Chapter 366 The Pressure That Was Ignited!
There was no pause button, and no instruction manual.
This gift, kindly sent by aliens, has become an unsolvable Pandora's box in the fast-paced, high-intensity modern society of 2030.
The scene shifts back to the city center.
The bronze statue, which was originally only three meters tall, now floats above the bustling intersection.
In the metropolis of 2030, everyone is struggling to make a living. High prices, heavy workloads, and complicated interpersonal relationships create invisible pressure that transforms into wisps of negative energy, continuously flowing into the bronze statue.
"Buzz—"
With a muffled rumble, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the bronze statue.
The once "cute" face has become grotesque and terrifying.
A blinding blue-white light burst forth from the crack, dazzling and spectacular.
Immediately afterwards, to the astonishment of viewers across the internet, the bronze statue began to inflate wildly, like a balloon being blown up!
Ten meters! Thirty meters! Fifty meters!
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying behemoth, 57 meters tall and weighing 63,000 tons, crashed down in the heart of the bustling city.
It retains the original outline of the bronze statue, but the face has been completely distorted into an angry and ferocious appearance.
Geshult, the god of wrath, has gone completely berserk!
[Pressure! (Pigeon cooing)]
[It turned into a giant monster?!]
I knew this stuff would explode if you inhaled too much of it.
How much resentment from modern working people must it have absorbed to grow this big?
[Humans on Earth in 2030 may lack many things, but they'll have plenty of pressure!]
【Master Gao, come quick to save the day!】
The barrage of comments exploded instantly, and the rapid pace of the plot kept everyone on edge.
However, to everyone's surprise, the gigantic Geshutter did not start by wreaking havoc on skyscrapers like traditional monsters.
Its eyes, gleaming with a blue-white light, were fixed on the crowd below who were fleeing in a frenzy.
Geshutter's eyes widened as clusters of eerie blue orbs gathered within them, then, like a meteor shower, indiscriminately bombarded the dense crowd on the ground!
"Boom boom boom!"
The blue orb of light landed in the crowd, transforming into eerie ripples that instantly pierced through people's bodies.
Those who contracted the virus did not die, but their condition was worse than death.
A well-dressed office worker was hit by the ball of light, and immediately dropped his briefcase, clutching his stomach and rolling around on the ground in agony.
Two drivers who were just arguing over a minor collision suddenly had their eyes bloodshot after being hit by the blue light. They pulled out wrenches from their cars and started smashing each other like mad beasts.
Pedestrians on the street began smashing shop windows frantically, screaming hysterically.
The entire city instantly transformed into a living hell filled with violence and madness.
Inside the command center, alarms blared throughout the sky.
Tu Jing stared at the wildly fluctuating data on the big screen, his face pale and his forehead covered in cold sweat.
"Those blue orbs of light... are the crystallization of pressure!"
Tu Jing loudly reported to the leader, "Geishut has transformed all the immense pressure he absorbed into stress response energy, returning it to humanity many times over! Those struck will be tormented by endless pressure, and their inner turmoil will be amplified to the extreme!"
At this moment, Captain Qingguang and Fengchui were piloting their fighter jets toward the battlefield.
Qingguang frowned deeply: "It wants humanity to self-destruct in madness!"
This is more chilling than mere physical destruction.
"Captain, how should we counterattack?!" Feng Chui asked anxiously.
Captain Qingguang took a deep breath, suppressing his inner anxiety, and decisively ordered: "Switch to orange level! Absolutely no attacks are permitted until the citizens have completed their evacuation! Since it grows stronger under pressure, our attacks might just become its fuel!"
"But……"
"Execute the command!"
Meanwhile, in the skies above the city.
The two piloted their fighter jets, circling overhead.
But Feng Chui was already feeling very irritable due to the frequent tasks and trivial matters recently. Now, looking at the city below in chaos, his anger was even more difficult to suppress.
"What a joke! When are we going to get to this point?!" Feng Chui gritted his teeth in the cockpit.
Just then, Geshutter seemed to sense the fighter jet in the sky, and suddenly looked up as a thick blue pressure sphere shot into the sky.
"Danger!"
The wind blew and the control lever was pulled sharply, but it was too late.
The blue orb of light hit him squarely, and a portion of the pressure energy instantly surged into the cockpit, directly penetrating Feng Chui's body.
In an instant, the wind made his eyes bloodshot, and the string of reason snapped completely.
"Wind blows! Retreat immediately!" Captain Qingguang's anxious voice rang out through the communicator.
"Shut up! Shut up! All of you shut up!" Wind Blows like a raging lion, roaring hysterically through the comms channel, "I'm going to blow this bastard to pieces! Attack! I'm attacking!"
Having lost his mind, Feng Chui completely disobeyed orders and abruptly pressed the weapon fire button.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Several high-explosive missiles, trailing long plumes of flame, bombarded Geschott without reservation.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion ripped through Geshert's body.
But just as Captain Sunlight had predicted, these attacks not only failed to cause any real damage to Geshutter, but the energy generated by the explosions was completely absorbed by it.
Geshutter's size swelled up again, and the speed at which he spewed out pressure orbs became even more insane!
