Chapter 86 We are both light and humanity
All the giants present were completely dumbfounded.
They stood there blankly, or knelt in the ruins, the color timers on their chests still beeping urgently as their energy and faith dwindled.
The ironclad rule that "the Giants of Light cannot interfere with human choices" has always been like a steel stamp, firmly imprinted in their consciousness. When Captain Yuzare said this, the will of Earth seemed to tacitly accept it. So when they saw humans smiling as they walked towards the flower field of Gijera, they instinctively thought that this was the end of civilization, their dereliction of duty and powerlessness as "light".
But Caul's words were like a rusty but extremely sharp boning knife, ruthlessly tearing away this hypocritical and rigid fig leaf.
"He's right..."
In the ruins, Tiga looked at his hands, which were trembling slightly with confusion, and his eyes, which had dimmed, suddenly lit up with a faint light again.
"We are light, but we are also human." Tiga slowly straightened up, turned his head, and looked at the civilians not far away who were on the edge of the sea of fire, inhaling pollen and with psychedelic smiles on their faces.
"If humanity were in a conscious state, and after careful consideration, even if they chose the path of self-destruction, as light, perhaps we could only respect that and leave." Tiga's voice grew louder, that long-lost, gentle yet incredibly resolute power returning to his body. "But now! They are not conscious at all!"
Tiga turned around and pointed to the yellow flowers that covered the city: "That's not a choice! That's poison! A neurotoxin that numbs the nerves and strips away reason! If we see our own people controlled by this poison, walking step by step into the abyss, and we stand idly by under the pretext of 'respecting choice,' then we don't deserve to be called guardians!"
"That's right!"
Camilla flicked her light whip, and the whip, which had dimmed due to the loss of faith, once again burst forth with extremely dazzling blue-white lightning.
She walked to Tiga's side, her cold gaze sweeping over the dark giants watching the spectacle from the sky: "I never care about any bullshit cosmic laws. I only know that since we possess power, since we stand here, we absolutely cannot let these lowly weeds decide the fate of this planet!"
"Hahaha! I've been holding back my anger for ages!" Darram slammed his fists together in front of his chest, producing a deafening metallic boom. His previously shriveled muscles swelled up again, and his glowing eyes shone with fanatical fighting spirit. "What illusions, what bliss, all bullshit! Only the feeling of my fists smashing into the faces of these Dark Giants is the most real!"
Hitler transformed into a streak of purple-silver light, instantly slicing through two enormous, newly sprouted buds of the Cigella flower beside him. He sneered, "That guy Kaul, he never tells the truth, but today his words have surprisingly struck a chord with me. Coward? I am the fastest warrior of the ancient times, who dares call me a coward?"
Not only Tiga's team, but also the ordinary guard giants who had been in despair and kneeling on the ground waiting to die, raised their heads after hearing what Kaul and Tiga said.
Yes, they are human!
Before they gained the power of light, they were just ordinary people who worried about daily necessities and risked their lives to protect their families.
Does gaining godlike power mean being stripped of human emotions and common sense?
On the communication channel, Youlian, who had been silent all along, let out a sigh.
"I understand..." Yu Lian's voice was no longer weary, but carried a resolute determination, "My precognition has trapped me in fatalism. Rules are dead, but life is vibrant. Everyone, listen up! The highest command of the Guard Regiment is hereby changed: completely destroy Zijera! Wake humanity from that damned dream!"
"I can't wait any longer!"
Kaul stood on Xiaoyan's shoulder, the Reonics Battle Device in his hand bursting out with an unprecedentedly dazzling red light. His dark red compound eyes, representing the awakening of the Reonics, were fixed on the blooming yellow flower fields in the city.
"You giants of light are good at slaying monsters, but when it comes to farm work, you'll have to leave it to our professional team!"
With a wave of his kingly cloak, Kaul roared, "Little Rock! Gedi! All monsters, listen up! Activate 'Weeding Mode'! Uproot any yellow flowers and burn them to ashes!"
"roar!!!"
Little Rock let out an extremely ferocious roar. This ancient fusion monster, which had been suppressed by Kaul for a long time, finally found the most suitable job for itself.
With a flap of its two wings, the massive body of the creature took flight.
"Let's use the energy beams to cleanse the ground!" Kaul issued the simplest and most direct order.
Xiao Yan's head instantly lit up with a purplish-red light, accompanied by golden lightning intertwining on his forehead. An extremely thick ray, a hybrid of the Melba Destruction Ray and the Golza Ultrasonic Wave, shot directly toward the densest field of Qijera flowers in the center of the city.
Flames soared into the sky.
The Qijiera that had been emitting hallucinogenic pollen just moments before were instantly reduced to charcoal under Xiaoyan's completely unreasonable barrage of fire. The golden pollen was completely incinerated the moment it came into contact with the high temperature, and the intoxicatingly sweet fragrance in the air was instantly replaced by the pungent smell of burning.
Not to be outdone, Gedi traversed the ruins with its 52-meter-tall body, smashing the trunk of a Zijera plant with a single claw, then opening its massive mouth and spewing out beams of light belonging to the monster of light, completely burning the roots that were trying to regrow into glassy crystals.
As for the other tamed monsters, Gakuma used his petrifying ray to turn swathes of Zijera into stone and then swept them to pieces with his tail, while Telestone burrowed directly into the ground, uprooted the poisonous plants, and threw them into the sea of fire.
This wasn't a battle at all; it was a one-sided "garden extermination" between the Reonics and the Monster Legion.
"How dare you destroy humanity's beautiful dream?!"
In mid-air, Karfa looked at the Zigela bodies that had been reduced to ashes, his face turning extremely grim.
Although he despised humans, he knew very well that Zijera was the most powerful weapon to undermine the beliefs of the Giants of Light. Once humans awoke, the Giants would regain their power, and his "Great Purge" plan would be subject to change.
"Stop that monster and that alien! Blast them to smithereens!" Karfa roared, conjuring an extremely large black-purple light wheel in his hand and hurling it at the fire-breathing Xiaoyan.
"Want to mess with him? Ask me first!"
Ultraman Tiga's figure appeared in mid-air in an instant.
"Zeppelio Ray!"
The dazzling white light, like dawn tearing through the night, collided violently with Karfa's black halo in mid-air.
A violent energy explosion rippled through the air, sending several dark giants flying.
