At that moment, Po Shui stepped forward and patted Li Xiang on the shoulder.
"Hibiki, go."
“Captain…” Li Xiang turned around and looked at the captain with a determined look in his eyes.
"It's alright, we humans will help Ultraman defeat Zetton, so you can go without worry."
Shosui then looked at Zoffy.
Despite being human, Captain Sakami didn't lose any of his charisma just because Zoffy was an alien. Instead, he fearlessly shouted at Zoffy.
"You...you're not Ultraman, are you?"
"Yes, I am not Ultraman. 'Ultraman' is just what you humans call Lipia. I am Zoffy."
"Then I understand. How could an arrogant alien like you possibly be Ultraman?"
Sakami immediately showed a knowing expression.
"Hibiki, I used to be an astronaut on the International Space Station." Suddenly, Sakakizumi changed the subject and began to talk about her past. "But I encountered a crisis on the space station... it was a spaceship preparing to invade Earth."
A light shone in Shosui's eyes as she drifted into memories.
"That spaceship seemed to want to destroy the space station and then invade Earth... But at that time, the human space station was mainly used for scientific research and observation and did not have any defensive weapons, so our fate should have been to be destroyed."
"But just when we were at our wits' end... a ray of light appeared."
“We’ve always been protected…that’s why I formed the Science Patrol, and why I’ve always believed in you and Ultraman.”
Sakami looked resolutely at Zoffy.
"Hibiki, go fight!"
"We humans must fight and prove our resolve to this arrogant alien."
“…I understand, Captain.” Li Xiang took out the Spark Prism.
Then, he looked at Zoffy's emotionless, cold face.
"Zoffy, humanity will prove to you that the Star of Light's decision was wrong."
Raising the spark prism high, a beam of light shot into the sky.
Within the pillar of light, a three-colored giant appeared.
—Ultraman Tiga.
Zoffy also turned around and silently looked at Tiga.
Because he already knew about Tiga's decision.
——Zai Pelion Rays!
—M78 beam!
Tiga and Zoffy simultaneously unleashed beams of light.
Both knew that this battle was inevitable.
The scorching rays collided, and the high temperature gradually began to melt the nearby ground.
Tiga noticed this and knew that continuing to exchange beams would inevitably result in casualties, so he took the initiative to stop the exchange.
The moment the beam of light was cut off, it flew into the sky.
He plans to move the battlefield to outer space so that the aftermath of the battle can be avoided from harming ordinary people.
Moreover, in outer space, Tiga is not affected by Earth's unique environment, allowing him to fight for longer periods.
Seeing Tiga fly into outer space, Zoffy also took off and chased after him.
Then Zoffy continued firing beams of light as if he had no energy depletion whatsoever.
Tiga was caught off guard while dodging and was hit by Zoffy's beam.
Propelled by the beam of light, Tiga crashed into one of Jupiter's moons.
The satellite exploded directly under the impact of the light and Ultraman Tiga.
The light from the explosion blasted out of a satellite.
That was a satellite the size of the moon.
Amidst the dust from the satellite's explosion, a purple light suddenly appeared, followed by a purple figure hurtling towards Zoffy at incredible speed.
This is the aerial form that Tiga switched at an extremely fast speed when he collided with the satellite. He then used his high speed to dodge the subsequent explosion and then charged towards Zoffy at high speed.
Faced with Tiga in his aerial form, Zoffy was caught off guard and could only cross his arms to defend himself.
Tiga clenched his right fist and, just as he was about to reach Zoffy, quickly transformed from his aerial form into his powerful red form.
Then, a punch filled with unparalleled power was thrown at Zoffy.
This is the enormous kinetic energy gained from accelerating in the air, plus the powerful punch delivered when transformed into the powerful form. It can be said that Li Xiang has used the form transformation to its fullest extent.
Zoffy was sent flying by a punch, soaring all the way to Saturn's orbit before coming to a stop. He even scraped across Saturn's rings, carving a fracture line through them.
Chapter 104 Why does Ultraman risk his life to protect humanity?
Earth's near-Earth orbit.
Ultraman is attacking Zetton.
