Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"Grandma Sakura... I'll have to trouble TLT-J to take care of her for now."

When this topic came up, Subaru's expression darkened, and he said weakly in a low voice:

"I'll take care of my mother-in-law after I've defeated Dark Zagi and the Alien Beasts."

"Okay, let's move on to the next thing."

Matsunaga Yoichiro had anticipated the weight of the topic of Sakura Kiyomi, which was why he addressed it first, making it easier to change the subject. He adjusted his glasses, looked at Gen Subaru, and continued:

"Subaru, do you have any leads on the newly appeared Dark Giant? That Dark Giant seems to be quite effective against Nexus."

"It's not about restraining Nexus, it's about restraining me."

When this topic came up, Matsunaga Yoichiro noticed that Minamoto Subaru's expression had darkened further. He glanced at Ishibori Mitsuhiko and Hiraki Shiori beside Subaru, but neither of them seemed to know what was going on. Subaru continued, sounding somewhat pained:

"Because...that's my father, I can feel...that blood-related intimacy."

Gen Subaru wasn't lying. Although the moment he was embraced by the Dark Giant was quite painful, the boy did indeed feel a strange emotion because of it. It was an emotion that touched the depths of his heart even more than the embrace of Granny Sakura. Coupled with the various reactions during the fusion, Gen Subaru really couldn't find any other reason to deduce that the giant wasn't his father.

"It was wishful thinking on my part... My father... was not a hero in the traditional sense."

Yuan Mao lowered his head, whispering dejectedly. Those standing beside him were people who had heard the boy talk about his dream of a 'heroic father.' The pain of seeing that childhood-held belief shattered in an instant was unbearable. But just as they were about to offer some comfort, they saw the boy raise his head and say in a firm tone:

"However... that's all in the past. What's with all this talk about heroes? As long as we can eliminate Dark Zagi and the Alien Beasts, we're all heroes. Don't worry about me, let's get back to business."

092 Dyna, you've called the wrong person.

He's just putting on a brave face.

Although Gen Subaru's face appeared calm, those who knew him were aware of his heroic admiration for his father. If he were alone now, he would definitely be in an emotional state.

"In that case, let's call it a day."

Matsunaga Yoichiro closed the folder, adjusted his glasses, and said:

"Although there are still many things I want to ask you, those questions are not as high priority compared to others. You have just gone through a tough battle, so go and rest first."

"Okay, call me anytime if you need anything."

Subaru nodded and turned to leave. After the boy left, Shiori Hiraki frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then turned to Mitsuhiko Ishibori and Kaname Matsunaga and said softly:

"Um...is it just my imagination? I have a feeling that Subaru seems to have gotten shorter."

"no."

Mitsuhiko Ishibori and Yoichiro Matsunaga exchanged a glance, then said softly:

"Still such a big guy."

"I still feel like I'm too short... Never mind, that's not important. By the way, Manager Matsunaga, where's our captain?"

"Captain Hecang is currently handling matters related to the fighter jets. You can go and lend a hand later..."

While Matsunaga Yoichiro and the others were discussing the arrangements, Gen Subaru sat blankly on the bed in the room, just as the others had predicted, feeling utterly bored. However, he quickly shook his head and cheered up. Well, those things were no longer important. What was important was to quickly improve his strength. Right now, he was not only busy with the development of the Ultra Bomb, learning the Ultimate Cross Barrier, and drilling the light-dark conversion, but also with adapting to the new form. He didn't have time to think about anything else.

So, Gen Subaru grabbed the sleep stick and used it on himself, sending him into the Deep Blue Space. This time, after a slight hesitation, the boy decided to click on the 'Tiga' icon. He would need Daigo Madoka's help for the next training session.

Therefore, in another universe, Daigo Madoka, who was sleeping soundly, tilted his head and fell into an even deeper sleep...

"Subaru-senpai!"

Daigo Madoka opened his eyes and saw the familiar deep blue ceiling. He immediately realized where he was and scrambled to his feet, instinctively calling out. Subaru Gen smiled and waved at him, saying softly:

"Mr. Daigo, I hope I haven't disturbed you."

