Chapter 156 The Frozen Despair! When the Light Fades!
This is Dyna's second time fighting in the deep sea.
With the experience gained from filming the battle against the deep-sea dragon, Light Chaser Animation's current filming methods for underwater battles can deliver maximum shock and realism to the audience.
This led Gu Nan to expand the battle scenes with more detail and richer content in order to better showcase Reijubas's power and expressiveness.
The moment he entered the water, the immense resistance slowed Dyna's movements.
At that moment, Reijubas's enormous pincers were about to clamp down on Miyako and her crew's submarine, seemingly intending to crush it like opening a can.
Seeing this, Dyna did not hesitate at all.
He adjusted his posture in the water, then kicked off with both legs, like a red torpedo, and charged straight at the monster.
"just--!"
The muffled battle cries turned into a deep rumble in the water.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Dyna delivered a powerful punch that slammed into Reijubas's carapace.
boom!
This punch was powerful and heavy, and even in the water, it stirred up a huge undercurrent.
Reijubas winced in pain, and the enormous pincers involuntarily loosened for a moment.
"Now!"
Dyna reacted quickly, grabbing the submarine and shielding it behind him, while simultaneously using his other hand to firmly hold back the monster's other giant pincers as it swung towards him.
The two sides engaged in a struggle in the deep sea.
This monster is incredibly powerful!
Even Dyna, who possesses superhuman strength, felt a bit strained at this moment.
Reijubas let out a strange cry, and his red eyes suddenly lit up.
Immediately afterwards, a fireball shot out from its mouth!
Even in the low-temperature environment of the deep sea, the power of this move is not diminished at all!
Even the surrounding seawater evaporated!
It's easy to imagine that the rising temperatures and melting glaciers in Antarctica are also caused by this monster!
Dyna felt a surge of intense heat and was blasted away!
Holy crap! This monster can breathe fire?!
Is this a case of extreme contrasts?
This monster looks like a giant lobster!
……
The audience's concerns soon became a reality.
Reijubas is clearly an extremely powerful opponent, and the underwater world is his home turf, so Dyna has no chance of gaining an advantage.
Moreover, an even greater sense of despair came from the sky.
The Kurak call sign has been completely taken over by Schum.
The artificial sun that was being pulled is falling at an accelerated rate.
Through the communication channel came Zhongdao's desperate cry: "No! We can't regain control! The artificial sun will crash into Antarctica! Not only will Ice City melt, but the entire Antarctic continent will be submerged! The resulting tsunami will engulf half the Earth!"
Beset by internal and external troubles!
A formidable foe lurks beneath the sea, while an apocalyptic crisis looms overhead.
Meanwhile, Ryo and Mai, trapped inside the submarine, looked at the huge figure blocking their way and were filled with emotion and worry.
"Dyna..." Kawamai clasped her hands together and prayed silently.
But the reality is cruel.
Reijubas exerted his strength again, and the huge pincers clamped down hard on Dyna's neck!
"just……"
Dyna let out a painful groan and was immediately subdued.
The viewers in front of their screens were on the edge of their seats.
Is this the malice of the "previous chapter"?
This isn't a battle; it's a one-sided massacre!
[No! Dyna, stand up!]
This monster is too unfair; its home-field advantage is too great!
The artificial sun is about to crash down, and Dyna is trapped. How can they turn the tide?
[You heartless scoundrel Gu! Showing us this during the Lunar New Year!]
At this critical moment, Dyna made an amazing move.
He stopped trying to break free from the monster's grip and instead grabbed Reichubas's body tightly.
The light from his entire body began to converge.
Since we can't beat you in the water, we'll take you up here!
Despite the excruciating pain of his neck being clamped by the pincers, Dyna kicked off the seabed with both legs, propelling the enormous monster through the thick ice like a rocket, and bursting out of the water!
Crash—!!!
A huge spray of water shot into the sky.
Two enormous creatures tumbled and landed on the Antarctic ice sheet.
At this moment, the battlefield finally shifted from the deep sea to the land.
But the crisis was not over.
Because the artificial sun controlled by Schum had now become a giant fireball, hanging in space, radiating devastating heat.
......
At this moment, in the real world.
Having just finished watching this episode, Su Zhe was at his hometown, nestled on the sofa, looking at his phone screen filled with "I feel sorry for Dyna" and "Gu Laozei, have some decency!", and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"Director Gu went too far with that..."
