Chapter 296 Schrödinger's Cat, The Broken Deadly Situation
In the scene, Goga Yume stands in that devastated future, looking at the three living Falcon Team members in front of him, and then at the corpses covered with white sheets next to him.
The closed loop of fate felt incredibly heavy at this moment.
Captain Tian Dayan and his team knew their death was imminent, which is why they faced death without fear in every mission. They firmly believed that by accepting their fate of "sacrifice," they could ensure the safety of the air base and everyone else.
"If we cowardly flee from our fate, the future will be changed. It is because of our sacrifice that everyone can survive." The voice of the guard was very calm.
Just as this tragic atmosphere was about to engulf the audience in front of the screen, the alarm in the command room suddenly blared again!
On the big screen, the time-space monster El Robopa, who was supposed to die at this point in time, reappeared!
[What happened? Didn't the monster already die together with the Falcon Team?]
[Yeah, if the Falcon Team dies in this future, then the monster should die too!]
Is spacetime warped? Is this monster using a bug?
[As expected of a monster capable of manipulating time, it has turned this timeline into a complete mess.]
In the scene, as I dreamt of the monster reappearing, a flash of insight struck me like lightning. I turned abruptly to Captain Tian Dayan: "That's... it should have died in this world! Time has reversed, that's the proof!"
Captain Tian Dayan was also stunned: "What exactly happened?"
My Dream's eyes brightened; he finally saw through the monster's purpose: "This monster brought the three of you into this world because it wants to live! It wants to change the future that was annihilated by the Falcon Team!"
Upon hearing this, both the Falcon team in the show and the audience watching at home suddenly understood.
Holy crap! Even monsters are afraid of dying!
[So that's how it is! The monster also foresaw its own future where it and the Falcon Team would perish together, so it kept warping time and space, pulling the past Falcon Team into its path, trying to eliminate them ahead of time and change its own doom!]
[This monster is quite intelligent; it even knows how to defy fate?]
If even monsters can think about changing the future, why are the Falcon Team just waiting to die?
My Dream's emotions surged. Looking at the three people before him, he shouted, "Knowing the battle records left behind will definitely change the future!"
"Forget it, I'll stop dreaming." Captain Tian Dayan shook his head, his tone revealing a deep sense of helplessness.
"Do you know about Schrödinger's cat?" I didn't give up. He picked up a water glass from the table next to him. "Listen, this glass will break if it falls on the ground. But, if you realize it..."
Suddenly, I let go of the glass, and it fell vertically, but just before it shattered, I caught it steadily.
"In other words, there isn't just one future!"
Imu stared intently at Tatsuhiko, "So, you didn't actually have to sacrifice yourselves! If you made the wrong choice, everyone would have died!"
"What exactly caused the future to change?"
"It's willpower!"
"That's right, even if external conditions can't be changed, even if we have to give up, we still have to live actively! The choice is entirely up to us!"
These words were a wake-up call.
[It's getting exciting!]
[If the future can be observed, the future can be changed!]
[What fatalism? It's all just a paper tiger before the materialistic iron fist of the Warrior of Light!]
The choice is yours! With enough determination, you can break free from a deadlock!
Inspired by the will of my dream, the ashes in Captain Tian Dayan's eyes finally dissipated, and his fighting spirit was rekindled.
"Form a D-formation and surround the time-space monster! Concentrate your firepower on its wings!"
Three fighter jets immediately took off and engaged in fierce combat with Al Robopa in this distorted spacetime.
"Roger that! Begin the attack!"
A dense rain of lasers poured down on the monster.
However, Al Robopa had no intention of putting up a fight.
Just as the laser was about to hit, the monster's massive body twisted violently and disappeared from the radar!
"Disappeared from radar!"
"Time warp!"
The next second, the monster suddenly appeared behind the Falcon team and launched a surprise attack.
