Ultraman: Forced to become the Dark Boss

Did I do something wrong?

Hearing Daigo's cautious question, Rena could no longer hold back her tension.

"I…"

She felt like crying, but she kept encouraging herself and didn't let the tears fall. Looking at Daigo's familiar face, she couldn't say a word.

Why should one person bear all of this?

Why won't you let me share the burden with you?

Lina felt increasingly wronged, so she simply said nothing, turned around, and strode away.

She wanted to prove through her actions that she could help.

Daigo was a little dumbfounded.

But a new decision was soon made.

Pilot a fighter jet alongside Lina!

This way, she can be protected.

Chapter 336 I Can Too

...

"Since Zoga is at the bottom of the sea, it proves that our previous guess was correct. This monster does indeed have the instinct to return to its nest."

Inside the GUTS command center, Horii looked at the underwater ruins on the communication screen and had a bad feeling.

Since it possesses the instinct to return to its nest, then... could this monster be a social animal...?

Horii felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of a swarm of strange birds charging out and wreaking havoc. Shaking his head, he said, "We should get going. We need to eliminate the monsters as soon as possible and find out what's inside this ruin..."

"This ruin may not necessarily have been built by humans."

Intermediary Hui suddenly said.

Just as everyone else was surprised, Ye Rui suddenly pointed nervously at the screen.

"Wait! Zoga is out!"

Just as Horii was about to share his thoughts with everyone, that familiar demonic bird-like monster flashed past among the ruins, then quickly darted upwards through the ocean currents. Judging by its appearance…

Zong's expression darkened: "It seems we'll have to split up."

Director Sawai calmly said, "I agree. Horii and Shinjo, you will be in charge of investigating the underwater ruins, while Munakata and Rena will be in charge of pursuing Zoga and doing everything in your power to prevent it from landing."

"understand!"

At Sawai's command, everyone sprang into action.

"Hey, what about me?"

Daigo looked completely bewildered.

Before Sawai could respond, Megumi suddenly said meaningfully, "You and Lina should go into battle together. After all, the Snow White is an experimental machine, so it's safer with two people. Munakata, you go and pilot the Alpha to be ready to provide support at any time."

"Yes!"

Zong Fang's expression softened slightly, and the two captains made brief eye contact before quickly looking away.

...

Daigo jogged all the way and finally caught up with Lina before she requested permission to sortie from headquarters. He quickly climbed onto the fighter jet and entered the cockpit. "Sorry to bother you, I will sortie with you."

Lina, who had entered the Snow White early for testing, couldn't help but roll her eyes and pout, looking somewhat disgusted.

But Daigo was completely unaware. "Let's go!"

Without uttering a sound, before Daigo could even settle in, Lina abruptly pushed the control stick to prepare for takeoff!

"Eh?"

"These two..."

Inside the command post, Megumi Kijima couldn't help but laugh.

Hopefully, the rift can be cleared up soon.

...

Whoosh!

The speed of the Snow White was indeed far superior to that of the Swallow No. 1. It stayed close behind Zoga, launching attacks from time to time to hinder the monster's movements.

Although most of the attacks hit their target, they did little to damage Zoga.

As the doctor said, the Snow White is equipped with only five specially made spiked bullets. Besides that, there is only the laser cannon that even the Flying Swallow No. 1 has phased out. Apart from the former, which can still pose a certain threat to Zoga, the latter... is probably only good for tickling Zoga.

The more this happened, the more frustrated Lina became. Besides, Daigo was right behind her…

Under such emotional influence, her handling of the Snow White became more aggressive.

For a time, Snow White and Zoga fought back and forth, but most of the time Snow White narrowly dodged Zoga's energy ball attacks.

Then they launched a counterattack.

The Alpha, left far behind, could only serve as a foil in this speed battle.

This duel continued until Zoga grew tired of it.

"eng!"

After the strange bird calls, Zoga accelerated upwards again. The sudden burst of speed caught Lina off guard. Seeing that Zoga was about to break out of the atmosphere, Lina did not hesitate and followed at full speed.

"Lina, the Snow White is not equipped with any devices that allow it to survive in outer space. Please stop immediately!"

Daigo, who was the first to notice Lina's dangerous behavior, couldn't help but speak up to warn her, but Lina seemed not to hear anything and continued to chase Zoga.

"This is too reckless! Make her stop this risky behavior immediately!"

This battle is extremely important. Humanity may have another chance to prove whether it can defeat the monsters with its own weapons. The hawkish TPC Police Chief, Tetsuji Yoshioka, has always worried that without Tiga, Earth would be powerless to defend against external invasion, especially since Tiga is not invincible.

Although he is a hawk, Yoshioka also dislikes such irresponsible team members.

"Team member Lina, stop immediately!"

Megumi was also a little nervous and quickly sent orders to Lina through the communication channel. But Lina had already turned off the communication system…

Inside the Snow White, the fuselage trembled as it approached the atmosphere, and under heavy load, sharp alarm sirens echoed continuously.

But the pilot didn't seem to care.

Tears gradually welled up in her eyes.

Looking at the monster, he murmured, "Higher..."

"...Lina, what's wrong with you?"

"Why didn't you tell me what was wrong?"

At this moment, Daigo increasingly sensed that something was wrong with Rena.

Just as he was about to say something, Lina suddenly spoke up, her voice trembling with tears.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why should one person bear this burden?

Lina's question silenced Daigo instantly.

The only sound inside the cabin was the incessant, urgent siren.

Lina's chest heaved as she sobbed, "Does that mean... does that mean Ultraman has a duty to protect the Earth all by himself?!"

Daigo was somewhat shocked, but even more so, he was moved.

It turns out that Lina suddenly became like this because she was worried about herself.

That's why she would fight regardless of the danger, because she desperately wanted to share the burden with him... Yes, it's too tiring to be alone.

"Daigo, you've always fought alone... Don't you think that's unfair?!"

Lina…

Daigo didn't know how to start the conversation.

"If possible, I also want to become light... Only by becoming light can I fly higher! Only then can I help you!"

"This is not an obligation... I am a human being too, I am just doing what I can."

Once his identity was revealed, Daigo felt relieved. He had been carrying this pressure alone for a long time, and it was exhausting. But he had no one to confide in, so he could only fight alone.

He was confused, he was desperate.

In the end, he bravely endured it all.

Moreover, with someone caring about you like this, what is there to hesitate about?

"I guess I can't turn back now..."

Lina cried and said, "Go ahead and change."

"I want to fight alongside you!"

Daigo's eyes were also a little red. He gritted his teeth and said gently, "You can also become light..."

You can too…

The Spark Lens emitted a dazzling light, and in this light, Daigo's figure disappeared inside the Snow White.

Lina, blinded by the bright light, only looked up instinctively after the light faded. And there she was, once again, seeing that familiar, reliable giant.

“Tiga…”

Lina smiled, and the smile on her pretty face, still wet with tears, made her even more beautiful and charming.

Ultraman Tiga cradled the Snow White, protecting it tightly. The next second, he transformed into his aerial form and swiftly pursued Zoga.

Finally, just as they reached space, Tiga caught up with Zoga.

Lina, who was completely focused, unleashed all of her spikes at once!

It hit Zorga's wing root perfectly!
