But he did not fall; he stood firm on the ground like a broken but unyielding wall of sighs.

……

"What...what's going on?"

Duan Zilian stared blankly at the giant in the window who was being passively attacked.

Then, his gaze fell on the stone statue of Ultraman Tiga not far away.

Although the giant remained in a stone statue state, at some point, the color timer on its chest began to glow with a faint blue light in the endless darkness.

Duan Zilian stared at him blankly, then suddenly felt her eyes well up with tears.

"I see... Ultraman Tiga."

He suddenly laughed, laughing so hard that tears almost came out.

"That's true. You are Tiga, the giant of light. How could you die so easily? Even if you're just an empty shell, you can get back up quickly."

"However... it seems I can no longer be your human form, after all, I am already dead."

He looked bitterly at his translucent hands, then swallowed hard, as if he had made some enormous decision.

"Tiga".

He looked intently at the giant, his expression a mixture of pleading, prayer, and unwavering conviction.

"Please, Tiga, help these people, help me... defeat that Kirieloid, and then choose a better human host to continue protecting this world."

He looked at Ultraman Tiga and suddenly felt a surge of warmth for no apparent reason.

Indeed, the giant's body is enormous, and... indeed, it is beautiful.

……

"That giant...he needs light."

Hong Kai and Wei Lai watched this scene with red eyes and trembling bodies.

Suddenly, a deep and familiar voice came from beside them.

The two of them suddenly turned their heads to the side.

A blond man in a yellow shirt was standing next to them, arms crossed, his unfathomable gaze fixed on the battlefield, exuding an air of extreme confidence.

"Who are you? Where did you come from..." Hong Kai clenched his fists warily.

"I said, that giant needs light, right?" The blond man ignored Kai's hostility and pointed at the giant, as if confirming something.

“That’s true. But the light within him has dissipated, and he’s just an ordinary…” Future frowned.

"Then that's it!!"

On the dark horizon not far away, Daigo suddenly raised the megaphone.

He shouted to the whole world in a hoarse voice:

"Everyone, it's light, it's light!!"

"Tiga needs light! Give light to Tiga!!!"

"Well said!!!"

Hong Kai and the man next to Wei Lai suddenly let out a deafening roar, which made them both tremble.

Everyone turned to look, and saw the man clapping his hands wildly, his face almost overflowing with madness.

"Teacher Teino?! What's he doing here?" Totsuka Saika exclaimed from the side.

"That giant needs light, so! I brought this!!!"

Di Ye Jin suddenly let out a sharp whistle.

"squeak--!"

Suddenly, a modified heavy van roared down the slope not far away.

The surrounding crowd scrambled to the sides, and then the van came to a smooth stop in front of Di Yejin with a wild fishtail.

A man with long brown hair jumped out of the driver's seat and wiped the dust off his face: "Boss, your order has been delivered."

"You've worked hard, you can step down now!"

Di Yejin strode forward and kicked the van hard.

Snap! The car's outer shell instantly disintegrated and fell off, revealing a huge searchlight. Its size was such that a crane would be needed to move it.

"Military-grade large-scale air searchlight!"

Di Ye Jin pushed up his reflective glasses, spread his arms, and laughed wildly: "At the turning point of history, in the face of boundless darkness, this is undoubtedly the sharpest sword to tear through the night! Wryyyyy—!"

He abruptly pulled the power switch.

—Buzz! !!

A thick beam of intense light instantly tore through the darkness, illuminating the giant who was passively attacked not far away as bright as day.

The entire coastline seemed to be illuminated.

After a brief moment of closing their eyes to adjust, the people around seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Give the light to Ultraman Tiga..."

"Turn on your phone! Quick!"

"Quickly turn on your phone's flash!"

Led by Daigo Madoka, Susumu Teino, Kai Akira, and Mirai, the citizens along the coastline all took out their mobile phones.

One lamp, ten lamps, a hundred lamps... Car lights were turned on, flashlights were switched on, and all available light sources converged into a reversed Milky Way, rushing madly toward the giant.

This is not over yet.

Suddenly, all the buildings in Chiba lit up at the same time, the light so bright it seemed like daytime.

"What?! What's going on?! What are you insects trying to do?!"

In the sky, the Kirieloids looked at the all-white buildings around them and suddenly let out a piercing roar.

……

Tokyo, in a dimly lit room.

An excited teenager was frantically typing on the keyboard, and a waterfall of data was scrolling rapidly across the screen.

