Chapter 250: Ultraman Tiga's Revival

TPC hangar
Just as everyone was preparing to board the Flying Swallow II, a steady footstep came from behind.

The GUTS team members turned around and saw that Masaki Keigo had followed them at some point.

"Dr. Masaki? What is this...?"

Zong Fang frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

"I want to see with my own eyes a pyramid that may have existed for 30 million years. This is an irresistible temptation for any technician, isn't it?"

Masaki Keigo briefly explained the reason; he was quite interested in the pyramid.

"Absolutely! This is a marvel of archaeology and engineering! Just thinking about it is exhilarating!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Horii, who was standing next to him, nodded in deep agreement and said excitedly.

For a technician like him, the architecture of ancient civilizations is indeed quite attractive.

For a pure tech geek like Horii, Masaki Keigo's words undoubtedly struck a chord with him.

Munakata looked at Masaki Keigo, then at Horii who had a "I understand you" look on his face, and felt quite helpless.

"Alright. Then you'll come with me."

"No need, I have a pilot's license."

Masaki Keigo shook his head and pointed to the single-seat Flying Swallow No. 1 next to him.

"The Wing system is different from ordinary aircraft!"

Lina frowned upon seeing this. The Wing system could cruise at supersonic speeds within the atmosphere, so ordinary flight experience was useless.

"Hmm~"

Daigo and Shinjo nodded in agreement.

This series of aircraft is indeed powerful, like a wild horse that not everyone can handle.

"Heh~ As someone involved in the research and development, I know the power of this system better than you do, Miss Lina~"

Masaki Keigo smiled and skillfully entered the driver's seat.

Then the plane was started...

……

Half an hour later, in the forest of the Land of Tiga
"Huh...huh..."

Horii braced himself on his knees, panting heavily.

All around were endless primeval forests, with towering ancient trees blocking out the sky, and only dappled sunlight could filter through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

"This godforsaken place... could there really be pyramids here?"

He was panting and complaining.

Because the forest in this area was too dense, and the magnetic field was also somewhat abnormal, the aerial search yielded no results.

So they had to land and, like the most primitive expedition teams, search on foot in this desolate wilderness.

For a technician like him who spends most of his time in the laboratory, mountain climbing is already considered an extreme sport.

"That's right, this place is full of trees and rocks, it's a completely barren mountain."

"Such a massive pyramid, if it really existed, how could it not be visible?"

Xincheng chimed in from the side.

"Yes, judging from the size of Gorzan that appeared in Mongolia, the giant must have been at least 50 meters tall."

Something this huge should be quite conspicuous…

Horii added that, according to the time machine, the giants were capable of fighting monsters like Golza.

If they are the same size, then the giant must have been at least fifty meters tall.

How could a magnificent building capable of housing a 50-meter-tall giant not be visible?

"No, there is definitely something there..."

Masaki Keigo spoke up, and a signal indicating that the gravitational field was being distorted appeared on his PDI screen.

This indicates that space has been distorted...

Did it sense Daigo's arrival and thus appear from another spatial phase?
"follow me."

Masaki Keigo understood immediately. He leaped off the rock and took the lead in heading in a certain direction.

Although everyone had their doubts, they still followed.

After passing through a dense thicket and climbing over several jagged rocks, everyone was stunned by the sight before them and stood frozen in place.

A colossal pyramid stands prominently in the valley not far away.

The surface of this colossal pyramid is as smooth as a mirror, radiating a soft and holy golden light, as if it were formed from pure light particles.

The complex patterns, resembling the most sophisticated circuit boards, cover the tower. Under the shifting light, these patterns appear and disappear, exuding an indescribable sense of technology and mystery.

"My God... there really are pyramids?"

Horii's mouth was agape, big enough to fit an egg. He didn't even notice the detector in his hand falling to the ground; he was just staring blankly at the miracle before him.

Shinjo, Munakata, and the others were also stunned by this unimaginable sight, and for a moment they were speechless.

