Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

"This is Zigela..." Daigo stared at the monster on the main screen.

Luke gazed at the flower bud on Zigela's chest and said calmly, "Once it blooms, all of humanity will believe that this world is paradise. Thus, the Giant of Light will lose his reason for existence."

"The Giant of Light..." Daigo looked at Gijera and suddenly realized, "Is this how they left Earth before?"

"Yes." Luke looked at Daigo and Shen Yun and said calmly, "For humans who are mentally schizophrenic and addicted to pleasure, there is no need for giants of light."

"Then, the last thing to come will destroy everything."

"The last thing to arrive?" Daigo asked with some doubt.

"You mean the ruler of darkness?" Shen Yun interjected.

"The ruler of darkness...?" Daigo turned to look at Shen Yun.

"Yes," Luke nodded, "It is a terrible darkness, a colossal demon. It will shroud the earth in endless darkness until it falls asleep again."

On the main screen, as dusk approaches, Zigela's activity begins to decrease.

The continuous spread of pollen gradually stopped.

Zijra's influence is waning.

Looking at the image on the main screen, which showed that the Zigela had stopped moving, Lu Ke explained, "Zigela is, after all, a plant. Its activity level decreases as the sun goes down, and it will start moving again when the sun rises."

"Then why don't we just have humans work together to uproot Zigela at night?" Daigo asked.

Upon hearing Daigo's words, Lu Ke smiled slightly and said sarcastically, "There were also some pathetic wretches in ancient times who tried to do the same thing."

"But Tiga, human desires run even deeper than the roots of Gijera," Luke said meaningfully, looking at Daigo.

"Human desires are indeed terrifying." Shen Yun nodded in agreement at first, then changed the subject, saying:

"However, humans possess more than just desires; they also possess many wonderful qualities that can create miracles."

"I believe that we humans will never follow the same path as you ancient people."

"That's right!" Shen Yun's words were echoed by Daigo.

"I'll wait and see."

"Then just watch closely. Humanity has never lacked the courage to defy fate!" Shen Yun stared at Lu Ke and said, word by word.

If the extinction of humanity is truly humanity's fate.

All he wanted to say was, "Screw fate! My destiny is in my own hands, not in the heavens!"

Lu Ke was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and said, "I hope you succeed."

After saying that, he looked down at Dina and said:

"let's go."

"Um."

Luke took Dina away from the command room.

Watching Luke and his daughter leave, Shen Yun turned to Karen and asked, "Karen, how long will it take you to take over the entire base?"

"It would take about 15 minutes to take over the entire base," Karen replied after a moment's thought, tapping her lips with her index finger.

"Okay." Shen Yun nodded, then turned to Daigo and said, "Daigo, we'll be leaving in 15 minutes."

……

After the sun sets, Zigera's influence on humans diminishes.

Humans were suddenly brought back to the real world from the world of dreams, and they felt extremely distressed.

So they gathered together and searched for the pollen of Zijella.

"Zigera, give me pollen!"

Give me pollen!

But why would Zigela respond to these people's requests?

Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Karen successfully took control of the entire base.

Karen withdrew her hand from the main system, and the icy blue halo in her eyes gradually faded.

"I have taken full control of the base system."

"Daigo, it's time to go," Shen Yun called to Daigo.

"Doctor, shouldn't we discuss this with the captain and the others? Now that Zigela's activity has decreased, the captain and the others should be more alert by now," Daigo asked Shen Yun, puzzled.

"It's no use." Shen Yun shook his head and said, "Once you've inhaled Zigela's pollen, it's very difficult to get rid of Zigela's influence. They suddenly fall from a beautiful dream into a cruel reality, and this sense of separation will only make them suffer and want to escape reality and enter the beautiful dream again. For people like this, nothing you say will work."

"But Doctor, you've already gotten rid of it, haven't you? The captain and the others are all elites of the Victory Team. With their willpower, they'll definitely be able to get rid of Zigera's influence," Daigo said.

