I am Gatanothor, Seven x Human Form

"Sister, come in quickly! The Holy Church provides lots of delicious food and drinks for free. Even sanitation workers can come in to cool off and have a bite to eat when they're tired. Everyone in the neighborhood praises it." Little Bird skipped in, skillfully picked up a glass of cold drink from the table, and took a sip. The people around her were already used to Little Bird, and some even greeted her warmly. It was clear that they were quite familiar with each other.

Lina walked in, picked up a piece of cake, examined it, hesitated slightly, and then took a bite. She was worried, concerned that the food might have been drugged, causing her to be mentally controlled. Otherwise, why provide free food?

This is very rare. Or rather, almost no one would do this.

She took a bite and found the cake to be surprisingly delicious. After savoring it, Lina began to observe the people at the base.

Everyone's facial expressions didn't seem to be controlled; the overall impression was very natural.

"Oh dear, young lady, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? You'd better enjoy yourself. Food and water are free. If you have any difficulties in life, you can pray silently before the gods, and they will respond to you." An old woman in a kimono walked over with a kind smile.

"Grandma Lily!" Little Bird rushed over to greet the newcomer.

"Little Flying Bird is so good." Grandma Lily stroked Little Flying Bird's head affectionately.

l

"Grandma," Lina turned around and greeted her in a friendly manner.

She observed the old woman's expression; she seemed to be in good condition and was probably a member of the Holy Church, living a comfortable life.

"Hmm? Little girl, your face looks familiar, like I've seen you a long time ago." The moment Grandma Lily saw Lina's face, she seemed to vaguely recall something, but she couldn't be sure for a long time, and kept looking at Lina with a puzzled expression.

"I don't think so. I don't remember ever seeing you before, Grandma. I think this is the first time we've met." Lina stared at the old woman for a moment, but she couldn't recall ever meeting her.

"Are you Lina?" Grandma Lily blurted out.

"Huh? Yes, Grandma, you know me?" Lina asked in surprise.

However, I wasn't very surprised. After all, as a member of the GUTS team, her information could be found online, and her face could be seen on TV, although only very rarely.

"I am Yuri Tezuka." Granny Yuri looked as if she had just realized something, and then smiled at Lina.

"Tezuka Yuri?" Lina was stunned, her face showing disbelief. She looked the old woman up and down, her mouth slightly agape, and exclaimed in surprise, "Are you the Tezuka Yuri who came from the past to the present?"

"Yes, it's me. It's been so long! Decades have passed in the blink of an eye. I've grown so old, while you're still in your prime. This era belongs to you; I'm old now." Grandma Lily smiled and said, "I still can't forget what happened decades ago. Those scenes are deeply etched in my heart. For me at the time, it was an momentous event, unforgettable. After returning, I became even more determined to study hard and even wrote a science fiction collection about that experience, which won a good award and a prize."

"Wow... I never thought I'd see you again." Lina was a little dazed. In her hazy memory, she seemed to see the image of Yuri Tezuka in the old woman's eyebrows.

A youthful face, a shy expression, the freshness of a young girl...

In the blink of an eye, she became an old woman.

"I never thought we'd see each other again," Grandma Lily said with a smile.

After decades, she has come to terms with some things. They are simply unforgettable and deeply memorable.

"How have you been these past few decades?" Lina's mind went blank for a moment before she calmed down and said, "You even wrote a science fiction short story about this special experience and won an award. You must have been a talented young female author back then."

"I've been through a lot these past few decades, and overall I've done pretty well. As for being a genius author... I wouldn't dare say that. I only wrote that one short science fiction story, and I haven't published anything since." Grandma Lily looked at Lina with a smile.

Lina calmed herself down and smiled slightly.

She then voiced her doubts, saying, "You're almost a hundred years old now, a very old person. Why are you here with this so-called Holy Church? What exactly does the Holy Church represent? It seems like there are many prominent figures gathered here; you don't look like you've been brainwashed..."

"Are you worried that the Holy Church is a cult?" Yuri Tezuka shook her head slightly and said, "I had considered that before joining the Holy Church, but after witnessing what the Holy Church brought me, I chose to join it and believe in its gods. The emergence of the Holy Church is no less than my time traveling to the future. Both are the most mysterious things I have ever seen."

"Oh?" Lina's interest was piqued, and she asked, "Could you explain in more detail?"

"Well, it all started on that day. It was a bright and sunny morning..." Yuri Tezuka recalled witnessing the miracle of the Holy Church. A woman with a terminal illness had to write her will in advance, along with birthday wishes for her daughter. If nothing unexpected happened, this young mother would soon pass away. However, after praying before the deity of the Holy Church, her terminal illness gradually disappeared, and she recovered completely...

