Chapter 418 The Miracle of Rebirth
Chapter 418 The Miracle of Rebirth
Faced with a dying monster, the elite team will set up camp in an open area not far away tonight.
They need to monitor the monster's condition at all times.
evening.
Musashi and Fubuki once again argued over the definition of a monster.
Why are the monsters so ferocious?
The wind blew with a complaint.
"If they were all good monsters, we wouldn't have to work so hard."
"I don't think they are inherently vicious."
Musashi retorted:
"The monster is just acting on its instincts."
"Just like humans eat and sleep."
"Just now, Senior Kazeki distinguished between good and bad monsters, but I don't think so."
Musashi looked at his hands, his tone firm:
"Every monster is striving to live out the life it has been given." "They just happened to encounter humans, and because of conflicts in their living habits or habitats, they were arrogantly divided into 'good monsters' and 'bad monsters' by humans."
"You're still the same as ever, always so naive."
Feng Chui shook his head helplessly.
"But perhaps that is indeed the case."
Musashi stood up, recalling the mission they had carried out not long ago.
Through a series of memory flashbacks, a portion of the content of the next episode, episode 50, is presented in the simplest way.
Since Gu Nan couldn't produce the entire storyline, he could only incorporate parts of the storyline that were above average into some memories in this way.
In this flashback, everyone saw a monster case that they had dealt with not long ago.
Poachers have infiltrated the jungle and captured two young Badtas, a mysterious creature.
To allow enough time to find a buyer and sell at a good price, they injected Badta with the growth inhibitor HKP through a pet broker.
However, Badta's unique constitution allows her to convert toxins into nutrients, and HKP causes her to rapidly grow to enormous size and fall into a ferocious hallucination.
By the time the elite team tracked down the monster, it had completely gone out of control.
It took considerable effort to finally contain it.
It was clearly humanity's fault, yet the monsters were ultimately made to bear the consequences.
This storyline has prompted many people to reflect on their own actions.
At this moment, the vice-captain also stepped forward.
"The same monster can be seen as a good monster by different people, while others will harm it for profit, and still others will see it as a threat."
"We cannot judge the good or evil of a life solely by the standards of human interests."
Hearing what Vice Captain Mizuha said, Kaze also fell silent.
Perhaps this is the best arrangement for the monster.
The night grew deeper.
Just when everyone thought the monster would slowly die in silence.
On the computer screen in the command center, the curves representing the monster's vital signs began to gradually flatten out.
"Life signs have completely dropped to zero..."
However, at this moment, a new fluctuation occurred.
"Wait! What?!"
Rena, who was in charge of monitoring, exclaimed in surprise.
"The vital signs haven't disappeared! On the contrary... they're getting stronger?!"
"What's going on?! What happened?!"
The captain immediately rushed to the control panel.
Tujing is accessing the latest biological waveband data.
His eyes widened as if he were witnessing some incredible miracle.
"Apoptosis! That's right! It's a planned self-destruction of cells!"
Tsuchikage excitedly explained:
"It's instinctively destroying its own cells! It intends to pupate its own body!"
"Pupation?"
"It wants to be reborn in a completely new form!"
"I can't believe it!" Tsuchikage said loudly.
Alkla's reason for letting his body's cells wither away was not to walk towards death.
Instead, it was a resolute act of self-sacrifice that allowed his life to undergo a transformative metamorphosis!
However, this scientific miracle was seen by the defense forces as a completely out-of-control time bomb.
"What's going on, Captain Haruka?"
"Wasn't that monster's time already up?!"
The commander's roar came through the communicator:
"Fine, I won't wait any longer. I'll dispatch the defense forces' attack troops immediately!"
"Please wait a moment!"
"As agreed, we will now begin the attack! Enter red alert status!"
The commander of the defense forces gave no chance to explain and directly issued the kill order.
On the big screen, the defense forces' tank units and fighter jets have begun to assemble in the area where the monster is located.
Captain Qingguang gritted his teeth.
