Ultraman: Because I am Gatanothor.

…………

Three minutes ago.

Inside the TPC Far East Headquarters Base, on the B87th floor.

Dr. Makino ate while watching the data transmitted back by Dolphin 202. So far, all the data is normal.

This made him unconsciously happy.

This feeling is like watching your own son enter the exam hall during the college entrance examination and achieve a high score.

It filled him with pride.

The other doctors were gathered around a makeshift table, excitedly discussing other ways to improve Dolphin 202.

Dr. Makino smiled as he listened to the wildly imaginative discussions.

"It's so good to be young!"

As he spoke, he reached for a sip of water.

Suddenly, a red border appeared on the computer screen.

"Loss of contact with Dolphin 202..."

Makino didn't pay much attention; that's how underwater signal transmission works—it can be interrupted from time to time.

But the next second, another message appeared on the computer screen.

"Large-scale tremors detected on the Pacific seabed..."

As soon as the female voice rang out, the doctors present unconsciously gathered around.

Dr. Makino frowned slightly. "The bottom of the Pacific Ocean? What a coincidence!"

Then he said to the AI, "Display the location of the earthquake source!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a red dot appeared on the panel in front of everyone, appearing on a green line.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Dr. Maeda unconsciously swallowed. "How could this be?"

The epicenter was right in the path of Dolphin 202. Judging from the location information just returned by Dolphin 202, the epicenter was practically right next to its face.

Dr. Makino threw the water in his hand into the trash can and yelled at the computer, "Quickly check if the self-rescue device has been activated!"

"Self-rescue device number one activated! Self-rescue device number two activated!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Makino finally breathed a sigh of relief, his body went limp, and he sat down directly.

"Phew... thank goodness..."

Since the self-rescue device has been activated, it proves that Nanase Futari and Yoshitsuji are currently safe.

Dr. Maeda snapped out of his daze and immediately dialed the GUTS team's office number.

The phone was answered after only two rings.

"This is the GUTS team..."

The voice coming through the receiver was very young, and sounded somewhat immature.

Dr. Maeda interrupted directly, saying, "I know, listen, our Dolphin 202 encountered an earthquake at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. I want you to set off immediately. On board are Chief Yoshitsugu Yoshitsugu of the Police Department and Dr. Nanase Fudo! Time is of the essence."

On the other end of the phone, a very young man exclaimed, "What!"

However, he quickly suppressed his shock and said in a deep voice, "I understand!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Inside the Victory Team's command center, everyone looked at Nozue Hachimi with utter bewilderment.

"What's wrong?" asked Megumi.

Ye Rui stood up, glanced at Lina, and shouted, "The Dolphin 202 Laboratory just called, saying that Dolphin 202 is at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and has encountered an underwater earthquake. Director Ji Gang and... and... Feng Du are on board. They have asked us to launch a rescue operation as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback. Nanase Rena rushed forward and anxiously asked, "You mean Kaede was also on that submarine?!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Nanase Rena felt a dizziness and almost lost her balance.

Fortunately, Daigo, who was behind her, reacted quickly and caught her, preventing her from collapsing to the ground.

Kijima Megumi calmly said, "Command!"

Deputy Captain Zongfang immediately understood. He said, "Daigo, Rena, you two take Unit 1 and go to the scene of the incident to investigate. Shinjo and I will take Unit 2 and catch up with you once we have loaded the underwater rescue boat. Horii, you go to the laboratory on B87 and keep an eye on things and provide us with intelligence!"

His words were concise and powerful, and he quickly arranged everything perfectly for the person.

After listening, everyone immediately replied, "Understood!"

At this moment, Lina composed herself, grabbed her helmet, and rushed out.

Daigo felt his hand loosen, and the person in his arms had vanished. He glanced at the command room, nodded to the crowd, and then ran out quickly.

"Lina!"

The others also ran out of the command room one after another, and soon only Norizuki and Iruma Megumi remained in the room.

Megumi rested her chin on her hands, a look of worry flashing in her eyes.

'Please, please don't let anything happen!'

She was referring to Director Ji Gang.

Given that person's position within the hawkish faction, he can at least keep the thoughts of those below him in check.

If he were to die, wouldn't the hawks, no, the entire TPC, be thrown into chaos?

…………

Bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Feng Du and Director Ji Gang stared nervously at the screen transmission panel, not daring to utter a sound.

Just now, they were trying to drain the water from Dolphin 202 to increase buoyancy and float up, when they encountered a giant eye.

The next second, the entire Dolphin 202 was blown away by a tremendous force.

After Fengdu finally managed to stabilize Dolphin 202, he saw a terrifying scene with the help of the only light source.

What just sent them flying was a strange, enormous creature.

It has a sharp beak and teeth, huge fins growing from its ears, and its head looks like its skull has been lifted, revealing a brain that looks like intestines. The erect skull is connected to the dorsal fin on its back.

It looks both strange and terrifying.

Its eyes were very cold, but when it saw that Dolphin 202 had taken a hit from it but was unharmed, it showed a strong sense of curiosity.

Fortunately, the path that Dolphin 202 was blown away from was next to that cave entrance, so Feng Du had a flash of inspiration and immediately piloted Dolphin 202 into the cave.

The cave was just big enough for Dolphin 202 to enter, which conveniently kept the monster out of the cave.

But Fengdu dared not venture any further, and so they remained in a stalemate.

At the entrance of the cave, one could vaguely see those cruel, glowing eyes.

Director Ji Gang stammered in a low voice, "What...is this...?"

Nanase Kaede replied in a low voice, "It should be a monster!"

"A monster!?"

Sensing Tetsuji Yoshitsugu's confusion, Nanase Kaede explained, "Tsuburaya Productions produced Ultraman before, didn't they? Don't you think that creature looked a lot like a monster?"

After pondering for a moment, Yoshitsuji seemed to remember something and suddenly exclaimed, "My nephew always carries around a monster toy. Now that you mention it, it really does look quite like one!"

"Then how did it appear?"

Fengdu rolled his eyes at him. He knew how it came about, but he couldn't say it now.

As the head of the police department, the other party is only involved in matters within TPC. What if suspicion falls on him and he gets invited to a private meeting for questioning?

"do not know!"

Then he added, "But I know we can't stay at the bottom of the sea any longer!"

"Why!"

Fengdu gestured with his chin, indicating that he should look at another panel, which displayed the oxygen content.

12%

Yoshitsuji frowned. "How could so much have been lost? Could it be because of the impact just now!?"

Nanase Kazetsu nodded, glanced at the monster still lingering at the cave entrance, turned the throttle, and drove Dolphin 202 into the cave.

In this situation, driving out will definitely lead to certain death, but driving inward might lead to another exit!

Director Ji Gang opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing!

Chapter 6 Six-Meter Zoga

Chapter Six

Fengdu piloted Dolphin 202 into the ruins atop R'lyeh.

When the submarine surfaced, Yoshitsuji Yoshitsuji was completely stunned.

He controlled the screen transmitter to look around.

This is an underwater cave, and there is no seawater around. If it weren't for the elevation and depth displayed on the monitor, he would have thought he was on the surface of the sea.

With the help of the only light, Tetsuji Yoshigoro saw the murals all around him.

Due to its age, most of the murals on the wall have weathered away, leaving only a blurry image in the center.

In this mural, you can vaguely see three giants, one in front and two behind, standing on a huge square platform.

Before the giants stood tiny humans, one of whom raised her hands, from which points of light emanated, enveloping the giants.

“This is…” Yoshitsuji asked murmured.