After witnessing it firsthand, Tezuka Yuri became curious. At that time, she was so old that she could hardly walk. After all, when Nori was a child, she already had a head of silver hair, and more than ten years had passed, so naturally she had aged even more, to the point where she could hardly walk anymore. In another year or so, she would probably pass away.

With the help of others, she shakily made her way into the Holy Church.

After she saw the statue of the holy deity, she paid her respects.

After praying, it was obvious to the naked eye that she felt much better.

The moment she stood up, Yuri Tezuka felt better than ever before.

It felt like I was back in my youth in an instant.

Of course, that was just an illusion. It was because she had been dragging her aging body for so long that she had never felt the vitality of her youth. After receiving the blessing of the Holy God, this illusion was created.

However, as this power continued to nourish her body, Yuri Tezuka was indeed rejuvenated. Not to mention being able to rival another old lady with both strength and speed A, at least her physical condition seemed to have returned to that of her youth; she could walk, jump, and run.

After listening to Yuri Tezuka's account, Lina was very curious and said, "Are the gods of the Holy Church really that magical? Just by worshipping them, they can make a person feel completely refreshed and reborn from death. It sounds incredible."

“It’s not just about worshipping; it requires sincerity…” Yuri Tezuka shook her head and said, “It’s hard to describe in words. You should try it yourself. Gods accept everything and have a salvation philosophy for all living beings.”

Since things had come to this point, Lina naturally had no choice but to go and see what kind of magical power the so-called Holy God possessed, which even Tezuka Yuri, who had experienced time travel, highly praised.

Led by Yuri Tezuka, she made her way to the place where the statue of the Holy God was located.

When Lina glanced at the statue of the holy deity, an even greater question arose in her heart. She asked in bewilderment, "Isn't something wrong with the statue of the god?"

“No, that’s exactly it. No one knows what God looks like. He can take any form, so he is nothingness. In the end, we use a sphere to honor God. It looks like a round stone ball, but in reality, it is a god who can change into countless forms.” Tezuka Yuri explained to Rena with reverence.

Upon hearing this, Lina became even more curious about the existence of gods. As a technologist, Lina did not believe in the existence of gods from the bottom of her heart. The so-called gods were just beings of human imagination, using methods that ordinary people could not understand, which is why they were called gods.

However, since she was already there, she naturally wanted to experience the process of worshipping the holy god.

Following Tezuka Yuri's instructions, Lina slowly and deliberately worshipped the Holy God.

Continuously concentrate your attention, hypnotize yourself, and feel reverence for the so-called holy god, while also slowly reciting some of your inner doubts.

After repeating this for several minutes, Lina blinked. She seemed to see a dark light flashing in front of her, and some kind of phantom image flashed by.

This made her rub her eyes, and when she looked closely, it was still just an ordinary stone ball.

"Huh?" This scene convinced Lina that the so-called Holy God was not some figment of imagination, but a real being with mysterious abilities behind the scenes.

She told Yuri Tezuka what she had just witnessed, wanting to know if Yuri Tezuka had also seen it.

Upon hearing this, Yuri Tezuka smiled and said, "The Holy God has acknowledged you. Although you haven't seen the Holy God's face, it's unmistakable—that is the Holy God's power. You say you don't believe in the Holy God, but in reality, you respect the Holy God deeply. Otherwise, why would the Holy God respond to your prayers? Just wait, the gods have already answered. Good fortune will soon befall you, and misfortune will be dispelled. You must know that even saints who steadfastly walk the right path can sometimes be tripped up by sudden misfortune, but under the protection of the gods, misfortune is hard to infiltrate."

"Huh? Really?" Lina blinked.

"Don't worry. I know you still have doubts and some disbelief in your heart, but in the days to come, you will gradually understand the power of God, and God will bless you." Yuri Tezuka smiled and said, "Actually, I am already over 100 years old. The reason I can still move normally is because God has blessed me."

"Over a hundred years old?!" Lina exclaimed in shock.

"I clock in and out at the same time every day. Even if I lose perfect attendance, I can't lose this enthusiasm."

Unlike others who are pursuing their own paths, Wu Maquan has always maintained a nonchalant attitude, never pursuing much in life, only enjoying the present moment.

He spent his days slacking off in the lab with Seven, watching videos together.

While I was scrolling, I suddenly received a report.

It is said that in the next few days, a Mechagodzilla pilot will bring several trainee Jaeger pilots to this area for a series of training sessions, and the person in charge of this area is asked to be prepared.

