Chapter 8
So you wanted to stir up trouble, kid!
A Giant of Light? Ultraman Tiga, huh!
Did you pay the fucking licensing fee?
Messing around without paying the licensing fee was going to get you into trouble!
Didn't you know that wherever Tiga appeared, monsters would appear too?
Since you loved playing around so much, I would play along with you today!
Let's see whether your Tiga was the real deal!
Before this, Su Mo wouldn't have bothered with any of this, but he glanced at the time. It was already past ten.
Converted into the Microcosm's time, nine hundred years had already passed. There were only two hours until the world's destruction began, so tossing these things in now wouldn't be a problem.
He was just about to dump all the little creatures in the plastic bag inside at once, but after thinking it over, Su Mo stopped.
After all, these things were far too recognizable. If there were only natives in the Microcosm, it wouldn't have mattered, but there was now a transmigrator in there who had even created Tiga.
Ants, green caterpillars, dragonflies-this guy would probably recognize them as soon as they went in.
Even if their sizes were different, identifying them wouldn't be difficult, so he still needed to modify them.
As for how to modify them, Su Mo simply turned around and entered the Microcosm. This time, however, he didn't appear near that blue planet. After all, he already knew these fellows could launch satellites now. If he got too close, they would spot him.
Even if they spotted him, they couldn't do anything to him, but as a god-a creator god-he still needed to maintain a bit of mystique.
The green caterpillar, barely over three centimeters long in the real world, instantly became a gigantic monster over three thousand meters long upon entering the Microcosm.
With a wave of Su Mo's hand, a layer of rigid armor appeared over the green caterpillar's skin, encasing it tightly.
A row of terrifying fangs also sprouted from its enormous mouthparts.
The ants also became terrifying beasts a thousand meters long. Instead of crawling on six legs, they now walked on two, while their other four legs became enormous weapons.
The dragonfly, already large to begin with, reached a staggering ten thousand meters here. For this biggest boss, Su Mo first gave him a suit of armor, then made all six of his legs thicker and more flexible.
The four transparent wings on his back were all changed into fleshy wings like those of birds, and the tail behind him also became more flexible, looking just like a snake's tail.
Together with the armor covering his body, Su Mo's modifications made this dragonfly look like a terrifying four-winged demonic dragon!
Su Mo couldn't do something like this in the outside world, but it was very simple inside his own Microcosm.
Looking over his handiwork, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction. "Your Tiga is ready, and my monsters are ready too. Now let's see whether that knockoff Tiga of yours can take a beating!"
With that, Su Mo waved one hand at the little creatures, and the next moment, they appeared over the Three-Eyed Tribe's wounds.
Su Mo turned around and appeared on his bed once again.
Watching the show was more comfortable lying down.
The terrifying monsters that suddenly appeared in the sky instantly sent all the Three-Eyed People into a panic.
Liu Dajun was also dumbstruck on the spot when he saw them.
When Ultra V first said he wanted to build Giants of Light, Liu Dajun hadn't thought much of it. But when he heard that the Eye of Ultra would also be added to the Giants of Light's bodies, the image of Tiga suddenly popped into his mind for some reason.
Combined with the current situation and the people before him-Ultra V, Zoffy, and Original Ultraman, whose names might have been coincidences or might have had some other explanation-
And the Giants of Light, it just wouldn't feel right to him if he didn't create a Tiga.
Although he seemed to remember seeing people online say that wherever Tiga appeared, monsters would definitely appear too.
Uh, it seemed to be that wherever monsters appeared, Tiga would appear. Anyway, that was roughly the idea.
But this wasn't a novel. How could anything that ridiculous happen?
If monsters appeared just because he created Tiga, he would eat that monster!
And so, by volunteering, he finally secured the job of designing the Giants of Light's appearance.
When Ultra V first gave Liu Dajun this job, he even instructed Zoffy to stay beside him and provide plenty of guidance.
After all, Liu Dajun came from another civilization. Their two civilizations might have vastly different aesthetics. If he created an appearance that nobody could accept and presented it to Ultra V, things would be very awkward.
But after seeing the design Liu Dajun produced, named Ultraman Tiga, Ultra V was immediately drawn to its appearance.
The name was also very much to his taste. The Three-Eyed Tribe's royal family had always been the Ultra Clan, and the fact that the earlier satellite was called the Eye of Ultra showed that Ultra V was also someone who cared quite a bit about prestige.
Although he didn't understand why "man" had been added after "Aote," it was something created by someone from another civilization, after all. It was perfectly understandable that he wouldn't understand some of it.
Since the design suited his tastes so well, there was no need to dwell on that final little flaw.
And so, after more than a hundred years, five Ultraman Tigas were finally built.
Because the appearance was so good, Ultra V even ordered the original Giant of Light's appearance to be changed.
As for the original plan to build seven Giants of Light, at their rate of building four Giants of Light in these hundred years, there was more than enough time.
They had even already planned to build the final two Giants of Light within fifty years.
Then they would spend thirty years testing the underwater fortresses. In the final twenty years, all the Three-Eyed People would enter the fortresses ahead of time and activate them, waiting for the world-destroying flood to arrive!
Yet their vision was beautiful, and reality was cruel.
On this day, five monsters descended from the sky!
Their enormous bodies even plunged nearly half the planet into darkness.
The ordinary members of the Three-Eyed Tribe were terrified.
Ultra V and the other leaders asked one another what these things were, how they had appeared, and why such things existed.
Only Liu Dajun stood there in a complete daze.
Monsters!
How could there be monsters!
Why was this happening!
Could it really be just like those people online said-that wherever Tiga appeared, monsters would appear too?
But why did it have to be now!
In another hundred years, the world-destroying crisis would arrive. If anything happened to these Tigas, wouldn't I become a sinner against this entire civilization?
He had been in this world for over a hundred years, longer than he had lived on Earth. He had even married and had children here.
If this world was destroyed too, he would certainly die as well.
Even if he didn't die and returned to his original world, he didn't know whether he could still adjust to that kind of life.
Although he had been considered middle class on Earth and owned substantial assets, he had already spent more than a hundred years in this world!
Under normal circumstances, Liu Dajun shouldn't have been present in the Ultra Empire's highest laboratory.
After all, Liu Dajun came from another civilization, and the others were afraid he might cause trouble. Yet it was also because he came from another civilization that Ultra V and the others had always kept him by their side.
But in the time that followed, Liu Dajun had always behaved himself. He had even told them stories about Earth's civilization and offered many inspirational words to encourage them.
On top of that, Ultra V liked the Ultraman Tiga design very much, so Liu Dajun naturally entered the Ultra Empire's inner circle of leadership.
At this moment, everyone was discussing what to do, but Liu Dajun alone remained motionless in a daze. His behavior naturally caught the others' attention.
Zoffy came up to Liu Dajun and patted his shoulder. "Liu Dajun, what's wrong?"
Liu Dajun shook his head. Over the past hundred years, he had learned the language here and no longer needed a mental link to communicate, so naturally, the others hadn't discovered his inner thoughts.
Liu Dajun didn't speak.
The others immediately came over too. Seeing the expression on Liu Dajun's face, Original Ultraman also felt that something was wrong and asked outright, "What's going on, Liu Dajun? You recognize these monsters!"
Liu Dajun shook his head. "Not exactly, but I do have a rough idea."
Hearing this, Ultra V asked even more urgently, "What do you mean, not exactly, but you have a rough idea!"
