Chapter 335 The Final Battle Begins! The Final Farewell!
Chapter 335 The Final Battle Begins! The Final Farewell!
Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.
The series of exciting moments and emotional outbursts in the later stages of the story left viewers thoroughly entertained.
But everyone knew that Death Kipbu was just a forward. The real battle was only just beginning.
Friday night at 8 PM.
Countless viewers eagerly awaited the release of episode 49 of "Ultraman Gaia" on time!
The moment the title of this episode appeared, it stirred something in the hearts of many viewers.
Angels Descend.
The scene cuts directly to the main feature.
The opening ceremony will provide all audiences with the most stunning audio-visual experience!
There was no sunshine, no morning breeze.
The entire sky above the Earth was completely obscured by a thick, writhing black shadow.
Those weren't dark clouds, but thousands upon thousands of densely packed Destruction Insects—Debisi!
The overwhelming swarms of insects, like a black tide, completely blocked the skies around the world.
Sunlight could not penetrate this thick barrier, and the whole world was plunged into a deathly silence and darkness.
On the streets, the once peaceful life was completely shattered.
"A monster is coming! Run!"
"They're coming this way! Run!"
The crowd screamed and ran in terror through the dimly lit streets. In the sky, countless small, shrill insects swooped down like raindrops, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
Reporter Tian Duan and photographer Lun Wen struggled through the chaotic crowd.
Another wave of demonic insects is attacking!
"Get down! Get down!"
Tian Duan shouted, shielding Lun Wen beneath him.
However, the impact of the swarm of demonic insects also blocked some of them from crashing into the concrete and dying instantly.
This also shows that the defense of ordinary demonic insects is not that strong.
The crowd gathered around to look at the hideous demonic insects that had been killed by the impact.
The scene then shifts to the dissection room at Geo base.
XIG obtained samples of the demonic insects for analysis immediately. Complex genetic maps flashed on the screen.
"According to the autopsy report, this creature has some similarities to previously identified Root Cause Extinction Species."
Inside the command center, the atmosphere was incredibly tense.
This is not just a regional attack; it is an act of extermination against all of humanity.
On the large screen, images of disasters around the world flashed by. Not only Japan, but North America, Europe, Asia... the whole world was suffering from the ravages of the demonic insects.
From Gu Nan's perspective, the impact of this scene is even greater than in the original series.
Armies around the world are fighting against the monstrous insects that blot out the sky.
It's reminiscent of the situation in "The Wandering Earth 2" where lunar debris lands on Earth in the later stages, and how humanity reacts.
The world's weapons were finally no longer pointed at their own people, but at the sky.
However, their sheer number was enough to block out the entire Earth, causing plants to wither from lack of sunlight, and communication signals to become intermittent due to the intense interference generated by the demonic insects.
The comments section went wild at that moment:
The oppressive feeling is like the end of the world.
[This isn't just a physical attack; this overwhelming darkness, plunging the entire Earth into night, is completely destroying humanity's psychological defenses.]
Even sunlight has been cut off; Earth's ecosystem won't be able to sustain this for long.
[At least the previous monsters came one by one, but this time they're going all out with a swarm of insects?]
[Can the Destruction Summoning Entity open so many wormholes?!]
Waaaaah! My trypophobia is acting up.
Inside the command center, even worse news followed.
"GUARD combat forces from various countries have begun their offensive."
However, conventional fighter jets and weapons proved utterly ineffective against an army of demonic insects whose numbers were simply incalculable.
The aerial combat scenes here are not the same as the image battles in the original Gaia series from 98.
Instead, it truly uses the most advanced motion capture and real-time rendering technology to give each Dessippi an independent motion trajectory!
Even a short aerial combat scene lasting only one or two minutes can create the ultimate audiovisual feast!
However, when faced with terrifying demonic insects of this size, physical impact alone is enough to break through any human defenses!
After only a few hours of fighting, urgent reports came from all sides!
The communication channel was filled with piercing static noise and desperate cries.
"The entire Australian GUARD force has been wiped out!"
"GUARD combat forces in various countries are also in a state of collapse!"
Hearing these horrific battle reports, Wei Weike slammed his fist on the table and stepped forward: "Commander! Please allow us to attack! We can't just stand by and watch this happen!"
