Chapter 222 Gil: Hit me? What does that mean?
On the screen, flames rage and surge amidst the ruins of a city in 2030.
In the heart of that thick smoke, I dreamt of gasping for breath.
He looked around and saw nothing but a despairing inferno.
He gritted his teeth, reached into the pocket of his white coat, and gripped the phototube that emitted light tightly.
As if he were brainwashing himself, or perhaps making a vow, his chest heaved violently as he roared at the raging flames:
"I am... Ultraman now!"
"I! I am Ultraman!!!"
He suddenly raised the phototube in his hand.
"boom--!!!"
Accompanied by a sharp, deafening bang that seemed to pierce eardrums, an extremely pure crimson light exploded in the thick smoke like a nuclear explosion!
A violent hurricane swept through the entire block in an instant, forcing Gilu, who had just been wreaking havoc, to retreat repeatedly due to the terrifying energy fluctuations.
Dust billowed into the sky like a reversed waterfall, and in the red sandstorm that blotted out the sun, Ultraman Gaia's majestic red and silver body descended once more with an extremely dull thud!
Here it comes again! That screen-shattering impact again!
Holy crap! How much sand and dust will that stir up?!
Give the Earth a little massage!
[Gaia: Mother Earth, I'm back to do your renovations again!]
This time, Gaia didn't hesitate at all and charged straight at Gil's massive body!
However, the battle did not unfold as one-sidedly as the audience had imagined.
Kiru has a tonnage of 90,000 tons, far exceeding that of the previous Gobu.
Gaia slammed a heavy punch into its carapace, but instead of causing any damage, it was forced to take a half-step back.
Gil let out a roar, opened his blood-red maw, and bit down hard on Gaia's arm. Then, with a sudden burst of strength from his thick neck, he flung Gaia's huge body away like a rag doll!
"Bang!"
Gaia crashed heavily into the ruins, collapsing an entire row of buildings, and rolled on the ground in agony, clutching its arm.
Holy crap! That monster is incredibly strong! It flung Gaia away?!
[Science students are getting attacked again! Quickly use your invincible physics skills to think of a solution!]
[It's not advisable to wrestle with this kind of four-legged heavy monster on the ground; its chassis is too stable!]
My dream clearly realized this as well.
Gaia swiftly flipped and leaped into the air, abandoning close combat with Gil. He created distance, his gaze fixed on Gil's relatively short forelimbs.
The next second, Gaia suddenly leaped up and delivered a powerful flying kick directly to Gil's face!
Taking advantage of Gil's backward lean, Gaia's legs became blurry as he unleashed a barrage of high sweeps and side kicks, like a storm.
With the absolute advantage of their standing posture, they completely disrupted Gil's attack rhythm!
[Impressive legwork! My dream's fighting talent is maxed out!]
Come here, monster! Shine my shoes!
[This is about playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses! Four-legged monsters have short arms, so as long as Gaia doesn't get pounced on, her standing attacks are invincible!]
Just as Gil was being beaten senseless and instinctively wanted to unleash a fireball from his abdomen again,
A blue afterimage streaked across the sky.
"Take this!"
Wei Weike piloted Lightning One and accurately fired two missiles into the gap in Gil's newly torn abdomen!
"Boom!"
The violent explosion blasted directly inside Gil's body, abruptly interrupting its spellcasting!
[The Lightning team deserves a huge credit! That teamwork was absolutely perfect!]
[666, this is the Inch Stop Challenge!]
Seizing this fleeting opening, Gaia suddenly spread her arms wide and tilted her head back slightly.
Extremely restrained yet violent photon energy converged wildly on both sides of his head, transforming into an extremely dazzling red energy blade.
Photon Ice Blade!
Gaia suddenly bent down, and the red light blade sliced through space as easily as cutting tofu, striking Gil's head with perfect accuracy.
There is no suspense.
With the support of extremely realistic miniature model explosions and top-notch CG compositing, Gil's massive body exploded in a blinding flash of light, turning into countless fragments.
The battle is over.
The setting sun is like blood.
Gaia stood amidst the ruins, glanced at the Peace in the distance, then rose into the air and vanished into the horizon as a streak of red light.
Inside the plane, Director Di Cheng looked in the direction the giant had left, his expression solemn, and slowly raised his right hand to give a military salute.
But then, he lowered his hand, pressed the communicator to his ear, and his tone instantly became extremely stern: "Dream, you have absolutely no discipline! If you ever act recklessly again, I'll make you pay when we get back!"
