"It really is a monster. Could that guy be the nine-tailed fox?"
The huge monster was indeed a nine-tailed fox. It looked like a fox magnified countless times, with nine tails clearly visible behind it.
ZAT was not panicked, but instead breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the monster. Compared to myths, this was an area they were familiar with.
"However, if this is the legendary nine-tailed fox, how did Abe Yasuhiro and the troops suppress it back then?" Kitajima asked a strange but realistic question.
Indeed it is.
That's a huge monster, weighing tens of thousands of tons. Even today, humans' weapons can barely deal with it. But if we go back eight hundred years, what era was that?
How can an army wearing rattan armor and holding wooden bows fight such a huge monster? It's a joke!
Were all humans in the past supermen?
The humans of the past were certainly not supermen, just as the monsters of the past were not monsters.
"So-called monsters are born from human fear, greed, anger and other negative emotions. They draw their power from imagination."
Ling also whispered to Reimu. Because like Kitajima, Reimu also asked the same question.
The monsters around are all like good little kids.
Inuyasha, Seshomaru, the Gyuto, and even Kamishizawa Keiin, who had grown a pair of long horns under the full moon and had a fierce look on his face before, now obediently retracted his claws.
The weapons of the ZAT team were pouring ammunition on the monsters, but the battlefield could not reach here, and everything was peaceful. Because this was a secret place.
It is different from Gensokyo, but it is also a world far away from the world.
It turns out that creating the world is so simple.
Boss, I can't afford to offend you, I really can't afford to offend you. The villagers who were rescued were lying on the ground. They were saved, and the fragments of the killing stone were completely expelled, without any trace left. So apart from being weak, there would be no sequelae when they woke up.
However, Ling was able to save these villagers, but she could not save Sayaka, who had become Tamamonomae's possession three years ago and whose body had long since died. She could not save Jianshan Mei, who had voluntarily accepted the killing stone and gave up his human identity to become an alien.
The former used his body as a battlefield with Tamamonomae for three years and sealed the evil demon, while the latter voluntarily gave up his human body and completely became a part of Tamamonomae.
"There were no monsters at that time, and humans could not imagine monsters, so the monsters born of fear were the most terrifying ones that people could imagine."
With sharp teeth and claws, and the strength of a lion or tiger, this is the most terrifying monster. Wolf monsters, dog monsters, cow monsters, and fox monsters are all images of animals that we can see in daily life. Humans will not imagine something that they have never seen before.
"But now people's fear has turned to monsters and aliens. For eight years, that has been the deepest nightmare in people's hearts. So the monsters born of fear have also become like that."
The nine-tailed fox turned into a monster because of humans.
“Are humans really that powerful?”
Reimu didn't understand. Humans are just mortals and don't have any special abilities. They are not like monsters that can fly or hide.
Compared with the hundreds or thousands of years of life of gods and demons, they are born in a day and die in a night. Whenever there are natural disasters or man-made disasters, the lives of living beings are as cheap as grass.
"But, even if we are as worthless as grass, humans will never submit to demons or be kept in captivity by gods. It has been like this for thousands of years. No matter how dark the times are, there will always be people who will become the light."
“Everyone has something they fear, and there are times when they have to live in disgrace because of fear. But humans, as a species, can always make the impossible possible.”
The Sky Whale and the Super Swallow were circling in the sky, and high-tech weapons that were the crystallization of human wisdom, missiles, and rockets, exploded on the giant nine-tailed fox monster.
Nothing has changed, it's the same as it was eight hundred years ago.
At that time, people wore rattan armor and held bows and spears. It was a dark monster, and should be invulnerable to swords and spears. Lions and tigers were all its toys. Not to mention these bamboo rattan and wooden spears, which were simply a joke.
However, when it came to its senses in anger, it was horrified to find that it was covered with wounds.
Those inconspicuous toys really hurt it. I don't understand, those are just a bunch of trash, ants that live and die in a day, why would they hurt me?
"If you don't even understand this, it proves that you are nothing more than that. Kyuubi, you are just a pathetic creature who can't do anything. You want to overthrow the human world? You don't even know what a 'human' is."
It still remembers that man, Abe Tai's words.
It has been eight hundred years, and now it has become stronger. Has nothing changed?
What exactly is a 'human'? It doesn't understand, it really doesn't understand. The shrine maiden named Isayama Sayaka, whose spiritual power was not that strong, sealed it with her body for three years, but another shrine maiden named Isayama Mei, who had stronger spiritual power, couldn't resist even for a second.
So those people too?
Driving the plane, it knew that it was a human weapon. Like those humans in the past, were they not afraid of death?
Extremely high temperature flames spewed out of the monster's mouth, setting the entire forest on fire.
"Vice Captain, the rockets and missiles don't seem to work." The flames almost affected the Tianjing, and Nanyuan quickly pulled up the joystick to climb urgently. The excessive pressure pressed the people in the cabin tightly on their seats.
"Why, do you want to admit defeat?"
"Ah? Are you kidding me? I'm Nanyuan Tadao, the best Jiro in Kyushu!"
