AWB Chapter 428 Chaos's Questioning
Chapter 428 Chaos's Questioning
The next morning.
The missile silos at the Formosa Base have been fully opened.
The Tek thrusters, equipped with Chaos Destruction Enzymes, pointed straight at the sky like swords about to be drawn from their sheaths.
Inside the command center, the red countdown numbers were relentlessly ticking.
"Three minutes before launch, the countdown begins!"
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
However, at this critical moment, a piercing alarm suddenly echoed wildly throughout the entire base!
"Why is there an alarm?!"
Vice Captain Mizuha questioned loudly.
The radar interface on the large screen was instantly covered by a blinding red light.
"An extremely strong Chaos virus reaction has been detected at coordinates P87, and it is hurtling towards Earth at an incredible speed!"
Just as this powerful energy approached Earth, the monster Eligar suddenly emerged from the ground, disturbed by it.
It appeared near a bustling residential area.
This provided the Chaos virus with an excellent opportunity to possess the body!
Almost in the blink of an eye, Eligar was enveloped by a dark red light that descended from the sky, and completely mutated into the berserk Chaos Eligar.
"Damn it! Of all times, at this time!"
Captain Qingguang gritted his teeth as he watched the city descend into panic on the screen.
In order to protect the innocent monsters and the city's residents, Captain Seiko decisively issued the following order:
"Wind, Musashi! You two, immediately take off in your fighter jets to protect Eligar!"
"But……"
"I don't need any guards here; the military aircraft of the defense force will protect us."
Seeing the two hesitant individuals, Captain Qingguang could only say...
"Protecting the monsters is our duty! Let's go!"
Originally intended as guards, the two had no choice but to move their fighter jets toward the area ravaged by Eligar.
Shortly after Musashi and Fubuki left, something even more despairing happened.
On the radar screen, an even larger and purer burst of chaotic energy erupted from the coordinates of P87!
This time, however, the trajectory of this energy was exceptionally clear; it directly shattered the frontline air defense network, like a precision-guided arrow.
It even managed to knock open the monster protection net of the Seiya Islands midway through its journey.
Immediately, it crashed down directly onto the headquarters of the Youth Elite Team—the Treasure Island Base!
"The defense force's fighter jet has been shot down!"
"Intense Chaos energy is hurtling towards the Taiwan base!"
With this desperate cry, a devastating tremor instantly swept across the entire base.
"Boom—!"
The lights in the base went out instantly, and all the screens went completely black.
After a piercing crackling of electricity, a deathly silence enveloped the command room.
"The power system is completely paralyzed! All communication terminals are cut off!"
In just a few seconds, this defensive fortress, equipped with the most advanced technology in the Xia Kingdom, was instantly transformed into an isolated island cut off from the world.
The launch process was forced to abort due to the loss of power system support.
Captain Qingguang's fighter jet, full of hope, was also trapped in the launch silo and unable to take off.
The plan to eradicate the Chaos virus was completely shelved due to this meticulously planned surprise attack!
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Our base has been raided!]
[They were just in space, and now they're on Earth?]
[The Chaos virus is also known as the Light Virus, so isn't traveling at the speed of light quite normal?]
[I was so scared I cried! I couldn't react at all!]
[So their claim that they cleared all the Chaos virus from Earth was just a delaying tactic; in reality, they can send as many Chaos as they want from space.]
First, lure your forces away with monsters, then paralyze your command center—it's like physically unplugging the internet cable!
[The plan died before it even started; Chaos is truly outrageous.]
Meanwhile, on the front lines of the battlefield.
Facing the raging Chaos Eligar, Kaze and Musashi found themselves in an unprecedentedly fierce battle.
Without the tactical support of the base, their firepower was negligible in the face of the mutated monsters.
Chaos Eligar let out a deafening roar, swung his scythe violently, creating a gust of wind, and lashed it hard at the fighter jet piloted by Fengchui.
"Warning! Aircraft damaged! Right wing out of balance!"
The fighter jet was engulfed in a bright red light. The wind blew so hard that it gripped the control stick tightly, but the jet still plummeted uncontrollably toward the ground.
