Chapter 392 The Embers of the Corona, Sinking into the Abyss
Ultraman Cosmos arrives with a roar at this desperate moment!
Gauss was steadily supporting the fighter jet that had completely lost power.
"Gauss caught Unit 3!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Gauss nodded slightly, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a fragile work of art.
Unit 3 was placed securely in a safe area far from the battlefield.
Then, he slowly turned around, his milky-white eyes locking onto the colossal beast in front of him, which was roaring incessantly due to pain and madness—Elgar.
Faced with this native Earth monster, which is gentle by nature but whose mind has been forcibly distorted by external forces, Gauss's starting move is still the familiar Luna form.
He did not adopt an aggressive stance, but instead lowered his center of gravity slightly, drawing a smooth arc with his hands in front of his chest, with soft blue halos rippled from his fingertips.
Gauss knew perfectly well that Eligar's current rage was not intentional; he was a victim.
Without any hesitation, Gauss pushed his hands forward horizontally.
A pure, flawless beam of light, filled with soothing and purifying power, burst forth from his palm.
It precisely enveloped Eligar's massive body.
This is a purification skill in Luna form specifically designed to target controlled monsters—Luna Drain!
In past battles, whenever this light appeared, the Chaos virus attached to the monster's body would be forcibly stripped away like snow meeting the scorching sun.
However, this time, the scene that appeared on the screen made everyone gasp.
Instead of calming down under the purifying light, Eligar let out an even more piercing scream.
Inside its body, the colorful light, like a maggot clinging to a bone, began to flicker wildly, actually resisting Gauss's light in the opposite direction!
The light of purification shattered and dissipated on the monster's body.
"No... we can't isolate the Chaos virus!"
Tu Jing was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair. He frantically typed on the keyboard, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.
"How could this happen...why?"
"Has it evolved?!"
"Could it be that they've evolved, these light particle viruses!"
The live chat was instantly filled with comments of terror:
Darwin tells us that natural selection and survival of the fittest apply; viruses have evolved!
The Chaos Virus has been patched! They've adapted to Gauss's purification abilities!
[Virus: Master Gao, how can I afford to be at a disadvantage every day?]
On the battlefield, the Chaos virus, realizing that Gauss was trying to detach himself from it, went completely berserk.
It completely took over control of Eligar's body.
The raging behemoth let out a deafening roar, and with heavy strides, like a runaway heavy tank, it charged madly toward Gauss.
Gauss tried to dodge, but Eligar's mutated speed exceeded his expectations.
The giant beast's thick arm slammed into Gauss's chest, sending up a burst of blinding sparks.
Under the control of the virus, Eligar abandoned all reason and launched the most primitive and brutal attack, like a wild beast.
It opened its blood-red maw and frantically tore at Gauss's arm, its sharp claws leaving deep marks on Gauss's body.
Gauss began to be thoroughly humiliated by Eligar.
Gauss writhed in agony amidst the muddy ruins.
Because of concerns about the monster's life, Gauss, in his Luna form, dared not launch a fatal counterattack and could only passively defend.
Several mutated dissolving gases bombarded Gauss at close range, sending up corrosive white smoke.
In this brutal situation of being attacked unilaterally, the timer has started flashing.
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"
A rapid, faint alarm from a color timer.
Inside the space of light within Gauss's body, Musashi clenched his teeth tightly, his fists clenched so hard that his nails dug into his flesh.
Through Gauss's gaze, he looked at the monster outside, suffering excruciating headaches and reduced to a viral puppet, and then at Gauss's constantly flashing red light. An unprecedented sense of powerlessness and anxiety gnawed at his heart like a venomous snake.
He recalled the reporters' difficult questions during the interview today, the tough stance of the defense forces, and the oath he had taken.
"Power... is necessary to protect the monsters!"
Musashi's eyes were bloodshot from the extreme emotional turmoil.
At this moment, he completely abandoned the captain's teachings on "gentleness," and his heart, yearning for power, took absolute control.
As Musashi roared in anguish, the flashing red light on Gauss's chest suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of intense energy, like a volcanic eruption, exploded from Gauss's body!
The originally soft azure light was instantly engulfed by a raging crimson and dazzling silver. "Switch to Corona Mode!"
As the light faded, the warrior, a symbol of absolute power, whose body was covered in interwoven red and silver battle patterns, slowly straightened up amidst the flames and smoke.
Corona Gauss, descend!
The ensuing battle scenes delivered a chilling visual experience to all the viewers watching on their screens.
The camera seemed to come alive, hovering directly over the gravel-strewn ground, pointing at the two confronting giant beasts at an extremely exaggerated low angle.
"Bang!"
The corona Gaussian moved.
He didn't use any light-based skills to test the waters; instead, he pushed off with both legs, and the concrete ground beneath his feet instantly collapsed.
Its massive body transformed into a streak of red lightning, directly piercing into Eligar's inner circle.
Overpower Eligar in melee combat!
Gauss's movements were swift and decisive.
He forcefully parried the monster's claws with his left arm, and then delivered a powerful right hook that slammed into Eligar's jaw.
A muffled sonic boom resounded, and the monster, weighing tens of thousands of tons, was knocked off its feet by this punch.
But the attack is far from over!
As Eligar attempted to retaliate, Gauss quickly lowered his center of gravity and delivered a perfect Muay Thai-style neck choke, locking the monster's head firmly with both hands.
Immediately afterwards, the knee, flashing with a blinding red light, slammed into the monster's most vulnerable abdominal armor three times in a row, like a battering ram!
With each impact, the camera vibrates violently, conveying the terrifying power and speed of each punch to everyone watching.
The sky filled with mud and sand, and the flying sparks, combined with the high-speed and frequent camera work, created a violent aesthetic that was thrilling and arousing.