The live chat was instantly flooded with "hahaha".
[Director: Submissive to Ultraman, but fiercely opposed to my dream!]
[My dream: Am I not Ultraman?! (Looking wronged)]
This double standard is absolutely outrageous, but my dream really did go off on a tangent, so I deserve to be criticized.
As my awkward smile froze on the screen, the ending theme of the second episode of "Ultraman Gaia" began to play.
……
Only one hour had passed since the premiere ended.
Discussions about "Ultraman Gaia" are increasing on China's largest comprehensive online forum.
Countless viewers who had just finished watching the first two episodes and were in a state of extreme excitement began posting frantically on forums, analyzing the plot frame by frame.
In the featured posts, netizens' ideas sparked incredibly brilliant insights.
The original poster, [Old Gu, is also slacking off today], said:
Kids, I suddenly realized something.
What exactly is the subterranean monster Gil that appears in the second episode?
In the first episode, Gob fell from space, while Gil is native to Earth!
Moreover, Gob just landed here and destroyed the city, so how come the Earth monsters have come out and caused secondary destruction?
Is this place some kind of auspicious feng shui location?
Uh, why would Earth create a monster to wreak havoc?
2nd Floor [Science Students Don't Lose Hair]:
Regarding this, I have a bold guess! I wonder if anyone has heard of the "Gaia hypothesis"?
A British scientist in the last century proposed that the Earth itself can be viewed as a giant, living organism! It has its own self-regulating mechanisms!
On the third floor, the user "[Science Students Don't Lose Hair]" continued:
Think about it this way: the cosmic monster Gob in the first episode is like a suddenly invading foreign virus or bacteria to Earth!
So what happens when Earth, as a living organism, is invaded by a virus? Of course, it sends out its own immune cells to eliminate it!
And Gil, this native monster sleeping underground, is Earth's "white blood cell"! The reason it broke out of the ground was not to destroy the city, but because it was stimulated by Gob's arrival and came out to kill the virus!
4th Floor [A Coffee Shop with a Creative Vibe]:
Holy crap! Dude, that explanation is actually quite possible. It makes sense in the world of tokusatsu (special effects) movies. Isn't Gaia itself a manifestation of Earth's consciousness? White blood cells killing viruses isn't impossible either!
But the problem is, Gob has already been killed by Gaia, so what is Gil coming out for?
5th floor [Science students don't lose hair] replied to 4th floor:
I understand now, that makes it much easier to explain!
The immune response is delayed! By the time Kiru finally woke up and crawled out of the ground, he found that the virus (Gob) was gone. However, it had already been awakened and was in a state of extreme excitement, so it began to attack everything around it indiscriminately.
In medicine, what is it called when white blood cells go berserk and indiscriminately attack the body's own normal tissues? It's called an allergic reaction!
So, Gaia fighting Kiru is essentially my dream helping Earth cure its allergies!
6th floor [joeee]:
A miracle cure for allergies!
But upon closer examination, Gu Nan's script definitely has this meaning!
The theme of this series is the coexistence of humans and the Earth, and the Earth's will is not necessarily all beneficial to humanity!
7th Floor [A 10-Year Longtime Fan of Chasing the Light]:
Kiru: Guys, does anyone know what happened? I slept too long and was late for work, then because I was so hungry I ate a few bites of the company snacks at my desk, and my colleague killed me with a photon ice blade.
The job market at Gaia is terrifying!!!
8th Floor [Hakimi North and South Green Beans]:
Did Earth itself send out forces to resist Gob?
But why did you arrive so late?
Holy crap!
Earth's consciousness is so cunning!
Ultraman and the monster are both betting on each other; it doesn't matter who beats Gob!
9th Floor [Update Urging Maniac]:
Why is your conversation getting more and more abstract?
The more we talk about it, the more I want to see episode three! That cool guy in black from the trailer is going to appear, right?
Another Ultraman!
Since Gaia represents the earth, the blue one must be the ocean!
What do you think the other Ultraman will look like?
What is the relationship between the will of the ocean and humanity?
Will a fight break out?!
10th Floor [Waiting for Friday]:
They have to fight! It won't be interesting if they don't!
Gu Laozei's first time creating two Ultraman characters was definitely not for them to hold hands and fight monsters together.
It's definitely not like Eddie and Julian!
I can't wait for next week! I can't take another day of this awful life!
The discussion on Baidu Tieba continued to heat up, and countless screenshots and GIFs were made into memes and spread wildly on the Internet.
Countless people are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the third episode.