It looked like it was about to be crushed by Eligar's giant foot!
At this critical moment of life and death, Musashi suddenly drew the Sun and Moon Harmony from his waist.
Although Gauss had already been seriously injured and was exhausted from previous battles with the enemy.
But seeing his comrades about to die tragically, Musashi had no choice.
"Gauss—!"
A dazzling blue light shot up from the ground, forcefully blasting the enormous creature away from beneath Eligar's feet!
Ultraman Cosmos makes his appearance once again, despite being injured!
However, the battle was not easy.
Not only did Chaos Eligar's strength increase dramatically, but it also opened two special glands on its back, spraying out large amounts of highly corrosive green poison gas.
The poison gas instantly enveloped Gauss, who let out a painful groan.
Just as the audience held their breath, Gauss quickly steadied himself, and amidst the flashes of light, smoothly switched to an eclipse mode that intertwined crimson and azure!
Eclipse Gauss swiftly drew a graceful arc with both hands in front of him, and a dazzling golden light barrier instantly unfolded. It not only perfectly blocked the poisonous gas spewed by Eligar, but also transformed the barrier into a strange beam of light that directly entered the monster's body.
This beam of light precisely altered Eligar's glandular cells, completely eliminating its body structure that sprayed poison gas!
Without giving the virus any chance to breathe, Gauss gathered powerful energy in his hands and unleashed a dazzling Krzymembrane Ray that pierced straight through the monster's body!
Under the cleansing light, the Chaos virus within Eligar was completely eliminated, and this innocent Earth monster finally regained its former peace and freedom.
The eclipse's form is so cool, and its purifying power is simply unreasonable!
[Performing surgery while fighting, removing the poison glands directly?]
[Finally won a game, but what about the base?]
How many times has Master Gao transformed in these episodes? It feels like he's always fighting!
The battle may be over, but a deeper fear has only just begun to descend.
Just as Gauss breathed a sigh of relief, an extremely piercing and eerie radio wave, seemingly composed of countless overlapping sounds, rang out.
It directly cut into the fighter jet communications that were being blown by the wind, while also echoing in the completely paralyzed command center of the Taiwan base!
That was the voice of the Chaos Virus! This group of energy, which originally had no physical form, was now directly questioning Gauss and humanity on the very core of their being!
"Ultraman Cosmos..."
The eerie voice was filled with endless anger and mockery: "You used the guise of saving humanity on Earth to secretly alter the body structure of this monster."
"What's the real difference between your condescending approach and our approach of changing monsters for our own purposes?!"
These soul-searching questions struck Musashi and all the viewers with a jolt.
[6 Oh, they didn't even look at who did it first.]
Chaos: Gauss did it too!
[Double standards, huh? If you hadn't caused so much trouble, they'd still be raising monsters on Seiya Island.]
The voice on the radio became increasingly violent, filled with overwhelming hatred.
"What did we do wrong this time? Tell me! What exactly did we do wrong?!"
"It's you! You've ruined our plans time and time again! I will never let you betray me again!"
"Ultraman Cosmos, you're despicable! I hate you! You've disrupted the order we've established!"
With this declaration of war filled with endless hatred, the Chaos virus completely tore away all pretense.
They were no longer satisfied with simple possession and destruction; instead, they regarded Gauss and Earth as mortal enemies that had to be completely annihilated.
At this moment, the conflict between the two sides escalated to an irreconcilable and desperate point.
The progress bar has also been pushed to the end of this episode.
That's it!
Why the hell did it stop abruptly again?!
【I wish you, old scoundrel Gu, would never do *that* again!】
[Could you please update twice a week?]
Is there really a fundamental difference between Gauss modifying the monster to save it and the Chaos Virus altering the monster for its own purposes?
[It's chilling to think about. While Gauss's removal of the poison glands was indeed for Erigar's own good, from a certain perspective, it was a form of "power" that placed itself above the monster!]
There is no such thing as eternal justice; so-called justice is merely a means to protect one's own interests.
