The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2279 The Upside-Down Building
The heavens and earth seemed to be torn apart, not by five or ten bolts, but by hundreds or thousands of lightning bolts, like ferocious venomous snakes or scorching iron whips, pouring down at the same time, filling the field of vision and crowding the eye sockets. Everywhere the eye could see was blinding white light, as if one were in a boiling furnace, and just looking at it made one feel a tremor from the bottom of one's heart.

These hundreds of electric whips were lashing the monster madly, each strike igniting fierce sparks. When piled together, they resembled a vast, boundless, raging sea rising from the ground.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. The raging lightning, in the most primitive and direct way, wantonly displayed its supreme power. In the face of this sky-covering, earth-connecting net of lightning and fire, not to mention humans, even monsters tens of meters tall seemed extremely small. They couldn't even utter a sound, let alone resist, before being instantly swallowed up.

What followed was a terrifyingly loud bang that almost shattered eardrums, like hundreds of firecrackers exploding at once, sharp and piercing like continuous war drums, pressing in from all directions, playing this symphony of destruction, giving the feeling that your soul was trembling, that you would be torn to pieces and pulverized in the next second, leaving not even a trace.

This breathtaking, thunderous dance didn't last long, but it was enough to be imprinted in one's bones and etched into one's soul. So much so that even after the thunderstorm stopped and the roar subsided, only the strong smell of burning remained in the air, reminding one of what had just happened.

Just watching this thunder of judgment from afar, powerful enough to tear the sky and shatter the earth, was an unparalleled shock to the mind and body. One can only imagine how terrifying it would be to face this thunder directly.

Soon, the Super Victory team members found out—

As the lightning subsided, the monster that had been swallowed up gradually reappeared, though its body looked rather pitiful.

It was completely shattered.

The vines that were originally intertwined and wrapped around the monster like a sweater are now as if they were first thrown into a shredder and then into a furnace. They are charred and broken everywhere, so broken that they can hardly hold the monster anymore. They can barely hang on it, and the wind blows them down.

If the thick vines were like this, the monster was naturally in no better shape. After all, even the densest vines have gaps, and lightning can penetrate any gap and electricity can enter through any hole. Before the lightning could shatter the vines, the electricity had already struck the monster, bringing it an unparalleled tingling sensation, making it unable to even utter a wail, completely paralyzed by the electricity.

As the rattan armor broke, lightning surged even more fiercely, relentlessly bombarding the monster, blasting up flying debris, and filling the air with a thick, burnt smell, telling the story of the monster's miserable state.

As the lightning dissipated, the monster's body was indeed charred black, completely losing its original pinkish color. Some areas were pitted and uneven, with the deepest ones almost exposing the bone. Countless tons of flesh and blood had been reduced to ashes. Terrifying electric currents drilled into the monster's body from the dense wounds, running rampant everywhere and bringing the monster unparalleled 'stimulation'.

His entire body was completely out of control. Although he didn't lose any functions, he was basically unresponsive. He couldn't even stand, let alone walk. He swayed and collapsed to the ground with a bang, causing a landslide and a sinkhole.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that people's brains hadn't even had time to react. The monster that had been swaggering around and shooting wildly was now lying on the ground, charred and smoking.

The changes were so rapid that they left one speechless, dumbfounded. One mechanically turned their head and saw Ultraman Tiga standing tall on the earth, nestled among the forest, his outstretched right hand still emitting wisps of sparks, clearly indicating that the lightning had just struck from there.

"Diga!"

With a shout of surprise, Tiga raised his arms, clenched his fists and crossed them in front of his forehead. As the diamond-shaped crystal emitted a bright silver-white light, Tiga's falling arms naturally tucked into his sides at his waist. As his purple-blue body quickly turned into a mix of red and purple, his arms stretched forward, his outstretched palms crossed together, colliding to create bright sparks.

Then, as he stretched out his arms to the left and right, countless light particles gathered, condensed into chains of light, and wrapped into bands of light, eventually attaching to Tiga's arms, shining brightly in the daylight like LED lights.

Ah!

