Chapter 329 The Stone Chamber: The Ultimate Determination of a Human Warrior!
Chapter 329 The Stone Chamber: The Ultimate Determination of a Human Warrior!
Inside the command center, blinding red light shone on everyone's face.
"The order to disembark from the air base has been issued. All personnel are requested to evacuate immediately."
"The order to disembark from the air base has been issued. All personnel are requested to evacuate immediately."
The cold, synthesized sound echoed throughout the airbase's hull, penetrating every corridor, every hangar, and every rest area.
Upon hearing the evacuation order, Li Muzi, Qiao Ji, and the others, who were desperately trying to save the situation at the control panel, instantly turned pale.
Tian Dayan of the Falcon team suddenly stood up and took a step forward eagerly.
"Commander! Please allow us one more sortie!"
Wei Weike also stepped forward.
"After luring the monster to a safe altitude, let's deal with it!"
They were unwilling to accept it.
How could this aerial fortress, which represents the highest level of defense for the Earth and represents the culmination of countless efforts by all humankind, be sacrificed as a suicide weapon?
They would rather risk their lives than watch the base crash.
But Director Di Cheng, who was standing next to him, immediately pointed out the harsh reality.
"Almost all the fighter jets capable of fighting monsters have been destroyed! The only ones that can be deployed now are the EX-class fighters!"
Previously, Mochian had simply approached the emitted magnetic field, which caused the XIG's ace fleet to be completely wiped out.
Conventional weapons simply cannot get close now.
With red eyes, the Cool Dragon Team's Captain Inagi loudly volunteered, "Then let me pilot the EX machine!"
Tian Da-yan also pleaded, "No! Please send me!"
"no!"
"commander!"
Everyone looked at the man standing at the front of the bridge, their eyes filled with pleading and desperation.
The commander of the stone chamber stood tall and straight like a pine tree.
Faced with his teammates' request to join the fight, he did not hesitate at all, and did not even look back.
His voice remained firm.
"All personnel, evacuate immediately!"
This was an order, and also his final decision as commander to protect his subordinates.
Subsequently, the people in the command center also prepared to evacuate to the ground along with the main force.
As she walked along the crowd of refugees toward the transport planes carrying people to the ground, Georgie, who had always considered the air base her home, finally couldn't hold back her tears.
"When will this war finally end?"
Li Muzi could only pat her gently to comfort her.
"It will be alright."
Moved by the somber atmosphere, viewers in the live chat were also deeply touched.
If you save the land but lose the people, you lose both; if you save the people but lose the land, you save both.
The base that had been with us for so long is gone just like that.
[It's good that everyone survived!]
……
The scene abruptly shifts to a strange and dark alternate dimension.
This is inside Mochian's body, in that void that seems to be filled with countless floating stars.
Fujimiya shielded the unconscious Irene behind him, his eyes fixed on the Grim Reaper on the high platform.
While the outside world was engulfed in war, this place was filled with a nauseating, deathly silence.
Fujimiya did not succumb to the Grim Reaper's attempt to bribe him.
"Humanity has already suffered greatly because of the constant warfare. Continuing like this is pointless!"
"Her suffering is far deeper than yours! It is thousands of times greater than yours!"
Death looked down at him.
But Fujimiya persisted in refuting him.
"From the moment life first appeared in the universe, the strong have been devouring the energy of the weak."
"It's this kind of war that caused this girl's illness!"
"Shut up!"
The Grim Reaper's right hand, with its massive blade, pointed directly at Fujimiya, attempting to silence him!
"Humans have evolved too fast."
Death gritted his teeth, his voice icy, "They have already threatened our survival."
What merit does Earth possess to deserve this?
Is humanity's potential for development so great that it could threaten the very people it originated from in the future?
[Now that you mention it, it's true. "Too fast and too powerful" refers to a level 0.7 civilization fighting against level 5 civilizations that can traverse space at will.]
[The incredible power of tokusatsu technology!]
To be honest, given the various acts of instigation and aggression shown by the group that led to the collapse of the alliance in the drama, even if what they said is true, their motives are not pure.
Facing the accusations of death.
"You're too arrogant!"
Jing Ling retorted loudly, her voice echoing in the empty space.
She finally saw through the true nature of these so-called "fundamental annihilation entities." They were nothing more than a group of arrogant dictators who, under the guise of purifying the universe, were committing acts of slaughter.