[Their home has been raided, the command center is paralyzed, the captain has no chance to fight back, and Gauss is still dragging along with low health. This final battle is bound to be a fierce one!]
[Ahhh! Update soon!]
As this episode concluded in an atmosphere of despair and oppression, the entire online tokusatsu community and film and television discussion forums were in an uproar.
On various tokusatsu forums and film analysis discussion boards.
In-depth analyses of the plot of the penultimate episode, "The Earth's Lament," have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
There have been many comments and a new wave of discussion about this episode.
"The question Chaos posed at the end was unexpected. He completely overturned the 'absolute justice theory' in traditional tokusatsu and brought us a more realistic perspective..."
"In fact, Gauss was also authoritarian and domineering..."
"But I believe that ultimately it is fundamentally different from the Chaos Virus."
"According to the established lore, the ultimate goal of the Chaos Virus is to create a unified world free from chaos..."
"But within this so-called 'order,' there's simply no room for human survival, and even monsters might not escape it!"
"They claim to be the messengers of order, yet they completely misunderstand the principle of 'coexistence' among all things in the world!"
"The Chaos Virus uses the deprivation of freedom and the obliteration of will to achieve extreme peace."
"While Gauss's modification of Eligar also involved change, its motivation was 'salvation'!"
"It is so that life can continue on Earth as it is today."
"One is 'assimilation and obliteration,' the other is 'compassion and vitality.' This is the most fundamental difference between the two!"
"So the Chaos Virus is just sophistry!!"
"Furthermore, have you noticed an extremely hopeless setting?"
"As the plot unfolds, the Chaos Virus evolves at an ever-accelerating pace, and each reorganization is more terrifying than the last."
"This concept is actually similar to bacteria and viruses in real life..."
"Using antibiotics may reduce the number of pathogens in the short term, but in the long run, it will only allow drug-resistant bacteria to survive, ultimately breeding superbugs!"
"On the other hand, Gauss's energy was slowly depleted during his long battles on Earth!"
"Although humanity has defeated the Chaos Virus time and time again, it has always been met with an even stronger counterattack from its enemy!"
"Even with such injuries, Gauss constantly pushed his limits, but eventually, he failed!"
"When Gauss falls, won't Earth suffer a crushing defeat?"
"So Musashi's confusion wasn't just affectation; he genuinely realized that a mutually destructive, life-or-death struggle wasn't a long-term solution!"
"Moreover, on one hand, there is the determination of the captain and his teammates to annihilate the enemy even at the cost of their lives."
"On the other hand is his own unwavering belief in 'coexistence'."
Is force truly the solution to all problems?
"If not, then what is the ultimate secret?"
"How can we defeat this virus that keeps getting stronger and evolving?"
...
This single post alone garnered hundreds of comments.
Beyond the heated debate over the plot's logic, viewers across the internet were completely captivated by the episode's intensely oppressive atmosphere.
Gu Nan not only fully conveyed the character's sense of destiny in the dramatic scenes, but also reached the pinnacle of scene staging.
From the very beginning, everyone was filled with hope when the Chaos Destruction Enzyme Missile was successfully developed, and everyone cheered with joy.
From the captain's tragic decision to sacrifice himself, to the virus's extremely cunning way of paralyzing the base's command center.
This constant back-and-forth between hope and despair keeps the audience's emotions on the edge of their seats, creating a rollercoaster of emotions.
[Master Gao is so pitiful. He's already seriously injured and hasn't recovered, and now he's being mocked so closely by the villain. Musashi's mental state must be nearing its limit too.]
[What I really want to know is, the base is out of power, the explosives can't be fired, and the Gauss energy is almost depleted. How do we break this deadlock?]
[Could it really be as Old Tang predicted, that Gauss will exhaust his last rays of light for all humanity and turn into a stone statue at the bottom of the sea?!]
Don't jinx it! I believe in Musashi; he'll definitely be able to break free from this "life or death" mentality, think about the deeper meaning of coexistence, and find that one and only way out!
Yes! Gauss represents the miraculous light of "born of gentleness"! I believe there will definitely be a perfect ending!
