Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

Chapter 2008 Shin-chan: May I?

Seeing that Shinjo Tetsuo was still a little confused by the question, Gu Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

He didn't say anything, but simply reached out and pushed Tetsuo Shinjo towards the two giant stone statues in front of him.

Tetsuo Shinjo stumbled from Gu Chen's sudden movement. Just as he was about to ask Gu Chen what he meant, he felt a warm sensation on his chest.

Looking down, Tetsuo Shinjo was shocked to find that the necklace of light that Gu Chen had given to all the GUTS team members was now shining even brighter than before, and it seemed to have a heartbeat, flashing with his breath.

Seeing this, Tetsuo Shinjo seemed to have grasped something crucial and quickly said, "This is..."

The words had barely left his mouth when Tetsuo Shinjo, caught in a jumble of thoughts, couldn't finish them.

Seeing this, Gu Chen stopped making things difficult for Shinjo Tetsuo and said, "It seems you've realized that the reason you became the key to the giants' revival is because of the Necklace of Light that I gave you."

"To revive the giant, a person with the genes of an ancient warrior needs to resonate with the giant statue, and then transform into light and merge with the giant."

"Before, you did not possess the genes of the ancient warriors, so you were unable to revive the giant statue."

"And the Necklace of Light that I gave you is the key to giving you the genes of the ancient warriors."

"As things stand, you are the first person to obtain the genes of an ancient warrior through the Necklace of Light."

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Shinjo Tetsuo's thoughts were instantly cleared.

In an instant, a strong sense of shock and disbelief enveloped Tetsuo Shinjo, along with a deep feeling of unreality.

Although he knew from the beginning that Gu Chen had been Ultraman Tiga's human form in the Showa universe, the situation in the two universes was not the same.

One was Tiga's conscious and active choice, while the other was his unconscious resurgence through resonance with someone who met certain conditions.

The most significant difference between the two is that one of the Warriors of Light has self-awareness, while the other does not, or rather, did not before the resurrection, and even the resurrection depends on humans.

As a result, Tetsuo Shinjo's godlike view of the Warrior of Light was shattered, fundamentally changing the image of the Warrior of Light in his mind.

This caused a severe psychological shock to Tetsuo Shinjo.

But then, a sense of mission and responsibility welled up in Tetsuo Shinjo's heart.

In his view, Tiga's mission is to protect the Earth, protect humanity, and protect world peace.

This is undoubtedly a very noble and great mission, which Tetsuo Shinjo aspires to, and as a member of GUTS, he also regards this mission as his own responsibility.

So when Shinjo Tetsuo heard from Gu Chen that he was the key to the Giants' revival, his first reaction was shock and disbelief, followed by a sense of mission and responsibility that made him feel like he had no one else to take on the task.

But then, just like Daigo Madoka, after gradually calming down, he felt anxious and worried.

Honestly, Tetsuo Shinjo was worried about whether he could handle the role, fearing that if he really became a giant, a small mistake might lead to irreversible consequences.

After all, the resurrection of the giant statues could affect the fate of many people, and even the safety of the entire world, so he had no choice but to think carefully.

Thinking of this, Tetsuo Shinjo forced himself not to think about these things, and turned to Gu Chen, asking, "Advisor, can you tell me who is the one who revived Ultraman Tiga?"

Before Gu Chen could answer, Shinjo Tetsuo continued, "I want to know what he was thinking after he became Ultraman Tiga."

Tetsuo Shinjo's words were unexpected by Gu Chen.

He originally thought that when Tetsuo Shinjo heard that he was the key to the Titans' revival, he would be overjoyed and ask him how to revive the Titans, and then work hard for the future with great enthusiasm.

However, Gu Chen did not see these reactions from Shinjo Tetsuo. Instead, he was behaving in a way that was not his usual self.

In response to Tetsuo Shinjo's question, Gu Chen asked curiously in return, "Is this answer important to you?"

Tetsuo Shinjo nodded without hesitation and said, "It's very important. I've always thought that Tiga was a god-like being who cared for and loved humanity. But now you're telling me that Tiga was actually revived after a human merged with his stone statue. Does he, like me now, have doubts about himself?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen was quite surprised.

Daigo Madoka became Ultraman Tiga almost by accident, which led to self-doubt and concerns that he wouldn't be able to properly use Tiga's power.

However, Tetsuo Shinjo hasn't even revived the giant statue yet, and he already has such self-doubt?

Is this because he has an overly strong sense of responsibility, or because he is somewhat ashamed of himself?

Gu Chen had not anticipated that he would encounter such a problem when he originally only wanted to revive the two giant statues that had long since disappeared from the original TV series.

Does this mean that every Warrior of Light in human form has to undergo a self-examination in this universe?

However, Gu Chen could still answer Tetsuo Shinjo's question: "Like you, he once fell into self-doubt, believing that he was not qualified to possess Tiga's power."

“But I think that since Tiga chose him, he deserves it.”

"Moreover, he proved with his actions that Tiga's choice was not wrong, and that he was indeed qualified to possess Tiga's power."

"This proof is what he was thinking."

"Admittedly, at the beginning, he was overwhelmed by this sudden mission and responsibility, but he did not give up. Instead, he cheered himself up and made himself better in order to cope with possible future crises."

"In a sense, he was lonely, so I think if he had one more comrade-in-arms by his side, the pressure on his heart would be reduced a lot."

"Shinjo, so what are your thoughts? Are you willing to take on this heavy mission and, together with Tiga, shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Earth, protecting humanity, and protecting world peace?"

Upon hearing Gu Chen's final question, Shinjo Tetsuo did not answer immediately, but instead frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a long period of internal struggle, Tetsuo Shinjo seemed to have made his decision.
