Rebirth: I am Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 208 Hidden Light

At the edge of the bustling city, the sea breeze blew in with a salty and humid breath. The afternoon, which should have been peaceful and tranquil, was broken by a tremor. Like a giant beast from the ancient abyss, Demos slowly emerged from the sea level with heavy steps like a mountain. Its body was like a moving black fortress, surrounded by strange mist. The most frightening thing was its dancing tentacles like an octopus. Each tentacle was covered with hideous suction cups. As it moved, the suction cups opened and closed, making a creepy "hissing" sound.

At first, there was only a subtle ripple on the sea level at the edge of the city, as if a deep-sea monster quietly stirred up the sleeping dream. Then, a dull and increasingly strong roar broke the tranquility of the afternoon, as if thousands of thunders exploded on the seabed and rolled in. In the blink of an eye, the huge body of Demos that covered the sky and the sun broke out of the water from under the sea level. Every time it moved, it was like a moving black mountain, bringing up surging waves, and the sea water poured down from its body like a waterfall.

It approached the city step by step with heavy steps that shook the earth. Wherever it passed, deep footprints were trampled on the ground, as if the earth was groaning in pain. In a flash, this ancient beast stood in the center of the city. The towering office buildings in front of it were as small as ants. It was like a demon awakened from the dark abyss, surrounded by black mist, and the mist flashed with green phosphorescence from time to time, like a mysterious and dangerous spell.

Demos suddenly raised his head and roared towards the sky. The roar was like a materialized shock wave, spreading out from it. Wherever the sound wave reached, the air was shaken, and the glass of the shops on the street could not withstand the force and shattered into pieces, falling like snowflakes. Then, in its huge cave-like mouth, a chilling energy began to gather, and white light flickered and twisted in it. In an instant, a large amount of white corrosive liquid sprayed out like a raging torrent.

This liquid was like the legendary devil's saliva, and everything it touched was instantly shrouded in doom. Those high-rise buildings that were usually extremely solid and carried the dreams and lives of countless people, under the erosion of the white liquid, the walls of reinforced concrete quickly collapsed. The originally smooth wall first appeared dense bubbles, which quickly burst, oozing out pungent smoke. Then, large chunks of the wall began to fall off, revealing the twisted and deformed metal frame inside. The metal made a "sizzling" sound under the corrosion, as if begging for forgiveness from this catastrophe.

As the high-rise buildings collapsed, bricks and stones fell like raindrops, raising dust all over the sky. For a moment, this corner of the city was shrouded in a dim mist. On the streets, the originally bustling crowds suddenly became chaotic, and panic spread rapidly like a plague. People screamed, called the names of their loved ones, and ran blindly in all directions. Some fell to the ground and were trampled by the panicked crowd, but could only make weak cries for help. Car horns honked one after another, and drivers desperately honked their horns in panic, trying to find a way out, but they could only move on the crowded streets. Shouts, screams, and car horns intertwined together, playing a desperate movement, as if the death knell of the end of the world had already sounded.

At the same time, on the war-torn and chaotic city streets, Captain Yang Xue was agile, like an unshakable beacon, bringing a glimmer of hope to the panicked people. She shouted loudly, directing the citizens to evacuate to a safe area, and worked closely with Huang Xuelian to use the communicator in her hand to urgently call for support from the headquarters. Huang Xuelian's hair on her forehead was soaked with sweat, but her eyes were firm. She kept repeating the current critical situation, and her voice was transmitted to the distance through the radio waves.

Not long after, accompanied by a deafening roar, the Feiyan fighter plane flew across the sky like a silver eagle and arrived above the battlefield. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Captain Yang Xue's eyes flashed with determination. She quickly stepped onto the command platform and gave instructions to the team members through the communication channel calmly and forcefully: "Disperse the attack, and be careful to avoid the monster's liquid!" Her voice was clear and decisive, like a shot of cardiotonic, which made the team members' originally tense heartstrings relax a little.

After receiving the order, the team members skillfully controlled the Feiyan fighter planes and dispersed to form a tight attack formation in the air. In an instant, laser beams shot out from the muzzles of the fighter planes like dazzling lightning and pierced the monster directly; then, missiles whizzed towards Demos, drawing arcs in the air and leaving a pungent smell of gunpowder. The light crisscrossed and illuminated the entire sky with colorful colors, like a grand and tragic fireworks show.

However, reality dealt them a heavy blow. The huge body of Demos was like a black steel fortress, emitting a daunting pressure. Its skin was like an indestructible armor. When the laser beam hit it, only a faint spark was splashed, like a firefly colliding with a copper wall in the summer night, which was fleeting and could not cause any substantial damage to it.

