But even if not, if you gather enough energy beforehand, you can still become Taro, even if it's a little difficult.
The beam of light in his hand might be able to transform him into the form of the Taro Titan.
But after hesitating for a while, Kotaro did not choose to let the light bloom. He put it away.
"Why, you're not going to become Taro?"
Goenitz said confidently, he was not afraid of Kotaro's transformation at all. Darkness formed a hurricane around him.
"I won't turn into Taro. You are also a 'human', aren't you?"
It’s not that he can’t transform, but Kotaro already knows that this is not an enemy that Taro from the Land of Light can destroy. Only Kotaro from Earth can defeat him!
Because this is not the fate of the Kingdom of Light being destroyed, but the fate of humanity itself being destroyed!
As Taro, he defeated the Kingdom of Light's once-in-50,000-year catastrophe. Gaia could have killed Zoda, but she didn't because it was not allowed. The Kingdom of Light had to defeat the other side.
This time it is a disaster for the earth, the punishment that mankind must bear for its past sins.
It also cannot be solved by the hands of others, and the people of Earth must get through it themselves.
Kotaro tried to move his feet. It was difficult, the quagmire that submerged his ankles felt like dried cement.
He pulled out his ZAT gun.
"It's useless, Kotaro. Do you think you alone can bear all the sins of mankind? If you want to shoot, then shoot. But between you and me, who will the bullet hit?"
Kotaro realized that this was not an exaggeration, because deep in his heart he really had the idea of shooting himself, so much so that the hand holding the gun actually pointed the gun at himself little by little.
It wasn't the other person who was controlling his body, Kotaro was very clear about this, it was truly his own thought.
Living things have the instinct to survive, but they also have the instinct to seek destruction, hate themselves, escape from reality, and long for eternal peace.
"You see, those things you hide in your heart are always there."
On the sea, Gaia defeated the ominous black fog again and again.
But no matter how many times it is destroyed, it will appear again.
It is indeed endless, just like she can get endless energy as long as she steps on the earth. The other party was also born on the earth, and as long as he is on the earth, he will get endless supplies.
The difference is that her supplies come from the will of the planet, while the other party's supplies come from the dark side of human heart.
Unless... all humans are wiped out
Ling was shocked when this thought came to her mind. Was she also affected by it without realizing it?
It was terrifying, but she herself hadn't noticed anything, even after carefully examining her body, she didn't detect any signs of being invaded. It was as if it really came from her heart.
Ling also knew that she was not tainted by ominous pollution, on the contrary, the glory of humanity was with her.
The black-haired, red-eyed girl merged into the body of the giant of light, and Gaia's body glowed with golden light.
Brilliant Quantum Streamline!
The surging light energy exceeded the limits of time and space, causing things to become distorted and collapse towards the center of the energy trajectory.
The dark monster was completely powerless to resist, and half of its body was wiped out in an instant.
The quantum streamlines were so powerful that it was unreasonable. Even if one traveled throughout the entire universe, including the Kingdom of Light, there was probably no single unit that could output such powerful energy.
Perhaps it could only be compared to the cosmic miracle ray that Taro used to gather all the strength of his brothers and touch the "miracle" field in an instant.
Erased at the source, anything destroyed will never appear again in any timeline or causal logic.
After that attack, the black fog dissipated, and the only thing left was the core in the center of the monster, because Kotaro and Team Kitajima were there.
Then, Ling was disappointed to find that in just a moment, the large amount of unknown objects that gushed out of the core constructed the monster's body.
like water off a duck's back.
Just as Goenitz said, no matter how powerful she was, she could only watch from the sidelines.
Ling also stood here as a giant of light. She did not attack the monster, and the monster ignored her. The monster had no hostility towards her. Its hostility was only towards humans, not the earth itself.
Born out of human sin, the only purpose of this creature is to destroy humanity itself. This is the destructive instinct of self-destruction.
"Kotaro..."
Kotaro was fighting himself, and the instinct awakened within him wanted to kill himself.
The thought was so strong that the dam of Kotaro's reason was about to burst in just a moment.
