Land of Light: I am Supermodel Tiga, One-Punch King

Nozue looked at Kijima Megumi while holding the phone, "Captain, Nezu Masachika, who developed Zildar Gas, is right at the base entrance."

“Have the guards bring him here,” Megumi Kijima said immediately.

"He actually dared to come here, and he even researched such dangerous things!"

The new town was very annoyed.

If it were to explode accidentally, how many lives would be lost?

"The new city, Zildar gas was created by chance."

Megumi's expression was complicated. "Besides, Dr. Nezu is also a pitiful person."

"Pitiful?" Lina asked, puzzled.

"Before the explosion, Dr. Nezu's research received little support. After the explosion, Dr. Nezu was completely ostracized by the academic community and was considered a cursed scientist."

"Most importantly, Dr. Nezu's daughter, Asami, happened to be at home in Hokkaido at the time."

Megumi shook her head. "He has nothing left."

Soon, Masachika Nezu and one of his companions were escorted to the command room by guards.

"Hello, Dr. Nezu, I am Gijō."

"Do you know anything about that monster?"

Megumi stepped forward and shook hands with Masachika Nezu, then asked.

The monster's target is the Zelda Center, and Zelda Gas was developed by Dr. Nezu. Could there be some connection?

“Sila, that monster is Sila.”

Masachika Nezu paused for a moment, then spoke, "She must have gone to sabotage the Zelda gas."

"Sira?"

Munakata was confused.

"She was a parrot named 763 that my daughter kept twenty years ago. Logically, she should have died in the explosion with my daughter twenty years ago."

"She witnessed Mami being engulfed by flames, so she hates Zildar gas very much."

Masachika Nezu's eyes were filled with pain.

It seemed as if I was recalling that scene from twenty years ago.

His efforts to promote Zildar Gas were met with a cold reception once again, but his daughter, Mami, comforted him over the phone.

It wasn't until Mami shouted "Sira, run!" that a final scream rang out.

He himself caused his daughter's death.

"what!!"

Masachika Nezu suddenly cried out in pain, clutching his chest uncontrollably, his face pale and covered in cold sweat.

"Dr. Nezu?"

“Nezu’s health is very bad, and he doesn’t have much time left.”

Dr. Taniguchi, who arrived with Masachika Nezu, immediately gave Nezu the medicine and then shook his head helplessly.

"Are you Nezu's doctor?" Seeing the pain on Nezu Masachika's face quickly subside, Izahime felt slightly relieved.

“No, I am his friend, and he has been living with me for the past twenty years.”

"He was constantly tormented by pain, regret, and guilt."

"Despite being ostracized by the academic community and having no money, I still devoted all my time to research."

"We want to find a way to destroy Zerda gas."

"But what can be researched in such a rudimentary environment and with such equipment?"

"After twenty years of loneliness, Nezu has aged at least forty years. He has coughed up blood and fainted countless times, but Nezu just won't listen to advice."

Taniguchi sighed, but he understood Nezu's feelings.

"As long as I'm alive, I must do something, I must do something..."

Nezu murmured, pushing away the support from the valley entrance, and then bowed to the Victory Team, "You must stop Sira, I beg you!"

"Actually, I think Sila's goal wasn't simply to destroy the Zlda gas."

Reg suddenly spoke.

He certainly didn't want Sila to suffer the same fate as before, to be severely injured and crawl to the center of Zelda even if she had to cough up blood.

I didn't say anything before, because I lacked a source of "intelligence".

"How to say?"

Everyone immediately looked at Reg. Megumi knew Reg's abilities and valued his opinion highly.

"Why did Sila wait until now, twenty years later, to destroy the Zilda gas?"

"Since Sila acted this way, it shows she has enough intelligence to think. Doesn't she know the consequences of the Zildar gas explosion? Does she want more lives to end up like her master's back then?"

"If it were driven by hatred, she wouldn't have fought back when we attacked her earlier."

"Moreover, I did not feel any negative forces such as hatred, only a very strong and firm belief."

Zong Fang seemed to be deep in thought: "So, your guess is?"

"How can a parrot transform into a monster? Is it the effect of Zelda gas?"

“I don’t think it took exactly twenty years. I believe more that it took Sila that long to develop the ability to reliably destroy Zlda gas.”

"That's why she rushed to the Zelda Center, wanting to eliminate the gas that had killed her master."

Dr. Nezu's eyes were bloodshot as he murmured, "Sila..."

Suddenly, Nori reminded him, "The strange bird, oh, Sera, has already left Asamiyama!"

"Victory Team, depart immediately!"

"Also, I'd like to trouble Reg to confirm my earlier guess."

Intermediary Hui looked at Reg.

Telepathic communication might be helpful when facing such intelligent monsters.

However, even if Sila had no hostile intentions and was only trying to safely destroy the Zelda gas.

TPC, would Victory team dare to bet on Silas's ability to achieve this?

Is the fate of tens of thousands of square kilometers of humanity being gambled on a single monster?

Watching the Flying Swallow speeding forward on the big screen, Megumi Kijima was making a difficult decision.

　(abbd) "Lina, stop at the Zelda Center for a bit and drop me off."

On Unit 2, Reg suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Lina was taken aback.

It felt like I was a bus driver, and a passenger was yelling, "Driver, brake!"

"Zelda Gas was obviously well preserved by the old defense forces, and it survived all these years, including the earthquake."

"I'll go down and bring the Zerda gas into the high atmosphere."

"Even if Sila's guess is the same as mine."

"We don't know if Sila's abilities are reliable, so let's lure Sila to a high altitude and take this opportunity to eliminate the threat of Zerda gas."

Even if the entire test tube of Zerda gas explodes.

Reg can also open an interdimensional portal at any time to throw out the shockwaves and flames from the explosion.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Captain Reg! Please be careful!"

Inside the command center, Sawai, who had rushed over, agreed to Reg's action plan without hesitation.

Unit 2 quickly passed the center of Zildar, hovered for a moment, then Reg opened the cabin door and jumped out.

As he free-falls to the last meter, Reg uses his telekinesis to lift himself to a stop.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of the victorious team.

Reg and a box floating beside him took off vertically into the sky at an extremely high speed.

"Ah ah--"

Sira clearly sensed something, let out a screech, and flapped its wings to fly into the sky.

Unit 1 and Unit 2 followed behind Sila.

After soaring hundreds of kilometers into space, Reg finally stopped and propelled the box toward Sila, who had followed him.

"Ah ah--"

Sira blinked her azure eyes, opened her mouth wide, and golden light particles surged out like a river.

The box containing the Zildar gas was completely swallowed by Sila.

Having finally achieved this goal, Silas's body, which had been on the verge of collapse, immediately relaxed.
