Chapter 324 The Death of Tiguris, Earth's True Hero!
After saying goodbye to Brigadier General Chung, Lin Hui encountered Tian Duan and Lun Wen, who were filming news footage nearby.
The three of them started chatting.
Mentioning Brigadier General Zhong, Lin Hui said softly, "Actually, he's a kind person. He just simply wanted to protect what he loved."
Jingling, Tian Duan, and Lunwen, who were eating sandwiches nearby, also joined the discussion.
Lin Hui looked up at the azure sky: "However, the world he sees is too small."
Lunwen expressed his understanding: "It's only natural for someone to want to protect what they love."
On the other chair, Jing Ling suddenly stood up:
"Actually, I once flew through the sky with Ultraman Blue..."
Jingling recalls the scene when she was rescued by Fujimiya.
"At that time, when I looked down from the sky, I felt the sea and the earth, and I realized that they truly nurtured so many lives."
Only by standing tall can one see far.
Only by broadening our perspective can we see the shared life of the entire Earth.
[But ordinary people rarely have this God's-eye view. If a monster tramples down your house, you'd definitely hate the monster.]
[Mainly because Fujimiya is Ii Rei's (Ii Rei's) romantic partner.]
Suddenly, Lin Hui once again sensed some mysterious sounds.
Accompanied by a deafening roar from deep underground, the scene cuts back to the surface.
Lin Hui, who was chatting with Tian Duan and Lun Wen, suddenly stopped the discussion.
They noticed that Lin Hui raised her head and looked towards the distant horizon, as if she had sensed something.
"What's wrong?" Tabata noticed her unusual behavior.
Lin Hui shook her head slightly, but a hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes: "It's nothing."
At that very moment, the alarms at the airbase blared frantically once again.
Everyone stared intently at the radar screen: "Radar has detected Blitzbrotz! It's back!"
Commander Shi Shi frowned and strode to the control panel: "Where is the target located?"
"GeoSat 3!"
At this moment, Staff Officer Ye Qian realized:
"I remember there was a high-energy warhead disintegrating there! If it were destroyed, the consequences would be extremely serious!"
[Holy crap! Where did this monster get its information?]
[This is outrageous! First they bombed the conference building, then they bombed the high-energy warhead. This is a strategic-level precision strike!]
It absolutely possesses all of the defense force's core secrets!
Could there be a traitor among us?
[Not necessarily. This monster is clearly alien-level. Their technology might far surpass ours, and they probably wouldn't even consider human traitors.]
[It's not necessarily a complete rout; they can build missiles on a whim, and the technology in the special effects zone is beyond our imagination.]
Our great planet Earth is in grave danger!
"Lightning Team, Hercules Team, move out immediately!" Commander Stone Chamber decisively issued the order.
The scene shifts to a jeep where General Chung is leading Fujimiya to the battlefield.
Brigadier General Zhong, still wearing sunglasses and carrying a rocket launcher, shouted: "Fujimiya, let's join forces and defeat the monster!"
Fujimiya pulled out his dull-colored transformation device, his face pale. He shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "What a pity. It seems that this morning's battle has exhausted all my strength."
Seeing Fujimiya's weak appearance, General Chung didn't say anything, but simply looked at the battlefield.
Good grief, I thought Zhong Zhun would take advantage of someone's misfortune like Chief of Staff Gondo.
Is Brigadier General Zhong planning to personally lead the attack?
Even the most arrogant person has their day.
[Now I'll have to solo it myself.]
In the sky, Blitzbloc is approaching Geo Satellite 3 at an astonishing speed.
"Initiate attack!" Captain Wei Weike, piloting Lightning One, was the first to press the launch button.
A barrage of laser beams rained down on Blitzbloc, successfully disrupting its flight path.
The Destroyer was forced to land on a wasteland, but it immediately displayed a terrifying ability to fight back.
Faced with the roaring fighter jets, Blitzbrotz exerted force with both legs and displayed amazing jumping ability, leaping directly to a height of 1,000 meters!
One swipe!
boom!!!
