Maybe it really was him, but he no longer remembered it, not at all.
But at this moment, meeting that milky white gaze, he seemed to remember something. Only a little.
Are you another me?
Ultra Father put his hands together and sprayed the solution he brought from the Science and Technology Bureau towards Ace. The Hippolyte tar that had been impossible to remove was quickly dissolved in the solution.
It was as simple as cleaning dirt with a high-pressure water gun. Ace was seen to have returned to his original appearance - except that the energy lamp was still not on.
But it doesn't matter. As long as he replenishes some energy, Ace will be full of energy again.
"Captain, leave the rest to us."
The First Generation interrupted Ultra Father's attempt to input energy into Ace.
"You have consumed a lot of energy traveling all the way from the Kingdom of Light to Earth."
Ultra Father did not try to be brave and he stepped aside.
The First Generation, Seven, and Jack looked at each other, and the three of them formed a triangle, surrounding Ace in the middle. They raised their hands, put their wrists together, and the light energy of the three people gathered towards the center.
Both Spesium energy and Aimerim energy turned into the purest light energy, just like the original light of the Spark Tower, and entered Ace's body from the energy lamp.
After a few seconds, Ace's energy light began to flash, and it continued to charge for more than ten seconds, and the energy light turned solid blue.
Ace woke up.
Ace was a little dazed. After a moment, looking at his brothers who surrounded him and Ultra Father next to him, Ace realized what had happened.
"Hippocastan——"
"Destroyed by Brother Zoffy."
Ah, I really got myself into trouble. Even the captain was alarmed.
Ace felt a little guilty. The captain had given him full trust when he was ordered to come to Earth to carry out the mission, and Ace thought he could do a good job, but obviously, he still didn't do well enough.
"Ace." Ultraman Father suddenly said, "You have completed your mission well."
"what?"
Ace thought he had heard wrongly.
"As I recall, your mission was to protect the Earth from the Yabo people. Now the Yabo people have lost, haven't they?"
So...it seems to be true.
"You have completed your mission. So Ace, you can return to the Kingdom of Light."
"Ah?" Ace was a little surprised, but more panicked, "But, but there are still super beasts on Earth, and we met Orions before. Oh, right, isn't there Zoda?"
"So, you want to stay on Earth, right?"
Ace remained silent, then nodded after a while.
"Yes, Captain, I want to stay here."
It’s not because the mission was not completed, nor because of the aliens like Orion and Zoda, but because he wanted to stay.
"Hold your head up, Ace. This is a good thing. You are willing to stay here because you have established a friendship with this planet, which is more important than the energy of light."
"We protect the Earth, but in fact, the people on Earth are also teaching us a lot, and these are all precious experiences. These should not be forgotten or destroyed, so you want to protect this place, don't you? Fight with this in mind, and you will become stronger. You will never fall again."
"But remember, once your identity is discovered by humans, that's when you must leave Earth."
Ace already knew this. He nodded.
UltraFather left.
Then there are Zoffy, Seven and Jack.
The first generation turned around and took one last look at Hayata. Neither Ultraman nor the human spoke, and then he also flew into the sky.
Hayata-kun has fought enough, and it is enough for him to live healthily and continue to survive. And he will continue to fight against the cosmic civilizations that attempt to invade in the depths of the universe until the end.
On Earth, Hayata was not the only one who watched Ultraman leave.
Jiro took the Christmas gift from his brother, a tie, an adult tie, which he would wear on his coming-of-age ceremony. And for Rumiko was a beautiful jewelry box, just in time for the necklace he had given her.
"Will Brother Xiang come back next Christmas?"
Rumiko couldn't answer this question either.
"But it doesn't matter. I know Brother Xiang is always watching me."
He was also looking at Brother Xiang. As long as he looked up, he could see the Ultra Star shining in the sky. The treasures Xiang left him were far more than these, enough to accompany him throughout his life.
"The group has left." Gu Qiao said softly as he looked at the direction where the Ultra Brothers left in the sky.
“He’s always on the battlefield.”
"Ha, that's really the style of the group, always so energetic. What do you think, shouldn't we work harder as well?"
"You are just being lazy. We have been working hard." Soga said unhappily, "I have already joined the Space Army with the captain."
"Ah? When?" Gu Qiao asked in surprise.
"The selection was passed a month ago."
"The selection you are talking about is..."
"Yes, the Space Army's Ocean Exploration Corps."
Humankind’s exploration of the universe will never end. Since the days of Team Kote, an exploration corps has been established to head into the depths of the universe to explore the unknown mysteries of the starry sky.
