The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2036: The Torn Ultraman

  "Are you kidding me to be the savior of mankind?"

Asuka Shin, wearing casual clothes, put one hand under his head and held the transformation device, the Flash Sword, in the other hand, looking over and over. Behind him were lush green grass and bright flowers, and the sky was filled with endless stars and a bright silver moon.

But all these could not attract his attention. At this moment, all of Asuka Shin's attention was focused on the small transformation device in his hand. It was less than half the size of a palm, but it contained endless power. It could transform a person who was more than one meter tall and weighed over a hundred kilograms into an Ultraman who was more than fifty meters tall and weighed more than forty thousand tons.

It's incredible.

When I was watching, it felt incredible; after experiencing it myself, it was even more unbelievable.

So small, yet it can become so big.

  Ok?

Where have I heard this before?

But where?

  Why can’t I remember it?

Asuka Xin pondered over it, racking his brains to recall where he had heard such words and why he heard such words.

I just became Ultraman today, so why could I hear similar familiar words before?

As I thought about it, the starry sky in front of me seemed to become even wider, and the stars became so dense that they formed a river, spanning the starry sky, extending from one infinitely far end to the other infinitely far end.

"Dad, why do you want to go to the universe?" A young boy looked up at the vast starry sky and asked curiously to his tall father beside him.

"Because the universe is so huge, I want to go and see what's in the Milky Way."

"But the universe is so big, aren't you scared? I get scared even when I'm alone in the room."

"Don't be afraid, Xin." The father raised his hand, stroked the child's head, and said softly: "Although humans and even this planet called Earth are very small compared to the vast universe, humans have a unique driving force that is greater than the universe."

"Really? Where is it?"

The child has lowered his head, looking at his own tiny body, as if trying to find out what is bigger than the house, bigger than the universe.

"It's in everyone's heart," the father finally turned around, with a smile on his face, looking at the child, and said, "The human heart is broader than the universe, broader than..."

  This familiar face that had appeared in my dreams countless times was now right before my eyes. I could feel his warm hands caressing me gently, I could see the reflection of my child in his pupils, and I could hear...

"dad--"

The bird letter was murmuring like in a dream, and a drop of crystal tear, reflecting the bright starry sky above, slowly flowed down from the corner of the tightly closed eye, finally dripping on the green grass and seeping into the fragrant soil.

It is so beautiful and so real. Although I vaguely know that it is just a dream, I don’t want to wake up. I just want to stay a little longer and sleep a little longer.

But Asuka Shin did not wake up, but his dream was broken.

In the vast starry sky above, a large number of stars suddenly "went out", leaving a black round hole in the bright starry sky, like a hole in a river, causing the surrounding stars to slide towards the black hole, as if they fell into the abyss and never came out again. Moreover, the falling speed was getting faster and faster, and more and more stars fell in, forming a vortex shape.

"What's going on here?"

Asuka Xin was horrified and subconsciously turned his head to look at his father, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Asuka flying up and heading towards the black vortex. In just a few seconds, the black vortex expanded dozens of times and occupied most of the sky. There were only a few stars left that had been countless originally, and they were all in the process of spinning and falling. It was only a matter of time before they were sucked in.

"father!"

Asuka Shin shouted loudly, stood up, and stretched out his hand, trying to catch his father who was sucked away by this terrifying black vortex, and Asuka Kazuma also stretched out his hand to him, shouting: "Shin——"

The voice was still coming out of his mouth, but Asuka Kazuma's tall body seemed unable to withstand the terrifying gravity and was torn into countless pieces. However, the fragments of flesh and blood emitted a golden light, as if they were made of gold.

"dad--"

Asuka Xin suddenly sat up while shouting, tears still in the corners of his eyes, anxiety still in his eyes, his hands were still stretched forward to grab something, but in front of him there was only the light from the holographic imaging system, above his head was the virtual starry sky, and below him was the artificial grass. Everything was telling him that this was just a dream.

  He is now 22 years old, not 10; this is a sanatorium at the Mars base, not the small hill behind his home on Earth; and his father was not sucked away by the black vortex, but disappeared in the light.

