My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Although it has grown many times larger, it looks exactly the same.

Having fused the medals of Golza, Melba, and Gakuma, Gakuma now takes on a completely new form, and a sound effect plays from the Dark Ascendant.

"Emperor Gakuma - Ancient Armor".

Upon hearing the sound effects, Daigo realized that he was in battle. Just as he was about to launch an attack, he felt a tingling sensation behind him as he looked at the fusion of Golza, Melba, and his own Gakuma in the distance.

The electric current surging from Gakuma β was now firmly pressed against Tiga's waist.

Chapter 846: You're welcome, Giant Mountain Super Power Overlord

At this moment, Daigo felt a strong paralysis coming from behind him, but because of his thick skin and tough body, he didn't feel much pain at all.

He had no time to worry about anything else, because Gakuma α, not far away, seemed ready for battle.

At this moment, the red light on the corner of Gakuma α condensed the magma from the ground, which was drawn to the surface and surged rapidly. The magma that surged out gathered at the corner of Gakuma α to form a drill bit, and the next moment Gakuma α launched an attack.

"You giant who was called Ultraman Tiga by those greedy creatures, you who aided and abetted evil, let me, who has evolved into Emperor Gakuma, defeat you!"

The self-proclaimed Emperor Gakuma α said that its every move is now under the control of Xia Qing's mental abilities, and its own consciousness has now fallen into a deep sleep.

At this moment, Daigo watched as Emperor Gakuma, who was rapidly crashing into him, forcibly dragged his numb body and began to instinctively gather energy. Under these circumstances, he had no choice but to go for it.

As Daigo's hands, which had been unconsciously opened after being electrocuted, were about to come together in prayer, he stared blankly at the purple defensive field in front of him.

what is this?

At this moment, memories from Tiga's body surged into his mind. A hint of understanding flashed across Daigo's eyes. So that's how it is. This is one of Tiga's abilities. He didn't expect that the posture he used to gather energy earlier would just meet the triggering conditions.

At this moment, the scorching magma drill had rushed in front of Tiga and collided with the purple barrier. Seeing the barrier gradually shattering, Daigo opened his hands and clasped them together, delivering a double (peak) piercing blow to Emperor Gakuma.

Emperor Gakuma, struck by Daigo's attack, felt his surroundings become somewhat blurry. A powerful, all-out strike is difficult for most monsters to withstand.

“Gakuma, we need to talk.”

Daigo, who discovered that Emperor Gakuma could understand human speech, spoke through his not-so-skilled Ultra Telekinesis that Ultra Telekinesis was one of the earlier memories related to Tiga.

Daigo's inheritance of Ultraman Tiga is essentially a huge gift package; he hasn't even finished reading the list of all those abilities, let alone using them.

"Tiga, we have nothing to talk about. We cannot survive without fighting. Since humanity has cut off our hope of survival, then we should be prepared to face our wrath."

"I cannot ignore tomorrow's Gakuma. You, and those who stole my things, will all be reduced to ashes in my rage."

At this moment, Emperor Gakuma said while fighting, "However, if we fight with our fists, it will be difficult for a monster like Gakuma, which has very low agility, to gain the upper hand against the agile Tiga."

Is survival impossible without fighting? Did the workers who developed this place really destroy or take something important to Gakuma?

As Daigo thought this to himself, Emperor Gakuma's tone was filled with murderous intent:

"Greedy humans have stolen my stored food, and you, who have the potential to rule the darkness alongside me, choosing to help them is the worst decision you've ever made."

After he finished speaking, Emperor Gakuma launched another attack, and Gakuma β naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch.

Faced with the attack from the two brothers, Daigo, who had little combat experience, retreated repeatedly. However, under Xia Qing's intervention, the two brothers still acted with restraint and did not really intend to kill Tiga.

The warning lights flashed repeatedly, but Daigo, determined to fight, remained resolute.

"I will not lose!"

I can't just collapse here, after all, there's a residential area not far from the mine.

Completely powerless to resist, Daigo, who was joined by Gakuma, seemed to vaguely see something appearing in front of him. Like a moth drawn to a flame, Daigo inside Tiga instinctively grabbed onto that thing.

