Ultraman: Old Tom was actually a tsundere

Chiba slumped into his seat and took off his glasses.

He felt guilty for not being able to repay Renlong's help and couldn't get past his conscience.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Tigris is a monster, he has never come to the ground to harm humans.

The so-called "gaining the upper hand" is a complete joke.

Shi Shi's face was tense, and he was not in a good mood.

Now that things have come to this, he only hopes that the monster will be destroyed by the underground penetrating bomb.

Otherwise, the enraged monster will surely wreak havoc.

"How is the evacuation work going in Tsumura-cho?"

Atsuko said, "70% is complete."

All that's left in the stone chamber is to pray.

"The underground penetrating projectile will hit the target in 5 seconds."

"5, 4, 3, 2, huh?"

Shi Shi's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong?"

Atsuko turned her head, her expression strange.

"The underground penetrating missile missed its target."

Chiba suddenly raised his head.

"How is this possible?" Shi Shi rushed over.

"It has disappeared from the radar."

Atsuko replayed the recording she had just seen.

Sure enough, the small dot representing the penetrating bullet disappeared without a trace just before hitting Tigris.

Ishimuro and Chiba exchanged a glance, both thinking of Xia Yu.

Hiiragi's launch room was in complete chaos.

"How could it disappear? Are you kidding me?"

"Find it! Find it for me!" Hiiragi roared, and success was just around the corner.

Just as everyone was in a state of panic and confusion, a new alarm sounded.

"Commander, outer space! Missiles are attacking from outer space!"

Atsuko's voice trembled, "Yes, it was that underground penetrating bomb from just now!"

"What did you say?!"

Shi Shi looked at the satellite image and immediately understood.

Xia Yu pointed humanity's weapons at himself, intending for humanity to reap what they sowed.

However, is he really going to do that, or is this just a warning?

"The destination is Tsumura-cho."

"Should the Lightning Team intercept them?" Staff Officer Chiba hurriedly asked.

Shi Shi frowned.

"It's not that easy; even if the interception is successful, it could lead to many consequences."

"For example, Team Lightning might not have enough time to escape."

"Furthermore, underground penetrating bombs are nuclear weapons, which will cause light radiation, shock waves, and nuclear electromagnetic pulses, etc., with a huge impact."

Sacrifice Kajio and the others? Chiba couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Is this your purpose to make humanity taste the bitter fruit?" Chiba murmured to himself.

Ultimately, Team Lightning was sent out, even if it meant the loss of three members.

It's better than doing nothing.

Hiiragi was shocked by the result and also understood what Xia Yu meant.

"Damn monster," he cursed under his breath, his face grim, showing no remorse whatsoever.

The turrets around the missile chamber rose up, their muzzles pointing towards the sky.

He would not yield, even if it meant death.

I quickly learned of this news and guessed who had done it.

Unexpectedly, he appeared very calm and showed no intention of transforming.

Kuroda Megumi, standing nearby, asked curiously, "Aren't you worried?"

I shook my head. "Xia Yu must have his reasons for doing this."

"Just wait patiently."

Kuroda Megumi smiled knowingly and brushed aside the strands of hair that had been ruffled by the wind.

"I didn't expect you to trust him so much."

"He is a very approachable person. I wonder how I ended up listening to him."

Looking back now, I'm so glad I listened to him.

Kuroda Kei was filled with emotion. If it weren't for Xia Yu's efforts, Renlong's resentment would have only deepened and might have already erupted.

I nodded in my dream.

"Sometimes I even feel that he is a prophet sent by Earth to guide us."

He had no doubt about Xia Yu's motives.

Because if he really wanted to harm humanity, Xia Yu had countless opportunities before.

The person in question had no idea that Iya and Kuroda Megumi were criticizing him.

He was looking up at the sky with his eyes half-closed.

Your plan is quite interesting, but have you considered what would happen if Gaia intervened?

"I'll beat him up if he makes a move," Xia Yu said naturally. "Besides, I don't think he'll show up."

Oh? You're that confident?

"Um, maybe a little bit."

As he spoke, Galactron's ring glowed.

Facing certain death and preparing to intercept, the three fighter jets entered the space tunnel and then flew out again at low altitude.

Kajio and the others, still looking completely bewildered, hadn't yet recovered their composure.

"Xia Yu is determined." Shi Shi was very nervous.

He, after all, didn't understand Xia Yu's temperament as well as I did.

He was even less willing to gamble on the terrible consequences.

However, there's not much XIG can do right now.

Hiiragi stared intently at the sky, his soldierly spirit ignited.

"Even if I die, someone else will complete this plan."

"Earth monsters, your death is nigh!"

A deafening rumble shook the earth.

The Earth monster seemed to hear his inner roar and crawled out from underground.

First, a pair of long horns emerged, followed by a pair of long, horn-shaped ears.

Its pupils were yellow as it roared at the sky.

Hatred flashed across Hiiragi's eyes, as if the scene of his subordinates dying tragically was replaying in his mind's eye.

"Aim the cannon at the monster, fire!"

Hiiragi ignored the danger in the sky and was determined to take revenge.

A barrage of artillery of various calibers exploded on Tiguris's body, sending sparks flying everywhere.

General effect.

Tiguris was protected by the earth's energy and only felt pain.

It roared at the sky, ignoring Hiiragi and taking the hits with its body.

"What is it doing? Why isn't it fighting back?"

Blinded by hatred, Hiiragi still doesn't realize the reason for Tiguris's appearance.

Until Tiguris's two horns coalesced into an earth-yellow sphere of light that shot into the sky.

Hiiragi finally vaguely grasped something.

"Commander, Tiguris has fired the underground penetrating missile!"

As soon as Atsuko finished speaking, a dazzling light shone in the atmosphere, even temporarily obscuring the sunlight!

Shi Shi's heart sank.

Just as he was about to say something, two figures made him swallow his command back down.

Galactron MK2 and Gaia had appeared in the atmosphere at some unknown time.

Gaia let out a low shout and erected a huge protective shield, while Galactron exaggeratedly opened a massive spatial portal.

Before the explosive energy dissipated, he decisively threw the messy explosive device away.

Xia Yu originally intended to teleport to outside the solar system, but the explosive energy was too strong and affected the stability of the space gate. In the end, a grand fireworks display was set off in the dark universe between the home planet and Mars.

Tiguris was unharmed.

Humanity is safe and sound.

The Earth is safe and sound.

Except for one exhausted young man.

Xia Yu knelt on the ground, panting heavily, his whole body soaked in sweat.

Because his power was exhausted, he was forced to break free from his fusion with Gala.

Fortunately, the remaining strength allowed him to land safely, otherwise he would have been killed.

Look at you, I told you it's a very simple thing, why do you have to make it so complicated?

[He almost got himself killed, what an idiot!] Torregia cursed.

Using the monster's power also depleted Xia Yu's own physical strength.

That spatial portal just now almost drained him dry.

With a thud, Xia Yu simply lay down on his back with his legs in the air.

"Lying down is still the most comfortable."

"I knew I shouldn't have posed; no one was taking pictures anyway."

"Old Tu suggests you try it later."

He smiled and gasped, "It's the taste of heroism, so sweet it melts in your heart."

[No hero in sight, just a dead dog lying on the roadside. Want to claim it?]

"You're just jealous."
