"Daigo, protect Shinjo. Leave this guy to me!" Kaul was only slightly at a disadvantage, but not to the point of being defeated.
Kaul looked at the approaching Kirieloid and said, "Do you think I'll fail like this? Is it because I've been killed before I could even see my face clearly after thirty million years, and I've forgotten what I truly look like?"
The Lion's Eye gleamed on his fingers, and the roar of a lion came from behind him.
"What is that sound? Why do I hear a lion's roar?" Shinjo looked around blankly.
With L77 shattered, Kaul reverted to his original state, that is, his Reonic form.
"Is this... the power of the Reonics...?" Daigo was extremely shocked. He could feel the overwhelming pressure, but for some reason, his head looked very similar to that of a giant.
"It's...it's your original form!" Kirieloid panicked. He had been killed by Kaul in this form before.
"You rats from another dimension... don't let me catch you by the tail, or I'll turn your entire lair upside down."
In the eyes of the Kirieloids, Kaul's hand was already gripping his neck, and no matter how he attacked, it would be useless and would only add to the chaos.
"Die..." Kaul punched through the chest of the Kirieloid.
"Uh...uh..." The Kirieloid's fighting body gradually crumbled, leaving only its spirit within. "Kauer, don't be too smug. God...God will eventually descend...the gates of hell will eventually open, and humans...humanity...will definitely become ours..."
"Too much nonsense." Kaul hastened the other's death, instantly destroying the body.
As the battle ended, the surrounding fog gradually dissipated, and the car and PDI were able to function normally again.
"Location signal restored!"
At the Far East headquarters, Nori's excited voice reached the crew aboard the Flying Swallow No. 1: "Commander! Staff Officer Caul and the others have reappeared on the Tokyo Bay Bridge! The radio interference has also completely disappeared!"
"Very good!"
Hearing this, Deputy Captain Munakata finally felt relieved: "We're almost at Daigo's location, and the rescue team has set off with us."
On the bridge, Kaul deactivated Reonics' awakened state, his legs went slightly weak, and he took two steps back before being helped into the back seat by Daigo and Shinjo.
"I'm really exhausted. It seems it will take quite a while for my body to fully recover." Kaul rubbed his temples, looking somewhat tired.
"Advisor, are there other ancient people besides Titans like you? Can I become like that?!" Shinjo was excited. This was too strong. It was exactly the kind of fighting power that Titans should have. Although they had defeated several Kirieloids with the help of firearms and Advisor Kaul.
But this is completely different from the others.
"I already said I'm an alien who just came to Earth, so don't try to judge me by human common sense. However, you two did a good job today." Kaul was relieved to see that the two of them were alright.
He originally intended to bring two people to cause trouble, but unexpectedly, they were intercepted.
A few minutes later, Flying Swallow-1 and the ground rescue team arrived on the bridge.
When Hori, Munakata, and Rena saw the Dram patrol car cut in half on the bridge, and Daigo and Shinjo sitting next to it rubbing their wrists, covered in dust, everyone on the Victory Team was speechless.
"Officer Kaul, what kind of battle did you go through?" Horii pointed at the scrap metal on the ground, completely unable to believe that humans could have done this.
"Let's talk back at base. Things are complicated. Some parasites are no longer content to hide in the gutter." Kaul walked onto the Flying Swallow II.
Half an hour later, in the command center.
Captain Megumi had just finished investigating the TV station incident and rushed back to the base, looking quite exhausted.
The door to the command room was opened.
After receiving basic treatment from the medical team, Kaul, Daigo, and Shinjo returned to the command room.
Upon meeting Captain Megumi, Kaul went straight to the point without any formalities: "Captain Megumi, there's no need to investigate that possessed TV host anymore. He's a Kirieloid. I think the footage you saw back then should be very consistent with their style. Besides, they like to introduce themselves."
Megumi's expression changed; she recognized the name from the information Nori had just sent her: "Is this the demon you mentioned before, the one who wanted to become a god among us humans?"
"That's right, it's them," Kaul walked to the control panel and pulled up a geological map of Tokyo Bay and the surrounding metropolis. "In the battle just now, Shinjo, Daigo, and I defeated the squad that attacked us, but before he died, he told me that God would eventually come and the door would eventually be opened."
Kaul pointed heavily at the tectonic plate fault line beneath the center of Tokyo: "The Kirieloids possess the destructive ability to control geothermal energy and trigger eruptions of underground magma. They are very likely to demonstrate their so-called divine punishment to all humanity in the not-too-distant future by igniting underground pillars of fire."
"Divine punishment?!"
"That's right, that's their ability, and that's how they demonstrate their capabilities."
"These guys actually want to cause a massive explosion in our city! This is a declaration of war against TPC and against all of humanity!" Director Yoshioka waved his folding fan, his face grim.
"Chief of Staff Caul, according to your estimation, where will their first divine punishment take place?"
"I don't know, after all, I'm not a god, but if they want to achieve their goal and let people know that they did it, they will definitely announce it to us."
"But now, Captain Megumi, have the Research Bureau and the Geological Monitoring Team immediately begin 24-hour continuous monitoring of the underground temperature activity index in Tokyo."
"Any abnormal temperature rise is a sign of an impending eruption."
"Understood, Ye Rui, you take charge of this matter."
"OK."
Everyone looked at Kaul, wanting him to say something more so they could make a move: "So, what's next, Mr. Kaul?" Daigo asked the question everyone wanted to ask.
"Next?" Caul didn't understand what everyone was doing. "Next what? Is there some other news to share?"
"Is that all? Shouldn't you be telling us what to create to counter the Kirieloids?" Hori was waiting for him to continue, so he could use his extraordinary scientific talent.
"Of course you did this yourselves!" Kaul covered his face. "Well then, Captain Megumi, please rest first. After all, you just came here exhausted. Daigo Shinjo, come with me."
