Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 291 A true man lives between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long! (Time keeps resetting)

Amidst the scattered wreckage of the Knight Robots, the damaged history-altering device lay amidst the ruins.

Despite the severe damage, the surface of this history-altering device still flickers with streaks of emerald green electricity.

This means the device is still operational.

"Ee?" A Shocker Bone Fighter saw the history-altering device lying in the ruins and quickly reached out to greet it.

"Oh? Did you find it?" Upon seeing this, Shen Yun quickly walked up to the Shocker Bone Fighter.

Looking at the severely damaged but still functioning history-altering device, Shen Yun raised an eyebrow.

"It's so badly damaged, how can it still work?"

So, it was just a coincidence?

He had mistakenly thought it was a backup plan from the Shocker leader.

Speaking of which, the consciousness of the Shocker Boss should still exist within this history-altering device, right?

in case……

Looking at the severely damaged history-altering device in front of him, Shen Yun couldn't help but have the idea of ​​destroying the remains of this history-altering device.

A true man lives between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long!

He's been the subordinate of Chief Shocker for so many years, it's time for him to be the boss.

Once he destroys this history-altering device, the Shocker Chieftain, having exhausted his evil spirit energy, will be forced into a deep sleep.

It's unknown how many years will pass before the Great Leader of Shocker awakens again.

However, Shen Yun ultimately suppressed the thought in his heart.

Chief Shocker treated him well, and he wasn't an ingrate; he could betray Chief Shocker without hesitation.

He was somewhat hesitant to do it himself.

In addition, he also wants to use Shocker's resources to build a machine that can travel through parallel universes.

Let me assist Chief Shocker one last time, as a way of repaying the kindness he has shown me over the years.

In any case, the fate of Shocker's leader was already sealed.

"Move it back," Shen Yun said to the Xiuka skeletons.

"Eek!" The Shocker skeletons immediately dug the severely damaged history-altering device out of the ruins and carried it back to the Shocker base.

Back at the repair base, Shen Yun also inspected the history alteration device, which was severely damaged but still functioning.

"How is it? Can the history alteration device still be repaired?" The projection of the Shocker leader appeared in the laboratory and asked.

Shen Yun put down the testing equipment, shook his head, and said, "The history alteration device is too badly damaged to be repaired. Although I don't know the principle behind how this severely damaged device can still operate, I suggest we leave it alone. Otherwise, it might interfere with its operation."

What was that saying again?

If a bug allows the program to run, then leave it alone; otherwise...

"I see..." The Shocker chieftain nodded slightly, then asked, "What kind of effect would the current history-altering device have if it were activated?"

"Well... I don't know either. Maybe we'll know once the history-altering device is running," Shen Yun shook his head and replied.

Although he knew that the current history-altering device would constantly reset time, he didn't say anything.

"Sizzle..."

At this moment, a red light suddenly emanated from inside the history alteration device, and emerald green electric arcs flickered on the device.

"This is……?"

"The history-altering device has been activated!"

……

Although history has been corrected, one thing remains unchanged.

That was the death of Shijima Tsuyoshi.

Holding Shijima Tsuyoshi's portrait, Shijima Kiriko stood before his tombstone, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls.

Shinnosuke Tomari stood beside Kiriko Shijima, holding an umbrella and looking heavy-hearted. He didn't know how to comfort her.

Not far away, Inui Takumi, who had also attended Shijima Tsuyoshi's funeral, watched this scene silently.

Seeing Kiriko silently shedding tears, a hint of sadness flashed in Inui Takumi's eyes as well.

Kiba...

Caojia...

He didn't want to lose any more companions.

Takumi's consciousness resonated with the damaged history-altering device, and his thoughts caused the history-altering device to start working again.

The surface of the history-altering device began to flicker with emerald green arcs of electricity, and the emerald green light curtain once again spread out from within the history-altering device.

"The history alteration device has been activated?!" The Shocker leader was also somewhat taken aback by the sudden activation of the history alteration device.

A verdant green light curtain emanated from the history-altering device, and then time began to distort and rewind.

"Time has been reset." The Shocker leader also sensed the changes that occurred after the history alteration device was activated.

"So that's how it is. Someone's strong emotions resonated with the history-altering device, causing it to restart?" The Shocker leader quickly grasped the change.

"Shen Yun, go and find out immediately what has happened in the world," said the Shocker chief.

"Yes." Shen Yun bowed slightly and immediately began the investigation.

Because he already knew the answer, Shen Yun quickly found out the result.

"Shijima Tsuyoshi?" After pondering for a moment, the Shocker chief said, "Shen Yun, you should suspend the development of No. 4 for now and modify a Cheetah Snail Monster to test it out."

"Yes."

