At the temporary station of the Victory Team, Chiba Makoto stood on the top of the five-story building, looking at the sea in the distance. Although the night was dark, he was not sleepy at all.
Ever since he learned about the black fog appearing in the R sea area and watched the images taken by the marine survey team, Chiba Cheng felt a deep uneasiness in his heart. There was no sign, but it was so strong.
It's like walking on a mountain road with cliffs on both sides in the dark, not knowing where you are, let alone whether your next step will miss and fall into the bottomless abyss. This kind of unknown fear is frightening.
Trembling.
But Chiba Makoto knew that this was not only the fear caused by Gatanjie's imminent awakening, but also that the 'plot' was once again out of control. Even though his previous experience had already told him that this world was different from what he originally knew.
It was different, but in his heart, he still hoped that he could defeat this extremely terrifying monster using the original method.
The preparations he made were not so much about increasing his chances of winning, but more about increasing his confidence. After faintly feeling the intense darkness, he understood clearly that whether it was the power of You Lian and Camilla, or the unfinished energy.
The supplementary equipment, or the greatly increased strength of oneself, seem a bit insignificant in front of this evil god who can control darkness.
Just like no matter how hard a person works, even if he trains himself to be a world track and field champion, a car can overtake him with just a slight step on the accelerator.
That darkness had just begun to revive, but it had already had such a strong impact on him. Now, he didn't even dare to fall asleep. When he closed his eyes, he would dream of the overwhelming black mist, the dense monsters, and the flames all over the earth.
, and Gatanjie who easily destroyed each giant of light.
These ultra-ancient memories derived from genes were repeated over and over again, and every time it was as if he was in them, making him experience the strong fear and uneasiness.
And the deepest despair!
Just like you spent all your money, collected the down payment, and bought an apartment with great expectations. Although you are burdened with a huge debt, you will have endless motivation to think about having a warm home in this cold city one day.
Work hard, make money hard, serve customers carefully, treat the boss with trepidation, live frugally and pay back the loan, just for the dream home.
But what awaited us was endless delays and deceptions. What we saw were empty frames and muddy pits. Not only did we have no way to ask for help, we even tried to fight for the remains of our bodies, and even took five steps to get blood splattered, but failed.
Can't even get through the door.
The huge gap between the overwhelming anger, hatred and helplessness is deeper than the chasm. Even if you try your best, you can't jump over it, you will only fall into the bottomless abyss.
"I..." Qianye Cheng lowered his head, looked at the bright light of the divine light rod in his hand, and said to himself: "Can I really do this?"
He was once confused, but in battle after battle, he gradually became determined, no longer thinking about other things, and focused on fighting to destroy monsters and protect humans.
But now, facing this darkness that is so terrifying that he cannot see beyond, Chiba Cheng feels confused once again.
In the super-ancient period, so many Ultramen swarmed forward, but none of them could destroy Gatangee. Now that he is the only one left, can he really eliminate Gatangee?
Without the light that Luluye has stored for countless years, even the seal cannot be made.
The future of this planet and the lives of billions of people now rest on his shoulders.
Just today's monster attack has broken tens of thousands of families. At this moment, there are still many people who have lost their loved ones crying in grief. Their hearts feel like they have been torn apart and are bloody, because they will never see each other again.
It’s gone, it’s lost forever.
And once he loses to Gatanjie, the consequences will be a thousand times more serious than this!
At this moment, Maya's voice came from behind: "What happens if we lose?"
Before Chiba Cheng could turn his head, a pair of slender hands hugged his waist, making the two of them stick together tightly.
Feeling the softness behind him, Chiba Cheng put down the divine light stick in his hand and enjoyed the silence.
"Without you, humans on this planet would have perished long ago." Maya put her face on Qianye Cheng's back, listening to his strong heartbeat, and said: "It's you who protect them, it's you who let them
Survived until now."
"Maya..."
Maya hugged Chiba Cheng tighter and continued: "So what if you lose, you have tried your best, there are no regrets, this is enough."
"No regrets!" Qianye Cheng said what Maya said.
"You have done enough for this planet and the humans here, and you have put in enough efforts. There are billions of people on this planet, and you are just one of them. Protecting your homeland is everyone's responsibility.
It’s a personal obligation, not just something you do.”
"But I..."
Maya interrupted Chiba Makoto unceremoniously and said: "What about Ultraman? Should Ultraman protect this planet alone? Should Ultraman bear all this alone? Ultraman
Should we shoulder all the burdens?
Don’t you often say that Ultraman is not a god, so why do you think you should take on all this?”
"...Yeah, I'm not a god, I'm just...a person."
Maya said firmly: "No matter what the outcome is, I will stay with you until the end."
Chiba Cheng put his hand on the back of Maya's hand, feeling the warmth that belonged to him, and his heart felt inexplicably peaceful.
This world has long been regarded as his home, with friends, lovers, and countless memories.
He wants to protect his home, he wants to protect these friends, he wants to protect his lover, and he wants to still be able to live here in the future.
"Maya, thank you for being willing to accompany me..." Chiba Cheng was saying, and suddenly looked up into the distance, and Maya clearly felt Chiba Cheng's body tighten suddenly, and the hand touching the back of her hand trembled,
Obviously, he once again entered a state of 'fear'.
Before Maya could comfort her as usual, Chiba Cheng said: "Wake up."
"Huh?"
"That guy is awake." Chiba Cheng's voice was trembling, and even sounded like he was gritting his teeth.
"What?" Maya was shocked. Before, Cheng could only feel the increasingly intense darkness, so why did she suddenly wake up? This was so without warning.
Then Maya saw the 'sign'. The sea water under the moonlight was rising. It was not coming up in waves like a rising tide, but more like the water inside overflowing when a needle is pushed.
This means that the sea level is rising, and the sea water has turned black, exactly the same black as the area shrouded in black fog, like rich ink, and no longer clear.
