PDLP Chapter 340 The Most Powerful Enemy, Without Hope
Chapter 340 The Most Powerful Enemy, Without Hope
Under the absolute power of the angels, Gaia and Agul could no longer hold on.
They collapsed in the ruins, utterly drained of their strength...
Ironically, the orchestral music, as sacred as that in a church, still didn't stop!
The angel hovered in mid-air, its pure white robes fluttering even without wind.
She lowered her eyes to look at the two helpless figures on the ground, and gently lifted her fingertips.
Suddenly, the red light on Gaia and the blue light on Agul were drawn together by an invisible force. The two colors of light broke free from their bodies and turned into tiny particles of light, rushing towards the pure white.
"Gaia's energy...light...has vanished."
With desperate cries, on the screen, Gaia and Agul's enormous bodies transformed into countless particles of light, completely dissipating under the dim sky.
The last remaining light was devoured by the angels as if they were feeding on them.
At this moment, Jing Ling of KCB could no longer suppress her emotions!
"Tabata! Stop filming!"
But as Lunwen took two steps forward, the camera continued to faithfully transmit the scene to the world.
"Lunwen!"
In the center of the battlefield, only a desolate ruin and billowing smoke remained.
But the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.
The camera zooms in.
Where the light faded, the giant of light was gone; in its place lay two wounded young humans lying among the rubble.
My higher self dream.
Fujimiya.
This scene was shown without reservation on every screen around the world that was watching the live television broadcast.
Jing Ling's eyes were filled with tears.
"Fujimiya..."
People in shelters around the world were also shocked.
"Ultraman is...human?"
"What exactly happened...?"
"This is unbelievable, incredible, is it really true?"
"We had no idea they were human!"
Inside the shelter, everyone was stunned into silence.
Inside the Geo base, my teammates, who had spent so much time with me, were too shocked to speak.
In my dream home, his parents looked at the familiar face on the television screen, tears streaming down their faces.
"I dreamt..."
"Impossible, how could such a thing happen..." My father couldn't believe his eyes.
"Look, look carefully! That's my dream!" My Dream's mother pointed at the screen, her voice trembling. "This child... he's been keeping it from us all this time..."
After a brief pause, the comments section erupted in a frenzy:
[His identity has been exposed! He's been exposed in front of the whole world!]
[It's too tragic; gods have fallen and become mortals.]
Ordinary people always thought that the protectors of the Earth were gods, only to discover that the gods were just two young people who could bleed.
[Lunwen, stop filming! How are they supposed to live after this?!]
Amidst the ruins, Lunwen stared blankly at the two figures in the camera's view.
"I... how did I manage to upload the footage..."
He frantically tried to turn off the machine, overwhelmed by immense self-reproach. What had he done?!
Tian Duan grabbed his hand.
"Lunwen".
Tabata stared straight ahead. "Reporting things truthfully is our duty, do you understand?"
"but……"
"Lunwen, lie down!"
Suddenly, Tian Duan saw the angel's movements in the distance and tackled Lunwen to the ground.
In the sky, the angel Zog clearly still harbored murderous intent towards the two humans.
It slowly raised its hands, which flashed with a deadly light, preparing to deliver the final blow to Gamu and Fujimiya on the ground.
At this critical moment.
Suddenly, an extremely piercing engine roar came from the horizon.
A fighter jet, its exterior charred black, shot through the clouds like an arrow and headed straight for the battlefield!
It's an EX fighter jet!
In the command center, everyone was stunned.
"Who was driving?!"
"Driverless! It's Pal!"
That was the artificial intelligence navigator that I created with my own hands. At this moment, in order to protect its creator, it resolutely charged towards that invincible god!
On the ground, Hercules also seized the opportunity!
"Let's go save the chewing gum!"
"Alright! Launch the Grenad missile!"
The Sting locked onto the Angel and launched all its missiles!
Obstructed by the last remaining forces in the sky and on the ground.
Boom boom boom!
The explosion landed on the angel, causing no real damage, but it successfully enraged the angel.
A violent beam of destructive light shot from the angel's eyes, attempting to shatter the annoying metal worm.
