Chapter 397 The Cosmic Pregnant Woman Who Landed on Earth
Following the timeline of the previous episode where the eclipse first appeared, a week has passed in the blink of an eye.
It was exactly 8 p.m.
The fourteenth episode of "Ultraman Cosmos" was officially released on major video platforms on time.
Countless tokusatsu fans, still immersed in the afterglow of the earth-shattering battle in last week's super-long special episode, flooded into the playback page on time.
In the episode order that Gu Nan adjusted, the fourteenth episode that is currently airing is actually the twenty-seventh episode in the original timeline.
That is, the episode that is interspersed in the middle of the eclipse chapter.
Last week's eclipse episode, as a core event in the middle of the week, had a relatively tight plot pace, and the suppressed and explosive emotions consumed too much of the audience's energy.
If the high-intensity, serious fighting style continues, it will easily cause both visual and psychological fatigue to the audience.
This episode is a light-hearted, everyday series that perfectly embodies Ultraman Cosmos's core theme of "compassion and gentleness," and is also suitable to follow up on the intense, storm-like battle of the previous episode.
In order not to disrupt the continuity of the main storyline, Gu Nan moved this episode, which was originally interspersed in the middle of the main storyline in episodes 26 to 30, directly to this episode.
The main feature screen lights up.
The first scene is a slice-of-life story.
Rena's best friend just had a baby, and the good news made Rena feel like she had become a generation older.
The once relaxed daily routine was instantly shattered by the piercing alarm sounding inside the elite youth team's base.
"An unidentified object is approaching from space!"
Reina loudly reported to the leader.
"Is it a meteorite? Or a UFO?"
Captain Qingguang frowned and immediately went into battle mode.
Tu Jing stared intently at the constantly fluctuating wavelengths on the screen, his expression extremely serious: "Life signs detected. Without a doubt, this is a monster!"
Upon hearing the words "cosmic monster," the atmosphere in the command room should have instantly plummeted to freezing point.
However, the camera suddenly focused on Haru Musashi's face.
The team member, who usually talks about protecting the monster, showed no signs of tension or crisis. Instead, his eyes shone, his lips curled into an uncontrollable grin, and his face was filled with undisguised anticipation and excitement.
"Great, it really was a monster that fell from space!"
Musashi was engrossed in his fantasies about the new monster.
[Musashi, are you awake?!]
He's just hoping for a new pet to arrive.
[It's fortunate that Musashi was born in Gauss's parallel universe. If he were in the Showa era, someone laughing so happily when the alarm goes off would probably be in serious trouble.]
[Was Hilbabur smeared directly on his face?]
No, no, no, Master Gao just unlocked a new form and was just worried about not having any monsters to use as punching bags!
Master Gao: When friends come, there's the moon goddess; when jackals come, there's a solar eclipse!
The scene shifts, and the elite youth team's Tektronix fighter jets have already roared to the scene of the incident.
To everyone's surprise, the cosmic monster that fell from the sky did not wreak havoc in the city, and it couldn't even move.
Because it fell with such force, its entire lower body plunged straight into the soil of the mountainous area and became firmly stuck.
The monster has a very comical appearance, with a round body and short limbs, covered with watermelon-like patterns, and a small tail trailing behind it.
"What is this guy doing?"
Feng Chui looked at the enormous creature on the screen, caught in a dilemma, and pursed his lips speechlessly.
"It probably got stuck because of the impact when it fell."
Tu Jing commented, "What a slow-witted monster."
Musashi, on the other hand, went to guide evacuation efforts.
Captain Seiko, seeing the harmless monster, gave the order: "Unit 2, begin monster scan."
"Understood! No reaction to the Chaos virus was detected!" Rena quickly gave the result.
After confirming it was safe, Captain Qingguang decisively ordered, "Alright, since it can't get out on its own, the capture operation begins! Use the special steel cable to hoist it up!"
[A superb steel cable still capable of supporting tens of thousands of tons.]
It seems that in tokusatsu (special effects) films, whenever a monster is pulled down with a steel cable, it never succeeds.
Not only could it not be pulled out, it crashed!
