Chapter 37 Qijela
A few days later, something else happened, and everyone gathered in the command room.
Because the radar detected a strong plasma signal at a certain location! But strangely, nothing was actually seen.
"Then let's go investigate," Yang Guang said.
"Alright, Hikari, Daigo, Rena, and Shinjo, you go and investigate," Megumi ordered.
"Should we call Munakata to take command?" Daigo asked.
“No need, let him continue his vacation,” said Megumi Kijima.
The group arrived at the location and searched it, but found nothing suspicious.
However, Lina discovered a strange flower that she had never seen before.
Upon seeing these flowers, Yang Guang and Da Gu both felt as if some memories had been awakened.
"The demise of ancient civilizations seems to be related to this flower?" Daigo recalled.
"Huh? Why do I also have memories from ancient times? Aren't I a time traveler?" Yang Guang asked, puzzled.
“They’re here too, and they’re there too,” Xincheng said.
"It should be related to this flower. Let's collect some and take it back to Horii, that fat guy, to study it," Yang Guang said.
"Ok."
After collecting the flowers, the group split up to continue their search, looking for any other unusual areas.
A short while later, Yang Guang and Da Gu found a girl in blue and brought her back. They then discovered that Shinjo and Lina seemed to be in trouble.
"Shinjo, Shinjo, what's wrong? Rena? Rena!" Daigo tried to wake Shinjo and Rena, but they seemed not to hear him, immersed in their own world.
“It’s no use. Once you go to the dream world, no one will think about coming back,” the girl said.
Yang Guang said to Daigu, "Daigu, let's go back quickly. There's something wrong with this flower. Its pollen can cause hallucinations."
"it is good."
So Yang Guang and Daigu, along with Lina, Shinjo, and the girl in blue, returned to TPC headquarters.
Yang Guang took Qi Jiela to the laboratory for Horii to analyze, and told him to be careful not to inhale pollen.
Daigo then brought the girl to the command room and told the captain about the situation.
Megumi asked the girl in blue a few questions. She learned that the girl's name was Dina, and that the flower was called Zigela, which had bloomed on Earth 30 million years ago. She said that when humanity was about to perish, the Zigela flower would bloom on Earth.
"Zijera's pollen is very special; it can induce an inescapable dream state. We must destroy Zijera as soon as possible!"
Yang Guang knew this thing was no good, so he offered his advice.
Then Ye Rui checked the computer and found that many people had been affected by pollen and were addicted to dreams.
Yang Guang calmed down. He figured that Qi Jiela was just using pollen to affect humans. Once Qi Jiela's true form appeared, he would just destroy it.
What do you mean, "Ultraman can't interfere with the choices made by humans"? That's ridiculous. It was clearly influenced by the monster's pollen; how can you call that a choice made by humans themselves? It's like someone accidentally ingesting an addictive substance and then uncontrollably continuing to ingest it—can that be considered a choice made by humans?
What's the point of having drug rehabilitation centers then! If you're still so stubborn, I'll let you experience Professor Yang's electroshock therapy!
As the zigzag continued to grow and bloom, people all over the world inhaled its pollen. The entire TPC headquarters staff were also enveloped in a dreamlike state.
In the command room, only Yang Guang, Daigu, and Dina were awake.
At this moment, a man in blue walked in; he was clearly related to Dina.
The visitor was Luke, Dina's father, who had come to take Dina away from Earth. He believed Earth was doomed, humanity would perish again, and even the Giant of Light couldn't save them!
“I don’t agree with your point of view,” Yang Guang interrupted.
"It's not that humanity doesn't need the Giants of Light, but rather that humanity's minds have been clouded by the pollen of the Gijera. Humanity should make its own choices, and these choices should be made while fully conscious. Humanity isn't exactly conscious right now. Daigo, let's go and destroy the Gijera," Yang Guang continued.
"There were some pitiful creatures in ancient times who wanted to do the same thing, but human desires run deeper than the roots of Zigela! Let's go, Dina."
To succumb to desire is to succumb to hell. I, Professor Yang, will use electrotherapy to save those who are unable to extricate themselves!
After sunset, the influence of the 'Chijera' on humans begins to weaken. This is because the 'Chijera' is, after all, a plant, and its vitality decreases after sunset.
Humans were suddenly jolted back to reality from a dream world, and felt immense pain. Everyone groaned that they needed pollen.
In the Victory Team's command room, everyone gathered to discuss how to deal with Zigera.
"Right now, Qijiela is just a bud. When it blooms, humanity won't be able to stand up! We urge the whole world to destroy Qijiela tonight," Yang Guang said to the crowd.
Daigo also agreed with Yang Guang's suggestion.
Although everyone knew that Zijella was no good, they just couldn't make up their minds.
why?
Because most humans have inhaled the pollen of the Cigela flower and experienced a world even better than reality. To attack the Cigela now would be to make an enemy of the entire world.
"But if we don't destroy the Cigela, then humanity will come to an end. The Cigela pollen is addictive, how is that any different from poison? Someone always has to do the right thing, even if countless people criticize you! To maintain world peace, someone always has to bear the burden! Daigo, let's go!" Yang Guang said and left the command room.
Daigo also left with Yang Guang.
The two piloted the Flying Swallow to Qijiela's location, parked the plane, and transformed into Ultraman.
People nearby saw Gade and Tiga pleading.
"Ultraman Geed, please don't destroy Zigela."
"Tiga, please."
"Don't destroy Zigela!"
"That's our Zijra!"
"No!"
Hearing the shouts of the crowd, Geed and Tiga remained unmoved and launched their attack.
After a beating, you know what? It felt much better than hitting a punching bag.
Gijera retaliated with its thorny vines, but to no avail. What could a plant do besides swinging its vines when it couldn't move? In no time, Geed ripped off several leaves, and one of the vines was snapped in two. Perhaps it would have been difficult for Tiga alone, but with two Ultramen, it was much easier.
Seeing that it was about time, Geed and Tiga charged up their energy together and unleashed a powerful beam attack.
biu~!
biu~!
Boom~!
At the same time, they struck Gijera, destroying it. However, Gijera's roots remained intact. Gade and Tiga stepped forward, grabbed the roots, and together they channeled energy, destroying Gijera's roots as well.
The two Os looked at each other and saw that Zigela had indeed been destroyed, then they both flew away.
The next day, in the Victory Team's command room, without the influence of Zigela pollen, everyone felt refreshed!
I can't imagine why I was controlled by Zigela yesterday? Wasn't I perfectly fine when I was sober?
"Speaking of which, I really admire Gade and Tiga. They knew that the whole world might be their enemy, but they still risked everything to save us," said Megumi Kijima admiringly, glancing at Yang Guang and Daigo.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated that Tiga was Daigo, Megumi had already guessed it.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, after the Ziegera incident, people have come to cherish real life even more. Investigations by relevant departments have revealed that people's enthusiasm for life is higher than ever before.
Perhaps people have realized that indulging in dreams only leads to further depravity, ultimately resulting in the demise of those beautiful dreams. Only achievements gained through facing reality and using one's own hands are truly real. Even if reality presents various difficulties and setbacks, as long as one musters the courage to confront them, no obstacle is insurmountable!
