They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

Ling Yu asked in confusion only after the spatial passage closed.

“Perhaps something happened that we don’t know about?” Ellie said.

However, there was a hint of mockery in her gaze as she looked at Ling Yu.

"Do you know anything?"

Ling Yu's senses were incredibly sharp, and he immediately noticed Ai Li's unusual behavior.

Then, without thinking twice, he simply hugged Ellie in his arms.

But soon, a pink fairy flew out of the soul steel body, turned its head, made a face at Ling Yu, and flew away into the distance.

"Hehehe, you can't catch me?!"

Chapter 160 Light and Shadow

Inside the dimly lit cave, a man in a gray suit with slicked-back hair was staring at the machine in front of him with a fanatical expression.

[Optical Genetic Converter] is its name, and the arrogant man standing before it is the protagonist of this story—Masaki Keigo.

Now, everything is ready.

But Masaki Keigo was in no hurry to start because he was waiting for someone.

A sharp gaze turned to one spot, where there was a passageway on the side of the mountain.

That was the passageway through which Daigo found this underground world, just like in the original story, when he followed the dog.

Masaki Keigo did not choose to close it off.

Because he needs Daigo's arrival.

In front of everyone in the chat group, he personally defeated Daigo!

Yes, the faces of everyone in the chat group.

At this moment, Masaki Keigo was live streaming.

From the perspective that only Masaki Keigo could see, comments would occasionally float past him.

Those were all comments from group members.

"Judging by the time, they should be arriving soon."

Masaki Keigo murmured, groping for the Spark Lens in his hand, the corners of his mouth curving into a smile that almost reached his ears.

It's clear how much anticipation and joy he felt.

"Daigo, you have to let me have my fill."

pat!

The sound of footsteps and pebbles hitting the ground rang out, and Masaki Keigo looked up sharply.

Then a handsome man dressed in a Victory Team uniform emerged from the passageway in the stone wall.

[Rimuru: Here I come!]

[Ling Yu: There's no way we can win. I don't understand!]

[Elena: Go! Righteous Ultraman Tiga, defeat the evil Masaki Keigo!]

[Aihara Ryu: As long as you don't destroy the city, you can do whatever you want.]

As he watched the comments scroll by, Masaki Keigo's lips twitched slightly.

He really wanted to complain: I'm the one who's a member of your group!

After calming his agitated mind, Masaki Keigo looked at Daigo, who was shocked by the two stone statues.

A slight smile played on his lips: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Daigo."

"It's you!"

Attracted by the sound, Daigo immediately noticed Masaki Keigo on the platform. His pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise.

He had a vivid memory of Masaki Keigo.

This mysterious man knocked him down with a single punch and kick, and stole his magic light stick.

"What exactly do you want to do!" Daigo asked, looking at Masaki Keigo.

"You already guessed it, didn't you?"

"Alright, enough with the chit-chat, or we'll keep the audience waiting."

With a playful smile, Masaki Keigo slowly took out the Spark Lens and placed it on the [Photogenetic Converter] in front of Daigo.

Daigo was startled and quickly said, "Stop! What if you use light created from a wrong heart!"

"Shh, you don't need to worry about that. It's naturally within my consideration." Masaki Keigo gestured for Daigo to be quiet, and at that moment, he had already activated the [Optical Genetic Converter].

Arrive at the center of the conversion device.

"Watch out, you're not the only one chosen by the light."

"Humans, too, can become light through their own abilities!"

Masaki Keigo slowly opened his arms.

Stimulated by the electric arc, the light bar placed on the instrument lit up.

Then, just before being converted into light particles, Masaki Keigo's shout echoed in the empty cave.

"Witness it with your own eyes, this is the moment of ascension to godhood!"

The human body disappeared, replaced by countless pure white light particles.

To Daigo's astonishment, these light particles, following a pre-calculated trajectory, all flew toward the crystal on the giant statue's forehead.

As white light flashed within the crystal, the giant, which had been a stone statue, instantly began to shimmer with pure white light.

It looked incredibly holy.

