Ultraman: I Really Didn't Want to Rule the World

Despite the numerous artillery bombardments, they had no effect on Choberia.

When the attack ceased, the lightning emitted by Choberia instead annihilated numerous armored units.

Human forces, once again, were forced to retreat immediately due to defeat.

Hong Tu, hidden in the sky, looked at the metal wreckage on the ground and the dead humans, and for the first time truly realized the conflict between monsters and humans.

It's not just about aggression and being invaded, but also about the struggles that must be fought for survival.

Humans and monsters alike are fighting for survival.

So, what is Tiga fighting for?

What was his motivation? To seek the light?

In the original storyline, even if he hadn't helped Tiga, humanity would still have overcome despair with hope in the final battle. So, why did he help Tiga so many times?

This was probably the first time that Hong Tu had realized so clearly that although she was no longer human, she still considered herself human in her heart.

Even though he had started to see things from a monster's perspective and think like a monster, he still never considered standing against humanity.

Perhaps that's why Joebellia didn't want him to participate.

The guy named Hong Tu, although he already has superhuman strength, is not yet truly ready to become superhuman.

The so-called battle inside the Earth was just a pretext to give him a reason not to participate.

Looking into the distance, Hong Tu saw that the sun had already set more than halfway down; in a little while, it would be dark, and Choberia would be about to make his move.

His time is running out.

But is there any need to think about it?

No need, he should have made that decision a long time ago.

For now, let's just assume he's running away.

Chapter 49 and the Battle

The sun had set, and the Victory Team temporarily ceased operations, monitoring the movements of Joebelle while beginning to rest.

Choberia remained dormant in the cave, quietly waiting for its chance—the time when humanity was most exhausted.

Hong Tu sat atop a building, expecting a swift attack from Joebellia, but clearly, he was wrong.

Joebelle was calmer than he had imagined, which also showed that Joebelle's target was not only Tiga, but also humanity.

Around the world, the Lightning Men's lair still flies in the air, with flashes of electricity appearing from time to time.

TPC has deployed a large number of fighter jets and is in the process of encircling these cocoons. After dawn, it will launch a general offensive.

Everyone waited, and time passed quietly until it was late at night.

Joe Bellieri began his operation.

It crawled out of the ground, its target the temporary outpost set up by the nearby TPC.

"Commander, the monster has moved!" Nori rushed into the tent and reported the news to Munakata.

Munakata, Daigo, and Nozue ran out of the tent and saw Jobelie walking heavily towards them, while the TPC ground forces had already launched their attack.

However, Choberlia easily destroyed those aircraft that had not yet fully taken off with its electric lights, and ground artillery fire posed even less of a threat to it.

Hong Tu stood up and watched as Joe Bellier braved the shelling and headed towards the TPC stronghold. The ring hanging on his waist glowed faintly, and the monster cards in the card box began to stir.

He could see that Ye Rui, covered in fear, used his own light to forcefully cover up the darkness, shouting "How could I not be afraid of death!" as he ran towards Jobelie.

He saw Daigo take out the Spark Lens, looking confused and trying to get an answer from Tiga: "Ultraman Tiga, why do you fight? What are you fighting for?"

This was the first time he heard Daigo transform and shout, "Tiga!"

Ultraman Tiga, shining with the light of human faith and hope, landed in front of Joebelle, blocking its advance and fighting it.

A red light shone from Hong Tu's eyes, but this time the red was so intense it was almost black. Several monster cards flew out of the card box and slowly rotated around him.

He casually pinched a card between two fingers, and without even looking at it, he knew what kind of monster it was.

"Gomora." The card turned into red particles of light, but it failed to materialize into a monster.

"Golza".

The light particles of the two monsters combined and intertwined, materializing into a composite monster.

"Gomozan!"

Gomora's horns, Golza's lava-covered skin, and the amplification of its dense dark power combined to form a truly ferocious and terrifying monster.

But this is not the end.

"Bemunstein".

"Barton."

The second fusion monster appeared, possessing Barton's pointed beak and Bemstar's body.

"Bastan".

This was the first time Hong Tu had used the power of the Ring Fusion Monster, and it was also the first trump card he had played.

"Stop them!"

At the young man's command, the two ferocious combined monsters charged into the battlefield without hesitation.

