Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"That guy likes to hide in the dark, even when he talks, he prefers to talk in the shadows, so I haven't had much contact with him. But... we've known each other for so long, so if possible, I still hope he can get better."

The tanuki monster seemed to have suddenly opened a floodgate of words, confiding in Minamoto no Subaru:

"My lord, you don't know how pitiful Obik has been all these years. What he often does is sit on the hillside with his Shadow Mage's Pot, pointing at the city in front of him with his suona, and muttering softly, 'Look, that used to be the village's watchtower, that used to be the village's lake, and over there, that used to be the village's market...' He would mutter like that all night long, night after night..."

At this point, the tanuki monster couldn't help but sigh and whispered:

"It's really unbearable to watch, so I'll help him this time. No matter what happens afterward, I'll only help him this far."

"What do you mean?"

Subaru gleaned something from the tanuki spirit's words and asked, somewhat puzzled. The tanuki spirit pointed to the mountain next to the city and said softly:

"Tomorrow, human machines will be driven up the mountain, and that mountain will soon become a so-called amusement park. Although Obik can live in the darkness of any place, if this mountain, which he can call his home, also becomes something he is not familiar with, he probably will not be able to accept it no matter what."

The tanuki monster pulled out a pipe from somewhere, took a puff, and said helplessly:

"So, for Obik, tonight is pretty much the moment that will decide his fate. However, humanity's progress is unlikely to stop because of this, so..."

The tanuki monster suddenly spoke in a tone of disappointment and frustration, saying fiercely:

"I hope that tonight, humans can give that young master a good beating and bring him to his senses. Nothing stays the same forever. Just because a village has a different appearance doesn't mean it's no longer his village. Honestly, what an old stubborn fool."

"The city now is definitely not his village anymore."

Gen Subaru sighed. He couldn't help but think of Mikamicho. If TLT were to rebuild it now and revitalize it, it wouldn't be the Mikamicho he knew. What made up the past wasn't just the buildings and the name, but more importantly, the people who lived there.

"what happened?"

At that moment, Subaru sensed something, glanced at the hesitant tanuki demon beside him, and whispered:

"You seem to have something to say. Just say it. You're still alive, which means I don't care what you say."

"Hahaha... Well, it's quite unexpected."

The tanuki monster chuckled, scratched its head, and looked at Subaru Genji, saying softly:

"My clansmen say that you, sir, are a rather cold-blooded person and need to be treated with care. If they say the wrong thing, they might be in mortal danger. Now it seems that my clansmen are unreliable after all, hahahahaha!!!!"

"What is the origin of your clan?"

Hearing this, Gen Subaru became curious and asked, somewhat puzzled:

"I haven't been active in this world much, and even within TPC, only a minority know me. Your clansman... has he already risen to the upper echelons of humanity?"

"No, no, no, my people... with that half-baked illusion magic, they'd occasionally slip out while walking. How could such a guy possibly rise to the top of humanity? It's a prophecy, an old prophecy. In that prophecy, it was said that two incarnations of light would appear on Earth, one as gentle as a human, the other as majestic as a god. Now that I think about it, the latter is none other than you, sir."

488, let him see what's what.

"Elaborate."

Gen Subaru was surprised that such a prophecy existed on this earth, and immediately became interested. He sat up straight, waiting for the tanuki demon to continue. The tanuki demon didn't keep him in suspense and directly recounted its past—

Simply put, one of his people was in danger and on the verge of death when a mysterious being emerged from a nearby door and immediately drove away the terrifying enemy. Then, the mysterious being looked around, as if it had discovered something, and suddenly disappeared, running off into the distance. Not long after, it returned, muttering things like "we can't beat them," and "don't move around recklessly." Then, it seemed to see something from the future, leaving its people a message telling them to believe in the light, before pushing open the door again and leaving.

Then the tanuki monster was very curious and wanted to see what was going on with that door. He found that the door was completely rotten. With just a light touch, the door frame would fall down with a loud bang. So it was very strange that there was such a thing as being able to pass through a door.

Upon hearing this, Gen Subaru was taken aback. He had heard of this legend in Geed's world as well, but he didn't expect to hear it again in the TPC Earth universe. No, what kind of person is that? Regardless of the level of power that person possesses, the ability to open doors and run around is quite interesting.

And, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like this person is quite changeable... Oh well, I shouldn't think about these kinds of feelings anymore, it's pointless. If I have the chance to meet him in the future, I'll take it slow then.

“I remember what my tribesman said was terrifying.”

The tanuki monster chuckled and said, "They say that the majestic divine light will destroy everything except humans without hesitation, and will wield its greatsword against every force that opposes humans, creating one terrible massacre after another. Hahaha, that's a bit scary, but now that we're together, you're not so difficult to get along with, sir, are you? Hahahaha... sir?"

The tanuki monster was laughing at first, but as he laughed, he seemed to sense that something was wrong. He suddenly stopped laughing and asked in a low voice, barely able to contain himself. He was really afraid that if he said that, the adult would actually take action.

"There's nothing wrong with this prophecy."

Genjiro hadn't expected the prophecy from the legend of the gate to be so accurate. He had to admit, this was quite interesting. Looking at the terrified tanuki monster, Genjiro waved his hand and said softly:

“If this had happened before, no, if it had happened last night, you and Obik would both be dead. But I have changed a bit, so I can still communicate with you like this.”

Just then, the sound of suona horns in the city disappeared, leaving only terrified people. Gen Subaru heard it clearly, so he couldn't help but frown. He couldn't resist locking onto Obik, who was laughing loudly, and gave him two hard blows before suppressing his murderous intent. He looked at the tanuki monster beside him and said softly:

"Alright, I understand now. I will try my best to let Obik come to his senses on his own."

