Chapter 1192
The Jilong People: Despair
The moment the Jilongren and Aliponta stumbled and collapsed to the ground, panting, the nearby human settlement erupted in chaos, only to fall into a deathly silence of despair—some people slumped to the ground, covering their faces with their hands, their voices filled with despair and resignation.
The humans are numb.
With apostles lurking in front and monsters fleeing behind, these two wounded yet still ferocious extradimensional monsters have now appeared, giving them no chance to catch their breath. Many people stared at the Gilon and Aliponta on the ground, their eyes filled with numbness, and some even couldn't help but curse: "Damn it... why don't you just kill us? Who can stand this kind of torment!"
Some people sighed in agreement, while others gripped their weapons tightly but felt weak all over. No one dared to step forward, and no one knew what to do. They could only watch helplessly as the two monsters lay not far away, filled with despair—they had long since lost their confidence due to the successive crises.
Yui Ikari stood at the edge of the crowd, her brows furrowed, her clear eyes filled with worry. Her gaze fell on Jilongren and Aliponta, then unconsciously drifted towards the direction Cui Ming had left in. Her fingers gently gripped the hem of her clothes, her tone hesitant: "They... escaped. What if Cui Ming...?"
Before she could finish speaking, she felt a warm hand pat her shoulder, gentle yet firm. Turning around, she saw Misato smiling at her, her eyes showing no worry, but rather understanding and composure.
"Don't worry, these guys are the ones who should be afraid."
Miri patted her shoulder with a smile, her tone relaxed, but her eyes were fixed on the two monsters not far away. She thought to herself, "These two managed to escape Cui Ming's trap; they're quite capable. Too bad they had to mess with Cui Ming. Now they probably don't even have a chance to regret it." She knew Cui Ming too well; the more provoked and unexpected he was, the more ruthless he became.
Meanwhile, Cui Ming also caught up to the ground. He stood on a reef not far away, looking at the Jilongren and Aliponta lying on the ground, covered in wounds but still alive. He raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes—he hadn't expected that these two guys could actually escape from the series of traps he had set.
you can!
Cui Ming's lips curled into a ferocious grin, the surprise quickly replaced by fanaticism and murderous intent. He clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, his eyes flashing with a frightening light, his mind roaring: These two cannot live!!! They must both be killed!!!
They actually managed to escape from his trap. Keeping them around would only cause trouble sooner or later. Besides, these were "old friends" he had been looking for for a long time. How could he let them escape again by chance?
so.
Cui Ming slowly raised his hands, his tone calm yet undeniably resolute, his eyes surging with intense fighting spirit: "Since it's you, then... this time, I'll use this power."
He turned slightly to the side, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the human settlement not far away, as well as the direction of Yui and Misato—Cui Ming couldn't reveal his individual combat capabilities right now. If he used his full strength here, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble, and might even attract more attention, which would be a loss.
so.
Use Ultraman's power!
The moment the thought crossed Cui Ming's mind, a faint glow appeared on his fingers, and two silver Ultra Rings slowly emerged. The rings were engraved with intricate patterns and shone with a soft yet powerful light. They were tightly attached to his fingertips, and a powerful force instantly surged from the rings, spreading along his arms and throughout his body.
"Ace!" Cui Ming roared, his voice booming with boundless fighting spirit, echoing throughout the heavens and earth. The next second, two dazzling red and blue lights burst forth from the Ultra Ring, instantly enveloping him. The blinding light illuminated the entire sky, making it impossible to open one's eyes. A huge energy wave swept over, the ground trembled slightly, and even the wind became scorching hot.
boom!
After a deafening roar, the light gradually faded, revealing a tall and imposing figure standing on the ground. His silver-red body was covered in iconic markings, his head was silver, and his eyes glowed with bright red light. A powerful aura surrounded him, radiating intimidation—Ultraman Ace! He's here!
Hearing the loud noise, the Jilongren and Aliponta, who were lying on the ground, instinctively raised their heads. When they saw the tall Ultraman figure, their bodies stiffened abruptly, and the relief in their eyes was instantly replaced by extreme fear. They even stopped breathing—it was Ultraman! And it was Ultraman Ace!
The people of the EVA world didn't recognize Ultraman. Neither Ultraman Ace's appearance nor the fluctuations of Ultraman power were anything but foreign to them. Some instinctively took a step back, their eyes filled with wariness; others stood on tiptoe, staring intently at the giant figure, muttering to themselves, "What...what is that? A giant? I've never seen one before."
Panic and doubt intertwined. The glimmer of hope that had been ignited by seeing Ultraman was suppressed by the unknown vigilance—in this world fraught with danger, any unfamiliar and powerful being could be a new threat.
But
Someone suddenly frowned, staring at the giant's face, their tone hesitant and reminiscent: "Wait... this giant... it feels kind of familiar?"
At least Jack, who had transformed into Choi Mink earlier, had been helpful.
They remembered how the Sigirth couple had appeared, causing chaos and panic, and how the strange giant had suddenly appeared, harming no one and simply taking away the two monsters, thus quelling the crisis. Although they didn't know the giant, they couldn't deny that he had done them a great favor, saving them from considerable losses.
Therefore, they believe
Some people looked up, their gazes falling on Ultraman Ace's face—his silver-red body was majestic, but his face exuded a gentleness, without the slightest ferocity or malice, more like a compassionate bodhisattva from legend.
This giant with a Buddha-like face
Whispers began to rise from the crowd, the wariness fading and replaced by anticipation and reassurance: "They should be the same as that giant from before, right? Are they here to help us?" "They don't look like bad guys, they look so gentle, they're definitely not here to cause trouble!"
Someone breathed a sigh of relief, a long-lost smile appearing on their face, the despair in their eyes completely replaced by hope: "They must be a good person, right?"
Yui looked up at the tall figure, her eyes filled with a gentle smile, and nodded slightly—although she didn't know what this giant was, she could sense that, like the aura emanating from Choi Myung, it carried a sense of protection.
Misato leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and smiled wryly, thinking to herself: These guys are quite the conjectures. But they're not wrong, this guy really is here to "help" deal with those two monsters.
The Jilongren and Aliponta, who were lying on the ground, trembled with anger upon hearing the humans' discussions, yet were filled with despair—what good people? This was nothing but that evil god Cui Ming in disguise!
They were here to kill them! But they were covered in wounds and had no strength to resist. They could only watch helplessly as the tall figure walked towards them step by step. (End of Chapter)
