People in Ultraman: Beginning Plunder and Fusion

Chapter 46 The Dark Ruler 2

Ultraman Tiga, now transformed back into a stone statue, seems to have lost the ability to revert to light. His body has become still and cold, showing no signs of life.

Lina looked at the stone statue and wept bitterly, her heart filled with sorrow and reluctance. She called out Daigo's name, hoping he would wake up, hoping that it was all just a dream.

Only now did the commander realize that one team member was missing: Daigo. Now, everyone knows that Daigo is Ultraman Tiga.

This discovery shocked them. They had never imagined that Tiga, who had always fought alongside them, was actually one of them.

Although people don't know who Dark Tiga and Evil Tiga are yet, at least they know that Ultraman Tiga is Daigo.

This realization filled them with respect and gratitude for Daigo; they understood that Daigo had been silently protecting them and the world all along.

At this moment, all the children in the shelter felt extremely disappointed. They looked at the stone statue, their hearts filled with confusion and unease.

They shouted, "Ah! What do we do now that Ultraman Tiga has been defeated? Dark Tiga, Evil Tiga, where did you two Ultramen go? Why is Tiga fighting alone in the end?"

The children's questions and disappointment broke everyone's hearts. They knew they couldn't let the children down; they had to find Dark Tiga and Evil Tiga; they had to keep fighting, for the children, for everyone.

Meanwhile, the real ace pilot, Hayate, pilots the spaceship back to Earth.

He stared at the devastation before him, his heart filled with shock and rage. He couldn't believe that the Earth had suffered such horrific destruction while he was gone.

"Damn it, what's going on?" Gale's voice was filled with resentment and determination. He knew he had to find out what had happened as soon as possible, and he had to find a way to save the Earth.

On the Axdis, no one gave up. They were focused on how to revive Ultraman Tiga, but so far none of them could decipher the spirit of the stone statue.

The stone statue lay silently on the seabed, as if waiting for something.

Because the villainous Ultraman Tiga was eliminated prematurely, even Masaki Keigo, the smartest member of the GUTS team, didn't know how to analyze the statue.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the atmosphere became heavy and oppressive.

Suddenly, a figure flashed through Megumi's mind, and she thought of a way that might free Tiga from his stone statue state.

She said excitedly, "We don't need anyone to understand the statue. Do you remember the boss of the Green Membrane Hotel? His healing fruit. Once, he and I were in my office together, and suddenly Xie Na turned into a vampire and tried to kill me. In front of me, Duo Lue used the healing fruit to turn Xie Na back into a human."

Shinjo's eyes lit up, and he remembered something, adding, "Once, my sister Mayumi's boyfriend, Usami, was in a plane crash. It was Duolue who appeared and used the Healing Fruit to turn Usami back into a human from a soul."

At this moment, Horii also thought of a similar experience. He added, "Yes, I remember that too. Once, I went to visit my friend Ryosuke. When Ryosuke was about to turn into a monster, it was Duolue who appeared and used the Healing Fruit to turn Ryosuke back into a human."

The memories of these three people all point to the same person—Duolue—and his mysterious item—the Healing Fruit. This fruit seems to possess incredible power.

It can cure various abnormal conditions and even fundamentally change the nature of organisms.

Lina stood in the cockpit of the Arcdis, her gaze passing across the sea and landing on Gatanothor in the distance.

Her heart was filled with complex emotions. She thought of Daigo and all the little things they had shared.

She said softly, "Daigo, do you know? I have a lot to tell you."

Her voice was filled with tenderness and determination. She knew that no matter what happened, she had to keep moving forward, for Daigo, for everyone.

Piloting the Arcdis, she led the Victory Team to the Green Membrane Hotel, embarking on a journey to find the Raiders.

When they arrived at the Green Membrane Hotel, the Victory team was shocked by the scene before them.

All the buildings in the world were destroyed by countless Zoga, turning them into ruins.

However, amidst all this devastation, the Green Membrane Hotel remained unscathed, as if protected by a mysterious force.

This discovery shocked and puzzled them; they knew it must be related to plunder.

The Green Membrane Hotel not only survived the disaster but also took in a large number of refugees, which is both shocking and admirable.

