Chapter 438 The Megaspeium Ray!!
Before Lao Tang could recover from the shock of the earth's fall, the eighth level, "The Result of Evolution," descended with an even deeper sense of despair.
In the vast, cold asteroid belt of the universe, Ultraman Taro encountered EX Tyrant, a super mutant born from absorbing the resentment of countless monsters.
This colossal body is formed by fusing the head of the monster chief Geronimon, the four giant feet of Gomora, and the massive shell of the Tyrant Monster.
With the head of a monster chieftain and a colossal body with four legs, this creature is as ferocious as a zombie monstrous beast, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.
Ultraman's fighting evolution and rebirth, this excellent monster design has shocked Lao Tang more than once.
Why wasn't this monster costume served sooner?!
However, when he is Ultraman in battle, he can only break down and rage helplessly at the old thief's design.
The first phase of the battle is extremely difficult. EX Tyrant has an extremely wild combat AI and will launch Barabba's iron whip weapon [Pulse Anchor] for a crazy continuous attack.
Old Tang could only keep trying to overpower it with combos.
When Lao Tang finally managed to reduce Taro's health to low, the game unexpectedly triggered an unavoidable scripted death, where EX Tyrant would forcibly whittle down Taro's fixed health by 24%.
Immediately afterwards, the entire universe and starry sky dimmed in color.
The wails of the undead echoed in his ears. EX Tyrant absorbed all the resentment and transformed into the even more terrifying undead form, EX Tyrant.
It looks extremely ferocious and can even perform special skills, using brute force to pull asteroids with its bare hands and smash them to the ground. The visual effect of the massive meteorite swarm crashing down is extremely shocking.
"How come this monster is so hard to kill? I've tried to kill it three times already!"
Looking at Tyrant, who had been fully resurrected and transformed into a walking corpse, Old Tang fell into deep despair.
No matter how Old Tang attacks or what combos he uses, it will continuously recover its full health within a few seconds after being knocked down by absorbing resentment.
However, the player's health and margin for error remain fixed values.
This mechanism is so insidious!
[I'm stuck in Bengbu. This level is incredibly difficult; without a guide, who would have guessed it would take until dawn!]
[After the battle, the moment the sun came out, I truly felt like I had escaped a disaster.]
This level is called "The End of Evolution," and it's practically the end for players; my hands are killing me.
[Chasing the Light: Heard you guys like high difficulty levels? How about the Undead Tyrant with infinite healing?]
[How long do you think it would take Old Tang to beat the game if he just recklessly charged in without looking at a guide?]
Just when the controller was about to be worn out and the color timer was flashing wildly, a talented viewer in the live chat gave a tip and posted a striking colored notification:
"Old Tang! Judging by the mechanics, you'll have to use all three of your ultimate abilities, then wait for dawn!"
"What does that mean? That we have to drag things out in space until dawn?!"
Old Tang roared, but his body had already reacted instinctively.
He spread out to dodge and build up his special attack gauge.
When Taro releases the bracelet javelin, even his entire back muscles are fully engaged.
He looked much stronger and more powerful.
"Die, you bastard!"
After all three ultimate attacks were used on the undead Tyrant, the sun finally rose slowly in the game scene.
That ray of sunlight that pierced through the endless darkness, carrying an inviolable sacred power, finally dispelled all the resentment that had accumulated on Tyrant.
Having lost the support of the monster spirits, EX Tyrant vanished into nothingness with an extremely mournful and unwilling roar.
Old Tang slumped back in his gaming chair:
"My hand is completely ruined; this DLC makes it so easy to get tenosynovitis!"
"But to be honest, when that sun rose and its light shone on the asteroid belt, I got goosebumps all over. The people behind Ultraman really understand what the romance of Ultraman is."
Waiting for dawn in the deepest darkness—that's the soul of tokusatsu (special effects) films.
Taro's muscles are huge! Slurp~~
[What Light Chaser Animation created with UE5 isn't just a game, it's an epic tale of the Land of Light.]
After finishing this level, I immediately clapped my hands in front of the computer. It was worth it.
After narrowly surviving the eighth level, the next two levels gave players across the internet a true taste of "both extremes of heat and cold."
The title of the ninth level is "The Long Sleep of the Monster Chief".
Old Tang arrived in a secluded, frozen region, where the corpses of various monsters lay.
Frozen inside the largest icicle is Geronimon, the monster chieftain with the terrifying ability to resurrect the dead.
The mini-game mechanics in this level are quite interesting.
Even when Geronimon is frozen inside ice, it can still launch a large number of feather orbs by burning its life force.
