Man in Marvel: The Manifestation of the Gods

Having said this, Iruma Kei fell silent.

The team members turned their heads and looked at Rody, who had stood up from his seat with his arms folded.

...

The facts have been proven.

With the current equipment humans have, it is impossible to cause effective damage to monsters.

If this is the case, what's the point of the Victory Team attacking? It would be better to let the giant Rody attack. He killed two monsters so easily before, so it shouldn't be difficult to stop Melba this time.

"Watch what I do?"

Seeing everyone around him looking at him, Rody raised his eyebrows.

"Why, if there's no giant, you won't attack?"

This is different from the original plot, in which Daigu’s identity was revealed only at the very end.

Even though a few people have guessed Da Gu's identity, in the early stages, humans have always relied on themselves to fight monsters.

Instead of pinning all hopes on Ultraman.

It was only in the later period that as Tiga killed more and more monsters, he gradually gained the trust and admiration of mankind.

...

But now, Roddy's identity has been directly exposed, so there is no need to distinguish whether he is an enemy or a friend.

Since the giants are our own people and not alien creatures, there is no need to study the giants' attitude towards humans.

Is it necessary for the Victory Team to go out?

Does this mean that Rody can handle this matter alone?

On a larger scale, this concerns whether humans will rely on Ultraman in the future.

Roddy couldn't play the role of a savior forever, and he didn't want to see mankind stop developing and progressing.

"You're just going to let me go alone?"

"But, Team Leader Rody, you are much stronger than us..."

Jujing was outspoken and he had witnessed the entire process of the silver giant's power.

"No, we can't keep relying on the power of the giants!"

Before Rody could speak, Dagu on the side spoke first, and his face looked very serious.

Walk quickly to the center.

Face everyone.

"Are we going to have to rely on this giant's protection in the future?"

"Although we are not as powerful as the monsters, if the winning team admits defeat and becomes a coward, will there still be hope for humanity?"

...

What Dagu said hit the nail on the head.

No matter how slim the hope of victory is, it is better than hiding behind a giant and leaving everything to the giant.

The significance of the Victory Team's existence is to tell the world that human beings are not cowardly and have the courage to face strong enemies.

"Captain, think about it. If only giants appeared on the battlefield to face the monsters, but no humans appeared, it would be a huge blow to everyone's confidence!"

Lina also understood Dagu's meaning and stood up to follow her husband's lead.

"Maybe we can't defeat the monsters, but at least we have fought and tried our best to protect the peace of the earth."

"Instead of hiding in the corner and watching the giants fight the monsters." Rody nodded with satisfaction and took over the topic. This was what he meant.

Even if we cannot win, we have to fight, and we have to persist no matter how difficult it is, because this is a display of human courage and confidence, without fear of life and death.

Digging well next to him obviously didn't expect this. He looked embarrassed and couldn't refute: "I'm sorry, I just felt that it was obviously Team Rody who could solve the problem. It was my negligence."

...

Just at the same time.

The door opens.

Director Sawai, who had also received the news, strode in.

"Director!"

The members of the Victory Team stood up straight.

Director Sawai must have gone back to change his clothes, as he no longer looked sweaty as before.

"Why haven't you moved yet?"

At this moment, he was no longer as gentle as before, but frowned and questioned Ju Jianhui.

"What are you waiting for?"

Iruma Kei took a deep breath and said, "I understand, sir. Victory Team! Let's go and intercept Melba. We can't let it enter Tokyo."

The destiny of mankind must be protected by mankind itself, rather than relying on the power of others.

Just as everyone filed out.

Director Sawai stopped Roddy who was about to leave.

"Team Roddy, please wait a moment."

"Ok?"

Roddy stayed at the end, looked at Captain Iruma Kei, and then stopped.

They waited until the door closed and only Director Sawai and Roddy were left in the room.

"After discussion, the headquarters hopes to temporarily hide your identity, Team Member Roddy. We will not release the information to the public, nor will we reveal your identity to anyone other than the Victory Team and those attending the meeting."

Director Sawai finished speaking and wanted to see Roddy's reaction.

"I see. This is the right choice. I don't want to get into too much trouble." Rody nodded naturally.

"That's good. I'm sorry to have wronged you."

There are naturally both pros and cons to revealing your identity.

The benefits are obvious. As long as Roddy recognizes his silver giant, there will be endless monsters appearing.

Then he will soon become the most famous person in the world and a hero promoted by countries around the world.

This is certain. No matter what others think or say in private, Roddy's status as a hero is set in stone.

As his reputation continues to accumulate, he might even become the savior of mankind.

The downside is that his every move will be exposed and discussed by countless people, so he cannot make any mistakes.

Even celebrities have to care about their public image. If we apply this to Ultraman, he is the saint of the new era, and saints will not make mistakes.

...

Director Sawai is worried that the headquarters' decision to conceal Roddy's identity will once again cause his dissatisfaction.

Every young person has a dream of saving the world, but seeing Roddy's nonchalant look, Director Sawai breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

"As compensation to you, Team Member Roddy, the TPC headquarters has decided after discussion to set up an executive staff position specifically for you. You will not be under the jurisdiction of the General Staff and will have the greatest power in the headquarters except for me."

Hearing this, Roddy nodded.

This was not beyond his expectations. People would always adapt. When those hawkish advisers saw that suppression failed, they would naturally choose a gentle approach.

Those who can become staff officers are not fools, and no one is stupid enough to become an enemy of Roddy. Now is the time when the world crisis is approaching. Even a fool knows that they cannot throw away the trump card in their hands or even force the enemy to the opposite side.

Therefore, the top leaders would only choose to win over Rody until they could find his weakness, or pull Rody into their own camp.

But these are of no concern to Roddy, he only cares about killing monsters and becoming stronger.

The earth is too small to contain him.

...

Roddy made up his mind.

After dealing with the giant Nautilus of the evil god Gatanjea, I will go out into the vast universe to explore and have a look.

Anyway, he will definitely not stay on Earth. If he can find the ability to travel through time and space, he would even like to visit other parallel universes.

Showing strength is not to become the new god of the earth, but just to scare some guys and make them afraid to come and seek death.

"I understand headquarters' decision."

Roddy nodded. He was lucky to meet a moderate person like Director Sawai.

If they met the group of hawks in Dyna's plot who held power.

Then we can only resort to drastic measures.

Looking back now, the fact that TPC's top management was able to change their attitude in such a short period of time is most likely due to Director Sawai's efforts.

...

The biggest worry is over.

Director Sawai hesitated for a moment and asked, "There is one more thing."

"Please, Team Leader Rody, give the other team members some opportunities to practice and let them deal with more monsters. Don't take action unless necessary."

Roddy blinked. It seemed that he had a higher opinion of Director Sawai.

Obviously, the other party also thought that the fate of mankind should be in his own hands, and wanted to accumulate more experience against monsters instead of relying entirely on the power of Ultraman.

This was exactly what Roddy wanted.

"No problem, I'll pay attention."

Hearing Rody's agreement, Director Sawai's smile became gentler and he bowed slightly to Rody.

"Then please!"

...

It is 300 kilometers away from the Tokyo metropolitan area.