"No, no, I was just sleeping."

Daigo Madoka quickly waved his hand, then thought for a moment and said somewhat embarrassedly:

“Subaru-senpai, you should just call me Daigo. Calling me Mr. Daigo sounds weird.”

"Then keep it simple, just call me Subaru. I don't have that much seniority to call you 'senpai'."

Subaru responded with a chuckle, then his expression turned slightly serious as he looked at Ultraman Tiga's human form and said:

"Daigo, I have obtained a new power, but I cannot unleash its true strength on my own, so I hope to get your cooperation."

"no problem!"

Upon hearing this, Daigo Madoka agreed without hesitation, then belatedly asked:

"Um, Subaru, do you want me to spar with you?"

To be honest, after watching Nexus fight Eltaga, Daigo Madoka didn't know what others thought, but he absolutely refused to be an opponent of such a giant of light. It was too powerful. Putting aside everything else, he felt he couldn't handle just that [Clone Ultra Bomb].

"No, this time you'll be my teammate."

Subaru pulled up the character selection screen and signaled Daigo Madoka to transform quickly. Then, projections of Ultra Warriors Orb, Ginga, Victory, Gaia, Agul, X, Dyna, and Cosmos appeared and decisively fired beams at Tiga.

Subaru! Isn't this a bit too exciting?!

Seeing the light pollution-like beam attack hurtling towards them, Daigo Madoka's expression immediately changed. At the same time, on the other side, the expressions of the people trapped in the Ultra Projection also changed. They were already fed up with the previous group's brutal killing of Subaru, and now there was Daigo Madoka. What the hell was this dream? Was it designed to kill their comrades? If it had the guts, it could conjure up an alien or a monster!

Just as everyone put on the Pain Mask, a pure white band of light appeared and transformed into a shield in front of Tiga. Although he had to step back slightly when catching these beam attacks, and fine cracks appeared on the shield, all the beam attacks were completely transformed at the very moment the cracks appeared.

Then, amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, the shield spun in place, reflecting light like a mirror, and then a rainbow of light shot out, accurately striking the projections of the Ultra Warriors.

"Subaru, what's this... huh?"

Seeing this, Daigo turned his head in surprise, only to see an Ultra Warrior he had never seen before standing behind him. If he wasn't sure he remembered correctly, he really wouldn't have recognized Gen Subaru.

There was no way around it; the boy in Nexus form was a brute, and the boy in Dark Ultra Warrior form was even more murderous. But in this new form in front of him, Daigo Madoka felt no brutality whatsoever, only unparalleled gentleness and naturalness. Even if Subaru was standing upside down washing clothes, he wouldn't feel any curiosity, as if that was how he was supposed to be.

"This is my new ability. From now on, you don't need to worry about those projected attacks. Just attack them. I'll handle the rest."

Subaru used telepathy to tell Daigo Madoka what to do next. Daigo immediately switched to his red, powerful Tiga form, punched his right palm with his left fist, and then went straight to meet the projections of the Ultra Warriors.

To be honest, Daigo Madoka was genuinely a little scared at first, after all, there were just too many Ultra Warriors and too many attacks coming at him, it looked like he was about to die.

At the same time, streaks of pure white light appeared out of nowhere beside Tiga. These streaks of light danced around Tiga like dragons, accurately intercepting every attack.

After absorbing a certain amount of energy, the light band contracted into a ball, transforming into long spikes. Following Subaru's will, it rushed towards the designated Ultra Warrior projection, interrupting his pre-action animation, or it charged towards the Ultra Warrior projection closest to Tiga on its own.

And that's not all. When Tiga seized Gaia's opening and prepared to unleash a powerful electric punch, a vine-like white light band entangled the other Ultra Warrior projections that were trying to sneak up on him. Another light band merged into Tiga's electric punch, causing it to emit a milky white light. Then, as Tiga's punch was unleashed, Gaia's Ultra Warrior projection was instantly enveloped by the massive fist shadow and died instantly.

Did I type this?

Daigo Madoka looked at his fist in surprise. That punch must have had the power of a finishing move. What kind of magical power did Subaru obtain?

