Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

"Well, it's good to listen to guidance from seniors, but sometimes you can also be flexible..."

Hilbargon turned into an ice sculpture after only two groans. Daigo knew how to be flexible, but brain reaction and physical action are two different things.

Meanwhile, the short man was being forced to defend himself by the giant controlled by Masaki Keigo.

As the light swept across, the blinding torrent transformed the already scorching sea of ​​fire into an even more suffocating sauna. The short man cursed Hilbargon inwardly, thinking how useless that monster was. He'd wasted so much energy raising it and creating this inferno so it could constantly see its opponents through the rising steam, and yet it still lost!

With a "boom," it was blasted into a rolling firework by Ultraman Tiga!

It's a beautiful, deep blue!

"Wait, blue... this is!" The moment the short man saw the drifting light particles, he felt every hair on his body scream "danger!" and try to leave him.

The next second, Daigo and Masaki Keigo were forced to "enjoy" a spectacle of an alien cursing: "Damn it, you even schemed against me! I misjudged you, you thing whose whole family died and was fed to monsters, experimental subjects, and amoebas! Kirieloid God will not let you get away with this! I should have—ooh!"

Masaki Keigo also sent him a beam of light, and the short man screamed in agony, soon following in the footsteps of Hilbargon.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, he did not die on the spot, but was de-giantened and appeared in the same place as a human child.

This is the body he stole. The original owner was indeed a young child in elementary school who was recorded in TPC's file due to a missing person case that was suspected to be related to aliens.

Before Daigo could speak, Masaki Keigo had already stepped down, the short man coldly welcoming the arrival of eternal sleep.

“That child is dead,” Soruka comforted him. “The Kirielod used his body to grow to gigantic size, and his life force was exhausted at that time—few people can adapt to the energy shock of gigantification, and he was obviously not one of them.”

"How do you know you didn't?" Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone in the command center, Tiga, after his brief victory, immediately adopted a hostile stance towards another Titan. Daigo angrily said, "This Titan... I don't know who controlled the body of your former comrade, and he didn't even try to make amends! At the very least, even if it's difficult, you can't just trample on him like that!"

In the distance, inside the spire.

When Tiga destroyed Silvergon, the beam of light he used pushed outward into a visible storm. The rampant flames were flattened by the wind pressure, and the howling wind carried fine blue particles across the entire magical realm, like the first snow of winter drifting by.

The wool coat seemed to laugh loudly in the wind.

His exceptional hearing caught the short man's angry curses, and his keen eyesight saw the short man's final, cold laugh—it was directed at him.

The short man also saw his smile and returned the same expression. In his final moments, he composed himself and finally showed some semblance of the mannerisms expected of a Kirieloid.

"The final experiment is over." The man in the wool coat laughed for a while, then finally took a deep breath and calmly stated.

“Satan has escaped his hell, and his evil claws have reached into the human world. Only the great God—Kirieloid—can save humanity.”

Chapter 157 Where Are You Going?

"The ouroboros, whose basic logic is 'infinity,' is depicted in some places as half light and half darkness. In the realm of alchemy, it is interpreted as 'fusion and opposition,' 'origin and demise.'"

"It sounds impressive, but..." After listening to Sato Takuma's explanation, Munakata pointed to the wooden post that had appeared by the roadside for the third time and said, "This is why we keep driving forward but keep going in circles?"

"Maybe." Sato turned off the engine and got out of the car. He kicked the wooden stake to make sure it was real and not some kind of illusion. Feeling the throbbing pain in his toe, he said wistfully, "I believe in science."

“But you looked like a charlatan just now.” Xincheng climbed out of the back of the car when it stopped. The PDI was still working, but strangely, no matter where he went, the coordinates displayed on it didn’t change at all.

"Sigh..." Sato sighed and opened the communication with the forward command center: "Sir, bad news, we're 'lost'. The only thing we can be sure of is that we haven't evacuated from the Demon Realm yet."

"The troops have been assembled," said Tetsuji Yoshioka.

