The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

Page 20

Unaware of what Lu Xuan was thinking, Daigo stared wide-eyed ahead.

In less than a breath, a massive black pyramid appeared out of thin air in the underground world.

It was like a huge and magnificent black temple.

The Black Pyramid is surrounded by countless stone pillars, which are carved with various murals and patterns.

At just a cursory glance, Daigo noticed that all the murals and patterns depicted the same protagonist—a towering giant.

It seemed to be a magnificent giant with the size of a mountain.

He fights in the sea, in the mountains, in the cities, in the plains, in the sky...

His adversaries include behemoths in the water, demons in the mountains, dragons in the sky, plants on the ground, and even mechanical constructs in the city...

Those murals depict the entire life of this giant as he battled against heaven and earth.

Finally, gazing at the darkness of the ruins, he collapsed to his knees, utterly powerless.

The magnificent giant ultimately could not withstand the onslaught of darkness.

Or perhaps, this giant was ultimately abandoned by what he was protecting, and could only watch helplessly as darkness eroded everything.

Although there are no written descriptions, the information depicted in the murals alone is enough to give people an epic sense of awe and impact.

At the very least, Daigo seemed to have experienced the life of the Titans as if he were experiencing it himself, feeling the despair of being so close to the light, yet ultimately failing.

"He...failed in the end..."

Tears streamed involuntarily from the corners of his eyes, and Daigo's voice was sorrowful and low.

Whatever this giant was protecting, whatever darkness he faced, he ultimately failed.

Having lost everything, He knelt on the ground, watching helplessly as the things He cherished and protected were destroyed by darkness, and could only howl hysterically at the sky like a wild beast.

Chapter 34 Ancient Civilization (New book, please read!)

"Yes, He ultimately failed."

Lu Xuan's gaze lingered on the murals in the underground temple for a long time, and he understood the significance of these murals better than Daigo.

In Ultraman Tiga's world, there was an ancient civilization on Earth 30 million years ago, and these giants were the guardians of that civilization, the ultimate force against darkness.

Unfortunately, this civilization ultimately failed and perished before darkness descended.

From a purely conceptual standpoint, this is simply a standard setup before the main storyline begins.

It serves as a reminder to humanity of how terrifying the darkness they will face in the future may be.

However, once the scenario becomes reality, all that those involved can feel is despair and shock.

Against the backdrop of the "extinction of an ancient civilization," there are countless desperate and furious roars, just like the giant depicted in the murals.

The civilization they protected with all their might was like an ant in the face of true darkness.

They could only watch helplessly as civilization was destroyed, venting their anger and resentment with their final roars.

There was nothing more they could do.

"Is He dead?"

Looking past the stone pillars engraved with murals, Daigo, who already guessed what was inside the black pyramid, asked in a low voice.

After all, aside from the giant's "corpse," Daigo couldn't think of anything else worth preserving in a giant pyramid.

"He did not die; what is preserved here is merely the body he once used in battle."

Now that things have come to this, Lu Xuan no longer hides anything and reveals all the information he knows.

"This giant, or rather these giants, are warriors who fought on Earth 30 million years ago."

"But the civilizations they protected ultimately failed to withstand the invasion of darkness, and perished at their peak."

"Therefore, in order to ensure that later civilizations would not be left defenseless when faced with the onslaught of darkness..."

"Among these giants who once protected the ancient civilization, some chose to leave their bodies, which had fought there, on Earth."

"Hiding inside this 'black pyramid' is just one of them."

At this point, Lu Xuan paused slightly before continuing.

"As for the real giants?"

"They have long since turned into starlight and returned to the universe, back to the home that nurtured them."

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

The underground world, an unknown and uncharted space.

"what?"

Having just seen off his fellow tribesmen, the Kiriel, known as the "Magician," noticed the anomaly occurring at the temple.

Under normal circumstances, the black pyramids of underground temples are in a state of self-concealment, existing in a dimension completely different from the present world.

Even the Kyrieir, who came from outside the universe, lived in a spacetime fault, and were extremely sensitive to the subspace, took a considerable amount of time to barely pinpoint the location of the Black Pyramid.

Therefore, let alone people in this era...

Even if humanity's technology advances for another thousand years, it will be virtually impossible for them to find the Black Pyramid on their own.

In fact, this is also a major reason why magicians scoff at the concerns of prophets.

"How is that possible? How could mere humans possibly find that place?"

The magician already knew that the Galvin Corporation planned to build a new energy power plant above the underground world, and he was also aware of the company's exploration of the underground world.

This was simply to prevent things from escalating and attracting the attention of the TPC.

The magician deliberately influenced and interfered with the Ainu people's thinking, contributing to the successful acquisition of the land for the new energy power plant by the Galvin Company.

Because, in the magician's view, he had enough time and ability to deal with this company.

At worst, we can follow the old routine, directly control and brainwash the company's chairman, and gain additional power.

However, to her utter surprise, not long after that, this company in the human world actually found the existence of the Black Pyramid.

"It seems the prophet was right this time. We really shouldn't underestimate these humans."

