Chapter 132, Section 131: Humanity Needs Its Own Strength (Fourth Update)
"Now that things have come to this, let's not dwell on it."
Zong Fang's already ashen face turned even more unpleasant. Why was the director so impulsive this time?
"Pre-load the Texas Beam; give that thing a good beating as soon as it comes out!"
"clear!"
Lina responded and activated the energy replenishment of the Texas Beam with a flick of her fingers.
"Don't worry, Commander. Once we eliminate Sukuna-ki, the Director will be fine."
"I hope so."
Zongfang looked at the gradually shaking Mount Sukuna and his expression became solemn.
"Out of gas?!"
Director Sawai reluctantly released the steering wheel, secretly relieved as he looked at Mount Sukuna, which was some distance away.
It should be safe from this distance.
The Flying Swallow fighter jets circling above gave Director Sawai a great sense of security.
Humanity's own armed forces, and Ultraman Tiga who has always protected humanity.
That should put things in order.
Within the bronze samurai statue, Ida Iryu's consciousness gazes at the fighter jets in the sky, a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, often including nostalgia or reflection).
At that time, everyone's hopes were not completely dashed. One day, humans were able to soar through the sky. After the violent tremor, the gigantic Sukuna Oni was revived inside the mountain.
Just as it emerged from the mountain, it was caught off guard by the Texas Beam from the Flying Swallow II. It let out a painful roar, sparks erupted from its chest, and it fell towards the mountainside.
"Damn it, even the Texas Beam couldn't destroy it?"
Zong Fang said with a sullen face and some resentment.
"Commander, these legendary evil spirits might retain their immortality even after resurrection, making them very difficult to kill. My grandma told me that."
Horii recalled the ghost stories his grandmother used to tell him and spoke earnestly.
Sure enough, the GUTS team knew less about these monsters that were associated with ghosts and gods than the old man did.
The Flying Swallow No. 1 fired lasers to engage Sukunaki, while Sukunaki straightened up, constantly spewing flames and strong winds and smoke from its back, trying to disrupt the GUTS team's vision.
"Humans, you all deserve to die! Ida Iryu, come out and die!"
Lina: "————"
The roar of Sukuna-ki was deafening, and the nearby villages took emergency evacuation. The elderly people all remembered their past.
"It's that Sukuna Oni that was sealed away by Lord Iryu. It's still alive."
"It's all our fault. We stopped worshipping Lord Iryu, and now Lord Iryu has no power to deal with Sukuna-ki."
The adults around all wore sorrowful expressions; they hadn't imagined the legend could be true. If only they had known...
Only the young children looked tense or even cried out in fear. They didn't understand anything about Sukuna Oni or who Iida Iryu was; they were just afraid of their current situation from the bottom of their hearts.
Can Lord Jinglong come to save them?
"Is that Sukunagami? He looks like a typical demon."
Director Sawai looked at the demon fighting against the GUTS team. Its red body was bulging with muscles, its white hair was disheveled, and it had demonic horns, fangs, and a single eye.
It's not hard to understand why they were given the title of ghosts and gods.
The bronze statue trembled, and Ida Iryu used his mental energy to communicate with Director Sawai.
"Sir, if Ultraman Tiga doesn't appear later, I can use my final sword strike to delay his actions."
-
Jing Tianjinglong felt somewhat helpless, as these ghosts and spirits always seemed to receive inexplicable resentment or dark energy.
If it can't be eliminated in one go, it will only get more and more disgusting later on.
Having been resurrected only once, he was already unable to deal with Sukuna-ki.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that his physical body has already perished.
If my body, forged through countless trials, were still intact, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.
Even with all their might, they couldn't kill a single monster; it's a disgrace to the name of Jingtian Jinglong.
Well, even though he wasn't able to completely kill Sukuna-ki while he was alive—
"Mr. Jinglong, what would you do if you used your final sword strike?"
Director Sawai asked calmly, though he already had some guesses in mind.
The reason why the Jingtian Jinglong in front of us is still able to survive is because during the Edo period, the villagers here worshipped him according to legend, which is why he is in such a bizarre state of survival.
If you really think about it, Ida Iryu's current state is actually more like a demon than Sukuna Oni.
If we exhaust our energy now and unleash our final strike, we'll probably perish.
"You should be able to guess that my mission is to suppress that ghost and prevent him from causing harm to the world."
Even if we perish along the way, it's worth it if it's for the sake of this goal.
Besides, I'm already a dead man.
Jing Tianjinglong's voice sounded exceptionally free and easy. Having slain countless demons and monsters throughout his life, he was only afraid when he saw the tragic state of the village after his first demon kill.
Having endured countless years of the loneliness that belongs to the strong, he had long since disregarded life and death.
Fulfilling one's mission is what a swordsman should do.
"In that case, I'm afraid I can't grant Mr. Jinglong's request."
Sawai smiled and shook her head.
Why?
Iida Iryu's voice was noticeably more urgent. He was already somewhat exhausted, and if he were to forcibly possess a living person's body again, it would cause even less damage to Sukuna Oni.
Could this seemingly foolish person in front of me also be pursuing some ulterior motive? Like those powerful figures of the past?
"Mr. Jinglong, you have already granted my request. In that case, your importance has surpassed mine, at least in my heart."
Sawai, with his hands behind his back, watched Sukunaki fiercely counterattacking, a fearless smile on his face.
"Mr. Jinglong, you may not know this, but ever since Ultraman and monsters appeared on Earth, I, who have been in a leadership role, have actually been under pressure every day."
According to the time machine, monsters are destroyers, and Ultraman is a protector.
However, for humans, this essentially means the addition of two enormous life forms that are difficult for humans to eliminate with their own power.
Even artillery shells or other high-powered weapons cannot have a significant effect.
You may not know how happy I was when I learned from Jiang Yu that a person like Mr. Jinglong had existed among humans.
This means that humans can also fight monsters on their own, even without the aid of high-powered weapons.
Mr. Jinglong, your survival means the spark of life for humanity.
Although I don't understand why people like Mr. Jinglong didn't pass down this method of enhancing power, it's time to do so.
Humanity needs this power that belongs entirely to itself, and for that possibility, I am willing to die before Mr. Jinglong!
