Chapter 224 The Blue Giant! The Will of the Ocean Emerges!
Above the boundless yellow sand, intense electric currents surged through the cold metal spear, frantically flowing into Gaia's massive body.
"Ugh—!"
Gaia let out a painful groan, and the life meter on its chest began to flash rapidly red.
The urgent "ding-dong" sound, like a death knell, struck the hearts of every viewer in front of the screen.
High in the sky, inside the command center of the Mir.
Georgie Leland looked at Gaia, whose red light was flashing in the rolling yellow sand.
"Something seems to be glowing! The giant's energy level is dropping rapidly!"
Li Muzi bit her lip tightly, her hands flying across the keyboard: "It might be out of power! Its light is getting weaker!"
The barrage of comments on the screen almost froze for a moment, before erupting in an explosive burst.
[I think Gaia's flashing red light sounds pretty good.]
[This is so frustrating! This metal monster is a total cheat! Physical attacks can't break its defenses, and it can even transform and generate electricity!]
Metal monsters are too effective against melee combat! Whether it's Tiga or Dyna, it always feels like these robots have super armor.
[My dream! Use your invincible quantum physics to think of a solution!]
[Oh no, is it going to be a disaster in just the third episode?]
Amidst the yellow sand, Gaia gripped the metal spear piercing his body tightly.
Pain did not break him; the weight and resilience of the earth erupted completely at that moment.
With the support of the lightning team in the air, accompanied by a deep roar, Gaia exerted its strength and shattered the cage of lightning!
But at this point, his physical strength had reached its limit.
There was no time to execute the extremely restrained and time-consuming pre-cast animation of the Photon Ice Blade.
In my dream, in a desperate situation, relying on the instinct brought by my Earth consciousness, I quickly crossed my hands in front of my chest, drew a semi-circle, and then suddenly stretched them out to the right.
The extremely compressed photon energy explodes in an instant!
Quantum streamlines!
The crimson destructive ray, carrying an overwhelming force, struck Apate's chest with a deafening roar!
"Boom—!"
The violent explosion created a wall of fire tens of meters high in the desert.
After this all-out attack, Gaia could no longer hold on. Its massive body crashed to its knees on the sand, panting heavily. The red light on its chest flickered more and more rapidly, as if it might go out at any moment.
However, a chilling scene unfolded.
As the smoke cleared, Apatena's cold, metallic body, though blasted with a large hole, showed liquid metal at its edges writhing and reforming at a visible speed.
In just a few seconds, it was standing perfectly intact again.
Apate, like an emotionless executioner, slowly raised his right hand, which once again transformed into an enormous metal spear that gleamed with a deadly cold light.
With heavy steps, it approached Gaia, who was no longer able to fight.
The viewers in the live chat were completely plunged into despair.
How the hell are we supposed to fight this?! They're already getting their comeuppance in the third episode?!
This monster is far more imposing than Gob!
[Physical damage immunity, infinite regeneration! Gu Laozei, are you designing a cheat code here?!]
[Where are the Lightning Team?! Where is the Peace?! Why are you just standing by and watching?!]
Just as Apatee raised her spear, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Gaia at the last possible moment.
"call out--!"
An extremely dazzling, pure, ice-blue beam of light shot out from the horizon without warning!
The blue light struck Apate's raised right arm with terrifying speed and precision.
"Bang!"
The seemingly indestructible metal spear shattered instantly before this blue light, like fragile glass!
The powerful impact sent the 50,000-ton metal monster flying backward, crashing heavily onto the sand dune.
A clear, tinkling sound, accompanied by an ethereal female voice chanting, suddenly appeared.
The exclusive background music of a certain arrogant king suddenly started playing at this moment.
The strong winds swept up the yellow sand.
Gaia struggled to lift her head and looked in the direction from which the blue light was coming.
The dust that filled the sky gradually settled away.
Atop a distant sand dune, a new giant of light, its body a deep blend of ocean blue and silver, with sharp lines and an aura of aloofness that keeps strangers at bay, stands silently amidst the raging wind.
He didn't adopt any fighting stance, but simply lowered his head slightly, his milky-white eyes, as cold as ice, staring at the fallen Apate, and also as if looking at Gaia, who was kneeling on the ground.
Holy crap!!!
[It's blue!]
[That's class! That's charisma! He's so damn handsome!]
[One hit and Apatee's long arm is dead? That damage number is a bit outrageous!]
[He's already this handsome right from the start?!]
In the scene, the blue giant did not linger.
He didn't even glance at Gaia. After confirming that the threat from Apatee had been temporarily averted, he slowly turned around. Accompanied by a deep blue light, his massive body gradually blurred and disappeared in the sandstorm.
Gaia, covered in wounds, was left alone, kneeling in the vast desert, gazing in the direction where the blue light had disappeared, lost in deep confusion.
The camera slowly zooms out.
Looking down from above Gaia, the devastated desert and the red giant of light are captured in a single image.
The atmosphere of mystery, suspense, and shock was pushed to its peak.
