HPDBC Chapter 278 The Miracle of Light, the Three Heroes Reunite!
Chapter 278 The Miracle of Light, the Three Heroes Reunite!
On the big screen, the blinding blood-red light illuminated the entire IMAX theater, making it look like a hellish inferno.
Hiroshi Shikata clutched the swollen, twisted red ball tightly, his eyes filled with greed and madness.
He seemed to be completely bewitched by some indescribable evil force, hysterically roaring at the sky: "I will destroy everything! I will utterly destroy this world! Destroy as you please, my strongest monster... King Orb Mengus!"
"BOOM—!!"
With a deafening roar that seemed to tear eardrums apart, Dolby Audio went into full power.
A terrifying monster with a ferocious appearance and a suffocatingly large size crashed into the center of the city.
That's King Orb! The ultimate monster, a fusion of bone wings, massive jaws, and a berserk body!
The instant it landed, the visible shockwave leveled buildings within a radius of several kilometers.
The billowing steel and concrete, amplified by the heavy bass, crashed down on the hearts of the audience in the theater.
Old Tang sat in the leather seat, his breathing stopped.
This feeling of oppression!
The special effects team at Chasing Light Studio is simply inhuman!
The modeling precision of this monster, the physics engine calculations that destroy the city—every frame is burning through money like crazy!
Watching this kind of disaster happen on the big screen is even more exciting than the best disaster movies!
At this point, the film uses rapid cuts from multiple perspectives to vividly portray the despair and helplessness of ordinary citizens in the face of the apocalypse.
Without high-tech defense forces and fighter jets, people can only flee like ants.
Although Gu Nan also mentioned how the army in this world would fight back in order to increase the length of the story, Gu Nan did so.
However, as real-world military equipment, it is still far too powerless against the terrifying monsters from fantasy tokusatsu.
But my dream still came to this world!
"Here it comes! Here it comes! Here it comes!"
Old Tang clenched his fist. "My dream's character is so captivating! Knowing it's a dead end, she still crosses time and space to save people!"
With a deafening roar as the spacetime barrier shattered, the Adventurer broke through the clouds and crashed to the ground.
Without a moment's hesitation, I raised the Blue Sapphire Cone, and a dazzling beam of light shot straight into the sky!
"Gaia—!!"
The earth trembled violently, and dust filled the air.
Ultraman Gaia's massive, powerful body descends once again upon this shattered world.
The battle erupted instantly.
Gaia and King Oubmengs engaged in the most primitive and brutal hand-to-hand combat amidst the ruins.
The heavy punch slammed into the monster's thick armor, sending up blinding sparks. Old Tang watched this fight scene, his blood boiling.
"King Orb Mengus, defeat him!" Hiroshi Shikata shouted frantically on the rooftop.
However, the red ball continuously supplies evil energy to King Oubmengs.
Gaia's luminous ice blade was forcibly deflected by the monster's shield, and was then met with a fierce counterattack.
Gaia was knocked to the ground with a heavy blow, and the color timer on her chest began to flash.
Just then, as the magic ball fell, Hiroshi Shikada and the others suddenly woke up and realized that they had been controlled.
Old Tang had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that things were turning around. But the plot took an unexpected turn.
It was Xiaoyou who was now bewitched by the magic ball.
"I don't like this world either. I have no freedom at all, so I might as well destroy everything!"
Xiaoyou's face was full of resentment. "Then I'll make a wish on this ball, asking it to build a freer and happier world!"
"No, Xiaoyou! You absolutely can't make that kind of wish!" Xiaomian shouted in despair.
But it was too late.
The red ball's brilliance reached its peak.
King Oubmengs roared to the sky, his abdomen and back splitting open.
The Bone-Winged Super Beast Basilis and the Giant Jawed Sea Beast Scylla actually split off directly from its body!
Three enormous creatures surrounded Gaia in a triangular formation.
What followed was nothing short of a one-sided massacre.
Gaia was completely overwhelmed by the coordinated attack of the three-headed monster.
Each time it was knocked down, it created a huge crater in the ruins.
The flashing of the red light grew more and more urgent, like a countdown to death.
