But just like Beidou said, it is not in normal space, so no matter how the TAC team patrolled, they could not find it.
But Ace could find out.
Landing in an empty valley, Ace and Gaia could both sense the inconsistency of the space here. There was a space layer here, and something was hiding inside.
"It looks like this is the place." Gaia stared at the void ahead and said, "Are we going to attack directly?"
"Let me do it!" Ace said as he put his hands together and shot out a series of light arrows. It wasn't a specific move, for Ace, light skills were as simple as drinking water and eating, it was completely a physical instinct.
The light arrow shot towards nothingness, but it hit something. After being attacked by Ace, it finally appeared. It was a huge cylindrical object similar to a crystal cover.
The one covered by the crystal-shaped cylinder was none other than Hippolytus.
Hippolyte's real body is about the same height as Ultraman, about 50 meters. It stood there, as if it was asleep.
The rays of light that Ace had fired earlier hit the cylinder and were deflected.
The cylinder that was suspected to be able to hide in the cracks of space and multiply the Hippolytus inside seemed to be very strong, and ordinary light skills had no effect at all.
"It looks pretty solid, let's do it together!"
Gaia was about to use Quantum Streamline, and Ace was also ready to use Metalium Ray. At this moment, the crystal-shaped cylinder disappeared by itself.
Hippolytus stepped out on his own initiative.
"Gaia, disturbing someone's rest is extremely rude. I thought the Kingdom of Light was full of reckless people, but I didn't expect that you, the Will of the Earth, would be so rude."
"I think there is no need to show courtesy to uninvited guests who wantonly destroy the earth."
Ace had no habit of talking nonsense with the enemy. While Gaia was talking to the Hippolytus, he had already pounced on the enemy.
"Ah, a reckless man is a reckless man. After tens of thousands of years, the Kingdom of Light still follows this style."
Hippolyte said sarcastic words, but he didn't care about Ace, as he was just a young guy.
It is the Hippolyte, the strongest race in the universe. It came to Earth just to test its skills and offer a gift for its master's awakening. Its real goal is the Kingdom of Light.
Facing Ace's grabbing hand, Hippolyte casually met it, but cried out in pain the next second.
"You are such a despicable guy!"
I thought he was empty-handed, but I didn't expect he was holding a sword of light. Don't these little guys from the Kingdom of Light know how to behave uprightly?
The arm cut by the light knife was bleeding green blood. Ace took advantage of the situation and grabbed the tentacles on the monster's head and kicked it in the nose with a knee. Hiss, it was painful just to watch.
Hippolyte was indeed seeing stars. He was careless. This young man from the Kingdom of Light, who was less than 20,000 years old, was unexpectedly ruthless. He originally wanted to warm up, but it would not be funny if he got a bruised pig head.
Didn't the Ultraman from the Land of Light that I encountered in the past all try to test carefully at the beginning? How could they use light skills to launch a big move right away? Or has it slept for too long and can't keep up with the times? Young people nowadays are too unruly.
Ace grabbed the monster's legs and spun it around, throwing it headfirst into the cliff. The next second, he rubbed out a cutting light wheel in his hand and wanted to take advantage of the victory to chase after the monster, but found that the monster was gone.
Hiding?
"Ace, be careful!"
Gaia, who had not taken part in the previous battle, saw a strange scene at this moment.
That was the crystal cylinder that the Hippolytus used to hide in before. It now split into two and closed towards Ace, trying to trap him inside.
Ace also noticed it, and he threw the halo in his hand that had lost its target, cutting towards the crystal column on the side.
But it didn't work. The light wheel didn't even feel like it cut into the object. It just shattered. The next second, the cylinder closed together, trapping Ace inside.
Ace punched the container wall, but it was useless. At this time, a terrible change occurred in the container. Some liquid flowed down and fell on Ace, eroding his light energy. This container obviously has more than just an effect of trapping the enemy.
Gaia stepped forward, jumped into the air and kicked down, but the moment he touched the cylindrical container, he found that he was completely unable to exert any strength, and the kick went off target as if the direction was wrong.
The effect of distorting space.
Gaia fell to the ground, unable to exert his full power and unable to fully control it, and smashed into the ground, causing the earth to shake and the mountain to fall into a deep pit.
Before she could get up, another cylindrical container fell and trapped her inside.
"Haha, Ace, Gaia. Your doomsday has come."
Seeing that the two Ultramen were trapped in his Hippolyte Capsule, Hippolyte finally appeared again with relief. Looking at Ace who was struggling in pain, it was as if he was admiring a trophy.
“It’s painful, right? Haha, if you use up all your energy in pain, I will coat you with a beautiful shell and you will become my collection.”
Gaia also felt the torture that Ace was going through at this time.
The unknown liquid dripping from this container can consume light energy to the maximum extent. Even though she is on Earth at this time, the speed of light energy consumption far exceeds the threshold that the earth feeds back to her.
The container could not be broken, and Gaia tried to leave from the ground below, but it was also ineffective. The space in the container was self-contained.
But, space?
If it is a spatial imprisonment method, she may not be without a solution.
"Please, Nexus, lend me your power."
