Chapter 169 Once Again, Become Light!
Dr. Kisaragi, who had just regained her senses from the mind control of the Monera aliens, stared blankly at the boy whose face was covered in tears but who still firmly believed in the miracle.
Her eyes, which were originally filled with lifelessness and self-blame, seemed to be pierced by this faint light.
She slowly took a step forward, crouched down, looked the boy straight in the eye, and her voice trembled with a hint of anticipation that even she herself couldn't believe:
"Can I become light too?"
The boy looked at the bewildered adult before him, and without any hesitation or doubt, he nodded forcefully and heavily.
"It definitely can!"
These four simple words, like a spark in the darkness, instantly ignited some indescribable emotion.
However, just as this spark of hope was about to take shape, a furious and cold roar abruptly interrupted this heartwarming scene.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Staff Officer Gondo, who had been slumped on the cold floor, suddenly sat up, gritting his teeth, his face full of resentment and stubbornness.
As a thorough militant and a proponent of weaponry, he simply could not comprehend this ethereal "light," nor could he accept that humanity's fate should be entrusted to children's fairy tales.
Dr. Kisaragi was not intimidated. She turned her head and looked at Advisor Gondo, her eyes undergoing a complete transformation at that moment.
It was an awakening that came after painful reflection.
"Humans are incomplete beings, and I have been very resentful about that."
Dr. Kisaragi's voice was low and filled with deep regret.
Like Gondo, she once attempted to use cold technology to compensate for humanity's fragility, even going so far as to create monsters like Prometheus.
"That's why we want to eliminate useless human emotions and create the ultimate weapon!"
Staff Officer Gondo retorted through gritted teeth, stubbornly clinging to his own theory.
"That idea is wrong!"
Dr. Kisaragi suddenly stood up, her voice rising abruptly, her tone filled with resolute determination and heart-wrenching regret.
"Without the power of the heart, one will ultimately become an enemy of humanity!"
Prometheus's loss of control and Desfasa's rampage were the most tragic price to pay!
Dr. Kisaragi looked around at the fearful faces in the shelter, tears streaming down her cheeks: "We've lost something important, this warmth... but we can't give up, we can't give up hope because of this!"
She whirled around, pointed at the boy holding the doll aloft, and shouted with all her might:
"Even such young children firmly believe in victory, so we can't just do nothing and wait to be destroyed! There must be something we can do! Humanity is not a meaningless existence; as long as we believe in our own strength, we can definitely defeat that monster!"
Dr. Kisaragi's heartfelt and powerful words echoed for a long time in the empty shelter, and also struck the hearts of every viewer in front of the screen.
Old Tang looked at the still-stern-faced Staff Officer Gondo on the screen, his tone somewhat complicated: "Staff Officer Gondo certainly wanted to protect humanity, but he went astray. He thought that by eliminating fear and emotion, creating weapons without weaknesses, he could win. But he forgot that what makes humanity great is precisely this beating heart that can feel warmth and fear!"
The chat in the live stream was also responding.
[Dr. Kisaragi has finally realized! Power without a heart is nothing more than a killing machine like Desfaza! Power without the will to protect is simply destruction!]
[Well said! Even the child hasn't given up, so why should the adults just sit on the ground and wait to die!]
[This dialogue is truly elevating! The core of "Dyna" isn't just about passion, but also about affirming humanity!]
[Old Gu's control over dramatic scenes is still so solid; this dialogue is simply textbook-worthy.]
I got goosebumps all over; what a glimmer of humanity in such dire circumstances!
In the movie, Dr. Kisaragi's words silenced Chief of Staff Gondo completely.
He lowered his head dejectedly, his clenched fists trembling slightly, as if at this moment he was beginning to reflect on his long-standing obsession.
And the people in the shelter, influenced by these words and the boy's words, slowly raised their heads.
At this moment, the heavy gloom in their hearts is being dispelled little by little, and the ice of despair is gradually melting away, transforming into a warm current called "hope".
The camera slowly pans across the faces in the shelter. In the darkness, tiny glimmers of light begin to appear.
"This is the light of the people..."
A little girl murmured to herself as she looked down at her hands, a warm golden light dancing on her fingertips.
"Light, the light of so many people! Always supporting us..."
"Ultraman Tiga!"
Among the crowd, not only children, but also more and more young people stood up.
In their eyes, there was no longer any fear of the apocalypse; instead, there was an unparalleled pure faith and memory.
As these innocent words rang out, their memories were completely awakened.
Seven years ago, when the evil god Gatanothor shrouded the world in endless darkness, it was the faith of children all over the world that transformed into light, flying toward the stone statue that had sunk to the bottom of the sea, creating an incredible miracle.
"Back then... everyone was fighting alongside Ultraman! Wasn't that right?!"
