Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

The story of "Ultraman Gaia" continues to be a hit.

The two distinctly different human forms of Takayama Gamu and Fujimiya Hiroya have already taken root in the hearts of the audience.

One is a sunny and pure-hearted genius boy who firmly believes that humanity and the earth can move towards the future together;

One is a cold and aloof ocean light, who believes that humans are the biggest pests on Earth.

The clash between the two ideologies has only scratched the surface, and viewers have already begun placing bets in various online communities.

When will these two actually start fighting?

But the narrative pace of the Land of Light never makes it easy to guess what will happen next.

Just as everyone was focused on the standoff between Imu and Fujimiya, another subplot quietly emerged.

KCB TV station.

This news media outlet has been making frequent appearances in the storyline in various ways since Gob's first appearance.

From street-level giant screens to paleontology research labs located in the suburbs, KCB News' signal covers almost every place with human activity.

Monster disasters followed one after another, and Alchemy Star's doomsday prophecy about the "Destruction-Inducing Entity" was also made public through the media.

The camera cuts to the KCB studio.

Reiko sat in front of the anchor desk.

"Since the appearance of Gob, monster disasters have followed one after another."

Reiko's voice traveled through the airwaves to every household: "You viewers probably already have a basic understanding of the Alchemy Star's prophecy about the doomsday summoner."

The scene cuts to a montage sequence.

The ruins of the city that emerged from the ground, the passage of Kiru, the falling of Apatee from the sky, and the salt frost left behind by the evaporation of Bokulagu on the coastline.

Every frame serves as a reminder to the viewer.

This isn't a movie; it's reality unfolding right now.

The camera returns to Reiko's face.

She looked directly into the camera, as if making eye contact with everyone sitting in front of the television through the lens.

"What exactly is the purpose of the 'Destruction-Inducing Entity'?"

Will Earth face destruction as predicted?

Where does humanity's future lie?

The three questions were each more somber than the last.

But Reiko didn't let the silence last long.

She sat up slightly.

"But we are not without hope."

The camera cuts to footage captured from a distance on the battlefield.

The Red Giant!

"On the battlefield ravaged by monsters, a giant of light appeared who was dedicated to eliminating monsters for humanity. His name is Ultraman Gaia."

The live chat exploded with excitement.

"Reclaim!! Reclaim the words Fujimiya said to Reiko when he first appeared!!"

"So Fujimiya really was planning this! He wanted to spread the name Ultraman all over the world through the media!"

"Is this Agul's strategy? It's completely different from Gaia's. Gaia subdued monsters with his fists, while Agul seized the cognitive high ground through information warfare!"

"Fujimiya: Although I was electrocuted, my brain is the best in the entire series."

"I now suspect that Fujimiya did something in each episode that we didn't notice..."

Screen switch.

At the Paleontological Institute, the television was on, and KCB News was playing.

But Dr. Asano Mirai, who was sitting at the table, was not reading the news.

She was focused on her research with her head down.

Just then, a roar came from outside, interrupting Dr. Future's actions.

But she didn't turn around, didn't get up, and didn't show any panic.

The roar seemed to be within her expectations, or perhaps it was as if she was waiting for something to happen.

Staff who got up early to go to work at the dam discovered a sea anemone in their usual work area.

To be precise, it was a giant sea anemone that was over forty meters tall.

Normal sea anemones would never grow to this size, nor would they inexplicably appear in the very center of a city's water supply reservoir.

The surveillance footage of the dam was quickly transmitted to the XIG air base.

Dunzi projected the image onto the big screen, and Director Di's brows furrowed.

"The reservoir is the city's drinking water source. If this thing releases any pollutants, the consequences would be unimaginable. Notify the Lightning Team—"

"Can't."

An unfamiliar voice suddenly came from the command room.

Someone has hacked into the XIG network.

Commander Shishi's pupils contracted sharply, and Dunzi's fingers flew across the keyboard, creating a blur as he tried to trace the source of the intrusion, but the voice calmly continued speaking.

"Don't get close to it, and don't let anyone notice its presence!"

Realizing something was wrong, I immediately set out without even obtaining permission from the commander.

"Ishimuro: Who exactly is the commander? I feel like I've been sidelined."

"XIG, you can continue to spoil Meng. This child is getting more and more wild."

"This should be @FengYuan. If FengYuan dared to act so recklessly in MAC, he would have been beaten up by Master Qi long ago."

"Brother, Seventh Master's Ultraman cane isn't that slow. Feng Yuan had barely uttered the words when he was already on the wall."

The scene changes.

I dreamt that I drove to a paleontology institute.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, I jumped out and rushed towards the gate.

boom!

Then he was bounced away.

An invisible barrier pushed him back several steps the instant he touched the door.

Defensive force field.

I rubbed my shoulder where I'd been hit, ignoring the pain, and shouted towards the research institute.

"I am the dream of Alchemy Star! The future belongs to you, right? You're the one who sent the message to the air base, right?!"

It turns out that the person who issued the warning was Asano Mirai.

I dreamt that I entered the research institute with Asano Mirai, and at the same time asked her about the giant sea anemone, whether Mirai knew anything about it.

Doctor Future likened the monster to a ghost or spirit, something that, in legends, only appears around those who are aware of it.

"Anemos".

"It will be a long time coming," he said.

This is a creature called Anemos, which looks like a proctologist, but does not belong to any modern species. Its fossil is that of a creature that went extinct in the Cambrian period.

The message was simultaneously sent to the air base.

For a scientifically minded commander, even uttering the word "ghost" would be hard to accept.

According to Dr. Future, it is the materialized manifestation of the consciousness left behind by extinct creatures.

Because consciousness and matter are relative in the microscopic world of quantum mechanics, fluctuations in the consciousness of an observer can affect that life form.

Although the commander merely nodded, his furrowed brows and blinking, clear pupils spoke volumes about his true feelings.

"Are you speaking...human language?"

At that moment, I dreamt of explaining.

"Simply put, if more people become aware of it, that energy will revive the monster."

Once I explained it this way, everyone understood.

Including the viewers in front of the screen.

Director Di immediately said he would send people to strengthen the surrounding cordon.

At this moment, Dunzi posed a profound question to the commander of the stone chamber.

"Commander, did you understand?"

The stone chamber remained silent for a few seconds.

"The only thing I know is that this monster is real."

The subtext is that I didn't understand anything from beginning to end.

But as a commander, even if you don't understand the principles, you must grasp the certainty that allows you to make a decision.

The viewers in front of the screen were in a similar situation to the commander in the stone chamber.

"As expected of a top student from the Alchemy Star, I understand now after just one explanation!"

"Hilarious! I was just wondering if I was too stupid to understand, but it turns out Dr. Asano's description was just too abstract."

"The reaction in the XIG command center is exactly what I saw on the screen. I even screenshotted Commander Ishimuro's expression and turned it into a meme. I didn't understand what he was saying, but I was deeply shocked.jpg"

"The communication skills of the geniuses on Alchemy Star are indeed flawed. Apart from I-Meng, I-Meng is the only one on the team who can translate quantum mechanics into plain language."

"That's probably why the commander turns a blind eye to my dream's willful behavior. I wouldn't be willing to let go of the team's only technical translator either."
