Ultraman Tiga: Infinite Evolution Starting with Golza

Chapter 92 An Unexpected Change, Obik's Determination

Following Munakata's instructions, the GUTS team began searching for Obik's whereabouts in every dark corner of Hikono Town.

But Obik was playing hide-and-seek with them, disappearing instantly every time they were discovered.

In deserted alleys, shopping mall counters, cement pipes, even inside self-service photo booths and in the cargo compartments of passing trucks, etc.

The Victory team encountered Obik in many corners.

But each time it was just a fleeting moment; once discovered, it would leave.

This made everyone even more puzzled.

What exactly is Obik trying to achieve by doing this?

What's in it for?

Lina noticed that in the photos automatically developed by the photo booth machine, Obik's expression was distorted by the flash of the camera.

It was obvious that he had to exert a lot of effort to endure the flash.

Considering that Obik is a monster that lives in the dark, Lina deduced that Obik must be very afraid of bright light.

Horii affirmed her idea.

"Monsters are terrified of bright light; they'll die if they're exposed to it!"

"So it's strange, no matter what, there's no way Obik could be running around here and there in broad daylight."

Daigo frowned. "Why take such a risk?"

"Huh?" Lina looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Daigo stood up and said, "There must be some special reason why they're risking their lives to scare the townspeople!"

"What reason? What exactly is this reason?!"

Xincheng yelled; he was almost driven crazy by Obik.

However, Zongfang, who was sitting to the side, calmly said, "The only reason for this is to ask Obik."

"what?"

Daigo, Horii, and the others looked at Munakata.

Zong Fang stood up and said, "By nightfall, Obik should be with the shadow in the pot. I have a good idea!"

However, before Munakata could explain what he was going to do, a sudden change occurred!

On a street in Hikono-gai, the space suddenly rippled.

A huge figure suddenly appeared.

It is over fifty meters tall, with a body that is somewhat humanoid, and it is somewhat similar to the otherworldly demon goddess Enomina that once appeared.

However, the shoulders are not prominent, and the skin color is also slightly different.

In addition, this creature has two enormous pincers at the front of its arms.

However, blood was constantly flowing from the creature's face, as if it had been attacked and injured.

After appearing on the street, the creature looked around and, upon seeing many humans, immediately attacked.

It uses pliers to destroy buildings and grabs humans to stuff them into its mouth.

It seems they want to gain energy and heal their trauma by eating people.

Fortunately, the Victory Team noticed the situation and launched an attack in time, using the laser weapons on the Sherlock and Drum vehicles to stop the monster's movement.

But the Victory Team's attack only enraged the monster.

Its golden patterns lit up, and it instantly appeared next to the Sherlock car, smashing it to pieces with a single swipe of its pincers.

Luckily, Lina reacted quickly, opened the door, and rolled out; otherwise, something terrible could have happened.

The monster used its pincers to grab Sherlock's car and then smashed it against Drum's car, destroying both of them.

Without the Sherlock and Drum cars, there are no weapons that can threaten the monsters.

It then began wreaking havoc in the town and capturing humans.

People began to flee in a frenzy.

While seeking support from headquarters, Munakata led the GUTS team members on the scene to fight off the monster.

Unbeknownst to them, Obik was secretly watching everything as the monsters appeared and began to destroy the town.

He originally intended to continue intimidating the public and creating panic.

Because tomorrow, excavators will be going up the mountain to break ground and start construction, his last resting place will also disappear along with the former village.

So Obik wanted to go crazy one last time, taking his shadow with him.

Unexpectedly, before he could even begin his operation, such a monster appeared and started destroying the town of Hikono.

"Hahaha, ruin it all, ruin it all!"

"The lookout tower over there, and the little river over there."

"And the lotus pond across the way!"

"It's gone, all gone! The village is gone!"

"So, just destroy it all!"

"It would be better if it were destroyed!"

Obik became more and more excited as he spoke, gesturing wildly and even contorting his expression.

But gradually, his movements stopped.

Before I knew it, tears had soaked my face.

"But Shadow, why do I feel so bad watching him destroy the town?"

"I did think about destroying this town too."

Obik muttered to himself.

Next to him was a pot.

That was the pot placed on the buckwheat noodle stall.

The pot lid was lifted by a black object, which was Obik's shadow, also known as a shadow mage. It possessed independent consciousness and could unleash attack spells.

Hearing Obik's words, Shadow said, "Do whatever you want, I'll always be with you!"

Obik remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Okay!"

This time, his words were incredibly firm.

