Ling also silently said something to the two Ultra Warriors in the medal. Although it was unknown whether the medal could hear it, the two Ultra Warriors in the medal that looked like three-dimensional holographic images still stood upright.
She was fine, and she could hold on. At least she was in a much better condition than Apsalar. And the other person also insisted on singing her song. As a singer, Apsalar was a professional.
Next was the rehearsal of Reiya's single, then Sakura's single, and finally the chorus.
Although Ling had practiced singing a cappella before, this was her first time singing on stage with accompaniment. At Mr. Takasu's reminder, Ling walked towards the stage.
Apsalar's eyes met Lingye's again. The first time he avoided her intentionally, the second time he showed hidden hostility, this time, Apsalar's feelings were even more complicated.
Ling also suddenly discovered that sometimes the eyes can really show a fan-shaped diagram, but she is not a very good expression reader and can't distinguish and understand it carefully. So she just nodded and walked to the marked position that should be the center of the stage (because the stage has not been set up yet, it is actually still a basketball court at this time)
"The spotlight will be on this spot. There will be signs on the floor of the stage, so pay attention and just step on them. But you can interact with the audience and walk around while singing. Because there are no dancers, there are no strict requirements for movement. Give some signals in advance, and the lighting engineer will adjust the lights to follow you."
Ling also nodded, indicating that she understood Takasu's reminder.
"Are you ready?"
The person who asked the question was the cameraman. Although it was just a rehearsal, they still arranged for the camera to be filmed. We can review it later to see if there are any omissions, or use it as a behind-the-scenes video of the concert.
Ling also nodded.
"Ready, five, four" the photographer read two notes, and the next three countdowns became hand gestures to prevent his voice from being picked up by the microphone. When he retracted his outstretched finger to indicate "zero", the accompaniment on the speakers sounded at the right time.
Lingye had listened to the accompaniment on tape before, but the feeling of playing it live in the open stadium was completely different. It was as if she was standing in the center of the world. She was a little nervous, but at the same time, she found that she liked this feeling very much.
In her previous life, she had never tried it. Maybe she really liked the stage and the feeling of being in the spotlight. Is it vanity? I don't deny it, but it is a girl's right to be vain. The difference is that some people are "conceited" and some people are really beautiful.
I just hope I can be the latter.
Thinking of this, Ling also bit out the first note at the right time after the prelude ended.
[At a moment of chance, I met your eyes. I will always remember the happy heartbeat, and then I fell in love with this season with soft colors, just like you who shone brightly that day.]
"It's unexpectedly good." Takasu Production said in surprise in the audience.
With the passionate beats of the drums and electric guitar, the girl's voice exudes a vibrant atmosphere, which makes people's hearts jump for joy unconsciously.
Everyone has times of failure and pain. Life is not a fairy tale, and you will encounter expected and unexpected setbacks at any time. Whether it is a small setback or a major disaster such as birth, aging, illness and death, when it is supposed to come, it will come and there is no way to avoid it.
There is only one thing we can do -
Try to take one more step forward, one more effort.
How should I describe this song? It doesn't have any clichés that make people work hard. At first listen, you might even think it's about love. But perhaps it's the exciting rhythm, or the indomitable feeling in the girl's voice that makes people's hearts move - just a little bit, but a little bit is enough.
Just one more step.
[Don't give up, try a little harder, and try to make it to the end. No matter how far apart we are, our hearts will always be together, chasing the distant dream.]
[Don't give up, look over there, the finish line is getting closer and closer. ]
Apsalar was a little dazed.
"Hey, that little girl sings very well." Lian praised from the side, but Apsalar did not hear it.
Don't give up. She doesn't want to give up either.
Watching life sprout from embryos, nurturing for hundreds of millions of years, countless species becoming extinct, and more being born, sparks of wisdom appearing in the wilderness, and the ancestors working hard and overcoming difficulties, step by step creating the miracle of civilization. Along the way, they and she have long been integrated.
But can she still try? How can she take a step forward? Her planet is in the other dimension of Yabo, and the civilization is fed and exploited by the Yabo people. As a colonial civilization, it has become the nourishment for the Yabo people to become stronger. They have long lost themselves. How can she resist?
She had no other options! Really, really, there was no other options!
“Humans can pray to gods when they are at their wits’ end, but who should gods pray to when they are at their wits’ end?”
She is the will of the planet, but at this point, she can no longer protect anyone.
"Is there really nothing we can do?"
At that time, Gaia——Ling also looked at her like that.
"Try your best to the end, and persevere to the end. When all methods and strength are exhausted and nothing can be done - at that time, the warriors of light will come."
"So, are you willing to make an effort?"
If you give up on yourself, Ultraman will never appear. This is true for humans, and it is also true for Spica's life.
The Giants of Light will not interfere with the choices of civilization. They are the light of hope that only appears when a civilization has fought to the very end and is helpless but still unwilling to give up.
Can she take another step?
"I...I don't want to give up either. Gaia, Ace, the legendary Kingdom of Light, anyone, please, save my planet and the lives on it."
Apsalar closed his eyes.