Daigo's feelings were stronger than anyone else's.

From the moment he stepped into the forest, a faint voice echoed in his mind, as if calling to him.

As they drew closer, the feeling of being called grew stronger.

Until they stood before the pyramid, he was certain that the thing calling him was inside the pyramid.

He reached out his hand, instinctively wanting to touch the smooth, mirror-like wall.

"Daigo, what are you doing?!"

Lina noticed his unusual behavior and quickly spoke up to remind him.

Technicians have not yet deciphered the structure of this pyramid, so touching it directly is far too dangerous!

But it's too late.

Daigo's outstretched hand passed through the seemingly solid golden wall without any hindrance.

Ripples spread across the wall surface like water, and the soft light enveloped his arm without causing any heat or discomfort.

Immediately afterwards, as if drawn by the light, his entire body leaned forward and sank completely into the wall, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"This boy!"

Xincheng was both anxious and angry. Impulsive by nature, he didn't have time to think and roared as he rushed in headfirst.

After a brief, dizzying sensation, as if passing through a curtain of water, Xincheng found himself in an even more magnificent space.

Then he was completely shocked by what he saw.

Three enormous stone statues stand side by side inside the pyramid.

Bathed in that golden light, the three stone statues appeared as majestic as gods...

"My God! There really are giants... there really are giants..."

Horii followed closely behind and entered the pyramid. When he saw the three towering giant stone statues, he also exclaimed in admiration.

He picked up the PDI, walked forward, and began collecting data and comparing it with the TPC's database.

The search results showed that the material used to construct the giant statue was not one they were familiar with...

"Can't you even find it on the periodic table?"

Looking at the scanned parameters, Horii's expression became increasingly incredulous.

The properties of this material are completely beyond what they observed...

At the same time, Masaki Keigo also took out his modified PDI and began scanning the three stone statues.

However, he compared it to his private database...

really……

Looking at the results displayed on the screen, a look of understanding flashed in Masaki Keigo's eyes.

The three giant stone statues are made of the same basic material as the two he found in Kumamoto.

However, according to the original story, Tiga has three forms: Composite, Power, and Sky, each displaying completely different abilities.

The giant he transforms into also possesses a completely different power system.

In other words, what truly determines Ultraman's abilities is not the composition of the stone statue that serves as the "container".

Rather, it is the "light" integrated into it, or rather, the characteristics and will of the person undergoing the transformation.

Just as everyone was still reeling from the shock, Vice Captain Munakata's PDI suddenly sounded an urgent alarm.

"Urgent communication from command center! Golza and Melba are moving at high speed toward the pyramids! They are expected to arrive in three minutes!"

Ye Rui's anxious voice came through the communicator.

"Everyone retreat! Leave the pyramid immediately!"

Zong Fang's expression instantly turned extremely solemn, and he decisively issued a loud order.

"But what about the giants?"

"What's the way to revive the giants? We haven't found it yet!"

Daigo snapped out of his shock and quickly said...

His ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger; the two monsters in the prophecy were definitely there to stop the giants from reviving!
"I don't know! The technical department hasn't deciphered the crucial last part of the time machine yet..."

The transportation department is already on its way; they will transport the machine over for on-site analysis.

Our mission is complete. Retreat immediately!

Zong Fang shook his head, his tone becoming sterner.

Due to historical reasons, their Flying Swallow was not equipped with weapons.

Staying here would be pointless for them, except to send them to their deaths...

"Damn it!" Daigo cursed under his breath, turning back to take a deep look at the three silent giant statues behind him, his eyes filled with resentment.

But he obeyed the order and turned to run out of the pyramid.

Even without weapons, even knowing it was futile, he still wanted to fight...

……

The atmosphere inside the cockpit of the Flying Swallow II was extremely oppressive.

Through the porthole, you could see a huge black shadow rapidly approaching on the distant horizon.

Its body was as heavy as a mountain, and every step it took made the earth groan with unbearable pressure.