Following orders from the Shocker leader, Shen Yun suspended his modifications to Number 4 and instead began modifying the Cheetah Snail Monster.

"If only time could really be reset..."

In that case, Shocker could continuously increase their power through repeated time resets, eventually leading to world domination.

Soon, Shen Yun followed the instructions of Chief Shocker and began to modify a cheetah snail monster.

"Go, lure out the Kamen Riders, and then destroy them," Shocker's chief ordered.

"Yes!" The cheetah snail monster bowed slightly and led a team of Shocker bone combatants away from the Shocker base.

Shen Yun stood with his hands in his pockets, quietly watching the cheetah snail monster leave.

This strange creature, combining the characteristics of two animals, is a product of Galshka's technology.

Although this technology is from many years ago, as long as two suitable animals are used and advanced artificial organs are added, its strength is no less than that of the later monsters.

……

After leaving the Shocker base, the Cheetah Snail Monster and the Shocker Bones went out into the streets and began to wreak havoc and attack humans.

Thanks to their efforts, Shinnosuke Tomari, Yuto Sakurai, and Takumi Inui arrived at the scene as quickly as possible and engaged in battle with the Cheetah Snail Monster and the Shocker Bones.

The cheetah snail monster fought and retreated, bringing Faiz and Zeronos to the city square.

Kiriko Shijima and Tsuyoshi Shijima also arrived at the square.

Looking at the Cheetah Snail Monster, Shijima Tsuyoshi also took out his Mach Driver Flame and said, "I'll join in too."

After saying that, Shijima ran towards the cheetah snail monster who was fighting fiercely with Faiz and Zeronos.

"Hen Shin!" Takeshi Shijima transforms into Kamen Rider Mach and joins the battle.

"Pursue, destroy, it's always Mach! Kamen Rider Mach!" Mach punched away the Cheetah Snail Monster and struck a pose.

"Isn't that too high-profile? Do they have to do this every time?" Zeronos said, looking at Mach's back.

"Let's go too." Faiz patted Zeronos's chest and immediately charged towards the cheetah snail monster.

Under the combined attack of the three knights, the cheetah snail monster was completely unable to resist. After enduring the three knights' ultimate attacks, it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Seeing the cheetah snail monster fall to the ground, all three of them deactivated their transformations.

"Yosh! It worked!" Shijima Tsuyoshi exclaimed triumphantly.

"You came later, yet you're really getting cocky," Yuto Sakurai said, arms crossed, looking at Tsuyoshi Shijima.

"Don't worry about the details, you're pretty strong too." Shijima jumped in front of Sakurai Yuto with a grin.

"Tsk." Yuto Sakurai clicked his tongue lightly.

"Speaking of which, who exactly are you people?" Shijima asked.

As soon as Shijima Tsuyoshi finished speaking, a tentacle suddenly wrapped around his neck and dragged him all the way to the Cheetah Snail Monster.

The cheetah-snail monster, billowing smoke, grabbed Shijima Tsuyoshi by the neck and snarled, "Now that things have come to this, at least one knight should be dragged down to hell!"

"Yame!" Tomari Shinnosuke's eyes widened instantly, and he ran quickly toward the cheetah snail monster.

"Shocker, onboard!"

The cheetah snail monster raises its hands high and then explodes with a bang.

The shockwave from the explosion sent Shinnosuke flying, and he crashed to the ground.

Shijima Tsuyoshi, who was at the epicenter of the explosion, was severely injured and barely clinging to life.

Shijima Kiriko paused for a moment, then quickly ran to Shijima Tsuyoshi and said anxiously, "Tsuyoshi!"

"Nei-chan..." Shijima Tsuyoshi glanced at Shijima Kiriko with difficulty before turning his head away and dying completely.

He suffered a setback and died for the second time.

"Tsuyoshi!" Kiriko Shijima grabbed Tsuyoshi Shijima's shoulders, heartbroken.

Looking at the heartbroken Shijima Kiriko, Inui Takumi also clenched his fists.

At the same time, at the Shuka base.

The severely damaged history-altering device lit up with a red light again, and green electric arcs danced on its surface.

"The history-altering device has begun to resonate," Shocker's chieftain exclaimed excitedly.

The next moment, a green light curtain, like a tidal wave, spread out again, and time was reset once more.

The previously defeated cheetah snail monster has reappeared at Shocker's base.

"Time has been reset once again." The Shocker chief looked at the cheetah snail monster that had appeared in the Shocker base and confirmed his guess.

"Shen Yun, continue modifying the monsters," said the Shocker leader.

"Yes." Shen Yun nodded and began modifying the strange man again.

The projection of the Shocker High Overlord, watching the still-operating history-altering device, chuckled in a low voice, "Soon, very soon, the world will be ours!"

Before long, the second modified monster—the leech chameleon monster—was also created by Shen Yun.