With his ability to freely travel through time, Al Robopa is like a ghost on the battlefield. The Falcon Team's attacks cannot lock onto their targets at all, and instead they are in grave danger from the monster's attacks.
Seeing his attacks repeatedly miss, Captain Tian Dayan gritted his teeth.
As he looked at the arrogant monster ahead, that sense of destiny welled up in his heart once again.
"How will we, in the future, defeat it?"
Tian Dayan slammed the control lever down. "That's it! Hao Shou, Lao Lin, attack me!"
"team leader?!"
"Laser won't work! Turn my machine into fuel to destroy it!" Captain Tatsuhiko roared, piloting his fighter straight into the monster.
He still chose to sacrifice himself to achieve victory!
"No! Captain Tian Dayan, you can't die!" I dreamt on the ground, my eyes bloodshot with rage.
[Captain, don't be impulsive! You were just persuaded by my dream, why did you go and deliver it again!]
[There's no other way; the monster's time-jumping ability is too unfair, it's impossible to hit it. The captain thinks this is the only way.]
[Oh no, is history going to repeat itself?]
"As expected, the future cannot be changed." Tian Dayan closed his eyes, preparing to face the final explosion.
At this critical moment.
"Please believe me, Captain Tian Dayan!"
With a deafening roar, a dazzling red light exploded in this space-time!
The earth trembled violently, and dust billowed into the sky.
Ultraman Gaia's enormous body stood like a god, firmly blocking the Falcon Team's fighter jets from the monsters!
【Gaia!!!】
[A savior! You can always trust Takayama Gamu!]
The Warrior of Light has arrived to shatter this damned fate!
As soon as Gaia landed, it shattered the ground with a powerful kick, transforming into a red afterimage that hurtled straight towards El Roboppa.
However, the monster was more troublesome than anyone had imagined.
Faced with Gaia's powerful punch, El Robbpa's two horns flashed with an eerie light, and his entire body instantly blurred.
Gaia's fist slammed into the air.
"Whoosh—"
The monster instantly appeared behind Gaia, its sharp claws striking Gaia's back with deadly force.
Gaia cried out in pain and staggered forward, falling to the ground.
Before he could even regain his footing, the monster vanished again, followed by a powerful energy beam that shot out from the time rift diagonally above, striking Gaia precisely in the chest.
How am I supposed to fight this? It's like it has a built-in dodge and teleport cheat!
[Time-related abilities are truly disgusting; you hit it and it jumps away, but its attacks are impossible to defend against.]
Gaia got its comeuppance!
Gaia knelt painfully on one knee, the color timer on her chest flashing rapidly.
The time-space monsters kept using time jumps to launch dimensional reduction attacks, and even I, in my dream, couldn't find any opportunity to fight back for a while.
Just as Gaia was in dire straits, Captain Tatsuhiko, suspended in mid-air, stared intently at the part of the monster that flickered before it disappeared each time.
"Protect Gaia! Attack the monster's tentacles!"
Years of combat experience allowed Tatsuhiko Tadahiko to keenly grasp the organs that enable monsters to unleash their abilities.
The Falcon team immediately turned their guns around, unleashing all the firepower of the three fighter jets on the horns of Al Robopa's head!
"boom!"
With a violent explosion, the tentacles on the monster's head that could distort the timeline were instantly destroyed!
Having lost his ability to time, El Robopa let out a painful howl as his body slammed heavily to the ground.
Well done! Captain, you're awesome!
[Your account has been banned for using cheats! Let's see how you try to bluff now!]
The time for retaliation has come! I dream, let's slash it!
Without any prompting, Gaia stood up the instant the monster's tentacle broke off.
The light on his chest shone brightly, and his red body was instantly replaced by an even more robust red and blue light!
Supreme Form!
Without uttering a single word, Gaia, while still in mid-air, crossed his hands at his lower abdomen and then made a large, sweeping motion to bring them flat in front of his chest to gather light energy. He then stretched his hands to the left and right as far as possible!
