Ultraman: Because I am Gatanothor

After merging with Gatanothor, Nanase Fudo already knew where the route was.

He also 'saw' that the Reilos had long since wandered off to another place at the entrance to the cave, otherwise the rescue boat wouldn't have been able to safely burrow into the seabed.

However, that road is no longer passable.

The first earthquake lifted R'lyeh slightly, allowing Nanase Kazetsu to encounter her, and then they entered her.

The second earthquake caused R'lyeh to shrink back again.

Therefore, the opening is already buried beneath the seabed, and with the equipment of Dolphin 202, it is impossible for them to get out.

However, after 30 million years of seawater erosion, a hole has been formed on the top of R'lyeh, located about seven nautical miles to the southeast.

"I don't know, but we can't just stay here!" Nanase Futari said in a helpless tone.

Upon hearing this, Yoshitsuji Yoshitsugu choked back a sob, realizing that it made sense.

He glanced at the Dolphin 202 energy reserve.

There's still half left, which is enough for a few more trials and errors.

"Alright then, let's hope our luck isn't too bad!" With that, he got up and went to the communication module, wanting to see if it could be repaired.

Feng Du remained noncommittal regarding his actions.

Because he had already seen it.

Due to its high-intensity operation, the communication module not only needs to receive information from TPC headquarters, but also needs to transmit data back from here in a constant manner.

Yesterday, during the first earthquake, we were hit by the black fog, which caused almost all the electronic components in the communication module to be rendered unusable.

It's beyond repair.

But he didn't say that since Director Ji Gang wanted to try, then let him try it himself.

At this moment, Dolphin 202 had been started. Nanase Fudo gently pushed the lever and drove it towards the outside of the passage.

…………

Meanwhile, Daigo and Rena have arrived at the TPC branch in Mongolia.

Here, they were warmly received by the branch manager. When asked about the meteorite, the two of them kept changing the subject, and they could tell what the other was thinking at a glance.

They simply wanted to see if the meteorite had any other value and wanted to buy some time.

However, the branch manager had some reservations, so he only handed the meteorite over to Daigo and the others before dawn.

Sitting on the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, Nanase Rena's expression turned even more unpleasant, clearly angered by the actions of the branch manager.

Just then, the communicator rang.

"This is Unit One!" Lina's hoarse voice rang out.

Megumi's image appeared on the communication panel, her face beaming with joy.

"You got the meteorite, didn't you!"

Daigo glanced at Rena's retreating figure and spoke up for her, "We got it, it just... took a little longer!"

Megumi shook her head, not caring about the meteorite. She smiled and said, "That's good. Oh, by the way, I have some good news to tell you!"

Daigo asked in confusion, "What is it, Captain?"

Nanase Rena listened absentmindedly, her eyes gazing out the window at the magnificent plain below, where one could see one yurt after another.

"Dolphin 202's location has shifted!"

Hearing the words "Dolphin 202" immediately caught Lina's attention. She quickly turned around and anxiously asked, "Dolphin 202... moving!?"

Daigo thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that the ocean currents propelled the dolphins...?"

He spoke, his voice growing softer and softer until he finally stopped.

More than 30 hours have passed, and they are still at the bottom of the sea. Their chances of survival are extremely slim.

In the video call, Megumi Kijima shook her head. "No, according to the doctors' investigation and the information returned by the rescue boats on site, there has been no large-scale ocean current event on the seabed!"

After hearing Megumi's words, Nanase Rena's lifeless eyes gradually brightened, and she asked in a trembling voice, "So..."

Megumi gave her an affirming look and said with a smile, "Yes, there's a very high chance that Dr. Nanase and Director Yoshitsugu are still alive!"

After saying that, Daigo saw in the video call that Megumi Kijima turned her head to look at the door, as if someone had entered the command room.

Then Megumi turned around and said to them, "That's the situation. Now you should hurry back!"

"Yes!"

"understand!"

The video call was turned off after the two responded.

Daigo, beaming with joy, said to Nanase Rena, "Rena, this is wonderful!"

At this moment, Nanase Rena could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.

But his face was adorned with an unusually excited smile.

"Yes, they're alright!"

As they were talking, Nanase Rena suddenly noticed that the ground in front of her seemed to be collapsing.

She quickly composed herself and called out to Daigo.

"Daigo, look what that is!"

Daigo was seated behind Nanase Rena, so he didn't see the strange phenomenon on the ground immediately.

Upon hearing this, he stood up and leaned forward to take a look.

"what happened?"

"Hey, what is that?"

Daigo's initially puzzled look gradually turned to terror, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Look there!!"

Nanase Rena subconsciously reduced her flight speed, looking down with disbelief.

"very scary!"

On the ground, a colossal beast, fifty meters tall, with thick skin and a ferocious appearance, emerged from the pit.

Its head has a suit of armor-like armor, and its forepaws have exceptionally sharp claws.

With each step of its two thick, powerful legs, the ground would tremble considerably.

Behind it was a strong tail, which could create a pit one or two meters deep in the ground with each swing.

Chapter 12 We Are Out

Chapter 12

The Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 flew past the giant beast's head, and Nanase Rena steered the plane back.

They circled the giant beast from a distance.

After glancing at the planes flying in the sky and sensing no danger, the behemoth turned its gaze back to the east.

roar~

There's an unpleasant smell there...

After roaring, it lifted its thick legs and walked eastward.

Its enormous size gives it immense power; every time it stomps on the ground, it causes a catastrophe like a landslide.

Daigo immediately noticed the direction the giant beast was heading and saw several yurts.

With his eyesight, he could see several figures running out of the yurt in a panic.

With each step, the behemoth covered tens of meters, and in just a few steps, it could catch up with people and trample them all to death.

Thinking of this, he became anxious and immediately shouted, "Lina, there are people below! We must find a way to change the monster's course!"

Nanase Rena was slightly startled, but then calmly said, "The Flying Swallow doesn't have any offensive equipment. Let's fire a signal flare to scare it!"

Now, the only thing the Victory Flying Swallow can launch over long distances is signal flares.

Similar to the current TPC concept, it has little offensive power.

Daigo had no other choice, so he agreed to Rena's suggestion, saying, "Okay!"

After saying that, she reached for the switch next to her and turned on the signal flare launcher. Lina then controlled Flying Swallow No. 1 and flew towards the monster.

Daigo seized the opportunity and immediately pressed the launch button.

"Fire the signal flare!"

The next moment, two human-sized signal flares were launched from the abdomen of the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, landing directly in front of the monster.

The instant the signal flare landed, a plume of orange smoke burst out of the flare at an extremely high speed.

In just three seconds, the flare enveloped the monster, and a slightly pungent odor irritated its respiratory tract.

It couldn't help but sneeze a few times.