He knew that once the defense forces' orders were given, they could not be changed, and he had indeed made that promise beforehand.
If the elite team doesn't take action, the defense forces' heavy firepower will level the forest.
"Captain! Should we attack too?!"
"Vice Captain Mizuha asked anxiously."
"That's right."
Captain Qingguang reluctantly issued the order:
"Unit 2 is on standby in the air. At the first sign of movement from the monster, we will begin our attack."
"Please wait a moment!"
Musashi suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with resentment.
"The monster is so weak right now, going through the pain of rebirth, how can we attack it at this time?!"
"The weakness is only temporary! That guy will be back to normal soon!"
The wind blew coldly as it spoke:
"It could turn into an even more ferocious monster! It must end this before it's too late!"
"But even if we take a step back, couldn't we at least wait until it finishes its transformation?"
"We don't even know what it will become, how can we judge it guilty like this?!"
Musashi argued his case forcefully, attempting a final attempt to salvage the situation.
"Musashi, the captain is right, everyone is suffering right now."
"But this concerns the safety of the city."
Kaze looked at the excited Musashi and sighed.
As his partner, Kazekatsu knows Musashi all too well.
He knew that having Musashi participate in the attack mission at this time would be worse than killing him.
Musashi will definitely disobey military orders, and then he will face the serious consequences of being court-martialed.
"I really don't understand you."
As Feng Chui spoke, he took a step forward without warning.
"Bang!"
A solid, heavy punch landed hard on Musashi's abdomen!
"Waaah..."
Musashi clutched his stomach in pain, staring at his partner in disbelief.
The intense pain instantly drained his strength, and he collapsed limply to the ground, falling into a coma.
"Just lie here quietly."
Feng Chui tucked his fist in and turned to look at the astonished Vice-Captain Mizuha. He couldn't very well explain that Musashi was Cosmos, could he?
Only in this way can we prevent him from stopping us.
"Let's go."
In Kazefuki's heart, the cruelest thing would be to let Musashi join this attack mission and force him to betray his own beliefs.
In the darkness, fighter jets roared past.
The combined firepower of the elite team and the defense forces poured down on Alkra, who was undergoing a painful transformation, like a storm.
The dazzling flames illuminated the night sky, and the explosions were deafening.
The monster, already in a critical period of transformation, let out a heart-wrenching scream after experiencing intense pain.
Its massive body began to struggle violently, and the carapace that had covered its body was blown to pieces, revealing the pupa inside that emitted a strange light.
The excruciating pain triggered Alkla's survival instincts.
It stood up recklessly and began indiscriminately spewing explosive fireballs in all directions, attempting to retaliate against the humans who had harmed it.
The entire forest was instantly engulfed in flames, and the situation was on the verge of spiraling out of control.
Just then, Musashi, who was lying on the ground, was jolted awake by the pain and the loud noise due to his extraordinary regenerative abilities as the human host of Ultraman.
Looking at the towering flames outside the window, he immediately understood what had happened.
"Alcla..."
Musashi gritted his teeth, enduring the contractions in his abdomen, and pulled out the Sun and Moon Shining Together, which radiated a warm glow, from his robes.
He couldn't just stand by and watch a life that was striving for rebirth die under human prejudice and firepower!
"Gauss—!"
Accompanied by a resolute battle cry.
A dazzling blue beam of light shot up from the ground and soared into the sky!
Amidst a flurry of blue light particles, Ultraman Cosmos in his Luna Mode, exuding an aura of compassion, descended upon the sea of fire with a thunderous roar.
His massive body stood like an indestructible barrier, firmly blocking the human fighter jets from the agonizing monsters!
Gauss slowly turned around and gestured for the fighter jets that were unleashing their firepower to stop.
That unquestionable gesture carried a sacred majesty.
"Gauss..."
Feng Chui looked at the blue giant in front of him and stopped pressing the launch button.
"Cease the attack!" Captain Qingguang immediately issued the order via communicator.
Gauss then made no counterattack, but simply stood there quietly.
