Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

"But...we don't have much time left," Shinji reminded him.

"I know."

"So, there's a second stage!" Natsuki didn't seem to care.

Removing the Ultra Barrier, hovering above the earth, and looking down at the Super Gob below the pit, it raised its arm amidst the destructive gaze of the Super Gob.

"Boom!!!"

A Specium Ray burst forth from the side of the giant's hand, striking Super Gob vertically!

"Hiss!" Super Gob continued to block with his strong body, while firing a destructive beam in an attempt to knock the giant down.

However, it soon discovered the anomaly.

After releasing the light, the giant's figure became smaller and smaller. It wasn't that the giant's size shrank, but rather that he was using the recoil of the light to fly backwards out of the atmosphere!

Breaking the sound barrier with its speed, it maintained the output of light in the final moments, causing Super Gob to sink deeper underground while it flew into the distant sky.

Clouds flashed past in my peripheral vision, breaking through the atmosphere and reaching space, where the blue planet came into view.

【0: 05】

【0: 03】

【0: 02】

The blazing sun was right behind us, the timer was still flashing red, but the time limit for the event... had disappeared.

Chapter 157 The outcome is decided!

"The monster has sunk a thousand meters underground, and the giant is accelerating through the atmosphere to reach Earth's satellite orbit!"

In the NERV German branch headquarters, the technicians who had been monitoring the battle reported the news with expressions of disbelief.

"Calories cannot be estimated!"

"The cavity located one thousand meters underground in the Second New Tokyo City continues to descend! Two thousand meters... three thousand meters... five thousand meters!"

"A magnitude 9 earthquake is imminent! Molten minerals are churning upwards, and magma is erupting!"

The Specium Ray, with temperatures exceeding 500,000 degrees Celsius, is continuously radiating heat from Earth's satellite orbit into the Earth's interior, causing catastrophic damage to the Earth's internal environment.

Ultraman's telekinesis can bind light beams that are close by, preventing their heat from spreading, but it cannot control light beams that are too far away.

Looking up from the ground, it's as if a blue beam of light pierces through the sky, impacting and sweeping through the clouds to form ring-shaped remnants, with intense heat radiating from between the beams.

The most severely damaged area is the massive sinkhole in the center of the city ruins, which has a diameter of 15 kilometers and extends to a depth of 5,000 meters. The interior of this sinkhole is a complete hell on earth.

Apart from the melting lava at the edges, the minerals closest to the light vaporize within a second and then ionize together with the air to form a plasma fireball.

The impact of the light suppressed the eruption of the inferno below, preventing the outer lava from completely destroying the surface of this area.

"Arrived at the designated location!"

"Hurry! Deploy the protective barriers!"

A large number of NERV transport planes arrived near Tokyo-2 and caught up with the evacuation convoy. At Misato Katsuragi's anxious command, protective panels with excellent heat insulation properties were dropped.

"Boom boom boom!"

Before the residual heat of the Specium Ray could reach this area, the wall-like protective barrier blocked the deadly heat wave!

“Gendo Ikari...is this your trump card?” Speaker Kiro’s face turned ashen as he watched the actions of the NERFV headquarters personnel through the screen, his fists clenching unconsciously.

He couldn't understand why such a powerful giant would help Gendo Ikari and his group.

Moreover, the scale of this battle... is completely beyond human capabilities. He couldn't help but imagine that if this battle continued, human civilization would soon be wiped off the face of the earth.

The giant clearly wasn't fighting at full strength; from the various details beforehand, he could tell that the giant was intentionally protecting humanity.

Despite fighting with his hands tied, he still displayed such destructive power... Just what level of life is this?

After witnessing the battle firsthand, he realized that their Human Instrumentality Project was a complete joke.

Even if you could become a god, so what?

Even apostles with powerful AT fields, once caught up in this battle, were captured by both sides and used as weapons.

Just as a human can casually step on a spider to kill it, it is equally easy for giants and monsters to crush a rain angel.

“The Dead Sea Scrolls...Adam...Lilith...Spear of Longinus...Tree of Life...EVA...Hmph...Hmph haha ​​...

Absurd, ridiculous.

Both their pursuits and everything that is happening before our eyes are so laughable.

This harsh reality dealt a severe blow to their pride.

