With a single Lampart Light Bullet, the male MUTO was erased from existence.
Yuzhou lowered his gaze back toward the ground.
There, the female MUTO stood amidst the ruins, throwing her head back as she roared toward the sky.
Unable to fly, she could only watch helplessly as her mate was annihilated before her eyes.
"…Why does it feel like I'm the villain here?"
Yuzhou scratched his head, suddenly struck by the thought.
From one perspective, the MUTOs were merely trying to reproduce.
And he was the one wiping out their entire bloodline.
No matter how he looked at it, he fit the villain role perfectly.
Even so—
The MUTOs had to die.
Their eggs had to be destroyed as well.
The devastation in Chinatown had not yet fully revealed itself, but even with all the destruction Yuzhou had witnessed across countless worlds, scenes like this were still rare.
Only a few dozen survivors remained.
Just as Yuzhou prepared to descend and finish off the remaining MUTO—
A massive, dinosaur-like prehistoric beast suddenly lunged forward, slamming into the female MUTO and clamping its jaws around her neck.
"…Hm?"
Yuzhou froze for a moment—
Then immediately understood.
This was none other than the protagonist of this world.
Godzilla.
Originally, both MUTOs were meant to be defeated by Godzilla.
Now, only one remained.
Naturally, this made Godzilla's battle far easier.
In the original timeline, Godzilla had been pushed onto the defensive after being attacked from both air and ground by the two MUTOs.
But now?
A single female MUTO was no match for him.
The sheer power contained within Godzilla's massive body exceeded hers.
Confident in his superiority, Godzilla seized the MUTO with both forelimbs and shoved her backward.
The MUTO refused to go quietly.
After Godzilla loosened his bite, she slammed into him repeatedly, attempting to overpower him through brute force.
Unfortunately—
In a contest of strength, Godzilla still held the advantage.
Boom!
With a thunderous crash, Godzilla smashed the MUTO into a skyscraper—
—and followed up with a devastating tail sweep.
From the dull, lifeless look in her eyes, it was clear.
She was dead beyond doubt.
"Looks like it's over. Guess I'm done here."
Seeing this, Yuzhou prepared to depart.
Godzilla was not humanity's enemy.
He had no interest in humans at all—only the MUTO signals had drawn him here.
As ancient nemeses, Godzilla would never allow a single MUTO to survive.
They had to be eradicated before they could reproduce.
Stepping onto the MUTO nesting site, Godzilla crushed the eggs beneath his foot—
—erasing the future of the species in one motion.
Then, he lifted his head.
And looked to the sky.
There, hovering above, was a giant clad in silver and purple.
Godzilla sensed a threat.
The dorsal spines along his back began to glow blue-white as he locked eyes with Yuzhou.
Then—
With a deafening roar, he opened his jaws and unleashed a torrent of blue, flame-like energy.
Atomic Breath.
"—What the hell?!"
Yuzhou had not expected Godzilla to attack him.
He immediately deployed a barrier, blocking the atomic breath just beneath him.
ROOOAAARR!!!
Seeing his attack fail completely, Godzilla roared furiously toward the heavens.
"What are you roaring for? I didn't even provoke you."
Yuzhou frowned.
At this point, leaving peacefully no longer felt necessary.
If the so-called King of the Monsters wanted a fight—
Then Yuzhou would show him the difference between them.
Restraint Beam!
A golden ray shot forth, striking Godzilla's body.
Instantly, the colossal beast froze in place, unable to move.
Descending to the ground, Yuzhou fired another beam—
This one blue, detonating above Godzilla's head.
Freezing mist enveloped the monster's body.
Within moments, Godzilla was completely encased in ice, transformed into a towering frozen statue.
"Since this world still needs you to deal with other Titans, I'll stop at a warning."
Grasping the frozen Godzilla, Yuzhou lifted him up and flew toward the ocean.
Reaching the deep sea—
He released his grip.
Splash!
A massive wave erupted as the ice-encased Godzilla sank beneath the surface.
"Giant!"
"Thank you, Giant!"
"You're our hero!"
"You're a god of humanity!!!"
"..."
In a country that revered individual heroism, Yuzhou was naturally elevated to legendary status.
In the original timeline, Godzilla—after killing both MUTOs—had earned the titles King of the Monsters and Savior of the City.
"I already said I'm Tiga… ah, forget it. Giant is fine."
Floating above the city, Yuzhou shook his head helplessly.
This world was destined for disaster.
Against Titan-class monsters, humanity had no means of self-defense.
Yuzhou didn't mind leaving behind a little hope.
Returning to the ruins of Chinatown, his body gradually turned to stone.
A beam of light flowed from the crystal on his forehead and descended to the ground.
Tiga's stone statue.
A safeguard for this world.
Of course, not everyone was qualified to become an Ultraman.
The statue would choose—
Only those whose hearts contained light.
Only such a person could become this world's Tiga.
With the MUTOs destroyed and Godzilla sent away, the story of this world effectively came to an end.
In just a few short hours—
This became the fastest world Yuzhou had ever completed.
The giant turning to stone in Chinatown was witnessed by countless people.
Unsurprisingly, it sparked enormous debate.
The White House sealed off the area, intending to study the statue.
Fortunately, Yuzhou had left traces of spatial power within it.
Just as the researchers began their work—
The statue vanished.
Soon after, news spread that it had appeared atop Mount Kunlun in China.
Rumors followed.
They claimed that whoever reached the summit of Kunlun might earn the statue's recognition—
—and become a giant.
People from all over the world attempted the climb.
Most reached the peak only to pray before the statue, gaining nothing.
Until—
A Titan-class monster appeared in China.
And to save humanity from destruction, a young man climbed Mount Kunlun—
—and was chosen by the light.
The statue awakened.
Returning through the spatial vortex, Yuzhou reappeared in the little girl's space.
The Origin Power of the Universe emerged from where the vortex vanished, floating before the girl in the red dress.
"Did I grow at all?"
She looked at Yuzhou with bright, curious eyes.
"Uh… well…"
Yuzhou scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"Probably not."
"Then I'll just absorb more."
Unbothered, the girl split the Origin Power in two.
One half merged into her body.
The other began to manifest.
