Land of Light: I am Supermodel Tiga, One-Punch King

"But how can we coexist?"

"Humans can't just stop using electromagnetic waves, can they? Once they start using them, they'll definitely interfere with that lightning man's ionosphere."

"This is really a headache!" Shinjo rubbed his head.

Megumi looked at Reg: "Reg, what do you think? Is there any other news about the Lightning Man?"

"It's a fact that humans cannot give up using electromagnetic waves, and if I remember correctly, TPC is also preparing a large-scale microwave power generation device, right? That would have an even greater impact on the ionosphere."

"We can't say that we should wipe out all other creatures. It is also a good wish to let other creatures coexist with humans on Earth."

"But I don't have much hope for Horii's ideas."

Reg shook his head.

"Why? As long as the voice translator works, we can communicate with the Lightning Man, and we can always have a talk."

Horii shook the white translator in his hand.

"There are times when people can't communicate with each other, let alone two different races like humans and lightning people."

"Don't forget what I just said: the Lightning People devour their own kind as food. How can you communicate with someone who has such a... mindset? Values? Way of thinking?"

"You finally managed to communicate with the Lightning Man and become friends, but the Lightning Man thinks that friends are just for eating."

"Ah, take a sip!"

Reg picked up an apple, took a big bite out of it, and ate it with a crunching sound.

It was as if the Lightning Man had bitten Horii.

Horii was startled by the scene Reg described, and exchanged a glance with Shinjo: "Your headache has even infected me!"

"What did you say?" Xincheng's eyes widened.

"Did Dr. Mizuno's research machine take off today? The most important thing right now is to tell them not to get close to the cloud cluster for the time being."

Zongfang looked at Ye Rui, "Have the weather team notify them!"

"Yes!" Ye Rui immediately picked up the phone.

"Let me explain, otherwise Dr. Mizuno is very stubborn and won't listen and go back."

Horii immediately stood up and took the microphone.

……

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Flying Swallow No. 1 and Flying Swallow No. 2 flew over the sea, circling the strange cloud formation that was approaching the land ahead.

"Horii, you still haven't given up."

Seeing Horii fiddling with the voice translator, Munakata realized that he hadn't given up on communicating with the Lightning Man.

"Perhaps Reg is right, but there's no harm in giving it a try. As Dr. Mizuno said, daydreaming is wonderful."

"This is our first contact with creatures from the sky. If possible, coexistence would be the best outcome."

Horii's eyes were bright, and his chubby face seemed to be glowing to Munakata.

It's probably just oily sheen.

"I support your idea, go for it," Zongfang said with a smile.

However, as a commander, he keenly sensed that a great war between humans and the Lightning People was inevitable, resulting in the destruction of the other or their expulsion from Earth.

"Commander, the cloud cluster is accelerating; prepare to land!"

The sounds of the new city resounded.

The cocoon-like cloud clusters are becoming increasingly dense, and their boundaries are now clearly visible.

Then the cloud increased its speed and descended diagonally toward the nearest land.

"The landing location is similar to what Ye Rui predicted. Reg, how's it going on your end?"

Zongfang observed the flight path and contacted Reg, who was in the Drum vehicle on land.

"I have already ordered the police to evacuate the nearby residents so that we can begin operations."

Reg gazed at the sky.

"Very good, Shinjo, Lina, follow them and prepare for battle."

"Horii, you don't have much time left."

After giving the order, Munakata looked at Horii.

“I understand!” Horii nodded.

Once the Lightning Man starts destroying the city's buildings, the Victory Team must defeat him.

Under the watchful eyes of the victorious team.

Blue arcs of electricity crackled across the surface of the Lightning Man's lair, leaving long, pale red trails of intense heat, before crashing down onto the edge of the town.

A massive amount of soil was thrown into the sky, and the cloud cocoon was torn apart amidst the flames and black smoke of the explosion.

"Ahhh-"

It was impossible to tell whether it was crying or laughing; a voice like that of a baby rang out, and a huge monster emerged from the cocoon.

Yellow eyes, densely packed teeth in a large mouth, short hands, and fin-like wings.

Gazort, the shapeshifting monster of the Lightning Man!

Chapter 33 Lampard's Lightning Bolt! (6)

"This is the Lightning Man?"

Zong Fang was startled. If a lightning man was this big, just how many lightning men lived in the ionosphere?

"It's possible that the Lightning Men were affected by electromagnetic interference, causing them to mutate, and then they devoured each other, turning into monsters."

If there really were so many giant lightning beings living in the sky, they would have been discovered by humans long ago.

Horii pursed his lips. "Lina, come closer."

"Understood. I will retreat immediately if there is any danger."

As Lina spoke, she piloted the Flying Swallow II and slowly approached Gazot.

rustling, rustling—

The voice translator was connected to the onboard computer of the Flying Swallow II and quickly analyzed Gazot's voice, converting it into human language.

"good to eat!"

Soon, a crisp sound came from the computer.

"It's a success!" Horii's smile froze on his face.

If you only listen to the sound, you might think it's a child thinking the snacks are delicious, which is quite cute.

But if you think about how this lightning-like creature ate its own kind and then said it was delicious... it's terrifying to think about!

"Hello, can you understand me?"

Hori gritted his teeth, turned on the external microphone, and the rumbling sound reached Gazot's ears.

Swish!

Gazot, who had already approached the town's buildings, suddenly raised his head, his narrow yellow eyes fixed on the Flying Swallow II.

A mouthful of closely spaced teeth, unconsciously rubbing together.

"You came from the sky, didn't you? Can you become our friend?" Horii hesitated for a moment before asking again.

"Friend...it's delicious!"

Finally, Gazot spoke again, and the voice translator converted it into human language.

Everyone's hearts sank; just as Reg had said.

The Lightning Man's way of thinking is vastly different from that of humans!

"Commander, can we attack now?"

New City clenched his fist. "Lightning Men are impossible to communicate with!"

"All personnel, listen to my command and launch an attack immediately!" Zong Fang gave the order without hesitation.

Numerous green and red laser cannons shot out, engulfing Gazot like a torrential rain.

In the blink of an eye, the land and rocks around Gazot were reduced to dust by the high-energy laser.

Amidst the thick, gray dust, armor-piercing incendiary bombs rained down from the sky.

It hit Gazort precisely, who seemed unaware of the danger.

Engulfed in raging flames, Gazort let out a baby-like howl and opened his blood-red maw.

boom!

With a muffled boom, a ball of blue plasma lightning shot out from Gazort's gaping maw.