Drop drop!

Drop drop!

The urgent voice brought Asuka Shin back to his dream state. He hurriedly took out WIT and opened it. Before he could see the picture on the screen, he had already said:

"I'm Asuka!"

"Team Asuka," a female voice came out of the speaker. Then the person who appeared on the screen was Yumimura Ryo from the Super Victory Team. She was dressed neatly at the moment, wearing a gravity-resistant space suit and a flight helmet. From the background, it was obvious that she was sitting in a flight seat. She said with a serious face, "I am Yumimura Ryo from the Super Victory Team."

"Ah, it's you, Senior." Asuka Shin yawned loudly, then wiped away the tears from his eyes casually and said, "What's the matter?"

"Receive the Victory Condor." Yumimura Ryo looked at Asuka Shin who looked like he hadn't woken up yet, loose and lazy, and frowned. This was actually an outstanding student of Zero Flight School?

This was quite unacceptable to Yumimura Ryo, who was also an outstanding student that year. She suddenly felt that the honor she had always been proud of was not so valuable anymore.

It is as if after Emperor Zhenzong's Fengshan ceremony and Sima Qian's oath, the status of Mount Tai and the Luo River was lowered.

"Victory Condor? Receive?"

These two words put together made Fei Niao Xin's mouth unable to close. He said with a beaming face: "For us?"

"Yes!"

Yumi Murakami said unhappily, “Come here quickly.”

"Yes!" Asuka Shin jumped up suddenly, causing Yumimura Ryo to take a deep breath and then hang up the phone.

There was still a smile on Asuka Shin's face, but there was no smile in his eyes. After standing there for a while, he stepped forward to turn off the holographic image, put away the transformation device, and went to the locker room. He changed into the uniform of the Space Adventure Team, put on the Brest pistol, held the flight helmet, and strode towards the tarmac.

From a distance, I saw a group of people surrounding the Victory Condor. As TPC's newest fighter, the production of the Victory Condor is extremely low due to various reasons. It is still in the single digits now, and all of them are concentrated at the headquarters base. People from other places can only see its majestic appearance from the news and internal newspapers.

But now, in such a remote corner of Mars, we can see the latest Victory Eagle.

This was so incredible that as soon as the Victory Eagle landed, it immediately attracted a lot of attention, and many ground crew members and pilots gathered around.

"Make way, make way!" Asuka Shin hurried over, squeezing in while boasting, "This is our plane." "Ah, it's for the Space Adventure Team."

"That's great."

"That's normal, after all..."

As Asuka Shin listened to the words of envy and jealousy around him, and the smile on his face became more and more brilliant. It was not until he squeezed out of the crowd that he restrained his smile, put on a serious look, saluted to Yumimura Ryo who was standing by the Victory Condor with his arms crossed, and said, "Senior Ryo, Asuka Shin is here to report."

"Call me Yumimura," Yumimura Ryo returned the greeting, then picked up the receipt, slapped it on Asuka Shin, and said, "If there is no problem, just sign it."

"Yeah," Asuka Shin nodded seriously, then glanced up and down and left and right and said, "No problem, I'll sign it right away."

As he spoke, he picked up the pen and was about to sign, but as soon as the pen tip touched the paper, he stopped, looked up, and said, "Shouldn't the captain sign it?"

"What about Captain Chiba?"

"Uh, the captain is on a business trip and hasn't come back yet."

"Are there any other members of your space adventure team here?"

"Uh," Asuka scratched his head with the pen cap and said, "No!"

The captain went to Pluto, and the vice-captain and others are on Earth.

"Then sign it quickly."

"Oh!" Asuka Shin started to sign, muttering, "Since it's for us, why don't you let others drive it over? Oh, why send it to Mars? This fighter is a combination of three aircraft, right? Can the two of us fly it?"

  Swish swish!

Asuka Nobuyuki was signing very quickly, and his mouth was also speaking very quickly, which made Yumimura Ryo feel overwhelmed. However, with so many people around, he couldn't lose his composure or lose the members of the Super Victory Team, so he could only force a smile and said, "This is an order from the headquarters. As for whether it can be opened, we will..."

