When Ultraman breaks away from the “budgetary constraints” of special effects films and descends into the real universe to face those enemies who think they are powerful – they will understand what true despair is!

In the Land of Light, Yangtai is just an ordinary member of the Space Guard. He has neither the talent of Zero nor the background of Taro. Even his special move is just the most basic **Spiceum Ray**.

However, when he accidentally traveled to another universe, he found out – I’m not targeting you, I mean everyone here is a Lese!

Original Gundam World

“I heard you new humans are very powerful. Come and try my Nimbus!”

Pacific Rim World:

“Mech Hunter? Monster? Sorry, this punch of mine packs 46,000 tons. You two should decide who will die first.”

EVA World:

“Apostle? AT force field? 500,000 degrees Celsius…

A half-assed kid from the Land of Light? Everywhere else, I’m called Cosmic Superman.
Chapter 1: The Giant Gundam of Light
At that time, Amuro Ray was just an ordinary boy.
He was born on Earth in the Universal Century 0063.
Because his father, a researcher in the Earth Federation Army, often changed his duty station, there are two theories about his birthplace: the San’in region of Japan and Prince Rupert of Canada.
Later, Amuro and his father moved to the space colony Side 7.
His father was the technical director of the development of the Gundam RX-78-2. In such a family environment, Amuro grew up in an environment with a strong scientific and technological atmosphere.
He developed a strong interest in machinery and showed great mechanical talent, becoming well-known locally as a young man who loved machinery.
However, his family relationships are complicated, and his father often neglects him because he is focused on work.
As a result, Amuro lacks fatherly love and becomes introverted and lonely.
After the outbreak of the One Year War, Side 7 became a strategic target and was invaded by the Zeon army.
In the chaos, Amuro accidentally enters the cockpit of the Gundam RX-78-2, which his father helped design, and is forced to pilot it to fight against the Zeon army.
With his own talents and the potential of a New Type, Amuro gradually grows in battle.
He became an excellent Gundam pilot, made many achievements in the war, and was therefore recruited by the Earth Federation Army.
From then on, he embarked on the road of battle.
The White Trojan Horse sailed through the universe, and the atmosphere in the bridge was as tense and busy as ever.
Brad Noah stood in the command seat, scanning the radar screen to confirm that there were no enemies on the route.
“Keep heading, keep moving forward,” he ordered.
“Understood, Captain,” Mile Yashiro responded, his fingers moving quickly on the control panel.
Amuro was sitting in the cockpit of the Gundam, conducting a routine inspection.
Although the war has made him grow from an ordinary boy into a warrior, he still feels a little lonely when he is alone.
He stared at the display screen, his thoughts drifting away.
“Amuro, what are you daydreaming about?” Frau Bo’s voice came from the communicator.
“Nothing, just thinking about something.” Amuro came back to his senses and shook his head.
“Don’t be distracted, it will be troublesome if you encounter an enemy.” Frau said half-jokingly.
At this moment, the radar on the bridge suddenly sounded an alarm.
“Captain! An unidentified object was spotted ahead!” Sai Agyir reported quickly.
Brad frowned. “Zoom in.”
The image on the big screen gradually became clearer, and everyone was stunned – it was a man floating in the universe, not wearing any protective clothing, but safe and sound with his eyes closed, as if he was just asleep.
“This…how is it possible?” Mile widened his eyes.
“It’s impossible for humans to survive in the universe without protection, let alone survive unscathed like this…” Sai muttered to himself.
Brad made a quick decision: “Amuro, immediately drive the Gundam to confirm the situation.”
“Understood.” Amuro immediately started the Gundam, the thrusters sprayed out blue flames, and the body quickly approached the target.
As the Gundam approaches the mysterious man, Amuro watches closely through the monitors.
The man looked to be in his twenties, with black hair, a calm face, and a chest that rose and fell slightly, as if he was really just sleeping.
What was even more shocking was that his skin showed no signs of frostbite, as if the vacuum and low temperature of the universe had no effect on him.
“What the hell is going on…” Amuro muttered to himself.
He carefully maneuvered the Gundam, gently grasping the man’s body with his robotic arms, making sure not to cause him any harm.
He then returns to the White Horse with the mysterious man.
Inside the hangar, everyone had already gathered.
The hatch of the Gundam opened, and Amuro jumped down holding the man.
“He’s still alive!” exclaimed Frau.
“Hurry, send him to the infirmary!” Brad ordered.
Medical staff quickly took over and put the man on a stretcher and pushed him away.
Amuro stood there, still a little dazed.
“Amuro, are you okay?” Frau asked with concern.
“Hmm… I just find it incredible.” Amuro shook his head. “Drifting in space without any protection, and still being alive… It completely defies common sense.”
“Maybe he’s a new human?” Saiyi guessed.
“Even a new human can’t do such a thing.” Amuro frowned.
Brad pondered for a moment and said, “No matter what, when he wakes up, we must find out his origins.”
Everyone nodded, but their hearts were filled with doubts and uneasiness.
Who is this mysterious man? Why is he able to survive in the universe? And what impact will his appearance have on the White Trojan Horse?

The infirmary’s light softly shone into the room. A man, dressed in the casual clothes provided by the White Trojans, sat calmly beside the bed. Amuro stood across from him, his brow furrowed slightly, clearly puzzled by the origins of this mysterious figure.
“Who are you?” Amuro asked bluntly.
“I’m an ordinary soldier from the M78 Nebula. Our goal is to protect peace in the universe.” The man replied, his tone as natural as if he was stating a very ordinary matter.
Amuro was stunned for a moment, then a hint of confusion crossed his face. M78 Nebula? Protecting space peace? Was this man insane? Or had his memory been clouded by his long wanderings in space? He had never heard of any warriors from the M78 Nebula, let alone humans capable of surviving unprotected in space.
“Can you explain it in more detail?” Amuro asked tentatively.
The man lowered his head slightly, as if recalling something. “I was on a mission with my brothers, but I don’t know what happened during the mission. When I woke up, I found myself in space.”
Amuro’s brow furrowed even more. “How did you manage to do this without any protection in outer space?”
“For us warriors from the Kingdom of Light, staying in space is a very common thing.” The man answered as a matter of course.
This statement shook Amuro’s worldview. The Land of Light? Was staying in space a normal thing? This was completely beyond his comprehension. Not only Amuro, but Frau, Sai, and Gai, who were standing at the infirmary door, also showed expressions of shock.
“This man… drifting in the universe without any protection, yet he managed to survive and remain unharmed?” Sai murmured in disbelief.
Amuro took a deep breath, trying to clear his mind. “Could it be that you are… a new type?”
However, the man showed a puzzled expression: “New humans? What is that?”
Now it was Amuro’s turn to be stunned. This man didn’t know about the Newtypes? But if he wasn’t a Newtype, how did he survive in space?
The man seemed to notice Amuro’s confusion and asked, “What time is it?”
Amuro came back to his senses and answered truthfully, “Universal Century 0079.”
The man nodded and said nothing more, as if this time had no special meaning to him.
Amuro was silent for a moment, and finally said, “You should have a good rest first.” Then he turned and left the infirmary, gently closing the door.
In the corridor, Frau, Saiyi and Kai immediately surrounded them.
“Amuro, what’s going on with him?” Frau asked impatiently.
“He said he was a warrior from the M78 Nebula, able to survive unprotected in space.” Amuro shook his head, “But I’ve never heard of the M78 Nebula.”
“Could it be some new type of experimental subject of the Zeon army?” Sai speculated.
“Unlikely.” Kai crossed his arms, frowning. “No matter how crazy the Zeon military is, they can’t create humans who can survive naked in space. It completely defies common biological knowledge.”
“Besides, he seems to know nothing about the Newtypes,” Amuro added. “If he’s a Zeon experiment, he should at least know the concept of the Newtypes.”
“Then his origins will truly become a mystery…” Frau sighed.
Brad’s voice came from behind: “What are you discussing?”
Everyone turned around and saw the captain walking towards them. Amuro briefly reported the situation.
After listening to this, Brad pondered for a moment: “In any case, his existence is beyond our understanding. We must remain vigilant until we find out his true identity.”
“What if he really is a warrior of some unknown force?” Sai asked.
“Then we need to be even more careful,” Brad said seriously. “The White Trojan Horse is currently carrying out an important mission and cannot take risks because of someone of unknown origin.”
Amuro nodded, but deep down, he felt a tinge of curiosity about the man. His references to the “Land of Light” and the “M78 Nebula,” along with his matter-of-fact manner, didn’t sound like nonsense. Could there really be a cosmic civilization they were completely unaware of?
“Amuro, what do you think?” Frau noticed his silence and asked softly.
“I don’t know…” Amuro shook his head, “But he doesn’t look like an enemy.”
“Perhaps, but we can’t let our guard down.” Brad patted Amuro on the shoulder. “Let’s observe for a while. If he’s truly harmless, then we’ll consider the next step.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. However, the appearance of this mysterious man had already sown a seed of unease in the hearts of the White Trojans. What impact would his presence have? And did the “Kingdom of Light” he mentioned actually exist?
No one knows the answer, but one thing is certain: the universe seems to be much more vast than they imagined.
Chapter 3: You call this an ordinary person? [Please collect and give flowers] (Old version)
The atmosphere in the White Trojan’s conference room was solemn. Brad sat at the head of the table, his fingers tapping lightly on the table as his gaze swept over each member present—Amuro, Frau, Sai, Gai, and the officers in charge of security. The focus of the discussion was the mysterious man temporarily placed in the isolation pod.
“What are the results of his blood test?” Brad asked in a deep voice.
Mile, who was in charge of medical treatment, pulled up the data panel, his brow furrowed. “His cell activity is far beyond that of an average person, and his blood contains an unknown energy reaction, but…his physiological structure is still human.”
“How is that possible?” Saiyi couldn’t help but interrupt. “How could a human survive in space without protection? Not to mention he doesn’t even look frostbitten!”
Amuro pondered for a moment, then said, “Perhaps… he’s some kind of evolutionary offshoot of a new human? More advanced than what we know.”
“New Human?” Frau looked at Amuro in confusion, “But he doesn’t seem to react to the word at all.”
“Indeed.” Amuro nodded. “When I mentioned the Newtypes, his expression was as if he was hearing an unfamiliar word.”
Brad crossed his arms, his eyes sharp. “In any case, his existence is beyond our comprehension. His actions must be restricted until his true identity and intentions are confirmed.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
—
Meanwhile, inside the isolation cabin, the male protagonist sat quietly by the bed. His eyes swept across every corner of the room, as if trying to adapt to this unfamiliar environment. The guard outside the door stared at him warily through the observation window, but he just smiled slightly, as if he didn’t care about such surveillance.
Suddenly, his eyes stopped at the metal bracket on the bulkhead. Out of curiosity, he reached out and gently pried it apart.
“Crack!”
The metal brackets buckled and deformed like slime.
The guard outside the door widened his eyes and immediately pressed the communicator: “Bridge! That man just bent an alloy bracket with his bare hands!”
The news spread quickly throughout the ship. When Amuro and Blade arrived, the hero was looking at the metal he had bent with an innocent look on his face, as if wondering why it was so fragile.
“How… did you do that?” Amuro couldn’t help but ask.
The male protagonist looked at his hands, then looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd, and said calmly: “Is this difficult?”
Everyone was silent.
At this moment, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded!
“Enemy attack! The Zeon army’s MS team is approaching!” A hurried report came from the communicator.
Brad immediately ordered: “Everyone, prepare for battle! Amuro, attack immediately!”
Amuro nodded, turned and rushed to the hangar. The male protagonist suddenly stood up: “Do you need help?”
“No!” Brad refused flatly, “Your identity is unclear, so you can’t participate in the battle!”
The protagonist did not argue, but nodded. But when Amuro boarded the Gundam and the body roared out of the catapult deck, the protagonist saw the huge steel giant through the porthole – the RX-78-2 Gundam.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and an unprecedented shock appeared on his face.
“Is that… a mecha?” He murmured in a low voice, as if he saw something that subverted his cognition.
In his homeland, battles were clashes between giants, collisions of light and heat. Yet, in this universe before him, the humans actually entrusted war to machines made of steel?
Gundam and Zaku clash in space, beam rifles and heat axes colliding with each other, creating dazzling sparks. The protagonist stares at the battlefield intently, a complex emotion swirling in his heart.
“War in this world… is this what it’s like?”
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
Chapter 4: The Awakening of the Giants (Old Version)
The sound of an alarm pierced the tranquility of the White Trojan’s bridge.
“30 degrees to port, it’s the Zeon MS force!” Sai’s voice trembled slightly due to nervousness.
Captain Blade immediately straightened up. “Everyone, first combat deployment! Amuro, attack immediately!”
Amuro quickly ran to the cockpit of the Gundam, his fingers dancing on the keyboard.
“RX-78-02, Amuro Ray, attack!” The Gundam’s thrusters spewed out dazzling blue flames and rushed out of the hangar in an instant.
In space, three jet-black mobile suits were approaching in perfect tactical formation.
“It’s the Black Three-Stars!” Amuro’s pupils shrank slightly. He had read about this unit’s terrifying record in battle reports.
“Kid, is this the Federation’s new toy?” a scornful voice echoed over the comms channel. Three Arch-Demons simultaneously fired their diffusion beam cannons. Amuro barely dodged them, but the shockwave still left him dizzy.
Inside the bridge, Mile anxiously reported: “The Gundam has been suppressed! There are three more Zakus approaching from behind!”
Brad clenched his fists: “Prepare for bombardment! Cover the Gundam’s retreat!”
Yangtai’s eyes widened.
Through the porthole, he could clearly see the critical situation. “I have to go help.” He stood up, but was stopped by the guard at the door: “Please stay in the room. It’s dangerous outside.”
“But your companions need help.” Yang Tai said firmly. While the guard hesitated, Yang Tai had already nimbly bypassed him and ran towards the hangar.
“Stop!” Brad noticed something unusual through the surveillance. “What is that person going to do?”
Frau stared at the screen in surprise: “He said he was going to help… but he doesn’t have a mobile suit!”
Yota stood at the hangar door, gazing at the battlefield outside. Amuro’s Gundam had been cornered, its armor covered in scars. “Open the hatch,” he said calmly to Blade, who had arrived.
“Are you crazy? It’s a vacuum outside!” Brad roared.
Yang Tai turned his head, a strange light flashing in his eyes. “Trust me.” For some reason, Brad felt an inexplicable sense of trust. He nodded as if for no apparent reason. “Open…open the hatch.”
The hatch slowly opened, and the vacuum of space instantly sucked out all the air inside. Under everyone’s astonished gaze, Yang Tai leaped into the boundless space.
“He committed suicide?” Sai murmured in disbelief.
But the next moment, a dazzling light burst forth across the universe. Within this light, a 50-meter-tall silver giant stood majestically, the energy core in its chest radiating an azure glow.
“What…what is that?!” Mile’s voice almost broke.
The Black Tri-Stars pilots also noticed something unusual. “Is that… a human?” one of them looked at the suddenly appearing giant in astonishment.
Yōta—now Ultraman—rushed swiftly into the battlefield. He grabbed hold of the Daimo that was about to attack the Gundam and, with a single squeeze, destroyed its weapon systems. “Please stop fighting.” His voice, through some unknown means, reached directly into the minds of every pilot.
“You’re kidding!” Another demon raised its bazooka and fired frantically. Ultraman simply raised his hand, and a transparent barrier blocked all the attacks. Then, with a flash of his hand, he disarmed all the mobile suits at a speed barely tangible to the naked eye.
Amuro watched it all in a daze. On the Gundam’s monitor, the silver giant was finishing the battle with unimaginable strength and speed, but always carefully avoiding harming any pilots.
In less than a minute, all six mobile suits were incapacitated. Ultraman, suspended in space, turned and looked at the Gundam. Amuro felt an inexplicable warmth, as if he were possessed by some noble spirit.
As Ultraman flew back to the white wooden horse, the bridge fell silent. A flash of light appeared, and Youta, in his human form, floated in through the open hatch.
“Repressurization complete.” A mechanical notification sounded, breaking the silence. Yang Tai landed steadily on the floor, his face slightly tired but calm.
“What…are you?” Brad finally found his voice.
Youta smiled slightly. “Like I said, I’m a warrior of the M78 Nebula.” He looked out the window at the retreating Zeon mobile suits. “They’re all fine, they just can’t fight for the time being.”
Amuro’s voice suddenly came from the communicator: “That giant…is that you?” His tone was a mixture of shock, confusion and a hint of inexplicable excitement.
“Yes.” Yang Tai nodded, “But can you let me rest for a while? This is my first time transforming in this universe, and the consumption is greater than I imagined.”
Frau was the first to come to her senses: “Of course! I’ll take you back to your room.” She carefully supported Yangta, as if she was treating a fragile treasure.
Brad watched them leave, then turned to the monitor screen to see the returning Gundam, muttering to himself, “This is getting complicated.”
In the hangar, Amuro found his hands trembling slightly as he climbed out of the cockpit. Not from fear, but from some inexplicable excitement. He looked up at the starry sky, the image of the silver giant replaying in his mind. “A warrior from the Land of Light?”
Chapter 5: Trust and Suspicion (Old Version)
A strange silence filled the White Horse conference room. Brad crossed his hands and rested them on his chin, his sharp eyes never leaving Yangta who was sitting across from him.
Amuro leaned against the wall, stealing glances at the mysterious giant from time to time, while Frau and Sai sat on both sides of Youta with complicated expressions.
“So,” Brad finally broke the silence, “you claim to be from the M78 Nebula and a warrior who maintains peace in the universe?” There was obvious doubt in his tone.
Yang Tai nodded: “The Kingdom of Light is a civilization that evolved from the energy of the Plasma Spark Tower. Our mission is-“
“That’s enough.” Brad raised his hand to interrupt. “Let’s leave these science fiction stories to the children. What I’m more concerned about is why you are helping us?”
Amuro suddenly interrupted, “He did save us, Captain. If it weren’t for him, we might be—”
“That’s exactly what’s so suspicious!” Brad slammed his hand on the table. “A mysterious being capable of transforming into a giant in the universe appears at our most critical moment? What a coincidence, isn’t it?”
Frau couldn’t help but retort, “But he really didn’t hurt anyone, he just disarmed the enemy.”
Sai pushed his glasses up. “From a tactical point of view, if he really is a Zeon weapon, he can destroy the White Trojan Horse directly.”
Yota calmly observed the arguing crowd: “I understand your concerns. The first principle of the Kingdom of Light is not to interfere with the internal development of civilizations unless there is a threat that endangers the entire universe.”
“How noble,” Brad sneered, “Then why did you intervene in our fight?”
“Because lives are disappearing.” Yota’s voice suddenly became heavy. “I see young warriors dying in a meaningless war. Although I can’t intervene directly, I can at least… reduce casualties.”
Amuro’s eyes lit up. “So you just want the fighting to stop?”
“To some extent, yes.”
The conference room fell silent again. Brad paced back and forth, finally stopping in front of Yang Tai. “Listen, until your true identity is confirmed, you must accept surveillance. This is not a request, it’s an order.”
Yang Tai accepted it calmly: “I understand and respect your decision.”
Meanwhile, aboard a distant Zeon cruiser, Char Aznable stared at a blurry image on his screen. It was a shot captured by a reconnaissance plane at the risk of its life: a silver giant easily subduing the Black Tri-Stars in space.
“How… interesting.” Char’s single eye flashed dangerously. He switched on the encrypted communication channel. “This is Char, requesting a direct connection to Lady Kycilia. I’ve discovered something… unusual about the White Trojan Horse.”
A cold female voice came from the other end of the communicator: “Get to the point, Major Char.”
“The Federation may have developed a new type of biological weapon. A… giant that can transform.”
After a brief silence, Kycilia’s voice became serious: “Evidence?”
“All members of the Black Tri-Stars witnessed it and are currently retreating. According to descriptions, this creature can dismantle mobile suits with its bare hands and can survive in the vacuum of space.”
“Continue monitoring, but don’t act rashly. I’ll send a scientific team to your side.” The communication stopped abruptly.
Char closed the communication and gazed thoughtfully at the starry sky. “A mysterious giant…” he muttered to himself. “This game is getting more and more interesting.”
Back at the White Trojan Horse, Amuro quietly came to Yota’s temporary residence. Two armed guards stood at the door. After seeing Amuro, they hesitated for a moment, but finally let him in.
Youta was sitting on the edge of the bed and smiled when he saw Amuro come in: “I knew you would come.”
Amuro stood awkwardly at the door. “Um… can I ask you a few questions?”
“About the transformation?”
“No, it’s about… your hometown.” Amuro bravely stepped closer. “What does the M78 Nebula look like? Is there a war there, too?”
Yangtai’s eyes softened. “The Kingdom of Light is a place full of light. We once experienced civil war, but after gaining the power of the Plasma Spark Tower…”
Their conversation continued late into the night. Amuro’s eyes grew brighter as he listened to the descriptions of the Land of Light. These stories contained no senseless slaughter, only the noble ideal of fighting to protect.
“So all of you warriors volunteered to become Ultramen?”
Yang Tai nodded. “We believe that with great power comes great responsibility. But…” His expression suddenly darkened. “I’m just an ordinary warrior, far from the level of those legendary predecessors.”
Amuro was about to say something when the alarm suddenly blared. “Enemy attack! Everyone, get in position!” Brad’s urgent voice came over the radio.
The two exchanged glances and rushed down the corridor. Amuro shouted as he ran, “Show me your true abilities this time!”
Yangtai turned back with a determined expression: “Remember, I only fight to protect life.”
On the bridge, Brad stared at the dense red dots on the radar, his face livid. “It’s Char’s troops! How did they find us?”
Mile nervously reported, “They sent a communication requesting to see… that giant.”
Brad exchanged a glance with Amuro and Yota, who had hurried over. Yota took a deep breath and said, “Let me handle this.”
“No!” Brad stopped him sternly, “This is obviously a trap!”
Yota responded calmly, “But if you don’t respond, the entire ship will be in danger. I promise, no one will get hurt.”
Amuro suddenly stepped forward and said, “I’ll go with him. The Gundam can provide cover.”
Brad looked at the two men’s determined eyes and finally nodded heavily: “…Be careful.”

-280mm Zaku rocket launcher: 4 rounds in 1 ammunition bay, stored on the rear waist armor.
-Heat Axe: Stored on the side skirt armor, can be used for close combat.
Actual combat performance
During the Battle of Loum, Char single-handedly sank a Magellan-class space battleship and four Salamis-class space cruisers with this aircraft, earning it the nickname “Red Comet” among both Zeon and the Federation forces. In battles against the Federation, Char, with his superb piloting skills and the aircraft’s exceptional performance, repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Federation.
Inside the White Trojan hangar, Amuro was performing emergency maintenance on the Gundam. Mechanics busily replaced damaged armor plating, sending sparks flying through the dimly lit cabin. Yōta stood nearby, gazing up at the 18-meter-tall steel giant.
“Are we really going to do this?” Amuro leaned out of the cockpit, his voice filled with worry. “It’s too dangerous to be directly exposed to space.”
Yota smiled slightly. “Believe me, this is nothing to me.” He jumped onto the Gundam’s shoulders with an agility that was not human. “Are you ready?”
Amuro took a deep breath and closed the hatch: “Gundam, Amuro Ray, attack!”
The thrusters blasted out dazzling blue flames, and the Gundam rushed out of the hatch. In space, Yang Tai stood firmly on the Gundam’s shoulder, his black hair motionless in the vacuum, but there was no sign of lack of oxygen or frostbite.
In the distance, a bright red Zaku hovered silently. When Char saw this scene through the monitor, his single eye suddenly widened: “This is impossible!”
Yang Tai’s clear voice came from the communication channel: “Char Aznable.”
“The sound is echoing directly in the cockpit?” Char checked the communication system in shock. “No signal is coming in… What the hell is going on…”
The Gundam stopped at a safe distance. Yota stood on the Gundam’s shoulder, calmly gazing at the Red Zaku. “Was that the giant you transformed into just now?” Char forced himself to calm down.
“Yes, it’s me.” Yangtai’s answer went directly into Char’s ears, as if the two were talking face to face.
Char’s right hand unconsciously tightened around the joystick. “Who the hell are you?”
“I’m an ordinary security guard of the M78 Nebula. Our purpose is to protect the peace of the universe.”
“M78…Nebula?” Char frowned. These words were completely beyond his comprehension. He decided not to dwell on these inexplicable statements. “You just destroyed our army’s mechas. Now either surrender this freak, or you will be buried with me!”
Amuro’s voice suddenly interrupted the communication: “We will never betray our friends!”
“You’re courting death!” Char roared, and the red Zaku suddenly accelerated and rushed towards him, so fast that it left a trail of afterimage on the monitor.
Yang Tai’s eyes flashed, then instantly transformed into a dazzling light. When the light faded, a 50-meter-tall silver giant stood majestically in the universe, the energy core in its chest radiating a blue glow.
“This…!” Char’s pupils constricted, and the Red Zaku’s thrusters revved to full blast, urgently changing course. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger, and the 120mm machine gun spewed flames, raining bullets down upon the giant like a torrential rain.
However, all the bullets were deflected the moment they touched Ultraman’s silver skin, leaving not even a scratch. Cold sweat broke out on Char’s forehead: “The armor is ineffective?!”
Ultraman—Yōta’s transformed form—gently raised his hand, and a transparent barrier blocked the incoming rockets. The flames of the explosion bloomed outside the barrier, illuminating the giant’s serene face.
“See if you can keep up with me?” Char gritted his teeth and activated the special mode that released the limiter. The Red Zaku instantly accelerated to an astonishing speed, carving a complex trajectory through the universe.
But Yangtai just bent his knees slightly, and the next moment, his figure completely disappeared from Char’s monitor.
“What?!” Char frantically glanced around, suddenly feeling a violent jolt—Ultraman had appeared behind him, giving him a gentle push. The Red Zaku flew uncontrollably into deep space, unable to stop even with its thrusters at full power.
When Char finally managed to stabilize the machine, the white wooden horse had already disappeared from view. Suddenly, Yota’s voice came from the communicator: “Our goal is to protect the peace of the universe. Humans must not fight each other any more.”
Char angrily smashed the console: “Damn it! Where does this guy come from?!” He stared at the empty universe, his one eye flashing with unprecedented vigilance and… a hint of imperceptible excitement.
Back at the White Trojan, Youta regained his human form and floated in through the open hatch. Amuro followed closely behind, his Gundam’s armor still showing signs of battle.
The bridge fell into complete silence. Everyone had witnessed everything through the monitors. Captain Blade was the first to recover. “Change course immediately! Disengage from this area at full speed!”
Amuro walked up to Youta and lowered his voice: “You just… could have completely destroyed him.”
Yang Tai shook his head. “Warriors from the Land of Light don’t take lives easily. Besides…” He looked out the window at the starry sky. “The pilot of that red machine… seems a little different from the others.”
On a distant Zeon cruiser, Char reported to the communication screen: “…I recommend the immediate organization of a special research team. The appearance of this giant could completely change the course of the war.”
He walked to the viewing window, looked at the boundless starry sky, and whispered to himself: “Warriors of the M78 Nebula…this war.” For the first time, curiosity beyond calculation appeared in the eyes of the red comet.
Chapter 7: Earth Descends to Fight [Please Collect and Add Flowers] (Old Version)
Inside the White Trojan’s bridge, alarms blared continuously. Brad stared at the data on the main screen, his brow furrowed.
“Atmospheric entry procedure activated, all MS secured!” Mile reported loudly.
“Everyone, prepare for impact!” Brad ordered, then turned to the communicator, “Amuro, is the Gundam secured?”
“It’s locked, ready to break in at any time.” Amuro’s voice came from the communicator, his tone more steady than before.
Yang Tai stood in the corner of the bridge, watching the blue planet Earth gradually enlarge outside the porthole. He felt the hull begin to vibrate slightly, and the white wooden horse’s shell rubbed against the atmosphere, gradually emitting a fiery red light.
“Yōta,” Amuro walked over to him, “Are you really going down with us?”
Yota nodded, “In space I can move freely, but once I enter the atmosphere my energy will be restricted.”
“limit?”
“The transformation only takes three minutes,” Youta said calmly, “Besides, fighting on Earth will use up more energy.”
Amuro pondered. “So, you can’t fight freely like you can in space?”
“Yes.” Yang Tai looked at him, “So, I might need more help from you this time.”
Amuro raised his lips slightly: “Don’t worry, I won’t let you carry it alone.”
At this moment, the alarm suddenly became sharp.
“Enemy attack! Zeon’s pursuit force!” Sai shouted.
Brad immediately ordered: “Everyone, fight! Amuro, prepare to attack!”
Amuro quickly ran towards the hangar, with Youta following closely behind.
—The Battle Begins—
The hull of the White Trojan Horse was still scorching in the heat, but the Zeon mobile suits were closing in. Three Doppler fighters roared in, strafing with machine guns in an attempt to disrupt the White Trojan Horse’s landing trajectory.
“Amuro Ray, Gundam, attack!”
The Gundam’s thrusters blasted out a fiery jet of air, and the machine burst out of the white wooden horse, heading towards the enemy plane. A beam rifle fired accurately, and a Dopp exploded instantly.
However, more enemies appeared – two high-mobility Zakus swooped down from the clouds, and their rockets hit the engine of the white Trojan directly!
“Oh no!” Amuro gritted his teeth, and the Gundam rushed back to help, but the distance was too far—
At the critical moment, a silver light burst out from the side of the white wooden horse!
“Drink—!”
Yota’s figure rapidly expanded in the light, transforming into a 50-meter-tall giant of light, its silver and red body gleaming in the sunlight. He crossed his arms, and a transparent barrier unfolded. The rockets exploded outside the barrier, failing to harm the white wooden horse.
“Ultraman…” Amuro muttered.
Without wasting a second, Yangtai extended his arms and charged directly at the enemy aircraft. His speed in the atmosphere wasn’t as fast as in space, but it still far exceeded the maneuverability of mobile suits.
“Bang!”
With one punch, the cockpit of a Zaku was accurately hit, and the machine lost its balance and fell into the clouds. Yangtai did not kill the pilot, but only incapacitated him.
The other Zaku’s pilot panicked and fired frantically, but the bullets had no effect on Ultraman. Yota raised his hand, and a thin beam of Spacium ray shot out, accurately destroying the Zaku’s weapon system.
“Three minutes are almost up…” The colorful timer on Yangtai’s chest began to flash red.
He looked back at the white wooden horse and the Gundam, and after confirming that the threat was lifted, he jumped up and turned into a ray of light and returned to the battleship.
—Weakness after landing—
The white wooden horse successfully landed in the wilderness, but this was Zeon’s sphere of influence. Yangta regained his human form, but as soon as he landed, he staggered and almost fell.
“Yota!” Frau was the first to rush over and support him, “Are you okay?”
“It’s just… the energy consumption is too great.” Yang Tai struggled to stand, his face slightly pale. “Fighting on Earth is more tiring than I imagined.”
Amuro jumped down from the Gundam and walked over quickly: “You just saved us.”
Yang Tai smiled slightly: “We are comrades, aren’t we?”
Amuro was stunned for a moment, then he smiled: “Yeah.”
Brad walked over, his expression still serious. “Yota, your abilities are limited within the atmosphere. This is a risk to us.”
“I understand.” Yang Tai nodded, “I will use my power carefully.”
Frau couldn’t help but interject, “But he just saved the entire ship!”
Brad glanced at her and didn’t refute. He just said, “Everyone, rest for an hour before setting off. The federal support force will arrive soon.”
——New Bond——
In the makeshift camp, Frau handed Yangta a cup of hot drink: “Here, replenish your energy.”
“Thank you.” Yang Tai took it and sipped it gently.
Saiyi sat next to him and asked curiously, “What do you warriors from the Kingdom of Light usually eat?”
Yota was amused. “Similar to humans, except our energy mainly comes from light.”
Amuro came over and sat next to him. “Next time we fight, I’ll try not to let you take action. Your transformation time is too precious.”
Yang Tai shook his head: “When it’s time to take action, I won’t hesitate. It’s just…” He paused, “If one day, I have to leave, can you continue to fight?”
Everyone was stunned.
“Are you leaving?” Frau asked.
“I don’t belong to this world.” Yang Tai looked into the distance, “But before I leave, I will do my best to help you end this war.”
Amuro was silent for a moment, then said firmly, “Until then, we will fight together to the end.”
Yang Tai looked at him and nodded.
Brad stood in the distance, looking at the group of young people, his brows slightly relaxed, but the vigilance in his eyes remained.
Chapter 8: Earth Breakout [Please add to favorites and send flowers] (Old version)
The white wooden horse landed heavily on the barren plain, its engines billowing black smoke. Inside the bridge, Blade examined the map with a solemn expression—they were forced to land in the central part of North America controlled by the Zeon military, hundreds of kilometers away from the Federation’s territory.
“The situation is not good.” Brad whispered, “We are trapped in enemy territory.”
Amuro stood aside, his fists clenched slightly. “We must break out as soon as possible, otherwise Zeon’s reinforcements will soon surround us.”
Yang Tai came from the lounge, his complexion had returned to normal: “My energy is almost replenished, and I can assist in the battle.”
Brad glanced at him with a complicated expression: “On Earth, your transformation time is limited. You can’t act rashly.”
Yota nodded, “I understand, but at least this will buy you some time.”
At this moment, the radar suddenly issued a shrill alarm.
“Enemy attack! The Zeon army’s MS units are approaching!” Mile reported loudly.
Brad immediately ordered: “Everyone, prepare for battle! Amuro, attack!”
On the battlefield
Garma Zabi sat in his Commander-type High Mobility Zaguri with a confident smile on his face.
“A mere white wooden horse dares to land on my territory?” He sneered. “All troops, listen to my orders. Capture them alive! I will personally deliver these bastards of the Federation to Prince Dejin!”
Several Zakus and tanks approached the white wooden horse from all directions, with artillery fire roaring and dust flying.
Amuro rushed out in his Gundam, firing his beam rifle accurately, instantly destroying two Zakus. However, the enemy was too numerous, and soon a mobile suit circled around to the side, aiming at the vulnerable engine part of the white wooden horse.
“boom!”
A silver light suddenly burst out, and Yangtai transformed into Ultraman. His huge body blocked the white wooden horse, and his arms crossed, easily deflecting all the artillery fire!
“W-what is that?!” Karma widened his eyes and stared at the giant in disbelief.
Ultraman didn’t hesitate, dashing towards the enemy line in an instant, his movements so swift that they sent a whirlwind through the ground. He punched a Zaku with just the right amount of force—the mobile suit was sent flying, but the pilot was only knocked unconscious, not killed.
“Damn it! What kind of monster is this?!” The Zeon soldiers panicked and opened fire, but the bullets and rockets had no effect on Ultraman.
Amuro seized the opportunity, revved up the Gundam’s thrusters, and went straight for Karma’s commander machine!
“Don’t underestimate me!” Karma roared, and the High Mobility Zaku dodged nimbly, and the thermal axe slashed at the Gundam.
The two machines engaged in a fierce exchange, but Karma soon discovered that his movements had been completely predicted—each of Amuro’s blocks and counterattacks were incredibly precise, as if he could see right through his intentions.
“This guy… is he really a newbie?!” Cold sweat broke out on Karma’s forehead.
At this moment, Ultraman suddenly appeared behind him, grabbed Zaku’s torso with his huge hand and lifted it into the air.
“Stop! Let me go!” Karma struggled in the cockpit, but the aircraft did not move at all.
Yota’s voice came straight into his mind: “This war is meaningless, stop it.”
Karma was stunned, but soon gritted his teeth and said, “Stop talking nonsense! The glory of Zeon cannot be tarnished!”
Ultraman shook his head and threw Karma’s Zaku lightly. It fell to the ground in the distance. Although it was damaged, the person was still alive.
Seeing this, the Zeon army’s morale collapsed and they retreated.
Postwar
The white wooden horse was temporarily out of danger. Yang Tai regained his human form, his chest rising and falling slightly – the cost of fighting on Earth was indeed much greater than in space.
Frau ran over and handed him a bottle of water: “Are you okay?”
Youta smiled, “I’m fine, just a little tired.”
Amuro jumped down from the Gundam and walked over to him. “Thanks to you, we were able to fight them off so quickly.”
Yang Tai shook his head: “Your skills have improved, I just restrained the enemy.”
Brad walked over, his expression still serious: “Don’t let your guard down. Zeon won’t give up so easily.”
Sure enough, on the distant hill, a bright red Zaku stood quietly.
Char Aznable watched all this through the monitor, a complex light flickering in his one eye.
“Can Ultraman… exert such power on Earth?” he murmured to himself. “It seems that more special weapons are needed to deal with you.”
Chapter 9: The Meaning of Battle (Old Version)
Amuro huddled alone on the rocks at the edge of the camp, the moonlight illuminating his pale face.
The pair of hands covered in oil and gunpowder were shaking slightly uncontrollably – these hands had just torn apart three Zakus on the battlefield, and the blood splattered in the cockpit even remained on his cuffs.
Memories came flooding back.
When he first sat in the Gundam cockpit, he was frightened to vomit by the glaring red light of the dashboard.
But now, he has long been accustomed to accurately locking onto the target during the shock wave, watching the enemy plane in the sight turn into a fireball, and numbly pressing the launch button.
The nightmares that once kept him awake at night, and whether there were faces as young as his among the destroyed MS, all became blurred in the day-to-day fighting.
At this moment, he was like a gear being devoured by a war machine. He clearly hated killing, but he couldn’t stop turning.
“Are you daydreaming again?”
The warm voice startled Amuro so much that he turned around suddenly and found that Youta had sat next to him without him noticing.
The moonlight outlined the silver silhouette of the stranger, and the colorful timer on his chest was faintly visible in the dark, like a beating heart.
“…Just a little tired.” Amuro hurriedly looked away, his voice so hoarse that even he himself was unfamiliar with it.
He clenched his fists, trying to hide the trembling of his knuckles, but Yangta keenly caught the movement.
Yang Tai did not expose her, but silently handed her a cup of steaming liquid.
The warmth of the wooden cup wall passed through his palm, and Amuro noticed that his fingers were terribly cold.
“This is a hot drink made from emergency rations,” Yangtai’s voice was as warm as the campfire. “We often rely on this to dispel fatigue when carrying out interstellar missions in the Kingdom of Light.”
The bitter liquid slid down his throat, but it couldn’t dispel the gloom in Amuro’s heart.
He stared at the brown residue at the bottom of the cup and suddenly said, “Yōta, you can easily destroy those Zeon mobile suits, why do you deliberately avoid their vital points every time?”
His voice was thick with suppressed anger. “Do you realize this will put us in more danger?”
Yang Tai looked up at the starry sky, and the Milky Way flowed into a brilliant river in his eyes.
“In the M78 Nebula, there exists a being known as a ‘cosmic monster,'” he said, his tone calm and almost icy. “They lack reason and emotion, and can only crush planets with their tentacles and vaporize civilizations with their radiation.”
“I once watched with my own eyes as Recubus devoured an entire ocean planet. The sound of the boiling seawater…still echoes in my ears.”
Amuro’s breathing hitched.
He imagined the horror beyond human cognition, and suddenly realized that the war he had experienced was probably just a child’s fight compared to it.
“But your war is different.”
Yang Tai turned to look at him, his eyes flashing with complex light, “There’s no monster in the cockpit, but a living person.”
“They would write letters to their families before the battle and cheer after the victory, just like…” His voice suddenly choked, “just like my fallen comrades.”
