Chapter 337 Where Did the Angel Come From?
On the screen, before the newly spawned demonic insects had been completely cleared away, another enormous Caesar de Bicey emerged from the dark sea of insects and crashed into the ruins of the city.
Two brand-new demonic insects raised their heads and let out a piercing screech.
This suffocating scene sent chills down the spines of all viewers watching on screen.
As long as the swarms of tiny insects that blot out the sky don't die out, this terrifying behemoth, over sixty meters tall, can be infinitely regenerated like products on an assembly line.
Gaia and Agul exchanged a glance.
The chests of the two Ultra Warriors, Red and Blue, heaved violently. The intense battle and the constant biting by the swarm of demonic insects had severely depleted their stamina.
The color timer on his chest hadn't flashed red yet, but every breath felt incredibly heavy.
There is no escape route.
The two Ultra Warriors let out a battle roar and charged once again at the two newly formed Caesar Debisi.
The battle instantly entered its most intense and fierce phase.
"clang--!"
Before Agul's lightsaber could strike, the long tongue of another demonic insect wrapped around him!
On the other hand, Gaia's situation is equally difficult!
He was also dealing with Caesar Debisi, who was tearing him apart as well!
Faced with an endless war of attrition, the two simply couldn't use their beam skills to clear the area much.
Small Debisi demonic insects kept falling from the sky, pouring down on Gaia's back like a torrential rain.
Their sharp mandibles were tearing at Gaia's body frantically, trying to interfere with his movements.
Gaia had to divert his attention to shake off these deeply entrenched ailments.
【I'm going for a mass-production Zerg build!】
How long will this fight last?
[You can overwhelm Ultraman with sheer numbers]
[Kill one, and two more come; how can we win? The wormhole is still spewing out worms!]
The battle continues in the scene.
Two Caesars suddenly extended their long, scarlet tongues and wrapped them around Gaia and Agul, who were in the middle.
The slippery tongue tightened more and more, almost strangling their bodies.
At the critical moment, Gaia and Agul exchanged a glance, and a tacit understanding without words burst forth in an instant.
The two simultaneously lowered their waists and exerted force, charging fiercely in the same direction!
Caught off guard by the long tongue, the two Caesars were dragged and crashed together!
With a muffled "thud," the hard shells collided, producing a piercing cracking sound. The two monsters roared in pain, and their long, entwined tongues instantly loosened.
Gaia and Agul suddenly shone with light, their arms gathering power.
"Quantum streamlines!"
"Agul's streamlined form!"
Two intense beams of light burst forth simultaneously, the red and blue rays striking Caesar de Bessie precisely, who was still reeling from the shock.
Boom! Boom!
Two enormous fireballs rose up in the center of the city.
The two Caesars were finally destroyed.
The despair did not end with the deaths of the two demonic insects.
Just as the two flames had not completely dissipated, the ink-black swirling cloud of insects in the sky emitted another chilling hiss.
The black sea of insects contracted and surged violently.
Then, to everyone's disbelief, one, two, three...
Three even larger Caesars crashed heavily onto the ground!
The earth trembled and the wind howled.
The three insect kings stood side by side, emitting deafening roars, as if mocking the powerlessness of the Ultra Warriors.
The live chat fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a chorus of wails:
[Damn! Again?!]
Is this never going to end?! Director, are you crazy?!
Three! Three this time?!
What's next? Four? Five?
[The Destruction Summoning Body: You think this is the final boss? No, this is just my vanguard.]
I see no hope of winning.
On the roof of the building.
Tabata's hand, gripping the microphone tightly, trembled. He looked down at the three arrogant behemoths below, then at Gaia and Agul, whose figures were already swaying precariously. His voice was filled with undisguised bitterness.
In the command room, everyone looked worried, and Staff Officer Ye Qian had a solemn expression.
"If this continues... there will be no end..."
Not only them, but all of humanity around the world watching the live broadcast through the screens in the shelters fell into a deep silence.
This is the root of destruction that brings about destruction.
This is the terrifying force that will completely cleanse the Earth.
Humanity is as insignificant as an insect before it. Even the giant of light, representing the will of the Earth, appears so powerless in the face of this endless darkness.
On the battlefield, the three Caesars gave Gaia and Agul no chance to catch their breath.
Their ferocious heads flashed with an eerie light, and their three large mouths, filled with fangs, suddenly opened wide.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three thick beams of destructive light, arranged in a triangular pattern, tore through the dim air and struck Gaia and Agul with overwhelming force.
If they were at their peak, the two Ultra Warriors might have been able to raise their shields and block this attack.
But at this moment, they were completely exhausted.
"Ugh—!!!"
Accompanied by agonizing screams, the light mercilessly pierced through their defenses, bursting into blinding sparks.
Gaia and Agul's massive bodies were thrown into the air like kites with broken strings by the violent impact, before crashing heavily into the ruins hundreds of meters away.
The earth trembled, and smoke and dust billowed into the sky.
Before Gaia and Agul could even stand up straight, "Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong..." a crisp and urgent alarm sounded simultaneously in front of their chests.
The color timer finally turned red and started flashing wildly.
The urgent sound, like the countdown to death, struck the hearts of every audience member.
The two once invincible giants of light fell in the cold ruins.
The red and blue light became extremely weak, and the color timer on the chest flashed faster and faster, while the sound became increasingly faint.
They struggled to prop themselves up with their hands, but the intense pain and depleted energy rendered them completely immobile.
The demonic insects let out piercing laughs and approached step by step.
The shelter was deathly silent.
The adults covered their mouths, their eyes filled with tears of terror and despair.
Is it all over?
Is Earth really going to perish?
Just then, a clear, tearful child's voice broke the deathly silence of the shelter.