"Then you're going to just order the firing? I think we might have entered some other dimension. Even if you use artillery to wash the Demon Realm inside and out three times, we'll still be stuck in the same place."

A cold snort came from the other end of the communication. Tetsuji Yoshioka didn't say anything, but Sato had already closed the communication with satisfaction.

"The sir is willing to give us some time, until we get out," he said, finding the most distinctive head among the throng of heads: "Horie, Horii! It's time to use your clever brain to come up with a solution!"

The crowd parted, revealing Horii's furrowed face: "I also want to find a solution quickly, but things like 'Ouroboros' and 'being trapped in a maze'... I believe in science too."

The Victory Team's escape route was blocked by an unknown force, while in a slightly farther place, the people engaged in battle had already separated.

They do have

They were a little tired, but that wasn't the reason they were willing to let their opponents go—the impetus that made them temporarily stop came from the battlefield between giants and monsters, where Silvergon crashed down, and azure particles hung like a galaxy.

Fujisawa Sosuke and Tsune Aya stopped what they were doing at the same time. They looked toward the source of the particles. The fire gradually died down, and the dark shadows of the trees were worn into ash by the wind. The smell of charcoal and resin filled the air. Several strange animals that had survived waved their limbs, desperately trying to dig a hole to hide in.

"I want to find it." This thought arose in both of their minds at the same time, and they looked at each other warily. They saw a similar desire in each other's eyes, and then they faced off again.

"Just because I let you go twice doesn't mean I have a good temper," said Tsuneyuu Ayaka. "If you try to steal my food, I will definitely kill you!"

"Stop trying to glorify yourself, you idiot. It was my quick escape that you let me go on purpose," Fujisawa Sousuke cursed. "If you want to go and get killed by the Titans, go by yourself. I'm taking my companions with me. You'd better order your men not to make a move, or even if you look just like her, I'll fight you to the death!"

"If you mention again that I look like a lizard, I'll fight you to the death!" Tiao Yuexuansha, her anger rising, threw all the "demeanor" and "elegance" she had cultivated over the years to the winds: "You really think you can mistake the lackeys of the Kirieloids for allies? Don't forget who turned you into this! You should be fighting alongside me against this enemy, not risking your life for them!"

Fujisawa Sosuke suddenly turned his face. Of all his bodies, only his eyes were still somewhat human, but even those bloodshot eyes were enough to instill fear: "So you're working for the Naga?"

Tsukishiro Ayase didn't continue. She could exchange a few words out of consideration for the fact that the other party was "of the same kind," but it wouldn't go so far as to reveal the entire temporary cooperation with the Naga and the New Human Project. Therefore, when faced with Sosuke's questioning, she remained silent, which was taken as an admission.

In Sōsuke's eyes, this "kindred spirit" who worked for the Naga who kidnapped Aya Kamimura and her TPC colleagues was no good. Sōsuke would only listen to what she said and would have to think about whether to believe it later.

“You have no right to criticize me,” Cangjie said coldly.

Before Tsuneya could speak, a sudden sense of crisis surged from the depths of every cell in her body, and Sosuke stopped talking and looked up at the sky.

"What is that?" Paradia tilted her head back.

The dinosaur-woman Yiwu stopped moving, and a voice urged her to leave as soon as possible. She didn't want to simply run away, so she mustered her courage and looked towards the source of her fear—the darkness before her.

The scorching red sky vanished, leaving only a blinding horizon. The dreamlike rainbow, stars, and moon woven by Sylvagon disappeared, and the night sky that existed outside the Demon Realm itself vanished as well.

The next moment, Yi Wu suddenly realized that they were being covered up.

Above her was not only darkness, but also a massive shadow. It blended into the night, making it seem as if the clouds were so thick that they obscured all the scenery in the sky.

"Let's go!" Amyi called to Paratia.

"Stop spacing out!" Adam pulled Iwu up.

The shadow grew heavier, and a more violent wind, stirred up by the flow of light, finally reached their ears. Those looking up from the ground realized that the shadow was descending much faster than it appeared, so fast that the sound was left behind.

