The light spot landed on the ground at an extremely fast speed, but it was not a super beast.
"Are you kidding me?"
“I’m so touched! It’s the first generation, our first generation!”
"Seven, Jack, and Zoffy! Ace is here too!"
It was the Ultra Brothers, the first generation, Seven, Jack, Ace and Zoffy, the five Ultra Brothers appeared in the city in an orderly manner. Their condition was not good, and everyone's energy lamp was wailing rapidly, but no one showed signs of weakness, even if they were holding on, they stood straight.
"Great, they're all okay!"
Dragon had always had reservations about launching missiles at the planet Gogda. Even though the headquarters was in the right and Commander Takakura's words were not something he could refute, these were not reasons for them to confidently fire at the Ultra Brothers.
Now seeing that the Ultra Brothers were fine, Long felt ashamed and relieved at the same time.
They are indeed like gods of war and will never be defeated by darkness.
The evacuation alert in Tokyo has been lifted. People are coming out of the shelters one by one, and when they look up, they see those familiar giants.
"It's the First Ultraman! Ultraman is back, the First Ultraman who saved me in Osaka Castle!"
"Seven! Seven, who was injured and left the earth before, is he feeling better now?"
"Jack - Brother Go Hideki!" It was Jiro Sakata who spoke. "Look, Sister Yumiko, it's Brother Go Hideki. He's really back this time!"
"Yes, it's really Xiangjun."
"Where's the super beast?"
"Where's the demon?"
Jack and Seven looked around. The city was in ruins, with traces of battle everywhere. But there were no Ultra Beasts, only Ultraman Gaia standing here.
"It seems we are a step too late. The Ultra Beast has been destroyed by our Earth Light." Zoffy said jokingly, putting down his fighting stance. Only after he was sure there were no enemies did he show his weakness.
The rest of the Ultra Brothers, except Ace who was slightly better, could not hold on. After being trapped on the planet Gogda for a week, almost all their energy was drained, and they had already reached their limit.
"Welcome back to Earth."
Gaia stepped forward and used the word "come back" because each of these Ultra Brothers had a deep bond with humans. Ling also learned from Beidou that they had fought bloody battles for the Earth and now considered it their second home.
Gaia thought about it, extracted some energy from the Earth's light, and passed it to the Ultra Brothers.
"This is the light of the Earth. I don't know if you can adapt to it."
The light of the Ultra Warriors all comes from the Spark Tower in the Kingdom of Light. When performing missions on Earth, some of their light can be supplemented from the stars - but there are some differences between the two after all, which is one of the reasons why the Ultra Warriors must return to the Kingdom of Light after guarding Earth for as short as one year and as long as two years.
Although the sunlight can be used by Ultra Warriors, it is not that pure after all. It can only replenish energy, but cannot warm the body and heal injuries like the light of the Spark Tower.
The light from the planet was still a first for the Ultra Warriors.
When the light entered their bodies, the Ultra Brothers unexpectedly discovered that the light from the Earth actually began to repair their scarred bodies. Although it was far from being comparable to the professional healing abilities of the Silver Crusaders of the Kingdom of Light, it was the effect of pure light without any healing skills, which was amazing.
"Perhaps it's because you consider this place as your second home that the Earth has accepted you."
Hearing Gaia say this, the Ultra Brothers looked at each other without answering, but a warm feeling welled up in their hearts.
"Oh, and this!" Gaia took the bracelet off his wrist and handed it to Jack. "Is this your weapon? I stole it from the super beast."
In fact, it should be said that it was tricked back. How could the Yabo people have imagined that the Ultra Bracelet from the Kingdom of Light could actually simulate an 'illusion'.
Jack felt a little embarrassed. He had lost his things. Not only did he not help the Earth this time, he only caused trouble. Now he had to ask others to return them.
But he had to refuse to accept it. If it was his personal thing and he gave it to Gaia, it would be fine, but the Ultra Bracelet was a weapon of the Kingdom of Light and did not belong to him personally. He had no right to decide its ownership.
"Sorry for the trouble." Jack smiled ashamedly and took the Ultra Bracelet.
"If it's convenient, please come to the Kingdom of Light next time. We Ultramen welcome you very much." Zoffy said. He used a respectful title because Gaia was different from ordinary Ultramen. She could be said to be the representative of a planet. In a way, it was similar to the Spark Tower in the Kingdom of Light, a symbol of civilization itself.
“I probably won’t be able to leave Earth.”
The Kingdom of Light is 300 million light-years away from Earth, and the diameter of the Milky Way is only 10 light-years. 300 million light-years is equivalent to the distance from the Milky Way to the nearest Andromeda Galaxy.