……

On the other side, the victorious team, whose efforts to stop them had been slow to yield results, were getting impatient.

Daigo used the excuse of splitting up to attract attention from another angle to run away, hoping to take the opportunity to transform into Ultraman Tiga and engage in battle.

Lina knew what Daigo was thinking, and after saying she was going to help, she followed him.

This is to cover for Daigo.

So the two of them tacitly turned off the team voice chat.

However, before Daigo could even pull out his Spark Lens and transform into Ultraman Tiga, another enormous figure appeared in the town.

This is also a humanoid creature, about fifty meters tall, with a bib-like breastplate around its neck and keratinous layers on many parts of its body and back for protection.

Upon seeing the creature, Daigo and Rena exclaimed simultaneously, "Obik?!"

While researching information about Obik, they found ancient books containing images of Obik.

One of them is this monster-like state.

This is said to be Obik's true form as a monster.

But now that Obik has appeared... is he planning to join forces with that creature to completely destroy the town?

Was that creature summoned by Obik?

The doubts had barely formed in their minds when the two saw Obik rush towards the extradimensional creature that was destroying the town!

He didn't come here to destroy the town!

On the contrary, he was actually there to protect the town and its residents!

This performance completely surprised everyone.

Because this is completely different from the state that Obik showed when we were tracking him these past two days.

But after careful consideration, Daigo noticed something.

That is, although Obik caused a lot of trouble, he was only using various methods to scare people. The only young man he actually captured was just too frightened and did not suffer any serious harm.

Conversely, another extradimensional creature was truly wreaking havoc on the town and killing people.

Despite the victories' best efforts, casualties still occurred.

Watching Obik fight desperately against the extradimensional creature, Daigo thought of what the temple man on the mountain in Hikono Street had said.

He vaguely understood something.

"Obik is a monster who has always lived in the dark corners of this place, but the development and construction of the town, as well as various human activities, have affected his life."

"That's why he pulls all sorts of pranks and creates panic."

"Actually, he just wanted humanity to stop this kind of exploitation."

"He didn't really intend to harm humans!"

Daigo analyzed.

Lina thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's also because of my love for the village."

"Although the place has changed, he still cherishes the memory of his former village in his heart."

"He must have some feelings for this place too."

"So when Hikono Street was truly destroyed, he couldn't help but stand up."

Unfortunately, although he stepped forward, Obik's situation in the battle was not very optimistic.

He seemed to have little energy; his fighting movements were very slow and lacked power, making it difficult to harm the extradimensional creature. Instead, he was repeatedly struck by the creature after it easily dodged his attacks.

The extradimensional creature was too lazy to attack humans at this moment and focused all its attention on Obik.

It seemed to want to vent all its anger on Obik, and then kill and eat Obik to heal its injuries and replenish its strength.

"Oh no! Obik is a monster that lives in the dark. It can't fight effectively in the daytime and might even be killed by the sun!" Lina immediately understood the reason.

Not only Lina, but also Munakata and the others on the other side guessed the reason.

"Daigo, help him!"

Lina cast a hopeful glance at Daigo.

"clear!"

Daigo smiled, took out his Spark Lens, and transformed in front of Rena.

A flash of light appeared, and Tiga's figure appeared on the battlefield between the two monsters.

At that moment, Obik had just been thrown aside by the extradimensional creature.

Just as Tiga was about to step forward to help Obik, the space rippled again.

Tiga immediately assumed a fighting stance, ready to fight.

On the ground, Lina, who noticed this situation, gradually lost her smile.

Are there still enemies?

Just as everyone was on high alert, a familiar figure appeared.

Silver skin, large horns resembling those of a argali sheep...

This is Silvergon, who used Kallen's tracking and location abilities to pursue the extradimensional creature!

"hold head high!"

As soon as it appeared, Hilbagon let out a roar, but it was stunned when it saw the three huge figures in front of it.

what's going on?

Someone stole its food?

He glanced at the otherworldly creature, then at Obik, and finally at Tiga.

Silvergon felt that Tiga posed the greatest threat.

So it stretched out its paw, pointed at the extradimensional creature, and then at itself, indicating that it was its prey.

The main reason is that Tiga's performance after the last battle against Kirieloid II was so amazing that Silvergon felt he couldn't win.

Otherwise, it wouldn't bother communicating.

Knowing that Silvergon had come to deal with the extradimensional creature, Tiga breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded, indicating that he would not interfere, and then walked towards Obik.

As for Hilbargon, he went straight for the extradimensional creature.

run?

I'll break your legs!
