Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 648 The Light of the Soul

"roar!"

The seawater surged back and submerged the ancient city.

Eight-tenths of a halo!

Xincheng steadied himself, a slicing halo in his hand spinning and expanding, then swung it toward Gatanothor's sinister eyes that were emerging from the sea.

Unfortunately, it was easily torn into pieces of light spots halfway through.

The gap is too big.

They were already difficult to deal with, and with the added blessing of global darkness, it was impossible to even engage in a real battle. The unconscious defense of the evil god alone was enough to make people feel hopeless.

"Sizzle!"

Shinjo continued to cross his arms, intending to unleash the Lipia Killer Ray with all his might, but his right foot suddenly sank.

"not good!"

Daigo stepped forward to help, but was also grabbed by the legs by tentacles, and the two giant bodies disappeared into the sea.

Shinjo at least had some prior experience, but Daigo was completely caught off guard and was suddenly pulled into the dark vortex at the bottom of the sea before he could even make a peep.

"Dagu!"

After struggling to break free of the tentacles, Shinjo rushed towards the seabed like a streak of light and grabbed Daigo Tiga. However, before he could rescue Daigo, more than a dozen tentacles shot out from the surrounding darkness, like predatory octopuses, tightly wrapping around the two of them.

"asshole!"

Feeling the immense pulling force coming from his hands, Xincheng dared not let go and could only temporarily stretch out the spherical Ultra Barrier to protect his body.

He had realized that Gatanothor was an existence he could not defeat at all.

But at this moment, all he wanted to do was something, to do whatever he could with all his might.

He had already seen his younger sister Mayumi one last time, so he had no regrets. He had never thought he would be able to go back after joining the battle.

only……

I'm so unwilling to accept this.

If Gatanothor cannot be stopped, Mayumi will eventually perish along with the world, which would be completely meaningless.

"Whoosh!"

As Xincheng roared and unleashed his power, images of the future flashed through his mind.

Shining Tiga, bathed in radiance, carries the hope of all humanity and drives away the darkness.

"Daigo! The power of humanity! The light of all mankind! Believe in yourself, believe in humanity!"

"New town?"

Daigo was jolted awake from his dazed state when a powerful beam of light, several times stronger than that of Tiga, suddenly surged into his body. The red light, which had been flashing to its limit, abruptly returned to its azure blue, but the same red light flashing sound came from above.

"Beep!"

"Live on, Daigo!"

Shinjo endured the relentless lashing and impact of countless tentacles, then suddenly unleashed his immense strength, pulling Daigo Tiga out of the darkness and hurling it towards the sea.

"You can save the world!"

"New City..."

Daigo's mind went blank. Before the giant's body even left the surface of the sea, he saw Shinjo being pulled into the depths of the sea by dense black mist tentacles.

The last glimmer of light in Lipia was swallowed by darkness.

"Bang--!"

The giant body of Tiga broke through the sea and crashed onto the floating island of R'lyeh. Lina and the others, whose hearts had been in their throats, breathed a sigh of relief, but the knights' expressions changed.

They weren't quite sure what the relationship was between Xia Chuan and Xin Cheng.

But the current situation is definitely not a good thing.

"tutor!"

"No way?" Horii's expression suddenly shifted, realizing, "Could it be Lypia...?"

"Is Lipia really a new city?"

Zongfang guessed something from the expressions of the Knights, and his brows furrowed again.

This is how the Cavaliers usually face New City.

He was able to deduce from Masaki Keigo that Daigo was Ultraman Tiga, and with a little connection, he could identify Shinjo, whose recent actions were remarkably similar to Daigo's.

"That Shinjo guy," Horii, who usually bickered with Shinjo, couldn't help but choke up, "He escaped, so why did he come back to die? What an idiot!"

The sea returned to calm, and Gatanothor stopped moving again for some reason, giving everyone a good opportunity to escape.

Daigo gazed at the sea for a while, then, enduring the pain, turned and walked back to the group on the volcano island.

He knew he had no way to deal with Gatanjeor; he couldn't do anything on his own.

"call!"

The volcanic island barrier completely collapsed as the new city dissipated, and the humid sea breeze blew against everyone's faces like a knife.

"Are we just going to give up like this?"

Hiroko Asami's hoarse voice suddenly broke the silence as she deliberately avoided the giant's hand that Tiga had lowered.

She really didn't understand what state Xia Chuan was in right now.

But she understood one thing: Ultraman couldn't just give up like that.

"If Mr. Shinjo can't manage alone, then let's join him!"

Hiroko Asami looked around at the dark, misty sky as if she were shouting.

"Can you hear us? We're here too!"

"Whoosh!"

A tiny beam of light emerged from the seabed, swaying and gradually taking shape.

Daigo Tiga turned around sharply and was surprised to see a ball of light ignoring the darkness and all physical properties, drifting towards the sea.

This is……

The orb of light looked incredibly fragile, as if it could go out at any moment, but the darkness had no effect on it.

"Shinjo," Daigo looked at the crowd on the ground and then at the sphere of light, "I don't know what future you saw that made you think I would save the world, but... why do we have to wait for the future? We can do it now, aren't we both Ultraman?"

"hold head high!"

Enraged, Gatanothor stirred again, its tentacles relentlessly lashing through the sphere of light, creating waves of energy. Even the nearby Mega Giga was violently struck and knocked to the ground.

So even evil gods can get angry.

In the end, it is nothing more than a giant monster that has obtained the power of darkness.

As the waves crashed against him, Daigo gradually clenched his fingers. The giant's eyes peered through the black mist at the ever-stable, suspended orb of light. His memories returned to the time when the statue was restored in the Land of Tiga, along with the scene of fighting side by side with Lipia at Lake Ryusei.

The way to revive the giants is for Daigo to become light.

"New City!"

Daigo clenched his fists tightly.

"What I need to save is not the future, but the present, so... Lypia, can you hear me? And take my power with you!"

"call--!"

As the storm swept across the sea, the orb of light pierced through the black mist amidst Gatanothor's continuous strikes, transforming into a beam of guiding light that connected to the distant depths of space.

Everyone on the volcano island squeezed into the Flying Swallow 2 to escape the waves. Just as they caught their breath, they saw golden light fall through the dark clouds in the sky.

Beams of light pierced through the gaps in the thick clouds, illuminating the sea surface like a spectacle. The sea became much calmer, no longer easily disturbed by Gatanjee.

"Whoosh!"

Asami Hiroko and the others simultaneously glowed, and their spiritual light once again connected to form a mirror image of the Lipia card, just like last time. The difference was that they directly transformed into light without consuming any points, and flew out of the Flying Swallow 1 together, circling the card mirror image.

Only Fujiwara Saiji and the other GUTS members remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.

"Tiga has turned into light too!"

Lina's exclamation woke everyone up.

Looking up, I realized that the giant body of Ultraman Tiga had disappeared at some point, and a glowing object had appeared on the sea.

"Bang!"

As a high-frequency engine-like roar reverberated across the sea, the clouds in the distant sky parted completely, and a red and silver giant figure accelerated through the air with a series of sonic booms, instantly merging with numerous light sources and descending upon the ruins of R'lyeh.

"Lypia!"
