The storm is heading towards Zoffy, trying to sweep him up and make him a part of itself.
Zoffy immediately exerted his strength, trying to fly out of the storm's range, but Zoffy's speed was clearly not enough to escape the cosmic storm, and he could only gradually be devoured by it.
First the feet, then the body, and finally the head.
Zoffy's body is being destroyed by this unknown storm.
But just as Zoffy was about to be swept away by the storm, Tiga appeared in front of him and reached out to grab Zoffy.
"Zoffy, get out of here right now."
"Tiga, why?"
Zoffy asked in confusion, but Tiga simply pulled him out of the storm and threw him into the distance.
Severely injured, Zoffy tried to turn around and grab Tiga, but his strength was no longer enough to support him.
Zoffy turned around and could only see Tiga's body being swept into the storm and then disappearing.
"Ultraman..."
Zoffy gazed at the spot where Tiga had disappeared, utterly bewildered.
He didn't understand why Tiga would sacrifice himself in the end to save a former enemy.
Zoffy didn't have much time to linger; the storm engulfed Tiga and then continued its onslaught towards Zoffy.
Therefore, Zoffy had no choice but to escape with all his might, activating the technology of the Star of Light and traveling back to the Star of Light by opening a hole in the Planck membrane.
Storm hesitated for a moment after discovering Zoffy's disappearance.
...Then, he continued his journey toward the solar system.
Chapter 106 The source of the storm is resentment.
Kaminari transformed into Ultraman and flew toward Zetton, who had already charged up his power.
There were only ten seconds left before Zetton launched the one-megawatt fireball.
This final moment is absolutely crucial.
Ultraman needs to seize that one millisecond of time, and at the instant that Zetton launches the trillion-degree fireball, use the Beta Wand a second time to grow to giant size. Then, relying on the Beta Wand, he can open the six-dimensional hole in the Planck membrane and send the fireball and Zetton together into the other dimension.
In the last five seconds, Ultraman left the atmosphere and entered outer space.
In the last three seconds, Ultraman flew to Zetton.
In the last second, Ultraman made contact with the trillion-fireball.
In the final millisecond, at the instant the fireball was launched, Ultraman pressed the Beta Wand, causing him to grow to enormous size a second time.
Ultraman transformed into a red ball and crashed into Zetton.
The Planck membrane was pierced by the power contained in the beta device and the trillion-degree fireball, creating a hole—a black hole.
The immense gravity of the black hole pulled Zetton into it.
This includes Ultraman, of course.
Ultraman flew outwards with all his might, trying to escape the black hole's gravity.
However, even Ultraman cannot escape a black hole of such high quality.
Ultraman's body began to rotate around the black hole, like a satellite of the black hole.
Time is distorted here, and space is stretched by powerful gravity.
Ultraman knew he could no longer escape the black hole, but he had promised his friends and the people of Earth that he would return.
In order to fulfill his promise to humans and his partners, Ultraman made his own decision.
Ultraman placed his hand on his chest and then took out the Divine Sword.
That choice is made in the end, to eternally unify and merge with God.
Then, he handed the Beta Device to the sleeping Shin-yon, along with all of his current Specium energy.
Then, he pressed the Beta Wand for Kaminari.
Light scattered, and Shen Yong was enveloped in a red sphere.
"Zoffy, please, take him back to Earth. His friends are waiting for him."
"Ultraman, leave it to me... I'm sorry, my current strength is insufficient to take you away from here."
"It's alright, as long as humanity is safe and sound, I'm at ease."
"Leave it to me, I'll bring him back to Earth."
Ultraman began to converse with a mysterious voice, the same voice he encountered during his first battle with Zetton, after which he was defeated and fell into the atmosphere.
However, Ultraman still has one last question.
"Zoffy...is this really Zoffy?"
"Yes, I am Zoffy."
"I see, he's the same as Ultraman Tiga..."
As Ultraman's voice faded, his body could no longer resist the black hole's gravity and was completely sucked into it.
In the end, Ultraman gave his life to a human, a human named Kaminari.
And on Earth.
The Science Patrol only saw it through their equipment: Ultraman rushed towards Zetton, and then Zetton and Ultraman disappeared.
Because of the black hole's formation, the time it took to pull Zetton and Ultraman into it was only a mere millisecond.
It is impossible for the human eye to perceive this.
But the members of the Science Patrol, especially Asami and the others, could sense that Ultraman... he had left.
Their teammates, their partners, Shinji Kaminaga, or rather, Ultraman, perished together with Zetton.
They just stared blankly up at the sky, at the sky where Zetton had disappeared.
They are waiting, waiting for a star to fall, waiting for Ultraman to return.
"Kaminari, we promised you'd come back."
Meanwhile, Taki was frantically flipping through the documents.
"We can definitely...we can definitely find Ultraman, right? He was just pulled into another dimension, so as long as we find his coordinates and reopen the hole in the Planck membrane, he can come back. We definitely can!"
Captain Sakami, on the other hand, silently gazed at the sky.
Tiga left to fight Zoffy.
Now Ultraman has also disappeared, having been sucked into another dimension by a black hole.
Everyone knows this fact, so it is filled with sadness.
However, amidst her grief, Sakami saw a red ball flying through the sky.
"that is……"
Under everyone's gaze, the red ball landed on the ground, then opened, revealing a figure inside.
—Shinji Kaminaga.
Asami and his group quickly surrounded her, wanting to confirm whether Kaminaga was safe.
Under the watchful eyes of Captain Tamura, Asami, Funagami, and Taki, Kaminaga slowly opened his eyes.
"Kamiyong..."
"Mr. Kaminari!"
"...Welcome home."
Kaminaga looked carefully at his companion, wanting to smile and say, "I'm back."
However, he suddenly felt a sense of loss.
This sense of loss prevented him from smiling.
His gaze turned to the sky—
Because that distant star shines brightly in my eyes.
I trembled slightly as I rose to follow the light.
Gazing at my reflection in that broken mirror, I see a version of myself from a bygone era.
Simply because I wanted to be stronger and I longed for everything.
You look up at the hat fluttering in the wind as it blows against your face.
Embarking on this long yet fleeting journey, all that remains is the silhouette of the distant past...
Zoffy, his body charred blackened by Tiga's beam, returned to his home.
Luckily, he brought teleportation technology with him, otherwise he would have been caught up by the storm too.
He was very anxious because he needed to return to the Star of Light to find out what the storm was and why it was formed.
He was originally going to investigate, but was caught off guard by the storm.
Zoffy experienced the power of that storm firsthand; he was almost completely swept away.
He recalled that the storm seemed to be filled with a great deal of negative emotions.
Yes, it's negative emotion.
This kind of idealistic thing.
The Star of Light has developed to the point where it possesses all sorts of technologies, but it has never witnessed this so-called "emotional" power.
So Zoffy wants to investigate this matter thoroughly, and also, he wants to rescue Tiga... if he's still alive.
Although he and Tiga were enemies at the time, Zoffy was not someone who was completely ignorant of the bigger picture.
Upon returning to the Star of Light, Zoffy discovered that countless ships from other civilizations were docked nearby.
The ships were carrying a large number of residents.
