The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

Page 146

As Lu Xuan had predicted, You Lian's next words proved his guess.

Having acquired the power of four powerful giants and hundreds of slightly less powerful human hosts, the increasingly arrogant ancient humans made an unexpected yet logical choice.

They must nip the danger in the bud; they must end it before Gatanjah fully awakens.

In this context, the ancient civilization easily located Gatanothor's resting place—the ruins of R'lyeh.

To ensure the smooth progress of the plan, the Earth Guard Corps committed almost all the resources of the ancient civilization to this battle.

However, the final result was unexpected by everyone.

First, hundreds of giants were affected by Gatanothor's power.

Before the war even began, the country was in complete chaos, and infighting and killing of each other had begun.

Following this, the four giants on whom high hopes were placed also began to turn to the dark side after venturing deeper into the ruins of R'lyeh.

The first to be affected was Hitler.

As a giant known as the "Agile Warrior," Hitler's fighting style has always been extremely cruel and ruthless.

In fact, Hitler never had any courage or hope from the beginning.

The reason he was able to remain unaffected by the forces of darkness was simply because of his overly self-centered, even narcissistic, personality.

No one can control themselves, and no one can influence them...

It was with this extreme mindset that Hitler was able to withstand the first wave of negative influence from Gatanothor and ultimately stand out from the many human hosts.

Next, the second person to turn evil was Darram.

Unlike Hitler, the "Warrior of Might" Darram, though taciturn, possessed extremely calm rationality and wisdom.

It was precisely because of this rational and wise understanding that Darram was able to ignore Gatanjee's seduction and firmly move forward on the path he believed to be right.

Unfortunately, Darram's rationality was ultimately distorted by Gatanothor's will.

Darram believed that his actions were saving the ancient civilization until all the giants had been slaughtered.

Then Camilla transformed into the Dark Giant.

Unlike Hitler and Darramb, Camilla has always been considered the most likely of the four Titans to fall into corruption within the Earth Garrison.

The reason she was able to stand out from the many human incarnations and remain unaffected by the dark forces was simply because of her fervent passion and love for Tiga.

To put it simply, Camilla is a hopeless romantic.

If it's something that Ultraman Tiga's human form believes to be right, then it's right, even if it's wrong.

Logically speaking, as long as Tiga's human host doesn't turn evil first, even if Camilla eventually falls, she won't cause much harm.

Unfortunately, Yu Lian underestimated her own influence.

Despite having already established a romantic relationship with Tiga's human form, Camilla has always secretly regarded Yuzare as her potential rival in love.

Thus, in order to make sure that Tiga's human form only had eyes for her, Camilla naturally fell into depravity.

It is even more so because its degree of corruption far surpasses that of Hitler and Darramb.

The power Camilla received from Gatanothor was far beyond what the other two giants could match.

As for Ultraman Tiga's human form?

Although he was the most outstanding human being in the ancient civilization.

But he watched helplessly as his comrades and girlfriend died in battle and fell into depravity.

Even with his unwavering and tenacious will, he inevitably fell into a slump, and was then exploited by Gatanothor's dark power.

The only saving grace is that although Tiga's human form has fallen into darkness, he has always maintained his pride and never harms the weak.

Afterwards, Yuzare and the Earth Guard tried every means to awaken Tiga's will.

That led to the ending that Lu Xuan knew.

Dark Tiga returned to the light at the last moment and sealed his three comrades deep within the ruins of R'lyeh.

......................................................................................................

"So, what does this have to do with Galvin?"

After listening for a while, Lu Xuan finally gained a detailed understanding of the rise and fall of the last ancient civilization.

Although many mysteries remain unsolved.

However, he still managed to figure out some details that were not mentioned in the original TV series and theatrical version.

But what does this have to do with Galvin?

Is it simply because Gaelvin's "human selection mechanism" was destroyed by the ancient civilization that he was most easily affected by Gatanothor?

Logically speaking, there is no problem with this.

However, based on some of the conversations between Camilla and Hitler, Lu Xuan felt that the situation was not as simple as he had imagined.

There must be some other secret hidden within Gaelvin, or rather, the Dark Giant.

Otherwise, why would other human beings be affected by Gatanothor and simply lose control or go berserk?

Ironically, these four strongest giants ultimately fell into darkness and became true Dark Giants.

"You are very perceptive..."

He stared at Galvin's body with a complicated expression, noticing the patterns that resembled those of Dark Tiga.

Yu Lian, seemingly lost in thought, sighed softly, her tone filled with deep regret.

"The fall of the four most powerful giants into the Dark Giants was not an unforeseen 'accident'."

"Because long before the pro-war faction decided to enter the R'lyeh ruins, the Earth Guard was full of objections to this operation, believing it to be an act of arrogance."

"But the true peacemakers within the ancient civilization had already launched the 'Wandering Homeland Operation,' leading those willing to follow them back to the stars..."

