Ultraman Dimensional Battle Beyond Time and Space! (3)

In that instant, both Xiaoguang and Xing felt a deep sense of despair.

How am I supposed to fight this? Are we supposed to fight it with our heads? One enemy can knock us back to our stone statues, and two of them together... I'm already in critical condition! Even a General Trigger wouldn't dare attempt this dungeon!

Oh, I'm General Trigger now, so it's fine... what a load of rubbish!

In a moment of surprise, Megaloza launched the first attack, extending countless tentacles to rain down on Dark Trigger. Dark Trigger, lacking energy, couldn't dodge in time and was bent over by the machine-gun-like barrage. But that wasn't all. After the tentacles finished their attack, they bound him up. Of course, this wasn't for tentacle play; Megaloza pulled Dark Trigger in front of her and unleashed a powerful burst of dark golden lightning from her horns and hands, giving Dark Trigger a free electrocution treatment.

The timer started flashing rapidly. In the consciousness space, the appearance of Ultraman Triga changed. Xiaoguang hugged his temporary human form in his human form. "Thank you, little sister whose name I don't even know yet. It was both pleasant and exciting to work with you, but I'm afraid it has to end here... Don't worry, you won't die with me."

The young man spoke gently and calmly, showing no sign of someone facing death. "From the moment I inherited the light of my ancestors, I knew that this day would come sooner or later, but I never expected it to be now."

"Hey, what are you saying?" Sachi interrupted his last words abruptly, piecing together the Dark Trigger Key of Over and the Trigger Composite Key. "Wait a minute, let's make a Truth and keep fighting... Eh, why can't I make one?"

Xiaoguang patted her head helplessly. "Little sister, although we've only worked together for a short time, you're a very good human form. Goodbye. Don't be so rough in the future, or you'll never get married."

"I will never get married in my life!"

The young man's eyes were filled with reluctance, determination, and composure. He wanted to try one more time, but found that the Hyper Spark Prism in his hand was gradually turning to stone.

Seemingly having had enough fun, Megaloza threw Dark Trigger into the air. On the other side, Gatanothor shot out a dark purple beam of light from its mouth, piercing through Dark Trigger's body. Xiaoguang recognized this move; in his world, it was this very attack that turned his ancestor into a stone statue.

Dark Trigger's body gradually turned to stone and sank into the sea.

The transformation ends in 6 minutes.

Timer status: Off (insufficient energy)

He wanted to send the merged girl out, but found that he didn't have enough energy. With a wry smile, he chose to seal her inside his body, using his last bit of energy to protect her from the surrounding darkness.

"Even if you send me away, those two next to me will kill me..."

In the space of consciousness, the girl looked at the petrified Spark Prism and the Key of Over in her hand with a bitter expression.

Xiaoguang lowered his head and clenched his fists. "As expected, compared to my ancestors, I'm still too weak. No matter what, I can never be like Ultraman Tiga..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Xing angrily flicked him on the forehead. "Who says you have to be your own senior?"

"Well, it's only natural for later generations to admire the heroes of their ancestors, isn't it?"

"That's certainly true, but!" Xing pressed down on his shoulder and took a deep breath.

Good heavens, I'm Kamen Rider, why am I giving Ultraman psychological counseling?

"Your name is Triga, not Tiga! Even if you took that form because of your longing and yearning for Tiga, it doesn't determine what you will become!"

"In my world, Ultraman Trigger was created because the children who loved Tiga back then still yearned for that light after growing up. Even though it may not be an excellent work, but!"

"The image of Ultraman Trigger in my heart is that of a hero who is not afraid of hardship, who will not back down even when his body is covered in wounds, who fights bravely and never loses his way! Not a so-called replacement for Tiga!"

Xiaoguang stared blankly at her, momentarily at a loss for words. After a long pause, he suddenly laughed, "Ha, to be lectured by a kid so much younger than me... But, can we really win?"

"You mean to say we can't win?" Xing thought for a moment and then took out something that made Xiaoguang's pupils shrink.

