Ultraman: Invincible since saving Tiga

Chapter 292 Earth Monsters: Shivering with anger, we Earth monsters are still...

Chapter 292 Earth Monsters: Ugh, I'm So Furious, Can't We Earth Monsters Get Better?

"Huh?!"

Takayama Gamu stumbled, almost losing his balance. He rubbed his shoulder where Lin Yu had patted him, and complained with lingering fear, "Lin Yu-san, could you please tell me in advance next time? That feeling was really scary!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed a small group of people gathered on the sidewalk not far away.

A familiar figure was holding a microphone, earnestly interviewing a middle-aged man who was passing by.

"It's Miss Reiko!" Takayama Gamu's eyes lit up.

Reiko Yoshii, a star reporter for KCB TV.

Lin Yu followed his gaze and saw the capable female reporter asking a serious question: "What is your personal opinion on the recent decisions by various countries' militaries to use 'underground penetrating bombs' for preventative elimination of monsters detected sleeping underground worldwide?"

A penetrating bomb from underground? To destroy the sleeping monster?

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow.

Good heavens, you Earthlings really do know how to disappoint people.

"Of course I support it!"

The middle-aged man being interviewed said indignantly, "Those monsters, who knows when they'll wake up? It'll be too late once they run into the city and wreak havoc! Eliminating them in their infancy is a responsibility to all of us citizens!"

Several passersby nodded in agreement.

"That's right, it should have been done a long time ago."

"A monster is a monster, once a monster, always a monster; staying on Earth is nothing but a menace!"

Takayama Gamu was about to go up and greet Reiko when he heard these comments. He stopped in his tracks, and a look of confusion and reluctance appeared on his face.

"Oh."

A contemptuous sneer came from Lin Yu's mouth.

"What's wrong, Lin Yu-san?" Takayama Gomu looked at him, puzzled.

"I just think that you humans are really interesting sometimes."

A mocking smile curled at the corners of Lin Yu's lips. He crossed his arms and began his classic吐槽 (tu cao, a form of witty retort) segment.

"Normally, the monsters native to Earth have been sleeping peacefully underground for tens of thousands of years. What did they do to you? Without saying a word, humans just launch a 'skyrocket' and send them flying into the sky, euphemistically calling it 'preventive elimination.' It's really a heavy blow to 'friendly forces' that have no ability to resist."

"But when the real enemy, those 'Destruction Bringers' from outer space, came knocking on their door, they became timid and hesitant. Apart from pinning their hopes on Ultraman, they seemed to have no other effective solutions. Of course, I am not referring to the members of XIG and their comrades who fought bravely on the front lines, the front lines of scientific research, and the front lines of logistics, but rather to those idiot leaders behind them."

Lin Yu's voice wasn't loud, but it reached Gao Shan Ga Meng's ears clearly. Every word was like a heavy hammer blow to his heart.

"Do you know that in the finale, it was these Earth monsters, whom humans had ruthlessly hunted, who risked their lives and charged forward one after another to buy precious time for humanity, Gaia, and Agul, so that Earth could finally be saved?"

"Take Tiguris, for example, the White Tiger, one of the four divine beasts of Earth. The first generation was sleeping peacefully underground when he was inexplicably blasted out by one of your underground penetrating bombs and beaten to death."

Tiguris: Family, does anyone understand? Who can I reason with? Is sleeping a violation of the heavenly law?

"Even so, in the final battle, the second generation of Tiguris, despite still remembering the hatred of his compatriots being killed, still bravely charged towards the Destroyer Blitzbrotz to protect Earth. He even gave the commander who gave the order a hateful look, abandoning revenge in the face of a formidable enemy."

Lin Yu shook his head, his tone full of sarcasm: "Tell me, which is more rational, these monsters you call 'scourges,' or the humans who call themselves 'masters of Earth'?"

Gao Shanwo was completely stunned.

Lin Yu's complaints were like a mental tsunami to him.

Tigurius, Earth Monster, the finale, stalling for time...

These thoughts intertwined in his mind, making him tremble with anger, and despite the hot weather, he was covered in cold sweat and his hands and feet were ice-cold.

Earth monsters: Shivering with rage! Can this Earth ever be salvaged? How can you possibly satisfy us, the native monsters of Earth? Tears streamed down their faces uncontrollably. Human society is rife with oppression of the indigenous people. When will the Earth monsters finally be able to stand up for themselves?

Is this what the future will be like? Humanity cruelly murdering its own future allies one by one?

Suddenly, he began to understand Fujimiya Hiroya a little better.

No wonder, no wonder that genius so easily believed the cold conclusion drawn by the quantum computer.

No wonder he is so convinced that the best way to protect the Earth is to eliminate humanity.

Perhaps it was because he had witnessed far too much of this incurable arrogance and folly inherent in humankind.

In an instant, feelings of pain and self-blame overwhelmed Gaoshanwomeng like a tidal wave.

For the first time, as a human being and as Ultraman Gaia, he deeply doubted his own position.

"Do you feel pain?"

Lin Yu looked at his pale face, patted his shoulder, and said, "This is the humanity you chose to protect. They are kind, brave, and resilient, but also selfish, arrogant, and short-sighted. Accept them all, the good and the bad; that is the true meaning of protection."

"I……"

Gao Shanwomeng's throat was dry, and he couldn't speak.

"No!"

A moment later, he suddenly raised his head, and a light rekindled in his eyes—a light that was more resolute and clearer.

"We can't let this continue!"

His voice trembled with emotion, "We are all part of Earth, native creatures living on this planet! Even if monsters look terrifying, should we deprive them of their right to live just for the sake of so-called 'peace of mind'?"

"Why not attack those Destruction Bringers? They are the real enemies that want to destroy humanity and the Earth! Why take action against these comrades who are just sleeping and haven't made any threatening moves?"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice grew louder and louder, attracting the attention of passersby and Yoshii Reiko, who was conducting the interview.

Reiko immediately realized that something was wrong.

She keenly sensed how dangerous Takayama Gamu's remarks were in the current social atmosphere where the public generally hated monsters.

If this "speaking for the monster" viewpoint is broadcast, he will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism immediately.

A hint of worry flashed in Reiko's eyes. Without making a sound, she quietly gave a hand gesture to Inoue Rinfumi and Tabata Kenji, who were carrying cameras behind her.

—Quick, cut the camera!

This kind and perceptive female reporter chose to protect the emotionally agitated young man immediately.

Miss Reiko, she's practically a superhero.