Players control the original Ultraman and use a mini-game to bounce feather balls, or make good use of forward rolls (double-tapping forward and down can effectively avoid upper attacks) to reduce the ice block's health to 50%.
Then, with a crisp cracking sound, Geronimon broke free of the ice. This veteran monster was extremely difficult to deal with; its basic attack consisted of frantically striking with its hands, ultimately sending the monster flying, at an extremely high frequency.
When its stamina is reduced to 50%, it will strengthen itself again, roaring and consuming its own life force to enter berserk mode and fight the player to the death.
"Hmph, you want to fight me to the death?"
"Its health is constantly burning!"
"I'm activating 'Defense Master' mode right now!"
Old Tang skillfully maneuvered and dodged, relying on perfect defense to "outlast" the raging monster chieftain until it burned itself out.
[The Three Qi Return!!!]
There's also the matter of the Dragon Lord.
They managed to turn a fighting game into an idle game.
However, before Old Tang could even gloat for two minutes, the tenth level, "Chasing the Invaders," taught him a lesson in the most brutal way.
This level has been called an "absolute nightmare" by countless respawning veteran players.
That Baltan UFO shooting game, which all players called a "nightmare," drove Old Tang to the point of complete breakdown in front of the screen.
As the saying goes, "Even the strongest man can defeat a monster like Ultraman, but even a hero is no match for a flying saucer!"
The first half of this level is a rhythm game with absolutely no room for error.
Players control Seven to fire the Emerium Ray, while the Baltan aliens' flying saucers drift erratically in the air.
A dense barrage of lasers erupted from the UFO.
The most annoying thing about this level is that if you press the wrong button when you use the laser, you'll get hit.
Seven would be instantly immobilized on the spot, suffering a severe stun and being relentlessly attacked by the subsequent barrage of comments, leading to a complete mental breakdown.
After countless times being overwhelmed by lasers and having to start over, Lao Tang finally figured out the pattern through amazing perseverance and memorization.
He slapped his thigh and shouted:
"Brothers, look for the pattern!"
"I've played Touhou a lot, I'm a pro at bullet hell shooters!"
"Remember the formula for bullet comments!"
"Don't panic, this level is actually a rhythm game with a fixed pattern, which is perfect for memorizing."
There are essentially three possibilities when it comes to seeing UFOs.
"Just wait for those few consecutive shots at the very top, and the instant the topmost shot covers Seventh Master's head, immediately press the right dodge button!"
"Respond to each move as it comes, and then stay calm and continue responding. After each move, relax and recharge; never panic!"
After countless restarts, Old Tang finally destroyed the flying saucer and entered the ground battle.
Faced with the Baltan aliens who had revealed their true forms and were attacking wildly with their giant claws, Old Tang, who was filled with rage, controlled Seven to unleash a barrage of super-heavy blows.
Finally, a single, fully charged beam of light annihilated the Baltan aliens.
[Old Tang's incompetent rage on the spot.]
I almost smashed my controller while playing this level.
The whole internet is talking about being attacked by Baltan UFOs, it's hilarious.
[Baltan Alien: I heard you want to beat the game? Get past my level first, then you can talk.]
The difficulty of this level is retribution for Old Tang's previous tactics.
Old Tang let out a long sigh, threw down the controller, chugged half a bottle of water, and gave a wry smile to the camera: "Brothers, after finishing this tenth level, I feel like I've aged ten years. This Rebirth DLC is basically pushing players' blood pressure to the limit. But strangely enough, every time I get completely destroyed, I still want to keep playing because—the story is just too captivating."
All the clues converge and come together in the eleventh level, "Gauss in a Dire Situation".
Amidst the ruins of the city.
Ultraman Cosmos confronts Chaos Uroga, who is infected by the Chaos virus, in the city.
Uroga fired a barrage of light bullets from his dual pistols, while Old Tang switched to Corona Mode and began smashing things. Gauss's legs and hands combined to create an explosive sense of impact.
This kind of operation brought him the same thrill of playing Gaia Supreme.
After defeating it, a dark crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and an overwhelmingly powerful evil force sucked Gauss into a mysterious other-dimensional space.
In this space filled with darkness, the true mastermind finally revealed its sinister face.
"Welcome, Gauss."
An alien, entirely black with an eerie yellow glow emanating from its head, slowly emerged from the shadows.
"I am a Mefilas alien."
"The mastermind behind this turmoil on Earth."
The voice of the Mefilas alien was filled with gentlemanly arrogance and malice: "Because you might get in my way, I'm going to lock you up in this space."