"... A Tiga doll?" The girl took Xiaoguang's trembling hand and placed the doll in his palm. "He was asked this question too, but he didn't understand it~"

"Yes, how desperate our ancestor must have been, yet he still chose to fight!" Xiaoguang gripped the doll tightly, then released it. "Our ancestor won because of the light that people gave him. Where...where can we find that light?"

Fortunately, he didn't say anything, but simply pointed to his chest.

"In your heart?"

"Everyone can become light with their own power, can't they?" the girl said with a smile. "Is it a fight to the death, risking our last lives, or waiting for a glimmer of hope in the boundless darkness?"

Xiaoguang didn't speak, but simply held her hand. A bright light burst forth from their tightly clasped hands, and the Spark Prism and the Key of Over were freed from their petrified state.

"If we transform again, the Polymerization between us won't be easily broken... If we lose, we might be forever trapped in the abyss of darkness."

"Wait a minute!" Sachi interrupted him, pointing to the still petrified Dark Trigger Key of Over, "Why don't we use this together?"

"... Is it necessary to use the power of darkness? If one arbitrarily vents the darkness within, what's the difference between them and a monster?"

"Are you suffering from some kind of cognitive impairment?!" Xing slapped him without any regard for whether he was Ultraman or not. "Even monsters can coexist with humans. Apologize to good monsters like Pigmon!"

"Forehead..."

"And another thing! This is clearly one of your powers, so why don't you use it? Does a good person become a bad person just by putting on black clothes, or a bad person become a good person just by dressing up in gold and glitter?!"

Xiaoguang remained silent. His resistance to the dark form stemmed not only from the distinction between light and darkness, but more from the origin of this form.

That memory was the one he least wanted to recall.

"... Perhaps there are some sad memories behind this form, but if you are trapped in the swamp called the 'past,' you cannot walk the path called the 'future.'" Noticing the change in Xiaoguang's subtle expression, Xing's tone softened from intense.

"What do you know?! Don't lecture me with that self-righteous tone that says you know everything!" Xiaoguang grabbed her shoulders excitedly, as if he had been hit where it hurt, "Do you know what kind of battles I've been through on my planet?"

"Monsters appeared one after another, and I transformed to destroy them. But one day I discovered that those monsters were actually ordinary people who had undergone human experimentation! Even worse, without my knowledge, I personally killed my friend..."

Xiaoguang's voice grew softer and softer until she finally buried her head in Xing's shoulder, her tears soaking the straps of the girl's nightgown.

"Do you understand the despair of watching your best friend die in your arms, and being powerless to do anything about it?!"

The girl's lips trembled, her emotions reaching their peak. She pushed Xiaoguang away and slapped him hard across the face. "Of course I understand!!!"

A burning sensation spread across his face. Xiaoguang was about to argue with her when he saw two streams of tears flow from the girl's eyes. She choked out, "Do you think you're the only one who's had this experience?"

"I also bear a certain mission: to defeat monsters, to collect their power for my own combat, until one day..."

Fortunately, there was no need to continue, as Xiaoguang already understood.

He closed his eyes, his mind replaying all the battles he had fought since transforming into Triga. Finally, he opened his eyes, filled with high fighting spirit.

"You're right, little sister. I was too hesitant. Come, Polymerization completely with me, and together... unleash the full power of light and darkness!"

The petrified layer of the Dark Trigger Key of Over shattered in response, and powerful Power of Darkness surged out from it. This time, Xiaoguang did not run away. He held the Power of Darkness in one hand and the light energy in the other, and Polymerization them together.

Thanks to Xing's addition, Xiaoguang was finally able to use the power of light and darkness within him simultaneously. The four Key of Over stored all the power of his original body Polymerization together to form a brand new Key of Over, which was comparable in appearance to the Eternal Shining Form.

Just as Xing said, Xiaoguang finally understood at this moment: since everyone has light and darkness in their hearts, why should he resist this power? What's wrong with using them in battle?

The two exchanged a knowing glance. Xiaoguang's body decomposed into light particles, which flowed into the girl's body, forming a light curtain on her surface resembling that of Triga.

