SEC Chapter 391 The Eclipse Begins: A Warrior Lost in Power!
Chapter 391 The Eclipse Begins: A Warrior Lost in Power!
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
It was exactly 8 p.m.
Major video platforms updated on time, and episode 13 of "Ultraman Cosmos" was officially released!
In Gu Nan's original world, episodes 26, 28, 29, and 30 of "Ultraman Cosmos" are essentially a continuous story.
Episode 27, titled "The Cosmic Monster Born on Earth," is also a good one.
The gist of the story is about a pregnant female alien monster whose body temperature rises too high during childbirth, so she comes to Earth to find the ocean to cool down, and Master Gao helps her as a midwife.
It also echoes the theme of love and gentleness in "Ultraman Cosmos".
However, if this episode is adjusted and episodes 26, 28, 29, and 30 are watched together, the plot will be more coherent.
It tells the story of Gauss's major setback in the battle against the Chaos Virus, and his eventual comeback to gain a new form.
That is, Master Gao's solar eclipse pattern!
A supermodel who beats you up while reasoning with you!
It shares similarities with the Gaia Supreme Type and belongs to the same category.
Since that's the case, let's merge them into a super long series!
So Gu Nan turned the three episodes into an extra-long story that lasts more than an hour.
Let's treat this as a major mid-term event.
The screen lights up, and a powerful title slowly appears in the center: "Solar Eclipse".
The episode doesn't immediately jump into a tense and exciting battle scene; instead, it takes us to the command center of the elite youth team, a space filled with everyday technology.
At this moment, the command room was filled with an indescribable, strange, and comical atmosphere.
At this moment, the first viewers who clicked in couldn't help but start spamming the comments section when they saw the astonishing length of the progress bar:
[Awesome! I declare the length of the progress bar is the length of Gu Nan!]
[Just now, who was this person? Where is Gu Nan from? /doge...]
[I'm so sad! This episode is almost an hour and a half long!]
[Thanks to the old thief for treating me to a free movie]
Are you treating this movie like a TV series? Haki, you bastard!
The story begins.
Haru Musashi, who usually appears timid and mild-mannered, was rubbing his wrists.
However, the atmosphere at headquarters seemed very strange.
"Really? They won? Ending their 38-game losing streak!"
Tu Jing sat in front of the computer, his face filled with disbelief.
He looked Musashi up and down, and asked in a sarcastic tone,
"Tell me honestly, did you cheat, Musashi? Like gouging out his eyes or biting him or anything?"
Vice-Captain Mizuha slapped Tsuchikage in an annoyed manner.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Suddenly, the door was opened.
The camera zooms in, and everyone's attention is focused on one person—the former undefeated general of the defense force, Windblown Team Member.
He was listless and weak from the wind, and his body was covered in wounds.
Tu Jing quickly went up to inquire.
But even the wind seemed impatient.
"I admit defeat, I accept it, is that alright?"
Feng Chui turned his head away irritably, his tone tinged with embarrassment.
Seeing this starkly contrasting scene, the comments section on the screen instantly erupted in laughter.
[Musashi defeated the wind, why would I have such a dream?]
[Thirty-eight consecutive losses? Has Musashi finally left the beginner's village?]
[He's the human form of Ultraman, it would be strange if he lost!]
Was Musashi really that weak before? Looks like it's time for some jeep training!
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Rena, the cute one, rushed in and interrupted everyone's teasing.
"Why is everyone still so relaxed? The TV crew is coming!"
"We're about to be interviewed for our news program!"
Rena was beaming with excitement. She not only changed into a clean team uniform but also touched up her makeup.
"Isn't the interview supposed to start in the afternoon?"
Tu Jing complained.
"You need to prepare in advance!"
Rena rolled her eyes at him.
Just as everyone was fooling around, Captain Haruka noticed a subtle, very strange atmosphere between Kaze and Musashi.
In order to find out the mental state of the two core members of the team, Captain Qingguang quietly followed Fengchui into the quiet corridor.
"What happened during your fight with Musashi today?"
"You two seemed a little strange just now."
The captain leaned against the wall and asked earnestly.
Feng Chui sighed. Facing his elders, he abandoned his usual arrogance and his expression became unusually serious.
"He was beaten by Musashi. He didn't hold back at all today."
As Feng Chui recalled the scene on the arena, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. "Musashi in the past was always afraid of hurting others and would never have taken such a forceful action."
"Although that was his weakness, it was also part of his character."
"But today, he showed no mercy. He seemed very anxious, eager to prove something."
The wind's words left the question unanswered.
……
The scene shifts, and the afternoon's television interview officially begins.
However, this interview, which was aimed at all residents of Kyungju City, was not as easy and pleasant as everyone had imagined.
The reporter immediately displayed an aggressive attitude, posing very sharp questions.
"Even though your Eyes team wanted to protect the monsters, in the end most of the time it turned into attacking them."
The reporter's gaze was fixed on Captain Qingguang: "About that monster Eligar that wasn't ferocious before."
"We know it's a docile monster."
"But when you were about to capture it, it sprayed out poisonous gas."
"We had no choice but to take the attack because the site was very close to residential houses."
