"Captain, where are Nan Xizi and Beidou? They have lost contact since just now." Noriko reminded.
Captain Long certainly knew where Beidou and Nan were without Noriko's reminder, but he couldn't say it out loud and was helpless.
Ace is in trouble.
When humans are in trouble, Ace stands up again and again. But when Ace is in trouble, they can do nothing. It's just that humans are still so weak today.
"Anyway, let's land first and take a closer look."
"understand!"
The Eagle and the Cosmos were falling towards the ground. At this time, the communicator Noriko suddenly received a message.
"Captain, the radar station has sent an alarm. The radar shows that a high-energy heat source outside the atmosphere is approaching at a very fast speed!"
"Heat source? Is it another monster? Where is the expected landing site?"
"It's...ah, right here!"
As Noriko finished speaking, a light source could be seen approaching in the sky. Just like the stars, it was very clear in broad daylight. The light source was very fast. It was still outside the atmosphere, but in just over ten seconds, it had landed on the ground.
It was so fast, but there was no impact like the one expected when a meteorite landed. Then Captain Long saw -
Yoshimura, Konno, Yamanaka and Noriko also saw it. When they saw the true identity of the descender, they were all dazzled.
"Ultraman!"
"Seven! Jack! And Zoffy is here too!"
The ones who came weren't monsters, but Ace's four brothers! Warriors who had once forged friendship with the Earth.
The Ultra Brothers are here! This scene is really shocking.
Seven walked up to the bronze statue of Ace first, put his hand on the energy lamp on Ace's chest, but he could no longer feel any light energy.
"what on earth is it?"
They came from the Land of Light after receiving Ace's Ultra Autograph.
Ultra Signature is not limited by the speed of light and can reach any corner of the universe instantly. But Ultra Brothers cannot.
Realizing the urgency of the situation, after the Space Guard received the signature, Zoffy led all the guard members, except for Ultra Father who was still training Taro, and used the large wormhole equipment developed by the Science and Technology Bureau of the Kingdom of Light to transmit to the vicinity of the earth.
Folding a distance of three million light years, even with the equipment of the Science and Technology Bureau, it is very difficult, and the energy consumed is at the stellar level. The device may not be usable in a short time.
But even so, he still couldn't catch up. Ace turned out to be like this.
Fortunately, Gaia is still there, and at least she can tell them what happened.
"Gaia, do you know how Ace became like this?" Zoffy asked directly without bothering to exchange pleasantries.
It wasn't considered rude, after all, Ace was his younger brother, so Ling didn't mind.
"It's a monster who calls himself Hippolytus. I don't know if he's a monster or an alien."
"Hippolyte?"
"Brother, have you heard of this name?" Seven asked. He himself had no impression of this name.
"Yes, I have heard of it, but I only saw it in the archives of the Kingdom of Light."
Zoffy was active in the galaxy earlier than the other Ultra Brothers. He had extensive experience in leading troops to battle, and he often needed to look up some information. The medals on his chest were proof of his victory.
"It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it, because I have occasionally seen it in ancient documents. When the Hippolytus were active, you and I were not born yet. He was once the watchdog of the Gua Empire and the number one general under the command of the legion commander Zoda."
Fifty thousand years ago, Zoda was defeated and the Hippolytus were sealed along with him.
Fifty thousand years is enough time for people to forget many things, so few people in the galaxy still remember the terrifying monster that once claimed to be the strongest race in the universe and could not even lose in a head-on battle with the warriors of the Kingdom of Light.
These are things that happened before the Ultra Brothers were born. In the Space Guard, probably only the captain has experienced them personally.
"So, Zoda is really awake?"
"I'm afraid so. Since the Hippolytus has broken the seal, even if its master hasn't woken up yet, he should be soon."
In fact, at this moment, Ultra Father is training Taro in the Land of Light in preparation for the battle against Zoda.
Taro is impulsive and naughty. He is not yet a qualified Ultraman Warrior, but he is special.
Although the members of the Space Guard all call the captain "Ultra Father" and his wife "Ultra Mother", in fact, "Ultra Father" and "Ultra Mother" have only one biological child, and that is Taro.
He has inherited the captain's special abilities, and now he needs to grow. Once he becomes a qualified Ultraman, he may be the key to defeating Zoda.
But compared to considering the threat from Zoda, what is more important now is Ace's matter.
"How can I make Ace recover?"
Zoffy looked at his brothers and said in a deep voice, "We have no way out. I'm afraid we need the Silver Crusaders."
Ace's light energy was exhausted, but the most troublesome thing at this time was not the light energy, but the tar attached to his body.
The special tar made of unknown material blocked the possibility of light energy transmission. If the tar was not removed, even if Ace was stuffed into the plasma spark tower, he would not be able to replenish any energy.
Silver Crusaders, when Ling heard this name, she suddenly remembered that she had heard of this name before.
She heard from Beidou that the Silver Crusaders were a special legion formed by Mother of Ultra, consisting of medical staff with special healing skills.
