Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 699 Returning to Ultraman Tiga

The Ultraman Tiga timeline.

Xia Chuan hadn't been gone for very long, but the timeline here had already advanced to 10 years later.

Horii got married and started a family early, and his two children are already in elementary school. Daigo and Rena also had a daughter named "Hikari" on Mars. Vice Captain Munakata and Captain Megumi have not yet confirmed their relationship, but everyone understands what is going on between them.

The former GUTS members have all grown and matured, but Shinjo remains single. After the GUTS disbanded, he became a staff member of the Space Development Agency, dedicating himself to exploring the universe, with marriage seemingly a distant prospect.

The younger sister, Mayumi, is also married to Takuma, but they don't have children yet. She is currently the head nurse at TPC and always urges her brother to get married in their daily contact.

"Getting married...don't I want to get married?"

Despite having a rare holiday and returning to Earth, Shin-joo felt no sense of relaxation. As the transport plane was about to enter the atmosphere, he angrily ended a video call with his sister.

"And that Horii kid..."

Thinking of Horii's happy family, Shinjo's face grew even more bitter.

Why is he so handsome, yet he's never been in a relationship?

Why does Horii, who is so ugly, have such a beautiful wife?

"call!"

"Finally back, everything is normal, we'll arrive at our destination in about 20 minutes..."

The transport plane changed course with slight tremors and a brief bump before switching power and heading toward the TPC base.

Although it was just a routine procedure and the machine quickly returned to stability, long-lost memories were awakened in Xincheng's heart.

He hasn't had a plane crash in a long time.

"Um?"

Xincheng looked in confusion at the fleeting light flashing past the porthole.

No way?

"Whoosh—!"

The transport plane did not crash, and the surrounding passengers did not even notice anything unusual. Only Shinjo looked at himself with surprise.

Light!

"Is that you, Lipia?" Shinjo was so excited he was almost incoherent. "You're back?"

"This world is facing another crisis," Xia Chuan's illusory figure appeared, "I've only returned temporarily."

"Crisis?" Shinjo's smile froze. Natsukawa's assessment of the crisis was definitely not simple. "What crisis? With Tiga and Dyna, there shouldn't be any problems, right? Scria has been mostly dealt with..."

"Let's not talk about that now," Xia Chuan said, turning his gaze away from the scenery outside the window. "Where are you going now?"

"Uh, the vice-captain said he'd go with us to see the captain, so we can all get together again."

"Then let's have a good party. I'll handle the crisis."

Xia Chuan disappeared back into the consciousness space of the new city.

Before returning to this world, some final touches need to be put on here.

Dynamo has finished, but there's still work to be done.

"oh oh."

Xincheng was completely bewildered, but he didn't think too much about it, his thoughts returning to the reunion with his old teammates.

"Time flies, 10 years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Ten years is indeed a significant number for humankind.

Xia Chuan looked dazed.

He has spent more than 10 years in this world and the Ultraman world, and he is about to return to this world... He feels similar to Shinjo.

……

TPC's new headquarters.

Having been threatened by the evil god Gatanothor in the past, and considering the unsolved mysteries of the ancient past in the ocean, TPC built a new Far East headquarters on land.

Unlike the old base, which was not originally intended for war, the new base has significantly enhanced its combat attributes. It was designed with wartime mode in mind from the outset, and its defensive capabilities have been greatly improved.

The newly formed Super Victory Team has undergone a dramatic change in fighting power compared to the past.

Not only the fighter jets, but also the team members are more professional and more focused on combat, unlike the former Victory Team which was more focused on scientific research.

"Parking area number 3, ready..."

"call out!"

The transport plane landed gradually under the guidance of the base. Xincheng took a deep breath as he disembarked, gazing with awe at the training fighter jets flying overhead.

He was dazzled by the performance of the fighter jets.

Similar training activities are quite frequent, and the base itself is like a fortress.

It has really changed a lot compared to 10 years ago.

That's true. Humanity has now entered the space age. It would be terrible if we stopped progressing like we have in the past.

However, he doesn't think he will fall behind. Even now, if he were on the Super Victory team, he would still be a unique ace.

"I really want to try out the new fighter jet."

"New City!"

On the other side, Vice Captain Zong Fang also arrived at the base and waved to Shinjo when he saw him.

Horii was right behind Munakata, his chubby round face still the same as before.

"Long time no see!"

General Staff Headquarters.

The reunion of the former GUTS veterans brought a long-lost smile to Megumi Kijima's face.

Since becoming a staff officer in the intelligence department, I haven't felt this joy in a long time, as if I've returned to the days of the GUTS team.

"Why did you suddenly come here? You didn't even tell me beforehand..."

"Because I wanted to give the captain a surprise."

Horii smiled憨厚ly: "After all these years, it's time for us to get together, otherwise I'm afraid I'll forget everyone's faces..."

"What are you talking about?" Shinjo temporarily put aside the crisis Natsukawa mentioned, muttering as he nudged Horii, "How could someone as handsome as me forget, right?"

"Who knows? Who was it that said they'd definitely get married before me?" Horii's expression was exaggerated. "Really? Someone's still single?"

"None of your business! You still can't speak after all this time!"

"I'm just telling the truth."

"Alright." Zongfang coughed lightly to interrupt the two's argument, his old face also showing a hint of embarrassment.

Speaking of being single, he doesn't seem to be much better off than Xincheng; he hasn't made much progress over the years.

"Don't argue in front of the captain."

"Is it just you few?" Megumi asked with a light laugh. "Where are Daigo and the others?"

"Daigo is still busy on Mars."

Lina, carrying her daughter, came up behind Zongfang and the others, and greeted her daughter affectionately with a cheek kiss.

"I don't know why, but it feels like he's grown up a lot."

"Is this child your and Daigo's daughter?" Shinjo's eyes widened again.

Although I had heard Daigo mention it before, this was the first time we had met.

A child born on Mars.

so cute.

What if he also wants to have a daughter?

My younger sister has become increasingly talkative since she got married.

I long for a daughter who is as warm and comforting as a cotton-padded jacket.

"Hello, Uncle." The girl nestled in Lina's arms and grinned at Xincheng.

"Well."

I'm missing a few teeth.

"Where's Nozomi?" Megumi continued to ask.

"It seems like they're conducting tests on a new Max cannon system at the Jupiter base."

……

universe.

"Pluto has been swallowed up!"

"How is the situation?"

"The entire space attack force has been wiped out!"

"Unable to escape gravity..."

"What exactly is that?"

TPC Jupiter Ganymede Base.

Asuka gripped the handrail tightly, sweat beading on his forehead amidst the shouts of the base personnel around him.

"The gravity of its sphere is strong enough to devour Jupiter... That thing is far more terrifying than any monster; if this continues, it might wipe out the entire solar system!"

"Finally...is it here?" Asuka Shin's lips turned pale, and he could no longer listen to the scientists' analysis and discussion.

He had already seen the future in "Time Travel".

Despite having Ultraman Tiga fighting alongside him in this world, the final outcome was not much different.

Even with Tiga's help, the Surface Matrix is ​​not so easy to deal with.
