Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter Three: Heading to Sky Island

Tokyo, Minato Ward.

Shen Yun led Tidom back to the villa, smiling and greeting him, "Come in, don't be shy."

"Don't you need to change your shoes?" Tidom asked, looking down at the spotless, reflective tiled floor of the villa.

"No need. I'll have someone come and clean it regularly." Shen Yun said, glancing down at Tidom's cloth shoes peeking out from under his shrine maiden skirt, and at that glimpse of his fair ankle.

Tsk, that was too hasty.

However, since he had already said it, he couldn't take it back.

Pity.

Upon hearing Shen Yun's words, Tidom lifted the hem of his skirt and stepped into the villa, his curious gaze sweeping over the interior.

The villa's hall is extremely spacious and leads directly to a balcony. Standing on the balcony, one can see the shimmering surface of Tokyo Bay not far away.

"Please sit wherever you like," Shen Yun said, pointing to a row of sofas in the living room.

"Oh, okay." Tidom also came to the sofa, lifted her skirt, and slowly sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Tidom sank right into the soft sofa.

"What the heck! So soft! So comfortable!" Tidom sank into the sofa, pressing his hands against it in surprise.

Seeing Tidom playing with the sofa with a curious expression, Shen Yun smiled and asked, "Tidom, would you like something to drink?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Tidom shifted his attention from the sofa beneath him, looked at Shen Yun standing in front of the refrigerator, and replied, "Just give me a cup of tea."

During the Heian period a thousand years ago, tea was a beverage that only nobles could enjoy.

For ordinary people, the only water they could drink was well water or river water.

"We don't have that. Can we have juice instead?" Shen Yun asked.

"Juice? Sure!" Tidom nodded with a smile upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun reached into the refrigerator, opened it, and took out a box of orange juice with a picture of freshly cut oranges.

Seeing the refrigerator in the corner, Tidom immediately stood up from the sofa, went to Shen Yun's side, and asked curiously, "What's this?"

"This is a refrigerator. It's similar to an ice cellar from your Heian period," Shen Yun explained with a smile.

In ancient times, ice cellars were a luxury enjoyed only by nobles.

"Oh~" Tidom nodded as if he suddenly realized.

Although she had fallen asleep in the sacred spring of Turtle Rock when she was very young, she had still seen the ice cellar.

After all, shrine maidens were considered members of the nobility during the Heian period. (Japanese imperial family members don't have surnames, only given names. Considering the historical background of the Beast Squadron a thousand years ago and the existence of the God of War, Tidom's grandmother, Yukari, is most likely an imperial princess. Of course, this is just personal speculation, take it as entertainment.)

Shen Yun poured Tidom a glass of orange juice and handed it to him.

Tidom reached out and took the cool glass, taking a small sip. The sweet and sour taste immediately made Tidom's eyes light up, and like a child, he exclaimed with delight, "This is so delicious!"

"I'll go get you some more snacks."

"No, no need, let's get down to business first." Tidom's cute face showed a hint of struggle, but she finally resisted the temptation of snacks, sat up straight and looked at Shen Yun, asking, "I want to know, where did you find out about Orgu and Powermon?"

Seeing that Tidom declined his suggestion, he secretly felt a pang of regret.

I never expected the shrine maiden to have such a strong will.

However, Shen Yun didn't care too much. Anyway, there were still two and a half years, enough time for him to slowly corrupt the shrine maiden with a modern lifestyle.

He was quite dissatisfied with the fate of the Beast Squad.

However, when Tidom asked him, Shen Yun replied seriously, "I found out about it from some ancient documents."

"Ancient documents?"

"That's right." Shen Yun snapped his fingers, and a virtual projection landed on the coffee table, displaying some document images in front of Tidom.

Power Beasts are super life forms that have lived on Earth since the distant ancient times; they are the embodiment of the life energy of Earth and nature.

In other words, the Powermon in the Hyakujuu Sentai universe have existed longer than the human race itself.

Perhaps the totem worshipped by ancient humans was one of the hundred powerful beasts.

"From ancient murals to ink paintings from a thousand years ago, there are depictions of giant beasts." Shen Yun flipped through the virtual projection, showing depictions of lions, tigers, cows, eagles, sharks, and other huge animals.

"Moreover, based on the records in these ancient documents, I speculate that whenever times change and people's hearts become restless, the evil energy in the world increases, which in turn gives birth to monsters like Orgu."

"Based on my prediction, once the 21st century begins, the evil energy in the world will reach its peak, and Orug will be born as a result. This belt is a preparation to deal with this crisis."

"That's amazing! To be able to deduce this result based on these clues." Tidom clapped and praised.

Of course, Shen Yun's words were not without flaws.

But Tidom was simple-minded and didn't think much of it.

"When do you plan to come with me to Sky Island to receive the power of Power Beasts?" Tidom asked.

"Anytime is fine. But once we get to Sky Island, could you let me study Powermon?" Shen Yun grasped Tidom's hands, looked at Tidom sincerely, and asked.

"Huh?! This probably won't work," Tidom said, troubled.

"I won't go too far."

"It's not a matter of going too far..." Tidom said hesitantly, "Anyway, I'll try my best to communicate with the Powermon."

"Thank you very much!" Shen Yun smiled.

As long as he can obtain the relevant data on Powermon, he can create the same mechanical beast based on the data obtained from testing.

"Let's get going without delay!" Tidom stood up, grabbed Shen Yun's wrist, and ran out of the villa.

"Wait a minute, let me get ready." Upon hearing this, Shen Yun immediately returned to the laboratory in the villa, prepared a set of portable testing equipment, and then ran out, saying, "Let's go!"

Tidom looked at the various instruments on Shen Yun's back, and a hint of distress appeared on her pretty face.

I have a feeling things are going to get really complicated.

Soon, Shen Yun followed Tidom to Turtle Rock, and Tidom controlled Turtle Rock to fly to Sky Island, which was 10,000 meters above the ground.

"This is Sky Island." Carrying a large amount of equipment, Shen Yun walked out of the entrance of Turtle Rock. Looking at the vast Sky Island in front of him and breathing in the fresh air, a hint of excitement appeared on his face. He rushed directly towards the center of the island.

"Sky Island, Powermon! Here I come! Woohoo~"

"Wait for me! Seriously!" Tidom emerged from the turtle rock, watching Shen Yun's retreating figure, and couldn't help but dodge his foot before quickly chasing after him.
