“Finally, it’s over... Good, this is truly an excellent story!”
In the towering cloud-like Industrial Illusions, Maximillion Pegasus, with long silver hair and dressed in a red suit, couldn’t help but applaud in admiration!
“It seems that making cards out of King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table and the earlier heroes of Uruk who achieved immortality could create quite an interesting set!”
As the president of the Industrial Illusions, seeing such intriguing characters naturally made him want to create a related card set.
However, it seems that the relationships among the Knights of the Round Table hold some unusual secrets… It appears they need to be thoroughly researched. With that thought, he began reading materials related to King Arthur.
Now, as the video plays, more and more people are eager to explore the mysteries within, and many hope to apply these findings to their own worlds... hoping to gain intelligence beneficial to their situations.
But in some relatively ordinary worlds, things seem more open. However, they lack the ability to conduct such research and can only watch idly...
In contrast, technologically advanced worlds like the Land of Light have been continuously analyzing this screen phenomenon. Yet, even Hikari, the top scientist of the Land of Light, has spent a considerable amount of time without reaching any conclusions.
“Chief Hikari! Look quickly, there’s a new video!”
In the Space Science Technology Bureau, a shout interrupted Hikari’s thought. Hearing about a new video, Hikari immediately looked up.
On the previously darkened screen, large letters appeared once again.
【 Top 5: Heroes!! 】
The moment this title appeared, everyone outside the video fell silent. Heroes?? Such simple words—this definition was too broad, leaving people unable to guess its meaning.
What is a hero? Does it refer to those who possess fearless qualities and courageously sacrifice themselves for justice? Or perhaps those who, despite knowing the danger, still unhesitatingly save the world?
~One Punch World~
“Sensei!! This ranking is definitely about heroes, and it’s absolutely you!”
Genos exclaimed excitedly, shouting toward the bald man beside him. Without a doubt, this ranking is undoubtedly for Saitama-sensei!
“Is that so?”
Saitama scratched his head, staring at Genos with his ever-clever eyes.
Though he was interested in being called a hero, he didn’t recall doing anything particularly heroic.
~Ultraman Tiga Worldline~
“Hey! The title this time is ‘Heroes’!?”
Shin Asuka stroked his chin.
Could it be referring to his ace pilot bravely protecting civilians while disregarding danger during the flight?
~A Certain Magical Index World~
“Heroes...? Could it be him?”
Shokuhou Misaki suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
If there’s anyone in this world who could be considered a hero, though he no longer remembers, there’s no doubt—he was my hero!
At this moment, the video began to play, and the crowd outside turned their attention back to the screen. After all, this video had never disappointed them since its release.
【 Amidst a grand and heroic soundtrack, a man wearing a black jacket appeared before everyone. His eyes were filled with sorrow but also an unprecedented determination.
“Light is the bond!” His gentle voice carried exhaustion, but his tone was resolute: “There will be someone to carry on its legacy and shine once more!” 】
....
~Projection of All Worlds~
When Himeya Jun appeared, the way people looked at him! Everyone outside the video felt sorrow, warmth, and light!
Indeed, the kind of light that seemed to embrace everything, giving viewers an overwhelming sense of security and warmth.
~Ultraman Tiga Worldline~
At TPC headquarters, Shin felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart. He sensed the presence of light.
Is he like me? What beliefs does he hold as he fights?
The newly transformed Shin was full of confusion. Why fight? And for what purpose? He hoped to find answers from this video.
~Land of Light~
“What a warm light!”
Ultraseven immediately recognized the man as a human form but couldn’t identify which Ultra Warrior’s light it belonged to.
“Arrow of Light...Himeya-san!!”
Seeing the man appear, Komon Kazuki of the Night Rider team couldn’t sit still.
He knew that Mr. Himeya Jun was Ultraman Nexus, and if his identity were exposed through this video, Mr. Himeya Jun would be in grave danger...!
While he was lost in worry, the video continued.
【 “We live peacefully in this world, taking peace for granted.”
“Even if unknown phenomena exist behind our daily lives, most people feel it doesn’t concern them!”
“But what if everything we see is an illusion...?”
As Komon Kazuki spoke calmly, the video shifted to his perspective.
For Komon Kazuki, he would never forget that day when he joined the rescue team. During a mission, he was overwhelmed by the memory of his childhood drowning, nearly causing the rescue to fail.
This left him feeling deeply guilty and self-blaming. Though his teammates consoled him, only spending time with his fiancée helped him regain calmness. 】

“Isn’t this the man who appeared at the beginning of the video? Could he be the protagonist?”
“I thought the man in the black jacket at the start was the main character! After all, he gave off an extraordinary vibe.”
“But looking at this guy now, he’s clearly just an ordinary person?”
“Perhaps the story is being told from the perspective of an ordinary person...!”
Even viewing the story from the perspective of an ordinary person like Komon Kazuki, the mundane scenes carried an undercurrent of nameless darkness, creating a suffocating atmosphere.
【 The story continued from Komon Kazuki’s perspective until one day, he was transferred to a mysterious organization... TLT-J, a special operations unit directly under the Night Rider!
Following the device’s instructions, Komon Kazuki arrived atop a remote mountain, surrounded by wilderness. He couldn’t help but wonder if the Night Rider really existed here.
Suddenly, a bread delivery van stopped on the mountain road ahead. Instinctively, he approached to investigate, only to find the interior in disarray and completely empty.
He picked up a soda can that had rolled to his feet. As he carefully examined it, a thick, black liquid oozed out, causing him to instinctively toss it aside!
A sudden noise from outside made him turn his head!
It was a monstrous creature resembling a giant slug, with terrifying tentacles. 】
....
~Ultraman Tiga World~
Nexus Komon Kazuki watched himself appear on the screen, lost in reminiscence.
So this was the moment I first saw Nexus? That incredibly divine scene! At the time, I thought it was a god descending...
“What kind of monster is this? So disgusting.”
“How could something with such a massive body hide inside a soda can? If it appeared in a city, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Iruma Megumi couldn’t help but frown.
【 Seeing this, Komon Kazuki immediately ran out, but he was still ensnared by the monster’s tentacles. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t escape being dragged closer to the beast!
Fortunately, he managed to grab onto a fence at the critical moment, preventing himself from being pulled away immediately. However, fear and despair relentlessly consumed his spirit. This feeling was identical to when he nearly drowned as a child!
It left him feeling suffocated, helpless, and utterly hopeless!
“Don’t give up!”
A sudden voice gave him inexplicable courage!
A beam of red light descended from the sky, followed by a powerful explosion. The tentacles binding him loosened!
When he scrambled to his feet and turned around, a massive silver arm had pierced the road. The monster had been obliterated by this single punch.
Komon Kazuki followed the arm with his gaze, and a towering silver giant appeared before him!
Beautiful? Powerful? Divine? Komon Kazuki couldn’t find the words to describe what he was witnessing!
The colossal silver giant retracted his arm and looked down at Komon Kazuki. The two locked eyes for several seconds!
“I... Am I dreaming?” Komon Kazuki muttered to himself.
At this moment, he felt as if he had encountered a god! 】
Translator Note: This Series isn't my forte, but somehow, I managed to translate it. The next few chapters are going to be hard, so wish me luck.
