The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

Page 283

In theory, Gaia's activity time on Earth under normal circumstances is not limited, and maintaining the Ultraman form around the clock is not a big problem.

To paraphrase Lu Xuan's older sister's comment, after merging the light of the earth and the light of the ocean, Gaia's final form was given a one-minute time limit.

However, judging from actual combat and the performance in the show, it seems that no monster has been able to withstand Gaia's full power for even a minute.

At the same time, Gaia is also one of the few Ultraman whose final form was born in the middle of the series and remained invincible until the finale.

Because of his own giant form—Gailvin—he also followed the upgrade path.

Therefore, Lu Xuan understood Gaia's potential better than anyone else.

The fact that such a powerful Gaia could perish only proves that the crisis that occurred sixteen years ago was far more complex than he had imagined.

In Lu Xuan's initial understanding, since Zoga existed on that parallel Earth...

According to the eleven dimensions of string theory, that parallel Earth should only differ in one time dimension, but be a parallel spacetime with the other ten dimensions being exactly the same as the Ultraman Tiga world.

However, Gaia's appearance undoubtedly shattered Lu Xuan's speculation.

Besides the time dimension, that parallel universe also differs from the Ultraman Tiga world in the other ten dimensions.

After ruling out the possibility that the parallel universe was Earth from the Ultraman Gaia series, Lu Xuan began to delve deeper into the clues and details.

Then Lu Xuan was astonished to discover that, out of the eleven dimensions including matter, energy, space, and time, there were as many as six dimensions that differed from the world of Ultraman Tiga.

Among these, the energy dimension differs the most from that of the Ultraman Tiga world.

The "dark energy" that is prevalent in the world of Ultraman Tiga is extremely rare in that world.

Here we must mention Lu Xuan's preconceived notions.

Because of Zoga's existence, Lu Xuan always thought that the parallel world was similar to the Ultraman Tiga world, both having an evil god Gatanothor sealed in the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

However, since "light energy" and "dark energy" are not universally existing forms of energy in this world...

Theoretically speaking, that parallel universe could not possibly have the energy environment that gave birth to Ultraman and Gatanothor.

At the very least, there is no environment on Earth capable of nurturing and attracting Gatanjah.

This leads to the biggest problem.

How did those dark vanguard soldiers—the demon bird Zoga—that have spread all over the world come about?

Zoga, the demon bird, is a servant of Gatanothor, a vanguard of darkness, and a symbol of the end of civilization...

Their appearance is enough to prove that Gatanothor has been resurrected and is using its power to destroy all civilizations on Earth.

On that parallel Earth, the already revived Gatanothor completely destroyed the possibility of civilization's birth, turning Earth into a dead star that could never give birth to life again.

The various contradictory phenomena made Lu Xuan increasingly confused.

In order to uncover the truth, Lu Xuan decided to risk traveling to the Pacific Ocean and to the place where darkness originated.

So, when Lu Xuan broke through the encirclement of the demon bird Zoga and saw the triune being in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, he finally understood the ins and outs of the whole incident.

That triune being was not Gatanothor from a parallel universe.

He is Gatanothor from the world of Ultraman Tiga, an incarnation of the "Lord of the End of Civilization".

Back when Gatanothor first summoned his familiars.

Daigo, in his guise as Tiga, was once drawn into the dark space where the opponent was, and temporarily repelled the opponent with a full-power Zepellion Ray.

Subsequently, Lu Xuan, in his guise as Galvin, ventured deep into the ruins of R'lyeh and retraced the path of Ultraman Tiga, forcibly extracting most of Gatanothor's power.

Since then, Gatanothor has fallen into an unprecedented state of weakness, but he has also fully awakened from that eternal and endless slumber.

Lurking in the dark abyss, Gatanothor constantly observes everything that happens on Earth.

This naturally includes the battle in the spacetime realm that caused spacetime chaos.

At the last moment, Daigo made a wish to the red ball to restore everything to its original state.

Gatanothor's will also took the opportunity to travel with him to Earth in a parallel universe.

Lu Xuan could imagine what would happen next, even without any evidence or clues.

With Gatanothor's intervention, a battle that swept across the entire planet erupted sixteen years ago in a parallel universe's Earth.

In that battle, Gaia and Tiga from other dimensions perished, while Gatanothor seized the opportunity to claim the final victory.

This was also confirmed after Lu Xuan found the "Light of Ultra" buried beneath the Pacific Ocean.

Due to the difference in time dimension, when Lu Xuan arrived on this parallel Earth, a full sixteen years had passed.

This is also why Lu Xuan previously told Sha Ji that he was sixteen years younger than Daigu.

Tiga, the incarnation of Daigo, had already perished sixteen years ago.

Even the Earth in that parallel universe lost its vitality due to the Gatanothor's invasion.

In the present day, only the remaining light of Gaia and Tiga remains on Earth in that parallel universe, still striving to protect the surviving humans.

However, this protection won't last long.

Gatanothor will eventually destroy all of human civilization before entering his eternal slumber once more.

To be honest, Lu Xuan was furious about Daigo's death.

But he knew that anger would not solve anything, because he was already sixteen years too late.

Gatanothor, who destroyed a civilization, even if he hadn't recovered to his peak, would still possess terrifying strength far exceeding his own.

