She was so tired that her hands felt like they no longer belonged to her.
Although it can evolve into V2 form, that form can only be maintained for one and a half minutes. If you use it without knowing the enemy's strengths, if you fail to defeat the enemy, you will be in trouble.
It is so powerful that one needs to be more respectful when using it. It can only be used as a killer weapon.
The smoke from the missile explosion dissipated, and the super beast staggered a little.
It seems to be working. Has the TAC team's weapons become stronger?
Even Yamanaka, who launched the missile, was a little confused. Seeing how Gaia fought the opponent before, he thought that this super beast would be more powerful.
Lingye also realized this. Then she suddenly understood.
It’s not that the super beast is very strong, but that I have become weaker?
Yes, at the beginning, she and the Ultra Beast were evenly matched. Since when did she become so weak?
"Listen to me, don't you think this super beast is a little familiar?" Yoshimura, the gunner of the Eagle, said, "It has a bird's beak, frog-like limbs, and a swimming pool on its head. If you think of that thing as a basin-"
"Ah, you mean Kappa?" Because Yoshimura was speaking on the public channel of the communicator, Konno, who was driving the Black Panther, also heard it, and he replied in surprise.
"Yes, isn't that a kappa?" Yoshimura is a biologist who also studies folklore. "In ancient legends, a kappa will be extremely powerful as long as there is water in the basin on its head. But if the opponent is splashed by the water on its head, it will lose its strength."
Look at the battle between Gaia and Ultra Beast. When they were fighting each other, the water above Ultra Beast's head flew everywhere and had already splashed all over Gaia.
"I see. So Gaia has been tricked by this super beast!"
"But it's so strange, how did the Yawa people create Kappa Ultra Beast?"
Super beasts are combat weapons cultivated by the Yabo people using creatures existing on Earth and space monsters. In the past, super beasts were made from creatures such as pigeons, cacti, fireflies, and moths. These can be understood.
But isn't Kappa a thing of legend? Where did the Yabo people get the sample from? Could it be that Kappa really exists in this world?
"You don't care how it created the Ultra Beast. Gaia has fallen into the trap. We need to tell Ultraman about this immediately!"
"But how do I tell him?"
They were on the plane, could they use the communicator to contact Gaia? But Gaia didn't know their channel either.
In fact, they didn't need to tell her specifically. With Gaia's hearing, she could hear clearly even if they were more than a thousand meters away, even if it was just a few words in a closed plane.
So my previous guess was correct, I have indeed become weaker.
The water on the Chao Beast's head kept splashing everywhere. If it was a Kappa, it would be finished once the water dried up. But the water on the Chao Beast's head could not dry up. It was not because the water was endless, but because the 'water' itself was the Chao Beast's weapon. Even after splashing everywhere, it could be retracted at will.
I didn't even notice it before, it turns out I have too little experience.
Since I can't get close, I'll attack from a distance.
Ling also did not plan to use Gaia's own light energy, but chose to try using the skills in the Ultra Medal.
[Ultra Medal Jack——Speisium Ray]
Gaia crossed his arms, but the light did not come out. After rescuing Kangfu, Ling finally saw where her missing sister and neighbor's child were.
"Help—help me—"
Zenta, Jiro, and Yasuo's sister were actually in the "swimming pool" above the monster's head! In order to keep them from drowning as hostages, Yawa put life jackets on the three of them and let them sink and float in the pool water.
"Despicable! Ultra Beast actually used hostages!"
Regardless of whether it is despicable or not, it is not the first time that the Yabo people have taken hostages. It certainly won't be the last.
Because the other side had hostages, Gaia could not attack easily, and the TAC team's missiles naturally had to be shut down.
But the super beast did not stop, it sprayed water mist from its mouth, which was the same substance in the pool above its head. Gaia dodged backwards, but the TAC team's plane could not dodge.
