Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 263 The Connection Between Orphnoch and the Jaw Gate: Flower Shape Selection

Watching Hanagata's departing figure, Shen Yun shook his head.

He could guess what Hanagata was thinking.

Hanagata's desire to find the King of the Orphnochs was simply to change the Orphnochs' short lifespan and, through the King of the Orphnochs, to make the Orphnoch race prosperous.

However, the fact that the King of the Orphnoch hunted and ate the Orphnochs clearly conflicted with his beliefs.

It's just unknown what choice Hanagata will make this time.

However, regardless of what Hanagata thinks, the King of Orphnoch must awaken.

Of course, Shen Yun had no good feelings towards the King of Orphnoch.

For him, the greatest value of the King of Orphnoch was simply to serve as a useful research subject.

If he doesn't let the King of Orphnoch awaken, how can he research the ability to grant the King of Orphnoch immortality? And how can he research a method to awaken an Orphnoch without dying?

How did he optimize the photon blood developed based on the fossilization ability of the King of Orphnoch?

Although he possesses the fossil remains of the King of Orphnoch, how can a fossil compare to a living one?

"Heh, evolution..." Shen Yun glanced at the stone statue on the table and sneered.

If we're really talking about evolution, then perhaps only the King of the Orphnoch can be considered to have truly completed it.

But this king of the Orphnochs, who had completed his evolution, fed on Orphnochs.

Not to mention, the Orphnochs' so-called immortality depends on the whims of the Orphnoch King.

Only those he considers friends will be granted the ability to be immortal.

If someone is identified as an enemy by him, they will be turned into a fossil and become his food.

Such immortality is more like food kept by the King of Orphnoch.

As for being recognized as a friend by the King of Orphnoch...

Dogs are man's best friend.

The immortality granted by the King of Orphnoch is like eating meat; a person who has eaten the meat doesn't mind throwing the leftover bones to a dog to taste.

What kind of evolution is this?

What kind of immortality is this?

It's not even as good as a single hair on the jaw.

According to Kino in the series, as long as one can overcome one's weaknesses, remember one's true self, and not fall into depravity and lose control under the power of the Jaw Gate, one can obtain the power of infinite evolution.

The evolution of the jaw is more like evolution than that of the Orphnoch.

Orphnoch, on the contrary, seems to be a flawed form of evolution.

One represents an infinite future, the other has no future at all. (It's said that the Orphnoch concept originated from an idea that Toshiki didn't realize in Agito: what if Agito became an enemy of humanity? This contrast between the two is truly brilliant. Toshiki's talent is undeniable, but unfortunately, he has a penchant for creating terrible things; I still can't forget the Fusion Advent...)

However, speaking of the jaw...

It's unclear whether Prometheus will actually appear in this timeline.

Although A2 no longer needs to worry about the erosion of the Amadam Spirit Stone after absorbing the new life form.

However, since he intends to create the ultimate monster, the power of light, which can evolve infinitely, is naturally the first choice.

If all else fails, then he can only go to Opaz, who sealed the Black God's genetic information, and awaken the Black God to ask for some dark power.

However, this is the only option available.

If he could obtain the power of light that could evolve infinitely, then he would naturally not need to consider the power of darkness.

It's important to know that Shining Agito, combined with the power of will, could defeat Dark God. (According to the official setting, Shoichi did indeed defeat Dark God, but Dark God is the embodiment of darkness and has no concept of death. However, Dark God's plan to destroy humanity was thus interrupted. Because humanity showed signs of destroying Agito, Dark God believed that Agito would soon perish and decided to witness Agito's demise. However, in the final ending, humanity still chose Agito, choosing an infinite future. Toshiki's writing is truly excellent.)

Given this comparison, anyone who isn't a fool would choose the power of light first.

Moreover, given Black God's extremely controlling personality, Shen Yun felt it was best not to awaken him unless absolutely necessary.

Let him sleep on until history is corrected.

Shen Yun shook his head, dispelling the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and refocused his gaze on the stone statue placed on the table.

Although, Orphnoch seems to be a flawed evolution.

However, the original Orphnoch species are actually quite powerful, and they can also evolve like the Jaw Gate.

For example, Qiaoye's running state, Xiao Ma Ge's running state, passionate state, passionate running state, and Jiehua's flying state, passionate state, and passionate flying state.

All of this indicates that the original Orphnoch species also has the potential for further evolution.

Shen Yun touched his chin, feeling that Orphnoch and the jaw gate were somehow connected.

"Mebius, get rid of this statue," Shen Yun ordered, patting the statue on the table.