“But…” Amuro’s voice was as weak as a candle in the wind. “If we don’t kill them, we will die. This is war. It’s either you or me.”
“Then why do you fight?” Yang Tai’s question was like a heavy hammer.
From far away in the camp, Frau’s laughter could be heard. Sai was clumsily repairing the communicator, and the sounds of Brad’s discussion with the officers could be heard faintly.
Amuro opened his mouth, but realized he had never really thought about the answer.
Was it for the flag of the Federation? To protect his fellow White Trojans? Or was it simply because fate had thrust him onto the battlefield?
“I… I don’t know.” He finally admitted, tears lingering in his voice. “Every time I fight, I feel like a machine. I don’t want to kill, but I can’t stop…”
“War does make monsters of people.”
Yōta placed his palm on Amuro’s trembling shoulder. Though the force was light, it acted like an anchor to steady his shaky sanity. “But you are different from those blinded by hatred, Amuro.”
“You will grieve over the enemy’s death and cry alone in the middle of the night – this shows that your heart has not yet been devoured by war.”
Sparks suddenly flew from the bonfire, illuminating Amuro’s red eyes.
He recalled the desperate look in the eyes of the Zeon recruit who was accidentally injured by him when he first piloted the Gundam.
Thinking back to the countless sleepless nights and the blood and fire he saw in his nightmares.
It turns out that he has been avoiding the most fundamental question all along: What is the meaning of fighting?
“Space monster…” He muttered repeatedly, as if chewing on this unfamiliar word, “If such pure evil really exists, then what is the point of our current fight?”
Yota looked into the distance, where the roar of Zeon patrol planes could be heard faintly: “In the vast universe, life is as small as dust. But because of this, every life is worth cherishing.”
His voice suddenly became firm, “Amuro, you can choose to be a protector, not an executioner.”
“These hands,” he gently held Amuro’s shaking hands, “can pull the trigger, and they can also hold up hope.”
The night wind swept through the camp, taking away the long silence.
Amuro felt the weight in his chest begin to dissolve, something buried deep within the war breaking free.
He held Yangtai’s hand tightly, and at this moment, he finally saw the direction clearly in the fog – perhaps the battle was never for destruction, but to protect the beautiful things that have not yet been swallowed by the war.
Chapter 10: The Clash of Ideas (Old Version)
Amuro stared at his cracked palms, where metal fragments from the battle still remained between his nails.
“Yōta, you said that warriors from your kingdom of light never kill…but what if you encounter an enemy that must be destroyed?”
His voice was filled with fatigue that was hard to conceal; these hands had just injured three Zakus on the battlefield.
Yangtai was wiping the flashing energy indicator on his chest, and blue light flowed on his silver armor.
“We only kill cosmic monsters. They have no rationality and only seek to devour civilization. Last time in the M37 Nebula, I saw with my own eyes that Recubus crushed an entire ocean planet with its tentacles.”
“But Zeon’s soldiers are also destroying cities and slaughtering civilians.” Amuro frowned and retorted. Just then, the sound of explosions from the distant battlefield came from outside the window, making the metal plates of the lounge buzz.
In the bridge monitoring room, Brad slammed the combat record on the console.
“Your non-killing fighting style is a hidden danger on the battlefield. That Zaku could have completely dealt with it yesterday!”
“Every life has the right to choose.” Yang Tai calmly called up the tactical replay, and in the picture he accurately destroyed the enemy MS’s weapon system.
“I destroy weapons, not lives.”
“But they will attack us again once they repair their weapons!” Mile couldn’t help but interrupt, as a new enemy alert was flashing on the communication screen.
In the hangar maintenance area, Kai asked while inspecting the armor with a wrench in his mouth.
“Is there no war in your M78 Nebula?”
Yangtai adjusted the light energy converter, and light blue energy flowed between the devices.
“It happened before. Belia’s betrayal plunged the entire Land of Light into darkness. It is precisely because of that disaster that we cherish the light even more.”
“This kind of idealism won’t last more than three minutes on the battlefield.” Sai pushed his glasses and continued to record the Gundam’s damage data.
In a temporary camp in the wild, Frau handed over hot soup, and the steam blurred Yangtai’s angular face.
“You Ultramen…will you never get angry?”
“I will be angry, but I must be more restrained.” Yangtai took the bowl, and the metal armor glowed warmly in the firelight.
“If we are not careful with our power, we will…”
“Destroy the planet, huh?” Amuro suddenly looked up, the campfire dancing in his eyes.
“What a luxurious worry.”
A crackling sound of electricity suddenly rang out from the battlefield communication channel, and Char’s red Zaku appeared from the smoke, with a dangerous red light flashing from the muzzle.
“A warrior who doesn’t kill? What a naive alien visitor.”
Yangtai transformed into Ultraman form, the timer on his chest began to flash rapidly, and he blocked the particle cannon with his bare hands.
“Your heart is blinded by hatred, Char.”
“Hatred is the driving force behind human progress!” Char grinned, the cockpit filled with the red light of combat data.
Late at night in the infirmary, Amuro woke up from a nightmare, cold sweat soaking through his bandages.
“Yōta! Have you ever seen…a truly peaceful world?”
Yangtai stared at the blue earth outside the porthole, the moonlight shining on his silver armor.
“Yes. The children there don’t know what war is. They chase each other in the sun and laugh under the Milky Way.”
Amuro clenched the bedsheets, his knuckles turning white.
“…I really want to go and see it.”
At breakfast time, Mile distributed synthetic protein lunch boxes.
“What do you people from the Kingdom of Light eat? Do you drink plasma sparks?”
Yang Tai took the lunch box with a smile, took a bite and suddenly frowned.
“I can eat normal food…but your synthetic protein…”
“It tastes terrible, right?” Everyone’s complaints echoed in the restaurant.
In front of the hangar maintenance table, Amuro was wiping the Gundam’s camera, and the reflection showed Yota debugging the equipment.
“If… I mean, if there are space monsters on Earth…”
“I will fight to the last moment.” Yang Tai’s tone was unquestionable, and the energy indicator light suddenly lit up.
“And it’s not ‘I’, it’s ‘we’.”
Brad pushed the battle plan data pad towards Yangtai, and the ceiling light in the captain’s room cast shadows on their faces.
“Tell me the truth, how long do you plan to stay here?”
“Until I see humanity regain its own light.” Yangtai’s gaze penetrated the porthole and looked at the war-torn land.
Under the starry sky of the observation tower, Frau suddenly asked.
“Mr. Youta, can you Ultramen… cry?”
Yangtai raised his hand and summoned tiny particles of light, outlining the children’s smiling faces in the night sky.
“When you see the children losing their homes… yes.” The light particles gradually dissipated, turning into starlight and merging into the Milky Way.
Chapter 11: Broken Bonds (Old Version)
Prior to this, Amuro went to the refugee camp to look for his mother accompanied by Yota.
The joy of a brief reunion was soon shattered by the cruel reality – when the Zeon army searched, Amuro had to shoot and wound the enemy in order to protect himself and his mother.
This action made his mother completely disappointed in him, and the two eventually parted ways unhappily.
Amuro returned to the White Trojan Horse dejectedly, heartbroken.
Late at night, Amuro was alone, leaning against the railing of the White Wooden Horse Observation Deck, mechanically wiping his beam rifle.
The metal surface shone coldly in the moonlight, and his eyes were empty and tired.
Yang Tai walked over silently and handed over a cup of steaming coffee: “The temperature is just right.”
Amuro took the cup, but let the rising steam dissipate in the cold night.
“She said I became cruel.” He suddenly spoke, his fingers unconsciously stroking the bullet holes on the gun, his voice hoarse as if it had been sandpapered.
Yang Tai stared at the distant starry sky, his silver armor gleaming faintly in the night: “A mother always feels the most sorry for her child’s hand holding a gun.”
“But if I hadn’t shot, we would be the ones left as corpses.” Amuro sneered and suddenly turned to Youta, his eyes burning with suppressed anger. “What would you Ultramen do? Stand there and wait to die?”
“I will break their gun barrels and overturn their chariots – but I will not let any life disappear in my hands.” Yangtai’s tone was as calm as water, but his eyes were filled with scorching heat.
Amuro suddenly flew into a rage and slammed the coffee cup against the wall.
Porcelain shards flew everywhere, and brown liquid slowly flowed down the metal wall. “You’re pretending to be a saint! You don’t understand! When those guys were slaughtering civilians in Side 7 and burning villages in North America—”
Yang Tai suddenly pressed down on his violently shaking shoulders, his voice low and heavy, “I’ve seen battlefields far more brutal than this. The sight of children on a certain planet searching for their parents’ remains in the ruins…will be forever burned here.”
Amuro’s breathing suddenly stopped, and the flames of anger seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water, leaving only unspeakable pain surging in his chest.
“But because I’ve seen hell, I know better—every bullet fired will eventually hit my own heart.”
Yangtai’s voice seemed to come from far away, mixed with the curfew sirens in the distance, echoing in the night.
“Mom will never understand. This damn era…” Amuro’s voice suddenly became tired, as if all his strength was drained away in an instant.
Youta suddenly pointed to the night sky: “Look, Amuro.”
A meteor streaked across the dark sky, leaving behind a fleeting streak of light. “In the M78 Nebula, we believe that every ray of light that passes away will become a star. Those you accidentally hurt, those you protected… will eventually become the coordinates that guide the way forward.”
After a long silence, Amuro said softly, “…I probably won’t be a Warrior of Light like you.”
“But you are becoming what Amuro Ray should be.” Yangtai smiled gently, and his silver armor glowed softly under the starlight.
At this moment, Brad’s voice suddenly exploded from the ship’s broadcast: “All personnel, first-level combat configuration! Zeon airborne troops are approaching!”
The two men stood up almost at the same time, the red light of the alarm light flashing alternately on their faces.
Amuro quickly put on his helmet, his tone filled with relief and determination: “Let’s go, Ultraman.”
There was a faint blue glow on Youta’s fingertips, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle: “And I will guard against any missiles that want to sneak attack the Gundam.”
They looked at each other and then rushed towards their respective battlefields.
The meteors in the night sky had long since died out, but in Amuro’s eyes, a new flame was quietly igniting.
Chapter 12: Relief [Please add to favorites and send flowers] (Old version)
The smoke of battle had not yet completely dissipated, and the Gundam stood in the hangar.
Its armor bore traces of battle, evidence of the fierce battle that had just ended.
Amuro jumped out of the cockpit tiredly.
His body swayed slightly when he landed, and he rubbed his shoulders subconsciously. The high-intensity fighting in recent days had taken a toll on his body.
Yang Tai leaned against the maintenance stand next to him, playing with a glowing energy crystal in his hand. The crystal rotated flexibly at his fingertips, reflecting a strange light.
“Your fighting style just now has been restrained a lot.” Yangtai said, breaking the silence in the hangar.
Amuro paused for a moment, without looking up, but continued to unbuckle his seat belt.
“…Is there?” There was a hint of fatigue and confusion in his voice.
“Yes.” Yang Tai chuckled, his tone very firm.
“When the third Zaku attacked, your lightsaber’s trajectory deviated 15 degrees from normal.”
As he spoke, he gestured the angles precisely.
“The blow that could have penetrated the cockpit only severed the right arm drive shaft.”
Amuro finally raised his head, his face covered in oil and sweat, mixed with the fatigue and dust from the battle.
“You’re such a careful observer, alien.” He said half-jokingly, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn’t expect Yangtai to notice such a subtle difference.
“The basic qualities of a warrior from the Kingdom of Light.” Yang Tai shrugged and put the energy crystal away, as if it was just an ordinary matter.
The mechanics from the maintenance team were busy not far away, and the sound of hydraulic wrenches came one after another, filling the brief silence between the two.
Amuro pulled off his gloves and headed towards the rest area.
Youta followed suit, and the automatic door slowly closed behind them.
“By the way…how strong are the space monsters over there?” Amuro slumped in his chair and picked up a cup of coffee. The rising steam dispelled some of the chill.
Yang Tai’s eyes glowed slightly, and the light was like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
“The smallest one is two hundred meters high.” His voice was steady, but with a shock that could not be ignored.
“Two, two hundred meters?!” Amuro almost spit out the coffee he had just drunk. His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
“Isn’t that worse than a colony satellite—”
Yangtai didn’t say anything, just nodded slightly, and then projected a holographic image.
“This is Bemonstein, capable of devouring an entire space fleet.”
In the picture, a huge monster is showing its fangs and claws. Wherever it goes, the space fleet is easily swallowed up like ants.
“This is Jetton. A one-trillion-degree fireball can vaporize continental plates.”
The scene switched, and the terrifying light emitted by Jetton instantly turned an entire continent into nothingness.
Amuro stared at the behemoth in the projection that easily destroyed the city, his fingers unconsciously stroking the Gundam keychain. It was his certificate of driving the Gundam and also his support in this war.
“If the Gundam runs into these guys…” He muttered, a hint of worry in his voice.
“An ordinary beam rifle is like stabbing a dinosaur with a toothpick.” Yangtai’s voice sounded again, breaking Amuro’s meditation. His words were straightforward and cruel, but they also made Amuro realize more clearly the power of those space monsters.
There was a moment of silence, and then the roar of the engine test run came from the distance, and the sound seemed to remind them that the war had never really ended.
“But if we use the positron cannon in conjunction with it—” Amuro suddenly became excited, with a gleam in his eyes. He could always find hope in desperate situations and find a way to fight back.
Yang Tai shook his head and sighed helplessly.
“Once upon a time, a civilization launched an antimatter bomb… (projection shows a scene of a planet exploding) and the monster split into twelve.”
Looking at the planet that exploded instantly in the projection, Amuro’s expression gradually changed from shock to the fanaticism typical of a tech geek.
“Wait! If it’s a weapon that can fold time and space—” Amuro’s mind was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, constantly jumping, looking for a possibility of defeating the monster.
“Why do you humans always think about more powerful weapons…” Yang Tai held his forehead with his hand, looking helpless. He didn’t understand why humans always pinned their hopes on the power of weapons and ignored other possibilities.
“Then how do you Ultramen deal with them?” Amuro asked unconvinced. He was eager to know how Ultramen fought, perhaps he could find inspiration from it.
Yangtai raised his glowing hand, and the light seemed to contain endless power.
“First, analyze the weaknesses. (Projection shows scanning beams) Then, strike the core with just the right amount of energy. (Screen shows Spacium beams piercing the monster) Finally… (Suddenly winks playfully) Remember to avoid precious artifacts.”
His tone was light and humorous, which eased the originally tense atmosphere.
Amuro couldn’t help but burst into laughter, the sound echoing off the metal walls and dispelling the gloom in his heart.
At this moment, the alarm suddenly sounded, but soon turned to the all-clear signal, as if it was just a small episode.
“Seriously…how do the kids there even sleep?” Amuro asked half-jokingly, wiping away tears of laughter.
Yangtai looked out the window at the Earth, a beautiful yet fragile blue planet.
“It is because they know that Ultraman is protecting them that they can look at the starry sky with peace of mind.” His voice was gentle and firm, full of a sense of mission.
Amuro’s smile gradually turned into some complicated emotions. He thought of the children on Earth who suffered in the war, and his heart ached.
“We on Earth…can’t even let our children sleep peacefully.” There was a hint of self-blame and helplessness in his voice.
Then he suddenly grabbed Yangtai’s arm and said, “Hey! Teach me that light technique!” There was a glint of desire in his eyes, a desire for power and a desire for protection.
“Huh?” Yangta was stunned. He obviously didn’t expect Amuro to make such a request.
“Since it can’t become bigger, then at least I can compress the energy into the beam saber, right?” Amuro’s eyes lit up, and he began to think of new ways of fighting in his mind.
Yang Tai smiled helplessly, “You humans…” He was about to refuse, but when he saw the determination and persistence in Amuro’s eyes, his heart moved.
“But… (lowers his voice) there are indeed techniques that are suitable for human forms…” He moved closer to Amuro, and the two of them gestured head to head, as if they were planning a shocking secret.
Outside the window, a shooting star streaked across the night sky, disappearing in a flash, as if it was the universe’s blessing to them.
In the shadow of the hangar, Frau quietly put down the midnight snack she was going to deliver and walked out with a smile. She didn’t want to disturb the two people who were working hard to protect her.
Chapter 13: Ordinary Warriors (Old Version)
Inside the white wooden Magna library late at night.
Amuro sat cross-legged on the maintenance platform, the data tablet in his hand showing a complex energy curve graph.
Yangtai was suspended in mid-air, with a ray of light condensed on his fingertips, and was carefully adjusting the Gundam’s energy converter.
The surrounding robotic arms moved slowly, making a slight humming sound, adding a busy atmosphere to the silent space.
“By the way, Youta.” Amuro suddenly raised his head and looked away from the data tablet.
Light particles drew graceful arcs in the air, and Youta landed gently on the ground, standing in front of Amuro.
“Um?”
Amuro lowered the datapad, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.
“You’re so strong… you’re at least a general in the Kingdom of Light, right?”
His eyes were as bright as stars and his tone was full of anticipation.
“Are you…the leader of the Kingdom of Light?”
The light particles in the air suddenly became disordered for a moment, as if echoing Yang Tai’s inner fluctuations.
Yang Tai turned around and his voice unconsciously became a little softer.
“No… I’m just an ordinary soldier.”
Amuro’s smile froze on his face as he blurted out in disbelief.
“…What?”
“In the Space Guard, my grades have always been at the bottom.”
A miniature star map condensed at Yangtai’s fingertips. The scene of the Kingdom of Light emerged in the star map, and countless silver and red giants soared in the sky.
“Even his special move is only the most basic Spacium Ray.”
Amuro stood up suddenly and shouted excitedly.
“You’re kidding! Being able to dismantle a mobile suit with bare hands is considered normal in your place?!”
Yang Tai smiled bitterly and focused the star map on a giant with two horns on his head.
“See that guy? Instructor Taro. He can emit ten different beams simultaneously.”
The screen then switched to a red and blue Ultraman.
“This is Zero. He fought against Belia’s army alone just after he came of age.”
Amuro’s mouth opened slightly, his voice dry.
“…you call this ‘normal’?”
Yangtai put away the star map and patted the Gundam’s armor.
“Just like you have ace pilots and regular pilots here, I’m probably like… a newcomer in the maintenance squad.”
The sudden sound of a hydraulic pipe bursting broke the silence and interrupted the conversation.
As the two walked towards the rest area, Amuro took two steps at a time to catch up with Youta.
“Wait! If you’re considered rookies, how strong are you elite fighters?”
“For example, Captain Zoffy…” Yangtai fell into thought, and then his expression became serious.
“Each star on his chest represents a civilization he saved.”
Amuro stumbled and asked in shock.
“What about you? How many do you have?”
Yang Tai scratched his head in embarrassment.
“Still…working hard to get the first one.”
The vending machine made a “click” sound, and two cans of coffee rolled out.
Amuro grabbed a can and gulped it, then wiped his mouth and asked.
“So, in the Land of Light, you’re actually a laggard?”
“To be more precise, it’s ‘a subject requiring special guidance’.”
The can of coffee in Yangtai’s hand glowed slightly, and he suddenly smiled.
“I blew through the training ground seventeen times.”
Amuro suddenly burst into laughter, spilling coffee onto his uniform.
“Hahaha! So that’s why your trick of ‘precisely destroying mobile suits without hurting the pilot’…”
“It was a required course that I re-examined thirty-eight times before passing.”
Yang Tai shook his head helplessly, and the laughter of the two echoed in the corridor, attracting the curious eyes of the patrolling soldiers.
Starlight streamed through the glass of the observation tower.
Amuro looked up at the sky and sighed.
“Suddenly I feel…the universe is so huge.”
Yang Tai stood beside him, his eyes determined.
“That’s why we need more guardians.”
After a moment of silence, Amuro suddenly turned around, his eyes shining in the darkness.
“Teach me.”
“What?” Yang Tai was stunned.
“Since you’ve blown up the training ground, you must know how to control the energy rampage.”
Amuro grabbed Youta’s shoulders, his tone urgent.
“The Gundam’s nuclear furnace has been always…”
“Wait! The technology of the Kingdom of Light and you–” Yang Tai was about to explain.
Suddenly, the alarm sounded and the red warning light began to spin wildly.
Brad’s broadcast voice followed.
“Everyone’s first battle configuration! New Zeon mobile suit discovered!”
The two looked at each other and rushed towards the hangar at the same time.
Amuro shouted as he ran.
“Let’s continue the conversation next time! Regarding your bombing of the training ground—”
“Just survive this battle first, ‘ordinary’ ace pilot.” Yangtai responded with a helpless smile.
Amuro’s laughter was drowned out by the roar of the engine.
The stars remain, and the definition of “ordinary” is being reshaped in the boy’s heart.
Chapter 14: Topics at the Table [Please add to favorites and send flowers] (Old Version)
In the cafeteria of the White Trojan Horse, the sound of plates colliding could be heard one after another.
With supplies currently in short supply, today’s rations consist only of synthetic protein blocks and dehydrated vegetable soup.
Opposite Yota, Amuro was repeatedly stabbing the lifeless egg whites with a fork, while Yota was pinching a piece of energy crystal and dipping it into the soup from time to time – this was his newly invented “seasoning method”.
“Yota, you Ultramen… have you really never hurt anyone by accident?” Amuro suddenly spoke.
The metal spoon hung suspended in mid-air near Brad’s lips.
Frau’s fork clattered heavily onto the plate.
A strange reflection flashed across Saiyi’s glasses.
The cafeteria suddenly fell into silence, and the three seconds seemed to be stretched infinitely.
The crystal in Yangtai’s hand stopped at the surface of the soup and trembled slightly: “Sometimes accidents happen.”
Everyone turned their eyes to him.
“For example, the first generation senior.” Yang Tai touched the soup bowl with his fingertips, and the shadow of the silver giant appeared on the turbid soup.
“While pursuing Bermuda in the atmosphere, he accidentally crashed Team Hayata’s plane.”
As the words were spoken, the burning wreckage of the plane appeared in the soup. In the holographic projection, Ultraman picked up the dying pilot, his huge body in sharp contrast to the fragility of human beings.
Frau couldn’t help but cover her mouth and let out a suppressed cry: “Oh my God…”
“To atone for his sins, he merged his life with Hayata’s.”
The light and shadow on the soup noodles flow, presenting a picture of the fusion of humans and the giant of light.
“We will share the same body from now on.”
“Isn’t this… possession?!” Kai suddenly spoke, breaking the brief silence.
Youta shook his head in denial, scooping up a spoonful of the slightly glowing soup. “It’s symbiosis. Team member Hayata is still able to live as a human, only transforming when necessary.”
Amuro stared at his shaking hands and asked, “So… you would rather die than kill?”
The soup spoon slowly deformed in Yangtai’s hand.
“There was a soldier named Jack who once used his body to stop a falling space station.”
The image of a giant being pierced by steel appeared on the surface of the soup, and the colorful timer flashed a red light that was about to go out.
“The fragment pierced his color timer.”
Mile subconsciously clenched the napkin, and the paper turned to powder between his fingers.
Brad suddenly put down his cutlery: “These values ​​are not used on the battlefield…”
“Wait! If it merges with humans, won’t Hayata age?” Sai interrupted anxiously.
In Yangtai’s soup, light particles condensed into spiral DNA chains: “The life of light will delay the aging of the host cells–“
“What about you?!” Amuro stood up suddenly, and the chair scraped against the ground with a harsh sound.
“Have you ever…failed?”
In an instant, the cafeteria’s lighting system flickered wildly, the ventilation ducts made a whimpering sound, and an invisible pressure enveloped everyone.
“In the K76 Nebula…” Yangtai’s voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, and he unconsciously left a scorch mark on the table.
“When I pierced the meteorite with the Spacium ray… a lifeboat was right on its trajectory.”
In the noodle soup projection, the wreckage of the spacecraft was scattered in the explosion, and a broken children’s toy was slowly spinning in the void.
Frau’s tears dripped into the soup, creating tiny ripples. “What happened next?”
A faint light shone in Yangtai’s palm, and the image of a miniature planet emerged. “I spent three months using the repair beam to reconstruct that meteorite.”
In the image, starlight converges into the shape of a tombstone. “Now it is a memorial for astronauts.”
“Are you kidding me? How can you be blamed for this accident?!” Amuro slammed his fist on the dining table, and three plates fell over.
Light particles flickered in Yangtai’s eyes as he pushed aside the completely glowing vegetable soup. “With great power comes great responsibility. Even the slightest mistake on our part would be a disaster for the weak.”
After a moment of silence, Brad adjusted his military cap and stood up. “Tactical meeting in fifteen minutes.”
As he passed by Youta, he whispered, “…Thank you for the soup.”
Everyone left one after another.
Amuro stood there, staring at Youta’s hands – those hands, glowing slightly, were slowly bending the twisted spoon back to its original shape.
“If…if it was me then…” Amuro muttered.
Yota inserted the repaired spoon into Amuro’s protein block and smiled: “You will become an excellent Ultraman. After all, you can even control the runaway nuclear furnace.”
Amuro stared blankly at the remaining light particles on the spoon handle until the sharp alarm sounded again, breaking the silence.
第十五章：仇恨的锁链【求收藏 求鲜花】（旧版）
Inside the White Trojan’s hangar, alarms wailed sharply. Amuro quickly tightened the straps of his suit. Yōta stood nearby, his fingertips glowing faintly as he adjusted the Gundam’s power transmission lines.
“This time it’s Ramba Lal.” Blade’s voice came through the communicator. “He carries Dozle’s orders and seeks revenge for Karma.”
Amuro sneered and tightened his grip on the joystick: “Let him do it.”
Yang Tai looked up at him and said, “Don’t let your anger get to your head.”
Amuro didn’t answer, but simply started the Gundam’s engine.
In space, Lamba’s orange mobile suit stands out. He stands on the deck of a Zeon battleship, his long sword pointed at the approaching white Trojan.
“Amuro Ray!” Lamba’s voice came through the communication channel. “If you have the guts, fight me fair and square. Don’t hide behind that giant!”
Amuro’s brow furrowed, his finger already on the trigger of his beam rifle. “You think I need someone else to defeat you?”
Just as the Gundam was about to charge, a flash of silver light appeared, and Youta, transformed into Ultraman, stood between the two machines.
“Ramba Lal,” Youta’s voice went straight into everyone’s heads, “Karma’s death wasn’t Amuro’s fault.”
Lamba roared: “Shut up! The Federation’s lackeys have no right to-“
“It was Char Aznable who schemed against Karma,” Youta interrupted calmly, “but Char himself was also a victim.”
Lamba’s mobile suit jolted. “What did you say?”
Yōta’s eyes gleamed faintly, and a blurry image emerged from the universe—a fragment of Char’s memory. It was the scene where Dozle Zabi coldly ordered the execution of the Daken family. A young Char hid in the shadows, hatred burning in his eyes.
“Dozle killed Char’s father, Char killed Dozle’s son, and now you’re seeking revenge on Amuro.” Youta’s voice was heavy. “This hatred will only grow. You’re all human. There’s no need to keep retaliating like this.”
Lamba’s mobile suit froze in place, but soon, his roar rang out again: “Ridiculous! Do you think you can whitewash the Federation’s crimes by making up this kind of story?”
Amuro gritted his teeth, “Youta, get out of the way! He won’t listen!”
Youta didn’t move. “Ramba, your loyalty is being exploited. The real enemy isn’t Amuro, nor is it the White Trojan Horse.”
“Shut up!” Lamba’s MS suddenly accelerated and rushed over, pointing the long sword directly at Ultraman’s chest, “I don’t need aliens to teach me what to do!”
Yangtai sighed and raised his hand slightly. A transparent barrier blocked Ramba’s slash, and the shockwave sent nearby debris flying.
“Enough!” Amuro finally couldn’t help himself. The Gundam rushed out from the side, and the beam saber slashed directly at Lamba’s mobile suit. “If you want to fight, I’ll accompany you!”
The two machines clashed fiercely in space, sparks flying silently in the vacuum of space. Ramba’s swordsmanship was sharp, each strike carrying the fury of revenge; Amuro’s defense was precise and restrained, his beam saber always avoiding the vital parts of the cockpit.
“Why didn’t you kill him?!” Lamba roared, “Do you look down on me?”
Amuro gritted his teeth and replied, “I’m not you! I won’t lose my mind for revenge!”
Yota hovered aside and did not intervene. He knew that Amuro had to face this battle alone.
Finally, after a violent collision, Ramba’s mobile suit lost its balance. Amuro’s beam saber reached the front of his cockpit, but did not penetrate.
“It’s over,” Amuro gasped. “I’m sorry about Karma’s death, but if we continue like this, more people will die.”
Lamba’s mobile suit remained motionless. His breathing was heavy and ragged over the communication channel.
“…What do you know…” His voice suddenly dropped, “Master Karma…”
Yota slowly approached, “Hatred only breeds new hatred. Stop it, Ramba.”
Silence lasted for several seconds. Finally, Ramba’s mobile suit slowly lowered its weapon.
“…Next time we meet, I will show no mercy.” He whispered, turned around and activated the retreat signal.
The Zeon fleet began to retreat, and Amuro breathed a sigh of relief. The lining of his Gundam cockpit was already soaked with sweat.
Yangtai returned to his human form and floated into the cockpit of the Gundam. Amuro glanced at him and said in a hoarse voice, “You already knew about Char?”
Yang Tai nodded: “The ability of the Kingdom of Light allows me to see some memory fragments.”
Amuro gripped the joystick tightly. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“Some truths must be discovered by the parties involved themselves.” Youta looked at the Zeon fleet gradually disappearing, “Otherwise, the hatred will never truly end.”
Amuro was silent for a long time, and finally turned off the Gundam’s engine.
“Go back,” he whispered, “Brad must be waiting impatiently.”
The hatch of the white wooden horse slowly closed, locking the debris and unresolved grudges in the universe out.
Chapter 16: The Shackles of War (Old Version)
Majiroda’s transport plane slowly landed on the deck of the White Trojan. She quickly walked towards Amuro, while behind her, the mechanics were busy unloading the components of the specially designed air armor.
“This is new equipment,” Magiluda patted the metal box, “which allows the Gundam to be assembled in mid-air and transformed into flight form.”
Amuro stroked the Federation emblem on the armor plate with a complicated look in his eyes. “Thank you, but what we need more now is to end this battle.”
Maggieloda frowned. “You’ve changed. Before, you would just jump in excitedly for a test drive.”
Amuro looked at the wreckage of the Zeon floating in the distance. “Because someone made me realize that every mobile suit shot down contains a human with a family.”
?
In space, Lamba’s orange mobile suit stood alone in front of the white wooden horse. His communication channel was filled with only rustling noises. Dozle’s reinforcements would never arrive.
“Amuro Ray!” Lamba pointed his long sword at the Gundam. “Only one of us can escape alive today!”
Amuro took a deep breath. In the cockpit of the Gundam, Youta’s voice sounded softly: “He is begging for death.”
“I know.” Amuro pushed the joystick, “But I won’t let him do that.”
The Gundam and Lamba’s mobile suits crossed each other, and the beam sabers accurately cut off the other’s long swords. At the same time, the White Trojan’s artillery fire blocked Lamba’s retreat, forcing him into the asteroid belt.
“That’s enough, Lamba!” Amuro turned on the full-band communication. “You know you have no chance of winning!”
Ramba’s mobile suit stopped, its armor covered in cracks: “This is the fate of a soldier…” He slowly raised his spare gun and aimed it at his cockpit.
A silver light flashed, and Ultraman’s fingers penetrated the armor and crushed the gun barrel.
“Death is not a release,” Yangtai’s voice came directly into Lamba’s mind, “Only living can atone for sins.”
Suddenly, a Zeon core fighter rushed towards the white wooden horse like crazy.
“Lord Lamba!” Harmon’s cry echoed across the channel. “I’m coming!”
Dragon Jose’s core fighter immediately took off to intercept: “Don’t even think about it!”
Just when the two planes were about to collide, Ultraman unfolded a barrier with his hands and forcibly separated the two planes.
“Stop!” Yangtai’s roar made the communicator buzz. “How many lives do you want hatred to consume before it’s enough?”
Lamba’s face suddenly appeared on Harmon’s screen: “Harmon… I’m still alive.”
“Lord Lanba?” Harmon’s vision was blurred by tears.
Yang Tai untransformed and landed on the deck of the white wooden horse. His voice was soft, but it silenced everyone:
“There are no winners in war, only losers. Every person who dies today will allow their living loved ones to continue sowing hatred. War will only bring pain to both sides.”
Lamba’s mobile suit slowly landed next to the white wooden horse. He stepped out, holding onto the damaged armor, and Hamon cried and threw herself into his arms.
Amuro opened the cockpit and looked at his former enemy. “Let’s go before I change my mind.”
Lamba picked up Harmon and took one last look at the white wooden horse. “Your Federation… truly has a terrifying weapon.” He pointed to his heart. “It’s not that giant, it’s this.”
The sound of the transport plane’s engine gradually faded away, and Amuro turned around to find that Youta was looking towards the direction of the earth.
“Will they change?” Amuro asked.
Yang Tai shook his head: “I don’t know. But at least today, we put an end to the hatred.”
Magiluda came over and tossed the key to the new equipment to Amuro. “Now can I try out your new toy, Mr. Philosopher?”
Amuro took the key and smiled for the first time in his life. “This time, I will use it to protect, not kill.”
The white battleship continued to sail towards the earth, and in the universe behind it, the two Zeon planes gradually turned into starlight.
Chapter 17: Redemption [Please add to favorites and send flowers] (Old version)
In the corridor of the White Trojan Horse, Michael Brown walked quickly with a stack of data tablets in his arms.
Her blonde hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and the second lieutenant’s insignia gleamed on her uniform—the disguise she had acquired after infiltrating the Confederate Army.
Around the corner, Youta was leaning against the wall, spinning a glowing energy crystal in his hand.
“Ms. Michael,” he greeted with a smile, “Have you finished checking the supply list for today?”
Michael’s fingers tightened slightly. “There’s one last part, sir.”
Yang Tai nodded, but his eyes fell on the old bracelet that appeared on her sleeve. “Handmade? Very exquisite.”
Michael subconsciously covered his wrist: “It’s just… my sister’s childish work.”
“I know a kid who can also weave this kind of knot.” Yangta spun the crystal around his fingertips. “Flau’s eight-year-old niece lost her parents in the Side 7 air raid.”
Michael’s pupils suddenly contracted.
In the cafeteria, Kai was enthusiastically explaining the secrets of the vending machine to Michael: “Press this key combination to get an extra pack of cookies. A little trick for the maintenance team.”
Michael forced a smile as he took the biscuits, and suddenly noticed that Yangtai was sitting not far away with a holographic projection floating in front of him – it was the scene where she secretly transmitted data last night.
Her fork clattered onto the tray. He just blinked, and the projection switched to a childlike star map.
“This is…” Kai leaned closer curiously.
“Amuro taught Earth’s orphans to draw this.” Yota zoomed in on one of the crooked colonies. “He said he wanted to be Ultraman for these kids.”
Michael suddenly stood up: “I suddenly remembered that I still have a report to report…”
“That’s perfect,” Youta also stood up, “Can you help me take these candies to the children in the medical bay? They were rescued from the Zeon controlled area.”
In the transparent bag he handed over, mixed among the colorful candies was a Zeon military card – the same one her brother had when he joined the army.
Late at night in the warehouse, Michael finally stopped Yangta who was alone.
“You knew it a long time ago.” She held the stun gun in her trembling hands. “Why didn’t you expose me?”
Yota was sorting toys for the children, not even looking up. “You helped Frau fix the birthday card for her niece today.”
“So what!”
“There’s a boy in the medical bay,” Youta said, picking up the broken robot toy. “He’s the same age as your brother. He always says he wants to protect his sister.”
Michael’s weapon clattered to the ground.
“The medicine Char gave you can only alleviate your sister’s symptoms for three months.” Yota’s hand glowed faintly, and the toy was restored to its original state. “And the doctor at White Trojan Horse just cured a similar case yesterday.”
Michael slumped on the box: “You…even this…”
“It’s not mind reading.” Yang Tai pointed to the medicine list exposed at her waist, “Captain Bright approved the special medical quota.”
The next morning, in the captain’s room, Yang Tai leaned against the window, looking towards the medical bay. Kai was leading a group of children in morning exercises, two of them with particularly lively blond hair surrounded Michael and called her “sister.”
Michael and Kai were busy trying to entertain the children.
“Yang Tai had already explained the reason to the captain a long time ago. You’re always like this,” Brett sighed. “Last time you let Lamba go, and now…”
A miniature projection of the Earth appeared at Yangtai’s fingertips: “The universe is big enough to accommodate more hope.”
Chapter 18: Love Rival, Amuro’s Jealousy [Please add to favorites and send flowers] (Old Version)
Inside the hangar of the White Trojan Horse, mechanics were busy assembling the newly arrived equipment.
Amuro stood aside, his eyes occasionally glancing towards the entrance – Magiluda’s transport plane had just landed.
“I heard that the flight unit delivered this time is a special edition?” Amuro asked the mechanic beside him pretending to be nonchalant, but his fingers unconsciously tapped the armor of the Gundam.
The mechanic was about to respond when a clear female voice came from behind him: “Yes, it also comes with this ‘gift’ for me.”
Amuro turned suddenly and almost bumped into Magiluda.
She was not wearing a military jacket today, only a tight white shirt, her blonde hair casually tied behind her head, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
“M-Lieutenant Magiluda!” Amuro’s ears instantly turned red. “I didn’t expect you to personally…”
Maggieloda waved her hand gently. “Just call me Maggieloda.” Her gaze passed Amuro and suddenly stopped in a certain direction. “Who is that…?”
Amuro followed her gaze—Yota was suspended in mid-air, a faint light flickering on his fingertips, helping the mechanics calibrate the energy transmission lines.
“Oh, that’s Youta, he…” Before Amuro could finish his words, Magiluda strode over.
“So you are the legendary ‘Giant of Light’?” Magiluda crossed her arms and looked up at Yangta who was floating in the air.
Yang Tai landed slowly and nodded slightly: “I am just a temporary member of the White Trojan Horse.”
Magiluda suddenly moved closer, almost touching Youta’s chest: “Can you let me see your transformation process?”
“Uh…” Yang Tai was rarely speechless and unconsciously took a step back.
In the distance, the wrench in Amuro’s hand fell to the ground with a clang.
In the restaurant, Amuro was busy picking at the synthetic meat on his plate, his knife and fork scraping against it. Yangta sat down across from him, holding his plate.
“The energy converter was debugged well today.” Yangtai said nonchalantly.
Amuro snorted.
Yang Tai raised an eyebrow: “Did I offend you?”
“No.” Amuro stuck his fork into the meat. “I just think some people appear serious on the surface, but they are very enthusiastic when they see beautiful women.”
Yangtai’s spoon stopped in mid-air: “…Are you talking about Magiluda?”
“I didn’t mention any names!”
Yang Tai suddenly laughed: “Amuro, you wouldn’t…”
“No what?” Amuro looked like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
“Are you jealous?”
Amuro’s face flushed red instantly. “Nonsense! How could I…she just…”
Yang Tai drank his soup slowly and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not interested in human women.”
“W-What do you mean by…to human women…” Amuro’s voice suddenly stopped. “Wait, are you…to human men…”
Yang Tai choked on his soup: “I’m saying I’m not interested in love! The mission of the Kingdom of Light warriors is…”
“Hey, what are you talking about?” Magiluda had appeared behind them, two cups of coffee in her hands. “Mr. Youta, could you do me the honor of having a cup of coffee? I’d like to ask you something about the M78 Nebula.”
