Land of Light: I am Supermodel Tiga, One-Punch King

He even dreamed of the destruction of the world in the ancient era more than once.

To this end, he founded the Cedric Company and began his efforts to save the world.

Until the giant stone statues of the pyramids were destroyed.

Until Reg transforms into Ultraman Tiga and defeats the monster.

The raging fire of jealousy nearly reduced Masaki Keigo to ashes.

I clearly have the qualities to become a savior, and I have made so many efforts.

But why wasn't I the savior?

Masaki Keigo is obsessive, arrogant, and prone to jealousy.

But it cannot be denied that he is a scientist, and a scientist who is working hard to save humanity.

Masaki Keigo is also selfless, noble, and steadfast, possessing an unwavering willpower.

These admirable qualities calmed Masaki Keigo down, and he sat on the stone bench, forming a triangle with Reg and Kirino Makio.

"My name is Reg, and this is Makio Kirino." Behind Reg, the phantom image of Ultraman Tiga flickered.

The light energy unique to Ultraman gave Masaki Keigo a sense of familiarity.

"So, what brings you here? How did you know me?"

Is my savior so exceptional that even you, who became Ultraman, have to come and see me?

Because of Masaki Keigo's pride, he didn't say the last sentence aloud.

Kirino Makio's lips curled up slightly.

“Every human being on this planet has ancient genes from 30 million years ago. You are not special.”

Reg immediately attacked Masaki Keigo's proudest point.

"Impossible! You're talking nonsense!"

As expected, Masaki Keigo broke down, and his voice unconsciously rose in volume.

Then a string of technical terms came out of Masaki Keigo's mouth.

Reg didn't really understand anything about light particle conversion, ancient relics, or special light genes.

Masaki Keigo spoke so quickly, so anxiously, and even with a hint of fear.

He sacrificed everything to save humanity from the crisis of destruction, because he was the special savior.

However, now that the successor of light has said it himself, you are not special, this is a huge blow to Masaki Keigo.

As for lying?

How could the inheritor of light and the savior of mankind lie?

"But it's extremely rare for someone to have such a high concentration of ancient genes as you."

"Excluding the idealistic factor of mind and consciousness, you are more likely to become light than most people."

Once Masaki Keigo's voice had lowered, Reg spoke again.

Masaki Keigo: "..."

Damn it, speaking in such a halting, breathless manner will get you killed!

Chapter 20 The identity of the savior requires a competitive selection process.

"This is the device that transforms humans into light particles, and it's also the transformation device that made me Ultraman Tiga, the Spark Lens."

Reg took out the Spark Lens from his pocket, and both Masaki Keigo and Kirino Makio stared at it.

This small, seemingly crystal marble-like light stick is probably the most important secret on Earth.

Hold it.

He casually handed the Spark Lens to Masaki Keigo.

Before Reg traveled through time, he had seen many stories of transformation devices being lost or stolen, rendering them unable to transform.

Therefore, after obtaining the Spark Lens, Reg's first priority was to free himself from his dependence on it.

It's cooler to transform with a Sparkler, but it doesn't matter if you don't have one.

Besides, he wasn't Daigo, so Masaki Keigo couldn't take it from him, nor could he transform using the Spark Lens.

Unless, of course, the other party is Ultraman's human form.

Then there is even less need to worry.

"Light Spark..."

Masaki Keigo looked at the Spark Lens, which shone brightly in the sunlight, exuding a sacred aura.

At this moment, I feel so close to becoming light.

With a trembling hand, Masaki Keigo slowly grasped the Spark Lens, then gripped it tightly.

A warm feeling emanated from the Spark Lens, allowing Masaki Keigo to feel the light genes within his body also cheering with joy.

However, that’s all.

Masaki Keigo tried his best to activate the light within his body and transform into Ultraman.

'The Spark Lens alone isn't enough; to truly transform me into light, a great deal of research is needed.'

Masaki Keigo remained silent and returned the Spark Lens to Reg.

"You're quite interested in the giant statue fragments collected by TPC, aren't you?"

"Yes."

Masaki Keigo narrowed his eyes.

However, he planned to thoroughly research the light particle conversion technology before finding an opportunity to steal the stone statue fragments from the TPC base.

How did Reg know?

Mind reading?

"The darkness of destruction, the ruler of darkness, possesses a power that is difficult to describe in words."

"However, the enemy can easily destroy human civilization, which would be a catastrophe for us."

"The other side is still asleep in the temple of the Pacific Ocean, we still have time."

"I can't break free from fate on my own."

Reg looked towards the southern sea.

Kirino Makio couldn't help but say, "It was indeed terrifying; it was a horrifying darkness."

In his premonitions, he also witnessed Gatanothor's global darkness.

He just didn't care before and gave up.

Masaki Keigo frowned.

He dreamt of the ancient times being destroyed by darkness, and after discovering the light gene within him, he embarked on the path of saving humanity.

But the person who has transformed into light is right in front of me, what else can I do?

"Perhaps it was the light genes within you that guided you to choose this location for the company."

"Right here, underground, lies a giant stone statue."

Reg pointed to the ground beneath his feet.

The giant stone statue of light, similar to that of Ultraman Tiga, is also hidden within a pyramid-like barrier.

It will only be activated when encountering someone with a very strong light gene.

"You mean you'll help me become Ultraman too?" Masaki Keigo's eyes were full of doubt.

I made up my mind that I would find the stone statue soon and start my research.

"It's not about helping you, but about helping the potential savior of humanity."

Reg remained unfazed. "Actually, I have higher hopes for Daigo from the Victory Team than for you."

"Victory Team?" Masaki Keigo raised a disdainful smile.

Although the GUTS team is composed of elites, it's nothing special to Masaki Keigo.

"Daigo possesses the same genetic makeup as you, and is equally selfless, noble, and determined."

"Although I am not as good as you in scientific knowledge and other aspects."

Masaki Keigo was secretly pleased and said more.

"However, Daigo is an upright and gentle person with the courage and kindness to fight for the weak. He may have some shortcomings, but he is a better candidate than you."

"You need to study light particle conversion technology to turn yourself into light, but for Daigo, a bright and beautiful heart is enough."

Masaki Keigo fell silent again.

After a long pause, Masaki Keigo finally spoke: "I understand. You mean that on my path to becoming light, I became too obsessive and stubborn, and changed my original intention?"
