Shyla

Takuma admitted he had already died. Once his lingering attachment faded, he could no longer remain in the human world. After confessing his love to Mayumi and saying goodbye, he left her the pendant he always wore as a keepsake, then dissolved into mist and vanished completely.

Watching her beloved disappear before her eyes, Mayumi broke down in tears and collapsed to the ground.

Shinjo hurried over and held his sobbing sister tight. "Let it all out. Your brother's right here with you."

Daigo thought, Even death can't erase the desire to protect the one you love.

Horii said, "The human soul is made of plasma. Longing can bring souls together across the divide between life and death."

The story struck a chord with countless women across the continent of romance.

Spirit City.

After watching the Sky Curtain, Bibi Dong returned to her quarters. Her slender fingertips gently stroked the old token of love in her palm.

She lowered her gaze, long lashes hiding the obsessive longing surging in her eyes. "Xiaogang... if you died one day, would your soul cross the divide between life and death, like Takuma's, just to see me?"

The scenes she had just witnessed replayed in her mind: the remnants of human souls carried by Lizardon, and now the dead appearing through Gasort's plasma energy, sustained by their lingering attachments.

At the thought, an obsessive, feverish light flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. A sickly smile slowly spread across her lips. "What if... I mastered that power too?"

"Could I trap your soul with my own hands and keep what remains of it by my side forever?"

"Then, no matter how many lifetimes pass or how the years change, Xiaogang... you would belong to me, and me alone. You could never leave again."

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy a thousand miles away.

Yu Xiaogang was sitting deep in thought, planning his next moves, when several loud sneezes burst out of him without warning. He shuddered.

He rubbed his nose and muttered, "Little San must be thinking of me! As expected of my fine student. He keeps his teacher in his thoughts at all times. How considerate!"

"Once Little San returns with Tang Chen and Tang Hao, they'll crush the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in one stroke. Then its resources can help Little San grow stronger."

Over the following days, the Sky Curtain continued its broadcasts.

In "The Awakened Demon God," Shunagoni and Iida Keiryu showed the people of Douluo Continent that not everyone in the Ultraman Tiga World was an ordinary person without fighting strength.

In a world without a supernatural cultivation system, Iida Keiryu had found his own path and trained until he could slay monsters. That inspired many on Douluo Star to explore new ways to cultivate.

Many Soul Masters with weapon-type Martial Souls began following Iida Keiryu's example, spending more time honing their martial skills.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin was the first to gain insight. He had been badly wounded in his battle with Tang Hao.

The fight had given him fresh insights after years without a life-or-death battle.

After watching Su He's altered version of Iida Keiryu's battle against Shunagoni, he entered a state of enlightenment.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong and the others could only wait at a branch of the Seven Treasure Trading Company for Chen Xin to awaken.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing began studying the Digivices in their hands.

But after much effort, they could only catch fragments of messages coming from the devices.

Digital monsters? Darkness? Devouring? Salvation?

As time passed, the voices from the Digivices grew clearer, as though the signal was slowly improving.

Five days later, Sword Douluo Chen Xin emerged from seclusion. His cultivation was still at level 96, but his entire presence had changed.

"Deban Appears"

The "Happy Friends" troupe showed humans and the little monster Deban living in harmony, and Deban ultimately sacrificed himself to help them.

Many viewers began to see Soul Beasts in Deban. The relationship between humans and Soul Beasts was starting to change.

"The Rainbow Monster Realm"

The silver dragon Silvergon appeared.

An off-road vehicle and GUTS's Sherlock drove into a rainbow dreamscape created by Silvergon.

When Silvergon appeared, the Soul Beasts beside Life Lake in the Star Dou Great Forest quietly turned their eyes toward Gu Yuena.

Could their Silver Dragon King beat Silvergon, the silver dragon from the Ultraman Tiga World?

A few minutes later, the Soul Beasts who had wondered that had their answer.

Silvergon could fight Tiga to a standstill and even seemed to have the upper hand.

Their Silver Dragon King was powerful, but she was injured right now. She certainly could not beat Silvergon.

Even uninjured, she probably could not win.

Still, if Gu Yuena remained in her smaller form, her size and speed would make it hard for the lumbering Silvergon to defeat her.

Most likely, neither could do much to the other.

Gu Yuena's expression did not change throughout. She simply watched the Sky Curtain in silence.

The MVP of this challenge was a familiar face: Ning Fengzhi, master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He was sharp enough to anticipate Tiga's move. When Tiga fired the Zeperion Beam, Ning Fengzhi used the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's ability to boost anyone regardless of level, instantly giving Tiga an 80% attack buff. With that, Tiga destroyed Silvergon in one blow.

But even that momentary boost drained Ning Fengzhi's Soul Power completely and killed him.

He clearly dared to do it only because he could not truly die inside the challenge. He was also lucky to get the timing just right.

Still, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was undeniably powerful.

Even in Douluo Four, when the level cap for Soul Masters on Douluo Continent had risen to 120, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which could only reach level 79,

remained a T1 support Martial Soul. The Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda was still the strongest support Martial Soul of all.

A few minutes later, Ning Fengzhi looked at the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda in his hand and burst out laughing.

"The Devil's Judgment"

Su He combined the two Kyrieloid episodes into one.

In the story, Tiga easily defeated the first-generation Kyrieloid.

The Kyrieloids had lived on Earth for who knew how long, so they knew an Ultraman would not interfere with humanity's decisions. They pretended to be angels to incite people to drive Tiga away. But Daigo was not simply an Ultraman.

The giant second-generation Kyrieloid was formed from hundreds of Kyrieloids.

Its strength was staggering. It was the strongest enemy Tiga had faced, and Tiga suffered severe injuries before defeating it.

Their battle destroyed everything for dozens of kilometers around.

"The Siege of Zelga Center"

Twenty years earlier, Dr. Masachika Nezu had been researching a high-energy substance called Zelganoid Gas when a leak caused his home to explode. His daughter, Asami, tragically died.

Shyla, the little parrot Asami had cherished most, survived because she threw him out the window with all her strength during the explosion. But exposure to Zelganoid Gas mutated him. For twenty years, Shyla slept inside a volcano, never forgetting his hatred of the gas or his longing for his owner.

Twenty years later, when Zelganoid Gas was transferred to TPC's Zelga Center, its familiar, deadly presence finally woke Shyla.

To settle what had haunted him for so many years, Shyla raced straight toward Zelga Center.

To GUTS, the giant bird that had appeared out of nowhere was clearly a vicious monster intent on attacking a military facility. A fierce battle broke out.

When Daigo, transformed into Tiga, realized Shyla meant no harm, Dr. Nezu finally understood: the bird was Shyla, Asami's most treasured companion. Shyla had not come to destroy the center. He wanted to help Dr. Nezu dispose of the Zelganoid Gas that had taken Asami's life.

For his owner, and for everything they had lost, he wanted to put the past to rest.

Once he understood, Dr. Nezu opened the container of Zelganoid Gas in the final moments of his life.

Shyla used the last of his strength to swallow all the deadly gas. He tried to carry it into space in his broken body, taking the source of so much destruction away from Earth, away from the home Dr. Nezu and Asami had shared, and finally ending a tragedy that had lasted twenty years.

But Shyla was dying. He could no longer fly.