There is an endless void between the river systems, and this is where the Kingdom of Light is located. It is desolate and remote, with few celestial bodies, and even a speck of dust cannot be found within thousands of kilometers. Except for the quantum tides, it is almost an absolute void.
This is caused by the expansion of the universe. Going back in time with billions of years, this was once an active space. There were countless stars and planets, with active celestial motion, creation and destruction all the time.
But as time went by, the universe expanded, the distances between galaxies widened, and this place gradually became desolate. Even the natural stars belonging to the Kingdom of Light had gone out millions of years ago.
The boundless borderland, the Kingdom of Light can no longer return to the past, the planet with mountains and water. This is why there is an artificial star spark tower.
The 300 million light-year distance between the Earth and the Kingdom of Light is enough to stop the progress of most interstellar civilizations. It is a distance that cannot be crossed even if the civilization lasts for the entire time.
Even for Gaia, if it loses the replenishment of Earth's power, using wormholes to fold space and travel a long distance to the Kingdom of Light will exhaust all of Gaia's light.
At this time, Zoffy handed over a bracelet. Of course, it was not an Ultra Bracelet, but another ring bracelet with a shape similar to a flying bird.
"Please accept this."
"this is?"
"This is a token from Ultra Star, an invitation letter from our Kingdom of Light." Seeing Gaia hesitated and didn't take it, Zoffy explained, "Please rest assured, this is not a precious thing. It is a finished product mass-produced by the Science and Technology Bureau of our Kingdom of Light. It is presented to civilizations that are friendly to us."
After hearing this, Gaia took it. However, she found that this bracelet was not a simple "token", but contained extremely strong light energy.
"As you can see, this contains a small fragment of the flame from the Ultra Spark Tower. As an invitation, it is enough to provide energy for a round trip between Earth and the Kingdom of Light. When you are ready, we welcome you to visit the Kingdom of Light one day. Captain... not only the Captain, I think even the King of Ultra, everyone will welcome you."
This bracelet really doesn't have much technological content - at least for the Kingdom of Light. In terms of technical level, it is just a finished product that can be mass-produced by the Technology Bureau. But what Zoffy didn't say is that in the hundreds of thousands of years of history of the Kingdom of Light, there are actually less than five tokens given away like this.
What is truly precious about it is the fragment of the Spark Tower's flame that is preserved in it. Once it falls into the hands of the Dark Empire, it is likely to be used to study the core secrets of the Kingdom of Light.
This gift to Gaia is a testimony of friendship and the greatest trust.
"Then we should take our leave. Please take care of our brother Ace."
"Hey, hey, you said it the wrong way, didn't you?" Ace said dissatisfiedly.
But Zoffy, the First Generation and the others ignored him. The four Ultra Warriors flew into the sky together and headed towards the distant Land of Light.
Chapter 51 Medal o Nexus
At night, the TAC team held a celebratory banquet at the headquarters.
Not only did they defeat the Ultra Beasts and protect the Earth, but also because Hokuto Seiji actually came back alive.
"It was really scary. Beidou, Nan Xizi was so sad at that time, 'Please leave, Beidou-kun doesn't need your military salute!' You don't know, at that time Team member Nan yelled directly at Commander Takakura. It was completely different from her usual self. I was shocked. After hearing the bad news, she ran to the dormitory crying alone." Konno said with a smile, imitating Nan Xizi's words at that time. Not to mention, the tone was really lifelike.
Beidou was a little embarrassed. He knew the truth. The so-called hiding in the dormitory by himself was actually because Nan Xizi had used the light left by Gaia as a link to come to Gaogeda Star to meet him. But this was a secret between the two of them.
"Speaking of which, you are really lucky to be rescued by Ultraman Ace and brought back to Earth. I dare say, although everyone has the experience of riding on a spaceship, you are the only one among us who has been taken by Ultraman to travel through the universe. Tell me, how does it feel?" Yamanaka patted Beidou's shoulder. He was a little envious. If he had insisted on driving the rocket at that time, maybe he would be the one enjoying the 'Ultraman Express'.
"Ah? Oh, I was in a ball of light. Actually, I didn't feel anything, and then I returned to Earth." Hokuto Seiji said half-truthfully.
“Even so, it’s still enviable.”
"Okay, Konno, Yamanaka, Beidou is tired too, stop pestering him and let him rest for a while."
Ryugoro spoke, and Konno and Yamanaka stopped talking and let Beidou go.
"We humans have failed the Ultra Warriors again this time. Fortunately, Zoffy and the others are safe, otherwise the Defense Force and the TAC Team would have to bear an indelible guilt. If you have the chance to meet Ace again, please convey this apology to the Ultra Brothers."