However, the Sting did not dodge at all. Hercules' team piloted it to turn its fuselage and actively used its armor to meet the light!
They must buy time for the rescue teams on the ground!
At that moment, Pal in the air was also targeted by the angels!
One-handed wave bullet!
Boom—!
A violent explosion lit up the sky, and the EX fighter jet was completely blown to pieces.
The angel glanced coldly at the smoke below, seemingly quite satisfied with this "work" called despair.
It did not continue the pursuit, but instead, with a flash, it gracefully disappeared into the sky.
[Despair, utter despair!]
[Oh no, all the light has been taken away!]
[Waaaaah! My Pal!]
[But Pal shouldn't die, right? There must be a backup for the AI!]
[Seriously, the Sting is really tough! It took a hit from an angel's energy blast and the people inside are fine!]
The scene changes.
My consciousness fell into an endless desert of yellow sand and ruins, the wind swirling sand and gravel past my ears, raising choking dust.
This is clearly the scene he had dreamed of.
In the distance, Gaia and Agul's figures transformed into two yellowish stone statues, half of their bodies buried by quicksand, standing silently in the desolate world, as if unchanged since time immemorial.
Fujimiya's voice rang out amidst the sandstorm.
"That angelic thing was created to defeat us."
He gazed at the silhouette of the stone statue eroded by wind and sand, "The ultimate weapon is an angel; it seems they really want to pretend to be a god."
He paused, then lowered his eyes: "But we didn't win."
"But we didn't lose!"
My dream suddenly looked up, still unwilling to admit defeat!
He instinctively raised his hand, wanting to take out the transformation device!
However, the brilliant light that once shone on the blue crystal of the sapphire cone had long since been extinguished!
"Click..."
A faint cracking sound rang out, and the transformation device began to break apart, with cracks spreading like a spider web.
My pupils constricted suddenly as I watched it shatter into countless fragments in my palm, vanishing without a trace with the wind and sand.
"ah!!!"
I was jolted awake from my dream, my chest heaving violently, and cold sweat instantly soaked my back.
The sound of sand rubbing against each other and the heart-stopping cracking sound still seemed to linger in his ears.
He found himself not dead, but lying in a slightly cramped apartment.
"You're awake?"
Three familiar faces came closer.
They were his three best friends and roommates at Chengnan University.
"Where am I..." I sat up weakly.
"You're awake! You look great!" My roommate handed me a glass of water.
"How did I get here?" I asked, puzzled.
"Sato said he wanted to save you, and then he turned around and rushed out."
However, they heard that Fujimiya was missing, and the group couldn't find him at the scene.
I lowered my head and glanced at the dim blue sapphire cone in my hand.
A deep sense of powerlessness spread from the bottom of my heart.
The light has truly disappeared.
"How's the situation outside?" I asked in my dream.
The other roommate sighed and turned on the TV.
"All network and communication equipment have been cut off."
I didn't believe it, so I quickly turned on my computer, only to find that I couldn't even connect to the Alchemist Star network.
Right now, only television lines are still operational worldwide.
On the television screen, footage of Gaia and Agul's crushing defeat and their return to human form was playing on a loop.
In that instant, I understood something.
This is not a technical glitch at all.
This is intentional on the part of the Destruction-Inducing Body.
They severed all hope of connection between humans, leaving only television, so that people all over the world would repeatedly watch the scenes of Ultraman's defeat, let them personally taste the bitterness of despair, and thus completely collapse!
Not only that, my roommate walked to the window and carefully lifted a corner of the curtain.
"Damn it, we've been discovered here."
When I went over to take a look, I was immediately taken aback.
Downstairs, a dense crowd had gathered.
Countless media reporters carrying cameras and microphones, along with a large number of onlookers with complex expressions, had completely surrounded the apartment building.
"There's someone who looks like Ultraman here!"
Shouts echoed from the crowd.
"They're trying to find out what I dreamed about!"
Is it fear or a distorted sense of justice?
Whether driven by fear of losing protection or by some twisted sense of justice, the crowd seemed like a group of irrational madmen, seeking the final answer from my dream.
The comments section was filled with sighs:
This is so true; this is human nature.
