Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

The online sensation "Tokusatsu: Starting with Ultraman Tiga," a heartfelt work by author Fang Kai Na Zhi Shaneduo, is available on Cola Novels.

After the incident with Zigela, Shen Yun focused all his attention on the Zapelion amplifier that was under construction.

He would only take a little time to inform the GUTS team when Kirino sent him information about the future, so that the GUTS team could solve the problem more easily.

Examples include the rainbow-colored monster Darabang, which drifted from space to the vicinity of the Enoden railway in Sagami Bay, and the twin aliens, Mejurang.

Knowing the intelligence in advance makes things much easier to resolve.

During this time, Horii and Ezaki Chizuru ended their nearly three-year-long relationship and got married.

Shen Yun also took the time to attend Horii and Ezaki Chizuru's wedding.

To be honest, if Shen Yun hadn't frequently offered advice to Horii, with Horii's low emotional intelligence as an engineering student, he might not have gotten this far without anyone's help.

Director Sawai, who also attended the wedding, started urging the couple to get married, much like an elder in the family.

Shen Yun could only gloss over the matter.

After attending Horii's wedding, Shen Yun continued building the complete version of the Zepelion amplifier.

Working overtime, the Zepelion amplifier was finally completed before darkness fell.

Today, Shen Yun received an email from Tong Ye.

He saw a vision of the future: the demon bird Zoga flew through the sky, destroying human cities, and citizens who couldn't evacuate in time wailed in the burning ruins.

"The ancient vanguard monster Zoga..." Shen Yun's expression was solemn.

It's time to come, it's coming.

Before Zoga appears and begins to destroy the city, he intends to notify the various countries and guide their people to take refuge.

Modern cities are densely populated, and evacuation takes a long time.

This timeframe is definitely measured in days.

Moreover, herding all the residents of the country into underground shelters without the appearance of monsters is an extremely difficult task in itself.

Shen Yun planned to consult with Ju Jiehui first.

Meanwhile, Megumi Kijima was meeting with Takashi Iwama, the head of the TPC Marine Survey Team.

When the TPC Marine Survey Team was first established, it absorbed the third division of a research-oriented company called the "Deep Sea Research Institute," and has since continued to grow and expand.

The company originally owned the 7500m deep-sea submarine "Ryugu", but its pilots and operators were transferred to TPC after the merger.

And Iwama Takashi was one of them.

"Mr. Iwama, I would like to ask your marine research team to conduct an investigation of the underwater ruins in the Crimson Islands area," said Megumi Iwama.

For some reason, Megumi Kijima was quite worried about the mysterious underwater ruins in that place.

"The underwater ruins of the Crimson Islands? You mean 'R'lyeh'?" Joe Iwama said with a smile after hearing Megumi Izama's request.

"Huh?" Megumi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Excuse me, that's what we in the industry call that place," Iwama Takashi quickly explained.

"Why is it called 'Ruruye'?" Megumi asked.

Upon hearing this, Iwama gave an awkward yet polite smile and said, "Actually... it's a name that appears in a novel."

"novel?"

"Yes, it's a strange novel from about 100 years ago."

Kijima nodded slightly, just as she was about to say something, when the door to the reception room was suddenly pushed open.

"Captain Kei, I hope I haven't bothered you. I have something urgent to discuss with you." Shen Yun walked into the meeting room.

Although interrupting someone's conversation is impolite, there's not much time to waste now.

Every minute saved can save more lives.

Seeing Shen Yun's serious expression, Izahime nodded slightly, then looked at Iwama and said, "I'll leave the investigation of the R'lyeh ruins to you."

"Understood." Iwama nodded and got up to leave the reception room.

Iwama rose to see him off, watching Iwama's figure disappear down the corridor before turning back to the reception room.

The conversation about R'lyeh gave Megumi a sense of foreboding.

However, her sixth sense told her that "it is imperative to conduct an investigation."

After seeing Iwama off, Megumi sat down opposite Shen Yun and asked, "Doctor, what's the rush?"

"Captain Kijima, you must have sensed it too, the darkness is about to return," Shen Yun said, looking at Kijima Megumi.

Megumi recalled the name R'lyeh and felt an instinctive palpitation and unease...

"Yes, I do have that feeling." Megumi nodded slightly.

If it weren't for her intuition, she wouldn't have assigned the marine survey team to investigate.

"I hope that Captain Junichiro can work with me to persuade Director Sawai and the TPC branches in various countries to transfer all citizens to underground shelters for refuge," Shen Yun said frankly.

"all?"

"Yes," Shen Yun nodded, adding, "This is also for their safety."

"Once darkness returns, the ancient vanguard will be the first to rise and destroy everything on earth."

