Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Horii, holding the terminal of the pan-language translator, arrived not far from Gazort and began a conversation with him.

"Hello! What's your name? My name is Horii."

Gazort temporarily halted his actions and looked towards Horii.

"We are not your enemies. We are your friends!" Horii said again, seeing Gazort looking at him.

Immediately afterwards, a childlike voice came from the device's speakers.

"Gazort, I like it..."

"Gazort? Is that your name?! Please! Please stop getting angry, stop attacking your friends!"

"friend?"

"Yes, you and I are good friends on Earth!"

Everyone on the GUTS team, as well as Dr. Mizuno who was still on the returning plane, were watching Horii's conversation with the monster.

Daigo looked at Horii, whose team uniform was half-zipped up, and he put his right hand inside the uniform, seemingly ready to transform into a rescuer at any moment.

"Friend, it's delicious!" Gazot's innocent childlike voice came through the pan-language translator again.

"Huh? This translator isn't working?!" Horii was taken aback and looked down at the translator in his hand.

How did you come to associate friends with delicious food?

"Friends are Gazort's food." Gazort's voice came through the translator again.

"What are you talking about?" Horii's eyes widened, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Friend!" Gazot strode toward Hori.

"Horii! Get out of here!" Munakata's expression changed, and he shouted hurriedly.

"Horii, run!" Shinjo shouted.

"Ughhhh! Don't come any closer!!!" Horii was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly.

Daigo's expression hardened, and he took two steps back, hiding in the nearby woods. He then took out his Spark Lens and raised it high.

The next moment, Tiga appeared in front of Gazot and kicked Gazot's mouth, sending Gazot flying hundreds of meters away.

At the same time, Tiga leaped up, did a somersault in the air, and then delivered another flying kick, striking Gazot in the chest as he had just gotten up, knocking him to the ground once again.

Horii took the opportunity to flee the scene.

Seeing Tiga appear, Megumi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and she began to calmly think about the problem.

"It wants to eat its friends?" Megumi asked thoughtfully.

Then, Megumi looked at Dr. Mizuno and asked:

"Dr. Mizuno, did the Lightning Man eat all of its friends in the ionosphere?"

Dr. Mizuno stared blankly at Gazort on the screen, his voice slightly somber as he said:

"The Lightning Man feeds on free electrons and ions in the ionosphere. Due to electromagnetic waves, the environment of the ionosphere has gradually become harsher, forcing the Lightning Man to descend and leave the ionosphere in order to survive."

"As the altitude decreases, the Lightning Man's food supply decreases significantly. Without a food source, the Lightning Man has no choice but to eat his companions to survive."

"I should have thought of that..."

A look of grief appeared on Dr. Mizuno's face.

"This is a tragedy created by our own hands."

Megumi pursed her lips, looking at Gazort fighting Ultraman Tiga on the main screen, her feelings becoming very complicated.

Although Gazort is innocent, and may even be a monster created by humans, it has no choice but to be destroyed for the safety of humanity.

Although Gazort has a fierce appearance and even a certain level of intelligence, its strength is not considered great.

Before long, it was destroyed by Tiga's Lampard Beam.

Gazort, struck directly by the light blast, let out a mournful cry like that of a baby before slowly collapsing.

The next moment, a violent explosion erupted, releasing a dazzling burst of light.

After finishing the battle, Tiga flew into the sky.

In the area where Gazot exploded, tiny, transparent creatures rose up, shimmering golden in the afterglow of the setting sun, like icy sea spirits living in the cold, deep ocean.

"They...are like angels," Lina murmured softly, gazing at the lightning figures slowly soaring into the sky in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Yes, I never imagined that these little lightning men could turn into ferocious monsters," Zongfang said with some emotion.

"This is what Lightning Man originally looked like, before he was driven to the brink of despair by humans. He's so beautiful!" Dr. Mizuno looked at the image displayed on the computer screen with great excitement, his eyes filled with amazement.

……

The rescue plane returned to base, and Shen Yun and Mizuno were invited to the conference room as soon as they got off the plane.

TPC's top management is taking the Lightning Man incident very seriously.

After all, the Lightning Man is fundamentally different from any monster before him, so it's no exaggeration to take him seriously.

The main theme of this meeting was to learn about the Lightning People race through Dr. Mizuno.

Then, determine humanity's attitude towards the Lightning Man.

And this will determine the future fate of the Lightning People.

coexist……

Or perhaps, destruction.

meeting room.

After Dr. Mizuno finished reporting on his research and speculations about the Lightning Man, Sawai spoke up:

What are your thoughts on the Lightning People race?

"The Lightning People pose a great threat to humanity. This is not just a threat to one country, race, or region, but a threat to all of humanity," Tetsuji Yoshioka said coldly, waving his folding fan.

"If Lightning Man can conjure one Gazort, he can conjure two, three, or even more! Who knows, maybe one of those Gazorts is hidden inside any random falling cloud in the sky!"

"If Gazort was able to land in Japan this time, it might land in Tokyo next time, and then London, Paris, Washington, Moscow, or even Beijing!"

"I suggest we immediately contact TPC branches in various countries and dispatch armed forces to jointly eliminate the Lightning Man threat!"

Tetsuji Yoshioka's words infuriated Dr. Mizuno, who slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and shouted angrily:

"Chief Yoshioka, you're completely exaggerating!"

"Emphasis on fear?" Tetsuji Yoshioka scoffed, then snapped his folding fan shut with a 'snap,' and sneered:

"Dr. Mizuno, can you guarantee that those lightning men won't turn into Gazort again? Can you guarantee they won't land on the ground? Can you guarantee they won't attack humans?"

"I can't guarantee that, but the Lightning People are innocent. It was us humans who turned them into this! They just wanted to live, what did they do wrong?" Dr. Mizuno argued forcefully.

"Dr. Mizuno, get your stance straight! You are human, not a lightning man!" said Tetsuji Yoshioka.

"Alright, stop arguing. Let's hear what the others have to say." Sawai calmed the two down and then looked at the others.

Staff Officer Nanbara adjusted his glasses, carefully choosing his tone before speaking: "Regarding the matter of the Lightning Man, I share the same stance as Director Yoshioka."

Hawks and doves are different political parties formed from disagreements arising from different ideas within humanity.

However, when it comes to external affairs, both hawks and doves naturally maintain a unified opinion.

The threat posed by the Lightning People is too great for humanity.

It might even be larger than extraterrestrial civilizations!

Megumi Kijima remained silent, choosing to reserve her opinion.

But sometimes silence is tantamount to agreement.

From the perspective of the Lightning People, they did nothing wrong; in fact, they were the victims.

Humanity is simply reaping the consequences of its own actions, without suffering any significant losses.

If a war were to actually break out, it would be an absolutely unjust war.

However, whether it is just or not is irrelevant to a war between two races.

They are human beings, so we should think and make decisions from a human perspective.

Human beings are kind to other creatures, but that kindness is only based on the premise that their own living environment is not threatened.

Looking at Dr. Mizuno's pale face, Shen Yun sighed softly.

Is it the gentle heart that belongs unique to humankind?

He couldn't just stand by and do nothing...

"I object."

He softened again.
