In 1966, in a forest park in Saitama Prefecture.

For the average person, this is nothing more than a small park with little to show for itself.

Except for the slightly larger Lake Ryusen in the park, which attracts visitors from outside, there is nothing particularly remarkable about the whole park.

But since last night, something has started to look wrong with the park.

First of all, the gusts of wind that can't be driven away by the sun, give people an inexplicable eerie feeling during the day.

Secondly, for some reason, there are frequent whirlpools in the center of Longsen Lake, devouring everything that is caught up in it.

The park's rangers had tentatively sailed to the middle of the lake, but they barely had time to come back with their boats.

The most important thing is that today is obviously a sunny and good day, but there is always a dark cloud over Longshan Lake, and it looks like it may rain at any time.

It is now 1966, and both science and technology and people's intelligence are in a relatively backward stage.

Therefore, instead of attracting too many curious people's attention, the strangeness of Longsen Lake scared the residents living nearby enough to think that they were ghosts in broad daylight.

All kinds of urban legends about Longshan Lake also began to spread widely at this time.

Of course, there is no shortage of curious curiosity hunters and paranormal enthusiasts in every era.

So when Lu Xuan came to Longsen Lake, he could occasionally see tourists discussing all kinds of strange phenomena on Longsen Lake.

It's just that even the most daring tourists don't dare to go to the middle of the lake to see what is going on after the caretaker's experience.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

"It's a little more cautious than I thought."

Shrouded in black robes, Lu Xuan, who appeared in a dark form, walked through the park, but strangely no one noticed his existence.

It's not stealth, but it greatly weakens its own presence.

This was originally an exclusive ability belonging to Kirino Mufu, and it was also an extension of the psychic ability.

At this moment, it is perfectly presented on Lu Xuan's body, and the effect is even a little better than that of Kirino Mufu's magic stick.

Because not only did the ordinary people in the park not notice Lu Xuan's existence, but even Charlie, who was stirring up the wind and rain in Longsen Lake, didn't realize that the enemy had touched his lair.

"If this thing hadn't led the way, I'm afraid I would have found your 'flaws' so easily."

casually took out the Ultra Star given by Old Man Tsuburaya from his arms, and Lu Xuan's hood was blown over by an inexplicable wind, revealing his true face.

It's still the strange face of one eye on the left and three eyes on the right.

But this time, Lu Xuan's eyebrows also grew a horizontal eye, and it was still gurgling.

This kind of rotation is not irregular.

As if it had its own thoughts and consciousness, this eye observed its surroundings in a way that was not controlled by Lu Xuan.

Thanks to this, Lu Xuan saw the dark power that was accumulating under Longsen Lake not far away.

To be honest, this was the first time that Lu Xuan realized that his dark form could actually resonate with the "power of light" in another time and space.

[Or rather, it's my heart that resonates with the Ultra Star.] 】

couldn't help but glance down at the Ultra Star in his hand, Lu Xuan felt that he had obviously underestimated the unknowability of this thing.

In just a morning together, this Ultra Star seems to have discerned its own good and evil positions, and has taken the initiative to lend its power to itself.

Lu Xuan didn't doubt it at all, but as long as he had that will and idea, he could completely transform into the first Ultraman with the help of this Ultraman Star.

In a sense, this is a human body transformation device that has not yet taken shape.

The most important thing is that compared to the Tiga series of giants, the selection conditions for human bodies are strict.

This Ultra Star from the first generation, although it has not yet reached the level that everyone can use it, is not far behind.

Lu Xuan was a little curious, was this the result of the different environments of Tiga and the "Land of Light"?

Or is it just that the first generation is too tolerant of his own human body?

Thinking about it carefully, Lu Xuan thought that there were both possibilities.

After all, Tiga's essence is a "light" from the universe.

It is unlikely that human beings, or even material beings, can truly meet all of His requirements.

On the other hand, Ultraman in the "Land of Light" is an existence that has evolved from intelligent beings.

Therefore, in terms of the adaptability of strength, the power of the "Land of Light" is obviously more suitable for carbon-based creatures with physical mortals than Tiga.

As a result, Lu Xuan also discovered the biggest difference between the two.

Tiga's human body is not so much a human body as a "qualified one."

By lowering their posture and requirements, Tiga allows intelligent beings, including humans, to adapt to their own powers, and thus evolve a posture similar to that of giants.

Just like the ultra-ancient civilization, when Diga will one day leave.

Ultra-ancient humans imitated Tiga in their own way, thus giving birth to a truly giant posture of their own.

From this point of view, Tiga is a sharer of "light".

He does not hesitate to share his own "light" with all the beings he comes into contact with, and guide them to evolve into beings similar to himself.

The "Land of Light" is different.

They are real creatures, pure beings that come from the convergence of "light".

Therefore, the giants of the "Land of Light" are not able to do this, and the human body also begins the journey of evolution into "light" - even if they have completed the assimilation of life.

For example, the Ultra Star in Lu Xuan's hand.

It is only a medium that houses the first wisp of power, and it cannot change the nature of the user's life.

To make a metaphor that is not quite appropriate.

Tiga belongs to the kind of game that teaches you how to play games and how to create a game account.

Even if Tiga eventually takes away his account, the qualified person can use it to create his own account.

But the giants of the "Land of Light" are different.

They just lend their account to you, and even can only exist as a "substitute" plug-in.

Once the giants decide to leave, or if the wisp of power in the Ultra Star is used up, the human body will completely lose the ability to transform into a giant.

[The 'Ion Spark Tower' of the Land of Light is the source that truly opens the path of evolution. 】

With such a thought flashing through his mind, Lu Xuan slowly walked into Longsen Lake, letting the surging water swallow him up.