"what is this?"

At this moment, Daigo's body was fighting almost instinctively, and his consciousness was gradually fading. He subconsciously reached out and grasped the badge not far away.

"This is the Monster Medal. With it, you can defeat any Emperor Monster."

Just then, a sound rang out, and Xia Qing, who had slowed down the flow of time, appeared inside Tiga in the form of a miniature Gaia.

"Thank you, Ultraman."

Upon hearing these words and seeing that Xia Qing now bore a resemblance to himself, Daigo instinctively spoke up, and Xia Qing responded gently, "You're welcome, Giant Mountain Super Power Master."

Who is the Giant Mountain Super Powerhouse?! It's Ultraman Tiga! I am Ultraman Tiga!

Daigo subconsciously thought this to himself, but before he could say anything, Gaia's figure gradually blurred:

"Mega Mighty, the revival of darkness is inevitable. I regret that I cannot assist you further. Mega Mighty, accept this light that can temporarily help you. The future of this world is in your hands..."

After Xia Qing, who played Gaia, sent out a burst of light and finished speaking, her figure disappeared. At this moment, Daigo examined the thing he was holding tightly in his hand. It was a badge with a monster on it.

“That kind of greedy species is not worth guarding at all... Wait, this power... I didn’t expect you to have the same aptitude as me.”

In reality, Emperor Gakuma, who was fighting against Tiga on instinct, made another move, while Gakuma β also launched a sneak attack from behind Tiga.

However, the two beasts' attacks were weak, and under the current circumstances, Daigo was not as good at controlling Tiga as he was at fighting instinctively.

Previously suppressed and at a disadvantage, Daigo switched to his own fighting style after being replaced by the enhanced Emperor Gakuma and Gakuma β, who were overwhelmed by the skilled combat techniques and unable to retaliate.

After regaining his fighting spirit with Gaia's light, Daigo's consciousness returned. He didn't dwell on the previous scene; he knew that the most urgent task was to deal with the monsters in front of him.

Taking advantage of the instinctive fighting style he had gained earlier, Daigo was now giving Emperor Gakuma a good beating.

The next moment, the numbness returned, and Daigo knew without a doubt who was behind it.

"Why are you so strong one minute and weak the next? Never mind, it's not a big deal. There will be beings in the future with the same aptitude as me. Let's start a new battle in the world of the mind."

At this moment, Emperor Gakuma used the monster's communication method to tell Gakuma β to observe the situation, then his eyes flashed red and he established a mental connection with Tiga, pulling Daigo into the mental space to prepare for the battle.

Under the influence of instinct, Daigo subconsciously resisted Emperor Gakuma. A few minutes later, after learning from the memories that Emperor Gakuma had leaked out, Daigo felt somewhat complicated.

It turns out that everything started with some ordinary stones?

Chapter 847: Gakuma: She gave so much.

Emperor Jakuma stood frozen in place, while the Victory Team's makeshift fighter jets had already taken off. Looking at Emperor Jakuma in the mental world, they exclaimed in surprise:

"Tiga, I never thought that you, as the inheritor of light, could gain the recognition of that power. However, your ideals are a bit too unrealistic. Do you think you can buy me off with just a few stones?"

"I have seen through your memories, your thoughts, you foolish heir! I will return your power and the power of light to the heavens and earth!"

After Emperor Gakuma finished speaking, Daigo's consciousness returned to Tiga's body.

At this moment, the GUTS's old-model spare fighter jets have arrived, and Daigo uses his Ultra Telekinesis to select a nearby worker who is retreating and tells him about the current situation.

If he were to tell Lina and the others directly, his identity as Ultraman would probably be exposed immediately.

Daigo was still unsure how to explain his ability to transform into Ultraman. Just then, the worker who was running away received a telepathic message from Ultraman Tiga and was slightly taken aback, wondering if he was hallucinating.

While blocking Emperor Gakuma's attack with his left hand, Daigo, seeing the bewildered worker, gave him a thumbs-up. After a moment's hesitation, the worker decided to try contacting the GUTS team.

Upon seeing the new city where people were being evacuated not far away, the worker's eyes lit up and he began to explain everything that had just happened.

