Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

At this moment, the image that appeared on the large screen in the command room attracted everyone's attention. The huge Sodem was lying quietly on the ground, its breathing becoming unusually heavy.

This phenomenon surprised everyone present, especially Kariya, who couldn't help but cry out, "Strange, Sodem seems to have fallen asleep!"

Normally, the breathing of large creatures or monsters is regular, even ferocious monsters are no exception. However, the breathing of this Sodem was particularly heavy, which was really abnormal.

Everyone in front of the big screen looked at each other, not knowing how to explain this situation.

Seeing this, Kibi Gosuke decisively issued an order: "In that case, then you should come back first! We need to discuss the battle plan again."

Kariya immediately responded, "Understood!" Then he quickly returned to the base in a Type 07 transport plane.

Just as everyone was discussing Sodom's unusual behavior, the monitoring data suddenly changed dramatically. The data on the screen showed that the energy in Sodom's body was fluctuating rapidly.

Just as everyone was holding their breath, Sodem suddenly opened his eyes and spit out a stream of blazing flame from his mouth. The high temperature of the flame instantly ignited the surrounding air.

However, surprisingly, after Sodem spit out the flames, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep as if nothing had happened.

"It's really strange. Why did Sodem give me the illusion that he was sneezing just now!" Liang stared at the monster's actions with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Zhao Ming nodded and said, "Indeed, Sodem is sneezing. He must have caught a cold, which is causing his body temperature to rise steadily, just like when a person has a cold and a fever."

"I was saying it felt strange, except for a monster that only wanted to cause destruction. How could a being as powerful as Sodom stay under the base for days without moving?"

"Ryo, let's go to the command room and listen to Captain Xibi and the others' battle plan!"

"Hmm..." After Zhao Ming and Liang talked for a while, they walked towards the command room side by side.

Inside the Super Victory Team command room, everyone sat around the conference table. Nakajima was standing in front of a map on the large screen, explaining the situation in detail: "Although Sodem is currently asleep, Asayama City is only 5 kilometers away.

If this high-temperature monster breaks into the city, it will inevitably cause fires and gas pipeline explosions, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, we must find a way to eliminate it before Sodom arrives in the city! "

"Is there no other way except to destroy it?" Kariya raised his objection. He believed that Sodem might not be an evil monster.

Nakajima immediately retorted, "Although Sodom may be a guardian deity in legend, its body temperature is so high that it can't prevent a volcanic eruption. It would only make the volcanic activity more frequent!"

"Captain Nakajima, your remarks have not been subject to a detailed investigation, so I disagree with your conclusion." The door of the command room slowly opened, and Zhao Ming and Liang walked in together.

Seeing the two people come in, Xibi Gangsuke smiled and gestured for them to sit down, "You've come at the right time, then tell me what you think."

Zhao Ming stood up and said seriously, "After careful observation, Liangyi and I believe that the reason for Sodem's abnormal body temperature is not because it is evil, but because it has a cold. It may actually be kind. We should try to treat it first instead of destroying it directly."

After hearing this, Nakajima frowned slightly, obviously not convinced by Zhao Ming's point of view. He was about to open his mouth to refute but was interrupted by Zhao Ming raising his hand.

Zhao Ming continued, "Listen to me first. After preliminary analysis, we found that Sodom has a special rock storage organ in its body, which can dissolve the lava it consumes into mud.

This explains why its body emits such a high temperature. In other words, Sodom mainly feeds on the metamorphic rocks inside the volcano, digging channels to drain the magma and reduce the risk of volcanic eruptions. This is why it is called the 'Messenger of the God of Fire'.

After hearing Zhao Ming's explanation, Nakajima's eyes suddenly lit up and he understood the reason in an instant.

Kibi Gosuke said with a look of doubt on his face: "But such a big monster can also catch a cold?" This question made him very confused. After all, in his cognition, colds seemed to be a disease that only humans could get.

Nakajima smiled slightly at this and continued to explain, "Captain, this is actually very easy to understand. Sodom is a creature that has lived near volcanoes for a long time, and the environment it lives in is always high temperature.

The earthquake a few days ago triggered crustal movement, causing it to be trapped near the underground pillars below the base. Now that winter is approaching, the surface temperature has become extremely low, which is a huge contrast to the high temperature environment it is accustomed to.

So, like humans, Sodom can't adapt to these large temperature changes and catches a cold."

He paused and continued, "Also, Sodom's body temperature quickly soared to 2500 degrees, also because its body structure and physiology are different from ours."

Zhao Ming explained this from another perspective: "From a paleontological perspective, all living things cannot escape the fate of birth, aging, illness and death, and even the Earth on which we humans depend is no exception.

The Earth also has its own lifespan. If we compare the path of magma flow to the Earth's blood and blood vessels, then only in this way can the Earth generate heat and form a magnetic field, providing an environment for the survival of all living things.

The existence of Sodom is like the Earth's 'blood vessel cleaner', its function is to unclog the Earth's blood vessels, preventing them from clogging and bursting, thus causing harm to humans on the surface of the Earth."

Zhao Ming's words gave Kibi Kosuke and Nakajima a deeper understanding of Sodem's existence.

Kariya said thoughtfully, "From another perspective, Sodem is like a child of the Earth. When I was in college, I read a book called 'The Story of Life,' and the first chapter in the book was 'Goddess Gaia, the Earth We Live On.'

This article discusses ideas related to the Gaia hypothesis, which posits that Earth is a living organism called Gaia. Gaia possesses self-regulating capabilities, and all life forms that have evolved on Earth can be considered part of this organism.

Nakajima smiled and responded with interest, "The Earth is actually a living organism with self-awareness? That's really interesting."

Zhao Ming, Nakajima and Kariya had a lively discussion on Sodem from the perspectives of ancient biology, modern physics and modern biology respectively.

They expressed their opinions one after another, and the content of the discussion involved knowledge from many professional fields, which made the other people in the command room confused, as if they were listening to a foreign language.

Asuka couldn't help but whisper to Koda beside him, "Can you understand what the three of them are saying?"

Koda shook his head helplessly, smiled wryly and replied, "I don't understand at all."

At this moment, Xibi Gangzhu interrupted the discussion of the three people. "Let's put aside the theories for now. The most urgent thing is how to deal with Sodem. Since its abnormal behavior may be due to a cold, let's try to treat it. Zhao Ming, do you have any specific plans?"

Zhao Ming thought for a moment and said, "We can prepare a special energy potion and send it to Sodom via the Granbeagle to help him recover from his cold. After Sodom's body temperature drops, we can send him back to the volcano!"

Xibi Gangzhu nodded, "Let's do it this way, everyone, take action immediately..."