"I understand." Megumi nodded solemnly.

Shen Yun and Ju Jianhui went to the director's office together.

Soon, TPC's asylum order was issued throughout the country.

Residents across the country, under the command of the TPC Police Department, entered underground shelters in an orderly manner to seek refuge.

The Ministry of Transportation is also sending various supplies to underground shelters across the country.

Other countries followed suit, evacuating their citizens and taking refuge in underground shelters.

The entire society came to a complete standstill, resulting in nearly a trillion dollars in direct and indirect economic losses every day.

The streets were deserted, with not a soul in sight except for TPC vehicles and police officers.

It took several days for TPC branches in various countries to relocate all the residents to the underground shelters.

Late that night, all the residents were moved to underground shelters.

Daigo, who was on duty alone in the command room, was sleeping on the computer desk. Under the red signal light, you could see that Daigo was covered in sweat and his brows were furrowed, as if he was having a terrible dream.

The zigella flowers, scattering their pollen; ancient buildings covered in vines; a city ablaze with flames; and a rioting crowd.

People wailed in fear of death.

However, all of this was swallowed up by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and the enormous Qijiela Flower stood silently in the city.

Then, a black substance that blotted out the sky covered everything again.

Daigo suddenly woke up, his breathing slightly disordered.

This wasn't the first time he'd had such a dream.

Whether it's a side effect of inhaling Zigera pollen, a memory fragment remaining in his genes, or an unfounded fear of extinction, Daigo has been having the same recurring nightmares lately.

"Destruction, darkness..."

Daigo felt a deep fear of what he had inadvertently said.

The sound of the automatic door opening rang out, and Daigo suddenly looked up.

Lina, wearing her pajamas, walked in carrying two steaming cups of coffee.

"Daigo, what's wrong?" Lina asked with concern, looking at Daigo who was covered in sweat.

"N-nothing. It's nothing." Daigo gave a stiff smile.

Lina stood blankly at the entrance, staring at Daigo, as if she were saying something.

But she only moved her lips slightly before swallowing back what she wanted to say.

Lina placed two cups of coffee on the table.

"Coffee? Thank you," Daigo said with a forced smile.

Lina stared at Daigo, then turned and left with a complicated expression.

"Lina..."

Just then, the command center received an incoming call, and Daigo quickly answered it.

"Ocean Patrol calling Victory: An unusual bulge has occurred on the seabed off the coast of New Zealand."

Daigo immediately issued an emergency order to summon the GUTS team members.

Soon, all the team members, dressed in Victory Team uniforms, assembled in the command room.

"What is it?" Zongfang asked.

"It's so serious that they woke us up in the middle of the night," Shinjo complained, zipping up his uniform.

Ye Rui ran to the main control panel, tapped a few keys, and said, "Output image."

The scene in the deep sea was then transmitted to the main screen, and an ancient city appeared before everyone's eyes.

At this moment, Lina, now in her uniform, entered the command room.

When Daigo looked at Rena, she did not make eye contact with him.

The main screen displays an unusual scene.

Although the details could not be determined due to the swaying of the seabed, a fairly large complex of buildings could be seen in the area illuminated by the searchlight.

However, whatever the original appearance of these underwater ruins may be, they must be bizarre structures that far exceed the current imagination of humankind.

Nowadays, just seeing these ruins is enough to send chills down one's spine.

"An ancient city...?" Horii exclaimed in astonishment as he looked at the image on the main screen.

Megumi looked at the screen and murmured to herself, "This...was built by humans? No...."

At that moment, a commotion arose inside the command room.

"I am Iwama from the marine survey team. I have transmitted the data scanned by the unmanned submarine."

The investigation into the R'lyeh ruins was commissioned by Megumi Kijima. They originally planned to use the Ryugu submarine to dive into the seabed for exploration, but for various reasons, they switched to an unmanned submarine.

Ye Rui analyzed the transmitted data and then said, "The exact date is still unclear, but it is certain that it was built 30 million years ago."

In that era, not to mention modern humans, even animals didn't exist...

"It's like hell..." Megumi murmured to herself, looking at the strange cluster of buildings on the main screen.

"Captain." Megumi's words made Munakata quite nervous.

"I'm sorry. This shouldn't have come from the Commander." Megumi's expression showed a hint of apology.

Suddenly, a pair of huge, blood-red eyeballs and a sharp bird beak appeared on the main screen.

With a loud noise, the main screen disappeared.

With a loud noise, the main screen disappeared.

Then, a monster burst out of the South Pacific Ocean and flew towards Australia.

Ye Rui stared at the computer screen and exclaimed anxiously, "Oh no! That thing is about to land in Australia!"

"Unit One will be deployed first," Lina said in a low voice, then quickly lifted her helmet and walked out of the command room.