The GUTS team's operational efficiency was extremely high. Knowing that if things continued this way, the battlefield between Tiga and the monsters might shift to the crowd, Megumi Kijima decisively had Rena, who was piloting an old-fashioned fighter jet back to the battlefield, state her side's price.

"Apologize? Hmph, I was devoted to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the gutter. I have worked for you humans to stabilize this territory and prevent the leakage of dark matter for a long time, and you humans repay me with this kind of thing."

"I'd rather not be a mountain god. I'll retrieve what I've lost myself. Your charity is an insult to me. A gentleman doesn't accept charity. I swear, I, Jiakuma, will not become a rock monster until I avenge this!"

Emperor Gakuma spoke angrily, and the GUTS team members, who heard these words through Lina's live broadcast, were stunned.

This monster speaks with poetic verses; wow, it's a cultured monster!

However, judging from the monster's one-sided account, could it be that he helped humanity resist something called dark matter in the past?

At this moment, Director Sawai, who is in charge of the Victory Team, is also participating in the video call with Rena. Looking at the expression on Director Sawai's face captured by the camera, he seems to be deep in thought.

Are there intelligent monsters? Perhaps this is an opportunity for humanity to understand monsters.

"Gakuma, humanity cannot be represented by a single individual. Our Victory Team is willing to bear the losses you have suffered."

Since we all live in the same starry sky and are beings capable of distinguishing right from wrong, why must we fight and kill each other?

Our captain, Megumi Kiyama, has something to say to you: if you're willing to talk things over, we'll refund your losses tenfold.

At this moment, Lina tried to persuade them, but what she didn't say was that if they intended to use force, the return would be tenfold, and it wouldn't just be the lost stones.

"Hmph, what do you take my Emperor Gakuma for? Do you think you can insult me ​​with those stones?"

A mere tenfold return... wait, tenfold return?

"Ahem, humans, upon closer reflection, Tiga's words do make sense. I'm quite interested in the plan for all things to build a harmonious home together, helping each other to eliminate conflict."

Before Emperor Gakuma could finish speaking, he changed his tone and looked at Lina's fighter jet, feeling that they could have a proper talk.

I wanted to refuse, but she offered just too much...

At this moment, Daigo, who still maintained a mental connection with Emperor Gakuma, felt somewhat conflicted, and he even doubted whether he had misheard.

Do monsters... also get greedy?

At this moment, Daigo thought to himself, "I don't understand, but I am deeply shocked."

So, it turns out monsters can be defeated with money.

?

At the Victory Team base, watching the Gakuma crew, who had been so tough just moments before, instantly change their expressions upon hearing "tenfold retribution," I felt a lot of questions. You, you're a monster!

You are a calamity for all living beings, the rock monster Gakuma, the embodiment of fear and power...

The members of the Victory Team were silent as they watched Emperor Gakuma completely lose his composure, and even Director Sawai was bewildered by Emperor Gakuma's actions.

This is truly an unexpected path—to defeat the monster through bribery.

The interaction is two-way, and Xia Qing, who had already made clear arrangements for Emperor Jiakuma, naturally understood this.

"Humans, I want to see the compensation you promised within a month."

By the way, Earth is no longer safe. If I were you, I would do my best to research technologies that lead us to the stars.

At this moment, Emperor Gakuma, whose appearance differed greatly from his original self and who now exuded an air of majesty due to the fusion of multiple monsters, spoke thus.

As for Gakuma β, it was standing obediently to the side at this moment. The rock monster Gakuma was not a powerful monster in essence. Its intelligence was only at the level of an ordinary bird or beast.

Gakuma β was completely obedient to Gakuma α. Xia Qing had already used Emperor Gakuma's body to make Gakuma β wait in place while Lina was speaking.

Leading Gakuma β back to the mine with her, Lina's voice, acting as a messenger, rang out again shortly after Gakuma β left: "Mr. Gakuma... what do you mean by saying Earth is unsafe?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Gakuma turned around and replied, "A new era has begun, and as time goes by, more and more monsters will awaken."

Tiga is not invincible. If you only intend to rely on Ultraman's power, you will not be able to overcome the disaster of the monster resurgence.