The hotel's facilities and resources seemed sufficient to support so many people, further proving that Duolue was no ordinary person. He must possess some kind of powerful treasure.

Perhaps it is this powerful capability that allowed the Green Membrane Hotel to maintain such stable operation during the disaster.

The Suning manager hurriedly opened the door and entered the luxurious presidential suite. Her face showed a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.

She said to Duolue, "Boss Duolue, a group of people want to see you. They say they really need your help and that only you can save Tiga." After saying that, Manager Suning left, leaving Duolue alone in the suite.

Duo Lue closed his eyes, touched his forehead, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. He said softly, "I knew this would happen."

He knew that his healing fruit was the only hope to save Ultraman Tiga.

Duolue first took out two empty cardboard boxes, then he opened a wormhole, and 50 apple-sized healing fruits fell out of the storage space.

These fruits radiate a soft glow, giving people a feeling of warmth and hope.

Then, Duolue carried the two boxes of healing fruits out of his presidential suite.

His face was filled with determination and resolve. He knew he had to help the Victory Team; he had to save Ultraman Tiga.

As Duolue stepped out of the suite, he ran into the Victory Team. Their faces wore expressions of anticipation and tension; they knew the Healing Fruit was their last hope.

At this moment, Megumi spoke first, saying, "Boss, Ultraman Tiga has turned back into a stone statue. We desperately need your healing fruit now, please."

"What you see in front of you are these two boxes of cardboard boxes I'm carrying now. These are Healing Fruits. I have many more like these!" Duolue handed over both boxes of Healing Fruits he was carrying to the Victory Team.

The Victory Team was preparing to leave the Green Membrane Hotel to continue their mission when suddenly they realized something: all the buildings in the world had been destroyed by countless Zoga, turning them into ruins.

However, the Green Membrane Hotel remained unharmed, as if protected by a mysterious force.

This discovery left them puzzled. They stopped and exchanged a glance.

Then, they recounted everything they had just realized and asked, "Duolue, who exactly are you?"

Upon hearing this question, Duolue smiled slightly, a hint of mockery in his eyes. He said, "Well, since my true colors are about to be discovered, I'll stop hiding them."

After saying that, he transformed into a miniaturized version of Dark Tiga and appeared before everyone. A strong sense of oppression emanated from him, shocking everyone.

However, this was not the end. Dark Tiga then transformed into a miniaturized Evil Tiga for everyone to see. His body exuded an evil aura, making the GUTS team members uneasy.

Then, Duolue deactivated his transformation and returned to his original appearance. He looked at everyone and smiled, saying, "Now you know who I am, so we can move on to the next step."

The members of the Victory Team were shocked by the true identity of the thief. They never expected that the person who had been helping them all along was actually Dark Tiga and Evil Tiga.

Their hearts were filled with doubt and unease; they didn't know how to face this fact.

Jujian Hui asked in confusion, "Duolue, I didn't expect you to be the powerful Dark Tiga and Evil Tiga. If you have this strength, why did you quit? Why did you leave Daigo to fight alone?"

Duolue replied, "This is a test that Daigo must go through. He must evolve into Shining Tiga and return his power to me. Moreover, the mission of protecting this planet was originally Daigo's responsibility. I was just helping him. And if I keep helping Daigo, then he will not be able to evolve into Shining Tiga."

"Victory Team, we now have 50 Healing Fruits. Our objective is achieved. Let's leave to rescue Daigo!"

At this moment, Duolue suddenly stopped them, saying, "Even if you use thousands upon thousands of healing fruits to rescue Tiga, Tiga's power will not be able to defeat Gatanothor. The only way for Tiga to defeat Gatanothor is through the children's faith: to believe in the light."

However, they also realized that now was not the time to dwell on these issues.

They must find the healing fruit as soon as possible, rescue Ultraman Tiga, defeat Gatanothor, and save the Earth.

Masaki Keigo, the scientist in the GUTS team, acted swiftly. He produced the energy extraction and conversion device.

This is a high-tech device capable of extracting the energy from the Healing Fruit and converting it into a healing laser beam cannon. Thus, one Healing Fruit can fire a laser beam, enough to heal Ultraman Tiga's stone statue state.