This person's body has completely turned into minerals and has very little research value.

"Yes!" Metamorphosis picked up the stone statue and walked out of the tent.

the other side.

Queen Ant, through the power of darkness, contacted the god of water and asked about her doubts about Orphnoch.

"The Orphnochs? Their existence is indeed related to the power of light," said the god above the water. (This is a personal interpretation; please don't take it too seriously.)

"God, do you need us to eliminate these Orphnochs?" Queen Ant looked at the God of Water, her red vertical pupils filled with a cold and stern expression.

"Legia, you should know about Armageddon, right?" The goddess above the water did not answer the Queen Ant's question, but instead asked this question.

Although somewhat puzzled by the Water God's intentions, Queen Ant Venerable answered truthfully, "I know."

"Prometheus was defeated in his battle with the gods at Armageddon and showered the world with the power of light, giving all mankind the power of light. In his great anger, the gods commanded us to unleash a great flood to destroy the world."

"But the god who favored humanity relented at the last moment and sent the ark to save a portion of humanity. The humans of today are descended from those who survived. It can be said that every human being today possesses, to varying degrees, the power of light."

"Some humans never awaken the power of light within them until they die, while others can awaken the power of light but cannot truly awaken as AGITO."

"And the Orphnochs are the product of the rapid evolution of the light power within these two beings, stimulated by death. Because humans cannot withstand this rapid evolution, the lifespan of the Orphnochs is usually very short, and they have also lost the ability to evolve with the power of light. Without our intervention, the Orphnoch race will perish on its own," the Water God said calmly.

"But I've heard that the King of Orphnoch possesses the ability to grant Orphnoch immortality," Queen Ant Venerable added.

"That doesn't matter, because the immortal Orphnochs are no longer human."

"...I understand." (A reasonable guess; the explanation will be provided by the author.)

……

The next day.

Before dawn, a series of alarms woke people from their sleep.

Shen Yun strode up to the defensive line that the strange men had built overnight, and used binoculars to watch the returning army of strange men shrouded in thick fog.

Shen Yun frowned slightly as he watched the army of strange fog-shrouded figures return.

He always felt that something was off about this army of strange, foggy figures, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Pass down the order to everyone to be careful. This time, the fog monster that has returned is acting strangely," Shen Yun said, putting down his binoculars and speaking to A2 beside him.

"Understood." A2 nodded and immediately gave the instructions.

After being bombarded by Shocker's artillery fire, the Fog Monster also rushed to the defensive line that the Shocker Monsters had built overnight, and engaged in close combat with the Shocker Monsters and the Venerable One.

While the two sides were fighting fiercely, powerful fog monsters tied up Shocker's monsters and masters, preventing them from eliminating the lower-level fog monsters and forcing them to guard against attacks from the fog monsters.

Seeing this, Shen Yun understood.

Instead of simply hatching low-level minions, the Mother of Fog developed mid- to high-level combat forces, allowing the Fog Kingdom's human wave tactics to be more effective.

"This is troublesome..." Shen Yun frowned, then turned to A2 beside him and said, "A2, you go."

"Yes." A2 leaped down from the defensive line, transformed in mid-air, and landed among the fog-shrouded monsters.

A2 flashed and appeared as if by teleportation in front of a fog monster fighting with a Shocker monster. A2 simply raised his hand and swung it down.

The sharp fin-like blade on A2's forearm sliced ​​the fog-shrouded monster in two.

Then, her figure flickered again, and she teleported to another fog monster, kicking it and smashing its head open.

Watching A2 sweep away the high-level monsters in the thick fog one by one, Shen Yun's brows did not relax.

Although A2 killed quickly, the opponent had a large number of people, and individual strength could not make up for the difference in numbers.

Even if A2 can clear out thousands of fog monsters per second, with a total number of nearly 50 million, how long would it take to kill this army of fog monsters?

Therefore, protecting his safety is more meaningful than fighting on the battlefield.

This time, there was really no other way but to send A2 to clear the dense fog of the high-level monster.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Under A2's efficient slaughter, even the high-level monsters in the dense fog were frightened by A2's strength and hurriedly called on the low-level monsters in the dense fog to retreat.

As the army of strange creatures in the dense fog retreated, they did not forget to take the corpses of the lower-level strange creatures in the fog with them.

The corpses of these fog monsters can be used to feed the young fog monsters, ensuring a continuous army of fog monsters.

Therefore, the cadres and high-level monsters of the dense fog do not actually care about the consumption of these low-level monsters.

After the army of strange creatures in the dense fog retreated, Shen Yun had A2 retrieve a piece of a fog monster's limb for analysis.

