Dark Tiga, what are you doing?

Chapter 141 Ace: I Speak for Myself
"Daigo, bye-bye, this world is in your hands now."

Tenryukai and the others boarded the time-travel machine. They inserted their transformation devices into the machine. Masaki Keigo had specially designed grooves for each of their transformation devices to accommodate energy usage, allowing them to insert and release energy to activate the equipment.

Looking at these dents, Tenryukai began to suspect that Masaki Keigo had not given up on the Global Giants of Light project, and was preparing to collect their transformation device data to complete the human gene pool, helping the people on Earth to achieve their shining moment and enter the Global Giants Era.

"Yes, thank you." Daigo looked at the many Ultraman human hosts, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He had never expected that there would be so many Ultraman in this other world.

Unlike his side, where some are suffering from drought while others are suffering from floods.

The difference is huge.

"Don't worry, Daigo. Although we're leaving, we'll keep an eye on the situation here. As long as there are any abnormal energy fluctuations similar to those of the God of Destruction, we'll be able to detect them even if we're in another world, and we can still come to our aid," Dan Moroboshi said before leaving.

"Yeah." Dagu nodded.

He touched the spark prism on his chest.

Since it was not Shining Tiga or Daigo who defeated the Dark Ruler, and the Light of the Human Heart did not descend upon him, his transformation ability did not disappear.

However, even if he didn't disappear, Daigo didn't plan to transform.

From this day forward, with the power of humanity itself, we will surely be able to move towards a brighter future.

He believes that humanity's future is a dignified path, and Ultraman only needs to appear when there is an invasion by foreign enemies; otherwise, humanity does not need Ultraman.

For humanity, Ultraman can only be a guardian, not a guide.

As the enormous time-travel machine started up, the surrounding energy instantly converged, and terrifying energy fluctuations erupted from the machine, distorting space and creating a time tunnel. The time-travel machine roared to life.

Daigo's hair was blown up by the wind, and as if sensing something, he turned his head to look in a certain direction.

It was just a hurricane that hit, and nothing was seen.

Looking back, the time machine had already entered time travel and was on its way back to the shining Earth.

Some spaces remain untouched by the turmoil that has yet to subside.

It seems that as long as there is enough time, while the spatial turbulence is still present, and a powerful external force is used to attack this place, the tunnel can be opened.

Daigo stared at it for a while, but did not make a move from beginning to end.

Only after the spatial ripples disappeared did he turn around, muttering, "It feels like something went with them. Was it just my imagination?"

Daigo thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Even if they did, with so many Ultramen on their side, they could easily handle it.

He should just enjoy the peace and quiet he has left.

Daigo gazed into the distance, feeling the air was so fresh.

Besides the setting sun on the horizon, the Ultra Star shines brightly, the brightest star in the night sky.

What kind of promise did director Eiji Tsuburaya make to the original director? Daigo was curious.

……

Decades ago.

Director Eiji Tsuburaya.

Everything unfolded exactly as the story had initially predicted.

Daigo travels through time to the past, while the Monster Buyer is constantly searching for the most vicious monsters in the universe, which are said to be suppressed at the bottom of a lake.

He learned about this from director Eiji Tsuburaya, and so he began searching for that lake.

The buyer of the space monster acted swiftly, quickly locating the lake where the monster was being suppressed, and attempted to release it from the lake.

This monster was originally suppressed at the bottom of the lake by the original Ultraman himself. At the time of sealing the monster, director Eiji Tsuburaya happened to be by the lake and witnessed it. As a symbol of the friendship between Ultraman and humanity, the original Ultraman gave the Ultra Star to director Eiji Tsuburaya, symbolizing their friendship.

Now that the space buyer Yanagaki has released the monster again, it has undoubtedly attracted the attention of Daigo, who has traveled from decades in the future, and director Eiji Tsuburaya. However, director Eiji Tsuburaya is currently holding a wishing red ball in his hand.

It was found by that lake again.

Director Eiji Tsuburaya discovered that the red ball could grant wishes. Watching the scene of Tiga fighting against the monster that was sealed away in the original game, Director Eiji Tsuburaya looked down at the red ball and wanted to make a wish.

However, this wish has not yet been voiced.

The red stone that the first generation had personally given him had reacted again.

Seemingly sensing director Eiji Tsuburaya's inner desire, that stone transformed into the first Ultraman, descending onto the battlefield to fight alongside Ultraman Tiga.

Director Eiji Tsuburaya, watching Ultraman Tiga and Ultraman fight side by side, thought of what Ultraman had said: the Land of Light would always be watching over Earth from the horizon, protecting humanity.

He looked down at the wishing red ball.

During this time, he obtained one wish after another through the wishing red ball, which helped him create one wonderful Ultraman hero story after another.

He also knew that if the wishing red ball were allowed to exist on Earth, it would eventually lead to a great disaster.

So, watching the heroic figures of the original Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga fighting side by side, Eiji Tsuburaya silently made a wish to the wishing red ball.