Because of this, Ling had decided that the next medal to be unlocked would be Mother of Ultra, but unfortunately, there is still a long way to go before the medal is unlocked. Otherwise, Mother of Ultra's skills should have the ability to save Ace.
【Mother of Ultra Medal
Energy reserve: 0/230 (recovery of 0.002 per second, temporarily blocked)
Sealed, unlocking degree: 128/240 (53.3%)]
Her medals are really like a huge treasure.
However, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Although the unlocking degree has increased significantly after defeating the Yabo people, and the Sphinx has pushed the unlocking degree to more than 50% at once, it is still far from enough to unlock it. At least five or six more monsters need to be eliminated.
"Well, I will return to the Kingdom of Light now, report this to the captain, and request the Silver Crusaders to intervene. During this time, the rest of you will stay on Earth and guard here with Gaia to prevent the Hippolytus from attacking again. We need to be more cautious against Zoda. The situation is unclear right now, so don't take it lightly."
Zoffy made a decisive decision.
They came to Earth through the wormhole in the Land of Light, but it was temporarily unusable. Even at Zoffy's speed, it would take several days to travel back and forth between the Land of Light and Earth.
"I think you are all familiar with Earth. In addition to being on guard these few days, just take a good vacation."
Zoffy left these words and flew away.
The first generation, Seven, and Jack were left staring at each other. It must be said that it was a terrible thing that Ace was in trouble, but he couldn't help but feel excited to be able to return to Earth after a long absence and take a few days off.
Sorry, Ace, it’s not that your brothers don’t care about you.
But they don't know how to treat Hippolyte's tar, so there's nothing we can do, right?
"Anyway, let's do it this way." Jack said, and disappeared into light. On Earth, it was also a burden to always be Ultraman.
The other Ultra Warriors also turned into light and disappeared on the spot.
In a valley somewhere that the TAC team could not see, these lights condensed into human figures.
Three young men appeared in front of Lingya.
"On Earth, my name is Hayata Shin." The young man who was the first incarnation spoke. "But this identity is a bit troublesome."
Because there is another Hayata Susumu on Earth at this time.
The first generation was defeated and died in the battle with Zetton. When he left the earth, he was separated from Hayata, giving Hayata a new life and taking away his memories of fighting as Ultraman.
So there is still a human being on Earth, the real Hayata Shin. And the one standing here at this moment is just the human incarnation of the first generation.
But it doesn't matter.
"As long as we don't run into each other on the street, there shouldn't be any problem."
"I'm Tuan Moroboshi, and I used to work in the Ultra Guard." Tuan said with some emotion. It's been four years, and I don't know how my former colleagues are doing now. Captain Kiriyama, Guqiao, Soga, Tiancheng, and Annu——
As for the identity, Zhu Xingtuan is not that troublesome. Because Zhu Xingtuan, who was active on Earth at that time, was not a human being, but the incarnation of Seven.
Finally--
"I'm……"
"I know, Go Hideki, Go-nii-nii."
Ling had also seen Go Hideki, although he was an alien in disguise. The one in front of her now was undoubtedly the real Go Hideki.
On Earth, there are still people who miss him very much. They are a brother and sister named Rumiko and Jiro Sakata. Will they be happy to know that Xiang is back?
"I'll stay here and look after Ace. Since Brother Zoffy asked everyone to take a vacation, you guys should take a rest." Hayata said. When Zoffy was not around, he was the older brother of the Ultra Brothers.
"Dark forces have been stirring up trouble recently. Both the Monster Cemetery and those dark civilizations have worked hard."
"No, I think Ace is already like this, there's no need to guard him, right?"
——Ace can’t run away again.
The one who spoke was Zhu Xingtuan.
At this time, a roar was heard from the sky in another part of the valley.
It was the TAC team's Eagle, which was using reinforced chains to entangle Ace and was trying to transport the bronze statue away.
There have been precedents of rescuing Ultra Warriors who have lost their light. When Seven was trapped in a crystal cross by the Gatsians, he lost all his light energy. It was the Ultra Guard at the time who used human technology to transmit light energy to Seven, allowing Seven to recover.
So of course the TAC team wanted to give it a try.
Ace weighed more than 40,000 tons, equivalent to four 10,000-ton ships. However, for the Sky Fortress's Eagle, it was still within its tolerance.
"It seems that we really don't need to stay here." Hayata said.
Although I don't think that human technology can restore Ace, the kindness is precious. Ultraman and humans grow up through mutual assistance, which is also a good thing for Ace.
Chapter 182 Magnerium Energy
"Well, Doctor, any ideas?"
In response to Captain Long's question, Yoichi Kiji shook his head helplessly.
"I'm sorry, Captain, I just don't understand."
Mokuji extracted a sample of the tar-like substance wrapped around Ace, but he was unable to figure out even its basic composition.
All experimental methods were ineffective, even the photoelectric effect which was usually used to analyze the composition of stars was useless. Ace was right in front of him, but he could not read any spectrum.
Because all the incident photons were completely absorbed by the unknown substance, but no electrons escaped.
It blocks out all light.