Wei Weike's plane's tail section was blown off!
Immediately afterward, Blitzbloc fired a series of laser blasts upon landing, precisely locking onto the remaining two fighter jets.
"team leader!"
"Captain Wei Weike!"
Anxious shouts came through the communication channel.
However, the dots representing Team Lightning on the radar screen had all disappeared.
"Ogawara and Kitada successfully landed!"
"Where is Wei Weike?"
"No response yet..."
Seeing this, I immediately left the command room and ran outside.
On the riverbank, Li Muzi's older sister, Li Luzi, stared blankly at the river, seemingly sensing something, before looking up at the sky.
[Team Lightning wiped out?!]
[My God, even Wei Weike got shot down! This is the first time in the whole series, right?]
[That jumping ability? He's practically shoulder-to-shoulder with an airplane?]
[This Destroyer's anti-air capabilities are insane; it's practically an anti-aircraft missile come to life.]
At this point, only the Hercules team on the ground was still carrying out the bombing!
However, their tracks had been blown up by a blast from Blitzbloc, rendering them completely immobile and turning them into sitting ducks.
Just as everyone was in despair, the ground in front of Blitzbloc suddenly began to roll violently.
Amidst billowing dust, a colossal subterranean monster burst forth from the earth, letting out a deafening roar.
Tigurlis!
In the control room, everyone was stunned.
"Tiguris? Wasn't it killed by the underground penetrating bomb?" Staff Officer Ye Qian was shocked.
Brigadier General Zhong, who was watching from the other side, was also shocked.
Why did that monster appear?
Wasn't Tiguris killed by him?
Fujimiya looked at Tigurius, who was holding Blitzbrotz back in the distance, and murmured:
"The creatures living on this planet have their own missions, and there must be a reason why that monster appeared."
At this moment, Lin Hui and the reporter team, Brigadier General Fujimiya Takashi who was watching the battle, and Imu who had just arrived in the airspace of the battlefield, all three parties raised the same question.
"That monster is...?"
"They live on this earth."
Why did they start fighting like that?
My dream's gaze gradually hardened: "Because it also has itself, and things it wants to protect!"
[It's Tiguris! It's alive again?]
[Form ranks in the west! White Tiger, heed my command!]
[No, these should be different individuals from the same race!]
It sensed the crisis facing Earth and came out to protect our home!
Humans initially wanted to kill them, but now that a formidable enemy is at hand, it's the monsters that have stepped forward.
Tiger is awesome!
Without any hesitation, Tiguris roared and charged toward Blitzbrotz.
It opened its blood-red maw and bit down hard on the Destroyer's arm, trying to restrict its movements.
However, the gap in strength between the two sides was simply too great.
Blitzbloc's eyes were icy, and his other hand transformed into a sharp cleaver as he slashed down fiercely.
Click!
One of Tiguris's horns was severed! A piercing scream echoed across the wilderness.
Tiguris was doing his utmost to stop Blitzbrotz, and his fearless attitude startled Brigadier General Zhong, who had originally regarded him as an enemy, causing him to momentarily lose his composure.
"What is this monster protecting so desperately...?"
He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
But he knew that the situation left no room for hesitation!
The next second, Commander Chung suddenly raised the rocket launcher, aimed at Blitzbloc's eye, and pulled the trigger!
With a loud "boom", the Destroyer's left eye was precisely hit, exploding into a burst of fire!
As the smoke cleared, Tiguris slowly turned his head to look at the man who had once been his enemy, now offering his support.
The human and the beast stared at each other from afar, the air seemingly thick with a silent exchange, no one able to fathom the thoughts churning within their hearts.
……
"Gaia—!"
With a roar, a red light ripped across the sky. Ultraman Gaia descended with a thunderous crash, standing in front of Tiguris.
The battle erupted instantly.
Gaia, in his V2 form, engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with Blitzbrotz.
The two sides exchanged blows, each punch landing squarely.
Because of the bite inflicted by Tiguris earlier, Blitzbloc's movements became slightly slower, and Gaia gradually gained the upper hand.
