AWB Chapter 423 marks the beginning of the ending, the arrival of the Chaotic Calamity!
Chapter 423 marks the beginning of the ending, the arrival of the Chaotic Calamity!
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
It's 8 PM on Friday, Xia time.
As the lights come on in every household, the pages of major video platforms refresh on time, showing episode 25 of "Ultraman Cosmos".
This is also the prelude to the originally planned finale, and it officially premiered simultaneously across the entire network!
Gu Nan combined episodes 59 and 60 into one, using it as the opening of Gauss's finale.
Countless viewers who had been waiting in front of their screens immediately clicked play, the progress bar started jumping, and the main feature lit up.
However, as the finale, the opening of this episode did not have the tense and oppressive feeling of the final battle that one would expect. Instead, it showed a long-lost tranquility and peace.
In the picture, the sun is shining brightly and a gentle breeze is blowing.
The members of the youth elite team, who rarely changed into casual clothes, were enjoying a leisurely time on the lawn outside the base.
The Earth has been free of ferocious monsters for a long time, and this peaceful and stable life has allowed everyone's tense nerves to relax for a moment.
"Whoosh—!"
A baseball flew through the air in a wildly off-center arc.
"It's been so long since I played ball."
Wearing a baseball glove, Musashi easily ran two steps and caught the ball, then burst into laughter and teased him!
"Look at your ball control skills, they're terrible!"
"Stop arguing!"
Kaze glared at Musashi and retorted:
"I deliberately let them win!"
"If I really put my karate skills into a serious pitch, I'll smash your glove off!"
"Here we go again, senior Fengchui is bragging again."
Musashi shook his head helplessly and threw the ball back.
"Let's talk after you've managed to throw the ball into my glove!"
The ending started so casually; it feels like a huge crisis is coming later.
[The calm before the storm, huh? The more serene and peaceful Gu Long portrays things, the more unsettling it will be later.]
I wonder if Master Gao will get a new leather case.
Just as the two were arguing, Rena came skipping over, carrying two large fast food bags.
"Time for lunch, you energetic big kids!"
Rena greeted everyone with a smile.
"Great, I'm actually starving!"
Musashi quickly ran over and accepted the lunchbox that Rena handed him without any hesitation.
"You should be polite!"
Rena smiled and gave a word of advice, then turned and handed another lunch to Fubuki.
"This belongs to the Wind Blows team."
Fengchui opened the lunchbox and glanced at it, then peeked at the box in Musashi's hand, and his face instantly fell.
"Wait! Why is it that only Musashi's portion has French fries?!"
The wind protested, seemingly dissatisfied.
"Oh, don't worry about such a small thing!"
Rena guiltily looked away and waved dismissively.
"Wait! That's not fair at all!"
Fengchui pointed relentlessly at the fries in Musashi's hand, looking just like a wronged three-year-old child.
The comment section was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.
【You're treating people differently, aren't you!】
[The Wind Blows: It's clearly a movie for three people, yet I never get a name.]
[The pairing of Musashi and Rena is now completely locked in!]
Meanwhile, in the recreation area on the other side of the base.
Captain Haruka was comfortably reclining on a deck chair, while Vice Captain Mizuha was giving him a shoulder massage.
"Ouch, this feels so good... harder, yes, yes..."
Captain Qingguang closed his eyes and sighed with a look of enjoyment.
"Captain, your shoulder muscles are very stiff. Is it because you're getting older?"
Vice Captain Mizuha pressed on the pressure point while jokingly teasing him.
"What are you trying to say?"
Captain Qingguang opened one eye, feigning dissatisfaction as he asked a question, then sighed with relief.
"Everyone really worked very hard."
"I've always taken care of those young team members. Having such outstanding players around me makes me feel like the happiest captain in the world."
"We feel very fortunate to be able to work with our team leader."
"Vice Captain Mizuha responded softly."
However, this heartwarming scene did not last long.
On the other end of the camera, a tense countdown is quietly unfolding.
The scene then cuts to the internal laboratory of the Xia State Scientific Analysis Center (SRC).
The team members and the director of the analysis center were intently staring at the petri dishes and complex data screens in front of them.
They are working day and night on a groundbreaking research project that could change the fate of humanity—the synthesis of Chaos Destruction Enzyme.
"How is the synthesis of the Chaos Destructive Enzyme progressing?"
Captain Qingguang's question came through the communicator.
"It's going smoothly, but it will still take some time."
Tu Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead and reported loudly to his supervisor.
"This Chaos chimera is probably the only special enzyme in the universe capable of destroying the Chaos virus."
"If successfully synthesized, it will become humanity's most powerful weapon against viral invasion!"
Researchers have shared some cutting-edge technology with you.
[It feels like the same technology as the Greenskins; I'm really struggling to figure it out.]
[The Chaos virus probably won't just sit idly by; it'll definitely try to cause trouble!]
Sure enough, just when everyone thought they could continue to enjoy peace, a sudden change occurred!
"Boom—!"
Without warning, the entire elite team base began to shake violently!