PS: Referring to the appearance of Geed and Trigger's human forms during their battles, to put it simply, what changes occur to the earth when X unleashes his ultimate attack?

Now, the two have completely Polymerization, and if they lose in battle, they will truly die.

Fortunately, the Truth Trigger Key was activated and inserted into the Spark Prism, and a sound effect was heard:

Trigger Truth!

'Boot Up! Truth Zeperion!'

"Light and darkness intertwine, guarding the truth!" Sachi and Xiaoguang shouted the impromptu line together, raised the Spark Prism, pulled the trigger, and together cried out that name—

"Ultraman Trigger!"

In the pitch-black sea, a dazzling golden light illuminated the darkness, only to be replaced by it. The newly born Triga flew out of the sea and landed in front of two evil god monsters from different timelines, assuming his usual fighting stance.

"Ga!"

Ultraman Trigger Truth Mode, reporting for duty!

The battle begins 7 minutes after the transformation!

Its appearance is identical to that of the Triga Composite Form, but the black patterns covering its entire body add a touch of sinister and domineering aura.

Simply put, he's fucking awesome!

"What's going on? They're using light and darkness together?!" Megaloza, dominated by Carmilla's consciousness, roared and attacked him first.

But this time, Triga won't let her do as she pleases.

" (ちから) をhold (も) ったmeans (いみ) をquest (もと) めて

Seeking the true meaning of power

(たたか) う (ため) のREASON (りゆう) を (さが) した

Seeking the Reasons for Battle

それぞれに (ゆめ) (み) た

The Future Everyone Dreams

Future (みらい) は servant (ぼく) らをhoo (よ) ぶ

It is calling us

Netsuke (ねず) く (はな) のような

Enlightenment is like a flower rooted in the ground.

We swear to each other.

(To avoid accusations of padding the word count, I will only release the beginning or end of the background music from now on; you'll have to fill in the rest in your imagination.)

Trigger's theme song "Trigger" echoes across the battlefield. The human host, Miss Trigger, sings her heart out while fighting alongside Xiaoguang. Is there any human host better than her?

Constantly dodging and skillfully maneuvering to avoid the tentacles of the two evil gods, Triga's eyes narrowed. He performed a backflip to dodge Megaloza's lightning bolts, then pushed off with both feet in mid-air, assuming a knight's kick stance.

Truth Trigger Power Aerial Kick!

With a heavy kick to Megaloza's face, the enormous impact knocked down its massive body. After landing the kick, Truth Trigger did not stop attacking, but instead threw a golden halo with black embellishments backward, severing Gatanothor's outstretched tentacles.

The Truth Light Wheel!

"Um, do we really have to give names to these moves?"

"Shut up, you idiot who plays a mage like a warrior! You're dumber than your ancestors!"

In the dark room, Sachi suddenly realized that after sacrificing all the normal Key of Over, the belt on her waist that stored the Key of Over should have been empty, but it was now filled with three Key of Over of different colors.

"Why didn't you say so sooner that you had Tiga's Key?"

"You didn't ask!"

"Holy crap! They even have a Shining Form! Why didn't you use it just now?"

"I forgot..."

Speechless at this Tokusatsu Machine, he decisively filled it with the Key of Over of the Tiga Power Type, and his fists ignited with scorching explosive power.

Double Truth Deracium Beam Stream!

A stream of red light, interwoven with gold and darkness, shot out from Triga's hands. While using Tiga's power, he also used his corresponding move. The power of the Tiga's True Form, doubled by the Deracium Beam Stream, exploded out and hit Gatanothor's outstretched pincers head-on. The power was so great that it destroyed the pincers directly. Gatanothor roared in pain and retracted all its tentacles and the other pincers back into its shell.

Without worrying about Gatanothor's sneak attack for the time being, Truth Trigger could safely ride on Megaloza's head and unleash a barrage of attacks.

Truth Heavy Punch!

"Trikia..." Carmilla's voice, filled with intense hatred, rang out, but Triga remained unmoved and increased the speed of his punches.