"If one day in the future Earth faces a disaster that even the Ultra Heroes cannot confront, please bring the power of the other Ultra Heroes to help the Ultra Heroes on Earth, save the Earth, and save humanity."

"And you, go to other worlds. Earth doesn't need you."

With the wish of director Eiji Tsuburaya fulfilled.

The wishing red ball flashed twice in a row.

My wish has been fulfilled.

Following this, after the original Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga joined forces to defeat the monster suppressed at the bottom of the lake, the Wishing Red Ball also vanished into the void, continuing its wandering in the vast universe, heading towards the next world that Eiji Tsuburaya spoke of.

Eiji Tsuburaya witnessed the historic moment when Ultraman Tiga shook hands with the original Ultraman.

"This is truly a scene worth recording."

……

……

Shining Earth.

The group returned to Shining Earth aboard the time machine.

When they returned, it was three days later. Due to the time travel, the flow of time was different because of the different time and space.

Only Masaki Keigo and Kirino Makio were guarding the Alchemy Star base.

The rest of the people are scattered all over the world, busy with their own affairs.

Unless there's something else going on, they generally don't gather together. They usually just chat in their own Ultraman chat group.

"Finally back." Takayama Gamu stretched.

Looking at the Alchemy Star Base they had built together, Takayama Gamu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She really thought she might not make it back from this battle.

Tian Liuhai casually picked up an orange from someone nearby and started eating it.

In the Ultraman universe, he never worried about whether he could come back.

There's absolutely no need to worry.

As long as you are a champion of justice, even if you die, someone can resurrect you.

At this stage, Tian Liuhai is undoubtedly a partner of justice.

He was Ace's human form, mingling with many Ultra Heroes. Who would have thought that he was actually a dark being?

"You're back." Kirino Makio stepped forward to greet them.

“It seems you have successfully defeated the evil god from another world,” said Masaki Keigo.

“Strictly speaking, it wasn’t actually us who defeated them. When we arrived, it was already in a post-war state. The world-destroying evil god was destroyed by an unknown entity in that universe. We just went there to bring the people back.” Haruno Musashi scratched his head.

Asuka Shin felt a little regretful.

This time, he already knew that it was the highest-level file recorded by TPC, which showed Daigo fighting the evil god all by himself.

He was initially thrilled to be able to participate in the battle firsthand.

Unexpectedly, by the time they arrived, the Dark Ruler had already been dealt with.

Moreover, unlike the original timeline, he was not defeated by Tiga, but was resolved by an unknown entity.

This is intriguing.

Rather than belonging to the past timeline, it's more accurate to describe it as a completely new spacetime. It belongs to a parallel universe with a different trajectory. Although there are subtle differences, overall, it still belongs to the Ultraman Tiga TV timeline.

What a pity.

He originally wanted to join the war and be recorded in the TPC's archives. Eight years later, another version of him emerged, inheriting the light. He learned about the situation from the captain of the GUTS team, and his shocked expression was truly regrettable.

Asuka Shin patted the flash sword in his pocket.

"Oh?" Masaki Keigo and Kirino Makio exchanged a glance. Before they could speak, Moroboshi Dan said, "I would like to ask your Alchemy Star to build an instrument to monitor that world. Once a being similar to an evil god appears, it will sound an alarm, and we can go to provide support."

“That’s an interesting idea,” Kirino Makio said, raising an eyebrow.

It's similar to how he uses his superpowers to survey the Earth's periphery in order to prevent foreign invasion, except that it's more difficult because it involves cross-temporal and spatial monitoring.

Masaki Keigo glanced at Takayama Gamu and Fujimiya Hiroya.

The two nodded to Masaki Keigo.

"Okay, I understand." Masaki Keigo looked at the time travel machine.

Just as Tian Liuhai had guessed.

The time-travel machine did indeed record some information about their transformation devices; it automatically recorded the moment their transformation devices unleashed their power.

However, after several setbacks, Masaki Keigo decided against immediately implementing the plan.

It was just something he was considering.

Prepare everything in advance, and it's not too late to activate this plan when there's nowhere else to go.

The group chatted briefly about the Ultraman Tiga TV timeline before dispersing to do their own things.

Before leaving, Hokuto Seiji stopped Tenryukai and Suzuki Ame to ask them about their recent situation.

Suzuki Yu was a little flustered by the question.

Fortunately, there was still Tian Liuhai, the ultimate slacker, on the sidelines.

Tian Liuhai answered Beidou Xingsi's question flawlessly.

Everything seemed perfectly normal; nothing unexpected happened.

This made Hokuto Seiji nod thoughtfully, it seemed that the problem still lay with Ace.

Why doesn't he try to contact the remaining part of Ace's light? He could find out what happened directly from Ace's light.

Beidou Xingsi pondered.

Otherwise, if this problem isn't solved, Hokuto Seisaku won't even have the appetite to eat.

He used to be able to eat a whole pot of rice, but now he can only manage three bowls.

This cannot continue.

Beidou Xingsi was deep in thought.

