Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

"Woof!" Gedi ran ahead, glancing back every now and then, afraid that Shen Yun would be left behind.

Shen Yun followed behind Gadi, traversing the somewhat rugged and remote mountain path.

This should be the area around Mount Yatsugatake.

Looking at the cluster of mountains in the distance, Shen Yun roughly understood his location.

Gaddy led Shen Yun to a cliff with a crevice in it.

"Woof woof!" Gaddy turned around and barked at Shen Yun a few times before running straight into the crevice.

Shen Yun arrived at the crevice in the cliff and examined it.

The light inside was dim, and the gaps were not very wide, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

If a person wants to go in, they can only do so by turning sideways.

However, this little dog, Gedi, moves in and out with ease.

"Woof woof!" came Gedi's urging voice from inside the gap.

Shen Yun turned sideways and entered the crevice of the cliff.

The crevice was initially very narrow. After walking for over a hundred meters along the cliff face in extremely low visibility, the surrounding space became much more spacious, allowing people to walk normally.

Ahead, a faint golden light shone.

"Woof!" Gedi stood at the end of the tunnel and barked at Shen Yun several times, seemingly urging Shen Yun to catch up quickly.

Shen Yun walked out of the tunnel and was greeted by a golden space and two huge stone statues within it.

"Woof!" Gedi raised its paw and scratched at Shen Yun's trouser leg, trying to get Shen Yun's attention.

Shen Yun lowered his head and looked at Gaddy.

Gedi raised its paw, pointed to its master's statue, then pointed south, and then poked Shen Yun with its paw.

Seeing Gadi's gesture, Shen Yun also showed a hint of surprise and asked, "You want me to inherit your master's power to fight Gatanothor?"

"Woof!" Gedi nodded.

"But without the photogene converter and the magic light stick, I'm powerless," Shen Yun said with a wry smile.

He's not Daigo, who can turn into light directly.

As soon as Shen Yun finished speaking, Gadi anxiously bit Shen Yun's trouser leg and dragged him toward the stone statue.

Shen Yun arrived in front of the stone statue and looked up at the huge stone statue that looked just like Ultraman Tiga.

"Woof!" Gedi barked softly at Shen Yun, then raised its paw and pressed it against the stone statue.

Shen Yun followed Gaddy's example and placed his hand on the stone statue.

The next moment, his consciousness arrived in a space filled with light.

The silhouette of a giant radiating endless light came into Shen Yun's view.

Upon seeing the giant's outline, Shen Yun had a sudden realization.

If he reaches out and touches the giant's light, he too can become light.

"This..." Shen Yun looked at the radiant silhouette of the giant before him, his heart pounding faster.

The warm light seemed so close, as if he could touch it if he just reached out.

He instinctively reached out, wanting to touch the light that was so close at hand.

However, Shen Yun's hand suddenly stopped just before it touched the giant.

Perhaps he should wait a little longer, until TPC's battle plan begins, until the resurrected Tiga defeats Gatanothor...

As he thought this, the image of Tiga being stripped of his light and turned into a stone statue involuntarily appeared before his eyes.

"Even though I hate this feeling of powerlessness, when I'm actually faced with a choice, I still want to back down."

Shen Yun looked up at the giant's silhouette radiating a warm glow and gave a self-deprecating smile.

The radiance of a giant is like a mirror, reflecting the darkness within.

Shen Yun looked at his hands and questioned himself.

"Ultraman represents not only power, but also responsibility."

Are you really ready?

He looked up at the giant's silhouette before him, his gaze gradually hardening.

"I want to... I want to be a light that illuminates the darkness and brings hope to people!"

"Light!"

Shen Yunyi reached out without hesitation and grasped the light that was so close at hand.

Endless radiance enveloped Shen Yun's body, and Shen Yun's body transformed into a beam of light.

This stone statue, which looks just like Ultraman Tiga, transformed into a giant of light radiating warm light with a flash of crystal on its forehead.

"Woof woof!" Seeing this, Gedi also became very excited, its tail wagging like a chrysanthemum.

It hadn't misjudged the person; he was indeed capable of inheriting his master's body.

This giant of light radiates a warm glow. Its body is entirely red, with some white stripes as embellishments.

This is what the giant of light originally looked like.

Hearing the noise, the giant lowered his head and looked at Gedi at his feet.

