Great, we're doomed now!

Then, ignoring the shells hitting it, it flapped its wings and flew high into the air, then turned upside down and swooped down toward the pyramid, intending to smash the statue to pieces with pure violence!

...It couldn't be stopped.

Daigo quickly realized Melba's intentions, but he also immediately understood that there was nothing he could do. His damaged mobile suit was probably not even qualified to be a shield, and whatever he did would be futile...

but!

However... failure is not a reason to give up!

I understand the reasons, but I still want to—

"Well!"

Ignoring the damage to the machine, he gripped the control stick tightly with his right hand and sent all the remaining power to the thrusters.

"He can still move... Let's go together!"

The main thrusters on the back of the MS spewed out thick blue flames, accompanied by a piercing overload sound, as the machine swayed and broke free from the beam of light, rising upwards.

But just as MS had escaped the pyramid ruins—

call!

A thick, dark shadow swept across like a steel whip, accompanied by a fierce wind!

It's Melba's tail!

It was too fast; Daigo didn't even have time to react.

boom!

MS was like a toy that had been hit head-on by a heavy truck traveling at full speed. Its entire body twisted and deformed instantly, and the cockpit glass shattered under the enormous force!

A dazzling fireball burst in the air, and the MS was instantly torn into countless burning fragments by its own explosive energy, like a rain of steel and fire, mixed with the golden light of the dissipating pyramid, which scattered down on the mountains and forests below.

The embers fell to the earth, leaving only Melba's mocking, piercing screech, echoing long through the valley—

It had just made a huge spin, as if it was waiting for Daigo to come up, and then instantly turned its body and rose again, its tail easily smashing the MS into pieces.

That scream was so piercing...

For the survivors of the ancient times, the Giant of Light was a terrifying and powerful being. The silence of the evil god also robbed them of the courage to fight against him, and they all hid away to wait for the next opportunity.

And now that opportunity has arrived!

Thirty million years later, it awoke from its hellish environment to find that the intensity of the entire world had plummeted.

Human technology poses no threat, and the Giant of Light is long gone.

What once terrified all monsters has now become lifeless stone statues, that is, corpses and tombstones!

This pyramid looks magnificent, but it's just a tomb.

How can it suppress its joy?

For the followers of an evil god, manipulating their prey is an instinct that needs no instruction.

Since you love humans so much, then savor the pain and despair they exude!

What can you do?

"Ooh~!!!"

Melba adjusted its posture in the air, folded its wings, cast a shadow covering the earth, and swooped down towards the stone statue again!

This time it's no longer a game; it's a complete departure from the terrors of the ancient past!

The energy sacs in the throat and the energy organs in the eyes simultaneously emitted a blinding red light, and three destructive beams of light shot out, determined to completely reduce these ancient remains to dust.

- Om!

The instant the beam of light touched them, an indescribable warm and vast golden radiance suddenly burst forth from below, filling the entire space!

Melba's descent came to an abrupt halt, as if it had crashed into an invisible wall. Its massive body was violently thrown back by the sudden burst of force, and it only had time to let out a startled cry before tumbling backward.

At the center of the light, the giant stone statue that Melba had first swept down had somehow risen again.

A layer of flowing light covered the armor on the statue's chest, the crystal timer lit up again, and then streaks of white light flowed along the body's lines. The stone shell instantly dissipated, revealing a huge body underneath with interwoven red, purple, and silver colors, smooth lines, and a sense of holiness!

The light of dusk blended with the giant's surroundings, casting a golden hue over the swirling dust and debris. In this hazy, ethereal light and shadow, the giant slowly raised his head and took a firm step.

Their eyes gleamed slightly, like stars rising early in the twilight.

Ancient Warrior, Giant of Light—

Ultraman Tiga, awaken!

"Ow!!!"

Melba shook his dizzy head and let out a shriek of surprise and anger.

It couldn't understand why the giants, who had clearly turned to stone, would come back to life, even though they had lost all signs of life!

Driven by instinctual ferocity, it was consumed by a destructive urge the moment it saw the giant. It stood on the ground, folded its wings, and charged forward like a moving steel fortress!

"just!"

Tiga faced the approaching demonic dragon and took a fighting stance.

While Melba's individual strength cannot compare to that of the giants, its absorption of a large amount of Earth's core energy and its iron armor give it a clear advantage in melee combat.

(Compared to the ancient era, its defense and strength have been enhanced, but its flight speed has actually slowed down.)

After several rounds of fighting, realizing that ordinary punches would hardly penetrate the surface of Steel Melba, Tiga performed a backflip to create distance. Upon landing, he calmly crossed his arms over the crystal on his forehead.

A flash of red light!