The water glass on the table was shaken off and fell to the ground, and the alarm blared instantly!
"Was it an earthquake?!"
The vibration lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually stopping.
"Rena! How's the damage from the earthquake?"
Captain Qingguang immediately asked.
"The base is intact, but..."
Rena stared at the constantly fluctuating red data on the screen, her face turning deathly pale.
"Just now, not only in Xia Kingdom, but all over the world, a powerful earthquake occurred at the same time!"
"What?! A global earthquake?!"
Everyone gasped in shock.
Before everyone could recover from the shock, even more terrifying news followed.
On the big screen, the dots representing the monsters' activity were increasing at an alarming rate, densely covering the entire world map!
"The number of glowing spots indicating monster activity has surged!"
"Could it be that the earthquake just now caused all the monsters that had been sleeping underground to awaken at once?!"
Vice-Captain Mizuha exclaimed in disbelief.
"This is Aurora 3 Space Station!"
An anxious report suddenly came through the communication channel.
"An extremely strong Chaos virus energy reaction has been observed in the cosmic coordinate system 87!"
"The Chaos virus is increasing rapidly!"
"Aurora 3! Please continue your report!"
Captain Qingguang roared.
"An exceptionally powerful energy wave is hurtling towards Earth at full speed!"
After everyone had exchanged the information,
Finally, the truth came to light.
It turns out that the global earthquake just now was a disaster caused by the terrifying energy waves of the Chaos virus affecting the Earth's core!
The Earth's core movements distorted the Earth's magnetic field, completely disrupting the monsters' biological clocks and causing a global monster uprising!
"Beep beep beep!"
The communicator rang again; it was an emergency call from the Seiya Islands Monster Protection Center.
"Captain! The monsters on the island are behaving very strangely!"
The administrator's anxious voice came through.
"Including Lydorias, they all seemed terrified, suddenly becoming extremely agitated and noisy—a panic that had never occurred before!"
The comment section instantly erupted, and the previous relaxed atmosphere vanished completely.
[Global monster rampage, will this episode feature a massive battle?]
【Chaos Virus!】
[I knew it! How could there possibly be real peace in that old scoundrel's show! The sense of oppression is just too much!]
"Ultraman Chaos has appeared in District 9!"
Rena locked onto a massive red energy source.
"We already defeated him, but he's come back to life!"
Musashi was even more shocked.
Captain Qingguang's eyes were sharp as he stared intently at the energy trajectory on the big screen.
"All personnel mobilized! Red alert status!"
"Stop Ultraman Chaos's destructive actions at all costs!"
At Captain Qingguang's command, the elite youth team mobilized in full force.
The Tek Boomer 2 and Tek Thunder 4 fighters roared out of the base.
They transformed into two bolts of lightning and headed straight for the Ding 9 region.
The wind howled in the sky.
Chaos Ultraman's enormous and evil body was strode heavily, recklessly approaching the Science Analysis Center.
With each step it took, the earth trembled violently, and countless buildings turned into ruins beneath its feet.
This time, the enemy was clearly serious, appearing with an overwhelming force and announcing the coming of destruction to humanity.
"I will absolutely not let you continue to act recklessly!"
Feng Chui, piloting his fighter jet, launched the first attack.
Several high-explosive missiles, trailing long plumes of flame, struck Chaos Ultraman precisely in the chest.
However, when the smoke cleared, Ultraman Chaos was completely unharmed, and he didn't even pause for half a second!
Ultraman Chaos's casual attacks are enough to keep them constantly on their toes.
"Now's the time! Use the laser beam cord to stop its activity!"
Captain Qingguang shouted.
"Laser cable, fire!"
Vice Captain Mizuha decisively pressed the button.
Several blinding blue beams shot out from the bottom of the fighter jet, quickly weaving together in mid-air to form a huge restraint that tightly bound Chaos Ultraman's arms.
"We succeeded!" Everyone was overjoyed.
However, they still underestimated Ultraman Chaos's power.
"roar--!"
Chaos Ultraman let out a deafening roar and suddenly exerted force with both arms.
With a loud "bang," the tough laser cable was torn apart!
Immediately afterwards, Ultraman Chaos raised his hand, and a dark red chaotic beam of light instantly pierced the sky!
"Oh no! Get out of the way!"
But it was all too late.
The beam of light struck the flank of the fighter jet piloted by Vice Captain Mizuha with lightning speed!
"boom--!"
A violent explosion erupted in mid-air, and the fighter jet instantly lost control, trailing thick smoke as it plummeted to the ground like a kite with a broken string!
Vice-Captain Mizuha lost consciousness completely during the violent impact and fell into a coma.
Meanwhile, the fighter jets blown by the wind were not spared either.
The fighter jet, still in flight and being blown by the wind, was actually grabbed by Ultraman Chaos!
Then Ultraman Chaos simply flung his plane away!
To cover Fengchui's retreat, Musashi's fighter jet was also shot down by a beam of light from a hand...
The aerial battle ended in a complete defeat for the youth elite team in just a few rounds!
