Chapter 156 Why Are Humans Chosen by the Light?
"Tiga, you bastard who's been assimilated by the weak emotions of mortals!" Masaki Keigo's voice rang out.
"Look at what you're protecting! Its Ebloon cells have gone berserk. If we don't destroy it on the spot, it will drain the entire city and even the surrounding power grid! This failed product, clinging to life by relying on alien cells, no longer deserves to live in the human world!"
On Dagana's right arm, his fingers pointed directly at Tiga, who had transformed into his powerful form and was blocking Ebloon's way.
Tiga maintained his Power Type stance, with his arms crossed in front of him.
Daigo's voice rang in Masaki Keigo's ear: "Masaki Keigo, it's not some failure! It's Sanada Ryosuke, a living, breathing person, one of our own. It just went down the wrong path, blinded by its inferiority complex and obsession with power. The light within us exists to protect life, not for you to stand on high and act as a tyrant who decides the life and death of others!"
"Foolish thinking!" Masaki Keigo said with great disdain.
Daga slid away from Tiga's front with a sliding step and slashed at Tiga's side with his right leg.
Tiga's body was sent flying by the immense force and crashed into a power transmission tower.
At that moment, Eberon, who was standing not far away, let out a mournful cry.
Countless blue arcs of electricity coursed across its body; its Ebloon cells had just absorbed an excessive amount of high-energy...
After the piezoelectric energy was applied, the self-destructive overload reaction began.
It scratched at the keratinized skin on its chest with its claws, each scratch bringing up large sparks. Its eyes, which were originally human, were now filled with pain under the blue electric light.
On the beach, Horii slumped to the ground, his clothes soaked through, his face streaked with tears of despair: "Ryosuke, it's me, Horii! Open your eyes and look at me! Don't go on like this, your body will break down!"
Didn't we agree to continue together?!
"Ryosuke...I'm sorry..."
Sayaka knelt on the grass not far away, covering her mouth with one hand, tears streaming down her face. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
"I always thought you were perfect. I thought you didn't need anyone's comfort or help. I never noticed your inferiority complex and pain... It's all my fault. Please, change back! Let's forget about being number one, okay?!"
These cries pierced through the Ebloon cells and struck directly into Ryosuke Sanada's soul.
Ebron's body stopped moving.
It lowered its paws, looked down at the well and Sayaka on the ground, and let out a whimper that sounded like crying.
The electric arc on its surface weakened.
But in Daga's eyes, this pause was a flaw.
"Since you cannot undergo a complete transformation, then take your pitiful and weak emotions and disappear here completely!" Daga gave Sanada Ryosuke his final fate.
He jumped up and delivered a flying kick.
Just as he was about to kick, Tiga once again blocked Sanada Ryosuke's path.
Tiga didn't use any beams of light or any fighting techniques. In that instant, Daigo almost instinctively used the resolve he had developed during his training with Koul to bear everything with his body, blocking the flying kick with his back.
He delivered a flying kick to Tiga's back, sending him flying to the ground where he lay down and began to reach out his arms.
"Ding-dong... Ding-dong... Ding-dong..." At this moment, the color timer on Tiga's chest turned from blue to red, and his power and time were running out.
"Dagu!"
Inside the cockpit of the GUTS Hyuga II, Munakata and Rena shouted, firing directly at Tiga to interfere with his attack and prevent him from continuing.
Tiga knelt on one knee, his hands braced on the beach, but he still did not take a single step back.
With his massive body, he shielded Sanada Ryosuke, who was panting in pain, behind him.
"A pointless sacrifice."
Tiga landed not far away and stood still. Masaki Keigo looked at Tiga, whose chest was flashing a red light, with only disdain for such emotions in his eyes.
"Your light is about to go out, Tiga. This is the result of your so-called love. In the face of rational reality, you and your world are nothing but superfluous."
On the beach, Kaul was standing there.
He looked at Daigo, who was struggling to survive amidst the flames and lightning, and then at Masaki Keigo, who stood there proclaiming himself a god. He muttered to himself, "What a foolish and arrogant fellow, Masaki Keigo. You always think you can see everything from the sky, but you don't know that the light on you has now become a dim light. And Daigo... he is using his actions to tell this planet why humanity was chosen by the light."
Daga had already crossed his arms in front of his chest, and the dark Zepelion beam began to gather.
"Since you're so eager to die together, then go to the deep sea and keep each other company, my dear giant of light friend."
Faced with this attack.
Daigo, inside Tiga's body, slowly closed his eyes. He ignored the alarm in his chest and instead fully immersed all his senses in the land he loved. This was what Kaul had taught him: to talk to the Earth and to talk to nature.
"No... I will never give up... because someone is watching me, and behind me are humanity and our home."
On the surface, there is Sayaka's prayer at the well, and even the desire to survive in the hearts of the civilians around who are plunged into darkness due to the power outage and are in a state of confusion.
These originally faint but pure lights continuously merged into Tiga's nearly extinguished timer, after he had exhausted his strength following numerous attacks.
The red light then returned to normal.
In the last second before Daga was launched.
Ultraman Tiga moved.
Instead of confronting it head-on, he flashed a blue crystal light on his forehead, transforming into an aerial form representing speed, and dodged the oncoming Dark Zepelion Ray.
"What?!" Daga exclaimed in surprise.
The aerial form of Tiga had already appeared beside Daga. Instead of throwing a punch, he drew a golden arc in front of him with both hands, transforming himself and the light condensed from human will within him into a warm, gentle golden stream of light.
Daigo did not choose destruction, but instead poured all the energy that could soothe the pain into the body of Ebloon, who was struggling in agony due to electrical overload.
The Eberon cells that were originally raging and running rampant in Ryosuke's body were instantly neutralized and soothed upon contact with this warm light.
The mutated Ebloon cells in Sanada Ryosuke's body, deprived of electrical nourishment, began to die rapidly under the light.
