"I'm sorry, but I can't offer any help in this battle."
The lair of Zoda is too far away, millions of light years away. At this distance, the energy of the Earth cannot be transmitted to Gaia.
After all, she is just a giant of light, not the will of the planet in the endless multiverse.
Unless he used the will of the planet to shoot an arrow like before, but that would be meaningless. If he wanted to destroy Zoda, the arrow shot more than a year ago would have done it.
I didn't kill it then, so I certainly won't do it this time.
This world has guardians of balance who will allow a little transgression, but will not be too tolerant without limits.
The Zoda that occurs every 50,000 years is the world's "mistake" and the "catastrophe" that this universe sends to all civilizations.
It is not a superficial distinction between good and evil. This is the catastrophe that the civilization of this universe is destined to experience.
There is no need for any force beyond the concept to intervene.
If she acted as Gaia, the Giant of Light, it would be allowed. But if it was Gaia, the Will of the Planet, then it would be against the rules.
Kotaro did not expect to get help from Gaia.
"You've helped me more than enough. I mean, I don't know how long this expedition will take, so I'll leave Earth's affairs to you for now."
Ling was also amused. Entrust the earth to her? She herself is the earth. Kotaro must have said it the other way around.
The Kingdom of Light has no obligation to protect the Earth. This is her responsibility.
"Have a safe trip and come back safely."
This blessing made Kotaro a little dazed.
I'm out
Bon Voyage】
Just like a family member leaving home, the Earth is of course his home. He will not leave here, even if the mission of guarding the Earth is completed, he still wants to stay on Earth.
Therefore, he is really just going out for a while now.
"Well, I will be back safely."
Except for the captain, all members of the Space Guard headed for Zoda's lair.
There is not only one Zoda there, but also a large number of dark legions. It is really hard to say how long such a war will last.
During this time, Gaia was really the only one on Earth.
"I'll try to be back before the New Year."
"That's fine, I'll treat you to some rice cakes when I get back. It's been so long, how are we going to explain this to the ZAT team?"
"I told Captain Asahina that I had something going on back home, and he granted me a month's leave. The captain is very easy to talk to."
It is true that he is easy to talk to. Or rather, too easy to talk to!
"Captain, Kotaro asked for a month's leave?"
In the ZAT team, Aragaki was a little bit unbelievable. The ZAT team rarely had vacations, let alone such a long month. It was incredible that such a long vacation could be approved.
"That's what's going on, so you have to bear with me for the next month."
"That's no problem. But what on earth would take him so long?"
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask."
Shouldn't I ask? Araki suddenly realized. So Kotaro wasn't really on vacation, but was assigned to carry out a secret mission under the guise of vacation?
He felt that his idea should be correct. Although he was curious about what the mission was, he was very clear about the discipline and did not ask any more questions.
However, everyone felt a little uncomfortable when they thought about Kotaro's absence.
Although I didn't feel it at ordinary times, he wasn't a particularly reliable person. In fact, that guy often disappeared in the middle of a battle.
In the end, it was discovered that he was either running to save people, or running directly to the monster, talking to himself. Several times, if Taro had not appeared to save him, he would have died.
But it must be said that Kotaro is already a comrade who people can trust to have his back.
Even Moriyama seemed a little absent-minded.
One month, I hope his mission goes smoothly.
At this moment, outside the Earth, the news that the Kingdom of Light was besieging Zoda was spreading throughout the universe. Everyone had waited for too long. Everyone was eager to celebrate.
For more than half a year, the Zodar Legion was wreaking havoc in the Milky Way, while the Space Guard was hiding in the solar system and not going out, and everyone in the entire galaxy was in danger.
The five Ultra Brothers of the Space Guard, now six brothers, are finally setting out.
On the coast, Kotaro looked at his brothers in front of him, and they were all looking at him.
Needless to say.
Hayata took out the Beta Magic Wand, Moroboshi Tuan took out the Ultra Glasses, Beidou put the rings on both hands together, and Sasui Kazuo raised his hands.
The light blooms here.
Kotaro took out the Taro badge and held it to his chest.
This time it will be the decisive battle.
"Taro!"
When the huge heat source rose into the sky, the ZAT team, the defense forces, and other related organizations on Earth all saw the images captured by the satellite.
The Ultra Brothers, Zoffy, the First Generation, Seven, Jack, Ace, and Taro, no one knew what happened, but everyone who saw this scene was in awe.
"salute!"
Asahina called out, and the ZAT members all stood in silence and saluted, watching the space heroes go off.
