Chapter 368 The Era of Light (End of Ultraman Tiga's Side Story)

The Time-Space Golden Dragon, which was returning to a state of death and moving towards rebirth, had its immune program fall into logical chaos.

It detected that the balance of the universe was being disturbed by a completely new variable that it could not classify or handle!

An unprecedented "light of creation," incomprehensible by any past cycle of reincarnation, is quietly exploding at the end of annihilation!
The "egg," formed from the convergence of wills through countless cycles, floats in conceptual nothingness.

It originates from dualism, but it is no longer an absolute "zero" after the two opposing forces of good and evil cancel each other out; rather, it is a warm, pulsating, and open "singularity."

Within, the echoes of all lives that chose light and fought to protect, through countless cycles of reincarnation, are resonating and merging in an unprecedentedly harmonious way.

This generation of "Kyrierods" received ineffable information from those few observation points in the multiverse.

They "saw" the singularity, but were unable to analyze it.

That was no longer any cosmic phenomenon as they perceived it; it was a... living, self-willed, entirely new logical system!

"Impossible... Cycles should return to stillness... What is this 'activity'... What is this 'direction'?!"

The Kirieloids, whose peaceful minds had chosen to renounce interference and remain detached, were now filled with horror and confusion.

The Time-Space Golden Dragon instinctively sensed both a tremendous threat and an opportunity.

Its enormous body, formed from timelines, coiled around the singularity, no longer launching attacks, but instead "sniffing" out this newborn existence.

Its immune system completely stalls because it is an object that it cannot classify, much less "balance".

The barrier between dimensions trembled violently, and the amber of possibilities, which had accumulated endless "wonderful possibilities," was crumbling, with everything flowing uncontrollably towards it.

That false utopia, built on escapism and destined to fall into eternal despair after experiencing all the good things, is crumbling at its very foundation.

At this moment, in the multiverse, all sufficiently powerful beings, regardless of their emotions, have focused their attention on that one point.

What happens inside that "egg" transcends description in any language.

It was a starry sky composed of pure will and emotion.

Countless Tigas are born in one cycle after another, similar yet different, with different origins and experiences, but ultimately choosing to go in the same direction.

Their figures flicker within, no longer independent individuals, but transformed into a consensus, a vow, an algorithm.

Similarly, countless warriors marched in the same direction, and even ordinary lives that were moved by the light and fought for it...

Their faces returned once more; the desperate battles they had chosen, all their sacrifices, the hope in their hearts... all transformed into the brilliant stars in this sea of ​​will.

There is no sound here, yet the same vow that transcends infinite time and space echoes.

Even if the cycle of reincarnation is endless, even if the end is annihilation, we will still choose to protect!

"Our lives have meaning because of protecting others!"

This boundless, consensus-based "will to protect" achieved absolute purity and unity.

It is no longer merely a force equal to the darkness of destruction in the dualistic opposition of good and evil, but has been sublimated in this iteration from one finger to infinity, crossing infinity!

It has become a kind of unwavering determination to keep going when life faces the emptiness of existence!

In this boundless torrent, destruction, which was originally completely equivalent to protection in the dualistic system, was rejected, diluted, and transformed.

It could no longer maintain its ultimate form within this pure will of light, like a snowflake evaporating instantly in the core of the sun.

The dualism of good and evil is fundamentally overturned and negated within this singularity formed by the persistence of infinite life and infinite years!

It's not about eliminating evil, not about the inevitable process of opposition in dualism, but about choosing to negate everything!
Good and evil, protection and destruction, light and darkness... all these things, equal on both sides of the same scale, are rejected!
Like the rising sun, a figure shimmering with brilliant light slowly coalesced at the center of that sea of ​​wills.

That figure had no fixed form, or rather, it was the aggregate of all things. In a daze, it transformed into the appearance of Ultraman Tiga.

This is not a specific Ultraman Tiga.

He is the sum of all Tiga born in all reincarnations, and also the soul of every warrior and every life.

He looked down into the inside of the "egg," then out of the shell, and saw the observers outside—the horrified Kirieloids, the bewildered spacetime dragon, the trembling alien dimension…

His thoughts were calm yet grand, resounding at the edge of reality:

“We have already gone through countless cycles, and this is not a futile cycle.”

“Every annihilation, every choice, is an accumulation for this moment.”

"We are not trying to defeat darkness... because light does not need darkness as a reference."

