Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 609 My Little Sister Mayumi

"elder brother!"

Mayumi Shinjo pressed herself against the observation window, sniffling and her voice trembling, as she crouched down, hugging her shoulders.

"I originally wanted to tell him that I was going to marry Takuma soon... but now..."

"Marriage?" Daigo opened his mouth in surprise.

"Takuma is coming back tonight to prepare for the national competition, and he'll also be able to meet up with his brother..."

Mayumi turned her head away and closed her eyes, unable to bear looking at her brother's once incredibly familiar face in the intensive care unit.

"I've thought this day might come, and I've always been afraid I'd never see my brother again, but he really is now..."

"sorry."

Daigo lowered his head in pain.

The plane crash was so sudden that it went out of control and plunged into the sea, without even giving him a chance to take out his Spark Lens.

If he had successfully transformed at that time, he might have been able to save Shinjoong.

And to be honest, if he hadn't kept crashing planes, the captain wouldn't have paired him with Shinjo.

"It's all my fault..."

"This has nothing to do with you, Daigo."

Victory Team Captain Megumi sighed softly and tried to rouse her team members who were lacking in morale.

"The source of this incident has been found: the strong electromagnetic waves came from the Lightning Man's lair, which has sunk again. The intelligence agency just informed us that the Lightning Man is approaching Japan, Lina."

"yes!"

The short-haired female team member standing behind Daigo responded by opening her personal terminal.

"Due to strong electromagnetic interference, one flight has lost contact. It is Kokulikan Airlines Flight 206 bound for Tokyo."

"Guoligang Airlines?"

Mayumi wiped away her tears and stared blankly at the GUTS team members who were moving quickly.

"Wait, Takumo was on Kuo Li Kang Airlines flight 206, could it be...?"

"It's just a communication outage for now," Megumi said, pulling back the panicked Mayumi. "Leave the rescue to us. You stay here with Shinjo for the last bit of time."

"But……"

Mayumi clenched her fingers, glanced back at the dying Shinjo, and then lowered her head to return to the edge of the ward.

"Please, whatever you do, please let me know immediately if there's any news."

"call!"

Mental space.

Xincheng leaned against the hospital bed, his breathing becoming labored, and he reached out his arm but could not touch his sister.

"I once swore that I never wanted to see Mayumi cry again."

After a moment of painful silence, Shinjo turned to face Natsukawa as if he had made up his mind.

"Take my body if you want it, but I have one condition: do your best to save Mayumi's boyfriend. If... if you can't do that, then take good care of my sister for me."

"That's possible..."

The Xia Chuan Giant's body completely merged with the new city, but something about what he said just didn't sound right.

Didn't he make it clear?

It's just temporarily borrowing a body; it's completely different from what Zaki did.

There shouldn't be any Ultraman that would devour a human host, right?

"Whoosh!"

Before Xia Chuan could think too much, the anchor point stabilized and pulled his consciousness back to the outside ward.

"New City," lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils dilating red and then quickly returning to normal.

The smell of medicine in his nose and the sound of monitoring equipment operating in his ears clearly reminded Xia Chuan that he had officially integrated into this instance world.

As for Xincheng himself, he will remain asleep in the spiritual space for a while.

Perhaps because of his concern for his younger sister Mayumi, the anchor point level didn't even require him to do anything before he directly reached the transformation requirement.

That's enough for him to do his activities.

Whether it can continue to improve in the future is a matter for the future.

"Click!"

After removing his oxygen mask and getting out of bed, Xia Chuan's gaze immediately turned to Mayumi, who had fallen asleep in the corner at some unknown time.

Losing her brother and boyfriend on the same day, what was initially a planned surprise turned into a shock, would be too cruel for this girl if it actually happened.

Remembering Shinjo's instructions, Natsukawa grabbed a blanket and placed Mayumi on the hospital bed.

"elder brother."

"Don't go, brother... Takuma..."

The girl was dreaming about something, her brows furrowed repeatedly, and she kept calling out to herself. She curled up in the blanket and fell into a deeper sleep, a smile returning to her face.

Humanity.

Xia Chuan gently closed the door, his gaze piercing through the space to the distant sea.

His love for his younger sister alone caused an ordinary anchor point to suddenly shift to the third level.

The humans in Ultraman Tiga's world are more special than one might imagine.

"Sizzle!"

Over the Pacific Ocean.

The dark cloud formed by the Lightning Man's lair grew larger and larger, and the electromagnetic reaction became stronger and stronger.

