Hunting Tartarus for 100,000 years

Everything is calm.

There are no evil aliens, no warriors of light, only a few uncivilized monsters that have managed to survive, who are treated as ancient creatures and kept at a distance, or captured and studied.

The universe went on like this for countless years.

And on a quiet day.

In a certain star field, a tiny crack in space and time quietly appeared.

The crack started out tiny, expanded in an instant, and suddenly turned into an endless vortex.

hum-

The endless starry sky cracked, and the strange roars within it intertwined, turning into a huge crack.

And in the center of the crack, a giant with red and silver colors slowly walked out.

The gap closed again, as if it had never been opened.

The giant turned his head and looked around, but under this familiar starry sky, he could not sense any familiar aura.

Countless years ago, he was forcibly torn apart in space by a certain Excellency under this starry sky and exiled to a certain dimension. When he opened his eyes again, it was already now.

He looked down at his hands.

It's all because of this red stone in my hand.

This red stone was given to Ultraman Zero by Mary during the Ultra War, and was later seized by Cyrus in the time tunnel, and then delivered to Zero's hands.

This stone is a crystallization of the plasma spark that was once created.

This stone is called Ultra Stone, also known as Ultra Star.

And this giant is called Ultraman.

The only remaining giant of light.

Ultraman felt the heaven and earth, and felt that a high-dimensional force was constantly tearing his body apart, and it seemed that he would be reduced to ashes after a while.

He gripped the Ultra Stone tightly and rushed in a certain direction.

Ultraman entered a place called the Solar System.

He rushed towards the third planet.

While he was flying, a blue monster rushed towards him.

"Yanagaki? An uncivilized monster?"

Ultraman caught the monster and rushed towards the earth with it.

The two figures transformed into a streak of blue light and fell. Ultraman then sank the monster into the lake.

Ultraman stood beside Longsen Lake, staring blankly ahead.

After a long time, he finally met the person he wanted to wait for.

……

In a small house somewhere on Earth.

An old man and a young man sit opposite each other with an unfinished chess game between them.

The old man picked up his cigarette and took a drag.

The young man took the initiative and spoke first, "I can't hold on any longer, it's really too difficult..."

"Are you short of something?"

"Yes, this new play is related to our future."

The old man laughed and then rode away.

"I believe in you, Jincheng, you can definitely write well."

The young man scratched his hair, which was very messy.

The old man took the last puff of his cigarette and stood up. "Haha, I'm done. You take a good rest. I'm going to take a walk."

He patted the young man on the shoulder and walked out.

Maybe it's fate's guidance.

The old man gradually walked to a lake.

In the distance, he saw a blue meteor falling to the bottom of the lake.

The old man ran over.

Beside Longsen Lake, he saw a strange man.

"Who are you?"

Ultraman replied, "I am Ultraman, from the M78 Nebula."

"M78 Nebula?"

"I just sank the monster to the bottom of the lake."

The old man was surprised.

Ultraman handed him the red stone in his hand.

"It's a token of friendship."

The old man stepped forward and took it. "What?"

"This is Ultra Star."

"Ultra Star?"

The old man looked up and met Ultraman's eyes.

Right now.

Just this one glance.

The light was born.

"Don't forget me... don't forget us."

After saying this, Ultraman turned around, took one last look at the earth, and leaped up.

Ultraman flew into the starry sky and disappeared. After he left the old man's sight, his body began to gradually disintegrate, and wisps of ash separated from him.

His body dissipated and turned into ashes.

And above the earth, beside Longsen Lake.

The old man stared at the direction where Ultraman disappeared, stunned.

At this moment, there was the origin of light in his heart.

The old man couldn't help but murmur: "I won't forget you...I won't let anyone forget you."

He was still looking in that direction.

After a while, a voice broke the silence.

"Hey--"

The young man who had played chess with him before noticed the old man and ran over excitedly.

"Ah—Director! So you're here! I've been looking for you for a long time. I have a new idea, an innovation based on Ultra Q! I'm just waiting for you, the God of Special Effects, to review it!"

Director Eiji Tsuburaya was still staring in the direction where Ultraman disappeared, in a daze.

"Director? Director Eiji Tsuburaya?"

Eiji Tsuburaya recovered and turned to the young man who was talking to him.

Their eyes met again.

"We need a hero, Jincheng."
