"Next, should we seize Thanos's Mind Stone or try to obtain the Sorcerer Supreme's Time Stone?"
Or perhaps, it requires sacrificing a beloved soul gem in exchange? Inside the spaceship, Zhang Bairen fell into deep thought.
"Let's deal with Thanos first, lest this chosen one cause any trouble."
"Then, I'll go and obtain the Time Gem." After a moment's thought, Zhang Bairen made his decision.
"Yondu, do you know where Thanos is?" Zhang Bairen asked.
······
More than two months have passed in the Ultraman Tiga world.
During this period, many monsters appeared, but the civilized judgment that should have occurred after the Mechanical Island incident never came.
At first, Zhang Bairen was on high alert and very serious.
However, as his own strength continued to improve, Zhang Bairen lost his sense of urgency.
Neither Gilbaris nor the unknown entity behind the Machine Island posed any threat.
Perhaps, the signal from the mechanical island was never transmitted.
That's why there were no further developments.
Otherwise, with Gilbaris's imaginary space, data travel, magical teleportation array, and interdimensional abilities, it would be easy to reach Earth's coordinates in the Ultraman Tiga world.
Within the Victory Team, Captain Megumi Iruma assigned daily tasks.
"Daigo, Rena, you have a small task for tomorrow."
"Captain, is it just Daigo and me?"
"Captain, what's the mission?"
Lina and Daigo then asked them questions.
The other members of the Victory Team also looked on with curiosity.
"I'm going to Mori no Ki Academy to give a speech and offer my congratulations," Megumi replied with a smile.
"Just a simple visit to the school to offer some words of encouragement? That's way too easy!"
"Exactly, it's completely unnecessary!"
Before Daigo and Rena could even speak, Shinjo and Horii had already started complaining.
"Alright, that's enough."
Our Victory Team also needs to give news interviews or conduct consolation activities.
Moreover, this act of offering condolences and assistance is not so simple.
After you have finished your work of comforting the guests, immediately head to the nearby White Fox Forest to investigate.
According to intelligence, there have always been ghost stories around this forest. I suspect that there are aliens or monsters hiding in this forest. "Megumi explained.
"The Forest of White Foxes? Ghost tales!?"
"Could they be Kirieloids, or even beings from another dimension?"
"I knew it! The task assigned by the captain couldn't possibly be that simple!"
"Daigo, Rena, be careful! If things get bad, request backup immediately!"
"I think we should ask Mr. Jinglong about this matter."
After all, it involves ghost stories and legends, so he might know something about it.
"Yes, we should consult experts about these kinds of things!"
Listening to her teammates' words, Kijima Megumi nodded slightly.
When the monster first appeared, Zhang Bairen, along with Jingtian Jinglong, contacted the GUTS team and Director Sawai, among others.
Even Ida Iryu's identity certificate was easily obtained through a backdoor in TPC.
Zhang Bairen is now a core scientist at TPC.
Iida Iryu is a martial arts instructor and special operations personnel for TPC.
"You're right, it was my oversight."
The ghost stories of the White Fox Forest are not a recent phenomenon.
"Perhaps Mr. Ida Iryu does know something," said Kijima Megumi.
"Captain, Lina and I will set off now to inquire about Mr. Jinglong!" Daigo asked for permission.
"Daigo, is there some secret between you and Mr. Jinglong?"
"I have a feeling that the relationship between the two of you is a little too close!" Lina stared at Daigo, as if trying to figure out what was going on.
"Ah, hahaha, no way."
Mr. Jinglong thought highly of me and wanted to take me as his apprentice.
I feel I am not qualified, so I have not agreed yet.
"However, Mr. Jinglong is a very nice person, and he has already started teaching me combat techniques," Daigo replied, scratching his head.
"What!? Daigo, why are you refusing such a good thing!"
Don't you know that Mr. Jinglong's strength is enough to fight a monster single-handedly?!
"And, is there any hope of immortality?" Shinjo, one of the two who crashed the plane, immediately shouted.
“Yes, Daigo, you have to seize this opportunity!” Lina added, urging him on.