Tsukishiro Ayaka felt her legs were out of control. Her brain ordered her to retreat, but her legs remained rooted to the spot, much like a domestic fowl that had been utterly terrified after witnessing its companion being swiftly cut down.

She didn't want anyone to see her in this embarrassing state, so she subconsciously looked at Sosuke. The latter was in a similar situation; at least Ayaka turned her head, while Sosuke stood completely frozen like a statue.

“The tomb keeper…” Sosuke opened his mouth, but the wind lifted his hood, which was caught by the bone horn on his head.

The shadow drew closer and closer, so close that he could clearly distinguish every single scale on it, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.

The shadow peeked out, then lowered its head. Sōsuke suddenly realized that the other party must have come to find him.

I came here specifically to see him.

"How could this be?" This almost absurd thought brought him to his senses. He checked his direction and turned to run towards the place where he had separated from Paradia and Amui.

He completely forgot that his "kindred spirit" who had fled to the Naga was still watching him with predatory eyes; in fact, it was already quite an achievement for him to be able to move at all.

His body was involuntarily trying to strike, like a mouse seeing a cat, or running into the homeroom teacher while copying homework, or bumping into his boss while slacking off.

The shadow seemed to have truly locked onto him; the ground trembled, the wind was so strong it was hard to open one's eyes, and the black robe was fluttering wildly.

The scorching heat drew near.

He heard the scales open and close, and extremely heavy footsteps moving towards him.

He heard Ayaka's short, low gasp; she probably thought she was doomed.

More footsteps approached; perhaps it was a giant, or perhaps an alien.

Sosuke ran forward with his head down, not remembering whether he had gone the wrong way or where Paradia and the others were.

He desperately wanted to see familiar people or things, which would calm him down and soothe his surging unease.

He heard a sigh.

"Where are you going?" a voice that was both strange and familiar asked.

The running man suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and slowly turned around.

The night and the scorched earth blended together strangely, the embers still burning, countless sparks flickering in the darkness.

A huge shadow loomed before him, and golden eyes peered in. He could see his own reflection in the other's eyes.

The clouds parted to reveal the moon.

At that moment, he seemed to smell the scent of seawater and ice again, on this scorched earth, in the winter of several years ago, on the vast Bering Sea.

Chapter 158 Returning to the Team

Fujisawa Sousuke recognized him.

These eyes have appeared beneath the icy ocean, where they have stirred up warm currents to lift those about to drown or freeze to death. They have also appeared on the white sandy beach, where a monster named Ligadron damaged the Flying Swallow 1.

Sōsuke felt he had seen him in another location—Halloween night.

Although the figure that came into view at the time was not tens of meters tall, Sosuke instinctively felt that it was him.

However, intuition is never reliable, and Sosuke even guessed that the "magnet god" was actually the captain!

He wasn't one to beat around the bush, so he decided to ask directly.

"Halloween..." He started to speak but then stopped himself.

"This voice is awful," he thought. "How could Fujisawa Sosuke have turned into a monster?" The sudden surge of appetite terrified him. What if he went berserk and tried to chew on his teammates when he got back to TPC? Gnawing on innocent medical equipment wouldn't be good either!

He heard another sigh.

Then came a beam of light—a flowing silver light that shone through the gaps beneath each of the monster's scales, like the first ray of light piercing through the dark clouds after rain. Sosuke was first stunned, then involuntarily gaped open.

The opponent's wings folded and gradually disappeared behind it, and its crouching body visibly shrank, revealing a humanoid shape in the light.

The light faded, and the humanoid shadow slowly approached. Sharp claws hung at its sides, just like his; a long, thin tail dragged on the ground, making a metallic scraping sound, just like his; as it drew closer, Sosuke could see the bony horns on its head, just like his!

He looked remarkably like his current self! Sosuke was stunned. Although he didn't like his current appearance, he was still bothered by it. Paradia carefully removed all the mirrors to avoid upsetting him, so Sosuke had to look at himself in any reflective object he could find, and finally he had a vague impression of his current appearance.
