"You see, not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am."
Lu Xuan shrugged slightly, put down his watch, and turned his gaze back to the time capsule.
"If you show yourself now, I can guarantee that I won't damage your core program and will allow you to maintain your 'self'."
"Otherwise, while cracking the database left by the ancient civilization would be troublesome, it is not impossible for me."
This time, the time capsule finally broke its silence.
clack clack...
With a soft turning sound, the time capsule, which had been activated again, split open from the middle and projected a 3D virtual image.
“You can call me Yu Lian, the warrior who has awakened the ‘power of light’ on her own.”
"I am the leader of the Earth Guard Corps during the ancient era, and also an artificial intelligence system that was created to prevent a crisis on Earth."
She was draped in a pristine white robe from head to toe, and her gentle voice sounded cold and indifferent.
If it weren't for the other party's semi-illusory figure revealing her true identity...
I doubt anyone would think she's just an artificial intelligence left behind by an ancient civilization.
"Ancient civilizations are indeed a bunch of stubborn old fogies. They won't show themselves unless you force them with this method."
With a faint smile, Lu Xuan spoke in a tone devoid of sarcasm.
"But the way you address me is quite novel..."
"A warrior who has awakened the 'power of light' on his own?"
"So, my appearance was completely unexpected by you? That's why you're targeting me like this?"
After a slight pause, Lu Xuan continued speaking before You Lian could object.
"No, that shouldn't be the case."
"In order to deal with me, you even woke up the 'time capsule' ahead of time, disturbing the sleeping Golza and Melba."
In the original TV storyline, the awakening of Golza and Melba summoned the ancient "time capsule," which in turn led to a series of clues about the Tiga Pyramid.
However, in this world, it was because Lu Xuan forcibly opened the Tiga Pyramid that the "time capsule" of the ancient civilization arrived on Earth ahead of schedule.
As for Golza and Melba's premature awakening?
Whether it was because of Lu Xuan or because of the ancient time capsule, we don't know.
In any case, Yu Lian, who possesses a high degree of intelligence and self-discipline, firmly disagrees with the other party's statement.
“The warriors who awakened the ‘Power of Light’ on their own, Golza and Melba, were awakened ahead of schedule because of you.”
After briefly refuting Lu Xuan's statement, You Lian did not intend to continue arguing with him on this issue, and instead took the initiative to ask a question.
What do you want from me?
She wasn't foolish enough to ask Lu Xuan how he knew about her existence.
Yu Lian judged from the logic of artificial intelligence that the other party must have something very important to do by deliberately invading the TPC Far East base to find her.
Therefore, the opponent can even temporarily ignore the battle taking place in the Land of Tiga.
"I want many things, but what I want most is the 'truth'."
Faced with You Lian's questioning, Lu Xuan was surprisingly calm.
Or rather, under these circumstances, Lu Xuan had no interest in, nor any need to, conceal his true intentions.
"Why are you, or rather, this ancient civilization, deliberately targeting me?"
"Is it simply because I'm looking for the Tiga Pyramid?"
"But if we really go by that logic, why didn't you show up and stop the Dark Demon God Doguf from destroying the Tiga Pyramid during the Jomon period five thousand years ago?"
With a slight upturn of his lips, Lu Xuan's next question hit the nail on the head.
"Or is it that what you're really worried about isn't me, but the 'light' of the giant I inherited?"

Chapter 143 The First Ray of Light
"What? You don't want to answer this question directly?"
He observed You Lian's subtle expressions without making a sound.
Lu Xuan was unable to glean any further details from the other party.
However, it's not surprising when you think about it. No matter how human-like Yuzare appears, she is essentially an artificial intelligence created by an ancient civilization.
Trying to glean anything from the expression of an artificial intelligence is probably something only a true God could do!
"Or should I rephrase my question? What is the relationship between the giant in the underground shrine of Kumamoto City and the real Ultraman Tiga?"
In the tokusatsu series Tiga, there are similarities between Evil Tiga and Tiga.
It can be explained by plot conflicts, costume modifications, or even deliberate arrangements by the director and screenwriter.
After all, the episode in which Evil Tiga appeared was titled "The Successor of Shadows".
This corresponds perfectly to the first episode featuring Ultraman Tiga, "The Successor of Light".
Therefore, from the perspective of dramatic conflict alone, nothing is more suitable for the appearance of the BOSS in this episode than Evil Tiga.
However, in a real world...
Evil Tiga, who is highly similar to Tiga, or even cut from the same mold.
His existence seems utterly incredible.
After ruling out the possibility that Tiga has a generic face, the answer becomes obvious.
"Actually, from the first moment I saw Gedi and that giant, a question has been lingering in my mind."
"Geddy underwent some kind of modification surgery by an ancient civilization, which gave him the 'organ of light' that only giants can possess."