The rehearsal took a whole morning and went very well.
Reiya, Tomoyo, and Sakura all performed better than Takasu Productions expected, and the performance was unexpectedly good. In particular, Tomoyo and Reiya's voices were good enough to debut as new singers.
"Well, please work hard from now on. I have a feeling that you may have more than one concert in the future."
"Thank you very much, Takasu Productions."
Takasu Production and the staff left one after another, but Ling did not leave either.
"Aren't you leaving, Lingye?" Tomoyo asked.
"Well, there's still some stuff to do. You guys go first."
It had just rained heavily, but now the wind and rain had stopped, and the sky outside the gymnasium had become bright again. The air was filled with the unique fragrance of grass and soil after the rain.
Tomoyo was a little worried, but didn't say much.
"Then, Lingye, please be more careful."
Sakura was a little confused, but she also said "be careful".
Apsalar also did not leave with the band's car. He just said "I have some private matters" and said goodbye to Lian and the band members.
"Have you decided yet?"
Hearing Ling say this, Apsalar hesitated a little, but finally nodded seriously.
"I know the coordinates of the Yawa people's alternate dimension. I'll take you there."
Hokuto and Minami came over from the corner of the gym, where they had always been.
The coordinates of the other dimension where the Yabo people are located. This is the information that the TAC team and Ace wanted to obtain at the beginning of the Yabo invasion. The despicable people from other dimensions always hide behind the scenes. The dimensional sea is endless. Without clues, even Ace is at a loss. The TAC team is even more helpless.
This time finally——
Ace realized that the time for the final battle with the Yawa people had come.
If possible, now is not a good time to fight the Yabo people. Lingye's Nexus and Aguru Medal have exhausted their light energy, which means that Gaia cannot transform into V2 form and cannot use Meta Field.
As for Ace, he had just used the "Ace Barrier", which consumed Beidou's physical strength. Fortunately, his physical strength was better than Nan Xizi's, and he did not fall into a coma immediately, but it was still very difficult for him to fight again.
But they all knew that this was their only chance.
If she knew that Apsalar had rebelled, her planet would be destroyed by the Yabo people at any time. Moreover, if the coordinates of the Yabo people's nest in the other dimension were leaked, they would choose to evacuate at any time.
Neither Ultraman nor the Yabo were prepared for the encounter. The timing of the decisive battle came too abruptly.
But there is no choice.
"Do you want to report to the headquarters?" Nan Xizi asked.
Bokuto nodded, "Of course, this is Ace's battle, but it is also a battle for mankind. But I think that the contact to the headquarters should not be made in our name."
15:20, it was an ordinary afternoon, no one expected it to be the day of the decisive battle
TAC Team Headquarters
"Captain, the cosmic radiation that had gathered over Tokyo has disappeared, but we just received a strange signal." Noriko put down her headphones and turned around to report to Captain Long.
"Strange signal? Can you parse the source?"
"The location cannot be resolved. It seems to be from space, but it uses a translatable plain text. The content is being printed."
"Was it transmitted through our secret channel? Who knows the secret communication channel of the TAC team?"
"Could it be the Yawa people?" Yoshimura joked. With the Yawa people's technology, it would be easy for them to crack human communication facilities.
"Ha, what news can the Yabo people send us? Is it a declaration of war?"
Speaking of declaring war, the war has been going on for almost a year.
"The information has been printed out." Noriko walked towards the conference table in the center of the command room with the printed paper. She took a look and said in surprise, "This is the dimensional coordinates where the Yabo people are hiding!?"
"what?"
"You're kidding, where did this come from?"
"There's a signature on the back, and the signature is, ah, it's Ultraman Ace!"
Chapter 158: TAC, All-out Attack
“Is the information true?”
"The coordinates of the Yabo people? That's incredible."
The whole command room was in an uproar. Everyone rushed to look at the printed paper that Noriko handed to Captain Long. An ordinary A4 paper became as heavy as a thousand pounds.
It was incredible. Who would have thought that on this ordinary afternoon, with no aliens or super beasts, such heavy information would suddenly come from nowhere. The signature was actually Ace.
"But, could this be a trap set by the Yabo people? They want to catch us all in one fell swoop."
The question raised by Yamanaka is indeed not impossible.
"Besides, how could Ultraman Ace know the channel of our TAC team's internal communication?"
Captain Long's heart was moved when he heard this. No, Ultraman Ace did know.
"Noriko, contact Beidou and Nan and ask about their current situation."
"Okay." Noriko didn't doubt him. She called several times through the communicator but got no answer.
"Captain, Beidou and Nan can't be contacted."
"Where were they before?"
"Yes, half an hour ago, a large amount of cosmic rays appeared in the sky above Tokyo Central Park, so Beidou and Nandu went to check it out. The cosmic radiation has disappeared now, but they did not contact the headquarters."
Captain Long probably had an idea in his mind.
"I think Ace's information is credible. Ace can indeed contact our TAC team's encrypted channel, and I gave him the contact information."
"The captain gave it to me?" Konno asked in surprise, "So, Captain, you can contact Ultraman Ace?"