"Daigo, this has nothing to do with willpower. As long as people still have desires in their hearts, and still have expectations and longings for beautiful things, it's difficult to escape the influence of Cigela." Shen Yun looked at Daigo and said very seriously, "I was able to escape the influence of Cigela simply because I have very few desires on a material level, and more desires on a spiritual level. Although spiritual desires can be satisfied in dreams, such dreams are too unreal and I can't immerse myself in them. That's why I was able to wake up."

Even so, it took him nearly three hours to break free from the beautiful dream created by Zijera after inhaling the pollen.

Zigela created many dreams and experienced countless temptations.

In the world of dreams, he can easily get whatever he wants.

In other words, he has experienced several worlds and has enjoyed most of the things that are meant to be enjoyed.

This resulted in him having very low desires in material matters, and he preferred to create everything he wanted with his own hands.

Perhaps this is his secret weapon: he rarely gives him finished products, only blueprints and relevant knowledge.

This fostered in him the habit of wanting to create everything using his own brain and hands.

That's why he wasn't tempted by the beautiful dream created by Nazierla.

But others don't have his rich and varied experiences.

Once you enter that world of tempting dreams, it's really hard to escape.

After listening, Daigo remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand. Let's go."

"That's true, but we still have plenty of time. It's okay if we take a little longer. Go ahead and do it if you want," Shen Yun said with a smile, looking at Daigo.

"Yes." Daigo smiled and immediately went to the main computer in the command room to contact the GUTS team members who had regained consciousness.

Command Room.

As Zigela's activity subsided, the Victory Team members also awoke from their blissful dream.

If the Victory Team hadn't been such a well-trained group, they probably would have made a fool of themselves just like ordinary people.

However, without Zigela's pollen, the members of the Victory Team all looked listless, as if they hadn't woken up properly.

Daigo was painstakingly explaining the dangers of Zigela to the GUTS team members.

"It's just a bud now. When it blooms into the giant Qijera Flower, humanity will never be able to stand up again! We must now call on the whole world to destroy all the Qijera Flowers tonight!" Daigo said emphatically, looking at the dejected members of the GUTS team.

"I'd like to do that too." Shinjo looked a little hesitant and said, "I know, I know Zigela isn't a good person, but I don't know why..."

"Once someone has been tempted by Zigela pollen, it's not so easy to quit." Zongfang gently rubbed his temples to try and rouse himself.

"It's embarrassing, I really wish I could inhale Zijra's pollen again," Zongfang said bluntly.

"Perhaps, Zigela is a gift from Earth to us?" Lina asked hesitantly.

"We don't need this kind of thing!"

Daigo gazed intently at the GUTS team members and said earnestly, "Everyone can say in unison to Earth, 'We are in great pain, but even in the face of such pain, we will achieve a dream even better than Gijera's!'"

Megumi looked at Daigo and asked hesitantly, "But what if humanity chooses Gijera?"

"Daigo, if humanity is truly facing extinction, do you have a way to save all of humanity? For someone who is about to die, who doesn't need to suffer, they would naturally choose Zigela," Horii said.

"When did everyone become so cowardly? Are humans really that weak?!" Daigo looked at the GUTS team members, feeling very sad.

"The pollen of the Cigela has allowed most people to experience a world of happiness that is even greater than reality." Director Sawai, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them and said slowly, "If we attack the Cigela, then the whole world will be our enemy."

Hearing these words from Director Sawai, Daigo sat back down in his seat, feeling utterly defeated.

He now understood why the Doctor wasn't planning to communicate with the GUTS team.

Daigo stood up with a gloomy expression and walked out of the command room without saying a word.

Outside the command room.

Shen Yun was leaning against the wall of the corridor with his arms crossed, waiting for Daigu to appear.

After seeing Daigo come out of the command room, Shen Yun came to Daigo's side, patted Daigo on the shoulder, and said:

"Let's go. Let's do what we have to do, what we have to do as human beings."

"Yes!" Daigo nodded vigorously, his eyes becoming firm.

"I'll go first." Shen Yun put down his hand on Daigo's shoulder and quickly walked to the maintenance area where the Athena Saber was parked in the hangar.

