Dark Tiga, what are you doing?

Chapter 123 The Dark Lord is Ace!
After the Battle of Delacion.

Earth has returned to peace.

Saga and the others also exited their transformed state and returned to Earth.

They originally wanted to talk to Shining Gatanothor, especially Shining Tiga, who was very curious about Shining Gatanothor's current situation.

However, after the battle ended, Shining Gatanothor simply tilted its head, blinked its eyes which shone with a dazzling light, and then its form dissipated from its shining state, turning into specks of light and disappearing before everyone's eyes.

It seems that this campaign was merely to drive out those from other regions and fulfill the wishes of those who radiate the light of the human spirit, nothing more.

I have no other ideas.

Seeing this, everyone returned to Earth.

Before reverting to its original form, it first transferred the power of light to those Ultra Warriors who were seriously injured, helping them recover from their injuries.

Then, one by one, they deactivated their transformations.

Saga maintained his fused transformation form for over a thousand years and has not broken free of the fusion for a long time. Now, he has broken free of the three-in-one state, and Zero, Cosmos, and Dyna have descended to Earth.

Gauss of the Regent card was also taken aback when he saw Gauss of the Saga card appear.

No wonder he sensed a familiar aura from Saga. He thought it was a coincidence that they might have had some kind of connection, but he never expected that the other person's body was actually his own.

Musashi looked at Musashi, and the two exchanged a glance and greeted each other. It was quite strange to feel such a direct distance between them.

Dyna and Asuka Shin then went up to greet Asuka.

Little Bird stares at Asuka Shin, unaware that the other person is his grown-up self.

But seeing how enthusiastic the other party was, they responded in kind.

After greeting his younger self, Shin Asuka wasn't in a hurry to talk to his younger self about what happened in different timelines. Instead, he looked at Makio Kirino, who had inherited Dyna's light in this timeline. Shin Asuka stared intently at Makio Kirino, looked him up and down, and then said, "In my world, I don't think I've ever seen you before."

Sensing the aura of the same source as Dyna's Light, Kirino Makio understood what was going on. He smiled slightly, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, and said, "Perhaps my actions moved Dyna's Light, so in this spacetime, the light chose me, and that's why you can see me. In the spacetime you mentioned, the light did not choose me, and compared to the Giant of Light, I am insignificant. Also, due to my personality and dislike of showing myself to the public, you have never seen me."

Asuka Shin nodded: "As long as there is justice in one's heart, it doesn't matter who the successor is."

Kirino Makio glanced at Asuka, then looked at Asuka's letter.

Was this child supposed to be the successor to Dyna's Light?

Kirino Makio rested his chin on his hand. Although he had intercepted Dyna's Light in this space-time, a new light recognized Asuka, making her a new Ultraman.

This can be seen as a response to the saying, "Gold will always shine."

The athletes gathered here and chatted together.

Zero, in his human form, greeted his father.

Seeing that his father was still using a cane, Zero asked in bewilderment, "Dad, didn't I just heal your leg injury? Why are you still using a cane?"

"You wouldn't understand, this is a feeling, and you're even lecturing your old man." Dan Moroboshi raised his cane as if to hit Zero, but his eyes were full of satisfaction. Zero had grown into an excellent Ultra Warrior, and could even merge with his companions to become Saga, one of the Mysterious Four Ultras.

Even he couldn't do that. Zero's future is truly limitless, full of promise. It's unimaginable what heights Zero will reach if he continues to grow; I believe he will definitely become a pillar of the Land of Light.

I can surpass him.

Dan Moroboshi felt gratified at this thought.

Daigo watched everyone chatter, counting the number of people, "One, two, three..."

There are more and more Ultraman characters now.

And... Shining Tiga? Daigo's expression was strange. He found their conversation odd. Wasn't he Ultraman Tiga? Why was there a Shining Tiga?

Is there a second Ultraman Tiga on Earth besides him?

But before this, I had never seen any other Ultraman Tiga besides him.

Daigo scratched his head, not understanding what was going on.

In fact, Daigo wasn't the only one with this question; Ace, who was inside the Ultra Ring, also had it.

Ace witnessed Tian Liuhai's transformation into Dark Tiga.

Seeing only the form of Dark Tiga transformed by Tenryukai was fine, but Daigo's transformation also resembled Tiga, only the two used completely opposite powers: one was a terrifying, abyssal dark power, while the other was a warm, radiant light power.

This puzzled Ace as well; could there be some kind of connection between them?

Why do they look exactly the same after transforming?

Ace had never thought about this question.

However, compared to the oppressive feeling brought by Tian Liuhai's overwhelming and terrifying dark power, Ace briefly ignored the problem of Daigo Tiga. He spent more time thinking about what kind of means they should use to defend against Tian Liuhai if he insisted on doing evil.