Now, six years have passed, and the earliest ocean-going troops have crossed Proxima Centauri and headed towards the unknown deep space.
Exploration is dangerous. Many teams have lost contact in the past six years, but successors will never stop.
The pioneers of the past have their names engraved on the monument of honor. It is a stone tablet erected in the main hall of the Space Development Bureau. Every warrior who leaves will leave his or her name on the monument to inspire those who come after him or her.
Human beings also look forward to the return of those warriors.
Saburo Furuta, Katsuo Seyazuka, Shingo Osami...
The names on the stone tablet have been carved row after row. Just like dandelions in spring, the petals leave Mother Earth, spread to unknown places, and then take root and sprout.
Now, Soga has also engraved his name on it.
Leaving the Earth does not mean that we do not love it. It is precisely because we love it so deeply that we want to find more possibilities for the future of mankind.
"Maybe one day, we can go over to the Kingdom of Light?"
TAC Team Headquarters
Everyone was happy that Ace was alive, but Noriko looked at the two empty seats.
Beidou and Nan...
During the battle with the Hippolytus, their plane crashed, and no one was seen parachuting in the end. Although the bodies of the two people were not found in the wreckage of the plane, everyone knew what it meant to be missing on the battlefield.
Before this, Noriko bought two bouquets of flowers and placed them on the two empty seats, but was stopped by Captain Long.
"They must still be alive."
Captain Long said this, but Noriko knew that was just self-consolation. Those were Nan Xizi and Beidou. If they were still alive, they would have returned long ago. They would not be deserters.
"Captain, the Hippolytus have been destroyed, so..."
So we can hold a funeral for Beidou and Nan, Noriko was about to say this, the Ultra Brothers have avenged them. But at this moment, the door of the command room opened.
Noriko stared at the two people who came in in amazement.
"Beidou, Nan! You, are you ghosts?"
It was certainly not a ghost.
"I'm sorry, Noriko, for making you worry."
Beidou saluted Captain Long.
"Captain, we were rescued by Ace before, but he fainted afterwards and has not been able to come back. Beidou and Nan are now returning to the team and reporting to you."
"Okay, I knew you would come back."
Captain Long said, without any look of surprise.
"Captain," Noriko still couldn't believe it, "Did you know about this a long time ago?"
"What do I know? I just believe in my teammates. Team members Beidou and Nan, they won't admit defeat even if they face the god of death."
So, was it because I didn't trust my teammates enough? Maybe that was the case. Anyway, it was good to be able to come back. Noriko smiled with relief.
"Beidou, Nan, you guys always survived the disaster." Yamanaka patted Beidou's shoulder fiercely, "It's a pity you didn't see it, this time it was the Ultra Brothers who showed their skills. The former Ultra Warriors have all returned to Earth."
What a gorgeous lineup. When the Ultra Brothers stand together on the battlefield, it makes people feel very relieved. Of course, there is also Gaia. In Yamanaka's mind, Gaia is the most powerful. She is indeed, fighting two Ultra Beasts alone, but winning easily.
Well, he knew that, although he was sealed in the bronze statue and didn't see it, his brothers were always invincible. However, he would definitely not bother his brothers again next time.
"In the mountains, we have to work harder and protect the earth on our own."
The five great vows of Ultraman are not to rely on others, but to rely on one's own strength. This is the agreement between Jack and the children of the earth. Therefore, he must also rely on his own strength to protect the earth.
Just like what he said to Ultra Father. It's not because of the mission, but because he wants to protect this place.
"Do you need to tell me that?" Yamanaka said unhappily, but he still patted Beidou's hand. "Anyway, welcome back."
Chapter 187: Thanksgiving
“It would be nice if it snowed on Christmas.”
Chiyo said so.
A white Christmas is the real Christmas atmosphere. Lingye and Sakura also think so.
So on Christmas Eve, it started snowing.
It was light at first, but in the second half of the night it snowed heavily. On Christmas Day, the 25th, when I woke up in the morning, the world outside the window was white.
After daybreak, the snow stopped as if deliberately avoiding affecting travel. It seemed that its dancing last night was really just to beautify the city.
The sky is blue and clear, and it is crystal clear under the glow of the rising sun, like a world made of glass.
Today is the day of the concert. In the morning, the car of Sanmu Entertainment Company came to pick up Lingye and the other two one by one.
Sitting in the nanny car on the way to Central Park, Sakura looked out the window at the snow-covered world and felt a little excited. She didn't know whether it was the snow scene or the upcoming concert that excited her.
Or both.