The purple markings all over his body were instantly covered by a more vibrant red, and the muscle lines of his body appeared even more robust and powerful.

In the blink of an eye, Melba had already rushed in front of him, its sharp claws like scythes, which were named "Cut Hands" by the terrified humans in the ancient times. Even the hardest alloys would be torn apart, and this dangerous thing was grabbing at Tiga's face with a shriek!

Tiga neither dodged nor evaded; his red right arm shot upwards like a cannonball to block!

Bang!

With a dull thud, Melba's claws were firmly held in place, unable to advance an inch!

It tried to swing its other paw, but Tiga was faster—

Tiga grabbed Melba's restrained forelimb with his right hand and pressed it down. He clenched his left fist, which was wrapped in a blinding red light like flames, and delivered a heavy uppercut that slammed into Melba's hard jaw!

Click!

The ancient dragon's tens of thousands of tons of body was directly blasted into the air, and the sickening sound of bones cracking could be clearly heard!

"Awooo!!" Melba let out a painful cry, its head jerking back high, and its massive body staggering backward.

Tiga pressed his advantage relentlessly, unleashing a barrage of heavy punches, kicks, and hand strikes that rained down on Melba's chest, abdomen, and wing roots like a storm. The destructive power of his red form was immense; each strike exploded into a dazzling shower of sparks. Melba's dark silver armor, capable of withstanding lava and missiles, cracked inch by inch under the relentless onslaught!

Melba shot a beam of light from its eyes, striking Tiga's chest almost at point-blank range, temporarily repelling the giant of light. It then shook its body, reopening its folded wings.

call!

The dragon soared into the sky, seemingly trying to escape. Tiga stopped his attack, took a half-step back, and crossed his arms, pulling them down—

The vibrant red was replaced by a mysterious and profound purple, and his figure seemed even more slender, exuding a sense of lightness and agility.

With a light leap, Tiga soared into the air, simultaneously raising his right arm horizontally. A purple-white light blade, condensed with high-density energy, extended from his right wrist, radiating a sharp aura.

"just!"

The purple giant streaked across the sky like lightning, not only catching up with Melba, but also unleashing a sharp sword strike the instant it surpassed the monster—

"hold head high!!"

Melba's wing broke off in half, and it fell down with a scream.

Tiga flipped upside down and plummeted downwards. Sensing a deadly threat, the ancient dragon instinctively raised its head and fired a destructive beam—

Whoosh!

The giant sidestepped, spotted Melba's exposed throat, and with perfect precision, his lightsaber pierced the crack and sliced ​​it completely downwards!

...The giant landed and crouched down, slowly stood up and put away his lightsaber, while the fierce light in Melba's eyes quickly dimmed.

The next second, with a not-so-loud explosion, the dragon lunged forward, landing on a mountaintop and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Battle over!

The timer on Tiga's chest remained azure blue. He turned around, finally having time to survey the mountains and forests bathed in the golden light of the setting sun. His gaze swept over the fading glow of the pyramids and the fallen giant statues.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked in a certain direction—

Their gaze traversed the vast distance, settling on a place separated by mountains and sea. Their crystal-clear eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of barely perceptible surprise.

The remaining consciousness within the body felt a strange joy, while Daigo Madoka, who had just come to his senses, was still in a dream, unaware of what this meant.

Who is that person heading in that direction?

Then, the giant shook his head, and his purple body shot into the sky like a rising meteor, quickly disappearing into the clouds...

-

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Somewhere, Ye Shou smiled knowingly.

He then turned around, entered the waiting [Bayeli], and flew rapidly northward.

This matter is settled, but there's still one last pyramid waiting for him to protect.

Chapter 282: This Victory Team Seems a Bit Too Strong (Bonus Chapter)

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~

The icy seawater pounded against the jagged ice floes, the air was almost frozen, and there was no movement at all. In this biting cold, the silver [Bayeli] seemed to have completely blended into it. Even though it was moving extremely fast, it was inconspicuous. From a distance, it was a vast expanse of white and could not be distinguished from the others.

call!

The aircraft suddenly accelerated, its blue tail flames streaking across the sky, and finally hovered over a sea area.

The energy detector showed an abnormal reading. Even with his eyes closed, Ye Shou could still feel that familiar aura. Without hesitation, he controlled Bayeri to dive down like a sword, splashing up huge waves.

After diving a thousand meters, the pressure came from all directions, but Bayeli easily resisted it with pale golden ripples emanating from his body. After diving several hundred meters further, the previously dark seawater suddenly began to distort imperceptibly to the naked eye, as if a transparent film had been drawn over it.

Ye Shou narrowed his eyes slightly, and Bayeli charged straight at him without slowing down—