The difference in strength was clearly revealed at this moment.
【No way?! The entire army was wiped out?!】
This Chaos Ultraman is so much stronger than before! He's completely unkillable!
This time, the whole team is really going to be wiped out!
The camera quickly cut back to the scientific analysis center.
As the explosions outside grew closer, the atmosphere in the laboratory became extremely tense.
"Warning Level 4! All staff members are requested to evacuate immediately!"
The cold, electronic system voice echoed in the corridor.
Tu Jing stared intently at the unfinished data on the screen, his hands flying across the keyboard, his back soaked with sweat.
"Leave the rest here to me and Tsuchikage; you all go and take refuge!"
The director shouted at the other researchers.
"We can't abandon you!"
"I can't believe it," a researcher said anxiously.
"If anything were to happen to either of us, you two would be the only ones left capable of synthesizing the Chaos Destruction Enzyme!"
"This is humanity's last hope!"
Tu Jing suddenly turned his head, his eyes filled with a resolute determination to die for his cause. "Go!"
At this moment, on the defensive line outside the research institute.
Despite losing the cover of fighter jets, Captain Haruko and Rena stood on the ground without flinching.
Holding a small defensive pistol, she tried to stop Ultraman Chaos, who was as huge as a mountain.
Seeing this, viewers in front of the screen were both moved and somewhat confused.
Why are the captain and Rena running on the ground? Where's the plane?
[This difference in firepower is just outrageous!]
Fighting monsters with a toy gun? Is this what a land-based tiger looks like?!
[It's a bit funny, but this unwavering determination to defend their teammates is a tribute to Manchester United, isn't it!]
"boom!"
Chaos Ultraman shattered the outer wall of the research institute with a single stomp and casually fired a beam of light.
"Danger! Get down!"
Captain Haruka tackled Rena to the ground.
A violent explosion erupted around them, sending debris flying everywhere.
Fengchui and Mizuha, the vice-captains who had just arrived at the scene, immediately rushed over.
Finally, the group gathered together.
The group used the surrounding mounds of earth as trenches to begin their operation to restrain Ultraman Chaos!
"That damned guy!"
With bloodshot eyes, Musashi charged fearlessly toward Ultraman Chaos.
His rifle successfully drew Chaos Ultraman's attention to the human form of this Ultraman.
On the other side, when Fengchui saw the fearless Musashi, he quickly stepped forward and tackled him to the ground, thus avoiding a burst of light bullets.
Meanwhile, Captain Seiko led the group to continue attacking Ultraman Chaos with laser guns!
"No matter what happens, hold on!"
"Because we are the elite youth team!"
This tragic scene deeply pained Musashi, who had just awakened from a coma.
Looking at his teammates fighting desperately in the distance, and at his companions who were covered in wounds from protecting the Earth, his anger and determination ignited instantly.
"My dearest comrades... I will protect you until the very last moment!"
Musashi ran forward.
Musashi drew the Sun and Moon Harmony from his waist without hesitation.
"Gauss—!"
With a battle roar that resounded through the sky, a dazzling blue beam of light shot up from the ground and soared into the heavens!
Amidst a flurry of light particles, Ultraman Cosmos suddenly descends!
Without any probing, Gauss directly switched forms amidst the light, facing his former nemesis.
Three cuts in one second!
A powerful eclipse, a striking blend of crimson and azure!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Eclipse Cosmos displayed overwhelming power, slamming one heavy punch after another into Chaos Ultraman's body.
The once arrogant and domineering enemy was defeated and forced to retreat without any chance to fight back.
Seizing the moment when the enemy was stunned, Gauss quickly gathered a massive amount of light energy in front of him with both hands.
"Kizumum Ray!"
An extremely bright beam of light pierced through Ultraman Chaos's chest in an instant.
With a deafening explosion, Ultraman Chaos was blasted into countless fragments!
"It's a success!"
The teammates on the ground erupted in cheers.
However, this joy did not last more than three seconds.
Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, a dark red chaotic beam of light, more than ten times larger than before, suddenly descended from the sky!
The Chaos virus, deep in the universe, has sent a new and purer calamity directly to Earth!
Amidst the horrified and desperate gazes of the crowd, the shattered Chaos remains rapidly reformed under the glow of the dark red beam of light.
A new form, clad in dark armor and radiating a suffocatingly terrifying aura, slowly emerged from the light.
Chaos Ultraman - Calamity Form!
Clemenceau!
born!
It not only perfectly imitates Gauss's eclipse pattern, but its power is also several times greater than that of a solar eclipse!
What's most despairing is that it has no time limit for activity and possesses almost unlimited chaotic energy!
"What...is that?!"
The sound of the wind trembled.
Having just survived a fierce battle, Gauss's color timer on his chest began to flash rapidly.
Faced with this unprecedentedly powerful ultimate enemy, Gauss even found it incredibly difficult to stand up.
An unprecedented life-or-death crisis, like thick, indelible ink, completely shrouded the sky that had just experienced a brief period of peace.