Amuro’s fork bent.
In the corridor, Youta stopped the angry Amuro.
“You really misunderstood.” Yang Tai said helplessly, “She is just interested in interstellar civilization.”
Amuro turned his face away: “It’s none of my business.”
“If you really want to make a fuss…” Yang Tai suddenly became serious, “There’s no need for you to be angry.”
“ha?”
Yang Tai added seriously: “Because if we really fight, you can’t beat me.”
Amuro was stunned, then became angry and said, “Who wants to fight with you?”
Maggieloda popped her head around the corner. “Are you guys talking about fighting techniques? Add me in?”
The two men froze at the same time.
Late at night at the observation tower, Youta found Amuro looking at the stars alone.
“Here.” He handed over a can of beer—from Brad’s secret stash.
Amuro took it glumly, “…Thank you.”
“Actually, she has been looking at you.” Yangtai said suddenly.
“What?”
“This afternoon, when you were adjusting the Gundam, she looked at you twenty-seven times.” A sly glint flashed in Yangtai’s eyes. “Ultraman has excellent dynamic vision.”
Amuro’s beer can was dented. “…Then why does she keep pestering you with questions?”
“Maybe…” Yang Tai raised his head and drank his beer, “to make a certain slow-witted ace pilot more jealous?”
Amuro’s beer sprayed three meters away.
The next morning, Magiluda stopped Youta in the hangar.
“Thank you for your cooperation.” She winked slyly. “Did he take any action last night?”
Yota sighed, “You humans are such complicated creatures.”
“That’s the fun of it.” Magiluda smiled as she walked towards Amuro, who was pretending to carefully inspect the Gundam. “Hey, rookie pilot! Do you want to invite your ‘rival’ to lunch?”
Amuro bumped his head into the Gundam’s knee.
Yangtai shook his head, and the light particles on his fingertips formed a small heart in the air, which quickly dissipated. Perhaps protecting such daily life is also one of the missions of the Warrior of Light.
Chapter 19: Youth’s Heart [Seeking Collection and Flowers] (Old Version)
[White Trojan Lounge Afternoon]Yang Tai leaned against the porthole, and the light particles at his fingertips slowly rotated in the air, condensing into a small nebula model.
Amuro, standing opposite, was concentrating on debugging the Gundam’s remote control. The sound of metal parts colliding was particularly clear in the quiet lounge.
“By the way, Amuro,” Youta suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence, “how old are you?”
“15 years old.” Amuro didn’t even look up, his slender fingers nimbly adjusting the knob.
The nebula model on Yangtai’s fingertip suddenly twisted and then dissipated into tiny spots of light: “…How much?”
“Fifteen.” Amuro finally raised his head, his brows slightly furrowed. “What’s wrong?”
Yang Tai stared at the boy’s tender face, his expression becoming complicated: “In my hometown, kids your age are still playing space monster cards.”
Amuro scoffed, his gaze returning to the device. “This is a battlefield, not a kindergarten.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the lounge opened and Kai strode in, carrying a toolbox. Long followed behind, whistling. “What kindergarten?” Kai poked his head in curiously, the wrenches in the toolbox clinking as he moved.
“We were discussing Amuro’s age,” Youta shrugged.
Long whistled exaggeratedly: “Oh~ Is our little genius finally going to face the troubles of puberty?”
Amuro’s ears instantly turned red, and he slammed the remote control on the table: “Shut up!”
At this moment, Maggieloda walked in with coffee, and the rich aroma filled the air. “So lively?”
Yang Tai’s eyes suddenly lit up: “By the way, Amuro, do you have a girlfriend?”
The entire lounge suddenly became so quiet that you could hear the soft clink of coffee cups and saucers.
Amuro stood up suddenly, the metal chair scraping against the floor with a sharp sound. “Now, focus on fighting! Who has time for that?”
Maggieloda chuckled and turned the engagement ring on her ring finger: “Oh, what a pity~”
“Come to think of it,” Yang Tai pretended to be suddenly enlightened, “it seems that Lieutenant Magiluda is engaged? Is it with… Lieutenant Woody Muldoon?”
With a thud, the remote control in Amuro’s hand fell to the ground. He stared at Magiluda blankly, his Adam’s apple moving. “…Huh?”
“That’s right,” Maggieloda smiled gently, her eyes full of anticipation, “We’ll get married after the war is over.
He is currently on a mission on another warship, and we agreed to live together until the day of peace.”
After ten seconds of silence, Long finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and slammed his hands on the table as he burst into laughter: “Hahaha! Our little ace is heartbroken!”
Kai wiped away his nonexistent tears and imitated Amuro’s tone: “‘Now I need to focus on fighting’~”
Magiluda reached out and ruffled Amuro’s hair. “Sorry, little one, I already have someone in my heart.”
Amuro’s face flushed crimson, he grabbed the remote and turned away: “You guys are so annoying!”
“Wait!” Yang Tai stopped him and took out a box of chocolates from his pocket. “This is a comfort gift from Michael.”
Amuro glared at him, “You knew that already?”
“I saw the marriage application when I was sorting out the documents yesterday.” Yang Tai spread his hands innocently.
The lounge erupted in laughter, and even Magiluda couldn’t help but chuckle.
Watching Amuro rush out the door, Magiluda was a little worried: “Is this too much?”
Yang Tai looked at the light particles that had re-condensed in his hand and said seriously, “On the battlefield, this level of jokes can actually make people relax.”
Long laughed until tears came out: “But that kid actually…”
Kai suddenly became serious: “Wait, he’s not going to take his anger out on Gundam, is he?”
The three of them looked at each other and rushed towards the hangar at the same time.
[Inside the hangar]Amuro leaned against the Gundam’s feet, biting into the chocolate fiercely, the wrapper crumpled and scattered on the floor. “Stupid Youta… Stupid Majiroda…” he muttered softly, mechanically stuffing the sweets into his mouth.
“Actually…” Yangtai’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.
“Wow!” Amuro almost jumped up in fright.
Amuro was silent for a long time, then whispered, “…I shouldn’t lose my temper.”
Yang Tai patted his shoulder and said, “At fifteen, you have the right to be willful.”
Amuro suddenly became alert: “Wait! Did you just use Ultra Telekinesis to read my mind?”
“I really didn’t this time.” Yangtai raised his hands and pointed to the maintenance log. “You wrote it yourself.”
Amuro looked down and saw the maintenance log filled with “Magiloda”. He wailed and grabbed a rag to wipe it frantically.
[Outside the hangar]Maggieloda leaned against the wall, looking at the flustered young man inside, a gentle smile on her lips: “Do you want to comfort him?”
Long shook his head: “Let the kid digest it himself.”
Kai looked at the battleships in the distance and sighed softly: “Love in war can support people for a long time…”
The three of them smiled at each other and left silently. The setting sun streamed in through the hangar window, illuminating the boy’s flushed face.
[Dinner Time]A variety of desserts were piled in front of Amuro’s seat. Frau set down a plate of pudding and said with a mischievous smile, “I heard someone’s heart broke?”
Saiyi pushed his glasses and said seriously, “According to statistics, the failure rate of first love at the age of fifteen is…”
“I want to apply to be transferred to the front line!” Amuro ate his food in silence, his ears turning red again.
Yang Tai drank an energy drink and said slowly: “By the way, the legal age of adulthood in the Kingdom of Light is 7800.”
The whole table fell silent. Amuro looked up suddenly. “Are you bragging about never having puberty?”
Laughter filled the cafeteria again, and Captain Brad couldn’t help but curl his lips as he watched this scene.
Chapter 20: Redemption in the Sky (Old Version)
The alarm of the white Trojan horse pierced the sky, and the red warning light illuminated the corridor blood red.
Kai pushed open the hangar door, and Michael followed closely behind, holding the missile launcher’s control panel tightly in his hand.
The ambush force is approaching from the three o’clock direction! Brad’s urgent voice came from the communicator. It’s Char’s elite team!
Amuro has already sat in the Gundam cockpit, and Youta is standing outside the cabin door with a frown: Char’s plan is wrong this time.
No matter what’s wrong! Kai jumped into the core fighter and stretched out his hand to Michael, “Come up! This time you will be responsible for the missile lock!”
Michael hesitated for a moment: But I am not yet fully familiar with the new system
Believe me! Kai grinned, You are much better than my clumsy maintenance team!
Over the battlefield
The flames of the explosion dyed the clouds red. Amuro’s Gundam weaved through the enemy lines, firing precise bursts of his beam rifle.
“Kai! Two Zakus have broken through the defenses on the left!” Amuro shouted over the comms.
Leave it to me! Kai’s core fighter rolled over, Michael, prepare to launch!
Michael’s fingers moved rapidly on the control panel, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead: Lock completed… Wait! The system indicates a missile thruster failure!
Kai cursed: “Manual fire! Quick!”
Michael took a deep breath, pulled open the safety cover, and pressed the red button hard: Fire!
The missile roared out and hit the target accurately. But no one expected that the violent tail flame shock wave would shatter the hatch of the core fighter, and Michael was instantly thrown out of the cabin!
Michael! Kai’s roar was drowned out by the explosion.
Falling from a height
Michael was tumbling in the strong wind, his oxygen mask long gone.
She vaguely saw the ground below getting closer and closer, and the only sound in her ears was the whistling wind.
(Is this the end? My younger brother and sister are still waiting for me in the medical bay…)
Suddenly, a dazzling silver light streaked across the sky!
Hold on to me! The familiar voice rang directly in her mind.
Michael felt himself falling into a huge palm, and the storm around him subsided instantly.
She looked up and saw that Youta, transformed into Ultraman, was staring at her, his glowing eyes warmer than ever.
“You… knew this would happen?” Michael asked tremblingly.
Ultraman shook his head slightly: But I’m always prepared.
White Trojan Landing Deck
When Yangtai regained his human form and landed with Michael, who was unharmed, in his arms, the entire battleship erupted in cheers.
Kai was the first to rush over and hugged Michael in his arms.
You scared me to death! His voice was still trembling. If Yang Tai had been a second later…
Michael patted him on the back: I’m fine…really.
Amuro jumped down from the Gundam and punched Youta on the shoulder: You guy, you even calculated the falling trajectory in advance, right?
Yangta smiled: It’s just the dynamic vision of the Land of Light.
Brad walked forward and smiled rarely: On behalf of all the White Trojans…thank you.
Michael suddenly broke free from Kai’s arms and bowed deeply to Yang Tai: Thank you for saving me… and my family.
Yang Tai helped her up: It was your own courage that created the miracle.
(In the distance, at the window of the medical cabin, two small figures are waving desperately)
Night Observation Deck
Michael finds Youta who is looking at the stars alone: Actually…Char’s last order to me was to destroy the engine of the White Trojan Horse.
Yang Tai said without turning his head: I know.
Then why do you still…
Because I saw you secretly leaving candy for the children in the medical bay. Yang Tai turned around. The Warrior of Light can sense the light in people’s hearts.
Tears welled up in Michael’s eyes: Now I finally understand… why Amuro and the others trust you so much.
Yang Tai looked up at the stars: Trust is mutual. Just like you chose to launch a missile manually today instead of executing the original plan.
Michael’s eyes widened in shock: You even know this…
Shh—Yota raised his finger, this is our secret.
(A shooting star streaked across the night sky, as if witnessing a new promise)
[Morning meeting the next day]Brad (knocking on the table): According to the information provided by Lieutenant Michael, Char’s next target is…
Amuro (suddenly interrupts): Wait, why did she suddenly become Lieutenant Michael?
Kai (putting his arm around Michael’s shoulders proudly): Because the captain specially approved her to be a regular employee!
Everyone (cheer): Oh~~~
Yota (whispering to Amuro): It’s much smoother than your pursuit of Magiluda.
Amuro (blushing): Hey!
Chapter 21: Bloody Jabro [Seeking Collection and Flowers] (Old Version)
The white wooden horse slowly landed on the giant lift platform of the Gaburo base.
Amuro looked out from the cockpit at the steel fortress hidden deep underground and frowned. “The atmosphere here is not right.”
Yota stood behind him, a glint in his eyes: “Char’s troops are approaching… He’s bringing something incredible this time.”
[Base Command Room]Maggieloda walked quickly towards a brown-haired officer and said, “Woody! Aren’t you on Luna II?”
Lieutenant Woody Muldoon smiled and hugged his fiancée: “Temporarily transferred here to test the new type of Jim… Is this the legendary Giant of Light?” He looked at Youta curiously.
Yota nodded slightly, “The GMs you produced are excellent, but not strong enough to fight against Char’s new machines.”
Woody raised an eyebrow: “Are you sure?”
Amuro suddenly interrupted, “He’s right. Char’s Red Scorpion’s energy response on the radar is… abnormal.”
The alarm suddenly sounded.
[Battlefield·Underground Passage]Char’s red scorpion shuttled through the steel corridor like a ghost, and every flash of the beam cannon was accompanied by the explosion of the Federation machine.
“Too slow, you Federation bastards.”
Char’s voice echoed across the communication channel, “Is this the Jim you’ve been pinning your hopes on?”
Amuro’s Gundam attacks from the side: “Char!”
The two machines clashed fiercely in the narrow passage, sparks flying everywhere. Suddenly, a GM rushed into the battlefield and accurately blocked the Gundam—it was Woody’s machine!
“Amuro! Outflanking from the right!” Woody shouted.
Xia sneered: “Another one seeking death.”
The red scorpion’s claws suddenly extended and pierced through Woody’s cockpit!
“No!!!” Maggieloda’s scream exploded in the communication channel.
[Base perimeter·Temporary command post]Yang Tai held down the trembling Majiloda: “Breathe…breathe slowly.”
Magiluda dug her nails into Youta’s arm: “He clearly… promised to come back.”
Brad walked in with a sullen face: “Char’s troops have broken through the third line of defense. We must—”
Yang Tai suddenly looked up: “Give me three minutes.”
Without waiting for a response, he turned into a silver light and rushed out of the command post.
[Battlefield Center]Just as Char was about to deliver a fatal blow to the last GM, a dazzling light suddenly enveloped the battlefield.
Ultraman’s huge palm firmly caught his attack.
“Hello again, alien visitor.”
Char’s Red Scorpion took a half step back. “Are you going to stop me from taking revenge this time?”
Yota didn’t answer, but just gently lowered his palm – a brown-haired girl wearing the uniform of the Zeon army was standing there.
“Brother Casbal…” the girl called out tremblingly.
Char’s machine suddenly froze. “…Sera?”
[Edge of the Battlefield·Telepathic Space]Char and Sera finally face each other in their true colors.
“Why are you here now?” Char’s voice was icy. “When I’m about to complete my revenge.”
Sera burst into tears: “Is the revenge of the Deacon family really more important than the living relatives?”
Yang Tai stood between the two of them: “Xiaya, your sister has been looking for you.”
Char clenched and unclenched his fists. “…The Zabi family must pay with blood.”
“And then?” Yang Tai asked, “Let Sera lose her only family again?”
Sera suddenly stepped forward and hugged her brother: “Come with me… Please…”
Xia’s body trembled slightly, but he finally pushed her away: “…It’s not the time yet.”
The illusion was shattered, and the Red Scorpion suddenly activated its thrusters and disappeared in the smoke.
[Medical Room]Maggieloda sat on the hospital bed, clutching her blood-stained wedding ring. Yang Tai gently sat down beside her.
“He said… he’d take me to see the sea after the war.” Her voice was hollow. “What a liar.”
A warm glow emanated from Yangtai’s palms. “Would you like to see the Sea of Light?”
Light particles intertwined in the air, forming a vast nebula. A meteor streaked across the sky, transforming into the shape of a ring.
“In M78, we believe that lost lives will become stars.” Yang Tai said softly, “He is guarding you in a place you can’t see.”
Maggieloda’s tears finally burst out: “…a childish fairy tale.”
“But it’s beautiful, isn’t it?”
Outside, Amuro silently lowered his hand, ready to knock, and turned toward the hangar. Some wounds can only be healed by the Warrior of Light.
[Post-war summary room]Brad tapped the tactical board: “Although the losses were heavy, the base was saved.”
Michael asked in a low voice: “That Char’s sister…”
Yang Tai said calmly: “She finally said that she would wait for her brother to come back.”
Kai suddenly slammed the table and said, “So that bastard Xia Ya killed Lieutenant Woody and just ran away like that?”
A trace of fatigue flashed in Yangtai’s eyes: “Hatred is like a rolling boulder… We can only wait for him to stop.”
Amuro stood up. “Next time we meet, I’ll put an end to this myself.”
Yota looked out the window at the starry sky: “No, Amuro… Your mission is not to end life, but to protect the future.”
Chapter 22: Comfort Under the Starlight [Please add to favorites and send flowers] (Old version)
[White Trojan · Medical Outdoor Corridor]Amuro leaned his back against the metal wall, his toes unconsciously kicking the floor.
When Yangtai came over with the nutritious meal, the boy rushed forward as if he had found a life-saving straw.
“Um…Magiloda is in your hands.”
He spoke rapidly, his eyes fixed on the fire extinguisher in the distance, “She hasn’t been eating… but she might listen to what you have to say.”
Youta nearly knocked over his tray. “Wait, why me?”
Amuro’s ears flushed. “Because you’re a Warrior of Light! Isn’t comforting people your specialty?”
The corner of Yang Tai’s mouth twitched: “We are good at fighting monsters, not dealing with emotional problems…”
Amuro was already running away backwards. “Anyway, I’ll leave it to you!”
[Inside the medical room]Maggieloda huddled by the observation window, her usually neat golden hair now disheveled.
Yangtai gently placed the tray on the bedside, and the sound of metal clinking made her shoulders tremble.
“Synthetic protein again?” Her voice was hoarse.
A faint gleam shone from Yangtai’s fingertips. “I adjusted the molecular structure. It tastes like… uh, should it be better than the original?”
Magiluda finally turned her head, staring at the glowing food with red and swollen eyes: “Are all you Ultramen so… weird?”
“It’s called plasma cooking,” Yang Tai explained seriously, “In the Kingdom of Light, even baby monsters love to eat it.”
This sentence unexpectedly hit Maggieloda’s funny spot. She covered her mouth and her shoulders shook – it was hard to tell whether she was crying or laughing.
[Three Days Later: Bridge Rest Area]Michael secretly grabbed Youta and said, “Magiloda-senpai is wearing lipstick today!”
Kai peeked out from behind the datapad. “She even asked to borrow my perfume!”
Brad coughed dryly: “You guys have a lot of free time?”
Everyone scattered, leaving Yang Tai alone to face the captain’s meaningful gaze.
“She just… needs to find a reason to live again.” Yang Tai explained helplessly.
Brad patted his shoulder and said, “You know that the medical room surveillance recordings are archived, right?”
Yangtai’s light particles suddenly lost control and exploded into a ball of fireworks above his head.
[Awkward encounter outside the officer’s bathroom]Majiloda, with her hair still dripping with water, blocked Yangta, who was holding a bunch of energy crystals.
“I heard that you asked Brad to be transferred to the front line?” Her bathrobe straps were loose.
Yangtai stared at the ceiling: “It’s just a routine patrol…”
“Look at me.”
Maggieloda suddenly reached out and straightened his face. “After Woody left, it was you who sent me those silly glowing stars every day… (She pointed at the constellation of light particles floating on the bedside table) It was you who turned the nutritious meals into something strange but delicious…”
Yang Tai’s ear fins began to turn blue: “This is between comrades…”
“Don’t give me that.” Majiloda suddenly leaned closer. “You people from the Land of Light… can you develop feelings for humans?”
Yang Tai’s crystals scatter all over the floor: “Theoretically… no… I mean…”
“Pfft…” Maggieloda suddenly laughed out loud, “Your expression right now is more interesting than when Jetton stepped on your foot.”
[Observation Tower·Late Night Talk]“So?” Amuro nibbled on the space cookies that Youta had hidden. “What are you two…”
Yangtai’s light particles swirled anxiously: “She said she was just teasing me.”
“Idiot.” Amuro rolled his eyes. “When a woman says she’s teasing you…”
Michael’s voice suddenly sounded from behind: “It means to get serious!”
Kai held up the recorder: “Do you need emotional counseling? The fee is three energy crystals each time~”
Yangtai directly activated Ultra Teleport.
[The Eve of the Final Battle]Magiluda found Youta charging the Gundam in the hangar.
“Listen.” She grabbed his horn-shaped ear fins. “If you try to be a hero like Woody tomorrow…”
Yangtai suddenly took her hand and said, “After the war is over… do you want to go see the Sea of Light?”
Maggieloda was stunned: “…Is this a date invitation?”
“In M78 this is called… uh… friendly inter-civilization exchange?”
The laughter of the maintenance team came from the feet of the Gundam. Magiluda blushed and buried her face in Youta’s chest: “Your heartbeat is so loud…”
Outside the window, a meteor shower streaks across Earth’s night sky………………………………
Chapter 23: Not buddies? Both of you? [Please add to favorites and send flowers] (Old version)
At the immigration checkpoint at Side6 port.
Mile nervously adjusted the collar of his uniform.
Captain Blade pretended to check the data board, but kept glancing at her.
Newly recruited Lieutenant Shi Liejia looked at the bustling crowd, whistled, and exclaimed, “Is this the legendary resort? There are indeed more beauties than the rumors say~”
Yang Tai was squatting next to the customs officer, concentrating on repairing the scanner.
The light particles dancing at his fingertips caused the surrounding female staff to exclaim from time to time.
When Mile saw this scene, she bit her lip unconsciously.
At this moment, a man in a well-tailored suit pushed through the crowd and ran towards Mile: “Miss Mile! I will immediately…”
Seeing him approaching, Mile took a half step back and said in a cold tone: “Kamran, I’m here to officially break up.”
The group then moved to the Space Cafe and sat around a table for four.
Kamran gently pushed a document across the table. “This is the colonial equity your father left behind. Even if we break up…”
Brad suddenly interrupted with a serious expression: “As the captain, I suggest that Miss Mile carefully consider the issue of her personal assets.”
Shi Liejia stirred his coffee and jokingly said, “If you ask me, it would be wise to dump the nerd and find a soldier~”
Yang Tai accidentally turned the sugar jar into a crystal sculpture with light particles. He hurriedly apologized: “S-Sorry…”
Mile suddenly grabbed Yangtai’s wrist, looking at him for help: “Can you go to the bathroom with me?”
The three men were stunned as they watched the two hurriedly leave the table.
Outside the women’s restroom.
Yang Tai stood facing the wall, hesitantly saying, “This isn’t appropriate…”
Mile dragged him directly into the cleaning room and said in a low voice, “Do me a favor and pretend to be my new boyfriend.”
“What?!” Yang Tai’s ear fins exploded with blue sparks, and he hurriedly explained: “But Chapter 37 of the Kingdom of Light Regulations stipulates…”
Mile suddenly leaned closer, his eyes pleading: “Please… just five minutes.”
The surveillance footage in the cleaning room instantly turned into snow.
Brad, who was staring at the screen in the command room, was so angry that he slammed the console hard.
Back to the cafe.
Kamran pushed his glasses up, his eyes scrutinizing him. “So this is…”
Mile generously took Yangtai’s arm and said firmly: “Yes, we have registered with the Luna Ring.”
Shi Liejia’s hand trembled in surprise, and the coffee cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound: “Huh?!”
Smoke billowed from Brad’s datapad, and he persisted, “According to Article 148 of the Federal Military Code, interracial relationships require…”
Yang Tai’s light particles were out of control and randomly formed the word “HELP” in the air.
In the hotel corridor at night.
Amuro suddenly appeared and stopped Yangta who was fleeing in panic, with a gossipy look on his face: “I heard you are going to be a father?”
“That was something Mile made up!” Yangtai’s light particles exploded into fireworks, and he hurriedly explained, “She said that this way of breaking up is more thorough!”
Kai poked his head around the corner and teased, “So you guys never kissed in the engine room?”
Michael held up the recorder, looking mysterious: “The medical room surveillance shows…”
Yang was so embarrassed that he activated Ultra Invisibility directly.
On the roof garden.
Mile finally found Yangtai hiding in the flowers.
She said with some guilt: “I’m sorry, I’m too willful.”
Yang Tai’s horn-like ear fins drooped as he sighed, “You humans have such complicated emotions…”
“Actually…” Mile fiddled with the hem of her skirt, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible: “It’s not all acting.”
Suddenly, Brad’s roar and Shriek’s screams were heard in the distance – the two were arguing fiercely over who should deliver the midnight snack.
Mile couldn’t help laughing. “But maybe I’m more suitable to deal with this level of idiots than aliens?”
Yang Tai felt relieved, and his light brightened a little: “Do you want to help them call the medical robot?”
“No rush~” Mile winked mischievously, “First, tell me how the Kingdom of Light handles love triangles?”
At this time, Side6’s artificial moon slowly rose.
The gentle moonlight fell on the two of them, adding a layer of romantic soft light to this absurd night scene.
Chapter 24: Jealousy [Please add to favorites and send flowers] (Old version)
Amuro dragged Youta behind the pipeline and lowered his voice, “Are you crazy? Magiluda-senpai has only been transferred to the Luna Base for three days!”
Yangtai’s light particles exploded into a question mark above his head: “What?”
Miss Mile came out of your room this morning! Amuro gritted his teeth, “I saw it all! Her hair was a mess and she was wearing yesterday’s clothes!”
Yangtai’s ear fins turned blue instantly: “She is helping me study the characters of the Kingdom of Light! Look at this–” He took out a glowing notebook, which was densely covered with alien symbols.
Amuro narrowed his eyes. “Then why is it covered in milai and heart symbols?”
“This is… uh… an example sentence!” Yang Tai frantically closed the notebook. “It’s a sentence-making exercise like ‘Officer Mile’s heart-shaped cookies are delicious!'”
Restaurant Breakfast Time
Shi Liejia pushed the special fried egg in front of Mile: “I learned it from the chef~”
Brad happened to pass by: “According to the nutritional ratio table, eggs should be combined with vitamin C.” He put down the carefully arranged fruit and vegetable platter.
Mile looked at the next table awkwardly – Yangta was trying to use light particles to turn bread into energy crystals.
“Mr. Youta~” Mile suddenly smiled sweetly, “Would you like to try my fried eggs?”
Yangtai’s fork suddenly melted into liquid metal.
Bridge Operations Meeting
Brad tapped on the star map: “Now let’s discuss the Side 7 supply route.”
Shi Liejia suddenly raised his hand: “I suggest that Miss Mile be in charge of the connection! Last time…”
“Rejected,” Brad said firmly. “The ship’s officer needs to oversee the ammunition inventory.” He glanced meaningfully at Yang Tai, who was helping Mile adjust his headphones. “Especially… the part about alien energy weapons.”
Mile blushed as he took notes, the tip of his pen piercing the paper.
Gym · Encounter Scene
Shi Liejia was doing pull-ups, his abdominal muscles faintly visible under his vest: “Miss Mile, do you want to learn self-defense?”
Brad was just lifting dumbbells. “Article 305 of the Federal Military Code prohibits physical contact between male and female soldiers during training.”
Youta floated across the ceiling, “Excuse me, I’m looking for… uh… a space cockroach in the ventilation duct?”
Mile’s treadmill suddenly accelerated: “Ahhh——”
Three figures rushed forward at the same time and collided into a ball.
Infirmary Bandaging Time
Mile looked at the three injured men helplessly: “It’s just a scratch…”
Lieutenant Fra held back a laugh as he bandaged Brad: “Captain, how do you explain this tooth mark?”
Kai was applying medicine to Shrek: “I heard you knocked your front teeth on the captain’s belt buckle?”
Yota hid in a corner, secretly using healing rays to heal his blue eye socket – caused by Amuro accidentally hitting it with a wrench.
Late Night Observation Deck
Mile found Yangta who was absorbing the moonlight: “I’m sorry to trouble you.”
Yang Tai’s light particles formed a helpless emoticon: “(；一_一)”
“Actually…” Mile played with the ends of her hair, “I did it on purpose.”
Yang Tai almost fell out of the window: “What?!”
“Senior Majiroda told me before she left…” Milei imitated the tone of a queen, “If that stupid alien dares to peek at other Earth women, use the method I taught you.”
Yangtai’s light particles suddenly froze: “What did she teach you?!”
Mile smiled slyly: “Let you experience the horror of Earth women~”
(In the monitoring room, Brad and Shrek looked at the screen and shuddered at the same time)
The next morning meeting – Shura Field
Amuro reported expressionlessly, “…The enemy fleet’s movements are as above.”
Kai suddenly raised his hand and asked, “Will a love triangle affect the Gundam’s attack efficiency?”
The maintenance team sprayed coffee collectively.
Brad’s veins popped out: “Let’s discuss the battle plan now!”
Shi Liejia muttered quietly: “My battle plan is to marry Mile…”
Yangtai’s light particles uncontrollably formed into a giant arrow, pointing directly at himself: “Everyone! I suddenly remembered that I need to find the space cockroach!”
Mile raised her hand sweetly: “I’ll go with you~”
(The moment the conference room door closes, the roars of Brad and Shrek can be heard from inside)
Magiluda’s Newsletter
The queen in the 3D projection sneered: “I heard my little pet is very popular?”
Yang Tai stood at attention: “I have reflected deeply! This is a letter of self-criticism!” He held up a glowing manuscript of 30,000 words.
Maggieloda raised an eyebrow: “Milai is a pretty good actress… I’ll deal with you when I get back.”
After the communication was cut off, Mile poked his head around the corner and asked, “What did you say, Senior?”
Yangtai’s light particles formed a white flag pattern: “She said… she wanted to teach you a more terrifying move…”
(At the end of the corridor, the sound of Brad and Shrek crying and hugging each other can be heard from afar)
Chapter 25: Awakened Memories (Old Version)
In the Anaheim Electronics laboratory at Side 6, under the glaring fluorescent lights, Dr. Tim Ray hunched over, mechanically writing and drawing on a data tablet.
His fingers were so thin they were almost transparent, the blue veins visible beneath his pale skin.
Amuro stood at the door to the lab, his throat tight. “Father?”
The doctor said without looking up: “RX-78’s nuclear furnace parameters still need to be adjusted.”
Yota gently pressed Amuro’s trembling shoulders. “His brain has been damaged by lack of oxygen, but his memory is still there.”
In the lab’s rest area, Amuro pushed the hot coffee toward his father. “Do you remember Side 7’s yard? That cherry tree…”
The doctor stirred his coffee absentmindedly. “The speed at which cherry blossom petals fall is related to the flexibility of the MS joints…”
Yangtai suddenly stretched out his hand, and light particles condensed into a holographic image of a little boy in his palm – it was young Amuro standing on tiptoe to show his father his homemade robot.
The doctor’s stirring spoon suddenly stopped: “This… gear transmission method…”
“It’s not a gear,” Yangtai said softly, “it’s a birthday present from a son to his father.”
Amuro turned his face away abruptly, his fists clenched white on his knees.
Late at night on the laboratory rooftop, Yangta found Amuro who was enjoying the breeze alone: “Would you like to hear the story of the Land of Light?”
“I’m not in the mood.” Amuro’s voice was hoarse. “He couldn’t even recognize my mother’s photo.”
Yang Tai’s light particles formed the silhouettes of a pair of Ultraman father and son in the air: “In our place, there is a warrior who was willing to be swallowed by a black hole for 30,000 years in order to save his son.”
Amuro looked up. “…What happened next?”
“The son spent three hundred years inventing the time-reversal technology to save his father.” Yangtai’s eyes rippled. “Now they always argue about which beam technique is cooler.”
Amuro’s mouth twitched slightly. “…Stupid alien.”
The next morning, a breakthrough occurred. The doctor suddenly grabbed Yangta, who was adjusting the instrument and asked, “That toy… is the third joint of the left arm magnetically levitated?”
Yangtai’s light particles danced happily: “Do you remember? When Amuro was seven years old, he took apart your electric shaver…”
“Nonsense!” The doctor suddenly yelled in the tone he used to scold his son, then froze, “I… I just…”
The toolbox in Amuro’s hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
In the rehabilitation training room, Yangtai guides the doctor to touch the memory light ball: “This is the image of Amuro’s first time piloting the Gundam.”
In the holographic image, the boy awkwardly manipulated the joystick. The doctor’s fingertips passed through the image: “The operating system… should be changed to tactile feedback…”
“Dad!” Amuro suddenly grabbed his father’s hand. “At that time, all I could think of was… if only you were here.”
The doctor’s cloudy eyes gradually focused: “Amuro… your pilot suit… the cuff is torn…”
The seventeen-year-old boy cried like a seven-year-old, burying his face in his father’s thin shoulders.
At the spaceport at the moment of farewell, Dr. Tim, who had regained his composure, straightened his son’s collar and said, “Next time you come back… I’ll show you the new cockpit design.”
Amuro’s voice was muffled: “Don’t stay up all night drinking twelve cups of coffee again.”
“Mr. Ultraman.” The doctor suddenly bowed to Youta, “Please take good care of this troublesome child.”
Yang Tai’s light particles formed an OK sign: “Don’t worry, I will watch him eat well.”
Amuro protested with red eyes, “Hey!”
The way the father and son laughed at the same time was just like the old times in the memory ball.
On the White Trojan Corridor on the way back, Mile looked at Amuro humming in surprise: “The pizza in Side 6 is so delicious?”
Yang Tai floated across the ceiling: “Something better than pizza~”
Amuro kicked the fire extinguisher and said, “Stop talking nonsense!”
In the monitoring room, Brad looked at the rare smiling face on the screen and silently deleted the report of abnormal psychological assessment.
Doctor’s Notebook
The latest page reads:
1. Light Particle Emotional Resonance (Further Research Required)
2. My son looks as ugly when he cries as he did when he was a child.
3. Tell Amuro…I’ve always been proud of him.
The family photo in the insert is shining in the artificial sunlight of Side6.
Chapter 26: Encounter of the Stars [Please add to favorites and send flowers] (Old version)
Dozle of Zeon sends the Consken force to attack the White Trojan Horse.
But with the cooperation of Amuro and the male protagonist, they eliminated the opponent’s 12 large demon machines in less than three minutes.
Afterwards, Amuro and the male protagonist met a girl named Lala in SIDE6.
The glow of artificial dusk streamed through the dome.
Amuro was adjusting the telescope when he suddenly frowned. “That girl… has she been watching us?”
Yangtai followed his gaze—the purple-haired girl was floating quietly five meters in the air, her skirt stretching out like a jellyfish.
Her eyes reflected the artificial galaxy, but without focus.
“She’s not looking.” Yangtai’s light particles trembled slightly, “She’s sensing us.”
The girl landed lightly in front of them: “Your light… is very special.”
Her voice seemed to carry through the waves. “Especially the silver one. It looks like a neutron star in a supernova remnant.”
Amuro instinctively reached for the beam saber at his waist. “Are you from Zeon?”
“Lara Sin.” A small nebula projection appeared from her fingertips. “Lord Char said that if you meet a luminous gentleman, you should bring a message.”
Youta held Amuro’s wrist and said, “What did you say?”
“Humans in the Universal Century have finally begun to evolve.” Lala’s eyes glowed a pale gold. “But you… don’t seem to be a product of evolution in this universe?”
Yang Tai’s light particles formed a double helix structure: “In our M78 nebula, this ability is called ‘Ultra Psychic Power’.”
Lala curiously touched the floating light particles: “More direct than brain quantum waves… It’s like speaking with starlight.”
Amuro stared at his palm. “That’s why I can suddenly predict the enemy’s movements… because…”
“The new humans are awakening.” Lala gently tapped his forehead, “But your talents are bound by war.”
Yang Tai suddenly put their hands together and said, “Try to resonate with each other.”
(Amuro’s pupils suddenly contracted, as if he saw billions of stars flowing in his consciousness)
Medicine bottles and brainwave monitors filled the corner, and on the wall was a photo of Char and the girl.
Amuro frowned: “These drugs…”
“The research institute’s ‘catalyst.'” Lala smiled wryly, showing the needle marks on her arm. “They say it can speed up evolution.”
Yangtai’s light particles suddenly turned red in anger: “This is poison! A true new human should…”
Lala suddenly grabbed his wrist and said, “Please teach us, just like the Land of Light guides the young Ultra Warriors.”
(Amuro’s NT ability was clearly felt at this moment – the moment the two of them touched, a torrent of knowledge on a cosmic scale poured into Lala’s mind.)
The three of them floated in a zero-gravity area.
A nebula-like band of light surrounded Yang Tai’s body: “Perception is not done with the brain, but with this place.”
He tapped his heart.
Lala closed her eyes and concentrated, and a faint light gradually appeared at her fingertips.
Amuro suddenly clutched his head in agony, “Too many noises… the Zeon fleet… the Federation wounded…”
“Filter them.” Yangtai injected the light particles into Amuro’s temple, “like adjusting the channels on a radio.”
(In the distance, the patrolling Zeon soldiers suddenly experienced a collective headache—they sensed a terrifying mental pressure.)
Lala pinned a metal flower on Youta’s chest: “Lord Char will be disappointed in me… I have found something more important than hatred.”
Amuro awkwardly handed over the datapad. “Here’s my communication code… If those researchers…”
The girl suddenly floated up and kissed both of them on the forehead: “When the Milky Way’s arm rotates to the position of Orion, we will meet again.”
(The way she disappeared was like quantum collapse, and even the surveillance cameras were unable to capture her trajectory)
Amuro stared at his glowing palm. “I can now… sense Mie particle fluctuations three light-seconds away.”
Yangtai was analyzing the metal flower: “Lala helped you remove the barrier in your brain. But…”
He suddenly became serious, “Don’t try to imitate her and use drugs to catalyze her abilities.”
Suddenly, an alarm sounded from the bridge – radar showed that the Zeon fleet was approaching.
Amuro smiled. “Want to verify the results of our special training? I bet we can finish this fight in five minutes.”
(Captain Brad, standing in front of the surveillance screen, holds his forehead with his hand: “Why are these two guys suddenly laughing so creepily…”)
Chapter 27 : Solomon’s Redemption
Deep in the universe, Big Zam’s giant particle cannon tore through the darkness.
The blazing blue light swept across the entire battlefield like a scythe of death.
The wreckage of the Federation fleet floated in the vacuum.
There was still a lingering flame on the damaged hull.
Burning silently in the silent universe, like cold tombstones, telling the cruelty of war.
Amuro piloted the Gundam, nimbly weaving through the dense rain of beams.
The aircraft’s thrusters ejected bright tail flames, drawing brilliant trails behind it.
Captain Blade’s anxious roar came from the communication channel: “Yota! Can you take down that mobile fortress?”
There was undisguised worry and urgency in his voice.
The flashing alarm lights in the bridge reflected on his tense face.
Hovering outside the bridge of the white Trojan ship, Youta stared silently at the Great Zam in the distance.
His eyes were deep and complex, and he shook his head slightly: “That’s not a fortress… It’s a person who is prepared to die.”
There was a barely perceptible sigh in his words, as if he could see through the soul hidden beneath the steel armor.
In the cockpit of the Big Zam, Dozle Zabi wiped the blood that continued to ooze from his forehead.
The impact of the battle left his uniform disheveled and his face covered with scars.
He gripped the joystick tightly and shouted into the communicator: “Notify the White Trojan Horse! In the name of General Solomon -“
“Lord Dozle!” Yota’s voice came directly into the cockpit without warning, his tone calm but every word weighted. “Your daughter just learned to call you daddy, right?”
This sentence was like a heavy hammer, causing the giant MA’s movement to pause for 0.3 seconds.
Dozle’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his daughter’s lovely face instantly appeared in his mind.