Truth Consecutive Heavy Punch!

"Girl, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not your boyfriend, I just look like him, Ora Ora Ora!"

Imbuing his fists with the Power of Darkness, each punch unleashed a halo of black on the outside and gold on the inside, piercing through Megaloza's defenses and causing substantial damage. Enraged, Megaloza unleashed lightning bolts of gold on the outside and black on the inside from her horns, attempting to force him back, but she seemed to have forgotten something...

With lightning speed, Trica used his palm as a knife to strike the two horns.

Truth Trigger Hand Knife... So hard!

Fortunately, he took out the Ring Arm and the Eternal Blade and activated Dual Wielding, simultaneously unlocking the skills of both weapons.

The Truth Zeperion Sword Finish! The Truth Power Photon!

At the same time, Megaloza's accumulated lightning was unleashed, and both of their skills hit each other, triggering a series of explosions.

Triga's body flew out of the rising smoke, while his two long horns fell into the sea at the same time. Megaloza, with his horns severed, angrily broke through the smoke and attacked him, determined to tear him to pieces to vent his hatred.

Xiaoguang gave it a thumbs up, saying, "Well done! You've truly inherited the essence of my ancestor, Daigo Madoka!"

Triga quickly steadied himself and retreated instead of advancing. Just as he was about to continue his fierce battle with Megaloza, he suddenly felt a sense of danger from behind. Triga quickly turned around to defend himself, and a dark purple beam of light rushed straight at his face. It was the same attack that had turned him into a stone statue earlier!

Holy crap, even Gatanothor is the sixth man these days?

In the critical moment, Triga drew circles with both hands, forming a yin-yang symbol in front of him. The purple rays filled with dark energy disappeared into the yin-yang symbol like fish entering the sea. Gatanothor, Megaloza, and Xiaoguang were all dumbfounded. What kind of operation was this?

"It's simple. Since I have dark power within me, and they use dark power too—" Sachi gritted his teeth and converted Gatanothor's rays into his own Power of Darkness. "There's no reason why I can't use their power to strengthen myself!"

Truth Trigger Absorbs!

After absorbing the attack, Triga quickly turned around and changed his hand gesture, arranging his arms into an L-shape. The destructive beam, red on the outside and yellow on the inside, poured towards Megaloza like a flood.

The Shining Dark Zeperion Ray!

Having absorbed Gatanothor's dark power, the charging process was eliminated, and he was fortunate enough to choose a skill that could be used instantly under these conditions: the Dark Zeperion Ray. At the same time, he infused it with the power of the Eternal Core, which increased its destructive power by dozens of times.

Xiaoguang fell into deep thought. This human form was so powerful and beautiful; he was starting to feel a little tempted...

Megaloza screamed in agony from the powerful blow. Triga did not show any mercy. Instead, he stepped forward, swung his arms wildly, gathered a large amount of Power of Darkness, returned it to the timer, and then transferred it to his right fist, releasing a golden-red spiral shockwave that dealt another heavy blow to Megaroghe.

Truth Burst!

Gathering Power of Darkness at the timer once more and transferring it to his feet, Triga leaped into the air and delivered a powerful spinning kick to Megaloza's side, unleashing the same shockwave once more.

Truth Destruction!

"Finally, Megaloza, no, Carmilla! May there be a Triga in that world who loves you!"

Triga leaped behind Megaloza, taking advantage of the moment when Megalogeor was too injured to move and Gatanothor was unable to attack him directly while using Megalogeor as cover. He then tucked his arms in front of his chest, drawing a tangent line of light and darkness.

Triga quickly repeated the movement three times, then swung his arms into an L-shape, tripled his power—

The Truth Zeperion Ray!

A golden ray mixed with a red halo shot out from the giant's arm, piercing through Megaloza's body and completely destroying its massive form. In the darkness, Sachi and Xiaoguang heard a female voice thanking them.

The transformation ends in 7 minutes.