With a soft shout from Tiga, he crossed his arms into an L-shape and released a beam of light as dazzling as the Milky Way from his right arm, instantly striking the cosmic behemoth Dali, who was lying on the ground and unable to get up for a moment due to the intense electric shock.

Bang!
boom!
Wherever the Zepelion beam passed, the cosmic behemoth Dali immediately burst into a burst of intense sparks. The holes on its body became the perfect fireworks tubes, spewing fire and smoke from the inside out, turning the whole thing into a fireworks tree.

The excruciating pain that tore at every cell in its body caused the cosmic behemoth Dali, which was paralyzed by electric shocks, to let out a shrill wail. It wanted to run, it wanted to escape, and it wanted to fight back, but its entire body was being electrocuted and it was beyond its control. There was too much current flowing in, and before it could digest it, even more and more intense Zepelion rays came.

The cosmic behemoth Dali could only passively receive the energy, its eyes rolling back in its head as it was blasted into sparks, and finally, with a long, mournful cry, it collapsed to the ground. Tiga also stopped the output of the Zepellion Ray.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment; everything fell silent and stopped moving.

But the next second...
boom!
The cosmic behemoth Dali exploded, an explosion from the inside out, instantly tearing its tens of meters tall, tens of thousands of tons body into pieces, then blasting it into dust. Amidst the swirling dust, it was caught up by the raging flames, then burned to ashes, and finally swept away by the shockwave of the explosion, disappearing without a trace.

Flames soared into the sky, and smoke filled the air!
The world suddenly became lively, but the commotion did not last long. In a short while, the smoke and fire dissipated, and everything returned to silence. Tiga's huge figure also disappeared.

call--

With the help of the ground jet system, the Victory Eagle slowly landed on the ground. As soon as it came to a stop, Ryo Yumimura couldn't wait to climb out of the cockpit, take a few quick steps on the wing, and then jump down, carrying a medical kit in his hand.

"Captain, are you all right?"

Yumimura Ryo shouted, and rushed in front of Kibi Takesuke and the other two.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Kibi Gosuke waved his hand, while Kariya Kouhei flexed his biceps to show that he was strong and unharmed.

Nakajima was several steps behind, and he disembarked from the plane with considerable effort and an unladylike posture. Although he was panting heavily, his eyes were shining and filled with 'impatientness'.

"Captain, may I go over and take a look?"

"Uh, be careful, let's go together."

Kibi Gosuke knows Nakajima Tsutomu well. Preventing him from studying such a peculiar place would be worse than killing him.

This is the thirst for knowledge, a unique desire of scientists, especially top scientists. Their greatest pleasure is studying the unknown, and their greatest joy is solving difficult problems.

Now that he's encountered such a 'magical' place, how could Nakajima not be tempted?

"It won't be dangerous, will it?"

Ryo Yumimura was somewhat worried. Although she hadn't gone down, she could hear Gosuke Kibi's conversation and see the images from the helmet's built-in camera. The building, which looked somewhat futuristic on the outside, was filled with strange things. "Don't worry," Toshiyuki Koda, the only one in danger, said cheerfully, "Captain Chiba is over there."

"Oh!"

That's no problem.

The group of five walked very fast. Even the slowest one, Tsutomu Nakajima, was walking briskly, wishing he could sprout wings so he could reach the building that everyone was so eager to see.

Before long, the building came into view. It was probably due to neglect, so weeds grew in the cracks of the road and the green belt was even more exaggerated. There were no flowers to be seen, only weeds, and even several small trees had grown, making it look messy and without any beauty.

The main entrance of the building had been opened, allowing people to see the person in the center of the lobby at a glance. Although his face was not visible, the familiar back view made it clear that it was Chiba Makoto.

just
"Where is that giant cocoon?"

Koda Toshiyuki was quite surprised. He remembered that this place used to be covered with vines and branches everywhere, with a huge cocoon in the middle. The ground was raised, with floor tiles, subfloor, and soil piled up into a mound. But now all of that was gone.

This situation made the group's expressions serious. They immediately quickened their pace, climbing the steps in a few strides and rushing through the door, revealing the entire hall to the three of them: the floor was flat and smooth, the walls were clean, there were no vines, no rotten branches or leaves, and no giant cocoon. This was completely opposite to what they had seen before.

