Ultraman Tiga: Infinite Evolution Starting with Golza

Chapter 94 Lin Ye's Unique Radiant Power

"That is..."

Daigo paused for a moment when he spotted a buckwheat noodle stall.

He thought of Obik.

Moreover, that stall looked quite similar to Obik's stall last night.

Daigo tugged at Rena, "Shall we go take a look over there?"

Lina looked in the direction Daigo pointed and, upon seeing the soba noodle stall, immediately understood Daigo's intention.

"Okay! Let's go together!" Lina said with a smile.

The two walked up to the buckwheat noodle stall. The owner was squatting down, seemingly adjusting the fire. Hearing that customers had arrived, he quickly stood up.

"Excuse me, would you like something to eat... oh?"

The boss was stunned before he could even finish speaking.

Daigo and Rena were also completely bewildered.

"You are... "

Lina almost blurted it out, but Daigo quickly covered her mouth.

The noodle stall owner was also startled, and in his haste, he almost dropped his tools.

The reason for such shock is that the boss is none other than Obik from last night!

"You're not Obik?"

After Lina calmed down, she asked in a low voice.

The shop owner looked around and, seeing that there were fewer pedestrians and business was slow, said, "Let's go talk over there."

Pulling his noodle cart, the man led Daigo and Rena to a rather secluded street corner.

He cooked a bowl of soba noodles for Daigo and Rena each, and then set up a small table, looking just like a real noodle stall owner.

Then, looking at Daigo and Rena, the man slowly recounted his experiences.

In fact, he is the same Obik from last night, the same Obik who played hide-and-seek with the Victory Team this day, and the same Obik who fought against extradimensional creatures.

"Weren't you... dead?" Daigo asked in confusion.

"I am dead, and I vanished in your arms, Man of Light," Obik laughed.

Daigo scratched his head, looking embarrassed. "I..."

"No need to apologize," Obik interrupted Daigo. "You've done your best; it's not your fault."

He then explained, "I was actually dead at that time, but I suddenly came back to life at night."

"Perhaps it's people's longing."

Obik looked towards the resettlement shed in the distance.

Although he was far away, he could still hear people talking about him.

"And although I am still used to the darkness after my resurrection, I am no longer afraid of the light," Obik laughed.

It was only then that Daigo noticed that there was actually a street lamp lit up above the street corner.

If it were Obik from last night, he certainly wouldn't be here under this streetlight.

But today, he stood under the streetlights, with no shelter whatsoever, and nothing happened to him.

It seems that he, resurrected through people's longing, possesses a quality that is somewhat different from before.

"This is really a good thing."

Daigo smiled sincerely.

Seeing Daigo's sincere smile, even Obik couldn't help but be infected and smiled along with him.

A shadow emerged from under the noodle stall and came to Obik's side.

This is Obik's shadow, the Shadow Mage.

It was also resurrected along with Obik.

The fire that powers the noodle stalls to boil water and cook noodles is now provided by it.

"By the way, do you know that silver monster from today?" Obik asked.

"You mean Hilbargon?" Lina asked.

Daigo then explained in detail: "That silver monster is called Silvergon. It was originally an evil monster, but it was subdued by the guardian god Golza and now it occasionally appears to help humans."

"Judging from today's situation, it should be mainly active in the extradimensional world, killing extradimensional creatures that pose a threat to Earth."

Obik was a little confused. "Guardian deity?"

Does such a thing still exist on Earth?

Lina asked in confusion, "You didn't know?"

Seeing the puzzled looks in Daigo and Rena's eyes, Obik also began to doubt himself.

"I...I probably...don't know?"

Daigo thought for a moment, "It might be related to the era. Golza is a guardian deity who has been sleeping since the ancient times and only awakened a few months ago."

Obik nodded. "That should be it. The era in which we monsters were active was mainly from several thousand to several hundred years ago."

"Some of the older ones existed only tens of thousands of years ago."

"I don't know about things from too far back."

Daigo and Rena nodded in agreement, thinking that this was the correct approach.

After finishing their noodles, Daigo and Obik chatted for a while longer before Daigo, along with Rena, drove away in the Sherlock car.

Having completely let go of his worries, Daigo was noticeably in much better condition when he left.

Obik watched the departing Sherlock car and scratched his head.

"Guardian deity, Golza?"

"Shadow, do you remember me?"

The Shadow Mage emerged silently, and a rather immature young voice came from within.

"I don't know."

……

Rainbow Wonderland.

After dealing with the extradimensional creature, Silvergon dragged the monster's corpse back here.

As usual, the body was handed over to Karen for disposal.

Karen would extract the part containing extradimensional energy and use it as material, then use her virtual reality ability as an aid to create artificial extradimensional mayflies.

