Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 646 The Evil God Gatanjie

"Mr. Shinjo!"

Asami Hiroko and the others, upon seeing Natsukawa appear out of nowhere, excitedly approached him as if they had found their pillar of support.

As for the squinty-eyed youth, since their relationship wasn't particularly good anyway, and he was practically an enemy in the dungeon, he wasn't sad at all; in fact, he wanted to celebrate.

They brought this upon themselves, so they can't blame them when they return to their original world.

"Mr. Shin-chan..."

As she approached, Hiroko Asami suddenly narrowed her gaze and stared blankly at Natsukawa's "heartless" face.

The Victory Team uniforms stood tall and mysterious in the whistling wind, as if they stood alone in the world.

I could vaguely see a familiar figure from my memory, and a similarly solitary figure in a suit gradually overlapped with it.

"summer……"

"I'll see you out."

Xia Chuan took the initiative to speak, his gaze briefly sweeping over the half-armored arm of Fujiwara's second-hand man. A burst of bright light erupted from beneath his feet, and the body of the luminous giant of Lipia grabbed the knights from the ground and leaped into the air.

Is this all we can do? Leave Lipia?

Xincheng's breathing is not very stable.

If I just run away like this, I... I saw that future? What will become of our world? Can I... fight?

As Xia Chuan faced the towering Zoga clan, the giant's eyes shone even brighter.

The fruit of light can only be borne when the emotions of the chosen one are sublimated. This is the secret he learned in the Nexus dungeon, and he also plans to collect Tigaka in this way.

Daigo's emotional sublimation can push Tiga's strength to a sufficiently high level.

He had been waiting for that moment.

There were no high expectations for the new city; it was originally just intended as a vessel for interfering with the instance.

In his view, the new city was too ordinary, with no possibility of emotional sublimation. The amount of light power obtained from it was minimal, and he had to constantly train to improve his integration.

However, at this moment he had a change of mind.

Faced with their doom, humanity seems to have been inspired to explore more possibilities. The cowardly Kirino Makio is willing to stand up, while the selfish and ambitious Masaki Keigo, who wants to become the master of humanity, will perish together with the time-space monster.

Now, the new city can also provide the power of light, weak yet it has never been interrupted, but has instead become stronger and stronger.

"You want to save the world?"

"Clang!"

As the Giant of Light approached the exit of the spacetime dimension, several Zoga that had broken away from the group instinctively fired electric balls, but they were quickly destroyed by Natsukawa before they could get close.

The eight-point light wheel moved swiftly, and all the Zoga that blocked its way had their wings cut off, falling to the ground like raindrops.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

"Lypia!"

Daigo Tiga, covering his teammates' Flying Swallow fighters, broke through the Zoga formation, looking enviously at Natsukawa's unstoppable advance.

He struggled to reach the exit, while Xia Chuan, who acted later, only took a few seconds.

"Was that the barrier you set up?"

Daigo looked up at the sky at the exit of the space-time boundary that Zoga could not break through no matter what he tried. Wave after wave of collisions only deformed the barrier. Soon, the Zoga group bounced back in a flash of light, and the group's formation was also scattered.

Not only was he faster at rescuing people than Zoga, but he also set up such a powerful barrier to stop Zoga while he was acting.

"It was probably done by an ancient human named Yu Lian; I just enhanced it."

Xia Chuan lifted his palm and handed the Knights to Daigo Tiga.

"Take them out, I'll handle these things, Zoga."

Are you alone?

Daigo glanced at Natsukawa's astonishing record, but ultimately said nothing more. He nodded, picked up the Flying Swallow No. 1, and sped out of the barrier with the Knights.

"I'll be right back!"

"It seems like the Titans are having a conversation?"

Asami Hiroko and the others made contact with Munakata and the others, only to find that Natsukawa had stayed behind in the space-time realm to intercept Saga.

"Why isn't Lipia coming out?" Fujiwara Saiji asked anxiously.

"He wanted to stay behind to cover our retreat!"

Wave after wave of monsters crashed into the barrier, making it almost impossible to see the Lipia Giant's figure clearly; all that could be seen was the rotating eight-part light wheel going in and out.

However, after shooting down one of the Zoga birds, new ones quickly followed.

These monsters, after falling, seem to be able to repair their wings or even revive directly by relying on the black mist, endlessly and without end.

In contrast, Lypia fighting alone seemed more like courting death.

Munakata felt a surge of tragic heroism, but for now, he could only follow Tiga and escape. The determination of a Showa man made him unable to close his eyes, and his fingers gripped the control stick tightly.

"We can't let Lipia's sacrifice be in vain! Contact headquarters immediately and request the deployment of the Atedis warship. We absolutely cannot let those guys escape!"

"Has the new warship been developed?" Lina asked in surprise.

In order to meet the challenges of the new era, TPC has been researching entirely new propulsion systems. After the Zero fighter plane caused pilots to disappear into the light, the Magus propulsion system became the best choice, capable of truly propelling humanity into the space age.

She had only conducted one test flight of the Magus propulsion system.

As a result, they've now successfully developed secret weapons.

"It's not fully developed yet, but we can't worry about that too much right now!"

Horii glanced at the increasingly blurry figure of the Lippi giant in the storm and nervously restored communication.

"Right now, only the Atedis warship can deal with those strange birds..."

"call!"

With Ultraman Tiga's escort, the group finally escaped the spatial dimension and broke through the vortex of clouds to appear in the Pacific Ocean.

"They're out!"

