Ultraman: Old Tom was actually a tsundere

Chapter 89 XIG Annihilated, the Fate of Ariel Base

Before the dark green wreckage had been completely cleared, XIG received another alarm.

Ishimura rubbed his temples, his face revealing his exhaustion. The continuous battles had left him mentally and physically drained, but he dared not let his guard down.

The enemy was coming on strong.

"The communications satellite is malfunctioning." Atsuko said with a serious expression, concerned for Gamu, who was lying in the hospital.

"How could this happen?"

Georgie's eyes widened.

"An unidentified object has appeared above the Ariel base."

Shi Shi's heart skipped a beat.

The enemy's plan was very well-thought-out.

So, they're here for XIG this time?

"Director Di, please investigate immediately."

The three Falcon team fighter jets quickly took off, and because of the close proximity, they saw Mochian a few minutes later.

"It's huge." Lin Xingshi, a member of the Falcon team, was stunned.

They were seasoned veterans, yet they were still astonished.

The only one comparable to him is Zolim from back then.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Captain Yoneda realized what was happening and tried to transmit the images and videos to the Ariel base.

As a result, the electromagnetic barrier not only caused communication failures, but Mochian also continuously released electromagnetic waves that interfered with the operation of the fighter jets.

Left with no other option, they had to retreat back to the Ariel base.

Fortunately, the images and data captured by the fighter jet were preserved.

The computer quickly analyzed Mochian's basic data.

Notably, in addition to Mochian's enormous size, the computer analysis also revealed that it contained a strange, inverted pyramid-shaped rock inside its body.

"What is that?" Ishimura wasn't very familiar with this.

"It's a monopole." A weak but familiar voice came, and Ishimura was overjoyed and quickly looked over.

Sure enough, I dreamt of coming back to life.

His face was pale, but he seemed to be in good spirits, his eyes fixed intently on the screen.

"I dreamt about your body," Atsuko couldn't help but say with concern.

I waved my hand and said, "It's nothing."

"I never imagined such a creature existed." He put his health aside and offered his explanation:

"Simply put, magnets have north and south poles, and theoretically such things do exist."

"If this monster were to land on the Earth, the immense magnetic force it would generate would affect the movement of tectonic plates, acting like a magnet to pull all the continents together."

Captain Yoneda broke out in a cold sweat instantly. "You mean, the continents are constantly colliding with each other?"

"That would cause a massive earthquake, and none of the life forms on it would survive."

I slowly nodded. "Yes."

Each time, the Root Destruction Entity comes up with a new trick, making humanity feel like the end of the world is coming.

The same applies today.

Fortunately, there are Ultra Warriors and Xia Yu.

Shi Shi glanced at my dream without leaving a trace.

But is his physical condition still sufficient to support him in transforming and fighting?

"It will have an impact on the ground in 30 minutes."

My dream sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

"Deploy all XIG forces to repel the enemy."

"Ariel base begins movement, target Morchian."

"Furthermore," Ishimuro clenched his fist slightly, "all logistics and other non-essential personnel, immediately take a flight and leave the Ariel base."

Staff Officer Chiba, Chief Tsutsumi, Captain Yoneda, Atsuko, and Joey were all taken aback.

"Commander, what do you mean?" Chiba wanted to confirm with himself whether he had understood correctly.

"Execute the command."

"Understood." They all sensed the determination in the stone chamber.

The Ariel base was bustling with activity.

Nine fighter jets from the Lightning Team, Falcon Team, and Cool Dragon Team took off first as the first wave of attacks to meet the enemy.

"Cheer up, everyone! Don't lose to the other teams!" Kajio said, patting his head hard.

"Don't worry, Captain."

"I will definitely make it to the end."

The Lightning team has fought three battles in a row, and their physical strength is gradually approaching its limit.

The Falcons and the Cool Dragons are about the same.

But they had no other choice.

Nine fighter jets quickly approached the target and launched an attack.

Despite the disruption to communications, their ranks remained orderly.

This had happened before when I met Waset, so I was prepared.

However, Mochian is not simply large.

It looks like a round, fleshy ball, but the wrinkled skin on its surface seems to have reduced the impact of artillery fire.

They concentrated their firepower on trying to break one of its "limbs" but failed.

"Damn it." Kajio gritted his teeth, dodging the electric current released by Mochian as he forced his way closer.

He wants to increase his attack power by closing the distance.

This is a very dangerous act, like dancing around a fire.

Sure enough, after several attacks, he was struck by electric current.

The fighter jet caught fire on its left wing and spun as it plummeted downwards.

"Ritsuko, I won't die!"

Longing to stand before that important person once more, Kajio miraculously managed to regain control of his out-of-balance fighter jet and successfully made an emergency landing.

The slight pain is nothing compared to the worry and heaviness in my heart.

After him, only the flagship aircraft of Yoneda and Inagi remained in the sky.

All the other fighter jets crashed, and their fate is unknown!

Mochian's attack has escalated.

Thick, long cannons extended from all four sides of its body, actively attacking the Ariel base that was ready to engage.

Caught off guard, the outer armor of the Ariel base was penetrated, sparks flew, and flames roared.

"Half of the B4 turret was destroyed."

"Second Mechanical Department, system engine shutdown."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a shell pierced through the bottom armor and exploded not far from the command room.

Caught off guard, Shi Shi and the others all fell to the ground.

Flames and shockwaves burned through the command center, destroyed countless electrical circuits, and caused various gases to leak indiscriminately.

The room was in a mess, with the lights flickering on and off.

Shi Shi slowly stood up, gazing at the Ariel base that he was so proud of.

He was like a child, carrying the hopes of himself and humanity.

And today, he is so miserable.

"How can I defeat my opponent?" he muttered to himself.

"By using an anti-gravity device to convert the Ariel base into the magnetic field of Antarctica as much as possible, we can attract the Mochian away from Earth."

At the crucial moment, my dream provided a solution.

"Issue the order for all ships to disembark; the logistics team should have mostly finished their evacuation."

"Disembarkation must be completed within 10 minutes!"

Director Tsutsumi opened his mouth as if to say something, but Ishimura said calmly, "Execute the order."

A somber atmosphere hung in the air at Ariel Base; everyone knew what leaving at this moment meant.

Georgie clearly had a deep affection for the giant ship where she worked.

"How long is this war going to last?" she couldn't help but cover her face and weep.

Atsuko put her arm around her shoulder and they slowly left.

In less than 10 minutes, all XIG personnel had left, including Staff Officer Chiba and Chief Tsutsumi.

The once vast Ariel base was now reduced to just the stone chamber and my dream.

"Pal, convert the Ariel base into an Antarctic magnet."

With the help of artificial intelligence, Ariel Base quickly completed the corresponding changes.

Sure enough, Morchian was inexplicably drawn to the Ariel base and flew towards outer space.

The farther away from Earth, the safer it is.

Unfortunately, things are unpredictable.

Because the Ariel base was damaged in the previous Mochian offensive, the ships developed cracks.

This caused the magnetic field strength to begin to decrease.

Without sufficient magnetic attraction, Mochian began to drift back toward Earth.

Shi Shi suddenly looked up and noticed the anomaly in the base.

His eyes flickered, and a struggle was evident between his brows.

What would you do?

Unbeknownst to him, in a dark corner, someone was watching him with a faint smile, waiting for his decision.
