Chapter 298 The Undefeated Battle of the Supreme! The Gentlest Answer
Chapter 298 The Undefeated Battle of the Supreme! The Gentlest Answer
In the scene, the battle between Ultraman Gaia, the incarnation of Goga Mu, and the legendary monster Shazak has reached a fever pitch.
The primeval forest trembled violently from the clash between the two colossal creatures. Shazak's wings suddenly flapped, whipping up a raging hurricane.
Its dark red patterns resemble flowing lava, radiating a chilling glow in the dark forest.
This is no longer the somewhat clumsy, sluggish monster with spikes all over its back from its previous life.
Gu Nan's new version of Xiazak carries an inviolable divinity and pressure with every attack.
This Vermilion Bird's feathers were ablaze with black and red flames.
The patterns on its body were stained with crimson flames, as red as blood.
This monster is not only tough, it can also turn invisible, and it's holding its own in melee combat. It'll probably be on the power rankings!
Gaia seems to be struggling. When ordinary punches and kicks land on it, the red markings flicker, as if they absorb or negate the damage.
The monsters named "Guardian Beasts" in the special effects zone have consistently maintained high strength.
[I'm getting beaten up again in my dream, but this monster doesn't seem like a bad one. It seems to be acting in self-defense. Why does the defense team have to be so ruthless?]
On the screen, Gaia could only defend itself by crossing its arms as it faced Shazak's continuous Mach-speed attacks, its massive body carving two deep furrows in the muddy ground.
Shazak's offensive was like a storm, giving Gaia no chance to catch her breath.
It fought not only for territory, but also for survival. On this ancient land it protected, Xiazak displayed astonishing fighting prowess.
On the edge of the cliff, Catherine stared intently at the battlefield below, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Her gaze was fixed on the legendary magical beast, its body covered in magma patterns and standing proudly, and her inner defenses were undergoing an unprecedented and violent collapse.
For years, she had regarded this monster as her mortal enemy.
She used every means at her disposal, even turning herself into a cold-blooded research machine, to develop the "Original Shield System," attempting to conquer this forest and shatter those ignorant legends with the most advanced science in humankind.
She wanted to prove to the world that her parents' deaths were not due to offending any deity, but simply because of the cruelty of nature and the inadequacy of human power.
She thought that if she could blow Shazak to dust with explosives, she would be redeemed and her inner wounds would be healed.
However, when she saw Xiazhak rise from the ashes and unleash such powerful vitality to protect this ancient forest, she was bewildered.
Looking into those eyes, filled with anger yet so pure, she suddenly felt that her actions seemed a little absurd.
She reminisced about her childhood.
Back then, her parents would always take her on field trips through the forest. Sunlight would filter through the leaves, and her father's smile was always so warm.
"Catherine, you must remember that we humans are also part of this forest, part of nature."
"Science has never been a weapon to conquer nature, but a tool to help us better understand this land and to enable us to coexist peacefully with nature."
Her parents' words seemed to transcend time and space, echoing in her ears once more.
Intertwined with these words of comfort were the townspeople's cold accusations: "Your parents were cursed to death! They angered the monsters!"
Catherine clutched her head in anguish.
Yes, my parents loved this forest deeply; they dedicated their lives to uncovering the mysteries of nature.
They never harbored any resentment towards the so-called monsters, nor did they ever consider destroying the legend.
And what about yourself?
Under the guise of avenging his parents, he was blinded by hatred and actually wanted to use explosives to wipe out the forest his parents loved so much, along with its guardian spirit.
What she had always wanted to eliminate with science was not some evil enemy, but a natural being that also had feelings and life.
The legend is not wrong; the problem lies with the arrogance that led one to try to place oneself above nature.
The tide of battle turned at that moment.
Faced with Shazak's increasingly ferocious attacks, Gaia knew she couldn't afford to continue this stalemate.
The light of the earth gathered at his chest. His red body was instantly replaced by an even more magnificent red and blue light!
The highest form, please refer to it!
[Here he comes! Supreme Gaia! The invincible God of War!]
[At full health, this is a sure win.]
[Shazak is in danger! Gaia is about to strike a fatal blow!]
[I'm a dream girl. No matter how many times I see it, that physique, those muscles, it gives me an overwhelming sense of security.]
In his supreme form, Gaia displayed overwhelming power. Facing Shazak's charge, he grabbed the monster's shoulder, and with a sudden burst of strength, lifted the behemoth above his head, slamming it heavily into the open space in the distance.
"Boom!" The earth trembled.
Without any hesitation, Gaia crossed his hands below his abdomen, preparing to gather light energy, unleash the Flash Ice Blade, and end the battle once and for all.
At this critical moment.
"roar--"
A childish yet piercing roar suddenly came from the depths of the forest.
A small, stumbling young monster emerged from the woods.
It looked at the wounded and battered Shazak lying on the ground and cried out anxiously and sadly.
That's Xiazak's child.
Shazak, who was originally enraged and ready to fight Gaia to the death, suddenly stiffened his huge body the moment he heard the call.
The fierce light in its eyes vanished instantly.
It struggled to its feet, not glancing at Gaia again, but turned and walked toward its cub, using its broad wings to tightly protect the child beneath it.
Seeing this, Catherine on the cliff completely broke down.
She seemed to see herself many years ago, the little girl seeking refuge in her parents' arms.
Shazak is not a mindless, bloodthirsty monster; she is a mother, and she also has a family and a deep love for her children.
"stop!"
Catherine could no longer suppress her emotions; she rushed to the edge of the cliff and screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Stop hitting me! Please! Stop it!"
Tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, washing away the dirt and her stubbornness.
"Humans, like this forest, are part of nature!"
"We chose to become scientists precisely to understand this principle!"
"So, I was really wrong... Please, please don't hurt it anymore!"
Catherine's cries echoed through the valley.
Gaia, who was about to unleash a beam of light, stopped what he was doing. He slowly lowered his arm and gazed at the mother and child monsters before him.
Shazak also raised his head, took a deep look at Catherine on the cliff, and then looked at Gaia.
There was no more hostility, no more anger.
Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, Shazak, with its cub, slowly retreated into the deepest part of the forest, disappearing completely into this ancient legend.
This inevitable battle to the death was completely shattered by a loving call and a spiritual awakening.
The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the Aberlin district, gilding this land that had survived the catastrophe with a gentle golden hue.
After the battle, I dreamt and Catherine walked side by side on the way back.
"I finally understand that the basic program of the original shield is flawed."
Catherine's voice returned to calm, but with an unprecedented sense of relief: "If we insist on continuing the experiment, we might really destroy this forest."
She stopped and looked back at the lush forest: "There are still many things about nature that we don't understand. Maybe Xiazhak really is the guardian of this forest."
I smiled and nodded: "In order for humanity and nature to coexist peacefully, we need to work harder to understand each other."
Goodbye, my dream.
As Catherine gazed at the sunset, her hope for science rekindled in her eyes.
Before leaving, she gently kissed my dream's cheek.
【? ? ? 】
[This must be foreign etiquette~]
[Mu Zi: Speak up for me!]
[Li Muzi: I feel like my head is covered in green.]
[And she's a golden retriever, big sister! My dream is so lucky!]
Where is happiness?
Catherine then quickly left the area.
I waved goodbye to Catherine as she departed in my dream:
"We'll definitely find the answer, because the Earth hasn't abandoned us yet, has it?"
The uplifting and soothing end credits song started playing right on time.
The 33rd episode of "Ultraman Gaia" concluded with this heartwarming reconciliation between humanity and nature.