The missiles that whizzed in created a huge wave of air when they hit the monster's skin, but Demos was as steady as a rock, and only shook its huge body slightly, without even moving its feet. Not only that, this attack seemed to have angered it even more, and it roared like a provoked king. Demos' eyes flashed red, and the frequency of the white liquid spraying from its mouth became faster and faster, and a stream of corrosive torrents swept in all directions.

The members of the Victory Team dodged left and right in their fighter planes, surrounded by dangers, but the attack still seemed futile. Sweat slid down the team members' cheeks and dripped onto the operating table. Their eyes were filled with reluctance and confusion. But Captain Yang Xue's voice came through the communication channel again: "Don't be discouraged, adjust your tactics, and continue to attack!" Encouraged by the captain, the team members gritted their teeth, held the joystick tightly, and prepared to face a new round of challenges. Even if there was little hope, they would fight to the end to protect the city.

On the ground, the devastated city was like a purgatory on earth, with flames soaring into the sky, thick smoke billowing, and the painful groans of the wounded from time to time in the ruins. Team member Lin Feng stood on the street, his figure was upright, but he could not hide his inner excitement and grief at the moment. His starry eyes were now bloodshot, red as fire, as if he wanted to burn the endless disaster in front of him. His clenched fists were white because of excessive force, and the protruding blue veins were like angry little snakes winding on the back of his hands. His teeth were clacking, and the muscles on his cheeks were tense. Every bite seemed to vent his anger. Watching the monster wreaking havoc and the people suffering, he cursed angrily: "This beast!" The low and hoarse voice, wrapped in endless hatred, dissipated in the diffuse smoke.

Lin Feng's mind was as clear as a mirror. Conventional means of attack were useless in this tragic situation. The Victory Team's Feiyan fighter launched an offensive with all its might, but it was easily resisted by the monster and even led to a fiercer counterattack. Now, if they wanted to reverse the situation, they had to find another way. At this time, an idea that had been hidden in his heart for a long time became more and more firm - transform into Ultraman. Only with the help of the power of light from the distant universe, which symbolizes hope and protection, can they save this city and countless innocent lives.

After making up his mind, Lin Feng quickly calmed down. He knew that once Ultraman's identity was exposed, it would most likely cause a lot of trouble. Not only would he be in danger, but he might also bring unexpected crises to his teammates and even the entire city. So, he suppressed his anxiety and looked around alertly, his eyes as sharp as a falcon, not missing any corner. Finally, on the edge of the city, he spotted a remote abandoned factory. The factory walls were mottled and covered with withered vines. Part of the wall had collapsed, revealing rusty machines and messy piles of scrap parts. The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds and rarely visited, which was a perfect place for transformation.

After locking onto the target, Lin Feng's figure flashed, like a black lightning, and he ran away. His footsteps were light, but with a full sense of urgency, and he cleverly avoided the panicking crowd and collapsed building obstacles along the way. His figure shuttled through the diffuse smoke and dust, and occasionally the firelight reflected on his face, outlining his resolute outline. Not long after, he successfully arrived at the abandoned factory. As soon as he stepped into the factory gate, a stale and decayed smell hit him in the face. He didn't care about it, but quickly ran to a more hidden corner inside the factory, while vigilantly paying attention to the surrounding movements to make sure no one was following him. At this moment, his heartbeat accelerated sharply. He was excited about the transformation into Ultraman and the responsibility of saving the city, but he was also nervous because he was worried about the mistakes in the transformation process. His hands unconsciously clenched again, and he secretly vowed to successfully repel the monster and restore peace to the city.

Inside the factory, as if it were a corner forgotten by time, a dark and damp atmosphere filled the air. The walls were covered with mottled marks left by water stains, and dark green moss spread wildly in the corners, like a mysterious rune. A few rays of light struggled to shine through the windows covered with dust and cobwebs, barely illuminating the space, but making everything look even more eerie. Rusty machine parts were scattered all over the ground, like the broken bones of ancient beasts, some of which were still half-buried in the mud. Occasionally, when stepped on, they would make a dull "creaking" sound, echoing in the silence, making people terrified.

Lin Feng rushed all the way here, his chest heaving violently, panting, his hair soaked with sweat, a few strands of hair clinging to his cheeks. His eyes were full of determination and perseverance. Although his body was exhausted, the fire of saving the city in his heart was burning more and more. His trembling hands reached into his pocket, and after groping for a while, he took out the magic stick that carried the light of hope. It flickered with a mysterious glimmer in the dimness, as if responding to the call in Lin Feng's heart, or as if an ancient contract was about to be awakened.

Just as he raised the magic stick high, ready to welcome the baptism of light and transformation, above his head, Captain Yang Xue was flying a fighter plane in the smoke-filled sky to search for the location of the team members. She stared at the screen, where the flashing light dots represented the whereabouts of each team member. Suddenly, Lin Feng's signal stopped in a remote place, and this abnormality immediately caught her attention. With her keen insight, she suddenly wondered: Why did Lin Feng leave the team and go there alone at this time?

