Chapter 266 The Showdown That Never Ends
In the video, two dazzling beams of light streaked across the sky like shooting stars.
The red and blue streaks of light intertwined and collided in mid-air before plummeting down into a desolate valley below.
A tremendous roar resounded through the sky, the earth trembled, and dust flew everywhere.
Agul was the first to land.
He knelt on one knee and gently placed Jing Ling, whom he had been protecting, on a relatively safe, flat, high ground.
Immediately afterwards, with a loud "boom", Ultraman Gaia's huge red and silver body slammed heavily onto the ground not far away.
However, this time there was no dust eruption upon landing.
Gaia slowly stood up, the light of the earth shining on him.
He stared intently at Agul in front of him, assuming a fighting stance.
On the high ground, Jing Ling was completely shocked by the scene before her.
The wind tousled her hair as she looked at the blue giant who had protected her countless times, now facing off against another giant of light who guarded the Earth.
"No!" Jingling cupped her hands around her mouth, shouting with all her might downwards, "As long as you're with me, no one can hurt you! Fujimiya, take me with you! Take me with you!"
Her voice echoed through the empty valley, but it could not penetrate the thick wall between the two giants, a wall built of ideals and obsessions.
Agul slowly turned around to face Gaia.
In my dream, Fujimiya's cold voice echoed: "It's time for us to settle this once and for all, who is the real Ultraman?"
Gaia refused to back down, and the pent-up anger of Higher God Dream finally erupted: "I couldn't ask for more!"
"Why do you have to do this?" Jing Ling looked at the two giants approaching step by step with despair, tears welling up in her eyes. "Stop fighting! What's the point of you two fighting like this! Stop fighting!"
But battle was now inevitable.
[They've started fighting! They've really started fighting!]
[The civil war between the land and the sea has brought about a scene of utter chaos, with the Destruction Summoning Entity grinning from ear to ear.]
Poor Jingling, she couldn't stop anything.
【Wait, why is this dream about my higher self so intoxicating? Has he forgotten the previous dream?】
[Yeah, Mother Earth already spoiled the ending for him: both sides will be severely damaged, leaving only yellow sand. Why would he still challenge her to a fight?]
People can lose their rationality under extreme anger and pressure. My higher self has been under too much pressure lately.
In the valley, Gaia launched the first attack.
He let out a battle roar and charged towards Agul with heavy strides, like a rampaging heavy tank.
Agul immediately fired a light blast to disrupt my dream, blasting up clouds of dust!
Faced with Gaia's fierce punch, he did not take it head-on. Instead, he used his more agile movements to suddenly duck and dodge. At the same time, he leaped up and delivered a sharp and fast kick to Gaia's body!
boom!
A dull thud was followed by a burst of white air that was visible to the naked eye.
Gaia's massive body staggered a few steps from the series of kicks, but he quickly regained his balance and turned around to deliver a powerful elbow strike straight at Agul's face.
Agul crossed his arms and forcefully blocked the attack. The two giants' powers collided violently in mid-air, causing the ground beneath their feet to crack inch by inch, with huge fissures spreading outwards like a spider web.
This battle, without any probing, immediately descended into a fierce hand-to-hand combat.
The two fought their way from the east side of the valley to the west side, leaving behind a trail of collapses and devastation in their wake.
To be honest, the visceral impact of the punches is really satisfying; the dramatic scenes are superb, and the action scenes are just as amazing.
[But it's so heartbreaking to watch. We're all the light of Earth, why do we have to hurt each other?]
[My dream is completely out of control; it's nothing like the composed scientist I usually am.]
Fujimiya was actually very weak, but he persevered through sheer willpower.
Meanwhile, in the command center of the XIG air base, piercing alarms echoed wildly.
On the large screen, the energy fluctuation diagram of the two Ultramen's fierce battle was clearly displayed.
The two energy sources representing Gaia and Agul are rising steadily, reaching a dangerous critical value.
"Sir! Two Ultramen are confirmed to be fighting in Chichibu Valley!" Georgie Leland reported loudly, her fingers flying across the keyboard.
Commander Shi Shi frowned, his face ashen. Looking at the flashing red warning lights on the screen, he decisively issued the order: "Falcon Team, Cool Dragon Team, prepare to attack!"
"yes!"
Director Di Cheng immediately turned around, picked up the communicator, and added, "The Peace helicopter is also ready to deploy!"
At this moment, Commander Ishimura declared that he would also be joining the operation!
As the order was given, the hangar doors of XIG roared open, and several fighter jets, trailing blue plumes of flame, roared into the sky and headed straight for the battlefield.
However, just as the fighter jet took off, Li Muzi suddenly exclaimed, "Sir! The phase of the sky above the battlefield is severely distorted!"
The image on the large screen quickly switched to a satellite cloud image.
Directly above the area where Gaia and Agul were fighting, the previously calm sky suddenly began to spin violently.
Just now
Gaia and Agul rose from the ground at the same time, soaring straight into the sky.
The two suddenly spun in mid-air, their bodies rotating and transforming into two energy-laden beams of light. Their spinning trajectory tore through the air, creating a sharp whistling sound.
The next second, the two beams of light collided with a deafening roar!
A violent explosion erupted in mid-air, the intense light almost engulfing the entire sky, and the shockwave spread in all directions, stirring up clouds of smoke and dust.
As the light faded, the two figures lost their balance and plummeted to the ground like meteors with broken strings, crashing heavily onto the earth and stirring up a huge dust wave.
It was precisely because of the power unleashed by this collision!
The thick clouds were torn apart by an invisible force, forming a huge, bottomless black vortex.
The raging purple lightning danced wildly within the vortex, emanating a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.
[Holy crap! What is that thing in the sky?!]
[Wormhole! It's a wormhole! The Annihilation Entity has truly arrived!]
[Mother Earth's warning came true! The energy from their fight blew the door open!]
The enemy is watching from the shadows, waiting to cripple you before reaping the rewards—that's a vicious tactic.
On the battlefield, the two giants seemed oblivious to the strange changes in the sky above them, or perhaps they only had each other in their eyes at that moment.
After hundreds of rounds of intense fighting, both of them were nearing their physical limits. The colored timers on their chests began to flash simultaneously, the rapid "ding-dong" sound particularly jarring in the strong wind.
They both jumped backward at the same time, creating some distance between them.
The battle has reached its final moment.
Agul lowered his head slightly and suddenly crossed his hands above his head.
A dazzling blue light converged wildly, as if the surrounding air had been sucked out, forming a huge energy vortex.
He leaned forward, concentrating all his energy in his head—Ultraman Agul's ultimate finishing move, Photon Crusher, was ready to be unleashed!
On the other side, Gaia did not back down in the slightest.
He spread his arms to the sides, then suddenly brought them together at his head.
The red light, like a burning flame, illuminated half the sky in a fiery red.
The energy of the photon ice blade condensed into an extremely sharp red beam above his head.
Two world-destroying energies clashed violently in the narrow valley, causing the surrounding space to distort as it could not withstand the pressure.
In the sky, the enormous black wormhole had fully opened, and a deep, earth-shattering roar could be faintly heard from its depths, as if a giant eye was peering into this land that was about to become a living hell.
Two ultimate beams of red and blue light, carrying the momentum of destruction, shot out in mid-air and were about to collide violently!
At this critical moment, when everyone's hearts were in their throats—
The scene suddenly freezes.
Immediately afterwards, the melody of the end credits song began to play without warning on the black screen.
As the progress bar reached its end, episode 25 concluded.
The previously dense barrage of comments paused eerily for a moment. After about three seconds, the entire screen was completely submerged in a vast ocean of comments.
【？？？？？？？？】
Holy crap!!!
[Gu Nan, you piecemeal idiot!!!]
Where's my knife? Where's my forty-meter-long knife?!
[I took my pants off, and this is what you show me?! Where's the energy blast? Where's the explosion? Where's the annihilation summoner in the wormhole?!]
How can I be stuck here?! This is worse than death!
I felt like I couldn't catch my breath; I almost suffocated in front of the screen.
[This is too cruel! This abrupt ending is utterly inhumane! I have to wait a whole week to see the next episode; how am I supposed to survive that week?!]
[Gu Nan, you old scoundrel, you'd better keep both eyes on guard while you sleep tonight, or I'll catch you!]
Tokusatsu fans across the internet were completely overwhelmed at this moment.
Discussion forums, online communities, and social media platforms exploded instantly, with everyone condemning Gu Nan's outrageous and outrageous act of cutting out the story.
However, after a brief period of anger and catharsis, the audience's appetite, whetted by the high-energy plot, prompted them to frantically rewatch the show a second and third time, searching for clues in the plot, and engaging in in-depth analysis on online forums.
Half an hour later, on the special tokusatsu forum, a post was pushed to the top of the trending list by a large number of viewers:
"I just finished watching the latest episode, and I feel the same way as everyone else. I wish I could go through the internet and send the director a knife."
"But after calming down, I must say that this episode, whether it's the build-up of conflict in the dramatic scenes or the fateful showdown in the action scenes, has reached a god-like level. Today, let's delve into why this civil war between land and sea was bound to break out."
"First, let's talk about the most controversial point of this episode: Why did Koga become so reckless?"
"Many netizens criticized me in the comments for being brainless. Mother Earth had already given him a precognitive dream at the beginning, showing him a hopeless future where Gaia and Agul had turned to stone and Earth had become a wasteland. Why did he still actively seek out Fujimiya to fight? Wasn't that playing right into the enemy's hands?"
"Actually, if everyone puts themselves in Goga's recent situation, they can fully understand his loss of control. So many complicated things have happened recently, which is something that an ordinary young man in his early twenties cannot handle."
"First, his concealment of Fujimiya's identity was exposed, leading to his suspension from XIG, which meant he lost the support of the organization he had fought alongside; second, Dr. Inamori's death caused him immense psychological trauma, and the feeling of powerlessness as he watched life slip away tormented him; finally, Fujimiya's madness in awakening monsters worldwide pushed the entire world to the brink of destruction."
"All this complexity had long since overwhelmed High Self Dream. He was too tired and too angry."
"He needed an outlet, and he was also desperate to stop Fujimiya's runaway train. So, when he saw Fujimiya, his previously composed mindset completely collapsed."
"He didn't realize that it wasn't just a dream, but a direct hint from Earth to him. This precisely shaped a more real dream of his higher self—he had a divine mission, but he was first and foremost a human being with flesh and blood, emotions, and impulses."
"Next, let's talk about the essence of this battle: the clash between land and sea."
"I see people online arguing about whether the Light of the Earth or the Light of the Ocean is more powerful. Some even bring up the superficial logic that the ocean is larger than the land, so Agul is stronger than Gaia. But in reality, this kind of comparison is meaningless."
"In the setting of this drama, they are all the light of the earth. Agul of the sea gave birth to life, and Gaia of the earth gave life a place to stand."
"If we really want to compare them, we should start from these grand philosophical levels of life. We cannot live without any of them. For us, the power contained in the earth and the ocean is immense and extremely important."
"It is precisely because they each represent an indispensable part of the Earth's will that the consequences are devastating when these two forces collide completely due to their differing ideologies."
"And that last wormhole that opened in the sky! That's the most terrifying conspiracy of the Destruction Bringer! They were observing everything from the shadows, knowing that the conflict between Gaia and Agul was irreconcilable. So they were waiting, waiting for these two guardians of Earth to kill each other."
"When Gaia and Agul unleashed their ultimate attacks, the two powerful energies collided violently, and this energy, tearing through space, directly opened a massive spacetime portal for the Destruction Bringer!"
"Next up is the season one finale. We already have the precedent of Tiga and Dyna to learn from, so barring any unforeseen circumstances, the next episode will start with a hellish level challenge!"
In short, I hope Gaia Season 1 started strong and ended strong! May the finale deliver a truly spectacular audio-visual feast and conclude successfully!
