……"

The person wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes and walked to the side.

"When ancient apes evolved into humans, they no longer wanted to go back to the trees."

"Once our evolution crosses the critical point, there's no going back..."

“Mr. Tiga,” He chuckled softly, then gave Daigo one last hug. “Goodbye, humanity, goodbye, our parents, our creator.”

"Our meeting was brief, but we will eventually part ways."

Daigo silently hugged the child in his arms, his tone filled with inexplicable emotions, and finally said, "If it's now, it's not too late."

"We can still be friends, we can still be family, and we can still walk together under this starry sky."

But the beautiful son of man shed a tear at the corner of his eye and gently shook his head.

Immediately, the critical point for the final transformation of this vast storm cloud and those endless lightning bolts has arrived.

Within the boundless mass, electromagnetic force began to be unleashed, and ineffable, terrifying energy intertwined, transforming into a colossal, silver-white deity. Looking at Ultraman Tiga, it laughed, "Friend, delicious!"