Enjoy the gift I prepared for you.
After saying that, the resentment of countless dead monsters gathered together and transformed into an even more terrifying EX Tyrant, which roared and pounced on Gauss!
"Holy crap! The mastermind behind this is none other than Mefilas, our old nemesis from the first game!"
Old Tang exclaimed in surprise:
"So... the chief who resurrected the monsters, Baltan who modified the monsters, and this Chaos virus—they're all pawns in his game!"
"A diversionary tactic! If we trap Gauss in another dimension, what will happen to the Land of Light outside?!"
[The Alien Mefilas! A veteran at the pinnacle of intelligence!]
Good heavens, they actually managed to bring back so many old villains and even created a plot just like the movie!
[What a despicable gentleman! He actually used the Chaos virus to cause trouble!]
Are these two worlds considered to be in the same universe? Is this a fictional world?
In the alternate dimension, Gauss faces the enhanced resentment of Tyrant, and Old Tang has another "bitter battle," during which he frantically complains about Mefilas's treachery.
However, once the eclipse began, Old Tang's smile never faded.
Please enter text.
The game ended prematurely once again.
The damage is a whopping 100% high.
[To knowingly charge forward despite being outmatched—that's foolishness disguised as passion! Tyrant, you bastard!]
[Tyrant: Dead legs! Run!]
Diamond Impact! Unleashing Divine Power!
After a "hard-won" battle.
The entire live stream was abuzz with excitement over the unfolding conspiracy, with the barrage of comments almost completely obscuring the screen.
And when the scene first arrives at the Land of Light.
The plot reached its climax at this moment.
Level 12, the title appears on the big screen: "M78 Complete Destruction Plan".
This is also the first time that Gu Nan's version of the Land of Light has been shown.
Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, the lush green scenery showed a stark contrast to the old Tsuburaya production.
Gu Nan plans to reveal the true full picture of the Land of Light in the future "Ultra Galaxy Legend".
In the game.
While Gauss was trapped, Mefilas used the replication ability of the Chaos virus.
Combining the battle data of the Ultra Brothers collected by Geronimon and Baltan Alien, they actually created three incredibly powerful Dark Ultramen with pale tear-like patterns!
Chaos Seven, Chaos Taro, and Chaos the First!
These three imposters, exuding an ominous purplish-black aura, launched a surprise attack on the unsuspecting heart of the Land of Light!
"The Land of Light's security system has been completely breached!"
Seeing the warning coming from the game screen, the red Plasma Spark Tower was in danger, and the viewers in the live chat burst out laughing.
[Security for the Land of Light? They have such a thing?!]
Living in Bengbu makes me feel like anyone can come and leave a mark on the Land of Light.
So what about the Ultra Brothers? Are they going to crawl out of the cellar again?
[666, and there are even emojis!]
By the way, the Land of Light in this game seems different from the ones in Taro & Leo. Is the planet green?
However, what followed turned into a battle that left everyone feeling anything but happy.
The map of the Land of Light, including the Spark Tower, features a future predominantly emerald green color scheme.
The set design was incredibly meticulous, but it was also extremely difficult to create.
Old Tang first controlled Seven to fight Chaos Seven.
In the hands of that carefree and arrogant imposter was the Ultra Key, a treasure of the Land of Light capable of destroying a planet in a single blow!
"It not only used the key to block out light, but it also used it as a club to hit me on the head!"
Old Tang was beaten so badly he ran away with his head in his hands. Dark Seven slammed the golden key into Seven's head with a dull thud.
At the risk of having his defenses breached, Old Tang narrowly managed to win by using a back dodge to trigger the counter-attack mechanism just as his stamina bar was about to flash.
During the few times he was killed in battle, he also witnessed the true power of the Ultra Key.
A tiny meteor shot from the tip of the key turned the entire planet into white light.
Holy crap!!!
【? ? ? ? 】
【tension!】
I finally understand why the King of Ultra broke the Ultra Key.
[Exceptional expressiveness!]
I was so scared I cried! I was really scared!
Faced with such a powerful enemy.
We finally won, but there's a second challenge.
The perspective shifts to Taro's side.
Chaostalo actually stole the Ultra Bell, which symbolizes peace, and stuffed it into his body.
Moreover, they exhibit extreme wildness and madness, and their movements are so powerful that they can throw themselves off balance due to the immense inertia.
When the Ultra Bomb is released, as long as the player presses the release button, the AI will release the Ultra Bomb in the same frame with 100% accuracy.
Forces players into an extremely frantic QTE button-pressing battle mode!
