Chapter 33 The Power of Ultraman
Chapter 33 The Power of Ultraman
The sound of a gun being cocked rang out.
Obik muttered to himself, "It's exactly the same there as before, just as dark."
"Look, that's what the village night used to be like. Our village is back."
"The old village has returned."
"The village is back!"
The members of the Victory Team slowly lowered their guns, watching the somewhat frenzied Obik gradually vent his anger...
After a long silence, Daigo, his voice trembling with emotion, shouted, "Obik, that's not a village!"
"The village is no longer there."
Obik's illusions were not shattered, but he still insisted on his own rebuttal: "You are all bad people, you are liars."
"I clearly saw it!"
"That's the lookout tower, that's the lotus pond, and do you see that river? That's the clearest stream in the village."
Daigo raised his voice a few decibels and shouted, "No, the old village has long since disappeared." He reached out and looked at the village with expectant eyes. "Come with me."
"I'll find you a quiet place to stay."
"We'll definitely find it!"
Obik's reaction, however, was intense. He shouted, "I don't want to!" Then, his tone softened, "If..."
"If we don't consider this the village from before..."
"Destroy this place!"
After saying that, he opened the pot lid, and a powerful energy burst out. He and his shadow merged into one, growing into a gigantic monster.
Munakata then ordered the troops to disperse, and Daigo transformed into Ultraman Tiga to fight.
This time, however, Tiga did not fight with all his might, but instead stopped his opponent and let him vent his anger.
On the other side, Lin Yeming, carrying a bottle of wine, knocked on the door of a temple.
An elderly man dressed in monk's robes peeked out from inside the door. Upon seeing Lin Yeming, he smiled and said, "It's you, a member of the Victory Team."
The monk recognized Lin Yeming and politely declined with a smile, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm not performing any rituals tonight. Please find somewhere else."
Lin Yeming smiled and raised the glass in his hand: "I need to see off a friend, so I'll borrow this space for a moment."
"Well... alright." The monk could sense a friendly aura emanating from Lin Yeming, and almost involuntarily agreed.
He stepped aside to let Lin Yeming in.
Upon entering the main hall, Lin Yeming saw what the monks had prepared, and he knew that his judgment was correct.
This monk was indeed a monster.
A monster that actively follows trends.
"What a coincidence, you're also seeing a friend off today."
Lin Yeming placed four bowls on the table and poured in white wine.
The monk watched Lin Yeming's actions with some curiosity, but said nothing. After sensing a huge fluctuation, he turned his prayer beads and began chanting a mantra for deliverance.
Lin Yeming listened quietly. After the monk finished chanting the incantation, he picked up two bowls of white wine, poured them in front of him, and said, "You still chose that path."
"Humans have only lit lights for a little over a hundred years, yet they have forgotten that darkness is what the night is truly like."
"These two bowls of wine are for you who would rather die than bend like jade, but live like a broken tile."
"Rest in peace, Obik!"
When the last sentence was uttered, the monk's previously gentle expression suddenly changed drastically, and he asked in a trembling voice, "What did you just say?"
"The person you're talking about, is it Obik?"
Lin Yeming turned his head and looked at the monk, his eyes looking somewhat strange. "Yes, Obik."
He left with another friend.
The monk's face showed disbelief. His lips trembled, and he gripped Lin Yeming's shoulders tightly with both hands, asking loudly, "Is he dead?"
"How could he possibly be dead!"
Lin Yeming let the other party hold him, and he said softly, "For a demon, this may be a liberation."
"Times have changed, and darkness will never return."
The monk fell silent. He blankly released Lin Yeming's shoulder and choked out, "Why, why did this happen?"
Lin Yeming did not answer the other party's question, but picked up the remaining two bowls of wine and said softly, "I don't really know what to say to you."
"Whether the existence of monsters is reasonable or unreasonable, no one can say for sure."
"These two bowls of wine, one is to toast the existence of monsters, and the other is to toast the integration of monsters into humanity."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank two bowls of wine, then turned and left.
The monk—no, it should be called a demon—stared at Lin Yeming's retreating figure and shouted, "Who are you!"
Who are you?!
Lin Yeming waved his hand and shouted without turning his head, "Just a confused human being."
Looking at the four empty bowls on the table, the monk slowly squatted down and began to chant the Rebirth Mantra in a choked voice.
On the other side, with Tiga deliberately holding back, Obik vented his dissatisfaction, randomly releasing beams of light around him like a tantrum-throwing child.
However, as the beam of light was released, it was aimed at the town behind Tiga, forcing Tiga to retaliate.
He was hit by Tiga's energy attack, and his life force dropped rapidly.
Tiga flew to Obik's side and embraced the bewildered monster with a touch of sadness.
"Ho...ho..."
Obik, panting heavily, looked at the town shrouded in darkness and said with some excitement, "The nights of the village are back."
"The old village has returned..."
Obik muttered to himself, his voice growing softer and softer until he finally vanished completely as a speck of light.
The members of the Victory Team sat together.
“I was thinking, Obik scares people like that.”
"Maybe he wanted people to remember him."
"Just like how Obik always remembers his old village."
The group looked at the starry sky, and the atmosphere was filled with sadness.
At that moment, Zongfang's communicator rang.
He opened the call and saw that it was from Lin Yeming.
"Commander, the captain orders everyone to return to headquarters."
"Roger that!"
On the other side, Lin Yeming hung up the communicator and looked at Ju Jianhui.
At this moment, Kijima Megumi is reviewing Lin Yeming's report.
According to the report, the operation went smoothly thanks to the presence of the Naga.
Regarding environmental governance, Jujian Hui knows that the higher-ups also have plans.
However, the effect was not obvious, but the abilities that the Naga displayed were astonishing.
It's easy for those above to take advantage of them.
As far as she knew, some high-ranking officials had already proposed studying the power of the stone statues.
The purpose was to obtain the power of the giants, but this idea was suppressed by Director Sawai.
He stated that it is impossible for humans to control such a force, and that the key is to properly develop science and technology.
Max Power Systems was their hope.
Although the voice was suppressed, if this report gets out, then... those people will start to stir.
She turned her gaze to Lin Yeming and asked, "Has this report been uploaded to the system?"