The water mist rubbed against the fuselage of the Cosmos, causing corrosion to the aircraft, fuel in the tank began to leak, and a fire broke out in the air.
"Ah, it's Nan and Beidou, their plane was hit!"
The half wing of the Cosmos that was hit was completely corroded, and the entire fuselage lost balance and spun towards the ground. This kind of falling posture is impossible even for parachuting.
The two people in the plane had no intention of parachuting. Because the cabin was spinning at high speed due to loss of control, ordinary people would probably faint from the centrifugal force under such circumstances, but Beidou and Nan were professionally trained and could still stay awake. At this time, the two of them held hands together.
The Ultra Ring had already started flashing a minute ago, they just hadn't found the right time to transform. And now was the time.
At this moment, a flash of light appeared in the sky.
"It's Ace, Ultraman Ace is here!"
Ace appeared in mid-air, caught the severely damaged Cosmos and placed it on the grass on the ground.
Of course, there was no one inside the plane, and it was too badly damaged to be worth salvaging. But if it crashed and exploded, Beidou and Nan would have a hard time explaining how they survived.
Ace and Gaia nodded to each other as a greeting. This was not the first time they had worked together.
Ace walked towards the Ultra Beast.
"It has hostages—"
"I know, leave it to me." Ace said.
Ace's voice seemed to have a magical power that could easily put people at ease. It was as if he would not panic no matter what he faced. Is this the Ultra Warrior of the Space Guard?
Ling also knew that this was what she lacked. She didn't have such courage, and she was at a loss when faced with unexpected situations. She was just a girl who accidentally obtained the power of Gaia.
Ace stood still several dozen meters away from Chao Beast. Chao Beast wanted to spray water mist at Ace, but at the same time, Ace stretched out his hands and put them together.
A huge suction force appeared out of nowhere, and all the mist sprayed by the super beast was sucked into Ace. No one knew what the principle of this skill was, but the mist was completely sucked into Ace's body.
Not only the mist, but also the water in the pool above the monster's head was like a tornado sweeping across the sea, creating a 'dragon sucking water' phenomenon. All the water in the 'pool' was swept up and gathered towards Ace's hands, including the three people in the pool, who were also sucked in by the water flow and caught in Ace's palms.
"That water is a super beast's weapon. It's very dangerous!"
Gaia said. Ace knew it without her reminder, but he still used his body to contain the "water". It was not that it had no effect on Ace's body. Ace's energy light had already started to flash as soon as he appeared. This was a sign of a large amount of energy consumption.
It was not the water-absorbing skill that consumed energy, but Ace's use of his own body as a container to absorb the "water", which continued to destroy Ace's body.
Judging from Ace's calm demeanor, he had probably already made this decision before transforming.
Since Chao Beast can't bend down, he will break the plate!
The strange water of the super beast, just a little bit of it, will make people lose their strength. But Ace swallowed it all into his body. You can imagine how painful it was.
If someone threatens with a knife, he will use his body to block the knife. If someone lights a fire, he will use his body to put it out. He does not hesitate to do such self-harming behavior. Are all Ultra Warriors like this?
"Quick, destroy the super beast!"
Ling knew, of course, that it was because Ace trusted her and believed that she could end this battle.
So she did not continue to use the Spesium Ray in the medal, but transformed into V2 form in the light.
Quantum streamline!
The first move was Gaia's strongest skill, without reservation.
Chapter 134 Nexus
At that moment, the bright light almost lit up the entire night sky.
Quantum Streamline is Gaia's strongest skill, and she has specially transformed it into V2 form to increase the intensity of the light several times.
This was a blow that even Baraba could not withstand, and the Kappa King was torn into pieces in the light without any surprise. The remaining light scattered into the night sky after tearing apart the super beast, streaking across the dark night sky with colorful brilliance, breaking through the atmosphere and entering the depths of the universe.
