Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"Um, are you the... Mr. Child who helped us back then?"

Compared to the members of the Elite GUTS team, Shizuma Yuuna felt the voice was somewhat familiar and tentatively inquired. At this moment, Genji Subaru completely removed his disguise and said with a soft laugh:

"Mr. Kid, that's quite an interesting title. But I can't quite remember if I introduced myself to you before, so let me say it again here. My name is Gen Subaru, and I am Ultraman Nexus. It's nice to meet you."

"Nexus!!!"

Upon hearing this, Ignis, who was lying on the ground and looked like he was in a coma, suddenly jumped up, his eyes wide open, staring at Gen Subaru.

Nexus....

This name was not unfamiliar to the elite members of the Victory Team present. They had collected ancient relics and deciphered some information from those stone tablets, including information about Urija and Nexus.

Furthermore, compared to Triga's few words, Nexus is mentioned extensively in the records of the ancient humans, who used the most praise to describe this giant of light who descended from the sky and fought alongside Yusa Rei, the leader of the Earth Defense Force at that time. Many murals related to him were also left behind, which is why the people of Earth today were able to find out his true identity not long after they last saw Nexus.

“Ignis, you bastard…”

Seeing that the cosmic treasure hunter seemed to be trying to get close to Nexus, the members of the elite GUTS team wanted to capture him and lock him back in the solitary confinement cell. However, Genji waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to worry about it. It would be a real joke if he were ambushed by this alien.

"It seems like you have something to say to me."

Gen Subaru looked at Ignis, whose expression was unusually complicated, and gently clapped his hands. He activated his light energy, creating a separate space for the two of them to be alone. Gen Subaru also felt that this familiar alien might want to talk about some things from the past. If it was about his own dark history, then things would be rather unpleasant.

"I'm sorry, I'm really... I'm so sorry..."

However, to Gen Subaru's surprise, the moment the space was created, this alien knelt down in front of him, speaking in a deeply apologetic tone, almost on the verge of tears:

"Back then... I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. You were the one who saved us... but I... but... I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

what?

Ah? ?

Ah? ? ?

Although this alien cried sincerely, and it was clear he felt incredibly guilty and hadn't been able to let go of it all these years, I really couldn't remember...

Yuan Mao frowned slightly, beginning to think seriously. While recalling the past, he also began to analyze his current situation. Generally speaking, the loss of emotions shouldn't have led to this state...

Just then, Ignis was crying so hard that he didn't give Subaru a chance to interrupt. And judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be crying about the things he did back then. It seemed that he was venting all the emotions that had accumulated over the years. So Subaru took this opportunity to distract himself and think about other things.

Ignis was indeed very sad. He was a Lishurian alien who, although he looked no different from an Earthling at first glance, had stronger physical abilities and some superpowers than Earthlings.

Although he claims to be a treasure hunter who travels the galaxy to obtain the finest treasures, he carries with him many strange and unusual items collected from various planets in the universe.

However, Ignis wanders the universe not only to collect various treasures, but also to track down the culprit who almost destroyed his home planet a hundred years ago—Hitram—and to seek the power that would allow him to take revenge.

Of course, he was searching for Nexus's whereabouts, wanting to apologize for his emotional outburst back then. When Genjiro appeared to assist in the battle last time, Ignis recognized him at a glance, knowing that he had finally found the person.

'What's the use of you coming now?!'

'They're all dead, they've all been eaten, why couldn't you have come sooner... Waaaaah....'

At this moment, Gen Subaru also recalled some memories. When he was chasing Noah Greeza, there did seem to be such an incident. Therefore, he looked at Ignis and said softly:

“I understand. Although I was a little annoyed at the time, it’s been so long, let’s just let it go… No, come on, stand up straight, let me punch you. I was fine when I didn’t think about it, but the more I think about it, the angrier I get. You’re not from Earth, why should I put up with you? Come on, stand up straight, I’m going to punch you once. After this punch, this matter will be completely over.”

336 Triga - Light is the Bond

Gen Subaru's punch naturally landed on Ignis. Of course, Gen Subaru held back his strength in this punch. Although this guy was an alien, he looked like he was just a petty thief, not someone who should be beaten to death.

But Ignis did not stop crying, and cried even more bitterly. There could be many reasons for this, but the possibility that being beaten to tears by Genjiro was probably one of them.

After delivering the final punch, Subaru dispelled the barrier and returned to reality. Looking at the elite GUTS members standing around him, he casually waved and said softly:

"Don't crowd around here. You all probably have a lot to do right now. Let this team member talk to me. The rest of you can go about your business."

After Gen Subaru said this, the members of the Elite Victory Team looked at each other and finally followed his instructions. They left Shizuma Yuina, who was designated as the leader, and dragged the still crying Ignis away. Afterwards, Shizuma Yuina sat down in front of Gen Subaru with some nervousness. It was clear that she was nervously organizing her thoughts, trying to figure out which question to ask to break the current somewhat dull atmosphere.

I just didn't expect...

"You seem to know nothing."

Gen Subaru sized up this young lady who had inherited Yusa Rei's bloodline and successfully achieved a natural reversion to her ancestral form. After hesitating for a moment, he said softly:

“Since Yusa Lei didn’t tell you, I won’t presume to do it for you. Miss Shizuma, please get some more sleep.”

"Wait, what are you going to say...?"

In fact, Shizuma Yuuna was aware of her own strangeness. She would often experience short clips at crucial moments, inexplicably losing a segment of her memory. This was undoubtedly abnormal, but the people around her seemed to know what was going on, yet they wouldn't tell her. This really frustrated Shizuma Yuuna.

