Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

With a tap of the fingertip, one is instantly transported to the wonderful world of Chapter 187, "Life Endures Forever."

Asagiri Plateau.

This place has become a gathering place for many people seeking the pollen of the Zigera flower.

Upon seeing Tiga, TPC's mechs and aircraft, these humans all pleaded with each other not to harm Gijera.

However, Shen Yun ignored these humans addicted to the pollen of the Zijera and directly ordered Karen to control the mechanical Golza to fire and bombard the Zijera.

The massive firepower continuously unleashed by Mech Golza not only caused the cannon barrel in the backpack unit to overheat, but also exhausted all of Mech Golza's energy.

Those humans affected by the pollen of the Zijera flower, upon witnessing the mechanical Golza's relentless bombardment of the Zijera, went from pleading to cursing.

Shen Yun ignored the insults and simply piloted the Saber Athena towards the already wrecked Qi Jiela.

Tiga arrived in front of Gijera first, and with a swift chop, struck the base of Gijera's charred flower bud.

"Bang!"

A few brilliant sparks exploded, and Tiga's hand chop made the charred flower bud sway.

Gijera, who was attacked by Tiga, immediately launched a counterattack.

Beneath the plateau's surface, a vine bursts forth, lashing out towards Ultraman Tiga, who is right in front of it.

However, Ultraman Tiga is not a single person.

Before the vine could even reach Tiga, it was severed by Shen Yun, who arrived right behind it.

The severed vines flew high into the air before falling to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Zigela isn't particularly strong; it's just that its pollen and deep underground roots are troublesome.

Tiga nodded slightly to Shen Yun, who was piloting the Saber Athena, then grabbed the flower bud of Gijera and swung his fist to smash it.

Tiga's fist landed at the base of the flower bud, producing a dull thud.

Not far away, Luke and his daughter stood in front of the radiant spaceship, watching Tiga punch and kick Zigela.

Luke said with a complicated expression, "You, Tiga, are the first Ultraman of light to interfere with humanity's choices."

Struck by Tiga's heavy blow, Gijera's massive body trembled violently, and the charred flower bud burst open, revealing the gaping maw full of sharp teeth inside.

After letting out a piercing scream, the huge mouth stretched its neck and bit down on Tiga's wrist.

Seeing this, Shen Yun swung his beam saber and slashed at the large mouth that had stretched out its neck like a flower bud.

The plant-like mouth, resembling a flower bud, immediately released its grip on Tiga's wrist upon sensing the approaching danger, spraying a large amount of yellow pollen at Tiga and Shen Yun.

Because they were so close, Tiga and Shen Yun didn't have time to dodge and were sprayed in the face with Qi Jiela's pollen.

The extremely dense pollen completely obscured Shen Yun's vision, so he could only rely on his memory to slash at the location of that huge mouth.

However, he didn't feel like he had actually hit something.

The strike missed its mark.

The broken flower blooming on Qijiela's chest, its bud-like mouth, after retracting, sprayed pollen again at Tiga and Saber Athena, who were standing close by.

The dense pollen sprayed onto Tiga and Saber Athena, staining their bodies with a layer of pollen color.

The dense pollen completely enveloped Ultraman Tiga and Saber Athena.

Seeing the large amount of pollen in the air, Karen could only control the Victory Swallow EX-J to circle around behind Zigela.

Such a high concentration of pollen, once ignited by the Victory Jet EX-J, would immediately cause a dust explosion.

Both Ultraman Tiga and Athena Blade piloted by Shen Yun are now enveloped in the falling pollen and within the blast radius.

While spraying out a large amount of pollen to confuse Tiga, Gijera also swung its two remaining intact vines at Tiga, who was right in front of it.

"Bang!"

Zigela's vines lashed out at Tiga's chest armor, sending sparks flying.

"Screech!" Tiga let out a painful groan as his massive body crashed to the ground, denting the highland grass.

Seeing Tiga suffer a setback, the onlookers immediately cheered.

And these pollen grains of the Zigera flower, permeating the air, are virtually everywhere.

Even though the Saber Athena's cockpit was well-sealed, a large amount of pollen still drifted in through the exhaust vents inside.

Although most of the pollen was filtered out by the air filter, some pollen still drifted into the cockpit of Saber Athena.

The pollen emitted from the buds of the *Cyprinus cigidra* flower is far more effective than the pollen dispersed by the flower itself.

After inhaling a small amount of Qijiela pollen, Shen Yun also showed a slightly dazed expression.

But Shen Yun quickly snapped out of his daze.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to stay awake, and said, "Karen, increase the pain sensitivity of the neural connections."

"Increases pain sensitivity?"

