A special fishing rod, not one specially made on Earth, but a weapon exclusive to Haruki.
Every Balki is a natural sea fishing king, and the fishing rod in their hands is their life!
So it’s definitely not that his sea fishing skills are bad, it’s that the fishing rods on Earth are too bad!
It was true. After changing the fishing rod and throwing down the bait made of wheat and tofu dregs, a fish took the bait in less than three minutes!
"I think you cheated, didn't you? Such a big black porgy?"
Cheating? Can sea fishing be called cheating?
Soon, another big fish was caught.
Haruki cried out in surprise. The huge force almost dragged him into the sea! Fortunately, he remembered in time that he was not from Earth.
If it were a human's fishing rod, it would have broken long ago!
Looking down over the sea was a huge shadow.
"Just kidding!"
Everyone around gathered around, and it turned out to be a whale shark that was seven or eight meters long!
Can you catch a whale shark using a fishing rod?
Haruki was very pleased with everyone's surprise and envy. Yes, that's the feeling!
It was great, he felt great!
"I think you can feel better."
Chunmu was startled. He didn't know when a priest stood behind him. Like everyone else, the priest was staring at the whale shark that came ashore with interest.
However, Haruki felt that the other party seemed to be more interested in him.
"Who are you exactly?"
The people around him left without him noticing. Even the angler who was competing with Haruki packed up his gear and left the beach.
Although no one was driving them away, these people seemed to have received some orders.
Haruki vaguely felt that something was wrong, and what was even more wrong was the feeling that the priest gave him.
"It's amazing to catch a whale shark like this."
"Oh, thank you."
"But Balki, are you satisfied with just catching a whale shark? Don't you want to own the entire ocean of the earth?"
Haruki... Balki was shocked. How could he dare to have such an idea!
Anyone who wants to lay hands on the earth will have a bad end, even Zoda is finished!
Not to mention competing with Zeus, even if any random Baltan came from its army, it would be enough to deal with me.
He is from the cosmic sea tribe and he really just goes around fishing. How could he know how to fight?
Really, even human weapons can kill him. Maybe the Earthlings could spray a gasoline can on him and burn him to death.
"You...who are you?"
"I am from Earth," Goenitz said.
Damn the earthlings, if they have such a strong sense of oppression, why do we need Ultraman?
"I have no intention of invading the Earth..."
"No, you do. You might as well think about it now."
The Balki star's eyes were somewhat dull, and his mind was gradually confused. The priest walked closer to him step by step until the two of them became one.
After a moment, Balki, the only one left, looked down at the captured whale shark.
The whale shark struggled painfully for a few times, its body gradually grew larger, and finally turned into a whale shark monster!
"Yes, that's right. Humans have no compassion for such a precious ocean... The ocean on Earth belongs to me, to us Balki people. I will cherish it."
The confidence that came from nowhere made him feel better than ever before.
"Samey Whale, attack all man-made things in the sea and drive humans out of the ocean!"
The whale shark monster let out a loud roar.
It was two days later that the ZAT team received information that a ship had been attacked.
"Captain, we have received a report that the Thomson Oz tanker was attacked by a monster in the Pacific Ocean."
"Isn't this our jurisdiction?"
"The incident happened in the Panama Sea, which is the territory of the Pacific Joint Forces. But the monster is elusive, and the Joint Forces didn't find any clues, so they notified the world."
As the notice said, the monster was not just lurking in Panama. In the next few days, ships were attacked in the four oceans around the world.
So much so that some countries have issued navigation bans prohibiting departure from ports.
"Maritime trade is the main means of global international trade and is more important than aviation. Every day it stops is a huge loss for all countries!"
"The Defense Force requires us to cooperate with all nations and work together to destroy that monster!"
Chapter 494: The Blocked Ocean
That day, mankind lost the sea.
The world's major ports were closed to trade and there were no more oil tankers on the sea, the first time in hundreds of years since the Age of Discovery.
Every day this situation continues, the losses caused are immeasurable.
But there was no way out, the ocean was blocked. No one wanted to encounter a monster, and many ships had sunk. I don't know what the monster could do. The ocean was so vast that it could find any ship sailing in it.
A monster blocked the four oceans.
If this were a joke, it wouldn't be funny at all. Unfortunately, this is not a joke.
In just two days, even several warships were sunk.
"It moved too fast. Please look at the locations where cargo ships from various countries were attacked. From Panama to Alaska, and then to the Bering Strait, the three locations were attacked within the same hour."
The monster's speed in the water was like a rocket.
"And every time they appeared from the bottom of the sea, they were not even afraid of depth charges. They encountered the Pacific Fleets of the United States and the Soviet Union. After the encounter, the human fleet suffered greater losses, sinking several submarines and destroyers, and even severely damaging an aircraft carrier."
