The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

Everyone, including Masaki Keigo, remained silent as they stared at the red giant that had suddenly appeared on the satellite map.

With just one punch, he shattered the mechanical shark that Masaki Keigo had painstakingly created.

This enormous disparity in strength cannot be excused by "sneak attack" or "coincidence".

This is clearly a one-sided crushing defeat, the perfect evidence that the red giant is superior to all living beings.

"Sir, I think it's still not too late to recall the pilots we just sent out."

It is very clear about Gaiozak's physical strength.

Masaki Keigo did not believe that the base's aircraft could cause any real damage to the Red Giant.

Besides, it's hard to say whether it's just Masaki Keigo's imagination.

The moment the red giant appeared, he seemed to see some ancient memory he had never seen before.

That was a war between giants!

It was a scene resembling Ragnarok!

Masaki Keigo's intuition told him that Earth was currently incapable of dealing with the Red Giants.

"I am the commander here!"

The highest-ranking officer, his face grim, lowered his voice and retorted in an unquestionable tone.

"No matter which planet this giant is from, we absolutely cannot let him run rampant on Earth!"

The top officer is not only a hawk in the TPC, but also a hawk who truly possesses courage and conviction.

"My pilots are prepared to die in the line of duty."

"They will make that red giant know that the dignity of Earthlings is inviolable!"

......................................................................................................

"Is that the real 'guardian'?"

They stared blankly at the suddenly appearing red giant.

Saki, who had somehow retreated back into the hotel, couldn't help but murmur to herself.

Saki always believed that Gedi was the guardian of this planet, and its subsequent transformation further confirmed this.

However, it wasn't until the Red Giant appeared that Saki realized she might have misunderstood something.

Compared to Gedi, the Red Giant's imposing presence and majesty made him seem more like a guardian of a planet.

This feeling was even stronger when the opponent shattered Gaiozak with a single punch and maintained a cool yet somewhat contemptuous demeanor throughout.

"What is His name?"

When this thought popped into Saki's mind, she suddenly turned to look at Daigo beside her.

"what?"

This unexpected question completely stumped Daigo, who was standing next to her.

Daigo wasn't sure whether Saki was asking for the name of the red giant or Lu Xuan.

After all, Lu Xuan never revealed his identity from beginning to end, and even the appearance he showed in front of Sha Ji was disguised by the force field generator.

"he and I……"

Daigo opened his mouth as if to speak, but before he could think too much, Saki interrupted his hesitation.

"Daigo, don't lie to me, I have eyes."

When Saki called out the name "Daigo," that familiar yet unfamiliar feeling welled up in his heart again.

This time, Daigo finally remembered Saki's identity.

"It's you?!"

With a hint of surprise and astonishment, Daigo's memory seemed to return to more than ten years ago.

At that time, Daigo's parents were still alive, and he was just an ignorant, impulsive child full of adventurous spirit.

After getting his first bicycle, young Daigo, like every adventurous child, rode his bicycle at breakneck speed through the town.

By the time Daigo realized what was happening, he was already lost.

Fear, apprehension, terror...

As time passed, a variety of complex feelings gradually welled up in Daigo's heart.

That was the first time Daigo had ever experienced being far from home and all alone since he was born.

That fear brought about by loneliness and solitude, that feeling of being helpless and alone, is still etched in Daigo's memory to this day.

As Daigo pushed his bicycle along the beach, searching for his way home, he seemed to see a girl who also exuded an aura of loneliness and sadness.

In that instant, Daigo realized that the other person was just like him, a "child" who couldn't find their way home.

Perhaps it's the attraction between people of the same kind?

Feeling somewhat scared and apprehensive, Daigo took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the girl and received a gentle smile and response from her.

With the girl's gentle smile, Daigo gradually regained his former vitality and was no longer afraid of the fear brought about by loneliness and solitude.

That day, Daigo and the girl talked for a long time.

However, Daigo couldn't quite remember what the two talked about.

Daigo only vaguely remembered that the girl possessed a maturity and naivety that did not match her appearance.

When discussing certain topics, Daigo felt as if he were chatting with his parents or elders.

However, when discussing other topics, Daigo felt as if he were talking to a girl who was younger than him.

This contradiction between maturity and naivety left a very deep impression on Daigo regarding the girl.

Until the sun sets and dusk falls.

Having already seen through Daigo's thoughts, the girl not only pointed him in the right direction to go home, but also gently watched him leave.

Unfortunately, while the girl could guide Daigo home, she herself couldn't return to her own home.

......................................................................................................

"Has your family... not come to pick you up yet?"

Upon realizing that Saki was the girl from over ten years ago, Daigo paused for a moment before asking softly in a slightly suppressed voice.