As expected, the plot development completely confirmed the predictions made by the viewers in the comments.
Two Tek Thunder fighters launched thick steel cables that gripped the monster's shoulders tightly.
The fighter jet's engines roared at full throttle as it desperately pulled upwards.
However, the monster was obviously far too heavy. The fighter jet not only failed to pull it out, but was also violently shaken in the air by the monster's erratic struggles, causing alarms to sound.
"No! Operation aborted, cut the steel cable immediately!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Feng Chui immediately pressed the release button, and the fighter jet managed to stabilize itself.
At this moment, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was too busy to pay attention to the ground, Musashi had already run to a deserted corner and raised the Sun and Moon Together.
A dazzling blue light flashed.
Ultraman Cosmos, Luna Mode, makes his appearance!
Gauss landed gracefully beside the monster.
Faced with this harmless monster, Gauss did not adopt a fighting stance. Instead, he stepped forward, grabbed the monster's shoulders tightly with both hands, and exerted force with his legs, trying to pull it out of the ground like a radish.
"Drink!"
Gauss's muscles were tense.
With a muffled, earth-shaking thud, the monster was finally pulled from the ground.
However, because the monster was too heavy, and Gauss exerted too much force, he completely lost his balance the moment the monster left the ground.
Gauss fell backward and crashed heavily to the ground.
The round, chubby monster then slammed squarely into Gauss, pinning him to the ground.
Gauss frantically waved his hands and kicked his legs wildly in the air, trying to push away the enormous creature on top of him, but the monster was like a mountain, pressing down on him so that he couldn't get up at all.
[As expected, this episode is a comedy!]
Master Gao's image has collapsed.
[They're just scapegoats.]
Goodness, this monster is so fat! Its belly is huge!
Just as Gauss was still struggling on the ground, Tsuchikage in the command room suddenly gasped.
"Captain! I've analyzed the monster scan data sent back by Tek Thunder, and I've discovered a major problem!"
Rena pointed at the huge, bright shadow on the screen, her voice trembling.
"Is there a problem?" Captain Haruka strode forward.
"This monster..."
Rena swallowed hard, her face filled with disbelief. "It's pregnant! It has a baby inside it!"
"That's why it's stuck in my stomach and can't come out!"
Upon hearing this, the entire team fell silent instantly.
Everyone stared wide-eyed in astonishment, exclaiming, "A...a baby?"
"Is there a baby inside the monster?"
"And little monsters?!"
[Holy crap? This monster is pregnant?!]
[It was the weight of two beasts!]
Is Master Gao going to become an obstetrician-gynecologist?
Upon learning the truth, Vice-Captain Mizuha immediately shouted to Cosmos via communicator, "Wait, Cosmos! Don't attack it! That monster has babies inside!"
On the battlefield, Gauss, who was about to push the monster away, froze instantly upon hearing this news.
"Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~~"
The indicator light on his chest even started flashing rapidly, clearly shocked by the sudden news.
[Was the light flashing?]
【Wait, your lamp can actually reflect emotions?】
[666, scared the battery out!]
[I've settled in Bengbu!]
Gauss sighed helplessly, then gathered a soft light in front of his chest with both hands, releasing a full moon light wave directly.
Soothed by the light waves, the frightened monster finally calmed down, closed its eyes, and fell into a deep sleep, allowing Gauss to get up from the ground.
The crisis has been temporarily averted, but new problems have arisen one after another.
Everyone started discussing again how to deal with the monster.
In Ayano's view, this monster was like a salmon, traveling a long distance to a certain region to give birth to its offspring.
The elite youth team immediately contacted Dr. Ikeyama, a monster ecology expert who was on Seiya Island.
Sure enough, Dr. Ikeyama, with a serious expression, explained to everyone while flipping through a yellowed ancient book: "This monster is called Salanga. In fact, Salanga has visited Earth several times in the past."
"Are you here to have a baby?" Captain Qingguang asked.
"That's exactly right."
