"Captain, you really don't understand. Eating noodles with garlic in the morning is the romance of the men in Kyushu."
Tadao Minamihara's hometown is in Kyushu Island, a mountain village below Kumamoto.
"I don't understand what the romance of Kyushu men is, but next time if anyone eats garlic, be more conscious when performing a mission and drive the Super Swallow."
Asahina said this in the team channel of the communicator. The Super Swallow is a single-person combat aircraft of ZAT, comparable to the Airo of the TAC team.
The cabin of the plane is closed, and the smell of garlic inside the Tianjing is really strong.
Even stronger than the smell of garlic is the smell of the super beast.
"That monster is drinking oil. No wonder it attacked Tokyo Bay. It was attracted by the oil."
"So what should we do, Captain? Attack?"
"Wait a moment. If we attack now and ignite the oil, Tokyo Bay will become a sea of fire." Asahina was a little worried. This monster was obviously beyond the 'safe' level. Disaster-level monsters could only be eliminated.
But it would be better to keep him away from the port dock, otherwise the missiles from the plane might cause more damage than the monster itself.
There are many oil storage tanks here, and there are oil tankers docked at the port.
"I know!" The voice of Kitajima Tetsuya, who was driving the Condor, came, "Isn't it time for that one to appear? That one, that one..."
"What 'that'?"
"Meta Field, didn't this happen when Team TAC was fighting before?"
Ace did leave the Earth, but Gaia didn't say she left.
"Don't rely on Ultraman for everything. Think about what you can do first."
Asahina could understand it, after all, the players under her were different from the TAC team.
The TAC team was formed in order to target the Ultra Beasts after Yabo started the war. Its members are the elite among the elites of the defense force.
ZAT was formed in peacetime as a team to maintain the daily order of Tokyo. Fighting monsters is only a part-time job. The most common job on weekdays is to patrol Tokyo and check if there are any factories that discharge sewage and exhaust gas and pollute the environment.
They are a special team formed under the concept of 'coexisting harmoniously with the creatures on Earth'.
Nanyuan, Beidao and others were not elite soldiers. Of course, they were brave and energetic young men.
Just as she was thinking about the young and energetic guy, Asahina suddenly discovered that a cargo unloading crane at the dock suddenly moved.
There's someone on the crane!
"What's going on? Didn't they issue an evacuation order? Why are there still people here?"
"That's strange. Everyone in the surrounding area has indeed taken refuge. Could it be that they swam here from the sea?" Nanyuan said.
"What nonsense are you talking about." If Asahina wasn't flying a plane, she would have slapped him on the head.
But even if you didn't take refuge, what did it mean to run up to the suspension tower?
Asahina was puzzled as to why the crane hook, with its iron chain wrapped around it, had actually tied the monster's neck.
The sling was retracted, and the monster, which was originally drinking oil with its head down, was dragged up by its neck.
There was someone standing on a rocky beach not far from the harbor, but neither Kotaro nor the ZAT team noticed it.
"What do you think of him?"
The one who spoke was Mother of Ultra, but now she was in human form, a grandmother in her fifties. Ling thought she would be younger.
Lingye originally thought that the man operating the crane was Shinoda who was setting sail on the Polaris, but after a closer look, he felt something was wrong.
"That's Tokotaro." said Mother of Ultra.
Kotaro? Ling was not unfamiliar with this name. He had heard Director Asaka say that when Director Asaka saw Shinoda for the first time, she mistook him for Kotaro.
Then this is the real one.
For some reason, Ling was not surprised.
If you want to travel around the world, you can go out to sea without any preparation. You don't have any worries, as if you can do whatever you want to do without any obstacles.
"He is indeed a strange person. Is he Taro's human form?"
Yes, he was not chosen as the human body. Rather, he was already Taro's human body.
"He has the genes of the People of Light. There are occasionally people like him on this planet. Just like the Plasma Spark Tower, it emits light itself." Mother of Ultra said and looked at Lingye, "That's why I said that this planet is so similar to our home."
"I came to Earth a few years ago, when you hadn't woken up yet. I met Higashi Kotaro. He had a brave mother who fell off a mountain to save someone who was hit by a monster, so..."
So what, Ling has already guessed it.
"His mother is your human form?"
Mother of Ultra felt a little embarrassed, after all, she did not get the other party's consent.
"I can only do this. Life on Earth is somewhat peculiar. Even if I use the 'Blue Mother', I cannot revive her. The only way to save her is to merge with her. In this process, our unique ability as a tribe of light can repair the human body."
"I lived with Kotaro for a while. He was a troublesome child, but he was really kind. Then I had to leave the earth. Kotaro probably thought his mother was dead."
"At that time, part of Taro's light merged into his body. I didn't expect them to be so compatible. Of course, whether to become the real Taro is Kotaro's own decision, and none of us will interfere."
Chapter 334: Mother of Ultra's Request
"Gaia, I have something to ask of you."