The mountains at its feet are like fragile sandcastles, easily flattened and crushed.

"My God... this is terrifying."

Horii's face turned deathly pale; the monster actually looked far more terrifying than it appeared in the video.

Its massive body is over fifty meters tall and weighs tens of thousands of tons, approaching the weight of an aircraft carrier.

Even a simple movement can cause a terrifying force that can cause mountains to collapse and the earth to split open.

He had only ever seen monsters like this in Tsuburaya Productions' tokusatsu films...

"Is that... Golza?"

Xincheng gripped the control stick of Feiyan II tightly, his palms already covered in cold sweat.

He turned to look at Zong Fang behind him and asked in a dry voice:

"Commander, should we... launch an attack?"

"it's useless……"

"Our current Flying Swallow ships are not equipped with any weapon systems capable of fighting monsters..."

Zong Fang clenched his teeth, his nails almost digging into his flesh. His face was filled with resentment.

The TPC was established on the premise of abolishing global armed forces.

Therefore, the Victory Team, as a subordinate organization, strictly adhered to the principle of "demilitarization" in its initial equipment.

They were a rescue team, an investigation team, but they were not an army.

On the ground, Golza, who had already reached the pyramid, stopped in his tracks.

Its rock-rough head was slightly raised, and the single horn on its forehead began to gather a chilling purple light.

"Om-"

Space seemed to be distorted by an invisible force, emitting a piercing, mournful cry.

A thick stream of purple particles shot out from Golza's horn and struck the golden pyramid precisely.

There was no violent explosion, no deafening roar.

The pyramid, which radiated a sacred glow, seemed to be erased from its very source under this extremely destructive light. The light particles that made up its body rapidly decomposed and dissipated, turning into countless golden specks of light that drifted away into the distance.

At the same time, at the edge of the sky, another enormous figure burst forth.

It was a bird-like monster with huge wings. It was so fast that it left a long white sonic boom cloud behind it, tearing a shocking wound in the thick clouds.

"Melba... the monster that shattered the sky, Melba, has also arrived..."

Lina, sitting in the co-pilot's seat of the Flying Swallow II, gripped the control stick tightly, stabilizing the aircraft.

Their target is the giants!

Horii suddenly shouted,
"They want to destroy the giant's statue!"

As the Pyramid of Light dissipated, the three towering giant statues were exposed to the two monsters.

Golza and Melba, one on each side, walked heavily to the giant statue.

"Roar!"

Golza let out a deep roar, and its massive claws, as thick and powerful as those of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, swung out and slammed into the head of the giant stone statue on the left.

"Click——"

A crisp cracking sound rang out as the giant's head was instantly shattered into countless fragments. Then, his entire upper body collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust on the ground.

Meanwhile, Melba also launched an attack. With its sharp, raptor-like beak, it fiercely pecked at the chest of the giant statue on the right.

On the hard stone statue's surface, spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared, centered on the point of attack.

The cracks spread rapidly throughout the entire body at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, the huge stone statue shattered completely like broken glass with a crash, turning into a pile of cold stones.

Thirty million years of waiting proved utterly vulnerable under the monster's sharp claws and beak.

After doing all this, Golza slowly walked towards the last statue, the one in the center. It stretched out its huge claws and shoved it roughly.

"Boom——"

The last giant statue lost its balance and fell heavily backward, its massive body crashing to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

"Stop!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream came from the communication channel of another Flying Swallow No. 1.

That was Daigo's voice...

"That kid... he's not planning to attack, is he?"

Shinjo looked at the Flying Swallow No. 1, which had broken away from the formation and was resolutely charging towards the two monsters, and said in shock.

"Daigo, stop! It's no use! Come back! Daigo!!"

Zongfang shouted hoarsely into the communication channel, trying to stop Daigo's reckless, almost suicidal behavior.

The Flying Swallow No. 1 currently only has signal flares, and that kind of attack will only provoke the monsters and have no other effect!