[The Allure of Journalism]
[Back to the movie version, being chased by a group of children]
We three roommates are true brothers!
These three brothers are truly loyal and always ready to help each other in times of trouble. They didn't distance themselves from me because of my identity as Ultraman.
[As soon as Sato saw the news that Ultraman had disappeared, I immediately rushed out. This guy might be a bit of a lecher, but he's really something when it comes to action!]
Without Ultraman's protection, humanity's defenses have collapsed.
It's truly a case of creating gods and then destroying them.
[Keeping the TV on is a vicious tactic, designed to kill without hurting the spirit.]
After the three climbed out of the window, they successfully distanced themselves from the crowd surrounding Ultraman's human form.
"Stop talking, let's get out of here!" My roommate said decisively.
"The person they're looking for is me." I didn't want to implicate my friends.
"At this point, of course we should be together!"
Acheng snatched Womeng's XIG team jersey jacket and put it on himself. "Womeng, give me the jacket! I'll distract them!"
Under the cover of his three good buddies, Acheng rushed towards the front gate in his team uniform, instantly attracting the attention of all the media.
I dreamt that I took advantage of the chaos to run wildly through the alleyways.
As he ran a few blocks and stopped, panting, a car suddenly stopped in front of him.
The car door opened, revealing Jing Ling and several familiar companions.
"Get in the car!" Jing Ling called out anxiously.
I dreamt I jumped into the car, and it sped away.
……
at the same time.
The situation on Earth is deteriorating at a visible rate.
Without sunlight, temperatures around the world began to plummet, and even the oxygen content in the atmosphere decreased dramatically.
Earth's ecosystem is heading towards complete death.
Inside the command center of Geo base.
A high-ranking representative of the GUARD, the highest defense organization, stood before the stone chamber commander with a grim expression.
His appearance is very distinctive; he's bald.
"Disarm the GUARD."
However, the news he brought was something many people didn't want to hear, yet it was a helpless act: "Do everything you can to save lives, save as many as possible."
Everyone was stunned.
The bald representative continued, "After discussions among various countries, it has been decided to proceed to the final stage."
The so-called final procedure is to completely abandon all armed resistance, recognize the Destruction Bringers as invincible high-intelligence beings, and... surrender to them and seek peace talks.
"Is this the final conclusion reached after unified discussions among the GUARD organizations of various countries?" Staff Officer Ye Qian asked.
The air fell into a deathly silence.
"With the sunlight blocked, the temperature gradually dropping, and the atmospheric oxygen content decreasing, is there any other way besides the final stage?!"
"There must be other ways to solve this!" Director Di Cheng couldn't help but say.
The bald representative ignored him and stared intently at the stone chamber: "Commander, is everything alright? Please disarm."
The commander in the stone chamber was ashen-faced.
Under the hopeful gazes of his teammates, he looked at the dark cities shrouded in demonic insects on the screen, his eyes blazing, and gave his answer, word by word:
"I refuse."
The bald representative's eyes widened suddenly: "What did you say?"
"What the Root of Destruction blocks is not just sunlight." The stone chamber's voice remained as firm as ever.
Staff Officer Ye Qian nodded and added:
"There is still humanity!"
"Think about it, why did the enemy only leave behind television cables?"
"They want people to see Ultraman fail, so they'll lose hope!"
"The goal is to control people's hearts and minds, to plunge the entire world into darkness!"
Shi Shi stepped forward, his aura overwhelming: "But right now, we still have the fighting power! No... it should be the will to fight, and the dignity of being human!"
The bald representative lowered his head slightly and shouted angrily, "You mean, XIG is going to disobey the GUARD's orders?! This is treason!"
Shi Shi stared intently at the bald representative.
"What we need to protect is not the GUARD organization."
"But rather, it's humans on Earth."
The screen was flooded with comments at this moment:
We would rather die in battle and lose our country than surrender our land.
[Tears welled up in my eyes! This is a hymn to humanity!]
[Ishimura is a true man! So incredibly handsome!]
Why are all the surrender faction members bald?
Is there anything else related to Chiang Kai-shek?
What are you referring to?
Is this a bit too subtle?
Even without Ultraman, the human will has not yielded!
The defense force will never surrender!
