Chapter 404 A Fateful Showdown! The Guardian Deity of the Mountain!
Accompanied by tense and urgent background music, the situation in the video instantly became extremely tense.
The warm atmosphere in the dilapidated wooden house was completely shattered by a series of chaotic footsteps outside the door.
"Armed men are here! What do we do?"
Sakura and the other children heard the noise and peeked out to see what was happening.
However, they quickly came up with a plan.
They covered the mountain child's head with a colorful cloth from the hut, and then several children and Rena surrounded the mountain child in the middle, treating him like some kind of cargo being transported.
Sure enough, the group met on the way.
The village chief stormed in with a group of fully armed members of the hunting club, each carrying a shotgun.
"Why are you still here?"
The village chief immediately spotted Rena blocking the way, and found it strange to see him mingling with the children.
"We know where the giant ape is! Get out of our way and don't get in our way!"
However, the village chief soon noticed something was wrong with the "big guy" escorting the children!
So they quickly gathered everyone to give chase and intercept them.
But Rena and the children were agile and ran faster, leaving the village and everyone else behind.
The live chat exploded instantly.
[Hilarious! The mountain boy is so innocent, he even reaches out to offer fruit!]
The troublemakers in tokusatsu dramas never disappoint; they even manage to create conflict.
[I'm staying in Bengbu, this part is hilarious!]
Just as the two sides were in pursuit...
"BOOM—!!!"
A violent earthquake suddenly struck, and the entire mountain seemed to tremble in the terrifying tremor.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening, terrifying roar that seemed to tear the sky apart exploded in the direction of the village.
A huge figure appeared on the hilltop!
"Mahagnom has appeared in Origao Village! Repeat! Mahagnom has appeared in Origao Village!"
Everyone turned around abruptly.
Through the window of the wooden house, one could see the ancient demon Mahagnom, over sixty meters tall and crimson in color, waving its thick arms and approaching Origao Village step by step with a heart full of rage.
The trees along the way were easily crushed by it, like weeds.
The hunters, who had just been swaggering around with guns and shouting for battle, were instantly terrified when they saw this real ancient god of destruction.
"Ah! It's Mahagra! Run!"
"A monster is coming! Help!"
The adults, who were fierce and menacing just a moment ago, scrambled out of the door, their hunting rifles long since thrown to the winds, wishing they had two more legs.
[That's hilarious, they ran away already.]
[He was all talk and no action; if he actually saw a demon, he'd run faster than anyone else!]
These older men aren't even as strong as these kids!
[The top-tier special effects fighters are the kids!]
In the chaos, with the evil spirits closing in, falling rocks and collapsed trees instantly blocked the path down the mountain.
"roar--!"
A deafening roar came from the direction of the wooden house.
Suddenly, the mountain boy, who was originally only a little over two meters tall, burst forth with dazzling light.
Its body rapidly expanded and grew larger in the light!
In the blink of an eye, a gigantic monster, no less large than Mahagom, suddenly descended upon the center of the battlefield!
With a sudden burst of power from his legs, the mountain boy's massive body slammed into Mahagnom like a cannonball, sending the red demon flying hundreds of meters back and protecting the children and village chief behind him.
"Even a mountain spirit has appeared?!"
The police officer's eyes widened.
An ancient, fateful battle spanning hundreds of years has begun once again on this mountain of monsters!
The mountain child roared angrily, waving its thick, brown-haired arms and colliding heavily with Mahagnom.
The two enormous creatures engaged in a brutal hand-to-hand combat, each punch landing with a dull thud.
However, the mountain boy had lived in the deep mountains for many years and had a gentle nature; he had not been in such a life-or-death struggle for a long time.
But Mahagnom is a vicious demon!
After several rounds, Mahagnom gradually gained the upper hand with his more ferocious strength and fierce fighting skills.
It seized an opening in the mountain boy's defenses, opened its blood-red maw, and bit down hard on the mountain boy's horn.
"Waaah—"
The mountain boy let out a painful howl as his massive body was slammed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
"Mountain Child!"
"Come on, Yamawaro! Come on! Stand up!"
Watching the mountain children struggling to protect them, the children hiding in the distance shouted themselves hoarse, tears streaming down their faces.
At this moment, an even more ridiculous scene unfolded.
The villagers and village chief, who had just been clamoring to kill the giant ape with guns, now looked at the mountain child protecting the village and exclaimed how despicable he was.
"Why did this monster have to appear the day before the festival...?"
Suddenly, an old man with a cane walked out with faltering steps, picked up the cane and hit the village chief on the head!
"I told you not to widen the road! I told you not to disturb the ancestral hall!"
"Ah? Elder!"
The villagers also opened their eyes wide.
The elder pointed at the red demon and shouted, "That's the legendary Mahaghra, the evil creature capable of destroying the entire country! Quickly, call upon the Mountain God!"
So, the adults actually joined the children in waving flags and shouting.
"Go! Go! Mountain God!"
"Charge! Mountain God!"
[I've moved to Bengbu, but I don't recognize the mountain god I worship.]
[This face-changing speed is so fast, even a Sichuan opera master would have to kowtow twice!]
[Just now you were about to kill them, but now you're calling them Mountain God.]
[The legends have all disappeared; no wonder I didn't recognize them.]
The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable.
Despite the cheers and encouragement of the entire village, the difference in strength was undeniable. The mountain boy was once again heavily knocked to the ground by Mahagnom, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Just when everyone was in despair.
The camera pans across the edge of the crowd.