"Those people, they're determined to exterminate humanity!"
"They never considered that we humans are also important life forms born in this universe!"
Fujimiya turned his head and looked at Irene.
As Fujimiya listened to Jingling's words, the face of Ime flashed through his mind, as did the faces of the XIG members who fought desperately to protect the Earth.
His gaze became incredibly resolute. The once extreme, cold-blooded Agul who planned to exterminate humanity solely to save the Earth had undergone a complete spiritual transformation at this moment.
Jingling stared directly at Death, but she uttered the deepest feelings she wanted to share with Fujimiya.
"Although you are determined to be an enemy of humanity, I do not hate you."
"Even though you hate humans, you saved that girl and me. You've saved many lives, you know that?"
Fujimiya and Irene looked into each other's eyes and poured out their hearts to one another.
"I really love the kindness in the human heart."
"And this kind of kindness is something everyone possesses."
"As long as humanity possesses this kind heart and works together to overcome all difficulties, the Earth, the universe... will be saved!"
Upon hearing Jing Ling's words, a mocking sneer slowly appeared on Death's eerie face.
You're wrong.
"What can humans do once they encounter a virus?"
Death had already seen Fujimiya's resolute stance under Jingling's influence. The negotiations broke down, and he no longer wasted words, directly turning into light particles and disappearing.
Undeterred, Fujimiya immediately picked up Irene from the ground and began searching for a breakthrough in this collapsing alternate dimension.
Why can't the Land of Light, which was destroyed, maintain its worldview? Because they truly are an advanced civilization.
[Forget about the Land of Light worldview, they can't even defeat these Destruction Summoning Entities—the new realm of humans in the Ultraman Tiga worldview!]
[If this were Fujimiya from episodes 20 or earlier, she probably would have agreed.]
Alas, human desires run deeper than the roots of Zijella.
[This is to say that other life forms are not aggressive.]
The scene then cuts back to the Earth in reality.
The massive air base is currently undergoing a major evacuation.
The massive hangar doors swung open with a deafening roar, and a gust of wind rushed in.
The Mir transport plane, carrying non-combat personnel and the remaining pilots, slowly detached from the mothership and rapidly retreated to safe airspace.
The once bustling and busy aerial base is now deserted.
The hurried footsteps in the corridor were gone, leaving only the alarm flashing its red light tirelessly.
Inside the control room, the light from the instrument screens appeared unusually cold.
Shi Shi stood in front of the gate, looking at the now empty command room.
"All members have been evacuated."
"Next, the Mir will also be leaving the ship."
Di Cheng looked at the Stone Chamber Commander, who was still standing in front of the control panel, on the screen and urged him loudly.
"Commander, please hurry!"
The commander of the stone chamber did not turn around; his eyes were fixed on the various data of Mochian on the screen.
"Once I confirm the final trajectory, I will disembark in an EX-class aircraft."
"Waiting for you at Geo base."
Upon hearing this, Director Di Cheng took a deep breath, solemnly saluted, and turned to run quickly toward the evacuation route.
Only Shi Shi remained in the command room.
No, there's one more person.
Shi Shi turned around and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
My higher self dream.
Shi Shi's brows immediately furrowed, and his tone became stern.
"Why are you still here?"
"Didn't you hear the order to disembark?"
"Commander, all settings for the EX unit are complete."
I raised my head and looked directly into the commander's eyes.
"Next, it will automatically correct all tracks."
Seeing the stubborn look in my eyes, Commander Ishimura's stern gaze gradually softened.
He knew that I was worried about his safety and was doing everything I could to buy him time to escape.
"Thanks a lot."
"The commander of the stone chamber said softly."
"Go to the EX machine and wait for me."
I nodded vigorously and turned to run towards the hangar.
The huge command center is now truly empty except for Shi Shi.
He turned around and faced the huge tactical screen again.
On the screen, the colossal Mochian, as large as half a moon, was carrying monopole energy powerful enough to tear apart the earth's crust, crashing toward the Earth's surface with unstoppable force.
There is only a little time left before we reach the danger zone.
Commander Shi Shi's eyes turned icy cold. He placed his hands on the physics control lever of the base's main engine.
Without any hesitation, he yanked down the push bar.
"Convert antiproton energy into a magnetic south pole."
boom--!!!
