Chapter 1048: Monster Appears, Darkness Descends

"Brother, I still don't understand. My brothers and I have tried so hard to protect the earth and humans, why do they still lack a sense of security?"

Taro lowered his head and looked at the coffee table in front of him. He still couldn't understand the human's thoughts.

It is understandable that we pursue the power to protect ourselves, but can the power developed today really be used to protect ourselves?

Star-destroying weapons sound powerful, but they cannot be used on Earth, and the enemies that humanity is currently facing all have their battlefields on Earth.

In this case, what is the point of researching star-level weapons? Besides, star-level weapons have already been researched by others, isn't that enough?

“Perhaps this sense of security does not come from the starry sky, but from within human beings?”

Looking at Taro who was puzzled in front of him, Gu Chen said quietly.

Just like a word that awakened a dreamer, Gu Chen's words directly opened up a new idea for Taylor.

Yes, the Earth is different from the Kingdom of Light. There are many different political systems and regimes, and there are constant conflicts between different ideologies. Sometimes you must have what others have. If you don’t have it, it means you are lagging behind others, and if you lag behind, you will be beaten.

"So, this is why this country is still keen on researching star-destroying weapons, just because this country didn't have star-destroying weapons before?"

Taro suddenly raised his head and looked over, then spoke in an incredulous tone.

"Perhaps."

Gu Chen said calmly.

In fact, now that things have happened, there is not much point in pursuing these issues, but this still has a certain meaning for Taro.

At least it can help him understand more about the diversity of the human species.

Then, after staying with Gu Chen for a while, Taro returned to the Ultra Badge in a confused state and chose an Ultraman to stay.

And Dong Kotaro didn't stay with Gu Chen for long. He said goodbye and left after Taro disappeared.

Afterwards, the defense forces of various countries began to discuss the battle plan against the monster Mururoa. The ZAT team was no exception. Without Gu Chen's participation, they also formulated a battle plan.

As for Gu Chen, because the risk of fighting was too high, he was kept in the base at the strong request of everyone, and stayed with representatives of the Earth Defense Force from other countries to control the changes in the battlefield situation.

Now, we just have to wait for Mururoa to show up again.

Time passed quietly, and as a ray of light appeared on the horizon, the sun slowly climbed up the sky, bringing warm sunshine to the devastated city, as if the disaster had completely passed and people were about to usher in a new life.

But these were all illusions. As the sun rose, Mururoa, who hated light so much, also appeared.

At this moment, Mururoa has been strengthened by the black gas. Although there is no change in appearance, it gives people a more oppressive feeling than before.

As soon as Mururoa appeared, he let out a roar that shook the earth.

Immediately afterwards, before the members of the Earth Defense Force could react, a large amount of thick black fog gushed out from the holes all over his body.

In just a blink of an eye, the black smoke had covered the city, completely blocking the rising sun, and plunging the city into darkness.

However, this is not the end. The black smoke covering the city continued to expand its coverage area under Mururoya's continued efforts, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

Soon, satellites from European countries discovered the anomaly, and shrill alarms began to sound wildly in Earth Defense Force bases across the country.

Then, Asia, Africa, North America, South America... finally, the skies of the five continents and four oceans on the earth were covered by black smoke, the sunlight was blocked, and the whole world fell into darkness.

For a moment, Gu Chen's communicator was about to explode. The Earth Defense Force and national leaders from all over the world sent messages to ask what was going on, because this was obviously not a natural phenomenon.

And soon, people discovered that the black smoke covering the sky was also toxic, and people who were exposed to such black smoke for a long time would be poisoned and die.

As a result, the first to suffer are all kinds of homeless vagrants, and then passers-by who are out and about and do not have time to find a hiding place.

But fortunately, due to the presence of black smoke, people did not dare to stay on the streets, so it did not cause greater chaos.

However, this situation cannot last too long. If it continues for a long time, it will lead to very serious consequences.

The collapse of order and the decline of morality are minor issues; whether the entire human civilization can continue is a question.

After all, humans cannot live without the sun, and the earth cannot live without the sun.

"According to the news sent back by satellites and space stations of various countries, the Earth has been completely covered by the black smoke released by Mururoa, completely blocking out the sunlight!"

Inside the joint operations room, Zhao Zhiming reported the latest situation to everyone with a serious expression.

"The combat troops have already taken off and will soon launch an attack on the monster Mururoa! As long as it is destroyed, the black smoke covering the entire world will naturally disappear, right?"

Representatives of the Earth Defense Force of other countries also frowned, because this incident has affected the normal lives of their people.

And it wasn't just this Earth Defense Force representative. The Earth Defense Force members who had not responded to Staff Officer Sandy's call for help for various reasons also set out to a European country to cause trouble for monsters.

At this point, Mururoa is no longer a matter of a single European country, but a threat that all countries on the planet need to face.

But the next second...

"Sir, this is bad! Mururoa has disappeared again!"

A communicator took off his headphones in a panic, looked at the commanders of the Earth Defense Forces of various countries standing together, and shouted.

"What?! Disappeared?! How did it disappear?! Where did it go?!"

Upon hearing this, Staff Officer Sandy's face changed and he asked hurriedly.

"According to the intelligence sent back by the front line, Mururoa disappeared suddenly. And because the environment was too dark, the front-line personnel were unable to lock onto Mururoa's figure. After he disappeared, they immediately lost track of the target's location."

The communicator responded immediately.

"Turn on all the searchlights that can be turned on!"

Staff Officer Shandi immediately gave an order that since the darkness interfered with their vision, they should use light to dispel the darkness.

Following an order from Staff Officer Sandy, all the lights in the city were turned on.

But then, the bright lights quickly attracted a large number of cosmic moths.
