Captain Long thought that Beidou was the most impulsive, but he didn't expect it to be Yamanaka.
The plane opened fire directly above the super beast, and all the ammunition poured into the monster's head. Whether it was the tentacles or the nose, since they were the monster's weapons, they were probably also its weaknesses.
Just as the weakest point of a tank is definitely the barrel, the same is true for all weapons.
But Yamanaka miscalculated, and the ammunition did pass through the monster's body, but it still had no effect. Not only that, the atmosphere in the air was suddenly stirred, and a vortex formed by the huge airflow, and the Universe 1 driven by Yamanaka seemed to be sucked into a washing machine, and it was completely out of control.
"Oh no, skydive!"
Yamanaka and Yoshimura ejected from the cockpit one after another, but even so, they did not dare to open their parachutes in the air. In such a vortex airflow, opening the parachute would be fatal.
Even without opening the parachutes, the height of the two people's bodies did not decrease, but instead increased.
This is an extreme environment that challenges the limits of the body. The extremely cold air at high altitudes and the huge pressure difference make it impossible for anyone to stay awake in such a situation. Once you pass out in the air, there will be no other outcome.
Beidou and Nan witnessed their comrade's danger and they glanced at their respective rings at the same time.
But unexpectedly, the ring did not sparkle.
Chapter 178 The Lost Light
Beidou and Nan Xizi are each wearing a Galactic Federation ring.
The Galactic Federation is not the Kingdom of Light, but an alliance of multiple rule-side civilizations, born during the Galactic War. Relatively weak civilizations united to resist the invasion of darkness.
The Kingdom of Light is not a member of the Galactic Federation, but Ace is. In a war many years ago, Ace once fought against the Dark Army for the Galactic Federation. The Federation was grateful and awarded him the title of honorary member as a token of friendship.
These two rings are the tokens of the members of the Galactic Federation. After coming to Earth, Ace divided his light energy into two and placed them in the two rings respectively.
So the federal ring became a transformation device. Once Beidou and Nan combined the two rings into one, they would be restored to giants of light through the aggregation of energy.
But this time, the ring did not flash. It was the first time they encountered such a situation, and Beidou and Nan could not understand it, but the situation was already very urgent. So regardless of why Ace did not give a signal, the two held hands together.
One second, two seconds, nothing happened.
The ring doesn't work!
[Don't think about becoming Ace again]
"What?" Beidou heard the voice that almost sounded in his ear. "Yuko, did you hear it?"
Nan Xizi nodded, she heard it too.
At first, they thought it was the voice of the monster. The monster can indeed speak, and it had previously asked the Earthlings to hand over Ace.
But after careful observation, they don't seem to be similar.
"Who are you exactly?"
[Who am I? You don't need to know. You just need to understand that Ace can't protect humans, and of course Gaia is the same. You can't defeat my monsters, and this planet can only belong to me.]
Ace can't be defeated, and Gaia can't be defeated either. Of course, Beidou is not willing to admit this. But it is a fact that he can't transform at this moment. Universe 1 has fallen, Yamanaka and Yoshimura are in danger, and he and Minami Shiko can't do anything.
[Is this the TAC team? Is this the highest technology of mankind? ]
The monster spoke again, and then Beidou and Nan were sure that the voice that just sounded in their ears was indeed not from this monster. It was more likely to be the person standing behind the monster.
But how could they stop Ace from transforming? If they couldn't even transform, they wouldn't even be qualified to go to the battlefield.
"Captain, use V9!" In the cockpit of the Eagle, Konno asked Captain Long.
"no!"
"But..." Can we tolerate the TAC team being underestimated like this?
"The situation is still unclear. We still don't know what this monster is. Using V9 rashly will lead to disaster."
Of course, V9 can be used. In a truly dangerous situation, this is the role of a killer. But the premise is that you must find out the details of the enemy. If you use it carelessly, V9 will lose its meaning as a killer.
If V9 fails to destroy the enemy, it will be a devastating blow to the confidence of the human side, and even discordant voices will appear. For example, they really demanded that Ace be handed over.
"Not good, Yamanaka and Yoshimura!"
As the airflow began to weaken, Yamanaka and Yoshimura began to fall. However, their parachutes did not open. They probably passed out due to the lack of oxygen in their lungs caused by the air pressure and the severe cold, and it was impossible for them to open their parachutes on their own.
In desperation, Beidou and Nan Xizi held hands again.
The light flickered, and the light in the sky turned into a giant, which steadily caught Yamanaka and Yoshimura.
"Great, it's Gaia! Gaia is here!" Konno cheered.
Looking at Gaia who appeared, Beidou breathed a sigh of relief, and then let go of Nan Xizi's hand with disappointment.
As a result, they still couldn't combine into one Ultraman, and they didn't even know what was going on.
The monster was so huge that even Gaia, the Giant of Light, was only knee-high in front of it and had to look up. Gaia did not attack immediately because she felt something strange and different.
[Gaia, now is not the time for us to fight. Don't worry, first of all, Ace, then we can discuss our terms.]
"What do you mean 'not the right time'? You are the ones who are destroying the Earth. Do you still want to pretend to be a peacemaker?"
[Peacemaker? That's a good suggestion. If you are willing, I may become a peacemaker. The Earth is such a beautiful planet, Gaia, and so are you as the will of the planet. As long as you are willing to be loyal to the Master on behalf of the Earth, I believe the Master will take good care of everything here.]
"Like the Yabo colonized those planets?"
