Chapter 107 Become Our Guide
Captain Megumi stood up, looking very serious and rational: "According to the video footage and Daigo's report, if it weren't for Mr. Koul's intervention, the giant now codenamed Ultraman Tiga would likely have been defeated in the first battle after his resurrection. At least for now, it seems he has no hostility towards humans."
"No hostility? He currently possesses a monster capable of destroying the Earth, and the TPC is not yet armed. The Earth Defense Force's current weapons are completely inadequate to deal with the threat posed by the monster. I am well aware of all this!" Yoshioka retorted.
That's enough.
Director Sawai, who had been sitting silently in the main seat, finally spoke.
His wise eyes were fixed on Caul on the screen. As a man who could peacefully liberate the entire Earth and unite it as one, the composure he exuded was not feigned; he was kind to the core.
"Yoshioka, Megumi is right. We can't view someone who might have saved us with an adversarial perspective." Director Sawai stood up and straightened his suit.
"I want to personally meet this guest from 30 million years ago."
Several tens of minutes later.
Kaul changed into a black fitted suit prepared for him by TPC and, "escorted" by two fully armed police officers, stepped into the reception room.
Inside the reception room, Director Sawai, Chief Yoshioka, and Captain Iruma had been waiting for a long time, while the other staff members did not participate in the meeting.
The moment the door closed, Chief Yoshioka's sharp gaze met Kaul's, attempting to intimidate this unknown man with his presence.
But Kaul didn't even lift his eyelids, after all, his father was much more imposing than Yoshioka, he was the lord of the galaxy.
He walked to the other end of the long table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
His movements were unhurried and deliberate, giving the impression of someone who had long held a high position and enjoyed being in control.
For a moment, Director Yoshioka even had the illusion that this was not TPC's home ground, but the other side's home ground.
"Who exactly are you?" Chief Yoshioka couldn't help but launch the first attack. "How can you prove that you and the monster you're carrying won't pose a threat to human society?"
Kaul leaned back in his chair, his hands clasped in front of him. Unlike his usual joking manner in front of everyone in the ancient times, he quietly watched Yoshioka.
"threaten?"
"When this planet was still gripped by the terror of the Dark Lord, when the hordes of Zoga were trying to wipe out humanity... it was my friends and I who secured hope for Earth."
Kaul looked at everyone present, his aura of having experienced numerous large-scale battles and being in a superior position for many years being released without reservation.
"What you call a threat was the protector of this planet 30 million years ago. So put away your ridiculous probing and defensiveness. The fact that I have chosen to sit down in front of you proves that we need to have a dialogue, because you are also the protectors of Earth."
Director Sawai looked at Kaul, his heart filled with immense shock. Such a spirit was something no ordinary person could possess.
He raised his hand, signaling Yoshioka not to act rashly, and then asked in a gentle but serious tone:
"Mr. Caul, please forgive our caution, but Earth has just undergone an unprecedented catastrophe, and we are terrified of unknown forces. If, as you say, they are survivors from an ancient era, then please tell us..."
Director Sawai leaned forward, his eyes filled with a yearning for the truth.
"What exactly happened on Earth 30 million years ago? Why did those giants of light turn into stone statues? And why did you remain?"
Kaur looked at Director Sawai and remained silent for a moment.
His memory returned to what was just a few dozen hours earlier, to that ancient era of war, blooming Zijra, and shrouded in the black mist of Gatanjeor.
"That's not a good history. I don't know if you are descendants of ancient people, but judging from current technology, you probably aren't."
"In what you call the ancient times, the giants of light were once the guardians of mankind. However, due to their arrogance, the seduction of darkness, and the cowardice of mankind in choosing false dreams in despair, a civil war broke out among the giants. Meanwhile, the true darkness, the evil god Gatanothor, took advantage of the situation."
Over the next hour.
In an extremely objective tone, Kaul recounted the rise and fall of an ancient civilization to these three decision-makers of modern Earth.
He recounted how Tiga found his only true love—the human heart—amidst his confusion, how the giants fought their way into stone statues in the black fog, and most importantly, how humanity awakened the shining miracle with the light of hope at the last moment.
Of course, he hasn't mentioned his identity as Prince L77 yet; he's only recounting the past as a Reonic, a comrade of light.
"Tiga, Camilla, Darram, Hitler, Daga... They could have returned to their homeland as light, but to protect me, who was mortally wounded, and to leave a seed of hope for this planet, they left their fighting bodies on Earth."
"The reason I stayed, the reason I awoke, is not to rule, nor to destroy; it is to protect the Earth, because I deeply love humanity."
Everyone was speechless upon hearing Caul's words.
Captain Megumi's eyes were already wet. She finally understood why she felt familiar when she saw Yu Lian's image. It was because Kaur said that she looked exactly like Yu Lian, and Kaur even suspected that she was Yu Lian's reincarnation.
Director Sawai stood up and bowed to Kaul.
"Thank you, and all those who sacrificed for the Earth. Humanity will never forget this kindness."
Sawai looked up at Kaul: "Mr. Kaul, according to what Yuzare and you said, the crisis on Earth has only just begun. Although we at TPC have mastered technology, we are still like children in the face of darkness and the universe. Therefore, on behalf of the Earth Peace Union, I sincerely invite you..."
"Join us, join TPC."
...
At the same time.
In the underground laboratory of the Cedik Technologies building in a city far from its Far East base.
Masaki Keigo, wearing a white lab coat, stood in front of a particle analyzer.
Inside the isolation chamber were the fragments of the "Daga statue" that he had brought back from the pyramid ruins, as well as a small pile of gravel belonging to Gedi.
On the laboratory screen, countless complex light gene sequences are being rapidly processed, eventually piecing together a model.
Masaki Keigo stared at the data on the screen, his eyes flashing with madness and arrogance.