Head: Megaloza

Timer status: Blue (energy running low)

The beam of light continued its relentless advance, destroying Megaloza and then firing at Gatanothor. Gatangeor responded in kind, unleashing a purple beam of light. The two mortal enemies locked in a stalemate in mid-air, each increasing their power to see who would give out first.

Ding dong ding dong ding dong...

Just as Triga's opening theme ended, a heavy, flickering sound rang out on the giant's chest, and the blue diamond-shaped crystal turned red once more.

As the light from their side was slowly pushed back, Xing, who was anxiously waiting in the transformation space, suddenly found that her body was moving uncontrollably.

Xiaoguang's consciousness controlled Xing to take out a golden Key of Over and insert it into the Victory Spark Prism. "It's not over yet! The real battle has only just begun! Lend me your power, Ancestor Daigo Madoka!"

A dazzling light rose behind Triga, and a magnificent figure emerged from it, with his back to the man and the monster.

He slowly turned his head, revealing a milky-white profile, golden shoulder armor, a crystal on his forehead, and a deep blue Color Timer on his chest...

I wait, hoping that you will once again become light and descend before me.

Long time no see – Ultraman Tiga

"Ga!"

Tiga's phantom merged into Triga's body, and he roared as his body began to glow. Although the timer was still flashing, his aura instantly surged several times over and continued to grow stronger.

Truth Trigger Shining Form!

The Truth Zeperion Ray also grew stronger, forcefully pushing Gatanothor's rays back, deflecting them all onto its snail shell and creating a series of sparks, but still failing to break through its defenses.

The road ahead lies beneath our feet.

Don't be sad, don't be afraid.

Full of confidence and looking forward to tomorrow

A new storm has emerged.

How can we stand still?

Traveling through time and space with all our might

I will come to your side.

As the Chinese opening theme of Ultraman Tiga played, the glorious warrior broke through the black mist, drawing a powerful force from the energy timer. Light and darkness coexisted within him, transforming into a dazzling stream of light that blasted towards Gatanothor.

The Truth Timer Flash!

Bang!!!

A roar louder than thunder drowned out all other sounds. Gatanothor's outer armor crumbled under the blow, and his body gradually Honkai.

The dark clouds dispersed, and sunlight streamed down, falling on Triga.

The Shining Form had dissipated, and the timer on his chest, flashing red for the third time today, was urgently reminding him that time was running out. Just as Triga wearily stretched his limbs, preparing to fly away safely—

"Stop right there!"

Suddenly, a voice that sounded rather unintelligent appeared, and a golden giant with bull horns rushed out from nowhere, punching the severely wounded Triga and forcibly pushing him into a portal opened by a golden giant who looked exactly like him.

"Diabolo!" Xiaoguang's angry voice rang in Xing's mind. She blinked in confusion. What pineapple? Can it delete time?

Note: Due to the release date, I unfortunately did not watch those seasons of Ultraman Ginga Fight.

"Hurry! While we still have energy, let's fight this guy. At least we should cut off his horns again!" Xiaoguang clearly had a grudge against Diabolo and frantically urged Xing to make a move.

Fortunately, he didn't stop moving. After being ambushed by Little Golden Bull, he quickly reacted. Although he was unable to escape before being pushed into the portal due to insufficient energy, he still managed to push Little Golden Bull away after being sent to their hometown.

Transforming Strength —

Just as Triga was about to charge at Diabolo with his Cun Xin Fist Style, Diablo's body disintegrated into particles of light, and the once towering Giant of Light turned into a petite Earth girl.

The transformation ends in 9 minutes.

Head: Gatanothor.

Timer status: Insufficient energy forces transformation to cancel.

The attack was so urgent that Xing was only wearing a nightgown. Exhausted, she collapsed onto the cold ground. She barely managed to lift her head and glared at the two golden figures. Damn it, do they all like to come out and finish her off when she's low on health?

"Exactly, if we weren't running out of energy, we would have cut off his horns at least..." Xiaoguang said with great regret.

"Stop thinking about your role! What are we going to do now?!"

