One-Punch Man World.
"Oh! This feels pretty similar to our world."
Saitama looked at the Monster appearing in the video. He was a bit excited because wasn't this similar to the existence of a Monster?
A giant Monster appears, and then a hero arrives to the rescue, except the hero over there has become a so-called giant.
Though in Saitama's perception, there wasn't much difference between a giant and a Monster.
But different worlds have different situations; Saitama understood this principle.
"Indeed. A transformation?" Genos was also looking at the Super GUTS members in the video, as well as the previously debuted Golza and Melba. He remarked with some emotion, "But that Monster looks very strong. It feels like a dragon-level monster."
Just through the screen, Genos could feel that this Monster was definitely a dragon-level monster. After all, an existence of that size would cause unimaginable damage just by walking around randomly.
Through the screen, Genos could sense that even if he went all out, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat an enemy of this level.
If it appeared in their world, even an S-Class Hero would find it quite difficult to deal with; perhaps only Sensei could solve it easily.
"Dragon-level?"
Tatsumaki didn't show any particular expression. She didn't deny the strength of Golza and Melba, but she didn't actually harbor much fear toward these existences that were simply large in size.
After all, the reason was simple: the larger the size, the easier it was to hit. Tatsumaki herself had countless ways to deal with these guys, and other S-Class Heroes certainly had corresponding methods.
'But...'
Saying that, Tatsumaki once again looked at Saitama beside her. To him, whether it was dragon-level or whatever level, it was all the same; they were all opponents that could be dealt with in one punch.
During the time she had lived here, Tatsumaki had seen Saitama go out to buy groceries more than once, encounter a Monster, and solve it with a casual punch.
Unless it was an existence on the level of Boros, otherwise, for this guy, they could probably all be easily solved with one punch.
Thinking of Boros, Tatsumaki felt puzzled. Why hadn't he come over yet?
It seemed like some time had passed since that prophecy event. Could it be that the galactic overlord got scared? He doesn't dare to come???
While Tatsumaki was feeling a bit strange, Genos and Saitama were watching the video with full concentration.
Clearly, they were very interested in the plot of that world.
No Game No Life World.
"Whoa!!! This is!!! A Monster!!!!"
Sora appeared exceptionally excited. After all, he was someone from another world and knew most of the 'memes' in this video.
But even though he knew most of them, there were still some things he didn't know.
"Yes, it's a Monster." Shiro nodded slightly. Looking at the Monster in the video, she said curiously, "But it doesn't seem to be a Monster from the Ultraman series we're familiar with."
Sora nodded slightly and agreed, "It's probably from an Ultraman series of another world."
"But if it's a giant, it should be an Ultraman!!! Ah! I'm so looking forward to it!!!"
At this moment, Sora and Shiro fell into a peculiar state of ecstasy, which left Stephanie and Jibril beside them looking somewhat puzzled.
This was the first time they had seen the Blank Siblings like this.
Ah, no, it should be the first time Jibril had seen the Blank Siblings in this state.
Stephanie had seen similar excited expressions before, such as when they were communicating with a detective named Kudo Shinichi, or with Joseph and Jotaro.
They would show expressions like this.
"Monster? Ultraman? Are those things from your world?"
Jibril looked at the Blank Siblings with quite a bit of incomprehension and said, "Those Monsters named Golza and Melba look like they might be quite decent."
"If it were in the past, they would have the value in collecting their heads, hehehehe!!!"
As Jibril spoke, she gradually showed a rather obsessive expression. Clearly, she was very interested in those monsters—specifically, the interest in collecting their heads.
"..."
The Blank Siblings were silent for a moment. They glanced at Jibril; from her performance in the video, this god-slaying weapon indeed possessed power not inferior to a Monster's.
If they really fought, Jibril might actually be able to kill several Monsters.
However, the worldviews were different, so the Blank Siblings could only speculate through the feats shown in the video.
"I wonder what kind of Ultraman it is; I'm really looking forward to it."
Sora looked at the Super GUTS members in the video and smiled mischievously. "But next, there should be a classic plot: humans on Earth encounter danger, and then Ultraman appears and saves them."
"Finally, this Ultraman hides among humans and begins to fight for humanity. As for what the 'god-tier reversal' will be later, I've already thought of it."
"Perhaps humans don't trust Ultraman and attack him, and then there's a child who believes in Ultraman and thinks he is righteous. As long as one person stands by him, he can continue to fight."
As he spoke, Sora lost himself in his own fantasy plot.
Shiro, on the other hand, complained slightly, "It might be the other way around: Ultraman loses trust in humans and starts to stand by as a bystander, and finally, humans use their own wisdom and courage to let Ultraman see the potential of humanity."
"That's why the title would be 'To the Radiant Ones.'"
The Blank Siblings were talking quite excitedly, completely ignoring Jibril and Stephanie beside them.