With their current strength, they are not enough to resist the invasion of the Dark Lord. This was something Ace had been thinking about day and night at the beginning, but now, as time goes by, new problems are emerging one after another. Fortunately, the life force of Earth is also constantly improving.

Now, should we consider how to keep Suzuki Amane's dark power sealed...?

Ace remained silent.

I thought of the Shining Gatanothor that appeared during the battle in outer space.

Without a doubt, he was absolutely certain that Shining Gatanothor was Suzuki Ame himself.

He felt it deeply. He just didn't know why Suzuki Ame was able to switch back and forth between such terrifying dark forces and the power of light.

And Tian Liuhai also activated the form of Shining Tiga.

His two human forms were incredibly impactful to him.

There were so many that Ace was almost at a loss for words.

I don't know where to begin thinking.

There are just too many problems.

Even Ace, a veteran of countless battles among the Ultra Brothers, was momentarily stunned.

While inside the Ultra Ring, watching everyone freely interact, Ace silently observed Suzuki Ame and Tenryukai.

And several Ultra Warriors who can fuse to become Saga and Legend.

With Saga and Legend around, Ace wasn't so anxious anymore.

More of it is curiosity.

Looking across the entire Ultra Universe, who else can switch back and forth between darkness and light? Even someone as powerful as the King of Ultra probably couldn't do it. Once you fall into darkness, it's hard to extricate yourself. Yet his two human hosts can switch back and forth between darkness and light, each switch as supreme as a cosmic god.

If the deeds of Ace's two human hosts were to be told, they would probably be recorded in the annals of the Land of Light.

Let's keep watching...

Let's see how things develop in the future.

Dark Godfather Ace thought silently.

From the initial despair to the current curiosity about the future, Ace is no longer so averse to his two human hosts. However, as the saying goes, he still needs to be cautious and cannot let his guard down.

Oh, right, we should also keep an eye on Daigo.

Ace thought that perhaps he could find some unexpected gains from Daigo.

After all, no matter what, Daigo's transformed Tiga form and Tenryukai's transformed Tiga form are exactly the same.

If there were no connection between the two, Ace would never believe it, even if you beat him to death.

……

Among all the mysterious human beings.

Compared to his old Showa-era friends who were chatting enthusiastically, Hokuto Seiji wasn't actually that concerned.

As Ace's alternate dimension counterpart.

After awakening his memories of fighting as an Ultraman hero on Earth, Hokuto Seiji became a completely different person. Although there was no change in his appearance or behavior, Hokuto Seiji was able to perceive more, know more, and think about more questions.

However, just like Ace's consciousness inside the Ultra Ring, Hokuto Seiji did not make a fuss.

Instead, he spends his days quietly thinking.

As counterparts from different dimensions, Hokuto Seiji had long been able to sense the revival of Ace's consciousness within the Ultra Ring. Initially, Hokuto Seiji didn't take it seriously, after all, it was also him, and he had chosen two human hosts he greatly favored.

He was quite satisfied.

However, as time went on, Ace gradually realized that something was wrong.

Tenryukai and Suzuki Ame seemed completely unaware of Ace's consciousness revival.

Most importantly, when Beidou Xingsi sleeps at night, he often feels a sense of anxiety and worry.

Hokuto Seisi was initially puzzled as to why he had this feeling.

It wasn't until later that I realized this wasn't my own feeling, but rather the feeling of Ace's consciousness from another dimension.

Because of their shared origin and nature, the other party's deep thoughts were conveyed to him.

It was sensed by the Hokuto Seisakusho.

Hokuto Seiji didn't understand why Ace's consciousness would have such thoughts.

Although Earth has faced several cataclysmic disasters and nearly survived, it is perhaps too much to worry about the future and be overly anxious.

Hokuto Seiji pondered for a moment, intending to contact Ace's consciousness and discuss the matter.

But one night while I was sleeping, that feeling came back to me.

And it is accompanied by more emotions and thoughts.

Since that's the case, Hokuto Seisi no longer hesitated and immediately decided to take a good look at what his alternate dimension counterpart was worried about every day. These thoughts kept popping up and being transmitted to him, making it hard for him to sleep at night.

As Hokuto Seiji's perception deepened, he discovered that what Ace's consciousness was worried about was not actually the world-ending war happening on Earth or his concerns about Earth and the future.

What's there to worry about with an unknown enemy? We might as well make the best of it.

Unless it is an enemy that has already appeared in front of you and you have no choice but to deal with it.

As Beidou Xingsi said, he knows himself better than anyone else, so why would he be so worried?

After realizing this, Hokuto Seiji began to perceive further, intending to find out the truth. However, as Hokuto Seiji delved deeper, he discovered that what Ace's consciousness was worried about was actually related to darkness. For some reason, Ace's consciousness seemed to know about a dark being, and that the being was extremely powerful, so powerful that Ace was constantly thinking about how to defend against it.