At that moment, he understood why Zoo Jefferson had called their plan "playing house" before disappearing.

He finally understood that everything they had planned, whether in front of giants or monsters, had the same effect as an adult watching a group of babies trying their best to roll around on the ground.

"That's... ridiculous..."

The staff at the NERV branch in Germany were puzzled when they heard the old man laughing loudly, but after exchanging glances, no one spoke.

......

Deep underground, Super Gob, continuously bombarded by the Specium Ray, let out an angry roar.

Even with its strong defenses, it was still just a cosmic combat beast. After the previous battles and withstanding the Specium Ray for so long, it finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Its sturdy arm and scythe shattered, and blue light baptized its body. In this red purgatory, it, which came with a mission of destruction, was ultimately buried here.

"Click—click!"

The body could no longer withstand any more energy and began to swell. The tough skin began to crack, and it looked as if it was about to explode from all the energy it had absorbed!

"Oh no, Mr. Natsuki!"

"The impact of its explosion will destroy the entire country!" Shinji sensed the intense energy that was about to explode.

"I know!"

"So, the toughest battle is yet to come!" Natsuki had anticipated this outcome.

Protecting is always harder than destroying.

The Specium light dissipated, his arms crossed in front of his chest, and the reddish timer crystal burst forth with a dazzling light.

"The giant has disappeared from Earth's satellite orbit!" a technician from the German NERV branch reported after seeing the satellite image.

In just a moment, the giant vanished!

"Inside the Earth!"

“Five thousand meters underground!” another technician monitoring the monster’s condition reported.

"Instant teleportation... Even something like that exists." Speaker Kiru leaned back in his chair, no longer wanting to pay attention to any of this.

......

"What a troublesome bastard."

The giant teleported to a depth of 5,000 meters underground and immediately used Ultra Telekinesis to control Super Gob's body to shrink.

This could not stop the deadly explosion, and the giant's movements did not stop in the slightest.

With both hands pushing forward, the semi-transparent Ultra Barrier changed shape and enveloped Super Gob's body, forming a spherical cage.

"Jingle, jingle, jingle!"

The timer crystal on his chest started flashing wildly again.

Boom!!!

The Ultra Barrier exploded, unleashing a burst of dazzling flames and fragments of its body. The Ultra Barrier withstood the first wave of impact, but it quickly shattered completely.

The nearest giant was instantly thrown upwards by the subsequent impact, which spread throughout the crimson inferno, about to create a devastating earthquake through the rock strata.

"This is the last one, Shinji, give it your all!"

As the giant flew backward, it unleashed its Ultra Telekinesis once more, penetrating the rock strata and frantically trying to stop the spread of the impact and prevent the earthquake.

"Boom!"

The earth trembled violently, and the people on the ground felt the arrival of this deadly natural disaster.

Citizens huddled inside the carriages couldn't help but clasp their hands together and pray to the sky; some had completely broken down.

"Is it going to be destroyed...? We... and this world..."

"It's over, this time it's really... Waaaaah!"

The transport trucks jolted violently, and the convoy was out of control, with one truck after another colliding before finally coming to a stop on a road not far from the city.

The people inside the carriage looked out and saw that all the buildings in the city behind them were shaking. They had already been affected by the fighting and were now completely collapsing.

Hundreds of stories high, exquisite buildings collapsed like dominoes at this moment, as if it were the end of the world.

"Stop it!!" Shinji screamed hysterically.

Returning to Earth's interior, both Natsuki and Shinji were pushing themselves to their limits, but it was during this time that Shinji's potential was fully unleashed.

The powerful spirit accumulated from countless reincarnations is concentrated in this moment!

Chapter 158 The Truth Is Getting Closer

Ultraman's telekinesis instantly caught up with the impact of the earthquake and smoothed it out.

Soon, the violent shaking of the entire earth gradually subsided.

"Stop...it's stopped?"

"We're saved..."

The citizens who were evacuating from the convoy, clutching their heads and gripping the railings, noticed the shaking stop and, after a while, came to their senses and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This arduous evacuation experience will forever be etched in their memories.

Meanwhile, in the ruins of the city, within a massive sinkhole.

A huge figure was also thrown out by the impact, its body turning into scattered specks of light, while the boy in the white shirt fell to the ground from mid-air.