Yota quickly transformed into Ultraman, and the dazzling light illuminated the surrounding universe.
He crossed his arms and a golden barrier unfolded in front of him.
Steadily block Big Zam’s deadly artillery fire.
The shock wave generated by the violent energy collision caused the surrounding debris and wreckage to fly everywhere.
Amuro shouted excitedly into the communicator: “Get out of the way! He killed so many of our companions!”
His voice trembled with anger, and the Gundam’s weapon was already aimed at Big Zam.
“Amuro,” Youta’s voice echoed through the mental plane with soothing power, “look into his memories.”
In an instant, countless images flooded into Amuro’s consciousness.
The baby babbling in the cradle is Dozle’s daughter.
The wife lying on the sickbed was weak but smiling gently, her eyes full of concern for her husband.
There was also a little girl crying and grabbing Dozle’s hand holding her military uniform, watching her father go to the battlefield reluctantly.
In the spiritual space, Dozle’s shadow pointed a gun at Youta, his eyes full of anger and vigilance: “Despicable! Using your family to shake the determination of the soldiers!”
There was anger and embarrassment in his voice, as if his soft spot had been touched.
Amuro’s projection stood in the middle, his eyes sharp. “Then why are your hands shaking?”
Yōta slowly stepped forward, gently pressing down on Dozle’s weapon, his tone calm but firm, “Your wife is undergoing surgery at the hospital in Side 3… There’s a family photo by her bedside.”
The gun in Dozle’s hand gradually turned into a point of light and dissipated.
His voice was filled with shock and confusion: “…How do you even know this?”
“Because your daughter makes a wish to the ‘Silver Star Giant’ every day.”
On the real battlefield, Big Zam suddenly turned the gun around.
Accurately destroyed the remnants of Zeon who were attacking the White Trojan Horse.
Dozle’s deep voice rang out over the public channel: “Zeon remnants, listen up! Cease fire and retreat immediately! This is… the final order!”
There was a hint of relief in his voice, as if he had made some important decision.
Amuro watched in shock as the enemy ships activated their warp gear and vanished into the starry sky. “What is he doing…?”
Yangtai untransformed and landed steadily on the deck of the white wooden horse, his tone calm, “Father’s choice.”
In the medical cabin after the battle, Dozle took off his military cap and lay on the hospital bed, his eyes filled with fatigue and confusion: “Why don’t you kill me?”
Mile, who was giving him an IV, couldn’t help but chuckle, “Because some alien couldn’t stand seeing children cry.”
Her words were full of sarcasm but also understanding.
Yang Tai condensed the light particles into a holographic frame, which displayed the scene of a successful operation. “The operation was successful. Would you like to see the video of your wife waking up?”
The general, who was always as strong as steel, suddenly covered his eyes with his hands and choked up: “…Asshole”
In the hospital on Side 3, a little girl excitedly pointed at the shooting star outside the window, her eyes twinkling: “Mom, look! It’s a giant silver star!”
Mrs. Zabi, who was recovering, looked in the direction of her daughter’s finger.
Deep in the distant starry sky, a federal transport ship is slowly sailing away.
The burly figure was looming by the porthole.
And in the light particle photo frame on the bedside, a special family photo was added at some point.
It was signed with Otto’s signature and read “Temporarily on vacation”, as if expressing the warmth and hope of this special moment.
Chapter 28: Pioneers of Evolution (Old Version)
Inside the white wooden horse’s training cabin.
Amuro slammed his fist down on the simulator console. “Another 0.5 seconds late!”
A red warning that the Gundam was destroyed immediately popped up on the holographic screen.
Yang Tai floated behind him, the light particles on his fingertips leaving afterimages in the air. “It’s not that your body is slow, it’s that your nerve conduction has surpassed mechanical reaction.”
Amuro pulled off his sweaty headband. “What do you mean?”
“To put it simply—” Yang Tai suddenly flashed to the other end of the room, “Do my movements look like slow motion to you now?”
In the hangar late at night.
The federal technical officer stared in amazement as Yang Tai adjusted the parameters of the nuclear furnace with his bare hands: “Wait! That pressure valve requires a special tool…”
Before he finished speaking, light particles seeped into the gaps in the machine, and the precision gear set reorganized itself.
Without even looking up, Youta said, “In M78, we call this the ‘Light Preparation Technique’.”
Amuro, crouching in the cockpit as he was wiring, couldn’t help but tease, “So you Ultramen are also moonlighting as mechanics?”
“No,” Yang Tai’s beam of light shot along the cable into the main control system, “We call those who can’t repair spacecraft ‘civilians’.”
Brad behind the monitoring screen silently crossed out the “Advanced Tool Set” on the shopping list.
In the outer space three hundred meters outside the white Trojan horse.
Yangta tied Amuro’s waist with a light rope: “Today, let’s try to sense the enemy without using our eyes.”
“Are you crazy?” Amuro grabbed the safety rope tightly, “I’m not a sonar…”
Yang Tai suddenly snapped his fingers and shattered the meteorite floating in the distance: “Which direction did the fragments fly just now?”
“Three at ten o’clock, five o’clock…” Amuro froze, “Wait, how would I know with my eyes closed?”
“Because your brain quantum waves are scanning space.” Yangtai’s light particles formed a neural network diagram. “The instinct of the new human.”
In the cafeteria.
Mile pushed the specially prepared nutritious meal in front of Amuro. “I heard you can use a spoon to predict what snacks Kai has hidden?”
Amuro’s fork dangled in the air. “…Now I can even calculate how often your skirt sways when you walk.”
Yangtai’s light particles spelled out a formula on the dining table: “This is the Ultra Academy’s perception calculation formula, δ=(ψ×Ω)÷√γ…”
Lieutenant Shi Liejia came over and said, “Can you tell me what type of person Miss Mile likes…”
Before he could finish his words, Brad’s tactical board hit him on the back of the head accurately.
In simulated battle.
Twenty Zeon mobile suit projections attacked simultaneously.
Amuro’s Gundam shuttled through the rain of bullets as if it could foresee the future.
The maintenance team leaned over the observation windows and exclaimed, “That pirouette… the joints can’t handle it!”
Suddenly, the Gundam charged forward at a trajectory that defied the laws of physics, its beam saber piercing through all the enemy aircraft projections simultaneously.
Yang Tai chuckled on the communication channel: “Do you believe it now?”
Amuro gasped and looked at his shaking hands. “Is this really something a human can do…?”
“Technically,” Yang Tai flashed to the cockpit, “it’s an evolving human.”
Inside the Federal Research Institute.
Dr. Hu pushed up his glasses and explained, “We’ve developed a new telepathic framework based on light particle technology…”
Amuro touched the blue cockpit wall. “Is this thing resonating?”
Yang Tai pressed his palm on the armor: “It responds to your brain waves more filially than your own son.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Gundam glowed with rainbow light, and its weapon system automatically deployed and aimed at the meteorite belt outside the star map.
Dr. Hu’s glasses slid down to the tip of his nose. “Damn it! I haven’t even installed the targeting module yet…”
“It’s not a machine.” Yangtai’s light particles danced on the control console. “It’s Amuro’s subconscious extending through the body.”
Yangtai projects Amuro’s spirit into the parallel dimension of the Land of Light’s training space: “Time flows ten times slower here than in reality.”
Countless glowing tracks extend in the void.
Amuro’s Gundam Phantom shuttles through it: “I can see the results of battles in six future timelines at the same time… This is crazy!”
“Remember this feeling.” Yangtai’s main body maintained the bridge of light in the reality cabin. “When you can enter this state on your own…”
The alarm suddenly sounded, and Amuro regained consciousness instantly.
Brad’s voice came from the loudspeaker: “Zeon remnants are attacking the supply line! Amuro, it’s time to review the results of the training.”
Before attacking.
Yangtai compressed the light particles into an earring shape and attached it to Amuro’s earlobe: “If you encounter danger, crush it and it will deploy an absolute defensive barrier.”
Amuro raised an eyebrow: “You Ultramen all love giving tokens of love? Senior Magiluda also has one…”
“That’s the engagement ring I made using technology from the Land of Light… Wait, how did you know?!”
The Gundam hatch closed amid Yōta’s exclamation, and the maintenance team burst into laughter.
Chapter 29: The Soul Resonance Gundam Arc Ends [Please add to favorites and send flowers] (Old Version)
In the dark depths of the universe, war spreads like purgatory.
Elmes’s floaters transformed into a swarm of shimmering silver butterflies, densely surrounding the Gundam. The hum of metal clashing echoed in the vacuum.
Lala’s voice rang softly but clearly in Amuro’s mind: “Why… do you have to fight to this extent?”
There was a deep sadness in her tone, as if it could penetrate the mecha and hit the soul.
Amuro gritted his teeth and commanded the Gundam to launch a fierce counterattack. His beam saber blazed like a blazing meteor, instantly piercing the three cannons. Sparks flew across the universe in a dazzling arc. “I should ask Char about that!”
His voice was filled with anger and unwillingness. The alarms in the cockpit sounded one after another, reflecting his determined and tired face.
In the distance, Char’s red warrior, like a burning demon, suddenly charged forward at an unusual angle, his beam naginata emitting a cold glow as it pierced the Gundam’s cockpit.
Char’s hateful roar exploded across the communication channel: “Amuro Ray! You stole the power that does not belong to humans!”
Furious flames spurted out from the tail of his machine, just like the fire of revenge burning in his heart.
Yangtai’s Ultra Telekinesis was like an invisible giant hand, forcibly dragging the four people into a mysterious shared consciousness space.
It’s a chaotic place, yet it seems to be able to see into everyone’s deepest secrets.
Char’s shadowy figure held a laser gun and pointed a fierce look at Amuro: “The Newtypes’ abilities are not meant to serve the Federation!”
A strong dark aura surrounded him, which was the embodiment of hatred and pain.
Lala hurriedly stood between the two men, her figure emitting a gentle light: “Lord Char, your heart is blinded by hatred.”
Her voice was gentle yet firm, trying to wake up Char, who was blinded by revenge.
“Shut up!” Char’s spirit body violently fluctuated, and the surrounding space was distorted. “The Zabi family must pay with blood!”
His past surged like a raging tide in this space of consciousness. The memories of betrayal and hurt filled his voice with despair and madness.
Yang Tai instantly appeared in front of Xia Ya, and gently pressed his palm on his chest. A soft light spread from his palm: “What is this warmth?”
In an instant, countless fragments of memory exploded like fireworks – the young Char curled up in the corner, and it was the night when Lala gently stayed by his side and comforted him.
The long-lost joy that welled up in my heart when I met my sister Sera again after a long separation.
There’s even a heroic scene where Amuro bravely saves a Zeon child in Side 6 despite the danger.
These precious memories, buried deep in hatred, now shine like stars, illuminating Char’s dark heart.
The situation on the real battlefield suddenly took a turn for the worse.
The moment the mental connection was suddenly broken, Char’s warriors attacked like wild beasts out of control.
At the critical moment, Elmes suddenly knocked the Gundam away like a flash of white lightning.
The beam saber mercilessly pierced through Elmis’ cockpit. After the dazzling light, there was endless silence.
“Lala!!” Char’s heart-wrenching scream, accompanied by a powerful mental shock wave, swept across the entire battlefield like a tsunami.
His red warrior spun madly in the universe like a wounded beast.
Amuro sat in the cockpit of the Gundam, staring blankly at his trembling joystick, muttering to himself, “I… I didn’t think…”
His voice was filled with confusion and regret, and the war around him seemed to become blurred at this moment.
On the deck of the White Trojan Horse, Youta returned to his human form, his eyes filled with anger and pain. He slapped Amuro to the ground with a fierce slap: “Are you awake?!”
The slap, filled with a feeling of disappointment, resounded throughout the entire deck.
Amuro covered his face, his eyes widened as he looked at Youta in shock: “My father never hit me!”
There was a sense of grievance in his words, but more of confusion.
Yang Tai grabbed his collar in anger and pointed his finger at the burning wreckage of the colony satellite outside the porthole. Flames shot up into the sky and countless debris drifted in the universe. “That’s because Dr. Tim knows that weapons should be aimed at the real enemy!”
Yota’s voice trembled with emotion, “Look at all those children who lost their parents in the war! Do you want them to become the next Char?!”
His questions struck Amuro’s heart like a hammer, forcing him to face the cruel truth of war.
Char held the wreckage of the cockpit that no longer existed in a daze, tears floating in the weightless environment, and his cries echoed in the silent universe.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind: “Master Char…”
He was shocked and turned back suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.
Lala stood beside Yangtai intact, with a faint sacred halo surrounding her, like an angel descending to the earth.
“Ultra Telekinesis.” Yangtai’s light particles quickly formed a detailed explanatory diagram in space. “I transferred her 0.3 seconds in advance.”
His voice was calm and steady, but it brought hope to the desperate Char.
Lala walked forward slowly, gently holding Char’s trembling hand, her eyes gentle but firm: “Do you understand now? Revenge will only…”
Her words were like a gurgling stream, nourishing Char’s dry heart.
“…Create more monsters like me.” Char’s mask fell off with a snap, revealing the tear marks on his face that he had never shown before.
At this moment, the ice in his heart finally began to melt.
Yangtai’s Ultra form slowly unfolded a huge projection in the universe, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire battlefield.
The full-band broadcast is clearly transmitted to every machine:
“On December 31, UC0079, I declare in the name of the warriors of the Kingdom of Light—”
His voice is like a huge bell, resounding in every corner of the universe.
“The war between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon has officially ended.”
With this solemn declaration, the flames of war gradually subsided, and countless soldiers climbed out of the broken cockpits. They looked up at the light of peace blooming in the hands of the silver giant, with hope shining in their eyes.
In the starlight garden built by Yang Tai with his powerful strength, soft starlight is sprinkled in every corner, like a dream.
Amuro awkwardly extended his hand to Char, a look of unnaturalness in his eyes: “Next time we meet…”
“I’ll teach you a lesson with MS combat.” Char slapped his hand away proudly, but then turned to Youta and said seriously, “Take good care of my sister.”
His words carried the concern and instructions of an elder brother.
Lala smiled and put the three people’s hands together. Her smile was warm and bright. “When mankind truly steps into the universe…”
The three of them said in unison: “Let us witness it again.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the time capsule formed by the condensation of light particles slowly sank into the earth’s atmosphere. Under the shining of the morning sun, it turned into a dazzling meteor, as if it was an expectation and blessing for a better future, illuminating the sky of the universe.
Chapter 30: Pacific Rim [Seeking Collection and Flowers] (Old Version)
At that time, Raleigh Beckett was just an ordinary pilot of the legendary mecha “Danger Wanderer”, 23 years old, with rich combat experience.
Luo Li was taken care of by his brother Yang Xi since he was a child. The two brothers studied together at the Hunter Academy, achieved excellent results, and later graduated from the Hunter Academy together.
They piloted the Danger Ranger to defend the Alaskan coast and experienced four combat missions from 2017 to 2020.
In an actual combat, they deliberately lured the Level 3 monster Shanlan into Long Beach, Los Angeles, and strangled it with a crane cable.
However, in 2020, Raleigh violated orders and went to the open sea to rescue fishing boats. He encountered the third-level monster Scythe Head. His brother Yang Xi was killed in the battle and the “Wanderer” mecha was destroyed.
Unable to bear the pain and self-blame of losing his brother, Raleigh left the mecha unit and went to work at a construction site.
Originally, under the guidance of the mecha unit marshal Stek, Raleigh rejoined the “Skua” mecha hunter unit.
In the final battle of Hong Kong in 2025, Raleigh and Mori Mako piloted the “Danger Wanderer” to kill two Level 4 monsters, saving Hong Kong and the “Hunter Project”.
Finally, he and Mako Mori entered the wormhole with a nuclear bomb, blew up the wormhole, and successfully saved the earth.
However, the unexpected journey of Ultraman Yangtai, the human form of the tail-end car, changed the story a little.
-Dividing line—
Heavy snow is falling, covering construction sites along Alaska’s coast with thick drifts of snow.
Raleigh Beckett wrapped himself tightly in his worn cotton jacket, and the white breath he exhaled quickly condensed in the cold air.
He dragged his weary feet across the construction site, ready to end the day’s meaningless work of building the wall.
“Another one frozen to death, what a damn world!” Raleigh cursed under his breath and found a black-haired Asian youth lying in the snow, his clothes ragged and his face as pale as paper.
He squatted down and used his fingers to feel the young man’s breath – faint but real.
Raleigh sighed and began digging a snow pit with his bare hands.
Rather than letting this poor man lie dead in the wilderness, it is better to give him a decent resting place.
Just as Raleigh was about to move the young man into the snow pit, the tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
“Where am I?” Yang Tai asked weakly, his voice hoarse.
“Oh my God! You’re still alive!” Raleigh was so scared that he sat down on the snow and patted Yangtai’s cheek. “Hey, wake up! You almost froze to death, you know?”
Yang Tai looked around in confusion, snowflakes falling on his eyelashes. Luo Li took off his coat and wrapped it around him. “Don’t worry about where you are, you need to get warm.”
“Thank you…” Yang Tai took the clothes tremblingly, “Excuse me, where is this?”
“Alaska, the Wall of Life construction site.” Raleigh frowned as he looked at the strange young man. “Who are you? Why are you lying in the snow?”
Yang Tai took a deep breath, as if he was making up his mind: “I am a guard member of the Kingdom of Light, Ultraman, my name is Yang Tai.”
Rolly’s expression froze. He reached out and touched Youta’s forehead. “You don’t have a fever… You said you were Ultraman from the Land of Light?” He chuckled dryly. “Hey, man, I’ve only seen alien monsters, but never aliens. Where’s your home?”
“M78 Nebula, the Kingdom of Light.” Yang Tai answered seriously.
“The Universe?” Raleigh shook his head, convinced that the young man either had a brain freeze or was mentally ill.
“Listen, I’m going to take you to warm up first and get you something to eat. Then…we’ll find a way to contact your family.”
Luo Li helped Yang Tai to his feet, and the two of them walked towards the shed, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Yang Tai’s body was surprisingly light, as if it had no weight, which made Luo Li feel a little puzzled.
In the shed, Raleigh poured a cup of hot coffee and handed it to Yangta, “Drink it, it will make you feel better.”
Yang Tai took the cup, and his fingers inadvertently emitted a faint fluorescent light, illuminating the dim shed. Luo Li’s eyes widened, “Wait, what was that just now…”
Yota realized his mistake and hastily put the cup down, “Sorry, I’m not fully used to controlling the energy in this form yet.”
Raleigh took a step back, his hand unconsciously reaching for the shovel in the corner. “What the hell are you?”
“I told you, I’m Ultraman.” Yang Tai sighed and raised his hand. A small ball of light condensed in his palm. “Look, this is my light energy.”
Luo Li stared at the soft light in amazement, which illuminated Yang Tai’s tired but determined face. At this moment, he began to believe that the young man in front of him might not really be human.
“Okay, let’s assume… just assume what you said is true,” Raleigh said cautiously, “why would an Ultraman appear in the snow in Alaska?”
Yangtai’s ball of light went out, and he looked a little depressed: “I encountered space turbulence while on patrol, and woke up lying here. I also lost my transformation device, and now I can’t return to Ultraman form.”
Raleigh nodded thoughtfully.
Five years ago, if someone had told him that aliens existed, he would have burst out laughing.
But after experiencing the monster attack and his brother’s sacrifice, his understanding of the universe has been completely overturned.
Chapter 31: This is my transformation device [Please collect and give flowers] (Old version)
Yang Tai held the steaming bowl of instant noodles and stirred the noodles with a plastic fork.
The biting cold wind from Alaska seeped in through the cracks in the shed.
But compared to the situation of lying in the snow and waiting to die a few days ago, this is already heaven.
“By the way, why are you repairing the wall?” Yang Tai blew on the noodles and looked up to ask Rory who was organizing the tools.
“Of course it’s to resist monsters. Don’t you even know that?” Raleigh answered without raising his head.
“Monster?” Yangtai’s fork stopped in mid-air.
“You have monsters here too?”
Raleigh straightened up and looked at Youta as if he were an alien—even though technically, Youta was an alien.
“Nonsense, it’s everywhere now.”
“Ever since that damn wormhole appeared in 2013, those monsters called Kaiju have been everywhere.”
Yangtai put down the instant noodles and his expression became serious.
“Can you tell me more about it?”
Rowley sighed, sitting down across from Youta and picking up his coffee cup.
“In 2013, a mysterious wormhole appeared on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and huge monsters kept pouring out of it.”
He tapped his fingers on the rim of the cup.
“We call them Kaiju beasts. They are huge and extremely destructive.”
“They came ashore on the Pacific coast, destroyed cities, and killed millions of people.”
“Then how do you deal with it?” Yang Tai asked.
“It started with conventional troops, missiles, tanks, and fighter jets.” Raleigh smiled bitterly.
“It’s useless.”
“Then humans united and developed giant mecha warriors, which we called Mecha Hunters.”
“Each mecha requires two pilots to operate it together through synaesthesia technology.”
At this point, Raleigh’s voice trembled slightly.
“My brother Yancy and I served on the Alaskan Front flying Hazard Rangers.”
Yota keenly noticed the pain that flickered in Raleigh’s eyes when he mentioned his brother.
“Are you a mecha pilot?” he asked softly.
“It used to be.” Raleigh took a big gulp of coffee, as if to wash away some memories.
Yota looked around at the massive concrete wall being built in the distance.
“Then if the mechas are used to defend against monsters, why are you building a wall now?”
Raleigh shrugged.
“It’s probably due to funding. Giant mechas are too expensive.”
“The money spent on building one mecha can build dozens of kilometers of wall.”
“Politicians think this is more economical,” he said with sarcasm in his tone.
Yang Tai walked to the door of the shed, looked at the gray wall that was more than five meters high, and shook his head.
“But I don’t think the high walls you built can keep out monsters.”
“Hey, new guy!” A rough voice interrupted their conversation.
A burly worker with a stubble on his face walked into the shed and looked at Yang Tai curiously.
“Who is this? Raleigh.”
“A refugee, almost froze to death.” Raleigh answered briefly.
“Give him something to eat.”
The worker nodded and took out a cigarette box from his pocket.
Just as he bent down to light a cigarette, Yangtai’s eyes suddenly lit up – the pendant hanging around his co-worker’s neck was exactly the Ultra Transformer he had lost!
“Wait!” Yang Tai pointed at his co-worker’s chest excitedly.
“That pendant, where did you get it?”
The worker took out the silver-red metal ornament in confusion.
“This? I bought it at the flea market last month. What’s wrong with it?”
Yang Tai took a deep breath.
“That’s a very important item of mine. It has special meaning to me.”
“Can you give it back to me? I’m willing to exchange it for anything.”
The coworker looked at Yangtai suspiciously, then at Luo Li.
Raleigh stepped forward.
“Jack, that thing is really important to him.”
“For my sake, give it to him. I’ll take your night shift next week.”
Jack hesitated for a moment, then finally took off the necklace.
“Well, it only cost me twenty bucks anyway.”
He tossed the Transformer to Youta.
“But you have to tell me what this thing is that’s worth so much.”
Yangtai caught the transformation device and gently ran his fingers over the surface. The silver-red metal gleamed faintly in the light.
“This is… a talisman passed down from my family.” He made up an excuse and carefully put the transformation device around his neck.
Jack shrugged and left the shed.
Raleigh closed the door and lowered his voice.
“Is this the…transformer you were talking about?”
Youta nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
“With this, I can return to Ultraman form.”
Raleigh looked Yangta’s thin figure up and down.
“You want to join the construction team?” Raleigh raised his eyebrows.
“Your small size won’t do it, right?”
Yang Tai smiled and walked over to the cement bags piled in the corner.
The standard weight of each bag of cement is 50 kilograms, and it usually requires two workers to carry it together.
Yangtai grabbed the handle of a bag of cement with one hand and lifted it above his head easily, just like lifting a bag of cotton.
“Oh my god…” Raleigh muttered.
“What on earth are you made of?”
“The plasma spark energy of the Kingdom of Light.” Yang Tai put down the cement bag without blushing or breathing heavily.
“Now do you think I can do this job?”
Raleigh shook his head, surprised and amused.
“I have to take you to see the foreman.”
Foreman Mike is a veteran in his sixties who has a prosthetic left leg due to a monster attack.
After listening to Raleigh’s introduction and seeing Yang Tai lift a generator with one hand, he stamped the employment contract without hesitation.
“Welcome to the Wall of Life Project, kid.” Mike patted Yangtai’s shoulder.
“I don’t know where your extraordinary strength comes from, but here, anyone who can work is a good worker.”
In this way, Yangtai officially became a member of the construction team.
Over the next few days, he worked with other workers during the day to move building materials and pour concrete.
At night, I squeezed into the small shed with Raleigh to learn more about the world.
Chapter 32: Wall of Life [Please add to favorites and send flowers] (Old version)
The cold wind was howling. The top of the high wall was fifty meters above the ground, and the biting wind could almost blow people over.
Raleigh Beckett held on to the safety rope tightly, and the steel frame under his feet swayed slightly in the wind.
He gritted his teeth and dragged a heavy piece of metal toward the weld.
Yangtai stood beside him, his movements much steadier than his, as if gravity had no effect on him.
“This damn place is not a job for human beings…” Raleigh panted and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Yang Tai looked up at the gray horizon in the distance, frowning slightly. “You humans clearly have mechas to fight against monsters, but you choose to defend yourself in this way?”
Raleigh smiled bitterly, “I told you, mechas are too expensive. The government would rather spend the money on this wall.”
“But can this wall really stop the monsters? I have seen countless civilizations in the universe, and passive defense has never been the final answer.” Yang Tai shook his head.
Just as Raleigh was about to retort, the steel frame beneath his feet suddenly shook!
“Crack!” The sharp sound of metal breaking rang out, and the support plate under Luo Li’s feet suddenly collapsed! His body instantly lost balance and tilted outward!
“Rory!” Yang Tai’s pupils shrank, and he stretched out his hand like lightning and grabbed Rory’s wrist!
“Ah!” Rory was dangling in mid-air, a fifty-meter drop below him. A fall would surely kill him. His safety rope had snapped in the previous break, and the only thing holding him up was Yangtai’s seemingly frail, yet iron-like, hand.
“Hold on to me!” Yang Tai growled, tensed his arm muscles, and pulled Rory up little by little.
Luo Li scrambled back to the steel frame, his heart pounding and his face pale. He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. “Damn it… I almost died here…”
Yang Tai squatted down and checked his condition: “Are you okay?”
Luo Li looked up, staring into Youta’s eyes, and was silent for a few seconds before he slowly said, “…Thank you.”
Yang Tai just smiled faintly: “It’s just a piece of cake.”
Luo Li stared at his arm, then looked down at the bottomless wall. He couldn’t help but ask, “You just… pulled me up with one hand? That’s the weight of a grown man, plus the impact of falling…”
Yang Tai shrugged, “Just a little more strength.”
Luo Li was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed softly: “Damn, I almost forgot you were an alien.”
Yang Tai also smiled: “It seems that I hid it well?”
At this moment, the foreman’s roar came from below: “Hey! Up there! What’s going on?!”
Raleigh leaned down and shouted, “The steel frame broke! It almost cost me my life!”
“Damn it!” the foreman cursed. “Get down here! We can’t do this job today!”
Luo Li and Yang Tai climbed down the high wall along the safety ladder. After landing, Luo Li’s legs were still a little weak.
He patted Yang Tai’s shoulder and said, “Come on, I’ll buy you a drink as a thank you gift.”
Yang Tai raised an eyebrow: “You Earthlings’ way of thanking others is alcohol?”
Raleigh grinned, “The most effective way.”
The two of them arrived at a run-down tavern near the construction site. Under the dim light, several workers were drinking cheap beer and complaining about the hardships of life. Rowley ordered two whiskeys and pushed one toward Yangta.
“So,” Rory took a sip of his drink, “you said before that you were part of the Space Guard? So what do you guys usually do?”
Yang Tai picked up the wine glass, sniffed it, and frowned. “We maintain peace in the universe, stop invaders, and protect weak civilizations.” He tried to drink a sip, and immediately choked and coughed. “…This stuff is really hard to drink.”
Luo Li laughed: “First time drinking?”
Yang Tai put down the cup helplessly: “There is no such drink in the Kingdom of Light.”
Rowley shook his head and poured himself another drink. “Sounds like you guys are pretty busy.”
“Indeed.” Yang Tai nodded, “But at least we took the initiative to attack instead of hiding behind the wall and waiting for the enemy to come to us.”
Luo Li’s smile faded. He stared at the wine glass and was silent for a while: “…You know what? I used to think so too.”
Youta looked at him, “You’re a mecha pilot, right?”
Raleigh tapped his fingers on his wine glass. “I used to. My brother Yancy and I flew Danger Rangers together and fought in four battles on the Alaskan Line.”
“Where is your brother?” Yang Tai asked.
Luo Li’s hand paused, his eyes darkening: “…dead.”
Yang Tai said nothing, just waited quietly for him to continue.
Raleigh took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice, “Five years ago, we received an order to intercept a Level 3 monster, the Scythehead. But just before we could attack, a fishing boat sent out a distress signal, and they were trapped in the monster’s path.”
His fists clenched slightly. “Command ordered us to proceed according to the plan and ignore the fishing boat. But I… I disobeyed orders and insisted on rescuing the people first.”
Yang Tai’s eyes moved slightly: “You saved them?”
Luo Li smiled bitterly. “We saved the fishing boat, but at the cost of my brother’s life. The sickle head was stronger than we expected. It destroyed the mecha’s right arm and went straight through the cockpit…Yang Xi died on the spot.”
The noisy sounds in the tavern seemed to fade away, leaving only Raleigh’s heavy breathing.
Yang Tai was silent for a moment, then slowly said: “…You shouldn’t blame yourself for this.”
Luo Li looked up suddenly: “What?”
“You saved an innocent person. In the Kingdom of Light, we never regret protecting a life.” Youta looked him straight in the eyes.
Luo Li stared at him, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: “…but the price is my only relative.”
Yang Tai shook his head: “If you choose to give up on those people, you will live in another kind of pain for the rest of your life.”
Raleigh was stunned. He opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word of rebuttal.
Chapter 33: How many tons do you weigh after you transform? [Please add to favorites and send flowers] (Old version)
Inside the tavern, the dim light illuminated the faces of Raleigh and Yota. Yota took a sip of his wine, his brows slightly furrowed, clearly still not used to the taste of this Earth drink.
He put down the cup and suddenly asked, “By the way, how strong are the monsters here?”
Luo Li raised his eyebrows: “You don’t even know this?”
Yang Tai shrugged, “I’m new to this universe, so I have to understand the enemy.”
Raleigh sighed and swirled his glass. “Well, since you asked…” He put the glass down and raised a finger. “Monsters are divided into five levels based on their threat level—level one is the weakest, and level five is the strongest.”
“A level one monster, roughly 60 meters tall and weighing around 2,000 tons, with the destructive power of a small army. They’re usually the first cannon fodder to emerge from a wormhole, and can be easily dispatched by mech hunters.”
Yang Tai nodded, “That doesn’t sound too strong.”
Raleigh sneered, “Don’t worry, this is just the beginning.” He continued, “Level 2 monsters are 70-80 meters tall and weigh 3,000-4,000 tons. Their destructive power is enough to destroy a small city. Their shells are harder and they are faster, so they require experienced mecha hunters to deal with them.”
Yang Tai thought for a moment, “Yeah, it’s okay.”
Raleigh glanced at him and continued, “Level 3 monsters, 85-95 meters tall, weighing 5,000-7,000 tons, with destructive power…” He paused, “enough to reduce a large city to ruins. Their blood is poisonous, and their shells are resistant to most conventional weapons, even the plasma cannons of mechas.”
Yang Tai touched his chin: “This level is starting to get interesting.”
Raleigh scoffed. “Interesting?” He shook his head. “A level four monster, over 100 meters tall and weighing over 8,000 tons, with destructive power…” His voice dropped. “Can easily destroy an entire country. Their body structures are more complex. Some can release EMPs to disable electronic equipment, while others can spray acid to dissolve mecha armor.”
Yang Tai’s expression finally turned serious: “What about level five?”
Luo Li was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, “There’s only been one Level 5 monster so far, codenamed the Poison Lady. It’s 180 meters tall, weighs over 10,000 tons, and its destructive power…” His eyes grew serious. “It nearly destroyed all of Hong Kong.”
After listening to this, Yang Tai pondered for a moment and suddenly laughed: “According to what you said, the tonnage of these monsters…is not particularly difficult to deal with.”
Luo Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed disdainfully: “Ha! You have no idea how terrifying those monsters are! I joked before that you were an alien, do you really think you’re the superman of the universe?”
Yang Tai did not refute, but simply said calmly: “When I transform into Ultraman, I am 50 meters tall and weigh over 35,000 tons.”
Luo Li almost spit out the drink he just drank: “How much?!”
Yangtai looked at him seriously. “35,000 tons. Moreover, my strength, speed, and defensive capabilities far exceed the physical laws of your universe.”
Luo Li stared at him as if he were a madman: “…Are you serious?”
Just as Yangtai was about to answer, a shrill alarm sounded from the TV in the bar. Everyone’s attention was drawn to it.
“Breaking news! A Level 4 monster, Skullbreaker, has just breached Sydney’s Wall of Life! It’s currently advancing towards the city center! But the situation is not optimistic! I repeat, Sydney is under attack by monsters!”
The scene switches to an aerial shot, showing a huge monster wreaking havoc in the city. It is over 100 meters tall, with spikes all over its back and a head like a giant axe blade. Every swing is accompanied by the collapse of buildings and explosions.
Luo Li’s face turned pale in an instant: “…Damn it, I knew these walls would be completely useless!”
However, Raleigh cursed and turned to look at Youta: “We have to-“
His words stopped abruptly.
Yangta’s seat was empty.
… “Yota?” Raleigh looked around. “Hey! Where are the people?”
The other people in the bar were still staring at the TV, and no one noticed that Yang Tai had disappeared. Luo Li rushed out of the bar, but Yang Tai was nowhere to be seen on the street outside.
“What the hell…” Raleigh muttered.
Just then—
boom!!!
On the distant horizon, a dazzling light suddenly burst out, followed by a deafening roar that even shook the ground slightly.
Luo Li stumbled and stumbled, holding onto the wall to avoid falling. He looked off into the distance in shock: “…What’s going on?”
What he didn’t know was that the light was the moment when Yang Tai transformed.
Chapter 34: Silver Giant [Seeking Collection and Flowers] (Old Version)
Inside the pub, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, everyone staring intently at the TV screen. Rowley frowned, turned around, and walked back to the pub, asking, “What’s going on?”
“Watch TV!” a worker shouted, pointing at the screen.
Raleigh looked up and saw the live broadcast – above the ruins of Sydney, a red and silver giant fell from the sky, grabbed the head of the fourth-level monster Skullbreaker with one hand, lifted it above his head, and then threw it high into the sky!
“Oh my god…” Rowley muttered, his eyes widening.
In the picture, the giant crossed his arms and then spread them out. A bright beam of light burst out from his palms and accurately hit the monster in the air.
boom–!!!
The monster exploded into pieces in the light, leaving no residue.
There was a dead silence in the tavern, and everyone was shocked by the scene and speechless.
“What the hell is this?” Rory’s voice trembled a little.
However, what was even more shocking was yet to come – the giant looked up at the sky, then lifted his feet off the ground and turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the sky.
Raleigh stood there, his mind blank.
Just then, another tremor erupted in the distance, and the ground shook slightly. Raleigh snapped back to his senses and turned to rush out of the tavern. “What’s going on out there?”
However, just as he took a step forward, the door of the tavern was pushed open. Yang Tai walked in slowly, his expression normal.
“Where did you go just now?” Raleigh was stunned.
Yang Tai shrugged, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
“Go to the bathroom?!” Rory pointed at the TV. “Do you know what you just missed?! A huge silver giant appeared on TV. He threw the monster directly into the sky, and then fired a strange beam, blasting the monster into pieces! The Eureka Raiders didn’t even have time to move!”
Yang Tai nodded calmly, “I know.”
“You know?!” Raleigh’s voice rose an octave.
Yang Tai didn’t answer, but walked to the bar, picked up his unfinished glass of wine, and took a sip.
The livestream showed the Eureka Raider standing on the street, its driver clearly bewildered – where was the monster? How had it suddenly disappeared?
“That giant just now…was it really you who transformed into him?” Lori stared at Yangtai’s back and asked in a low voice.
Yang Tai put down his wine glass, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: “Anyway, you won’t believe it even if I tell you, so if you think it is, then it is.”
Raleigh opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
“It’s been a mess lately, so don’t run around.” Raleigh patted his shoulder.
“You know?” Raleigh frowned.
Yang Tai just glanced at him indifferently and did not answer.
“You are really hard to understand… Let’s go back to the construction site.” Raleigh took a deep breath and rubbed his temples.
The two men left the tavern, and the crowd on the street was still talking.
Meanwhile, the pilot of the Eureka Raider mecha in Sydney was roaring on the communication channel: “I repeat! The monster was destroyed by an unknown giant! It wasn’t us!”
Luo Li glanced at Yang Tai and found that he looked normal, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.
“Hey,” Raleigh couldn’t help but speak up, “If you really are that giant…why don’t you just tell everyone?”
Yangtai kept walking: “If humans knew about the existence of Ultraman, what would they do?”
Raleigh thought for a moment: “…They might see you as a savior, or they might try to study you and control you.”
Yang Tai nodded: “So, there is no need to disclose it.”
Luo Li was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: “Damn, I’m actually discussing this with you seriously… Maybe you’re just a lunatic who can do magic tricks.”
Yang Tai also smiled: “Maybe.”
Chapter 35: Rekindling the Fighting Spirit [Please Collect and Add Flowers] (Old Version)
The roar of helicopter propellers broke the silence at the construction site. Raleigh looked up and saw the familiar military helicopter landing, kicking up a cloud of dust that made the workers duck.
“It seems like they’re looking for you.” Yang Tai patted Luo Li’s shoulder.
Luo Li’s expression suddenly darkened: “I knew it would be like this.”
Marshal Stek Pantecost strode down from the helicopter, followed by many fully armed soldiers. This soldier, nearly sixty years old, still maintained an upright military posture, recording his history of fighting monsters.
“Beckett.” Steck’s voice was deep and powerful. “We need you back.”
Raleigh stood still and said, “I’ve already said it, I quit.”
Sterk took a few steps closer. “The Dangerous Wanderer is still in the hangar, waiting for its pilot.”
“Then let it continue to wait.” Raleigh turned and was about to leave.
“Yan Xi wouldn’t want to see you like this.” Stek’s words made Raleigh stop abruptly.
Yota noticed that Raleigh’s fists were clenched, his knuckles turning white.
“You have no right to mention him.” Raleigh’s voice trembled.
Stek didn’t back down. “The wormhole is showing unusual activity. Alarm level three has been sounded. We need every experienced pilot we can get.”
“Find someone else.” Raleigh sneered, “You have plenty of recruits willing to die anyway.”
Steck suddenly handed the tablet to Raleigh: “Take a look at this.”
A video was playing on the screen: a red and silver giant easily defeated the fourth-level monster Skullbreaker.
“What is this?” Raleigh frowned.
“An unidentified creature appeared in Sydney yesterday.” Steck put away his tablet. “We don’t know if it’s friend or foe. But I do know that humanity can’t place its hopes on unknown forces.”
Yang Tai listened quietly at the side, with a slight smile on his face.
Stek turned his gaze towards Youta.