However, this leech-chameleon monster is not the Black General.

In the correct historical account, General Black would have been eliminated by Number 1 and Number 2 long ago.

The leech chameleon monster now is just another monster.

After completing the modification of the leech chameleon monster, the Shocker leader dispatched the two monsters.

As long as time is constantly reset, Shocker's power will only grow stronger.

After the Cheetah Snail Monster and the Leech Chameleon Monster led the Shocker Bones away from the Shocker Base, they once again followed the same route and wreaked havoc on the streets.

However, the leech chameleon monster had already gone into hiding and concealed itself.

Soon, Shinnosuke Tomari, Yuto Sakurai, and Takumi Inui arrived at the scene as usual. Seeing the Shocker Bones attacking humans, they immediately transformed into Faiz and Zeronos and went to fight them.

Shinnosuke Tomari also transformed into Drive and was about to rush over to help, but he was pulled to the ground before he could take two steps.

The leech chameleon monster standing on the roof also revealed itself and jumped down from the roof to fight Drive.

But soon, Drive, who had changed his form, grabbed the leech chameleon monster and kicked him, sending him flying.

After defeating the leech chameleon monster, Drive quickly headed to the other battlefield.

By the time Tomari Shinnosuke arrived, the three knights' ultimate attacks had already struck the cheetah snail monster.

"Success!" Shijima exclaimed triumphantly as he reverted to his original form.

"What a frivolous guy," Inui said.

"You should be happy if you win! Come on, give me a smile!"

"That's exactly my expression."

"What kind of expression is that?! Yuto, what kind of expression is that?"

Seeing Shijima Tsuyoshi joking around with Sakurai Yuto and Inui Takumi, Tomari Shinnosuke breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly ran to the cheetah snail monster that was still emitting white smoke and carefully examined it.

After confirming that the Cheetah Snail Monster wouldn't come back to life, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shijima Tsuyoshi.

"I can't believe I'm even imagining that Gang is going to die. What am I thinking?" Shinnosuke Tomari chuckled to himself.

Shijima was smiling when a look of pain flashed across his face, and he looked down at his chest.

An invisible tentacle pierced Shijima Tsuyoshi's heart.

After the invisible tentacle was removed, Shijima collapsed to his knees, utterly exhausted.

"Gon!" Shinnosuke Tomari's eyes widened immediately.

The leech chameleon monster retracted its tentacles, and its body was now crackling with purple arcs of electricity, constantly exploding into tiny sparks.

The leech chameleon pointed at Shijima Tsuyoshi and said, "I'm going to drag you down to hell with me!"

After saying that, the leech chameleon monster collapsed to the ground and exploded.

"Takeshi!" Kiriko Shijima ran to Takeshi's side again, calling out anxiously. (I'm a little confused. Takeshi clearly fell forward after his defeat, but the camera suddenly cuts to him lying on the ground. Is this a tribute to Ultraman?)

Shijima Tsuyoshi's head lolled to the side, and he died right in front of Shijima Kiriko.

He suffered a setback and died for the third time.

After Gang died in defeat, the history-altering device inside the Shocker base resonated again, and time was reset once more.

The monsters that had originally died were all resurrected within the Shocker base.

"As long as this cycle continues, Shocker will eventually conquer the world! Shen Yun, continue modifying the monsters. Make sure this cycle can continue indefinitely," said the Shocker leader.

"Yes." Shen Yun nodded and immediately began the modification surgery on the third monster.

In just a few hours, Shen Yun had transformed the ant-mammoth monster.

As before, the three monsters led the Shocker Bones to wreak havoc on the streets. Shinnosuke Tomari realized that time was constantly looping and arrived at the scene before Takumi Inui and Yuuto Sakurai to stop the Shocker monsters' rampage.

At the same time, Shinnosuke Tomari also intends to verify his guess.

Soon, time reset once again, and Shinnosuke Tomari opened his eyes and looked at the clock on the table.

December 4, 11:55 PM.

Time has reset again...

Without hesitation, Tomari Shinnosuke immediately ran to the underground base and found Mr. Belt to have his body examined.

"As expected! Time keeps looping. Each loop resets memories, which is why we don't feel that time is looping." Shinnosuke looked at his body's test report and frowned.

The test results showed that his heart did indeed stop beating once, and just now.

"That's a very good judgment. What do you plan to do?" Mr. Belt asked.

"First, we need to find a way to break out of this cycle."

I've already briefly described Gang's famous defeat scene, summarizing the entire episode in half a chapter. There's really not much to write about on episode 3; the only highlight is the GP tournament. To be honest, the suit battles that followed weren't very well filmed.

If we don't write about the GP race, there's really nothing to write about on the 3rd; it really can only be glossed over.