In her heart, she silently said something that was actually unnecessary, but in this way, it was as if there was really an Ultra Warrior accompanying her. Ling also communicated with the Nexus Medal.
Special Skill: Meta Field
The golden special energy spread out, and this time, the crystal container could not withstand the coverage of that light.
It was a gentle energy, but it was extremely overbearing, and its priority was able to ignore any interference. At least so far, Ling had not found any enemy that could block the Meta's domain.
The Yabo people can't do it, and this Hippolytus star can't do it. She suspects that even if the terrible Zoda himself comes, he won't be able to stop this golden energy from turning into a domain.
To use a term from a game she had heard of before, it was "too high". Well, this was a term from a game in her previous life. When she was in elementary school, her classmates all talked about it, both boys and girls. The protagonist was called "Grass Chicken", and there were also "Electric Man" and "Damon" in the team. The enemy seemed to be called "Big Snake".
Out of curiosity, she played it a few times, but her classmates played in the game room while she played on the computer.
The conclusion was that it wasn't very fun. As for the 'big snake', she had never seen it once, because it was something that could only be encountered after clearing the entire game, and she couldn't even win the first round against other teams.
In that game, some people's moves have extremely high judgment calls and cannot be interrupted or canceled.
The Meta field is probably like this, ignoring any difficulties, ignoring any interference, no matter what the circumstances, it is regarded as the highest judgment.
The Yabo people's alternate dimension and Hippolyte's space container were all ineffective in front of Meta's domain. It was as if it was some kind of fundamental law.
Gaia disappeared in the light curtain in the container, and reappeared outside the container the next second. To be honest, the Hippolytus had no idea what was happening.
This kind of thing is beyond its understanding.
It had lost battles with other civilizations, including the Kingdom of Light, in the past. But in its understanding, once it was captured by its space container, there was no reason for it to escape. This had never happened before.
The worst part was, it didn't even know how Gaia escaped.
It didn't have time to think, because Gaia had already appeared in front of it. With a side kick, Hippolytus was kicked to the ground.
"Let Ace out!"
As the caster of Meta's Sphere, Gaia used the Sphere to jump out of that independent space, but she couldn't use the same method to rescue Ace.
"That won't do, and it's too late now."
"What--"
In the cylindrical container, Ace had lost all his light energy, and his energy lamp stopped flashing. In the last second before he lost consciousness, Ace sent a signal in the direction of the Ultra Star in the sky.
Ott signed.
Then smoke rose up, and the special tar-like substance covered Ace's whole body, completely wrapping him up, and after solidifying, it was cast into a bronze statue.
"I told you, let Ace out!"
"Ace is already..." Hippolytus swallowed his saliva and swallowed the word "dead".
Oops, it's over, something's wrong with Gaia! Her body was not only gold and red, but also purple and black.
She was angry! She would die—the Hippolytus had such a clear intuition in his heart.
It was completely different from before. If the combat power could be read by the detector, then it believed that its detector had been blown up.
It’s too exaggerated. This kind of oppressive feeling was something I didn’t have when I met the young Ultra Father!
What kind of monster is the will of the Earth? It's so foul!
Such a monster should be left to its owner. It won't interfere in other people's affairs.
"Well, if you want to save Ace, I won't bother you. It's just some tar, maybe it can be washed off, why don't you give it a try."
Hippolyte had completely lost the will to fight, and before Gaia could make a move, he disappeared on the spot.
Slip away, slip away.
Chapter 181 Ultra Brothers
Hippolytus escaped.
Its ability to appear and disappear at will is indeed amazing, but unfortunately it is all used to escape.
What scared it away was Gaia's Supreme Form, but unfortunately this form could not last long. So Gaia did not pursue it, not because she did not want to, but because she could not.
After fusing the light of the ocean and overclocking it to the maximum, the 'Agul Medal' could only provide light energy for about thirty seconds, which was not enough for her to catch up with Hippolyte who was determined to escape and destroy him.
However, after returning to normal state, there is no time limit.
The power she draws from the Earth is enough for her to remain in Gaia (initial form) permanently.
Because the Earth is her home, her territory, just like the Ultra Warriors facing the enemy in the Kingdom of Light.
The battle with the Hippolytus had only lasted two minutes. Another three to five minutes later, the TAC plane finally arrived, but the battle was already over.
"What's going on? That bronze statue, is it Ace?"
"What on earth happened? Where is the monster?"
No one answered them.
Gaia walked up to the bronze statue of Ace and tried to input light energy into his body, but the light energy was isolated and could not be transmitted at all.
The outer layer of tar blocked the light energy, but Ling did not dare to break it casually. If the bronze statue was attacked and shattered, it would be the end. She did not want to play the jigsaw puzzle game of the bronze statue fragments.
It is enough to play this game once. If an antique is broken, it can be repaired, but if Ace is broken, it probably cannot be repaired.
Ling even tried Hippolyte's unreliable suggestion to clean it with high-pressure water. Since she already knew it was an unreliable method, of course it had no effect.
"What to do, Captain?"
"Or we can transport Ace back to the base and see if Dr. Kiji can find a solution."
"Even Gaia can't do anything about it, what can Dr. Kiji do?"
Seeing Yamanaka and Konno quarreling again, Captain Long felt a headache.
