With a single knifehand strike, Tiga severed the horn of the massive Xenomorph Queen.
The moment her horn broke, the Queen shrieked in unbearable pain, collapsing to the ground and clutching her head.
Tiga casually tossed aside the severed horn and immediately took a step back.
Then, raising both arms, he gathered energy to unleash his Delacium Light Stream!
He didn't have much energy left and had to make every second count to finish off the Xenomorph Queen quickly.
In the next instant, a red energy beam burst from his hands and struck the Queen.
"Boom!!!"
A violent explosion rang out.
The Queen was instantly blown to pieces, scattered into countless fragments!
"Dee-doo, dee-doo, dee-doo!!"
Tiga's color timer began blinking rapidly—it could run out of power at any moment.
Swaying slightly from exhaustion, Tiga steadied himself and looked around.
He could clearly see the tragic state of the city.
The Queen had laid tens of thousands of eggs.
And nearly all of them had already hatched into Facehuggers.
That meant tens of thousands of people had been killed.
Soon, those Facehuggers would produce Chestbursters.
Which would then grow into full Xenomorphs.
And that wasn't even the worst-case scenario.
If all those Xenomorphs managed to evolve into giant Xenomorphs like the Queen…
Just imagine—tens of thousands of giant Xenomorphs.
It would be a catastrophe unlike anything the world had ever seen.
Such devastation would leave a permanent scar on the world.
No matter what, Tiga had to stop that outcome.
But the problem was—
He was out of energy. He couldn't do much more.
"Master, it's done on my end."
At that moment, Gaiomon's voice transmitted to Tiga from afar.
Gaiomon had already defeated the giant Xenomorph he had been fighting earlier.
Through the Digivice, he spoke to Tiga from a distance.
"Gaiomon, send the Victory Team all data about the Xenomorph eggs—their hatching and growth cycle. From here on, it's up to humanity to handle the rest."
Daigo issued the order to Gaiomon.
"Also, help me scan Kyoto's surveillance systems. Locate all Xenomorphs and eggs. I'm counting on you."
"Master, leave it to me."
For Gaiomon, it wasn't even a matter of hard work.
Loyalty to his master was always the top priority.
Immediately after, Tiga ascended into the sky and disappeared.
Gaiomon also vanished from the scene.
A moment later, countless points of light appeared near the ruins of the mine.
Daigo had intentionally returned here to avoid raising suspicion.
He looked worriedly toward distant Kyoto.
"Congratulations to Tiga's universe. You have successfully contained the Predatory Bus and slain the Xenomorph."
A voice echoed from the screen.
"All participants in the Predatory Bus containment are now immune to mental control. Daigo is awarded a custom Gold Guberos from the armory."
As the announcement ended, a massive robot several stories tall appeared beside Daigo from thin air!
Its chest glowed with a blue crystal, its left arm was a claw, and its right arm was a cannon barrel.
It looked incredibly imposing!
This was none other than the weaponized mech from Ultraman Z—King Joe STORAGE Custom—also known as Gold Guberos!
"Gold Guberos is an invasion weapon developed by the Pedan aliens, boasting immense combat power. Its eyes can fire energy beams, and its strongest weapon is the Pedanium Particle Cannon in its right arm—capable of slaying kaiju in a single blast."
"In the Earth of a universe known as Ultraman Z, an organization called STORAGE defends against monsters. They defeated and recovered Gold Guberos, retrofitting it into a defensive weapon to protect Earth. This is the very robot they use."
After hearing the explanation from the screen—
Daigo couldn't help but gape at the intimidating Gold Guberos before him.
And he was shocked to hear about another Ultraman from a different universe—Z.
As expected, there were many universes where Ultraman existed!
"Turning enemy weapons into our own... Impressive. With a robot like this, we'll have a major advantage against future threats."
Daigo couldn't hold back his excitement.
This was a massive boost!
"But I can't keep this for myself... I'll have to hand it over. Still, how am I supposed to explain this thing?"
That thought made Daigo wince.
He had no clue how to justify this situation later.
But more importantly, the problem of the Xenomorph eggs remained.
Though he had managed to defeat the Queen—
The aftermath was a nightmare.
Tens of thousands were already dead.
Daigo felt a heavy burden settle in his chest.
Naruto Universe
Night. Hidden Leaf Village. Hokage Tower.
Tsunade was in her office, practicing the Blazing Red Dragon Fist.
Even though she had only been training for a few days—
As a naturally gifted ninja, she had already grasped the core essence of the technique.
She could now borrow the power of the phantom fire dragon in combat.
"Planet-destroying power, huh... I wonder when I'll reach that level."
Tsunade glanced at the fire dragon crest on her arm, murmuring to herself.
But she wasn't in a rush.
Power like that had to be earned step by step.
Trying to reach it in a single leap would only lead to disaster.
After finishing her drills, Tsunade sat down in place, adjusting her breathing.
She didn't want to overdo it and ruin her cultivation.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, her expression turned unpleasant for no apparent reason.
Then she slowly opened her eyes.
"Sigh... So that's how it is."
She muttered cryptically.
"Creak~~"
Just then, the door opened.
Danzo stepped inside.
Tsunade, however, looked unsurprised—almost as if she had expected him.
"Huh?"
Seeing her calm demeanor, Danzo felt a faint unease, but he kept a composed face.
"Still training at this hour, Tsunade? So diligent."
Danzo said evenly.
"Yes. A lot has happened."
Tsunade slowly rose to her feet.
"So, what brings you here?"
She looked at Danzo with cool eyes.
"I came to discuss the future. You, Jiraiya, and Naruto have all gained mysterious powers without explanation—it's making many people uneasy."
Danzo explained as he placed two cups of water on the table, handing one to her.
"Maybe you have your reasons, but you need to say something to calm the village. That's part of your duty as Hokage."
He adopted a senior's tone, as if guiding a younger subordinate.
"So, what do you want me to do?"
Tsunade asked.
"I'd like you to keep me informed first. That way, I can help pass the message along."
Danzo said, lifting his cup in an implied toast.
But Tsunade merely stared at her cup and sighed softly.
"Danzo, you've been in Konoha long enough. Surely you know the penalty for attempting to assassinate the Hokage, don't you?"
