Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"...I see."

Gen Subaru nodded stiffly, picked up the syringe and the instruction manual below, and after reading them, he took off his shirt, aimed the syringe at his heart, and plunged it in without hesitation, injecting all the medication in one go.

Immediately, the beating heart quickly delivered the drug to Gen Subaru's entire body. The veins all over the boy's body bulged out, like strange snakes coiling around him. The painful groans that came from his throat made people frown in empathy.

Matsunaga Yoichiro and Kirasawa Yu left the room, leaving everything to Minamoto Subaru alone. But no matter who it was, even the deceased Mizuta Ichinō firmly believed that the boy could overcome this challenge.

Outside the door, Matsunaga Yoichiro and Kirasawa Yu stood silently on either side, with medical personnel on standby behind them, listening as the groans from Minamoto Subaru inside the room gradually subsided until they disappeared completely.

After waiting a while longer, Matsunaga Yoichiro waved his hand, and medical personnel burst in, carrying the unconscious boy onto a stretcher and rushing towards the medical department.

At the same time, seeing himself in the deep blue space, Gen Subaru realized that he had fainted in reality. The boy silently sat down on the ground, took off his jacket with a stern face, crumpled it into a ball, buried his face in it, his shoulders trembled a few times, and then a muffled cry of grief echoed in the space—

Nexus is currently TLT's most effective weapon against Alien Beasts. Although no one has said it, everyone can feel that these victories have given TLT-J members even more confidence in the future.

So... if I, as the one who is capable, cry too much, people will think I'm being childish, and they'll think it's a bit unreliable to entrust the future to such a crybaby.

But... I'm all alone here, so I can cry however I want, Mr. Mizuta. This gift... I don't want it...

The boy, buried in his clothes, cried bitterly, venting his inner emotions. But after a while, the crying gradually subsided. The boy lifted his face from under his coat. Although he was still sniffling and sobbing, his eyes revealed an unprecedented chilling look.

I shouldn't cry. Crying is a waste of time and pointless. I should focus on training. As long as I eliminate Dark Zagi, as long as I eliminate that bastard, everything will be alright... everything will be alright!

Gen Subaru wiped away his tears, sniffed hard, and silently summoned the character selection interface, decisively choosing 'Tiga'.

Only by becoming stronger can I repay Mr. Mizuta and the others for their sacrifice!

I must become stronger! I must become stronger!

"Wow... this sleepiness is so lucky."

On the other side, Daigo Madoka, lying on the bed, let out a sigh of relief. It arrived just in time for his lunch break; he didn't have to worry about scaring the captain and the others into sending him to the infirmary again... *puff*... *puff*...

Before Daigo Madoka could finish his thought, he fell into a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the familiar deep blue space and the unique perspective of Ultraman Tiga.

But this time...

Daigo Madoka was stunned for a moment, then tried to control Ultraman Tiga's body.

I can control it now, that's so great!

Just as Madoka was feeling happy, a sudden whooshing sound sent him flying before he even realized what was happening. At the same time, the pain in his cheek made him almost faint.

Nexus, who had originally intended to give chase, stopped his attack when he saw Tiga flying away.

Something's not right. Tiga shouldn't have been hit by that attack; I should be the one flying out.

Sensing something was wrong, Gen Subaru frowned, deactivated his transformation, and wondered if there was a bug. He was about to go to the character selection screen to choose again when he heard the sound of light particles dissipating behind him. He turned around and saw a somewhat simple-minded young man making eye contact with him.

"Hello?"

"who are you?"

Countless question marks appeared above Gen Subaru's head. This is Ultraman Tiga's true form? Impossible! How could Ultraman Tiga not recognize me? Wait, let me think...

'However, I have many successor statues. Once my light merges into this space, I'll see if I can find you a few decent successors to be your rivals.'

Oh, I remember now, so this is the 'not bad successor' that Tiga-senpai was talking about.

Subaru glanced at Daigo Madoka, composed himself, and said politely:

"Hello, my name is Gen Subaru, and I am the host of Ultraman Nexus."

"Hello, I am Daigo Madoka, the one who transforms into Ultraman Tiga."

Daigo Madoka, somewhat reserved, quickly took over the conversation. Then, Subaru Genji took out the Evolution Trustee and said earnestly:

"Now that you've come here, you must already know the whole story. I just don't know if you're skilled in hand-to-hand combat or light-based techniques. Could you please tell me so we can have a better sparring session?"

"Huh? Huh?? What's the story? This...this...I'm not really good at sparring..."

Clearly, this conversation left Daigo Madoka bewildered. He quickly waved his hand, trying to interrupt Subaru Gen's next move. The boy thought for a moment, then sat down on the spot, patted the ground, and gestured for Daigo Madoka to sit down as well.