Beidou was about to say that he couldn't see Ace again, but when he saw Captain Long's serious expression, he changed his words.
"I understand. If there is a chance, I will definitely express my apology."
Humanity does owe the Ultra Warriors a debt. Even though the Sublight Speed 7 rocket did not actually harm the Ultra Brothers, and the destruction of Gogda Planet was ordered by the Yabo people themselves, the decision to launch the rocket itself may become a barrier between humanity and the Ultra Brothers.
Fortunately, Ace, that is, Hokuto Seiji himself was an eyewitness. He understood the weight of that decision, so he did not blame Captain Long or even Commander Takakura. Because as a human being, it was indeed the only choice in that situation.
Being weak is the original sin. Because we are weak, we do not even have the right to choose kindness.
Humanity has already sacrificed too much. Not to mention Baraba before, the Ace killer that appeared on Earth today was eliminated by Gaia in time, but it still caused a lot of casualties.
Specium Rays and Aimerim Rays, these were the tricks that the Ultra Brothers used to destroy the big monsters, but they were used to attack the city. In just a few minutes before Gaia appeared, several blocks were turned into a sea of fire. The exact casualty report was not forwarded to the TAC team, but everyone knew that it must be another shocking number.
"There are so many more people injured and dead, and houses destroyed."
I don’t know how many people are homeless.
"That's not your fault, young lady." Jianye in the driver's seat comforted her, "Young lady, you have done enough. Every human being must thank you. I think even those who died would be grateful, after all, you protected their living relatives."
Is this really the case? Ling didn't know. She didn't care whether people were grateful or not, but whether she could do better.
Unlike the past, she is needed by everyone now, and she feels the value of her existence. She is no longer the little girl who was scared and cried in the dark in the brightly lit villa. Jianye said that she brought light to people. But on the contrary, it was those who needed her who pulled her out of the darkness.
She felt that she was needed and her existence was no longer dispensable. She felt that she was the one who was saved.
The car stopped on the lawn outside the house. Ling got out and went back to the bedroom and opened the drawer.
There are piles of 'Ultra Medals' inside, but none of them have been unlocked yet.
After defeating Baraba, she had been able to choose the next medal to unlock. But she couldn't make up her mind. She didn't know any of these Ultra Warriors except the five Ultra Brothers she met today. Among the remaining medals, there was no one that made her feel like she had to choose like Aguru.
It turns out that Aguru is indeed the most suitable for her, which is the missing part of Gaia. How to choose the next medal?
This matter originally made Ling hesitate for several days, but she made a decision today. In fact, it was a simple message that the Light of Gaia just conveyed to her.
Ling also took out a medal from the drawer.
That was a warrior in black and red.
[Nexus (Red Adult Form) Medal]
The reason why she chose this medal was because when she had the idea of reducing some damage to the city, the Light of Gaia gave her the name of a skill.
"Meta Field? What is that?"
Gaia did not answer her mumbling, but only let her know that this skill might be able to reduce the damage to the city during the battle. It could protect the city and more people from being affected by the war, but the price was that she would have to bear the aftermath of the battle herself.
For Lingye, this was exactly what she needed, so she no longer hesitated.
Nexus is obviously not ordinary among many Ultra Warriors. His unlocking requirement is much higher. I remember it was 180 before, 60 more than ordinary warriors. Now because of the increase in unlocking requirements each time, it has become 200. It is twice the amount of unlocking Jack's Medal at the beginning!
However, because she did not choose the medals that needed to be unsealed when she eliminated Baraba and Ace Killer, some of the unsealing points were saved. After she selected the unsealing target, the unsealing degree soared instantly.
It was indeed a surge, because with just two super beasts, her unlocking degree reached 68 points in one go.
[Nexus (Red Adult Form) Medal
Energy reserve: 0/230 (recovery of 0.002 per second, temporarily blocked)
Sealed, unlocking degree: 68/200 (34%)]
Obviously, both Baraba and Ace Killer are the top-level Ultra Beasts in the hands of the Yabo people. The degree of unlocking given to them is far higher than that of ordinary Ultra Beasts, and their strength is indeed worthy of this evaluation.
As the degree of unlocking increased, the appearance of the Nexus Medal changed significantly. The plastic turned into a hard crystal texture, and the Ultra Warrior inside began to become three-dimensional. When she met his eyes, it was just a video, but Ling felt as if she really saw an Ultra Warrior standing in front of her.
He was a strong warrior who had experienced many battles. Although Ling didn't know him, she could feel it clearly.