"My lord, there is something I should say, but it is not appropriate to say it."

"Where did you learn these idioms? You're using them all wrong."

Gen Subaru made a comment, then said softly:

"Just say it directly. I wouldn't go so far as to kill someone. My temper has improved a lot since then."

"My lord, you spoil humanity too much. This is not conducive to the progress of humanity, no, to be precise, it is not conducive to the growth of the other light."

The tanuki monster smacked its lips and said in a low voice:

"Although I don't have your strength, I'm an old man who's lived quite a long time and has some experience. My lord, you're going to spoil people. Maybe you should loosen your grip a little, otherwise, one day you might cause something that even you might not be able to handle."

"Let me think about it. And that's it, I'm leaving."

Gen Subaru waved his hand and left without saying anything more. He had also noticed what the tanuki monster had said. Even without the monster's reminder, he had plans for the future. He realized that his past interference with humans and his friends was indeed problematic, and he needed to find a way to adjust it.

Of course, this idea only applies to other universes. In the case of TLT Earth, we should continue to support it to the fullest extent. We can deal with other issues after they are able to protect themselves on their own.

Just as Gen Subaru was taking action, in the city, the members of the Victory Team sat panting on a park bench, looking at each other helplessly. They had already run around the city several times, and it felt like they had been made a fool of.

As the sun was about to set, its afterglow bathed Daigo Madoka. He was intently looking at the photo he had received from Rena. In the Polaroid photo, Obik was showing a pained expression due to the bright light emitted during the photo-taking process. Daigo couldn't understand why Obik would endure the pain caused by the bright light to keep this photo. Why would someone who was afraid of sunlight continue to cause trouble during the day?

"It's getting dark! It's going to get dark!"

Ok? !

Just then, Daigo Madoka heard a sound and turned around to see pedestrians rushing home because night was about to fall. At this time, not only the pedestrians here, but people all over the city were running home in fear. Even the nightclubs did not intend to continue operating. The neon lights had been turned off, and some even left their stalls on the street without packing them up. The stall owners had already run home.

Looking at the pedestrians and the fear on their faces, Daigo Madoka seemed to understand something completely. He looked at Commander Munakata and said softly:

"Commander, Obik, the goal is to plunge this city into complete darkness."

"Ah, this is a troublesome matter. I have an idea now. Now that Obik's plan has succeeded, he should be next to his pot by now."

Commander Munakata stretched his body, gestured to the members of the Victory Team, and said softly:

"Let's go get the weapons and show that Obik guy a thing or two!"

489 Obik, who sought death

Zongfang's idea was simple: since the well and Obik's pot were connected, they launched fireworks directly at the dry well as night fell. With a series of sharp screechs, the Victory Team members saw the launched fireworks rise and explode in the mountains. Without a doubt, that was Obik's current location.

The GUTS team immediately sprang into action, heading towards the mountains. As they traveled, Daigo Madoka noticed something and slowed his pace, focusing intently on the side of the road. He saw a sign by the roadside announcing the construction of a health park. In that instant, Daigo Madoka understood something—he realized that this mountain was about to become a thing of the past…

Then, Daigo Madoka regained his composure and followed the team members, continuing towards Obik's location. When they arrived, they saw Obik standing on the hillside, clutching his pot, staring blankly at the city shrouded in darkness, muttering to himself in a daze:

"That...it's exactly the same as before, just as dark...look!"

Obik suddenly turned around excitedly, pointed at the dark city, looked joyfully at the Victory Team members behind him, and shouted loudly:

"That's what the village nights used to be like! The old village is back... the old village is back again! Ahahaha!!!"

Hearing Obik's heartfelt joy, the Victory Team members, who had been pointing their guns at him, exchanged bewildered glances for a moment. They eventually lowered their weapons, watching Obik dance with glee and listening to his delighted voice:

"That...that's the village's watchtower over there! There's a clear little river, and on the other side of the river is a lotus pond...The village is back! The village is back! Haha, the old village is back, back, back, all back, the old village is back... Hahaha!!!"

Obik was overjoyed. He had never been so happy in all these years. He hugged the pot and gently patted the lid with his hands, as if he were drumming, dancing a dance of unknown origin, expressing the joy in his heart.

"Obik!"

But Daigo's voice interrupted Obik's joy. Daigo looked sadly at the monster who seemed to be finally returning home, and said softly:

"That's not the village we used to live in...and there's no village like it anymore."

"You're lying to me."

Obik retorted without hesitation, his still-smiling eyes seeming to mock Daigo, and shouted:

“I can see the villages from before.”

"The old village has long since disappeared!"

Madoka's voice rose slightly, then quickly subsided. He took two steps forward, extended his hand, and said softly:

"Come with me, I'll find you a quiet place to stay, I'm sure I can find one!"

"I don't want it!"

This time, after listening to Daigo Madoka's words, Obik seemed to finally realize something. A slight sob rose in his voice as he sadly turned his head, gazing deeply at the dark city, and cried out in despair, unable to accept it:

"If... if this isn't the village I used to live in, if it's not the village I used to live in... then I'll destroy this place!"

After saying this, Obik, whose face was already covered in tears, let out a shrill howl and transformed into a giant monster.

"What a pity, they still couldn't wake up in the end?"

The gigantic Obik was patting his chest and making a child-like cry when suddenly an invisible force struck him, slamming him to the ground. The GUTS team members turned to look and saw Subaru slowly emerging from the dark forest, the Evolution Trustee glowing in his hand.

"In that case, we can only..."

"Senior Gen Subaru!"

Just as Subaru was about to transform into Nexus and deal with Obik, Daigo Madoka rushed over, grabbed Subaru's wrist, and said in a pleading tone:

"Let's try again. Obik just hasn't accepted it yet. Let me try to persuade him again!"
