Chapter Seventy-Seven: Weakness
Yue Longze and Masaki quickly contacted Da Gu, who informed them that the Victory Team would soon arrive in Tokyo, because there was a giant lying in the city like a corpse! And that giant was none other than Director Miyazawa of their TPC!
Upon hearing this, Yue Longze raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Director Miyazawa... Was it this man who sent assassins after him twice? He had initially suspected Dr. Dan from the TPC.
Yue Longze had almost no impression of this so-called Director Miyazawa. In the original Diga Ultraman TV series, Miyazawa was supposed to be just a background character within TPC, but in this timeline, he shone with extraordinary brilliance.
Yet at this moment, none of that mattered.
What mattered was that Da Gu had revealed another astonishing piece of information to Yue Longze.
That giant, nearly possessing infinite energy, was created by Dan! And Dan was manipulating it from behind the scenes!
“So it really was Dan after all!”
Yue Longze hadn’t expected that Dan would be the one controlling the giant.
To manufacture such a nearly infinite-energy artificial giant—he had to admit, Dan was a genius.
A genius who had strayed down the wrong path.
......
Inside the TPC senior conference room.
“What will it take for you to stop?”
Director Zewei’s voice was harsh, and even someone as composed as he could not remain calm in the face of the circumstances.
Because, after arriving in Nara City, the giant had not ceased its destruction!
“Fine, fine, I’ll stop now.”
Dan offered a sinister smile, but he truly ordered the giant to halt its rampage.
The people in the conference room were momentarily stunned.
“There, I’ve stopped the destruction.”
Dan continued to smile wickedly, “But—I want you to kneel before me!”
Dan lounged lazily in his chair, leisurely shaking his crossed legs atop the conference table, gesturing for Director Zewei to kneel!
“You’re going too far!”
Director Jigang’s temper was on the verge of erupting, and he angrily pointed his ever-present folding fan at Dan.
But Zewei himself stood motionless like a block of wood, his face calm. Whether his heart was calm, however, remained unknown.
“Won’t kneel?”
Dan smiled lightly, and just then, the giant in Nara City casually destroyed another occupied skyscraper!
“Still not kneeling? If you refuse, I’ll let the giant continue ravaging Nara! As the TPC director, can you bear to watch so many innocent citizens perish?”
Dan smiled, a smile that sent chills through the heart.
Perverse, mad, cold-blooded.
Many silently cursed Dan in their hearts.
Seeing Zewei refuse to kneel, Dan manipulated the giant to wreak further havoc, claiming at least another hundred lives!
“Director Zewei, I always thought you put the greater good first, but now, faced with this crisis, you’re still so selfish! The citizens of Nara who just died—they perished because of you, Director Zewei of TPC!”
Dan’s words stabbed at Zewei’s heart like a relentless sword!
With a heavy thud, Director Zewei knelt before Dan, his expression grave, both knees striking the floor with a sharp sound.
“Director!”
Many cried out, Hui, the captain, opened her almond-shaped eyes wide in righteous fury.
“Well! Such obedience! Then I’ll cease the destruction in Nara City!”
Dan smiled in satisfaction.
“If my kneeling can make you stop, then even my life is a price I’m willing to pay!”
Zewei spoke calmly, his voice low but resolute, carrying clearly to every person present.
“Director...”
Some already had tears in their eyes.
Upon hearing this, Dan’s smiling face hardened. “My talents have never been truly recognized; I’ve been suppressed and excluded at every turn! Never valued! This is the price you must pay!”
A fit of mad laughter followed...
“And one more thing—I warn you again, don’t even think of shooting me when I’m unguarded, unless you want all of Japan to perish! No, the entire world destroyed! No matter how many Diga-types you bring, it won’t help! The giant I created is invincible!”
Dan swept his gaze across everyone present, his eyes like venomous snakes!
.......
Tokyo.
Except for Captain Hui and Norui, who remained in the command room conducting technical analysis, the rest of the Victory Team piloted two Swallow fighter jets, arriving once again in Tokyo.
Their purpose was to monitor the giant lying immobile on the ground—Miyazawa!
Upon arriving in Tokyo, Da Gu immediately sought out Yue Longze and Masaki alone.
The three gathered in a secluded, deserted place to discuss their next step.
....
The sound of debris shifting echoed from the ruins.
“Who’s there?”
Yue Longze, the most alert, sensed someone approaching first. Da Gu and Masaki quickly followed suit, ready for anything.
“No need to worry, it’s us.”
A gentle young woman’s voice reached their ears, and two tall figures emerged from behind a collapsed building.
“Iwu! Adam!”
Da Gu, who had interacted most with them, recognized the newcomers.
“What brings you here?”
Da Gu asked curiously.
“With the city suffering destruction, how could we leave?”
Adam smiled amiably and continued, “Regarding that giant with nearly infinite energy, we’ve discovered a secret.”
“A secret?”
Yue Longze’s curiosity was piqued.
“Iwu, why don’t you tell everyone?”
Adam looked at Iwu with indulgent affection.
“Alright.”
Iwu nodded. “Adam and I used advanced instruments aboard our spaceship to scan the giant, and we discovered a special device inside its body!”
“A special device?”
Yue Longze raised his eyebrows. Dan’s methods were impressive—implanting a device inside the giant!
“It’s that device which provides the giant with a constant supply of energy!”
Adam, hands in his pockets, answered for Iwu.
After his words, Yue Longze, Da Gu, and Masaki exchanged glances, delight flickering in their eyes.
“So, if we destroy the device inside the giant, that’s it!”
Yue Longze stroked his chin.
“Once the giant’s energy source is gone, things will be much easier.”
Masaki and Da Gu seized upon the crucial point—the artificial giant’s combat skills were weak, and without infinite energy, Dan’s giant would be nothing more than a helpless lamb!
“But here’s the problem!”
Yue Longze poured cold water on their excitement. “How do we destroy the special device inside the giant? We might not even get close before being ravaged by its powerful energy beams!”
Adam sighed. “You three are the hope of Earth!”
He then glanced affectionately at Iwu. “Of course, we Dinosaurs will do our best to help you! After all, we must atone for the mistakes we made before!”
“Your news has already helped us immensely!”
Yue Longze sincerely thanked Adam and Iwu.