Dr. Ikeyama showed us the ancient books, "For example, this book, 'Records of Strange Beasts of the Xia Kingdom,' written hundreds of years ago, contains a detailed record: 'A burning beast descended from the sky and transformed into two beasts, one large and one small, from the sea and ascended into the sky.'"
"It transformed from the sea into two monsters, one large and one small..."
Vice-Captain Mizuha pondered, "So, it gave birth to its baby in the sea?"
"That's right!"
Dr. Ikeyama nodded. "The closer Salanga gets to her due date, the higher her body temperature will rise, sometimes reaching thousands of degrees. If the temperature isn't lowered in time, both mother and child will die."
"Therefore, in order to cool its body, it has the habit of coming from the distant other side of the universe to Earth, which has vast oceans, to produce."
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
Captain Qingguang looked puzzled: "If it needs the sea, why did it misjudge the situation and fall into the deep mountains and forests instead of the sea?"
Chi Shan immediately pulled up a satellite map and pointed to the coastline, saying, "I checked, and when Salanga crashed, there was a large event being held on the coast of Xihai City, with a lot of fireworks being set off."
"I see!"
Rena immediately understood, "Because it hates the smell of gunpowder in fireworks, it changed its landing route at the last minute and hid in the mountains!"
It's the same reason why pregnant women dislike the smell of cooking fumes.
This monster is quite delicate; it can't stand the smell of gunpowder.
[Are there really such things as cosmic monsters?]
Inside the command center, Captain Qingguang placed his hands heavily on the table and issued the final order.
"If we don't take Salanga to the sea soon, its body temperature will keep rising until both mother and child die."
"We must successfully guide Salanga to the seaside, away from the residential area!"
"This is our mission! Protecting the baby in her womb and ensuring Saranja gives birth to a healthy child safely—that's what our elite youth team should do!"
"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.
As time passed, Salanga, who had fallen into a deep sleep, awoke once more.
The moment it opened its eyes, its enormous body began to radiate intense heat.
The originally dark green surface now faintly showed a dangerous dark red tinge, and the surrounding air was severely distorted due to the high temperature.
Salanga let out a painful screech, and driven by the instinct for survival, it began to blindly take heavy steps toward the direction where it sensed the most moisture.
"Oh no! Salanga has changed its course; it's heading towards the residential area ahead!"
Rena stared anxiously at the deviated red arrow on the radar and shouted.
"It absolutely must not be placed near residential areas!"
Captain Qingguang made a decisive decision: "Tek Thunder Unit 1, prepare to launch smoke grenades!"
Fighter jets roared past in mid-air.
"Fireworks ready!"
Reina decisively pressed the launch button.
Several specially made pyrotechnic shells landed precisely in front of Salanga's path.
Accompanied by a series of explosions, the pungent smell of gunpowder and thick smoke instantly formed an insurmountable barrier.
Saranga, who utterly loathed the smell of gunpowder, was choked by it and retreated repeatedly, letting out irritable cries, and had to stop his journey toward the residential area.
"Great! Operation a success! The fireworks worked!"
"I'm counting on you two now, Spring Breeze Duo!" the captain said.
On the ground, Musashi and Fubuki were already waiting in their specially modified patrol car on another safe route leading to the sea.
Two huge loudspeakers were mounted on the roof of the patrol car.
"Ready."
Feng Bian firmly gripped the steering wheel and pressed the accelerator.
Musashi then picked up the car microphone and turned it up to maximum volume.
The loudspeaker immediately emitted a realistic and soothing sound of waves crashing against the rocks.
"Saranga, can you hear me?"
Musashi leaned halfway out and shouted loudly at the distant behemoth, "That's the sound of the sea you long to reach! We'll take you there, come with us!"
Upon hearing the sound of the waves, the previously restless Salanga immediately turned his head.
It slowly turned around, dragging its heavy and burning body, and began to follow the patrol car step by step.
"Alright, it's catching up! Kaze-senpai, let's go!" Musashi excitedly sat back in the passenger seat.
The patrol car drove slowly ahead, the sound of waves echoing through the mountains.
Behind them, the giant cosmic beast carrying a baby followed closely, and a thrilling yet heartwarming hardcore escort mission officially began.
