Ultraman Tiga: Infinite Evolution Starting with Golza

The members of the Victory Team were, after all, the elite of the elite. Although they felt a lot of pressure, they quickly adjusted their mindset and began to investigate the situation.

Shinjo and Daigo went to the amusement park in District D to investigate the cause of the earthquake there.

Horii and Nozue stayed at the base to analyze Golza, also known as Lin Ye, using various data and information.

Munakata led the TPC team to the vicinity of the Tsurusaki Power Plant to see if they could make any more discoveries, and also to prepare for the power plant to be attacked again.

Lina patrols in the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, ready to provide support at any time.

Captain Megumi Kijima is in charge of overseeing operations and preventing any unforeseen circumstances.

……

For the next few days, Lin Ye did not appear again as he was strengthening himself.

After some investigation, the members of the Victory Team finally confirmed some of the facts.

First, Daigo and Shinjo investigated the amusement park in Zone D.

Using special acoustic equipment, they detected a huge cavity underground in the amusement park.

So the two drove the underground Pipa tank, which was specially designed for surveying underground conditions, into the amusement park's underground area, where they discovered Gadi's lair and Gadi's half-dead corpse.

This discovery greatly shocked both the Victory team and TPC.

Who would have thought that such a monster's lair was hidden underground in the amusement park!

Most importantly, the monster's corpse.

Sampling and analysis revealed that the monster's lair contained the same substance found in the monster's corpse.

In other words, this corpse was actually the owner of this den.

An even more terrifying monster killed this monster in its own lair!

Through the collection and analysis of combat traces such as footprints at the scene, the GUTS team confirmed that the one who killed the underground monster of the amusement park was Golza!

Then a new question arises: why did Golza kill the monster?

"What is confirmed at present is that the Golza that appeared near the Tsurusaki Power Plant and killed the monster Ligadron is the same one that destroyed the pyramid."

Inside the Victory Team's command center, everyone gathered for another meeting, and Horii presented his analysis.

"How did he become so strong in such a short time?" Daigo asked, puzzled.

This is also what he most wants to know.

Horii glanced at Nori sitting in front of the main computer. Nori nodded and sent a picture to the big screen.

That's a picture of Lin Ye absorbing Ligadron energy.

"We can see that Golza is absorbing energy from Ligadron's body. I suspect that he became stronger in a short time through this method!" Horii said.

"But we haven't had any energy stations attacked before," Shinjo asked, puzzled.

Zongfang narrowed his eyes. "No, you've forgotten, Golza once stole a fragment of a giant statue!"

"Researchers at TPC have discovered that the giant statue contains extremely powerful energy, but it cannot be activated or used by humankind at present."

"That's right!" Horii nodded. "My guess is the same. Golza evolved by absorbing the energy from the fragments of the giant statue, which is why his strength has increased so much."

"Just because humans can't use it doesn't mean monsters can't."

"Golza, having slumbered since ancient times and awakened specifically to destroy the pyramids, may be seeking to seize the power of the giants."

"This explains why he returned to the pyramids last time to steal the fragments of the giant statues."

It must be said that although Horii's speculation differed somewhat from the facts, he still managed to analyze the key point of Lin Ye absorbing the power of the giant statue to become stronger.

The Victory Team's mastermind is quite something.

Shinjo rested his chin on his hand and said thoughtfully, "That makes sense. You can see from Golza's appearance that it has changed a lot since its first appearance."

"Don't those gold and red patterns look a bit like the patterns on Ultraman Tiga's body?"

"Huh?" Daigo looked completely bewildered. He really wanted to ask Shinjo what kind of taste he had, and what exactly resembled him!

Horii didn't pay attention to any of this. He continued, "Golza didn't attack the Tsurusaki Power Plant, possibly because Ligadron's energy is already sufficient for his next evolution, so he didn't choose to destroy the power plant."

"Just like when he was at the pyramids, he only took a fragment of the giant statue with him."

"So, the next time we meet, Golza will be even stronger?" Lina noticed another key point in these words.

Horii nodded. "Very likely!"

Daigo, standing beside him, clenched his fists silently; he was truly feeling the pressure.

Golza, who has already evolved once, is already difficult to deal with. If it evolves again... can he really handle it?

"The monster named Gadi in the amusement park's underground area was killed after Golza left the Tsurusaki Power Plant. Although there's no evidence, I suspect that Golza absorbed Ligadron's energy and was then preyed upon by Gadi."

"Because we found the prototypes of some monster eggs inside Gadi's body."

"So I suspect that Gadi may have seen Golza as prey and wanted to eat him in order to lay eggs in the future."

"It's a pity that Gadi underestimated his strength and couldn't defeat Golza."

"The only thing we can't be sure of right now is whether Ultraman Tiga will ever reappear," Horii sighed.

"Tiga will definitely reappear!" Daigo said confidently.

No matter how strong Golza becomes, I will definitely be able to defeat him!

We must defeat him!

……

Lin Ye, who was still using the energy of Ligadron to further strengthen himself, was unaware that Daigo had already regarded him as a boss-level enemy.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

After Horii made his analysis and provided basic answers to many questions, Victory and TPC also made new deployments.

The fragments of the giant stone statues within the base attracted more researchers, who attempted to decipher the power within them. A young man named Masaki Keigo also joined the effort.

In addition, TPC's research and development of new armed forces has also been put on the agenda.

These were things that Director Sawai, who was inclined to peace, would not have allowed, but now, faced with the terrifying threat of monsters, Sawai has tacitly accepted them.

The proposal to reorganize the Earth Defense Force was rejected by Sawai.

In addition to the adjustments made to the base, patrol and defense forces have also been increased at some external energy stations and large power plants to prevent them from being attacked by Lin Ye.

However, this arrangement did not bring Lin Ye, but instead caused a lot of trouble for another monster.

The zombie monster Sylizan.

A giant creature carcass suddenly appeared on the shore. Just as the GUTS team was about to hoist it away for disposal, it fell from the sky and then revived.

Silizan also possesses the ability to devour energy, but compared to Lin Ye, it plays a much more rudimentary role, targeting liquefied natural gas storage tanks.

Because of Lin Ye's threat, TPC made some arrangements for these special energy points, which caused Silizan a lot of trouble.

However, due to its regenerative nature, it is difficult to destroy. In the end, the GUTS team still chose the same method as in the original story: to send a liquefied natural gas storage tank to the scene, hoping to use the high temperature of the liquefied natural gas to burn the monster cells completely and prevent them from regenerating.

Unfortunately, due to a misoperation, the gas storage tank was seized and swallowed by Silizan.

In the end, it was Daigo who transformed into Ultraman Tiga that brought the story to a close.

Although the GUTS team made a mistake in this incident, Tiga's reappearance brought a sigh of relief to everyone.

The last question Horii raised has finally been answered.
