Katsuragi Masaru never imagined there would be such a day.
So, when he learned that Chen Yu was the mastermind behind releasing Gatandeja, he was filled with great anger.
Chen Yu had no idea that Katsuragi Keigo possessed such formidable abilities, capable of reviving Ultraman Tiga at this critical moment.
Initially, Chen Yu only considered that the M.A.C. system hadn't been developed, thus there was no device to transmit light to Tiga.
In reality, even if they had approached Katsuragi Keigo at that time, he wouldn't have helped Tiga.
To Katsuragi Keigo, Tiga was his nemesis.
At that moment, Shinjo and Munakata hurried in with several members of the police bureau.
"The black mist is approaching the main hall! Conventional firearms are useless against it!" Shinjo gasped.
"Here it comes!" Munakata, seeing the overflowing black mist, pushed Shinjo behind him and cautiously stepped back.
At this moment, the door to the main hall opened unexpectedly.
Mue's hands gripped three guns, emitting a buzzing wave towards the black mist.
Upon contact with the wave, the black mist vanished on the spot, as if it had never appeared.
"We succeeded!" Mue smiled and exclaimed, "With the antimatter wave guns, we can clear away this black mist and prevent the headquarters from being invaded!"
"Well done, kid!" Shinjo approached Mue and patted his back, saying with a smile, "You really have some skills!"
Mue's invention to deal with the black mist was within Chen Yu's expectations.
Katsuragi Keigo glanced at Mue with mild surprise, then prepared to leave the hall with an antimatter wave gun and Dr. Hachino.
"I need time," Katsuragi Keigo spoke before leaving, "before I can produce the light transmission device. We must find a way to stop the black mist from spreading... Otherwise, even if Tiga awakens, humanity will have perished."
Seeing Katsuragi Keigo leave, Munakata looked at Mue and asked, "Is there a way to mount this attack method onto the Falcon No. 2? We can pilot fighter jets to attack Gatandeja and prevent the spread of the black mist."
Upon hearing Munakata's suggestion, everyone thought it was a good idea.
Stopping the spread of the black mist would buy some time for Tiga's revival and give humanity a chance.
"It's not feasible," disappointingly, Mue shook his head, "these three antimatter wave guns were made using only a small amount of antimatter I managed to produce in the lab. It's impossible to mount them onto Falcon No. 2 without sufficient antimatter resources."
Chen Yu, who had been silent, walked out of the hall upon hearing Mue's words.
Jujou Hui, noticing Chen Yu's movement, quickly called out, "Where are you going?"
Now almost all the doors of the TPC base were sealed shut; Chen Yu wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to.
Upon hearing Jujou Hui's voice, Chen Yu paused for a moment, then continued walking forward and said, "I need... to go alone."
"The restroom isn't in that direction either," Shinjo remarked.
Without looking back, Chen Yu walked farther and farther until he reached a corner.
Because the door ahead had been sealed off.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu accessed the Reward Panel and claimed the reward for closing the Gate of Hell:
[Random Transformation Experience Card x1]
"Next, it's time to face the music!"
Saying so, Chen Yu chose to use the [Random Transformation Experience Card]. Suddenly, the card appeared before him, and the blank screen began to rapidly rotate.
Finally, under a shimmering light, the screen on the experience card stopped.
Chen Yu took a closer look, and the image on the experience card resembled an Ultraman very similar to Ultraman Tiga.
"Ultraman Tregear!"
Slightly stunned, Chen Yu felt a bit disappointed as he didn't draw something like Ultraman Saga.
But considering it, Ultraman Tregear was still pretty good.
Apart from having similar abilities to Tiga, he also had considerable combat power.
Dealing with Gatandeja, if he was careful enough, he should still be able to win.
If not... he could just impersonate Tiga and let the whole world shower him with light, directly wiping out Gatandeja!
After all, Tregear and Tiga looked alike, and light shines for anyone.
However, the light of the whole world was an unstable factor and might not necessarily be triggered.
If in the end, the light hadn't come through, then he would have to bid farewell to this world.
Reaching out to touch the Tregear experience card, it transformed into two streams of light.
One entered Chen Yu's body, and the other fell into his hand.
The stream of light in Chen Yu's hand turned into a heavy bronze divine light rod.
This bronze divine light rod was somewhat different from the one that appeared in the world of Tregear; it looked larger and felt heavier.
Chen Yu remembered that this bronze divine light rod was an artifact used to condense the power of stars during the super ancient period in the world of Tregear.
Of course, it could also transform into Ultraman Tregear under the use of Tregear's alter ego, Kengo.
"Kengo should be Tregear's true identity. I'm just an ordinary person; can I really use this thing?" Chen Yu had some doubts.
At this moment, footsteps approached from the corridor.
When Chen Yu realized it, Jujou Hui was already standing in front of him.
"Chen Yu, what are you..." Looking at Chen Yu, Jujou Hui's gaze fell on the bronze divine light rod in Chen Yu's hand.
"What's this, Captain Jujou?" Chen Yu smiled and asked.
"I don't know," Jujou Hui shook her head, "but I always feel a familiar yet unfamiliar sensation."
Hearing Jujou Hui's words, Chen Yu speculated that it should be related to her being a descendant of the Ultramen.
"Captain Jujou, I'm fine." Chen Yu continued, "Gatandeja is still releasing black mist. If we can't stop it, there won't be many humans left in this world."
In the original plot, it was because Daigo transformed into Tiga to stop Gatandeja that the release of the black mist was halted.
Otherwise, those refugees, even if they hid in underground air-raid shelters, would still be eroded and killed by the black mist.
"How do you plan to stop it?" Jujou Hui asked in confusion.
Chen Yu didn't speak, but turned around, raised the bronze divine light rod in his hand, and pulled the trigger!
Light shimmered in the TPC Marine Base, and a silver-purple-red tricolored figure pierced through the darkness, dispersing the black mist.
Floating quietly in the air, Chen Yu looked at his transformed body and nodded in satisfaction.
Just then, a bird's cry came from ahead.
A Zetton spat fireballs and rushed towards Chen Yu's position!
