Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 223 The power contained within the Ultraman Tiga statue: all the factors that make one a strong person.
The Kunlun Mountains, near the pyramids, are deserted.

The Tian Shu Bureau did not send any members to be stationed there.

no need.

Just as in the world of Ultraman Tiga, apart from the Giant of Light himself, human weapons have extremely limited effect on monsters; in the real world, when these monsters truly reveal their true nature, the threat posed by existing technology is even weaker.

Firearms? Artillery? Missiles?

With such a massive body and terrifying speed, how could the monster's defenses possibly be so weak?

Rather than letting the soldiers sacrifice themselves in vain, it is better to let them evacuate with the civilians.

This was Zhong Lao's decision.

Humanity's current weapons are ineffective against truly powerful beings; to eliminate them, we need beings of equal or greater strength.

Some battles are not meant for mortals from the very beginning.

The interior of the pyramids is bright and sacred.

Golden light streamed down from the dome like flowing liquid sunlight, filling the air with an indescribable warmth, as if one were in an eternal dawn, making one unconsciously relax and even breathe lightly.

This doesn't look like a ruin; it looks more like a temple.

Zhong Lao gazed calmly at the three towering giant stone statues.

"Inanimate objects".

They were indeed inanimate objects, since what appeared here were merely the bodies of the giants of light, while the giants themselves had already returned to their homeland.

Even so, Elder Zhong could still feel the power contained within the stone statue, vast and profound; even among the demons he encountered in the Morax template's memories, few could rival this power.

The three giants, each with a different posture, all exuded an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Two of the stone statues possess a pure and overwhelming power, like flawless radiance, so pure it is almost blinding.

But Ultraman Tiga's statue is even more special.

Its light is not dazzling, but rather carries a gentle sense of inclusiveness, as if it can contain everything, but beneath this gentleness lies a more complex essence.

Knowing the source of Ultraman Tiga's power, Elder Zhong naturally knew where this "complexity" came from.

The power of companions and lovers, and the power of one's own darkness.

Light and darkness coexist. What was Tiga thinking at that time?

"For the sake of light, betray the darkness, betray your companions, betray Camilla."

"I agree with the point that he abandoned darkness for light, but it's hard to judge his betrayal of his companions and lover."

Angel Yan appeared inside the pyramid at some unknown time, her silvery-white wings gently unfurling in the holy light, the atmosphere here making her feel quite comfortable.

She gazed at the stone statue of Ultraman Tiga and sighed.

Having stolen the power of his companions and severed his ties with darkness, is this the light that Tiga desired?
Unfortunately, there are too few stories about Tiga and Camilla, and she doesn't even know whether Tiga truly loves Camilla.

However, Camilla truly loved Tiga deeply.

Just like what she said to Daigo in the story, she didn't hate that Tiga chose the light; what she hated was that he turned away alone and left her in the darkness.

If only he had reached out back then, if only he had believed that she also longed for redemption...

So, will the ending be different?
Old Zhong knew of Angel Yan's arrival and heard her sighs, but he did not respond.

Even at his age, he is unwilling to easily judge matters of love.

What's more, the person sighing beside him at this moment is an angel who is more than ten times his age and is pursuing "true love".

Could he possibly use his life experience to teach her how to view love correctly?
Angel Yan seemed to notice Elder Zhong's silence, chuckled softly, and then looked away with interest.

"Ye Xuan, what do you think?"

"How can you interpret it? Why do you think Daigo avoided fighting Camilla as much as possible after transforming into Tiga in the final Holy War?"

"Even his human form feels that Tiga has wronged Camilla, so why does he need anyone else's opinion?"

Ye Xuan's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

Should I say she truly lives up to her title as Angel Yan?

What normal person's first thought upon seeing the Tiga statue is that Tiga himself betrayed Camilla and the others?

However, judging from Daigo's battles with the three in the final Holy War, Tiga's main body probably didn't feel anything when he took the power of Darram and Hydra, and Daigo didn't hesitate at all; only with Camilla, Daigo genuinely didn't want to fight her.

Angel Yan raised an eyebrow slightly:
"So you think Tiga is a heartless man?"

"I would like to say that there are unspeakable reasons behind this, but the question is, are there?"

Ye Xuan shook his head.

If it were true, then Tiga's main body wouldn't have lost so many statues in different universes without returning to Earth to revive Camilla and the others from the ruins.

Angel Yan seemed to find it amusing and continued to ask:

"So, if it were you, what would you choose?"

Ye Xuan paused for a moment, then said frankly, "I choose the captain from when he was young."

The air suddenly solidified.

Angel Yan: "What?"

"From an aesthetic point of view, I think the captain was prettier than Camilla when she was young. Since Yuzare is the captain's ancestor, she should have looked similar to the captain when she was young."