"As for the remaining people?"

"It's just a minority who are unwilling to give up this new home and still have doubts about the existence of Gatangia."

"Compared to the arrogant and self-important pro-war faction, these minority groups are far too few in number to influence the decision-making level of the Earth Guard Corps."

"Therefore, the pro-war faction passed a plan called 'artificial god' with almost no hindrance."

Chapter 232 Retracing Ultraman Tiga's Path

"Artificial God?"

Let's set aside the question of what the pro-war faction's plan actually is.

Just hearing the name of the plan, Lu Xuan sensed an unprecedented arrogance and ambition.

"That's right, an artificial god."

Nodding slightly, You Lian explained further in a deep tone.

"The real Tiga is as powerful as a god, and also possesses a near-infinite ability to evolve and adapt."

"Unfortunately, with the fall of the first human host and the shattering of the Spark Prism, no one has been able to truly transform into Ultraman Tiga since."

"Even with the help of the Spark Prism that we replicated, the ancient humans were able to fight temporarily in the form of Ultraman Tiga."

"But without the crucial courage and hope, the power that a human being can exert is also limited."

Yu Lian paused slightly at this point.

"Therefore, in order to restore the power of the original Ultraman Tiga..."

"At the same time, in order to completely defeat Gatanothor, the pro-war faction decided to artificially create a 'new god'."

To be honest, the pro-war faction's plan was actually quite simple.

That is to use the giants' abilities to forcibly divide, steal, and even possess the dark power of the evil god Gatanothor.

The real Ultraman Tiga possesses the ability to quickly adapt to changes in the external environment.

By assimilating faith, beliefs, and even alien energy, Ultraman Tiga was able to unleash terrifying power beyond his normal state when facing dire circumstances.

However, since the death of Tiga's original human host, none of his successors have shown similar potential.

However, the pro-war faction firmly believes that it was simply because the subsequent human hosts were not capable enough.

Furthermore, these individuals firmly believe that the giants born from the study of the Ultraman Tiga statue also possess this potential.

From this perspective, isn't Gatanothor, who symbolizes "darkness" and "despair," also another form of faith and energy?

If there are enough Ancient Titans, then Gatanothor's "authority" can be divided into countless smaller pieces.

To put it even more boldly, what if Tiga could completely assimilate Gatanothor's abilities and become the true Dark Tiga?

So, can Dark Tiga become a "new god" comparable to the original Tiga?

Even You Lian had to admit that the extremely arrogant ideas of the pro-war faction had indeed achieved some results.

The emergence of the Dark Four proved the feasibility of this plan.

The one thing these fanatical war advocates hadn't considered was...

It is likely that the power of the evil god Gatanothor is far beyond what human will can resist.

Even Ultraman Tiga's human form, who is known as the "most perfect human form".

After a painful struggle, he eventually fell into darkness and became the true Dark Tiga.

......................................................................................................

"After Tiga returned to the light and joined forces with the two surviving giants to seal the ruins, the ancient civilization officially came to an end."

I wouldn't say I'm lamenting, nor would I say I'm regretting...

Yu Lian spoke as if it were something unrelated to her, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"But the existence of Dark Tiga seems to have left a very deep impression on Gatanothor."

"After the destruction of the ancient civilization, Gatanothor's retinue searched for traces left by Ultraman Tiga more than once."

"In order to protect the statue of Ultraman Tiga, I used the last power of the ancient civilization to successfully build a pyramid filled with the power of light."

“But Galvin, who exists as a ‘Tiga replica,’ was not so lucky.”

"The pyramid where He resided was corrupted by dark forces, and He Himself almost became an incarnation of Gatanothor."

Without going into detail about that tumultuous experience, Yu Lian simply skipped over the topic and continued her story.

"In short, Gatanothor's attempt ultimately failed."

"To prevent Gaelvin's body from becoming a host for dark forces again, I had Gedi guard the dark pyramid until you appeared."

Upon hearing this, Galvin finally understood the whole story.

At the same time, Galvin also gained a clearer understanding of the giant's body he was using.

"That sounds like a really big problem..."

Galvin was telling the truth.

He never expected that his current body would actually hide such a "disaster attribute".

To attract Gatanothor's attention, to draw in the forces of darkness...

This explains all the unusual things that happened to me after I entered this ruin.

"Then I'll ask one last question: how do I stop Gatanjah's resurgence?"

Thinking of this, Galvin suddenly changed the subject and asked a question.

He has not forgotten his purpose in voluntarily entering the ruins of R'lyeh.

They also didn't forget that three dark giants and an evil god were watching them from the outside.

Rather than delving into the origins of his current body, Galvin is now more concerned with how to solve this problem.

Of course, that's what I asked.

But what Galvin is really thinking right now is probably only known to Himself.