The reporter paused, then his tone became aggressive:
"Your elite youth team holds the power of life and death over the monsters!"
"Have you even given this serious consideration? I highly doubt it! Your retaliation is far too rash!"
As soon as this scene unfolded, the live stream chat exploded with arguments.
It's easy to talk when you're not in the situation! If the defense force is in danger, are they just supposed to wait to die without fighting back?
[Still a troublemaker in the tokusatsu genre! I think you deserve a good slap to correct your character!]
[So this is what a true leftist is like! Even a monster's life matters.]
[666! What a lucky life!]
[The elite team usually risks their lives to protect the city, and they don't even say thank you for your hard work, but they come in here and start morally judging us?]
Faced with the reporter's difficult questions, the team members were all seething with anger.
Captain Seikou maintained his composure, attempting to explain that they were doing their best to minimize casualties and find a balance between protecting the monsters and humans.
Finally, the group of sarcastic reporters left the headquarters without any apparent remorse for offending anyone.
After the reporter left, noticing the tense atmosphere within the team, Captain Qingguang spoke up:
"Are you all still thinking about the interview we just had?"
"Public opinion is extreme. There are opinions that think protecting monsters is not worth mentioning, and there are opinions like today's."
Even the wind was raging, because he had personally carried out the order to fire.
"Whether it's saving the monster or preventing the disaster, you're forced to make a choice, and you're forced to attack. In the end, it's always the same."
However, Musashi, who usually champions the idea of protecting monsters, suddenly erupted at this moment!
Musashi slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"What exactly is the purpose of the elite youth team?! Attack immediately! In a sense, it's because we're still too weak!"
His voice carried a long-suppressed anger and resentment:
"Because our strength is insufficient, we immediately feel fear, which is why we've started focusing on offense! We must become stronger and increase our power!"
These remarks completely shocked everyone present.
This is not something a peace-loving team member should say.
Has Musashi turned to the dark side?
[Goodness, it's starting to crave power?]
[Afraid of tiles!]
Why don't you just activate a solar corona?
Captain Haruka called Musashi aside to the training room.
The two began sparring!
Even though Musashi's attacks were fierce, the experienced Captain Haruko managed to parry them all.
Finally, seizing the right opportunity, he used a grappling and throw to subdue Musashi.
Seeing Musashi gradually calm down, the captain's voice was deep and wise:
"Well done, Musashi!"
Musashi also spoke his mind to the captain.
"I desperately want power right now!"
Why do you want power?
"Because I want to become stronger! The stronger I become, the better I can protect all the monsters!"
"Musashi, do you think becoming stronger is the same as increasing your power?"
Musashi stubbornly turned his head away, his hands clenched into fists:
"I want greater power."
"Because now, an enemy surpassing Gauss's power is about to appear!"
"Without sufficient power, nothing can be accomplished! Only by becoming stronger can we better protect the monsters!"
Musashi's anxiety was not unfounded.
In the previous battles, both the terrifying suppressive power of Chaos's true form, Ibris, and the continuous evolution of the virus had put Gauss in a difficult situation.
That was the first time he had faced an enemy that he couldn't defeat on his own without external interference...
This feeling of helplessness, that he could lose everything at any moment, drove Musashi to a complete dead end.
"I believe that not relying on force is also a form of strength."
The captain looked into Musashi's eyes and earnestly advised him.
"You used to have a gentleness that showed consideration for your opponents."
"If you excessively pursue power and rely on power, you will become tough and lose compassion and gentleness."
That's the scariest thing.
However, Musashi, already deeply entrenched in his obsession, was completely deaf to his captain's earnest advice.
He remains convinced that he needs to become stronger.
Oh~~ A demon has appeared in my heart!
Indeed, Master Gao's starting point was too high. He was invincible since the prequel movie, rarely suffering any setbacks. Now, suddenly facing a formidable opponent, his mentality has collapsed.
However, if this continues, he might go mad with demonic possession.
[By the way, will the Chaos virus take this opportunity to cause trouble?]
Just then, the base's highest-level alarm suddenly sounded.
"A monster has appeared in the K-3 area of Kyoto City!"
The monster's image appeared on the big screen.
It is the same poisonous gas monster mentioned in the previous interview—Erigar!
"It looks so strange, it seems to be in a lot of pain."
Feng Chui looked at the giant beast struggling on the screen and quickly analyzed the situation.
"Is there any reaction to the Chaos virus?"
The captain immediately pressed for answers.
"No head reaction was detected in Chaos."
Tu Jing typed rapidly on the keyboard, observing the stable data bands and drawing conclusions.
Facing this monster that they had previously failed to capture, the elite youth team was on high alert.
Eligar contains extremely dangerous toxic gas; a large-scale leak would have unimaginable consequences.
Seeing the suffering monster, Musashi secretly made up his mind.
"This time, we must protect Eligar safely!"
the other side.
To prevent toxic gas leaks, Tujing specially prepared a specially made "adhesive bomb".
The battle plan was clear: while the monster was still, use sticky bombs to directly block its spray glands and forcibly seal its poison gas attack.