Now, this seemingly well-informed big shot has suddenly started cryptic, causing Shizuma Yuuna to anxiously try to stop him. Unfortunately, she was too slow; Gen Subaru had already unleashed his light energy, putting him into a deep sleep.

However, Yuan Mao did not force Yu Sha Lei to get up. He figured his old friend had been under a lot of pressure lately, so he decided to let her take a good rest. With him here to oversee things, there wouldn't be any major problems.

Then, Subaru Genji turned his gaze to Kengo Manaka, paused for a moment, closed his eyes and then opened them again, a faint light shining in his pupils. Ultra psychic power surged out and landed on Kengo Manaka.

"Don't cry, don't cry, look, the balloon is over there."

As soon as Gen Subaru entered Kengo Shinnaka's dream, he saw the guy squatting to the side, holding a balloon in one hand and patting the head of a little boy next to him with the other, comforting the crying child and saying with a smile:

"Smailo Smailo, remember to smile often!"

"Yes, thank you, Uncle. I will!"

Seeing his balloon returned, the little boy smiled and nodded at Kenjiro, then happily took the balloon and skipped off to play with his friends, leaving Kenjiro with a subtle expression, scratching the back of his neck and saying helplessly:

"I'm not mature enough to be called 'uncle' yet..."

"This is your dream, the place where your subconscious gathers. Since that little kid called you that, you must feel like an old man yourself."

? !

Upon hearing Minamoto no Subaru's words, Kensuke Shinichi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly turned around and saw Minamoto no Subaru walking over unhurriedly, sitting down beside him, patting the empty seat next to him, and whispering to him:

"Sit down, Ultraman Triga. There are some things I think we need to talk about."

"You...you are..."

Kengoku looked at Subaru and was momentarily stunned. The energy emanating from the child made him both afraid and want to get close, causing him great inner turmoil. Subaru didn't say much, but just looked at the children laughing and playing in the park not far away, and leaned back on the chair, looking relaxed and carefree.

"You must be Ultraman Nexus."

Ultimately, the affection in his heart overcame the instinctive fear, and Kensuke Shinnaka sat down beside Subaru Minamoto, tentatively asking in a low voice:

"I didn't expect you to look like this. I'm quite shocked."

“These are all trivial matters, Kenshin, can you tell me why you like ‘Smailo’ so much?”

Subaru turned his gaze back to Kengo Shinnaka and said in a calm tone:

"To be honest, when you talk about Smail, it sounds particularly mesmerizing, but I can also sense that you genuinely want everyone to laugh. So, why do you have such an idea?"

"Ah... well... how should I put it...?"

Kengo Shinichi scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed as he looked at the children in the park and said:

"I think a smile is the best gift that everyone can give to others. If someone you like smiles, you'll be happy too. A smile can inspire more smiles. That's why I say it so often, over and over again, smile~~ smile. I will keep working hard so that more people can smile."

"That's a fine ambition. I never expected you to have such thoughts now."

This is where Kengo Shinnaka's subconscious resides, so Subaru can clearly perceive that what he just said was Kengo Shinnaka's heartfelt thought, which makes him smile knowingly.

However, the conversation was not over yet. Genjiro waved his hand casually, and his powerful Ultra psychic power changed the image in Kenjiro Manaka's subconscious, transforming it into a vast galaxy. Kenjiro Manaka looked to his left and right in surprise and saw Genjiro, who had been sitting next to him, appear in front of him. He and Genjiro were sitting on a desolate planet, with a blue planet in the middle, slowly rotating.

"Shinaka Kengo, do you think you are now, Ultraman or human?"

"what?"

Kenshin hadn't expected Subaru to ask this. He blinked blankly for a moment, then said softly:

"Of course I am human. Although I can transform into Triga to fight now, I am still Shinjū Kenshin."

"What if...that's the truth?"

Gen Subaru smiled and turned his gaze to the blue planet between them. Kensuke Shinichi also looked over subconsciously, and then he saw the arrival of the dark giants, destroying the civilization on that planet.

In a short period of time, they destroyed most of the human cities, causing massacre after massacre. Just when the remaining human survivors were on the verge of death, the giant of light, Nexus, suddenly appeared and engaged them in fierce battle. After several battles, the dark giants were defeated. Among them, the most powerful dark giant emitted a bright light and disappeared...

"That...that's Triga?"

Kengo Shinnaka's eyes widened. He hadn't expected that Triga had such a history, causing such a terrible disaster to Earth. He subconsciously looked at Subaru, about to say something, when suddenly, Kengo Shinnaka's gaze sharpened, and he involuntarily gripped his head tightly with both hands, letting out a painful growl.

Subaru made no move in response, simply sitting there quietly, watching Kensuke Masaka writhe in agony on the spot. After a short while, Kensuke regained his composure, raised his head, covered in sweat, looked at Subaru, and said with bloodshot eyes:

"I...I am Triga..."

“Truly enlightened swordsman, tell me.”

Gen Subaru didn't respond to him, but continued speaking slowly and deliberately:

"Now, do you consider yourself Ultraman or a human?"

"I...I...I..."

Kengoku looked into Subaru's eyes, his lips trembling slightly. The words, "I am human," roared in his heart, but when they reached his lips, he involuntarily swallowed them back.

"I...I could never do such a thing, Triga...I won't take away a human's smile!"

"Calm down, don't be nervous."

With a flick of his wrist, Gen Subaru lifted Kengo Shinaka, who was lying on the planet, and put him back in his seat. Just then, Kengo Shinaka noticed that in the blink of an eye, he and Gen Subaru were back on the park bench. This unpredictable move truly shocked Kengo Shinaka.
