Underground Shelter.
People in front of the screens watched the scene with fear and trepidation. Their concern wasn't for the ferocious Dark Tiga but for the fallen statue of Ultraman Tiga on the ground.
Ultraman Tiga had turned into stone, and people dreaded seeing the statue of Tiga shattered in the midst of battle. Ever since the performance by the Kiloeledians earlier, Ultraman Tiga, who had always protected humanity, had become a symbol of faith in their hearts.
Explosions erupted on the ground, and all eyes were fixed on the location of the Tiga statue. Even children as young as five or six clenched their fists, fearing that the next moment would bring the destruction of the Tiga statue amidst the explosions.
Faint glimmers of light danced around the people almost imperceptibly.
Until a fireball fell from the sky, landing precisely on the location of the Tiga statue.
Boom!
An explosion erupted on the ground, and flames burst forth, spreading in all directions.
People looked on in disbelief, some shaking their heads in denial:
"Tiga has sacrificed himself..."
"Tiga, he's really gone..."
"Daigo... Daigo!!!"
Finally, Lena couldn't hold back anymore and screamed in anguish.
At that moment, a voice rang out in the silent shelter:
"Tiga is not dead!"
Everyone turned to see a young child.
"Yes! Tiga is alive!"
"I believe in Tiga!"
"Ultraman Tiga will never die!!!"
Child after child's voice echoed in the shelter and across the darkened world.
The people around the children wanted to comfort them but didn't know what to say until they noticed the light emanating from the children's bodies.
A very intense light!
"Tiga will not fall!"
Hyuga's son, Yoshiki, was the first to stand up, mimicking Ultraman Tiga's transformation pose, clenching his fist!
Then, all the children with light surrounding them involuntarily raised their fists.
With strong conviction, humanity's hope erupted instantly upon seeing the light emanating from these children.
Streams of light soared into the sky from all over the world, converging in the sky above the battlefield.
Dark Tiga instinctively looked towards the light in the sky, while Chen Yu was overjoyed at this moment!
"The light! Humanity's light has finally come! Shining Tiga is about to appear!"
The light continued to pour into the fiery explosion where the Tiga statue had been, seemingly reconstructing Tiga's body.
To Chen Yu's surprise, perhaps due to the relentless battle of Ultraman Tiga being witnessed by the people, some of these lights even slammed into Dark Tiga's timer.
Yes, slammed in!
Suddenly, Chen Yu felt he had regained control of his body, while Dark Tiga's body was enveloped in a dark golden light.
"Could it be..."
Chen Yu thought of a possibility, feeling extremely excited as he sensed the convergence of dark energy and light power.
The Ultraman Tiga transformation card never said it could only transform into Light Tiga, nor did it say it could only become Dark Tiga.
Shining Truth Tiga is the true Ultraman!
The essence of Tiga is the combination of light and darkness.
Simultaneously possessing the power of light and darkness, that is the true Ultraman Tiga!
Under the envelopment of the dark golden light, Chen Yu's body reverted to a color scheme similar to Light Tiga's, except that besides silver and purple-red, there were also spiky black patterns.
Looking aside, Shining Tiga, enveloped in golden light, had already reappeared, raising his fist again and increasing his height threefold!
Facing Gatanozoa, Shining Tiga struck a pose and then looked at Chen Yu beside him.
At this moment, Chen Yu, whose height hadn't changed, felt a bit embarrassed but mobilized the light and dark energy in his body, attempting to make his body giant-sized.
To Chen Yu's delight, his giant-sized transformation was successful!
Under the envelopment of the dark golden light, Chen Yu also increased his height to that of Ultraman Tiga.
Facing the giant Gatanozoa before him, Chen Yu felt no pressure whatsoever.
In the face of absolute strength, the dark god was nothing but a joke.
Energy gathered before the timer, with Shining power and Light-Dark power swirling around Shining Tiga and Chen Yu's fists respectively. Then, Shining Burst and Light-Dark Burst simultaneously struck Gatanozoa, sending the colossal creature flying.
With a bang, Gatanozoa let out a roar, seemingly dazed by the blow.
After the strike, Shining Tiga didn't stop but instead stretched out both arms, crossing his wrists in front and expanding them to the left and right sides. Countless light particles converged from all directions, forming powerful energy in front of him.
Chen Yu did the same, except that unlike Shining Tiga, he gathered Light-Dark power, not pure light.
Shining Zeperion and Truth Zeperion rays were simultaneously fired at Gatanozoa, instantly blasting his body.
After the beams ceased, Gatanozoa's body seemed to short-circuit, sparking explosions.
Shining Tiga didn't stop there but, after gathering energy again, clenched his fists on both sides of the timer, releasing Timer Flash.
Similarly, Chen Yu released Truth Timer Flash.
Already battered by the twin Zeperion beams, Gatanozoa's body couldn't withstand the assault from the two timer flashes and exploded once again in a blaze of light.
As Gatanozoa's demise caused the black fog in the sky to dissipate, revealing the original daylight.
The Zoghs, deprived of their dark energy with Gatanozoa's destruction, fell one by one, lifeless.
Shining Tiga and Chen Yu exchanged a glance, then both dispersed into particles.
The particles belonging to light dissipated into the world, returning to humanity as their light.
Looking at Chen Yu before him, Daigo smiled.
He hadn't expected another human to transform into an Ultraman, and one so young at that.
"Hello there, Daigo, or should I say, Ultraman Tiga," Chen Yu approached with a smile, extending his hand.
Daigo shook Chen Yu's hand, then asked, "I still don't know how to address you."
"Chen Yu, and as for the Ultraman name, it's Tregear," Chen Yu replied, "but I can no longer transform into Tregear."
Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Daigo took out the divine light rod from his bosom and said softly,
"Actually, everyone can become the light with their own power, can't they?"
As he spoke, the divine light rod turned into particles and dissipated in the wind.
In Chen Yu's mind, the completion prompt for the mission also sounded.