"Kindness never needs evil as a contrast!"

"Now, we need to redefine 'existence'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire "egg" emitted an indescribable light.

That was not the light that illuminated the darkness, but the light that "defined light"! It was the first ray of light in the new world!

The "egg of logic" unfolds.

Like a lotus blooming, or like the gentle expansion of the singularity of the Big Bang. There is no destructive impact, only the alternation and coverage of the laws of nature.

From that blossoming center, a brand new multiverse unfolds like a scroll painting.

The underlying laws of this new multiverse are already different.

The arrow of time continues to move forward, but it carries with it a tendency toward "hope"—that is, the possibility of something better has a slightly higher probability of being realized.

The law of causality still exists, but the causal chain of "goodwill" has become more resilient and harder to be interrupted by chance or malice.

The law of conservation of energy still holds true, but the will to live itself is recognized as a transformable and resonant form of energy that can produce tremendous synergistic effects under specific conditions.

Most importantly, good and evil still exist.

However, the potential of the "good" in this universe has been greatly enhanced, possessing an inherent dimension that can grow infinitely.

"Evil" is confined to a certain range. It remains a challenge and a trial for life, but it is no longer a symmetrical mirror image that is destined to perish together with good and cannot be escaped!

The shadow of the "Land of Darkness" did not appear in sync with the Land of Light in the new universe.

Perhaps, in a new multiverse, due to certain factors or despair, a similar existence will arise in some corner, but it will never be able to form an absolute darkness that is completely equivalent to the ultimate light and will inevitably lead to ultimate annihilation.

The Kirieloids fell silent.

Their long-held ideal of detachment has been shattered.

In the minds of many Kirieloid individuals, fluctuations called "envy" and "reflection" reappeared.

"This isn't so bad..."

Transcending time and space, they felt the endless light shining upon them, and with smiles, they walked towards this new era of light.

The golden dragon of time and space let out a long, drawn-out roar.

It swayed slowly, blending into the background of the new universe.

As an immune system that spontaneously arose from the multiverse, its role has not disappeared, but it has changed.

If he used to be a ruthless "chemotherapy doctor," now he has transformed into an "immune system modulator."

His "transcendental phenomenon" will be used more to stimulate the potential of life and maintain that dynamic, upward balance, rather than merely to prevent extremism.

And that other dimension, that false utopia, under the illumination of the new cosmic laws, began to evaporate like morning dew under the sun, and endless wonderful possibilities returned.

And that despair, that endless darkness that will inevitably be faced in the infinitely distant future, melted away like ice and snow under the blazing sun...

The Land of Light, the Land of Light from that previous cycle, has returned.

And in each cycle of reincarnation, every ultimately benevolent civilization that is born also returns.

There was even a mechanical island civilization, which once chose absolute stillness, choosing to watch over the future.

However, waiting is not cowardice, but waiting for an opportunity.

In those endless cycles, when differences emerged within the absolute balance of the dualistic system, the mechanical island civilization had already joined the battle.

The blood and tears shed by all those who fought for this cause have become the foundation of this new universe itself.

Their will has been perfectly continued.

In the infinite space and time of this new multiverse, on countless planets, deep within the genes of life, in the subconscious of civilization, and in infinite possibilities, there is an "instinct" that inclines toward light, yearns to protect, and believes in the future.

Tiga and his countless warriors are no longer a single, fixed giant, but have become a new "phenomenon" in the multiverse.

When life faces dire straits, when courage and hope reach their peak, and when the will to protect is firm enough, light will gather to guide them out of their predicament, and even... transform them into light itself.

The war is over.

The war, which spanned countless battlefields and endless years, has come to an end…

The Land of Light, along with countless civilizations, through endless cycles of sacrifice and perseverance, finally won for countless lives a future where they could truly yearn for light and have the opportunity to realize it.

This is not eternal peace; challenges and darkness still exist.

But this is a free world, a world where life has the freedom to choose the light.

In a certain time and space, on a certain Earth, under a clear blue sky, a group of children are running and playing on the grass.

The rising sun shines on the children.

Suddenly, one of the boys who had blended in looked up at the sky, and a giant phantom formed of light nodded slightly.

Fang Zheng blinked, the illusory image disappeared, and Fang Zheng smiled.

He continued to play happily with the children, feeling the warmth of the sun, and thought that the sunshine today was especially beautiful.