Upon noticing the intervention of the two monsters, Tiga and Joebelle stopped what they were doing, and the humans on the ground stared in horror at the two extra monsters.

"Two more monsters have arrived!"

Zongfang pulled Ye Rui away from their spot quickly. They were too close together, and if a fight broke out, they might be caught in the crossfire.

Tiga recognized the aura emanating from the two monsters—it was Negu's power. But these two monsters seemed to have ill intentions.

Choberie reacted even faster, following the direction from which the power emanated, and quickly located Red Tea's position.

"Jie," Jobelia called out to Hong Tu, signaling him to leave.

Hong Tu's answer was even more concise. He didn't answer at all, but instead ordered the two monsters to speed up.

The two monsters didn't stop moving. Gomozan crashed into Jobelie, while Bastan spewed fireballs at Tiga.

Choberlie was knocked back a few steps and fell down the hill behind him.

Tiga was hit by a fireball, sparks flew from his body, and he was knocked to the ground.

"Go back!" Hong Tu's voice finally reached Tiga and Giovanni's hearts. "Goblin, don't make me force you to go back!"

"Jie!" However, Jobelia refused to listen to him, his head crackling with electricity as he targeted Gomozan.

But when the lightning struck Gomozan, sending up a string of sparks, it only made Gomozan take a few steps back.

Gomozan patted the spot where it had been hit and walked toward Joberias without a care, just as it had done before, braving artillery fire as it had.

Hong Tu's meaning is quite clear: since they won't listen, let's just use the monster's method and resolve this by force.

On the other side, Bastan gave Tiga no chance to fight back, pressing his advantage and constantly attacking Tiga with fireballs and beams, causing various explosions to occur around Tiga.

When the attack stopped, Tiga was lying on the ground, unable to move, with only the color timer flashing red.

Why? What am I fighting for?

"Neg, what are you doing this for?"

Tiga's question did not receive a response from Hongtu, but instead led to Bastan's approach.

The monster's heavy footsteps drew closer. Tiga struggled to sit up, and in his mind, he saw the GUTS team.

"Go for it, Ultraman Tiga!"

Zongfang, holding onto Ye Rui, turned around and saw Tiga struggling on the ground, while the ferocious monster was getting closer and closer. He couldn't help but shout to cheer Tiga on.

Daigo heard his voice, and it seemed he also heard the voices of others.

Captain, Lina, Horii, Shinjo, Nori, everyone was cheering him on in their hearts.

"Is this the reason? To fight to protect these people, because they are my comrades, they are the people I love!"

Ultraman Tiga's light shone brightly, and he stood up again.

Bastan gaped in surprise, somewhat bewildered that Tiga was able to stand up again.

But Hong Tu had anticipated this; he had already guessed it when Daigo asked the question during his transformation.

Daigo will find his reason to transform into Tiga and fight.

But

“Oguma”.

Oguma appeared behind Tiga. Before Tiga could even turn around, Oguma stretched out his forearm and firmly grabbed Tiga's waist.

Bastan was close by, and Oguma held onto Tiga firmly, creating a dead end.

But at that very moment, a bolt of lightning shot out from the other side. No one could have predicted that the one who would help Tiga at that moment was none other than Joebelie, who had previously been his enemy.

Ignoring Gomozan behind him, Jobelie shot a bolt of lightning from his head, striking Bastan and extinguishing the flames brewing in Bastan's mouth. In return, Jobelie was slammed to the ground by Gomozan.

Bastan's skill was interrupted, and the flames in his mouth spilled out, almost choking him.

Everyone, including Tiga, looked at Joebelle, who was being pinned to the ground by Gomozan.

"That monster is helping Tiga?" Nori stared at the scene in disbelief. Who would have thought that a monster that was just an enemy would risk its life to help Tiga!

On the contrary, Nag's stance has become ambiguous.

"Neg, whose side are you on this time?" Captain Megumi sat alone in the command room, looking at the large screen, her heart heavy. She thought of the promises they had made before. "Neg, this time, do you think humanity is wrong?"

Previously, Nigg had helped Gazort, although in the end no damage was caused, but that time it was because he was willing to trust humans that he stopped.

What about this time?

"If Nag intends to stand against humanity, then what about that monster?"
