"Thank you for your kindness, but I miss home. If I want to go to sea again in the future, I will remember your boat!"
It is about two kilometers from here to the shore, which is a long distance for swimming.
Kotaro swam to the shore without any hurry, and he didn't even breathe heavily when he got ashore.
Kotaro has a life list that he decided many years ago is what he must do while he is still young.
He had already completed a round-the-world trip. He worked as a trainee sailor on a cruise ship in more than two years but less than three years and traveled all over the world.
Then the next goal is to become a boxer.
Kotaro admitted that he acted recklessly, but it was the right of young people to do whatever they wanted.
When Kotaro arrived at the shore, he took out a seed from his pocket that was soaked in sea water and looked a little sick.
It was a gift from a tourist when the cruise ship was sailing in the Mediterranean Sea at the port of Cairo. It was said to be a plant in the Sahara Desert called Chikulis.
This flower only blooms once every hundred years in the desert.
At that time, the strange businessman in a black suit and a black top hat told him that the chikulis flower is the most beautiful flower in the world, and once it blooms, it will bring happiness to the world.
The tone of her voice was a bit like that of a missionary, and her face was as white as a vampire with all the makeup on, so she didn't look like a good person. But it did make Kotaro curious.
So there is one more thing on the life list, to make the Chikulis flower bloom.
Kotaro, who had no gardening skills, certainly had no idea whether Chikuris was a salt-tolerant plant. He had never even heard of it.
In his opinion, there were many flowers and plants on the seaside, which was very suitable for plant growth. So he dug a hole in a piece of wasteland and planted the seeds, hoping that they would bloom one day in the future.
Kotaro plants flowers by the sea, and at the same time, Ling leaves the earth.
Sword Breaker broke through the atmosphere and flew towards the depths of the universe, which was higher than the sky.
The spacecraft turned on the cloaking function, not only invisible to radar waves, but also completely invisible at the thermal and optical levels. Although Ling also guessed that her spacecraft might have been on the human's own certification list, she still wanted to avoid trouble as much as possible.
Ling is also preparing to travel to the Kuiper Belt.
It takes about a day to reach the Kuiper Belt at the speed of light, so the spacecraft used a phase transfer method, commonly known as a jump.
Sword Breaker is 210 meters long, and even when breaking through the atmosphere, there is no shaking at all, it is as stable as if it is still. Because of the inertial neutralization system, there is no feeling of weightlessness or overweight in the spacecraft, the gravity is constant, and the change of the spacecraft speed cannot be felt.
When the spacecraft enters the dark background of the universe, it is like a silver-white sword.
Generally speaking, spacecraft cannot jump anywhere and at any time, because the large amount of energy from the jump will interfere with the surrounding environment, causing uneven space-time, or in layman's terms, the disturbance of gravitational waves. Multiple spacecraft jumps will cause accidents.
Therefore, interstellar civilizations will set routes, and jump flights will only be allowed after entering the standard routes.
Strictly speaking, there is no interstellar civilization in the solar system. Although humans have begun to explore space, normal navigation is still at sub-light speed, so there is no such thing as "channels" in the solar system.
"Miss, the spacecraft has left the Earth's gravity, the route and system checks have been completed, and it can start the jump at any time. Waiting for the captain's order."
"Start the jump."
As soon as Lingye finished speaking, although her body did not feel the abnormal acceleration, the scene outside the ship on the main display began to change in an instant. The stars began to stretch and shift, and the space was distorted.
Then all the images disappeared, and the background color became dark blue, almost dark.
"It is expected that the ship will leave the phase transfer tunnel in five minutes, and the standard time is about one hour and seven minutes."
Because of the speed, the flow of time inside and outside the ship is different. Five minutes inside the ship is equivalent to more than an hour outside on Earth.
The reason for going to the Kuiper Belt was because Ling also learned from the Ultra Brothers that Taro was coming.
After all, Taro will take over Ace's job to protect the earth for a long time, so it is only natural for him to come and welcome him.
Ling was not unfamiliar with Taro, although she had never seen him before, but she had Taro's medal. That was to say, it was not unlocked. If it was unlocked, she could even use the opponent's skills.
Sword Breaker completed the jump quickly.
Taylor hasn't arrived yet.
The ones who greeted Lingye were Zoffy, the first generation, and Seven, but not Ace. Ace shouldn't be absent from such an occasion specially arranged to welcome Taro. Lingye still wanted to talk to him after not seeing him for several months.
"Where's Brother Beidou?"
Although she should call him Ace, Ling is still used to calling him Beidou.
"He's not here. As the new head of the Nebula branch, he has a lot of work to do and won't be back in a short time." Zoffy explained.
"Head of the Nebula Branch? Was he promoted?"
Sounds like a very impressive position.
"It's indeed a promotion, but it will be very busy. I probably won't see Ace for a long time."
That's a bit of a pity indeed.
Chapter 333 ZAT is dispatched
Ace is not here. One of the five Ultra Brothers is missing.
But because of the addition of Gaia, it was still five Ultra Warriors who greeted Taro.
Unlike Lingye's expectations, half an hour later, Taro did not show up, but a familiar female Ultra Warrior did.
Although she was familiar with him, Ling had never met him in person. She just had his medal, which was already unlocked.