"The pilots of Mechagodzilla? Zara and Lucia, huh?" Wumaquan raised an eyebrow, looking at the message that suddenly came to his computer, and muttered to himself.

“It’s a good opportunity for you to meet them. Haven’t you two not seen each other for a while? It seems like it’s been a month or so since Zara and Lucia became Mechagodzilla pilots,” Seven said.

"It didn't take that long, it was actually just over a month," Wumaquan said.

“They’ll be very happy to see you,” Seven said.

“Maybe.” Wumaquan shrugged and said, “They should be basking in the joy of being able to pilot Mechagodzilla to protect the Earth. I think they should be proud of it now.”

“Earth has become their second home. For people whose homeland has been destroyed, it is natural to want to protect their second homeland,” Seven said.

"Speaking of which, it's no wonder I've seen a lot of orders for unfamiliar equipment lately. I was wondering what was going on, and it turns out that mecha pilots are coming here for special training," Wu Maquan recalled.

“You can also train with us,” Seven said. “Experience the atmosphere of human effort.”

"Are you sure? If I were to take the test, I'm afraid I'd be selected immediately. The reason for requiring two pilots is because the stress on the nerves and the physical burden is too great, but with my abilities, there's absolutely no problem. If I were to take the test, I'm afraid I could just pilot it solo. If I become a mecha hunter pilot, I'd have to hesitate even when transforming to avoid revealing my identity," Wu Maquan said confidently.

It's absurd that Seven's human form and the Dark Ruler are not qualified to be mecha pilots.

Upon hearing this, Seven thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes some sense. Then let's not go."

"Actually, it's not necessarily impossible to go. We just need to choose a time when no one is around to test it out," Wu Maquan said. "This is roughly how you experience the atmosphere."

“Sure, I think it’s a good idea,” Seven agreed.

Seven had no other thoughts, he just felt that staying here with Wumaquan watching videos all the time was going to ruin him sooner or later.

Why not take the test together and give him special training, so that he can at least feel some of the feeling he had when he was in the defense force?

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

The Pioneer World.

All the pioneers received news that a mysterious giant had appeared in their territory and attacked several of their strongholds. The monsters they created were of little use and were slaughtered by the mysterious giant.

This angered the pioneers.

This is the first time they've been invaded and counter-invaded, and beaten so helplessly.

They worked tirelessly, day and night, to create monsters, hoping to create even stronger and larger fusion monsters. In the eyes of the Pioneers, there were no invincible enemies; if there were, it was simply because they hadn't created enough monsters of sufficient quantity and quality. As long as they frantically produced a large number of monsters and then fused them to improve their quality, there would be no enemy they couldn't defeat.

Masaki Keigo, through his frenzied slaughter of the Pioneers and biological weapons, roughly confirmed the limits of his power as a Giant of Light after his transformation.

He stayed quietly on the spaceship, recording the information of the pioneers. Having confirmed some of the values, he had no intention of holding back.

After wreaking havoc on several strongholds of the Pioneers, who knows if some of them might be tempted to flee? He needs to eliminate them all before that happens, since as his terrifying strength increases dramatically, it's easy for enemies to become inclined to run away.

"Next, we'll detonate it from the outside first, and then wipe out any survivors. We expect to resolve this perfectly within five days."

P.S.: Requesting votes, rewards, and even blades of hatred! _(:з」∠)_

Time for bed, time for bed (?3[▓▓])

Chapter 146 I, Masaki Keigo, Apollo Human Form

Masaki Keigo was making plans on the spaceship.

With his current abilities, he can easily complete this plan without any pressure.

Just as Masaki Keigo was making his plans, he suddenly noticed that a black meteor-like object was falling from the sky, its light unmistakable, and judging by its direction, it seemed to be heading straight for him.

This made his eyes narrow, and his intuition told him that this was not a good thing.

He slowly pulled out the transformation prism, poised to unleash its power, his eyes fixed intently on the approaching black light source.

As he drew nearer, Masaki Keigo could clearly see the inside of the light source. It was a ball of light composed of ghostly resentment, with a constant stream of noisy arguments inside, enough to give anyone a headache just by listening to it.

Masaki Keigo realized something was wrong and tried to activate the prism to transform into a giant, but he seemed to be a step too late. When the black light enveloped the spaceship, it was as if he had entered the belly of a monster, and his movements became sluggish and he could hardly move.

He could only watch helplessly as the vengeful spirits surrounding him observed him for a long time before surging into his body one after another.
