Chapter 1414
Golza: Big brother, I'll follow you!
Golza is resting underground.
This place is really nice.
The magma flowed slowly not far away, and the hot energy penetrated my body, which felt much more comfortable than the broken rocks on the ground.
Selling out that idiot Melba and then diving headfirst into the ground was definitely a wise choice.
While those humans were still foolishly searching on the ground, who would have thought that Golza had already found a hot spring suite and was soaking in lava baths every day?
"This is great, this place is really great..."
It rolled over, its massive body rubbing against the rock strata to find a more comfortable position.
At this rate, after absorbing energy for a while longer, I will become stronger. When that time comes, I will go out and crush all those annoying little bugs. Who will remember anything about Melba then?
It thought to itself with a smug smile, and patted the rock wall next to it with its tail in contentment.
Hey?
Something is wrong!
Golza's ears suddenly perked up, and his nose twitched.
Why is there a familiar fluctuation?!
No! No, no, no!
The fluctuation came from above, very light and steady, with a rhythm that sent chills down its spine.
It wasn't the aura of a monster, nor the aura of an alien, nor even the warm light of Ultraman.
It's...it's murderous intent.
Pure, undisguised, murderous intent like a knife to the throat.
Golza's scales stood up with a whooshing sound, and the lava trembled three times.
It suddenly raised its head, its huge eyes wide open, staring intently at the rock formations above.
Seemingly sensing something, Enhanced Golza suddenly had a very ominous premonition!
It felt like... like being targeted by some terrifying two-legged creature on the ground.
That thing was so small, yet it exuded an aura more ferocious than Golza. Looking at it was not like looking at a monster, but like looking at a plate of meat that had already been cut and arranged.
"No way……"
A gurgling sound came from Golza's throat, and its huge body involuntarily shrank deeper into the lava.
"They won't catch up, will they...?"
"Shouldn't that guy be up there chatting with those pretty girls...?"
A faint, subtle vibration could be felt from the rock strata above.
Footsteps.
It was very light, but every step felt like stepping on Golza's heart.
There were also voices, though the content was unclear, but the tone was... as calm as if they were discussing what to eat today.
Golza remembered that tone of voice.
It was after this tone of voice that Melba was blown to smithereens.
"Melba...brother...I'm so sorry..."
Golza buried his head in the lava, leaving only his eyes visible, staring intently at the top of his head.
The ominous premonition grew stronger.
The fluctuations are getting closer.
Golza held his breath, not even daring to inhale the lava.
It only wants to do one thing right now—
Playing dead.
Disguise it as an ordinary stone.
A lifeless, worthless stone that would absolutely not interest that two-legged creature.
"You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me..."
Its claws gripped the rock layer tightly, and even its tail was frozen in place.
Above, Cui Ming's footsteps paused for a moment.
"Instructor, what's wrong?"
Daigo's voice came through.
"..."
Cui Ming stood atop the rock formation, tapping his holster lightly with his fingers, his gaze sweeping over a seemingly ordinary rock formation beneath his feet.
"fine."
The corners of his mouth curved into a smile.
"It seems... something is afraid of us."
Choi Myung and Daigo have arrived.
Golza pulled his head out of the lava, cautiously poking it out, his two huge eyes glancing upwards.
Then it saw that figure.
Cui Ming stood at the edge of the rock formation, the beam of his headlamp shining directly on Golza's face, making his enhanced scales gleam.
Behind Choi Myung, Daigo's headlamp was also lit. Although he didn't speak, the aura of a giant of light pressed down like a mountain.
Upon seeing Cui Ming, Golza had only one thought: It's over...
it's over...
Nexus!!!
Although the light surrounding that creature was suppressed, Golza's senses didn't lie. That cold, silvery-white aura, seemingly capable of burning all evil to ashes, was exactly the same feeling he had experienced when it flashed across the ground before.
What's worse, the human boy following them also had a familiar scent.
Ultraman Tiga!!!
One Ultraman Tiga, one Nexus, how the hell am I supposed to fight them?!
Golza's legs began to tremble; though it didn't have legs, the base of its tail was definitely shaking. It was now filled with regret. If only it hadn't sold Melba, if only it had dug another 500 meters, if only…
"Stop pretending to be dead."
Cui Ming's voice came from above, as calm as if he were greeting a neighbor.
"The lava is bubbling up, you must be having a hard time holding your breath, right?"
Golza: "..."
What can Golza do? He can only open his eyes and look silly.
It blinked its huge eyes, grinned, and gave a憨厚 (honest and simple) expression, as if saying, "Who are you? I don't know you." It even tried to scratch the back of its head with its paw, but ended up tearing a piece of rock off with one paw.
I have no choice but to play dumb!
There's also Ultraman Tiga next to TM!
All it wants now is to disguise itself as a harmless, stupid monster with low intelligence, even worse than Melba, hoping that these two big shots will just let it go like a fart.
Cui Ming's lips twitched as he looked at its demeanor.
"His acting was pretty bad."
He took two steps forward, his boots crunching on the gravel. Each step made Golza's heart skip a beat.
Golza roared internally: Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! I'm not tasty! I'm thick-skinned! I don't bathe for years! I smell like lava!
"Instructor, it seems... afraid of you?" Daigo whispered from behind, his tone full of disbelief.
Golza, a powerful monster that reigns supreme underground, is actually this afraid?
"Being afraid is the right thing to do."
Something appeared in Cui Ming's hand.
It was a short, jet-black stick with a cold metallic sheen, inlaid with dark red crystals at both ends. When held in the hand, faint arcs of electricity flickered.
Gigabit Fighting Device.
Golza's eyes widened even more.
It didn't recognize the thing, but its instincts told it that it could kill it, or... take it away.
Cui Ming approached the enhanced Golza, casually handing over the Giga Combat Device as if offering a cigarette.
"Come in."
Golza: "..."
It glanced at Cui Ming, then at Daigo behind Cui Ming, who, though not transformed, had already silently assumed a fighting stance.
Ultraman Tiga was staring at it.
Nexus was staring at it.
If it dares to say "no," the next second it might unleash a double attack of the Metallium Ray and the Zepelion Ray, turning it into a pile of charred remains underground.
Golza swallowed a mouthful of lava.
Then it nodded frantically.
okay!
It even proactively nudged its head closer, as if afraid that Cui Ming would change his mind. Its eagerness was a stark contrast to its foolish act of pretending to be stupid just now.
The crystal at the top of the Giga Battle Device lit up red, and a beam of light enveloped Golza's massive body. Within the light, Golza's figure rapidly shrank, finally transforming into a streak of light and being absorbed into the Battle Device.
The rock formations returned to stillness.
Only the lava was still bubbling away.
Cui Ming weighed the Giga melee device in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.
"knock off."
Daigo stood behind him with his mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.
"Instructor... is that all?"
"Otherwise what?" Cui Ming stuffed the fighting device back into his backpack and dusted off his hands. "Fight it? No need, it's very obedient."
"But it's a monster..."
"Now it's my monster."
Cui Ming turned and walked out of the mine, the beam of his headlamp casting an arc on the rock wall.
"Let's go, go back."
Daigo was somewhat surprised; the instructor seemed quite pleased.
Daigo followed in a daze, glancing back at the empty lava pool.
With this, Cui Ming has subdued the enhanced Golza!!! (End of Chapter)