——Mother of Ultra
"Sorry, I'm late. Something happened in the Kingdom of Light that delayed me."
Mother of Ultra can teleport from the Land of Light to the solar system, and can even cross the galaxy in an instant. This is her unique skill.
Such skills are not even reflected in the medals.
Perhaps it was because it would consume too much energy. The Plasma Spark Tower of the Kingdom of Light had almost endless energy, which was difficult for her medal to provide.
Moreover, Gaia has no need to cross the Milky Way under normal circumstances, and protecting the Earth is the most important thing.
Ling also looked behind Ultra Mother, but did not see Taro.
"Tairo is different from other warriors. He cannot leave the Land of Light." Mother of Ultra said, "He possesses the 'Heart of Ultra', which is the power of the Spark Tower and a miracle born from the crystallization of light."
Mother of Ultra did not elaborate, and the "Heart of Ultra" was a secret of the Kingdom of Light. It was not that she doubted Gaia, and even the Ultra Brothers were not clear about it. This was probably a little selfish of a mother.
Ultra Heart can make Taro not die even if he suffers fatal injuries. Even if his head is chopped off, even if he is fatally poisoned, or even if his body is shattered, he can be saved.
"Because of this 'Ultra Heart', Taro cannot leave the Land of Light too far, unless he can find a brave human who can host his 'Ultra Heart'."
The burning courage that shines like the Ultra Spark Tower. Only by resonating with the Ultra Heart can Taro show the figure of the Giant of Light on a planet millions of light years away from the Land of Light.
Ling also didn't understand how someone could be considered a brave person when something like courage couldn't be quantified.
Even she herself, although she fought against super beasts time and time again, it was because she was protected by the power of Gaia. She did not think she was brave enough.
But Mother of Ultra looked confident.
"Have you chosen someone yet?"
"That's it."
In fact, seven years ago, after the first generation accidentally entered the Earth, the Kingdom of Light paid attention to this planet. It is so special, just like the homeland of the Kingdom of Light before the star has gone out and they have not evolved into the Giant of Light.
After that, wars time and again failed to defeat humanity, as if they would never give up hope.
Mother of Ultra had long had the idea of letting Taro come to Earth for training, as only here could she find a life that matched Taro's 'Heart of Ultra'.
And she did find such a young man many years ago.
There is no need to say more about these, because compared to these, Mother of Ultra has something else that she cares more about.
"Gaia, excuse me, could you let me see your 'Blue Mother'?"
It was indeed a bit presumptuous, after all, to be honest, this was the first time that Mother Ultra and Gaia met. But from Ling's point of view, she borrowed the other's power several times, including the 'Blue Mother', which was also a medal from Mother Ultra, so she didn't mind.
The armband that appeared on Gaia's arm was exactly the same as the one on Mother of Ultra's arm.
Put the two bracelets together and shuffle their order so no one can tell which one it is.
"This bracelet was given to me by Ken." Mother of Ultra, who was speaking, looked like a young girl if not for her age. Realizing that Gaia probably didn't know the name Ken, she explained:
"Ken is the captain of the Space Guard. Everyone calls him 'Ultra Father'. At that time, Ken told me that there was only one bracelet like this in the world. This is our token of love."
The Ultra Brothers remained silent, feeling that the atmosphere was not suitable for them to interrupt. Ultra Father and Ultra Mother were equivalent to their parents.
This is embarrassing, and Ling can relate to it.
If it was her, her boyfriend (if she had one) gave her a gift that was said to be unique in the world, or even a token of love, but then she found the same gift in the hands of another girl.
No one can smile in relief, right?
Fortunately, Mother of Ultra did not let the embarrassment continue.
"I'm sorry for ruining the atmosphere by saying something like that. I'm too petty. No one says there's only one 'Blue Mother'. Ken was picked up, so maybe there are already two in this world. I just want to say that I'll leave Taro in my care for the rest of the time. Please take care of him."
After the previous episode, how could Ling refuse?
Of course she had no choice but to agree. She felt that if she didn't take good care of Taro, she would be letting down their family.
But why does it feel strange? The mother entrusted the child to the stepmother?
Illusion, illusion! She has never even been in love.
At this moment, Lingye's gaze suddenly turned towards the direction of the earth.
"A monster has appeared!"
In recent months, there have indeed been sporadic monsters, but most of them are native to Earth and do not pose much threat. Gaia has hardly intervened, and humans have dealt with them on their own.
This monster is different. To be more precise, it is not a monster, but a super monster.
"Yabo's super beast actually still has one left?"
A monster with a sharp horn on its head appeared in Tokyo Bay, which looked a bit like a penguin. It's a bit unfair to describe penguins like this, because penguins are cute, but this monster is not cute at all.
"ZAT is out!"
Upon receiving the news of the appearance of the super beast, the ZAT team immediately flew to the scene.
Unlike previous teams, ZAT's headquarters is not in the mountains or at the bottom of a lake, but is located right in the center of Tokyo, right next to the Tokyo Tower.
"Captain, that monster is attacking the port!"
Realizing that this enemy was different from previous monsters, ZAT dispatched a Sky Whale and two Condors.
Including Captain Asahina herself, it can be said that all members are out on the attack.
"I can see it. By the way, did you eat garlic? The taste is so strong." Captain Asahina said to Nanyuan who spoke earlier.