Just as Diabolo raised his big, smelly cow hoof to crush the weak Earthling into mincemeat, a loud crash came from outside the palace. Ultraman with two darts on his head and red, blue, and silver patterns on his body, and another Ultraman with a pitch-black body and a ferocious face, smashed through the wall and entered.

"Zero Concentrated Ray!"

"Deathcium Ray!"

The Taurus, who was about to step forward to take down these two bastards who dared to cause trouble here, was bewildered. Unfortunately, he ended up standing right in the middle of their confrontation, and then... nothing happened.

Clang! The two smoking bull horns fell to the ground. Tartarus, the Alien Empera, sighed helplessly, took out a beautifully crafted heart, and revived him. "That idiot has wasted another life..."

Xiaoguang exclaimed excitedly, "Great job, Senior Zero!"

Sensing a similar aura nearby, Young Zero spared a glance and spotted a faint Earth girl. Using his Ultra Telekinesis, he realized she was on the verge of death and, without hesitation, switched to Moon Miracle Type and teleported to her side. He grabbed her and placed her into the Color Timer on his chest.

Although Young Zero's actions seem rough and could easily crush Sachi, Ultraman has a bio-field that can completely offset the damage they might cause when rescuing small creatures like humans, and can even stand on the water with it.

"Oh, miss, hello there. Don't be afraid, I'm currently performing an emergency One Body Fusion with you to stabilize your life... What's going on?!"

Young Zero felt that the degree of Polymerization between himself and this Earth girl was rapidly and uncontrollably increasing. In a daze, he found that he had lost control of his body and could only watch the girl control his body to fight from a third-person perspective.

Xiaoguang, who was forced to come to the audience with Young Zero, silently handed him a box of popcorn. Even the senior did this, so it seems that this little sister is special.

Young Zero's enormous body disintegrated, shrinking into the girl who had just Polymerization with him. She glanced at the Ultimate Bracelet on her wrist, touched it with some emotion, then looked at the puzzled Belial and chuckled. With a flick of her smooth, white arm, the Neo Zero Glasses spun out from the gem in the Ultimate Bracelet.

A stream of interwoven red and blue light enveloped her body, two head crests piercing her head, and she landed on the ground after reaching her Megamorph. Unfortunately, the floor in Alien Empera's house was of such high quality that nothing splashed up.

A pair of sharp ice axes atop his head, piercing golden eyes, a solar panel inherited from his father on his chest, a robust body combining the strength of both the red and blue races, Ultimate Bracelet formed from the Shield of Baraji on his wrist, and that unruly face that looks like a villain...

Ultraman Zero in his normal state, here I come!

Zero stood up, glanced down at his body, excitedly licked his lips, and then assumed his fighting stance towards Belial.

Transformation begins in 10 minutes!

(The time spent replacing the Tokusatsu Machine is negligible.)

Author's Note—

I was supposed to stop here in yesterday's chapter, but these two chapters together are almost 14,000 words long. Last night, I had a premonition of this situation and decided to write a short chapter.

Ahem, let me tell you something embarrassing in secret. When I was typing, I was visualizing the scene in my mind while typing, and then, when I was writing about Triga summoning the Tiga Phantom using the Shining Tiga Key, and the phantom looking back...

I cried, I don't know why, even now when I think back on it, tears still flow uncontrollably.

It might be meaningless self-indulgence, but, how to put it... it's a mix of emotions. I really hope that, in my lifetime, I can see Daigo, played by Hiroshi Nagano, appear on screen again, once again wielding his sparkler, becoming that glorious person who provided us with wonderful memories of our childhood. At that time, I can let my tears flow freely in front of the screen and say with complete satisfaction:

"Tiga, it's been a long time."

Cough cough, why are you crying again? Okay, wipe away your tears, next up is Young Zero's special!

PS: Young Zero himself commented that when he controlled him in battle, he had quite a bit of his youthful charm.

Get ready for the love-hate relationship between Young Zero and Belial in all their forms! Also, look forward to the upcoming appearances of Ultraman and monsters!

Let's party, Ultraman fans! Don't hold back here. This is Silly Loli's impromptu prank, so don't worry about anything!