Thus, Masaki Keigo officially evolved himself into a life form of light.

Daigo, on the other hand, looked utterly bewildered: "How could such a thing happen..."

"He really succeeded."

Aihara Ryu, who watched the entire live broadcast, looked at the sacred giant's body with extremely complex emotions.

"I did it! I've finally evolved from a tiny human into a giant!"

Enveloped in white light, Masaki Keigo was extremely excited.

It seems that a long-cherished wish has finally been fulfilled.

however

Just as he was feeling smug, a few comments flashed by, instantly cooling his excited heart.

[Alicia: The moment of ascension to godhood? That sounds so familiar.]

[Ling Yu: Friendly reminder, Mebius.]

[Alicia: Right, it really is a line from Mebius. It brings back so many memories; I haven't heard her mention it in ages.]

[Alicia: Ling Yu, when are you going to keep your promise to help me dress Mebius in a little skirt?]

[Ling Yu: I'm available anytime. You pick a time.]

Watching the two of them start chatting amongst themselves.

Masaki Keigo fell silent.

Dude, I've evolved into a giant!

You guys gave me at least some kind of response, okay? I don't have to say you were shocked, but at least you talked about me a few times, okay?

Is it really okay to just leave me hanging like this?

Just as Masaki Keigo was about to make a comment, a comment about him finally floated over.

[Rimuru: Hmm, Evil Tiga isn't as good-looking as Tiga.]

Upon seeing this, Masaki Keigo frowned deeply: "To hell with evil Ultraman Tiga, my name is Masaki Keigo!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at Daigo, who was still in a daze.

To prove that he is better than Daigo.

then

Masaki Keigo pointed in the direction of the Spark Lens.

"You, transform into Ultraman Tiga right now!"

"I want you to know clearly that only I can lead humanity!"

Daigo suddenly realized something: "I never thought about leading anyone. I've just been doing what I can to protect this planet with all the people on it!"

"Therefore, I will definitely stop you!"

Daigo ran towards the high platform.

Because everything was planned out, there was no electric current to stop Daigo's steps this time, so he easily crossed the stone steps.

Take the Spark Lens back.

"I'll be waiting for you outside, Ultraman Tiga."

Masaki Keigo revealed a wicked smile, and his body, shimmering with light, flew outwards.

Daigo looked towards the spot where Masaki Keigo had flown away, then at the Spark Lens in his hand, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Then, he raised the magic light stick high.

A pale golden light shone forth.

A slender giant of light appeared in the cave and, without pausing, chased after Masaki Keigo in the direction he had gone.

Suburb

When Masaki Keigo landed, all 44,000 tons of weight pressed down on him.

In an instant, the earth shook violently, and countless stones and dust were thrown into the air.

He turned around and saw Ultraman Tiga gliding towards him with his arms outstretched.

Compared to Masaki Keigo's landing, Tiga's landing was much lighter.

The ground only trembled, without causing any further damage.

"Come on, Ultraman Tiga, let me see just how much you're worth, the chosen one of light!"

With his fists clashing, Masaki Keigo assumed a fighting stance.

Daigo inside Tiga also quickly assumed a fighting stance.

[Rimuru: Things are getting better; I can even fight Ultraman Tiga from a first-person perspective.]

[Alice: Good luck, Masaki-san!]

[Aihara Ryu: Not bad, at least you know to fight in the countryside.]

Ultraman Masaki Keigo has gained Aihara Ryu's approval.

[Ling Yu: Everyone, look at the incredible power of my parrot! I'm practically a god!]

Masaki Keigo: "..."

Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard chants sutras.

Selectively block those bullet comments.

Masaki Keigo chose to vent all the grievances he suffered from the group members on Ultraman Tiga.

As soon as he got close, he delivered a full-force kick, slamming it into Tiga's stomach and sending the latter sprawling.

Then, he stomped on the ground.

Masaki Keigo flew into the air, looked down at Tiga who was trying to get up, and quickly adjusted his posture.

The left foot is pulled in, and the right foot is extended.
