The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

Without any exaggerated descriptions, the human head model is simply described literally as "cracked."

Like blooming flower petals, or like a cracked eggshell...

The split-open human head model clearly revealed its empty interior, just like a real model.

However, Lu Xuan, who inherited the "power of light," saw it more clearly: the empty interior of the human head model was not like this from the beginning.

That's why it looks so empty now.

It's simply because the "dark power" inside it has broken free.

The previous surge of energy was most likely a remnant of the "dark power" after it broke free from its shell.

"Boss, genetic material suspected to be DNA has been detected in the scan..."

The AI's voice came from Lu Xuan's wristwatch almost simultaneously, along with the scanned and restored DNA genetic material.

That wasn't a complete piece of DNA genetic material, and there weren't many clues that could be analyzed from it.

"Based on a comparison with the system's database, this suspected DNA genetic material shares 32.7% similarity with the genes of Golza, Melba, and Gedi..."

"By tracing its genetic links, there is a 97.62% probability that it is an ancient organism."

After listening to the AI's analysis, Lu Xuan basically understood the function of the human head model.

"No wonder this human head model survived..."

"It turns out that he had already become an 'egg' of an ancient creature."

Lu Xuan was already puzzled as to why the deep-sea fish and shrimp had devoured Sheng Jian's body, leaving behind only a completely inorganic human head.

If this human head has turned into the egg of some unknown creature, then everything makes sense.

This unknown, ancient creature parasitized Katsumi, hoping to hatch using his flesh and spirit.

"It seems like..."

"Did the prophet hide this head in the deep sea to prevent this unknown ancient creature from hatching?"

As soon as one of Lu Xuan's doubts was resolved, another one welled up in his mind.

"So, who hatched this 'egg' now?"

"And what is his purpose?"

"Who could it be?"

As if in response to Lu Xuan's murmur, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the study.

boom!

It sounded like something falling to the ground, or perhaps like some kind of violent impact.

Even though Lu Xuan realized what was happening, he wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he showed an expression of "I knew it."

The next second, Lu Xuan used his telekinetic power to smash open the study door, and then rushed out of the study with the model head in his arms.

"Dagu?"

When Lu Xuan reappeared at the door of the study.

Daigo, still shaken, stared at the collapsed escalator not far away.

Below the escalator, Mrs. Iwama lay on the ground, her body contorted in a bizarre posture.

It was as if all the bones in his body had been shattered, yet strangely, Iwama, whose body was twisted, did not bleed, and there was not even a trace of external wound.

"She attacked me first!"

Upon seeing Lu Xuan, Daigu breathed a sigh of relief.

"She is not Mrs. Iwama..."

"No, Lady Iwama is no longer human!"

Seeing that Lu Xuan seemed slightly puzzled, Daigo quickly began to explain.

"Shortly after you went in, Lady Iwama suddenly attacked me."

"Fortunately, 'Snail Shell's' energy shield blocked her sneak attack and even bounced her off."

"And then... she became like this..."

Looking at Mrs. Iwama, whose limbs were twisted beyond recognition, Daigo swore that he had never done it.

The moment the energy shield blasted Lady Iwama away, the Tiga Crystal seemed to flash with light.

Immediately afterwards, Lady Iwama, like a monster exposed by a demon-revealing mirror, transformed into her current bizarre and distorted appearance.

"I know you would never do such a thing."

After gently comforting the still-shaken Daigo, Lu Xuan walked to the escalator and looked down at Madam Iwama on the first floor.

"Ho...ho...ho..."

Noticing Lu Xuan's gaze, Lady Iwama, whose body was twisted strangely, slowly raised her head.

Its body, which was originally flat on the ground, arched up like a spider, and it kept making inhuman noises.

"It's as if she's saying that the 'light' we radiate is really disgusting."

Under Lu Xuan's surprised gaze, Daigo, who seemed to understand Lady Iwama's strange cry, explained in a low voice.

Then, Daigo, coming to his senses, opened his mouth wide in astonishment, completely unable to understand how he had gleaned these thoughts from that inhuman voice.

"This must be a language system that is beyond the scope of human cognition."

I did a quick adjustment of the translation mode on the watch.

When Lu Xuan looked down at Madam Iwama again, he was able to understand what she was saying.

“Damn it… the ‘Man of Light’…”

"Wouldn't it be better to just be a sacrifice... honestly..."

Completely transformed into a demon, Lady Iwama roared as she slithered along the wall like a real spider, rapidly heading towards the second floor.

