Ultraman Fighting Evolution

The old man said with a look of reminiscence: "Has it been... more than thirty years? He looked about the same as you at that time, but he should be as old as me now..."

Regret, expectation, nostalgia...the complex emotions revealed from the old man's somewhat cloudy eyes, giving Xia Long an unspeakable meaning.

"Have you not seen each other for more than 30 years?" Seeing the old woman continuing to feed the pigeons, Xia Long said with emotion, "We haven't contacted each other at all?"

"There has been no news, but I think he will come back one day." The mother-in-law shook her head slightly, looked behind Xia Long and smiled, "It's that little girl. The person you are waiting for seems to have arrived."

"Ah?" Looking along the old man's line of sight, Xia Long found a slender figure standing quietly under the tree, looking this way hesitantly.

"Is it Ayumi?" After seeing the figure clearly, Xia Long called softly and stood up.

"Long, is it really you?" The girl approached with red eyes. After recognizing Xia Long, she choked and rushed into Xia Long's arms. "It's great, you are finally back! It's been three years, I thought..."

"It's true, I'm back." Wiping away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes, Xia Long comforted her and said with a smile, "Anyway, let's go back to the gym first."

"Yeah!" Ayumi blushed and took a step back, nodding vigorously.

"Ah, by the way, let me introduce you..." Xia Long was about to leave the park while holding Bumi's hand. Xia Long thought of the old man, but when he looked back at the bench, he found that the old woman had disappeared.

"Are you leaving?" Silently watching a group of pigeons pecking at the spot, Xia Long held Bumi's hand tightly.

"What's wrong?" Ayumi wondered.

"No, it's nothing, let's go." After coming back to his senses, Xia Long shook his head.

…

After meeting with Omura and others at the Chengnan Gymnasium, Xia Long moved into the same single room as before.

In three years, many changes have taken place in the Chengnan Gymnasium. After Meng and Saeko got married, they moved to March City. Children like Xiaoxiang have also grown up. Although there are still many children, the huge gymnasium is no longer what it used to be. lively.

"Will Long not leave when he comes back this time?" After helping to make the bed, Omura couldn't help but ask, "Yes? If you don't stay, I will be really troubled."

"I probably won't leave. After all, I also want to live like an ordinary person," Xia Long glanced at his left arm without leaving a trace, and said with a smile, "However, president, the captain just contacted me and asked me to return to the MAC team. ”

"Ah, what? Captain Zhuhoshi? Really, peace has been restored to the earth now!" Omura muttered, "If this continues, depending on me and Hyakuko, the gymnasium may also..."

"Don't worry, I'll help."

After settling down in the gymnasium, Xia Long took the time to meet with the stars again. The former captain has now become a staff officer of the Defense Force and remains on the earth, while Astra returned to the universe for some reasons.

As an isolated universe, what happened after he left is basically inconsistent with the story of Leo in his memory. Moreover, there is no Kingdom of Light in this time and space, but there are existences similar to the Galactic Federation to maintain order.

"team leader."

After briefly recounting his experience, Xia Long declined the invitation from the Star Clusters.

"I want to live a normal life, and now that there are no more monsters on earth, the MAC team doesn't need me."

In Tokyo Bay, Xia Long and the stars were walking on the embankment together.

"Long, you have become mature." Zhu Xingtuan said nothing, patted Xia Long on the shoulder and sighed, "Cherish your life."

"I have already discussed with Chairman Omura that I will be in charge of the gymnasium from now on." Xia Long nodded in response.

If there are no accidents, he may become the new president of the gymnasium after Omura, start a family here, and live an ordinary and happy life.

After walking for a while, when Zhu Xingtuan said goodbye, he finally said: "Long, no matter what choice you make, I will support you."

"Thanks."

In this way, after completing his mission and returning to Leo's world, Xia Long settled down peacefully.

No fighting, no life or death crisis, no loneliness, but...

In a peaceful life, memories of past battles would always appear in Xia Long's mind, especially the final battle with Zaki. Whenever he thought of these, the cells in his body seemed to have a strong sense of hunger, and the blood in his body surged.

"Am I...actually eager to fight?"

This physical change made Xia Long feel uneasy. He had not forgotten that Zaki's darkness was still sealed in his body. Once it broke out, the consequences would be disastrous.

"What's wrong?"

On this day, during a date, Bumi discovered something strange about Xia Long.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Ah, no." Xia Long hesitated and smiled, "Just blow in the wind."

While walking with Bumi on the beach, Xia Long couldn't calm down.

I have always longed for this kind of life, a peaceful and stable life, living happily with everyone, what I have been looking forward to...

Across the sea, Xia Long vaguely saw Kuroshio Island, the place where he first came to this world.

Contact with light, intertwined with light, changed my life.

"It's not the Xia Long of the past."

In the blue sky with floating white clouds, Xia Long seemed to see scenes from other time and space, Dagu, Sero, Mirai, and Musashi...

"Ah, dragon, look at these!"

The sea water was undulating under his feet, and beautiful little shells were brought to the beach. Ayumi was surprised to pick them up like a little girl. Her lively figure softened Xia Long's heart.

"Look at this." Barefoot, Ayumi picked up a pocket-sized shell from the sea water, as if she had discovered a new world, and ran to Xia Long happily, "Isn't this cute?"

The milky white crystal shell with water droplets shone in the soft hands of Ayumi.

"Yeah, it looks good."

"Really?" Ayumi narrowed her crescent eyes.

"Really." Xia Long nodded, and the cute and well-behaved appearance of Ayumi when she was a child emerged in his mind, and he also remembered the embarrassing scene of meeting Ayumi in the gymnasium on Kuroshio Island.

Ayumi has also changed a lot in the past few years and has become more gentle.

As night fell, after Xia Long sent Ayumi away, he sat alone on the roof of the gymnasium and looked up at the starry sky.

Just like Mr. Longnan who he met in the Seven X world, who yearned for the universe, he seemed to yearn for various Ultraman time and space, what kind of light he could contact, what kind of miracles he could witness, hope, and the future...

Moreover, sometimes he would also wonder why he entered the Ultraman world, why the system appeared on him, and where 001 came from.

Although he always felt that the system was unreliable, in fact, for this world, the existence of the system was really incredible.

"Wow!" As if sensing Xia Long's thoughts, the evolution instrument condensed in the light.

Compared with the beginning, some changes have occurred. The silver wing-shaped parts have golden and black stripes, the crystal-shaped core in the middle emits a blue halo, and the base is a streamlined red V-shaped part in white. The overall look is full of technology, but it also has a hint of ancient mystery.

"Does the host really want to stay in this world like this?" In the quiet night, 001's voice sounded, "Once you change, it will be difficult to come back, and the end is just a new beginning."

"Does the host really want to give up the path of evolution?"