Kibi Gosuke twisted his neck, scanning his surroundings for any clues, but all he saw was a spotless environment, not exactly immaculate, but absolutely clean.

If it weren't for the fact that the furnishings and layout were exactly the same as before, Kibi Kosuke would probably have thought he had come to the wrong place.

"Chiba, have you discovered anything?"

Left with no other choice, Kibi Gosuke had to consult an 'expert,' since the expert couldn't figure it out anyway.

"I have a guess." Chiba Makoto had walked to the center of the hall, looked down at the clean floor, stomped his foot, and the sound was dull, indicating that it was solid. He then looked up at both ends and the corridors on both sides were clean and tidy, the floors were so smooth that they reflected images, and there was no indication that vines had once covered the place.

"It's probably because the past was disrupted, so the future was changed."

Chiba Makoto's words left everyone speechless, especially Nakajima Tsutomu, who was so shocked that he blurted out, "The grandmother paradox has been solved?"

The grandmother paradox is the biggest obstacle to time travel.

Take the present as an example. It was because there was something wrong with this building that the Super GUTS team entered it, which alerted the monsters. As a result, due to various factors, a time warp was caused, making the top and bottom upside down and the old and new mixed together.
But if the monster had been defeated in the past, there wouldn't have been any problems with this building, the Super GUTS team wouldn't have entered, and naturally, the monster wouldn't have been alerted, thus preventing the fourth-dimensional phenomenon and the time distortion from occurring.
If there's no time distortion, how can you deal with the monsters in the past?
If the monster wasn't dealt with in the past, then this building will likely still have problems, inevitably leading to a super victory.
It's a vicious cycle: where there's no chicken, there's no egg; where there's no egg, there's no chicken.

This is the paradox of time travel.

“Theoretically, that’s true, but…” Chiba Makoto shrugged and said, “The world is just that unreasonable.”

As he spoke, Chiba Makoto picked up a chair next to him and casually tossed it into the air.

Super Victory Team's gaze followed upwards, and then they couldn't help but open their mouths wide in surprise.

Makoto Chiba controlled his strength perfectly. The chair was thrown towards the ceiling, but the highest point was just a few centimeters away from the ceiling without hitting it, and then it stopped there.

Yes, the chair stopped three centimeters from the ceiling and didn't fall down due to gravity; it just floated there.

"This this."

Tsutomu Nakajima's mouth was wide open, big enough to fit his chubby fist inside. His head, which was crammed with knowledge, was completely scrambled and couldn't move at all.

It wasn't that he was making a fuss; it was simply too unbelievable.

Even when Nakajima Tsutomu looked down to make sure he was standing on the floor and that gravity was still in effect, the chair was still floating steadily on the ceiling, showing no sign of falling. It silently proclaimed that there was gravity here, and a strong one at that, capable of resisting the gravity of the Earth.

"Let's go take a look on the second floor."

Chiba Makoto consulted everyone's opinions, and they all nodded in agreement. Everyone was very curious about where this gravitational force that could hold the chair was coming from. Going to the second floor to take a look was indeed a good idea, especially what would happen if a person walked to the height of the ceiling? Would they be affected by this gravitational force?

Tsutomu Nakajima was so eager that he forgot his fatigue and walked very fast, showing none of his usual lagging behind, which made people take notice.

But once you get to the stairwell, things are different. You have to be cautious and vigilant, and be prepared to deal with the reversal of gravity or even being torn apart by gravity at any time, so as not to be caught off guard.

But nothing unusual happened even after we reached the second floor.

There was no gravitational disturbance as expected, no gravitational repulsion as anticipated, and no tug-of-war-like gravitational tearing. The person was able to walk to the second floor in a perfectly normal way. The second floor was also perfectly normal, with a clean floor, clean walls, and nothing on the ceiling.

When they arrived at the lobby on the first floor, there was nothing there either. It was just ordinary tables and chairs, without any high-tech gravitational generators or anything like that. In other words, there wasn't something upstairs attracting that chair on the first floor.

"What's going on?" Nakajima Tsutomu was bewildered. None of the knowledge in his mind could help him at this moment, and he didn't know which direction to think about.