The giant's milky-white eyes gazed at Gedi, and it nodded slightly at him.

Then, the red giant's body transformed into a ball of light and flew out of the crack in the wall at an extremely fast speed, heading towards the South Pacific Ocean.

Yokosuka Peninsula.

One side of the cargo hold of the Atlas was opened, and the Victory Flying Swallow EX-J, which it contained, was towed to the outside by a trailer.

Next, under the command of Masaki Keigo, Nozue and the technicians of the Atdis assembled the optogenetic converter in a short period of time.

At this moment, Dr. Yao returned to the bridge. Looking at the assembled photogene converter, he exclaimed, "Your talent is truly astounding!"

"Can I come along?" Masaki Keigo asked, looking at the already assembled optogenetic converter.

"Huh?!"

"Although the optogenetic converter can theoretically operate successfully, I haven't actually conducted any experiments. If you bring me along, I can adjust the optogenetic converter at any time," Masaki Keigo explained.

"But this device doesn't have room for other people," Megumi Kijima said hesitantly.

"The airtightness has been ensured. If there is enough oxygen, then there is room to squeeze into that space," Dr. Tango suddenly said.

Everyone on the bridge turned their attention to Dr. Tango.

"I'm sorry, please listen to me." Dr. Tango stepped forward, her expression somewhat timid. "I know I have no say here. Mr. Masaki Keigo's past was indeed wrong. But he is now worried about the future of humanity. So, I think..."

"Okay. Come with us." Lina agreed before Dr. Dango could finish speaking.

Lina looked at the people on the bridge and said, "That's all we can do now, isn't it?"

Ye Rui said, "The Magnum power conversion unit has been installed!"

Megumi immediately turned to Director Sawai and said, "Director, let's go."

"Please," Sawai said.

Megumi turned to the GUTS team and said, "GUTS, let's go!"

"clear!"

The Victory Team members immediately rushed off the bridge.

Then, the Victory Flying Swallow EX-J and the Caroline Airship took off one after another and flew south.

Megumi Iruma sat alone in the cockpit of the Beta machine at the very front of the Victory Flying Swallow EX-J.

Her eyes were resolute, and the words Daigo had once told her echoed in her mind.

"Although Ultraman is very powerful, he cannot transform into light to fight if humanity does not firmly believe in his power!"

This time, it's up to us to save Daigo.

Before long, the two planes arrived over the South Pacific Ocean.

They saw R'lyeh, and the evil god Gatanothor.

"I've seen it! That's the ruler of darkness..." Lina, piloting the Alpha, showed a hint of horror on her face.

Gatanothor was larger than any monster he had ever seen before, and just looking at its body made him feel as if his life was about to be taken away.

Ye Rui used the internal telephone to communicate with the equipment loaded in the warehouse unit.

"Mr. Keigo Masaki, we're almost there. Please be aware of the impact when the device enters the sea!"

Inside the Magus unit, the minimum generator of the Magus power system and the helium-3 storage device were crammed together. Masaki Keigo, shirtless and drenched in sweat, still insisted on adjusting the equipment.

"Okay, I'm ready to start anytime!" Masaki Keigo began preparing the oxygen mask.

Megumi Kiyama announced to the Victory Flying Swallow EX-J Alpha mothership: "Beta aircraft, prepare for departure."

"clear!"

"If I could, Captain, I would really like to go in your place..." Zongfang said.

"I'm always staying in the command room, but I sometimes think about going to the front lines." Upon hearing this, Kijima Megumi smiled slightly.

Hayate contacted Megumi via high-frequency radio: "Don't get in my way."

"The same to you."

The Beta aircraft detached from the Alpha mothership and caught up with the Carloa airship ahead.

"Watch me take care of you!" Hayate Shin stared at Gatanothor in front of him and pressed the fire button.

Several green spikes of light shot out from the muzzle, striking Gatanjee's porous shell and exploding into fleeting bursts of brilliant sparks.

The Beta Machines followed in quick succession, but they only caused a few more sparks to explode on Gatanothor's shell.

Before the two aircraft could continue their attack, Zoga, as a subordinate, flew out of R'lyeh and headed straight for the two fighters.

at the same time.

The Dolphin, located on the seabed, also began its submersible voyage.

If the searchlight were turned on, the tentacles of the evil god would attack, but there was no time to worry about such a danger now.

