"Senior… what are you planning to do…?"
Z and Haruki were both at a loss, completely unable to tell what Yuzhou was about to do.
Moreover, the form that Senior Tiga was currently displaying was something they had never seen before.
Facing Gomora, Yuzhou spread both arms wide, gathering light energy from all directions. In the next instant, a dazzling golden beam surged forth, wrapping itself tightly around Gomora's body.
The rampaging Gomora—driven berserk by severe pollen allergies—immediately calmed down. It stood there blankly, looking utterly confused.
"Eh?"
Inside Z, Haruki stared at the scene in a daze.
"Gomora… calmed down?"
"And even its pollen allergy seems to be gone?"
Traditionally, whenever monsters appeared on Earth and posed a threat to humanity, the response was simple—eliminate them.
Yet the Tiga before them clearly wasn't doing that. Instead, he had adopted a completely different, almost unheard-of method.
"This looks like… Senior Cosmos' ability?" Z said thoughtfully to Haruki.
"Senior Cosmos? Who's that?" Haruki asked, puzzled.
"He's a compassionate Ultra Warrior," Z explained. "When dealing with monsters, Senior Cosmos usually doesn't go for the kill. Instead, he pacifies them and restores their calm."
Haruki nodded as he listened, beginning to understand.
To be honest, Haruki rather liked Cosmos' way of handling monsters.
"Really?" Z paused for a moment, then thought about it. "Come to think of it, I don't have Senior Cosmos medal, nor any ability like that."
Regardless of what Z and Haruki were thinking—
Yuzhou's Full Moon Light Wave struck Gomora squarely. The once-frenzied monster completely settled down.
Frankly speaking, Gomora's rage was understandable.
It had been sleeping peacefully at home, only to wake up and find itself hoisted into the air by a robot, its backside being carried and displayed before a crowd of humans.
Anyone would lose their temper in that situation.
Now that Gomora had calmed down, it looked around in confusion, unsure where it should go.
Like a creature entering a "sage mode," it no longer had any interest in smashing buildings or causing destruction.
"Want to come with me?"
Extending one hand, Yuzhou issued a simple invitation to Gomora.
"Roar?"
Gomora had slept from ancient times until the modern era. Though it had gone on a brief rampage after waking, it was still rather muddle-headed now.
It didn't know who this silver-and-blue giant was, but the figure before it radiated an innate sense of affinity.
Still confused, Gomora placed one claw onto Yuzhou's outstretched hand, indicating its willingness to go with him.
The Earth Defense Force personnel, along with senior officials from international headquarters, were utterly dumbfounded.
What was supposed to be a simple demonstration of Sevenger's monster-transport capabilities had escalated into Sevenger fighting an awakened Gomora.
Then Ultraman fighting Gomora.
And now—another silver-and-blue Ultraman had appeared and actually made peace with Gomora?
In humanity's understanding, monsters were inherently hostile beings. Whenever one appeared, buildings would be destroyed and lives would be lost.
No one had ever witnessed a calm, docile side of a monster before.
Seeing Gomora extend its hand, Yuzhou knew he had succeeded.
Without further hesitation, he created an enormous bubble of water-like energy, enveloped Gomora within it, and then lifted the bubble into the sky, flying away.
"Haruki, should we follow and take a look?" Z asked, curious about where Senior Tiga intended to send Gomora.
"Roger!" Haruki nodded eagerly. "I also want to see how Senior Tiga plans to deal with it."
One after the other, the two Ultramen departed.
Yuzhou brought Gomora to the Moon.
Although humanity had established bases there, human activity covered only a small portion of its surface.
After landing on the Moon, Yuzhou set Gomora down and deactivated his Ascended Form, reverting to his Multi Type.
Z and Haruki landed beside Yuzhou and Gomora as well.
When Gomora saw Z, it immediately looked displeased. After all, Z had beaten it up earlier—if Yuzhou hadn't arrived in time, Gomora would already be dead.
"Senior, what should we do now?" Haruki asked from within Z.
There was nowhere on Earth suitable for Gomora to live, but the Moon was far too barren to sustain it either.
"This is what we'll do."
Yuzhou turned and glanced at Z.
The crystal on his forehead suddenly flashed with black energy. In the next instant, Yuzhou's entire body transformed, turning silver and black. The golden markings on his chest vanished completely.
"Senior?!"
Sensing the dark form before him, Z stiffened, instinctively taking a step back.
"Relax. I haven't lost my reason," Yuzhou said calmly, shaking his head.
Young Ultramen were still far too impulsive.
Raising his hand, a black iron staff tinged with eerie blue light appeared in his grasp.
The Giga Battlenizer.
"Th-The Giga Battlenizer?!" Z panicked. "Isn't that Belial's weapon?! Why is it in your hands, Senior?!"
"And the dark power you're emitting right now… it's terrifying!"
Z was genuinely shaken.
"Z-san… what's going on?" Haruki asked anxiously. He didn't understand the situation at all—he only felt that Senior Tiga's current form looked… decidedly villainous.
"This is the Giga Battlenizer," Yuzhou confirmed calmly. "It will become Gomora's place to stay."
He planted the Battlenizer firmly into the lunar surface.
At the two openings on either end of the device, one could see numerous monsters resting peacefully within.
Golza.
Melba.
Zoiger.
Silvergon.
Goldras…
All of them were monsters Yuzhou had captured during the Super Ancient era. Although many had been lost during the war between Light and Darkness, a considerable number still remained within the Battlenizer.
"Gomora," Yuzhou said plainly, violet energy beginning to coil around his hand and around Gomora's body. "Are you willing to become my monster?"
"Roar?"
Gomora tilted its head in confusion.
"Good. Since you're willing, you'll follow my orders from now on."
Yuzhou didn't care what Gomora actually said.
The violet energy surged, transforming Gomora into a streak of light, which was then absorbed directly into the Giga Battlenizer.
"Senior… can you understand monster language?" Z asked in disbelief.
Z: "???"
Haruki: "Ossu…???"