Silence!

Seeing this, Lu Xuan, who was prepared, instantly drew his sidearm and fired a burst of shots in the direction of Madam Iwama.

The scorching energy beams unsurprisingly pierced through Mrs. Iwama's body, leaving scorched craters in the floor.

Unfortunately, even though her body was pierced by energy rays, Lady Iwama did not stop moving at all.

Whether it's the damage from a gunshot or the impact.

For Mrs. Iwama now, it's as if she doesn't exist.

It violates the laws governing the structure of living organisms, and even the most fundamental laws of physics...

Before Daigo could react, Lady Iwama reappeared before them like a ghost.

boom!

Before anyone knew it, Lu Xuan, now wearing electromagnetic boxing gloves, strode forward and delivered a vicious punch to Madam Iwama's face.

Caught off guard, the previously aggressive Mrs. Iwama was suddenly knocked down by a punch and fell from the building again.

"It seems the mystery has been solved; you were the one who secretly hatched this 'Dark Egg'!"

The cracked model head still surrounded Lu Xuan, and his voice was cold and resolute.

Lady Iwama's inhuman demeanor says it all.

She was the one who secretly sneaked into Iwama Joe's study and hatched the "Dark Egg".

"When did you begin to be seduced by dark forces?"

At this moment, Lu Xuan had no doubt that Madam Iwama had deliberately led him into the study.

Perhaps they were trying to mislead the direction of their investigation?

Or perhaps he simply wanted to sacrifice himself and Daigo?

Regardless of their initial intentions, Lady Iwama underestimated Lu Xuan and Daigo.

Lu Xuan saw through the true nature of the human head model at a glance, something that Mrs. Iwama could never have imagined.

What surprised her even more was that Daigo, who seemed to be the better match between the two, was able to unleash such a dazzling "power of light" at the last moment.

"Bewitchment?"

Having finally regained some clarity and rationality, Lady Iwama looked up at Lu Xuan with an almost manic expression and spoke.

"No, this is not incitement, it's just an exchange!"

"I want to live, and it wants to live too..."

"So we mutually benefit, that's all!"

Calm yet obsessed, lucid yet insane...

Lady Iwama's injuries healed at a visible speed, and her dark aura grew stronger in the process.

"I finally realize what I had overlooked before."

After calmly looking around, Lu Xuan said in a low voice, seemingly lost in thought.

“When Iwama Takashi came to me for help, he clearly told me that the prophet was threatening his wife and daughters…”

"Looking back now, Iwama Takashi wasn't completely under control at the time, so his words should have some credibility."

"However, what he didn't expect was that the prophet didn't actually take action himself."

"The prophet simply whispered a few words of persuasion in his wife's ear, and she opened Pandora's box with her own hands."

The general truth of the matter has come to light, but there are still a few details that Lu Xuan finds puzzling.

Where exactly are the ancient life forms within the 'Dark Egg'?

Faced with Lu Xuan's questioning, Madam Iwama, who had regained her mobility, smiled gently.

Her alluring smile, combined with Mrs. Iwama's current posture, evoked a strange sense of dread.

Even more horrifying, Lady Iwama, not content with that, tore off her own face, revealing her flesh and blood, corrupted by dark forces.

Why don't you guess?

Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Iwama unexpectedly stepped back, then frantically smashed open the villa's door and fled.

Chapter 167 The One Who Resides in Darkness

"We can't let her get away!"

It wasn't Lu Xuan who said this, but Daigu, who had a bad feeling.

Watching Mrs. Iwama's retreating figure, Daigo felt as if he were seeing a demon unleashed from its cage.

God knows if Lady Iwama, now transformed into a demon, still has any humanity left.

If the other party goes berserk and hurts innocent people, Daigo will truly regret it for the rest of his life.

"Of course we can't let her get away; she's our only lead right now."

Without turning his head, Lu Xuan tossed a sentence at Da Gu and immediately leaped off the building.

Silence!

With the help of telekinesis to accelerate and sprint, Lu Xuan, who was hovering in mid-air, was only half a beat slower before rushing out of the villa following Madam Iwama's back.

"Uh……"

Upon witnessing this scene, Daigo was initially astonished, then tentatively glanced at the height beneath his feet.

Considering his mortal nature, Daigo ultimately decided to honestly take the stairs.

After all, she didn't have Lu Xuan's superpowers, so the chances of her dying from jumping off this cliff were much higher.