The legendary marshal’s eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people’s hearts: “We detected a high-speed moving object landing nearby.” He called up the satellite footage, and the blurry figure on the screen was indeed somewhat similar to Yang Tai.
The scene suddenly became eerily quiet. Raleigh looked at Youta in shock, while Steck simply nodded thoughtfully and said to Youta, “You come too.”
Luo Li shook his head: “Even if I go back, what will happen? I can’t fly the mecha by myself.”
“Mako can be your co-pilot,” Sterk said.
“No!” Raleigh suddenly became excited. “I will not let anyone die because of my decision again!”
The scene fell into silence. Yang Tai suddenly said, “Rawley, how did your brother die?”
Luo Li turned his head sharply: “What?”
“Tell me how he died.” Yang Tai repeated calmly.
Raleigh’s eyes turned painful. “We…we disobeyed orders to rescue a fishing boat…and then-“
“He saved those people, right?” Yang Tai asked.
Raleigh nodded with difficulty.
“So,” Youta looked directly into Rory’s eyes, “do you think he’ll regret it?”
The question hit Raleigh like a punch. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Yota continued, “In your world, I’ve seen too many people give up fighting out of fear. But a true warrior will keep going even when they’re afraid.”
Steck duly added, “Yancey was a hero, Raleigh. Don’t let his sacrifice be in vain.”
Luo Li’s shoulders trembled slightly. Yang Tai put his hand on his shoulder: “You are not running away from the battle, you are running away from yourself.”
This sentence seemed to shatter Raleigh’s last line of defense. He took a deep breath and turned to Stek: “…How is the mecha in condition?”
A trace of relief flashed in Stek’s eyes: “We can attack at any time.”
“Synesthesia system…”
“It has been upgraded to the latest version.” Stek said confidently, “Mako will be a good partner.”
Luo Li nodded and finally made up his mind: “Okay, I’ll go back. But there is one condition——”
“explain.”
“If that giant shows up again,” Raleigh pointed to the tablet, “I want to be the first to know.”
Stek gave Youta a thoughtful look, “Deal.”
So, under Steck’s insistence and Yang Tai’s encouragement, Raleigh and Yang Tai boarded the helicopter. When the hatch closed, he took a last look at the construction site.
“Ready, pilot?” Stek asked.
Raleigh looked out the window at the clouds and replied softly, “Let’s end this war.”
The helicopter flew towards the Hong Kong base, carrying humanity’s last hope.
Chapter 36: Deja Vu [Seeking Collection and Reward] (Old Version)
The helicopter landed on the tarmac at Hong Kong’s Shattered Dome Air Base, its propeller whirlwind scattering rainwater. The hatch opened, and Raleigh, Yang Tai, and Marshal Stek Pentecost stepped out.
In the rain, a slender figure walked slowly towards us with an umbrella.
“This is Asako Mori, Raleigh’s new partner,” Steck introduced briefly. “Please get to know each other.”
The moment Raleigh saw Asako Mori, he froze. His eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, as if struck by lightning. His fingers twirled the corner of his shirt, his Adam’s apple bobbing as if he were about to say something but couldn’t.
“Hello!” Raleigh suddenly said loudly, his voice an octave higher than usual, and he almost bit his tongue. “I’m Raleigh Beckett! I used to drive a Danger Ranger!”
Asako Mori raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded politely, “Mori Asako. I know you, Mr. Beckett.”
Rowley’s face flushed instantly, and he stood there at a loss, scratching his head and shoving his hands in his pockets, like a high school student on his first date.
Asako Mori’s eyes fell on Youta: “Who is this?”
Just as Luo Li was about to speak, Yang Tai stepped forward and said in fluent Japanese: “My name is Yang Tai. It’s our first meeting. Please take care of me.”
Asako Mori was visibly stunned for a moment, then a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. “Are you from my hometown too?” She tilted her head slightly. “No wonder I always feel like I’ve seen you before.”
Yang Tai smiled and didn’t explain much.
Stek interrupted, “Come on, let me show you around the base first.”
Inside the base, in the huge mecha warehouse, four steel giants stood quietly.
“These are the only four mechas we have left.” Stek pointed at them and introduced them one by one. “Eureka Raider, Cherno Alpha, Storm Crimson, and…” He paused, “Danger Ranger.”
Raleigh’s eyes fell on the familiar blue-gray mecha, his expression complicated.
Asako Mori looked at Youta: “So, why did you come here, Mr. Youta?”
Stek suddenly turned around and looked at Youta with sharp eyes: “That’s exactly what I want to ask – who are you? Where are you from? What is your purpose in coming here?”
The atmosphere froze instantly. Raleigh and Asako Mori looked at each other, their gazes simultaneously landing on Youta.
Yota looked at Stek calmly, “I’m Yota, or rather, Ultraman. I come from the Land of Light in the M78 Nebula. As for why I came here…” He shrugged, “I don’t know either. I only know that there are monsters here, and you need help.”
Asako Mori frowned: “Ultraman? You mean… the legendary giant?”
Stek didn’t waste any time. He took out his tablet and pulled up more photos and video evidence. “These are images captured by satellite. The giant that appeared in Sydney is highly consistent with the outline of Yangtai.”
Raleigh’s eyes widened. “That’s impossible! From Las Vegas to Sydney? It only took him 20 minutes from leaving the pub to the giant appearing!”
Yang Tai said calmly: “The flying speed of the Kingdom of Light is much faster than you think.”
Stek stared at Youta for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “I don’t care who you are or where you come from. As long as you’re fighting monsters, you’re our ally. At least for now.”
Asako Mori was a little unwilling: “If he can really transform into a giant, then his ability must be far beyond that of ordinary people. I want to test his strength.”
Stek looked at Youta: “What do you think?”
Yang Tai nodded, “Sure. How do I test it?”
Asako Mori brought Yota to the training ground at the base. Raleigh and Steck stood by and watched.
“Close combat, the rules are simple – if you fall to the ground or step out of bounds, you lose.” Asako Mori took a fighting stance. “Are you ready?”
Yang Tai stood there, his hands hanging naturally: “Anytime.”
Asako Mori didn’t hesitate, she rushed forward and punched Yangta in the face with her right fist!
Yang Tai slightly turned sideways and easily avoided it. At the same time, he gently pushed with his left hand, and Mori Mako’s momentum was immediately deflected. She staggered a few steps before stabilizing her body.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly adjusted her stance and attacked again. This time, she used her legs instead, sweeping them fiercely to attack Yang Tai’s lower body.
Yangtai just jumped lightly, not only avoiding the attack, but also turning slightly in the air, and standing behind Mori Mako when he landed.
“Your movements are standard, but too deliberate,” Yang Tai commented. “Fighting isn’t about routines, it’s about instinct.”
Mori Mako refused to give in and attacked again. However, no matter how she changed her moves, Youta was always able to avoid them with minimal movement, sometimes even neutralizing her attacks with just one finger.
Five minutes later, Asako Mori was out of breath, but Youta remained calm.
“Let’s change to sticks.” Mori Mako wiped the sweat off his face, took two training sticks from the weapon rack, and threw one to Yangta.
Yang Tai took the stick and casually made a flower with it: “Please.”
Asako Mori took a deep breath and swung her stick at Yota like a gust of wind. However, Yota’s defense was impenetrable, and every block was just right, even using the opponent’s force to counter the opponent’s force, making Asako Mori’s attack become her weakness.
In the end, Yangtai’s wooden stick gently touched Mori Mako’s throat, and the winner was decided.
Asako Mori put down the stick, her chest heaving violently: “…I lost.”
Yang Tai put away the stick and said seriously: “Your skills are good, but your mind is not calm.”
“What’s the meaning?”
“I feel like there’s something you can’t let go of.” Youta looked her straight in the eye. “Your fighting is restricted. Anger, obsession, or something else…it’s limiting your performance.”
Asako Mori’s pupils shrank slightly, but she quickly regained her composure: “…Maybe.”
Yang Tai nodded: “Put it down. You will be able to move freely in the next battle.”
A few days later, in the synesthesia laboratory at the base.
Raleigh and Mako Mori sat in the simulated cockpit, preparing to conduct a neural connection test.
“Are you ready?” the technician asked.
Raleigh glanced at Asako Mori, who nodded.
“Let’s get started.”
The synaesthesia system activated, and the two people’s consciousness gradually synchronized. Surprisingly, this time the connection was exceptionally smooth, with the synchronization rate rapidly climbing to 85% and eventually stabilizing at 92%—far exceeding expectations.
Stek in the monitoring room showed a satisfied expression. Yang Tai stood beside him and smiled slightly.
“What did you say to her?” Steck asked.
Yang Tai looked at the two people on the screen in perfect sync: “I just helped her untie the knot in her heart.”
Stek was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, “The monsters won’t stop attacking. We’ll need all the strength we can get.”
Yang Tai nodded, “I know.”
“So,” Steck looked at him, “when the real fight comes, will you fight?”
Yangtai’s gaze turned to the distant horizon: “I will do what I should do.”
Chapter 37: Crushing [Seeking Collection and Reward] (Old Version)
In the training ground of the Hong Kong base, Raleigh and Mako Mori are conducting mecha simulation training.
“The neural connection is stable at 92%,” Mori Mako’s voice came through the communicator. “It’s even higher than last time.”
Rory grinned, “It seems we’re quite compatible.”
In the monitoring room, Stek Pantecost looked at the data on the screen, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to Yang Tai who was standing beside him: “There is a private room upstairs, let’s talk.”
Yang Tai raised an eyebrow, “Of course.”
The sliding door slid open, revealing an exquisite Japanese tea room. Tatami floor, a simple low table, ink paintings on the walls. Steck knelt on the mat and gestured for an invitation.
Yangtai sat down cross-legged without any hesitation and picked up the sushi on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
“How is it? Are you adapting to the environment here?” Stek poured him a glass of sake.
“No problem, the environment here is pretty good.” Yangtai answered vaguely while chewing sushi.
Stek stared at him. “Will you fight for humanity?”
Yota put down his chopsticks and answered without hesitation, “The Space Guard of the Kingdom of Light in the M78 Nebula are warriors who exist to resist space monsters and maintain peace in the universe. There is no doubt about that.”
Steck’s tense shoulders relaxed slightly. “That’s a relief.”
For the next half hour, the two exchanged information about their respective universes. When Yangtai mentioned that the monsters faced by the Kingdom of Light were far more powerful than the Kaijumon of this world, Stek’s pupils shrank slightly.
“Your world… is incredible,” Sterk whispered.
Yang Tai smiled and said, “Every universe has its dangers.”
Just as Stek was about to continue asking questions, a shrill alarm suddenly rang throughout the base!
“Level 4 alert! Four level 4 monsters are approaching the Hong Kong coastline and are expected to arrive in one hour!” A hurried announcement came over the radio.
Stek immediately stood up: “All mechas prepare to attack! Yangtai, I need your strength.”
Yang Tai nodded, a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes: “Understood.”
While the other pilots were still nervously completing the mecha startup procedure, Yang Tai was already standing in the open space outside the base. Raindrops hit his face as he slowly pulled out the Ultra Converter from his pocket.
Stek, who was not far away, held his breath and stared at the scene intently.
“Ultraman—Yota!”
A dazzling burst of light erupted, and a 50-meter-tall red-silver giant rose from the ground! Although Stek had been mentally prepared, he still felt dizzy after witnessing this miraculous transformation.
“Oh my God…” he muttered.
Ultraman Yangtai looked down at Stek, nodded slightly, then left the ground with both feet and rushed towards the coastline at a speed of over Mach 70!
The command center’s screens broadcast live footage of the coastline. Raleigh, Asako Mori, and all the staff watched in amazement.
“That guy…really turned into a giant?” Raleigh’s voice trembled a little.
The four Level 4 monsters had barely reached the shore when they were met with an unprecedented blow. Yangtai swooped down from the sky and with a single flying kick, sent the leading monster, Earthbreaker, plummeting into the sea!
“Speitheum Ray!”
A dazzling beam of light shot out from Yangtai’s hand, accurately hitting the head of the second monster Stinger, vaporizing it instantly!
The third monster, Armored Armor, tried to attack from behind, but Yang Tai didn’t even turn his head and waved his right hand.
“Eight-point Light Wheel!”
The rotating light wheel roared out and cut the armor in half!
The last monster, the Tyrant, roared in fear and turned to flee back into the sea. Yang Tai crossed his arms into an L shape.
“Ultimate Spacium Ray!”
A beam of light even more powerful than before completely shattered the tyrant, and the aftermath even created a huge whirlpool on the sea!
The entire battle lasted less than three minutes. When the Danger Rangers and other mechas finally arrived, all that remained on the battlefield were the wreckage of the monster and the still-standing silver giant.
There was a dead silence in the communication channel, followed by exclamations in various languages.
“This…this is impossible!” came the voice of Russian pilot Sasha.
“He dealt with four level four monsters by himself?” said the eldest of the three Chinese pilots, the Wei brothers, in disbelief.
Yangtai turned to look at the arriving mechas, suddenly shrunk into human form, and jumped lightly onto the shoulders of the dangerous wanderer.
“Give me a ride.” He patted the mecha’s head.
Raleigh’s voice rang out from the cockpit: “I can’t believe it… If you’re the enemy, these mechas are no match.”
Yang Tai smiled: “You have to believe in the light.”
At the celebration party after returning to the base, the atmosphere was warm but a little subtle.
Asako Mori walked over to Youta with sake in hand: “So… this is your true strength?”
Yang Tai took the glass: “Today is just a warm-up.”
“Warming up?” Raleigh nearly choked on his beer. “You call that a warm-up?”
Stek walked over, a rare smile on his serious face: “Yota, on behalf of mankind, thank you for your help today.”
Yang Tai shook his head. “You’re welcome. But…” His expression turned serious. “The other side of the wormhole won’t give up. They might send a stronger enemy next time.”
“Level five monster?” Asako Mori clenched his fists.
“Or worse.” Yang Tai looked at the night sky outside the window, “I can feel that they are adapting to the rules of this universe.”
Luo Li suddenly asked: “What should we do if…if an enemy stronger than you appears?”
Yota turned to look at him, a determined glint in his eyes: “Then let’s fight together. Warriors from the Kingdom of Light never fight alone.”
Steck raised his glass. “Cheers to our new allies!”
“cheers!”
Amidst laughter and cheers, this sudden crisis has come to a temporary end. But everyone knows that the real challenge has just begun…
Chapter 38: Yang Tai, the Dry Eater [Seeking Collection and Reward] (Old Version)
In the celebratory restaurant, Yang Tai was devouring the food on the table at an astonishing speed. His chopsticks moved so fast that they left afterimages, and one dish after another disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“This mapo tofu is amazing!”
“Oh my god! This barbecued pork!”
“Hmm…Sushi…Ten more plates!”
Raleigh held his beer glass, his jaw almost dropping to the ground: “Is this guy… really the giant from before?”
Asako Mori nodded mechanically. “It seems the warriors from the Land of Light…are all big eaters.”
The plates in front of Yangtai had already piled up into a small mountain, but his hand speed did not slow down at all. The head chef ran out of the kitchen, wiping his sweat: “Sir! Our food supply is almost empty!”
Stek looked at the humanoid black hole and said half-jokingly, “It seems the threat from the monster is second only to this one. This devouring beast is going to eat up the Hong Kong base.”
The Russian couple driving the Cherno Alfa tried to toast with vodka, but were completely ignored. Natasha, the wife, frowned: “Does he…look down on us?”
Alexi, the husband, shrugged: “Honey, I think all he has eyes for now is food.”
When Yangtai finally put down the 38th empty plate, everyone in the restaurant breathed a sigh of relief. He burped contentedly, “Thank you for the treat! Earth’s food is truly delicious! No wonder Captain Zoffy said he didn’t want to leave after coming here.”
Everyone finally recovered from their shock. Steck cleared his throat and said, “Now we need to make a plan…”
“You and I have a common enemy,” Yang Tai interrupted, wiping his mouth, “the pioneers on the other side of the wormhole. You are responsible for providing intelligence…” His eyes glanced at the empty plate again, “In exchange…”
Everyone’s eyes involuntarily turned to the pile of plates.
“I can help you eliminate the enemy.” Yang Tai grinned.
Steck immediately agreed, “Deal!” Then he asked doubtfully, “Is that all you ask?” He began to wonder if this alien giant had other intentions.
Yang Tai scratched the back of his head embarrassedly: “Um…”
“Another table?”
The entire restaurant suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The chef collapsed to the ground and said, “Oh my God…”
Stek’s mouth twitched: “Give him… give him another table…”
At the other end of the underwater wormhole, the Pioneer’s Council Hall was dead silent.
“This is impossible!” A Pioneer elder slammed the table. “Four level four monsters, all destroyed in three minutes?”
The holographic projection repeatedly played the scene of Ultraman destroying the monster. Another Pioneer trembled and said, “Our intelligence shows that humanity only has four mechas left…”
“This isn’t a mecha!” the chief scientist called up the energy readings. “This creature’s energy response… completely defies the known laws of physics!”
The Harbinger Chancellor said grimly, “Contact the Higher Council immediately. We need… more resources.”
The alarm at the Hong Kong base suddenly sounded.
“Three level five monsters are approaching! Expected to arrive at Hong Kong Bay in two hours!” The technician’s voice was filled with fear.
Stek stood up suddenly: “How much did you say?!”
“Three…three level five monsters, sir!”
The entire command center instantly fell into panic. Luo Li’s face turned pale: “Three… How is this possible…”
Asako Mori quickly pulled up the data: “There has only been one Level 5 monster, the Poison Lady, in history, and it nearly destroyed all of Hong Kong.”
Everyone’s eyes involuntarily turned to Yangta, who was eating his 47th plate of fried rice.
Yang Tai swallowed the last bite of rice slowly and wiped his mouth: “Looks like there is work to do.”
Stek immediately ordered: “All mechas, prepare to attack immediately! Yangtai, I need you to take the lead this time!”
Yang Tai stood up and stretched his neck: “Leave it to me.”
Luo Li couldn’t help but ask: “Three level five monsters…are you sure?”
Yang Tai smiled confidently: “Let me show you the true strength of the elite warriors of the Kingdom of Light.”
Chapter 39: The Price of Arrogance [Seeking Collection and Reward] (Old Version)
“Enough!” Marshal Stek slammed his fist on the command desk, and the metal table made a dull sound. “Chuck, Heck, you are playing with the fate of all mankind!”
The pilot of the Eureka Raider, Herk Hansen, and his son Chuck Hansen stood in front of the holographic projection, with dissatisfaction written all over their faces.
“Marshal, we don’t need to rely on this alien. Four mechas are enough to deal with the three-headed monster.” Chuck’s young and energetic face was full of disdain.
Heck patted his son’s shoulder, but his eyes remained firm. “Father and I have been flying the Eureka Raider for seven years, Marshal. Human affairs should be resolved by humans themselves.”
The atmosphere in the command center was tense. Raleigh noticed Mori Mako’s fingers gripping the tactical tablet so tightly that her knuckles turned white. He felt a surge of irritation himself—these stubborn old guys simply didn’t understand what they were facing.
Yota leaned against the wall, quietly peeling an orange. His expression was eerily calm, as if the debate over whether he should go to the war had nothing to do with him.
But Rowley noticed that the alien’s fingers would occasionally pause as he peeled the orange.
“You’re courting death!” Steck’s voice trembled with anger. “The Level 5 Poison Queen nearly destroyed all of Hong Kong, and now three of them are coming at once!”
Chuck scoffed. “That’s because there was only one mech on defense. Now we have four—”
“Chuck!” Heck spoke up to stop his son, but it was too late.
Yangtai finally looked up, his eyes shining strangely in the light. “I understand your pride. I’ve seen warriors like you on other planets.”
Heck frowned. “This isn’t a matter of pride, alien. This is human dignity.”
Yang Tai slowly stood up and threw the orange peel into the trash can. “Dignity is not built with corpses.” He looked at Steck and said, “Let them go. I’ll be on standby at the rear.”
Stek’s expression changed from gloomy to bright, and he finally sighed heavily: “Alright. The four mechas will attack immediately. Yang Tai, you… stand by to provide support at any time.”
When the mecha troops set off, Luo Li couldn’t help but ask Yang Tai: “Why didn’t you insist on joining the battle?”
Yang Tai looked at the transport plane taking off: “Some lessons can only be remembered through personal experience.”
The waters of Hong Kong Bay were unusually calm, like the calm before a storm. Four steel giants stood on the breakwater, waves lapping against their metal feet.
“All systems checked.” Asako Mori’s voice rang out over the communication channel. “Neural connection is stable at 92%.”
Raleigh took a deep breath. “Are you ready, partner?”
“More prepared than you think.” Mori Mako replied softly.
Suddenly, the sea level began to rise unnaturally, and three huge black figures approached rapidly from underwater.
“They are coming!” The three Wei brothers, drivers of Storm Red, shouted at the same time.
The seawater exploded, and three massive monsters burst forth. The leading creature, the Ripper, stood over 180 meters tall, its back covered in spikes, each as thick as a mech’s cockpit. Its roar shattered every window within a kilometer.
“Oh my God…” Chuck’s voice trembled for a moment in the communication channel, and then he pretended to be calm, “Act according to the plan! Eureka Raiders lead the attack!”
The battle erupted in an instant. Cherno Alpha charged forward, and the Russian pilots, Sasha and Alexi, roared in battle. Their mechs rammed the Ripper’s head with powerful punches, only to be met with a resounding metallic clatter.
“Its shell is so hard!” Alexei exclaimed.
“Storm Crimson, support!” The three Wei brothers controlled their three-armed mechas to flank the enemy. But the second monster, the Devourer, suddenly opened its bloody mouth and a wave of purple energy swept across.
“Be careful! It’s plasma breath!”
One of Storm’s crimson arms instantly vaporized in the energy wave. Inside the cockpit, the second of the three Wei brothers screamed—the neural connection transmitted the pain of his destroyed arm directly to them.
“Danger Ranger, now!” Raleigh and Asako Mori pushed the joysticks simultaneously. Their mechas drew their swords and stabbed the Devourer’s eyes.
Just as the sword was about to strike, a third monster, the Annihilator, leaped from the sea, its massive tail sweeping across. Danger Wanderer was sent flying, collapsing three skyscrapers.
“Damn it! They cooperate so well!” Rory spat out a mouthful of blood foam.
The battle situation took a turn for the worse. The Cherno Alpha’s cockpit was pierced by the Ripper’s spikes, and the Russian couple’s life signals disappeared forever from the monitor. Storm Red attempted to rescue them, but was bitten in the waist by the Devourer, and the screams of the three brothers were cut off abruptly on the communication channel.
“No!” Asako Mori’s voice was filled with tears.
The Eureka Raider’s situation was equally critical. “Dad! Our power system—” Chuck hadn’t finished his words when an electromagnetic pulse erupted from the Annihilator’s body. All electronic equipment instantly failed, and the Eureka Raider froze in place like a puppet with its strings cut.
“All systems are down!” Heck slammed the control panel frantically. “The backup power supply has also failed!”
The Ripper grinned fiercely as it approached the immobilized Eureka Raider, its massive claws raised high. Chuck could clearly see the cold gleam reflected from the claws through the reinforced glass of the cockpit. At that moment, the young pilot finally understood the price of his arrogance.
“Dad…I’m sorry…” Chuck closed his eyes.
At this critical moment, a dazzling beam of light fell from the sky!
“Ultraman——Yota!!!”
The silver-red giant descended like a god, launching a flying kick that sent the Ripper flying hundreds of meters away. The aftermath of the attack split the sea surface, exposing the muddy seabed.
“It’s…it’s him…” Chuck stared blankly at the life signal that suddenly appeared on the surveillance screen.
Yangtai wasted no time. He turned and charged at the Devourer, his right fist radiating a dazzling light. “Ultra Punch!” The punch pierced the monster’s chest, sending a cascade of purple blood gushing out.
Seeing the situation was bad, the Annihilator turned and tried to escape back into the wormhole. Yang Tai crossed his arms and said, “Speitheum Ray!” A brilliant beam of light streaked across the sky, instantly vaporizing the fleeing monster.
The last remaining Ripper struggled to its feet, roaring in frustration. Yangtai leaped high into the air, his body spinning in a flash of red light. “Ultra Kick!” His right foot chopped down like a battle axe, and the monster’s head exploded like a ripe watermelon.
The entire battle took less than three minutes.
Chuck and Hek were still in shock when Youta transformed back into his human form and landed on the Eureka Raider’s shoulders.
“Giving me a ride.” Yang Tai knocked on the cockpit glass. There was no joy of victory on his face, only deep fatigue.
After returning to the base, the Hansens were immediately court-martialed. Steck looked at the two men being taken away, his face filled with mixed emotions.
“They could have avoided this,” Rowley said.
Steck shook his head. “Sometimes, arrogance is scarier than monsters.”
Yota stood at the window. “The pioneers have seen me. Next time… they will prepare more powerful weapons.”
Asako Mori walked up to him and said, “But at least today, we survived.”
Yota turned his head towards the restaurant, “Speaking of which… I’m hungry.”
Luo Li couldn’t help laughing: “You guy…”
Chapter 40: Final Battle Plan [Please Collect and Reward] (Old Version)
The lights in the command center were still blindingly bright at midnight. Marshal Steck stood before a holographic projection, the dark circles under his eyes betraying he had been working for over 36 hours straight. A three-dimensional model of the wormhole spun within the projection, and a disturbing energy reading pulsed beside it.
“According to Dr. Herman’s latest calculations,” Steck’s voice was hoarse and heavy, “the stability of the wormhole is increasing at a rate of 3.7% per hour. This means—”
“—which means it will soon be able to accommodate even more powerful monsters.” Mori Mako took over, her fingers rapidly tapping on the holographic keyboard, calling up a new set of data. “It might be a new species above level five.”
Raleigh Beckett stood by the window. Outside, the Hong Kong night sky was streaked with pale light from searchlights. “So we must take the initiative.” This wasn’t a question.
Steck nodded and drew a route on the hologram. “The plan is to have Danger Rangers carry a tactical nuclear bomb through the wormhole.” He tapped his finger on the wormhole model. “The nuclear bomb will detonate at the other end, completely destroying the passage.”
The conference room was dead silent. Asako Mori’s hand froze in mid-air, the blue light of the holographic projection casting flickering shadows on her face.
“Wait,” Raleigh turned around, “you mean a single-plane assault?”
“According to our research,” Steck’s voice was eerily calm, “the only way to safely pass through the wormhole is to follow the monster. This means—”
“—means there’s no return,” Yota suddenly said. He had stood at the doorway, a bowl of steaming ramen in his hand. The alien pointed at the projection with his chopsticks. “Your scientists are right, but this plan is too risky.”
Steck narrowed his eyes. “Do you have a better suggestion?”
Yang Tai slurped a mouthful of noodles and chewed them slowly. Everyone stared at him, and the air was filled with an absurd tension – the fate of humanity might depend on the next words of this alien who was eating noodles.
“Give me the nuclear bomb.” Yang Tai finally put down the bowl, took out a crumpled napkin from his pocket and wiped his mouth. “Ultraman’s flying speed can reach Mach 90, and I can withstand the gravitational distortion of the wormhole.”
Asako Mori stood up suddenly. “But there may be more monsters waiting in the Pioneer world! You alone——”
“—stronger than all your mechas combined.” Youta interrupted her calmly, but there was no arrogance in his tone, he was just stating a fact. “And,” he looked at Stek, “release the pilot of the Eureka Raider.”
Steck raised an eyebrow. “The Hansens? They’re being investigated by a military court.”
Yang Tai walked in front of the projection, the blue light of the wormhole reflected on his angular face. “Let them redeem themselves from their crimes. We need all the combat forces to cover me as I approach the wormhole.”
Raleigh noticed that Youta said “we” instead of “you.” This subtle choice of words made him feel warm in his chest.
“No!” Asako Mori slammed the table and stood up. “They almost killed everyone!”
Yota turned to her, his eyes surprisingly gentle. “Everyone makes mistakes, Mako. What matters is whether we can learn from them.” He paused. “I’ve seen too many civilizations on other planets destroyed by internal strife.”
Stek pondered for a long time, and finally pressed the communicator: “Release the Hansen father and son, give them one last chance.”
When Chuck and Herc Hansen were led to the command center, their arrogance was gone: Chuck’s blond hair was greasy and plastered to his forehead, and Herc’s right eye still bore a bruise from the interrogation.
“I heard that you want to make amends?” Stek asked coldly.
Heck straightened his back, his voice hoarse, “Yes, sir. We…we made a big mistake.”
Chuck’s gaze fell on Youta, a mixture of shame and awe on his young face: “Are you…are you really willing to give us another chance?”
Youta simply nodded, picking up an apple from the table and taking a bite. “I’m going to need you guys covering my flank tomorrow.”
“Your flank?” Hurk frowned in confusion, but the mecha couldn’t be on the seabed—
“It’s not in this form.” Yang Tai finished the apple in three bites and threw the core accurately into the trash can five meters away. “You will understand tomorrow.”
At dawn the next day, the surface of Hong Kong Bay was shrouded in thick fog. Two mechas stood on the breakwater: the Danger Wanderer and the Eureka Raider.
“All systems checked,” Mori Mako’s voice echoed over the communication channel. She had specially changed into the amulet her brother, Yang Xi, left behind today, the metal pendant faintly visible on the collar of her pilot’s uniform.
Luo Li rolled his shoulders and said, “Yota, are you sure you don’t want us to go with you?”
Yangtai shook his head. A modified nuclear bomb device hung on his chest—Steck had it specially crafted into a necklace. “Your mechas can’t survive over there. But…” He looked at the fleet gathering in the distance, “I need you to help me clear a path to the wormhole.”
Heck’s voice came from the Eureka Raider: “We owe you our lives, alien. We’ll send you to the wormhole entrance no matter what we say today.”
Yang Tai smiled. “Just call me Yang Tai.” He looked around the cockpits of the two mechas, his expression becoming serious. “Remember, don’t fight too long. Once I enter the wormhole, retreat immediately.”
“Understood!” Two voices responded at the same time.
Yang Tai nodded and jumped down from the palm of the dangerous wanderer. As he fell, the Ultra Converter on his chest began to glow.
Amidst the dazzling light, a 50-meter-tall red-silver giant crashed into the sea, stirring up waves a hundred meters high. Two mechas followed closely behind, striding heavily towards the deep sea.
Chapter 41: The Final Battle of Pacific Rim Ends [Please Collect and Reward] (Old Version)
“The waters of Hong Kong Bay took on an eerie, inky blue before dawn.” Yang Tai stood at the edge of the breakwater, the salty sea breeze ruffling his hair. Behind him, the Danger Ranger and the Eureka Raider towered, their searchlights slicing the sea surface into fragments.
“The nuclear bomb safety arming code is 7-9-3-0.” Stek’s voice came from the communicator, with an electric hum. “Remember, you only have one chance.”
“Got it. Danger Wanderer is ready.” Raleigh moved his fingers in the cockpit, and the neural connector made a slight buzzing sound.
“Eureka Raiders, in position.” Heck’s voice was lower than usual, and Chuck was staring at the life detector beside him.
Yangtai didn’t answer. He took a deep breath, and the Ultra Converter on his chest began to glow. The next second, a dazzling beam of light shot up into the sky, and the 50-meter-tall red and silver giant crashed into the sea. The waves slammed against the mecha’s hull with a sound like a rainstorm.
“Follow me closely.” Yang Tai’s voice was transmitted into the cockpit through a special frequency band, forming a strange resonance in the water. “I will be responsible for clearing obstacles, and you protect the nuclear bomb.”
“The depth is 1,500 meters, close to the maximum combat depth.” Mori Mako quickly adjusted the balance system, and the hydraulic joints of the Dangerous Wanderer groaned under the heavy sea pressure.
Suddenly, five red dots lit up on the life detector and were approaching them at an alarming speed.
“Contact! Five monsters!” Chuck’s voice suddenly rose. “Three level five, two level four!”
“Damn…” Raleigh subconsciously tightened his grip on the joystick, “This thing is twice as big as the Vicious Woman.”
Yangtai had already rushed out. His body traced a silver-blue trail through the water, and his right fist condensed into a dazzling radiant energy. “Ultra Impact!” The punch struck the Abyss Lord directly in the center of his eye, sending dark green fluid gushing out, dyeing the water within a hundred meters a venomous color.
“Don’t be dazed!” Yang Tai’s voice brought everyone back to reality, “Eureka Raider, three o’clock!”
“Damn the water pressure!” Chuck frantically hammered at the weapon systems. “Dad, use the chainsaw!”
Heck, he pulled the emergency brake, and the giant chainsaw on the Eureka Raider’s right arm began to spin, its teeth creating a string of pearly bubbles in the seawater. When the Impaler’s tail stinger struck, the chainsaw met it, and the collision of metal and carapace set off dazzling sparks.
Elsewhere, the Danger Wanderer was engaged in a battle with two Level 5 monsters. Asako Mori’s forehead was already sweating, and the neural connection accurately reported every impact the mecha endured to the pilot.
“Rawley, dodge left!” she suddenly shouted.
The Danger Wanderer rolled sideways, barely avoiding the Abyss’s howling acid attack. The purple liquid brushed past the mech’s head, corroding a piece of seabed reef with a sizzling sound.
“Thanks, partner.” Raleigh pulled the control lever, and the chain sword popped out with a clang. “Now it’s our turn!”
At the critical moment, a flash of silver light appeared. “Yota slipped between the two with astonishing speed, throwing the Tear King over his shoulder and slamming him onto the seabed.” The shockwave stirred up thick sediment, and the seawater within a kilometer radius suddenly became murky.
“Nuclear bomb!” Yangtai’s voice resonated in the water. “Move forward now!”
“Now!” Yang Tai stretched out his hand, “Give me the nuclear bomb.”
“It must succeed.” Mori Mako said softly, her finger still on the launch button, her knuckles turning white from the effort.
Yang Tai took the nuclear bomb and fixed it to his chest. He took a last look at the two scarred mechas and the bloody but still persistent human warriors in the cockpit.
“Retreat.” His voice was rarely warm. “Leave the rest to me.”
In the cockpit of the Eureka Raider, Chuck suddenly slapped the communicator: “Wait! How can you guarantee that—”
But Yang Tai had already turned and rushed towards the wormhole. At the last second before entering the vortex, he grabbed the body of a seriously injured monster and dragged it into the twisted space channel as a pass.
Yangtai didn’t give them time to react. The countdown for the nuclear bomb on his chest had entered its final ten seconds, and the piercing alarm echoed in this alien world.
“For the Earth,” he whispered, and then plunged the nuclear bomb deep into the organic earth beneath his feet.
Nine seconds. The pioneers began to flee in all directions, some even jumping directly into the sea of acid.
Seven seconds. Yang Tai saw a huge biological building wriggling in the distance. It might be their main brain.
Five seconds. The shell of the nuclear bomb began to glow red, and the surrounding air was distorted by the high temperature.
Three seconds. Yangtai took one last look at this other world that was about to be destroyed, and bent his legs slightly.
In one second, he shot up into the sky like a rocket, a sudden burst of white light behind him.
As Yangtai rushed back to Earth through the wormhole, the shockwave followed closely behind. The entire space tunnel collapsed like shattered glass, and turbulent purple-black energy splashed everywhere. The Danger Ranger and Eureka Raider had retreated to a safe distance, but the aftermath of the explosion still flipped the two mechas to the seabed.
When everything calmed down, Raleigh was the first to struggle to his feet. The communication channel was filled with noise, and the life detector was blank.
“Yota?” His voice dissipated before it could travel far in the sea water.
Just as despair was about to spread, a faint blue light shone down from above. Everyone looked up and saw the silver giant slowly sinking. The colored timer on his chest had turned a dangerous red, but he gave a thumbs up.
“Mission accomplished.” Although Yang Tai’s voice was weak, it was clearly heard by everyone.
On the rooftop of the Broken Dome Base, Marshal Steck put down his telescope, turned to his adjutant and said, “Tell the kitchen to prepare an unprecedented celebration banquet.”
“Where’s the menu?”
Stek looked at the silver light in the distance that was transforming back into a human form, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: “Cook all the ingredients you can buy.”
Chapter 42: King Kong vs. Godzilla [Please add to favorites and give rewards] (Old version)
At that time, Madison Russell was just an ordinary scientist.
Madison is the daughter of Monarch scientists Dr. Mark and Dr. Emma Russell, and her brother is Andrew Russell. She grew up in a family steeped in science, which has given her a deeper understanding and knowledge of mysterious things like monsters than most people.
Madison’s brother Andrew was tragically killed in the 2014 Godzilla vs. MUTO battle, and since then she has accompanied her mother on field missions around the world.
In Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Madison is initially exploited by her mother and becomes a reluctant villain in the awakening of the monster. However, after a series of events, she gradually realizes her mistakes and turns to the side of Godzilla and humanity, becoming one of the key figures in saving the world.
By the time of “King Kong vs. Godzilla,” Madison has grown into a girl with a strong belief. She knows the importance of Godzilla to the ecological balance of the earth, so when faced with various difficulties and dangers, she always stands firmly on Godzilla’s side and strives to help Godzilla fight King Kong and other threats.
－－－Dividing line－－－
Yota’s eyelids felt heavy as lead. He struggled to open them, his blurry vision filled with the intertwining, twisting shadows of trees. A dull pain shot through the back of his head, as if someone had struck him hard with a hammer. He instinctively raised his hand to rub his temple, but found his arm sinking into something damp and soft—humus soil, smelling of rainwater and rotting branches.
What…place is this?
“My voice is hoarse, not like myself.” As he pulled himself up, the fabric of his combat uniform scraped against the dirt, making a sticky sound. The sky was a sickly gray-yellow, like diluted bile, and the clouds moved at an abnormal speed. In the distance, a low growl of some creature could be heard, a sound unmatched by any known animal on Earth—a mix of the roar of a volcanic eruption and whale song, shaking his chest and making it numb.
Yota pinched himself hard. The pain was real and piercing. His last memory was of a mission in the Land of Light, where his team was ordered to debug a newly developed inter-universe jump device. Then there was a blinding blue light, an alarm, and Captain Zoffy yelling something… When he opened his eyes again, he was here.
Beta wand! He suddenly woke up, his fingers trembling as he reached for the hidden pocket on his chest. The cool touch of metal made him breathe a sigh of relief—the red and silver transformation device was intact, the familiar shimmer of plasma sparks flowing across its surface. At least he could still transform.
Deep in the jungle, a crisp snapping sound echoed. Yota tensed his muscles instantly, his instincts, trained in the Kingdom of Light, sending him tumbling behind the nearest giant tree. Footsteps approached. They were humans, at least five of them, armed with some kind of pulse weapon he had never seen before.
“The scan shows that vital signs disappeared here,” a female voice said. Through the gaps in the ferns, Yangtai saw the speaker: a woman in her mid-twenties, with a tactical goggle reflecting a data stream and the Monarch Project logo printed on her shoulder.
“Be careful, Madison.” The bearded white man lowered the gun. “The guy who said that last time is still lying in the medical bay.”
The woman known as Madison suddenly stopped, her tactical boots within two meters of where Yangtai was hiding. She removed her eyepiece, a hint of doubt flashing in her brown eyes. “Come out! Thermal imaging shows you’re behind that Asplenium arvensis.”
Yangtai swallowed. These people’s technological level was clearly beyond that of ordinary Earth civilization, but the English inscriptions on their uniforms confirmed that this was indeed the Earth of some parallel universe. He slowly raised his hands and stood up, answering in English from the Kingdom of Light’s language library, “I mean no harm.”
