So now the Yabo people have lost, and humans have kept their home planet.
"I also want to give it a try and fight to the last minute, because I'm a member of TAC."
Despite these passionate words, Konno used a calm voice.
"That's not something you would say. I thought you were possessed by Beidou."
Yamanaka had never seen Konno like this before, but he knew that this was the TAC team members. When it was really necessary, each of them would do the same thing.
"Should I say Amitabha? Haha, you can pray to gods and Buddhas at ordinary times, but when you really need it, gods and Buddhas are useless. The only one you can pray to is yourself."
Yamanaka was convinced. This was Konno's pride, a man's pride.
Then, at this moment, hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor. This place should have been evacuated, and there was no one else.
The one coming is Beidou.
"Beidou, didn't you hear the evacuation order? There's a bomb planted here, don't get in the way, leave now!"
"Bombs planted?"
Beidou saw Konno who was defusing the bomb.
"Is it okay?"
"It does matter. The bomb will explode in two minutes. We don't have time to defuse it all now. We can only try our best to reduce the damage."
But at this moment, Yamanaka saw the person who appeared behind Beidou. He was so surprised that he couldn't even speak, and not only him, but also Yoshimura.
Only Konno was busy defusing the bomb and had no time to pay attention to anything else.
Whether it was an alien or a super beast, Shan Zhong would not be so surprised. But what appeared in front of him at this moment was——
"Gaia?!"
It is Gaia, who is the same size as a human.
Konno felt someone patted his shoulder. He immediately realized that something was wrong and shook his hand to close the line.
The fire burst out - but it didn't. The fire from the bomb detonating did appear, but all the energy of the explosion was suppressed by a palm. Then Konno realized who appeared next to him.
"Gaia...Gaia!"
The light of Gaia condensed in the palm of his hand, forming a light shield facing inward. The energy that was enough to blow down the load-bearing walls of the building was compressed in the center, leaving behind an ionized ball that even burned the air, which subsided before it could spread.
It is no secret that Ultraman can become human-sized. In the archives of the Space Guard in the past, it was mentioned that Seven had become smaller many times, even smaller than bacteria, to destroy enemies that were invisible to the naked eye.
But knowing is one thing, and when Gaia really appears so close to you, it still gives you a strange feeling of being moved.
It was as if they were really teammates who could fight side by side.
Konno remembered the pat on his shoulder. He was touched by Gaia himself! The Giant of Light is an idol that no star can compare to for the TAC team.
What to do? He doesn’t plan to take a bath for a month.
The scene was filled with shock, but the bomb had been forgotten. As long as Ultraman appeared, all problems would not be a problem. They had already confirmed this.
Sure enough, Gaia clenched his fist and swung a ball of strange energy upwards.
The energy turned into a light curtain and descended. The next second, Gaia disappeared along with all the bombs.
There was a loud bang in the Meta area. All the bombs were not just the five or six that Yamanaka and Konno had seen before. There were also some hidden in more hidden corners, a total of more than ten.
More than a dozen bombs that lost their support and were triggered exploded at the same time.
The power was amazing, indeed enough to flatten the entire TAC building. But it could not shake the domain itself at all. Ling did not feel the slightest burden.
Compared with the energy of the supernova that almost broke the field, it was not even a firecracker.
Meta Field is too powerful, Ling also confirmed this once again, the practicality is simply perfect. The Ultraman Nexus who has this skill must be able to defeat the enemy very easily at ordinary times, right?
Whether it's a monster or a more powerful super beast, it must be easy to defeat. I really want to meet this hero who is active in the universe somewhere.
Chapter 172 Sphinx
Gaia disappeared into Meta's realm, taking all the bombs with her.
"Beidou, I remember your previous report. You met this woman when you were in the ruins, right? Why didn't you investigate her properly at that time? She almost destroyed our base headquarters."
If it weren't for Gaia, this place would have become a ruin long ago.
"But, I couldn't be sure at that time..."
"Appearing in the ruins of a pyramid, isn't that suspicious enough? Shouldn't he be detained for investigation? If he is proven innocent, then an apology or some compensation will do. Police detectives will do the same even if they catch a suspected thief. As members of the TAC, we are facing more vicious aliens. Shouldn't we be more rigorous?"
Yamanaka walked over to Beidou and looked at him seriously.
"You are willing to trust others, but sometimes we can't afford the price. This time it was Gaia who helped us, and we met a not-so-bright idiot. What should we do if we encounter such a thing next time? You should think about it carefully, Beidou."
The enemy's target was the V9 missile, but they attacked the TAC headquarters, which was not very smart. Even if you ask a common-sense passerby on the street, you should know that the TAC headquarters is so small that there is no military factory.
This was lucky for the TAC team, but even so, the headquarters almost had a building blown up. And they couldn't always hope that the enemy was stupid.
Beidou knew that what Yamanaka said was probably correct. Although he didn't like it, it was indeed because of his negligence that caused trouble for everyone this time.
"Wait, where is that woman?" Yamanaka suddenly exclaimed.
He was clearly in the corner just now, but because of Gaia's appearance, he was distracted for a moment and disappeared.
"Look out the window!"
Looking out the window, I saw a motorcycle heading out of the base, and the person driving the motorcycle was Dao Liu.
