Ultraman: Because I am Gatanothor.

While Fengdu was upgrading Feiyan-1 with his old buddies, Jujian Hui also came to the director's office.

She stood before Director Sawai and said with concern, "Director, I know that Earth is facing great danger right now, but isn't it too much of a step to upgrade the Flying Swallow's attack equipment for the second time so hastily? In the battle against King Black, the first time the Flying Swallow was armed, it already drew criticism from outsiders!"

The director stood up, went to the window, and gazed at the calm sea with a wistful look.

"I know your concerns, but you know what? I have to do this!" He decided to voice his concerns to his trusted subordinate.

Megumi Kijima was taken aback and looked at Director Sawai with confusion.

"Why? Is someone forcing you?"

Although Director Sawai is the head of the TPC organization, the organization is not a cohesive unit. It is full of various voices, such as the Space Development Bureau, the police department, and the leaders of other countries.

"I suppose so!" Director Sawai replied ambiguously, then turned to look at Megumi and said, "You should have noticed, right? Some people are starting to have ideas about turning Gakuma into a subjugated weapon, aren't they?!"

Megumi's face darkened. She had noticed this idea a few days ago, so she asked Horii, who was in charge of the [Petrification Ray] research, to pay attention to this matter.

"Yes!"

"Although I rejected all these proposals seriously, they've started working on Project F again!"

"Project F?" This was the first time Megumi had heard of this project. She looked at Soichiro Sawai with a questioning gaze.

"The so-called 'F Project' is to enable humanity to master the power of light!"

Megumi didn't quite understand. She asked in confusion, "The power of light!? Isn't that the light-powered system that Dr. Yao has already started experimenting with?"

Director Sawai shook his head. "No, it's a plan to create artificial giants of light! They deciphered some of the information in the time machine and learned that the 'God Creation Project' had already been created before the ancient times. So they thought, since Ultraman can be created artificially, why can't there be more artificial Ultraman!"

Megumi's eyes widened, and a scene involuntarily surfaced in her mind: a gray sky and a group of countless giants.

Instead of chatting over tea, they were engaged in a life-or-death internal struggle.

Countless rays of light flew, severed limbs and fragments, and sparks from the explosion flew everywhere.

When a dark aura enveloped them, these giants were reduced to stone statues amidst the ruins.

Although the entire scene was silent, it gave people an extremely heavy sense of oppression, which was stuck in her heart and made her almost suffocate.

"No!" she shouted.

As she uttered that cry, the huge weight pressing on her heart eased, allowing her to breathe heavily.

Director Sawai gave Megumi a deep look, his eyes flashing with an uncertain light.

'Megumi, what are you hiding?'

However, he didn't voice his true thoughts. He turned his gaze back to the calm sea and said in a complicated tone, "Yes, artificial Ultraman, haha... Once Ultraman gains humanity and loses their divinity, it will be a huge disaster for us humans!"

It's not a big deal if one Ultraman has humanity; the real problem is if a group of Ultramen all develop humanity.

Even the Land of Light, which once had four major races—the Silver Race, the White Race, the Red Race, and the Blue Race—has now completely disappeared due to internal strife.

Of course, they knew nothing about the Land of Light.

Director Sawai also watched that video, which showed the ancient giants fighting amongst themselves.

They are numerous, but compared to billions of humans, the number of Ultramen is not even a fraction of the human population. However, they possess powers that humans have never had.

It is enough to easily wipe out all of humanity.

Although the scene of Ultraman wiping out humanity did not actually occur, the infighting among Ultraman indirectly contributed to the demise of the ancient civilization.

Humanity, however, has not learned its lesson and wants to restart the artificial Ultraman project.

What they forgot is that humanity can only protect itself by relying on itself.

That's why he ordered the upgrade of the Flying Swallow's weapons and equipment to enhance the Victory Team's offensive capabilities.

This will curb those people's dangerous thoughts.

Once the GUTS team can defeat the monster on their own, then those people's reasons will become less important and untenable.

Megumi didn't know how she walked out of the director's office. When she came to her senses, she was already sitting in a chair in the command room.

The command room was unusually quiet today.

Only Ye Rui is chatting with someone.

Lina and Shinjo went to check on the upgrade and preparation of the Flying Swallow, Munakata went to the gym, and Fudo was upgrading Unit 1.

For a moment, Megumi Kijima actually felt a sense of loneliness.

Thinking of Reiko Kenmura, she also thought of her husband, Katsuhito Miura.

The two were so in love back then, and she even gave birth to a son for him.

However, due to a minor connection error, the escape pod failed to eject in time, causing the experimental unit UN-XB to explode in outer space.