While the fog monsters were still in a hurry to react, Shen Yun developed a high-powered bullet with extremely strong penetrating power, which could easily penetrate the fog monsters' body defenses.

In this way, even ordinary people can use these bullets to kill the low-level monsters in the dense fog.

After this highly penetrating and powerful bullet was developed, it was quickly mass-produced and equipped on ordinary people.

In addition to these armor-piercing bullets, the Venerables awakened by the Water God also continuously came to the front lines to assist them in the battle.

Meanwhile, the memory chip factory in Fengdu was operating at full capacity, continuously sending mass-produced Gaia memory chips to the front lines.

Even the newly appointed Shocker executive, Sonozaki Ryubei, came to the front lines to provide assistance.

The Lv.3 bio-modified soldiers of the modified soldier project were also deployed in large numbers to this war.

The war between Shocker and the Fog Kingdom has entered a stalemate, with fierce battles taking place every day, and both sides experiencing victories and defeats.

……

Inside the command post.

Shen Yun frowned, looking at the simulation sand table on the table, pondering how to deal with the strange people of the Fog Kingdom.

The strange creatures of the Fog Kingdom have a strong learning ability. They went from knowing nothing at the beginning to being able to use tactics in battle in just a few months.

"We can't continue like this. We have to find a way to take down the Fog Mothership," Shen Yun said softly, looking at the Fog Mountain area on the sand table.

The area around Kiritake is located by the sea, which means that there is no shortage of strange and high-level strange people in the dense fog.

At that moment, the curtain of the command post was suddenly lifted, and Hanagata walked in from outside.

"Doctor, another Orphnoch has been preyed upon by the King," Hanagata reported.

"Another Orphnoch has been preyed upon? It seems the time for the Orphnoch King to fully awaken is not far off. You should be happy," Shen Yun said without looking up.

"Happy..." A bitter smile appeared on Hanagata's weathered face, but his eyes suddenly hardened as he said, "Doctor, I don't intend to resurrect the King."

"Oh? Why?" Shen Yun asked, looking up at Hanagata with interest.

"This is not the future I want, nor is it the future that the Orphnochs need. Although I have awakened into an Orphnoch, I still have a human heart and the dignity of being a human! I would rather the Orphnochs perish than see a future where they are kept as food by the King!" Hanagata said firmly as he looked at Shen Yun.

"Aren't you afraid I'll stop you from telling me all this?" Shen Yun asked, smiling as she looked at Hanagata.

"Even if you try to stop me, I'm going to do it!" Hanagata said.

"The King of the Orphnoch has devoured many Orphnochs and may have regained some of its strength. You are no match for it," Shen Yun said after a moment of silence.

"That's just death, anyway. As an Orphnoch, I didn't have many years left to live," Hanagata said.

The more Orphnoch uses its powers, the faster its lifespan shortens.

After years of fierce battles, the current Hanagata probably won't survive until 2003.

"You're really quite carefree," Shen Yun smiled and said, "Then go ahead, I won't stop you."

"Thank you for your understanding, Doctor." Hanagata gave a slight bow and then turned to leave the command post.

Watching Hanagata's departing figure, Shen Yun remained silent for a moment before instructing, "A2, do not let his body be eaten by the King of Orphnoch. Bring his body back for a proper burial."

"Yes!" A2 nodded and immediately followed.

Based on Min Gui's idea, I've privately set the Orphnoch as a death evolution branch of Agito, which also aligns with the original Orphnoch's ability to evolve into various states such as Sprint, Flight, Charge, Swim, and Passion.

Furthermore, after awakening into an Orphnoch, the Orphnoch will have the urge to attack people indiscriminately, and the superpowered individuals in Agito are also prone to losing control and killing people.

In particular, the appearance of Agito, who is transformed by Kino, is more like that of a venerable one than Agito.

After all, Prometheus was separated from the body of the Dark God, a classic example of enemies and allies sharing the same origin. This also explains why Orphnoch turned into a monster after his death.

The power of light that Prometheus spread to all mankind also explains why the people in Faiz have a chance to evolve into Orphnochs after death.

Because, in the Agito universe, humans can also evolve into Agito, it's just a matter of time.

The Dawn Incident was Prometheus accelerating the evolution of the passengers on the Dawn.

Especially Shoichi, who directly skipped the excessive superpowers and evolved into Agito.

These conjectures are merely personal ideas, a speculative setting within the context of worldview integration. Take them with a grain of salt and don't take them too seriously.

Although, there were indeed rumors about this in the past.
