Chapter 146 Tiga vs. Daga
The Shinjuku district of Tokyo in the real world.
Ultraman Tiga is wreaking havoc in the city, constantly blasting surrounding skyscrapers into ruins with his purplish-black beams.
Above the ruins of Shinjuku, Tiga was conjuring a purple-black sphere of destructive energy towards the retreating crowd below.
In that instant, a black and silver light fell directly from the sky, and Daga crashed to the ground, his body blocking the attack that Tiga had just launched.
"That's... another giant?! The very same statue that was destroyed at the beginning! He's been resurrected!" Vice Captain Munakata, inside the cockpit of the Flying Swallow II, was stunned when he saw Daga's cold, slightly upturned eyes.
"But how did he recover... and the stripes on his body... are a mix of black, silver, gray, and red, and his eyes... such a terrifying aura..." Horii, acting as an assistant, piloted the Flying Swallow II alongside Munakata.
Daga twisted his neck.
Although this was the first time he had mastered a giant's body, the physical memories of Daga fighting monsters 30 million years ago, along with his own genius-level brain, perfectly blended together at this moment.
It was as if this body was his own, without any reservations whatsoever.
"Girambo, you who only dares to hide in the shadows of Halloween, sucking the dreams of children," Daga's voice rang out. "Who gave you the audacity to impersonate a giant on this planet with such a twisted appearance?!"
The moment Tiga saw Daga clearly, the fake Tiga's face showed terror, and he stretched his hands forward, releasing a wide range of purplish-black energy blasts.
"Too slow."
Daga's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, leaving only an afterimage.
As the successor to Tiga's body and all his fighting characteristics, Masaki Keigo's fighting style is much more efficient than Daigo's, who only inherited Tiga's beginner skills.
Before Tiga could react, Daga had already appeared on its right side, delivering a powerful punch that flashed with black light, directly to Tiga's right cheek.
Tiga's body was sent spinning several times in mid-air by Daga's punch, before crashing into the ruins of a shopping mall behind him.
Tiga struggled to his feet, crossed his arms in front of him, and then spread them to the left and right, attempting to launch the Zepelion Ray at Tiga.
"You dare use the Zepelion Ray in front of me? Don't even think about it!" Daga jumped up instantly.
Daga's right leg struck Tiga's wrist from mid-air, forcefully interrupting the opponent's charging beam and preventing him from firing the Zepelion Ray.
Kieranbo let out a scream, and the body of Tiga, which he had forcibly transformed into, began to show various cracks during the battle between the two. The giants of light that the children had dreamed of and created were gradually dissipating.
"Die, Tiga." Tiga crossed his arms in front of his chest, then opened them into an L shape.
"Dark Zeperion Ray!" A beam of silver-black light shot towards Ultraman Tiga in an instant.
In the beam of light, Tiga's body began to explode completely within seconds. With a scream of despair, the extradimensional being Giranbo was utterly reduced to countless particles of light under Tiga's overwhelming power.
At the moment Kiranbo died, two things fell from mid-air.
Similarly, those golden orbs of light, formed from the dreams of hundreds of children, which she hadn't yet fully used, eventually scattered in all directions and flew back to various cities, giving those children new dreams instead of a boring life.
The other thing is the Spark Lens, Tiga's transformation device.
The Spark Lens eventually fell onto the ruins, and Daga reached out and caught it in mid-air.
"Is this the light of Ultraman Tiga...? Is this the real transformation device?" Masaki Keigo looked at the Spark Lens in his hand and began to laugh wildly.
He turned his head, glanced around at the several GUTS fighters circling nearby, and uttered his final words: "Tell TPC, this planet doesn't need a weak Tiga who loses his power at the most crucial moment. I, Tiga, will take over all the defense power of this planet from this day forward! I will succeed Tiga as the guardian of Earth!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Daga instantly flew up and transformed into a streak of black and silver light, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Deep within another dimension, the battle to protect dreams has come to an end.
As Lina shattered the last translucent bubble with her final shot, a deafening sound of breaking glass echoed through the amusement park's otherworldly sky.
"Daigo! Shinjo! All the children have escaped the alternate dimension, everyone has been rescued..." Rena knelt on the grass, exhausted, her chest heaving.
"Durban! Well done!" Xincheng patted Durban's round belly.
Xiao Yan had also shrunk back into Kaul's combat device. In order to take these three exhausted guys back, Kaul had no choice but to let them ride in the Drum patrol car.
On the way back.
Daigo leaned back in the back seat, looking at his empty arms, feeling a little sad.
"Mr. Kaul..." Daigo's voice was very weak, as if something was missing from his body.
"I know what you want to say, Daigo," Kaul, who was driving in front and wearing sunglasses, glanced at Daigo in the rearview mirror and sighed.
"The Spark Lens is indeed missing. I just searched the entire city. After Girambo's death, Masaki Keigo took it. He now has two powers belonging to the Giants of Light."
Daigo clenched his fist.
"I...I am truly unworthy of this power. I was so easily robbed of my light by a monster, and I almost caused all the children to die in their dreams because of me."
Lina, standing beside him, wanted to hold Daigo's hand, but she awkwardly pulled it back. Usually, Daigo was a strong child, so why was he acting like this at this moment?
"Daigo, it's not your fault. That monster was too despicable. He took advantage of our feelings..." Rena comforted him softly.
"No, Lina, Mr. Kaul is right." Daigo looked up, a hint of self-reproach in his eyes.
"If I only treat it as a tool, then I will always be passively accepting its choices instead of using this light myself. If I want to gain its approval, I must face all of this."
"Advisor," Daigo said, looking at Kaw, who was resting with his eyes closed in the passenger seat, "please give me Masaki Keigo's address. I need to see him, even if he's stronger than me. I'm going to reclaim what belongs to me, and to humanity!"
