People in Special Photography: I, the Cosmic Street Slipper

"What is this...?" As soon as Zero stood up, he noticed the changes in his body.

A vague vortex with golden light appeared on the surface of his body.

It was a hole about the size of a fist and emitting golden light.

It suddenly appeared on the surface of Zero's body, but Zero felt no pain.

Cero could only vaguely see that the entrance of the cave was glowing with golden light. It was possible that the inside of the cave was also golden, but Cero couldn't be sure.

Although the hole appeared on the surface of Zero's body, it seemed to be able to penetrate directly through his body.

"This is......"

"The summons of the time vortex?"

Zero tentatively stretched out his right hand and probed in the direction of the hollow.

The moment his hand touched the hole, Zero felt a suction force coming from him, and his whole body was sucked away by the hole in an instant.

The place where Zero was originally standing was empty, and he completely disappeared without a trace, as if Zero had never appeared.

After Zero was sucked into the hole, he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, Zero found himself in an incredible space.

The entire space is covered by golden quicksand, and there are flowing vortices in mid-air or on the ground not far away.

The quicksand still exudes a faint golden light, and several quicksand whirlpools are like misty clouds, floating from bottom to top, or from top to bottom, from left to right, and from right to left.

Zero could vaguely hear the sound of wind coming from behind, but his body could not feel the push of the wind.

Zero looked around. Apart from the flowing fine sand and the sound of wind, Zero noticed nothing strange from the surroundings.

Zero, who was so elusive about this space, did not act rashly, but continued to observe quietly.

Looking at the whirlpools flowing in different directions around him, Zero saw the center of the whirlpool quicksand. It was a black hole that could not be discovered unless he looked carefully.

The fine sand gushes out of the black hole, or flows towards the black hole, but Zero didn't get close to see it, and he can't completely guarantee that the black hole is the end or starting point of the fine sand.

The location of the black hole was some distance away from Cerro, making it impossible for him to determine the specific situation of the black hole.

After seeing the surrounding situation clearly, Zero raised his head and looked in the direction above his head.

There is a huge black cave above the head, and the fine sand flowing under the feet gushes out of this black hole.

The surroundings of the black hole are like the falling fine sand, emitting golden light. If you look carefully, the hole is not like a normal circle. If you look closely, the arc of the hole is distorted, as if it wants to fill the entire space. All the fine sand is sucked in.

Listening carefully, there was a roaring sound coming from the cave, and there was also a sound similar to a waterfall, which made Zero feel a little unreal.

"Is this a time vortex? It's really weird..."

Sero is still feeling emotional about the surrounding scene...

A low, slightly ethereal, yet majestic voice came to my ears, "That's right! This is the time vortex..."

"Who?!!!" The sudden voice made Zero instantly alert.

Zero didn't see anyone around him other than himself, and his vigilance was instantly heightened, and he took a defensive posture.

"Don't waste your efforts, I only have my voice, you can't see me!"

Although he said that, Zero didn't let down his guard. He raised his own question, "Is it you who summoned me here?"

"That's true." The voice answered Sero's doubts and chuckled, "You don't have to be so nervous, I won't harm you. Besides, even if I have this idea, I can't do it. .....Because I don’t have an entity to attack you with.”

"You can think of me as the caretaker here. I have no name. I have been staying here since I became conscious. The only thought in my heart is to protect this place!"

Listening to the voice's narration, Zero clearly realized that the other party was not hostile to him, so he relaxed his vigilance.

"I am Ultraman Zero. I found this place in order to control new powers."

"I know, because I felt the moment when the power was born." That voice could understand what Zero meant.

"The power of gold that can control time...I summoned you here because of this."

"That's great! I want to completely control this power. If you know the method, then tell me!" After hearing what the voice said, Zero suddenly became excited.

But the answer to Zero was silence. The Time Watcher, who had always answered fluently and took the initiative to answer Zero's questions, responded to Zero with deathly silence.

"..."

"Why don't you speak?" Zero became a little impatient and asked again.

The Time Watcher did not answer Zero's question immediately, but asked, "Why do you want to control this power?"

After hearing this question, Zero fell into silence for a moment.

After he was silent for a long time, Zero began to talk about his own experience. When he was a child, he was isolated from his peers because his appearance was different from most residents of the Kingdom of Light.

Then because he wanted to become stronger, he took a shortcut to touch the plasma spark tower, and then he was expelled from the Kingdom of Light and was trained by Leo and Astra on the K76 planet.

Then he had high hopes from his father, Ultraman Seven, and rescued his father alone, successfully defeated Beria, the traitor from the Kingdom of Light, and saved his hometown.

Because of these, he was accepted by the residents of the Kingdom of Light, returned to his hometown, and joined the Ultra Guard.

Later, I had my own companions and helped each other with my companions.

"For me, each of them is unique. But in the subsequent battles, I fell into the trap of the evil spaceman. I once... took away the lives of my partners with my own hands."

Speaking of this, the original scene seemed to reappear in front of Zero's eyes. Because of that incident, Feng also used his own power, resulting in blindness in his right eye...

"The person I love also used power that she couldn't bear to wake me up, causing her to become blind..."

Sero clenched his fists tightly, as if he was disgusted with his original powerlessness.

"Thanks to this power...my friends survived. Unfortunately, that despicable and evil guy was also resurrected."

"But after I used this power, I lost the memory of this period of time... I want to become stronger, in order to be able to protect my partners, my lover and my hometown!"

"I don't want to experience such a powerless time again like before!"

"For them, I want to master this power!"

The Time Watcher listened quietly to Zero telling his story, and then said calmly, "This thing is difficult... If so, do you want to do it too?"

"What...what do you mean by that?" Zero asked doubtfully.

"Manipulating time...is an ability that people of this time should not have. No matter how much you blame yourself, or whether your partner and lover are alive or dead, this will not change!"