"Haha, that's right. When I was a kid, my grandma always said that as long as you're not afraid of monsters, they will lose."
Things born out of fear cannot stand the light of day. Positive emotions are the best weapons.
"Just go for it. No matter what it is, just blast it at the monster."
Human weapons really made the nine-tailed fox very anxious, and it even thought about escaping.
The next second, the monster disappeared into the air.
"Ah, it's gone!"
"Idiot, that monster must have the ability to turn invisible. I remember there was dye on the Super Swallow. Hey, Kotaro, do you know how to use it?"
The Super Swallow is piloted by Kotaro.
Kotaro checked the ammunition options of the plane and found that there were indeed special bullets filled with dye on the weapon rack.
"Why is there such a thing?"
"It's better to be prepared. In the era of Team Kot, Team MAT, and Team TAC, there are records of fighting against invisible monsters. Practice has shown that dye is a good way to fight."
Their ZAT team, having absorbed the excellent combat experience of their predecessors, is able to deal with most enemies.
They are different from the Kurt team not only in terms of equipment, but also because of the countless combat experiences of their predecessors, which allow them to stand on the shoulders of giants.
"Humanity will continue to grow. Let those space bumpkins have a taste of the power of ZAT."
"But the nine-tailed fox is from Earth..."
Nanyuan tried to criticize him, but Araki glared at him and he couldn't continue.
"Is that what I'm saying? What I'm saying is that our ZAT team, together with Ultraman, is invincible!"
Even without the ZAT team, Ultraman is still invincible. Nanyuan muttered to himself, but wisely kept silent.
The weapon bay door of the Super Swallow opened, and instead of dropping bombs, a large amount of red gas was released. The gas had no aggressive properties, but simply had strong adhesion.
The monster was no longer there, and the Super Swallow began to cruise over a large area. Soon, in a corner of the forest, the dye attached to a transparent object.
"Ah, there it is, right there!"
"Kotaro, be careful! It's going to breathe fire at you!"
As soon as Araki finished speaking, a thick column of fire gushed out of the monster's mouth. Kotaro made an emergency ascent and suddenly shut down the engine, causing the plane to stall and fall. The plane floated down in the air like a leaf, and the zero-radius turn allowed him to avoid the flames.
"Kotaro's driving skills are pretty good."
Before Araki could finish his words, Kotaro's somewhat anxious voice came from the communicator.
"Oh no, the Super Swallow's engine won't start!"
"What? Are you kidding me, Kotaro? How could the Super Swallow have such a low-level malfunction?!"
Seeing the plane really falling, Araki and Nanhara were about to open their eyes to take a closer look, but they saw a strong light flash. Because they had been staring too hard before, the strong light almost made them unable to open their eyes.
"Ah, Taro! It's Taro!"
When his vision returned, the Giant of Light appeared before him.
Taro caught the Super Swallow, which was falling despite being wrongly accused of having no problems, and landed the plane with its engine shut down at the edge of a forest a little further away.
Gaia did not show up, even though he had clearly sensed Ling was nearby.
But Taro didn't care about all that. The previous battles made him realize that he should have been independent and strong long ago.
The Earth is not a training ground, and the battle with monsters is not an assessment of the Space Guard. This is a real battlefield. Every battle determines the life and death of countless people, including Taro himself.
The nine-tailed fox was breathing fire, which was its greatest weapon, just like when it burned down Kyoto.
Taro didn't hide, he stretched out his hand.
He had seen Gaia use the light shield several times in the past. Her light shield was extremely strong and had never been broken by the enemy.
He had long wanted to try this technique.
It's not difficult. It's not difficult to condense energy into a light shield. Probably different from Gaia's principle, the shield surface doesn't have those beautiful and mysterious patterns, but it works.
The light shield did block the flames.
Since Gaia's shield is called Gaia's Shield, let's call his shield Taro's Shield. Easy to understand.
Where the flames and light shields were at a stalemate, an emotion was conveyed.
The emotion of fear is the fear of monsters.
Taylor was not afraid, even though that emotion could directly affect the body, tighten the heart, paralyze the breathing, and directly make the body think that it was afraid.
But that was not Kotaro's emotion, and certainly not Taro's. He could easily tell the difference.
It was probably because of the despair he experienced time and time again during his training with Gaia.
This is probably what it means that people who have seen Shura will not be afraid of little ghosts.
With the light shield at his back, Taro advanced instead of retreating, so the monster had to retreat continuously. He accidentally stepped on a ravine and fell backwards on his back.
"This nine-tailed fox doesn't seem very smart."
Bei Dao originally thought that the legendary fox spirit should be more intelligent, after all, it is a thousand-year-old fox.
Tamamonomae in the story also used trickery to gain the emperor's favor, and no concubine in the harem could compete with her for favor.
But Tamamonomae is a given name, and its true form is the Killing Stone. It once possessed the daughter of a samurai family so that she could enter the palace. Now it possesses the shrine maiden of the Isayama family.
Now, the two priestesses of the Isayama family have both been reincarnated, and only the Killing Stone itself remains.
Taylor also saw this.
That's it.
"Light of Taro, crush it!"
