Ultraman: Because I am Gatanothor

The crowd remained stunned for a long time.

When they first saw Ultraman Tiga in person, they thought they were incredibly lucky. But they never expected that one day they would actually hear Ultraman Tiga speak.

This is this...

"Although it's somewhat reasonable for Ultraman Tiga to speak, it still feels unreal. Who pees yellow? Spray me with it!"

"Let me do that. I'm diabetic, I'll wake you up!"

"Bullshit! You've already been healed by Ultraman Tiga's light, so how could you possibly have diabetes now!"

"You don't understand, do you? My body has been cured, but my allantoic fluid still contains urine containing diabetic toxins!"

"I always feel that when Ultraman speaks, something big must have happened!"

"It wasn't just my imagination. I also sensed some strange changes in the world, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I felt a sense of disgust, yet my mind was filled with anticipation..."

Immediately, everyone in the shelter started talking about it.

Fengdu and his team had already piloted their fighter jets back to the command center.

Everyone gathered at the boarding gate.

Munakata looked at Daigo; there were only members of their GUTS team around them, no one else.

"Daigo, do you want humanity to never give up hope?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that.

Daigo nodded, lined up with the others, and walked towards the command room carrying his helmet.

"Yes, the Zigera incident is something I can't handle alone. If humanity doesn't make an effort, even if I burn its entire body, the roots that are embedded in human desires will still grow back!"

Even if he were to kill the original body now and turn it into soup to drink, it would be useless.

It will continue to grow as it should.

Horii asked, "Daigo, is it possible to temporarily eliminate it? That way, its pollen won't be able to spread throughout the world for the time being."

He glanced at the busy figures in the distance and gave a wry smile, "Ultraman did this in the ancient times too!"

But it has no effect at all. Now that you have burned the main body, the Zijera flowers growing in other areas are not affected at all because they are nourished by the fertile soil of human desire, since they are already considered as independent plants.

Even if the original plant dies, the other plants will quickly grow into new, enormous plants!

This is what makes Zijra so troublesome.

"I see!" Zongfang, the leader at the front, slowed his pace slightly upon hearing Daigu's words.

"After much thought, it seems that this matter truly can only be resolved by us humans ourselves!"

This statement made everyone start to think: could they really be confident in their own people?

The atmosphere gradually became oppressive.

Back in the command room, everyone sat in their seats, showing no joy whatsoever for having won two major victories.

Director Yoshitsugu and Dr. Mizuno had already left the command room.

Only Megumi and two others remained, along with Director Sawai.

Seeing his teammates looking dejected, Director Sawai forced a smile and said, "Let's put the Qi Jiela matter aside for now. I doubt any of you are in the mood for sleep anyway!"

Upon hearing this, Fengdu immediately raised his hand.

"I!"

"I'm in the mood to sleep!"

Everyone ignored him and looked at Director Sawai.

He seemed not to have seen Feng Du at all, and then asked, "Then tell me about what you've gained today!"

Seeing that no one said anything, Megumi took the lead and said, "We went to the zoo and had a lot of fun. I thought that many people would smile less when faced with the threat of monsters."

She chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Turns out I was wrong, those people were all very happy!"

"Yes!"

Zongfang rested his hands behind his head, leaned back in his chair, and looked at the soft glow of the incandescent light.

He continued, "Before today, I shared the same thought as the captain: people must be living in great pain or fear."

Or it could be actively hoarding supplies.

Or they just look lifeless, like a salted fish, as if they've given up on trying.

"But to my surprise, they were all very optimistic, as if the monster didn't exist!"

Xincheng shook his head and denied it, saying, "I think it's probably because we've gotten used to it. We all know that humans are highly adaptable creatures. Even if we can't adapt to the environment, we will modify the environment to adapt to ourselves."

This time, Horii unusually did not contradict Shinjo.

“That’s right. And, Big Gulina, you’ve protected humanity so well. The most dangerous battle was the one with Galactron last time.”

At other times, humans rarely witness disasters.

People all over the world see monster sightings on television or social media, and then they're defeated by Ultraman!

These words left Daigo and Rena somewhat melancholy.

“It’s not Daigo’s fault!” Megumi said, shaking her head.

It is inherently contradictory to make humans confront monsters and to protect humans from monsters.

Fengdu suggested, "Why don't we go back to sleep? We need to be well-rested so we can better prepare for tomorrow!"

Unfortunately, no one listened to him, which made him somewhat embarrassed.

Looking at the demoralized crowd, the director smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know if you've noticed, but we humans aren't as weak as we imagine!"

Hearing these different words, everyone's hearts were stirred.

"Ji Gang and I went to the city today and met a very nice old lady!"

Fengdu: "..."

Nobody's paying attention to me, I'm unhappy and depressed!

￣へ￣

"She said something that really benefited me!"

"What are you saying?" Horii asked curiously.

The director didn't hold back, and he said, "She said that there is a brilliance in people's hearts that is brighter than the sky, and if you don't give up until the very last moment, a miracle will definitely happen!"

He added the last sentence.

"Huh?!" Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

They were all a little confused. They understood the meaning of the sentence, and could even come up with different versions of it.

The question is, how exactly did this statement benefit the director?

Seeing that they were upset, the director didn't say anything more.

He knew what they were thinking.

Just like the phrase "protecting the homeland and defending the country".

Everyone knows this saying, but when you look back at it at eight, eighteen, or twenty-eight years old...

You will have different insights.

I used to think that protecting my country was cool, and that it was to win the envious glances of those around me.

After experiencing some things, when you look back at this sentence, you will realize that protecting your country and your home is your true thought. You want to protect everyone and prevent them from being harmed!

When I get old and look back on this sentence, it will ultimately have only one meaning: these four words will be my lifelong belief.

And I'm willing to give everything for it!

Although the current Victory Team members are all elites, they are still too young and haven't experienced the harsh realities of life, so they can't understand the meaning behind the old woman's words.

As she pondered, Director Sawai suddenly thought that if that sentence had been paired with a dramatic background story, would it have been even more effective?

……

In space, the Losmus is still on its return journey.

Jin Shirosaki and Susumu Hayata have already gone to rest; only Kiyohiro Inui is on duty.

He looked out the window at the pitch-black universe. Although stars shone, it remained so silent and dark.

On the platform next to them were photos of the three of them.

"Xincheng... I wonder if I'll even be alive to attend your wedding!" he sighed.

One of the Lomus's engines has been damaged, and it is now powered by only one engine.

Could such a spacecraft survive until it reaches Earth?

He wasn't confident at all!

Moreover, it seems that Sphia is desperately trying to prevent them from going back and reporting the news.
