Another column of light fell near Zijerala's main body.
To the surprise of the onlookers, a second Ultraman Tiga appeared.
Da Gu, equally surprised, looked at Chen Yu. This was not as they had discussed:
"Chen Yu, hadn't we agreed to wait for humanity to change its stance, not to act until the very last moment..."
"What the heck..." Chen Yu, charging towards Zijerala, declared, "I want Zijerala, the biggest Zijerala!"
This declaration completely baffled Da Gu.
Had Chen Yu also been seduced by Zijerala's pollen?
Yet, this seduction seemed different from that of ordinary people.
If Chen Yu were to twist off Zijerala's bud, would that not mean the end of Zijerala?
Wouldn't things revert to their original state in the end?
Da Gu wanted to act, but he was suspended in the air by Zijerala's tentacles, unable to exert any force.
Chen Yu seized the opportunity to rush in front of Zijerala's bud, grabbing the largest flower and yanking it backward forcefully.
Zijerala, a monster with its own consciousness, felt something was amiss with Chen Yu's frenzy.
It seemed he wasn't here to harm Zijerala, but for its pollen!
The super ancient humans, Luke and Dina, watching from a distance, were astounded.
Another Giant of Light, another Ultraman Tiga?
Was Ultraman Tiga being mass-produced nowadays?
Dina, beside Luke, asked, "Dad, how many Ultraman Tigas are there that interfere with human choices?"
Luke found himself at a loss for words. Neither one nor two seemed correct now.
"Zijerala won't survive the attack of two Ultraman Tigas," Luke stated. "Let's try to collect as much of Zijerala's essence as we can."
...
Chen Yu's assault was frenzied.
Zijerala screeched as Chen Yu pulled it, its sharp-toothed mouth biting towards him.
However, Chen Yu, seemingly crazed, was unafraid, grabbing the mouth and sniffing furiously, almost causing Zijerala to pass out from the smell.
To deal with Chen Yu, Da Gu was released by Zijerala, its tentacles now attacking Chen Yu.
Seeing his efforts to pull off Zijerala's bud were futile, Chen Yu grew frustrated.
He transformed into his powerful silver-red form, embracing Zijerala's bud and pulling fiercely.
At that moment, the Victory Team's warplane, Hayabusa No. 2, arrived at the scene.
The team on board was baffled by the sight.
They knew of the fake Tiga from before, but now facing Zijerala were two Tigas. What did that imply?
The Victory Team, lost in their paradise-induced stupor, did not want to contemplate this.
Shinkyo, giving up, began randomly operating his console.
Accidentally, he fired a laser, hitting one of Zijerala's tentacles.
Da Gu, seeing this, was instantly filled with excitement.
The Victory Team attacked Zijerala!
Humanity chose to eliminate Zijerala!
"Everyone, you've finally come to your senses!"
With renewed fervor, Da Gu transformed into his powerful form, joining Chen Yu to pull on Zijerala's bud.
Under the force of two powerful Ultraman Tigas, Zijerala screamed in agony as its massive bud was torn off.
Chen Yu held onto the bud, not letting it go.
Seeing this, Da Gu embraced Zijerala's remaining trunk, generating extreme heat with arcs of electricity spreading through Zijerala's body to the ground.
Finally, with a loud explosion and a sky lit with fire, Zijerala perished in the blaze unleashed by Da Gu's Tiga High-Temperature Burst.
The super ancient humans, Luke and Dina, also vanished into particles, ascending into the clouds.
For they stood on Zijerala's roots, unable to escape the blast.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Da Gu, witnessing their ascension, was filled with regret.
"It's okay, Da Gu," Luke replied with a smile. "Thanks to you, we've learned what true life is."
The moment the human fighter attacked Zijerala, Luke was truly shaken.
That humans chose to attack Zijerala, resisting its temptation, was incredible to him.
Humans, with their brief lives, still chose to strive and not live forever in bliss.
This realization made Luke understand that surviving indefinitely as bio-electronic beings was meaningless.
"To live a short life fully, leaving the fruits of labor for the next generation, humanity grows slowly but surely, which is truly remarkable."
With a smile, Luke, followed by Dina, disappeared.
The two super ancient humans found redemption and release in this misunderstanding.
After Zijerala's demise, Chen Yu also came to his senses.
He threw Zijerala's bud on the ground and fired a Dillashium Stream to prevent any resurgence.
Whether it was the humans on the ground or the Victory Team in the fighter, all regained their senses.
The memories of paradise seemed like a distant dream.
"Seriously, Shinkyo, that was impressive," Kurei said. "I truly admire you for resisting Zijerala's temptation and opening fire."
"What fire?" Shinkyo was confused. "I didn't fire anything."
"Then who did?" Lina wondered. "You're in charge of the laser."
"Maybe... I accidentally hit it," Shinkyo scratched his head.
Kurei: "???"
Lina: "..."
Chen Yu and Da Gu reverted to their human forms and ascended into the sky.
Then, turning into streaks of light, they flew back to the dilapidated temple.
"It's embarrassing, being seduced by Zijerala," Chen Yu shook his head. "But the bliss Zijerala offered was truly tempting, something those who haven't experienced can't understand."
"Chen Yu, you did well," Da Gu said with a smile. "Overcoming Zijerala's seduction is not something an ordinary person would do, but you managed."
"I hypnotized myself,"
Chen Yu was momentarily speechless, but the outcome was the same.
In his mind, he received a message of mission completion.
[Mission Completed! You have obtained 5 bottles of Zijerala Essence Oral Solution!]
[Please select whether to leave the instance world.]
Chen Yu temporarily ignored the option to leave the instance world and checked the oral solution of Zijerala Essence.
The item description read:
