Chapter 234 Don't sacrifice the lives of all humanity to satisfy your saintly heart!
Chapter 234 Don't sacrifice the lives of all humanity to satisfy your saintly heart!
Asano covered her swollen cheek, completely stunned.
Her condescending logic of compassion was shattered by the deafening rant in my dream.
I ignored the woman who was obsessed and turned to run wildly towards the dam, braving the gale.
Just then, an extremely sharp engine roar came from the sky.
XIG's Lightning team has finally arrived on the battlefield!
"Lightning Two, Lightning Three! Form the Firebird formation and begin the incineration operation!" Captain Wei Weike calmly issued the order over the communication channel.
Three fighter jets drew extremely sharp arcs in the air, and incendiary bombs rained down on Anemos's huge and disgusting body.
The flames instantly engulfed it, and the ancient behemoth from 600 million years ago writhed in agony in the sea of fire, emitting extremely piercing cries.
What a cool formation! Overwhelming firepower is the true romance of men!
Surprisingly, the defense team didn't perform gua sha this time.
Incendiary bombs! Extremely effective!
Burn this disgusting intestinal monster to death!
However, before the people at the air base could even rejoice, a sudden change occurred!
The crustacean monster Craboga, rushing wildly down the river, charged powerfully towards Anamos amidst a hail of cannon fire.
To the astonishment of all the spectators, these two ancient creatures, which were originally completely unrelated, suddenly fit together perfectly like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle!
Combination complete!
The ultimate life form has been born!
"Continue the attack! Form a Delta formation!"
Director Di Cheng gave the order with a grim face.
But this time, Team Inazuma's triangular attack hit the combined monster without even a spark.
Physical defense and resistance were pushed to an extremely terrifying threshold after symbiosis!
Not only that, the combined monster's lower abdomen suddenly split open, spewing out extremely thick yellow smoke.
The smoke, carried by the wind, quickly enveloped the retreating KCB television trio and the Geo base's perimeter security personnel.
An extremely bizarre scene unfolded.
Mei Ze, Jing Ling, and Lun Wen, who had inhaled the smoke, instantly became vacant in their eyes. They put down their cameras and, like zombies, took stiff steps, actually lining up and walking towards the monster's gaping maw!
Holy crap! This yellow smoke can control the situation?!
[You think you can treat people like conveyor belt sushi?!]
[Friend! It's delicious!]
[The monster was starving for 600 million years, and its first meal was a buffet!]
[It's possible that the nature of this smoke's effect on humans is related to extinction-inducing entities, since there were no mammals in its era.]
"These are the hormones that attract food!" I dreamed, watching this scene from afar, and made a judgment instantly.
Just when things were at their most critical, Asano Mirai, who had been stunned by the attack, stumbled over.
Looking at the crowds lining up to die, she still refused to believe that the ancient creatures she empathized with could be so brutal.
"I don't believe it... I'm going to communicate with it!"
Asano charged towards Huang Yan like a madman, shouting, "I understand your sorrow, please stop!"
However, in the monster's eyes, there is no such thing as cross-species understanding, only fresh carbohydrates.
The monster's enormous tentacle swung down, heading straight for Asano!
"boom--!!!"
Accompanied by an extremely dazzling crimson light, the guardian of the earth crashed to the ground!
In the final tenth second, Ultraman Gaia shielded Asano behind him and delivered a powerful punch to the monster's chin, forcing it back.
Unlike the original work, Asano wasn't caught in the monster's trap here. After all, how could a monster's strength be so precise as to deliver a human to its mouth without harming them? That would be illogical.
Then, Gaia struck a pose.
The battle erupted instantly.
But this time, Gaia found itself in an extremely difficult and arduous battle.
The combined ultimate life form possesses unparalleled speed, strength, and defense.
There were no blind spots. What was even more terrifying was that its two heads could attack simultaneously, creating extremely unpredictable blind spots that made Gaia unable to defend against them, resulting in repeated setbacks.
Just as Gaia was struggling to hold on, the alarm from the air base blared shrilly throughout the command center.
"Commander! Countless extremely large life forms have suddenly appeared in the deep sea area of East Bay!"
Li Muzi's voice was filled with extreme panic.
On the big screen, countless red dots almost covered the entire bay!
Because of KCB's nationwide live broadcast, tens of millions of people became aware of Anemos's existence. That immense "observer consciousness" acted like a shot of adrenaline to the ghosts of the quantum realm, simultaneously reviving countless slumbering ancient monsters!
Once all these monsters land and complete their symbiosis, human civilization will be completely destroyed overnight!
The commander in the stone chamber stared intently at the screen, his face ashen, issuing no orders. Faced with such overwhelming numbers, any weapon humanity possessed was rendered useless.
【It's over! Utterly over!】
This is the real cataclysmic crisis!
So why weren't those reporters held accountable after causing such a huge mess?
This episode is full of incredible feats.
The attention of all humanity has ironically become a death sentence!
In a desperate situation, Gaia finally discovered the monster's fatal weakness in hand-to-hand combat.
Although the physical defense was maxed out, the energy fluctuations at the point where the two monsters joined were extremely chaotic!
Without any hesitation, Gaia forcefully created distance, spread his arms wide, and the quantum streamer struck the monster's waist precisely at the point where it was joined!
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, the two monsters were forcibly separated by this terrifying energy impact!
Immediately afterwards, Gaia slightly crouched down, and a bright red light emanated from its head.
The photon ice blade tore through the air, piercing through two opponents!
The two ancient overlords were completely blasted into dust.
After defeating the so-called ultimate life form, Gaia didn't even flash its lights.
This shows that the evolution of this creature is completely outdated...
Almost at the same time as the monster died.
"Commander, all the massive biological reactions in East Bay have disappeared!"
Li Muzi stared in disbelief at the radar, which had returned to normal.
"It seems they've returned to the microscopic world I described in my dream, where consciousness and matter are equal," Commander Ishimura said slowly, letting out a long sigh.
At dusk, by the river.
I dreamt of Asano Mirai, who was sitting alone on a rock, lost in thought.
"I finally understand..."
Asano gazed at the calm river, his voice filled with bitterness. "When I was little, my parents disappeared while conducting geological research in Mongolia. I've always felt that I was abandoned by them for their research. Just like... the dinosaurs were abandoned by the earth."
She turned her head, her eyes filled with a profound fear: "My dream, what if, in the distant future, humanity becomes like them, no longer needed by the Earth, turning into abandoned souls? What will we do then?"
I looked at her in my dream, my eyes extremely clear and firm: "Humanity will not be abandoned by the Earth."
Why are you so sure?
"Because, if Earth really intends to abandon humanity..."
I looked up at the incredibly beautiful sunset on the horizon, and thought, "The light of Ultraman will never appear again."
Then, I whispered to myself in my dream:
"If humanity is abandoned by Earth, then I will not obtain the Ultra Light!"
As this weighty line was spoken, the melodious end credits song slowly began to play.
Episode 8, End of Main Feature!
Countless viewers who had just undergone an ideological baptism spontaneously flocked to the forum, starting an extremely enthusiastic review and in-depth analysis of the plot.
[Guys, I just finished watching episode 8! The usually gentle Gamu actually pulled a personality-correcting move! I thought that was unique to Showa-era tokusatsu! This is definitely the right move!]
[After calming down and thinking about it, I realized that what Gu Laozei (Gu Laozei) was trying to express in this episode is definitely not as simple as it seems! Although Asano Mirai acted like a traitor, her last words were actually quite chilling upon closer examination. In Earth's 46 billion-year lifespan, countless species have gone extinct. Can humanity really guarantee that it will always be the "protagonist" of this planet?]
Indeed, the title of this episode, "The Souls of 4.6 Billion Years," doesn't refer to those two insects at all, but rather to all species that have been eliminated since the birth of Earth! Asano's extreme behavior stems from her projecting her resentment towards her parents for abandoning her onto ancient creatures. She fears that humanity will also be "eliminated" by Earth in the future.
[But her actions are outrageous! Forcing empathy for ancient creatures while sacrificing modern lives. It's like going up to a Tyrannosaurus Rex and saying, "I understand the pain of your extinction"—they'll just think you're incredibly polite. My dream's words are the logic of a normal person: We have no right to erase them, but we have an absolute reason to fight for survival!]
[KCB TV was truly outrageous in this episode. These three guys were incredibly skilled, risking their lives for an exclusive story. But by broadcasting the monster live, the sheer volume of viewers' consciousness caused the monster to materialize, almost waking up all the sea monsters in Tokyo Bay. They nearly wiped out humanity! A lose-lose situation!]
This is actually an extremely profound exploration of the "Fourth Estate"—the news media! Media exposure can trigger panic and disaster, but in Jingling's opening broadcast, it is precisely KCB that is conveying to the world that "Ultraman is the hope for protecting humanity." In fact, combined with the main theme, it can be argued that, in the face of despair brought by the annihilation entity, humanity also needs the media to spread light.
[The most brilliant part of this episode, in my opinion, was answering the question Fujimiya left us with in the previous episode. Fujimiya thought humanity was like cancer cells, deserving to be destroyed; Asano thought humanity was just passing through, destined to be eliminated sooner or later. But Imu gave the perfect answer: "If humanity should be abandoned, Ultraman wouldn't exist." The light chose humanity, proving that humanity is worth saving!]
[Not only that, brothers! Look at those two ancient monsters. After realizing they had reached their evolutionary limit, what did they choose? They chose "symbiosis"! Although they were still crushed by Gaia after merging, this actually contains the ultimate answer to Earth's survival!]
[Holy crap! Now that you mention it, it suddenly makes a connection! The monsters chose "symbiosis," so what's the future of humanity? It's "coexistence"! Humans can no longer recklessly destroy the Earth as before; humanity must find a way to coexist harmoniously with other species and the Earth's natural environment! That's the ultimate core theme that the series *Gaia* wants to explore!]