"Yes, using pain to mask the effects of Zigera pollen is currently the best solution," Shen Yun said calmly.

"I understand." Karen nodded, silently increasing the pain level of the neural connection feedback.

Shen Yun looked at Qi Jiela, whose intact vines quickly wrapped around Tiga's neck as he fell to the ground, and continued to tighten.

Tiga knelt on one knee, grabbing the vines wrapped around his neck with both hands, intending to tear them off.

Golden high-voltage current surged from Gijera's body, then flowed into Tiga's body along the vines.

The intense electric shock caused Tiga to cry out in pain, and most of his strength in his hand dissipated instantly, leaving him helpless as Gijera continued to discharge electricity.

"Go for it, Zigela! Go for it!" The people on the ground cheered for Zigela.

"Dad, let's burn the roasted lily bulbs."

In the crowd, a little boy grabbed a man who was cheering for Zigela and said, "Tiga, he's so pitiful."

The beautiful dreams created by the pollen of Zigela are not as alluring to children as they are to adults.

It can be said that children are the ones who are most likely to recover from the effects of pollen.

Upon seeing this, Shen Yun immediately drove the Athena Saber to the rescue.

Before Shen Yun could get close, Qi Jiela sprayed a thick layer of pollen at Saber Athena.

At the same time, several vines sprouted from the ground and wrapped around Saber Athena's body from different directions.

"Ka...Lian!" Shen Yun whispered.

Upon hearing Shen Yun's voice, Karen pursed her lips and issued the attack command.

Then, Victory Swallow EX-J fired two Neil Rays at Saber Athena's back.

The green laser struck the back of Saber Athena, instantly exploding into a violent spark.

The pain in his back brought Shen Yun back to his senses.

At that moment, the vines that had emerged from the ground by Zigela were already in front of him.

Shen Yun immediately swung his sword and cut the attacking vines in one stroke.

However, because the vines came from different directions, one of them still managed to wrap around Saber Athena's left arm.

Golden electricity flowed along the vines wrapped around Saber Athena's arm, leading to Saber Athena's body.

The high-voltage current instantly flowed throughout the body, and the amplified pain feedback caused Shen Yun to let out a muffled groan.

At that moment, a pale yellow ray of light suddenly flew from behind Saber Athena and accurately struck the vines wrapped around Saber Athena's arm.

"Bang!"

A burst of sparks erupted from Zigela's vine, and the vine that had been wrapped around Saber Athena's arm snapped in two.

Shen Yun looked back and saw a yellow Flying Swallow II slowly flying towards them.

"You're here." Shen Yun looked at Flying Swallow II and smiled.

……

A few minutes ago.

TPC headquarters.

The atmosphere inside the command room was very quiet, and everyone was listless.

Ye Rui looked at the pop-up notification on the computer desktop in front of him, forced himself to stay alert, and reported to the leader: "Captain, the hangar door suddenly opened, and Saber Athena, Mecha Golza, and Victory Swallow EX-J have all been deployed."

"They've all been mobilized? Who's driving?" Megumi asked in surprise.

"I don't know. Both the Victory Swallow EX-J and the Mecha Golza are unmanned. But the one piloting the Saber Athena should be the Doctor," Nori replied.

"Doctor...?" The members of the GUTS team also showed surprise.

At that moment, the main screen in the command center suddenly lit up, displaying the scene on display.

The scene shows Tiga and Saber Athena working together to attack Gijera.

Then, Shen Yun and Karen's conversation was also heard in the command room.

Watching the sparks explode on Athena's back, Sawai, sitting in the main seat, let out a soft sigh and said with a wry smile:

"It seems I'm really getting old; the PhD has far more courage than we do."

After inhaling the pollen from the Zijra plant, their minds seemed to have become somewhat clouded, and they had forgotten the purpose of TPC.

The TPC exists to maintain peace and protect humanity.

Now, the Qijiela flower has become a threat to world peace and the survival of mankind.

"Fine, let me suffer too. Go burn Qi Jiela down, and let's all move on to the new era!" Xin Cheng slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and said.

"You're right, that's what we're fighting for!" Lina nodded in agreement as she looked at Tiga, who had been knocked down by Gijera's vines.

"We can't let the Doctor and Tiga fight alone! Captain!" Munakata looked at Megumi.

"Commander, immediately pilot the Flying Swallow II to support the Doctor!" Megumi nodded and said immediately.

"Understood!" The Victory Team members immediately set off.

……

Asagiri Plateau.

Seeing the vines severed by the Texas beam on the screen, Zongfang immediately said, "Alright! One more shot! Rescue Tiga!"

"Understood!" Lina responded, pushed the control stick, and piloted the Flying Swallow II towards Ultraman Tiga.