"Are they always like this?"
Watching the Blank Siblings discuss so heatedly, Jibril showed a smile of great interest. Clearly, she didn't feel much anger over being ignored.
Instead, she was curious about the Blank Siblings being like this, or rather, curious about the 'topics' from their world.
"Yeah, they're like this from time to time."
Seeing Jibril also commenting on this issue, Stephanie complained as well, "They suddenly enter their own world of just the two of them, completely ignoring our feelings."
"~~~"
Jibril just smiled and didn't say much. She looked at the video, clearly very curious about how that 'Ultraman' would appear next.
The video continued to play.
At this moment, after arriving at their destination, the Super GUTS members began to look for the pyramid.
The five of them split up and began searching for the pyramid from different directions.
The camera now focused on Daigo. Member Daigo was walking alone on a suspension bridge, also looking around as if trying to find the location of the pyramid.
"Daigo, Daigo, Daigo..."
Just then, a female voice suddenly rang out, as if calling to him.
Daigo paused slightly, then looked around, as if trying to find where the voice came from.
Finally, Daigo looked not far away and saw a pyramid looming faintly; he fell into a brief silence.
On the other side, the Super GUTS members couldn't help but complain: how could there be a pyramid here?!
If there really were a pyramid large enough to accommodate a giant, how could the satellite have failed to capture it? It's absolutely impossible!
Just as they were complaining like this, they saw Daigo standing on the suspension bridge, and in front of him was indeed a pyramid shimmering with golden light.
Seeing the pyramid, Daigo immediately ran toward it.
"Don't go!!"
"Don't go!"
"Daigo!!!"
Seeing this, the three team members who first spotted Daigo hurriedly tried to stop him, as they had no idea what the situation with this pyramid was.
A rigorous investigation was necessary before any exploration could take place.
With Daigo running in like this, no one knew what might happen.
While Lina, Horii, and Shinjoh were calling command to stop Daigo's actions...
The scene shifted slightly; over the sea, Melba was advancing in a certain direction.
The previously disappeared Golza also reappeared in a Japanese city. His massive body destroyed many residential buildings, though he himself didn't seem to care.
Instead, he was rapidly advancing in one direction.
On the other side, Daigo finally reached the front of the pyramid. His teammates behind him were calling out desperately, telling him not to touch it because it was extremely dangerous.
However, as if receiving some kind of call from the unknown, Daigo reached out his hand toward the pyramid.
Then, Daigo discovered that the pyramid seemed to be composed of "light." His hands entered the pyramid without any resistance at all.
Just like that, Daigo entered the pyramid's interior. The other four Super GUTS members, worried about Daigo's safety, also entered one after another.
At that moment, everyone saw three tall giant stone statues standing inside the pyramid.
The Super GUTS members were stunned by the scene before them.
Vice-Captain Munakata stepped forward, looked at the giant statues, placed a hand on Daigo's shoulder, and said, "Daigo, you were right."
At this moment, Vice-Captain Munakata felt that Daigo's belief in Yurei's words was correct, because she had been right.
Golza and Melba had appeared, and now even the giants inside the pyramid had appeared.
Daigo nodded without saying much. He quickly walked up the steps to the foot of a giant, looked up at it, and placed his hand on its foot.
However, the giant did not wake up, but remained standing there quietly.
The scene shifted slightly again.
At Super GUTS headquarters, the main screen now calculated the movement routes of Golza and Melba. Their target was precisely the giant stone statues inside the pyramid.
"This is bad!!!"
Captain Iruma Megumi slapped the table. She looked at the doctor and Neri and immediately said, "We must find a way to eliminate the noise!"
Dr. Kashimura and Neri also nodded hurriedly and began operating the equipment without a word.
It was at this time that the narrator's voice rang out again.
"Just as Yurei predicted, the two monsters Golza and Melba have been resurrected on Earth."
"As if by prior agreement, they are heading toward the pyramid together."
The Super GUTS members inside the pyramid also received the message from headquarters; they had to temporarily evacuate the area.
Golza and Melba were already closing in, and they had no better way to stop them.
"What about the giants?!"
Daigo's voice was clearly agitated. He looked at Vice-Captain Munakata and asked, "What about the method to revive the giants?!"
Vice-Captain Munakata shook his head and replied to Daigo, "Headquarters says they still can't fix the noise part."
The implication was that the method to revive the giants had not yet been obtained.
Daigo turned to look at the giant in front of him. At that moment, he seemed to sense something—a voice called a "summons."
The other party was "calling" him. This unknown call made Daigo let out a cry of either fear or release as he ran out of the pyramid.
At this moment, the camera focused on the giant stone statue, which seemed to be watching Daigo as he ran out of the pyramid.
Not long after, Golza arrived first. As soon as he appeared, he looked at the pyramid.