A terrifying jet of fire blasted towards the school building where Xiao Mian and the others were. The rooftop collapsed, and the children were driven into a desperate situation.
"This is too hopeless..." Old Tang stared at the big screen, feeling a tightness in his chest. "Three epic-level monsters against one, how is this even possible? That old bastard Gu is going to torture the protagonist to death!"
Amidst the ruins, Xiao Mian struggled to his feet. His face was covered in mud, yet he clung tightly to the red ball that had fallen to the ground.
"Make the monster disappear! Save my dream!" Xiao Mian shouted hoarsely.
However, the red ball did not react.
"Why didn't this wish come true?!"
"What's already formed can't be changed back..." Li Sha's ethereal yet sorrowful voice rang out, "It's too late, it's all over."
Gaia collapsed heavily in the sea of fire, seemingly having lost all hope of survival.
The entire IMAX theater was deathly silent.
But in this endless darkness, the voice of a companion broke the silence.
"Xiao Mian, you have to keep going! Don't give up!"
"You must have hope! You absolutely cannot give up!"
Xiao Mian raised her head, and an unprecedented determination gradually emerged on her tear-streaked face.
That is the courage of humankind, the most genuine light that bursts forth at the boundary between illusion and reality.
He stood atop the ruins, facing the monster's roar and the onslaught of fireballs. Even as his body was blasted away by the shockwaves, he resolutely raised the red ball with both hands and let out a heart-wrenching scream towards the sky:
"Everyone! That's right, I'm not alone!"
"The same goes for Ultraman!"
"Light! Oh my god!!!"
The moment the words fell, two dazzling beams of light burst forth from the big screen, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at them!
A golden light of miracle and a purple light of hope, like two shooting stars tearing through the night, crashed down from the sky!
The light dissipated.
Giant of Light, Ultraman Tiga!
Miracle Warrior, Dyna!
Two towering figures, one on the left and one on the right, materialized from the light!
The two giants caught the children and placed them on the ground.
"Whoosh—!!!"
In that instant, the entire IMAX theater erupted in chaos! All the invited media personnel, tokusatsu content creators, and hardcore fans could no longer contain their excitement.
A thunderous applause erupted!
"Awesome!!!"
"Holy crap! The three heroes are together! Old bastard Gu, I'm bowing down to you!"
"The Demon King's Twin Guardians!"
"That's amazing! This is a miracle in the history of tokusatsu!"
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell throughout the theater, with some people even standing up in excitement.
Old Tang sat in the chair, goosebumps rising all over his body, and his eyes instantly reddened.
A masterpiece! This is absolutely a work of divine achievement!
I've been holding back for a whole hour, all for this moment of complete release!
It wasn't a cheat code, nor was it a deus ex machina; it was the innocence and courage that had never been extinguished in the children's hearts that forcibly pulled these two lights into the real world!
The three great heroes of the Heisei era have reunited for the first time!
The counterattack of the Giants of Light has officially begun.
The battle was instantly divided.
The classic battle background music played, taking the audience back to the time when Ultraman Tiga was broadcast!
Tiga transformed into his composite form, grabbed Scylla, and the powerful kinetic energy dragged the monster directly into the turbulent deep sea.
On the big screen, seawater surges into the sky under the violent collision of energy, forming a giant waterspout.
Underwater, Tiga displayed unparalleled fighting skills. With the Zepellion Beam fully charged, the azure beam tore through the deep sea, instantly vaporizing Styura!
"Salute! Still paying tribute!"
Old Tang's blood boiled with excitement. "This must be a replica of the Deep Sea Battle from the final episode of Ultraman Tiga!"
Meanwhile, Dyna had already taken Baggilis straight into the sky.
Its speed was so great that it created dazzling sparks as it rubbed against the atmosphere.
Two figures engaged in a chase in the vast expanse of space.
Dyna nimbly weaved through the asteroid belt, then fired a Solgent Ray with a backhand, precisely piercing Bagelis's head and exploding into a dazzling burst of sparks in space.
"Dyna's Star Wars! Gu Laozei really knows what fans want to see!" Old Tang cheered wildly in his heart.
