Ultraman: He captures EyeQ at the start, a righteous and fun-loving man.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to get you all killed together..."

He understood that Zigela was a product of Earth. Once destroyed, the father and daughter, who relied on Zigela essence to maintain their brain activity, would soon die.

Luke, however, revealed a slight smile.

“I’m the one who should apologize, Daigo. Humanity has proven to me that they have surpassed us from 3000 million years ago.”

He looked down at the crowd, especially at the father and son embracing.

"Escape the illusion of dreams and confront the painful reality. Strive to live out your short life, leaving your achievements for future generations to inherit. Humanity progresses slowly in this cyclical way. It's truly remarkable..."

They smiled, and the father and daughter spoke in unison.

"You've shown us what true life is. Thank you, Ultraman Tiga... Thank you, Daigo!"

Watching his figure gradually fade away, Tiga flew into the air and disappeared into the rising sun.

In the hollow where Qijiela resides, Baiyue's figure emerges from the ground. She extends her right hand.

A section of root lay prominently in the palm of my hand. It was the root of the Zigela that had not been completely burned and was buried in the soil.

It has to be said that they were quite lucky. After all, even monsters weighing tens of thousands of tons couldn't withstand Tiga's high-temperature explosion, yet they managed to escape by being buried in the ground. You could only say they were buried quite deep.

The voice of Earth's will echoed in his mind, a voice that was neither melancholy nor joyful.

"You win. He is now both light and human, which is why he became the lead dove... What do you want me to help you with?"

Bai Yue stroked the root in her hand.

"I will tell you when darkness falls."

The will of Earth remained silent for a moment. Then it suddenly spoke.

Would you like to adopt Zigela?

Bai Yue paused. He didn't have any ill feelings towards this Qi Jiela.

To put it bluntly, this was simply Zigela completing its mission on Earth. It didn't intentionally kill anyone, nor did it cause any destruction. One could argue that its crimes didn't warrant death.

Its purpose was to test whether humanity could restrain itself from moving towards a new era. Now it can be considered to have successfully retired.

Blown away by a high-temperature explosion... I guess you could say it's a successful retirement... or something?

The will of Earth continued.

"At that time, I was desperate, so after creating Zigera, I left it alone. It faithfully carried out its mission, coming out to put civilizations to rest whenever they were about to be destroyed."

It said hesitantly.

"It might be happier if it goes with you. Consider this my request... It's okay if you don't like it."

Bai Yue stroked his chin. Accepting Qi Jiela wasn't a big deal. He was mainly thinking about the Reonic Force that he had overlooked.

To be precise, it is the power of Reonicus fused with the power of light.

The fused Reonic Force has significantly increased radiation performance. Bai Yue is also considering whether to enhance Gedi's combat capabilities by creating hotspots.

Looking at the Zigela in her hand, Bai Yue felt that, as an Earth monster, it was definitely more adapted to the light of Earth.

If Zijella could be converted into a combat force, the terrifying reproductive ability of plants, combined with Bruton's spatial displacement, would be enough to create a powerful control effect.

Bai Yue channeled the energy within his body into the root of Qi Jiela. To prevent damage, he channeled it little by little at first.

Soon, these rhizomes sprouted more roots, which climbed all over the white moon's hands. At the center, a yellow, oval flower bud was about to bloom.

Bai Yue smiled slightly.

"In that case, I'll accept Zigela without hesitation..."

..............................

Bai Yue gained a new monster, and humanity's will was elevated. But Daigo was in a terrible predicament.

He sat in a chair. Around him were his fully awake team members. Captain He Zejing, the director, watched with a smile.

The magic wand was passed around among the people. Everyone who got one touched it several times, almost polishing it to a patina.

Taking advantage of Bruton's observation of Daigo's embarrassed expression, Bai Yue felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

That's the expression I want to see... that embarrassed expression!

Chapter 81 Daigo being watched

Unaware that Bai Yue was turning into a peeping tom, Daigo sat awkwardly in his chair.

Shinjo handed the Spark Lens to Horii, then put his arm around Daigo's neck, laughing and scolding him.

"You little brat, you didn't even tell me you were Ultraman! Every time a monster appears, I can't find you anywhere. You make me worry for so long every time!"

Horii stroked the magic wand in his hand, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Such a small thing can actually turn humans into giants. If we can figure out the principle behind it, it can be said to surpass all scientific research achievements throughout history."

Lina looked at the magic light stick and said, seemingly worried.