"Come on!" Horii glanced at the vines wrapped around Tiga's neck and began to calibrate the error.

"Come on!" Horii glanced at the vines wrapped around Tiga's neck and began to calibrate the error.

After calibrating the error, Xincheng immediately pressed the launch button.

"Bang!"

The pale yellow Texas beam struck the vines that were wrapped around Tiga's neck, and the vines snapped in two.

Tiga immediately pulled the vines that were wrapped around his neck, stood up again, and quickly walked to Athena's side.

In the air, Victory Flying Swallow EX-J and Victory Flying Swallow II flew on either side.

"Whoosh—"

From beneath the ground, several more vines shot out, attacking Tiga and Saber Athena.

Shen Yun piloted the Saber Athena forward, wielding the beam sabers in his hands to sever all the approaching vines.

Tiga immediately began to gather his strength, his hands quickly forming an L shape, and a white Zepelion Ray shot out from Tiga's right arm.

At the same time, the Texas beam from Flying Swallow II and the combined beam from Victory Flying Swallow EX-J were also fired simultaneously.

Several beams of light of different colors accurately struck Zigela's mangled body, causing his massive form to explode and release a cloud of yellow pollen mist.

This is the last pollen from Zigela.

Upon seeing Gijera eliminated, Tiga's body went limp, and he knelt on one knee, the color timer on his chest beginning to flash.

Zigela's clone was destroyed. The roots above ground are rapidly shrinking underground.

Shen Yun, who was prepared, quickly stepped forward, raised the beam saber in his hand, and slammed it into the ground.

"Tiga! Pull it out by the roots!" Munakata shouted.

Tiga immediately stepped forward and grabbed Gijera, who was pinned to the ground by the beam saber.

Tiga gripped Gijera tightly with both hands, and his body glowed with a crimson light.

The light energy within Tiga's body rapidly converged at the color timer on his chest. The purplish-red energy transformed into streams of electricity, surging from Tiga's hands into Gijera's roots, and then flowing down along Gijera's roots into Gijera's main body.

Ultraman Tiga's high-temperature explosion!

"Boom!"

Deep underground, the roots of Gijera exploded under Tiga's attack.

The violent explosion completely shattered the roots of Zigela, and the flames from the explosion engulfed the entire underground space, burning the remains of Zigela to ashes, leaving no trace of life.

The flames from the explosion transformed into several pillars of fire, which spewed out from the hole leading from Qijiela to the ground, as dazzling and brilliant as fireworks, illuminating the grassy area of ​​Chaowugao as bright as day.

Ultraman Tiga's milky-white eyes stared at the pillar of fire before him, his chest heaving as the color timer on his chest flashed incessantly.

Humanity overcame this test and entered a completely new era.

With the destruction of Zigela, the spaceship that Luke and Dina were on, along with themselves, dissipated into light particles.

"Thank you, Tiga." Luke, who was about to dissipate, looked at Tiga and smiled slightly.

"Thank you," Dina said crisply.

Tiga slowly stood up, looked at Luke and his daughter in the sky, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to kill you both."

"It's alright, Tiga," Luke said with a smile. "Thanks to you, we've learned what true life is."

"True life?"

"To live one's short life to the fullest and leave one's achievements for future generations—this is how humanity grows and develops, over and over again. It's truly remarkable."

As he spoke, Luke's gaze fell on Saber Athena again, and he smiled and said, "You're right. Humans possess more than just desires; they also possess many other beautiful things. And those of you who have overcome desires will surely be able to overcome that demon."

After saying goodbye, Luke and Dina waved to the two of them and then disappeared into the sky.

……

Command Room.

"Ah!" Shinjo spun around in his chair, stretching, and said, "I suddenly feel so refreshed. Now that I think about it, why was I seduced by Zigela? I really don't understand!"

Horii slapped Shinjo on the head and said, "How dare you say you're the first person to inhale pollen?"

Xincheng was taken aback for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Really?"

Looking at the two lively characters, Megumi smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of which, I really admire the Doctor. Even though the Doctor also ingested the pollen of Zigela, he resisted the temptation of the pollen and, knowing that taking action against Zigela would be to go against the world, chose to destroy Zigela."

"Perhaps it was because of the doctor's choice that Tiga did not abandon humanity."

"Yes." Zongfang nodded in agreement.

"No, if it were just the Doctor, even Tiga wouldn't be able to destroy Gijera so easily. In the end, it's humanity itself that makes the choice," Daigo said with a smile, looking at the GUTS team.

As he spoke, his gaze, along with that of the rest of the Victory Team, fell upon the withered Qijiela flower placed in the corner of the command room.