The maintenance crew is all acting crazy right now, so Shen Yun has to do it himself.

After putting on the motion-sensing suit, Shen Yun once again entered the cockpit of the Saber Athena.

The last time he piloted the Saber Athena was during its initial testing.

Shen Yun put on his helmet, secured himself to the control panel, and instructed the main computer of Saber Athena: "Karen, you are now in charge of controlling Mecha Golza and Victory Swallow EX-J."

"Okay, please leave it to me with confidence." Karen's voice rang out from the cockpit.

The main computer of Saber Athena was incorporated into Kallen's neural network when Saber Athena was created, becoming one of her neural nodes.

After everything was ready, Karen opened the hatch of the TPC hangar.

At the same time, she also controlled several transport planes and operated them unmanned through the systems inside the planes.

Two mechs and the Victory Swallow EX-J departed from the hangar simultaneously, heading towards the Asagiri Plateau.

Daigo did not go to Asagiri Plateau with Shen Yun, but instead came to the street outside the base.

Watching these people fighting tooth and nail over a single flower, Daigo recalled his conversation with Yuzare.

"Ultraman will not interfere with human choices, because they are light."

"But you are different, because you are both light and human."

Daigo stood on the shore, watching the mechs and Victory Swallow EX-J fly out from the TPC base.

He heard a voice from the depths of his heart.

Daigo, go do what you believe is right!

Daigo took out the Spark Lens from his pocket and raised it high.

The magic wand now emitted a dazzling light.

In this warm light, Daigo transformed into a ball of light, caught up with the flying mecha, and flew together towards the Asagiri Plateau.

Soon, they arrived at the Asagiri Plateau and saw the Qijiela standing tall on the land.

"Boom!"

Three enormous creatures crashed down in front of Zigela.

The humans near Gijera, seeing Tiga and TPC's mechs and planes appear, all spoke up, pleading with Tiga not to destroy Gijera.

As soon as the mechanical Golza landed, the two cannons slung over its shoulders immediately opened fire on Qijiela.

Fireballs were continuously launched from the cannons on the shoulders of the mechanical Golza.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten fireballs were launched and arrived in front of Zigela in an instant.

Fire is the most effective way to deal with plants.

This was a strategy that was planned from the very beginning.

As night fell, although Qijiela's mobility decreased, it was not entirely oblivious to the dangers posed by the outside world.

Faced with the mechanical Golza's backpack cannon, the immobile Zigela was suddenly surrounded by many tentacles.

These tentacles formed a sturdy net at incredible speed, blocking all the fireballs launched from the backpack cannon.

"Boom!"

The fireball launched from the backpack cannon struck the large net and exploded with a deafening roar, sending blazing flames soaring into the air, accompanied by the faint smell of burning plants.

Under Karen's control, the mechanical Golza unleashed its powerful firepower at Zijera, an immovable target.

The backpack cannon kept firing in rapid succession until the barrel overheated before it slowly came to a stop.

After the mechanical Golza stopped firing, the rising flames gradually dissipated, and the massive figure of Gijera reappeared before Shen Yun and Tiga.

"Crackling and popping!"

The large net, composed of Zijra's tentacles, was blasted open, leaving a huge gap. The edges of the gap and other parts were still burning fiercely and crackling loudly.

Zijella, who was behind the large net, also looked quite miserable.

Its body was charred black by the flames, half of its body and the tentacles on its head were blown off, and half of the flower bud on its chest was burned, revealing its huge mouth inside.

Although Zijella looked quite miserable, it didn't bother her at all.

As long as the root system of the zigella is still intact, fruiting bodies like this can grow back at any time.

"It's our turn." Shen Yun slowly exhaled, drew two beam sabers from behind Saber Athena, and said, "Only after we destroy the sub-entity of Qijera will its root system appear. Only by destroying its root system can we completely destroy it."

Standing to the side, Tiga nodded slightly and then assumed a fighting stance.

Then, the two enormous creatures charged towards Zijra at the same time.