Then, a purple light flashed on Golza's chest, and from his forehead, a purple beam attacked the pyramid.
"Zzzzt—!!!"
The terrifying beam destroyed the pyramid protecting the giants, and golden light scattered in all directions.
The flying Melba also landed on the ground, looked at the three giants inside the pyramid, and let out a sharp cry.
"Daigo?!"
Lina, piloting GUTS Wing 2, saw Daigo piloting GUTS Wing 1 alone nearby. He was currently a bit too close to the monsters.
In the next moment, Golza and Melba began destroying the giant stone statues. In less than a second, two of the statues were destroyed.
The last giant stone statue was thrown to the ground, a clear crack appearing on its neck.
"Stop it!!!"
At this point, Daigo finally couldn't take it anymore. He roared, and while piloting GUTS Wing 1, he pressed the fire button.
Although it was the fire button, what actually shot out were smoke bombs. These smoke bombs only served to attract the monsters' attention.
Golza noticed Daigo flying toward him. He waved his hand slightly, intending to swat away this annoying little fly.
However, Daigo, with his superb piloting skills, dodged Golza's palm.
Just as Daigo was preparing to continue harassing them, several beams shot from Melba's eyes, destroying the plane's propulsion system.
Seeing this, Daigo immediately intended to eject, but pressing the ejection button was useless.
Vice-Captain Munakata shouted loudly, "Eject! Daigo!! Eject!!!"
Daigo responded over the radio, "It's malfunctioning!!!"
Hearing this, the Super GUTS members' eyes widened slightly, and they called out Daigo's name in great sorrow.
Because the plane was about to crash after being attacked and the ejection system had failed, this... was no different from death!
Inside the plane, Daigo was indeed in such a state. The back of the cockpit was on fire, and the thick smoke made it impossible for him to breathe smoothly.
At this moment, he seemed to see his own end—an end called death.
But... just then, a white light radiated from Daigo's body. He himself was somewhat at a loss, and then in the next second, he turned into a ball of light.
This ball of light quickly entered the giant stone statue that Golza had thrown to the ground.
"Boom—!!!"
At that same moment, GUTS Wing 1 crashed into the forest, resulting in a massive explosion.
Seeing this, the Super GUTS members' faces showed expressions of grief and disbelief, because they thought Daigo had died.
"Vroom—!!!"
While the Super GUTS members were focusing all their attention on Daigo's crashed plane, they completely failed to notice that the forehead of the giant stone statue lying on the ground was emitting a rather dazzling white light.
"Growl."
Golza let out a low growl and walked slowly toward the giant stone statue, then raised a foot, intending to completely destroy this final statue.
Just as he was about to bring his foot down, the giant stone statue moved! He raised both hands to block the stomp.
"?!!"
At this moment, even Golza seemed a bit confused, not understanding what was going on.
As the giant raised his hands, a Color Timer emitting blue light appeared on his chest. In the next moment, he suddenly exerted force and pushed Golza off of him.
He stood up from the ground and assumed a fighting stance.
The giant! The giant has been revived!!!!!
Outside the video.
Naruto World, Akatsuki Organization.
"Eh?!! This?! What's going on?!!!"
Deidara was dazed. He had been feeling fine until just now, but then that team member named Daigo suddenly turned into a beam of light and entered that giant stone statue.
And then the giant was revived?! What's the deal with that?
Could it be that the giant came to life and saved that guy named Daigo in the process? But it also feels like something isn't right.
Deidara frowned, feeling like something was off. After all, from the beginning, this Daigo had acted very special; it was hard not to remember him.
Although his performance was special, he didn't expect that he would actually be the key to reviving the giant.
"Perhaps he is a vessel."
Sasori seemed to understand something and said very calmly, "No matter how powerful a puppet is, it needs a puppeteer to control it. Right now, this giant is the puppet, and that Daigo might be the puppeteer."
A strange metaphor from Sasori, but when he said this, Deidara also nodded frantically, as if to say...
"Sasori-danna is right, I was thinking the same thing."
"Perhaps he was chosen." Itachi also felt a bit surprised—not by things like monsters, since the Ninja World isn't without massive Tailed Beasts and Summoned Beasts.
But rather because Daigo had unconditionally trusted Yurei's words from the start, and later heard the mysterious woman's call and found the pyramid.
Finally, he entered the giant stone statue to fully revive it.
This made Itachi feel that this Daigo might have been chosen from the very beginning, though he himself didn't seem to like it much.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have run out of the pyramid screaming.
"Interesting."
Pain spoke, his voice unusually tinged with a hint of emotion. "I want to see how the giant and the monster actually fight."
Compared to all those complicated relationships, Pain wanted to see the battle between the giant and the monster more. After all, all those twists and turns are too much trouble; it's better to just start the fight!!!