Seizing an opening, Gaia suddenly created distance, and high-density red energy rapidly gathered around its head.
Photon Ice Blade!
It can absorb skills!
[Oh no, I'm about to give away a skill, and I can't take it back now.]
[Have you forgotten my dream? That's how Agul was instantly defeated!]
As expected, Blitzbloc made no attempt to dodge. Its chest armor suddenly opened, and the red crystals once again burst forth with dazzling light.
The photon ice blade was continuously absorbed into the crystal, and its power multiplied, transforming into an even thicker pillar of destructive light that rebounded fiercely!
Gaia was shocked and quickly erected the Ultra Barrier.
boom--!
The rebounding beam was incredibly powerful, shattering the barrier a few seconds later and sending Gaia's massive body flying.
Gaia crashed heavily to the ground, the color timer on her chest began to flash wildly, and she lost even the strength to stand up.
Blitzblot let out a chilling hiss and strode heavily toward the fallen Gaia, preparing to steal Gaia's life force just as it had stolen Agul's energy.
At this moment, Fujimiya, who was watching the battle, shouted, "Watch out, my dream! He wants to steal the light from you!"
At this critical moment.
A massive figure stumbled and rushed over, standing firmly between Gaia and the Destroyer.
It was Tiguris, who was severely injured!
It shielded Gaia with its broken body and roared angrily at Blitzbloc.
Staggered by the impact, Blitzbloc showed no mercy to Tigurlis.
Without the slightest pity, he raised his sharp hand blade and slashed it down hard at Zhuntigulis's throat.
Blood splattered.
Tiguris's massive body trembled violently, but it did not retreat even a step, remaining firmly in front of Gaia until its life force gradually dissipated.
【Tiguris!!!】
Holy crap, I cried! It's really risking its life to protect the Earth!
Despite how humans treated it, it shielded the Giant of Light from a fatal blow...
These are the true guardians of Earth!
Gaia clenched his fists in anger as he looked at Tiguris lying dead in front of him.
At this moment, the Hercules team, whose tracks were damaged, looked at the battlefield and immediately began to adjust their equipment!
"That guy..."
"I won't let your efforts go to waste!"
"emission!!!"
Several more missiles struck Blitzbrotz in quick succession!
They were trying to slow down his advance on Gaia!
However, Blisbros casually fired a few flares and directly destroyed the Sting's engine!
Just then, the roar of tracks crushing the ground came from the edge of the battlefield.
"The engine has stopped? Don't give up!"
"Stein, can you hear me? This is Zhong Bozhi from the GUARD Pacific Rim Force! I'm here to support you!"
Brigadier General Chung, driving the Bison tank, unleashed a furious barrage of fire at Blitzbloc.
The dense barrage of missiles exploded on the Destroyer, failing to inflict fatal wounds but successfully drawing its attention and buying Gaia precious breathing time.
Brigadier General Chung! A true man!
[Still the hawkish tough guy unique to the special effects zone]
Although he was extreme before, he genuinely did it to protect the Earth!
Humans, monsters, and Ultraman have finally united!
Gaia struggled to her feet, immediately gathering strength in her hands!
Simplified version of quantum streamlines!
A barrage of beams of light bombarded Blitzbloz's chest. The Destroyer sneered and once again activated its armor to absorb the damage.
However, Gaia showed no sign of stopping, continuously outputting energy.
Soon, Blitzbloc realized something was wrong.
The red crystals on its chest began to flash violently, emitting an overload warning.
Some tiny sparks also popped out from his body!
Its absorption capacity has an upper limit!
The Destroyer attempted to fire a hand cannon to interrupt Gaia, but the overloaded energy caused its body to briefly stiffen.
"You ate too much, your stomach must be bloated!"
"Now! Concentrate your firepower on its chest!" Brigadier General Chung roared.
All the ground missiles were launched simultaneously, accurately hitting the red crystal on Blitzbloc's chest that was on the verge of collapse.
Click!
The crystal shattered instantly!
