Ultraman Tiga: Infinite Evolution Starting with Golza

"What?! Golza has reappeared?!"

Inside the Victory Team's command room at TPC Far East Headquarters.

Daigo and the others, who had just returned to the base, were still talking about their recent combat experience when they received news that Golza had reappeared at the pyramid ruins.

Daigo immediately picked up his helmet and got up to go provide support.

Although he didn't know why he had transformed into a giant, he knew very well that without the power of a giant, it would be difficult to deal with a monster like Golza!

Munakata looked at Captain Iruma Megumi, but Iruma Megumi frowned slightly. "Our plane is not a combat aircraft and is not equipped with weapons. Even if we get to the scene, we probably won't be able to deal with the monster Golza."

"But we can't just ignore it!" Daigo said anxiously.

Zongfang thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Immediately apply to the higher-ups for combat modifications to our aircraft. Until then, pilot the Victory Swallow No. 1 and use signal flares to harass and contain the monsters!"

Daigo immediately exclaimed, "I'll go!"

"Then I'll go with Daigo," Rena said, glancing at Daigo.

However, Shinjo stepped forward at this moment, "Let the men handle this dangerous matter. I'll go with Daigo!"

Lina blinked twice, looking a little confused.

Before she could say anything, Megumi Kijima made the decision: "Okay, then Daigo and Shinjo will pilot the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 to harass and contain Golza."

"Vice Captain Munakata and I will immediately go to see Director Sawai and request combat modifications to the aircraft!"

Just as the group was about to leave the command room and go their separate ways, Nori, who had been sitting in front of the computer, suddenly said, "I think Daigo and Shinjo probably don't need to go."

"Huh?" Daigo turned around in confusion.

"We just received word that Golza has left, but he took a piece of the giant statue's body with him."

Ye Rui typed on the computer and uploaded a picture to the large screen in the command room.

Those are images taken from the air by the probe.

The scene was a complete mess.

The most striking feature is the two deep collapses in the ground.

Those were the two traces left by Lin Ye when he came out of the underground and when he later went back underground.

Compared to this, his enormous footprints were utterly insignificant.

"First they attacked the pyramids and destroyed the giant statues, and now they're specifically stealing fragments of those statues. What exactly is Golza trying to do?"

The chubby Horii stroked his chin and asked a question.

"Perhaps Golza was once an enemy of the giants," Munakata said.

"Even if they are enemies, would they really go so far as to smash their bodies to pieces and then come back to steal a piece? What kind of hatred could be so great?" Horii continued to question.

"Maybe... monsters are just more vengeful?" Lina said jokingly.

"Won't he hold a grudge against us?" the young Ye Rui asked honestly.

Everyone present was silent.

Daigo stared at the large screen, looking at the giant stone statue that was missing a piece. For some reason, he had a feeling that things were probably not that simple.

As the team leader, Megumi Kijima made her own decision at this moment.

"Daigo and Shinjo, continue your journey and pilot the Victory Flying Swallow 1 to the scene. Golza may return a second time if he can return once. Go to the scene and assist in bringing back the giant statue."

"Vice Captain Munakata will remain in the command center to take command. I'm going to find Director Sawai."

"yes!"

Under the command of Megumi Kijima, the GUTS team members immediately sprang into action. Daigo and Shinjo, carrying their helmets, quickly left the command room.

Meanwhile, Megumi went to Sawai to discuss converting the GUTS planes into combat aircraft.

Originally, this modification was ordered by Sawai after the monster named Gakuma appeared on Kuryo Island.

But at this moment, because of Lin Ye's "attack", Kijima Megumi and the Victory Team felt threatened, so they brought the matter forward.

However, Lin Ye was naturally unaware of these changes.

He had now returned to a depth of over a thousand meters underground.

Lin Ye randomly chose a volcanic area with flowing lava as his temporary resting place, not knowing if it was the so-called Mist Gate Moon Dead Volcano.

After stopping, Lin Ye put down the giant stone statue he was holding in his mouth and began to study it to see if he could absorb its energy.

"Normally, that shouldn't be possible, right?"

Although the idea was good, Lin Ye was also aware that the chances of actually making it happen were slim; it was just an attempt.

However, to his surprise, he easily extracted the light energy from the stone fragments and integrated it into his body.

Lin Ye could even clearly feel his body being strengthened little by little under the influence of light energy.

Um? ?

What's going on?!

Lin Ye was shocked.

After repeated attempts, he finally found the reason.

Perhaps because of the time travel, Lin Ye discovered that his ability to absorb energy was far stronger than that of his predecessor, Golza!

Taking the absorption of magma energy as an example, Lin Ye's current rate of absorbing magma energy is several times that of his predecessor, Golza!

It was precisely because of this enhanced ability that he was able to forcibly absorb the light energy from the fragments of the giant statue.

This discovery brought a smile to Lin Ye's face.

Time travelers always have a cheat code; the ancients were right.

Of course, this was just him joking.

Lin Ye had some guesses about the real reason. It might be that the fusion of his soul from a different world with Golza's body brought about some different changes, which altered his abilities.

Perhaps there is also an element of time travel involved, in which some mysterious substances and energies were brought along during the journey.

Whatever the reason, it's ultimately a good thing!

With his ability to absorb energy enhanced, Lin Ye can now better absorb energy to improve his strength!

Numerous thoughts flashed through Lin Ye's mind. Holding the fragments of the giant stone statue, he began to continuously absorb the light energy within them to strengthen himself.

Not only that, he also absorbed the magma energy around him to further strengthen and enhance his body!

Intense light energy intertwined with magma energy, forming a golden and a red beam of light that enveloped Lin Ye's massive body.

Like a cocoon of light.

Lin Ye, meanwhile, continuously strengthened himself and increased his power within this cocoon.

……

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, with Sawai's approval, the Victory Team's aircraft had already completed their combat modifications.

However, Golza never reappeared.

During this time, with the help of Nozue's data analysis, Daigo gained a preliminary understanding of the abilities of Tiga's three forms, and he also successfully communicated with the artificial intelligence Yuzare in the time machine.

Daigo learns that he possesses the genes of an ancient warrior and understands why he can transform into Ultraman Tiga.

This time, however, he did not drop the Spark Lens on the ground, but instead asked Yu Lian about Golza.

But Yuzare only told Daigo that Golza was an enemy of the Titans in ancient times and had fought against them.

As for why Golza turned back and took the fragments of the giant statue with him, Yuzare didn't know either.

As time went by, the Victory team's worries and concerns about Golza gradually decreased.

Especially after Victory Swallow II successfully destroyed a Gakuma in the battle on Kura Island using the Texas Beam, this worry almost disappeared.

From TPC's and Victory Team's perspective, they now possess their own power and no longer need to fear Golza.

Xincheng even joked that Golza might know they had changed their weapons and was so scared that he had gone into hiding.

After easily defeating another Gakuma on Kuroshima Island, Daigo adjusted his mindset.

It's just a Golza. If it appears again, I can just transform into Tiga and take it down.

This mentality reached its peak after defeating the Kirieloids.

……

At this moment, deep underground, unknown to anyone...