But before he could finish his words, the WIT on Yumimura's waist rang, forcing him to quickly lower his head to take out the WIT. He took the opportunity to turn around so as not to read Asuka's letter. When he opened it, it turned out to be the captain Tsuyoshi Kihiro.

"team leader!"

"Ryo," said Kibi Tsunade with a serious expression, "I just received information from PWI. When they were trying to repair the Cosmic Network communication satellite deployed in Pluto's orbit, they found a message that was suspected to be sent by Romus III, but the damage was too severe. So far, they have only analyzed a number of suspected coordinates. The location is about 32 astronomical units away from Eris."

"so far!"

Yumimura Ryo exclaimed in surprise, this was far from the orbit of Pluto.

Eris is 96 astronomical units away from the sun, which is 14.4 billion kilometers, and this coordinate is 32 astronomical units away from Eris, which is more than 4 billion kilometers.

Although the Lomus III is equipped with the Max power system, it is a scientific research vessel after all, and its size and weight are much larger and heavier than fighter jets. Naturally, its speed cannot be compared with that of the Victory Eagle.

Even if we count from the time when Lomus III lost contact, it would be impossible for it to fly so far given its speed.

"Headquarters requires you to quickly head to Pluto's orbit, meet up with Captain Chiba, and then go to this coordinate to investigate."

"I?"

".We?"

Yumimura Ryo was just wondering when suddenly the voice of Asuka Shin was heard beside him. He was so scared that he almost threw the WIT in his hand away. Turning his head, he saw Asuka Shin approaching him without him noticing, and judging from the timely sound of "we", it didn't seem like he heard it by chance, but had been listening for quite some time.

"That's right. Team Asuka has also received training on how to fly the Victory Eagle. You will drive the Victory Eagle to the orbit of Pluto and follow Captain Chiba's command to go to this coordinate point together." Kibi Tsunade paused and said, "This may be a trick of the enemy, or something else, but we have to go and take a look."

"Yes!"

Yumimura Ryo agreed immediately. This was an order and he had to obey it no matter what objections he had.

"Ah, yes!" Asuka Shinya quickly agreed. It just so happened that he also had a lot of questions he wanted to ask the captain.

"Get going as soon as possible!"

"Understood!" This time the two of them answered in unison.

The command was given, and the Victory Condor, which had just landed not long ago, was once again pushed onto the take-off track. With continued acceleration, it leaped into the sky from the take-off port that had just been cleared not long ago, and rushed into the dim sky like a sharp arrow, flying towards the dark universe.

Yumimura Ryo was concentrating on operating the fighter jet, causing Asuka Shin in the back seat to open his mouth many times, but in the end he closed his mouth so as not to disturb Yumimura Ryo who seemed very busy.

Finally, I could only turn my head and look outside the cabin. I saw darkness everywhere, with occasional stars. In the distance was the sun, in the near distance was Mars, and not far away was the Mars Space Station.

The beauty of the universe that is rarely seen by ordinary people is commonplace to them.

This made Fei Niao Xin wonder if his father was the same back then, looking at the universe that he had seen countless times, flying in the dark and silent universe that he had flown countless times. His initial curiosity about the starry sky had long been exhausted, and his expectations for the universe had long disappeared, but he still insisted on flying. What on earth supported him?

Time and again, they leave their families and bustling cities to go to the desolate lunar base, fly into the empty and lonely universe, and risk their lives.

  Is it worth doing this?

I have thought about this question countless times since I was a child. I even felt resentful. I resented my father for never being able to accompany me and for leaving me so early.

As he grew older and gained more experience, his resentment gradually disappeared, but he still had some grudges in his heart. This also affected Asuka Shin, and he chose to fly. He wanted to see the universe and find out how powerful the universe was that could make his father abandon his family and even his life there.

Thinking of this, I recalled the previous dream. That dream was so clear and real that I even recalled the words my father had said, which I had long forgotten, and the father who was torn to pieces at the end.
