But they can threaten all life on the planet today.
The earth was enraged, and even the calm sea of souls began to surge.
Whether it is the light of the planets or the light of life, they are brighter than the light of the stars.
It is what these dark creatures fear the most, even more than the light energy crystals from the Kingdom of Light.
Tian Xiegui suddenly heard a voice, faint and yet everywhere.
Who is singing?
He looked at the eldest lady in confusion, but the eldest lady did not say anything.
His gaze turned to the sky, then to the earth.
Suddenly I understood that it was this planet that was singing, whether it was humans or dark things, whether it was birds, beasts, fish or insects.
It is they, their hearts that are singing.
The Feathered Anteater can devour countless planets, but it cannot devour the Earth. It’s not that it doesn’t want to, but that it can’t.
Gaia, and the endless creatures, the vast sea of souls.
In mythology, it is called the divine realm.
This planet itself is Gaia's divine domain, whether it is the mountains, rivers, seas, or every small corner.
Every inch of land is in the divine domain.
Once Gaia, who has stood outside the long river of time and space since eternity, opens her eyes, everything she looks at will be considered unforgivable, her enemy and rejected by the world.
But Gaia only glanced at him for a brief moment before looking away.
Because it was enough, just a feathered ant beast, He believed in his agent.
Araki was at a loss in the face of the endless ant swarm. His ZAT gun had already used up all its bullets.
"Retreat quickly, Kotaro, individual weapons are useless. I have contacted the headquarters, and the Sky Whale will be here soon!"
The Tianjing has incendiary bombs and high-yield bombs on board. These weapons can only work against the endless ant colony.
"But Deputy Captain, if such a large-scale weapon is used, this town will be destroyed."
"Who cares about that now! If we don't eliminate these monsters, Tokyo will be in danger! I don't want all the buildings in Tokyo to be eaten away. Anyway, the Ministry of Disaster Prevention will compensate for the buildings destroyed by the monsters."
That's true, but Kotaro was thinking, if he let the town be destroyed, would Ling also write something in the little black notebook?
Araki had indeed run out of ammunition. If he was caught up by these ants, he would not even have the means to resist.
"Deputy Captain, I still have bullets in my gun. Let me cover you."
"Then please, just follow me and don't try to be brave. These ants have such good teeth, and your body is not as strong as steel and concrete."
"I understand, Vice Captain. I won't take any risks."
Kotaro certainly wouldn't take risks, but Taro would.
Seeing the deputy captain running towards the patrol car, Kotaro found the right moment and fired two shots at the ants, piercing through several ants.
The dead anteaters were quickly overwhelmed by the ant colonies behind them, leaving not even a corpse.
But faced with billions of ants, killing dozens or hundreds of them is just a drop in the bucket.
After firing a few more shots, Kotaro put the ZAT gun, which had also run out of ammunition, back into its holster.
He then took off the badge that was already shining on his shoulder.
"Taro!"
He shouted, badge in hand.
Then the Giant of Light appeared among the ant colony.
Some ants even climbed onto Taro's instep and tried to climb up along his feet.
Taro's body was shining with light, and his skin became extremely hot. The ants clinging to his body were vaporized in an instant.
Chapter 372: Determination to Fight
An endless stream of ants covered the entire street like a black carpet.
The Tianjing has arrived at the scene.
"Captain, Taro is here, do you still need us?"
As he spoke, Kitajima circled the plane around the deserted town and overlooked the entire battlefield.
"What nonsense!" Asahina scolded, "It's not Taro's responsibility to protect the earth, it's our responsibility. What we need to consider is how to respond to the Ultra Warriors who have helped us time and time again."
Their ZAT is not a burden. Apart from waving flags and cheering after Ultraman appears, they should play a greater role.
Whether Taro appears or not, it does not hinder ZAT's determination to fight monsters.
"Is the ant killer ready?"
"Of course. We prepared three tons of them. The pharmaceutical factory was almost emptied. They were all powerful drugs. Cockroaches and ants would die if they ate them. Even an ambulance couldn't save them."