"My name here is Lingye." Lingye didn't like the name Gaia very much, as if she was no longer a human being.
"Okay, Lingye." Mother of Ultra readily followed suit and took out a badge from her pocket.
It was probably a badge, it was a triangle with a metal ring around it.
Ling also knew that it was Taro's transformation device. She could feel that it contained high-purity light energy from the Spark Tower.
"Please give this to Kotaro-kun on my behalf. It doesn't matter whether he wants to become Taro or not. If he wants to live as an ordinary human, he can use it as an ordinary amulet. Or you can give it back to me."
Ultraman only gives one possibility and never makes choices for humans. This is true no matter what the situation.
"Why don't you give it to him yourself?"
"Just think of it as a mother's guilt. In Kotaro's heart, his mother has long passed away. I don't think I have the right to appear in front of him again. It will only cause him trouble."
"Also, I have an unwelcome request. If Kotaro is really willing to become Taro and fight monsters on this planet, please take good care of him. Train him to be a qualified Ultraman."
"I train Taro?"
Ling couldn't understand it either. She originally thought that the "care" that Mother of Ultra mentioned before meant paying more attention to Taro during the battle and being careful not to let Taro get hurt.
I am a half-baked person myself, so how can I train others?
"You are too modest. You have been able to destroy so many Ultra Beasts and defeat the Yawa people. Even in the Kingdom of Light, you are the best warrior. You are more than capable of training Taro."
Moreover, judging from the few words that King Ao had said, if the attack that severely damaged Zoda really came from the Earth, the power of the person in front of him would be too terrifying.
Law Level
Even in the Kingdom of Light, such beings are worshipped like gods.
At this moment, the creaking sound of the iron chain hinge interrupted their conversation.
"Ah, it seems the crane isn't strong enough."
It is natural that the maximum load of a large crane is only 200-300 tons, which is a terrible weight. An empty container is only 20-30 tons, and a fully loaded container is only 100 tons at most. As a crane at a dock, a load of 200-300 tons is more than enough.
Even the gantry crane at a shipyard can only lift a few thousand tons at most.
But the monster weighs in tens of thousands of tons.
It's easy to imagine that the noose could never withstand such a heavy force.
The monster struggled a little, and the steel cable made a "bang bang" sound. The next second, the steel cable broke, and the tower crane swayed a few times on the spot under the heavy load, almost collapsing.
The monster also lost its balance, took a few steps back and fell into the water.
"Well done!" Captain Asahina couldn't help but praise.
Although civilians stranded on the battlefield is not worth publicizing, Higashi Kotaro's actions directly moved the monster away from the oil tank, allowing it to attack!
Watching the ZAT open fire, Tokotaro was no fool, he climbed down the hanging tower.
"Don't you think it's dangerous to do this?"
After jumping down from the last floor of the suspension tower, Kotaro suddenly heard a voice behind him and turned his head.
"Whose child is this?"
A little girl, who looks like she is still in primary school.
"You got separated from your master? It's dangerous here."
"It's very dangerous, so why are you staying here, Kotaro? Don't you trust the ZAT team?"
"you know me?"
Kotaro was a little surprised to hear his name spoken by a strange girl.
"I heard about you from Director Asaka. I heard that you went out to sea. You said you were going to travel around the world."
"Director Asaka..." Kotaro was a little dazed. Yes, he would never forget that Director Asaka had given him a lot of help a few years ago.
"Are you an actor too? Sorry, I've been at sea for the past few years and haven't watched many TV dramas. You said I don't believe in ZAT, but that's not true. It's just that I've heard a lot of news at sea, and I always feel that the previous TAC team, and perhaps the current ZAT team, are too dependent on Ultraman."
"I think humans should rely more on their own strength."
Missiles exploded nearby, and several high-yield missiles exploded on the monster, causing it to retreat step by step.
"If the monster had continued to drink the oil, and ZAT was helpless, Ultraman would have appeared, right? I don't like this."
Higashi Kotaro is an idealist. To him, there are only things you want to do and things you don't want to do in this world, and there is nothing that is absolutely impossible to do. If you can't do it, it just means that you haven't tried hard enough.
"I can't accept the fact that I have to rely on aliens from the Kingdom of Light before I have done my best."
On the ZAT team's Sky Wing plane, Nanhara looked at Kotaro who got off the crane but did not leave.
"What is that guy doing over there? Doesn't he know it's dangerous?"
He was mumbling to himself, as if he was talking to someone, but he was clearly alone.
After getting off the crane, he didn't even know to run far away, which made Nanyuan very cautious. He didn't dare to fire missiles randomly for fear of hitting him.
"Don't you like Ultraman?"
"Of course not." Kotaro said, "I just can't accept the idea of relying on others without working hard myself. Look, we humans can also fight off monsters ourselves!"
This is true. After being bombarded repeatedly by ZAT missiles, the monster has decided to retreat and is moving towards the sea.
