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

"Daigo, do you remember why I chose to train you instead of Shinjo or Horii?"

In the passenger seat, Reg looked out the window at the scenery, his voice tinged with complexity.

Well, if Masaki Keigo really does become light, then things will get interesting and complicated.

"Because my body has a higher concentration of optogenetic genes." Daigo naturally remembered the reason.

What is optogenetics?

"The fighting genes of those giants from the ancient times have been reflected in the present through history." Daigo was even more puzzled. Wasn't this what you told me back then?

"That's right. It can be said that every person on Earth has the light genetic factor of the giant of light in their body."

Reg turned to Daigo and asked, "What would happen if this light genetic factor were fully activated, turning humans into light?"

"Turn humans into Ultraman?" Daigo blurted out, but then his eyes widened. "How is that possible?"

Seeing that Reg only smiled and didn't speak, Daigo's eyes widened: "It can't be true, can it? You guys are doing this experiment?"

As he spoke, Daigo thought of Yuzare from the time machine.

He understood the final, discordant sound: it transformed humanity into light...

Could it be that the current Ultraman Tiga is a human in disguise?

"Even if humanity becomes light, it will still only be light."

"If there is no vast amount of energy to convert into a body, then we can only rely on the existing body, which is the giant stone statue."

"Even with giant stone statues and the relevant technology, not everyone can become light."

"Only humans like Daigo, with extremely strong genetic makeup, can do it."

Seeing Daigo become wary, as if he felt he was being taken away for an evil biological experiment, Reg smiled.

"But Ultraman is a special life form of light, and his power is extremely strong. Except in certain situations, if a human wants to master Ultraman's power, he must have a heart of light."

"Otherwise, if you use madness, hatred, resentment, and resentment to turn light into something else, then you're not Ultraman, but a monster that looks like Ultraman."

"Daigo, you have a bright heart."

"And at our destination, we also have a giant stone statue."

"Daigo, think about it first. If you really became Ultraman, how would your life change?"

Hearing Reg's explanation, Daigo's vigilance relaxed considerably.

Based on their previous interactions, Reg doesn't seem like the kind of person who supports insane biological experiments.

If I became Ultraman, how would my life change...?

If I were to transform from a human into Ultraman, would I still be an Earthling?

And this is definitely a big secret, should we tell the GUTS team?

Becoming Ultraman certainly enhances one's survival abilities, but it also entails the responsibility of fighting monsters.

Can I do as well as Ultraman Tiga?

With Ultraman Tiga transformed by Reg as a precedent, Daigo didn't have the same thoughts as before, such as fighting alone or wondering why he was chosen.

The car traveled all the way to Kumamoto Prefecture.

Daigo also thought seriously about what he should do after transforming into Ultraman.

"Here, get out of the car."

The car stopped in the plaza in front of the Sadiq Company building, and Regla got out of the car.

Suddenly, Reg turned to Daigo and said with a smile, "Oh, right, the technology that turns humans into light was developed by Masaki Keigo, the president of this company."

"You should know him, the president of the Tiga support group, the one who provided the electromagnetic psionic bullets and holographic combat helmets before."

"More importantly, he has the same high level of photogenic genes as you."

So, the one who conducted this experiment to turn humans into light was actually Masaki Keigo?

Dagu: "..."

I'd been thinking about it the whole way here, and you only tell me now that it was all just wishful thinking.

Reg and Lucia knew the way well and led Daigo from the building into the underground passage, eventually arriving at the cave where the giant stone statue stood.

Masaki Keigo and Kirino Makio turned to look at Daigo.

"Is this Daigo, the team member who's like a brother to me? He looks pretty ordinary."

Masaki Keigo stood on high ground, looking down at Daigo, his scrutiny undisguised.

"You're Masaki Keigo?"

"You're a genius for developing technology that can turn humans into light."

Daigo didn't seem to care. His gaze swept over the various facilities on the high platform and the towering giant statue, his eyes filled with amazement.

"Hahaha, not bad, I really am a genius!"

"Once I succeed, I will also strive to guide you to follow in my footsteps and become light, so that we can save the Earth together!"

Masaki Keigo subconsciously straightened up, and his feelings of goodwill towards Daigo immediately increased significantly.

"Alright, enough of that, let's get to the experiment."

Reg interrupted Masaki Keigo's narcissism.

"The evolution from humans to light is a magnificent sight, but unfortunately only a few people were present."

Masaki Keigo sighed in disappointment and turned to walk towards the circle of instruments.

Reg, Lucia, Daigo, and Kirino Makio stood below, looking at Masaki Keigo on the high platform.

Start with the button.

Powerful energy flowed within the instrument, quickly transforming into light waves with a special frequency that continuously shone on Masaki Keigo.

Masaki Keigo's expression was serious. His body gradually became translucent under the light waves, and specks of golden light shone within him.

Swish!

After reaching a certain level, Masaki Keigo suddenly pulled out a short sword from his waist that looked exactly like a magic wand.

That is the light particle converter that Masaki Keigo created himself, based on the working principle of the light stick.

As the light energy within his body surged into the converter, the short sword opened to both sides, and Masaki Keigo instantly transformed into a burst of light!

Under the unwavering gaze of the group, Masaki Keigo's light drifted toward the timer on the giant stone statue behind him.

However, unexpectedly, the light could not enter the timer no matter what it tried. After several attempts, the light landed and turned back into Masaki Keigo.

Swish!

Holding a short sword, Masaki Keigo suddenly turned his head to look at the giant stone statue that looked very similar to Ultraman Tiga.

After a moment of silence, Masaki Keigo spoke in a hoarse voice: "I can feel it, the statue is rejecting me."

Reg: “…”

In the original storyline, when Masaki Keigo forcibly transformed using the Spark Lens, you didn't know how to refuse at all.

Now that they've reformed and want to become the light, you're rejecting them without hesitation?

"This stone statue is not suitable for you, not because your skills or your spirit are lacking."

Kirino Makio shook his head.

"You predicted this all along?" Masaki Keigo looked at Kirino.

“You are very confident. Even if I tell you, you will still feel that you can change the future.”

Kirino's voice was calm, "But why be discouraged? You can create a stone statue that is perfectly suited to you."

"Ha, then we'll have to steal something from TPC."

Masaki Keigo turned off the equipment, seemingly recovering from the failed experiment, and then walked towards Daigo with a complicated expression. "Team member Daigo, why don't you give it a try (of Wang Zhao)?"

It wasn't that the giant rejected me.

Rather, it is the opponent's weak power that cannot bear the powerful light of Masaki Keigo!

That's it!

I don't care about it anyway, so I'll leave it to you, Daigo!

"I……"

Daigo accepted the short sword from Masaki Keigo with a start, then his pupils suddenly contracted.

This thing looks like the hilt of Reg's sword!

"The original is called the Spark Lens or the Spark Prism. This is a replica, which I named the Spark Sword."

Seeing Daigo's disbelief, Masaki Keigo chuckled, "That's right, just as you think, Reg is Ultraman Tiga."

Since Reg had brought Daigo along, he naturally didn't care about his identity being exposed.

When Daigo looked at him questioningly, Reg simply took out his Spark Lens and waved it.

"I see!"