"Therefore, I think it makes perfect sense for Tiga to choose Yuzare."

Although it was a joke, Ye Xuan's aesthetic preferences do indeed lean more towards the captain in her younger days than Camilla.

but
"You should have higher pursuits than love." "Love is only a very small part of everyone's life in the long run."

"Eternal love? It doesn't exist."

Ye Xuan glanced at Tiga, then his gaze returned to Tiga's stone statue.

"Tiga may have liked Camilla at one time, but his final choice was clearly not love."

Even if he really did run towards the light with Camilla, so what?

Ultimately, Tiga will still lose his meaning as a giant due to humanity's choices, thus abandoning his physical body and chasing the light.

Camilla is also destined to be left behind.

Love may be above all else in the eyes of some people, but for the vast majority of people, it is just the most intense obsession at a certain stage of life.

Once that period is over, something more important will always take precedence over love.

Responsibility, belief, mission. Or even just time itself.

Zhong Lao stood aside without saying a word, but a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

Ye Xuan, on the other hand, sees things very clearly.

"Hmph, little brat."

"If you've never been in a relationship, how would you know how precious love is?"

True love will last forever.

Angel Yan gave a soft snort, her tone clearly showing dissatisfaction:
He was called "Ye Xuan" just now, but now he's been downgraded to "little brat".

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue.

In the face of Angel Yan's more than seven thousand years of existence, how many on Earth could not be considered "little kids"?

Will true love last forever?

maybe.

In this respect, he did not want to compare the real-world example of Earth with those works created by humans that embody all of humanity's beautiful fantasies about love.

At least in those stories, true love does indeed last forever.

"Gah——!"

Just then, a piercing hissing sound suddenly came from outside the pyramid, attracting the attention of Ye Xuan and the others.

In the sky, Melba's enormous figure slowly descended, its dark purple wings whipping up a gale, and it stared at the pyramid in front of it, letting out a defiant roar.

Almost simultaneously, the ground began to shake violently, and amidst the falling soil and rocks, Golza's massive body emerged from the rock strata. It shook its head, which was covered in rubble, and its face even showed a hint of human-like confusion.

Strange, although it did want to come here, the surrounding rock layers were extremely hard, even it couldn't dig them out, and only the soil in one direction was soft.

It scratched its head with its little hand, and finally shook its head.

I can't figure it out, never mind.

"Roar!!!"

Golza roared at the pyramid with a deafening roar, his eyes flashing with excitement. His massive body strode toward the pyramid, and the two monsters, one in the air and one on the ground, completely surrounded it.

"Would you like to try? Transform into Ultraman Tiga."

Old Zhong looked at Ye Xuan, his expression filled with anticipation.

Now that Ye Xuan has appeared here, the Tian Shu Bureau should have already informed him of their intentions.

In his opinion, there was no one more suitable than Ye Xuan in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Talent, ability, mentality, and luck.
Although Ye Xuan is not very old, he possesses all the qualities to become a strong person; and only he can make that plan possible.

It's a pity that the Tian Shu Bureau currently has no useful resources to support Ye Xuan.

Even the giant stone statues inside this pyramid can only be said to be treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty, not treasures of the Celestial Pivot Bureau.

Those chosen by the light should take what they deserve; the ownership of the giant statue should not belong to any power.

"Didn't the person that Elder Zhong wanted to wait for finally arrive?"

Ye Xuan looked at Elder Zhong, which was an affirmation of his previous idea.

"No."

Old Zhong shook his head.

Clearly, Ye Xuan's previous idea was correct. The reason why Elder Zhong was stationed here was not only because the giant stone statue was here, but also because he wanted to see if anyone in Great Xia had really obtained the template of Yuan Daigu or other ancient warrior gene holders.

However, it seems that... um?
As if sensing something, the three of them simultaneously turned their gaze to the outside of the pyramid and went outside.

"Boom--!"

A modified off-road vehicle was seen drifting wildly in the open space outside the pyramids, with provocative electronic synthesized sounds blaring from the loudspeaker on its roof:
"Golza, you big idiot! All you do is bully stone statues, right? Why didn't you show off when Tiga was around?"

"What are you looking at, Melba? You're a fucking idiot too! Do you know what a terrible teammate you've chosen? Once this bastard burrows underground and runs away, you'll know what 'the world is a dangerous place' really means!"

"You two cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong! What if the statue comes to life? You two will just explode!"

"."

The SUV executed a spectacular drift, kicking up a cloud of dust. The young man in the driver's seat even leaned out and gave Golza the middle finger.

　Camilla: I don't hate you for walking towards the light, I hate that you didn't take me with you.

　　Ultraman Tiga: One glowing one is enough. (doge.jpg)