But his cries were destined to be in vain.

Two faint streaks of fire shot out from beneath the wings of the Flying Swallow No. 1 aircraft not far away.

Two signal flares, trailing red smoke, traced an arc and struck Golza's back, which was as hard as a tortoise shell.

"Bang! Bang!"

The signal flare exploded, scattering two insignificant sparks, before extinguishing silently.

For Golza's massive body, this attack was nothing more than a tickle.

However, this obviously ineffective attack successfully attracted the attention of the two monsters.

They stopped destroying the last giant statue, slowly turned around, and fixed their cold gazes on the tiny fighter jet.

"Oh no! Quick! Get Daigo's support!!"

Upon seeing this, Zong Fang's heart tightened, and he immediately shouted an order.

Given the performance of the Flying Swallow No. 1 and Daigo's piloting skills, facing two monsters alone would be far too dangerous!
However, it was too late...

Melba let out a sharp cry in the sky, and its huge wings flapped violently.

In an instant, a fierce wind arose!

A terrifying storm, visible to the naked eye, swept out from its center, uprooting trees from the mountains, lifting them high into the air, and then tearing them to pieces by the violent air currents.

In this terrifying storm, the Flying Swallow No. 1 was like a small boat in a raging storm, violently rocking and barely maintaining the stability of its fuselage.

Melba did not miss this excellent opportunity. The crystal on its forehead suddenly lit up, and a blazing orange flame beam shot out, hitting the right wing of Flying Swallow No. 1 with lightning speed!

"boom--!"

The high-strength alloy wings melted rapidly like butter the moment they were hit, turning into a reddish liquid that dripped down.

Immediately afterwards, the entire wing broke off in the middle.

Having lost half a wing and an engine, the Flying Swallow 1 let out a mournful cry, like a bird with broken wings, trailing long plumes of black smoke and orange-red flames, as it spiraled uncontrollably down the mountainside below.

"hateful!!"

Inside the cockpit, Daigo gripped the control stick tightly amidst a violent impact.

He frantically pulled the switch for the emergency escape device, but the red warning light kept flashing and a piercing malfunction sound rang out—the ejection system had malfunctioned due to the attack and could not be activated!
The flames from the explosion had spread into the driver's cab, and the thick smoke choked him, making it hard to breathe. His consciousness was also gradually becoming blurred due to lack of oxygen.

"How could we... how could we give up here?!"

In Daigo's gradually blurring vision, the last thing he saw was the giant stone statue that Golza had pushed to the ground and buried in dust.

As if it were his last obsession, he subconsciously reached out his hand towards the stone statue.

Perhaps it was a response to his brave and passionate heart that never gave up, even in dire straits.

Light appeared.

A soft and warm light appeared out of thin air in the burning cockpit of the Flying Swallow No. 1.

The light quickly converged and condensed, transforming into a peculiar device with a silver handle that shimmered with a crystal-like luster in front of Daigo.

[Magic Wand]

"This is……?"

With his last ounce of strength, Daigo stretched out his trembling hand and gripped the device that had appeared out of nowhere tightly.

The moment he grasped the device, the top of the device, which resembled the armor on the chest of a giant stone statue, suddenly unfolded to the sides, releasing an incomparably dazzling light.

At that moment, Daigo's body was engulfed by light and decomposed into billions of shimmering light particles.

Immediately afterwards, these particles, shimmering with the light of hope, converged into a stream of light that broke through the burning cabin, shooting towards the crystal on the forehead of the fallen giant statue like an arrow traversing time and space.

Meanwhile, in the cockpit of another Flying Swallow No. 1, Masaki Keigo calmly observed all of this.

He did not intervene.

Because he knew that now was not the time.

Ultraman Tiga's revival is the first step this world takes toward the future.

The next moment, upon receiving Daigo's light, the stone statue lost its gray color.

The giant of light named Tiga has been resurrected...
