Chapter 377: The Time of War

Asuka felt like she had never been weaker.

Even in the previous battle against Desfasa, facing the terrifying Neomax cannon; Or the Empress Monella, who was so huge that she couldn't match the human power, lost her own strength and trapped in a cage, he didn't feel the powerlessness he was experiencing now.

This was also the first time he felt that the will he inherited from Tiga was so heavy.

Is it so difficult to support each other with human beings?

Guy is in a different situation now than he was then.

If he was just facing an invincible enemy, Asuka thought he could fight with all his might until the last moment.

But now...

In the face of the onslaught of 'Asmantis', mere power becomes meaningless.

Maybe it's not difficult to destroy the mirror puppet, and the Flying Eagle missile independently developed by humans can do it.

But the human heart is elusive.

As long as the influence of 'Asmontis' on people cannot be eliminated, even Ultraman Dinah, who has amazing powers, will still be unable to do anything.

Even the boundaries that you want to protect have become blurred.

Human beings' choices are deeply influenced even as Ultraman.

The bird is now trapped in this whirlpool, unable to extricate itself.

Caught in the whirlpool formed by the collision of human ideals and reality, the human heart has also become unpredictable, causing him to lose his way along the way.

Asuka doesn't know what to do, and how can the power he has play his part?

It was all swept over him with the exhaustion of his body reaching its limit, filling his mind.

Although the body stood up at the indomitable will of his heart, the rapid red light on his chest was already rushing like a series of alarm bells, and each flicker became more and more dim, as if it could be extinguished at any time.

Asuka was at a loss.

What else can such a self do?

In the end, nothing was done, was it...

With this thought, the majestic figure that had been standing on the earth shook slightly, and Asuka's consciousness began to blur with it.

After all, he still couldn't beat the boundaries brought by his body, and perhaps it should be said that he had already overdrawn his physical limits.

But soon, he sensed that something was wrong.

It's light.

The warm and familiar light quietly moistened his tired body, and an unprecedented sense of fullness awakened Asuka's gradually blurred consciousness.

This kind of light seems to take the birds back to the past, and the warmth and fighting spirit that they felt when they fell into the abyss after being defeated by Queen Monera.

"I've worked so hard to get up, and it's a shame to fall down again."

Suddenly, a voice reached his heart with the light.

This voice...

Asuka was dazed and a little relieved, as time passed, the energy of light in his body had already been filled, and his dim eyes shimmered when he regained his vitality, and he looked to the side, the red and blue figure who was firmly fixing his weak and swaying posture with his hands.

'It's you...'

The dry sound made Asuka realize that he had indeed regained his life from exhaustion.

It was Sero who came to the rescue at the critical moment.

Ultraman Sero.

No one knew when he appeared, as if he had always been there, but in the blink of an eye, he appeared next to the exhausted Dinah and breathed him with life.

"Feel it? This is the power that people convey to you. ”

Asuka, who was at a loss for the appearance of Sero, immediately understood something after hearing this.

No wonder this heart-warming feeling is so familiar, it turns out to be the same as it was at the beginning, it is the light that comes from people's hearts.

Although it is an intangible substance, it can always bring substantial solidarity to Ultraman.

"Another Ultraman?"

Only then did people react, but Sero had only appeared in front of people a handful of times, and even most people only knew that there was such a mysterious giant who had fought alongside Ultraman Dinah, but few people would remember his name.

Sero didn't need them to remember his existence, the giants of light who guarded this world, and now they only needed to remember one.

"It's Sero!"

Still, there are people who will remember the names of the giants who fought for them.

"Is he here to help Dinah?"

"Look, Dinah is fine!"

"Great..."

The people who survived the catastrophe felt relieved of Dinah, who had also survived the catastrophe, and this emotion quickly spread, and it was transmitted to Asuka through the blue luster of the gem on Sero's wrist, injecting a powerful resonance into his confused heart.

Didn't the original Tiga also face the unknown enemy with the people?

For Asuka, who had already inherited the burden of guardianship from Tiga, it would only be exciting.

"Can you still fight?"

Seeing that all the people's voices were conveyed to Asuka's heart, Sero smiled easily and asked.

Asuka, who was now regaining his fighting spirit in the form of Dinah, did not speak, but nodded heavily.

"That..."

Habitually reaching out and wiping it from the tip of his nose, Sero quietly lowered his voice, only a flash of light flowed between the gaps connected by the ice axe on his head.

"Let's go on it!"

Just when Dinah was stunned, the two ice axes on Sero's head had already come out of his body, and they swirled at high speed towards the distance, and Sero's figure had already disappeared with the ice axe.

‘......’

To be honest, Sero's drive to do what he says, although he has not been with him many times, Dinah feels that no matter how many times he has worked with him, he really can't keep up with his leapfrog thinking...

Sure enough, every time I meet him, I will have different feelings...

However, Sero's momentum really infected him, and although he was a beat slower, Dinah quickly set off for the battlefield in the sky, leaving only those who could not go with him silently sending blessings to them.

......

On the Beta, Captain Hibi cheered up and was about to continue directing the attack, but Nakajima brought a new piece of information.

"Captain!" Nakajima's hurried words were filled with joy, "The people in the mirror puppets are out!" ”

There is no need for Nakajima to explain, Captain Kibi and the others have already seen the scattered light on a mirror puppet below through the window, combined with Nakajima, presumably this is the person who came out of the mirror puppet.

"Great! But..."Kaiya was first happy, but then bewildered, "why is that?" ”

"Is it Asuka and they?" was Captain Hibi mused.