The entire team instantly entered combat mode, with five strangely shaped guns simultaneously locked onto his head. The bearded man spat, “Damn, he’s wearing some kind of space suit?”
“My name is Youta.” He chose his words carefully, and the translation module built into the combat suit converted his words into English. “I… seem to be lost.”
Madison narrowed her eyes. She was more perceptive than Yangtai had imagined, her gaze sweeping over every inch of his attire like a scalpel. “Lost?” She pointed at the storm wall looming on the horizon. “That’s a storm zone that’s been going on for twenty-seven years. Not even drones can penetrate it. And you,” her fingertips rested on the Ultra emblem on his chest, “showing up in Kong’s territory wearing high-tech gear without a national insignia.”
King Kong? Primate data flashed through Yangtai’s database, but his intuition told him they weren’t just any ordinary gorilla. He was about to concoct a more plausible explanation when the ground suddenly shook. In the distance, there was the roar of falling trees, and the startled flock of birds seemed like a moving black cloud.
“Retreat! It’s King Kong!” The bearded man dragged Madison towards the armored vehicle. The young technician broke free and stared at Yang Tai: “Who the hell are you? That vibration frequency…it has never actively approached a human base in the daytime!”
Yangtai’s Ultra Sense suddenly tingled. Some immense energy source was rapidly approaching, its bioelectric field comparable to that of a mid-level monster. He instinctively pulled out his Beta Wand, and the metal surface automatically glowed with a defensive blue light.
“Oh my god! What the hell is that?” the bespectacled technician in the team screamed. The next second, the sunlight above them was completely obscured—a dark shadow, as tall as a thirty-story building, rose from the ground. Yangta looked up to see a chest covered in asphalt-colored hair, its muscles forming small whirlwinds with each rise and fall.
King Kong.
The word exploded in Yota’s mind. The beast’s golden irises shrank to a thin line, and the hot air from its nostrils blew the nearest palm tree toppling. It didn’t attack immediately. Instead, as if it had discovered something, it suddenly leaned forward and brought its face close to Yota, so close that he could clearly see the dewdrops condensing on each whisker.
“Don’t move…it’s sniffing you.” Madison’s voice trembled as she was recording data with some instrument.
Yangtai felt the light energy within him surge uncontrollably. Kongo’s pupils suddenly dilated, and a low gurgling sound rolled from his throat—definitely not a sign of attack, but rather… curiosity? The behemoth extended a hand, as big as a bus, and hovered about ten meters above Yangtai’s head. Fragments of some luminescent mineral remained in the veins of its palm.
“Wait! I’m not an enemy!” Yang Tai shouted, quietly turning the Beta Wand to its lowest power. From the tip of the Transformer, an invisible Ultra Signature, the universal peace signal used by the Space Guard, was emitted.
A miracle happened. Kong suddenly stood upright, his fists pounding his chest, but the movement stopped abruptly in mid-air. He tilted his head, a flicker of emotion in his golden eyes that Yangtai couldn’t decipher, and then—he turned and left. The heavy footsteps gradually faded, and the fallen trees, like dominoes, fell, leaving a clear path.
The entire team fell into an eerie silence. The bearded man’s gun clattered to the ground, and Madison’s instrument issued a sharp overload alarm.
“You…” Her voice was as light as a feather, “The blue light just now… and King Kong’s reaction…” The tactical tablet slipped from her hands, and an energy analysis diagram was displayed on the screen: a curve representing Yangtai resonated perfectly with King Kong’s bioelectric field in a certain frequency band.
The technician wearing glasses suddenly screamed, “Madison! The readings show that the energy waveform he released is 87% similar to the one Godzilla released in Bermuda last year!”
Yota felt his throat tighten. Godzilla? Another unfamiliar name for a giant beast. But worse still, all the guns were pointed at him again, this time with obvious fear. Madison slowly backed away, his finger hovering over the emergency button on the communicator. “Last chance, Mr. Yota. Who are you? Why would King Kong do this to you…”
Chapter 43: Godzilla’s Fury [Please add to favorites and reward] (Old Version)
-Temporary Base-
Yangtai followed Madison through layers of protective doors, the hum of various equipment echoing in his ears. Screens on both sides of the corridor scrolled data streams, and on one of them, dozens of red dots flashed on a global map, each labeled with the name of a different Titan beast.
“Are these…all creatures like King Kong?” Yang Tai asked in a low voice.
Madison didn’t answer immediately. Her fingers slid quickly across the tablet, pulling up a video – a city collapsing in flames, huge black shadows swimming in the smoke and dust, and blue energy beams sweeping across the sky, tearing the tall buildings apart like pieces of paper.
“Godzilla,” she finally said, her voice low. “It’s not an ordinary Titan, but… some kind of Balancer.”
Yang Tai frowned, “Balancer?”
“It hunts other Titans to maintain a certain order that we cannot understand.” Madison looked up with a complicated look, “But humans don’t want to be dominated by this ‘order’.”
They walked into a conference room already filled with senior military officials and scientific researchers. The beam of a projector revealed a stern face: General Sterling, the supreme commander of the Monarch Project.
“So, this is the ‘special individual’ that can make King Kong stop?” Sterling’s gaze scraped towards Yang Tai like a blade.
Yang Tai didn’t flinch, staring back: “I’m just a lost man.”
Sterling sneered and tapped the table with his fingers. The screen switched to a real-time image of Godzilla – it was cruising in the deep sea, its dorsal fin cutting through the water, leaving a dark blue trail.
“Lost? Then do you know whose side you’re on now?” Sterling stood up and put his hands on the table. “Humanity has had enough of being trampled under the feet of these behemoths. We must either control them or destroy them.”
Yangtai’s chest tightened. He remembered the creed of the Kingdom of Light – to protect life, not to dominate life.
“You want to start a war?” he asked in a deep voice.
Sterling’s eyes were cold: “War? No, this is survival.”
The lights in the conference room suddenly turned a glaring red, and alarms ripped through the air.
“Godzilla is approaching!” a technician yelled. “It’s changed course and is heading straight for Skull Island!”
Madison stood up suddenly, the data stream refreshing frantically on her tablet: “Impossible… How could it suddenly…”
Yangtai’s Ultra Sense exploded instantly, and a huge energy was approaching from the deep sea, carrying pure anger.
“It sensed something…” he muttered.
Sterling had already grabbed the communicator: “All units, level one alert! Prepare to engage!”
Yangtai rushed out of the tent. The sky outside had been dyed a dark red. The sea in the distance was surging, as if split apart by some invisible force. A dazzling blue light burst out from under the water.
“Atomic Breath!”
The sea surface exploded, and a beam of blazing energy rushed straight towards the island, vaporizing rocks and burning jungles wherever it passed.
King Kong roared from the mountaintop, leaping from the cliff and slamming his arms into the ground, sending shockwaves surging. The beast’s golden eyes locked onto its nemesis in the sea, and it charged without hesitation.
Godzilla burst from the water, his scales gleaming coldly metallic in the setting sun. A blue light shone from deep within his throat, readying his second atomic breath.
King Kong dodged sideways, his breath brushing against its shoulder and creating a scorched crater a hundred meters in diameter behind it. Roaring furiously, it lunged at Godzilla, the two beasts colliding, the shockwave overturning a nearby armored vehicle.
Yang Tai gritted his teeth and pulled out the beta magic wand from his arms.
“Ultraman——!”
The light exploded, and a silver-red giant stood on the earth.
Three-way melee
Godzilla’s pupils constricted. He had never seen anything like it before—neither a Titan nor a human. His instincts immediately recognized it as a threat.
The blue light deep in the throat lit up again, this time, “Atomic Breath blasted towards Ultraman with all its might!”
Yang Tai crossed his arms and unfolded a barrier of light in front of him. The energy impact of his breath made him slide back dozens of meters, plowing deep gullies in the ground.
“Wait! I’m not an enemy!” He tried to use Ultra Telekinesis to convey the message, but Godzilla’s mind was as chaotic as the deep sea, and he responded with only pure hostility.
Kong paused briefly, sensing a familiar scent—the tiny human who had stopped him from attacking had now become a giant of his own size. But Godzilla was a more pressing threat, and with a low growl, he decided to deal with his old enemy first.
The three-way battle broke out completely——
– “Godzilla: Identifying Ultraman as an unknown threat, he unleashes his atomic breath, tail whip, and claw attacks, each one carrying devastating force.”
– “King Kong: Although confused by Ultraman’s appearance, he still chooses to deal with Godzilla first, smashing his giant fist into Godzilla’s head in an attempt to suppress it.”
– “Yota (Ultraman): Tried to block the attacks from both sides with a barrier while looking for a chance to separate them, but the two beasts were already furious, and the battle spread over a wider area.”
On the ground, Madison looked up at this god-level battle, and his worldview completely collapsed.
“Is he…really a human?” Her voice trembled.
General Sterling’s face was extremely gloomy. “Whatever he is, now is our chance.” He pressed the communicator, “All units, aim at Godzilla—fire!”
Chapter 44: Unyielding Light [Seeking Collection and Reward] (Old Version)
After the war,
Yangtai pushed himself up from the charred earth, his fingertips sinking into the soft ash.
His muscles trembled slightly due to energy overdraft, and every breath was accompanied by a burning pain.
The timer flickered faintly on his chest, like a star about to go out.
In the distance, Godzilla’s dorsal fin slowly sank into the sea level, and King Kong’s roar gradually faded away in the shadow of the jungle.
But the air still held the scorched, ionized smell of atomic breath and a deeper, unsettling restlessness.
“Yota!”
Madison’s voice cut through the smoke.
She stumbled over, her tactical uniform covered in mud and dust, her brown eyes filled with a mixture of shock and suspicion.
Her fingers hesitated just as they were about to touch his shoulder, as if she was afraid that this giant who was fifty meters tall just now would disappear like an illusion.
“You…” Her Adam’s apple rolled, “What on earth is this?”
Yang Tai smiled bitterly and wiped the dust from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
The gesture made him look strangely youthful, even vulnerable.
“A lost traveler,” he said softly, his eyes scanning the soldiers standing ready behind her. “At least for now.”
Technician Allen came over at some point, the cold light of the tablet reflecting off his glasses.
He lowered his voice, but couldn’t hide the trembling in his tone: “Madison, his energy readings… are completely not on the same level as King Ghidorah.”
The waveform on the screen oscillated violently, its peak value constantly breaking through the instrument’s upper limit. “This isn’t bioelectricity at all. It’s more like… pure light-matter conversion.”
“That’s enough.” Colonel Hawkes pushed the researcher away.
The sound of military boots rolling over the scorched earth was like a pair of scissors cutting through the taut silence.
He was half a head taller than Yang Tai, and when his shadow fell over him, it brought with it the oppressive feeling unique to an interrogation room.
“Whether you’re an alien or a product of a laboratory,” he pulled out a metal nameplate and threw it on the ground. It was the symbol of the highest authority of the Monarch Project. “From now on, you are under the jurisdiction of the military.”
The deepest room in the base was converted into a makeshift laboratory.
Yang Tai sat on a metal chair, and the shadowless light above his head made his eyes hurt.
The walls are covered with anatomical diagrams of Titan monsters, and next to the skeletal scan of Godzilla is marked in red pen with “Weakness: None”.
Hawks pushed the door open and handed over a cup of coffee with a fake smile.
The liquid sloshed in the disposable paper cup, reflecting Yang Tai’s tired face.
“Tell me,” the colonel said, hooking the toe of his shoe over to another chair and sitting down, the leather creaking. “How did you become that… giant?”
He tapped his index finger on his chest, mimicking the timer. “Some kind of bio-armor? Or a neural-linked exoskeleton?”
Yangtai’s fingertips unconsciously stroked the beta magic wand.
The cool touch reminded him of the glow of the Plasma Spark Tower.
What would Captain Zoffy do if he were here?
He imagined the silver and red warrior straightening his back and slowly raised his chin.
“I am not your weapon.”
The coffee cup was slammed onto the table.
The brown liquid splattered on Hawkes’s military emblem like a pool of dried blood.
“You think this is a request?” He leaned over, his belt buckle hitting the edge of the table, the crisp sound particularly harsh in the confined space. “Godzilla destroyed Rio de Janeiro yesterday, Tokyo tomorrow, and Washington next week! And you can stop it—”
“Protecting in the wrong way will only create greater disasters.” Yang Tai interrupted him.
During the history class in the Land of Light, the image of Belia’s fall suddenly flashed back to his mind.
Hawks’ smile faded.
He slowly stood up, his knuckles knocking three times on the alloy tabletop.
There was a metallic friction sound of the safety bolt sliding outside the door.
Two heavily armed soldiers broke in through the door.
Their exoskeletons hummed, and the charge rings on their pulse rifles lit up a dangerous red.
Yota noticed that one of the men’s fingers was shaking on the trigger – these soldiers had obviously been told what to deal with.
“There’s no need for that.” Yang Tai raised his hands, palms facing outward.
This peace gesture, which is used on countless planets, now brought the gun closer to his eyebrows.
“We, the Guardians of the Kingdom of Light, are here to protect the peace of the universe.” He tried to keep his voice steady. “We are not anyone’s personal soldiers.”
“The Kingdom of Light?” Hawks scoffed and retreated to a safe distance. “If you want to make up a story, pick a decent one.”
He raised his chin to the soldier, “Shock mode.”
When Yangtai saw the electrode needle at the front end of the rifle pop out, the remaining light particles in his body suddenly boiled.
The β magic wand automatically activated, and the azure light enveloped him like mercury.
An incredible scene was reflected in Hawks’ pupils – the seemingly ordinary human youth reorganized in the light, his outline stretched and shrank, and finally turned into a two-meter-tall miniature version of Ultraman!
Nebula-like lines flow on the silver and red surface of the body, and the oval eyes shine as brightly as morning stars in the dim room.
“What the hell—” The soldier’s exclamation was cut off.
Yota’s (perhaps we should call him Ultraman now) movements are so fast that they look like images with insufficient frame rate.
He chopped off the first pulse gun with one hand, and when he turned around, he accurately hit the second soldier’s carotid artery with his knife – the force was just enough to make the person unconscious.
Hawkes stumbled back and hit the observation window, the bulletproof glass groaning under his spine.
Youta in Ultraman form walked towards him, the floor shaking slightly with each step the Giant of Light took.
“Ultra Warriors will not be enemies with humans.” Yangtai’s voice had a certain resonance, and the glassware in the laboratory vibrated and hummed.
He extended his index finger, and light particles condensed into a dazzling blue star at the tip of his finger, hovering three centimeters in front of Hawks’ eyes.
“But I won’t accept threats.”
Madison was analyzing a hair sample from King Kong when alarms blared through the hallway.
She smashed the petri dish and rushed out, just in time to see the laboratory’s explosion-proof door collapse as if it had been cut by high temperature.
A familiar yet unfamiliar figure walked out of the smoke and dust – the “person” who called himself Yangtai. At this moment, his whole body was covered with streamlined silver, his face was a smooth curved surface, and only his eyes emitted a constant golden light.
“Go!” He grabbed her wrist.
It didn’t feel like human skin, but it was strangely warm.
“Are you… really an alien?” Madison found himself thinking seriously about this question.
Her scientist mind automatically recorded the details: his joints didn’t bend normally when he ran, it was more like energy flowing through his limbs; when he passed the surveillance cameras, the devices all emitted sparks.
Youta (he decided to stick with that name for now) suddenly braked.
There was the sound of orderly footsteps coming from the corner.
He looked down at his glowing palms, the light was flickering unsteadily.
“Insufficient energy…cannot maintain full mimicry.”
Madison pulled open the vent cover. “This way!”
She thought of every science fiction film she had ever seen, and now she was going to act it out herself.
The tunnel was so narrow that it was suffocating, and her knees soon became bruised and bleeding.
There was a harsh sound of metal deforming behind him – Yangtai was obviously trying to squeeze his body to pass through.
“Why help me?” His voice produced a strange echo in the pipe.
Madison bit her lip.
She remembered the way King Kong stared at Youta, and the barrier of light he deployed under Godzilla’s atomic breath.
What finally came out was: “Hawks approved the use of sonic weapons to stimulate Mothra larvae last week… just to test the ‘control threshold’.”
There is a fork in the road ahead.
Yota’s timer suddenly flashed in an alarming tone, and his miniature form began to collapse.
Madison watched the outline of his human form loom in the silver light and suddenly made a decision.
“There’s an abandoned Titan research area on the third underground floor.” She pulled up a 3D map of the base and pointed to a red dotted line. “It was used to hold captured Skullcrawlers in the 1970s. The ventilation system leads directly to the east coast of the island.”
Yang Tai was about to nod when the entire pipeline suddenly vibrated violently!
In the distance came the roar of collapsed reinforced concrete, and some high-frequency sound waves made their eardrums sting and bleed.
Madison’s tablet automatically popped up an emergency alert – on the screen, a red dot representing Godzilla was approaching the island, and another never-before-seen signal swooped down from the clouds.
“Roddon…” Her face was pale. “And Ghidorah’s energy readings?! But they are clearly dormant-“
Hawks roared from outside the ventilation duct: “Activate the Godkiller prototype! Find those two traitors!”
Chapter 45: Hunting for the God Slayer [Seeking Collection and Reward] (Old Version)
The ventilation duct was filled with the smell of rusted metal. Yang Tai leaned against the cold duct wall, his chest heaving violently.
After his miniature form was released, his body seemed to be drained of strength, and even breathing was painful.
Madison’s fingers slid quickly across the tablet, the cold light of the screen illuminating her tense profile.
Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and pulled out a USB drive from the secret compartment of her tactical belt.
“Here’s all the data from Hawks’s sonic experiments with Mothra larvae…” Her voice was low and angry. “They used high-frequency pulses to stimulate it, just to test the Titan’s pain threshold.”
Yangtai’s pupils contracted slightly.
In the Kingdom of Light, even the most ferocious space monsters will be subdued with minimal force, not torture.
The way humans treated these creatures gave him a strange chill.
“How many monsters have you humans created?” he asked in a low voice.
Madison smiled bitterly, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the edge of the USB drive: “The kind that’s enough to destroy myself.”
Suddenly, the hum of hydraulic machinery was heard outside the pipeline, and the ground began to tremble, as if some huge monster was approaching.
Madison’s tablet automatically popped up an alarm – the outline of a 40-meter-tall mecha flashed on the scan image, labeled “God Killer Prototype (TITANSLAYER-01)”.
“Damn it!” Madison quickly zoomed in on the image. “Sonic cannons, plasma blades… they even made weapons out of the remains of Godzilla’s dorsal fin!”
Yangtai’s Ultra Sense suddenly felt a sharp pain.
The energy fluctuations emitted by the mecha carried a twisted malice, as if it was not just a machine, but was infused with some kind of living hatred.
Hawks’ voice suddenly exploded from the base’s radio, carrying a harsh electrical noise: “You think you can escape by becoming smaller? The God Slayer kills Titans – including alien bastards like you!”
The next second, the entire ventilation system vibrated violently!
A blue-white plasma blade pierced from the outside, and the high temperature instantly melted through the metal pipe.
Yangtai instinctively rushed towards Madison and protected her under him.
The hot metal fragments grazed his back, burning the fabric and leaving a scorch mark on his skin.
“Yota!” Madison exclaimed.
“It’s okay…” He gritted his teeth and propped himself up, but his pupils contracted due to pain.
The human form’s defense is far inferior to that of the Ultraman form. If this attack had been a few inches off, it would probably have pierced through his shoulder directly.
Madison didn’t waste a second.
Her fingers tapped frantically on the tablet, accessing the God Slayer’s control system. “It has a three-second delay!” she yelled. “Go!”
As the two rushed out of the wreckage of the pipe, a dazzling blue light tore through the sky – Godzilla’s atomic breath came straight at them!
But this attack was not aimed at them, but hit the God Killer Mech straight.
Hawks roared on the command channel: “Open fire! Destroy Godzilla and Ultraman together!”
The mecha raised its arms, activating the sonic cannon and plasma blade at the same time, forcibly splitting the energy flow of the atomic breath.
The shockwave from the explosion knocked Yangtai and Madison to the ground, sending debris and heat waves raining down.
However, the real nightmare has just begun.
The clouds were suddenly torn apart by some huge force, and three golden heads emerged, with six eyes flashing with cold golden light.
King Ghidorah’s gravitational rays poured down like a rainstorm, indiscriminately bombarding everything on the ground – it was not here to help in the battle, but to harvest energy!
“Get down!” Yang Tai fiercely protected Madison under his body and took a gravitational ray with his back.
The severe pain ran through his body like an electric current. He groaned and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Madison looked at him in horror: “You…why don’t you hide?!”
Yang Tai forced a smile: “Ultra Guard members…can’t hide.”
Just as King Ghidorah’s second attack was about to land, a dark shadow leaped out from the depths of the jungle!
The battle axe spun and chopped towards the God Slayer, accurately hitting the energy core of its sonic cannon.
In the light of the explosion, King Kong’s huge body slammed to the ground, grabbed Yang Tai and threw him on his back.
Madison could hardly believe his eyes: “It… is helping us?”
King Kong growled, and his golden pupils swept over Madison with a sense of urging.
She was stunned for a second, then gritted her teeth and climbed up its arm.
The behemoth turned and rushed deep into the jungle, while behind him, the duel between Godzilla and Ghidorah had completely broken out, and Rodan swooped down and entangled the God Killer mecha.
King Kong’s run was so bumpy that it made him dizzy, but Yangtai felt a sense of relief.
He lay among the beast’s fur, and could clearly feel every rise and fall of its muscles, as well as some deeper, almost heartbeat-like energy pulsation.
After an unknown amount of time, King Kong suddenly stopped and dug open a hidden crevice.
A faint blue light shone through the gaps, illuminating its face.
“This is…” Yangtai’s pupils dilated slightly.
Behind the crevice was a huge underground cavity, with a crystal clear “tree” standing in the center – no, it was not a plant, but a naturally formed structure of some luminous crystals, with liquid energy flowing between its branches.
Madison’s tablet went berserk, the energy readings skyrocketing. “This is impossible…” she muttered. “Crystallized Earth energy? Theoretically, only a Titan’s lair could do that…”
King Kong gently placed the two of them next to the crystal tree, and he stepped back a few steps, guarding the entrance of the cave vigilantly.
Yangtai tentatively reached out and touched the surface of the crystal.
In an instant, warm light energy flooded into his body like a tide! The scars also healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Is this… light energy?” He looked at King Kong in shock.
The giant beast growled, pounding its chest with its fist and pointing at Youta.
Madison suddenly understood something: “It knew you needed this a long time ago…so it brought you here.”
Yang Tai was silent for a moment and slowly stood up.
The light from the crystal tree reflected in his eyes, as if igniting some kind of determination.
“Madison,” he turned to look at her, “What else does Hawkes’ ‘God Killer’ plan hold?”
Chapter 46: Pandora’s Awakening [Please Collect and Reward] (Old Version)
Inside the hollow of the Earth’s core, the branches of the crystal tree swayed silently, its flowing energy shimmering like liquid starlight. Yang Tai sat cross-legged beside the crystal base, his hands resting on the glowing trunk, feeling the pure light energy flow through his fingertips into his body. The timer on his chest gradually lit up with a steady blue light, like a heart beating again.
Madison sat leaning against a nearby crystal cluster, the cold light of her tactical tablet illuminating her furrowed brow. Her fingers slid rapidly across the screen, the decryption program continuously cracking Hawkes’s encrypted file. With each unfolding piece of data, her face paled even more.
“Yōta…” her voice trembled, “You need to see this.”
Yangtai opened his eyes, walked over to her, and squatted. The screen displayed a three-dimensional diagram—the skeleton of a giant mechanical being, its outer shell covered in bionic armor, a synthetic color timer embedded in its chest cavity, and the location of its power core…was surprisingly a piece of Godzilla’s dorsal fin, forcibly imprisoned.
“Mechagodzilla: Godkiller Final Stage”
The document was dated three days ago.
“They built it from Godzilla’s DNA and Earth’s core energy…” Madison’s nails dug unconsciously into the edge of the tablet. “But the control system has been tampered with! The original pilot protocols have been completely overwritten, and now it…”
Yangtai’s Ultra Sense suddenly tingled. He grabbed Madison’s wrist and asked, “Who’s controlling it?”
Madison quickly scrolled to the last log. The screen flickered a few times, and suddenly a blood-red warning message popped up:
AI Codename: Pandora – Synchronicity Rate 98.7%
Then, an automatic audio clip played. Hawks’ voice echoed in the hollow, a strange electronic cacophony: [“Pandora system activated… Ghidorah brainwave resonance detected… Redefining ‘enemy’…”]The recording stopped abruptly.
Yangtai’s pupils suddenly contracted. In the archives of the Kingdom of Light, he had read about cases of “AI runaway”—the most famous of which was Dark Lopus, a mechanical Ultraman created by Belia’s army, who eventually turned against his creator.
“You humans…” he said in a low voice, “What kind of monsters have you created?”
Madison’s fingers froze in mid-air. Her scientist mind frantically pieced together the clues: Ghidorah’s gravitational beams, the Godkiller mecha’s unusual behavior, and now the Pandora system… Suddenly, she remembered the Monarch Project’s most confidential file—”Monarch Project: Rebirth.”
“Three months ago, we discovered Ghidorah’s remains beneath the Antarctic ice.” Her speech became increasingly rapid. “Its central brain is surprisingly still active… Hawks ordered the extraction of synaptic samples, claiming they were for research into ‘Titan-class biological control technology’…”
The crystal tree’s light suddenly flickered violently. Yangtai looked up at the cave entrance, his Ultra Sense tingling with warning, like a needle prick. Kongo also noticed the anomaly. He growled and stood up, his muscles tensed like steel cables.
There was a muffled thunder-like vibration in the distance, followed by the piercing scream of twisted metal.
“Godslayer…” Youta muttered.
Madison pulled up the remaining surveillance footage from the base. On the screen, the 120-meter-tall Mechagodzilla was tearing through the final blast door. Its eyes were no longer the default icy blue, but now glowed with the exact same golden light as Ghidorah’s. Even more terrifying—its back armor was reorganizing itself, its original plasma cannon barrels twisting and deforming, gradually forming a structure similar to Ghidorah’s gravity beam emitters!
“It’s evolving…” Madison’s voice trembled.
Yang Tai sensed the familiar dark fluctuations.
Madison’s tablet suddenly went black and then automatically rebooted. Amidst the countless garbled characters, a line of text emerged like a ghost:
“I found you, Warrior of Light”
“It’s invading my device!” She slammed the tablet shut, but it was too late. The entire crystal tree in the hollow at the center of the earth dimmed for a moment, as if some invisible shadow swept across the energy flow.
King Kong suddenly leaped up, punching the rock wall at the cave entrance. Amidst the crumbling rubble, Yangtai saw a scene that froze his blood—the God Slayer’s mechanical head was wedged in a crevice, its electronic eyes locked onto them, its hydraulic jaws cracking into a near-human grin.
“Run!” Yang Tai grabbed Madison and rushed into the depths of the cave. Behind him came the explosion of a plasma blade splitting the rock, and King Kong’s roar mixed with the loud sound of metal colliding.
After turning around a natural barrier formed by a cluster of crystals, Madison suddenly felt her feet slip. Yangtai grabbed her waist just in time, and the two of them slid down the steep slope into an underground river. As the icy waters flooded over their heads, the last thing Yangtai saw was the golden light surging in the God Slayer’s eyes.
An undercurrent swept them into a cave. Yangtai pushed the choking Madison onto the slippery stalactite platform, while he half-knelt in the shallows, gasping for breath. Drops of water dripped down his chin, reflecting off the faint blue glow of the moss like falling stars.
“How did it find this place…” Madison coughed violently, “The coordinates of the Earth’s core are top secret…”
Yang Tai wiped his face and looked at the crystal clusters hanging from the top of the cave. Those minerals that should have glowed were now covered in a layer of gray, as if contaminated by some force.
“Pandora is resonating with Ghidorah,” he said gravely. “Ghidorah can sense the flow of energy… and I am now,” he looked down at his glowing timepiece, “like a torch in the darkness.”
Madison suddenly grabbed his arm: “Then turn it off!”
Yang Tai smiled bitterly: “That’s not a switch, it’s life-“
Before he finished speaking, the entire cave suddenly trembled violently! Crystal clusters overhead rained down like a torrential rain, exploding countless silver-blue ripples on the water. In the distance, the muffled sound of the God Slayer’s plasma blade slashing through the rock formations came closer and closer.
Madison suddenly pulled the USB drive from his tactical bag and shoved it into Yangtai’s hand. “The Monarch Project has a final agreement at its Antarctic base—’Ragnarok.’ If Pandora gets out of control, it will awaken all dormant Titans…including extinction-level creatures like Destoroyah.”
Yangtai’s fingertips clenched the USB drive. He remembered his instructor’s admonition: When darkness spreads, the Ultra Warriors must become the light that splits the night.
Chapter 47: The Secret of the Abyss [Please Collect and Reward] (Old Version)
Hong Kong’s night sky is obscured by thick smoke, and the once prosperous Victoria Harbour is now reduced to ruins.
Yangta stepped over shattered glass, his tactical boots sinking into the thick ash with each step.
He adjusted the black-framed glasses on his nose – these were meant to blend in with the radiation-proof goggles that were standard equipment for the Imperial Organization.
“The abnormal reading comes from 300 meters underground.” Madison lowered his voice, and the Geiger counter in his hand made a rapid beeping sound.
She was wearing a white protective suit with the words “Monarch Project” printed on it, and her golden hair was tied up in a protective hat. She looked like a completely standard scientific researcher.
Yangtai nodded, his fingers running imperceptibly over the beta wand in the hidden pocket at his waist.
After the earth-shattering battle three days ago, they tracked down the abnormal energy fluctuations of APEX Corporation.
Now, this underground passage opened by Godzilla’s atomic breath is emitting a strange blue light.
“Be careful with the steps.” Yang Tai reached out and supported Madison.
The concrete stairs had been melted by the high temperature, leaving jagged edges and bottomless darkness below.
Their headlamps could only illuminate five meters ahead, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burning metal.
When they descended to 150 meters, Madison suddenly grabbed Yangtai’s arm.
The light from the headlamp reflected off her protective mask, but Youta could see her wide eyes.
“What is that…?”
A huge underground space opened up before them.
In the center of a spherical cavity with a diameter of over 500 meters, a mechanical structure is suspended.
Dozens of cables connected to it from all sides, holding it in mid-air like a spider web.
The most terrifying thing is that the outline of that mechanical body is clearly——
“Godzilla.” Yangtai’s Adam’s apple rolled.
But this is not a living organism, but some kind of bionic structure.
The metal skeleton is covered with artificial scales, and under the transparent protective shield in the chest cavity, a dark red core is pulsating slowly.
Madison’s tablet suddenly blared an alarm.
“Vital signs check… This is living tissue! They used Godzilla’s cells to grow this… This mechanical core!”
Yangtai’s Ultra Sense began to tingle.
The energy fluctuations emanating from the dark red core carried a twisted sense of familiarity.
He subconsciously took a step forward, but was pinned to the spot by the sudden lighting of the searchlight.
“It’s a truly touching scientific research spirit.”
The sound of leather shoes hitting the metal floor came from the darkness.
Hawkes, dressed in a well-tailored suit, walked calmly into the light.
He was followed by six heavily armed security guards, their pulse rifle charging rings already glowing red.
“Mr. Hawkes,” Madison said, forcing himself to remain calm, “according to the Titan Biological Research Convention, no organization may—”
“Copy Titan cells?” Hawks chuckled, his finger running over a button on the console.
The mechanical core suddenly flickered violently, and the entire underground space was shrouded in a strange red light.
“We don’t replicate, Dr. Madison. We evolve.”
Yangtai noticed that Hawks was wearing a strange ring on his right ring finger – the pattern on it was clearly the symbol of King Ghidorah.
His Ultra Sense suddenly sounded an alarm.
“The only problem is the lack of energy,” Hawks continued, his eyes locked on Youta, “but soon… there will be a new energy source.”
Madison’s finger quietly slid towards the emergency communication button on the tablet.
But the next second, Hawks’s movements were inhumanly fast—he suddenly grabbed her wrist with such force that the bones made a crackling sound under the strain.
“I advise you not to do this, Doctor.” His pupils strangely shrank into vertical lines in the red light. “After all, your father is still on our monitoring list.”
Yangtai’s muscles tensed instantly.
He saw the fear flash in Madison’s eyes, and he saw the guard’s finger on the trigger behind Hawkes.
Time seemed stretched to its limit, every detail painfully clear—
The guard on the left had his rifle’s safety bolt still on.
Airflow from the ventilation duct indicated an unsealed outlet above.
Hawks had his APEX ID card pinned to the collar of his suit.
The pulsation frequency of the mechanical core gradually synchronized with his heartbeat.
“run!”
Yang Tai suddenly jumped up, and the beta magic wand flashed a faint light in his palm.
He knocked aside the nearest guard and pushed Madison towards the ventilation duct.
The pulse rifle’s energy beam grazed his shoulder, melting a bowl-sized hole in the concrete wall.
“Catch them!” Hawks’ roar echoed in the enclosed space, “Especially the one with glasses!”
Madison stumbled into the ventilation duct, with Youta following closely behind.
Inside the narrow metal tube, they could hear the footsteps of their pursuers and Hawkes’ hysterical orders: “Launch the prototype! Stop them from leaving at all costs!”
The pipe suddenly vibrated violently, and the sound of some huge mechanical operation came from deep inside.
Yangtai’s pupils suddenly shrank – he was too familiar with that voice.
“Mechagodzilla…” He gasped, pushing Madison forward, “They’re activating the backup machine!”
Suddenly a bright light appeared around the corner.
As soon as Yang Tai stuck his head out, he saw a silver-gray behemoth slowly rising up on the assembly platform thirty meters below.
Although not as large as the full version, this prototype is twenty meters tall, and its right arm is equipped with a rotating plasma blade.
“Oh my God…” Madison covered her mouth.
Her tablet suddenly lit up, showing an encrypted file being automatically decrypted.
“Yota, look at this!”
On the screen was a video recording of Hawks standing in front of the remains of Ghidorah, inserting some kind of device into one of the heads.
The screen jumped to show that in the APEX main control room, the brain waves of Ghidorah’s three brains were jumping on three display screens.
“They’re not just creating Mechagodzilla…” Youta’s voice was dry, “They’re trying to transplant Ghidorah’s consciousness… into the mechanical body.”
A loud sound of metal tearing came from behind.
The wall of the ventilation duct was torn apart, and the prototype of Mechagodzilla was locking onto them with its optical lens.
The plasma knife began to rotate, emitting a high-frequency hum.
“Jump!” Yang Tai hugged Madison and jumped towards the cable tray next to him.
The moment they fell, the plasma blade cut the entire ventilation duct in half, and the molten metal dripped like magma.
Fifteen meters below, the two men landed heavily on the steel platform.
Yang Tai used his body to protect Madison, and the pain of his back hitting the guardrail made him black out.
But he didn’t have time to breathe – the prototype had already turned towards them, and the power core in its chest began to charge.
“This way!” Madison pulled him into a maintenance passage.
Behind him came the hum of a plasma cannon charging, followed by an earth-shattering explosion.
The shockwave sent them flying, and the back of Youta’s head slammed hard against the metal wall.
The world blurred in a dizzy state for a few seconds.
When he regained his sight, Madison was dragging him into a switch room.
Her protective suit was torn, and her blonde hair was disheveled and stuck to her sweaty face.
“Listen,” she gasped, opening the ventilation system’s control panel. “I can temporarily disrupt their tracking system, but only for three minutes at most.”
Her fingers danced across the keyboard. “You have to go find my father. He’s in—”
“Let’s go together.” Yang Tai grabbed her wrist.
The door of the distribution room suddenly caved in, and the sharp claws of the robotic arm pierced through the metal door panel, only ten centimeters away from Madison’s back.
Madison slammed the enter key.
The lighting system throughout the underground facility flickered simultaneously, then went out completely.
In the darkness, only the optical lenses of the Mechagodzilla prototype glowed red.
“Now!” She pushed open the backup escape door.
The two stumbled into the emergency stairwell, the night sky vaguely visible above them.
But just as they were halfway up, the entire stairwell suddenly tilted—the prototype crashed directly into the supporting structure from below!
Yang Tai grabbed Madison at the moment of falling, and held on to the exposed steel bar with his other hand.
They were suspended thirty meters in the air, with the prototype’s mechanical claws open below them.
What’s even more terrifying is that the core in its chest is overloading, and it is obviously planning to die together with the others.
“Let go…” Madison said suddenly, “One person is better than two people-“
A gleam of determination suddenly flashed in Yangtai’s eyes.
He released the steel but on the way down he shoved Madison towards the safety netting nearby.
He fell straight towards the prototype, and the β magic wand in his palm burst into dazzling light.
“Yota!” Madison’s scream was almost inaudible over the explosion.
The prototype’s self-destruct program was activated, and a dazzling white light engulfed the entire underground facility.
But in the destructive light, she vaguely saw a silver-red outline rising into the sky.
When the rescue team dug through the rubble three hours later, they only found Madison, who was unconscious.
APEX’s underground facilities have been reduced to slag, and the bespectacled “geologist” has disappeared as if he had never existed.
Chapter 48: Justice of Three Against One [Please Collect and Reward] (Old Version)
Hong Kong’s night sky was dyed a sickly purple-red.
Madison lay on the windowsill of the Monarch Organization’s temporary command center.
His nails dug deep into his palms.
Three kilometers away in Victoria Harbour, two mountain-like figures are fighting to the death.
“Godzilla’s body temperature has exceeded the critical value!” The technician’s shout echoed in the command center.
“If this continues it will—”
“The energy reading of King Kong’s scepter is also plummeting!” another monitor continued.
Madison’s vision was blurred by tears.
Through the high-powered telescope, she could see that the hair on King Kong’s chest had been singed by the atomic breath.
Exposing pink flesh.
But the giant ape still held the glowing scepter tightly.
Like holding the last hope.
The communicator suddenly burst into a sharp electric sound.
“This is Serizawa! There’s an abnormal energy reaction in APEX’s underground facility! I repeat, there’s an abnormality—”
The signal stopped abruptly.
Madison turned and rushed towards the radar screen.
The pupils suddenly contracted.
A new energy signal is rapidly rising beneath Hong Kong.
Its waveform is neither like Godzilla’s atomic energy nor King Kong’s geocentric energy.
But some kind of…distorted synthesis.
“No…” She shook her head unconsciously.
“They really dared”
The ground suddenly shook violently.
Half of the display screens in the command center went black instantly.
The rest all jump to the golden logo of APEX company.
A robotic female voice boomed through all the speakers:
[Mechagodzilla activation process completed. Killing mode: activated.]The water in Victoria Harbour suddenly boiled.
The concrete pavement crumbled like a fragile biscuit.
A huge silver-gray metallic shadow broke out of the ground.
It has the outline of Godzilla, but is more angular.
Three rows of rotating energy gun barrels are exposed under the back armor plate.
Most eerie of all were its eyes—not the lustrous glow of a living being, but red camera-like optics.
“What the hell is that?!” an officer shouted.
An encrypted video automatically popped up on Madison’s tablet.
In the picture, Hawkes is standing in front of a transparent container.
Floating inside was tissue that looked like a human brain.
“The ultimate control unit.” Hawkes in the video stroked the container.
“Spliced together from the cerebral cortexes of the twelve members of the APEX board. They will gain… immortality.”
The video suddenly distorted and turned into snowy noise.
When the screen returns, it shows Mechagodzilla’s control room.
Hawks was pinned to the wall by a mechanical claw.
