Chapter 378 Absolute perfection does not exist; a battle with Gauss at body length.
Two hundred billion people?!
Musashi gasped and couldn't help but retort loudly.
How is that possible? The Earth is already overburdened just by accommodating the current billions of people. If another two hundred billion were added, it would be an unimaginable disaster.
Xu Zekou remained rational and tried to resolve the issue through negotiation.
As a scientist, she believed this might be a golden opportunity for a leap forward in human technology, so she took the initiative to negotiate and wanted to learn more about their relocation plans.
But Gigi didn't take humans seriously at all.
In their view, the so-called negotiations were nothing more than a one-sided notification.
They even arrogantly stated that humans and animals would be shrunk down and live like domesticated pets in these mass-produced model towns.
Viewers watching on screen were immediately bombarded with comments, a mix of anger and criticism.
Two hundred billion people? That's more prolific than Baltan!
[Oh my god, Baltan and Dada have merged!]
【Wait a minute? Even if you shrunk all of humanity to one percent, they still wouldn't be able to fit in!】
They should probably reduce their population by 200 billion.
[Isn't this just one-sided domestication? This alien looks like it's wearing striped pajamas, but it's quite ruthless.]
At this moment, all intelligent signals within the maze had been interrupted, leaving Xu Zekou and the others in a desperate and helpless situation.
At this critical moment, Captain Qingguang pulled out an old-fashioned communication detector from his pocket, which had a retro design and looked extremely bulky.
"Tek Thunder, Tek Thunder, please respond!" Captain Sunlight called out into the old-fashioned communicator, just to give it a try.
An incredible scene unfolded: in an environment of intense electromagnetic interference where all precision instruments failed, this rough-and-ready retro machine, which Xu Zekou described as far from perfect, actually emitted a hissing sound of electricity!
"This is Tyrannosaurus Rex 1, Windblown!"
The anxious sound of the wind could be clearly heard through the communicator.
Upon seeing this, Captain Qingguang immediately explained his situation:
"We and the researchers were taken hostage by the invaders inside the facility!"
In this desperate situation, it was this "imperfect" device that Xu Zekou had disliked that made a huge contribution.
Viewers were once again captivated by Gu Nan's plot twist.
[The old-fashioned technology still saves the world.]
[Suddenly reminded me of that incredible WWII battleship that used its anchor to drift and destroy an alien warship!]
Perhaps the ultimate goal of technology is to return to simplicity!
[A prayer can bring great joy to the machine's spirit!]
Upon learning that his teammates were waiting outside, Musashi immediately knew he couldn't wait any longer and had to take immediate action.
But getting away under such intense public scrutiny was no easy task. So, he came up with an incredibly clumsy and charlatan-like excuse.
"I...I need to find the exit alone!"
As Musashi spoke, ignoring everyone else's reactions, he turned and ran into a dark corner of the maze.
The video's comments section was instantly flooded with question marks.
【? ? ? ? 】
[It's torn...]
[Finding an exit? What the hell?! A maze model suspended in mid-air—where are you going to find an exit? Musashi, that's a really lame excuse!]
Musashi just left, and Gauss has arrived...
Even saying you had a stomachache and needed to use the restroom would be better than this!
Okay, okay, I know what you're up to. Go transform now, and I'll pretend I didn't see anything.
Musashi ran to a deserted, secluded corner, and after confirming it was safe, he pulled out his transformation device without hesitation.
A dazzling blue light instantly pierced the eerie crimson sky above the maze, and Ultraman Cosmos finally made his appearance!
This time, Gauss did not appear in his gigantic form, which was tens of meters tall. Instead, he showed his life-size form for the first time, appearing in the maze as tall as an ordinary person.
Face those Jijis head on.
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of Ultraman Cosmos, Gigi immediately realized that peaceful communication was no longer an option.
It directly made a harsh statement:
"Since humanity has abandoned such a perfect solution, it is truly regrettable that they have chosen to resort to armed negotiation."
Subsequently, Gigi's body began to undergo drastic changes, growing gigantically in a distorted spatial fluctuation, transforming into a colossal creature 52 meters tall and weighing 47,000 tons, attempting to destroy all obstacles with absolute force!
Upon seeing this, Gauss did not immediately grow to gigantic size to fight the enemy, but instead immediately used a brand new skill - "Gauss Restoration".
A warm and gentle azure light, like spring rain, fell and instantly enveloped Captain Qingguang, Xu Zekou, and the others in the maze.
Under the influence of this magical force, they were successfully rescued from the alien technology that shrunk their bodies, restored them to their normal size, and transported to a safe area.
Their speed was so great that they didn't notice Musashi's disappearance...
After doing all this, Gauss's body also swelled, transforming into a gigantic figure tens of meters tall, to confront the giant Gigi.
The battle is imminent!
Gauss raised his hands and assumed his signature Tai Chi starting stance, thinking he would have no trouble dealing with this seemingly weak striped alien.
But Gigi displayed an extremely amazing ability to move through space.
It uses a special device on its head to move instantly across the battlefield, its form like a ghost.
Gauss's powerful punches repeatedly missed their mark; no matter how hard he chased, he could not touch its substance.
Not only that, Gigi also created multiple afterimage clones through rapid movement, surrounding Gauss and unleashing several powerful destructive laser cannons.
"Boom! Boom!"
Despite being surrounded by Gigi's clones, the light surrounding Gauss remained perfectly undisturbed.
Countless attacks rained down on him, and the explosions of fire and smoke instantly engulfed him. But amidst the raging heat, a dazzling red light suddenly pierced through the chaos!
Corona Mode!
Red light patterns flowed across his body like flames, giving his originally soft features a sharp edge, and even the air felt scorching hot.
