Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

He was about to speak, but then a thought struck him, and he stopped talking.

As he stepped back, he smiled and said:

"I was just a kind-hearted person who happened to be passing by."

Seeing Minghui about to leave, Youlian stepped forward and called out anxiously:

"Wait! The ruler of darkness is about to awaken. Even Ultraman Tiga might not be able to stop it. Could you...?"

“Hey, but you’re the one guiding him toward the light, you should have some faith in him.”

But Minghui interrupted him, laughing:

"Don't worry, darkness can never completely obscure the light."

With that, he waved his hand gently, and his figure slowly disappeared into the corridor.

As Minghui left, Youlian stopped in her tracks. She stood there for a long time, then suddenly sighed:

"Light...of course I know the power of light."

"But this time, the opponent..."

"so horrible!"

Chapter 352 Hello, Great Conch! Goodbye, Great Conch!

Fire...

The flames that filled the entire world burned wildly, and billowing smoke, like a ferocious beast, surged and rose, obscuring the sky completely. Waves of scorching heat swept in, twisting and melting everything in their path.

Amidst the raging flames, several enormous black shadows appeared and disappeared, their hideous and terrifying bodies writhing, and large plumes of yellow gas spewing out from the vibrant flowers that bloomed at their tops.

In this apocalyptic scene, people with numb expressions moved mechanically, their eyes empty and lifeless, as if their souls had long been ripped away.

Only when the flames engulfed their bodies and the extreme pain surged through them did they regain a sliver of reason, their faces turning panicked.

Immediately following was a helpless and desperate scream:

what--

"what!"

Daigo Madoka, who was fast asleep on the table, was startled awake. He was covered in sweat and his eyes were filled with surprise.

"destroy......"

The words, spoken somewhat stiffly, still left Daigo with a lingering chill in his heart.

He recognized the dark figures that appeared in his dream; they were the same figures that had appeared not long ago, Qijielahua.

That was an evil flower that could spread pollen, intoxicating humans with beautiful dreams and causing them to lose themselves. It was because of it that the giants of light abandoned humanity and chose to leave Earth.

But that's all in the past, and Qijiela Flower has been destroyed by him. Yuan Daigu doesn't understand why he dreamed about it.

However, at the end of the dream, he seemed to see a deep darkness flowing down from the sky.

Thinking of this, a sense of unease welled up in his heart.

Daigo Madoka sensed something was wrong; this dream might not be so simple.

"The ruler of darkness...?"

At this moment, his expression shifted, and he vaguely remembered what Minghui had said earlier.

Then, he suddenly stood up and ran out of the command room.

He made several turns within the base, eventually arriving at a room and pushing open the door.

But he was quickly taken aback. Looking at the empty room, Daigo Madoka frowned:

"What about people?"

His gaze swept across the room, but he saw that the blankets on the bed had not been touched at all.

In other words, Minghui never returned after they parted ways in the command room.

"Where did you go?"

Madoka returned to the command room with a frown. He had been thinking about where Minghui might have gone the whole way, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Just then, as he arrived at the door of the command room, he heard a voice coming from inside:

"Ocean Patrol calling Victory! An unusual bulge has occurred on the seabed off the coast of New Zealand!"

"Ocean Patrol calling Victory Team..."

Upon hearing the sound, Madoka's expression changed, and he rushed into the room.

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

Meanwhile, in a deep sea area, Minghui's figure slowly descended from the sky and stood steadily on the sea surface.

He lowered his head and looked at the sea below, a glint of light flashing in his eyes:

"This is it, the nest of the giant conch!"

He had previously sensed a growing dark force in this world.

That dark power was growing stronger every moment, and now it had reached a terrifying level.

"He's about to fully awaken!"

Sensing the fluctuations emanating from beneath his feet, Minghui's eyes flashed, and he whispered:

"No wonder it's called the 'Ruler of Darkness,' this power is truly extraordinary."

Minghui felt a little heavy-hearted. He had long been curious about the strength of Gatanothor, this ancient evil god with a terrifying aura. Seeing him today, he was sure that he lived up to his reputation.

Although it has not fully awakened, Minghui can still glean some insight from the power it exudes.

Of all the enemies he had encountered, the giant conch shell beneath his feet was definitely one of the most formidable.

At the very least, in his perception, the evil Bodhi was inferior.

Of course, it can't compare to Dark Zagi who was resurrected in the final battle, but even before his resurrection, the dark power he possessed was not as vast as this behemoth beneath his feet.

"I wonder if I can beat this guy in my current form?"

Minghui raised his hand and touched his chin, muttering to himself.

He silently estimated in his mind that the result wasn't too bad.

In his normal state, he is capable of going toe-to-toe with Gatanothor, but it would probably be difficult for him to completely defeat him.

Only when he activates the Shining state can he be absolutely certain of success.

However, it also depends on how much hope he will give.

The Shining state is indeed very strong and can greatly enhance his strength, but the intensity of the enhancement depends on the amount of Hope Light consumed.

The more he expends, the stronger he becomes.

Like the Shining Tiga in the original work, which was formed by gathering the light of all mankind, Minghui couldn't even imagine what level that wave pushed Tiga to.

All he could say was that it must be absolutely terrifying!

He could only speculate, since he had never before been able to squander the light of hope so extravagantly.

"Tsk, Tiga, you've got to let me get a piece of the action sometime!"

Minghui clicked his tongue in envy and muttered something under his breath.

He is now dirt poor. A recent upgrade almost exhausted his hope. Although he still has some left, it is not much.

If you rely on accumulating experience slowly, it could take forever to advance to the next level.

If it were to activate several more "shining" effects in between, then the timeline would be even longer.

Fortunately, this is a godsend; no world is more conducive to Minghui obtaining the light of hope than the world of Ultraman Tiga.

Thinking of this, Minghui chuckled and a hopeful smile appeared on his face.

Just then, Minghui felt a sudden urge and sensed an unusual movement.

He lowered his gaze and stared into the distance beneath the sea.

Almost no light penetrates beneath the sea surface, and it gets darker the deeper you go, but this did not stop Minghui, whose gaze extended far below the surface.

There, he saw a huge figure heading straight for the sea.

The figure looked like a giant bird, with a sharp beak similar to that of birds, and its two eyes gleamed with a scarlet light.

Behind it are two brightly colored wings, each flap of which creates an underwater vortex and propels it even faster.

"Roar!"

A deep roar came from its mouth, stirring the seawater on the seabed.

Under Minghui's watchful gaze, the figure's speed increased, and in a short while, it approached the surface of the sea.

"boom!"

With a muffled roar, the churning seawater burst open, and a massive figure burst out of the sea, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky.

"Ancient Vanguard Monster, Zoga..."

Watching the receding figure, Minghui's eyes flashed, and he slowly spoke.

Zoga, an evil demon bird from the ancient past, is also a vanguard of Gatanothor and exists in plural form.

Minghui withdrew his gaze from the past and looked down at the sea again.

He could sense that there were many other beings on the seabed with the same aura as Zoga from before, but those auras were much weaker.

The Zoga that just now was the strongest of them, which is why it was the first to wake up.

The appearance of Zorgia signifies that Gatanothor's revival has reached its final stage, and its official appearance is not far off.

"Whoo~"

With a gentle exhale, Minghui ignored the departing Zoga. A thought flashed through his mind, and his Ultraman consciousness surged forth, forming a protective shield that enveloped him.

Then, protected, his body sank and disappeared beneath the surface of the sea.

The seawater beneath the surface was still churning from Zoga's actions, with swirling eddies everywhere, but this posed no obstacle to Minghui. He landed steadily, heading back in the direction Zoga had come from.
