To be honest, Yu Zhou didn't take the Evil God seriously at first.
With the ultra-ancient giant from thirty million years ago on his side, he felt that the Evil God was hardly a threat.
After all, in the original story, Camearra could absorb Gatanozoa's resentment, become Demonthor, and even stand against Shining Tiga.
But now…
Yu Zhou could only think of one saying:
"Dark ten times stronger, purified three times weaker."
If it were still a Dark Giant, perhaps Camearra could have fought Ythogtha alone.
Yu Zhou had transformed into Dark Tiga, and though he had gained significant strength this time, it was all due to absorbing dark energy from the black mist.
He did not possess the raw power to dominate like he once did in the Land of Light against Belial—back then, his darkness had been ten times stronger.
But that had only happened once. He never experienced such power again.
The gem given by Hikari still stored one last portion of dark energy.
Yu Zhou knew that releasing this energy would make him lose consciousness and go berserk.
So, he preferred not to touch it unless absolutely necessary.
The two of them still embraced on the beach. Everyone else gave them space, quietly enjoying the sea breeze nearby.
"You know," Horii spoke up, analysing, "Last time after Gatanozoa was defeated, Yu Zhou returned to his own world. Does that mean… after this Evil God is gone, he'll leave again?"
"Oh, right," Rena nodded, thinking it over. Indeed, Yu Zhou always left the world after resolving major events.
Would he disappear again, just like before?
"Yu Zhou-senpai? Back to his own world?" Dyna asked, confused. "What are you all talking about?"
"Oh, Yu Zhou didn't tell you?" Daigo spoke up. "The reason there are two Tigas is because Yu Zhou comes from another world."
"Another world?!"
Dyna was completely stunned. He had never heard of such a thing.
"A parallel universe," Masaki explained.
"Parallel universe…"
Dyna fell silent, deep in thought.
"Actually, I'm not the Ultraman Tiga of this world either," Daigo smiled. "I'm only using Tiga's body."
"Tiga's body???" Dyna snapped back to attention. "Then what about Yu Zhou-senpai?"
"To be honest, I don't know," Daigo admitted. "He's from another world."
As for Dyna's question, even Daigo couldn't clarify.
"Also, according to the ultra-ancient humans, Tiga has become light and returned to his home."
Daigo gazed at the starry sky.
"Never expected such a secret," Dyna thought, overwhelmed by the flood of information.
If Daigo-senpai only uses Tiga's body, then what about him? Dyna wondered.
Dyna's light, obtained while floating through space, wasn't from Earth's ancient warriors. Could it have come from another planet?
"Oh, by the way, senpais, are there Light Giants on other planets?"
Dyna decided to ask, hoping the seniors could provide some answers.
"Yes," Masaki nodded. "On the M78 Nebula, there's a planet inhabited by Light Giants, called the Land of Light."
Masaki admired the Land of Light, particularly the technology like the Plasma Spark, which could allow anyone to evolve into light.
The Plasma Spark, learned about in the Land of Light, became Masaki's research target.
"Land of Light?!"
Dyna's curiosity surged. Could his own light have come drifting from that distant land?
The thought made him flustered and bewildered.
Yu Zhou had researched and found that Dyna's light came from Dyna's father, provided to Dyna while in space.
In other words, Dyna's father is the source of Dyna's light.
Yu Zhou hadn't told Dyna this, thinking it unnecessary. It might make Dyna feel strange, as if he was using his father's power every time he transformed.
"I really want to explore the universe," Dyna said, gazing at the stars. "Travel, roam freely through space, be a wanderer."
"A wanderer?"
Yu Zhou, holding Camearra's hand, walked over and overheard Dyna.
"Yeah, Yu Zhou-senpai. I want to be a wanderer! To explore new things across the universe!"
Dyna was excited to see Yu Zhou. First, it was his and Camearra's hand-holding; second, he now understood Yu Zhou's true identity.
"No worries. I thought it was Kurenai Gai arriving," Yu Zhou waved his hand dismissively.
"Kurenai Gai? Who's that?" Dyna asked, curious.
Anyone Yu Zhou mentioned by name was no ordinary person.
"He's a younger junior than you," Yu Zhou explained. "A wanderer, plays the harmonica. You'll meet him eventually."
"Kurenai Gai…" Dyna silently noted the name.
Meeting Kurenai Gai wouldn't be a big deal.
In the future, as Dyna wandered through space, he would encounter the rookie Orb.
Yu Zhou remembered how strong Dyna was back then. One finger flick could send Barton, who earned Zoffy's title, flying. Incredible.
"By the way, if he ever asks to borrow your power, don't lend it. He won't return it."
Seeing Dyna taking note, Yu Zhou added.
"Understood, senpai," Dyna nodded. Kurenai Gai seemed like the type to never repay borrowed power.
Although Dyna didn't fully understand what "borrowing power" meant, following Yu Zhou's advice was safest.
"By the way, Yu Zhou-senpai, just now I heard you're going back to your world?"
Suddenly remembering the earlier discussion, Dyna asked Yu Zhou.
"Huh?" Yu Zhou was momentarily surprised, while Camearra held his hand tightly, staring.
"Not happening," Yu Zhou said, shrugging with a smile.
It seemed his pattern of leaving had been noticed.