A boy clenched his fist, and his body began to radiate a dazzling aura. He shouted excitedly, "Me too! I've become light too, and I'll fight alongside Tiga!"
"I remember now, it wasn't a dream! I can become light too!"
"Go, Ultraman!"
"Go for it, Dyna!"
"Everyone, stand up! Stand up again!"
"Ultraman! Light!"
The cheers of countless people for Ultraman were initially just scattered stars, like faint flames.
But within seconds, the sound coalesced into a massive, ever-growing wave that reverberated violently throughout the cold, dimly lit underground shelter, deafeningly loud!
With this pure and unadulterated call, an incredible miracle occurred!
Golden rays of light burst forth from these children and even adults!
Countless rays of light intertwined, dazzling and instantly illuminating the entire vast underground space as bright as day!
Inside the shelter, the adults who had given up hope looked at the golden aura emanating from their bodies with shock and disbelief.
"How...how is this possible..."
"How could this happen..."
"Everyone can become light..."
The adults' eyes welled up with tears. They finally understood that the miracle that saved the world back then was not a vague myth, but a real power that existed in everyone's heart!
This immense light, born from the hopes, beliefs, and courage of countless people, transformed into a golden torrent that pierced through the thick layers of earth and the oppressive ruins of the city.
Inside Queen Monera, who was like a mountain of flesh.
Ultraman Dyna, who had been tormented by countless thorns and high-voltage currents until he had completely lost his luster and looked like a corpse, was quietly bound.
In the endless darkness of Shin Asuka's consciousness, he felt himself falling continuously, plummeting into a cold and suffocating abyss.
He could not hear any sounds from the outside world, nor could he feel his companions calling out to him; all he felt was a deep sense of powerlessness.
Just as he was about to be completely swallowed by darkness.
"Buzz—!"
A warm golden light, like a sharp sword piercing the long night, forcefully shone into his world of consciousness.
As the light poured in, countless familiar images flashed rapidly through Shin Asuka's mind!
That was a scene of the GUTS team's predecessors piloting the Hyuga in a fierce battle in the sky, never backing down!
That was a silhouette of someone wearing an old-style GUTS uniform, holding a Spark Lens, transforming into light in a desperate situation!
That is the indelible proof that all of humanity transformed into light, striving together with Tiga to shatter the darkness!
"This is... everyone's light..."
Xin Fei Niao murmured to himself deep within his consciousness, his soul trembling in the warmth.
He finally understood the true meaning of what his advisor, Megumi, had told him before—Tiga was invincible not because he possessed the power to destroy the world, but because his light was a collection of the light of countless people!
That is a bond, that is a legacy, that is humanity's will to never succumb to despair!
And now, this light has transcended time and space, responding to their expectations!
He extended his hand!
"Light!!!!"
……
outside world.
Over the K3 region.
The sky, which had been gloomy and oppressive due to Queen Monera and the alien spaceship, was suddenly torn apart by a vast and boundless warm golden light!
"What is that?!"
Queen Monera, who was wreaking havoc, and the Monera aliens hiding inside the spaceship, who thought they had everything under control, were both shocked by this sudden celestial phenomenon.
That immense energy of light instilled in them an instinctive fear.
Just then.
Accompanied by a melodious, sacred, and seemingly soul-cleansing special BGM for Ultraman Tiga's entrance, it exploded with a thunderous roar!
In a sea of warm golden light, the majestic figure that has haunted the dreams of countless people slowly descended!
A perfect body with red, purple, and silver colors, a streamlined fighting stance, and a pair of milky white eyes that seem to see through all darkness.
"That's Ultraman..."
"Ultraman Tiga!"
The people in the shelter watched the figure descend like a god through the monitor screen, weeping with joy and embracing each other in thunderous cheers.
In the live stream, Lao Tang got so excited that he jumped up from his chair, kicked over the trash can next to him, covered his head with his hands, and went into a frenzy.
"Tiga! It really is Tiga! He's back!!!"
Old Tang's voice was hoarse, and tears welled up in his eyes instantly, streaming down his face in front of the camera.
At this moment, the entire internet's bullet comments experienced an unprecedented explosion.
The screen was completely covered by a dense array of [Divine Descent] images, making it impossible to see the image clearly.
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!!!! Ultraman Tiga!!!]
[God has descended! This is a true miracle!]
[Kids! I've made my appearance!]
Come on! It's our turn!
【Ahhhh! My youth is back! My light is back!】
This performance was absolutely amazing! I'm bowing down to you, you old scoundrel! Those six dollars were totally worth it!
The moment I saw Ultraman Tiga appear, I, a grown man in my thirties, cried like a fool in the internet cafe!
[The moment the background music started, I burst into tears! Heirs of Light, you are never alone!]
