Chapter 344 Humans and Monsters Join Forces to Build a Flesh and Blood Defense!
"boom--!"
One by one, the fighter jets began their final system self-checks!
The gates of the base are about to open!
On the communication channel, the pilots' voices mingled together, their heroic spirit of disregarding life and death completely dispelling the fear of the apocalypse.
"The Lightning team is driving the GT! I'm so angry!" Xiao Hui complained about the Lightning team as usual.
Wei Weike glared at her and retorted, "We're going to fly to the other side of the world."
Although Wei Weike complained, his hands holding the control stick remained as steady as a mountain, without the slightest tremor.
"Kitada, we're flying GTs! We have to complete the mission!"
Kitada chuckled softly from the back seat, his tone revealing an absolute trust and unwavering resolve between old friends:
"We must complete the mission! Don't worry, it'll be fine, I swear on the name of Team Lightning!"
Okawara clenched his fist, trying to encourage himself!
"Even though I'm piloting an old-fashioned fighter plane, I'll fight with all my might!"
He definitely won't crash this time!
On the other side, the three girls from the Cool Dragons team were also cheering them on.
"It's been a while since I flew a regular fighter jet. Hopefully my skills haven't declined?"
Captain Daocheng chuckled softly, as if mocking herself, and then her tone toward her team members became more solemn and gentle than ever before.
On the other side, Tian Dayan of the Falcon team gripped the control stick tightly, his gaze fixed intently on the oppressive dark clouds outside the window.
"Kobayashi, Azuka, thank you... for always following me."
"Because you are our Captain Tian."
The team members' unwavering voices came through the communicator.
Tian Dayan took a deep breath, his eyes instantly sharpening: "The Falcon Team's final mission... must succeed!"
The dazzling tail flames brutally tore through the suffocating darkness, like ten sharp swords slicing through the sky, resolutely piercing into the boundless night of demonic insects that could devour everything!
Old soldiers never die, they simply fade away. Go Falcons! Carry the glory of a bygone era and tear through this darkness!
Wei Weike is still as arrogant as ever!
[All the bonds between everyone converged perfectly at this moment! I'm so moved I could cry!]
This is the pinnacle of ensemble drama! Every character is so real and compelling! They are all true heroes!
Catherine's voice reached the cockpits of every fighter jet taking off, and also the ears of every member of Alchemy Star, through the communication channels.
"Every fighter jet has its guide."
In this mission, she was another central nervous system in XIG's communication architecture, besides the commander!
"The illumination angle of the anti-gravity device is adjusted manually, and the data link has been sent to the secondary screens of each machine."
She paused, her gaze sweeping across the holographic screen in front of her, which was filled with countless points of light. Those points of light were her comrades-in-arms, the people she had personally sent into the sky.
"The rest..."
"You'll have to rely on your intuition."
The fighter jets tore through the sky and dispersed towards their assigned coordinates, like a meteor shower flying in reverse.
Meanwhile, on the ruins of Jinghai, another battle has been raging for a long time.
The ground in Jinghai is no longer recognizable as it once was.
The ruins of the high-rise buildings, like broken fangs, jaggedly pierce the sky.
Smoke, fire, broken concrete, and that suffocating dark purple light.
The canopy woven by the demonic insect Desibi strangled the sunlight.
And in the very center of this post-apocalyptic wasteland—
The Ren Dragon is roaring.
Eight dragon tails stretched across the ground like the spurs of a mountain range, each scale gleaming with a light drawn from the depths of the earth.
Its roar was the foundation of the entire Jinghai area resonating and howling.
The waters of the dragon vein heed its call.
The earth cracked open, and countless thick columns of water gushed out from the depths of the ground!
The water columns swirled, surged, and roared around Renlong's body. With each sweep, hundreds and thousands of demonic insects were swept into them and crushed into dust.
The remains of the swarm of insects fell like black rain from the sky, landing on Renlong's scales.
But it doesn't stop there.
It faces three enemies.
Three insect kings have been formed!
Caesar Derby!
The swarms of insects that it had scattered countless times regrouped in the distance, darkening the sky once again.
The three Caesars were closing in once again...
……
"It was a dream!!"
The roar of tracks crushing gravel grew louder as a tank broke through the dust and rolled over the burning ruins, carving a path through the broken walls and rubble of Jinghai.
It is the Shi Ding.
It's Hercules team.
"Before the light comes,"
Captain Yoshida's voice was rough and bold.
"We'll cover you!!"
Shima, sitting in the passenger seat, clenched his fist. "You're truly amazing, my dream!!"
Renlong silently gazed at the chariot that appeared small before it, yet dared to stand in front of the three giant beasts.
