"I only played the protagonist, Daigo Madoka, in Ultraman Tiga.
But I'm not the Ultraman Tiga who appeared in Huaxia today."
"I'm just an ordinary person. When I first learned that monsters had actually appeared in this world, my first reaction was fear—
Could humanity really fight against monsters? Could we protect this planet?"
"But later, when I saw Ultraman Tiga appear in this world as well, my heart calmed down a lot."
"Just like Daigo once said in Ultraman Tiga, everyone has the power to become light through their own strength.
Even though I'm just a normal person, I also want to be like Tiga—to protect this world."
"I want to become light, and fight together."
"And my wife has been with me all day today. When she saw the news about Ultraman Tiga appearing, she was also completely shocked as she looked at me."
"..."
Nagano spoke with a gentle smile during the interview, explaining his thoughts to the reporters.
At the end of the interview, Nagano even took out the Sparklence and performed Daigo's classic transformation pose right in front of everyone.
However, the dazzling transformation into light that everyone expected did not happen.
After finishing the iconic transformation motion, Nagano simply bent forward slightly and smiled at the crowd.
But after smiling, he seemed to show a trace of regret—perhaps because he couldn't really become light.
"Ah, Nagano—the actor who played Daigo. He really does look a lot like him," Yu Zhou muttered.
Having met Daigo in person before, Yu Zhou knew that while Nagano and Daigo shared the connection of actor and character, they weren't identical in every detail.
Still, their overall appearance was nearly the same.
Well, Yu Zhou had to admit—when it came to looks, he wasn't as handsome as Daigo.
As for that certain company, Yu Zhou had originally planned to buy it and improve the settings of Ultraman Tiga.
But after some thought, he realized that no matter how much he enhanced those settings now, he himself had already become Tiga.
It's like trying to change someone's genes after they've already been born—it's impossible.
If you altered Tiga's settings now, it would no longer be the same story.
So, adding new settings about Tiga didn't seem to have any real meaning anymore.
Of course, the appearance of Ultraman Tiga and the monsters had become far more than just a few news reports.
This event, which had shocked the entire world, had triggered massive changes in many areas.
For instance, Ultraman Tiga's TV series was now being broadcast on multiple TV channels at once—
even more popular than when it was first introduced years ago.
Every station's ratings were skyrocketing—something that had never happened before.
In addition, Ultraman Tiga merchandise had become the hottest-selling products of the moment.
Online sales in a single day reached billions.
Not only in Huaxia but across the entire continent—and the whole planet—people were passionately discussing the appearance of Ultraman and the monsters.
When Yu Zhou checked how the people overseas were reacting, he was momentarily speechless.
"Is it true that the 'Egg Superhero' and monsters appeared in Xia City, or just a rumour?"
"Monsters are appearing all over the world—does this mean the world is about to change dramatically?"
"Is the Egg Superhero friendly to humans?"
Yu Zhou couldn't help but laugh helplessly when he saw the phrase "Egg Superhero."
He remembered how, when he first watched Ultraman as a kid, he too saw subtitles like Egg Ultraman, Super Power Warrior, Giant Power Fighter, and other strange translations.
"Camearra, I think the real battle is coming soon," Yu Zhou said, setting down his phone and exhaling softly.
Camearra smiled gently, placing Yu Zhou's hand in hers.
"No matter what we face, I'll be with you."
For Camearra, nothing else mattered—
as long as she could stay with Yu Zhou, she needed nothing more.
"Camearra," Yu Zhou murmured as he stroked the back of her hand, gazing into her clear, beautiful eyes.
"I won't let you face any danger."
Camearra might not have understood everything, but Yu Zhou did.
The great catastrophe now unfolding wasn't limited to Golza and Melba.
Those two were merely the "vanguard of darkness."
Or rather, not even true vanguards—Yu Zhou believed that only beings like Zoiger truly deserved that title.
Though none of this was really a threat to him anymore, Yu Zhou still regarded Zoiger as a genuine dark herald.
Currently, he still possessed one reserve of Shining Power and one of Dark Power.
Whether those would be enough to survive the coming calamity… even he wasn't sure.
Camearra was powerful—though she had once been one of the ancient dark giants from 30 million years ago,
the baptism of the Plasma Spark had transformed her into a being of light.
But as the saying goes: "When darkness falls, strength multiplies fivefold; when purified, it weakens by three parts."
"So, if I had the power of the original Tiga himself," Yu Zhou sighed, "I wouldn't have to worry about these disasters."
He still felt that he wasn't strong enough.
After traveling through so many worlds, defeating Gatanozoa, fighting Belial, and clashing with all kinds of mighty enemies,
Yu Zhou had gone from a total novice to a seasoned veteran.
Yet even now, in the face of such overwhelming darkness, he still lacked confidence.
"And if the real Tiga ever finds out about what's going on between me and Camearra…"
Yu Zhou smiled awkwardly, rubbing his temple. "Yeah… that wouldn't end well."
He knew very clearly that he wasn't the real Tiga.
He was born in this world, raised in this world.
Before that little girl in the red dress appeared, he had always been just an ordinary human.
A completely normal high school student.
How could someone like that be the real Tiga?
Moreover, Camearra herself had told him—the real Tiga didn't even look like him.
"In any case," Yu Zhou muttered, "I'd better not run into the real Tiga. Otherwise, I'll probably get torn apart…"
If someone ever betrayed him, Yu Zhou knew he'd make sure that person wished they were dead.
After spending a quiet moment of warmth with Camearra, Yu Zhou got up and left the house.
Camearra stayed in bed, using her phone to learn more about this world.
As for language barriers, she had already mastered numerous human languages back in the world of Tiga and Dyna.
After all, with R'lyeh having become a global trade hub, learning languages was always useful.
And for Camearra, learning them was easy.
Her speed was astonishing—mastering a new language in just one month.
When Yu Zhou found out, his jaw practically hit the floor.
He himself had been struggling with Japanese for ages!
Camearra's learning speed was something to envy.
When Yu Zhou came downstairs to the living room, he found it crowded with people—
villagers, neighbours, all gathered together.
From their conversation, he realized they were asking about his father, who had personally seen the monsters and Ultraman in the city.