Just as the entire internet was caught up in a frenzy of celebration, the camera gave a visually striking close-up of Tiga's arrival in the movie.
The Tiga that descended at this moment was not an ordinary composite type.
His body was bathed in an extremely dazzling and sacred golden light, and his entire body presented a transparent and shining appearance, as if it were composed of pure light particles!
The suit's pose is the same as the pose it took when it fought the Kirieloids and in its first battle against Gatanothor!
This ray of light was not emanated from any specific person!
The current Tiga is a miraculous form formed by the light of hope and courage in the hearts of all mankind that never gives up, transcending the boundaries of physics—Shining Tiga!
"As long as light remains in humanity's hearts, this guardian giant will never be absent!"
The film's overall message has reached its zenith.
I understand! This Ultraman Tiga is formed from the light within our hearts!
[It wasn't Daigo, it was all of us who turned into Ultraman Tiga!]
[The Shining Form of All Humanity!!]
[Instead of forcibly bringing Daigo back to sell nostalgia, they brought Tiga down through a spiritual legacy—ahhh! This is true light!]
[Daigo is still planting flowers on Mars; let's protect Earth ourselves!]
Everyone can become light!
On the battlefield, after Shining Tiga arrived, he did not hesitate or test the waters.
The first thing the hero does after appearing is to save his comrades who are trapped in dire straits!
He turned to face the enormous, arrogant Queen Monera.
Tiga squatted down slightly, then suddenly exerted force with both legs!
"Whoosh!"
Shining Tiga transformed into a golden streak of light and instantly rushed to the front of Queen Monera's abdomen.
Facing the incredibly tough, net-like thorn cage that even the Super GUTS team's high-tech firepower couldn't break in the slightest, Tiga stretched out his hands, and golden light gathered wildly in his palms.
He suddenly grabbed the thick plant tendril and let out a deep, powerful war roar.
"Cheer!"
With the blessing of the Big Brother's absolute miraculous power and dazzling light, Queen Monera's thorn cage was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper!
"Sizzle—!"
With a piercing tearing sound, the seemingly indestructible cage was ripped open by Tiga's bare hands!
Queen Monera let out a painful scream, her huge body convulsing in agony, unable to free her tentacles to attack Tiga!
Imprisoned within, Dyna, whose body had long since lost its luster, now revealed half of his body.
Tiga looked at his wounded junior, who had given his last bit of strength to protect humanity, and clasped his hands halfway around his waist.
The crystal on her forehead sparkled.
A pure, vibrant, and hopeful energy of light, interwoven with gold and green, flowed continuously from Tiga's forehead into Dyna's body.
Under the tense, breathless gaze of countless viewers.
"Ding-dong..."
A crisp sound.
The dim colored timer on Dyna's chest lit up with a bright blue light again!
Like a dried-up spring that has sprung up again.
Immediately afterwards, Dyna's milky white eyes shone brightly once again!
Nourished by this pure energy, he not only recovered his vital signs, but also his severe injuries from the previous battle were completely healed. His body was filled with an unprecedented sense of power.
"Dyna..."
"Dyna has been resurrected!"
Amidst the ruins, the defense troops who remained steadfast on the front lines, along with Captain Kibi, all shouted excitedly.
"just!"
Dyna suddenly stood up straight, clenched his fists, and tore off the remaining thorns that were wrapped around his body.
A glorious resurrection!
Dyna, now fully recovered, turned to look at Tiga beside him.
The two giants of light exchanged a glance amidst the swirling smoke and sunlight.
Although there was no verbal communication, the tacit understanding and inheritance that transcended generations was understood without words.
Tiga's expectations for Dyna, and the senior's affirmation for the junior, were all conveyed in that one look.
Dyna nodded vigorously, turned around abruptly, faced Queen Monera not far away, and assumed his signature fighting stance.
This is not only a resurgence of strength, but also a powerful declaration of the new era's warriors regaining their faith!
This also indicates that in this final battle concerning the survival of humanity, the real fight has only just begun!
In the live stream, the emotions of the viewers were completely stirred up to the climax by the well-paced rhythm.
[It's fired up! Dyna is back in full force!]
[The big brother is leading the little brother through a dungeon! Queen Monera, your time is up!]
[I'll remember this scene for the rest of my life! The brilliance of two generations converged; the sight was breathtaking!]
[The real battle is just beginning! A mixed doubles match between seniors and juniors—bring it on!]
Judging by this momentum, what's coming next is definitely a one-sided massacre! I've already prepared my popcorn!
In the image, two giants of light stand side by side.
Before them stood a gigantic plant monster, roaring and struggling in its death throes.
An epic battle with no suspense, yet destined to be recorded in the annals of tokusatsu history, is about to begin!