"However, this operation is extremely risky."
Tsuchikage solemnly warned everyone, "Because the fighter jet must hover at extremely close range to accurately fire the sticky bomb."
"If the monster suddenly spews poison gas during this time, the fighter jet will suffer a direct and devastating attack!"
This was undoubtedly an adventure of dancing on the edge of a knife.
When the fighter jets arrived on the battlefield.
"Captain, let me do it!"
Musashi volunteered for the battle without hesitation.
His eyes were filled with a thirst for power; he desperately wanted to prove that he could solve problems without resorting to killing.
On the battlefield, Eligar was howling in agony towards the sky.
Musashi and Tsuchikage, piloting Unit 3, began their perilous approach to the dangerous behemoth under immense pressure.
"Rise quickly! It's too dangerous!"
Tu Jing, sitting in the back seat, screamed in terror as the monster's gaping maw drew ever closer.
"We can't just keep running away! If we don't work hard, our youth elite team will never be recognized!"
Musashi was completely engrossed in the action. He steadied the joystick and aimed intently at the monster's gas nozzle.
This startled Tu Jing as well.
"Whatever, let's go for it!"
"Whoosh—!"
Two specially made adhesive bullets were fired with precision, turning into clumps of tough, gelatinous substance that directly sealed off Eligar's two ejaculatory glands!
"Success! Hit!" Musashi shouted excitedly.
"Well done! Wind blow, fire the tranquilizer darts!" Upon seeing this, the captain immediately ordered the net to be closed, preparing to safely return the monster to the protected area.
On the other fighter jet, Feng Chui decisively pulled the trigger, and the tranquilizer dart accurately penetrated the monster's thick skin.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the mission had finally been successfully completed.
However, a sudden change occurred!
Despite being shot with a tranquilizer dart, Eligar did not fall into a deep sleep; instead, he let out an even more piercing roar than before!
Its body began to convulse violently, its eyes instantly turned blood red, and its entire body exuded an even more violent and destructive aura.
At this moment, even his mouth could spew out terrifying poison gas!
Now the adhesive is useless.
Immediately afterwards, a strange, colorful light suddenly shone within its body!
"What's going on?!"
"It's a reaction to the Chaos virus!"
Tu Jing stared in terror at the suddenly off-the-charts energy levels on the radar and screamed.
"How could this be! There was no reaction just now; we didn't detect anything!"
"Could it be...?"
Tu Jing's brain raced, and he suddenly realized the truth, his back drenched in cold sweat.
"Erigar had been in great pain because it was using its own power to suppress the Chaos virus within its body!"
"However, our tranquilizer darts weakened its own power, which in turn completely unleashed the Chaos virus!"
The live chat exploded at that moment.
Good intentions gone wrong! Danger!
【Okay, okay, this is bad!】
Oh no, oh no, this is great!
Putting everything else aside, you guys can't handle this anymore, go ask Comrade Gao to step in!
[Monster: I could have held on, but you guys sent me flying with just one injection of anesthetic.]
Oh no, this sentimental Musashi is going to become withdrawn.
[Virus: The Hunt!]
The out-of-control Eligar became even more ferocious.
Under the forced modification of the virus, its body structure has mutated.
It not only bit through the adhesive bullet's restraints, but the gas it exhaled also underwent a terrifying chemical change.
It turned into a deadly poison gas with extremely high solubility!
"The composition of the poison gas has changed! All aircraft, immediately circle around behind Eligar! Avoid the poison gas!"
Captain Qingguang made a decisive decision and ordered a retreat to avoid their attack.
However, Musashi, who was completely blinded by paranoia and guilt, was completely deaf to any orders to retreat.
"Captain, I must protect the monster! As long as I have enough strength, I can protect it!"
Instead of retreating, Musashi piloted Unit 3 and charged desperately towards the monster, braving the raging dissolving gas!
He planned to use adhesive to plug the monster's mouth!
"Don't let your emotions get the better of you!"
"If you're afraid of danger, you can't do anything!"
"But I also have a greater responsibility to protect you! Get out of here!"
The captain roared hoarsely, veins bulging on his forehead.
"If anyone criticizes this as a weakness of the youth elite team, let them say what they want! I will never back down!"
Musashi screamed hysterically, his eyes fixed on the giant beast in front of him.
However, the absolute gap in strength cannot be bridged by sheer courage.
The berserk Eligar swung its massive claws, slamming them heavily into the air.
The powerful airflow, mixed with mutated poison gas, overturned the nearby Unit 3.
"Musashi! Tsuchikage!"
The fighter jet's alarm blared, it had completely lost control, and billowing thick smoke, it plummeted toward the ground like a bird with broken wings.
At that critical moment, when life and death hung in the balance.
Inside the crashed cabin, a dazzling blue light broke through the thick smoke, illuminating the sky over the entire K-3 area!
"Gauss—!"
With that familiar battle cry, the Giant of Light descended with a thunderous roar!
Ultraman Cosmos caught the crashing No. 3 fighter jet steadily in mid-air and then safely placed it on the ground.
The tall, imposing blue figure turned around to face the mad beast that had been completely devoured by the virus.
