Chapter 334 Faith! The Seed of Light Takes Root and Sprouts!
……

"Up!"

Nexteer's figure flashed, instantly overtaking The One and blocking its path.

"Huh?" The One was stunned, looking at Next in disbelief as he suddenly appeared.

The speed was so fast that it didn't have time to react and crashed headfirst into it.

"Ha!" Nexter swung his fist, which was surrounded by blue light, and slammed it down hard on the ugly head that was crashing into him.

Bang-!
boom--!
A shockwave from the collision exploded in the sky.

The One suffered a severe head injury, most of his teeth were knocked out, and his body was sent flying uncontrollably.

"No...no...impossible..."

Even though they weren't fully integrated, their power was so immense.

Why is this happening?

why? !

Next had no idea how devastated The One was at that moment.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't bother to care.

He decisively pressed his advantage, initiating [Mach Flight] to pursue the enemy, and then swung his arms to launch two [Particle Light Blades].

Zheng——!
Zheng——!
Two blades of light streaked across the sky, precisely striking The One's wings and slashing down cleanly.

Having lost its wings, The One completely lost its ability to fly, and its flight changed from inverted to plummeting.

boom--!
The One crashed onto the ruins, kicking up clouds of dust.

It shakily got to its feet, and asked in disbelief, "Why...why do you, without being fused, still possess such immense power! Why is this happening?!"

"I do not know why either."

Nexteer slowly landed in front of The One, and Shunichi Maki's calm voice rang out, "I only know that as an Ultra Warrior, I absolutely cannot lose."

As children, we loved the heroic stories of Ultraman.

In my memory, Ultraman, no matter what difficulties they encountered or how powerful the enemies were, never gave up in order to protect humanity, and fought until the final victory.

He knew that it was just a beautiful story created by humans, and what he was facing was the stark reality...

So what?
When his childhood dream came true and he became an Ultra Warrior, he understood and accepted this mission.

Back then, he naively regarded Ultraman as a faith.

As I grew older, I learned that Ultraman warriors did not exist, and my faith in them faded away with age.

Now the situation has changed again.

Ultraman is not a fictional character in a story; he is a real being that exists in this world!

The faith that had faded in my heart was rekindled.

At the level of consciousness.

The Next finally determined Maki Shunichi's role for him.

Did you treat him as a faith...?

No, to be precise, what Maki believes in is the Ultraman spirit of the Ultra Warriors.

His existence simply allowed Maki to rediscover this faith.

Was it influenced by those stories?

So, what about other humans?

Do they also harbor such feelings deep in their hearts?
Those who created and spread the story of "Ultraman" on this planet have planted a seed of light in advance.

"..."

"..."

The One wouldn't listen to any explanations; it simply didn't want to accept the reality that it couldn't eliminate The Next.

"Give me, go to hell!"

"Roar!"

With a roar, countless insects composed of alien beast cells surged out from behind The One, rushing towards Nexter like a black mist.

Om-!
Nexter neither defended nor retreated. He calmly raised his hands, and a burst of light particle lightning energy gathered between them.

If you can't use light skills, then create one yourself!
With an intense will to protect, Maki Shunichi burned his own life force and launched his final attack!
[Super Evolution Stream Ray!!!]

With his arms clasped together, a surge of blue light, like flowing stardust, erupted forth, instantly piercing through the oncoming black mist and striking The One squarely in the chest.

"Roar!" The One tried to resist, but was unable to escape the suppression of this light.

It was being impacted and kept moving backward.

"Haha!"

Maki Shunichi let out a life-or-death cry and increased his energy output once again.

The [Super Evolution Stream Ray] was enhanced, and in an instant, the ray pierced through The One's chest.

The One paused, then began to break down into molecules from its chest outwards, its massive body rapidly collapsing.

Ultimately, under the baptism of the [Super Evolution Stream Ray], The One turned into countless blue specks of light and dissipated with the wind.

The lives it devoured returned to their original places along with these specks of light.

The battle... is over.

As Next gazed at The One's location, his body of light turned into specks of light and vanished from the world.

Consciousness plane.

With a satisfied smile on his face, Maki Shunichi said to Nexter, "We won. We protected this world."

“Hmm.” The Next nodded.

"Haha..." Maki Shunichi laughed heartily twice, then said, "Although it's simpler than I imagined, I can feel that my body is about to give out."

Evolving into the blue youth form certainly brings a lot of improvement, but maintaining the transformation and releasing light also consumes a significant amount of life force.

The fact that they have been able to persevere until now is a miracle created by willpower.

"Come on, as we agreed before, please let me merge with you."

"..."

The Next did not respond immediately to Maki's request. With a pair of radiant eyes, they calmly looked at Maki Shunichi and finally shook their heads.

"What's wrong?" Maki Shunichi asked, puzzled.

The Next replied, “You have completed the mission I gave you, but Maki, your fate is far from over.”

"A new mission awaits you. Go back to your family; they need you more than I do."

"Huh? No!" Shunichi Maki suddenly realized that The Next was trying to sacrifice themselves to save him and quickly stopped them, "No! You can't do that..."

The Next did not give Shunichi Maki a chance to refuse.

The color timer on his chest projected the light of life into Shunichi Maki's body.

"Thank you, Maki."

Words of gratitude echoed in my consciousness.

A blinding white light flashed, and Maki Shunichi was momentarily disoriented. When he regained consciousness and opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the smiling faces of his wife and son.

"I should thank you, Ultraman."

Maki Shunichi felt grateful, then sat up on the lawn, smiled, and patted his son's head, saying:

"Xiaomeng, Dad heard your cheer. You helped Dad defeat the monster."

"father!"

"..."

a few days later.

The appearance of Ultraman warriors and monsters has made the Ultraman series a global phenomenon once again.

Tsuburaya Productions was naturally thrust into the spotlight as well.

As the chairman of the Tsuburaya Foundation, Jugglus Juggler voluntarily accepted interviews from major media outlets around the world.

"Mr. Chairman, the 49th episode of 'Ultraman Tiga' that you directed pays homage to director Tsuburaya Productions, the creator of 'Ultraman'. The plot involves director Tsuburaya encountering Ultraman, which leads to the creation of the story about 'Ultraman'. Is this really just a homage?"

"If it's not a tribute, does it mean that director Tsuburaya knew about the existence of Ultraman and monsters in this world a long time ago?"

"Ha ha……"

When asked this question, Jugglus Juggler looked at the reporter, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, and a signature wicked smile appeared on his face.

"Who knows."