[Yabor people? They are just a group of fleas. The so-called space pirates are just poor creatures in the shadow of the Kingdom of Light. The Earth is just an ordinary planet now. You must understand that if you get the favor of the master, he can even make countless civilizations believe in you. The will of the planet may not be the will of the entire galaxy. The Earth will also become the most dazzling planet in the galaxy. Better than the sun, better than thousands of stars! ]
On the Eagle, the TAC members looked at each other in bewilderment. The monsters were still communicating with Gaia in human language, which they could understand, so they found it even more incredible.
Monsters are recruiting Gaia and Earth? This is the first time they have encountered such a thing. Their feelings are somewhat complicated. After all, being recruited seems to indicate that Earth has a certain status in the universe. But from the perspective of the TAC team, this is of course absolutely unacceptable. I guess Gaia is the same.
As expected, Gaia flatly rejected it.
"The Earth is independent, and it has always been so before any civilization. This is true in front of the Yabo people, in front of the Kingdom of Light, and of course, it also includes you! If your master is really that powerful, then don't hide your head and show your tail."
[Why, if you decide to fight, why don't you attack me? ]
Throughout, Gaia stood still after saving Yamanaka and Yoshimura.
"Attack what? Attack the air?"
It wasn't that Gaia didn't attack, but she had already discovered that the monster that called itself Hippolyte wasn't actually here. The reason why the TAC team's various attacks had no effect was because they had been attacking nothing but an illusion.
The difference is that this phantom has the ability to attack others. So it is called a "phantom", but more accurately it should be called a "projection". It also projects part of the energy over to destroy the surroundings, creating the illusion that it is this monster that is destroying.
[Haha, Gaia, you are really smart. So let's stop here today. You can think about it carefully. And the people of Earth, hand over Ace and join our empire. As a resident of a remote planet, you can't imagine how honored it is to be personally recruited by the former overlord of the universe.]
[Then, please stay tuned]
The next second, the huge monster disappeared, leaving only the mess on the ground to prove that it had appeared.
That night, the TAC team base received frequent calls.
"Okay, I got it, thanks for calling."
Although he said "thank you", Konno threw the phone back into the receiver, which did not show his gratitude at all.
"Why, are you proposing to hand over Ace again?"
"Those bastards, don't they think about who protected them in the past?" Konno said angrily, "Captain, does the TAC team have to not swear when answering the phone?"
"Try to restrain yourself, Konno. If you really want to swear, at least wait until the phone call is over. Sometimes I can't hear clearly."
Captain Long's words were enough to prove that he was in fact extremely angry. However, as the captain of the TAC team, he had to strictly abide by the rules.
"But what's the point of swearing if you don't let the other person hear it?"
"I say, when you hang up the phone, can't you just not hang up by accident?"
"Ah, Yoshimura and Yamanaka, why are you here?"
It was Yoshimura who had suggested that it was not properly hung. He and Yamanaka entered the command room one after the other, and it looked like nothing was missing.
"Yoshimura, you are such a clever kid. How are you feeling?"
"It's okay. Look, we can go to the battlefield anytime!" Yoshimura made a bodybuilding pose. "Gaia showed up just in time. Yamanaka and I didn't get hurt. So there's really no need to stay in the hospital."
"Sorry, Captain, fainting on the battlefield is so rude!" Shanzhong stood straight and bowed to Captain Long.
"Don't say that. Anyone would faint in that environment."
"No, it just means that Yoshimura and I haven't trained enough. When Beidou drove a sublight speed rocket into the dark universe and was ordered to destroy the planet Gogda, his body experienced far worse conditions than this, but he completed the mission perfectly."
In the TAC team, Beidou has always been the person that Yamanaka likes to compare himself to.
"Hey Yamanaka, why do you always like to compete with Beidou? Isn't it better to be a normal human being?"
Yoshimura didn't think he hadn't exercised enough, he had already exercised enough. Beidou laughed at first, but came to his senses after a few seconds.
"Wait, Yoshimura, you're saying I'm not a 'normal person'?"
In short, the two players did not suffer any injuries and were able to return to the team in time, which is a gratifying thing, and the atmosphere in the TAC team was also relaxed.
"By the way, what are those citizens thinking? Are they really planning to hand over Ace? How disappointed would Ace be if he knew?"
"Maybe he was frightened by the monster?"
I have never seen a monster that is two or three hundred meters tall. It is almost as tall as Tokyo Tower. Today, most people in the city have seen the monster. The contrast between big and small is very oppressive.
"Even Ultraman becomes a 'little doll' when standing in front of it, let alone humans. It's understandable that you feel a little frustrated. Everyone, don't take it to heart, hey, Beidou."
Beidou, whose name was specifically mentioned by the captain, was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Besides, we've only received a dozen calls so far. Compared to Tokyo's population of tens of millions, it's only because all the calls were concentrated here that you had this illusion. I believe that the vast majority of humans would never agree to hand over Ace."
This is true, and Beidou's expression does look better.
In fact, Beidou and Nan also wondered, Ace couldn't transform. Was it because humans no longer needed Ace?
The Ultra Ring will only flash when it is truly needed. On the contrary, if humans choose not to need Ace anymore, Ace will certainly not appear again.
Ace is the Giant of Light and will not interfere with civilization's own choices.
If this is true, what should he and Nan Xizi do?
Chapter 179 Breaking Through the Darkness
Christmas is just one week away.
The originally lively festive atmosphere on the streets was overshadowed.
It doesn't matter, as long as Ultraman is here, all monsters that invade the earth will be defeated - although I want to say this, but that monster is special.
What's special about it is not just its huge size, but also its weird attitude, and its tone even shows disdain for the Kingdom of Light.
"How is it, have you found the true location of the monster?"
Since the monster that appeared in Tokyo was just a projection, the real one must still be hiding somewhere on the earth.