Su Zhe clicked his tongue. "Luckily, when they were filming Ultraman Tiga, they didn't make me suffer in a godforsaken place like the flooded base."
To be honest, seeing Zhang Ye, in his human form, having to fight a group of disgusting, slimy half-fish soldiers in a flooded base, Su Zhe felt a pang of sympathy for him.
Although it was mostly schadenfreude~~
However, looking at the rapidly rising trending topics such as #DynaAntarcticBattle# and #DynaSeason1FinalePremiere#, Su Zhe couldn't help but admire them.
Director Gu really knows how to manipulate the audience's emotions.
Where is this?
Thinking about the even more explosive plot twists in the later parts of the script, Su Zhe couldn't help but silently mourn for the audience for three seconds.
"Brothers, hang in there, the bigger ones are yet to come..."
……
The oppressive feeling of being on the verge of suffocation underwater made everyone hold their breath, and it wasn't until Dyna stood tall in the wind and snow that the audience felt alive again.
Dyna has finally reached land!
However, the battle didn't give the audience much of a chance to catch their breath.
"scare!"
As soon as Dyna landed, without pausing for a moment, he stood up and delivered a powerful chop to the giant red crab in front of him!
when!
A deafening clang, like metal clashing, rang out.
Dyna's chop struck Reijubas's thick red carapace, sending sparks flying. Dyna himself was jolted awake, his wrist going numb, and he stumbled back two steps.
[What a hard shell! This monster's defense must be maxed out!]
This crab looks delicious... wait, it looks so hard!
[Rechubas: You think I'm one of those fragile monsters from before? I'm the ruler of the Arctic!]
Reijubas was clearly enraged by the sudden appearance of this giant.
It waved its huge claws, let out a roar, and then its shelled mouth suddenly opened wide.
call--!
This time, instead of the previous fireballs, it spewed out a thick stream of scorching fire!
The red flames were particularly dazzling against the backdrop of ice and snow, and the high temperature instantly evaporated the surrounding snow, turning it into a sky full of white mist.
Dyna reacted extremely quickly, rolling to the side and narrowly avoiding the stream of fire.
The flames struck the iceberg behind them, causing it to explode instantly, sending countless shards of ice flying in all directions like cannonballs.
Although he avoided being hit directly, the shockwave from the explosion still knocked Dyna to the ground.
Despite its enormous size, Reijubas was surprisingly agile. Utilizing the slippery terrain of the ice field, it moved swiftly like an ice skater, its massive claws slamming down on Dyna like two battering rams.
In the Shiny type, Dyna is clearly at a disadvantage in terms of power.
Since we can't win by force, let's use light!
Dyna created some distance, clearly preparing to unleash his ultimate attack.
However, just as Dyna crossed his arms, preparing to fire the Solgent Ray—
The GUTS team members watching the game from the base suddenly heard Scium's loli voice!
"If you think Reijubas only possesses the power of fire, you're mistaken!"
Reijubas's eyes, which had been flashing red, suddenly turned eerily ice blue!
It suddenly opened its mouth wide, but instead of gathering heat as before, it spewed out a chilling blast of air.
That's absolute zero freezing air!
Cold is a weakness of Ultraman, a warrior of light!
"call--!!!"
The white, cold current roared out like a blizzard, moving at an astonishing speed.
Before Dyna could even fire his beam, the cold air had already hit them!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!
Extreme cold instantly enveloped Dyna's entire body.
A thick layer of frost was visibly formed on its red, blue, and silver body.
Dyna tried to struggle, trying to wave his arms to dispel the cold, but his movements became increasingly stiff, and his joints made a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound.
Something's wrong! This monster can change its attributes!
[Dual cultivation of ice and fire? This guy must be a mage!]
[Dyna, run! Don't try to tough it out!]
Oh no, this air conditioning looks terrifying!
Less than three seconds had passed.
Dyna remained with his arms crossed, completely encased in a thick layer of ice!
Those eyes, which once radiated a warm light, remained unchanged beneath the ice.
That's because the extreme cold, like absolute zero, completely locked Dyna's body in place at that moment!
The colored timer on his chest flashed red a few times, then stopped completely, stuck in red, and was subsequently covered by ice and snow.
The wind and snow of Antarctica howled past.