Gauss stretched his body amidst the exploding debris, his eyes now sharper. The next second, his figure darted between his clones like a crimson meteor, his attack suddenly becoming swift and intense.
Compared to the original work, where Gauss was unable to dodge and was hit by the laser repeatedly, resulting in a significant weakening, the original Gauss was weakened.
Gu Nan directly modified the fight scenes here.
If he were to make a completely 1:1 replica, the comments section would probably be full of complaints like, "Master Gao, is he really going to start with a red light?!"
It's not like we haven't fought monsters that can create clones or teleport; Neo Baltan is a prime example.
However, considering that Cosmos struggled so much against Pigmon before, it seems quite reasonable that he is now fighting Gigi in his Corona Mode War Song form.
Progress has been made, there has definitely been progress...
……
In the plot.
The deafening roar of fighter jets echoed through the sky.
Vice Captains Fengchui and Shuiye arrived in the airspace above the battlefield in time, piloting the Keneng Thunder fighter jet.
"Cover Ultraman Cosmos! Alpha Formation!" Feng Chui shouted from inside the cockpit, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.
The fighter jet drew a sharp arc in the air, precisely locking onto the special device on Gigi's head, and opened fire fiercely.
Several high-explosive laser projectiles struck Gigi's head accurately, exploding into large bursts of sparks.
This powerful blow instantly and severely injured the alien, shattering its teleportation advantage and leaving it frozen in place.
Gauss keenly seized this fleeting opportunity and immediately launched a merciless counterattack!
What followed was a brutal, one-sided beating...
Gigi could only scream in pain!
"yeyeyeeeeee!!!"
Meanwhile, inside the research institute, Captain Qingguang and Xu Zekou, guided by another tall researcher, finally returned to the original scene of the incident and found the tray of the high-tech quantum teleportation device that Gigi used when she came to Earth.
This seemingly unremarkable metal tray is not only a portal connecting to another dimension, but also a core hub for transmitting energy to aliens.
"If we destroy this, it might make their existence in this dimension unstable."
Xu Zekou looked at the device before him, a glint of researcher's fervor flashing in his eyes. "But this is also crucial data that can advance human science!"
She tried to stop the captain from destroying it, believing that with the talents of human scientists, one day they would be able to study it thoroughly and benefit humanity.
However, Captain Haruka remained perfectly sober.
"Wait a minute, this might be hard for someone as oblivious as you to understand, but breaking it down imperfectly is extremely dangerous." Captain Qingguang shook his head, his tone resolute.
Given humanity's current imperfect level of technology, blindly venturing into this unknown force capable of destroying dimensions will only bring about irreversible disaster.
Without hesitation, Captain Qingguang grabbed a thick steel pipe lying nearby, aimed it at the energy transmitter, and smashed it down with all his might!
"Bang!"
Sparks flew as the sophisticated quantum teleportation device was instantly smashed to pieces by the physics hacker!
With the teleportation device shattered, Gigi, who was already beaten and unable to stand, suffered even worse after losing the power supply from the rear.
It instantly descended into extreme chaos and pain, its massive body beginning to twist violently, emitting a piercing scream.
Gauss, of course, would not let this excellent opportunity slip by.
He quickly crossed his hands in front of his chest, gathering the vast amount of light energy within him into a single point, and then thrust his arms forward with a powerful thrust.
Nebuster Ray!
A violent red beam of destruction roared out, carrying a terrifying momentum that could destroy everything in its path and burn everything in its path, and accurately struck Gigi's chest.
"BOOM—!!!"
A deafening explosion resounded through the sky. Gigi's massive body completely collapsed in the blinding light, blasted into countless fragments by the raging beam of light, turning into a giant fireball.
The battle is over, and the crisis is over.
As the sun set, the sky was dyed a warm orange-red. Captain Qingguang and Xu Zekou walked side by side outside the ruins of the research institute.
Having gone through this harrowing ordeal, the rift between the two, which stemmed from their differing beliefs, seemed to have quietly dissipated.
Captain Qingguang stopped and took out the ring he had found in the conference room from his pocket, solemnly handing it back to Xu Zekou.
"You are still a perfect woman, just like always."
"You're still a bit of a simpleton, aren't you?"
"You're still wearing it? My ring," Captain Qingguang said softly, a hint of tenderness flickering in his usually resolute eyes.
That was the only gift he ever gave her.
Xu Zekou took the ring, gently stroking it. Looking at the middle-aged man who had risked his life to save her, a relieved smile appeared on her lips: "This is the only gift you've ever given me, but I will never change it in this lifetime."
The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.
They turned and left in tacit agreement, preparing to have a long-awaited dinner, as if they had returned to their youthful days.
In the midst of this incredibly romantic atmosphere, an untimely voice came anxiously from behind.
"Hey! Where am I? Wait for me!"
Musashi caught up from behind, panting, and looked at the two people gradually disappearing into the distance, his face full of grievance and confusion.
In the end, the world where only the male protagonist was forgotten was tragically achieved.
As Musashi cried out in despair, the scene gradually zoomed out and froze, and the stirring ending theme slowly began to play.
The eighth episode of "Ultraman Cosmos" concluded successfully in a wonderful atmosphere that blended thrills, excitement, and heartwarming moments.
After the main feature ended, the internet became a sea of joy and heated discussion.
Discussions about this episode are going strong in various tokusatsu (special effects) chat groups, online forums, and video discussion boards, with viewers sharing their opinions.
[This is hilarious! Poor Musashi, after defeating the monster, he became a third wheel. He's definitely a pure tool.]
[Our captain's finally found love! Turns out our steady, reliable guy is still single!]
[Looks like she's out of the single life now! I'm totally shipping this older man and female PhD student couple. The proud and aloof female PhD student paired with the easygoing older man—a perfect match!]
The clash between perfection and imperfection is so captivating!
