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

Behind them, Yu Lian appeared beside the submarine, looking at R'lyeh from afar, and finally raised her arms high, making an ancient gesture.

That was a sacrificial ritual.

Thirty million years later, the last priest of R'lyeh returned to their sacred land.

Masaki began to eagerly sweep here and tap there, collecting data, while Kirino raised his head, quietly gazing at this sacred place he had seen countless times in his dreams, lost in his own thoughts.

Kirino and his group made progress and were in a good mood, as was Hong Tu.

During the day, the opening of Chijera captivated people like an addiction. But at night, when Chijera closed, people went into a frenzy, no longer wanting to face reality, but instead yearning for the beautiful dreams that Chijera created for them.

People's pain, madness, disappointment, and greed generated far more negative energy than usual, and Hong Tu ate with complete satisfaction.

They even went so far as to find a piano and play a piece on the spot.

Chapter 92 The Light of Humanity

Daigo stood by the street, watching people craving Gijera's pollen like addicts, even fighting over it...

You can't see the warmth and kindness of ordinary people; all you see is the madness of unsatisfied desires.

He was suddenly bumped by someone and staggered two steps, but the person who bumped into him from behind lost his balance and sat down on the ground.

Daigo instinctively reached out to help him, but his outstretched hand was slapped away.

"Zijera...give me Zijera..." The man got up on his own and happened to see a Zijera with its petals closed standing gracefully in the flower bed next to Daigo.

"Zijira!" The man shoved Daigo aside, rushed over, and eagerly brought the flowers to his nose.

When the others heard his words, they turned around and saw Zigela in his arms. They immediately surrounded her, scrambling for the unopened flower.

Daigo was pushed out of the crowd, and seeing their frenzy, he became even more confused.

He didn't want people to be immersed in this false dream as they faced death, but he didn't know if what he was doing was what people wanted...

"Da da da, da da, da da..." The sound of the piano seemed exceptionally quiet amidst the frenzied crowd. Daigo, who was initially confused, noticed the sound of the piano and was somewhat surprised. Then, his face lit up with joy, and he went to find the source of the piano sound with hope.

Hong Tu sat in a high-end restaurant, at a black piano, playing the piano piece he remembered.

He remembered every single one of Ultraman Tiga's background music very clearly, as if someone had specifically taught him to learn them, but... he couldn't remember who that person was. He couldn't even remember why he had to learn them himself.

But he didn't care, because he would always remember.

The piece he's playing now is called "The Light of Humanity," a background music often used by Ultraman Tiga.

When Daigo arrived, he saw the young man sitting in the dark restaurant, playing a piano piece, surrounded by a black and gray "mist". Nearby, people had inexplicably fallen silent.

Daigo listened to him play until the end before asking, "What piece is this?" This piece reminded him of the light he had received from the people that day…

"It is a piece dedicated to humanity, called 'The Light of Humanity'."

"The light of humanity..." Daigo murmured the name, and the idea in his heart finally became firm. "I understand!"

"???" What? What did you find out?

"The light of humanity should not be extinguished like this!" Daigo took out his Spark Lens, his gaze resolute. "Humanity does not need the dream world created by Chizilla. Humanity will overcome this so-called fate of extinction!"

"Are you going to make the choice for humanity?" Hong Tu could see that the light on Daigo's body was getting brighter and brighter, almost dazzling.

"I want to do what I believe is right. I am human too!" Daigo no longer hesitated, pressed the transformation device, and transformed into a beam of light, shooting out from the ceiling.

“Light…” Hong Tu watched the light disappear into the distance, “Even if it means being hated by humans, is it worth it?”

The young man took out a ring: "That won't do, I really want Qi Jiela..."

In the young man's hand, the dark ring glowed with a faint red light: "..."

"A weapon of destruction? What the hell? I just like the way it blooms..."

The stuck ring: "???"

"Forget it, whatever it's used for, it'll be taken down by Tiga any later." The youth transformed into a streak of darkness and chased after the departing light.

Near Chigela's main body, some people had already come looking for her pollen. When Tiga landed in front of Chigela, these people panicked: "Tiga! No!"

"No! Don't hurt Qi Jiela! Tiga!"

"No!"

"That's our Qijiela!"

"..."

Tiga ignored their shouts, walked up to the dormant Gijira, and slashed down hard at the flower bud with a hand chop.

The chop landed on the base of the flower bud, sending up a shower of sparks, but it didn't cause much damage.

Tiga was startled, and subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to do it again.

Would Qijiela just stand there and let him hit it? Of course not. It's not stupid. It just didn't expect that Ultraman of Light would interfere with human choices to deal with it. Now that it has realized what's going on, it will naturally fight back.

The vines sprouted from deep beneath the earth, and Tiga, caught off guard, was lashed out.

Qijiela pulled out several more tentacles from the ground and became fully active.