"Stand up..."
It was the little boy named Acheng who had been rescued by Tian Duan and Lunwen. He stared intently at the fallen giant on the screen, his small fists clenched tightly, tears streaming down his dusty face.
"Get up quickly!" Acheng shouted with all his might.
The sound echoed through the empty shelter.
Like a bolt of lightning, it cleaved through the fear in people's hearts.
A young mother wiped away her tears and shouted, "Stand up!"
An elderly man with a full head of white hair stood up shakily: "Ultraman, don't lose!"
"Stand up!"
"Stand up!"
"Keep it up!"
Countless cries echoed from every corner of the world, converging into an invisible torrent. It was humanity's last hope erupting from the brink of despair.
The comments section was also completely infected by this emotion:
Stand up! My dream! Fujimiya!
The light will never be extinguished!
[I'm moved to tears. This is the meaning of Ultraman: never give up until the very last moment!]
Charge! The light of Earth cannot fall here!
[Could it be? Are we going to recreate that man's scene?]
[After Earth's oceans, will humanity's light finally appear?!]
However, reality is often cruel.
The cheers from the audience did not miraculously translate into energy for Ultraman immediately.
The three Caesars had reached the fallen Gaia and Agul.
They slowly raised their sharp, massive claws, preparing to deliver the final death sentence to these two troublesome guardians of Earth.
At this critical moment.
A sudden change has occurred!
The pitch-black sky, which had been completely sealed off by endless demonic insects and devoid of any light, suddenly began to distort violently.
A blindingly powerful blue light, like a divine sword that split the heavens and the earth, forcefully tore through the thick sea of insects!
The light was so dazzling that all the viewers' screens were instantly filled with a white haze.
Accompanying this bright light was a strange yet incredibly grand background music.
The sounds of the organ and harpsichord resonated throughout the heavens and earth. The sound was filled with the sacredness of a church choir accompaniment, and every note exuded an ethereal and solemn beauty.
In this sacred background music.
The powerful blue beam of light descended from the sky, directly engulfing the three Caesars who were preparing to deliver the fatal blow.
He didn't even have time to scream.
The three insect kings, who were just moments ago so arrogant and had driven the two Ultramen to the brink of despair, disintegrated instantly upon contact with this blue light, like ice meeting fire, and were reduced to nothingness in an instant!
This scene made everyone in front of the screen, including Tian Duan and Lun Wen on the battlefield, widen their eyes.
"What is that...?"
Tanabata Rinbun's mouth dropped open as the camera was pointed directly at the sky.
"Look at you..."
The people in the shelter also looked up, staring blankly at the screen.
As the light gradually receded, a colossal figure slowly descended through the gaping hole in the clouds.
It was a creature that could not be accurately described in words.
Its appearance closely resembles that of an angel in human mythology.
The seven-colored glow behind him was like a giant wing, and his whole body radiated a soft and sacred aura.
Its face was shrouded in light, and its features did not resemble those of a human; instead, they were as exquisitely detailed as those of a porcelain doll!
But you can clearly feel that it is laughing.
A smile that carries pity and compassion.
"That's... an angel?"
The passerby stared blankly and muttered to himself.
Amidst the overwhelming swarms of dark demonic insects, this descending "angel" was like a savior dispelling the apocalypse.
It hovered in mid-air, its halo shining behind it, and the sacred background music of the pipe organ brought its arrival to its fullest.
For a moment, the chat was silent, then erupted with a massive number of question marks:
【？？？？？】
[Holy crap, what the hell is that?!]
[An angel? A real angel?]
[An angel emerged from the Destruction Demon Insects?! This art style change is too fast!]
[One hit instantly killed three Caesars Debussy! That damage number is a bit outrageous!]
Wait, I'm a little confused about how the plot is going.
The audience was indeed confused.
After experiencing the previous despair and oppression, the sudden appearance of such a powerful and divinely designed character feels somewhat abrupt.
At this moment, a heated discussion broke out in the live chat.
[That killed the monster instantly? The monster that Gaia and Agul fought tooth and nail to defeat was vaporized by a single beam of light from this thing?]
[I don't believe it! There's clearly something wrong with someone coming out at this time!]
[But it saved Ultraman! The organ background music paired with those huge wings makes it a perfect savior character.]
Is this the ultimate manifestation of Earth's will? Because Ultraman couldn't win, Earth intervened itself?
Or perhaps it was another benevolent civilization in the universe that came to our aid?
What on earth is that old scoundrel Gu up to? Why does that angelic smile give me the creeps?!
[Let's analyze this rationally. After so much despair built up, giving them hope now could be a turning point. Could this angel be giving Gaia and his companions a new power-up?]
[This look...did he wander into the wrong film set?]
Regardless of the speculations and arguments in the comments section.
In the scene, an angel hovers in mid-air, casting a soft light upon the earth. The small Debisian demonic insects that had been rampaging just moments before retreat in fear of this divine power.
Gaia and Agul struggled to lift their heads, gazing up at the incredible presence in the sky.
The angel's smile, amidst the devastated ruins, appeared both eerie and alluring.
The progress bar for episode 49 freezes and ends amidst the sacred and ethereal melody of the organ and the angelic smile overlooking all living beings.
The screen went dark.
The preview for the next episode slowly appeared on the screen.
What does an angel's smile truly mean?
What did humanity see in despair?
"The earth roared in fury..."
"Stay tuned for the final episode of Ultraman Gaia, episode 50..."
When the announcement that the episode count had ended sounded, the entire internet's tokusatsu forums and discussion groups erupted in a frenzy after a brief period of silence.
Everyone was scratching their heads in bewilderment at this sudden "angel" whose identity was unclear—whether it was friend or foe.