"It's not a good thing if everyone becomes a Titan, is it? Like so many Titans in the ancient times, didn't they eventually die in a civil war..."

Shinjo looked at Lina and said strangely.

"Lina, why do you seem so unsurprised? Did you already know all along?"

Daigo looked at Rena with a puzzled expression. After all, Rena was the one who made him feel the most guilty at the scene.

Lina said softly.

"Actually... I saw it in the rearview mirror during the Gates of Hell incident."

"Daigo, you were covered in wounds and ran behind a house, and that's where Tiga appeared."

"Izayoi said with a smile."

"Actually, I also wondered if it was just my imagination. When the Kirieloids first appeared, I vaguely saw you emitting light, and then you were in Tiga's hands."

Shinjo was enjoying his melon-eating, occasionally making sarcastic remarks about Daigo. Horii, unable to bear it any longer, retorted.

"You still have the nerve to laugh? You always crash your plane when you're fighting monsters. Luckily, Daigo is Tiga, sitting on the same plane as you. Otherwise, you would have been eaten by the monsters long ago."

Shin-joo scratched his head and said defiantly.

"I'm TPC's ace pilot! And if I don't crash, how will Daigo transform?"

Unlike the others who were excited, Lina asked with concern.

"Daigo, you have to fight monsters at close range every time you transform into Tiga. It must hurt a lot. Are you okay?"

Daigo revealed a gentle smile.

"It's my responsibility as a member of the winning team, and I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do."

Zongfang patted him on the shoulder happily.

"Good lad, you didn't let the Victory Team down!"

Sawai said with a smile.

"When I first met Ultraman Tiga, I really thought it was a god who came to save humanity. Only now do I realize that it was Daigo who had been protecting us all along."

He suddenly asked.

"Daigo, are you interested in taking over the position of TPC director?"

Daigo was startled. He waved his hand shyly.

"Let's forget it, Director. Putting aside my identity as Tiga, I'm just an ordinary person."

Director Sawai sighed with slight regret. However, he didn't insist, since he could tell that Daigo Shi wasn't there.

Nori, who had been silently flipping through "The Dark Lord of the Ancient Times" without saying a word, suddenly scratched his head. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke to Daigo.

"Daigo, this book says that your three forms were obtained by plundering the three powers of your former comrades, one of whom was Tiga's lover... Is that true?"

The atmosphere instantly turned cold. Everyone present turned to look at Lina.

Lina felt a surge of anger rising upon hearing this, but she forced herself to calm down. She looked at Daigo and spoke gently.

"Daigo, your unusual reaction when you saw this book last time was because of them, wasn't it...?"

Hearing Rena's question about death, Daigo felt uneasy, yet also secretly pleased.

Does this mean that Lina actually cares about him?

At Bai Yue's home, with the help of Bruton, Bai Yue drank cola and ate snacks while watching the live broadcast.

Seeing Lina's question and Daigo's reaction, he couldn't stop smiling.

I really wanted to smooth my smile, but I couldn't help but smile.

It's so strange. He's supposed to be Ultraman, but he can't seem to control his facial expressions. Right now, Bai Yue's expression is like that of a superhero; he's about to lose control.

Daigo said after careful consideration.

"When I last saw that book, many strange visions appeared before my eyes. I saw myself radiating silver light, and then I fell into darkness. Three giants followed me."

Ye Rui raised his hand like a good student.

"Indeed, what Daigo saw matches what was said in the book. The later plot is that Yuzare, the captain of the ancient guard, persuades Tiga to give up the darkness and takes away the power of his companions and lover to become the light."

Zongfang stroked his chin and raised another question.

"It's not surprising that Daigo, being Ultraman Tiga, can see these things. But Captain... why can you see them too?"

Everyone recalled Daigo and the captain's strange reaction last time and looked at Megumi.

Daigo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced gratefully at the vice-captain. For some reason, he had a feeling that continuing this topic would trigger some kind of death flag.

"Izayoi touched her forehead and said uncertainly."

"What I saw was myself standing in front of Dark Tiga, and then Gijera blooming on the earth. That's all I know..."

As a researcher, Horii walked to the time machine. He had prepared in advance.

As the time machine restarted, You Lian appeared. Unlike before, she didn't repeat her mechanical words this time. Instead, she looked around and sighed.

She looked at Daigo and said something that no one had ever heard before.

"There is only one way to revive the giants, and that is to turn Daigo into light..."
