Wait—what?! You can do that???
That was the collective thought running through the minds of all the world leaders after hearing the Huaxia representative's words.
This move… was just too outrageous!
If you can't win—then just buff the hero on the spot!
"You people have screenwriters among you, don't you? Give them paper and pen—write it right now!"
"Make Tiga strong enough to save us all!"
The Huaxia representative's imagination went wild, unleashing a flood of bold ideas to solve the global crisis through sheer creativity.
"I'll try!"
The chief writer for Ultraman Tiga at M Company, Kazuo Tsuburaya, was stunned at first—then inspired.
Maybe… just maybe… this could actually save the Earth. Save all of humanity!
He grabbed a pen and paper, and right there, in front of everyone's eyes, began writing the new script.
No Space Needle? Then he'd give Tiga one!
Insufficient energy? Then—infinite energy!
Not impressive enough? Then make him the strongest light in the entire universe!
Needs the light of countless hopes to shine? Then—make him shine by will alone!
In short, to save the real world, M Company throw all reason out the window.
Anything that made Tiga stronger—they wrote it in.
After all, the power of an Ultraman is based on willpower.
Or rather—based on the screenwriter's willpower.
Yu Zhou, of course, had no idea this meeting was even happening.
He didn't know that the nations of the world and M Company had started pulling such ridiculous stunts.
Landing back on Earth, he took in the sight of the ruined cities, the thick smoke clouding the skies, and the darkness that spread through the air like a poison.
All of it made his heart ache.
The real world… had suffered greatly.
He landed in Rong City—the very city where he had attended university.
Every skyscraper was now reduced to rubble.
In the shadowed corners of broken streets, survivors huddled together, trembling and weeping.
They had lost their families, their friends, their homes.
To ordinary people, this wasn't just destruction—this was the end of the world.
"Tiga's here!"
"Tiga finally appeared!"
"But my home's already gone!"
"What's the point of Tiga showing up now? My parents were crushed by monsters!"
"Why now?! Why so late?!"
"Why…!"
The sight of Tiga brought some people hope—
but for others, it brought nothing but pain and anger.
It was natural, Yu Zhou knew.
In the face of such loss, people often needed someone to blame.
He simply shook his head.
He understood the pain of losing loved ones all too well.
Seeing these people's despair, he could only empathize.
Let them vent.
He had done his best—he wouldn't hold it against them.
Turning his gaze to the monsters still rampaging through the ruins, Yu Zhou's expression hardened.
Even after demolishing the city, they hadn't left.
They continued to trample what little remained, tormenting the survivors' hearts.
"Damn beasts."
A light blade whirled from his hand, slicing cleanly through the air—
and through several of the monsters.
Their bodies froze for a moment—
then crashed to the ground, erupting in fiery explosions.
The blasts drew the attention of many.
Some of the braver survivors crept out of underground shelters to see what had happened.
When they saw the glowing figure standing amidst the ruins—Shining Tiga—
a wave of voices erupted:
"Tiga's here!"
"We're safe! The monsters are gone!"
"Come out and look—it's Shining Tiga!"
Their shouts spread, pulling more people from hiding.
But most still couldn't muster the will to celebrate.
Their homes were gone.
Their families and friends—gone.
The trauma was too deep.
Those who were able began helping others toward safer shelters.
Yu Zhou didn't know what to say to comfort them.
He simply nodded gently toward the ones calling his name—
and took to the skies again.
Camearra stood watch around a nearby village, protecting the residents.
Whenever a monster approached, she destroyed it immediately.
For her, nothing mattered more than keeping Yu Zhou's loved ones safe.
The rest of the world's problems weren't her concern.
Looking up, she saw a shining figure streaking across the sky—
chasing down a bird-like monster.
Camearra relaxed.
She had worried that Yu Zhou had run into trouble beyond the stars,
but seeing him now, she could finally breathe easier.
Yu Zhou also noticed her below,
but right now, exterminating the monsters across the planet took priority.
With Camearra guarding his family, he could fight freely.
He caught up with the flying monster, colliding with it head-on.
A blinding explosion tore across the sky, scattering debris like sparks in the wind.
He'd never tested using Dyna's Miracles-type cloning ability while in Tiga's Shining Form before.
After all, Dyna could only split himself while in his Miracle Type.
Whether Tiga could do it—or not—was unknown.
But with monsters flooding the world, Yu Zhou had no other choice.
"Looks like… this is the only way."
Focusing the Miracle energy within him, he merged it with his own light.
In the next instant, Yu Zhou began spinning rapidly—
and countless composite-type duplicates burst forth from his shining body, flying in every direction.
The light of Shining Tiga was immensely powerful,
but even so, creating that many clones strained his power to its limit.
He managed to send out roughly ten thousand Tigas around the world to battle monsters simultaneously.
Once it was done, Yu Zhou could feel it—
his Miracle energy was completely drained.
Using Dyna's cloning power while in Shining Form had emptied him out entirely.
That was the price.
"Now then… where did that Greeza go?"
Destroying Greeza was still the most urgent matter.
But for now, since its whereabouts were unknown, Yu Zhou decided to take care of the other "boss" first—
Dark Lugiel, who had appeared in Japan.
He shifted direction and flew toward the island nation.
Along the way, monsters kept emerging from spatial rifts, one after another.
Yu Zhou destroyed them in passing, but the endless onslaught was frustrating.
The rifts kept spewing out creatures without pause.
"If this keeps up forever," Yu Zhou muttered, "then no matter how strong I am… Earth's still doomed."
Wave after wave of monsters emerged—
and even a giant of light could barely keep up.