"They'll come to pick me up sooner or later!"

Unlike the confusion and sadness she felt more than a decade ago, the young woman is now able to answer Daigo's question with a firm tone.

These were the words that young Daigo used to comfort the girl when they parted ways.

"You haven't answered my question yet?"

"What...is His/Her name?"

Skipping over the topic that made her sad, Saki repeated the question she had asked earlier.

Lu Xuan's sudden disappearance, the sudden appearance of the red giant...

Coupled with Gedi's contradictory attitude of being both easygoing and somewhat fearful towards the Red Giant, it's hard not to draw parallels.

Saki's current question is less of an interrogation and more of a search for a definitive answer.

“You might call Him…Galvin.”

Chapter 72 The Rod of God

"what!"

The Red Giant… or rather, Galvin ignored the discussion coming from behind him.

From the moment he appeared, Galvin sensed an impending crisis.

Not those aircraft flying over from the military base.

The distance between the two is too great. Even if they were all equipped with the WING system, it would still take them at least several tens of minutes to fly over.

The crisis that Galvin sensed came from overhead, from Earth's outer orbit at an altitude of over 100,000 meters.

Thanks to the powerful eyesight that comes with transforming into a giant.

Standing on the Earth's surface, Gaelvin could clearly see the "anomaly" taking place in Earth's outer orbit.

Click! Click! Click!

Outside Earth's orbit, a space-based satellite that should have been silenced with the disbandment of the Earth Defense Force has been reawakened.

Silence—Boom!

After simple deformation and calibration.

Several tungsten rods, each weighing several tons, were slowly "spit out" by the space-based satellite under laser guidance.

Immediately afterwards, the tungsten rods, like meteorites falling from the sky, plummeted to the earth at an almost terrifying speed under the influence of gravity.

Based on the current acceleration of those tungsten rods, it would take them less than ten minutes to travel from space to the ground.

This is the space-based kinetic energy weapon system secretly developed by TPC Americas – the Rod of God!

Space-based kinetic energy weapon systems—that is, by mimicking the force of a meteorite impact, transforming ultra-high-density tungsten metal into the most powerful strategic weapon.

This powerful strategic weapon is also known as a "pollution-free" nuclear bomb.

It is said to possess the power to destroy a city with a single blow, and is the most terrifying "cannonball" that converts potential energy into kinetic energy.

The power of this weapon is so great that it's as if "God" has cast his "scepter" down on Earth from outer space.

Therefore, when TPC Americas was secretly developing it, it was given the code name "Rod of God".

To be honest, similar "fantasy weapons" had appeared in Lu Xuan's previous life as well.

However, due to differences in technology development and research levels.

The challenges of precise guidance and the exorbitant cost of sending tungsten rods into space have hindered the development of "space-based kinetic energy weapons" from blueprints to reality.

However, in this parallel Earth, neither of the above-mentioned technological limitations are still limitations.

Needless to say, TPC has been dedicated to the exploration of outer space since its inception.

The emergence of the WING system and GUTS-WING is enough to demonstrate the remarkable performance of this planet in terms of intelligence and materials science.

Military satellites with supercomputing power and predictive capabilities, coupled with guidance systems that are not susceptible to damage from atmospheric friction...

This "space-based kinetic energy weapon system," now a reality, is fully capable of achieving precision strikes with an error of no more than one meter.

As for the exorbitant cost of sending tungsten rods into space?

On this planet where new energy technologies have already been widely adopted in civilian applications.

Sending tons of tungsten rods into space is just a somewhat complicated process; it doesn't actually cost much at all.

Most importantly, space-based kinetic energy weapons have an unparalleled and enormous advantage over traditional missile systems.

That means that as long as the space-based satellite is successfully launched, it will be possible to carry out precision strikes on a global scale.

Because space-based satellites reside in Earth's outer orbit, their attacks are not linear, but rather have an arc that changes with Earth's rotation.

In theory, with simple calculations, a space-based satellite could launch a tungsten rod over the Americas, with the target being an intercontinental strike in the Asian region.

Apart from certain specialized anti-satellite weapons, most powers are helpless against these "Swords of Damocles" hanging high in the sky.

......................................................................................................

What madman did this?

This was the first thought that popped into Galvin's mind when he realized what those black rods meant.

A practical space-based kinetic weapon has the power to destroy an area at any time.

If several black rods were launched simultaneously, the entire city of Amami would likely be sunk.

The madman who chose to do this probably didn't care about the Japanese government's reaction, but he was also aware of the terrifying power hidden within the Red Giant.

Is this the treatment given to 'protagonists' and 'supporting characters'?

It was only at this moment that Galvin realized the important role the Victory Team played in endorsing Ultraman Tiga.