Qijiela's combat strength is actually not strong, but because it is a plant, it is relatively tough and has a lot of health.

Because of human resistance, Tiga's light was weaker than ever before, and his fighting power was naturally not very high.

Therefore, neither of the two behemoths could defeat the other for the time being.

Until, the huge, previously closed flower bud of the Qijiela bloomed.

Tiga was taken aback by this turn of events. Chijira was a plant that only bloomed during the day, so why was it blooming at this time?

The huge flower bud burst open, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth at the stamen!

The giant vine wrapped around Tiga's neck, and from the depths of the sharp mouth at the heart of the flower, it bit into Tiga's struggling wrist.

“jia~”

"Ah~" However, its bite caused limited damage to Tiga. Instead of stopping Tiga's wrist, it sprayed a large amount of yellow pollen onto Tiga's face.

"Jia~" Although it won't cause any harm, the taste is a bit intoxicating.

"How pitiful." Hong Tu floated in the air, feigning a lament. "I only smelled a little bit and my nose felt choked. Ultraman Tiga must have felt even worse from such a strong olfactory attack."

Just as he was feeling sorry for Tiga, Tiga below had already been sprayed a second time, and then was lifted up by the ankles by vines.

Hong Tu slightly turned her head, and the people below cheered, shouting "Go Qi Jiela!"

Meanwhile, the Victory Team's planes arrived, but they did not attack for a long time.

Yellow lightning flashed from the vines of the Chijera, relentlessly attacking Tiga, even lifting him upside down and slamming him hard to the ground.

"How pitiful." Hong Tu took out the ring. "It was clearly for the sake of humanity, yet it is not appreciated. So, give Qi Jie to me instead."

The card passed through the red ring, turning into red particles of light that gradually formed a monster on the ground.

"Jie~" A two-headed, fiery red monster appeared on the other side of the battlefield.

"Ponton! Burn the Chijilla."

Pandon spewed flames that burned onto Zijira's body.

Since it's a plant from Earth, it's naturally afraid of fire. Burned by the flames, Qi Jiela withdrew the vines binding Tiga and turned the side with the flower bud towards the suddenly appearing Panton.

Tiga fell to the ground, quickly shook his head, got up, and was stunned when he saw Panton. He subconsciously looked up and saw the red tea floating in the sky.

Hong Tu raised an eyebrow, and seeing him looking over, a malicious smile immediately appeared on his face. He took out the ring again: "Red King! The chance to beat up Ultraman Tiga has arrived!"

Chapter 93 Tiga's Choice

Red King, nicknamed "Corn Cob," appeared behind Tiga and roared as he spotted him.

Before Tiga could react, he turned around alertly and saw Red King scratching his neck, jumping up and down happily before rushing towards him.

Tiga was met with a headbutt.

"Jia~" Tiga was sent flying by the impact, crashing solidly to the ground, not even realizing what had happened.

"???" Wait, weren't you here to help me? Why are you hitting me?

Red King ignored him and slammed Tiga away. The monster became even more excited and eagerly wanted to rush over and do it again.

Seeing that things were going badly, Tiga quickly got up from the ground and dodged its second headbutt.

Red King was having a great time fighting with Tiga, while on the other side, Pandon was completely dominating Qijiela.

Plants are naturally afraid of fire, which means that Qijiela is no match for Panton. Although it has a lot of health, it can't withstand such a fire.

Qijiela also tried to bind Panton with vines, but the two-headed bird was very clever and simply wouldn't get close to it.

So Qijiela screamed in agony as he was burned, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Hong Tu leisurely landed on an open space, avoiding being discovered by the Victory Team.

Seeing Tiga being beaten down (actually, he didn't fight back at all, he just dodged), the crowd that was initially paying attention to Gijira couldn't help but look at Tiga.

“Dad, Ultraman Tiga…” A little boy grabbed his father’s arm.

"Tiga, do your best!" Someone shouted first, and the people who were originally cheering for Gijira had already changed their tune.

Ultraman Tiga saved them so many times; humans do have feelings after all.

"Go for it, Tiga!" More and more people started cheering for Tiga.

Tiga paused slightly, turned his head, and looked at the people cheering for him. The light in his heart trembled slightly, and then began to shine even more brightly.

"Everyone..." Lina heard the shouts of the people on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes, and she shouted along, "Tiga, do your best!"

"Go for it, Tiga!" The other members of the GUTS team joined in the cheering.

Hong Tu turned her head, looking in the direction of the crowd, tilting her head slightly. "Since that's the case..."

"Pangton, take it down!" Hong Tu decisively gave the order. The crowd's attention shifted. Tiga was about to unleash his full power. They needed to quickly eliminate Qi Jiela before getting their kills stolen!

Panton let out a loud cry, and both heads spewed out even more powerful flames, completely igniting Qijiela.

"Ah~" Qi Jiela let out a wail, but it did not attract anyone's attention.