Lu Xuan neither wanted nor intended to engage in a pointless battle with an evil god who was nearing his peak.

Just then, Saki and Tomoko tried to pull Lu Xuan back to the Ultraman Tiga world using a parallel spacetime interference device.

Chapter 452 Returning to Sixteen Years Ago

"You mean... Daigo has been dead for sixteen years?"

Shock, astonishment, disbelief...

Saki had considered what would happen if Daigo traveled to another parallel universe, and she was also clearly aware of the dangers of traveling to another parallel universe.

But she never imagined that Daigo would die in another parallel universe.

The opponent clearly possesses such immense power, even capable of transforming into a giant in times of crisis.

When Saki first heard Lu Xuan's conclusion, she even felt a sense of absurdity—how could Daigo have died?

But then, Saki saw Lu Xuan's serious face confirm this statement.

"How is that possible!?"

After a brief silence, Saki, unusually, lost control of her emotions.

Suddenly, he took a step forward, grabbed Lu Xuan by the collar, and roared.

"You're lying to me, aren't you? Daigo couldn't possibly be dead!"

Saki always treated Daigo like her own younger brother, regarding him as her family and relatives on this planet.

She simply couldn't accept the fact that Daigo was dead.

Just as she couldn't understand why Lu Xuan's expression was so calm when he talked about this news.

"Daigo is indeed dead, but that doesn't mean I can't bring him back."

Lu Xuan gently pressed the excited Saki's hand, and, having anticipated this, said calmly.

"Save them?"

Suddenly opening her eyes wide, Saki realized that Lu Xuan's composure was definitely not without reason.

If he himself was so worried about Daigo's life and safety, Lu Xuan, as Daigo's close friend, must be even more anxious than he was.

Saki still remembers the Lu Xuan she saw in the Kurara Island laboratory, with his messy hair and tired face.

"Yes, I can save him!"

His tone was resolute, and Lu Xuan had no doubt about it.

"How to save?"

Even the well-informed Saki didn't know how to bring a dead person back to life.

This can no longer be explained by science and technology.

Even in various myths and legends, resurrecting a dead person is considered an extremely difficult task.

"Change the time dimension and let me go back to sixteen years ago in a parallel universe."

Theoretically speaking, this is not an impossible operation.

The dimensional difference between that parallel universe and the Tiga world is too great. Even if the time dimension is forcibly changed, it is impossible to have a significant impact on the Tiga world.

Will there be any serious consequences?

Sensing the unspoken words Lu Xuan had left unsaid, Saki, now calm, instinctively felt a sense of foreboding.

She knew Lu Xuan's personality very well; as long as he could save Daigu, he wouldn't care about the survival of Earth in the parallel universe.

Of course, Saki is not the kind of saintly figure who is full of compassion.

Even if Lu Xuan really intends to sacrifice the survival of the parallel universe to forcibly save Daigo.

Saki would only offer a moment of silence for the people living on that parallel Earth, but she wouldn't actually stop their actions.

Ultimately, no matter how kind and compassionate Saki may appear on the surface, she still has her own selfish motives.

"It's not a serious consequence..."

Lu Xuan glanced at Saki silently, but he didn't choose to hide this from her.

"Forcibly reversing the time dimension to sixteen years ago is equivalent to making the entire parallel universe reverse time."

"Due to a lack of relevant data and experimental support, I am not yet sure what kind of impact this approach will have on parallel universes."

"However, according to string theory, it would simply create another parallel universe, one that has been splitting since sixteen years ago."

"More likely, the entire spacetime will be reshuffled because of my interference as a 'strong observer'."

At this point, Lu Xuan paused slightly before continuing.

"Simply put, the entire spacetime structure returns to sixteen years ago, and then the events of those sixteen years are reenacted in a step-by-step manner."

Unable to resist blinking, Saki once again caught the key words in Lu Xuan's words.

"Strong Observer?"

For some reason, Saki suddenly thought of the probability cloud theory in quantum mechanics.

In the theory of probability clouds, the microstructures in atoms do not exist and move according to fixed rules; their state changes depending on the external observer.

The double-slit interference experiment and the uncertainty principle that arose from this were once unknowns that classical mechanics could not explain.

Changes occur because of observation, differences arise because of observation, and even births are born because of observation...

The various phenomena that defy the laws of physics seem to be exactly the same as what Lu Xuan is about to do.

"If we consider a naturally developing timeline as the original timeline..."

"Those interferers who should not have appeared on this timeline but appeared on this timeline due to various accidents can be called observers."

"Among them, those observers who cannot resist the time paradox, or who will eventually merge into this timeline, I will collectively call 'weak observers'."

"They are powerless to change what happens on this timeline, because what they do will eventually become part of this timeline."

“But I am different; I actively sought out this timeline.”

"I know clearly what the future of this timeline will be like, and I also have the ability to change the past of this timeline."

"Regardless of what the future holds for this timeline, when I decide to change the past of this timeline, those predetermined futures are destined to be overturned."

"This is what is called a 'strong observer'."

Lu Xuan's conclusion was arrogant, yet surprisingly consistent with his persona and personality.

At least, Saki is finally relieved and no longer worries about whether the other party can save Daigo.

"Then what are you standing there for! Hurry up!"

“Daigo is different from you. It's too unsafe for him to be alone in a parallel universe.”