The number of artificial extradimensional mayflies, which has grown to double digits, is mostly produced in this way.

The remaining flesh and blood became Hilbargon's food.

However, this extradimensional creature seems a bit different. Kallen discovered special extradimensional organs inside its body, suspecting that it may be related to the monster's teleportation.

After some consideration, Karen sealed away the corpse of the otherworldly creature, intending to ask Lin Ye what to do with it after he woke up.

Hilbagun returned to Lin Ye's side and continued to sleep and rest.

The ball of magical light that Obik gave him was kept by his side.

More than three days passed before Lin Ye slowly woke up.

His body shrank again, and much of the honeycomb-like keratin layer on his neck disappeared, no longer resembling a honeycomb.

The small pointed horn protruding from his head transformed into a small inverted triangle pattern, which appeared on Lin Ye's forehead.

His heavy armor hadn't changed much; in fact, it had expanded slightly, providing better coverage for his body.

In addition to the mysterious symbols that appeared before, some special patterns have also appeared on the armor.

Both armor and skin have seen a significant increase in defensive capabilities.

Lin Ye now looks more like a heavily armored warrior; he's less bulky than before and a bit more agile.

However, anyone who thinks his power has decreased because of this is sorely mistaken!

Whether it originates from the dazzling power of Tiga or absorbs negative human energy from the dark spiritual magnetic field created by the Kirieloids, it is an extremely special and powerful force.

The improvement Lin Ye received was also enormous.

Especially the power of brilliance, which brings an almost comprehensive improvement in all aspects!

After all, the Shining Power that Tiga bestowed was of a higher quality and quantity than the negative energy absorbed and extracted from the Kirieloids.

Not only can it enhance your strength, but it can also be used to target various monsters and achieve better results.

Of course, negative energy is equally powerful.

Its aggressiveness is stronger than that of dark energy, and it also has various special effects that can be further developed.

But Lin Ye discovered that his two powers seemed to be slightly different.

Take Ultraman Tiga, in its nascent form, as an example.

After receiving support from the light in people's hearts, Tiga combined with the shining form that appeared from that light. Even though it was only in its rudimentary form, it was extremely powerful, and its strength increased significantly.

But that's only temporary.

The next transformation will not be possible without a sufficiently strong resonance of human spiritual light.

That increased strength could not be retained, and everything returned to square one.

Even if he is targeted and loses popular support, Tiga's strength will decline.

Just like when fighting against the second Kirieloid.

But that's Ultraman Tiga.

Lin Ye's enhancement is somewhat different.

He discovered that after absorbing the power of the Shining Force to strengthen himself, he could, like Tiga, better integrate with the light of human hearts and instantly enhance his strength.

What's different is that even without human intervention, Lin Ye can use the power of brilliance at any time!

This seemed to have become his normal strength!

Moreover, Lin Ye has another special trait: even if he is maliciously targeted by humans like Ultraman Tiga, his strength will not decrease.

Even if targeted, Lin Ye might still increase his strength due to the negative energy within him!

That's outrageous!

After discovering these special features, Lin Ye smiled to himself.

He was very satisfied with this enhancement!

After briefly sensing the changes in his body, Lin Ye suddenly realized that Hilbargon, who had just been sleeping, had woken up at some point and was standing in front of him.

Lin Ye initially thought that Hilbagon was eager to improve his strength, but he soon realized something was wrong.

He sensed an unfamiliar energy fluctuation emanating from Hilbargon.

Before he could even ask, Hilbargon proactively extended the claws hidden behind his back.

A ball of magical light imbued with a dark aura floated on Silvergon's claws.

"Boss, here! Eat!"

"Hilbagon said simply."

Lin Ye was stunned. Although this energy was not strong, its nature was quite special.

Most importantly, where did Hilbargon get it?

At this moment, Karen also learned that Lin Ye had woken up and rushed over.

Lin Ye finally learned everything by questioning Karen.

Looking at the image of the original owner of the magic orb projected by Karen, Lin Ye immediately recognized it as Obik.

The energy within this ball of light is what is known as demonic power, or magic.

"Not bad, not bad, that's thoughtful."

Lin Ye patted Hilbagon's head.

This was originally a gift from Obik, but it kept it specifically for itself.

As expected, Silly Dragon still has a conscience.

Lin Ye didn't stand on ceremony with Hilbargon and prepared to try absorbing it.

Because this magical light is quite special, although it belongs to the dark attribute, it also has some characteristics that ordinary dark energy does not contain.

Lin Ye wanted to absorb it and experience it.

Just as he was about to absorb it, a message suddenly came from the real world.

That's news from Masaki Keigo!