The commander of the stone chamber had a somber expression, and his resolute face appeared particularly cold and stern in the dim light.
"Don't be impatient. Right now, our fighting strength is very limited. I and Fujimiya are searching for the source of the incident, so let's wait for the results."
"But, Commander..."
Just when everyone was at a loss about the current situation.
I dreamt that Fujimiya and I finally returned to the command room.
"The coordinates of the source have been determined!"
"It originated from this main wormhole and spread to all parts of the world."
The image shows the very spot where the demonic insect Desibi first appeared.
The commander in the stone chamber's eyes sharpened, and he immediately issued the order: "Attack the main wormhole! Launch the attack immediately!"
"yes!"
"Muzi, notify all GUARD branches in Asia to rendezvous with the Geo base!"
Just then, Fujimiya, who had been standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.
His eyes held a hint of confusion, even a hint of questioning.
"Commander Ishimuro, why don't you use the two of us as combat troops?" Fujimiya stared directly at Ishimuro. "You should include the power of me and my dream in the battle plan."
Faced with Fujimiya's questioning, Commander Ishimuro remained unyielding: "We can't do that."
Fujimiya frowned, a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "Are you afraid that if we rely on them, XIG's capabilities will be questioned by outsiders?"
In Fujimiya's view, this is a matter of life and death. Ultraman has the strongest power, so why not just send them?
I quickly grabbed Fujimiya: "Fujimiya, don't do this!"
But what Commander Ishimuro said next stunned Fujimiya instantly.
Shi Shi looked at him, his tone lacking the authority of a superior officer, but instead displaying the tolerance of an elder and the trust of a comrade-in-arms: "You two are not weapons, but partners fighting together."
Wow, what a vision!
The single word "partner" silenced Fujimiya completely.
[However, this is probably the first time Fujimiya has met the Commander and the others.]
[But it's understandable, considering the Earth is practically been eaten bare.]
Commander Ishimura truly treated them as human beings, not just as tools for saving the Earth.
Fujimiya gave Ishimuro a deep look, then turned and silently walked out of the command room without arguing further.
Subsequently, Wei Weike and Captain Daocheng led the Falcon Team and the Cool Dragon Team respectively, flying their fighter jets straight to the source of the wormhole where the demonic insects appeared.
In the sky, the enormous wormhole resembled a scar on the universe, continuously spewing out black demonic insects.
"Initiate the attack!"
The fighter jet formation launched a dense barrage of lasers and missiles, creating bursts of sparks amidst the swarm of insects.
But it didn't work.
Not only did it not work, it also angered the swarm.
More demonic insects surged forward like black tornadoes, instantly scattering the fighter jets' formation!
However, Wei Weike and Daocheng were not to be trifled with.
They directly used the aircraft's wake to break up the swarm's formation, exposing the center of the largest swarm in the air!
More swarms of insects are still stirring up from that place!
Seeing this rare opening, the fighter jet formation finally launched lasers in unison!
Boom boom boom!!!
The insect swarm at the very center was finally mostly wiped out, revealing the wormhole behind it with violent energy fluctuations!
Finally, people saw for the first time just how enormous the wormhole that transported these swarms of insects was!
"This wormhole is incredibly large!"
Just then, Wei Weike's fighter jet was rammed by even more swarms of insects!
"The left wing is damaged!"
Faced with overwhelming numbers and unpredictable attacks, even the ace pilot's skills were of no use.
Seeing this, Captain Daocheng had no choice but to turn his fighter jet around.
"Captain Weiwei, I will protect your machine! Return to Geo Base!"
Seeing the battle situation on the screen, which was making almost no progress and even escalating into a crisis, Di Cheng made a decisive decision: "Everyone retreat! Return to Geo Base immediately!"
For the first time, XIG's ace pilots felt a profound sense of powerlessness in the face of this endless darkness.
In the corridor.
I was walking alone when suddenly a hamburger was thrown into his arms.
I looked up.
Ahead, Fujimiya had been waiting for a long time.
The two exchanged a glance; their unspoken understanding was enough.