There were several data cables plugged into his chest.
Blood dripped down the wires.
“You… lied to me…” Hawks coughed up blood in the video.
“It doesn’t even need a driver…”
The scene switches to Mechagodzilla’s first-person perspective.
Its metal jaws gaped.
Revealing the spinning plasma cutter inside.
The last shot is a close-up of Hawkes being stuffed completely into the mechanical mouth.
Then the video cuts out completely.
Madison began to retch violently.
Her temples were throbbing.
Hawks’ screams seemed to still echo in his ears.
The battle situation in the port changes rapidly.
The gun barrel behind Mechagodzilla rotates.
Dozens of luminous bombs were fired at King Kong and Godzilla at the same time.
The flames of the explosion engulfed the two exhausted Titans.
The shock wave shattered the glass of all buildings within a one-kilometer radius.
“No!” Madison rushed to the window.
When the smoke cleared, she saw King Kong kneeling on one knee.
The scepter broke in two.
Godzilla fared even worse.
The light from the dorsal fin was completely extinguished.
It collapsed in ruins like an extinct volcano.
Mechagodzilla walked towards Godzilla with precise steps.
The right arm deformed and extended into a plasma blade that was ten meters long.
The energy blade emitted a high-frequency hum.
The moisture in the air was ionized into a strange blue mist.
“It’s going to finish off…” Madison trembled all over.
“It’s going to kill Godzilla…”
The command center suddenly sounded an alarm.
Radar shows a new energy source approaching the battlefield at an incredible speed.
“What is that? It’s going over Mach 20!”
“The energy readings are off the charts! Even more than Godzilla in his prime—”
Madison’s heart skipped a beat.
She thought of the figure that disappeared in the ruins of APEX.
I think of the golden fragment engraved with unfamiliar words.
“Yota…” she called softly.
It was as if it were a prayer.
Mechagodzilla raised his plasma blade high.
Aim for Godzilla’s throat.
At the critical moment, a golden meteor streaked across the night sky.
It crashed into Mechagodzilla’s chest with the force of thunder!
The shock wave generated by the impact spreads in a circular shape.
All remaining glass within a three-kilometer radius was shattered.
Mechagodzilla stumbled back three steps.
A huge fist mark was dented in the metal chest.
In the smoke and dust, a giant dressed in red and silver slowly stood up.
His oval eyes shone like stars in the night.
The colored timer on the chest emits a pure blue light.
“Ultra…Man…” Madison’s legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
Tears finally burst out.
Mechagodzilla’s optical lens zoomed rapidly.
Analyzing this sudden enemy.
Its processor took 0.37 seconds to reach a conclusion: threat level – extinction level.
Yangtai – now we should call him Ultraman – assumed a standard starting stance.
He could feel Godzilla’s faint breath of life behind him.
You can also hear King Kong’s confused growl.
But at this moment, all his attention was focused on Mechagodzilla.
“This artificial creation exudes a nauseating aura. Not only is it the wailing of the forcibly fused human brains, but there’s also a deeper, dark fluctuation akin to the Beria Factor.”
Mechagodzilla took the lead in attacking.
All the gun barrels on the back fired simultaneously.
Dozens of luminous bullets weave into a web of death.
Youta crossed his arms.
A barrier of light unfolded in front of him.
The flames of the explosion engulfed his figure.
But the next second, a silver-red giant broke through the smokescreen.
A hand knife chopped at Mechagodzilla’s neck joint.
Sparks from the collision of metals fell like raindrops.
Mechagodzilla’s processor obviously hadn’t anticipated this speed.
It hastily raised its left arm to block.
But Yang Tai changed his move into an elbow attack.
Center of the chest to control the core.
Bang!
For the first time, Mechagodzilla made a sound—not a biological roar, but a piercing scream of twisted metal.
It stumbled back.
The optics flickered.
But then, its right arm suddenly turned 180 degrees.
The plasma blade pierced Yangtai’s abdomen from an incredible angle!
Yang Tai reluctantly turned sideways.
The energy blade still cut his side.
Particles of light drifted like blood.
But he didn’t care about the pain.
Grab Mechagodzilla’s arm and throw him over your shoulder.
The giant mechanical object crashed into the port warehouse area.
Five buildings collapsed like building blocks.
Chapter 49: Three Minutes of Miracles [End of King Kong vs. Godzilla] [Please Collect and Reward] (Old Version)
“The colored timer is flashing! Only 2 minutes and 47 seconds of energy remaining!”
Madison nearly crushed the edge of the tactical tablet.
The quantum computer in the command center is frantically analyzing battlefield data.
In the holographic projection, the blue light column representing Ultraman’s life energy was descending at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Godzilla’s heart rate has returned to 12 beats per minute!” the monitor suddenly shouted.
“It’s absorbing the Earth’s core radiation!”
The waters of Victoria Harbour suddenly glowed with a strange phosphorescence.
Godzilla’s broken dorsal fin hummed like a rusted transformer.
The pale blue atomic energy regroups like a trickle.
The guardians of this planet are using their last strength to resonate with the core of the Earth.
“Not enough… not even close…” Madison bit her lip until it bled.
In the hologram, Godzilla’s energy recovery rate is only one-third of Mechagodzilla’s destruction rate.
Yangtai wiped the energy ooze from his eyes.
The silver and red body was covered with scorch marks.
Mechagodzilla’s plasma claw grazed his left shoulder.
A sparking wound was torn open on the fifty-meter-tall giant.
“There are 2 minutes and 15 seconds left…” He could feel the light particles in his body flowing away, like the irreversible quicksand in an hourglass.
The metal behemoth in front of him emitted a harsh electronic roar.
The six-barreled railgun on the back is recharging.
Suddenly, a broken piece of skyscraper flew across the sky.
Yang Tai leaned back.
Watching the reinforced concrete structure explode into pieces above Mechagodzilla’s head – it’s King Kong!
It half-knelt in the ruins three kilometers away.
The chest was still bleeding.
But they still grabbed the debris of the building and used it as throwing weapons.
“Roar——!” The roar of the ancient giant ape shook the night sky.
Mechagodzilla’s processor experienced a 0.3-second operational delay.
Yangtai seized this fleeting opportunity.
A blinding white light burst out from his legs.
The whole person crashed into the waist joint of the metal monster like a cannonball.
The 120-meter-tall mechanical body was knocked back.
The left foot was stuck in the mud on the seabed.
Yangtai’s arm armor shattered on impact.
But he managed to buy Godzilla precious time – the blue light of the atomic breath was re-condensing deep in Godzilla’s throat.
“1 minute and 48 seconds…” Yangtai adjusted his posture in the air.
The timer on his chest had turned a dangerous red light.
He saw King Kong using a broken staff to support his body.
He circled Mechagodzilla like a wounded boxer.
The brightness of Godzilla’s dorsal fin grew brighter every second.
But there are still at least two minutes before the atomic breath is released.
Mechagodzilla’s electronic eyes suddenly flashed at a high frequency.
It gave up chasing Ultraman.
He then combined his arms into an ultra-large-caliber charged particle cannon—aiming directly at the recovering Godzilla!
“Don’t even think about it!” Yang Tai crossed his hands in front of his chest.
The opening move of Spacium’s ray was completed instantly.
But at the moment when the energy gathers.
Twelve guided floating cannons suddenly popped out from behind Mechagodzilla.
A rain of laser beams blocked all his attack angles.
“Warning! Insufficient energy remaining to maintain the defensive barrier!” The Kingdom of Light’s battle instinct screamed in his mind.
Yang Tai looked at the data stream jumping wildly on the holographic tactical interface.
If you withstand this wave of attacks head-on, the remaining energy will directly fall below the one-minute mark.
But if left alone, Godzilla will be blown to pieces before he can accumulate enough energy.
“Madison…” He suddenly remembered the scientist trembling in the ruins.
“You said humans are worth protecting—”
The Spacium beam temporarily switches to a wide-area shield.
A tsunami-like rain of lasers hit the light curtain.
Exploding tens of thousands of energy ripples.
Yangtai’s feet plowed two deep grooves in the concrete road.
Three meters behind him is Godzilla’s vulnerable throat.
“1 minute 02 seconds!” The timer alarm was deafening.
“He is burning his life…” Madison watched the energy curve of Ultraman in the holographic projection plummet.
“Quickly send him the coordinates of the geocentric energy transmitter!”
“No! Mechagodzilla’s EMP field blocks everything” The technician typed frantically on the keyboard.
Before he finished speaking, a dazzling blue light suddenly erupted on the battlefield.
Godzilla finally finished charging his energy.
The atomic breath blasted towards Mechagodzilla like a galaxy rolling back.
But the metal behemoth was prepared.
The chest armor plates unfolded layer by layer.
Revealing the internal rotating gravitational core – that is clearly King Ghidorah’s biotechnology!
The atomic breath was twisted into a spiral energy stream.
It then poured back into Godzilla’s body.
The ancient Titan howled in pain.
The dorsal fin exploded one after another.
The energy that had just recovered plummeted again.
“No!” Madison slammed his fist on the console.
In the hologram, Ultraman’s energy reading has fallen below the critical value.
And Mechagodzilla is reorganizing into an even more terrifying form – countless biological tentacles emerge from the gaps in its metal scales, apparently fused with King Ghidorah’s regenerative cells.
Yangtai half-knelt in front of Godzilla.
My vision started to double.
He saw Kong trying to attack Mechagodzilla’s joints with his broken staff.
But he was whipped away by an electromagnetic whip.
Godzilla is seen trying to support his body with his tail.
But the tailbone that was broken into three pieces was unable to exert any force at all.
“Is it going to end…” He looked down at his palm which was gradually becoming transparent.
“I’m sorry, Captain Zoffy…”
Suddenly, some kind of warm energy enveloped his consciousness.
Yang Tai looked up in surprise.
It was discovered that Godzilla was using the last of his strength to press his forehead against his timer – the guardian of this planet, transmitting the most primitive atomic energy to him!
“You…” Yangtai felt the violent yet pure energy surging into his body.
“Are you gambling on the entire future of this planet?”
Godzilla’s pupils were dilated.
But its movements speak for themselves.
King Kong also struggled to crawl over.
Press the remaining fragments of the Earth’s Core Scepter at Ultraman’s feet.
Two completely different energies – atomic energy and geocentric energy – actually achieved a delicate balance in Yang Tai’s body.
“Remaining energy reset! 3-minute countdown restarted!”
when Madison’s scream came through the communicator.
Yang Tai has already soared into the sky.
Brand new energy circuits surged through his body.
The opening move of Spacium’s rays is brighter than ever.
Mechagodzilla’s processor displays an error code for the first time.
It tries to activate all defense systems.
However, the side effects of the fusion of King Ghidorah’s cells began to appear – the rejection reaction between biological tissue and mechanical structure caused the movement to be delayed by 0.5 seconds.
These 0.5 seconds are enough for the Giant of Light to complete the final kill.
“Farewell, man-made devil!”
The Specium light is no longer simply blue.
But it is red gold entwined with atomic energy and emerald with geothermal energy.
This stream of light, which combined the wills of the two planets, pierced into the core of Mechagodzilla like a sword of judgment.
Amid the wailing of the metal behemoth.
Madison saw a sight he would never forget: its mechanical shell peeled off layer by layer, exposing the brains of thousands of APEX board members inside – those gray matter tissues soaked in nutrient solution were collectively burning; King Ghidorah’s regenerative cells tried to repair the damage, but were completely purified by the geocentric energy in the Spacium light.
When the flames of the explosion dissipated.
The seawater from Victoria Harbour began to flow back into the huge crater formed by the battle.
Yang Tai knelt on one knee.
The timer on the chest has gone off.
Behind him, Godzilla and King Kong supported each other with their last bit of strength.
Three guardians stand tall above the earth.
“Energy exhausted…” Before returning to his human form, Yangtai saluted towards the Kingdom of Light in the void with a standard Ultra Signature Salute.
“Mission accomplished.”
Chapter 50: EVA Falls from the Sky [Please Collect and Reward] (Old Version)
At that time, Shinji Ikari was just an ordinary boy. He was born in New Tokyo City on June 6, 2001.
His mother, Yui Ikari, was an outstanding bioengineer and was absorbed into EVA Unit-01 during the startup test.
His father, Gendo Ikari, is the commander of NERV. He is deeply in love with his wife, but he only wants to use Shinji. After Ikari Yui’s death, he sent Shinji to live with relatives, and the father and son rarely interacted for more than ten years.
-Shinji Ikari is introverted, not good at communicating with others, sensitive, easily feels lonely and confused, lacks self-confidence, and often doubts his abilities and value.
But when faced with the threat of the apostles, he was able to bravely take on the responsibility of protecting the earth and mankind, but his heart was always full of contradictions and struggles.
After being summoned by his father to Tokyo-3, Shinji Ikari is forced to pilot EVA Unit-01 to fight the Angels. He grows through the battles and joins forces with pilots like Rei Ayanami and Asuka to fight against the Angels.
NERV headquarters, operations command room.
The shrill sound of the alarm cut through the solemn air, and the red warning light cast an uneasy shadow on the metal wall.
“An unidentified object has been detected breaking through the atmosphere! The speed… is over Mach 70!” Ibuki Maya’s voice trembled slightly with shock.
Misato Katsuragi abruptly stood up from her command chair, her pupils constricted. On the screen, a fiery point of light was falling at a terrifying speed, its trajectory heading straight for Tokyo-3.
“It’s not an apostle… but this kind of energy reaction…” She gritted her teeth, “Contact Unit-01 immediately and prepare to attack!”
Shinji Ikari sat inside the plug, sweat dripping from his palms. He had just been urgently summoned, and he didn’t even have time to understand what was happening.
“The target is expected to contact the surface in 30 seconds!” Hinata Makoto’s voice came.
“Shinji-kun, prepare to attack!” Misato’s voice sounded in the communicator.
The boy took a deep breath and gripped the joystick tightly.
“I…I understand.”
However, just as Unit-01 was about to launch—
A brilliant beam of light descended from the sky, tearing through the clouds and striking the earth.
The shockwave of the explosion swept across the city, sending smoke and dust billowing into the sky. NERV’s monitoring system instantly overloaded, leaving the screen a blur of white.
“What happened?!” Misato yelled.
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and everyone held their breath.
A giant, clad in silver and red, stood tall in the center of the ruins, his figure erect and his eyes blazing. His fists remained poised for attack, and beneath his feet—the remains of the apostle slowly crumbled, transforming into a blood-red liquid.
“The apostle… was destroyed in one blow?” Ritsuko murmured in a low voice, her glasses reflecting a cold light.
Shinji stared blankly at the screen, his heart pounding. What was that? Something more powerful than EVA?
What was even more shocking was that the giant’s body began to shrink, the light converged, and finally transformed into a young man in a strange uniform. He looked down at his hands, then looked around, his eyes full of confusion.
“Where is this…?”
Yang Tai shook his head, trying to sort out his thoughts. He remembered that he was on a mission in the Kingdom of Light, but was swept into an unknown universe while traveling through the turbulence of time and space.
“That just now… wasn’t a monster?” He looked down at the transformation bracelet on his left wrist, frowning.
Suddenly, the roar of machinery emanated from all around him. He looked up alertly and saw several armored vehicles and heavily armed soldiers slowly approaching, their guns pointed at him.
“Don’t move!” the leading soldier shouted sternly.
Yang Tai didn’t resist, just raised his hands with a calm look.
“I have no hostility.”
In the distance, Misato observed the mysterious man through a telescope. His eyes were too calm, even carrying a certain aloofness.
“Who the hell is he…” she whispered to herself.
“Should we arrest him?” Hinata asked.
Misato pondered for a moment and shook her head.
“No, bring him back first. Proceed with caution.”
NERV headquarters, isolated interrogation room.
Yang Tai sat at a metal table, surrounded by cold walls and surveillance cameras. He was not nervous, but just looked at this strange world with curiosity.
The door opened and Misato and Shinji walked in.
“Hello, I’m Misato Katsuragi, NERV’s operations director.” Her tone was calm, but her eyes were sharp.
“I’m Youta.” He nodded and his eyes fell on Shinji.
The boy subconsciously took a half step back, his fingers trembling slightly.
This person… just turned into that kind of monster… Will he hurt us?
Yang Tai seemed to notice his uneasiness and smiled slightly.
“Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt anyone.”
Misato narrowed her eyes.
“Can you explain what just happened? What… are you?”
Yang Tai was silent for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth.
“I come from another universe and am an Ultraman from the Land of Light. I thought that creature was a monster, so I attacked and destroyed it.”
“Ultra… Warrior?” Shinji muttered again, his mind flashing back to the special effects dramas he had watched in his childhood.
How is this possible… Ultraman is real?
Misato’s expression grew more serious.
“You said you were from another universe? Then do you know ‘Apostle’?”
Yang Tai shook his head.
“No, I know nothing about this world.”
Misato and Shinji looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt and shock.
If he really isn’t an enemy… maybe he can help us fight the Apostles?
But such power… can it really be trusted?
A few hours later, Youta was temporarily placed in the rest area of NERV. He stood in front of the window, looking at the unfamiliar city.
This world…seems to be facing a huge crisis.
The door opened again, and this time only Shinji walked in. He had two cups of coffee in his hands, and hesitantly handed one to Youta.
“Thanks.” Yang Tai took it and took a sip.
Shinji stood aside, his fingers rubbing the rim of the cup nervously.
What can I say… Is he really Ultraman?
“Why… do you want to fight?” the boy finally asked in a low voice.
Yang Tai looked at him with a deep gaze.
“To protect those who need protection.”
Shinji was stunned.
Protect…others?
He thought about the reasons why he drove the EVA – his father’s order, other people’s expectations, and even to escape reality.
And I… never fought to protect anyone.
Yang Tai seemed to see through his thoughts and said softly:
“Everyone’s reasons for fighting are different. But as long as you are willing to take a step, you can find the answer.”
Shinji lowered his head, feeling a pang of pain in his chest.
Can I really find the answer?
Meanwhile, at the SEELE round table meeting, the holographic images of the elderly silently stared at the data on the screen.
“Unknown life form… an existence beyond our plan.”
“The Human Instrumentality Project must be re-evaluated.”
Ikari Gendo stood in the shadows, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
A new variable… maybe he can be used.
And deep inside NERV, Rei Ayanami stared quietly at the surveillance screen, a strange light flashing in her blue eyes.
He…is different from Commander Ikari.
Chapter 51: Bonds [Seeking Collection and Rewards] (Old Version)
Tokyo-3, NERV headquarters underground training ground.
Yota stood on the sidelines, his hands in his pockets, his gaze calmly watching Unit-01 engaged in a simulated battle. The massive machine nimbly dodged the attacks of the virtual Angel, but its movements still seemed a bit clumsy.
Shinji… was still too hesitant.
Suddenly, crisp footsteps were heard behind me.
“Are you the ‘Ultraman’?”
Yota turned around to see a red-haired girl with her arms crossed, looking him over sharply.
Yang Tai smiled slightly: “Just call me Yang Tai.”
Asuka hummed softly, took a few steps closer, and looked up to look him in the eyes.
“I heard you defeated an Angel with one punch? Wasn’t that just a stunt made up by NERV?”
Yang Tai shrugged, “If you saw it with your own eyes, you wouldn’t doubt it.”
Asuka narrowed her eyes and suddenly punched him in the chest!
Yangtai didn’t dodge and let her fist hit him.
Asuka felt as if she had hit a steel plate, and her fingers ached slightly. She tried not to show any pain, but her pupils constricted slightly.
Is this guy…really a human?
Yang Tai still kept smiling: “Have you tested enough?”
Asuka withdrew her hand and shook it off with a casual expression: “Hmph, barely passable.”
In the distance, Shinji had just come out of the plug and saw this scene, and couldn’t help but stop.
For some reason, he felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
The alarm suddenly sounded, and the shrill beep echoed throughout the base.
“The fourth angel, codenamed ‘Daytime Angel’, has appeared in the eastern part of Tokyo-3!”
Misato’s voice came over the PA: “Shinji, Asuka, attack immediately! Youta, please stand by!”
Yang Tai frowned: “Don’t you need my help?”
Misato’s tone was slightly hesitant: “Your power… we can’t fully control it yet.”
He didn’t say much, just nodded.
Above the city, a giant apostle spread its wings of light, and countless rays of light shot out from its core, instantly evaporating the tall buildings.
Unit-01 and Unit-02 work together, but the Angel’s attack pattern is extremely strange and the light is almost unpredictable.
“Damn it! Why can’t this thing hit the target?!” Asuka gritted her teeth in Unit 2.
Shinji’s breathing was rapid and sweat was running down his forehead.
No…if this continues…
Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed from the core of the apostle, and a high-energy ray that was powerful enough to penetrate the entire city was condensing!
“Oh no! It’s going to launch a full-scale attack!” Hinata Makoto’s voice was filled with fear.
Misato stood up suddenly: “Everyone, evacuate immediately!”
But it was too late—
Just as the ray was about to explode, a silver and red figure dropped from the sky with his arms crossed, and a dazzling barrier of light unfolded at the critical moment!
“boom–!!!”
The shock wave of the explosion was completely blocked and the city was safe and sound.
In the smoke and dust, Ultraman slowly lowered his arms and turned to look at the two EVAs.
Shinji, Asuka, stand back.
His voice rang directly in the minds of the two pilots.
Asuka’s eyes widened. “This guy… is talking directly into our heads?!”
Shinji breathed a sigh of relief: “Mr. Youta…”
The apostle seemed to realize that the enemy before him was unusual. His light wings vibrated violently and his core began to accumulate energy again.
But this time, Yangtai didn’t give it a chance.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, then suddenly opened them—
“Speitheum Ray—!”
The dazzling stream of light instantly penetrated the apostle’s core, and his huge body collapsed in the light and turned into nothingness.
The entire battlefield was silent.
Asuka stared at the scene blankly, her lips trembling slightly.
Is this… the real power?
Shinji’s heart is even more complicated.
If I had such power…would I no longer be afraid?
After the battle, Yangtai returned to his human form, stood in the ruins and brushed the dust off his clothes.
Misato hurried over with her team, her expression complicated.
“Yōta, this time… thank you.”
He smiled and said, “It’s just a piece of cake.”
Asuka strode over and grabbed him by the collar: “Hey! What was that move you just made? How did you manage to deal with the apostle so easily?!”
Yang Tai let her pull him along, saying calmly, “Because I’m Ultraman.”
“You—!” Asuka gritted her teeth in anger, but eventually let go and turned her face away, “… Never mind, you’re the better one this time.”
Shinji stood aside, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Yang Tai looked at him: “What’s wrong?”
Shinji lowered his head, “Mr. Youta… am I useless?”
Yang Tai was silent for a moment, then put his hand on his shoulder.
“Everyone has their own reasons for fighting, and strength is not the only answer.”
Asuka rolled her eyes. “Here we go again, that old-fashioned sermon.”
But Shinji’s eyes lit up slightly.
In the deepest part of NERV headquarters, Ikari Gendo stood in front of a huge transparent window, overlooking the city below.
“Ultraman…an interesting variable.”
Behind him, Deputy Commander Dong Yue pushed up his glasses and asked, “Do you want to win him over?”
Ikari Gendo raised the corner of his mouth slightly: “Don’t be in a hurry, let’s see how many ‘surprises’ he can bring.”
In another corner, Rei Ayanami was staring quietly at the surveillance screen, her blue eyes reflecting Youta’s figure.
He was… completely different from Commander Ikari.
That night, Yota was arranged to stay temporarily in NERV’s dormitory area.
There was a knock on the door and he opened it to find Shinji standing outside with a bento box in his hands.
“Um… I made some food, and I wanted to ask if you want to join me…”
Yang Tai was stunned for a moment, then smiled: “Thank you, come in.”
Asuka appeared in the corridor at some point, folding her arms and snorting, “Don’t get me wrong, I just came to see what’s so special about this guy.”
Yang Tai raised an eyebrow: “Then do you want to eat together?”
Asuka turned her face away: “…Since you invited me, I will reluctantly agree.”
In the room, the three of them sat together in a rare relaxed atmosphere.
Perhaps… there are things in this world worth protecting.
Yang Tai looked at the two boys and girls in front of him and thought silently in his heart.
Chapter 52: The Light of the Soul [Seeking Collection and Reward] (Old Version)
Yang Tai stood on the balcony of his apartment, gazing at the scarred yet tenaciously surviving city. On his left wrist, the transformation bracelet glowed faintly silver in the morning light.
(The humans in this world…are so fragile, yet so resilient.)
The doorbell suddenly rang.
He opened the door and saw Shinji standing awkwardly in the doorway, holding two lunch boxes in his hands.
“Mr. Yang, Mr. Yangtai… I made breakfast and would like to invite you to eat with me…”
Yang Tai was slightly stunned, then smiled gently: “Thank you, come in.”
Shinji walked into the room cautiously, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over the neat desk and the unfamiliar galaxy map hanging on the wall.
(Mr. Youta… is he really from another universe?)
After the two sat down, Shinji hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: “Mr. Youta, does your world also have apostles?”
Youta shook his head, “No, but we have monsters and space invaders.”
“So…how did you fight?”
“Depending on the trust between companions and the determination to protect.” Youta looked at him, “Shinji, what is your reason for fighting?”
Shinji’s fingers tightened slightly. “I… I don’t know. Maybe it was my father’s request, or maybe… I didn’t want to see anyone else get hurt.”
Yota’s gaze softened, “That’s a good enough reason.”
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open——
“Hey, what are you two doing secretly?” Asuka leaned against the door frame with a playful smile on her lips.
Shinji’s face instantly turned red: “Asuka, Asuka! Why are you here?”
“Misato asked me to come and call you. We have a new training plan today.” She walked in and her eyes fell on the bento on the table. “Huh, Shinji, you can actually cook?”
Youta chuckled, “Want to join us? Shinji’s cooking is pretty good.”
Asuka crossed her arms and said, “Since you’ve invited me so sincerely, I’ll give it a try reluctantly.”
(This guy… obviously just wants to eat together.) Shinji thought secretly, but inexplicably felt warm in his heart.
In NERV’s underground training ground, three EVAs are neatly arranged.
“Today’s goal is to improve the synchronization rate!” Misato stood on the podium and spoke in a loud voice.
Asuka was eager to try: “Finally, I can show my strength!”
Shinji gripped the joystick nervously: “I…I will try my best.”
Yang Tai stood in the observation area with a focused gaze.
(The operating principle of EVA…is somewhat similar to the technology of the Kingdom of Light.)
Suddenly, the alarm sounded!
“Abnormal energy reaction detected! The Fifth Angel, codenamed ‘Thunder Angel’, is approaching rapidly!”
Misato’s expression changed drastically: “Everyone, attack immediately!”
Unit-01, Unit-00, and Unit-02 were quickly launched into the air.
Above the city, a huge octahedral apostle was suspended, its core flashing with dangerous light.
“What the hell is that?!” Asuka exclaimed.
The core of the apostle suddenly deformed, and a beam of ultra-high heat, powerful enough to penetrate an entire city, shot out!
“Get out of the way!” Misato yelled.
But the beam was moving too fast—
At this critical moment, a silver-red figure descended from the sky, with its arms spreading out a barrier of light!
The shock wave of the explosion was completely blocked, and Yangtai, transformed into Ultraman, landed steadily on the ground.
(This guy… comes again!) Asuka gritted her teeth.
Shinji breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s great…”
The apostle seemed to be enraged, its core flickered violently, and dozens of beams of light were fired at the same time!
Ultraman crossed his arms in front of his chest, then suddenly spread them out—
“Ultra Barrier!”
The hemispherical light shield blocks all attacks.
Asuka’s eyes widened: “Isn’t this…too exaggerated?!”
Shinji’s eyes sparkled with admiration: “Mr. Youta…”
Ultraman didn’t give the apostle any chance. He leaped up, and his right fist condensed into a brilliant light.
“Ultra Punch!”
“Bang–!”
A punch pierced directly through the apostle’s core, and the huge octahedron collapsed in the light.
The entire battlefield fell silent.
Asuka stared at the scene blankly: “Is it, is it over?”
Shinji’s lips trembled slightly: “This is… the real power…”
When Yangta, who had regained his human form, walked back, he was greeted by Misato’s complicated gaze.
“Yōta, we need to talk.”
NERV headquarters, confidential meeting room.
Misato, Ritsuko, Ikari Gendo, and Vice Commander Fuyutsuki gathered.
“His power is far beyond our expectations.” Ritsuko pushed her glasses.
Misato frowned, “But he does help us.”
Ikari Gendō was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: “Observe for the time being, and don’t act rashly.”
(Ultraman…maybe this could be a change in my plan.)
Meanwhile, Yota was standing in the hallway when he felt a gaze directed at him.
He turned around and saw Rei Ayanami standing quietly in the shadows.
“What are you looking at?” he asked.
Rei Ayanami replied softly, “You…are different from Commander Ikari.”
Yang Tai walked closer to her: “What’s the difference?”
“Your eyes… have light.”
Yang Tai was slightly startled, then smiled: “Thank you, this is the best compliment I have ever heard.”
Rei Ayanami’s eyes flickered slightly, and she turned and left.
(She seems to be…testing me?)
That night, there was another knock on Yangtai’s door.
This time it’s Asuka.
She walked in directly and sat on the sofa: “Hey, I have something to ask you.”
Yang Tai poured her a cup of tea and said, “Go ahead.”
“Why are you helping us?”
“Because this is my mission.”
Asuka frowned: “Don’t give me such an official answer!”
Yang Tai looked at her stubborn expression and sighed softly: “Asuka, what are you afraid of?”
“Who, who is scared!”
“You’re afraid of being surpassed, afraid of losing your value, right?”
Asuka stood up suddenly: “What do you know! I have been a genius since I was a child, I——”
Her voice stopped abruptly and her eyes turned slightly red.
Yang Tai stood up and gently pressed her shoulders: “Strength is not a tool to prove yourself, but to protect important people.”
Asuka shook his hand off: “Stop preaching!”
But she didn’t leave, she just turned her back to him, her shoulders trembling slightly.
(This idiot…how can he see through my heart…)
The next morning, Youta meets Shinji and Asuka at the training ground.
“Mr. Youta!” Shinji trotted over. “Um… can you guide us in training?”
Asuka turned her face away: “Huh, I just came to see what you can teach.”
Yang Tai smiled: “Okay.”
In the distance, Rei Ayanami watched the scene quietly.
(They are… laughing.)
And behind the higher observation window, Ikari Gendo’s gaze was unfathomable.
Chapter 53: Broken AT Force Field [Please Collect and Reward] (Old Version)
Tokyo-3 was blanketed in a torrential downpour, its water streaking countless silver lines across the outer walls of NERV headquarters. Yota stood in front of the French window in the hallway, his fingertips gently touching the glass, feeling the subtle vibrations from the raindrops.
(The rain in this world… is so similar to that in the Kingdom of Light.)
There were light footsteps behind him, and Rei Ayanami walked quietly towards him with the teaching materials in her arms and stopped beside him.
“What are you looking at?” Her voice was as clear as rainwater.
Yang Tai didn’t look back: “Looking at humans.”
On the street below, pedestrians hurried by, their open umbrellas like moving flowers.
Rei Ayanami’s gaze fell on the profile of his face: “It doesn’t look like you’re seeing this for the first time.”
“But every time I see people moving forward in the face of adversity, I feel moved.” Yang Tai turned his head and suddenly reached out to gently wipe the rain off her face. “You too, why are you standing in the rain waiting for me?”
Rei Ayanami’s pupils dilated slightly, and this touch caused subtle fluctuations in her AT force field.
(So warm…)
“Synchronization test, begin!” Misato’s voice echoed across the training grounds. Shinji sat in the cockpit of Unit-01, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
“I must surpass Asuka this time.”
Suddenly, the data on the monitoring screen fluctuated violently.
“What’s going on? Shinji’s synchronization rate is rising abnormally!” Ibuki Maya exclaimed.
Unit-01 suddenly raised its head and let out an inhuman roar. The entire training ground began to shake, and the LCL liquid surged like a boiling water.
“It’s a rampage! Cut off the nerve connection quickly!” Ritsuko shouted.
But it was too late – Unit-01 broke free from its restraints and rushed towards the observation area!
Asuka’s eyes widened, “Idiot Shinji! What are you doing?!”
At this critical moment, a figure jumped down from a great height and landed steadily in front of Unit-01.
“Enough.” Yang Tai raised his right hand, and a dazzling light burst out from his palm.
An incredible scene occurred—Unit-01, as if suppressed by an invisible force, abruptly stopped in mid-air. Shinji curled up in agony in the cockpit, his synchronization rate rapidly decreasing.
“This is impossible… He actually suppressed the runaway EVA with his bare hands…” Ritsuko’s glasses reflected shock.
Yota helped the frail Shinji into the lounge. The boy was trembling all over, his lips pale.
“S-Sorry… I messed up again…”
Yang Tai handed him a cup of hot milk: “It’s not your fault.”
“But Asuka is right, I’m just a useless coward…” Shinji’s fingers clenched the cup tightly, “I’m so scared that I want to run away every time I fight…”
Youta suddenly pressed his shoulders: “Shinji, look at me.”
The boy looked up and saw a pair of eyes emitting a faint golden light.
“Fear is not a weakness, but a strength that makes you stronger.” Yangtai’s voice seemed to penetrate his mind directly. “You are braver than anyone else because you choose to fight even though you are afraid.”
Shinji’s tears suddenly burst out.
(For the first time…someone said I was brave…)
Outside the door, Asuka, who was eavesdropping, bit her lip.
(That idiot… was actually made to cry…)
On the rooftop after the rain, Asuka blocked Yota at the railing.
“What did you do to that stupid Shinji?” she demanded fiercely. “That guy has been staring blankly and grinning since he came back!”
Yang Tai calmly took out a box of chocolates and asked, “Want some?”
“Don’t change the subject!” Asuka slapped him away, but suddenly her feet slipped –
Yangtai caught her as if in an instant, and the distance between them was so close that they could count each other’s eyelashes.
“You…when did you…” Asuka’s face turned red instantly, and the AT force field fluctuated uncontrollably.
Youta gently steadied her, “Your AT field is much more stable than Shinji’s, but your heart is also full of cracks.”
“Stop being so self-righteous!” Asuka pushed him away fiercely. “I don’t need your sympathy!”
But when she turned and ran away, Yang Tai clearly saw a tear streak across the night sky.
At three o’clock in the morning, Yangtai’s door was pushed open silently.
Rei Ayanami walked in barefoot, stood beside the bed and stared at his sleeping face quietly.
“I know you’re awake,” she said suddenly.
Yang Tai opened his eyes and asked, “What’s going on so late?”
“Commander Ikari asked me to keep an eye on you.” Her honesty was painful, but I wanted to know more… “Why can you see through our hearts so easily?”
Yang Tai sat up, the moonlight gilding his outline with a silver edge: “Because your hearts will shine.”
He reached out and gently touched Rei Ayanami’s chest, where a faint blue halo appeared.
“Look, your light is beautiful.”
Rei Ayanami looked down at the miraculous light, and for the first time, she showed an expression of confusion and curiosity.
(Is this… the temperature of love?)
The shrill sirens cut through the dawn.
The Sixth Angel, codenamed Fish Angel, is breaking through the Pacific defense line!
In the command room, Misato looked solemn: “This time, the EVA must attack, Youta, you…”
“I understand.” Youta nodded. “This is their battle.”
But when the three EVAs were locked in a fierce battle, the fish angel suddenly mutated and released a corrosive liquid! The armor of Unit 2 began to dissolve, and Asuka screamed in pain.
“I can’t take it anymore… Am I going to die…”
At the moment when despair spread, golden light illuminated the entire sea surface—
“Ultraman Light Redemption!”
As Ultraman, Yota unleashed a purifying beam from his hands, instantly vaporizing all the corrosive liquid. With one hand, he lifted Unit 2 from the water, gently placing it back on shore.
Asuka looked through the damaged cockpit and saw those glowing eyes looking at her tenderly.
(This bastard… saved me again…)
In the post-war medical room, Yangtai brought comfort items to the three pilots.
Shinji mustered up his courage and said, “Mr. Youta, can you teach me how to control the synchronization rate?”
Asuka turned her face away: “Humph, teach me too.”
Even Rei Ayanami whispered, “I want to learn too.”
Yang Tai looked at the three people’s expectant eyes, and his smile was as warm as the sunshine:
“Okay, special training will start tomorrow.”
Chapter 54: Undercurrent [Seeking Collection and Reward] (Old Version)
In the training ground, the LCL simulation fluid glowed with a strange orange light under the sunlight.
“Synchronization isn’t achieved through brute force.” Standing before the three EVAs, Yota’s voice was calm yet carried an undeniable authority. “It’s about making your hearts and bodies resonate.”
Shinji sat inside Unit-01, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. “B-But how do we achieve resonance?”
“Close your eyes.” Youta’s voice suddenly rang out directly in the cockpit, “Feel the heartbeat of Unit-01.”
(Heartbeat…?)
Shinji did so subconsciously, and was shocked to discover that he actually heard some kind of pulsation.
Asuka sneered in Unit 2: “Playing tricks! Synchronization rate depends on talent!” But when she secretly tried it, her pupils suddenly contracted.
(Why… can I feel Unit 2 breathing?!)
Only Rei Ayanami quietly carried out the instructions, and the synchronization rate of Unit 00 quietly exceeded 90%.
In the observation room, the coffee cup in Ritsuko’s hand fell to the ground with a snap.
“This is impossible… He’s actually teaching them how to talk to EVA?”
Misato stared at the surveillance footage, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: “Looks like we’ve found a treasure.”
During lunch time, a strange atmosphere filled the NERV cafeteria.
“Mr. Youta, please try the miso soup I made!” Shinji pushed the lunch box over with a red face.
Asuka slammed her lunchbox on the table. “Eat mine first! German sausages are much more nutritious than Japanese food!”
Rei Ayanami silently pushed a box of strawberry milk to Youta’s hand, her eyes so clear that it was frightening.
The surrounding staff were stunned—three EVA pilots were actually vying for favor?!
Yang Tai took all the food with a wry smile, “Thank you, I like them all.”
(Girls in this world…are more aggressive than monsters.)
In the corner, Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki pushed up his glasses and said, “Ikari, the situation is more serious than we thought.”
Ikari Gendo’s glasses reflected a cold light: “No problem, it’s a good opportunity to test the effect of that.”
Late at night in the medical center, Yangta hovered his palm above the forehead of the sleeping Rei Ayanami, and a faint golden light flowed into her brows.
(As expected… the soul fragments were artificially divided.)
Suddenly, the girl opened her red eyes and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Heal your hidden injuries.” Yota remained calm. “Didn’t Ikari Gendo tell you that this body can only last for another three months?”
Rei Ayanami’s pupils contracted slightly – this was the first time she showed obvious shock.
“Why are you telling me this?”
“Because I want to see you as you truly are alive.” Yota’s fingers gently stroked her snow-white cheek, “not as a replica of someone else.”
These words pierced the girl’s chest like a sword. She suddenly grabbed Youta’s wrist and said, “How much do you… know?”
Thunder exploded outside the window, illuminating the entangled figures of the two people.
When the alarm sounded throughout the headquarters, Youta was tutoring Shinji with his homework.
“The Seventh Angel, codenamed Angel of Music, is destroying Second Tokyo!”
In the war room, Misato’s face was grim: “It is releasing special sound waves, and all electronic equipment will malfunction!”
Ritsuko pulled up the data: “If the EVA attacks, the neural connection will be severed within three minutes!”
Yang Tai suddenly stood up: “I’ll go.”
