We’ve waited months for this! She’s just an animal—shoot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deputy fired—a massive, needle-tipped anesthetic dart pierced the Turtle Queen’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Struck at a vital point, the Turtle Queen let out a cry of agony, but after giving birth, she was too weak to fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She endured the agony, buried her eggs under sand, then struggled toward the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Turn on the lights!” Hei Qi shouted. The capture team aimed powerful spotlights directly at the Turtle Queen’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blinded by the sudden glare, the Turtle Queen panicked further; the anesthetic took effect, leaving her limp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hei Qi rejoiced: “Quick, cast the net—now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other team members obeyed instantly—they were veterans of this trade, scoffing at notions of “all things possessing spirit,” dismissing the creature as mere beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack!” A heavy net shot out, smothering the Turtle Queen; she convulsed in agony, but after giving birth, she was utterly powerless to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Splash!” The water broke open—a far larger turtle emerged: the Turtle King!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hei Qi was not alarmed—he was delighted: “The Turtle King! Capture this one too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another massive anesthetic dart fired, striking the Turtle King’s neck; he too writhed in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The capture team cast another net, but the Turtle King, using his immense size and strength, tore free barely in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The anesthetic fully took hold—the Turtle Queen was immobilized; the Turtle King gradually lost sensation in his limbs and body, unable to tear open his mate’s net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dawn, the capture team dug up the eggs the Turtle Queen had just laid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the attack, the Turtle Queen had buried her eggs too forcefully—one cracked—but the other four remained intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hei Qi was thoroughly satisfied with the haul. He and his team boarded the chartered supertanker and towed the Turtle Queen back to Japan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cheers!” That night, Hei Qi repeatedly toasted with the captain and first mate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, the captain asked what he intended to do with such a massive monster back in Japan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hei Qi: “I’m planning a monster exhibition. Just displaying it will draw crowds from all over Japan—and the world. After training, it can even perform.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain: “I see. Then you’ll become a billionaire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hei Qi waved it off modestly, but his smug grin betrayed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hope so. Come on, everyone—drink up! Today’s the happiest day!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, his deputy brought over a soup made from the turtle eggs:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, this delicacy doesn’t exist on any menu in the world—not for any price.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come, enjoy it while it’s hot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drinking, the capture team and crew all felt refreshed, declaring it the most exquisite dish they’d ever tasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towed behind the ship, the Turtle Queen’s eyes glowed red and bright—she had seen it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her unborn children had been eaten by these humans!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filled with rage, she thrashed violently, throwing the ship’s cabin into chaos, everyone screaming in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is this possible? Did the anesthetic fail?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She shouldn’t have moved for three days!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, a Japanese cargo ship named ‘Fourth Sakura Maru’ was attacked by a giant turtle, location 6 kilometers southeast of Shenjindao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Victory Team’s base, Emi immediately received the report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What!” Qi Ming asked sharply for details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oulongdao, Turtle King and Turtle Queen, egg-laying, captured by humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are the giant turtle monsters Totas King and Totas Queen from episodes four and five of “Ultraman Taro”: “Giant Turtle Monster Attacks Tokyo” and “Parent-Child Star, the Brightest Star.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect opportunity—I can not only prevent the tragedy of the original plot, but also use this chance to manipulate Aizen Makoto.