There are 49 healing fruits left, each one brimming with hope and strength.

Masaki Keigo quickly operated the machine, extracting the energy from a healing fruit and converting it into a laser beam cannon.

Lina piloted the Arcdis back to the Gatanothor sea.

The Arcdis descended to a height of three meters above the ocean. Lina looked at the Ultraman Tiga statue in the sea, her heart filled with determination and courage.

She said to the stone statue, "Daigo, I'm here to save you. If one life isn't enough, then fifty lives will do. I believe you can do it." Her voice was full of determination and trust. She believed in Daigo and in Ultraman Tiga.

After saying that, Lina, carrying the healing fruit and the energy extraction and conversion device, piloted a submarine alone into the sea to find the location of the Ultraman Tiga statue.

Her eyes were resolute, her heart filled with determination and courage. She knew she had to find Ultraman Tiga as soon as possible; she had to save him.

The other team members, except for scientist Keigo Masaki who was responsible for piloting the Arcdis to broadcast the battle live to the world, all piloted fighter jets and joined the fight against Gatanothor and Zoga.

Their eyes shone with unwavering determination; they knew they had to protect the Earth and protect Ultraman Tiga.

On the shimmering sea, we set off towards our destination—that mysterious sea area.

Lina was completely focused on controlling the submarine, her fingers moving nimbly across the control panel, her eyes glued to the data on the screen.

However, Lina's team had no time to appreciate the beautiful sea view; their minds were only on Ultraman Tiga, and their goal was to find the stone statue.

Lina pressed the button, and the submarine fired a healing laser beam, which struck the Tiga statue precisely.

As the beam of light touched him, Tiga's body began to change, and the surface of the stone statue gradually crumbled, revealing Ultraman Tiga's true form.

Ultraman Tiga broke free of his stone statue state and stood up again. His eyes gleamed with an indomitable light, and his body radiated a dazzling glow.

Facing the seemingly invincible enemy, Daigo knew that this battle would be a tough contest, but the fighting spirit burning in his heart was like the blazing sun, which could not be extinguished by any force.

Tiga emerged from the sea, his voice echoing across the entire battlefield: "Thanks to Rena's healing laser beam, I will now challenge Gatanothor once again." His voice was firm and powerful, full of determination and courage.

His eyes gleamed with an indomitable light. Facing that seemingly invincible enemy, Daigo knew that this battle would be a fierce contest, but the fighting spirit burning in his heart was like the blazing sun, which could not be extinguished by any force.

When Gatanothor unleashed its obnoxious tentacles, launching a furious onslaught at Tiga, Tiga did not retreat. A resolute light shone in his eyes, and his body radiated immense power.

Tiga transforms into his powerful form, his body brimming with energy, breaking free from the tentacles' restraints time and time again.

Tiga continuously fired the Bursting Zeperion Ray, which streaked across the sky like lightning and struck Gatanothor directly.

However, Gatanothor's power seemed inexhaustible, and Tiga's attacks failed to inflict fatal damage. Finally, Tiga's energy was exhausted, he reverted to a stone statue, and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Lina gazed at the Tiga statue sinking into the sea, her heart filled with sorrow and reluctance. But she did not give up; she persisted in firing the healing laser beam once more.

She knew this was Tiga's last hope, and she had to save him.

Meanwhile, Masaki Keigo kept thinking about the method mentioned by the thief, the children's faith: believing in the light. He knew that this method might be the key to their victory over Gatanothor.

The battle intensified, and Gatanothor's power seemed inexhaustible. However, Ultraman Tiga and his teammates did not give up.

So Masaki Keigo used a global live broadcast to continuously urge children around the world to believe in light and shout "Tiga!"

"Tiga, Tiga..." children all over the world shouted.

Suddenly, every child who shouted "Tiga" was radiating a golden light, though the light was very faint.

But the combined light of all the children in the world flew over and transferred to the Ultraman Tiga statue at the bottom of the sea.

Lina, who was on the submarine, also saw it and exclaimed happily, "So many, so many rays of light!"

Shining Tiga has arrived!
