Chapter 20 Magnia
Chapter 20 Magnia
Next up is the parasitic monster Magnia. Magnia arrived on Earth with a strange meteorite. This meteorite is the source of Magnia's energy, and also its weakness. The meteorite's strength can only be broken by extremely powerful firepower; once the meteorite is destroyed, Magnia will lose its power.
Magnia can also transform into a thick fog, within which many small parasites hide to hunt. However, once transformed into fog, she becomes afraid of water.
It started at the space observation center, parasitizing everyone, and then spread to nearby villages. It can control those it parasitizes and absorb their biological energy to become stronger and heal its injuries.
Due to the loss of contact with the space observation center, Yang Guang and Horii set off to investigate. However, their plane malfunctioned and made an emergency landing en route due to heavy fog.
The next day, Yang Guang went outside to investigate and discovered that there was a strong magnetic field outside, making it impossible to contact the outside world. So Yang Guang and Horii rode their motorcycles to the Space Observation Center.
However, the two may have gotten lost; they didn't see the space observation center, but they did discover a village.
The two searched the village but found no one there. Strangely, some taps were left running, and some people had only eaten half their meals, as if they had suddenly left.
At this moment, a woman in yellow rushed out and collapsed in front of the two men. Yang Guang and Jue Jing could only carry the woman in yellow back to the house to take care of her.
That evening, the woman in yellow woke up. The two men began to question her about her condition.
The woman's name was Ezaki Chizuru, the daughter of Dr. Ezaki. She was on her way to the space observation center. However, when she passed through this area, a thick fog appeared. So she started to run away, and finally jumped into the water to escape.
At this moment, Horii went outside and saw that the villagers had all returned. He greeted them, but no one answered him. Horii sensed something was wrong and observed them closely, discovering that each villager had something like a fleshy growth on their neck. They were carrying kitchen knives, hoes, sticks, sickles, and other tools.
Suddenly the villagers rushed towards him, and Horii immediately hid in the room and closed the door with Yang Guang.
The villagers started hacking at the door, creating a gap that allowed the thick fog to drift in.
The three had no choice but to flee outside, but the thick fog followed them. The two discovered many small parasites within the fog. They fired at the parasites, but there were simply too many to eliminate. The three had no choice but to continue their escape.
After running for a while, they finally escaped the thick fog and the three of them took shelter in a cave to rest.
The two speculated that the villagers' condition was likely caused by the meteorite. They decided that Yang Guang would contact headquarters the next day, while Horii would accompany Ezaki Chizuru to the Space Observation Center.
The next day, the three split up, and at that moment, a thick fog descended once more.
During their escape, Horii and Chizuru noticed something glowing and went to investigate. They discovered it was a meteorite, and saw a large crowd gathered around it, the meteorite seemingly absorbing their energy.
At this moment, the smaller parasite discovered Horii and his companion and began to pursue them. Eventually, they escaped to the Space Observation Center.
The two searched the area but found no one there, presumably because it had been attacked by a monster!
At this moment, thick fog seeped in through the ventilation openings, and the two continued their escape. During the escape, Horii was infected by the fog and grew a parasite. With unwavering determination, Horii managed to pluck the parasite out with his bare hands!
I never expected this fat guy to have such a strong will!
As expected of the GUTS team, every member is an elite of humanity!
Horii fired a shot that hit the sprinkler system, preventing the parasite from passing through and giving the two a chance to catch their breath.
Just then, an earthquake struck outside, and the two ran out to investigate. It turned out that the rest of the Victory Team had driven their underground tanks down from underground.
Horii was overjoyed to see his teammates arrive.
"Is Yang Guang with you?" Zong Fang asked.
"No, he went down the mountain."
Horii then told everyone that the glowing meteorite was the energy source of the fog and urged them to go and destroy it.
Just as everyone was preparing to drive the burrowing tanks to attack, a thick fog began to gather, forming the monster Magnia.
Magnia stands at an astonishing 66 meters tall and weighs 58,000 tons. Upon its appearance, it can spew an electrified mist from its mouth, rendering burrowing tanks inoperable.
At this time, Yang Guang also made contact with headquarters and learned that headquarters had sent a bunker-buster tank to rescue them.
Upon seeing a monster appear, he transforms into Ultraman Geed to come to the rescue.
Gade flew in and fired an energy blast, hitting Magnia and knocking her down. However, the meteorite provided Magnia with energy, healing her injuries and strengthening her.
Magnia stood up and engaged Gade in hand-to-hand combat. The two were evenly matched and fought to a standstill!
The group arrived at the meteorite and tried to attack it, but to no avail; they needed more powerful firepower.
They then called for support from headquarters. Soon after, Daigo and Shinjo arrived in the Hien and destroyed the meteorite with a missile.
Without the meteorite to provide energy, Magnia became weak and was brutally beaten by Gade. Finally, a Gade Beam blasted her into pieces!
The monster was defeated, and the controlled humans returned to normal and resumed their usual lives.
After going through thick and thin together, Horii and Ezaki Chizuru developed a mutual appreciation for each other.
Yes, that's right. Horii, that fat guy, has started dating after Daigo. Congratulations!
That day, a brilliant idea flashed through Yang Guang's mind. He thought about the principles of the Megatron power system, and then he remembered that Ultraman's energy came from light. He considered the Land of Light; after creating the Plasma Spark, it brought boundless energy and light to the entire Land of Light. Every Ultraman within the Land of Light didn't need to worry about energy depletion and could fight without restraint. With ample energy, Ultraman possessed strong regenerative abilities. However, on Earth, Ultraman, due to insufficient energy supply, could only fight at full power for three minutes. If the Megatron power system could be used to recharge Ultraman, it would not only increase their stamina but perhaps also enhance the power of their beam attacks, just like what the Super GUTS team did to Trigger in Trigger.
So Yang Guang went to Dr. Eight-Tailed Fox.
“Dr. Yawei, I have some ideas about the Magus propulsion system. Do you think it’s feasible?” Yang Guang said.
“Oh, Hikari, I didn’t know you had any research on the Magus propulsion system. Tell me your thoughts,” Dr. Yao said.
Just kidding, Yang Guang's country of cherry blossoms is called Hikari.
There is also an Ultraman in the Land of Light with this name. He is said to be a very famous Ultraman, who, like Zoffy, has a chest covered with stars.
"The Magus propulsion system uses the collision of protons and antiprotons to generate light, which propels the spaceship to extremely high speeds. It can also be used as a weapon, becoming the Magus Cannon, which has tremendous power," Yang Guang continued.
“That’s right, that’s exactly right,” said Dr. Yao.
“Then I was thinking, could this light provide energy for Ultraman? We all know that Ultraman can only appear on Earth for about 3 minutes each time. Research has shown that Ultraman’s energy is light. If we use the Megas power system to provide energy to Ultraman when he is in danger, he can regain his strength and defeat the monsters,” Yang Guang said, sharing his idea.
“Yes, we can give it a try. I developed the Megatron power system to benefit humanity and make a contribution to humankind. Ultraman sometimes does find himself in danger while fighting monsters to protect humanity. If this can help Ultraman, then it would definitely be good,” Dr. Yamata said.
So Dr. Yao began designing an energy transmission device to provide energy for Ultraman.