"Tick-tock—"
The screen went black, and the soothing intro to the end credits song, "Lovin' You Lovin' Me," suddenly began.
Episode 3, the main feature ends here!
Countless viewers who had just experienced the highs and lows and the adrenaline rush were stunned for a few seconds when faced with the sudden black screen. Then, they stirred up an extremely terrifying tsunami of traffic on major social media platforms and forums.
……
Half an hour later, the largest tokusatsu (special effects) forum in China was launched.
A post titled "[In-depth analysis: Gaia Episode 3 information explosion! The shocking plot of the Ocean Light and the Destruction Summoning Entity!]" was instantly pushed to the most prominent position on the homepage with an extremely terrifying reply speed.
[Post #1 is a research fanatic]:
Kids, the pacing of this script is terrifying! Just three episodes! In just three episodes, a grand, realistic, and terrifying near-future world has been completely unfolded!
Today's episode was absolutely phenomenal! Let's break it down bit by bit! First and foremost, the most stunning moment was definitely the appearance of the blue Ultraman at the very end. Do you all remember the man in the black leather jacket that KCB reporter Jing Ling encountered in the hallway before his appearance?
[I'll take the second floor, I'll add three]:
You must remember that!
That guy was such a show-off! The moment he said "Don't look back," I got goosebumps! Does the poster mean that the man in black is Lan Ao's human form?!
[3rd Floor All-Night Cultivation Party]:
This is obviously an open game!
The man in black had just finished saying, "I want to spread Ultraman's heroic image throughout the world," when the metal monster was immediately attracted, and then Blue Oo appeared to save the day.
Who else could it be but him?
But I don't understand why he wants the whole world to know about Ultraman?
Is this helping Gaia, or harming Gaia?
[Post #4 is a research fanatic]:
This is the crux of the problem!
Please pay attention to the original line of the man in black: "Spread the heroic image of Ultraman throughout the world, so that everyone in the world knows it."
Combined with my dream's key analysis on the Peace Ship: "I know why he disguised himself as a human! He must have seen Ultraman somewhere in the universe. That's why he came to Xia Country!"
Brothers, this is terrifying to think about!
Why did Apate come to Earth? Because it received a faint radio wave emitted by KCB TV station in space!
The content of this radio wave was Gaia's battle footage!
The man in black deliberately had Jing Ling report on Ultraman extensively. On the surface, it was to promote the hero, but in reality, he was exposing Gaia to the entire universe!
He's using Gaia as bait to lure the "Destruction-Inducing Entities" from the universe!
[5th Floor: Pure Love Warrior Slays Minotaur!]
Holy crap! You've already analyzed so much information from just the third episode? OP, your analysis is giving me the creeps! That's so cunning!
But if he wanted to harm Gaia, why did he save him in the end? Apate was about to finish him off!
[Details on the 6th floor determine success or failure]:
Yes, according to the initial setting, if the man in black is the blue Ultraman, he represents the will of the ocean and the original power of the earth.
Why would he betray Gaia, who is also a part of Earth's will?
[Post #7 is a research fanatic]:
This is what I find most puzzling. But I have a bold guess! The slogan on the poster is "Human courage, Earth's will."
Think about it, the earth that my dream represents has always been protecting humankind.
But what about the ocean? Does the ocean's will necessarily stand on the same side as humanity?
Let's not forget that the pollution and damage we humans have caused to the oceans is extremely serious.
What if that Lano believed that humanity was also one of the scourges leading to Earth's destruction?
He saved Gaia, perhaps simply because Gaia was one of his own kind, but he certainly didn't do it on purpose to save humans!
[8th Floor XIG Die-hard Fan]:
Why are there so many weird things in this episode?
Is there already a strange mechanism in only the third season?
Is this the level of the dual-Arcane dungeon?
In the past, when we watched Ultraman Tiga and Dyna, most of the monsters were still flesh-and-blood creatures. But this time, Apate feels like the T-1000 Terminator! It's practically a creation of high-dimensional technology!
Could it be that these so-called "fundamental destruction entities" possess extremely advanced civilization and targeted tactics?
[9th floor w--w]:
Apatee was watching TV in space when she was tricked into coming to Earth by the man in black, bombed by Team Lightning, shot by Gaia, and finally had her long arm killed by Lan'o with a single shot.
This guy is a complete tool monster!
[May peace and safety be with you on the 10th floor]:
One is a sunny and cheerful genius college student who wants to protect everything; the other is a cold and aloof mysterious man who sees Ultraman as part of some kind of plan.
The collision of land and sea, could you please update it quickly!
You old bastard Gu, you better update by next week! This plot abruptly ending here is worse than killing me!
[11th Floor, Hesitation]:
I second that! I want to see a red vs. blue battle! I want to see Gaia and that blue guy fight each other!
Since they were both born on Earth, who is the boss? They have to fight to decide!
……
The discussions on Tieba were like a raging fire, with the identity of the blue Ultraman, the true nature of the Destruction Bringer, and the clash between the red and blue Earth wills becoming the focus of a frenzy among tokusatsu fans across the internet.