Compared to the space-time realm, the outside world was still sunny and calm, so calm that it felt somewhat unreal to them, but the ever-expanding cloud and mist vortex was no joke at all.

"Horii, have you made contact with headquarters?" Munakata shouted.

"The magnetic field here is getting stronger and stronger!" Horii said, his face grim. "We can't stay here!"

"Bang--!"

Daigo Tiga let everyone leave on their own, and was just about to turn back to support Natsukawa when the cloud vortex suddenly expanded by several thousand meters like a volcanic eruption.

The sky darkened instantly, and an indescribably terrifying dark cloud rapidly spread from the vortex as its center.

"Boom!"

The sea surged, thunderstorms tore through the clouds, connecting the sea and sky, and a volcanic island appeared out of nowhere in the sea. Before Daigo could figure out what was going on, a faint barrier flashed several times before collapsing with a bang.

"Could it be Lypia...?"

"Gua!"

One after another, the strange birds of Zoga burst out from the volcanic island and the sea, flying in all directions as if they had discovered a new continent, following the dark clouds.

"Australia has been suddenly attacked!"

"The Australian branch team was wiped out by a strange bird!"

"What exactly happened?"

The TPC headquarters, located on the coast of the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, is in complete chaos.

Suddenly, darkness descended and covered the entire Earth, seemingly signaling some kind of attack, and monsters began to strike all over the world.

"TPC US Branch Brut Team completely wiped out!"

"The monster flies faster than the fastest fighter jet!"

"Evacuate immediately! We must evacuate this base immediately!"

Suddenly remembering something, Megumi stood up abruptly and loudly issued an order under the surprised gaze of Director Sawai.

"Those dark clouds are the darkness that destroyed the ancient civilization! The annihilation prophesied by Yuzare has come ahead of schedule!!"

"dark?"

Ye Rui's face was covered in sweat.

"I can't understand it. Those things look like black mist, but the laws of physics don't seem to apply. If I had to describe them, they'd be charged plasma... They're heading towards the base, and... and there's a reaction below the base too!"

"How did things get to this point so quickly? There wasn't a single sign!"

"Can we make contact with the Flying Swallow?"

"Destruction?"

Sawai followed and walked to the big screen, only to find that not only the sky, but also the sea surface was covered with a large patch of black fog.

The sea base was located directly in the path of the black fog, leaving no way to avoid it.

Even without superpowers, he could sense that disaster was imminent.

"Immediately board the Atlas with everyone on board! Prepare for an emergency evacuation!"

"Contact the guard unit!"

"All base personnel, evacuate to the Atlas immediately! I repeat, evacuate to the Atlas immediately!"

The highest alarm sounded for the first time at the TPC base, and the broadcast reached every department, briefly causing a commotion.

"Retreat? Why all of a sudden...?"

Base Medical Center.

Mayumi had just finished tidying up the beds in the medical room and was about to leave for the day when she saw her colleagues drop everything and rush off.

Looking out of the porthole at the base, it was already completely dark.

"elder brother……"

Thinking of Shinjo, where she and Daigo had disappeared, Mayumi clenched her fingers again and bowed her head in silent prayer.

"You promised me you'd come back safely."

……

"Gurgle!"

The seabed of the volcanic island.

The Lippi giant, its body flashing red lights, was entangled by black mist tentacles and sank continuously, as if isolated from the world. Its energy continued to drain away, and its eyes grew dimmer and dimmer.

In this terrifying deep-sea region, Xia Chuan faced Gatanothor's colossal, conch-like form for the first time.

It's much larger than the one in the Ultraman Tiga TV series, and at least a kilometer tall.

At this point, Xia Chuan had completely abandoned his preconceived notions.

Once he reached the seabed, he discovered that this instance didn't seem to have the Three Dark Giants, Camilla, Darramb, or Hitler, and it wasn't on the same timeline as the movie.

Gatanothor is clearly much stronger.

A dark god who rules over darkness, a true S-class life form, possessing not only S-class combat power but also S-class god-level authority.

No wonder the world is heading towards a bad end.

"Libia, have I been a burden to you?"

As the giant's body accelerated closer to the darkness of the seabed, Shinjo's consciousness grew increasingly drowsy, as if he were about to fall into eternal sleep in the darkness at any moment.

Not only did his strength severely cripple Lipia, but his ideas also became a burden.

It was his insistence on protecting his teammates and preventing Zoga from escaping the barrier that convinced Lipia to stay and fight.

This also consumes too much energy.

"Sorry, it seems like it's coming to an end." Shinjo closed his eyes wearily.

"Fighting to save this world is also my idea," Xia Chuan shook his head slightly.

"Don't try to comfort me now," Shinjo said with a wry smile. "I can tell that you didn't care about the outcome of this world at all in the first place."

"That was the beginning."

Xia Chuan's thoughts were calm.

For him, defeat is merely a game failure; his main body remains independent of the instance. However, Shinjo will truly die.

Even if the instance can be restarted, it becomes a completely different story.

"We can't give up yet."

Natsukawa recalls the past, recalls Shinji Kaminaga, recalls Komon, and uses all his remaining spiritual strength to awaken Shinjo.

He never imagined that this would be his end.

"Shinjo, if you collapse here, what will happen to our little sister Mayumi? What will happen to the GUTS team and this world?"

"Mayumi?"

A light gradually appeared on the dark seabed.

"Yes...and our little sister, Lipia, I want to see Mayumi again, give me a little more strength...I can't die here!"