"That's good. Kitajima, fly the plane carefully, lower the altitude, and be careful. The buildings here are quite tall. Don't accidentally hit them. Nanyuan, find the right time to drop the ant killer."
The buildings here are indeed quite tall, with some even being over 300 meters high. They look more modern than downtown Tokyo.
Bei Dao drove carefully. He really had to be careful. If he accidentally hit a building, even the Tianjing would crash.
"Hello, Araki, can you hear me? We are going to spray pesticides. Have we completed the evacuation in the surrounding area?" Asahina shouted into the communicator.
"I'm Araki, Captain. There's no one around here except two security guards, who took shelter earlier."
"That's good. What about you? Stay away too. These ant killers are highly toxic."
"I've already reached the port, in the patrol car. But I don't see Kotaro. I got separated from him."
"Kotaro? Don't worry about that kid, he can take care of himself."
Asahina said as she ordered to spray.
Light yellow-green powder drifted into the wind from the nozzle under the plane, and soon the whole air was filled with green.
It was like a chlorine leak.
"Miss, ZAT is polluting the environment." Tianxiegui reported.
There was no poisonous gas in the air at the 300-meter high building, but looking down, it was like a heavy dusk. It was indeed polluting the environment, and the pollution was serious.
"They also want to destroy the monsters. They have no ill intentions."
Ling also said so, and Tianxie Gui had no choice but to stop.
"Why, you hate the ZAT team?"
From the bottom of my heart, yes.
Tian Xiegui never dared to lie to the eldest lady, so he told the truth.
"The TAC team killed Snokilan at that time. I know it was my fault and I shouldn't have attacked humans, but... because of the development of human technology, too many ghosts have disappeared in more than a hundred years."
"Those who disappeared were your friends?"
Friends? No, they were more likely enemies. But at this point, it didn't matter.
"Whether it's TAC or ZAT, humans' high technology always makes it difficult for us monsters to adapt."
Tian Xiegui is no longer a monster, but he still calls himself a monster.
Lingye understood it in her heart, but she always stood on the side of humans. Although it was a bit unfair to monsters, she could only compensate them as much as possible.
For example, expand Gensokyo a little bit to give monsters more living space.
But in essence, she still leans towards humans.
As for these feathered anteaters, although they are also dark creatures, they are not monsters but alien invaders.
The green powder was scattered all over the streets and also stuck to the bodies of many anteaters.
Their movements gradually slowed down.
"Did it work?"
It was not very clear from the Tianjing, but the next second, tongues of fire rose from the ground and headed straight for the Tianjing.
"What, where did the fire come from..."
Bei Dao tried desperately to pull up the fuselage, but it was too late. One of the wings of the Tianjing was hit by flames.
Only then did they see clearly that the one attacking them was a huge monster.
It has obvious characteristics of flying ants.
Huge mouthparts and arthropod body.
"Where did that monster come from?"
Kitajima managed to keep the plane balanced, but the Tianjing, with its wing damaged, could no longer fly.
Fortunately, Taro was there. He caught the falling Sky Whale and put it back to the ground safely.
"Look, all the ants on the ground are gone. This monster is formed by those ants coming together."
"Is such a thing really possible?"
A large group of ants gathered together and became a big monster.
Isn’t this too unscientific?
"It's possible. Scientists have studied that ants are actually a kind of collective life form. A single ant has no intelligence, but a group of ants can show rationality and have the ability to think as a group!"
A group of ants together is like a brain center. There are tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of ants here, enough to cover an entire city block.
It’s not surprising that they can combine into a monster...right?
"Bei Dao, do you think that if you say something like this seriously, it will appear scientific?"
Seeing Captain Asahina staring at him, Kitajima lowered his head in shame.
Indeed, that is nonsense. The so-called collective intelligence has nothing to do with hundreds of millions of ants combining to form a monster.
"If we don't know, we don't know. It's not that science is wrong, it's just that our level of technology is not yet able to understand it. There's nothing shameful about that."
It's shameful to not know something and yet try to make a conclusion based on your limited knowledge.