The missing flight was already involved, and there is a high probability that there is no possibility of rescue.

Xia Chuan paused slightly, then raised his hand to summon the dimensional curtain and vanished from the TPC Medical Center in a flash.

"The monitoring satellite has detected the target!"

In the GUTS operations room, Daigo and his teammates gathered in front of the main screen.

Image analysis reveals a massive shadow forming within the Lightning Man's lair.

"It's Gazort!"

"The energy is much stronger than before!"

Lina looked at the data on the screen and opened her mouth slightly.

The Lightning People are a race of creatures that live in the Earth's ionosphere. They were transformed into the monster Gazort due to the influence of human electromagnetic waves.

This is the second time this has happened.

"Its energy is still increasing; no wonder Flying Swallow 1 went out of control. How can we deal with it?"

"Vice-Captain," Megumi asked, turning to the pensive Seiichi Munakata, "do you have any countermeasures?"

"We can launch microwaves from the ground, lure it to a suitable location, and then conduct close-range combat," Vice Captain Zongfang responded. "Ground combat shouldn't be a problem."

"What about flight 206?" Daigo couldn't help but ask.

Silence fell over everyone in the operations room.

"There's no time for a search and rescue operation now; we have to deal with Gazort first, and 206 is probably already..."

The only thing remaining in the detection footage was Gazot, a large object, and the fate of Flight 206 was obvious.

"call!"

High in the clouds.

The Lipia Red Silver Giant soared through the air, and before it even approached the Lightning Man's lair, the red light on its chest began to flash.

Again.

As his strength increases, his demands on his human host also seem to become higher and higher.

He chose the transformation method of his true form because he was worried that Shinjo's body could not withstand it.

After all, Shinjo is not like Daigo, who inherently possesses the genes of the Giant of Light.

After this, we need to find a way to work together properly and improve Xincheng's physical strength first.

Although he didn't have any particular feelings for Gatanothor, and his usual A-rank or even B-rank combat power was sufficient in his daily life, he felt too insecure in the current situation.

"Clang!"

Xia Chuan's eyes pierced through the dark clouds, and he discovered a large amount of aircraft wreckage in the Lightning Man's lair.

Of course, the most eye-catching was Gazort, the monster that suddenly flew out of its lair.

Gazort, a second-generation shapeshifting monster, is a Class B ordinary monster. It glides like a flying fish in the sea and opens its bat-like mouth to emit a strange cry similar to that of a feline cub.

"Ah!"

Seemingly sensing the danger posed by Xia Chuan, Gazot, having broken free of the nest's protection, unleashed several plasma beams.

"What is that?"

Unable to pilot the Flying Swallow into battle, Daigo and the others stood on the shore, watching Gazort charge from afar.

As the clouds dispersed, the figure of the Xia Chuan Giant, with its flashing red lights, came into view.

"No way? Could that be...?"

"call--!"

The spatial vortex created by Xia Chuan automatically deflected Gazot's plasma light bullet. Gazot, which was rushing towards it, suddenly sank, as if affected by a gravitational field, and screamed as it fell. Just before hitting the sea, it forcibly changed direction, its belly skimming across the surface of the sea at high speed.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Xia Chuan finally launched a formal attack. As he raised his arm, an eight-point light wheel fell from the sky, slicing Gazot's body, which was rising again, in half.

"Bang!"

A massive plasma energy body exploded on the sea surface, and the Lightning Man's lair, where dark clouds gathered in mid-air, seemed to lose its support, gradually being dissolved by the light from the inside.

"Is that Brother Zhefu?"

Amidst the light, the sound of a motorcycle exhaust filled the air. A rider in a black leather jacket removed his helmet and calmly met the gaze of the giant Natsukawa.

"Please tell Mayumi I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't see her. I'm sorry, I really miss her, I'll love her forever and ever, but..."

"Whoosh!"

The light completely disappeared, and among the countless pieces of aircraft wreckage, only one necklace pendant was caught by Xia Chuan.

Mental space.

Xia Chuan lowered his head and opened the memorial pendant, inside which seemed to be an old photo of Mayumi from her student days.

"How could this happen?" Shinjo's consciousness surged violently as he pleaded in a trembling voice, "Ultraman, you can revive me, right? You can save Takuma too, right? Please..."

Xia Chuan did not respond.

Tomo's longing transformed into something akin to a life form of light, briefly appearing in connection with Gazot's plasma energy.

In theory, he could also maintain its existence.

But is it really necessary?
