Across countless worlds: Yearning to become a giant of light.

Chapter 22 Victory Team, what are you trying to do?!

Before transmigrating, Chen Lin had read many comics and novels, which described the multiverse as incredibly powerful and a very sophisticated concept.

But he had never seen these works bring this concept to the big screen.

It wasn't until the movie Ultra Galaxy Legend came out that the multiverse of the Ultraman universe was presented to him, which greatly shocked Chen Lin at the time. His impression of the concept of the multiverse was completely replaced by the scene of Zero traveling through the multiverse in the movie.

Now, he has finally witnessed the multiverse firsthand.

"It's so beautiful..."

As Chen Lin left the Land of Light universe, he gazed at the multiverse before him, engraving this scene into his database with his eyes, and involuntarily reached out his hand.

drop by drop...

However, good times are always fleeting. The dimensional core in his chest, through the color timer covering its surface, shot an indicator ray into a distant universe.

That was the Ultraman Tiga universe before Chen Lin was abducted by the Dimensional Demon.

"Pity."

Chen Lin sighed inwardly and flew toward the light indicated on his chest, transforming midway into a black sphere emitting a dim red light as it plunged into the outer membrane of the universe.

With the energy of all the Ultramen from the Land of Light clearing a path for him, Chen Lin's initial sense of rejection when traversing the outer walls of the universe didn't last long. With a feeling of ease, like returning home, he returned to the Tiga universe.

I should say that I traveled to the Ultraman Tiga universe.

And the first thing you see when you enter is the blue planet—Earth.

However, as soon as he returned, Chen Lin's new human senses were frantically alarming, as if the entire Earth were a collection of landmines buried everywhere.

"Could it be because of the sea snail?"

Chen Lin, inside the black sphere, suppressed his sensory discomfort and shook his head violently.

The new human's perception suddenly became an obstacle, forcing him to actively reject (block out) this feeling.

(It seems that some characters in UC Gundam reject this feeling, either by refusing to awaken or by awakening but completely lacking empathy for others.)
"No, that's not right! If it were a giant conch shell, I wouldn't just feel 'uncomfortable' right now! But among the monsters that Tiga has encountered, there are only a handful of truly powerful enemies... How could I possibly have such a strong reaction, and so many of them that it's making me feel completely confused?"

Chen Lin thought with some unease.

Could it be that the Ultraman Tiga universe I traveled to is also an "if" scenario, just like the Land of Light?
Or perhaps it's the world-building of a novel...

No! No!
Then I'll really look ugly!

"Let's go back to Kumamoto City and see if the camp is still there."

However, Chen Lin estimated that during the months he had been gone, he should have been officially classified as a missing person.

Chen Lin, who had transformed back into human form from the black sphere, crossed his arms in front of his chest. A torrent of black and gold photons was released from the color timer, and his enormous body, which was over fifty meters tall, disappeared into space.

Then a beam of black light descended to Earth, and a young man who looked exactly like Chen Lin in the clone space landed in a forest.

However, this is not a real human body, but a body created using a mimicry skill similar to Seven's, using a portion of energy and an external device connected to the dimensional core. Chaos's true body remains in a static alternate dimension.

To transform, you must use the Chaos Bracelet made by Hikari, extract the Chaos Spark stored within, and then transform.

Some people might find this troublesome.

However, Hikari considered that the dark power in the dimensional core might invade Chen Lin's consciousness in his human form, so he specially placed a 'consciousness lock' on the Chaos Bracelet. Only Chen Lin's own consciousness could extract the Chaos Spark from it.

Additionally, the Chaos Spark can be used not only as a melee and ranged weapon, but also as a multi-functional computer device.

As for other functions, Hikari didn't explicitly say so, but Chen Lin could roughly guess that it would be something like using Ultraman cards to use beam attacks in human form, or perhaps even summoning monsters like Reonics' Battle Device.

Whoosh! At that moment, two yellow aircraft with a distinctly tokusatsu fantasy style flew overhead.

"Victory Flying Swallow No. 1? And No. 2 too!"

Chen Lin looked up, somewhat surprised that he had encountered the Victory Team so early.

Although the interference on Earth is severe now, if the new humans' senses are slightly liberated, they should be able to hear the conversation inside Victory Swallow 1 and 2.

"Commander, we... are we called Ultraman Tiga... right?"

"Yes, the capsule... said... remember to be... prepared!"

"understand!"

Chen Lin frowned and barely managed to understand the gist of it.

I never imagined I'd be gone for two whole years!
Obviously, this was when TV was just starting out, in 2007.

He was arrested in 2005, the year the TPC was officially established and replaced the United Nations.

As for the dialogue between Victory Swallow I and II, based on his understanding of the plot, it should be:

[Commander, the place we're going to is called the Land of Ultra, right?]
[Yes, the place mentioned in the capsule's prophecy is right there. Remember to be prepared for battle!]
"What a coincidence... Oh well! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Chen Lin hesitated for only a moment before deciding to follow.

He can't miss out on the scene of Tiga's revival!

Moreover, even without using his senses, he could vaguely detect the movement of two enormous beasts advancing in the distance, which were clearly Golza and Melba!

It just felt like the noise was a bit too loud...

These are quite different from the simulated monsters I encountered during my training in the Land of Light.

Is it because of differences in the universe?
After shaking his head, Chen Lin stopped thinking about it and ran after the Victory Team, leaving afterimages in his wake.

With his superhuman physique, catching up with the Victory Flying Swallow was naturally a piece of cake, and Chen Lin soon arrived near the Land of Tiga.

However, upon arriving at the destination, Chen Lin discovered that the Victory Team had neither parked their plane in the forest nor gone to check the pyramid that had appeared in the Land of Tiga.

"Strange, why aren't Daigo and the others going to check?"

Chen Lin looked completely bewildered upon seeing this.

He might misremember the plots of other Ultraman series, but he would never misremember the plot of Ultraman Tiga TV.

In the story, when Daigo and his friends arrived at the land of Tiga, they went to the pyramid as soon as they saw it. Daigo even entered the pyramid as if he was summoned and touched the foot of the Tiga statue.

But now, not only is no one getting off, the two Victory Team planes are hovering in mid-air without any sign of stopping, and they are even pointing their noses at the distant pyramids.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lin instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Then something even more amiss happened.

The variable mechanism in front of the Victory Flying Swallow II slowly opened, revealing the muzzle of the Texas Cannon inside.

"Holy crap! What are you GUTS teams doing?!"

Chen Lin quickly took out the Chaos Spark from the Chaos Bracelet.

He no longer cared why the Victory Team had armed itself at this time.

These guys actually planned to attack the statues inside the pyramid!
Is that Saijo Nagi sitting inside?!