Using its own body, it endured the fireballs that Alkra spewed haphazardly out of pain, constantly soothing its restless emotions with gentle light.
In the scene, the night sky is illuminated red by the flames of war.
Gauss stood firmly between the human fighter jets and the agonizing monster Alkra.
Faced with the indiscriminate bombing by the fighter jets and the explosive fireballs spewed haphazardly by the monster in excruciating pain, Gauss made no move to retaliate.
He simply stood there quietly, using his broad back and sturdy chest to withstand all the attacks.
With each explosion of the fireball and each claw strike of the monster, a painful halo rippled across Gauss's body.
But he kept calming the monster Alkra's agitated emotions.
[Holy crap, Master Gao got beaten up so unfairly this time!]
[The defense forces' firepower is too intense! Gauss is taking the brunt of it to protect the monster!]
Is this the spirit of a compassionate hero? Preferring to be wounded oneself rather than give up any life.
Compassion is, after all, a central theme in Gauss's work.
When faced with the monster's attack, Gauss simply deflected and dodged it.
Alkra, who had been manic and riotous, gradually calmed down.
It wasn't because he was successfully appeased, but because his body was on the verge of collapse...
Finally, in his last attack, his fireball only produced a few sparks, and his claw strikes could no longer budge Gauss in the slightest.
Its massive body ceased its violent struggle and instead slumped forward helplessly, emitting low, painful moans.
Seeing this, Gauss quickly caught the enormous body.
Then gently place it on the ground.
Alcla finally ceased its operations.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed.
A shocking transformation occurred in Alcla in the video.
Its thick shell, which had been blasted into pieces, was now peeling off piece by piece, like a withered cocoon shedding its skin.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely dazzling, pure white light burst forth from its broken body!
The light grew brighter and brighter, and finally, to everyone's astonishment, Alkra's enormous body split and disintegrated within the light!
Instead, there were thousands upon thousands of small creatures emitting a soft white light, floating lightly like cosmic dandelions.
They converged in the night sky to form a dazzling Milky Way, slowly rising into the air, like a dream.
"That is..."
Inside the fighter jet, Feng Chui stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
"Snow Star!"
Everyone gasped in surprise.
"Could it be that the monster's transformed form is the Snow Star?!"
[Holy crap! Splitting monster?! A giant monster turned into countless tiny sprites?!]
[It's so beautiful! This is the miracle of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon!]
[It turns out it didn't want to destroy the city at all; it was just releasing excess energy in order to become the Snow Star!]
[This attack by the Defense Forces nearly wiped out the entire universe's environmental protection force.]
Captain Qingguang looked at the snow stars fluttering in the sky on the screen and let out a long sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, the defense force's command center fell into a deathly silence.
The commander stared at the screen, his face ashen, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Because Snow Star is a beneficial creature that even the Defense Force has explicitly issued documents requiring special protection!
"We cannot attack."
Captain Qingguang's tone was calm, yet tinged with sarcasm.
"Snow Star is protected by both the Youth Elite Team and the Defense Force."
"But... it's also possible that Snow Star could grow up and transform into that monster!"
The commander of the defense forces is still trying to find excuses for his recklessness.
"But now, it is the Snow Star."
Captain Haruka retorted without backing down:
"It's a good monster that's beneficial to us."
Afterwards, through a retrospective analysis of the complete data by Tujing, the truth finally came to light.
The monster known as Alkra was not causing destruction from beginning to end.
Its seemingly threatening bursts of fireballs are merely byproducts of its body expelling excess energy, all in order to complete a tragic transformation: breaking itself down from a massive beast into countless light snow stars.
What appears to be a furious attack to humans is merely its final struggle before its rebirth.
"In fact, no living being is born with the intention of harming humans."
Captain Qingguang's voice was deep and gentle, "Everyone is just considering the issue from their own perspective and the interests of humanity."
He gazed at the receding silver river of light on the screen and softly added a sentence.
Let's pray together that we will never again have such an unfortunate encounter with monsters.
