Chapter 364 The Broken Pandora's Box and the Tears of the Guardian! Master Gao's Dual-Line
In the footage, strong winds howl on the winding mountain road of the Santong Mountains.
In order to catch up with Yuichi, the gigantic mountain child took heavy steps and overturned all the boulders blocking its way.
With each step the gigantic mountain boy took, the earth trembled violently.
Feng Chui piloted his fighter jet, circling in the air, his brow furrowed as he looked down at the raging behemoth below.
"Now that things have come to this, are you still sure it hasn't been infected by the Light Virus? Answer me, Musashi!"
On the other side, Musashi, who was with Vice Captain Mizuha, clenched his fists tightly, his eyes fixed on the mountain child below.
After hearing Mr. Iwata recount his childhood memories and explain that the Yamawaro would go berserk when his friends were in danger, Musashi understood that the Yamawaro was not evil.
"Please don't do anything reckless! Senior Fengchui!"
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded from the direction of the city in the distance—Gamoran was raging in the city, with flames shooting into the sky.
The mountain child suddenly turned in that direction; it sensed a threat.
For this yokai who protects the mountains and children, anything that could harm Yuichi must be eliminated.
"roar--!"
The mountain boy gave up chasing the vehicles on the highway, turned around, and began to run heavily towards the city.
The city streets were in a state of chaos.
Gamoran strode forward, leveling buildings one by one.
On the ground, a group of children were pushing a supermarket cart through the ruins, with a trembling little monster named Mining sitting inside.
"Run! Mining! That's your father! You have to stop him!"
The children shouted innocently.
After all, in their eyes, Mining looks very much like Gamoran, and since Gamoran has grown so big, Mining will definitely make Gamoran quiet down.
However, the raging Gamoran did not recognize its own kind at all. It raised its huge foot, about to stomp down towards the children.
At the critical moment, a huge figure crashed into them—it was the mountain child!
The mountain child roared and charged at Gamoran, and the two giant beasts engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat in the city.
Although Yamawaro possessed immense strength, Gamoran's armor was incredibly thick, and his attacks were entirely those of a killing machine, each strike potentially fatal.
After several rounds, Yamawaro was swept to the ground by a heavy blow from Gamoran, rolling around in the ruins in a sorry state.
The mountain boy struggled to his feet, his eyes blazing with even greater anger.
However, just as it was about to pounce on Gamoran again, its gaze suddenly froze.
On the ground, Xiao Mi Ning, who had rolled out of the cart, was shivering and curled up beside the ruins.
The mountain boy's eyes widened suddenly.
Exactly the same as Gamoran.
Images of Gamoran destroying the city flashed through its mind, and then it looked at the little thing curled up in front of it.
In its simplistic understanding, the two are the same creature and both are threats.
"roar……"
The mountain child growled and slowly raised its huge foot, aiming it at Xiaomi Ning.
"don't want--!"
The group of children suddenly rushed out and spread their arms to block Mining.
The one leading the group was the little girl who had once saved Mining by waving a broom. She looked up, tears welling in her eyes, but she stubbornly stared at the fifty-meter-tall monster, the mountain boy.
"You are not allowed to hurt Mining! It is our friend!"
The other children also gathered around, forming a human wall with their small bodies to protect Mining behind them.
"Mining is a good child! It didn't hurt anyone!"
"Don't bully it!"
The mountain boy froze.
It stared blankly at the tiny human cubs at its feet, watching them tremble with fear yet stand firm without retreating an inch.
This scene reminded it of something...
Long, long ago, there was a little boy who was also my friend.
In order to prevent people from disturbing him in the mountains, he firmly prevented the mountain child from showing himself even when he was being bullied.
In that moment of stalemate, dazzling light burst forth between the streets.
Ultraman Cosmos descended in his Luna form, landing steadily between the children and the mountain children.
He glanced at Mining, who was trembling behind him, and the group of children who were desperately protecting their friends. Then he looked at the mountain boy in front of him, who was confused but still aggressive, and at Gamoran, who was standing up again in the distance.
A one-against-two situation is now inevitable.
"roar--!"
Gauss interrupted the mountain child's thoughts, and it once again descended into madness.
Just as Gauss tried to get closer, it swung its thick arm and slammed it hard into Gauss's chest.
Gauss did not dodge, but took the hit head-on, his body sliding backward dozens of meters.
At the same time, Gamoran rushed over, his claws slamming down on Gauss.
Gauss dodged and weaved between the two giant beasts, using gentle pushes to deflect the mountain child's attacks and try to quell its rage, while also having to spare energy to deal with Gamoran's merciless and deadly attacks.
Holy crap! Master Gao is taking on two opponents at once!
The pressure is immense!
[Mountain Child, wake up! Those are friendly forces!]
However, the mountain child's obsession ran too deep, and his attacks became increasingly frantic.
It retaliated even more fiercely against every obstruction from Gauss, while Gamoran waited for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Gauss's defense in Luna form gradually became inadequate, and the timer on his chest began to flash red.
With the three-minute time limit fast approaching, Gauss realized that defense alone could not solve the current predicament.
The blue light instantly transformed into a blazing crimson!
Corona Mode debuts!
[Master Gao's light is flashing red!]
[Here it comes! Master Gao is cutting the shape!]
[Mountain Child: Weren't you being quite gentle just now?]
