"But before that, a resurrected monster has arrived on Earth. It's King Aire!"
Hearing this name, Seven subconsciously raised his head.
King Aire, that was an enemy he had defeated before. A very powerful monster, its tail once put Seven in a tough fight.
At this moment, the resurrected King Ailei is even more brutal than before.
"Deputy Captain, after comparison, the monster that appeared this time is recorded in the Ultra Guard's data, codenamed Aire King!"
At the ZAT base headquarters, Moriyama reported through the communicator to Araki, who had already set off with Kotaro, Kitajima, and Minamihara in the Sky Whale.
"According to the information, its strongest weapon is its tail, which can release powerful electric currents, enough to even injure Ultra Warriors! Please be careful!"
"Do you have any information yet? How was this monster destroyed?"
The monster that appeared in Tokyo was a beige monster with black spots on its body and a somewhat strange shape.
Where the eyes should be, there are two horns instead. The tail is long, and the overall shape is a bit like a kangaroo.
"It was Seven who used the ice axe to cut off the opponent's tail and head."
"So the tail is both a weapon and a weakness, right?"
"It's true."
Monsters that have appeared before are attacking again, but the good thing is that we already know their origins.
Because the monster appeared too suddenly and there was a temple fair being held on the mountain, it was difficult to evacuate the crowd along the mountain road.
The monster's attack hasn't even arrived yet, but people have already been trampled.
"Please wait, please don't panic! Go one by one!" The elderly Hyuga priest shouted loudly, but almost no one listened to him.
Compared to monsters, the chaotic human heart is more terrifying.
That's true. At first, King Ailei didn't pay attention to the temple fair here. It was the commotion of the crowd that attracted him.
"Captain, the monster is heading towards the crowd. Should we attack?"
Araki was a little undecided, the crowd was threatened, but at the same time, if they attacked, they might cause accidental injuries.
At this moment, a green crescent-shaped energy beam flew over from somewhere and attacked the monster's neck.
The energy was quite strong and it caused the monster to fall backwards, with thick yellow blood even flowing from its neck.
It hurts!
"who is it?"
"Ah! It's Ultraman Ace!"
Bei Dao saw a figure standing on a telephone pole. It was the same size as a human, and the attack just now came from there.
"But, is that really Ace?" Kotaro was a little undecided when he saw it.
That person was not the real Ace. He was wearing a mechanical armor-like suit, and the shape of the armor was indeed somewhat similar to that of Ace's brother.
That is obviously not a technology that humans can possess.
But what made Kotaro a little unpredictable was that the man did have the aura of Ace's brother.
Chapter 429: Moonlight Ailei King
Ace Armor.
This was a gift given to Lingye by the Yawa people when they came to visit a few months ago.
Because he betrayed Zoda, he applied for asylum and prayed for the right to reside in the solar system.
We also wanted to stay here, which was something we could never do back then when we came here with weapons and super beasts to invade. We discussed it calmly and it was easily agreed.
This armor is of no use to Reiya.
If he really possessed the power equal to Ace, it would be similar to the effect of the Ultra Medal. However, the Yabo people claimed that they could create one or two Aces, but in fact, it was just a "claim".
It's just a toy. It's considered high-tech for humans when used in actual combat, but it has no meaning for Gaia.
So she gave it to Nan Xizi.
Standing on top of a tall electric pole, "Ace" looked at the monster.
It's such a familiar feeling, it seems like the days when I fought with Xingsi were just yesterday.
The crowded mountain road returned to order. Everyone saw Ace, so people were no longer afraid, and some even took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
With a leap, "Ace" jumped high from the telephone pole, flew in the air, and landed on a street lamp in the distance.
Then he leaped a few more times, and disappeared from people's sight. Only an arc of light could be seen occasionally flying out in the distance, proving that "Ace" was still fighting. He deliberately led the monster to a sparsely populated area.
"Deputy Captain, what about us?"
"Okay, the monster has been lured away, everyone prepare to fight!"
Whoever that "Ace" was, he was a real help.
The missiles of the ZAT team began to show their power. The Sky Whale and the Condor launched a blanket attack with missiles. No matter what kind of missiles they were, just scatter them all!
The focus is on the monster's tail.