At his command, the entire air base roared to life.
The massive anti-gravity engine began to operate in reverse.
The antiproton energy, originally intended to counteract Earth's gravity and levitate the base, was forcibly converted in an instant.
At this moment, the entire aerial base, hundreds of meters long and weighing tens of thousands of tons, transformed into a massive Antarctic magnet radiating terrifying magnetic force!
Meanwhile, above the Earth, Mochian, carrying the monopole north pole, instantly sensed this powerful anisotropic magnetic field.
The most fundamental laws of physics, namely, like charges repel and opposite charges attract, were magnified countless times at this moment.
Mochian's massive body suddenly stopped, halting its descent.
Immediately afterwards, its terrifying mass began to be firmly attracted by the Antarctic magnetic field emanating from the aerial base below.
The commander of the stone chamber immediately pushed the control lever.
The tail of the aerial base spewed out raging flames as it began its full-speed ascent into outer space.
As the base ascended, Mochian, who was locked in place by the magnetic force, was also drawn in!
It changed its original trajectory and began to move towards a higher, safer airspace.
"The monster has followed us."
Commander Shi Shi watched the coordinate data on the screen rise steadily, and a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"very good."
"Just guide it to a safe altitude."
The plan seems to be progressing very smoothly.
Once the Mochian is dragged far enough out of the atmosphere, the base's self-destruct program will completely destroy it, and Earth will be spared a catastrophe.
The voice of Director Di Cheng, who had safely evacuated to the Peace, came through the communication channel.
"Commander! The monster has reached a safe altitude!"
"Retreat immediately!"
Upon hearing Di Cheng's report, the stone chamber commander loosened his grip on the control stick.
He prepared to activate the base's autopilot lockout and then proceed to the EX aircraft for evacuation.
However, a sudden change occurred!
Crack—Boom!
The entire air base suddenly experienced extremely violent shaking.
The lights in the command room went out instantly, followed by the backup red alarm lights flashing wildly.
Countless sparks erupted from the wiring pipes in the ceiling.
The commander of the stone chamber was thrown back two steps by the sudden tremor, and he barely managed to steady himself by gripping the metal railing beside him.
"Pal! What happened?!"
Shi Shi shouted loudly at the main control system.
The AI Pal's voice immediately rang out, but it pronounced a death sentence.
"The magnetic strength of the anti-gravity device has decreased."
Shi Shi suddenly raised his head and looked at the screen.
The value representing the strength of the Antarctic magnetic field is dropping rapidly.
"How could this happen?!"
Pal relentlessly reported on the damage to the base.
I, from EX, also realized something was wrong and quickly called Ishimuro via communicator.
"Commander! The ship has developed a crack, evacuate immediately!"
The facts speak for themselves.
The structure of the air base was simply unable to withstand the terrifying tearing force generated by dragging Mochian, whose mass was as large as an asteroid.
In addition to the damage caused by the previous attack by Mochian...
The engines are overloaded and the ship is breaking apart.
The magnetic field strength is rapidly decreasing, and Mochian's massive body is showing signs of falling again.
Once the magnetic field completely disappears, Mochian will be like a wild horse, crashing down on the Earth's surface with devastating force.
At this point, there was no time to repair the damaged engine.
There was no time for Commander Ishimura to execute his perfect "luring them away and then withdrawing" plan.
There was only one path in front of the stone chamber.
He glanced at the terrifying behemoth on the screen that was still trying to fall, a resolute glint in his eyes.
He loosened the railing and strode back to the control panel.
His hands gripped the aircraft carrier's direct control wheel tightly.
"Turn the aircraft carrier's course toward the monster!"
The commander of the stone chamber issued the final order.
Since the magnetic field can't hold you back, I'll use this steel body to smash you to pieces in space!
Meanwhile, in the hangar, I just started up the EX machine.
He felt the mothership shaking violently and abnormally.
He turned his head and looked out through the hangar window.
To his shock, the air base did not maintain its ascent and separation posture. Instead, the entire bow of the ship suddenly rose upwards with a suicidal momentum, crashing straight into the enormous Mochian above!
I instantly understood the commander's intention.
The engine is broken.
The commander is going to use the base to directly ram the monster and destroy it together!
"commander!!!"
I let out a heart-wrenching scream in my dream.