"I told you! Tiga is definitely going to be good!" the boy shouted into his headphones. "Ishigami! Is the entire power grid in Chiba at maximum power right now?"

"more or less."

The voice of Yu Ishigami, slightly tired but unable to hide his excitement, came through the earpiece: "Vice President Shinomiya has ordered the cutting off of all unrelated industrial power. All energy has been diverted to the main city's lighting system. Well done, Nozue."

"Well done! I'll take my leave now. It was a pleasure working with you!"

Ye Rui ripped off her headphones and tossed her long hair.

"Okay, goodbye."

On the other side, Yu Ishigami looked at the screen next to him, which showed the surveillance footage of the seaside park that he had retrieved.

On the screen, the blond man standing next to the searchlight was laughing wildly. Upon seeing this, Ishiyama Yu's eye twitched: "Is that... Professor Teino? These adults are really messing around."

……

Deep within consciousness.

Duan Zilian was looking at Ultraman Tiga, but the stone statue still did not respond.

"As expected... it won't work..." He looked somewhat dejected.

Suddenly, he felt an extremely strong force surging into this desolate space.

Those rays of light were like sharp lightsabers, tearing through the darkness around him and revealing the dazzling gold beneath.

"what?"

He was stunned by the light, and then suddenly turned around.

Around him, countless illusory figures appeared without his knowledge.

They held up their cell phone spotlights, flashlights, and a blinding beam of light, like a miniature sun.

The next moment, Duan Zilian felt that not only the coastline, but the entire city and the whole world were lighting up in his perception.

Those tiny lights, viewed from above, resembled brilliant stars in an endless darkness, with a giant sun at the center of those stars.

They gather, unite, and eventually ignite into a prairie fire.

Then he saw it; he saw the people behind those lights.

Hachiman Hikigaya with his dead fish eyes, Yukino Yukinoshita holding back her tears, Sakuta Azusagawa with his lazy yet determined gaze, Gai Kurenai, Mirai, Daigo, and Teacher Teino...

Even strangers who had once called him a "devil".

They all stood there, beside him, offering him that light without reservation.

“...Everyone…” He reached out his hand, looking at the blurry, unreal figures.

"Really..."

Duan Zilian felt the light constantly gathering into his body. He raised his eyes and looked at the dazzling starry sky illuminated by the light. Hot tears welled up in his eyes and finally slid down his cheeks.

"These idiots... Seriously, in the end they still forced me to get up! I was already so tired!!"

Although he was complaining, the happy tears in the corner of his eyes completely betrayed his inner thoughts.

Just then, he suddenly sensed something and turned his head sharply.

In that golden sea of ​​light, the petrified shell on Tiga's body was shattering inch by inch. As the last piece of stone peeled off, holy light soared into the sky, and the giant's whole body became dazzling.

The eyes, which had been dim, now lit up, burning with an inextinguishable light!

The color timer on his chest burst forth with a dazzling blue light, like a heart beating again in a desperate situation!

Tiga watched him quietly and steadfastly.

Duan Zilian and Tiga gazed at each other for a long time, until the warm light gradually enveloped Duan Zilian's entire body.

"I see... I understand now."

Duan Zilian suddenly laughed; it was the most relieved and joyful laugh he had ever had in his life.

"It seems that many things are destined from the very beginning."

"This is the dream I had! In my dream, everything was filled with dazzling light!"

He spread his arms and flew towards Ultraman Tiga.

Duan Zilian had a dream.

In his dream, he stood under a dazzling starry sky.

There was no wind or sound around.

Directly in front of him stood a towering giant.

The giant's body was woven from red, purple, and silver, and the colored timer on his chest radiated a sacred azure light.

then.

The holy giant slowly raised his enormous hand and stretched it out towards Duan Zilian.

Duan Zilian also faced the blinding light and stretched out her hands toward the giant.

"Tiga, it seems like this is something only the two of us can do!!! No matter how many imposters try, they couldn't possibly do it!!!"

Duan Zilian laughed wildly as he rushed towards the light with all his might!

"Come on. Now!!"

At this moment, two hands of vastly different sizes are intertwined heavily in the center of the Milky Way.

"Use your power for my purposes!!"

—Buzz! !!

Outside, the giant, shrouded in countless rays of light, unleashed a divine pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth in that instant!

From this moment on, Ultraman Tiga finally fully acknowledges Duan Zilian.