After a brief moment of thought, the magician felt that he might have to act preemptively to nip any potential problems in the bud.

The magician was just a bit lazy and disobedient, but he wasn't a fool or a megalomaniac.

The unusual occurrence at the "Black Pyramid" is likely a sign of something.

"Then let's start with the Ainu!"

As the magician finished speaking, a blazing fire appeared out of nowhere in the darkness.

Through that burning sacred flame.

One by one, the Ainu people with blank stares slowly emerged, seemingly muttering words like "fire," "my lord," and "holy."

These Ainu people are humans who have been brainwashed and manipulated by the magician; they can be considered her subordinates to some extent.

Although these Ainu were not very useful most of the time, they were sufficient as mere "consumables".

"Just in case, we need to prepare some measures."

Slowly rising to his feet, the magician flew forward without touching the ground.

Wherever it passed, flames burned and the darkness was illuminated, and the originally quiet and empty underground world seemed to have been transformed into an alternate dimension distorted by flames.

And in the reflection of this firelight, a black pyramid seemed to be faintly visible not far away.

However, compared to the black pyramid that Lu Xuan and Daigu saw, the black pyramid reflected in the firelight was obviously more illusory and also much larger.

The Black Pyramids are relics left by an ancient civilization, sacred objects that only the chosen ones can see. As outsiders, the Kyrieir people are naturally not qualified to come into contact with them.

Therefore, the magician could only barely detect the existence of the black pyramid by interfering with the subspace.

However, it must be admitted that the Kiriel people truly deserve to be called beings who arrived on Earth long before the Middle Ages.

Not only does it possess various extraordinary abilities, but its form of existence is also infinitely close to that of the Giant of Light, which is why it is able to use this abnormal method to peer into and enter the interior of the Black Pyramid.

Guided by the sacred flame, a large group of dazed Ainu people followed closely behind the magician, inching closer to the underground temple they had worshipped for generations.

What these Ainu people didn't know was that this might be the last time in their lives they would be so close to their "faith".

Chapter 35 Offense is the best defense

Half an hour later, at the underground temple.

"So now the question is, how do we get into this black pyramid?"

Having already circled most of the Black Pyramid, Daigo finally couldn't help but ask the question.

After half an hour of observation and exploration, Daigo had not found any passage leading to the interior of the black pyramid.

On the contrary, it was the murals on the huge stone pillars around that attracted Daigo's attention more.

Through detailed observation of the murals, Daigo not only gained a more comprehensive understanding of the giant's life, but also noticed that the giant was not fighting alone.

Aside from the occasional scenes and images of him fighting alongside other giants.

In most murals, this giant is depicted with a monster companion with huge horns.

Although the monster had a humanoid appearance, its behavior was as ferocious as that of a hunting dog.

Many murals depict this monster roaring and tearing at its enemies, showing its ferocious side like a hellhound.

It was with this loyal demon dog by his side that the giant in the mural was able to defeat his opponents time and time again until he faced his final dark moment.

"If it were so easy to get inside the pyramid, I would start to doubt its authenticity."

He calmly pulled a small detection device from his pocket.

Lu Xuan scanned the energy index and radiation level in the vicinity repeatedly, hoping to find the weakest point of this black pyramid.

No matter how hard Lu Xuan searched, the black pyramid was as perfect as a cliff, and he couldn't find the slightest flaw.

"so what should I do now?"

Slightly puzzled, Daigo scratched his head. He didn't think Lu Xuan was the kind of person who would give up easily.

So now he's a little curious: what other way does this alien, who can pull out all sorts of mysterious gadgets like Doraemon, have to get inside this black pyramid?

"Perhaps we don't need to keep looking for an entrance..."

Just then, Lu Xuan suddenly shoved the small detector back into his pocket and then stared warily at a certain spot on the black pyramid.

"It seems that the 'master' here has decided to expel us by force."

As if in response to Lu Xuan's words, a large group of Ainu people with blank stares slowly emerged from the flames that appeared out of nowhere.

The sacred flames seemed to be the only passage leading into the interior of the black pyramid.

Every time an Ainu person emerges from it, the surrounding space is clearly distorted.

"Master? Are those all enemies!?"

Instantly raising his alertness to the extreme, Daigo asked in a slightly flustered low voice.

Experiencing such a scene for the first time, Daigo felt his breathing become disordered, especially when he noticed the blank stares of the Ainu people, he instinctively felt fear.

"Don't be afraid, they are just a group of puppets being manipulated."

"As long as they don't pull out their guns, your 'protective suit' can completely protect you..."

Before Lu Xuan could finish speaking, Daigo saw the leading Ainu man suddenly pull out a pistol, and it was a large-caliber one at that.

"Uh, okay! Just pretend I didn't say any of that."

Slightly helpless, Lu Xuan shrugged, never expecting that he would have such a talent for jinxing.

"What should we do now!"

Daigo, who was already somewhat flustered, became even more flustered after seeing the Ainu people pull out their guns.

Ultimately, even after a week of acclimatization training, Daigo was still just a college student who had just taken a break from school.
