The beam of light, originally capable of piercing through anything, distorted after being emitted by Gatanozoa, eventually turning into dark energy along with those black mists, entering Ultraman Tiga's body.
Gatanozoa was not a mindless monster; as a dark deity, a hint of panic arose within him.
Gradually, Ultraman Tiga ceased absorbing the black mists. Dark red dark energy scattered from his body, completely enveloping him.
Following this, everyone witnessed Ultraman Tiga's timer lighting up with a blue glow within the dark energy, and his eyes changing back from dim to milky white. His entire body transformed into silver-black.
Under the condensation of dark energy, silver-black armor emerged on Tiga's body.
Hum!
An invisible wave spread out from Tiga, with him as the center, shattering the already dilapidated buildings nearby completely. Even Gatanozoa's tentacles swinging in the air were directly severed!
Chen Yu's consciousness gradually awakened, noticing the change within himself. He breathed a sigh of relief; his gamble paid off! The Ultraman Tiga Transformation Experience Card wasn't just limited to becoming Light Tiga!
Dark Tiga was still Tiga!
Watching his silver-black form, Chen Yu attempted to control his limbs to move but found himself unable to. "What's going on?" he wondered. To his surprise, he realized that Dark Tiga was acting independently, unaffected by his own consciousness. He was moving on his own!
Seeing Ultraman Tiga revived, the people were excited but refrained from shouting.
Because this revived Ultraman didn't seem like one of their own.
The pervasive dark power, the silver-black exterior, and the imposing posture all seemed to tell the people that this Ultraman was a ruthless killing machine!
And indeed, it was.
Dark Tiga roared to the sky and charged towards Gatanozoa, relentlessly pounding his fists on its carapace.
Chen Yu was dumbfounded; he hadn't moved, yet Dark Tiga had charged out on its own.
Now Chen Yu watched Dark Tiga's body, even feeling the impacts as it punched Gatanozoa. Despite not being able to control Dark Tiga, Chen Yu experienced its actions firsthand.
People breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Dark Tiga attacking Gatanozoa; at least, this dark giant wasn't here to add insult to injury to humanity.
In the shelter, nobody noticed that the faint glimmers of light that had appeared on the children were gradually fading away as Tiga fell.
Bang!
Gathering dark power, Dark Tiga struck Gatanozoa with a heavy fist in the same spot targeted by the three previous beams.
This blow elicited a painful roar from Gatanozoa. Looking at the continuously attacked carapace, small cracks had appeared.
With a forceful kick to Gatanozoa's head, Dark Tiga concentrated dark energy once again between his arms, releasing the dark Zeperion Ray.
The short-range impact seemed to inflict even greater damage on Gatanozoa. The resulting explosion sent Gatanozoa's massive body back a little, and Dark Tiga also retreated a few steps.
Just as Dark Tiga touched the arm that was inserted into the ground, he violently pulled it out, bringing out a large amount of earth and stone.
Then, he charged at Gatanozoa once more.
Chen Yu had expected Dark Tiga to perform some magnificent slashing with the arm ring against Gatanozoa, but after charging forward, Dark Tiga held the arm ring in both hands and relentlessly stabbed Gatanozoa's head repeatedly.
Sparks continued to fly on Gatanozoa's head, and from the black maw, it seemed that this fellow had indeed suffered significant damage.
Finally, Dark Tiga seemed unsatisfied with the arm ring's damage. He threw it aside and delivered punches to Gatanozoa's head, followed by the dark Zeperion Ray, fired directly into Gatanozoa's mouth.
Boom!
This explosion sent Dark Tiga flying out.
Gatanozoa continued to emit roaring cries, seemingly terrified by Dark Tiga's relentless attacks.
"The beast-like attack method... Dark Tiga is now relying on instinct in battle!"
Unable to control Dark Tiga's fighting, Chen Yu bore the backlash of Dark Tiga's injuries.
Getting up from the ground, Dark Tiga charged at Gatanozoa once again.
This time, Gatanozoa chose to defend.
Black mists enveloped Gatanozoa, forming into black energy balls in front of him, floating towards Dark Tiga.
At the same time, fireballs from the Zog family in the sky rained down towards Dark Tiga's location.
Faced with this pincer attack, Dark Tiga showed no signs of defense.
But Chen Yu almost cursed out loud: "Get out of the way! Dodge it! Can't you at least put up a barrier to block it?!"
Yet Dark Tiga remained unmoved, charging towards Gatanozoa again.
The fireballs in the sky and Gatanozoa's black energy balls simultaneously hit Dark Tiga, resulting in explosions one after another. The pain feedback tortured Chen Yu's consciousness.
However, what worried Chen Yu more was the fallen statue of Tiga!
If these attacks landed on the Tiga statue, it would definitely shatter it into pieces!