Old Tang sprang up from his gaming chair, his facial muscles tense and contorted.
On the screen, two suicidal flames, one purple and one red, collided violently.
The two frantically pounded on the buttons, racing against each other, and the vibration feedback of the controller was so strong that it almost jumped out of his hands.
"My controller buttons are about to fall off! This thing is practically a human self-propelled cannon!"
"Even with a clicker, I might not be able to beat this AI!"
Old Tang frantically rubbed the joystick until his fingers were about to break, his forehead covered in sweat, and all that could be heard in front of the screen was the dense "tap tap tap" of the keyboard.
The numbers in the top left and right corners even reached seventy or eighty.
Old Tang, using his fingers that were about to break down, narrowly escaped defeat purely through willpower.
[Holy crap, they're going all out with Ultra Bombs against the AI, Old Tang's really fired up!]
[Controller: What did I do wrong that you're treating me like this?]
Old Tang's fingers have burned out!
[Old Tang's Tendon Sheath: Holy crap!]
After this battle, Old Tang will need to replace all his gaming chairs.
[Chasing the Light: When we were working on this level, we referenced the hand grip strengthener from the gym.]
However, there is absolutely no possibility of skipping class in such a 1v1 game.
After a fierce battle.
Finally, in front of the Plasma Spark Tower, the energy core of the Land of Light, the original Ultraman faced off against the strongest Chaos.
The design of this scene perfectly recreates the grand impression of classic tokusatsu dramas.
The emerald green plasma spark tower is sacred and solemn.
In front of the Spark Tower stands the evil and dark Chaos, the first generation.
This dark, original character moves like a butterfly flitting among flowers, yet each move is deadly.
With its right hand hanging down, it habitually and ruthlessly charges forward, sometimes even using its right arm as part of its eight-part halo to slash out head-on.
Moreover, when the first generation used the same skill, it could not restrain or restrict Chaos the First Generation.
However, Chaos the First was able to retaliate in an even stronger way.
As a terrifying living weapon, the original Chaos was truly chilling.
[666, this is truly Mefilas's love!]
Goodness, they made the original so powerful!
They were all taught by the same master, so they can't break each other's moves!
[First Generation: Oh no, kids, this feels like fighting Zetton!]
[Here comes someone who uses their arm as a weapon!]
After a thrilling hand-to-hand combat, Lao Tang was reduced to a sliver of health, and the timer dropped below 30 seconds.
Chaos the First also prepared a powerful opening move.
Just as Old Tang was in dire straits, yelling "We're going to crash!", the most shocking hidden element in the entire game was suddenly triggered!
Since the first generation is in front of the Plasma Spark Tower, when the extreme conditions of "Chaos and the first generation are both at low health for less than 30 seconds, and Chaos releases its ultimate move" are met.
Chaos's Specium Ray failed to kill the original!
The background music changes instantly!
Home advantage changed!
The plasma spark tower suddenly erupted with an intense, sky-covering light, and the core of the artificial sun was running wildly, instantly charging the first generation like a super power bank!
A devastating "Gigaspecium Ray" roared out.
The immense recoil, enhanced by a modern game engine, delivers a terrifyingly powerful performance!
The first generation gradually overcame the powerful recoil of this destructive beam of light.
The beam tore through the ground, and the long, thick beam, as thick as a pillar, instantly blasted Chaos the First Generation into cosmic dust!
[So cool!!!]
[Holy crap, could this be the Super Evolution - Failure Humiliation Ray?!]
[The purity of the spark tower!]
[Instantly activate the Immortal Realm!]
[Hidden feature triggered in dire situation, so cool!!]
These special effects are incredible; the budget is burning like crazy!
Fighting the original in front of the Plasma Spark Tower? Isn't that just asking for death?
This is the true power of the Land of Light's number one power bank!
The crisis in the Land of Light was finally resolved, and Old Tang in front of the screen breathed a long sigh of relief.
The live stream chat was a sea of jubilation.
After all, this game has been high-energy throughout so far!
Everyone saw the scene they wanted to see.
Bloodthirsty viewers were satisfied!
Old Tang swung his aching wrist, staring at the plasma spark tower on the screen as it gradually calmed down, his voice still brimming with excitement: "Brothers, this is truly the most thrilling moment in the history of tokusatsu games!"
After completing 12 levels, the final level is next.
The comments section was flooded with messages, with everyone urging Lao Tang to continue and witness the final outcome of this grand story.
Old Tang simply took a deep breath, gripped the handle tightly again, and knew that all the miracles and tenderness would blossom most brilliantly on the next battlefield.