Just as Daigo Madoka was surprised, suddenly, all the white light bands disappeared. The reason was simple: the newly born light was not very long-lasting. After supporting Daigo Madoka in destroying the Gaia Ultra Warrior projection, before the surrounding Ultra Warrior projections could make a move, Subaru Genji turned into white light particles and died from exhaustion.

So... this light... is directly linked to my life force. I need to remember that...

As Subaru Minamoto lay dying, he secretly noted this down, and then...

No, even in this deep blue space, my light doesn't seem to be fully restored with each rebirth.

The boy discovered another unusual change, which surprised him. But since that was the case, he had to be more careful in choosing which form to train.

Thinking of this, Gen Subaru didn't continue to forcefully train this new form. After using up almost all of Pure White Light, he simply switched to Nexus and used the combination of [Clone Ultra Bomb] with a 'whoosh'. Moreover, this time the self-destruction was a five-shot combo!

That's right, Subaru has already completed the initial development of this technology. The principle is not difficult: it delays the explosion time of each part, allowing the limbs that explode later to convert the energy that the former failed to fully utilize during the explosion, thereby further enhancing the power of their own explosion and achieving the effect of the [Clone: ​​Ultra Cluster Bomb].

However, this skill still needs further improvement. The intervals between the explosions of these different parts are a bit too long, making it easy for enemies to find openings to exploit or escape, which would be counterproductive.

but...

Gen Subaru looked at the explosion in front of him and let out a satisfied sigh.

This feels so good! This is how you should fight, so satisfying! Okay, Daigo, hang in there, I'm coming to help you!

Although he went to help, he only managed to hold out for a short while with Daigo before dying under the concentrated fire of the Ultra Warriors. However, after noticing that Daigo was somewhat dazed after his death, Subaru stopped the training and told him to go back and rest. He himself continued to ponder the combination of the 'Ultimate Cross Barrier' and the Meta Domain in this deep blue space.

Meanwhile, on another Earth, Takayama Gamu awoke with a start, his white shirt soaked with cold sweat. He gasped for breath, ran his fingers through his hair, got out of bed, grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat from his body, then scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face to clear his head. He then lay back down on the bed, intending to rest some more, since he still needed to continue researching Gen Subaru's flesh and blood the next day to find a way to save him from the fate of cellular disintegration.

But after getting into bed, Takayama Gamu realized that he had kicked the blankets to shreds. He took a deep breath, feeling that this was not good, got up, put on his coat, and went to Fujimiya Hiroya's door. He was about to raise his hand to knock, but hesitated, wondering if he would disturb him. But if he left, Takayama Gamu felt that since he was already there, going back would only make him feel like he couldn't sleep better.

So, Takayama Gamu kept performing the same repetitive action in front of Fujimiya Hiroya's door: "Knock, then turn away, then come back, knock again," until Fujimiya Hiroya's door was suddenly flung open. Fujimiya Hiroya, wearing a white shirt, put his hand on the doorframe and looked at the startled Takayama Gamu with an annoyed expression, saying:

"In the time it takes you to walk in front of my door, we can finish talking about everything. Come in."

Hearing this, Takayama Gamu gave an awkward smile, quickly ran into Fujimiya Hiroya's room, sat down in a chair, but didn't know how to start the conversation, so she awkwardly tried to find a topic to talk about:

"Hey, Hiroya, you're still awake too? Haha."

Upon hearing this, Fujimiya Hiroya's hand, which was pouring water, trembled slightly. He coughed, cleared his throat, and said in a low voice:

"Yeah, I wasn't asleep. What brings you here? Just say it. We both have important things to do tomorrow."

"That...that..."

Feeling a little embarrassed, Takayama rubbed his hands together, and finally whispered somewhat shyly:

"I had a nightmare and can't sleep."

What a coincidence, me too.

Although Fujimiya Hiroya thought the same thing, he didn't show it. He simply nodded, subconsciously took the water that was supposed to be handed to Takayama Gamu, sipped it, and said softly:

"Dreaming is normal, it's nothing to worry about, it could also be due to being tired."

"But...but...my dream was too evil!"
