The Warrior of Love

However, that battle did not seem to be from a "first-person perspective", but rather it was as if he watched the entire battle from the perspective of a spectator.

There is an unknown consciousness controlling the giant's body and constantly instilling relevant information into his mind. At that moment, he seemed to have merged with the unknown consciousness, but the two were independent of each other... It was a wonderful feeling.

It was not until the end of the battle that the consciousness gradually faded away, and no one knew where it went. He instinctively wanted to hide this secret, so he flew away on the surface, but in fact he quietly restored his human body in a place where no one could see him.

It is worth mentioning that he originally entered the stone statue in the form of light, but this time when he turned back into a human, the giant's body did not turn back into a stone statue, but turned into countless particles of light and dissipated.

Dagu could vaguely feel the existence of those particles. Even though he could not see them with his eyes, he knew that those particles had not disappeared and could still be reassembled into the body of a giant.

Thinking of this, Dagu subconsciously touched his chest, where there was a hard stick-like object...

"Team Daigu had a hard time last time."

"What?" Da Gu looked up and found that it was the consultant who was talking to him.

"How was it? You weren't scared at that time, were you?"

The masked man said to the sunny young man: "But I didn't expect that Team Dagu is so powerful. It really surprises me."

"—"

Dagu's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Jiang Liu with wide eyes.

"Sir, are you..."

"Yes, I know everything you did."

"Well!"

Dagu took a deep breath. Although he didn't expect to be discovered so quickly, he didn't have to be afraid since he hadn't done anything wrong. It was just...

Wouldn't I be considered an alien by others?

"I--"

"Team Dagu was able to control the plane to land safely in such an emergency situation and saved my life. It's really amazing."

A voice with a hint of amusement rather than gratitude came from under the helmet: "I owe you a favor, Captain Dagu. If you have any trouble in the future, just come to me."

"Ugh?"

Dagu was stunned, and then realized that he had not been exposed, and his heart suddenly felt relieved.

But then I felt a little lost...

"I saved Commander Kyon?"

"Yeah, you may not remember it, but if you hadn't controlled the plane at that time, I would have died in the explosion."

"This..." Dagu scratched his head.

To be honest, his consciousness was blurred for a while, and he even succeeded in entering the body of the stone statue inexplicably. He really couldn't remember what he did in the chaotic situation before that. Maybe he relied on his skillful driving skills to successfully save the plane and the life of his superior.

"Why, you look confused. Are you not in good spirits recently? Are you still sleepy? Really, as a member of the Victory Team, you must always be in a state of combat readiness."

Jiang Liu patted Da Gu on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Keep working hard, junior."

Chapter 289: Giant Mountain Superpower

A month has passed since the time machine arrived on Earth and Golzan and Melba were defeated by the revived Titans. During this period, everything has been calm. The Victory Team occasionally receives missions, but they have little to do with "monsters". Many of them are just urban legends that have been spread by word of mouth.

Just yesterday, a mining accident occurred in a mine, and the workers who escaped said that it was a "stone-eating monster" that caused the earthquake. After receiving the news, the Victory Team went to investigate.

This time, Jiang Liu, as a consultant, did not follow, but instead remotely observed the Victory Team's duty in the TPC director's exclusive office.

“They are all excellent.”

In a Japanese-style conference room, Jiang Liu and Sawai sat down face to face, but Sawai was kneeling in a very serious posture, while Jiang Liu was quite casual.

The person in charge of TPC picked up the teacup and said, "These are all talents I have discovered from various fields, especially the captain, Megumi Iruma. Although she is a woman, her action, willpower and personal qualities are impeccable. I am very optimistic about her."

"Soichiro, you have always had good vision and have always made the right choices."

Jiang Liu, who was nominally his subordinate, did not address him respectfully as Director or Chief Sawai, but called him by his name directly. Sawai did not seem offended at all and behaved very calmly, as if he was used to it.

"But that young man named Dagu..."

"Why? Isn't he excellent?"

"No, it's the opposite. In a sense, he is also a very rare talent."

Zejing put down his teacup and said, recalling the past: "The name of this young man was in the message you left me. When I found him, he was just a logistics staff of TPC. He didn't have any outstanding professional skills and his academic qualifications were not outstanding. At first, I thought we had the same name.

But after getting to know him, I found that this young man really has valuable qualities that are hard to express in words.

Not only does he have extraordinary determination and action, but he also has amazing perseverance and persistence. He completed the Spartan-style GUTS training course in a very short time, which is simply a miracle. "

"Look, I'm not wrong, am I?"

Jiang Liu chuckled, "This kid may not be as smart as Horii and Nori, who are technical people, and his leadership may not be as good as Iruma Kei, and his execution of orders may not be as good as Munakata, who was a soldier, but he will never lose to anyone in terms of perseverance and will."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have chosen him over the seemingly excellent Masaki Keigo."

Director Sawai smiled and shook his head: "Really, if it comes to vision, I can never beat you, old man."

"Don't talk like I'm old."

Jiang Liu said somewhat unhappily: "Look in the mirror, you are now a real old man...it's almost time for you to retire."

"At least let me finish my last shift, old man."

"As you wish."

The two focused their attention on the virtual image projected on the wall, which was broadcast live by TPC personnel using the latest communication technology to ensure there was no delay and the image was quite clear.

