Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 701 Guiding Light, Returning Home

"Light?"

Earth.

With the assistance of the TPC fighter squadron, Daigo Tiga dealt with a group of Specia chimeras that attacked the headquarters base, and then turned around to see a huge halo reflecting in the sky.

All the remaining Specia chimeras perished almost instantly, and the Specia projection that filled the sky collapsed with a desperate roar.

Even during the day, one can see a twinkling, brilliant star in the universe.

"It's the Land of Light! Has Lipia returned?"

Daigo deactivated his transformation and returned to the ground, smiling as he looked up at the bright starlight that seemed to illuminate the future.

Xia Chuan disappeared after fighting the Shadow Mage, but he never forgot them.

"call!"

After the panic subsided, the city fell silent. People who had been arguing about the Softia Declaration took to the streets, staring blankly at the ever-shining Ultra Star.

A brief silence fell over TPC headquarters as the communications officer quickly made contact with Mars.

"The swallowed planets have all returned!"

"That light... restored the solar system!"

"Incredible!"

"Is this Ultraman Lipia, who once saved the Earth? The Ultraman who disappeared in the ruins of R'lyeh?"

Mai Midorikawa gazed through the porthole at the giant's light shining outside the Kurak call sign.

"They not only saved us and Dyna, but they also saved the solar system..."

"Yes, it's Libya!"

Super GUTS captain Gosuke Kibi stared intently at the two giants of light standing side by side in outer space, his memory seemingly transported back to Mount Kirimichi, back to the first time he saw Ripia.

Ultraman, who had once disappeared from human memory, has returned to the public eye in an even more magnificent form.

To save humanity once again.

Even though he likes to show his strict side in front of his teammates, Kibi Gosuke couldn't help but burst into tears.

Lipia saved him once again, saving the teammate he least wanted to lose.

"It's good that you're back!"

"Whoosh!"

Natsukawa turned to face the bewildered Asuka Dyna.

His intervention to pull Dyna back completely changed Dyna's future.

In the original series, Asuka becomes a true life form of light and, after completely merging with Dyna, wanders through other universes.

In other words, Shin Asuka, who was human, died in the final spacetime distortion.

Having lost his important human identity, he was never able to return to his teammates until the very end.

"What's wrong?" Asuka suddenly came to her senses.

The future that forced him to make a painful choice seemed to require almost no effort from Lipia.

This is too... too unreal.

"It's nothing," Xia Chuan said, his aura fading. "Go back, your teammates are waiting for you."

"Are you leaving again?" Asuka asked, startled. "Everyone must really want to see you, Captain Hibiki and the former GUTS members..."

"I also want to try to change my future."

Xia Chuan's attention has turned to this world.

I don't know what the new alliance did behind his back, but the changes in the Dark Universe during this period must be related in some way.

He must get back as soon as possible to avoid trouble in his own backyard.

"This world is now in your hands to continue protecting."

"Lypia!"

Asuka Shin helplessly watched as the Natsukawa giant's body flashed and disappeared.

This senior colleague always comes and goes in such a hurry.

"Why do people say you shouldn't face the future alone? Didn't you do the same, senior?"

Dudu, carrying the Victory Eagle Alpha, returned to the Kurak Call. Asuka, emerging from the light, regained his human form, tidied himself at the entrance of the passage, cleared his throat, and, suppressing the weakness and pain from his physical injuries, entered the command room.

"I'm back……"

"So cool!" Mai Midorikawa stared in rapt attention at the image of Lypia frozen on the main screen. "Lord Lypia... he's so much cooler than Dyna! And so powerful..."

"What?" Asuka Shin, who had expected to be greeted like a hero, stared wide-eyed. "Mai, you didn't say that before! You cried and said you loved Dyna the most!"

"That was before, now it's Lord Lipia's turn."

"How could this be?"

……

Dark Universe.

As the giant Natsukawa stood outside the Tiga Dyna instance, watching the GUTS members reunite on Earth, he simultaneously felt Shinjo's intense emotional fluctuations.

Perhaps because he hadn't experienced much time, unlike other giants who lived for tens of millions of years, he clearly felt the passage of time.

It feels like just yesterday that I spent time with the Victory Team.

Unfortunately, he was destined not to stay; he could only keep moving forward, continuing to walk towards the future.

Otherwise, the bright world we see now will remain nothing but a dream.

"call!"

Xia Chuan withdrew his gaze and turned to the endless, deep darkness beyond the dimension.

In the face of the darkness of the vast universe, these copy worlds he saved are like tiny candle flames.

"The future surely belongs to the bright."

The giant's body returned to the frozen Land of Light.

As his foothold and temporary camp in the dark universe, the Plasma Spark Tower seems to be gradually reviving under the light of the dungeon, and its top looks even brighter.

Correspondingly, with the complete expulsion of darkness from the worlds of the Heisei Three Heroes—Tiga, Dyna, and Gaia—a new storyline was successfully connected.

"Ultraman Legends" is a movie series featuring Ultraman Dyna, Ultraman Cosmos, and Ultraman Zero.

A special world where the mysterious Ultraman Saga makes his appearance.

However, the dungeon still does not meet the unlocking requirements.

Besides Dyna's power, we also need Cosmos and Zero... but it seems that the Ultra Brothers can also light up the dungeon.

Xia Chuan's perception covers the Ultra Brothers TV world, which appears as a regular instance.

Perfect timing! While he's back in his home world, let the knights explore these TV worlds first.

The Ultraman TV episodes during the Showa era weren't too difficult; the B-class monsters were all elite bosses, and with his current power, going through them would be like a dimensional reduction attack.

Even when the knights are in danger, they can summon his power projection.

"Clang!"

Xia Chuan held the shimmering blue sphere in his hands and placed it on top of the plasma spark tower, then transmitted his will to the new knight system.

From now on, this place will belong to his Kingdom of Light.

Although I am still all alone.

After confirming that there were no other problems with the camp, the Natsukawa Giant floated out of the Land of Light and created a wormhole to connect with Hiroko Asami.

Returning seems to be more difficult than leaving this world.

Fortunately, he has the local identity of "Shinji Kaminaga" in this world, and the anchor connection between him and Hiroko Asami is particularly stable.

"Whoosh—!"

The tunnel of light unfolds, and Xia Chuan once again enters the superdimensional space, changing dimensions and embarking on his journey home.

They initially entered the dark universe via a hyperdimensional portal, and now it's essentially a return journey.

As the light path from the anchor point continues to zoom in, past memories gush forth like a fountain.

After five years of silent waiting, the hero's journey comes to an end. He receives the shuttle from Hiroko Asami and begins his knight evolution, eventually becoming the God of Knights and reshaping the world with the body of Ultra.

Then, in the dark universe, he was promoted from pseudo-A to S.

It felt like several eras had passed.

"Lypia?"

On the new alliance spaceship of this world, the Mefilas alien suddenly opened his eyes.

"So... he's coming back at this time? Perfect, I've waited long enough for this day."