?

Are there still hidden dark forces on Earth, always lurking and watching us?

Why didn't Ace's consciousness step forward and tell them about this? Instead, he kept it buried in his heart and never spoke of it.

Not right.

Hokuto Seisaku's intuition told him that there must be some reason he didn't know about, and given his personality, he shouldn't be acting so hesitantly.

what is it then?

Beidou Xing Si was completely baffled.

If Ace didn't speak up, he wouldn't be able to figure out the reason for a while.

All we can do is wait for Ace to come to his senses and take the initiative to clarify this matter.

At the same time, every night when Ace's consciousness and emotions surfaced, Hokuto Seiji would take the opportunity to carefully sense them, hoping to gain more information and see what his alternate dimension counterpart had gone through.

As their connection strengthened and their connection deepened, Hokuto Seiji realized that Ace's consciousness also harbored deep sorrow for his two human hosts.

?

why?
Beidou Xingsi was stunned for a moment.

He was quite satisfied with the two human hosts that this alternate dimension entity had chosen for itself.

Therefore, the problem is most likely not with the human host, but rather because Ace's consciousness sensed that the supreme dark being had its eye on Tenryukai and Suzuki Ame.

This is no small problem.

Hokuto Seisakusho also began to ponder.

But if everyone's strength is gathered, surely there should be more than enough to fight. There must be more reasons he doesn't know, so Hokuto Seiji still doesn't make a fuss and continues to feel it every night.

As the days went by, Hokuto Seisaku learned more and more.

He sensed it; Ace was aware of some entirely new thoughts and feelings.

Darkness, himself, Ace...

???

When he first sensed it, Hokuto Seisaku was stunned again.

Soon, he continued to delve deeper into his senses.

I wanted to see what was going on with Ace's thoughts, why he suddenly felt darkness on him for no reason.

A very unsettling thought couldn't help but surface in Hokuto Seiji's mind: perhaps the worry about the two human hosts didn't stem from the invasion of external darkness, but rather from the internal corruption of darkness. That was why Ace's consciousness remained in a state of anxiety.

But nothing has been revealed yet, so Hokuto Seisi cannot draw any conclusions and can only continue to observe and sense things carefully.

And it was with this careful feeling that Hokuto Seisi received new information once again, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Perhaps his alternate dimension... has undergone changes they couldn't have imagined. Ace may no longer be the pure Ace.

It has been corrupted by darkness; its seemingly radiant surface has actually become a dark giant.

And the darkness they encountered was extremely powerful.

The Giant of Light, Ace, had unknowingly fallen and become the Dark Giant.

However, for some unknown reason, part of Ace's consciousness was not corrupted; instead, it was in a state of separation and hidden within the Ultra Ring.

Ace's consciousness was always worried that the part of him corrupted by darkness was the one that was causing trouble for his two human hosts.

Once Hokuto Seiji had this idea, he felt that it was absolutely correct and that it was very close to the truth.

No, or rather, this is the truth.

Beidou Xingsi rested his chin on his hand. Didn't he understand himself?
Even if he fell and became a dark giant, he was still him.

He's just another version of himself.

What needs to be clarified right now is what kind of darkness Ace has come into contact with, that makes Ace so worried.

At the same time, we must find a way to peel away this darkness and allow Ace to return to the ranks of the giants of light.

After Beidou Xingsi figured it out, the spiritual connection he maintained each night did not break; on the contrary, he continued to receive relevant information.

at the moment.

All the necessary conditions for the appearance of Legend and Saga are met.

Hokuto Seisi looked at the advanced fusion material Gauss and his partners.

Perhaps we could try to bring this matter up directly and use the power of Saga and Legend?

Hokuto Seiji rested his chin on his hand, the thought flashing through his mind, but he didn't actually put it into practice, because that part of Ace's consciousness was definitely in a state of light, and the part he perceived was definitely not corrupted.

If even Ace of Light didn't stand up and speak out, then there's even less reason for him to do so.

It seems there are still some changes that he is unaware of.

Otherwise, given his personality, if he were capable of solving a problem, he would definitely address it directly and resolve it when he could, rather than dragging it out.

Hokuto Seiji looked at Tenryukai and Suzuki Ame.

These two human hosts are as normal as could be.

Such a good, upright, and kind human form... must not be allowed to be corrupted and harmed by darkness. Damn the Dark Giant Ace! Hokuto Seiji's heart burned with anger. He would never sit idly by.

We must rescue Tenryukai and Suzuki Ame from Dark Ace!
……

……

That's all for today. My stomach hurt all day, I didn't sleep well, and I had diarrhea all day. _(`」∠)__
I feel like I'm not even fully conscious anymore.

This is really annoying! _(:з」∠)_
