Ultraman: Forced to become the Dark Boss

Disheartened, he no longer cared about the identity of the person in front of him.

"I am someone who can help you... or rather, give you a chance to choose again."

Daigo's dim gaze paused slightly.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw a pair of shoes about a meter away from him.

No… that’s a person!

When did he appear in front of me?

Daigo was somewhat alarmed.

He struggled to his feet, sat on the ground, and looked at the man with a wary and uneasy expression.

"The Spark Lens isn't the only thing that can transform into Ultraman Tiga. It's not just the Spark Lens that can transform into Ultraman Tiga."

Yuan Huixia looked on with a look of reminiscence.

He was under Daigo's watchful gaze.

He pulled out a gray-black object from his pocket that Daigo found familiar.

"A magic light stick? No, how could you have one... even though it was already..."

"As I said, the Spark Lens isn't the only one. However, if this Spark Lens is used, although it can still transform into Ultraman Tiga, there will be a price to pay."

"Masaki Keigo took your Spark Lens in order to become the replacement for Ultraman Tiga."

Hui Xia smiled.

The black glow stick in his hand shimmered under the surrounding colorful light.

"And now that you've lost your Spark Lens, what choice will you make when faced with this giant who poses a threat to humanity?"

"I'm giving you the choice. You can choose whether or not to use... this powerful yet ominous force."

"Cheer up, people of light."

After saying this with a profound meaning, Huixia gently placed the Dark Light Rod on the ground.

Then he decided to leave.

"Wait...you, are you that giant who looks a lot like Ultraman Tiga?"

Daigo suddenly had a guess in his mind. He subconsciously picked up the magic wand that the man had put down, staggered to his feet, and asked.

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

With his back to Daigo, Huixia finished speaking and his figure vanished from the spot.

"and many more!!"

Daigo's attempt to persuade him to stay came too late.

He stood there stunned for more than ten seconds before finally putting the Dark Light Rod into his pocket with a complicated expression.

Where will Masaki Keigo go?

...

"Da Gu, Da Gu!!"

Mitsui Amusement Park.

Horii and Shinjo, who arrived late, became somewhat anxious after their fruitless search.

"Where did that kid run off to?"

Horii looked at the empty amusement park with a puzzled expression, wondering why it was so strange, and felt a little uneasy.

...

The next day.

Daigo's disappearance is temporarily suppressed by Megumi Kijima.

TPC is discussing the issue of the mechanical monster shark.

Furthermore, a conclusion has already been reached.

"According to Horii's investigation, this mechanical shark is a product of Earth."

"Izumi said to Norizumi on the contact screen."

"Really? That's incredible. The manufacturer clearly possesses technology far surpassing TPC's. Wait, does that mean..."

In an instant, Ye Rui thought of many possibilities.

Since it's a product of Earth, it's very likely that it was made by humans, right? Who could possibly have that ability!

"How's the secret chest coming along?"

The meticulous Megumi immediately thought of the secret box after the meeting. It was related to the mechanical shark and deserved serious attention.

Ye Rui snapped out of her daze. "I'll take a look right away!"

He switched to the communication channel as he spoke.

That is, Dr. Tango's laboratory, the location where the secret box is stored.

What comes into view is an empty storage table.

Ye Rui was instantly stunned. "How could this be?"

"what happened?"

Before the communication was interrupted, Director Sawai and Megumi exchanged a glance, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in their hearts.

"...One of the transport planes also took off without authorization!"

The three of them simultaneously remembered the secret box.

Could it be...?

Ye Rui's face turned grim, and he hurriedly tried to contact the transport plane that had taken off without permission.

"Dr. Tango, why did you take the secret box without permission?"

Ye Rui was surprised that the connection was actually successful.

And indeed, the person in the picture was Dr. Tango.

“Someone has come up with a better way to use the secret box than you have. And now I’m going to deliver it to him.”

Dr. Tango, unlike her previous submissive demeanor in front of Megumi and Sawai, spoke with a disdainful tone.

"Is this something a TPC scientist would do? To betray the interests of the organization and humanity would be significant..."

Ye Rui's voice was interrupted, "Of course, I think it's the right thing to do in pursuit of higher scientific goals. Besides, how have you treated me? Making me guard a broken box in that cramped lab every day... and the worst part is you can't even figure out how to use it properly..."

Dr. Tango was clearly somewhat insane; it seemed he could no longer tolerate any preaching.

"Dango, do you know what you're doing?!"

Intermediary Hui warned him.

This is treason!

"Hehe, don't try to scare me with those kinds of words anymore, I'm so scared!!"

The Queen deliberately feigned fear, then her expression suddenly turned cold: "I've had enough!"

The communication screen abruptly ended.

"This is... a huge problem."

The contents of the secret box must contain some mysterious power, which is why TPC has always been hesitant to investigate it further. But unexpectedly, someone couldn't resist their evil intentions and made a move against it!

Chapter 320 Another Giant

...

After a fruitless night of searching for Daigo, the GUTS team members rested on a small hill in the Mitsui amusement park, filled with mixed feelings.

The lush green grass, the pale blue sky, and the refreshing, clean air were a stark contrast to the lingering smoke of yesterday.

But even such good weather couldn't cheer up Rena, who was worried about Daigo.

Her eyes were somewhat dazed, and her expression looked very uneasy.

A person sits on a lush green hillside, seemingly blending into the surrounding scenery and becoming part of the verdant landscape.

The motionless back view appeared lonely and heartbreaking.

"Don't think about Daigo anymore. Isn't he always like this? Maybe he'll come back on his own in a few days."

Xincheng warmly brought two glasses of milk, sat down next to Lina, handed her one, and said in a casual tone.

"Thanks…"

Lina was somewhat surprised and quite moved.

"Just when everyone thought he was going to die, he would suddenly appear out of nowhere, waving and saying, 'Hey~ I'm here...' This guy, it's like Lady Luck is always on his side. He always manages to survive unscathed."

The sounds of the new city are filled with memories.

It's as if we're mourning the dead.

Lina, however, didn't understand. Instead, she felt genuinely fortunate for Daigo: with such a group of teammates who cared about him, what reason did he have to hide somewhere and not come back?

But if you're really safe and sound, shouldn't you appear in front of me right away?

Lina felt both worried and angry.

"That guy, Xincheng..."

Behind the seemingly harmonious pair, Horii held two glasses of milk, his smile vanishing the moment he saw Shinjo's back. Realizing he was no longer needed, he took a sip of the milk, which usually tasted rich and creamy but now tasted slightly bitter, growing increasingly angry. He promptly poured the other glass away.

...

Where is Daigo at this time?

He wasn't idle either; he wanted to find Masaki Keigo and get back his Spark Lens.

He has to do this.