At this time, the mine had been completely destroyed, and as the rumors said, there really was a monster hidden inside.

It looks like a giant rat, but it has huge horns on its head that look very annoying.

However, despite its huge size, this monster was very weak and was completely incomparable to Melba and Golzan, which were left over from the ancient times. The modified Feiyan II blasted it to pieces with a single shot from its main gun.

"He's from Earth, probably C-rank at best."

Ze Jing said calmly: "At this level, there is no need for external intervention. TPC is fully capable of handling it on its own."

"Indeed." Jiang Liu nodded.

Both of them looked indifferent. The monster as big as a hill seemed like stray cats and dogs to them and was not worth being too shocked about.

This is indeed the case. Not to mention the remnants of the ancient times like Jiang Liu, Sawai has also seen the world.

Even when another monster of the same species appeared later, the two remained calm.

When the giant appeared and fought against the monsters, they even had the leisure to comment on Daiko's skills...

"That's totally not possible. Look at this waist. It's too stiff."

"Your center of gravity is not right. How can you use this posture to fight such a short enemy?"

"Alas, young people nowadays..."

"Alas, Ultraman now..."

After the giant successfully defeated his opponent, Sawai turned off the video and quietly sipped his tea.

Jiang Liu was bored, so he stretched and stood up, planning to go to the hangar to welcome the returning Victory Team.

"Old man!"

"Ok?"

"Are you alright...?"

Jiang Liu was slightly startled, then smiled: "You should pay more attention to yourself, Soichiro."

squeak--

The door was closed and Sawai was the only one left in the room. The white-haired old man pursed his lips, took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.

"you are always like this……"

-

"Did the giant appear again today?"

In the Victory Team's meeting room, Jiang Liu observed everyone's reactions with interest.

"Everyone is so lucky. If I had known, I would have gone along too."

"Yeah, when the Victory Swallow was destroyed, I thought I was dead. Fortunately, the giant was there and there were no casualties."

Xincheng said admiringly: "It makes us feel relieved to think that such a big guy is on the same side as us."

Da Gu glanced at him, and although his expression didn't change, he seemed somewhat happy.

Captain Iruma Hui frowned and said, "Shinjo, watch your mentality. If you put all your hopes on the giants, sooner or later you will suffer because of your negligence."

"The captain is right." Zongfang also became serious, "No matter what time, the most reliable person is ourselves. Don't expect others to save us anytime and anywhere."

"Captain, commander...I, I said the wrong thing." Xincheng smiled awkwardly.

Lina came out to smooth things over: "What the captain and the commander said makes sense, but Shinjo did say what we all feel. Fighting alongside the giants really makes us feel safe."

"Well, that's true..."

"It's always the Giant Titan. It's a bit rude to call him that."

Da Gu suddenly said: "Why don't we give him a name."

"Okay!"

Jiang Liu agreed: "Everyone, please share your ideas and see who can come up with a better name."

Since Jiang Liu, the most senior official present, had said so, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, and everyone began to discuss enthusiastically what name to use.

Some people say that since the giant is so tall and big, we should call him "the giant mountain superhero";

Some people think that the giant is unstoppable when running, so they call him "Attack on Titan";

Some people got inspiration from American comics and giants, and came up with the name "Ultraman"...

Jiang Liu's expression became more and more subtle, but fortunately no one else could see it.

In the end, it was the knowledgeable Nori who made the final decision: "Look at this. This is a special effects series shot by a director thirty years ago. Aren't the characters in it very similar to the giants?"

"Huh? They're more than similar, the styling features are the same."

"Could it be a coincidence?"

"Well, Team Member Nori, can you find some information about this director? I feel like he already knew about the existence of the giants."

"I've looked for him. The director has passed away, and he only made one special effects film called 'Ultraman: The Cosmic Superman'. However, he seemed to have been very obsessed with this film during his lifetime."

“It’s intriguing.”

"Let's not talk about that for now..." Jiang Liu clapped his hands, "Anyway, let's just use this name first. The giant will be called "Ultraman"... Well, I like this pronunciation better."

"But there's no way to separate it from the virtual character. It's a bit unfair to the Titans."

"Then how about adding another identifying name... Tiga?"

"Diga?"

"Correct!"

Dagu smiled and said, "The place where we found the pyramid is called "Diga Land" in the local dialect, isn't it?"

"Ultraman Tiga... the giant from the land of Tiga? Sounds good."

"And the pronunciation of Tiga is the same as the sacred number "three" in Indonesian, which corresponds to his trinity form. Wow! When I think about it this way, it feels like fate."

"Then it's decided happily!"

"Very good, seeing that everyone is so excited, I will take advantage of the situation to make an announcement."

Jiang Liu tapped the table with his fingers, and the meeting room suddenly became quiet. He looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, although the atmosphere was very harmonious, the Victory Team was also a disciplined force and they were still very serious when it was time to be serious. This saved me from having to remind them specifically.

"According to a special source of intelligence, many of the top leaders (Sawai and Jiangliu) believe that the Earth has now entered the "Monster Active Period."

"Monster active period?"

This new statement made everyone look at each other, and no one showed an expression as if they had heard of it before.

"Yes, that is to say, in the next period of time, various crises will continue to occur on Earth. They may be problems left over from the ancient times, sudden mutations of organisms, or alien visitors...