This caused her and Katsuhito Miura to be separated by death, and her mother-in-law became extremely disgusted with her because of this, completely severing her marital relationship with Katsuhito Miura.

She raises her grandson herself.

She had no choice but to abandon the surname Miura and revert to her former name, Megumi Kijima.

Suddenly, a phantom figure appeared in front of her from within her body.

The person was dressed in white with white hair and a pale face. A soft light enveloped her, making it impossible to see her exact appearance.

Looking at her, one feels as if they are seeing an angel.

Megumi's eyes widened in shock as she stared blankly at the figure emerging from her body.

"You Lian..."

You Lian didn't speak. She waved her hand and threw a ball of light at Ye Rui.

Upon seeing this, Megumi Kijima stood up abruptly and loudly demanded, "What are you trying to do?!"

"Don't worry, it's just a way to block people's perception of the outside world, it won't have any bad effects on the human body."

Upon hearing this, Megumi turned to look at Nori, only to find him still engrossed in playing on his computer, completely oblivious to the figure appearing before him and to her earlier shout.

After Yu Lian calmed down, she slowly walked in front of Ju Jian Hui. The light on her body gradually dimmed, revealing an old face.

When Megumi first saw Yuzare's true face, she felt an unusual sense of familiarity.

"Why are you inside my body?" she asked the question that concerned her most.

Yu Lian looked at her and repeated the explanation she had given to Daigo.

"...And the other half of me was reincarnated!"

"In this life, I was reincarnated as you. After the time machine was activated, the part of me hidden within you was awakened!"

Megumi Kijima listened as if she were hearing gibberish, but she did catch an important word.

She stepped forward excitedly and asked, "Reincarnation?! Is there really such a thing as reincarnation in this world?!"

If so, does that mean he'll be able to meet Katsuhito Miura?!

Yu Lian shook her head. "I don't know!"

Megumi looked completely bewildered. "You don't know!?"

I don't know, and she's talking about reincarnation for no reason.

You Lian explained, "I have never seen the Underworld of Reincarnation, nor have I seen the River of Oblivion or the River of Helplessness. What I mean by reincarnation is that I have inscribed my will into my genetic root. As long as they are my descendants, I can exist in their bodies until the time machine arrives and activates this part of the genetic root!"

Megumi looked at her in disbelief and involuntarily covered her mouth.

"you mean!?"

"That's right, you are my descendant!"

Yu Lian stated this fact, and at the same time said, "The purpose of my appearance this time is to tell you that you must not activate Project F. This is a power that humanity cannot control. You must stop the implementation of this project!"

Having said that, the figure flashed and disappeared from Kijima Megumi's sight.

"Wait a minute!!!" Megumi quickly stepped forward, trying to grab her.

However, Yu Lian transformed into a ball of light and re-entered Megumi's body, refusing to appear no matter how much Megumi called out to her.

With Yuzare's disappearance, the means to shield Nozue's senses also disappeared. He looked up at Iruma Megumi, who was shouting everywhere, with a look of astonishment on his face.

He called out weakly, "Captain, what's wrong?"

'Could she have caught it from Daigo?!'

After the Titans were revived, he also saw Daigo looking flustered, as if he was talking to someone.

When Megumi was called by Yuzuru, she quickly came to her senses. She panicked instinctively and turned her back to him, saying in a slightly flustered tone, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about someone from the past!"

She didn't know if Ye Ruixin believed her explanation, so she fled the command room as if she were escaping and went outside to get some fresh air.

Karen was unaware of what was happening here. Yuzare not only shielded Nori's senses but also blocked the detection of electronic signals.

Looking at the deep sea, Megumi's heart gradually calmed down.

So this is why I often dream of ancient times?!

It turns out that I am that person's descendant.

Chapter 58: How to Bring Daigo Home for Eating

Two days have passed since that meeting, and the energy-devouring monster has been officially named Ligadron by TPC.

However, since it disappeared into the stratosphere, humans have never been able to find it again, as if it had never existed.

However, no one dared to let their guard down. It was a monster capable of breaking through most of humanity's defenses. From that video, it could be seen that there was an unknown power hidden behind Ligadron.

Everyone believed that once it had consumed all the energy from those four energy tanks, it would surely return to Earth to steal other energy sources.

Inside the command center.

Everyone was doing their own thing.

Although they seem busy, they are doing relatively easy work. The Victory Team cannot be deployed casually unless there is a natural disaster or interference from unknown creatures.

Intermediary Megumi and Munakata went to attend the meeting.

Ye Rui continued playing games with Karen.