He could not bear to watch his superior, who had always taught and protected him like a father, die like this.
He took out the Blue Sapphire Cone.
A dazzling red light erupted inside the hangar, the powerful beam piercing through the base's outer shell.
"Gaia—!!!"
With a roar, the light of the earth appeared in space.
Ultraman Gaia rushed to the top of the aerial base at an extremely fast speed, directly using his body to block the ever-accelerating base and the giant Mochian.
Gaia immediately charged up and used Quantum Stream to attack Mochian!
He wanted to use his own strength to stop the monster and save the aerial base below.
However, the mass and size of the Mochian were truly terrifying.
Quantum streams can only break through the sharp outer shell of a creature, which is like a keratin layer, but they cannot damage its core!
Even Gaia would seem insignificant in the face of this absolute physical mass.
Gaia's energy was rapidly draining away.
But he intends to use other skills to continue stopping them!
Mochian also noticed the giant of light that was blocking his way.
Suddenly, a crack appeared on the giant beast's strange "head"!
Inside, there was a huge, orange-yellow single eye!
The giant, single eye suddenly blazed with light! A massive fireball shot straight at Gaia, who was charging up his photon ice blade!
"Cheers!"
Gaia was sent flying!
But Mochian's offensive did not stop!
Dozens of thick, spiked tentacles shot out like venomous snakes, instantly wrapping around Gaia's arms, torso, and legs, and pulling him in front of him!
"Sizzle—!"
A violent surge of high-voltage current flowed along the tentacles and surged wildly into Gaia's body.
The powerful electric shock caused the space explosion to flash with blinding arcs of light.
"Ugh—!"
Gaia let out an extremely painful scream.
He struggled desperately, but the tentacles tightened their grip, and the powerful electric current paralyzed his entire body. The color timer on his chest lit up red instantly and began to flash rapidly.
Inside the main control room.
Through the observation window in front of him, the commander of the stone chamber could clearly see Gaia being tightly bound by tentacles and suffering cruel electric shocks.
He looked at Imu, who was fighting with all his might to protect them, and saw him struggling in pain.
Shi Shi slammed his fist on the control panel.
"Concentrate all remaining firepower on this attack!"
He demanded that Pal activate the remaining weapon systems on the entire ship.
"We must rescue him!"
At his command, the few remaining mortar emplacements and machine guns of the air base simultaneously opened fire on the tentacles that were entangled with Gaia.
However, these sporadic artillery shots were utterly ineffective against Mochian's formidable defenses.
Even after launching only one attack, it was shattered by the light bullets fired by Mochian!
The base was on the verge of collapse.
With an emotionless voice, Parna began the final countdown to death.
"Turret No. 4 is completely destroyed."
"EX units cannot leave the ship."
"The anti-gravity device is damaged."
"Explosion in 45 seconds."
Upon hearing the countdown, Commander Ishimura remained completely calm.
He gripped the control lever tightly and pushed the lever to its lowest position.
"Full speed attack!!!"
This roar was his final battle song as the supreme commander of the human defense forces against the entity that brought about destruction.
The dilapidated air base, trailing long plumes of black smoke and flames, charged headlong into the seemingly invincible enemy.
"Explosion in 30 seconds."
At that moment, the voices of the team members who had already evacuated came through the communication channel.
Director Di Cheng's voice, which was always calm and composed, had completely changed at this moment.
"commander!"
Li Muzi, Qiao Ji, Wei Weike, and others also cried out in despair and fear.
"Commander! Run!"
"Hurry up, Commander!!!"
The heart-wrenching cries echoed in the control room.
But the commander of the stone chamber turned a deaf ear.
His gaze was resolute, like an unshakeable statue.
He looked at the enormous creature that was getting closer and closer, his eyes showing no fear of death, only the composure and fearlessness of guarding this land.
"Explosion in 10 seconds."
The moment Pal's cold voice fell.
Viewers who were initially too tense and suffocating to post comments on the screen finally let their emotions overflow at this moment.
The dense barrage of comments, like a tsunami, instantly covered the entire screen.
No!!!
[Commander of the Stone Chamber! Run!]
Please, just abandon ship!
Don't crash! Please don't crash!
[I'm begging you, think of something quick! Save the Commander!]
[You can't die! What will happen to XIG if you die!]
[You old scoundrel Gu, try writing him to die!]
【No--!!!】