Its massive body drooped slightly, a posture that seemed like an ancient guardian paying silent tribute to the small yet courageous humankind.
I dreamt that Fujimiya's figure finally appeared at the edge of the ruins.
They had just arrived, their chests still heaving, when the sight before them made them freeze in place.
On the ravaged land, a nine-headed dragon covered in wounds still refused to fall, while a steel chariot charged forward at full speed.
Just then, a clear voice suddenly cut into the communication channel of the Sting.
"I'm dreaming? Can I hear myself in my dreams?"
Li Muzi's voice came through.
I was momentarily stunned by the dream, then turned around.
"...I heard it very clearly."
"must……"
She pursed her lips.
"We absolutely have to win!!"
She quickly sniffed to stop the sadness from spreading.
Suddenly, Qiao Ji, who was next to Li Muzi, added in a very informal tone:
"If we lose... then I'll become the female Ultraman!"
Then, I don't know who laughed first.
That laughter, amidst these ruins, was more precious than sunlight.
My eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
He raised his head and looked at the Renlong fighting to the death not far away, at the Shidinghao blocking the giant beast without retreating an inch, at the points of light in the sky flying to all parts of the world, and at Fujimiya silently watching him beside him.
This land, this world, these people!
These are all the people he wants to protect!
These words, which should have been lighthearted, made me burst into tears.
[Waaaaah, the emotional build-up was absolutely divine!]
[Everyone, every monster! All life on Earth is striving!]
[We must win! We absolutely have to win!!! Ultraman!]
……
Behind my dream, the Renlong once again raised its head, its roar resounding through the heavens.
He looked at the ground beneath his feet.
This is the place where he first transformed into Ultraman using his own power.
Now he will transform into Ultraman once again to face the final challenge from the Destruction Bringer!
Meanwhile, at the heart of the ruins of Jinghai, where light is about to converge.
The KCB TV trio has painstakingly set up their live broadcast equipment amidst the strong winds.
"Lunwen! 10 seconds before the live stream starts!" Tian Duan gripped the monitor tightly and shouted at the top of his lungs in the wind.
"Five seconds left!" Lunwen gritted his teeth, wiping the cold sweat mixed with dust from his forehead. His hands, holding the camera, trembled uncontrollably. "5, 4, 3..."
The camera's red light illuminated in the darkness.
Reiko Yoshii stood at the forefront of the ruins, her voice clearly transmitted around the world through a microphone.
"Please join me in witnessing what is about to happen. The time has come for Earth... and humanity to challenge destruction!"
These awe-inspiring images and vows were instantly transmitted to every shelter around the world via the newly restored neutrino network.
Everyone watching the live stream involuntarily held their breath and clenched their fists tightly.
At this moment, the 10 fighter jets have also arrived at their mission positions!
Each person has also begun contacting the corresponding Alchemist Star member.
In the final gap while waiting for energy to gather.
A special vehicle arrived at the front line.
Commander Ishimura, dressed in his crisp uniform, came personally to stand before my dream.
The two stood side by side under the despairing sky of this apocalyptic world. The howling wind whipped at their clothes, making a rustling sound.
"You must come back alive."
Shi Shi reached out and patted my dream heavily on the shoulder.
The warmth of that hand and the extremely heavy tone made my heart tremble violently, even though I had survived countless life-or-death trials.
The commander of the stone chamber then turned to leave.
But in my dream, I saw this superior who had always guided and tolerated me like a strict father.
The question that had been buried deep in his heart for so long finally came out at this moment, which felt like the last moment of his life.
"By the way... Commander,"
I paused, my eyes slightly reddening, my voice trembling with a sob, "Why did you know I was Ultraman?"
"And why... do you trust me so completely?"
The commander of the stone chamber did not answer immediately.
He turned his head, his deep gaze quietly looking into my dream's eyes, which were still clear and still full of love for this planet.
This supreme commander, who was known for his iron-fisted and stern nature, revealed a rare, gentle, relieved smile, even with a hint of an elder's extreme pride in a younger generation.
"Does this... need any further reason?"
I was stunned by the dream.
Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes and she could no longer hold them back.
Then, he smiled with relief.
Yes.
To believe in someone, to believe in that pure will to sacrifice everything to protect the Earth, truly requires no complicated reasons.
The bond between hearts has long transcended all logic!
……
"30 seconds until the operation begins!"
Daniel's rapid countdown came through the communicator, shattering the brief moment of tenderness.
At this crucial moment, when even the slightest mistake could not be made, a dead end was reached.
A sudden change has occurred!
The swarm of Destruction Insects that had been hovering silently in the sky like the shadow of death seemed to have a keen sense of the enormous energy surging wildly within the Earth monsters on the ground.