Seeing Blitzbrotz frozen in place, Fujimiya and Commodore Zhong on the Bison roared from afar, "Now! Attack! Gaia!"
Gaia gave it no chance to catch its breath, its whole body shone brightly, and its body instantly became stronger.
The Supreme Type (SV) has arrived!
Gaia clasped his hands together above his head, and a massive amount of photon energy converged wildly, transforming into a devastating stream of blue and white light.
Photon streamlines!
Having lost its ability to absorb energy, Blitzbloc was utterly powerless against this devastating force and was instantly blasted into countless fragments.
The battle is over.
The last rays of the setting sun shone on the desolate wilderness.
Tiguris lay quietly on the ground, its eyes closed, but its massive body still stood tall on the earth, like an immortal monument.
The defense team members present, whether from Hercules' team or Brigadier General Chung, all silently dismounted from their vehicles.
They removed their helmets and, with heartfelt respect, gave the most solemn military salute to their former "enemy," now a comrade who had died a heroic death.
……
On Saturday evening, the latest video from renowned tokusatsu commentary YouTuber Lao Tang was released on time. The title was eye-catching: "Breaking the Boundaries of Cognition! Earth's Heroes Aren't Just Ultraman: In-Depth Analysis of Gaia's Amazing Episode!"
As soon as the video was released, countless viewers who had just finished watching the full episode and were still feeling dissatisfied immediately flooded the comment section and the bullet screen.
Is Lao Tang back?
[Check-in!]
[I'll give you the most direct, truthful, straightforward, incisive, frank, blunt, and practical answer. This episode is amazing.]
The large-scale battle was exciting to watch, but the ending was too tragic.
At the beginning of the scene, Lao Tang's signature deep voice rang out.
"Brothers, welcome back to Old Tang's channel. Did everyone watch episode 45 of Ultraman Gaia last night?"
"Was it exciting? Was it tragic? This episode can be said to be another peak scene since Gaia started airing, following the first season finale and the previous episode's battle between the two stars. It directly served as a shocking preview of the finale."
"The Destruction Summoning Body has completely dropped its pretense this time, directly throwing its powerful trump card onto the table."
The video flashed a desperate moment as Agul disappeared into specks of light.
"First, let's talk about Blitzbloz, the Destroyer who gave Agul a hard time and nearly caused Gaia to lose his life. He's definitely a classic villain with extremely high intelligence and powerful combat abilities."
In the video, Lao Tang drew a circle with a red pen, encircling the appearance of the Destroyer Demon. "According to official data, its design is based on a raven, it is 60 meters tall, weighs 66,000 tons, and can fly at a super speed of Mach 9! But that's not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is its combat intelligence."
The comments started scrolling rapidly.
[The hexagonal warrior is fighting with utter despair.]
[One-shotting V2 Agul, this feat is something to brag about for a lifetime in the competitive scene.]
This monster is practically a special forces soldier reincarnated.
Old Tang cleared his throat and continued, "Let's review its attack route. First, it precisely located the GUARD International Conference Building. Why? Because a research and design facility for a new weapon was hidden beneath the building! Second, it headed straight for Geo Satellite 3. Because there was a high-energy warhead disintegrating there!"
"Brothers, what does this mean? It means the enemy has thoroughly investigated the defense forces' intelligence. This kind of highly intelligent villain with his own strategic objectives is incredibly intimidating."
"Its tactical execution was also clean and efficient. Facing the Lightning team's crossfire, it used its excellent dynamic vision and amazing jumping ability to leap to a height of 1,000 meters and instantly shoot down three fighter jets. Captain Weiwei achieved the first time in the entire series that he was shot down by a monster."
"Faced with the two Ultramen's ultimate attacks, the Photon Crusher and the Photon Ice Blade, it absorbed and reflected them all using the red crystal on its chest, directly destroying Agul's Color Timer and causing Fujimiya to lose its transformation ability. Its strength is overwhelming, completely crushing all the monsters that have appeared before."
The scene shifts to Lin Hui and Zhong Zhun talking in the park.