"And what about its partner—the giant who also resides in the underground temple?"
After a slight pause, Lu Xuan's gaze towards You Lian was now filled with certainty.
"Since you've already guessed it, why ask me?"
After a brief silence, Yu Lian finally spoke again.
"As a witness to the 'darkness' of the ancient era..."
"The efforts made by ancient civilizations to survive were far greater than you can imagine."
What you know is just the tip of the iceberg.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan finally laughed without any attempt to hide his laughter, his eyes filled with longing and excitement.
"You see, just as you've always been wary of, I've never been a gentleman."
"Compared to Daigo, who is 'born holy,' I have no intention of becoming a knight of justice under the sun..."
"Therefore, I am also very clear about the kind of insane things a civilization might do when faced with a crisis that could lead to its annihilation."
"Compared to all your worries and anxieties..."
"I simply want to know the truth, to know what really happened 30 million years ago."
The sound stopped again, and the light in Lu Xuan's eyes brightened at that moment.
Tell me the whole truth about the 'artificial giants'!
......................................................................................................
Earth is not a planet where life existed from the beginning.
As the third planet from the solar system, Earth only began to show signs of life after billions of years of evolution.
Before the birth of native life on Earth, some powerful races and individuals had already settled there, migrating from distant outer space to Earth.
These alien races and life forms are simply too powerful and have extremely long lifespans.
Therefore, they launched a series of great wars on Earth in ancient times, attempting to influence the future trajectory of this planet.
Until a terrifying "King of Darkness" descended upon Earth, choosing this planet stained with blood and fire as his final resting place.
What exactly happened during that time remains unknown.
The only certainty is that, with the eternal slumber of the "Dark Lord," the vast majority of alien races left Earth.
Then, after an unknown amount of time, Earth finally gave birth to its own native life.
However, just as these primitive life forms reached the pinnacle of their civilization, the "Lord of Darkness" awoke.
Then, a massive meteorite struck Earth, annihilating all life and civilization that had been nurtured on the planet.
Only a few life forms that burrowed underground and evolved enormous bodies withstood this devastating natural disaster, becoming beings favored and pitied by the planet.
Time flies, and I don't know how much time has passed.
Before new life and civilization could emerge, a new nomadic race discovered Earth and decided to settle there.
This was the earliest ancient civilization, a nomadic civilization that possessed extremely advanced technology.
This civilization built bustling cities on Earth, lived in harmony with nature, and was gradually accepted as a member of the planet.
This situation continued until the "Dark Lord" showed signs of awakening again.
Influenced by the dark forces, those life forms that had previously evolved into enormous bodies—later known as "monsters"—began to panic and go berserk.
In order to fight against the vanguard of these dark forces, the ancient civilization began to manufacture various weapons in an attempt to save itself.
Unfortunately, the power of the monsters and darkness far exceeded the limits that the ancient civilization could withstand.
They watched helplessly as the civilization they had painstakingly built was about to perish.
A beam of light suddenly appeared from the distant constellation Orion and assimilated with those among the surviving individuals who had not yet lost their courage, becoming the original "Giant of Light".
The ancient civilization called this giant, a symbol of courage and hope, "Ultraman Tiga!"
It must be admitted that Tiga's appearance brought a glimmer of hope to the ancient civilization.
With the help of giants, humans in the ancient civilization gradually defeated the rampaging monsters and sealed away the followers of the dark forces.
But reality is never a movie, and the plot unfolds in a way that is far more illogical than anyone could have imagined.
Just before the dawn of victory.
Infected by the power of the "Dark Lord," the ancient plant that had never bloomed before—the Zijera Flower—has blossomed.
This is a plant that can create illusions and bring people the ultimate enjoyment. Its appearance shattered the last line of defense of the ancient civilization.
Unwilling to face reality any longer, the ancient humans gave up the fight and chose to remain forever immersed in that false fantasy.
Therefore, Tiga, unwilling to interfere too much with human choices, left Earth and returned to his home planet.
Fortunately, just in case, Tiga left behind his battle-worn body before leaving.
It was thanks to the body left behind by Tiga that the remaining ancient humans were able to barely continue resisting the encroachment of darkness.
This is the story that happened after the original giant of light, Ultraman Tiga, came to Earth.
The story doesn't have a perfect ending, but it's full of human struggle and relief.

Chapter 144 Dark Giant
After Tiga left Earth, the ancient humans who were still unwilling to give up resolved to rebel.
Having experienced the destruction of their home once, they were unwilling to abandon the home they had worked so hard to build again.
Apart from a few who returned to space, the vast majority of ancient humans chose to remain on Earth, in the home they had painstakingly built.
But this led to new problems.
Now that Tiga has left, how will the remaining ancient humans face the "Dark King" who will follow?
The Spark Prism project was launched under these circumstances.
In a situation where one has already lost courage and hope.