"Thank you all for your kind offer, I will consider it carefully!" Daigo replied with a bow.
"Okay, mind the occasion, let's talk about this after get off work."
"Also, Daigo, if Mr. Iryu really wants to take you as his apprentice, you should seriously consider it," said Megumi Kijima.
"Yes, Captain!" Daigo replied.
After finalizing their general plan to go to the White Fox Forest, the Victory Team notified Ida Iryu to inquire about the various aspects of the ghosts.
As a result, they ran right into the line of fire!
The storyline of White Fox Forest is the official novel storyline published by one of the editors of Ultraman Tiga, the editor who created the storyline of Sukuna Oni.
Among them is Juro the Demon Head, the strongest ancient sorcerer in Ultraman Gaia.
And, the official CP of Ida Ryu, his beloved (demon), the master of the White Fox Forest, the fox demon lady.
Juro the Demon Head was the strongest sorcerer of his time, on par with Ida Iryu. He could control monsters and also demonize them.
This sorcerer named Juro the Demon Head was one of the root causes of the great chaos that ensued during the Warring States period.
Jing Tian and Jing Long fought their way through demons and monsters until they reached the White Fox Forest, where they discovered unusual resentment and magical power.
In this forest lives a top-tier, enhanced demon god.
This demon is the masterpiece of Juro the Demon Head's curse.
At that time, before he had reached his peak, Ida Iryu used all his strength to severely injure the demon and sealed it in the forest.
Ida Iryu was also seriously injured and fell into a coma.
The fox demon, who had secretly witnessed Jing Tian Jinglong displaying his power, promptly rescued him.
However, the moment Ida Ryu opened his eyes, he discovered the fox demon's true identity.
Having a keen eye and the ability to identify demons is one of Jing Tianjinglong's talents.
The fox spirit did not hide her identity, but instead introduced herself.
It turns out that she was once the true master of this forest, the sole survivor of the fox demon clan.
Her relatives, friends, and clansmen were all killed by a sorcerer with eyes in his hands.
An evil sorcerer cursed her, leaving her all alone to suffer endless torment.
The fox spirit saved Jinglong because she saw Jinglong's powerful strength, which allowed him to defeat demons and gods.
She hoped that once Jinglong recovered, he could wield his sword and kill her, freeing her from endless suffering.
However, during this time, she took good care of the injured Ida Iryu, and Iryu also spent a long time with her.
The long-term companionship led Jinglong to develop different feelings for her, but this kind of life always has to come to an end.
On the very day that Jinglong's body was fully restored, he performed a ritual to deliver the souls and grievances of the fox demon clan from the dead.
However, when faced with this woman, he simply couldn't bring himself to do it.
Even though he knew perfectly well that the woman in front of him was actually a fox demon.
Faced with the fox spirit's plea, Jinglong couldn't bear it and could only give her a hairpin infused with his own spiritual energy.
This hairpin can bring the fox spirit lady liberation.
Having recovered from his serious injuries, Ida Iryu's strength has increased dramatically once again.
Even a simple wooden hairpin can suppress the powerful ghosts and spirits that once existed.
Therefore, this wooden hairpin can be used to kill the fox demon girl, or it can be used to save one's life.
After presenting the wooden hairpin, Iida Iryu told the fox spirit girl, "My ultimate goal is to kill the evil sorcerer who has plunged the country into turmoil—Demon Head Juro."
And this devilish Juro is the enemy who wiped out the fox spirit girl's clan.
Actually, the reason why Jing Tianjinglong said this was mainly so that the fox spirit girl could ascend to heaven and be free without any regrets.
After leaving those words, Jing Tian left without looking back.
Perhaps he didn't want to see his beloved fox spirit girl perish right before his eyes.
That's pretty much the story from back then.
But what Ida Ryu didn't expect was that the fox spirit girl was still alive and hiding in the White Fox Forest.
Upon hearing the contents of Jing Tianjinglong's phone call, Zhang Bairen immediately revealed a gossipy expression.
Now that Jing Tianjinglong has been successfully resurrected, it is possible to make up for the regrets and rekindle their past relationship.