With the Milky Way as the background, extending from the direction of the sky, looking towards the starry sky, looking towards the universe, the light of the Ultra Brothers is like a scorching sun.
"Taero is gone."
"Well, the next battle will depend on us."
Araki said seriously.
Having said that, the next few days were peaceful and no more monsters appeared.
This is of course a good thing.
HOTEL-GOURMET, Chef Komatsu has determined the culinary theme for the hotel's special dishes tomorrow and sees his assistant knocking on the door.
"Chef, your email."
"Ah, thanks."
Komatsu was polite to everyone. The mail was not a letter, but a small package, and the sender's name was registered as Saiba Seiichiro.
Chef Caibo.
They were already familiar with each other and often went on quests together in the game "Monster Hunter".
That game is indeed very interesting. Many scholars in the academic community have proven that many of the animals in the game actually existed in past history.
As for those that are not recorded, they may be true, but there is no relevant literature in academia yet.
Komatsu is not an archaeologist, but as a chef, that also means that the animals in the game are really ingredients that existed in the past. This is a very interesting thing for a chef.
Past, extinct ingredients.
However, games are just simulations after all. It would be nice if he could taste it, maybe it would inspire him to have more ideas.
With this in mind, Xiaosong unpacked the package. Although he and Chef Caibo were already familiar with each other in the game, they had little contact offline. They both had their own restaurants to run.
The restaurant in the Sky Arena has already opened and is packed with people every day. Saiba has to take turns to take care of the three meals at the Oshima family and Shinomiya, and also run his own restaurant, so he is no more free than Komatsu.
When I opened the package, I was surprised to find a headband inside. This kind of thing makes people subconsciously think it is a female thing, but it also contains a handwritten letter from Chef Caibo.
"Five senses immersion system?"
The five-sense immersion system is not manufactured in large quantities because it is too disconnected from reality. Ling also has no plans to market it in the near future and it is only used in a small range.
A batch was provided to the ZAT team. They were specially made and had information about monsters imported into them.
The rest were for civilian use. In addition to Sakura and Tomoyo, she gave one pair to Alice, a classmate who stayed at home, and made a few pairs for her family members in the manor.
Of course, Jianye, Maria, Caiba, Shinomiya, and Hachiken all have them, and if there are a few extra pairs, they can be given to others if they need them.
Since the data of Monster Hunter was imported into the Five Senses Immersion System and the five senses data was added, Chef Caibo was immediately attracted. Now, cooking and tasting are indeed realistic.
Not long after, Chef Cai Bo asked Ling to take an extra device, saying that it was a gift for a friend.
When Xiaosong followed the simple instructions and lay down to enter the system, his eyes went dark. When he regained his vision, he saw an extremely bright world.
"Caibo?"
"My name here is A Lu." Chef Cai Bo, who had been waiting for him online, showed a Shura smile, "Welcome to the new world. As a welcome gift, come and taste it. This is the real gem meat I cooked. I will give you the recipe!"
Shura will never be full. What fills his stomach is never food, but the endless creative recipes of dishes.
"Is this considered a food battle?" Komatsu was not to be outdone. When it came to food, he would never back down.
The Shokugeki in the Sky Arena was just a game. Komatsu didn't lose, he just gave up the game.
"Shokugeki? Interesting, let's do this. Whoever loses will give the other party a unique elite-level or higher ingredient for research."
Originally, they were just ingredients in the game, but here, with smell and taste, they are no different from ingredients outside. They are all things that can inspire their inspiration and break the framework of cooking.
It is worth mentioning that "Monster Hunter", which is accessed through the five senses device, is still connected to the mobile game.
It's just that other people use their phones to operate, and they can access their five senses and immerse themselves in this world directly. In a way, it's like an NPC.
Chapter 462: Off-campus Extension Studies
In the middle of the night, ZAT's radar showed something unusual, as if a foreign object fell from the sky.
But the time was very short and it passed by so quickly that it was not noticed at the time, leaving only a little data in the report.
When changing shifts in the morning, Beidao Qinghe discovered this after checking yesterday's data.
"It could be a meteorite that fell in Yamanashi. We haven't received any abnormal reports, so it looks like there should be no problem."
In most cases, it should be fine. After all, if we take global statistics, the Earth receives about five tons of meteorites every day. On average, six to seven thousand meteorites fall to Earth each year.
This is a common phenomenon that happens every day.
Ueno, who took over, drove the Condor to that place for a few routine patrols and found nothing unusual.
