Chapter 412

After Gatanozoa was eliminated, TPC people stayed behind to clean up.

Shan Zhong and Kishida looked at the scorched giant crater and exclaimed: "A robot imitating Ultraman, actually stronger than the original, how did they do it."

Kishida: "It's not too surprising; there's no reason for a fake to be worse than the original."

"I'm just curious what kind of energy the Defense Force uses to drive a 50-meter-tall giant, not only to make it move and fly, but also to have the energy to release such a terrifying beam."

At this time, the PDI communicator beeped, and the analysis results from Hikari and Agamus were sent to the channel.

At the same time, 【Sho】, who was searching, found Kishida and Shan Zhong.

"It's the Victory Team uniform, they are Qi Ming's teammates, right? Through them, I can contact Qi Ming."

【Sho】 was about to step forward, but the conversation between Kishida and Shan Zhong made him stop in his tracks.

Kishida: "Victory Crystal, so this kind of high-energy mineral actually exists on Earth; Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen can be so strong because it uses this kind of mineral as a power source."

Shan Zhong: "As long as we have this, wouldn't we TPC also be able to eliminate monsters on our own without relying on Ultraman's power, just like the Defense Force?"

Kishida: "Yes, we must also mine and hoard a batch of Victory minerals, the more the better; this is a new round of arms race..."

Listening to the exchange between the two, the joyful expression on 【Sho】's face gradually disappeared.

So these guys think like this...

How can guys like this be relied upon!

Sure enough, I still have to rely on my own power to stop them!

【Sho】 touched his pendant; this was also made of Victory Crystal and could be sensed.

He strode forward, running in the direction where Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen had just left.

The Defense Force must have hoarded all the mined Victory Crystals in that place; as long as he found the vicinity, he could determine the location through sensing!

The world line converged, and the "classic" was about to be replicated.

In the original "Ultraman Ginga S," the human host of Ultraman Ginga, Hikaru Raido, heard the captain say, "If we successfully possess the immense power of the Victory Crystal, humans will be able to fight against enemies with their own hands; most people should think so."

Then Hikaru Raido replied, "Indeed, as long as there is a Victory Cannon driven by Victory Crystal, perhaps we won't have to rely on the power of Ultra Warriors to protect Earth anymore, but..."

Before he could finish, 【Sho】 suddenly jumped out: "Is that really what you think? For this, you can sacrifice us Victory people? I don't want to fight with you anymore!"

After speaking, he killed his way to Commander Shenshan alone, then became a prisoner, and his transformation device and Shepardon Crystal were all confiscated...

In this world, 【Sho】 was going to break into the Defense Force base alone.

……………………………………

In the Victory Team command room, Counselor Quan Teng and Staff Officer He Zhi rushed over, their expressions solemn.

Qi Ming looked at the investigation report given by Hikari and directly concluded: "This Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen must not be left with the Defense Force."

Moroboshi Dan: "The Defense Force is our ally, and their soldiers are also warriors who dare to rush to the front line and fight to the death with invaders. Their increased combat power is a good thing, right."

Staff Officer He Zhi: "..."

Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng: "..."

Too idealistic; don't you understand the competitive relationship where we have been fighting openly and secretly for so long?

Qi Ming: "This is also the reason why I allowed the Defense Force to stay before, because they can maintain regional order. But I believe in their bravery, not their brains."

In the original "Ultraman Cosmos," the Defense Force recovered the robot 【Heiz King】 defeated by Cosmos, repaired and upgraded it into 【Modified Heiz King】, and protected the neck, which was Heiz King's weakness.

Then this thing went out of control and went on a rampage, forcing Cosmos, who was exhausted from continuous battles with Chaos Virus, to transform and work overtime, and finally his condition worsened.

Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng could still maintain basic composure; in his view, that Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen wasn't that divine, and he felt its combat power wasn't even as good as Dyna, who transformed from Asuka.

And he could vaguely guess Qi Ming's identity, just didn't dare to be sure, but had a sense of confidence in his heart.

And Staff Officer He Zhi, after seeing that the Defense Force possessed such a Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen, was shrouded in anxiety, muttering "If King Joe were still here..."

After barely calming himself down, Staff Officer He Zhi asked Qi Ming: "What do you plan to do?"

Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng: "No matter how strong that Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen is, it must be driven by humans. And Member Qi Ming is the strongest human!"

He actively offered advice, saying that Qi Ming could directly sneak into the Defense Force to carry out a decapitation operation, and they would naturally be in chaos. On the side, Xitiao Na said: "Last time we broke into the Free Fortress head-on, and it was smooth all the way."

Listening to these words, Staff Officer He Zhi's "firepower shortage phobia" was relieved.

Moroboshi Dan strongly disapproved of Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng's plan, believing that killing allies just because "Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen might go out of control and cause disaster in the future" was too vicious.

Hikari: "It is a bit excessive."

Because taking action at this time would give people the feeling of "because you threatened us, we want to eliminate you"; isn't this the style of a villain?

Qi Ming also felt that if Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng's plan were implemented, he would live to be the "Deus" he hated—predicting that humans might become a threat to the universe in two thousand years, so he would reset the Earth's ecology first.

Qi Ming: "But now is an extraordinary period, and we can't just leave it alone; otherwise, if something goes wrong, we'll have to be responsible for handling it, so at least there must be some monitoring."

Finally, both sides agreed on a compromise method.

Qi Ming and Staff Officer He Zhi would go to the Defense Force first to control the various high-ranking officials, and then negotiate after military deterrence, so that Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen would be monitored by both sides.

……………………………………

At the same time, the Defense Force base.

Commander Shenshan rushed to the command room and roared: "Why not counterattack? The timing was clearly fine!"

TPC suppressed us when we didn't have Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen, and they still suppressed us when we had Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen; then wasn't Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen in vain!

As a result, as soon as he went in, he found that his superior, Military Officer Xitiao, and his superior's superior, Commander Zejing, were both there, and his arrogance immediately subsided by more than half.

Military Officer Xitiao had a suspicious look: "Don't you think it's very strange? Our Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen has already shown crushing power, but TPC is not afraid at all; their armament might not be that simple."

Shenshan: "Don't they only have the Feiyan and the Artedis? In terms of maneuverability and functionality, they are not as good as our Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen at all; we can send Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen now to simply solve TPC's maritime base."

Commander Zejing shook his head: "TPC is our ally, how can we do such a thing."

He added that compared to the Defense Force, which is keeping a low profile, TPC has been in the limelight during this time, solving many monster disaster events, and is deeply trusted by citizens.

If they attack without authorization, they won't have the moral high ground and will lose popular support.

Commander Shenshan: "We now possess absolute strength, public opinion doesn't matter at all! As long as TPC is eliminated, won't they have to support us?"

Military Officer Xitiao nodded slightly, his eyes flickering, seemingly agreeing with this view.

And Commander Zejing shook his head: "Don't say any more. If you really want to win against TPC, not only must the armed forces exceed them, but the achievements made must also exceed them, so that there can be enough support."

He told Shenshan to maintain enough restraint as the person in charge of Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen; Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen can only deal with monsters and invaders, and must never point its cannon at humans.

After speaking, Commander Zejing let Shenshan leave to check the status of Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen and replenish energy with Victory minerals.

Shenshan had to suppress his emotions, salute, and leave.

Just like this, the Defense Force, which had been keeping a low profile for a long time, made a full comeback and began to search for abnormal events in various places.

They wanted to solve those hidden dangers that might become disasters, make some great achievements that would make citizens look at them with new eyes, and prove that they were not just good at infighting.

The sudden increase in workload made everyone a bit chaotic; after all, their previous elite scientists were wiped out by Galactron, and now they are short of manpower.

"A meteorite was recovered at location 303, can anyone come to the laboratory to help analyze it?"

"We are also busy; the landing probe sent to Saturn to survey the newly discovered satellite 【Sovino】 was destroyed for some reason. The survey robot 【Labumos】 was recovered in a shutdown state, and it must be turned on to find out the truth."

"Don't look for us either; we just recovered this coral-shaped meteorite from Antarctica, but for some reason, everyone in the laboratory has oxygen poisoning, and we are also in a mess."

At the same time, Celebro, who possessed Aihara Ryu, came to the arsenal where Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen was located, looking at the Mechanical Imaginary Saiwen under maintenance, a trace of scarlet flashing in his eyes.

It's time to start the civilization extinction game.