"That's right! Mai Asuka and the Star Advisors, they're still inside! After being reminded, Kaya quickly found the key, "So, they must have escaped safely, right?" ”

"It's not a matter of course." Nakajima, who had finally relaxed from his tense mental state, gave him a blank look.

"In that case, then we don't have to think about it." He had given up thinking about what was going on inside the mirror puppet, compared to these, the safety of his subordinates and citizens was enough to reassure him, and he didn't think much about it at the moment, and gave an order in the midst of heroic laughter, "Now, annihilate 'Asmantis' with all your might!" ”

"Understood!"

The mist that lingered in his heart was swept away, and the voices of Kaiya and Nakajima seemed to be much louder.

But having said that, in the face of the mirror puppets that are constantly being resupplied, the logistics of the TPC troops have become a big problem, and it may not be long before the stocks of Flying Eagle missiles will be exhausted, and I am afraid it will be difficult to cope with at that time...

Captain Xibi, who had just relaxed and frowned, had a headache.

At this moment, two streamers wrapped in green rays flew around, splitting the weakly defended hands of a mirror puppet from it, and the light bombs that were accumulating immediately triggered a small-scale explosion, blowing the damaged arms of the mirror puppet to pieces!

Immediately after, a red and blue figure galloped through the air with raging fire, hitting the mirror puppet whose arms were suddenly destroyed and there was a gap, and rushed all the way to the crystal city high in the sky!

'Bang-'

The heavy body of the mirror image puppet was unable to focus in the air, and it was driven by this flying kick to retreat thousands of miles, directly hitting the outer wall of the crystal city, and the crystals composed of the same substance collided with each other, and cracks appeared in the collision.

But the kicks from the flames were still unabated, and while they couldn't shake the entire Crystal City, it was more than enough to smash a single mirror puppet.

Due to the double backlog of flying kicks and the outer wall of the crystal city in the rear, even if the defense is good, the mirror puppet still can't hold on, and in just a few breaths, it can't bear the pressure and shatters.

The mirror puppet was shattered from it, and Sero took advantage of the situation to point on the outer wall of the Crystal City, and jumped into the air after a little force.

This was the first time he had officially come face to face with Crystal City, and even though Sero had recovered his original posture, he still seemed so small in front of the huge Crystal City.

"This is..."

Captain Hibi had a chance to see the comer's posture clearly, what had just happened was too fast, and it was beyond the scope of his eyes.

"It's Ultraman Sero!"

Nakajima is sure that he has done a lot of homework in this area.

Without waiting for Captain Xibi to answer, another red and blue figure occupied their field of vision.

Compared to Bello, they are much more familiar with this giant.

"It's Dinah! He's here, too! ”

Kaya said excitedly.

"Now, isn't it just a gathering of the two Ultramans?"

Captain Hibi suddenly relaxed, he always believed that the Giants of Light would be the last line of defense to protect humanity.

Now that the two Ultramans are together, with their remaining ammunition stockpiles, it will be enough to fight anyway.

And Dinah, who was not able to arrive until Sero broke a mirror puppet with lightning speed, came to Sero's side and faced the huge pressure from Crystal City together.

In terms of size, Crystal City may be even larger than Queen Monera; In terms of influence and control over people's hearts, it is far more difficult to deal with than Queen Monella, who can only bring terror and despair with her power.

For Dinah, this was perhaps the most difficult enemy he had ever faced.

"Why?"

Before Sero and Dinah could launch an offensive, a voice suddenly sounded in the Crystal City, echoing in everyone's hearts.

The sound seems to be a combination of many different voices, both men, women and children, but the combination is so natural that people don't feel weird at first.

Perhaps this is also the synchronization brought about by the nature of the 'Asmantis' race, which may not just be a 'Asmantis' talking to them, but the entire 'Asmantis' race is initiating a dialogue with the people, to the giants.

"Why are you holding us back, Ultraman... We can do what you've been trying so hard to but can't do. ”

The aftermath of the crystal city echoed, and all kinds of voices carried a kind of calmness, but also a sense of exhortation.

"We can bring peace, eternal peace to humanity."

The sound of Crystal City stopped everyone at once, and the mirror puppet stopped attacking, and quietly surrounded Crystal City.

The plane, which was running out of ammunition, had time to breathe, but fell into deep thought at the sound.

This voice seems to have the ability to penetrate people's hearts, and can easily tear through people's psychological defenses and send the sound directly to people's hearts. People can't help but think back to the convenience that has been brought by the emergence of Crystal City.

Since the appearance of Crystal City, not only have the number of crime cases been steadily decreasing, but even the quarrels between people seem to have become much less.

Because the Crystal City can meet all the wishes of human beings, all the problems that cannot be realized in reality can be easily done in the Crystal City, which also eliminates the hidden dangers of disputes between people.

It seems that as long as you complete your daily work step by step, you can enjoy the omnipotent world in Crystal City, and all you have to pay is a few brain waves, although it can make people feel refreshed, but it is not to the extent of endangering life.

Thinking about it this way, it really doesn't seem that the existence of Crystal City is unacceptable...

"And then, like you, huddle in a little cage and enjoy this so-called 'peace'?"

An unfamiliar voice sounded, interrupting the people's musings and awakening them from the fantasies that Asmontis had constructed with his voice.

"No, you're just blinding people from seeing the good things that surround them; Then they clog their ears so that they can't hear the calls between friends and family; In the end, it even eliminated people's hearts and minds and cut off contact between people! ”

"This is not peace! You just want to put everyone in your carefully constructed mental cage and continue to live numbly! ”

The strange and young voice resounded in the sky, lighting up the persistence in people's hearts.

"In that case, the cage you have built will be shattered by us!"

The real battle is only now really beginning.