"Go and get rid of those locusts," Fujimiya said resolutely. "I'll find the right moment to rush into the wormhole."
He was prepared to sacrifice himself, even if it meant dying together, as long as the mastermind behind it could be found.
Fujimiya's voice was very soft, as if he were talking to himself, or as if he were telling a brother who had gone through life and death with him the most ordinary thing.
"I'll find the right moment and rush into the wormhole."
He paused, looked at me, and a very faint smile appeared on his lips, like a knowing relief.
"Ever since I regained Agul's power..."
"...I've been thinking about one question."
I didn't speak in my dream.
He simply listened, because he knew that Fujimiya was never a talkative person.
Every word at this moment carries immense weight.
"Why are there two of us?"
"I've always fought alone. I thought that was enough. I thought that the fate of humanity and the will of the earth only needed to be borne by one person. Why are we two?"
He looked down at his palm. The palm that had once clenched its fist and rejected all its companions.
"But, now I should say—"
His voice suddenly gained a touch of warmth.
"Fortunately, there are two of us."
"No matter which one you lose... there's always another one."
He didn't finish his sentence.
But within that unfinished period lies a weighty entrustment.
But when I looked into Fujimiya's eyes, I couldn't say a word.
All the words were stuck in his throat.
Because he understands.
This is not a farewell. This is the greatest trust that Fujimiya could give him.
Your life is my life.
As long as your light remains, there will be a tomorrow for this world.
Fujimiya turned around, facing the final battle.
Just as I took a deep breath, preparing to follow in Fujimiya's footsteps and step into that unknown darkness.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps echoed from the depths of the empty passage behind them.
"It was a dream!"
He suddenly stopped.
It's Li Muzi.
Her eyes were red, as if she had held back her tears for too long, and finally let them flow the moment she saw his back.
"Why...why didn't you say anything before leaving?"
Her voice trembled, filled with grievance and panic.
"Why did you have to keep it a secret from everyone... and sneak away?"
He stopped, turned around, and looked at the girl who had been chasing him all the way.
"sorry……"
He lowered his eyelids.
"...I'm not good at saying goodbye."
The moment the words fell, the emotions that had been building up in Li Muzi's eyes for so long finally spilled out silently.
she knows.
Of course she knew.
She knew where my dreams were headed. She knew what that overwhelming darkness was.
She knew that the outside world was being devoured by demonic insects at a visible rate.
She knew even more that even Ultraman, even that figure who had fallen from the sky and risen again countless times, might not be able to return in the face of this apocalypse.
That's why she rushed here without regard for anything else.
That's why she stands here, at this crossroads where it could be a final farewell, desperately grasping at the last bit of time.
"At least you..."
Her voice choked up...
"At least I should tell... everyone, I'm leaving... ah..."
She desperately tried to hold back her tears.
"Besides... besides telling you that you must keep going..."
"...and then there's nothing more that can be done."
The sentence was light, as light as dust blown away by the wind. Yet every word was as heavy as a mountain.
I dreamt of seeing her.
Look at her tears, look at her tightly clenched lips, look at her standing in the corridor where the end is nigh, knowing she can't keep him, yet still desperately trying to stuff the last bit of things into his bag.
He opened his mouth.
I want to say "I will come back", I want to say "Don't worry", I want to say "Thank you".
But these words were said too easily, so easily that they sounded like a deception.
So he didn't speak. He just nodded deeply and heavily.
"Muzi...I'm leaving..."
Then he turned around.
Her words of encouragement remained unanswered, hanging in the air.
I dreamt of stepping forward and standing shoulder to shoulder with Fujimiya, who was waiting there.
"This might be the last time, so savor it."
With the somber background music playing, a wave of sighs swept through the comment section:
This is so painful; this kind of farewell is truly heartbreaking.
[Sigh, Fujimiya on one side, and Kiko on the other, waaaaaah, this is killing me!]
Mu Zi actually knew everything, but she couldn't stop him; all she could do was let him fight desperately.
Director Gu's restrained use of dramatic scenes is truly masterful; there aren't even many crying scenes, yet it's still heartbreaking.
[Don't let your life be filled with death flags! I dream that you must come back alive to marry Mu Zi!]
I hope my dream will return safely!