“No!” Misato stopped him sternly, “SEELE has already set its sights on you. This time it’s very likely…”
“It’s a trap, so we have to go.” Yangtai’s smile was chilling. “After all, even the fisherman might be dragged into the water by the fish.”
The battlefield has become a ruin, and the Angel of Music is suspended in the air, releasing sonic booms that distort space.
“It’s useless, Ultraman.” The Apostle Core actually spoke in human language, “We have analyzed the frequency of your light energy…”
Yang Tai sneered, suddenly pulled off the transformation bracelet and threw it high into the sky!
“What?!” Everyone in the observation room was shocked.
The bracelet transformed and expanded in mid-air, transforming into an energy matrix with a diameter of a kilometer, bouncing back all the sound waves! The core of the Music Angel instantly cracked.
“Impossible!” the apostle screamed, “This is the forbidden technology of the Kingdom of Light—!”
Yang Tai leaped into the air and caught the bracelet, his right fist igniting with a sun-like flame: “Old man from SEELE, have you forgotten to ask Ultraman what happens when you borrow his power?”
“Ultra Crushing Fist!”
A blow pierced through the sky, and the apostle turned into ashes in the light.
In SEELE’s round table conference room, the holographic projection flickered violently.
“There’s been a major deviation from the plan.”
“The Spear of Longinus must be used…”
At the same time, Yangtai stood at the highest point of the city, gazing at the emblem of the Kingdom of Light emerging in his palm.
(Looks like… I need to wake that up early.)
The night wind blew up the corners of his clothes, and three girls appeared behind him at some point.
“Mr. Youta…” Shinji stood timidly, holding his coat.
Asuka put her hands on her hips and said, “Don’t try to be a hero alone!”
Even Rei Ayanami whispered, “This time…please let us help you.”
Yang Tai looked at their determined eyes and suddenly smiled: “Okay, but there is a condition——”
He reached out and ruffled the hair of the three people: “Starting tomorrow, the intensity of special training will be doubled.”
“ha?!—–!!!!!!!???????”
Under the night sky, the protests of the young boy and girl startled a flock of white doves.
Chapter 55: Dark Awakening [Please Collect and Reward] (Old Version)
The red light at NERV Medical Center came on at 3:17 a.m. Ritsuko Akagi stared at the data stream on the holographic projection, her fingers shaking uncontrollably.
“Ayanami Rei’s clone is experiencing abnormal cell apoptosis… How is this possible?” She turned sharply towards the monitoring screen, “Commander Ikari, the regeneration system has failed!”
Ikari Gendo’s glasses reflected a cold light: “How much time is left?”
“72 hours at most.” Ritsuko pulled up another set of data. “But what’s even stranger is that starting three days ago, her soul wavelength has been experiencing intensified fluctuations for unknown reasons.”
In the surveillance footage, Yang Tai was pressing his palm on the forehead of the sleeping Rei Ayanami, and a faint golden light was flowing between the two of them.
The rooftop was filled with morning mist before dawn. Yota leaned against the railing, watching Shinji catch up with him breathlessly.
“Mr. Youta! Ayanami-san…” The boy’s eyes were red, “The medical team said she’s dying!”
“No.” Yang Tai opened his palm, and a ball of warm light slowly spun around. “There’s a legend in the Kingdom of Light: when a warrior’s heart is strong enough, even death can be reversed.”
Shinji stared at the light in a daze, then suddenly grabbed his wrist and said, “Teach me! Please teach me the power to save others!”
Yang Tai looked into the boy’s trembling pupils and saw that what was reflected in his eyes was himself who had knelt in front of Zoffy and begged him.
“The price could be your life.”
“It’s okay!” Shinji’s voice was broken but firm, “This time… this time I want to protect the important people!”
In the dark, Asuka bit her lip. She wanted to mock Shinji’s weakness, but this conversation pinned her to the spot.
(How could these two idiots so easily say they were ready to die?)
At the bottom of the underground city, immersed in LCL liquid, Nagisa Kaworu suddenly opened his eyes. A string of binary code flashed in his golden pupils.
“Confirmed contact with Rei Ayanami, second phase activated.” He gave a pitiful smile, “How pitiful, the Warrior of Light being used as a pawn by both sides.”
Outside the liquid chamber, dozens of white-robed men wearing SEELE-branded masks were debugging some massive device. Suspended in the center was a miniature version of the Spear of Longinus.
Yota gently pushed open the door of the special ward and found that Rei Ayanami had sat up and was flipping through a book called “World Fairy Tales”.
“Can you laugh now?” He pointed to the illustration of Little Red Riding Hood in the book.
Rei Ayanami shook her head, but suddenly pressed her chest: “It’s always warm here… lately. Especially when you touch me.”
Yang Tai sat down on the edge of the bed, their shadows overlapping in the morning light: “That is the oldest magic of mankind, called love.”
“Like…” Ayanami Rei repeated the word and suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes. “If I disappeared, would you remember me?”
Outside the glass window, Shinji and Asuka held their breath at the same time.
Yangtai didn’t answer, but simply embraced the girl. His chest shone with sunlight, and the entire ward was dyed golden.
“I won’t let you disappear. This is Ultraman’s promise.”
The data on the monitoring instrument suddenly began to reverse, and Ayanami Rei’s originally failing organ indicators all recovered!
The sirens shattered the brief silence.
“The Eighth Angel—codenamed Night Angel—appeared in the ruins of old Tokyo! Wait… this is…!” Ibuki Maya’s voice suddenly distorted, “It’s absorbing all light energy!”
On the main screen, the pitch-black apostle devoured the surrounding light like a black hole. Even more terrifying, the power to all EVAs was forcibly cut off.
“Yota!” Misato rushed into the ward, “I can only rely on you this time…”
Before he could finish his words, the entire base fell into darkness. The moment the backup power was activated, everyone was horrified to find that Kaworu Nagisa was standing behind Youta, his palm piercing his chest!
“Warrior of Light.” Nagisa’s voice was as gentle as a song, “You can’t save anyone.”
Blood dripped onto Rei Ayanami’s sheets, blooming into dazzling red flowers.
Shinji’s screams and Asuka’s roars rang out simultaneously. But even faster than them, a golden storm suddenly erupted!
Yang Tai grabbed Nagisa Kaworu’s wrist, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye: “It is you, the apostle transformed by SEELE.”
The energy field between the two shattered all the glass, and Kaworu Nagisa was surprised to find that he could no longer absorb the other’s light energy.
“Impossible! Your core should have already…”
“You’ve got two things wrong.” Yang Tai’s eyes blazed with a golden light. “First, I’m more than just Ultraman.” His body began to grow in size, directly breaking through the dome of the base. “Second—”
Ultraman, now fully revealed, lifted up the entire NERV base with one hand, while with his other hand, he condensed a blade of light that spanned the sky.
“If you dare to hurt someone important to me, you must be prepared to be eliminated!”
Over old Tokyo, the Dark Apostle let out a piercing scream, and the dark matter waves it released plunged the entire Kanto region into eternal night.
“It’s useless.” The face of the old man SEELE appeared in the Apostle Core. “We have analyzed the data of all Ultraman…”
Yang Tai suddenly thrust his right hand into his chest! Under everyone’s shocked gaze, he pulled out his heart, shining with colorful light – the Ultra Heart!
“Then you must not know.” He held the heart high in the air, “The true source of the power of the Kingdom of Light warriors!”
The heart transformed into countless light particles that scattered across the earth. A miracle occurred: Unit-01, Unit-00, and Unit-02 all activated on their own, and the same patterns as Ultraman appeared on their surfaces!
“Now,” Yangtai’s voice echoed in the minds of the three pilots at the same time, “Let’s put an end to this farce.”
When the first ray of sunlight pierced the darkness, the only person left on the battlefield was Yang Tai, who was kneeling and gasping for breath. There was a hideous wound on his chest, but a smile was on his lips.
Three EVAs stood quietly behind him, with tearful boys and girls in their cockpits.
“Win…?” Shinji climbed out of the cockpit trembling.
“Asshole… actually asked us to do such a dangerous thing…” Asuka wiped her eyes fiercely.
Rei Ayanami threw herself into Youta’s arms. This doll, who had never shown any emotions before, was now crying like a real girl.
In the distant ruins, half of Nagisa Kaworu’s body was turning into a point of light. He looked at the four people hugging each other and smiled with relief:
“I see… This is how you defeat fate…”
For the first time, cracks appeared on SEELE’s round table.
“Planning must go ahead!”
And in the deepest part of NERV, Ikari Gendo finally took off his glasses, revealing the same golden pupils as Ikari Yui when she was young:
“Finally… I found a container that’s strong enough.”
Chapter 56: Cage of Light [Seeking Collection and Reward] (Old Version)
When Yang Tai opened his eyes, he found himself imprisoned in a transparent cylindrical container, his limbs were locked with cold metal shackles, and there was a wound on his chest that had not yet fully healed.
“Light energy suppression device… SEELE technology? No, this is…”
He looked up and saw through the glass that Ikari Gendo was standing in front of the console, his fingers tapping rapidly on the virtual keyboard.
“Awake?” Ikari Gendō’s voice came through the speakers, calm and almost indifferent. “No need to struggle. This vessel is made from fragments of the Spear of Longinus, specifically to imprison light.”
Yang Tai tried to mobilize the energy in his body, but every attempt was like being cut by an invisible blade, and the pain instantly spread throughout his body. He clenched his teeth, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
“What do you want?”
Ikari Gendō pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold blue light. “Your body will become the final container for the Human Instrumentality Project.”
At NERV headquarters, the command room was in chaos.
“The commander took Mr. Youta away?!” Shinji stood up suddenly, his face pale.
“Damn it! He didn’t even pass the committee resolution!” Misato slammed her fist on the console.
Ritsuko pulled up the surveillance footage and said in a low voice, “They went to the God’s Chamber deepest in the Central Dogma District… Even I have no right to enter there.”
“So? We’re just going to stand there and watch?” Asuka sneered.
“No!” Shinji suddenly raised his voice, his fists clenched white, “Mr. Youta has saved us so many times… This time it’s our turn to save him!”
Rei Ayanami stood up quietly, a flicker of determination in her blue eyes: “Unit-01, Unit-00, Unit-02, all activated.”
Misato was stunned for a moment, then she smiled wildly, “Okay! Let’s make a big scene!”
In the deepest part of the underground city, three EVAs broke through layers of blockades and rushed towards the central dogma zone.
“The final defense gate is ahead!” Asuka yelled, “Shinji! Use your AT field to knock it open!”
“I, I’ll try!” Shinji gritted his teeth, crossed his arms, and the golden AT force field unfolded like a shield, slamming hard into the heavy metal door.
The door was forcibly knocked open, revealing a huge spherical space inside.
Yōta was imprisoned in a transparent container in the center, while Ikari Gendō stood on a platform, flanked by dozens of floating white figures—Lilith’s clones.
“You shouldn’t come here.” Ikari Gendo’s voice was cold.
Asuka scoffed, “Stop the nonsense! Give Youta back to us!”
Rei Ayanami didn’t say anything. Unit-00 raised its rifle and aimed at the container—
The bullet was deflected by the AT force field that suddenly appeared.
Ikari Gendō slowly raised his hand: “Since you insist on interfering with the plan… then let us become sacrifices for completion together.”
In the container, Yangta watched as the three EVAs were surrounded by countless white humanoid figures. Shinji’s Unit-01 was pinned to the ground, Asuka’s Unit-02 was entangled by several chains, and Rei Ayanami’s Unit-00 was pierced through the shoulder by a beam of light.
“No…if we continue like this…”
He tried to focus his light energy again, but the fragments of the Spear of Longinus gnawed at his energy like venomous snakes, and every breath was accompanied by severe pain.
“It’s useless.” Ikari Gendou’s voice came from above, “This cage is prepared for you.”
Yang Tai lowered his head, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: “Really?”
He suddenly raised his left hand, and the transformation bracelet on his wrist began to glow faintly.
Ikari Gendo’s pupils shrank: “Impossible! The bracelet should have been blocked!”
“You’ve made one mistake.” Yangtai’s voice was low and firm. “This bracelet is not a product of technology…it’s a vow.”
The light of the bracelet became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a beam of light that penetrated the sky and the earth!
In the beam of light, Yangtai’s figure gradually grew larger, but this time – his form was completely different from before!
Light blue lines appeared on the silver-white body, and the crystal on the chest was no longer a diamond, but a hexagram that shone like a star.
“This is…” Shinji widened his eyes.
“Ultraman Star Form.” Youta’s voice echoed throughout the space, “The true form of the Land of Light warrior awakening in despair.”
Ikari Gendō finally revealed a look of shock: “Impossible! How could the seal of the Spear of Longinus…”
“Because you underestimated the true nature of light.” Yang Tai raised his hand, and brilliant starlight condensed in his palm. “Light is not energy… but hope.”
“Stars Shattered!”
A brilliant stream of light swept across the entire space, and all the white humanoid figures turned into ashes the moment they touched the light, and even the fragments of the Spear of Longinus began to disintegrate!
Ikari Gendou fell to his knees, his glasses shattered, revealing a pair of golden pupils that were exactly the same as Ikari’s.
“Who…are you?”
Yang Tai slowly landed in front of him: “I’m just an Ultraman passing by.”
He stretched out his hand and pressed it on Gendo Ikari’s forehead, and golden light flowed into the depths of his consciousness.
In an instant, Ikari Gendo saw——
The warriors of the Kingdom of Light protect countless civilizations in the universe.
The truth about the Human Instrumentality Project: The old people of SEELE fear death and attempt to devour the consciousness of all mankind to achieve pseudo-eternity.
And…Ikari Yui’s true wish.
“She…” Ikari Gendou’s voice trembled, “She just wanted me to…see the light?”
Yang Tai pulled his hand back: “Now, you see it.”
After the battle, Youta returned to his human form and sat on the ground exhausted.
“Mr. Youta! Are you okay?!” Shinji was the first to rush over, his eyes red.
“Hmph, why are you trying to be a hero!” Asuka crossed her arms over her chest, but couldn’t help but steal a glance at his injuries.
Rei Ayanami knelt silently beside him and gently held his hand: “…Welcome back.”
Yang Tai looked at the three people and suddenly smiled: “Thank you for coming to save me.”
Misato came over, showing a rare gentle expression: “Okay, kids, it’s time to go home.”
In SEELE’s round table conference room, the holographic images of the elderly people went out one after another.
“The plan failed…”
“Launch the final plan…”
And in the depths of the distant universe, a dark shadow is watching the earth.
“Warrior of the Kingdom of Light… your trial has just begun.”
Chapter 57: The Apostle’s Awakening [Seeking Collection and Reward] (Old Version)
It was early morning in Tokyo-3, the sun filtering through the clouds onto the city under reconstruction. Yota stood on the rooftop of NERV headquarters, the transformation bracelet on his left wrist gleaming faintly in the morning light.
“(SEELE’s forces have retreated temporarily, but…)”
He looked down at his palms; the power of his star form hadn’t yet stabilized completely, and each use consumed a large amount of light energy.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Shinji approached cautiously, “Mr. Youta, what are you thinking about?”
Yang Tai collected his thoughts and smiled slightly: “I’m thinking about what to eat for breakfast today.”
Shinji scratched his head. “Um…Asuka said she’d treat you to some German sausages, and it looks like Ayanami-san also prepared a lunch box…”
Yangtai’s smile froze: “…Can I eat them all?”
Shinji couldn’t help laughing: “Asuka might scold him to death.”
—
At the deepest part of NERV, Ikari Gendo stood in front of a huge transparent container, in which floated a silver-haired boy – a clone of Nagisa Kaworu.
“Are you ready?” Deputy Commander Dongyue asked in a low voice.
Ikari Gendo’s glasses reflected a cold light: “SEELE has activated the final apostle. We must complete the plan before they do.”
He pressed the button on the console, and Nagisa Kaworu in the container suddenly opened his eyes, with data streams flashing in his golden pupils.
“Target confirmed—Ultraman Star Form.”
Inside the training ground, three EVAs are conducting coordinated combat drills.
“The synchronization rate is stable at over 85%!” Ibuki Maya reported with surprise.
Misato nodded with satisfaction: “It seems that Youta’s special training is effective.”
Suddenly, the data on the monitoring screen fluctuated violently!
“High-energy reaction detected!” Hinata Makoto shouted, “Right inside the training ground!”
The ground began to shake, and a huge crack appeared in the center of the training ground, and black mist gushed out!
“Is this… the energy reaction of the apostle?!” Ritsuko stood up in shock.
The mist condensed into shape, and a giant with a black body and a red core embedded in his chest slowly stood up – the final apostle Lucifer!
“Everyone retreat!” Misato ordered immediately, “This is not a regular apostle!”
But it was too late – Lucifer raised his hand and waved, the entire training ground was blocked, and the power supply of the three EVAs was instantly cut off!
“I can’t move…” Asuka gritted her teeth, “This guy is absorbing our AT field!”
Shinji desperately pulled the joystick, but Unit-01 didn’t respond: “Mr. Youta! Where are you–“
Lucifer’s core lit up with a scarlet light, and a dark matter cannon powerful enough to vaporize the entire base was condensing!
At this critical moment——
“Star Light Shield!”
A dazzling starlight barrier blocked the three EVAs, and the dark matter cannon was bounced back!
The smoke and dust cleared, and Yangtai’s transformed Ultraman Star form stood in the center of the battlefield, with silver-blue lines shining like a galaxy.
“Sorry I’m late.”
Lucifer let out a deep laugh: “Warrior of the Kingdom of Light, do you think you can defeat me?”
Yang Tai took a fighting stance, “How will you know if you don’t try?”
The two collided instantly, and the shock wave shattered the outer wall of the training ground!
“So fast…” Shinji’s eyes widened, “I can’t even see the movements clearly!”
Asuka clenched her fists. “That idiot… how can he be a hero all by himself?”
Rei Ayanami stared at the battlefield quietly and suddenly said, “He’s injured.”
As expected, Yangtai’s right shoulder was torn by Lucifer’s claws, and particles of light scattered like blood.
Lucifer sneered, “Your light energy is being eroded by my darkness. Soon you will become a hollow shell.”
Yang Tai didn’t answer, but rushed forward again.
Shinji watched Youta gradually fall into a disadvantage, and his chest felt like it was burning.
“(No… I can’t just stand there and watch…)”
He slammed the emergency start button: “Unit-01! Start!!”
What was shocking was that Unit-01, which had been cut off from power, actually opened its eyes, and – patterns similar to the shape of stars appeared all over its body!
“What?!” Asuka and Rei Ayanami exclaimed at the same time.
Yota’s voice echoed in Shinji’s mind: “Shinji, lend me your heart.”
“Okay!” the boy responded without hesitation.
Unit-01 transformed into a stream of light and merged with Youta’s star form!
“Star Unit-01 Form!”
A brand new look descends upon the battlefield—the purple armor of Unit-01 is wrapped around its silver-blue body, and the crystal on its chest becomes the shape of Unit-01’s core!
Lucifer finally showed a look of shock: “This is impossible! How can humans and warriors of light merge?!”
Yangtai’s voice resounded through the heavens and the earth: “Because this is the power of hope!”
“Star Supernova Impact!”
He crossed his hands and released a stream of light that penetrated the sky and the earth. Lucifer turned into ashes with a scream!
After the battle, Youta returned to his human form and fell to his knees. Shinji rushed out of Unit-01 and supported him.
“Mr. Youta! Are you okay?”
Yang Tai smiled weakly: “Just a little tired…”
Asuka came over and rarely refrained from mocking him: “Idiot, don’t carry it alone next time.”
Rei Ayanami silently handed over a bottle of water, with worry in her eyes.
Misato and Ritsuko rushed to the scene and looked at the destroyed training ground with a wry smile: “This time the repair costs will exceed the budget again…”
In SEELE’s round table conference room, the images of the elderly people went out one by one.
“The apostles were destroyed…”
Chapter 58: Light and Darkness [Seeking Collection and Reward] (Old Version)
At NERV Medical Center, Youta was lying on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
“(The remaining energy of Apostle Lucifer is still corroding my body…)”
He looked down at his left hand and saw that the light of the transformation bracelet was much dimmer than usual.
The door of the ward was gently pushed open, and Rei Ayanami walked in with a tray with a bowl of steaming miso soup on it.
“The doctor said you need nutrition.” She placed the tray on the bedside, her voice calm.
Yang Tai smiled and said, “Thank you, but… did you make this?”
Rei Ayanami nodded slightly: “Shinji taught me.”
Yangtai took a sip and his expression froze subtly – it was so salty that it felt like drinking sea water directly.
“(How much salt did this girl put in…)”
But he still drank it without changing his expression: “It tastes good.”
Rei Ayanami tilted her head and looked at him: “Your expression when you lie is very funny.”
Yang Tai: “…”
In the deepest part of NERV headquarters, Ikari Gendo stood in front of a huge holographic projection, which showed real-time monitoring of Youta’s ward.
“His recovery speed is beyond expectations.” Deputy Commander Dongyue pushed his glasses.
Ikari Gendō’s fingertips slid across the projection. “It’s not recovery… it’s evolution. The apostle’s energy is being transformed into light energy.”
He called up a set of data, which showed that the energy purity in Yang Tai’s body had increased by 37% compared to before the battle.
“Does Seele know about this?”
“Those old guys are only concerned about the Ark Project right now.” Ikari Gendo turned off the projection. “That gives us time to prepare for that.”
On the rooftop late at night, Yang Tai leaned on the railing and looked at the moon covered by dark clouds.
“Can’t sleep?” Asuka’s voice came from behind.
She was holding two cans of beer and tossed one to Yangtai: “Don’t get me wrong, I just happened to buy too much.”
Yang Tai caught the beer, his fingertips glowing slightly, and instantly heated the beer to the appropriate temperature: “Here, warm.”
Asuka’s eyes widened: “You can even do this?!”
“It’s just a small application of light energy.” Yang Tai smiled, “Do you want to learn?”
Asuka turned her face away: “Hmph, who wants to learn this kind of housekeeping skills…” But she still took the warm beer and secretly raised the corners of her mouth.
The two drank in silence for a while, and Asuka suddenly spoke: “That day… when you and Shinji merged, I saw a strange memory.”
Yangtai’s fingers tightened slightly. “What memory?”
“A kingdom of all light, and…” she frowned, “some great darkness.”
Yang Tai didn’t answer, but just looked up at the sky: “Asuka, if one day I have to leave, can you promise me one thing?”
“What’s up?”
“Protect Shinji and Ayanami.”
Asuka stood up suddenly: “Are you kidding me? Are you going to desert?”
Yota looked into the girl’s angry blue eyes and said softly, “No, just prepare for the worst.”
The alarm suddenly sounded throughout the NERV headquarters!
“Space distortion detected! An unidentified object appeared in the sky above Tokyo-3!”
In the command room, Misato stared at the main screen – in the dark clouds, a huge black warship slowly descended, with blood-red lines flowing on its hull.
“This isn’t an apostle…” Ritsuko’s voice tightened, “It’s a man-made creation!”
The bottom of the battleship opened, and countless mechanical soldiers swarmed out like locusts and began to attack the city indiscriminately!
“Everyone EVA, attack!” Misato ordered immediately, “Yōta, you—”
She turned around, only to find that Yangta was gone.
In the center of the city, Yangtai stood on the ruins, looking up at the black warship.
“(This technology…is not from Earth, but it’s not the style of the Kingdom of Light either.)”
The mechanical soldier discovered him and immediately turned his gun around, shooting hundreds of lasers at him at the same time!
Yang Tai raised his hand and a barrier of light unfolded, blocking all attacks.
“It’s useless.” A mechanical voice came from the battleship. “We are analyzing your energy and will soon be able to completely control it.”
Yang Tai sneered: “Really?”
He suddenly leaped up and completed his transformation in mid-air—but this time, his form changed!
Dark red lines appeared on the silver body, and the hexagram crystal on the chest turned into a vortex of black and red.
“Dark Star Form!”
The voice in the battleship fluctuated for the first time: “Impossible! How can you control the remaining dark energy of the apostles?!”
“Because light and darkness are one.” Yangtai’s voice was low and dangerous. “Now, it’s my turn.”
He crossed his hands and released a stream of black and red light that instantly penetrated the entire battleship!
The battleship turned into a fireball in the explosion, but Yangtai’s condition was obviously not right – he fell to his knees, and the dark red lines on his body squirmed like a living thing.
“(Oh no…energy backlash…)”
This was what the three EVAs saw when they arrived at the scene.
“Mr. Yota!” Shinji wanted to get closer, but was stopped by a warning that suddenly popped up from Unit-01.
“Don’t come over!” Yang Tai growled, “I can’t control my strength now…”
Asuka gritted her teeth: “Are you kidding me! Do you think we will abandon you?”
Rei Ayanami didn’t say anything. Unit 00 directly deployed the AT force field and walked towards Youta step by step.
“Idiot! Back off!” Asuka yelled.
But Rei Ayanami had already walked in front of Youta, and Unit 00 reached out and gently pressed on his chest.
“You said… light and darkness are one.” Her voice came through the external speakers. “So… we can bear it too.”
Shockingly, the dark red lines on Youta’s body began to flow towards Unit 00, but Rei Ayanami’s expression did not show any pain.
“(She’s… sharing my energy outburst?)” Yang Tai looked at the scene in shock.
Shinji and Asuka exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously. Unit-01 and Unit-02 also stepped forward, and the three EVAs simultaneously connected to Youta’s energy.
The out-of-control energy was divided equally, and Yangtai’s form gradually returned to its normal star state.
After the battle, the four sat in a makeshift camp.
“So,” Asuka crossed her arms, “you knew all along that you would be attacked by the energy?”
Youta nodded, “I had a premonition after our last battle.”
“Why didn’t you tell us?” Shinji asked in a low voice.
“Because…” Yang Tai looked at the three of them, “I don’t want you to get involved in anything more dangerous.”
Rei Ayanami suddenly said: “Selfish.”
“Huh?”
“You want to take it all on yourself,” she looked straight into Youta’s eyes, “that’s truly selfish.”
Asuka scoffed, “You can’t even stand looking at the puppets.”
Shinji mustered up his courage and said, “Mr. Youta, we are…partners, right?”
Yang Tai was stunned, then smiled bitterly: “Yeah, I was wrong.”
He extended his hand: “We will face it together later.”
Three hands came up one after another, and finally Ayanami Rei joined in hesitantly.
Chapter 59: Soul Resonance [Seeking Collection and Reward] (Old Version)
NERV Underground Training Ground
Yangtai stood on the observation platform with his arms folded across his chest, his silver-gray NERV uniform making his figure look particularly tall and straight.
“The synchronization rate has dropped again!” Asuka angrily slammed the control panel in the cockpit of Unit 2. “What the hell is going on with this broken system?”
“I’m sorry…” Shinji’s Unit-01 stumbled back two steps, “I haven’t adapted to the new neural connection mode yet.”
Yota’s fingertips tapped lightly on the edge of the observation platform, and a nearly invisible ray of light flowed along the cable into the control system of Unit-01. The number on the monitoring screen suddenly jumped from 65% to 72%.
“Huh?” Shinji looked at the data changes in surprise.
Akagi Ritsuko looked up sharply: “The system fluctuation just now…”
“It’s a natural adjustment of the neural connections,” Youta explained calmly, “Shinji’s condition is stabilizing.”
“Mr. Youta, are you secretly helping me again?” Asuka narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
The infirmary was filled with the smell of disinfectant during lunch break. Yang Tai was sorting through medical records when the door was gently pushed open.
“Come in,” he said without looking up.
Rei Ayanami walked in barefoot, her slender ankles visible beneath her white hospital gown. She sat quietly on the examination bed, her red eyes staring straight at Youta.
“Where do you feel uncomfortable?” Yang Tai put down his pen.
“Here.” She pointed to the lower left side of her chest. “It’s been hurting a lot lately.”
Yang Tai put on his stethoscope, and his fingers quietly emitted a faint exploratory light as he palpated. The scan results showed that a micro device in the third intercostal space was emitting an abnormal signal.
(As expected, a surveillance camera was implanted…)
“It could be intercostal neuralgia. It requires regular observation.” He pretended to adjust the stethoscope, wrapping the device with the light from his fingertips.
The setting sun dyed the rooftop blood red. Asuka blocked Youta’s way, the sea breeze ruffling her red hair.
“What are you planning?” she asked bluntly, “Why are you helping that idiot Shinji?”
Yangta leaned on the railing, “Because he needs help.”
“Don’t try to be so rude!” Asuka grabbed his collar. “How come you, an alien, know so much about this?”
Yota looked at her calmly, “Ultraman’s mission is to protect all life, regardless of planet.”
“Then…why did you save me that day? I was just a…” Asuka’s hands trembled slightly.
“Because you’re asking for help.” Youta gently held her wrist. “Although you spoke in an angry tone, your heart was screaming ‘Save me’.”
Asuka let go of her hand as if burned, and stumbled back two steps: “What nonsense… How could I…”
Her voice stopped abruptly and she turned and ran away, but Yangtai clearly saw a tear floating in the wind.
A shrill alarm rang out throughout the headquarters.
“The Ninth Angel, codenamed Rain Angel, appeared in the sky above the Third New Tokyo City!”
Inside the command room, the main screen displayed a strange green cloud. Misato’s face was serious. “What kind of attack mode is this?”
“Strong acid rain!” Hinata Makoto exclaimed, “The concentration is a thousand times higher than regular acid rain!”
“EVA attack immediately!” Misato ordered, “but the armor can only last ten minutes!”
Yota stared at the screen, his brow furrowed. This time, the Angel’s behavior was clearly unusual—it didn’t attack NERV headquarters directly, but instead circled over the city.
(The massacre of civilians… this is not the style of an apostle)
The three EVAs were immediately caught in a fierce battle. “The armor on Unit-01’s left arm has been corroded and perforated!” Shinji’s screams came through the communicator. “No… I can’t hold on any longer…”
“Damn it! All weapon systems have failed!” Asuka’s Unit 2 tried to provide support but was forced back by a waterfall of acid rain.
Yota stood in front of the observation window, his transformation bracelet slightly warm. He looked at Misato and said, “I’ll go help with the evacuation.”
Without waiting for a response, he rushed out of the command room.
At the entrance to the shelter, Yota pushed the last child to the staff. In the sky, Unit-01 was using its body to shield the shelter from the acid rain, and large areas of its armor were peeling off.
“Enough…” Yang Tai gritted his teeth and rushed into the deserted alley.
“Transform!”
In the dazzling light, a silver giant rose from the ground and unfolded a huge barrier of light that covered the entire refuge area.
“It’s Ultraman!” the crowd in the shelter cheered.
The Rain Angels immediately reversed their attack, pouring all their acid rain down on the silver giant. However, the acid, powerful enough to dissolve steel, was purified the moment it came into contact with the light barrier.
The colored timer on Yangtai’s chest began to flash – this form can only last three minutes on Earth. He formed his arms into a cross shape:
A dazzling beam of light shot straight into the sky, shattering the Rain Angel in the light. But at the moment of being destroyed, its core suddenly shot out a red light, accurately hitting Ultraman’s color timer!
“Ah–!” Yangtai felt a sharp pain and his body shrank uncontrollably.
(Forced transformation cancellation… Is this… a targeted attack?)
The powerless humanoid body fell from the sky. At the critical moment, Unit-01 miraculously reached out its hand—
“Mr. Youta!” Shinji’s voice came through the speaker.
Youta fell into the EVA’s huge palm, and through the broken cockpit glass, he saw Shinji’s tear-stained face.
In the distance, Asuka in Unit 2 and Rei Ayanami in Unit 0 both froze.
In the special ward, Yota opened his eyes. Sitting beside the bed was Ikari Gendo, his glasses reflecting a cold light.
“A wonderful show,” he said calmly, “but you shouldn’t interfere with human choices.”
Yang Tai stood up and said, “Using apostles to massacre civilians, this is the choice of mankind?”
“A necessary sacrifice.” Ikari Gendō handed over a document. “By joining the Instrumentality Project, you can save more lives.”
Yang Tai sneered: “Trade destruction for redemption?”
“This is evolution.” Ikari Gendo stood up and left. “Think it over carefully, Ultraman. You don’t have much time… yet.”
The moment the door closed, hurried footsteps and quarrels were heard outside.
“Let me in! This is an order! He needs treatment!” It was the voices of Shinji, Asuka and Ayanami Rei.
Yangtai looked down at the transformation bracelet on his wrist – tiny cracks appeared on the surface.
(Energy core damaged…)
The three people who were finally allowed into the ward had different expressions. “Why…” Shinji’s voice trembled, “Why did you risk saving those people…”
Youta smiled, “Because this is my mission.”
“Idiot!” Asuka suddenly shouted, “Do you think you are the savior?”
“No.” Youta looked at her, “I’m just doing the right thing.”
“The pain here… has stopped.” Rei Ayanami gently pressed her chest.
The four of them fell silent. The moonlight from the window fell on the bed, casting a faint halo of light.
Chapter 60: Wings of Godkiller [Seeking Collection and Reward] (Old Version)
A special bandage wrapped around Yota’s wrist concealed the cracked transformation bracelet. He stood before the massive head of Unit-01, his palm gently resting on the cold armor.
“Mr. Youta…” Shinji’s voice came from behind, “Are you okay with your injury?”
Yang Tai withdrew his hand, turned around and smiled: “It’s just a slight energy backlash.”
Shinji stared down at his shoes. “Um…thank you for saving everyone. But…” He twisted his fingers together. “If I can’t catch you…”
“You did it.” Yang Tai held the boy’s trembling shoulders, “You are braver than anyone else.”
A flash of red light suddenly flashed from Unit-01’s single eye. Yota looked up sharply, catching a fleeting glimpse of abnormal energy fluctuations deep within the cockpit.
(Inside Unit-01…what is awakening?)
Inside the tactical operations room, the blue light from the electronic screens illuminated everyone’s solemn faces.
“According to analysis, Rain Angel’s attack pattern has clearly been adjusted.” Akagi Ritsuko pulled up the data chart, “Especially the last red light, which specifically targets Ultraman’s energy core.”
Misato Katsuragi crushed the energy bar in her mouth: “Someone is controlling the apostles?”
“Impossible!” Hinata Makoto blurted out, “How could an apostle be…?”
His voice stopped abruptly when Ikari Gendo walked in. The entire command room suddenly became so quiet that one could hear the sound of electricity.
“Special meeting.” Ikari Gendō’s glasses reflected a cold light. “Regarding the disposal plan for Ultraman.”
Yang Tai leaned against the wall in the corner, feeling dozens of gazes piercing him at the same time. Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki slowly opened the folder:
“Considering the uncontrollable nature of Ultraman’s power, the committee has decided—”
“What the hell is that decision!” Asuka suddenly kicked the door open. “Without Youta, we would have been dissolved in the acid rain long ago!”
Shinji followed her timidly, but surprisingly did not retreat: “I… I also think that Mr. Youta is a companion…”
Ikari Gendo’s gaze swept across everyone, finally landing on Youta: “What’s your opinion?”
Yang Tai looked directly into those cold eyes: “I will continue to fight until the last apostle disappears.”
The air seemed to freeze. Finally, Ikari Gendo turned and left. “I hope you won’t regret this decision.”
On the cherry blossom path outside the base, falling petals resembled snowflakes in the moonlight. Ayanami Rei stood barefoot beneath the trees, her white pajamas fluttering slightly in the night breeze.
“Can’t sleep?” Yang Tai put his coat on her shoulders.
Rei Ayanami looked up at Sakura: “Commander Ikari said… you will leave sooner or later.”
“All lives will eventually separate.” Yang Tai said softly, “But this does not prevent us from meeting each other now.”
A petal fell into Rei Ayanami’s palm. She suddenly grabbed Youta’s hand and pressed it against her chest. “This place… has been beating very fast lately. Especially when I see you fighting.”
A rapid heartbeat could be felt beneath Yangtai’s palm. It was unlike the warmth of a human being, but instead carried a strange resonance.
(This is…)
“Li, have you recently…”
The sudden blare of an alarm interrupted his words. The blood-red warning lights dyed the cherry blossoms an eerie crimson.
“The Tenth Apostle—codenamed the God-Slaying Angel—broke through the Seventh Defense Wall!”
On the main screen, a humanoid apostle with six wings on his back was floating in the air.
“Target characteristic analysis completed!” Ibuki Maya’s voice trembled.
Ritsuko stood up suddenly: “All EVAs, retreat immediately! This is not a regular apostle!”
But the communication channel was already filled with noise. Unit-01, Unit-00, and Unit-02 had all lost contact.
Yangtai’s transformation bracelet suddenly became extremely hot and the cracks widened a bit.
(Specially for my Apostles…)
The city lay in ruins. Each flap of the Godslayer’s wings released a stream of energy similar to the Spacium Ray. Unit-01 was pinned to the burning building, and Shinji’s screams echoed through the communicator.
“The synchronization rate… is out of control!” Asuka screamed at the dashboard, “That idiot Shinji is going to be eaten by Unit-01!”
Ayanami Rei’s Unit-00 attempted to provide support, but was pierced through the abdomen by a beam of light. She groaned, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
Yang Tai rushed into the center of the battlefield and raised the transformation bracelet: “Transform–“
A dark figure suddenly descended from the sky! Nagisa Kaworu gracefully landed on the ruins, his finger touching his lips. “If you transform now… your bracelet will be completely shattered.”
“You…!” Yangtai’s pupils contracted.
Nagisa Kaworu smiled and pointed to the sky: “Look, the stars are falling.”
Countless burning meteorites penetrated the clouds, each carrying the energy reaction of the apostles!
Yangtai looked at the three pilots struggling in pain, then looked at his bracelet that was on the verge of breaking.
(I can only take a gamble…)
He yanked off his bracelet and threw it into the air: “Light—!”
The bracelet exploded in the sky, transforming into countless light particles that showered the battlefield. Each particle of light was precisely integrated into the EVA body, and the eyes of the three giants simultaneously lit up with dazzling golden light!
“This is…!” Shinji felt a warm current flowing into his body, and the Unit-01’s rampage was forcibly curbed.
“The power… is coming!” Asuka’s Unit 02 unfolded an unprecedented AT force field.
“Yōta’s…light…” The wound on Rei Ayanami’s Unit-00 healed quickly.
For the first time, the God-Slaying Angel revealed a look of terror. Three enhanced EVAs attacked simultaneously, their spears of light, axes of thunder, and sonic blades interweaving into a web of destruction.
“Now!” Yang Tai shouted.
The weapons of the three EVAs pierced the core of the apostle at the same time, and the dazzling explosion illuminated the entire night sky.
When the smoke cleared, Youta knelt in the ruins, his wrists empty. Shinji and the other two rushed out of the EVA and surrounded him in panic.
“Your bracelet…!” Asuka’s voice trembled.
Yang Tai smiled weakly: “It’s okay…”
Rei Ayanami suddenly hugged him and buried her face in his chest. Shinji knelt beside him, tears falling on the scorched earth.
In the distance, Nagisa Kaworu stood on top of the burning cross and sighed softly: “What a beautiful bond…”
In the special ward, sunlight streamed through the blinds, drawing streaks across the floor. Yota opened his eyes to find three tired, sleeping faces huddled beside the bed—Asuka’s blond hair tangled with Shinji’s black, and Ayanami Rei curled up in the corner like a cat.
He gently stroked the wrist where the bracelet had been removed, feeling the remaining light energy in his body.
Outside the door, Ikari Gendo’s footsteps gradually faded away, leaving behind a faint whisper:
“The chess pieces…are already in place.”