The attack was indeed effective. Today's ZAT team has eliminated a batch of old-style ammunition and is mostly equipped with special ammunition.
The so-called special bullets are weapons that are absolutely prohibited from being used against each other in human warfare.
Including but not limited to decay bombs, annihilation bombs, cell destruction bombs, etc. If the current human beings go back to eight years ago, they don't need Ultraman at all when encountering monsters.
So under the repeated bombardments, King Ai Lei couldn't bear it anymore and made a whining sound.
"Haha, you monster from the universe, let me show you how powerful our ZAT team is!"
"Wait, Captain, something seems wrong!"
Kotaro realized something was odd, but he couldn't put his finger on it. When the smoke from the missile cleared, he realized what he thought was wrong.
The monster was unharmed!
not only that--
"Ah, the place where Ace injured it before has also healed!"
Regardless of whether it was Ace or not, not only the appearance of the armor, but also the aura made Kotaro feel familiar. More or less, he did feel like an older brother.
What’s important is that the wound on the monster’s neck that was cut by the energy arc was bleeding at the time, but now there is no trace of it at all.
"What's with its self-healing ability? This is too exaggerated!"
The previous arc of light did injure King Ailei, as everyone saw. The missile bombardment by the ZAT team was also quite effective, causing King Ailei to retreat step by step.
These are all facts.
But it is also a fact that King Ai Lei was unharmed at this time.
The pair of curved horns on its head, which replaced its eyes, glowed a moonlight-white color under the light of the full moon.
Suddenly, King Ai Lei swung his tail. Because the Tianjing was obviously out of the attack range of its tail, it did not dodge, but it was caught off guard by the sudden burst of flames from the tip of its tail.
The Tianjing was instantly set on fire.
"Oh no, skydive!"
They trusted the previous information too much, and Araki and his companions had never expected that the King Ailei who appeared this time was completely different from the previous one. It could even be said that they were two individuals with no similarities except for their appearance.
"It's absorbing the moonlight!"
Ace——Nan Xizi discovered the secret of the monster.
The energy of the moonlight healed the monster's injuries and gave it endless power.
It was moonlight? How ironic.
On the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, when all living beings admire the moon, in front of the Moon Goddess.
"But why? Isn't moonlight just a reflection of the sun?"
Ling didn't quite understand. If the moonlight from a full moon could heal, then it stands to reason that the healing effect of sunlight should be stronger, right?
After all, moonlight comes from the sun, and after being reflected, it becomes much weaker. It doesn't make sense that sunlight itself is not good, but after being reflected by celestial bodies, it has an effect, right?
Unless aliens on the moon built a base to amplify the monsters.
Of course there is no base on the moon, and if there is one, it is human. The lunar defense force plan is still in its infancy, and the formal construction is not scheduled until next year.
"Scientifically speaking, it is true." Nan Xizi said. She was still wearing Ace's armor, but she had taken off the helmet. It was still quite stuffy wearing the helmet.
"Science? So it's not scientific...oh, it's the mythological angle?"
"Isn't it in the story? During the annual Mid-Autumn Festival full moon, the moonlight may drop the Emperor's Liquid, which can make monsters gain intelligence and become more powerful."
"Where's the monster..."
I always feel that such superstitious words are hard to believe.
"Ling doesn't believe in monsters either?"
"Why not? Of course."
There are a lot of them in Gensokyo. People don't believe in the existence of monsters, but Ling knows it very well. But even if monsters really exist, things like the Emperor's Stream still seem a bit far-fetched.
"It's a bit far-fetched indeed, so I also said it was in the story."
"And what are the facts?"
"I don't know." Nan Xizi said simply.
"Huh? Aren't you the Moon Goddess?"
"Aren't you Gaia? You know everything about the Earth?"
Ling really couldn't answer the question. But when did Nan Xizi become so tricky and unlovable?
"Are you missing Beidou?"
When asked this question, Nan Xizi remained silent. But silence itself is also a kind of answer.
Looking up at the bright moon, the full moon night will naturally evoke people's thoughts. Putting on the Ace armor reminded her of the days when she fought with Beidou.
Days like that were hard, it’s true, but they were also sweet.
They trust each other, and are even one in mind. They are truly one, closer than a married couple, trusting each other without reservation.