On the ground, Gaia, the guardian of the earth, finally awakened to his ultimate power.
The red light faded, replaced by a supreme form symbolizing the fusion of earth and sea.
Gaia Supreme's explosively powerful muscle lines exude an unparalleled sense of oppression on the big screen.
Facing King Orb, Supreme Gaia made no fancy moves and charged straight at him.
The dull thuds of punches landing echoed throughout the theater.
King Orb was forced to retreat in defeat, and even his huge golden bone wings were shattered by Gaia!
Then, Gaia seized the opportunity, spread its arms wide, and a torrent of violent photon streams erupted out!
The blinding red light completely engulfed King Orbmons' massive body.
The shockwave from the explosion ripped through the clouds.
Victory was declared simultaneously on three battlefields: sea, land, and air.
The three arrogant monsters were completely reduced to ashes under the overwhelming power of the three Ultra Warriors.
The morning sun pierced through the thick clouds and shone on the city, which was ravaged by the sun.
Tiga, Dyna, and Gaia, the three giants, stand side by side.
They made no extra movements, simply watching the cheering children on the ground.
Old Tang let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had just gone through a high-intensity marathon.
But he knew that the film's core message was only just beginning to evolve.
The crisis is over, but the red ball remains.
As long as this Pandora's box remains, desires will not cease, and destruction could repeat itself at any time.
My dream returned to its human form under the glow of the setting sun.
Amidst the ruins, Xiao Mian holds a red ball.
"Xiao Mian, you should be able to make your own decisions now." Gao Jia Meng looked at him with a smile.
Xiao Mian glanced at Li Sha not far away.
He knew that Lisa was the embodiment of the red ball's will, and if the red ball disappeared, Lisa would also cease to exist completely.
Even with immense reluctance, the existence of the red ball can still repair the damaged city.
But he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and solemnly made one last wish:
"I want to make a wish: that this ball will disappear forever."
The red ball began to dissipate into specks of light.
Li Sha looked at Xiao Mian, her face showing unprecedented relief and tenderness: "Thank you, Xiao Mian, you protected the future."
The light completely dissipated. Li Sha's figure also vanished into nothingness.
Then, Tiga and Dyna's two giants also turned into specks of light.
Gao Wumeng crouched down and patted Xiao Mian's head: "Thanks to this book, we were able to meet again. Goodbye, Xiao Mian."
A flash of light, and Higher Self Dream returned to his own universe.
The scene shifts, and everything seems to be back on track.
On a bright and sunny morning, Xiao Mian went out with her schoolbag on her back.
"I'm going to school!"
"Be careful on the road!" Mom reminded him from behind.
In the classroom, the teacher clapped her hands: "Alright, everyone, quiet down. Starting today, a new student will be transferring to our class."
Xiao Mian felt something and suddenly raised his head.
The door was pushed open, and a little girl in a red dress walked in with a smile. That face was Li Sha's.
"My name is Li Sha, please take care of me."
Xiao Mian's eyes widened, and then a bright smile bloomed on her lips.
Finally, the scene returned to the Gaia universe.
I firmly stated in my dream:
"I protected the future... This world will not be destroyed. Absolutely not."
In the final seconds of the film, the camera slowly pans to the copy of *Gulliver's Travels* on Xiao Mian's desk. On the cover, a strong, bold signature is prominently displayed—
"Higher Self Dream".
The image freezes, and the entire screen turns black.
The melodious end credits song slowly filled the IMAX theater.
For a full ten seconds, no one in the theater spoke. Then, when the lights came back on, someone started a thunderous round of applause that resounded throughout the theater and lasted for a long time.
Old Tang sat in the chair, his eyes welling up with tears, unable to calm down for a long time.
There were no lengthy lectures or deliberately sentimental lines.
Gu Nan uses a fantastical adventure that breaks down the barriers between dimensions to perfectly exemplify the word "courage".
Ultraman may not exist in reality.
But as long as we have passion in our hearts and dare to face the difficulties of reality, the light in our hearts will never be extinguished.
Old Tang took a deep breath, wiped his eyes, and joined the entire audience in clapping enthusiastically.
In this battle, Light Chaser Animation Studios won decisively once again.
