Dark Tiga, what are you doing?

Chapter 204 Camilla and Megumi

When Deputy Director Ji Gang first heard the name "Holy Kingdom," it was from an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

At first, he was dismissive of the Holy Kingdom.

So-called sects are nothing but falsehoods and illusions.

It can only provide psychological comfort, and as a member of the TPC and a leading figure in the hawkish faction, Ji Gang believes he has absolutely no need for such things.

So he didn't care at all.

But later, he discovered that it wasn't just his old friend, whom he hadn't seen for many years, who strongly advocated for the Holy Kingdom.

He even heard the words "Holy Kingdom" from some of his colleagues and other heads of state.

This aroused the curiosity of Deputy Director Ji Gang. What kind of sect could be prevalent among people like them? They were in high positions and naturally disdained sectarianism, especially since he was a high-ranking official in a place that gathered elite talents from all over the world.

Logically speaking, no religious sect should have spread to them, let alone become a believer.

This is completely unrealistic. Deputy Director Ji Gang knows all too well what kind of people his colleagues and friends are.

Unless this holy kingdom truly possesses some special ability that allows it to attract its colleagues and friends.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have bothered to introduce themselves to me.

Deputy Director Ji Gang kept a close eye on the Holy Kingdom.

They also had the intention to investigate.

However, we are currently engaged in the task of excavating and developing ancient ruins.

Therefore, he did not have the time to deal with this matter and could only discuss it at another time.

Unexpectedly, even Director Sawai, whom he respected most, uttered the words "holy heaven." This caused a look of worry to appear in Deputy Director Yoshitsugu's eyes.

If even the leader of the TPC has been absorbed into the Holy Kingdom, then what future does humanity have?

Fortunately, what the director said next put Deputy Director Ji Gang at ease.

"The recent incident involving the Holy Kingdom has caused quite a stir, almost globally," Director Sawai said. "I've already asked the captain of the GUTS team to investigate this matter, but we don't know whether the Holy Kingdom is good or bad for all of humanity."

“Megumi, is it?” Yoshitsugu thought of that strong-willed woman.

To rise to the position of captain in a women's singles competition, her abilities are certainly not to be underestimated.

In fact.

Ji Gang also admired Captain Ji Jian Hui.

If it's Captain Megumi, then there's probably no problem.

“I’ve heard about the Holy Kingdom for a long time, and I was planning to investigate it myself after a while, but I didn’t expect you to arrange it first, Director.” Ji Gang stroked his beard and said, “I don’t know where this Holy Kingdom started, but it spread very quickly. Although I haven’t investigated it in detail, it feels like it experienced explosive growth in a short period of time, and the Holy Kingdom became a global sect in a short period of time.”

“That’s right.” Director Sawai looked into the distance and said, “That’s exactly right. Moreover, the Holy Kingdom has some methods that we don’t have. These methods are simply supernatural phenomena, which is why I sent the captain to investigate.”

"A supernatural phenomenon?" Deputy Director Ji Gang squinted.

No wonder.

He said that it was impossible for a religion to spread across the globe like a spark, and sure enough, this sect had some special circumstances that they hadn't expected.

However, if it's a supernatural phenomenon, then all of this is perfectly normal.

Only religions possessing supernatural abilities can rise and develop so rapidly in a short period of time, even attracting high-ranking officials worldwide to consider joining the Holy Kingdom.

……

……

Meanwhile, the higher-ups of the Holy Kingdom were already aware that they were being targeted by the TPC. However, they were not surprised at all. After all, it was only a matter of time before they were targeted, given their immense size. Even the combined population of the most famous cults on Earth did not match theirs.

Moreover, they possess some extraordinary abilities, so it's inevitable that they would be noticed. In fact, if they hadn't been noticed at all, then TPC would be useless.

In response to the greeting from TPC, the high-ranking officials of the Holy Kingdom dispatched a saintess to communicate with them.

They still adhere to the sect's principles and will never provoke trouble. They will uphold the ideals of unity and friendship and develop together with everyone. Therefore, they sent the Holy Maiden to hold a meeting with the person in charge sent by TPC to fully express the friendliness of their Holy Kingdom.

They had reason to believe that the TPC would treat them, a benevolent supernatural force, favorably. This was certainly not because many of their followers held positions of power within the world's elite.

The saint sent out by the Holy Kingdom was Camilla.

Camilla, the saintess, came to this timeline from another Ultraman Tiga timeline. After learning of this, Camilla made preparations.

Since it was a force created by Dark Tiga, she naturally had to do her best and not slack off in the slightest, ensuring that the Holy Kingdom could properly resolve the issues during this meeting.