[Oh no! Windblown Bro's temperature has turned red!]
The physical defenses haven't broken through yet, but the mental defenses have collapsed first.
[Case solved! This bronze statue is a masochist; it provoked others to attack itself.]
[666, and he's a masochist too]
On the ground, Chunwuzang, who was in charge of evacuating the crowd, looked at the wind blowing out of control in the sky and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.
This can't go on any longer.
After Musashi ran to an empty ruin, he pulled out the Radiant Stone from his pocket.
"Gauss!"
A dazzling light shot into the sky.
With a tremendous roar, the azure giant of light, like a savior, descended upon the city that had descended into madness.
However, Gauss had barely gained his footing and hadn't even had a chance to strike a tai chi pose against Geishut when a fighter jet in the sky crashed straight into him!
"Attack! Attack!"
Gauss looked up in surprise and saw Feng Chui piloting a fighter jet, charging madly toward him.
"Don't get in my way! I'll take you down too!" Feng Chui had completely lost his mind and made Gauss his target for venting his stress as well.
【? ? ? ? 】
[A painful blow to my teammate]
Did the wind make Gauss think it was a twin tower?
[Ace pilot.]
Facing the raging wind, Gauss slightly raised his head, opened his hands, and an incomparably pure and gentle blue lunar energy rapidly condensed in his palms.
Luna's Flash!
A warm beam of light, like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, swept across the fighter jets in the sky in an instant.
Under the pure light of loving compassion, the restless, stressful energy within Feng Chui's body was instantly purified.
Inside the fighter jet, the wind quickly cleared the bloodshot in Feng Chu's eyes.
He gasped for breath, his body drenched in cold sweat. Looking down at the city and Gauss, he recalled his crazy actions and his eyes were filled with fear and guilt.
Having successfully awakened his teammates, Gauss turned around to face the enormous, wrathful god.
When Gesher saw Gauss, it was as if he had found the perfect target for his venting.
A series of dense blue pressure orbs bombarded Gauss like a storm.
Faced with this overwhelming attack, Gauss's next move left all the audience wide-eyed.
He neither dodged nor avoided it!
Gauss stood quietly in place, his chest open, letting the blue pressure orbs bombard him one after another.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The ball of light struck Gauss's azure body, transforming into ripples of energy that merged into his body.
Gauss knelt painfully on the ground, his chest heaving violently, but he still held on tightly. Instead of falling, he opened his arms and absorbed the pressure energy released by Geshet even more frantically.
What is Master Gao doing?! Why doesn't he dodge?
Is it stuck? They're just toughing it out!
What is the pressure that Ultraman faces?
Whether Ultraman feels any pressure is unknown, but it's quite obvious that Cosmos is about to reach red temperature.
This is the fact.
Under "immense pressure".
"Buzz—!"
Accompanied by a burst of intense light, Gauss's azure body was instantly covered in dazzling red and silver colors!
Corona Mode, making a thunderous debut!
However, Gesher was like a tireless launcher, frantically pouring out the pressure within him.
Gauss, on the other hand, became a giant container, taking in all these negative emotions that were enough to drive humans mad.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Geshutter's speed of releasing light spheres is getting slower and slower. The pressure stored in its body is being rapidly depleted, and its originally huge and solid body is beginning to show signs of shrinking.
It's now!
Gauss not only absorbed all the pressure energy, but also amplified and compressed this enormous energy several times over within his body at this moment!
Gauss quickly crossed his arms in front of his chest and then pushed forward forcefully.
Super Reversal Attack!
A colossal energy sphere, dozens of times larger than the one launched by Geshute and shimmering with a blinding red light, slammed into Geshute's chest with overwhelming force!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Geshutter was utterly unable to withstand the immense energy amplified several times over. It let out a piercing scream, and its massive body exploded in a blinding flash of light.
Countless specks of light drifted across the sky.
When the light faded, only a small bronze statue remained on the ground, its original peaceful expression restored.
The battle ended, and Gauss turned into specks of light in the afterglow of the setting sun, disappearing into the horizon.
At the end of the scene, the members of the elite youth team put the bronze statue back into the completely soundproof one-way glass case.
With the roar of the helicopter, this Pandora's box, burdened with a weight too heavy for humans to bear, was buried deep underground.
Tsuchikage looked at Yoshii beside him, and the two smiled at each other, everything understood without words.
The scene freezes, and the end credits song begins to play softly.
The fourth episode of Ultraman Cosmos has ended!
But the online frenzy has only just begun.
If the previous episodes of Gauss showed the possibility of monsters and humans coexisting peacefully, then in this episode, Gu Nan uses an almost dark humor approach to brutally expose the pain points of modern society to all viewers.
At first, I thought it was a funny episode, but after watching it, I realized it actually had a deeper meaning.
[It's terrifying to think about! People from thousands of years ago knew that pressure shouldn't be absorbed through external means, or it would inevitably backfire. Yet we modern people are still desperately searching for outlets.]
The more you try to avoid stress, the more terrifying it will be when it finally erupts.
No matter how much pressure you're under, you shouldn't harm others. The monster being killed by the pressure rebounded from Gauss is the best metaphor!