Daigo looked at her with great unease.

Soon after, Munakata ordered Daigo and Shinjo, saying, "Move!"

East coast of Australia.

Zoga emerged from the sea, flew to Melbourne, and spat out a blood-red light bullet from its mouth.

The skyscrapers were mercilessly destroyed by the blood-red light blasts spewed out by Zoga, turning them into ruins.

If Australian residents hadn't already evacuated to underground shelters, this wave of attacks would have undoubtedly resulted in heavy casualties.

Zoga flew low over the city ruins, creating a sonic boom that sent rubble flying into the sky.

The area around Melbourne was completely reduced to scorched earth, with raging flames burning on the ruins.

TPC Australia's response was extremely slow; they were unable to reach the scene to snipe Zoga even after he had destroyed the city and left.

Meanwhile, Lina, piloting the Flying Swallow 1, arrived in Melbourne first and fired the Spire Cannon at Zoga, who had turned the city into scorched earth.

Several green spiked cannons were fired at Zoga's head.

Zoga easily dodged the incoming spike cannon fire, then raised its head and immediately increased its flight altitude, heading towards the sea.

Seeing this, Lina immediately maneuvered the Flying Swallow No. 1 to catch up, reaching speeds close to its limit.

"Deal with it before we get there!" Shinjo, piloting the Flying Swallow II, ordered.

"Don't try to win by speed. Daigo, go around him!" Munakata ordered.

"Understood!" Daigo piloted the Flying Swallow No. 1 and made an emergency turn at a sharp angle.

Lina's Flying Swallow 1 was closely following Zoga, but the distance between them was getting further and further apart.

Zoga's wings, resembling those of a winged insect, demonstrated an overwhelming speed advantage over the Flying Swallow No. 1.

Meanwhile, Daigo, piloting the Flying Swallow No. 1, had already circled around to the front of Zoga.

"Lina, let's begin!" Daigo said, looking at Zoga's ferocious face.

However, Lina did not respond, but silently pressed the fire button on the control stick, and several spike cannons immediately fired at Zoga's wings.

At the same time, Daigo, piloting the Hien-1, fired the Spire Cannon at Zoga's eyes.

Facing a pincer attack from the front and rear by two Flying Swallow No. 1s, the Zoga suddenly increased its flight altitude.

Zoga dodged both of the spike cannons fired by the two Hyuga-1s, and the two Hyuga-1s that were attacking Zoga from the front and rear almost collided head-on because Zoga suddenly increased its altitude.

However, as an ace pilot, Lina reacted extremely quickly, immediately pulling the control stick to change direction, and together with Daigo, they avoided each other's planes in a split second.

"It's gone up there," Zongfang's voice came through the communicator.

Lina looked up at Zoga flying high in the sky, and despite her physical and mental discomfort, she pulled the control stick to raise the altitude of the Flying Swallow No. 1 and continued to chase after Zoga flying ahead.

"Lina, this won't do!" Daigo cried anxiously as he saw Lina driving the Flying Swallow No. 1 after them.

But Lina did not respond.

"Lina, really." Daigo also pulled the control lever, raising the tower as well.

Due to the rapid ascent, the Flying Swallow No. 1 began to vibrate violently due to instability.

Inside the cabin, the beeping alarms continued incessantly.

Lina completely ignored the alarm and just stared at Zoga ahead.

Faster, faster!

"Lina! Come back quickly!" Daigo shouted as he chased after her.

Suddenly, Zoga, who was flying in front, turned around and spat out a light bullet at the Flying Swallow No. 1 that was chasing below!

Lina was startled. Seeing the light blast getting closer and closer, she quickly pulled the control lever, causing Flying Swallow No. 1 to dodge the light blast to the side.

Daigo, who was following behind Rena, was less fortunate. He had no time to react before the light bullet struck the wing of the Flying Swallow No. 1.

A burst of electric sparks erupted inside the cockpit of the Hien-1, piloted by Daigo. Alarms blared continuously, flames engulfed the wings, and the aircraft plummeted into the sea below.

"hateful!"

Just as Daigo pulled out his Spark Lens from his pocket, preparing to transform, Rena's voice came through the radio.

"Daigo! Are you alright?!"

Daigo bit his lip, unable to transform yet.

He then retrieved the magic wand to his chest and pulled the release lever to escape.

Command Room.

Horii looked at the screen on the main computer and said, "Daigo successfully parachuted. But that Rena was really reckless."

"The monster seems to have entered the ionosphere, and we can no longer pursue it," Ye Rui reported.

"Commander, let's retreat for now," said Kijimi.

"Understood." Zongfang nodded and returned to the base after rescuing Daigo who had jumped from the sky.
