Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1244 Nagano Hiroshi: I don’t know how to fight at all!

So what should I do? Cooperate with her?
After all, it's not easy to mess with a variety show that can make a spoof by breaking into your own home. His agency didn't notify him, and such things generally require prior notification.

Nagano Hiroshi shook his head helplessly, thinking that perhaps this really was an unprecedented segment of a variety show, although this level of "surprise" was indeed a bit too much.

He began to think about how to best cooperate with this sudden "performance". After all, as a public figure, maintaining his personal image and considering the effect of the show have long become an indispensable part of his career.

Although he knew deep down that this was most likely just an elaborate prank, Nagano Hiroshi still maintained a professional smile, ready to perform the drama to the fullest.

"I understand, Miss Iruma,"

He responded half-jokingly and half-seriously, with a hint of mischief in his eyes, "Then how should I turn into light? Do I need to put on that suit first?"

This mysterious and elegant woman finally shifted her gaze away from Nagano Hiroshi's still handsome face and slowly fell on a glass display cabinet in the corner of the living room.

There, quietly lying is an item of extraordinary significance to Hiroshi Nagano - the magic wand.

This is not only a souvenir from the filming of "Ultraman Tiga", but also an indelible mark of his acting career. Every carefully carved texture and every meticulous detail carry the memory of that glorious period, which is by no means comparable to those crudely made mass-produced toys on the market.

Nagano Hiroshi caught the change in Miss Iruma's eyes and immediately understood her intention.

Is this an attempt to recreate the image of that heroic transformation?

He raised his lips into a wry smile, thinking that this spoof would probably end here. After all, he couldn't expect a special effects switch to solve everything in front of him.

However, just as he was about to cooperate and take out the magic wand to end this farce, something strange happened.

On the TV screen, the variety show that was originally being broadcast was replaced by an emergency news broadcast.

The news anchor's voice trembled slightly due to nervousness: "Emergency report, an unknown monster suddenly appeared in downtown Tokyo. Tokyo TV has suspended all programs and is fully reporting on this incident..."

It’s a big deal that Tokyo TV has stopped broadcasting animation.

Hiroshi Nagano watched the pictures on the TV news in shock. In the pictures, a gigantic monster Golza was wreaking havoc on the streets of Tokyo. Its body was covered with a rough cuticle, its eyes flashed a bloodthirsty red light, and every time it trampled the ground made it tremble.

This sense of reality could never be faked by special effects, and it made Nagano Hiroshi feel nervous.

"Golzan has suddenly appeared in the island nation of Tokyo and is destroying the city!"

There was a sense of urgency in the news anchor's words.

Almost at the same time, the ground under Nagano Hiroshi's feet began to shake violently, as if the whole Tokyo was trembling under this force.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a loud noise like a landslide, Golzan suddenly emerged from the ground, and its huge body almost covered half of the sky.

Golzan let out a deafening roar, and a ball of energy quickly gathered above his head, and then shot a purple ultrasonic beam towards the city's buildings.

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

Wherever this ultrasonic beam passed, these solid reinforced concrete structures collapsed like fragile houses of cards under the impact of the light, stirring up layers of dust that covered half of the sky.

Buildings collapsed like dominoes, explosions rang out, and dust and debris flew everywhere. Unlike the explosion scenes in movies or TV shows, this explosion did not have gorgeous flames, but only ruthless destruction and the devastation left behind.

Nagano Hiroshi watched all this in amazement. The sense of luck and joking in his heart disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by unprecedented shock and urgency.

"how so!"

He muttered to himself, deep down he didn't want to believe that what was happening before his eyes was real.

However, the drastic changes in the surrounding environment and the continuously updated disaster reports on TV news were ruthlessly reminding him that all this was so real and so urgent.

At this moment, the woman said again with an unprecedented seriousness: "Nagano-kun, now is not the time to be surprised. I remember you said that the magic stick means a lot to you. So, now is the time to make it really work."

Upon hearing this, Nagano Hiroshi's eyes fell on the magic stick in his hand again.

This is more than just a souvenir. At this moment, it seems to carry some power beyond the material, waiting to be awakened.

Although he was filled with disbelief and fear, as a former special effects actor, he felt that at this moment he might be able to play a more important role than in the drama.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, silently reciting the lines and actions that had only appeared in the play.

As he slowly raised the magic wand, a warm and familiar power came from his palm and spread along his arm to his whole body.

"But I'm not Tiga, and I'm not Madoka Daiko either. Shouldn't I ask Mr. Gondo Shunsuke and Mr. Nakamura Koji for help with this matter?"

Nagano Hiroshi muttered to himself that in the TV series, it was those professional suit actors who gave Tiga life and soul.

However, reality did not give him much time to hesitate or escape. The crying of the city, the despair of the people, and Lina's expectant eyes were all silently urging him.

Nagano Hiroshi said that he doesn't know how to fight at all.

However, now is not the time to think about this.

He raised the magic stick high and shouted loudly: "Tiga!"

Before he finished his words, at that moment, a dazzling light burst out from the magic stick, like a rising sun, enveloping Nagano Hiroshi's entire body.

In the light, he felt unprecedented strength and warmth, as if the energy of the entire universe was converging towards him.

As the light gradually dissipated, a tall and upright figure wearing silver and purple armor suddenly stood in front of everyone. It was Ultraman Tiga!
Nagano Hiroshi's consciousness merged with that of Tiga. He could feel Tiga's power as well as the pain and call of the city.

He looked down at himself, feeling both surprise and excitement, but more importantly, a sense of responsibility.

"It's time to protect my city."

Ultraman Tiga (Hiroshi Nagano's consciousness) recited silently in his heart, then turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Golzan at a speed faster than the speed of sound.

Golzam was wreaking havoc in the center of the city. Every step it took made the ground tremble, and every attack reduced buildings to ruins.