"But what truly makes this episode legendary is not just the Destroyer's formidable fighting power, but the depth of its dramatic scenes and the elevation of the theme of symbiosis. Pay close attention to this dialogue between Lin Hui and Brigadier General Zhong."
Old Tang's voice turned low, "Is General Zhong a bad person? We couldn't draw a conclusion before, but now we know he's another strategist like Gondo!"
"He witnessed his ground forces being completely annihilated by subterranean monsters, leaving him with an indelible trauma. His motivation for launching the subterranean penetrating missile and advocating for the elimination of the monsters was to protect the human race."
"Just like Lin Hui said, he is a kind person who simply wants to protect what he loves. However, his perspective is too narrow."
Old Tang tapped the table. "In Brigadier General Zhong's eyes, Earth is humanity's only living space, and any threat must be resisted. Lin Hui, on the other hand, represents a macro perspective."
"Hatred only breeds new hatred and drives people to lose their minds. The Earth is not just a family of humans. Humans and other natural creatures live together on Earth, and the common goal is survival."
Sister Lin Hui has a truly broad perspective.
[He's at least Renlong's contact person.]
Brigadier General Chung was actually a tragic figure; it was just a matter of differing stances.
Protecting yourself is not wrong; what's wrong is allowing destruction to invite provocation and sowing discord.
[This is the depth of Gu Laozei's special effects films.]
Old Tang then changed the subject: "This clash of ideologies found its most striking answer in the battle that followed. When Earth faced invaders, who stepped forward? Tiguris!"
Old Tang showed a close-up shot of Tiguris bursting out of the ground. "Everyone, please note that this is not the previous one, but a branch of the species. Renlong represents the Azure Dragon among the Five Divine Beasts, while Tiguris symbolizes the White Tiger! They are both native monsters of Earth, and they did not hesitate to step forward in the face of the cosmic invaders."
Why is Tiguris fighting so desperately? Because it also has something it wants to protect—its planet! Even knowing it can't win, even with its horns severed, even with its life ending, it still chooses to fight.
"The most ironic moment came when humanity used a penetrating bullet to destroy Tiguris, but when Gaia was about to be killed, the heavily wounded Tiguris used his own flesh and blood to block the fatal blow."
The live chat was completely flooded with comments of people being moved to tears.
Seeing the scene where he blocked the knife, even a grown man like me couldn't hold back anymore.
[The entire Tiguris family were loyal martyrs!]
[A true guardian of Earth!]
This monster is far greater than some selfish humans.
"This is not only a sacrifice, but also the greatest reconciliation in the entire play."
Old Tang emphasized, "Brigadier General Zhong, the man who once ordered the killing of monsters, has completely awakened at this moment. He personally drives the tank, leading the troops to open fire and support Gaia. Humans, Ultraman, and monsters fight side by side for the first time in history, achieving a massive team battle!"
"Regarding the final tactic, Gaia displayed exceptional intelligence. Blitzbloc's absorption capacity has a limit, preventing it from absorbing large amounts of energy. Gaia's continuous output caused it to overload and become stunned, allowing the ground forces to seize the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack, destroying the red crystal. Finally, Gaia transformed into its supreme form and used Photon Stream to deliver the final blow. The combo was executed flawlessly."
The video footage ends with the moment when the defense force salutes Tiguris's body in the sunset.
Old Tang's voice turned solemn: "The battle is over. Under the setting sun, Tiguris' life has ended, but its body remains majestic and upright. The team members present offered their sincerest salutes. This is not only a tribute to the hero, but also a profound recognition of humanity's shared destiny. Earth is the common home of all life."
"Brothers, with this episode's conclusion, the Destruction Summoning Element has officially stepped into the spotlight, and the final chapter of the grand finale is approaching! Let's look forward to how this magnificent epic will end! Remember to like, comment, and subscribe, and see you next time!"
The barrage of comments surged wildly.
You have your coins!
[Salute to Tiguris!]
A salute to Earth's heroes!
I can't wait to see the finale!