Seeing Hokuto Seisi's appearance, Tenryukai was also curious.

What's wrong with Hokuto Seiji? Why is he suddenly asking them these questions?

He should have kept his Dark Tiga identity well hidden.

Mentioning Dark Tiga reminds me of when I killed Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness. It was as if I saw another ruler of darkness in Gatanothor's eyes.

After a moment's thought, Tian Liuhai gave up.

There's no need to overthink it.

"We're leaving now," Tian Liuhai waved.

As the deputy head of the logistics department, he actually had quite a lot of work to do, but he usually piled up all that work aside and dealt with it on a certain day, or he would leave it all to Suzuki Amane.

Originally, Suzuki Amane's position wouldn't have allowed her to get involved in those kinds of work, but since the person who mentored her was Tenryukai, a seasoned slacker, she naturally became a part-time worker.

"If you feel there's anything wrong, you can tell me." Hokuto Seiji was still a little worried.

"Yes, yes," Tian Liuhai said.

Suzuki Umi saw Hokuto Seiji say these words.

Some doubts arose in her mind: had her knowledge of the Dark Ruler been discovered?

Hokuto Seisi wasn't sure yet, which is why he asked these questions to subtly probe the situation.

Suzuki Yu took a deep breath.

It seems necessary to try and resolve the remaining issues surrounding Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness. Ideally, we should trace her back to the source and figure out why she was able to become the ruler of darkness. This is the first time I've felt the power of darkness so directly and clearly.

……

When everyone dispersed.

A faint yellow light flickered inside the time-travel machine.

The light quickly slipped away from the Alchemy Star and headed out into the outside world.

"Big Sister, weren't we supposed to be looking for the Boss? Why did we suddenly end up in this world with this group of Ultramen?" Darram asked from behind.

While Fujimiya Hiroya and the others were investigating the Wishing Red Ball, Camilla's trio were constantly searching for traces of Dark Tiga, but no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find any clues about Dark Tiga.

This made them wonder if Dark Tiga had left Earth, but Camilla had a unique way of determining Dark Tiga's approximate location. She was initially fooled by Daigo when they first met.

However, Camilla soon denied that Daigo was the former Dark Tiga due to the previous appearance of Dark Tiga's aura.

Camilla examined it closely and concluded that Daigo had merely inherited Tiga's body and power; he wasn't the real Daigo.

Tiga's escape was quite clever; if she hadn't clearly sensed Dark Tiga's presence, she probably would have been fooled as well.

Camilla touched the crystal on her forehead; this crystal resonated with Dark Tiga.

It allows him to determine the approximate location of Dark Tiga, a gift Dark Tiga had given him. He never imagined it would come in so handy now.

“You don’t understand. Coming to this world was the right choice.” Camilla felt the heat from the crystal on her forehead, which meant that their decision to secretly follow them to this world was correct, because Dark Tiga’s presence had been there from the beginning.

But how do we find Dark Tiga?

After Camilla came out, she stopped at a certain spot and fell into deep thought.

The crystal on her forehead wasn't always reliable; sometimes it would suddenly lose its ability to sense Dark Tiga's drastically changed location. This puzzled her, because even if Dark Tiga concealed his presence, the crystal on her forehead should still have a location.

It's just more blurred, but that direct disconnection is like the darkness disappearing and the light leaping out.

Very strange.

Camilla couldn't understand it.

Moreover, now that she has arrived in a completely new world, Camilla needs to carefully consider her next course of action.

She suspected that Dark Tiga was very likely following the Ultra Warriors inside the time-travel machine.

Just like them, they hid and followed in secret.

It's just that we don't know if Dark Tiga has broken away from those Ultra Warriors, or if he's still hiding in those people's bodies.

So annoying.

I haven't used my brain for 30 million years, and now it feels strange to suddenly use it again.

……

at that time.

In this world, Camilla has become fixated on Daigo, and she's absolutely certain that Daigo is the former Tiga. Of course, the main reason is that she hasn't sensed the aura of Dark Tiga, leading her to accept that Daigo is indeed the former Tiga.

Camilla was annoyed to see Daigo so stubbornly going on dates with Rena again and again.

It seems it's time to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, Daigo probably won't know what a warrior of love and hate is.

……

Another place.

The Dark Godfather Ace, inside the Ultra Ring, has already started to give up. He's been watching the whole battle from inside the Ultra Ring.

Watching Black-Eyed Tiga devour the body of the Dark Ruler and grow even stronger, and seeing his other human form devour the Dark Ruler's soul, thus gaining a basic grasp of the ability to transform into the Dark Ruler, Ace was speechless.

silent.

It's ruined.

never mind.

Destroy the world.JPG
If this continues, Ace will probably no longer be the Ultra Brother Ace, but will become the representative of the Dark Duo Ace.

Fortunately, the only thing that comforted him was that Tian Liuhai continued to slack off as always, while Suzuki Yu seemed to feel some resistance to his identity as the Dark Ruler.

There is still help.

It's just difficult.

Ace was deep in thought.