Seeing the super beast being destroyed, Ace knelt down on one knee, protecting the three rescued earthlings with one hand and supporting his body with the other hand. Absorbing the liquid on the kappa's head, the damage he suffered was much greater than he had revealed before.
This was natural, Gaia only lost her power after being slightly contaminated, but Ace deliberately took it all into his body.
Ace placed the three rescued children next to Konno, who had gotten off the Black Panther patrol car from the TAC team, and then his huge body faded and disappeared.
Gaia glanced at the place where Ace disappeared, and then flew into the sky.
Night once again covered the ruins of the villa.
The next morning, in the TAC team command room.
Last night's battle was really confusing. After the TAC team received the report of the appearance of the Ultra Beast, Gaia and Ace appeared one after another and directly destroyed the Ultra Beast.
Because they had not participated in any prior investigation, they could be said to know nothing about the super beast.
The battle was over, but Captain Long did not think it could just be left alone, so he ordered an investigation. After one night, the preliminary results of the investigation came out.
"So, the villa actually collapsed fifty years ago and has been in ruins ever since?"
"Yes. Actually, it is..."
"But wait a minute!" Yamanaka interrupted Noriko who was reporting, "Yesterday, Beidou and I received the report from that kid and went to investigate. We also asked the neighbors around, and they all said they knew the Zhoushan couple. They said they had lived there for many years."
That's why they concluded that the kid named Kangfu was lying.
"That's the problem. After the super beast was destroyed yesterday, we once again visited the people around us, and they all said they didn't know the so-called 'Zhoushan' couple."
"What does this mean?" Captain Long asked Dr. Mukaji who was also listening nearby.
"It's like a horror movie." Konno whispered, but no one paid attention to him. The mission of the TAC team is to find scientific evidence for all the strange events. People like Konno who keep saying Amitabha all day long don't really look like TAC members.
"I think it should be mass hypnosis." said Dr. Kiji.
"Mass hypnosis?"
"Yes, although the principle is still unclear, the Yabo people should have mastered the technology to inject false information into the human brain."
"Isn't this too scary? If the Yabo people instill in everyone on Earth the information that they are slaves of the Yabo people, how can we fight?"
"Yes, so I think this technology must have some limitations. For example, it only changes a certain subconscious mind, but cannot affect normal thinking. It only makes people vaguely feel that there really are people like the 'Zhoushan couple', but it does not involve more detailed matters. Once it conflicts with the main consciousness, it will immediately wake up."
"For example, if you inject a subconscious thought into my mind that I owe Yamanaka money, but I don't want to pay it back, then I will immediately realize that I don't owe any money at all?" Yoshimura gave an example.
"Yoshimura, what do you mean? Are you going to pay back the eight hundred dan you asked me to borrow last month?"
"But why do I feel like I didn't borrow any money? Otherwise, why is my wallet still empty? You must have hypnotized me, Yamanaka?"
"You bastard! Didn't I give you the money to buy a birthday present for your girlfriend? Oh, that's fine, your wedding is next year, right? When you get married, this will be considered as a gift money, and I won't give you any more gift money."
"Ah, that's two different things. How can you only give 800 Dan as a share..."
Ignoring the two's farce, Captain Long nodded, "So the kid named Kangfu did see the Ultra Beast with his own eyes at first, so hypnosis had no effect on him."
"This should be."
"And what's the purpose? The Yabo people mobilized a large force to hypnotize everyone in a neighborhood and hid a super beast. What's the purpose?"
"It's not clear yet. But Captain, don't you find it strange? The super beasts that invaded the Earth in the past were all transformed by the Yabo people using existing creatures on Earth. But this time the super beast is obviously a kappa. Where on Earth did a kappa come from?"
Although there have been many news reports of so-called kappa sightings in the past, such as Zuiryuji Temple in Osaka and Matsuura Sake Brewery in Saga Prefecture, which both claimed to have collected kappa mummies, in fact they were just fakes to attract attention.
Captain Long certainly didn't know the reason.