The sea of insects, which resembled a black cloud, began to churn and boil violently, emitting terrifying hissing sounds that sent chills down one's spine!
Immediately afterwards, several enormous Caesar de Bizzi broke free from the swarm in a ferocious manner!
They carried an intense aura of death, wielding giant claws as sharp as the Grim Reaper's scythe, and like a dense rain of meteorites, they frantically swooped down on Earth's monsters all over the world!
Meanwhile, the Earth monsters are currently doing their utmost to accumulate the earth's ley line energy within their bodies in preparation for its release!
In this crucial process, they must remain absolutely still and focused; even the slightest movement would render the energy accumulation futile. They simply cannot afford to be distracted and fight back!
They are now completely defenseless sitting ducks!
"Oh no!! The demonic insects are attacking the monster! They're trying to stop the convergence of light!"
The scene instantly switched to the front lines.
Brigadier General Chung, the highest-ranking officer of the GUARD Marine Corps, is standing next to a heavy armored command vehicle.
He looked into the distance at Tiguris and Zhongnaier, who were being frantically bitten by the demonic insects, their sharp claws creating sparks on their bodies, yet they still gritted their teeth and endured the excruciating pain without moving an inch.
Brigadier General Chung clenched his fist.
Those colossal beings that were once regarded as a huge threat by humanity and even clashed with several times are now silently and humiliatingly enduring the one-sided slaughter by the Destruction Bringer for the sake of all mankind's hope!
"General! The monsters aren't fighting back! They're just putting up a tough fight!" The adjutant's voice trembled violently, his eyes filled with unbearable pain.
Brigadier General Zhong snatched the communicator from the army's broadcast system and roared at all the human armed forces with a near-throbbing fury:
"All defense forces, listen to my command!!!"
"Point all the cannons at the sky!!!"
"Fire all our ammunition! Use the last of our human strength to cover them! We absolutely cannot let those insects get any closer to the monster!!!"
"For all life on Earth! Fire!!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With General Zhong's roar, the remaining armed forces of humanity erupted in a massive burst of power!
Countless heavy tanks hidden in the ruins simultaneously raised their cannons and spewed out scorching flames!
The self-propelled artillery positions roared deafeningly, and rows of anti-aircraft missiles, trailing long contrails, shot into the sky like a meteor shower flowing against the current, carrying the rage of humanity!
The dense barrage of bullets above the monsters' heads formed a massive and extremely deadly line of flesh and blood!
Before the swarm of demonic insects could even unleash their deadly claws, they were instantly struck by dozens of high-explosive armor-piercing bullets. Their hard carapaces were completely torn apart, and they tragically exploded into a cloud of green blood mist in mid-air!
The gigantic Caesar de Bessie was also repelled by the intense artillery fire and was no longer able to carry out any further harassment!
The soldiers' faces were covered in soot, and their combat uniforms were soaked with sweat and blood.
Their eyes were bloodshot as they frantically carried heavy shells, mechanically repeating the loading and firing motions like tireless machines.
The cannon barrels had turned red-hot from the continuous high-intensity firing, and even began to emit pungent white smoke, but no one stopped what they were doing, and no one took a single step back!
Tiguris's massive body trembled slightly as it let out a deep, yet awe-inspiring roar.
It glanced down at its "human roommates," who, though seemingly insignificant, were bursting with such astonishing willpower.
Then, it closed its eyes more firmly, forcing out all the light within its body without reservation, and flew towards the fighter jet in the sky!
Now! It's time for a real counterattack!
The theme song for Gaia started playing!
Humanity's desperate resistance, using flesh and steel, bought the monsters that most precious and fleeting window of opportunity!
[The battle song begins!!!]
Old Zhong is awesome!
[My fear of insufficient firepower is cured!]
[This is really exciting!]
This is what true community of shared destiny looks like! Monsters bring us light, and we serve as armor for them!
Brigadier General Chung is a real man now!!
[Good! He's already been seated at the same table as Gondo.]
XIG fighter jets from all over the world are now at their designated coordinates!
"Anti-gravity device! Corrected elevation angle by 2 degrees!"
"Elevation angle confirmed at 2 degrees!"
"Lightning Team Captain, adjust the elevation angle by 1 degree for 20 points!"
Wei Weike gripped the control stick tightly, the veins on his arms bulging.
The fighter jet was violently jolted by the monster's extremely intense energy fluctuations, and alarms blared in the cockpit.
"Such a strong rebound!"
"Keep your composure!"
"Just a little bit more! Hold on!"
The pilots of every fighter jet were roaring desperately and frantically into the communication channel.