The comments section went completely wild at that moment:
Master Gao has gone berserk!
[A painful blow to a teammate who is currently ill.]
This indicates a virus has taken control of the brain; it's practically a zombie infection.
The fight scenes are still top-notch, absolutely phenomenal!
Under the pure hand-to-hand combat, Eligar, who was controlled by the virus, completely lost the ability to resist and was beaten back step by step until he collapsed to the ground.
Seeing the monster that was now powerless to fight back, Musashi knew that this was his last chance.
His eyes, hardened by an excessive pursuit of power, gleamed with a resolute determination that disregarded everything else.
"If we unleash the maximum output of the Corona Purification, we can definitely isolate the Chaos Virus!"
Corona Gauss rapidly crossed his hands in front of him, and violent red energy gathered wildly between his arms.
Even the surrounding air was violently distorted by this enormous energy.
He held nothing back and went straight for "maximum power corona extraction"!
A thick, almost tangible golden beam of light struck Eligar's body.
"Hiss hiss hiss—!"
Under the forced infusion of maximum power energy, the Chaos virus residing within the monster emitted a mournful resonance.
Unable to resist this absolute power any longer, it "completely and forcibly separated the Chaos virus from Eligar's body!"
A huge ball of colorful light was forcibly torn out of the monster's body and flung into the air.
Seeing this, Feng Chui, piloting a fighter jet in the sky, excitedly pumped his fist and shouted:
"Defeat the Chaos Virus!"
The crew of the fighter jet all showed relieved smiles.
Musashi's aggressive tactics seem to have truly achieved perfect success.
The colorful sphere of light that had been detached into mid-air writhed violently.
The separated Chaos Virus quickly materialized after stealing Eligar's life energy.
Chaos copied Eligar's body and mutated into Chaos Eligar!
A terrifying replica of a creature, 56 meters tall and weighing 60,000 tons, stood prominently on the earth.
It has a similar appearance to Eligar, but its body is covered with dark red chaotic patterns, its eyes flash with a bloodthirsty cold light, and its hands have turned into two sharp scythes!
The aura it exudes is several times more terrifying than its true form!
This monster, composed entirely of malice and viruses, let out a chilling roar and engaged Gauss in battle.
But at this moment, Corona Gauss was at the absolute peak of his power. The rage in Musashi's heart transformed him into a ruthless war god.
How could a mere copy of a monster be a match for Corona Gauss?
Faced with the destructive beam of light spewed by Chaos Eligar, Corona Gauss simply erected a blazing barrier of sunlight with one hand, effortlessly neutralizing the attack.
Immediately afterwards, Gauss combined his hands, compressing the violent red and silver energy to its extreme in an instant.
Without the slightest hesitation, a destructive beam of light, powerful enough to incinerate everything, roared out!
"BOOM—!!!"
In the deafening series of explosions, Chaos Eligar's massive body was "completely destroyed by the thermal shockwave used by Gauss."
It turned into ashes that filled the sky, leaving not a trace behind.
The battle is over.
The thick, dark clouds in the sky were torn apart by the shockwave of the explosion, and a sliver of the setting sun, like blood, was splashed across the devastated ruins.
However, fate always seems to show its most vicious side when humanity is at its most hopeful.
At this moment, Captain Qingguang was stunned.
"Wait...look at Eligar, it..."
The camera slowly pans down and focuses on the native Earth monster that Gauss forcibly rescued.
At this moment, Eligar lay quietly in the cold soil, his massive body motionless.
Although the gas monster Eligar was freed, its body suffered a huge backlash when it separated from the Chaos Virus.
Musashi's reckless and forceful coronal extraction, while successfully removing the virus, also completely destroyed the already fragile physiological functions within the monster's body.
Moreover, before leaving the body, the virus cruelly steals away its last bit of life energy.
The energy it separated was too powerful, causing it to collapse to the ground, exhausted, after the Chaos Virus was destroyed.
It died silently, without making a sound, amidst intense pain and exhaustion.
Those once gentle eyes were now dull and lifeless, staring blankly at the sunset stained with blood.
The battlefield was deathly silent.
Ultraman Cosmos's massive and imposing corona-like body now appeared so stiff and helpless.
He slowly walked to Eligar's body.
Under the setting sun.
The giant of light, a blend of azure and crimson, held the cold monster tightly in his arms.
His hands were trembling slightly, a tremor that came from the depths of his soul.
Gauss lowered his head, bathed in the blood-red setting sun, the whole scene exuding a suffocating sense of desolation and sorrow.
Within the space of light, Musashi completely collapsed.
He stared blankly at his slightly trembling hands, tears instantly blurring his vision.
He originally thought that as long as he had enough power, he could cut off all obstacles and perfectly protect these innocent lives.
But now, the monster that died because of his recklessness and obsession lies coldly before my eyes.
"Why...why, Gauss..."
Musashi's voice was hoarse and broken, filled with endless regret and despair.
He clutched his head tightly with both hands, and desperate sobs escaped through his fingers.
The captain's teachings echoed wildly in his mind like a spell.
"Should I be so eager for power...?"
Will power replace gentleness...?
He raised his head in despair, uttering a heart-wrenching question to the void: "Answer me, Gauss... Gauss..."
But all he received in response was a deathly silence.
The Giant of Light remained silent; only an endless sense of desolation permeated the air.
Musashi was thus shrouded in a shadow.
He abandoned his gentleness to protect others, making himself stronger, but in the end, he protected nothing...
His tough stance not only failed to bring about redemption, but also...
Instead, the monster that should have been living a good life lost its life...
As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility…
I never expected it to end like this…
This isn't entirely your fault...
[That old scoundrel Gu Nan has struck again! I'll stab you! I'll stab you! I'll stab you!]
Don't panic, the progress bar is only 1/3 full!