However, she didn't know that the person sent by TPC was Captain Megumi Kijima.

Even less is it clear that the captain has the same face as Yu Lian, his old enemy from 30 million years ago.

“Big Sister, this meeting…” Hitler stood beside Camilla in human form.

Camilla adopted a confident stance, saying, "No problem at all, leave everything to me, I'll handle it."

“With Big Sister’s abilities, there’s definitely no problem.” Darram nodded honestly.

It's clear that the boss in the ancient era possessed not only top-tier combat power, but also the means to handle matters.

He believed in the eldest sister's abilities and that she could perfectly resolve this matter. After all, they had lived for tens of millions of years; how could they not even be able to handle negotiation and communication? That was clearly impossible.

Moreover, the eldest sister's status in the ancient times was extremely high, both before and after she transformed into Ultraman.

Sending Camilla to negotiate is already quite a show of respect.

……

……

"The meeting with TPC?" As a saintess, Suzuki Ame was aware of this.

However, the Holy Kingdom did not send her there.

That's fine then; Suzuki Amane clearly understands her own position. As a member of TPC's logistics department, what would it look like if she appeared at a meeting like this?

What will TPC think when they find out?
Although she didn't go there in person, that doesn't mean she wasn't paying attention to the meeting, which could directly affect the relationship between the TPC and the Holy Kingdom. And the TPC, after all, is an official organization; even if the Holy Kingdom is powerful, it's not advisable to have official conflicts with an official organization.

She was very curious about the outcome of the meeting.

Just as she was paying close attention, her cell phone suddenly rang.

"Mosimoxi?"

"Suzuki, where are you? The logistics department is under a lot of pressure and has a lot of work to do right now. Don't be absent. Come back as soon as you're done with your work."

On the other end of the phone was Tian Liuhai.

Transportation of various large and precious materials.

Tian Liuhai is indeed quite busy. Normally, with younger colleagues by his side, he can delegate everything to them. After all, he's practically grooming them as his successors, so they can handle many things. Even matters beyond their authority, as long as they fall within Tian Liuhai's jurisdiction, can be perfectly resolved by Suzuki Yu. This kind of situation is quite common.

For someone like Tian Liuhai, who is like an ox or a horse.

He was unwilling to deal with it.

If someone offered him this opportunity, he would even feel like he was being exploited by capitalists. But in Suzuki Ame's eyes, this was an opportunity given by her superiors, a sign that her seniors valued her, so she would never refuse it, and would even work with great enthusiasm.

“Oh.” Suzuki Yu nodded.

As a member of the logistics department, she could indeed feel that the department had been quite busy lately. While it might seem that the logistics department didn't play a significant role on a daily basis, its actual function was paramount. Every department needed the logistics department's coordination and assistance to operate, let alone something as complex as establishing a Mars base. The logistics department had to operate at full speed to support this effort.

Suzuki Ame was also able to take this opportunity to figure out what TPC was trying to do.

Could it be that on the surface they want to negotiate with the Holy Kingdom, but in reality they are mobilizing troops and resources to prepare to attack the Holy Kingdom?

Before becoming a member of the Holy Kingdom, Suzuki Yu didn't think much of it, but after becoming one, she understood that the Holy Kingdom's stance was absolutely good. Moreover, the Holy Kingdom's reach was vast; if war were to break out so easily, it would be a global catastrophe. Although it might not seem as devastating as the previous world-ending wars, she was well aware that it would be enough to cause the collapse of human civilization.

If evil alien invaders were to come and wreak havoc on Earth again, humanity would truly be powerless to resist.

However, TPC's top management isn't stupid; logically, this shouldn't have happened. Therefore, there's only one other possibility: TPC has other plans to pursue.

The meeting with the Holy Kingdom. This is only part of it; there are likely other things being prepared behind the scenes.

Perhaps the senior knows something.

With the question lingering in her mind, Suzuki Ame asked it.

"You mean this matter? At the last meeting, the higher-ups decided to establish an outpost on Mars, as well as a Mars research base, which requires a lot of manpower and resources." Normally, this information would only be known among the higher-ups, and those selected to go to Mars would be qualified to know the inside story.

Apart from that, no one else is qualified to know, but the relationship between Suzuki Ame and Tenryukai is quite special. As the human form of the two being one, this information is nothing in Tenryukai's eyes, so he can naturally tell her.

After hearing about the Mars base and outpost, Suzuki Yu was stunned. She hadn't expected TPC to be so bold as to plan to intercept and eliminate the invading enemy on Mars.

But could this really succeed? Suzuki Yu couldn't help but recall the previous battles. It seemed that human capabilities alone wouldn't be enough to keep such a terrifying enemy at bay, unless... Suzuki Yu glanced down at the Ultra Ring.