Flash Ice Blade!
A massive white, swirling blade of light tore through space and time, striking Al Robopa with pinpoint accuracy!
"BOOM—!!!"
At the moment spacetime collapsed, the monster was completely reduced to ashes in the blazing light.
"At 14 PM, the Time-Space Monster was annihilated!" Tian Dayan said in a low voice.
Sure enough, the ruins on the ground gradually disappeared.
The entire interdimensional spacetime is collapsing! A massive vortex appears in the sky, growing increasingly violent!
Guided by Gaia, the three fighter jets of the Falcon Team and my dream's EX finally broke out of that strange alternate dimension and returned to the normal sky.
Everything has returned to calm.
"Everyone has returned safely." Li Muzi breathed a long sigh of relief as she looked at the four bright spots flying steadily on the radar.
Commander Shi looked at the screen, a relieved smile appearing on his lips: "They annihilated the spacetime monster in the other dimension."
"They really changed their destiny!" Di Cheng exclaimed.
At that moment, the clock in the command room ticked away, the second hand moving toward the very moment that had once foreshadowed destruction.
The monster's phantom image reappeared above the aerial base!
"At 14 PM, the time-space monster was annihilated. The changes here happened exactly at 14 PM."
I dreamt I was looking at the timer on the fighter jet, "5 seconds left."
4...
3...
2...
1...
Time quietly slipped past 14 PM.
The phantom and vortex in the air have disappeared...
The air base remained safely floating in the clouds, and nothing happened.
Looking at the calm dial, a radiant smile finally bloomed on my face: "It's gone. We succeeded. We really did change the future."
"That's right, there is absolutely no predetermined future."
As this powerful line was spoken, the stirring ending theme song slowly began to play. Episode 32 concluded with this joy of breaking through fate.
……
After this episode aired, discussion forums and online communities on major video platforms exploded instantly.
If the previous episode was just a bland transition, then this episode's exploration of "time, destiny, and will" elevates the core of the plot to a new level.
In related online forums, a poster provided a detailed timeline of the episode, which immediately sparked heated discussions among many fans.
[This episode was absolutely brilliant!! That Schrödinger's cat theory segment in my dream gave me goosebumps. The foreseen future isn't unique; as long as you 'observe' it and take action, you can change it. Gu Laozei (a nickname for a certain actor) understands quantum mechanics!]
Thinking about it carefully, this monster truly brought this upon itself. If it hadn't repeatedly warped time and dragged the Falcon Team back in order to change its fate of being killed, the Falcon Team would never have experienced this battle in advance, and therefore wouldn't have accumulated any combat experience. It was precisely because it kept going back in time that the Falcon Team discovered the weakness in its tentacles! This is called the perfect paradox of fatalism.
Indeed, the act of trying to change one's fate becomes the very reason fate comes to pass. This monster's actions are a classic case of shooting itself in the foot.
To be fair, Captain Tian Dayan's character is really well-developed. He saw the future years ago and knew he would die. How desperate would that be for an ordinary person?
But he didn't run away; instead, he always took on the most dangerous missions. He felt that since his death was predetermined, he wouldn't die before then, so he could do everything in his power to protect others. This sense of responsibility, so detached from life and death, is truly moving.
These three guys from Falcon Team are truly tough men. They knew that sacrificing themselves would save the base, so they didn't hesitate to die. If I hadn't intervened, history would have followed its predetermined path.
The core of this episode is actually "willpower." As Gamu said, no matter how harsh the external conditions are, as long as the will remains, there is no predetermined ending. The monsters have the will to survive, the Falcon Team has the will to sacrifice, but Gamu brought the will to "break the deadlock and save everyone!" This is the meaning of the Warriors of Light's existence!
This episode uses a science fiction framework to encapsulate a classic philosophical proposition: human will can conquer nature. While the monster can manipulate time, it cannot manipulate humanity's determination to defy fate!