【Humans are born with sin】
[It's so painful, life is so tiring, why should I live if it's so hard every day? I'm going to die under the monster's feet anyway, why should I struggle so ugly? ]
[I’m so tired, so tired…]
[The end of a tiring life is also death, why can't we be freed earlier? 】
[Yes, it would be better if I died]
【Death, everything is destroyed】
[Death is the final forgiveness. Quiet, no longer disturbed. No more worries and pains]
Countless voices intertwined in my mind, the despair of tens of millions of people.
How can one person bear the despair of millions of people?
His mouth was full of the taste of blood because Kotaro had bitten his gums, but he could not feel it at all. But he still had a trace of clarity because he heard a voice calling his name.
"Kotaro!"
Mother……
No, it was Gaia. It was Reiya's voice.
"You are wrong about one thing, Goenitz."
The priest frowned. He didn't expect Kotaro to be able to speak.
"Humanity did fall into despair at one point, and even formulated something like the 'Friendship Plan'. But alas, this planet forgave us."
"What do you want to say?"
Kotaro actually pulled his feet out of the mud on the ground, and then took one step after another.
This was beyond Goenitz's expectations, and he took a step back unconsciously.
"This planet gives humans a chance to beg for forgiveness. Humans are just like that. Sometimes they are really bad, I admit that. But as long as there is a god willing to listen to prayers, as long as there is any hope of being redeemed, humans will try their best until the last moment."
The time has not yet come for human beings to become extinct.
Brother Seven said that even if he was covered in wounds, he would still protect this place.
Brother Jack said that he had a promise with the children on Earth that humans could also see the Ultra Star if they had the courage.
Brother Ace said that the children still have a tomorrow, and he is the Ace who protects tomorrow.
So Kotaro was willing to believe that humans had a future. In the past year, he had eliminated enemies one after another with this idea in mind. Then he was trusted and appreciated by others.
Kotaro has realized why he can still remain sane amidst millions of curses.
Because he also has the blessings of hundreds of millions of people who trust and appreciate Taylor. Those positive emotions cannot be seen or touched, but they do exist and bless him.
Among them, the most precious blessing is——
【Kotaro】
He was sure that he heard the sound. Even though the remnants of the shattered embers covered everything around him, the sound still reached him.
This is a blessing from Gaia.
Kotaro threw a powerful punch, hitting Goenitz in the face.
"You bastard, try the boxing I've been training for a year! I'm the champion of the Tokyo County Tournament!"
He saw Lingye, she was no longer the image of the Giant of Light, but had turned back into a human. Next to her was a girl with black hair, red eyes, and wearing a kimono.
Ling did not move, but the girl walked in front of Kotaro. She held Kotaro's fist with her hand, and her whole body seemed to blend into it.
For the survival of the human species, for the people you love and who love you, you will fight endlessly, whether it takes a thousand years or ten thousand years.
The brilliance of humanity. Kotaro truly felt it.
"Kotaro, beat him up."
"Oh!"
He heard Ling say this, so he responded loudly.
It's no different from an ordinary boxing match, this is his boxing ring.
Ling also sat down casually, like an ordinary spectator. Since Goenitz asked her to watch, she watched carefully.
She was sure that Kotaro would not lose.
Because humans will not succumb to their animal nature, they will definitely desire light more than darkness.
Chapter 498: Farewell
Although he seldom mentioned it, Kotaro never gave up boxing during this year, training hard and competing hard.
He won the Tokyo competition. Although Tokyo, as the capital, is a city, it is equivalent to the county level.
With more than 40 counties across the island nation, the next step is to compete for the national championship.
Kotaro didn't expect that before the national championship game, he would have to compete with another person.
Goenitz stood in an extremely strange posture, and it was hard to tell whether it was disdain or vigilance.
Negative emotions are lurking around, but that’s okay.
This planet is still young, and it is far from being destroyed. The same is true for the humans on the planet. Compared with those who are in despair, more people still hold hope for the future.
Straight punch, uppercut.
Kotaro's punches were fast and his movements were standard, all the result of a year of training. On the other hand, Goenitz's movements were very strange.
Scratching, tearing, and scratching, he was like a wild animal, without any rules, using more instincts. But his speed was as fast as a storm.
On one side are humans, and on the other side are beasts.
Kotaro's fist hit Kogonitz's face hard, and the opponent's claws also left bloody marks on Kotaro's chest, arms and thighs many times.
Blood was flowing, and the ZAT uniforms had been torn into beggar's clothes.