On the icy plain, only a huge, lifeless ice sculpture of Ultraman remains, standing alone between heaven and earth.
Rechubas let out a triumphant roar, waving its enormous claws as if to announce its victory to the whole world.
Behind it, Schum's chilling laughter seemed to pierce through the screen, echoing in the ears of every viewer:
"Light? Before absolute wisdom and power, it is nothing more than a fleeting spark."
"Humans! May you sink to the bottom of the sea along with your shallow civilization!"
"Then, Earth will completely transform into a water planet, becoming my paradise!"
The image freezes on this scene of despair.
Facing Scium and Reciubas, the Victory team seemed to have no solution...
As the slightly melancholic variation of the end credits song began, the screen gradually went black...
End of episode.
……
"That's it...? We lost?"
In the old guest room, Old Tang stared blankly at the blacked-out computer screen, oblivious to the sunflower seeds falling from his mouth onto his red cotton-padded jacket.
The chat room was in an uproar.
[I don't believe it! How could Dyna lose so badly!]
[Did it freeze into an ice pop?]
[Wow! What a Showa-era setting! Ultraman being afraid of the cold has reappeared here!]
[You old scoundrel! You're showing us this right after the New Year?]
[The person who said they wouldn't hand out knives, come out here! This is like putting a knife to someone's throat!]
[It's over, the base has been hacked, Ultraman has been banned, how are we going to turn this around?]
Looking at the screen full of comments, Lao Tang finally came to his senses.
"Brothers! Hold on! Everyone hold on!"
Old Tang leaned closer to the microphone, a profound and unfathomable expression on his face that suggested he had seen through everything, though it looked somewhat comical against his slightly greasy face and rustic background.
"I know everyone is panicking right now, feeling like this is a dead end. But!"
Old Tang held up a finger and shook it in front of the camera, "We need to see beyond the surface! I'm very familiar with this move by that old scoundrel Gu!"
"Think about it, what is this? This is the prelude to the first season finale of 'Dyna'! Following the formula of tokusatsu dramas, you know how to build suspense before building suspense? The more intense the suspense now, the higher the suspense will be later!"
Old Tang cleared his throat and began his "professional analysis".
"First of all, although Dyna is frozen, is he dead? He didn't shatter, right? As long as he's not completely obliterated, it's just an abnormal status! It's just a debuff!"
"Secondly, don't forget the title of this episode—'The Mobile Fortress Cannot Surface.' What's the key point? It's the artificial sun!"
Old Tang became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had already received the script.
"Isn't that Schum trying to use an artificial sun? This gives us an opportunity! What is light? Light is heat! Dyna is the Giant of Light; he contains limitless energy!"
"I'm making a bold prediction! In the next episode, Super GUTS will definitely use some high-tech means, or even just that artificial sun, to reflect light onto Dyna!"
"When the heat is amplified, with a 'crack,' the ice layer will shatter, and Dyna will be fully revived! And there's a high probability he'll evolve into some new form, or a powerful powerhouse, smashing that crab shell to pieces with a single punch!"
"As for that squid monster, Schum?"
Old Tang scoffed dismissively, "The villains who brag about their high IQ usually end up dying the worst. I bet five cents it'll be killed by its own so-called 'wisdom' in the end!"
Old Tang, I don't trust your milk...
[But this time it sounds reasonable? Using the sun to thaw?]
Don't believe him! Old Tang's words are a lie!
I also think Dyna is definitely not dead, but it's definitely not that simple!
Seeing the skeptical comments in the live chat, Old Tang patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry! This is during the Spring Festival! No matter how ruthless Gu Laozei is, he wouldn't actually kill off the protagonist during the Spring Festival, right? This is definitely setting the stage for the big counterattack in the next episode!"
"This is a do-or-die situation! The next episode is guaranteed to be a thrilling one! Trust me, Old Tang, you won't regret it!"
However, at this moment, the confident Old Tang was unaware of this.
He guessed the beginning correctly—Dyna would indeed be resurrected.
But he completely misjudged the process.
That will be an even more desperate and brutal battle than this one, a true fight to the death where everyone has to risk their lives.

Jinghai City, Chasing Light Film Studio.
Gu Nan looked at the surge in comments and discussion in the background.
"If they don't experience the bone-chilling cold and despair, how can they appreciate how warm and dazzling the light breaking through the darkness will be in the next episode?"
