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

"I think so too."

Dr. Yaoko relaxed his brow. "Large warships and small fighter jets are still different."

"The machine is functioning normally, the data has been recorded, now return to base."

Under Lina's control, the test aircraft changed direction and flew towards the blue and white Earth.

"So, the Magus propulsion system is already mature?"

Director Sawai looked at Dr. Yao.

"As a scientist, I need to see the data Snow White brought back before I speak, but my gut feeling is that yes."

Dr. Yao nodded.

"Headquarters, in space, I see an island!"

Lina suddenly called out, but then the island disappeared from sight again, which made Lina doubt herself.

"But the satellite's detection system couldn't find it..."

Ye Rui immediately mobilized satellites to monitor the location of the test machine, but found nothing there.

"There is indeed an island. I don't know how long it has been drifting in space. Its surface is full of rocky pits, and it is shaped like a spinning top. It should be made entirely of metal."

If Lina says there's a problem, it could be due to hallucinations caused by the test.

So what Reg, the superpowered individual, said made everyone take it seriously.

A metallic island floating in space—it's anything but ordinary.

"Ye Rui, increase surveillance."

"understand!"

After the test aircraft returned to the base's underground hangar, Reg couldn't help but shake his head as he walked towards the elevator.

"what happened?"

Lina followed Reg's gaze.

Inside a warehouse next to the underground hangar, a forklift was towing something that looked like armor and piling it up to one side.

It looks like there are already several suits of armor, but they all seem to be broken.

"TPC has this habit of bringing everything to its headquarters. Is it just because there's a lot of space and warehouses here?"

Reg shook his head.

He activated his wristwatch to contact his combat team: "Hey, this is Reg, in the underground hangar..."

Back in the GUTS headquarters, Reg stopped Daigo and Shinjo, who were about to leave for patrol.

"Wait a moment, I've discovered an important issue that concerns the safety of the base."

Upon hearing Reg's words, everyone became serious.

"What is it?" Megumi sat up straight.

"You all should remember the steel-plate masked man I mentioned before, right?"

"Is it that thing that comes out to scare people in the middle of the night? But isn't that an urban legend?" Shinjo paused for a moment.

"No, the police patrol members have already taken the Steel Mask Man back to base."

As Reg spoke, the door to the command room opened, and two police officers appeared, one holding a helmet inlaid with orange beads and the other holding something that looked like two cylindrical sections.

Judging from the expressions of the two team members, this thing must be quite heavy, weighing at least several tens of kilograms.

"This is the steel-plate masked man from urban legends; he's actually a robot."

"But strangely, the robot fell to the ground with a single blow, then scattered into pieces, and the pieces were hollow."

"It lacks the various energy, control, and circuit systems of a normal robot."

"Other colleagues at the police department say that the number of these robots on the streets is increasing rapidly."

At Reg's signal, one of the team members explained the information he had specifically inquired about earlier.

"Could it be that an unknown enemy sent such a frail robot? One punch would be enough to knock it down?"

"And how does it operate when it's hollow inside? Where does its energy come from?"

"It's either some kind of magic, or the technology behind it surpasses current human science."

"Since it shatters with the slightest touch, it's also possible that it could be reassembled and revived at any time."

"If such robots are stockpiled in underground warehouses, what happens if they are revived..."

"Everyone, do you remember the story of the Trojan Horse?"

As they listened to Reg's explanation, everyone's expressions grew more solemn, and they found it increasingly reasonable.

The underground warehouse is surrounded by various hangars, laboratories, and factories. If it were to be damaged from within, the consequences would be unimaginable!

(Comrades, eleven chapters released, 42,000 words in total, I've done my best!)

Chapter 65 Ten Thousand Goblins, the Atedis Sets Sail!

"Therefore, I think we should not stockpile these robots in underground warehouses before we can analyze their specific characteristics."

Reg looked at Megumi.

“Reg, what you said makes a lot of sense. How about this, Norizumi and Horii, why don’t you two take a look and discuss this first?”

Megumi nodded, then looked at Nozue and Horii, pointing to the robot's head and arms on the table.

"First of all, without energy, the robot absolutely cannot move."

"Then, the reaction device for this energy should be hidden inside this body."

Horii stepped forward and observed carefully.

"I suspect it might be a kind of machine life form, with a body that is both a computer and an engine."

"so,"

Ye Rui smiled with interest. "If it's a computer problem, then it means there's no problem!"

Reg couldn't help but laugh. This Ye Rui was too arrogant, but he did have the ability.

With Nozue and Horii working diligently, a large number of instruments and circuits were prepared in the airtightness treatment room.

The two then connected the voice translator and power circuitry to what looked like a main control computer on the head.

Drip!Drip!

The orange bead blinked a few times, then lit up.

"It actually worked!"

Daigo and Shinjo stared wide-eyed, utterly awestruck by the academic prodigy.

"Who are you?"

Ye Rui pursed his lips and asked.

Then things moved into the classic question-and-answer session.

"We are the security system."

"Protection? What kind of protection?" Megumi Kijima keenly sensed that something was amiss.

The head of the "670" robot actually looked towards the microphone from which the sound was coming from.

Then the monotonous, mechanical voice continued to reply: "When the prohibited power is activated, we will proceed with the operation."

"What action?"

During the preparations, Director Sawai, who had been informed of the emergency, returned to the command room.

"When that kind of power starts to be used, eliminate it."

Inside the command room, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

The power source, and the timing of this event, immediately brought the Magnum power system to everyone's mind.

Those who knew about the Atlas, such as Sawai, knew that the target was this large spaceship.

"Who created you and sent you to Earth?"

"There are no records in our memory. We are only responsible for carrying out our tasks."

"What is your relationship with that metal island in outer space?" Reg asked.

"The Mechanical Island is our Goblin's production base and also a large Goblin, responsible for controlling the execution of the entire mission."

Sawai looked at Reg: "Captain Reg, how big was the mechanical island you saw in outer space before?"

"Approximately three kilometers in diameter."

hiss!
