But no matter what, she is the Giant of Light, a force that Machiko is completely unable to resist, and the glass bottle in her hand falls down.
"You worked hard, thank you for protecting Kotaro."
When Kotaro heard Gaia say this, he was a little confused at first, but he soon realized something.
Machiko wanted to resist, but her strength was obviously not enough to break free from the arms of the giant of light that had transformed into Gaia.
"Gaia? Why are you here?"
The cosmic man didn't understand how he had alarmed Gaia.
When it was driving before, it realized that it was accidentally discovered by Gaia, so it would rather deliberately crash the car to create the illusion of self-immolation in a car accident.
Its target is Taro. Even if it defeats Gaia, no one will pay it a commission. It doesn't want to cause any trouble.
But even so, Gaia still appeared.
"Asshole, it was so close!" The alien borrowed Machiko's body, used her appearance, and spoke in her voice, which felt very incongruous.
"The human body is so troublesome and useless!"
"Do you think so?"
Humans are weak, that's a fact. If it had used its real body, it would have killed Taro long ago.
Realizing that the human body was just a burden, Machiko suddenly fell down, and in her place appeared an ugly and terrifying monster!
It was the alien that Lingye had seen before.
This time it finally broke free from Gaia's arms. It stretched a few times on the spot, just like it had been freed from restraints.
It’s still good this way, the alien sighed, it was really cramped to use that small body before.
It looked at Gaia who was nearby, and then looked at Taro behind her.
What a trouble! Kotaro is already blind, and it would be easy to kill him with just one more blow. But now Gaia has appeared, and its assassination plan is impossible to achieve.
So the cosmic people began to think about retreating.
"You just asked me why I showed up. It's because someone asked me for help."
"Help?"
The aliens don’t understand. Its identity deceived Kotaro and also deceived stupid humans. Who else would ask for help?
At that moment just now, Kotaro had no chance to call for help.
Ling didn't answer either.
[Kotaro brother, save Kotaro brother! ]
She heard the voice, and she can still hear it now.
The Gaia doll that Machiko always held in her hand was her last bit of resistance after being manipulated by the aliens when she was weak and unable to resist.
Kotaro, who has the same name as her deceased brother, is also so kind. She doesn't want to see anyone around her die anymore. Kotaro is a good man and he doesn't deserve the bad fate he has suffered.
When she raised the knife and stabbed Kotaro, she didn't want to hurt him at all.
Just like the Miyamizu Shrine, Ultraman is worshipped as a great god and is worshipped with endless incense. The statue of the god is a doll and the portrait is a poster.
If you pray with all your heart, there is really no difference between Gaia's doll and the statue. So Ling did hear Machiko's voice, her sincere and anxious prayer.
[Please, anyone, please come and save Kotaro-ge! ]
The cosmic being does not understand this, and it will never think that such a weak and tiny human being will actually resist. So it is doomed to fail.
At this time, Gaia turned his head and looked sideways at the night sky outside the window.
There is nothing in the sky, this is the human perspective. In Gaia's eyes, there is a row of complex text.
Ott signed.
Before, Kotaro asked his brothers using the Ultra Signature, and now he has an answer.
Kotaro's eyes were temporarily blinded and he couldn't see. Fortunately, Lingye now understands a little bit of the language of the Land of Light.
I'm not very proficient in it, but as long as it's not an uncommon character, there's no problem using it in daily life.
There are indeed no rare characters in this signature. This is Seven's signature.
[Those are the Catan people, an assassin civilization under the Dark Empire.]
The 'Dark Empire' mentioned in the signature is not a specific empire in this era.
Although, it did have a unified regime in the past.
The Gu'a Empire, the Anpera Empire, and others were all famous and powerful, and they all once ruled their respective eras, but these true dark empires have all been destroyed.
Therefore, the Dark Empire mentioned in the Milky Way now is a general term for the remnant civilizations of the past empire, an alliance composed of various aggressive civilizations with a structure similar to the Galactic Federation.
Not long ago, the Imperial Alien who unified a part of civilization and attempted to become the next Dark Emperor was annihilated on Earth, and the so-called "Dark Empire" was in name only.
The Catan people are also a member of this dark alliance, but because they are engaged in assassination work, they are not well-known in the galaxy.
Kotaro had previously used his ZAT authority to look up the data that humans had obtained from the Galactic Federation, but he had not found any similar records. This was because most of the targets targeted by the Catan people were no longer able to speak.
But Seven had heard of it.
Seven is a stellar observer who often travels to different galaxies. Over the past ten thousand years, he has conducted in-depth research on various civilizations and customs in the universe.
So at this moment he responded to Taro's question with an Ultra signature. In addition to the name of the Catan star, the signature also included some of its special abilities. However, Seven's signature was obviously a little late.