Doubts quickly grew in her heart. Without any hesitation, she quickly adjusted the fighter plane and quietly landed on the ground. The roar of the fighter plane briefly sounded outside the silent factory, and then returned to calm, like a giant bird with its wings folded. Captain Yang Xue unbuckled her seat belt, jumped off the fighter plane lightly, and rushed towards Lin Feng with a nimble figure. Along the way, she was careful, her steps were as light as a cat hunting, and she keenly avoided the debris that might make noise, for fear of disturbing Lin Feng.

She shuttled between the ruins and the overgrown paths, observing her surroundings with vigilant eyes. Although she was extremely anxious, years of training allowed her to remain calm at all times. As she gradually approached the factory, the damp and decayed smell became stronger. She frowned slightly, but did not stop. At this moment, she was full of doubts and eager to uncover the truth behind Lin Feng's abnormal behavior. She didn't know that she was about to witness a shocking scene that would subvert her cognition. Inside the factory, Lin Feng was unaware of the captain's approach and was still concentrating on transforming. The light of the magic stick in his hand became more and more dazzling. A thrilling encounter was about to begin.

When Captain Yang Xue stepped into the factory, she was greeted by a stale, decaying smell, mixed with damp water vapor and the smell of rusted metal, which made her frown slightly. She walked lightly and scanned the surroundings vigilantly, trying to find Lin Feng's trace in this dim environment. Just as she walked around a huge and rusty machine, a dazzling light that was so bright that it was impossible to look directly at suddenly came into her sight.

The light was like the first ray of dawn that penetrated the clouds at dawn, instantly lighting up the entire factory and dispelling all the darkness and obscurity. Captain Yang Xue subconsciously raised her hand to block the strong light, but her eyes could not help but look through her fingers eagerly, and then she witnessed a shocking scene -

Lin Feng was enveloped by the light, which was like a living thread, entwining and dancing. It gathered from all directions, bringing with it a mysterious and majestic power. As the light continued to surge, the outline of an extremely tall and majestic giant gradually emerged clearly in the light. The iconic red and purple body, like a burning sunset intertwined with the mysterious night sky, exuded endless majesty; a pair of shining eyes, like bright stars, deep and bright, as if they could see through everything in the world.

Captain Yang Xue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, almost bursting through her chest. Her lips opened unconsciously, and she subconsciously covered her mouth, trying to stop the exclamation that almost came out of her mouth. Shock was like a surging tide, instantly drowning her. She stared at the scene in front of her with wide eyes, her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move at all. Then, she staggered back, and in panic she almost tripped over the parts on the ground. She waved her hands helplessly in the air for a few times before she could barely stabilize her body.

At this moment, the scenes of countless times fighting side by side in the past flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. In every mission full of dangers, Lin Feng always rushed to the front without hesitation, using his courage and perseverance to pave the way for his teammates; when encountering difficulties, his taciturn but extremely firm eyes always gave everyone strength and made everyone believe that they would be able to overcome the difficulties. But now, she never thought that this teammate who was so familiar to her in daily life actually hid such a shocking secret - he was Ultraman Tiga!

This discovery was like a bombshell, causing a storm in her heart. Her mind was in a mess, with all kinds of thoughts coming one after another. On the one hand, she felt inexplicably honored to know such a shocking truth; on the other hand, she knew very well that once this secret was leaked, it would bring trouble to Lin Feng, enemies who coveted the power of light, the pervasive media, and the malicious speculation about the Victory Team that might be caused by this... All of this was like a sword hanging over her head, making her worried.

But at this moment, she could not think too much, the city outside was still groaning in pain under the ravages of the monsters, and Ultraman Tiga in front of her - her teammate Lin Feng, was about to shoulder the responsibility of saving the world. Captain Yang Xue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that she had to keep this secret and protect the city and everything they cherished together with Lin Feng.

At this moment, Huang Xuelian, after completing a round of attack, lost the captain's sight and used the communicator to locate him. "Captain, what's wrong?" She asked with concern, looking around but finding nothing unusual. Captain Yang Xue quickly came to her senses, a flash of panic in her eyes, then calmed down and made up an excuse: "I think I saw some injured citizens here, so I came to check. It's okay, let's go back to the fighter plane." Although Huang Xuelian was a little confused, she nodded and followed.

The fighter plane took off again, but Captain Yang Xue's mind was not on the battle at all. She looked through the porthole at Ultraman Tiga who was fighting a monster in the distance, and she felt mixed emotions. She knew that once Ultraman's identity was exposed, it would bring endless troubles to Lin Feng. Whether it was the outside world's exploration and coveting of him, or the enemy's possible targeted conspiracy and frame-up, it was like a sword hanging over her head. But at the moment, the monster crisis has not been resolved, so she can only suppress the waves in her heart for the time being and focus on the battle in front of her.