"It feels a bit messy, Mr. Daigo Madoka, let's sit down and sort it out properly."

"okay!"

Daigo Madoka quickly sat down and went over the intelligence with Subaru Minamoto one by one.

So it turns out that Mr. Daigo Madoka was watching from inside during the last battle. No wonder the special effects of these two Tiga projections were completely different from the other projections. So that's where the change came from.

But... Tiga-senpai...

This Mr. Daigo Madoka is a successor who has only transformed once. You want him to be my opponent... Although it's a bit rude, it's a bit like bullying him. Do you want me to help you train the newcomer?

Gen Subaru sighed helplessly in his heart.

I'm still only a mediocre person myself, how can I teach others? Should I teach them how to self-destruct? Seriously...

Wait a minute, this clone self-destruct skill combination actually seems like it can be taught.

Forget it, let's talk about it later. I'm not in the mood to teach right now.

Gen Subaru pulled his wandering thoughts back, looked at Daigo Madoka in front of him, and said softly:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Daigo Madoka, I didn't know there was such a situation as yours. I will try my best to avoid it in the future..."

'I don't want to die, I don't want to die...'

Huh!? X2

Just as Gen Subaru was expressing his apologies to Daigo Madoka, a soft call echoed in the Deep Blue Space, and Daigo Madoka saw Gen Subaru's eyes instantly sharpen.

"Excuse me, I've encountered some problems here, so I'll have to..."

"So, you're going over there to help, right?"

Daigo Madoka hesitated for a moment, then interrupted Subaru Gen, and said seriously:

"Although I'm still a newbie, I'm also an Ultraman, so could you take me there? I'd like to help out."

Daigo Madoka did think that way, but he also had some other thoughts. He could tell that Subaru's emotions were a bit off; he had probably just been crying. He was a little worried about this, since the boy in front of him looked like he was only in high school.

"...I've never led anyone before."

On the other side, Gen Subaru thought for a moment and said softly:

“I can try to take you there, but if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me immediately.”

"Ok."

After saying that, Daigo Madoka grasped the hand that Subaru had extended. Then, his vision turned gray and all sorts of chaotic sounds filled his ears. When he came to his senses, he found himself in a new world, a world where people's faces were filled with terror.

Daigo Madoka wanted to ask someone about the situation, but Subaru Gen grabbed him. Only then did Daigo Madoka notice that he and Subaru Gen were still emitting a golden light.

and....

It seems there's no need to ask anyone anymore.

Following Gen Subaru's gaze, Daigo Madoka saw the boy hiding behind the trash can. It seemed that his call had reached the deep blue space.

"What happened?"

Gen Subaru walked up to the boy and asked softly:

"You were the one who just said 'I don't want to die,' right? Can you tell me the details?"

"Big brother, are you... an angel?"

However, the boy was still stunned by the dazzling golden scene and had not yet recovered from it, so he looked at Gen Ang and murmured.

"No, they were just enthusiastic passersby who came to help. So, can you tell me what happened?"

"That, that... they're from underground!"

The boy pointed southeast, grasped Gen Subaru's hand, and said excitedly:

"Tomorrow morning, the subterranean people will kill us all, and their monsters will be stationed on the sea!"

"I see, I understand. You should go home now, and we'll take care of the rest."

Gen Subaru gently pinched the boy's nose, chuckled, and sent him home. Then, after the boy's figure disappeared, Daigo Madoka saw the smile on Gen Subaru's face vanish instantly, replaced by a chilling aura that sent shivers down his spine.

"Mr. Madoka Daigo..."

"Just call me Daigo."

"Mr. Daigo, it's time to leave."

"Okay, I'll go call a taxi...wait!?"

Daigo Madoka was astonished to see himself enveloped in a ball of red light. Then everything around him began to rush backward. When he came to his senses, he found himself at the seaside in the southeast. Here, he could clearly see the four-horned monster standing in the sea.

"I'll go first, Mr. Daigo, you find an opportunity..."

"Ultraman, what are you doing here again!"

Just as Subaru was about to transform into Nexus to fight, a resentful voice rang in their ears. Subaru and Daigo looked in the direction of the voice and saw a strange projection, completely shrouded in a cloak, appear, speaking in an accusatory tone:

"Your Ultraman Zero from the Land of Light has already been here. This is a conflict between two different civilizations within our Earth. Ultraman cannot get involved. Hurry up and leave, or if you are accidentally injured during tomorrow's judgment, don't say I didn't warn you!"

077 is Max's old rival.

"We don't..."