Catan's special ability is to blind people, and Kotaro has fallen into it.
"Assassin of the Dark Empire, who asked you to assassinate Taro?"
Meeting her on the road before must have been an accident. Ling also knew that the Catan people’s target was obviously Taro.
The Catan didn't answer. As an assassin, it certainly wouldn't easily reveal the name of its employer.
But Ling could guess it to some extent.
Some people were frightened by Taro's 'Universe Miracle Ray (Unfinished)', and from their initial arrogance, they now want to eliminate Taro from the root.
This is all because Taro has grown up.
Assassination is indeed a method that is difficult to guard against.
"Gaia, this matter has nothing to do with you, and I don't want to invade the Earth. My target is only Taro. If you don't want the lives of people on Earth to be destroyed, don't get involved. This will not benefit you, mankind, or the Earth. I advise you to accept my advice, I will get my commission, and you continue to protect your Earth. Best of both worlds."
"Is this a threat?"
"I think it's more appropriate to call it advice. If you don't want this girl and this hospital to get into trouble, leave here now. Otherwise, as long as I return to my original size, I will crush this hospital to pieces."
This is the truth. If the aliens were to grow in size now, their weight of tens of thousands of tons would indeed collapse the hospital. There would certainly be heavy casualties.
But it obviously lacks some understanding of Gaia. This is understandable, because its target was originally Taro, and it is understandable that it lacks some investigation on objects other than the target.
So when the scenery around them suddenly became different, the Catan people didn't even know what was happening.
The hospital was gone, Machiko was gone, and only the alien, Gaia, and Kotaro were left standing in the ruins of a palace.
"Wait a minute, Gaia, please leave this enemy to me." Kotaro said with narrowed eyes.
In the dark hospital ward late at night, he suddenly came to a secret place under the sun, and his eyes felt the light.
The blinding effect of the Catan was not permanent. Kotaro had recovered a little and could see some shadows vaguely.
Gaia stopped walking when she heard that, she turned around and changed back into Lingye's appearance.
For Kotaro, being attacked by aliens is commonplace, but he cannot forgive the other party for taking advantage of Machiko's kindness. Ling can also understand his anger.
So she walked up to Kotaro and handed him the badge.
That's Taro's emblem.
"Take good care of this and don't lose it. Unless you don't want it anymore, please return it to Mother Ultra in person."
This was the second time Kotaro received the Taro badge from Reiya.
Chapter 451: Taro Explodes Again
"Be careful of its eyes, they can release blinding rays."
Taro nodded, indicating that he certainly knew. After transforming into Ultraman, his vision naturally recovered.
Only when you fall into darkness can you experience firsthand the anxiety of not being able to see. Kotaro has already suffered a loss once, and he is not a fool, so he will suffer a loss again.
So when the Catan's eyes released blinding light again, Taro easily dodged it.
He jumped into the air and kicked the alien to the ground. Then he used the same trick again and kicked him again. The alien rolled on the ground for a long time like a rolling gourd and stopped only after hitting a building.
This is Gaia's secret realm, and there is no need to worry about accidentally hurting anyone, so Taro let go without any worries.
Even these ruined buildings can be used as weapons.
Ling really doesn't care about this.
The secret realm was created because of faith. Even if the things inside were damaged, they could be restored at any time as long as she was willing.
The secret realm will only be destroyed by the collapse of faith, not by physical destruction.
Taro is stronger, he is growing every day.
After being ravaged over and over again by the three Ultra Warriors over the past year, Taro is now able to hold his own against the three phantoms for even a minute without being defeated.
The effect of exercise is obvious.
After only three or five rounds of fighting, the Catan Starman was already somewhat confused. He had thought that Taro was just a rookie in the Kingdom of Light, but he had not expected that he would be more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
To be honest, the Catan people had no confidence that they could defeat Taro in a head-on combat.
It was an assassin, not a warrior who charged head-on. In fact, it should have thought about retreating and escaping the moment the assassination failed, but because of Gaia's unexpected appearance, it did not have this opportunity.
The Catan had a claw on his left hand and a weapon on his right hand. He released flames at Taro, trying to force him back.
Ultraman can only fight for three minutes on Earth, and he knows it very well. As long as he can hold on for three minutes, he will win.
But Taro once again surprised him, facing the thousands of degrees of fire, he did not dodge or avoid it, and walked through the sea of fire.
Can Ultraman's skin survive thousands of degrees without getting hurt?
Of course not, but Taro was different. His whole body was burning with fire, and his entire body turned into a flaming giant.
But it was not the Catan who set his body on fire, it was Taro himself who was burning. The temperature of his flame was even higher than that of the Catan.
Looking at the familiar scene in front of her, Ling already knew what Taro wanted to do.