"Here it comes!" Shinjo fired the D-type machine gun at Tentacles.

"We've run out of ammunition. Let's retreat!" Horii warned.

"hateful!"

To make the ship less conspicuous, Shinjo followed the underwater ruins at its maximum diving depth.

As they passed the slightly raised ruins, Tiga's statue appeared on the Dolphin's display screen.

"I saw it." Horii murmured, looking at the Ultraman Tiga statue on the screen. "It really is..."

Above the sea.

Zuo Jia launched a powerful attack at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing Zoga charging towards him, Hayate quickly changed his flight path and narrowly avoided Zoga's collision.

Megumi Kijima, piloting the Beta machine, circled behind Zoga and fired the Spike Cannon at the base of its wings.

Because Zoga was too fast, the spiked cannon aimed at the base of Zoga's wings hit Zoga's body instead.

Given Zoga's physical defenses, the damage from the Spire Cannon was negligible.

As soon as Zoga opened its mouth, it spat out a light bullet, which shot towards the Beta machine piloted by Megumi Kijima at an extremely fast speed.

Just as Megumi was about to dodge to the side, a figure radiating light flew from behind her plane and blocked her path.

"Another giant!" Megumi exclaimed in astonishment as she stared at the enormous figure radiating endless light before her.

"My God! A new giant!" Nori's eyes widened.

"A giant..." Zongfang looked at the giant's back and couldn't help but sit up straight, his eyes filled with disbelief.

This scene was captured by the God Eye and broadcast to all the shelters via analog signals.

In the underground shelter, the announcer is relaying a message via terrestrial television.

"My God! It's a giant! A new giant has appeared in the South Pacific Ocean!"

The people in the underground shelter looked at the giant's back, radiating endless light, on the screen, and a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes.

Megumi piloted the Beta machine and flew past the giant, taking the opportunity to get a clear look at its appearance.

This is none other than the giant stone statue from the Kumamoto Underground Shrine.

Although at the time, she only caught a fleeting glimpse of it.

However, she had already memorized the general appearance of the giant stone statue.

"Screech!" Zoga let out a sharp cry and immediately turned around and flew towards the giant.

The giant's radiance gradually faded, and as he watched Zoga flying towards him, he flew up to meet him.

The two enormous creatures collided in mid-air and then crashed into the icy seawater.

"Splash!"

The icy seawater surged, and the red giant stood behind Zoga, his left arm gripping Zoga's neck, while his right hand grabbed Zoga's wing, tearing it off.

"Screech!" Zoga cried out in pain, but the red giant showed no mercy.

After tearing off its wings, he threw it over his shoulder into the sea.

Then, riding on its back, he used his right hand to stab Zoga's abdomen with his claw, and then pulled it out.

"Screech!" Zoga let out a final, desperate cry.

The giant's right hand was stained with Zoga's green blood.

He simply flicked his hand to remove the bloodstains, then turned and walked toward Gatanothor on R'lyeh.

……

The Alpha aircraft descended to a height that almost touched the sea surface.

At the site of the ruins, one can see the arrogant evil god stirring with malice.

"Prepare to drop the Magus Energy Tank!" Ye Rui said.

The belly of the Victory Flying Swallow EX-J slowly opened, dropping its energy tank into the sea.

Inside the energy box, Masaki Keigo simply secured himself to the support with a belt, but the violent shaking nearly caused him to hit his head on other devices.

The Magus Power Container descended to a position in front of the Dolphin, which was waiting near the sunken Tiga statue.

Although the dome is fitted with the smallest Magus power release device, the entire energy box looks more like a small hexagonal metal basket.

Moreover, it was completely devoid of any propulsion system.

"It's here! Something's really here!"

Shinjo finally breathed a sigh of relief, blurting out, "So this wasn't a dream after all..."

Kirino's voice reached the two of them again.

"There's a man named Masaki Keigo inside that machine. He knows how to operate it manually. Your Dolphin should adjust its angle so that the light emitted from the energy tank shines on Ultraman Tiga."

The two were taken aback.

"Masaki Keigo, that guy..."

"That person was actually in there..."

Kirino stood on the shore of the metropolis, gazing at the dark sea.

"Daigo, you're the only one who can't hear my voice. But I believe you're still alive. You must become light again!"