With Ultraman's help, things are different. If the main battlefield is chosen to be Mars, the damage to Earth can be greatly reduced. However, among the many Ultramen, Gaia and Agul might be the only ones who might be inconvenienced. Earth is their home turf. And away from Earth, their fighting power would decrease somewhat.

Even the continuous flight time is not as good as before.

However, compared to their goal, the fact that the two Ultramen's fighting power has only decreased is not a big deal.

……

……

the other side.

Takayama Gamu and Fujimiya Hiroya are still working with Hikari on the Wishing Red Ball.

During his time on Alchemy Star, Nori's computer skills improved significantly. His interactions with the computer geniuses on Alchemy Star broadened his horizons, and the fact that Hikari, the director of the Land of Light's Research Bureau, could casually offer Nori immense guidance was also incredibly beneficial.

Meanwhile, the computer genius from Alchemy Star was utterly astonished by the Wild Team members who had Hikari.

Mingming Ye Rui's team wasn't this strong when they came last time.

Although he is quite a top figure in the industry, he shouldn't be this extraordinary. However, after this exchange, he seemed like a completely different person. The specific points he raised were very helpful to him.

So this is a computer genius from a global organization? He originally thought his abilities were quite good. He was unmoved by TPC's past recruitment attempts and didn't take them seriously at all. But now he felt like a frog in a well.

Even after joining Alchemy Star, he still felt it was a gathering place for geniuses from all walks of life, and that he was quite excellent in his own field. It wasn't until he met Wildra that he realized he needed to completely abandon those previous notions.

I've really been living in a well and looking at the sky too narrowly.

The computer genius from Alchemy Star secretly resolved to improve his computer skills. He was determined to impress the Wild Team members next time they met.

Inside the experimental base of the Wishing Red Ball, Hikari planned to activate it again. He had figured out the basic principles of the Wishing Red Ball, but there were still a few things he wanted to confirm.

So he and the others decided to make another wish on the wishing red ball to verify it.

Let's see if everything is as he suspects.

If so, then Hikari can definitively confirm that after these three wishes, he can also create an equivalent wishing red ball, or a wishing basketball and a wishing black ball.

In short, once the principle is understood, the color is not important. He also admires the human civilization that was able to create the wishing red ball. If it weren't for bad luck, they might have had the opportunity to create the Plasma Spark Tower.

"So what wishes do you want to make next?" Takayama Gamu asked.

“I have a favor to ask,” Hikari said. “I want to use the Wishing Red Ball to see what the future of the Land of Light will be like. I’m very curious about what the future of the Land of Light will be like.”

Faced with Hikari's request, the group didn't refuse. After all, it was the land of giants, and they were very curious about the Land of Light. So, if they could use the red sphere to see what the Land of Light would look like in the future, it would be a good choice. At least it would satisfy their curiosity to some extent and let them know what the Land of Light would look like in the future.

After receiving everyone's consent, Hikari did not hesitate.

They immediately surrounded the red wishing ball to prevent any accidents from happening while making a wish. Although nothing had happened last time, they couldn't afford to be careless.

And so Hikari made his wish.

The wishing red ball once again emitted light, revealing a glimpse of the future of the Land of Light before everyone's eyes.

However, the glimpse of the future of the Land of Light that they saw did not appear to be a good one; in fact, it seemed quite bad.

What they saw was a land of war in the Land of Light, where every Ultraman was facing a monster in a bloody battle.

Hikari was taken aback again. Could it be that the Monster Graveyard had gone out of control? But if you zoom out a little further, you can see that it's not just a simple case of the Monster Graveyard going out of control. With the arrival of a dark power, both the monsters and Ultraman were all controlled.

Their enormous bodies transformed into tiny spark dolls that fell to the ground, their power sealed within them, making escape impossible.

This can absolutely be called the most devastating battle in the history of the Land of Light since its founding.

What on earth happened? How could the Land of Light have become like this? Looking at the hellish scene displayed on the screen, Hikari felt that something terrible was about to happen.

Who has the ability to turn the Land of Light into this state?

Whether it's Ultraman or monsters, they all suffer.

The newcomer's strength is absolutely not to be underestimated; he seems even more powerful than the Alien Empera.

who is it?

Hikari moved the red ball around, wanting to get a closer look.

However, this is difficult.

Until the very end, all he could see was a massive, pitch-black figure with crimson eyes and an enormous body. It stood beside the Plasma Spark Tower, locked in battle with a giant figure radiating blue light.

The two sides exchanged blows, and the battle was fierce.
