(The story has reached this point, it's nearing its end, this world...)
Chapter 117 The reason I rose up to fight was because I heard the cries of the people.
The enormous Zetton instantly obscured the sun of this planet.
Night is coming.
The Solan people, who had defeated the tyrant and stopped him from launching wars of aggression, all looked up at Zeton in the sky.
In this world devoid of light, everyone is watching the weapon that will bring destruction.
And then there was Li Xiang, who also looked at Zhidun with a sense of formidable danger.
"That's...Zeton! Why is there Zeton here?"
"Because that's a celestial suppression weapon from the Star of Light, used to eliminate the Solan people."
Li Xiang was met with a child's innocent voice.
Li Xiang turned around and saw a young girl standing beside him.
Like everyone else on this planet, she had small, delicate horns on her head and jet-black eyes, making her quite adorable.
She wore a long white dress, which made her appear spotless on the dark, smoke-filled battlefield.
Like an angel.
"...To exterminate the Solan people?"
"Yes, it's meant to eliminate the Solan people."
"Why did they do this? What did the Solan people do to deserve their destruction?"
Li Xiang only saw countless warriors rebelling against the tyrant.
The soldiers were brave and fearless, the girls gently cared for the wounded, and everyone was working hard for peace.
Therefore, he did not believe that the people of this planet would commit a mistake that would lead to their destruction.
"What did the Solan people do? Heh, I have no idea."
The little girl just tilted her head and said it amusingly.
Then, the little girl walked towards the battlefield on her own, sometimes comforting the wounded soldiers around her, sometimes closing the eyes of the fallen soldiers.
"The Solan people, after thousands of years of development, have finally mastered the ability to travel between stars... However, the Solan people are a contradictory species; the ability to travel between stars has not brought peace to Solan."
She suddenly began to tell the story of the planet with sadness.
"Among the Solan people, a dictator emerged who seized power and controlled the entire planet Solan. Then... due to his ambition, the tyrant began to wage war against other civilized planets, launching a war of conquest."
"The Solan invaded the civilization of Proxima Centauri, treating the lives of this civilization as slaves and livestock, using them for breeding and entertainment... But the Solan still possess a peace-loving spirit!"
"Because of the tyrant's wars of invasion against other civilizations and his persecution of the lower classes of the Solan people, the peace-loving Solan people united and began to resist the tyrant... and then what you see is all this, these warriors using the worst weapons, facing the tyrant's warships and cannons with their own flesh and blood, just for peace, for a better world."
"They have won! At dawn they defeated the tyrant and put him on the gallows... Thus, peace should have come..."
"But it was Zhiton who arrived."
The little girl looked up and pointed to the sky.
"Zetton of the Star of Light".
"The Star People believe that the Soran people's interference in other civilizations violates interstellar principles, so they have decided to destroy the Soran people..."
"Therefore, these valiant warriors, after the dawn, did not see peace and a future, but instead were met with the destruction of Zetton."
"They fought for peace all along... yet they have to bear the consequences of the tyrant's actions."
Meanwhile, Zetton in the sky had begun to gather the power for a fireball that would destroy the world.
A fireball that will destroy the future.
"That's wrong. How can we destroy this planet just because it exists?"
Xiang spoke to the girl.
"I will stop Zetton, and stop the Star of Light from destroying this world!"
But the girl just shook her head.
"It's too late to save us... because everything you're seeing now is already happened. We're... dead."
"What, you've already..."
Li Xiang looked at the girl, and the girl's appearance actually began to twitch.
She transformed into a Zetton at times, then back into her original form, and then into the soldiers and medical staff who rescued Li Xiang.
It changes, taking on the appearance of all the Solan people.
"You... are dead, destroyed by Zetton..."
Zetton's voice came through, devoid of emotion, like that of a cold machine.
"Why is this happening!"
Li Xiang clenched his hands tightly, feeling powerless and angry, and felt the stinging pain in his fists.
Is there even... is there no way to salvage this situation?
My heart is aching.
The abrasions on my palms are stinging.
Li Xiang suddenly raised his arm and looked at the gauze on his palm, from which blood was seeping out.
This is the wound that the gentle and kind girl bandaged for Li Xiang.
Li Xiang felt the stinging pain in his wound and watched the blood seep out.
Then, resolutely, he raised his head and looked at Zetton.
"Yes, the Solan people have been destroyed... but there are still people in front of me who need to be saved!"
"Even if all of this is fake, so what!"
"I couldn't save the first time, so I must prevent the second destruction!"
Li Xiang tightened the bandages on his hands and then gripped the Spark Prism.
The little girl's voice came from behind again: "What's the use? We're already dead, already destroyed. Everything here is just an illusion. Why do you want to fight? Do you want to become a hero?"
Li Xiang remained silent, simply closing his eyes and listening to the echoes in the darkness.
"Don't be afraid, it's just getting dark. We've defeated the tyrant, and now we can finally live happily ever after." Medical staff were caring for the wounded soldiers.
"It's getting dark! Comrades, light the campfire, turn on the lighting, and take care of the wounded first!"
The young soldier, along with the other soldiers, is raising their own light in the darkness of the night.
So, Li Xiang raised the spark prism high.
"I never dreamed of becoming a hero."
"I fought because I heard the cries of the people."
The spark prism burst forth with brilliance.
"—Tiga!"
In the radiance, the giant of light stood upon the earth.
All the warriors looked toward the giant radiating light.
Even though the light couldn't dispel all the darkness, it was still incredibly dazzling.
Zetton's fireball has been launched and is heading towards the planet.
Tiga also leaped up and flew towards the fireball.
Zaipelliao rays!
The light collided with the fireball.
The destruction of the Solan aliens is now history, an inevitable tragedy.
So, Ultraman Tiga, do you have the ability to change history?
Do you have a way to change the inevitable demise of this planet?
The fireball exploded the instant it collided with the Zepelion beam.
The flames of the explosion engulfed Tiga, incinerating him into basic particles.
Then, the aftershocks of the explosion continued to spread, engulfing Solan in an instant, the intense heat evaporating the planet and everything else.
...So, the destruction wasn't changed, right?
As the girl was engulfed by flames, a single tear rolled down her cheek.
But it evaporated before it even hit the ground.
"If... in the real world, there really were Ultraman to help Planet Solan... wouldn't we be spared destruction?"
"...Can anyone tell me...?"
Chapter 118 So, how can we stop here!
Li Xiang woke up in bed again.
Just now, he was burned to ashes by Zetton's fireball.
That feeling was incredibly painful!
At that temperature, it's not just a matter of being burned.
You can feel your body gradually disintegrating, becoming part of the fundamental particles of the universe, your consciousness becoming uncontrollable, and then gradually dissipating.
It was a kind of helpless despair, where even if you wanted to resist, you found that your body no longer belonged to you, and all resistance was futile.
Recalling this pain makes my body tremble involuntarily.
However, a familiar, aged voice came from inside the room.