Musashi, who had been idly playing around for the entire episode, suddenly became serious upon seeing the critical situation before him.
While everyone's attention was on the monster, he quietly turned around and slipped into the nearby woods.
This scene was keenly observed by Rena, who was not far away.
"Musashi?"
Rena blinked in confusion, seemingly sensing something amiss. But the battle was urgent, and she didn't have time to think about it further.
Deep in the forest, Musashi raised the Sun and Moon Shining Together, radiating a gentle light.
"Gauss—!"
Accompanied by a shout that pierced the sky, a dazzling blue beam of light rose from the ground!
Ultraman Cosmos makes a dazzling appearance!
Professional boosting services are now available!
Master Gao has come to the rescue!
[After a whole episode of just going through the motions, it's finally time to wrap things up!]
[Master Gao's Daily 1V2]
No, this time it's 2v1!
A blue giant of light descended from the sky and landed steadily beside the mountain child.
Gauss gently reached out and helped the mountain boy up from the ground.
What was originally a disadvantageous one-on-one situation instantly turned into a righteous two-on-one battle.
Seeing Gauss arrive to help, the mountain child's fighting spirit was rekindled. It pounded its chest, let out a battle roar, and pounced on Mahagnom once again.
"Go Gauss! Go Gauss! Go Yamawaro!"
The onlookers below shouted even louder.
Gauss showed no mercy to the ferocious demon.
He knew that the Moon God form was insufficient to deal with this ancient beast, which was born purely for destruction.
Gauss crossed his arms in front of him, and his azure body was instantly enveloped in a ball of blazing red flames.
Corona Mode, Switch!
Corona Gauss, radiating a berserk power, lunged forward and delivered a heavy chop to Mahagnom's shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, Gauss grabbed the demon's head and horns with both hands, and with a sudden burst of power from his waist, he executed a clean and decisive over-the-shoulder throw, sending the 60,000-ton Mahagnom flying hundreds of meters away!
"boom!"
A huge crater was smashed into the ground.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Corona Gauss gathered extremely terrifying high-temperature energy in front of him with both arms, preparing to unleash his ultimate move—the Nebuster Ray—to completely incinerate this evil spirit.
However, just as Gauss was about to fire the beam...
A series of drumbeats, full of exotic tribal flavor and with a strong rhythm, suddenly echoed across the battlefield.
Gauss was stunned. He turned his head and looked at the mountain boy next to him with a puzzled expression.
Instead of pressing its advantage, the mountain child closed its eyes and began to twist its massive and rugged body to the sound of the eerie drum.
Waving its arms and stepping to a strange rhythm, it actually performed a very funny, even somewhat cringe-worthy dance in front of Gauss and the whole village!
Gauss raised his hands high, his energy fully charged, but he was now suspended in mid-air, staring blankly at his teammates.
[War dance? Is this to cheer on Gauss?]
[I've already prepared my ultimate move, and you're just here doing breakdancing?!]
[A rock 'n' roll monkey dancing, huh?]
The villagers on the ground were also dumbfounded.
The children then explained the meaning of the dance:
"If this is the village's legendary sacrificial dance and music, the mountain god will surely prevail in the end! It will destroy the evil spirit Mahaghra!"
Sure enough, several elders from the other side of the village shouted excitedly:
"The Mountain God is about to seal away Mahakala! This is the legendary sacrificial dance and music!"
As the dance progressed, rings of sacred golden light emanated from the mountain child's body.
Then the mountain child hugged the red demon!
The light was like an invisible shackle, precisely enveloping Mahagnom in the distance.
Under the influence of this magical ancient sealing power, the originally ferocious red demon let out a miserable scream of resentment.
Its body began to shrink rapidly in the golden light, eventually turning into a lifeless stone, which was then firmly sealed back underground.
The crisis was thus completely resolved in an extremely dramatic and unbelievable way.
The battle ended, and Ultraman Cosmos vanished into countless specks of light.
The mountain child also returned to its original size of over two meters tall.
The last rays of the setting sun shone on the ruins of Origao Village.
Although the village was destroyed, everyone survived.
The village chief straightened his clothes, a smug look on his face, and shouted to the policeman beside him, "Officer, the festival will proceed as scheduled tomorrow, you hear me!"
This old man's face must be made of city walls!
[The classic saying is: "Once the wound heals, the pain is forgotten."]
At least now we know who is being worshipped!
Not far away, Sakura's gaze fell on the mountain boy sitting quietly to the side.
"Listen to me, everyone."
Sakura's voice was soft yet firm.
"I always tell everyone that when I grow up, I want to build a big house for abandoned cats and dogs so they can live together."
The children listened quietly.
"That home was a large family that could still accommodate children from the mountains."
Sakura looked at Yamawaro, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes, but mostly a sense of relief.
"But for now, let the mountain boy go back to the mountains."
She understood that even though the elite youth team had the most comprehensive protective facilities, and even though there were children in the city who loved it.
But the mountain child is the guardian deity of the mountain of monsters. Being far from his homeland and enshrined in human temples or protected areas is not freedom, but another kind of imprisonment.
Only the mountains are its true home.
Sakura nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
As everyone watched him go, the mountain boy slowly turned around and, with clumsy steps, walked back into the lush, verdant mountains.
Musashi stood at the back of the crowd, watching the mountain boy's departing figure, a relieved smile appearing on his lips.
He knew that as long as this innocence and kindness remained, humans and monsters would one day meet again in a brighter future.
As the melodious ending theme song played, this fairytale-like episode slowly came to a close.