If you won't listen to reason, then I'll have to resort to physics!
[The compassionate monk instantly transforms into a melee berserker!]
Once Gaussian has switched forms, it will no longer back down.
Facing the heavy punch thrown by the mountain child, Gauss nimbly dodged, grabbed the mountain child's arm with his backhand, and then delivered a powerful over-the-shoulder throw, slamming the huge monster hard to the ground.
He then turned and took Gamoran's attack head-on, using several powerful combinations of punches to force the steel behemoth back.
The mountain child struggled to get up again, but collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion. Heavy breathing came from its throat, and it still stared intently at Gamoran in the distance. It had not given up.
Just then, the vehicle that had been chasing the mountain boy on the highway finally arrived.
Mr. Iwata pushed open the car door and stumbled over.
He saw the mountain boy, and he also saw the direction the mountain boy was pointing.
The two Minings were exactly the same, one was ferocious and huge, and the other was weak and docile.
Tears welled up in Mr. Iwata's eyes. He finally understood that the reason the mountain child attacked Mining was simply because it was protecting human children in its own way.
Just like many years ago, it protected itself in the same way.
"Shantong! Stop it!"
Yamawaro, panting, raised his head and stared blankly at Iwata.
Mr. Iwata pulled the teardrop, now carved into wood, from his pocket, his hands trembling as he held it above his head, his voice choked with emotion: "Do you remember? This was a gift you gave me..."
His tears rolled down, falling onto the dusty ruins.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to forget you... I just couldn't help it, because I'm an adult now... I can no longer play with you like I used to..."
Upon hearing these words, the mountain boy's massive body trembled violently.
At the same time, it saw the little girl, Mining, carefully nudging her with its nose beside the ruins, making anxious "woof woof" sounds. The girl hugged Mining tightly around the neck, whispering comfortingly, "I'm okay, Mining, don't be afraid..."
The children surrounded Mining, their faces showing no fear, only pure concern.
A glint flashed in the mountain boy's eyes.
It finally understood that the little thing named Mining was not an enemy.
Just like itself, it simply wants to protect the people it cares about.
The way those children stood in front of his enormous feet was exactly the same as when Iwata stood in front of others to protect himself back then.
It turns out that trust and friendship never disappeared. Even though Iwata grew up, his feelings never changed.
A huge tear slid down the corner of the mountain boy's eye.
It finally stopped struggling, and its bloodshot eyes returned to a clear amber color.
It gazed silently at Iwata, at the group of children protecting Mining, a hint of indescribable sadness flashing in its eyes, yet also filled with understanding and relief.
The mountain boy understood.
The innocent boy it once protected is now a father.
He also has a little one he wants to protect with his life.
The mountain boy's enormous body began to transform into specks of starlight, rapidly shrinking until it finally disappeared into the vast night and forest.
The mountain child has been purified by the children...
The trust of children is the purest form of trust.
[So, through Minamoto's friendship with the children, Yamawara realized that even monsters are more sensible than you!]
However, Gauss's battle was not over.
Gamoran is still raging.
Gauss turned around, his crimson figure casting a resolute shadow across the ruins.
The battle with Yamawaro had exhausted Gauss's strength, and Gamoran's armor was incredibly thick. After several rounds of fighting, Gauss was starting to lose ground.
Gamoran's next charge sent Gauss crashing to the ground, where he tumbled several times in a disheveled manner.
Gauss got his comeuppance!
[This alien weapon has some pretty high stats!]
Is Pigmon's Mega Evolution really that powerful?
Unlike Minin, Gamoran is devoid of emotion; he is purely a war machine.
Just as Gauss was about to condense a coronal ray to directly obliterate Gamoran—
In the ruins below, the little girl who was tightly hugging Xiaomin suddenly pointed at Gamoran's head and shouted, "Ultraman Cosmos! Don't kill it! That starfish-like thing on its head is the evil thing controlling it!"
The child's clear shouts pierced through the roar of the battlefield.
Gauss's movements came to an abrupt halt.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he locked onto the bio-controller above Gamoran's head, which was flashing red.
Gauss quickly crossed his hands in front of his chest, converging the corona energy at his fingertips.
"Whoosh!"
A perfectly accurate palm-shaped light blade was fired, slicing the controller on Gamoran's head to pieces without missing a beat!
As the controller shattered into fragments, Gamoran's massive body stiffened abruptly, and the bloodthirsty red light in his eyes vanished instantly.
Then, in the soft light, its fifty-meter-tall body rapidly shrank, eventually turning back into the original little monster that was only a little over a meter tall with an innocent-looking face.
The two reunited little monsters stumbled towards each other, hugged tightly, and let out joyful cries.
Gauss, facing the rising sun, glanced back in the direction where the mountain boy had disappeared, where only a silent forest remained.
He nodded slightly, as if bidding farewell to the monster who was protecting the child, and then transformed into light and flew into the sky.
Shortly after, inside the youth elite team's protection center, two Minions were carefree rolling around on the lawn.
The Iwata father and son also resolved their differences, and the little boy Yuichi finally gained his father's understanding.
The Yamatong Mountains outside the window are lush and green, as if the legendary guardian is still quietly watching over everything from somewhere.
The scene freezes on the children's bright smiles, marking the official end of the third and longest episode.
(The later episodes are relatively more exciting, so I won't combine them; it would be too troublesome to write them as a whole.)