But clearly, it had no effect whatsoever.
And Zetton began its counterattack.
The numerous machine guns on Zetton's body began firing at Ultraman simultaneously. After being bombarded by countless light bullets, Ultraman finally exhausted himself and fell into the atmosphere.
Ultraman was defeated.
During the fall, Ultraman, having exhausted his power, reverted to his original form as Shinji Kaminaga.
Shen Yong's body was rubbing against the atmosphere at high speed, but a mysterious force was still protecting him, preventing him from burning up due to the high temperature.
Then, a voice appeared in his ear.
Even so, you still won't give up?
"Ultraman, is this your choice?"
"Yes, I believe in humanity, and I will fight to the end. This is my will."
Ultraman's voice answered, and then Kaname's body fell into the sea.
After Kaname fell into the sea, he was found by the Science Patrol and rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Meanwhile, the political leaders of various countries who were holding a meeting also learned of Ultraman's defeat, and that Tiga was still fighting Zoffy in the solar system and unable to return to Earth to help humanity.
At the meeting, all countries unanimously decided not to disclose to the public the fact that Zetton was about to destroy the solar system.
Since extinction is inevitable, it's better to let humanity perish without suffering.
The Kurt team's captain, Shingo Sakami, rejected the proposal.
“I believe all human beings have the right to know, so I oppose keeping information confidential.”
Captain Sakakizumi spoke firmly to the camera.
"Furthermore, I don't believe humanity will fail!"
"Ultraman has passed on a lot of technology, including data on Zetton and the Beta Device, to humanity. He entrusted these to us because he trusts humanity, hoping that we can find a way to defeat Zetton."
"Therefore, on behalf of the entire Kurt team, I hereby declare my resolution: We will never give up hope and will fight to the very end."
Without waiting for a response from the officials of the various countries vying for kills, Sakami played a voice message left behind by Ultraman.
"First of all, I want to apologize."
The dignitaries from various countries listened quietly to the recording played by Captain Sakamizu, which was the voice of Kaminari... or rather, Ultraman.
"Because of me, humanity has to face the current situation in order to survive. I have replaced the basic principles of the Beta Device with the formulas relating to higher dimensions into symbols that you can understand. The Beta Device is not a finished product. I hope that you humans can use your wisdom and your hands to continuously create and improve it. As for how to use it... that is your freedom."
Countless ordinary people are living their peaceful daily lives.
Housewives are shopping at the market, assembly line workers are working numbly on the assembly line, some are getting haircuts, some are eating, some are bragging, and a fisherman lost his hooked fish because he looked up at the sky.
The world is at peace.
"Finally, I want to say... Ultraman is not an omnipotent god. He is a living being with flesh and blood, just like you. I place my hopes on all of humanity."
"Humans, I'm counting on you from now on."
After the recording ended, the online meeting fell silent.
But time is of the essence now. Zetton is building up a trillion-degree fireball, so there's no time for humans to think.
So Captain Sakami spoke first: "The Science Patrol will do everything in their power to help Ultraman defeat Zetton... Therefore, I need the support and assistance of various countries."
"Please."
The first major Eastern power to express its stance.
"We will provide technical and knowledge assistance to the Kotler team. We have already contacted experts and doctors in the field of cutting-edge physics, hoping to successfully study the beta device."
Once the first person spoke up, other countries followed suit.
"We Russians are invincible in space, and we will provide you with as much technical support and military assistance as possible."
"This time... let us become the beacon of humanity together. We will provide all possible assistance."
"We may be unable to provide technical support, but we will provide military support for the basic work of the Kurt Corps..."
Countries around the world have expressed their stance and chosen to continue the fight.
Humanity has finally united.
"Thank you all... Humanity will never perish."
Po Shui solemnly stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.
Next, the global machinery of government began to operate at breakneck speed.
As the military begins preparations for war, leading scholars collaborate online to study the principles of beta devices.
Although there were still many arguments, these arguments actually accelerated the research on the Beta Device and higher-dimensional space. Combined with the otherworldly technology and knowledge brought by Li Xiang, the research on the Beta Device progressed rapidly.