"That guy, I clearly knocked her out just now!"
Yamanaka was sure that he had hit the vagus nerve in the woman's neck, which controls breathing and digestion. In severe cases, it can even cause cardiac arrest or total cerebral ischemia and death. Yamanaka did not hold back, and most people would have fainted. I didn't expect the woman to wake up so quickly.
She is not from Earth.
"I'll report to the captain. V9's construction base must be better protected. Since we know that the pyramid is the enemy's lair, we should destroy it first!"
Ordinary weapons may not be useful, so let's use V9 missiles. I heard that some V9s have been manufactured, so it's a good opportunity to test the missile's true performance in actual combat. Of course, this is something that needs to be decided by the captain.
Gaia didn't reappear after disappearing, which made Konno a little disappointed, but there were more important things now.
Soon, the Eagle, carrying Airo and Cosmos, broke through the water from the bottom of the five lakes at the base of Mount Fuji and rose into the air. The target was the pyramid in Yamanashi Prefecture.
However, Dao Liu, who escaped from the base, had already arrived in front of the pyramid on a motorcycle.
Of course, motorcycles are not as fast as airplanes, but Goko is located at the border of Tokyo and Yamanashi, only about 20 kilometers away from the Pyramids. Compared with the TAC team members who need to report and prepare for takeoff, motorcycles are actually faster.
"I'm Dao Liu, I'm home, please open the door and let me in."
"Daoliu, your mission has come to an end."
The voice coming from the pyramid gave Dao Liu a bad feeling.
"what?"
"You didn't blow up V9, and you didn't complete the mission we assigned to you. I even doubt whether you did it on purpose. Do you feel sympathy for humans? Or are you just too stupid? We don't need idiots. Get out of here."
"But, but I am an Orion. Without the gas from Orion, I will die."
"Are you from Orion? Haha, then just go die and don't be an eyesore here."
Dao Liu wanted to say something else, but she found that the ground beneath her feet began to collapse. She quickly stepped back a distance to avoid falling into the depths of the cave. Something strange happened in the pyramid, and the whole building was shaking.
Dao Liu knew what it was, and her heart was filled with despair.
The TAC team's planes have appeared in the sky, and the huge air fortress covers the sky and the sun, just like the Kunpeng in the myth. But there is no hope of winning. Dao Liu knows what kind of monster the Orion is about to release.
The oldest human civilization once came into contact with the Orions and worshipped them as gods, thus giving rise to the belief in pyramids. There was also the patron saint of the pyramids recorded in mythology and legends, whose name was the Sphinx.
But in fact, it was not a guardian god, but a monster that invaded those civilizations when the Orions colonized alien planets.
"Captain, the target is just ahead."
"Alright, everyone, pay attention and prepare to attack. Also, Kiji, can you hear me?"
Captain Long used the communicator to contact Dr. Kiji at the base headquarters.
"This is Muji, I can hear you, Captain."
"How's V9, can it be launched now?"
Yamanaka and Konno had investigated the material of the pyramid before. It was not made of metal from Earth. The weapons on board the plane would probably have no effect. The only thing that could destroy the pyramid was V9.
"Some V9s have been manufactured, but there was no launch plan before. If we need to load them into the silo for launch now, it will take an hour to prepare."
The power of V9 is far higher than that of hydrogen bomb, and it has no radiation, and the killing range can be controlled in a very small area. As a weapon against super beasts, it is perfect. The only flaw is that humans cannot really mass-produce it.
The ballistic missile equipped with the V9 warhead needs to be launched from a missile base, and the preparation from loading to launching is very cumbersome.
"One hour is too long. We don't know what the enemy has in mind. To avoid any more trouble, please complete the launch within half an hour."
Cutting the time in half is simply absurd. Mu Kaji doesn't know if it can be done, but as a logistics staff, what he has to do is to fully cooperate with the needs of the front line. There is no unreasonable or impossible, just try your best.
"I understand, Captain. I'll try my best."
After the communication was cut off, the pyramid was already below the plane.
"Captain, look, there's someone over there!"
"Ah, it's her, Dao Liu, she is here after all." Yamanaka gritted his teeth. That guy not only teased Beidou, but also tried to blow up the TAC base, and finally escaped from him.
"Don't worry about her. Just attack like this. It's just right to blow her and the pyramid up into the sky together."
"In the mountains..."
"Why, Beidou, do you still want to plead for her?"
"No, that's not what I meant. It's just that there are some things I want to confirm with her in person, Captain?"
"What's the point of talking to an invader?"
Yamanaka said this, but Captain Long thought about it and nodded.
"Okay, you drive the Gaara to the surface. But remember, we don't have much time. Once I give the order to attack, you must evacuate immediately. Yamanaka, I think Beidou has his own ideas, and we should trust our team members."
The second half of the sentence stopped Shan Zhong, who was about to speak. Since it was the captain's order, he would of course obey it.
When Beidou saw Daoliu again, the woman was kneeling on the ground with lifeless eyes.
"Why are you here? Why didn't you go back or run away?"
"I can't go back. Where can I escape to?" Dao Liu looked at Beidou with a confused look, "You are here to kill me, right? I am an Orion, an invader of the Earth."
"No, you are from Earth."