They completely abandoned computer assistance, relying on real-time data calculated by the geniuses of Alchemy Star, and on their own amazing intuition and superb skills, using the limits of manual operation with their own flesh and blood, they managed to stabilize the angle of the anti-gravity device's illumination!
"The light of Earth's monsters will now gather here!"
"Gaia and Agul, these two Ultramen are the light in our hearts!"
Inside the shelter, countless people clasped hands tightly, staring intently at the screen, their eyes filled with tears as they prayed for a miracle to happen.
On the ground, the wind howled so hard that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.
I dreamt of standing side by side with Fujimiya at the highest point of the ruins.
In the tens of seconds before all the light was about to converge, the world was as quiet as if it were holding its breath.
Compared to the monsters that have come from the ancient past, humans are as young as a newly lit flame.
The monsters' power originates from the planet beneath their feet, a planet that has been breathing since the beginning of time.
That force surged up from the depths of the earth's core, rising from the bottom up, and converging back into the heart of the earth from the ends of the earth.
In ancient Greek mythology, the goddess of the earth was called—
Gaia.
The wind swept through the ruins, carrying the bitter taste of gunpowder smoke and dust.
The two soldiers stood side by side, gazing at the distant sky that was being swallowed up inch by inch by darkness.
Can they really regain their power?
Just then, at Fujimiya's prompting, I turned my head back in my dream.
Two figures appeared there without anyone noticing.
It felt incredibly familiar and dear.
"It's Mom! And Dad!"
When a child who has been away from home for too long suddenly sees their home in dire straits, the tremor that surges from the depths of their soul leaves me speechless.
However, when their eyes met those of his parents, no words were needed.
In that gaze, there were a thousand words, yet they all transformed into the same thing—pride.
Looking at the thumbs-up from my parents.
I smiled in my dream, and he gave me a thumbs up in return.
In the eyes of their parents, that once tiny child has grown into a towering tree.
He no longer needs them to shield him from the wind and rain, because he himself has become the one who can shield the world from the wind and rain.
The man standing here right now is more than just a dream to me.
It's not just Ultraman Gaia.
He carries on his shoulders not only the silent expectations of his parents!
Those were everyone standing behind him, everyone in this city who was trembling but still praying, and every life on this planet that refused to give up on tomorrow.
He carries the fate of all humanity on his shoulders.
[What a highlight! Transforming into Ultraman in front of my parents!]
[A truly heart-wrenching scene: the parents, seeing their child about to engage in a life-or-death struggle, smiled through their tears and gave him a thumbs-up.]
[Gaia's character development is truly divine, unlike Tiga. Gaia rarely portrays Ultraman's divinity; its eternally shining symphony is a testament to humanity's soaring and courageous destiny!]
The wind rises again.
Facing the hope that was about to break through the darkness, the two men's gazes were as firm as iron, without the slightest wavering.
"You've arrived, Fujimiya."
I took a deep breath, wanting to inhale the breath of the entire earth and the indomitable spirit of all life into my lungs.
"Let's... move out!" Fujimiya responded.
Om-! ! !
Around the world, all the Earth monsters that humans protected with their lives simultaneously unleashed extremely dazzling and eye-catching pillars of light shooting into the sky!
The energy of the earth and the power of the ocean, guided perfectly by the neutrino network and the anti-gravity device, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, transforming into a sky full of dazzling streams of light, and frantically converging towards the location where I dream and Fujimiya were!
An immeasurable amount of purple energy swirled, intertwined, and merged above their heads, eventually transforming into two incredibly thick pillars of energy, one red and one blue, seemingly capable of piercing the universe, which crashed down with a deafening roar! They completely and utterly enveloped Imu and Fujimiya!
"Gaia—!!!"
"Agul—!!!"
Accompanied by the desperate roars of the two, which used up all their life force and pierced the sky.
A blinding, holy light, in an instant, with an extremely tyrannical and unstoppable force, completely tore apart the darkness that had long ruled the earth!
The nuclear fusion energy that gathered from the Earth's monsters without reservation, the light of humanity's indomitable will and resistance, and the miraculous light between the two that transcended the bond of life and death, all blossomed in their final and most perfect splendor at this moment!
The earth trembled violently! The ocean roared madly!
A pillar of light, interwoven with red and blue, shot into the sky, and the resulting shockwave directly eroded the massive swarm of demonic insects in the sky, creating a huge, eye-like hole!
The long-awaited, warm sunlight poured down through the hole like divine punishment, showering the scarred yet reborn red earth.
In this blinding, miraculous light.
Two enormous, exquisitely beautiful bodies, exuding an overwhelming sense of divine oppression, slowly descended before the eyes of all humanity.
Gaia!
Agul!
Miracle! Resurrection!!!