"The report said that the monster took the initiative to withdraw from the battle in the end. From the observation results, it did not achieve any significant results. It only suffered some minor injuries, which were not even enough to affect its actions. It just did not want to get entangled with human warships."
After listening to the report, the deputy director, who had come from the Defense Force Headquarters to attend the meeting at the Far East Branch, turned and looked at Ryugoro beside him.
"Any ideas, Commander Long?"
The headquarters had high hopes for the Far East Branch, because most of the world's monster attacks occurred here, and they had always been able to solve the problems in the past few years.
Ryugoro didn't have a good solution. The Soviet Union was also a member of the Defense Forces, and the Far East Branch had more weapons and equipment there.
But the Soviet Pacific Fleet still lost.
He knew that the reason why the world's attention was focused on the Far East Branch was because Ultraman often appeared here.
What everyone is looking forward to is not the Far East Branch's planes and missiles, but the power of the Giant of Light. To be honest, being "expected" like this is really frustrating. Humans don't believe in themselves and always hope for a "miracle" to happen.
But speaking of Ultraman, the Earth is indeed "powerful enough" now.
In the Earth's orbit, in the big gyroscope of the MAC team, Tuan Moroboshi has returned and is serving as the captain.
In the ZAT team, Kotaro is still there.
And the most reassuring one is Gaia, who always stays on Earth.
But even so, Long still feels that he should not rely on Ultraman. Ultraman will only appear when humans have tried their best but are still helpless.
"Captain Asahina, do you have any good ideas?" Long asked Captain Asahina who was sitting at the last seat.
All the people present were high-ranking officers of the Defense Force. In terms of rank, the captain of the ZAT team was indeed the lowest. But now everyone was looking forward to them, after all, that was a team that specialized in destroying monsters.
It’s really interesting. The headquarters is looking forward to the Far East Branch, and the Far East Branch is looking forward to the ZAT team.
"Well, to deal with underwater monsters, the only means available are submarines and underwater tanks. But if I may be frank, the reliability of underwater tanks is really not that good."
Hearing what Asahina said, Ryugoro was also deeply touched. He was promoted from a first-line captain and had experienced all that.
Underwater chariots and underground chariots are actually the same thing. The Palumida can be used both underwater and underground.
Both the TAC team and the ZAT team had been troubled by that type of weapon. Ryugoro still remembered the feeling of being helpless with his team members at a depth of four thousand meters.
If it weren't for Gaia, the TAC team would have been wiped out underground.
Whether it is about the underground or the deep sea, humans really know too little. There are still too many secrets there. In other words, from the beginning to the end, humans have never really understood the planet they have lived on for hundreds of thousands of years.
There is really no good solution at the moment except to step up patrols.
"Kuji, do you have any ideas?"
Dr. Kiji, who is now the deputy director of the Special Weapons Research Bureau (Meteor Technology) under the Defense Forces' Science and Technology Research and Development Department, thought about it for a few minutes. No one urged him, and then he nodded.
"Commander, you should know that our defense forces are not short of powerful weapons that can kill with one blow. The monster currently roaming the sea, judging from the results of the army's encounters with it, is not so powerful that it is invincible."
Although the human fleet suffered greater losses, it also inflicted some damage to the enemy.
Even minor injuries are injuries.
Among all the monsters encountered in the past, there are many that cannot be penetrated even by special weapons. From what Mu Kaji personally experienced, no matter whether it is Baraba, Pigeon Ultra Beast, or King Qiangbo, their defense cannot be penetrated no matter how much bombardment they are subjected to.
This monster in the sea collected the opponent's blood and tissue cells in the sea, which means that it can be broken through by just conventional human missiles.
"According to the analysis of the monster biological samples collected by the Northern Branch of the Defense Force, it was transformed from a whale shark, and some of it is highly likely to have the same genes as the biological organisms on the planet Balji."
"Planet Balji? Are the Balji people causing trouble?"
The Balji people are aliens who entered the Earth in a formal way in the Galactic Federation, so they are registered in detail. Therefore, humans have detailed information about this civilization.
"Commander, after the genetic sequence was determined, I have already looked up the information of the Balji people in detail. The reason for their entry is to come to Earth to participate in the sea fishing competition. The entry application is for one month."
"From the records of the past ten days, he was just like a normal tourist, without any suspicious behavior, but he suddenly disappeared yesterday. So we have reason to believe that this incident is related to him. But in the monster's genes, we also detected something incomprehensible."
"Can't understand?"
"Yes, I can't describe it in words, or it may be due to the limitations of human technology. It's very strange. In fact, just wanting to test it, we lost an instrument. The detector crashed from hardware to software. So I have ordered all samples to be sealed."
It's not that Earth looks down on second-level civilizations. For example, the civilization of Balji Star is higher than that of Earth. But Mu Qi doesn't think Balji Star can have such a high level of technology.
It's very simple, because when the Yabo people, who Mu Qi dealt with the most during the invasion of Earth, did not have such technology.
