Special photo: starting from Ultraman Tiga

2011 years.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and nothing major happened on Earth.

If we're talking about something truly significant, it's that the contribution point system has been implemented throughout Japan.

In Japan, capitalists and zaibatsu are a thing of the past; public ownership has completely replaced private ownership.

Shen Yun used the Ebloon cells to develop food and meat, and began mass production to supply people all over the world, freeing humanity from the torment of famine.

Virtual reality headsets and personal terminals have become widespread globally, and "spiritual realms" have become a second world for humanity in the new era.

Karen's neural network has encompassed most of the internet on Earth, completely replicating the entire planet into the "spiritual realm," and has even begun to spread beyond the universe.

In the same year, space-type warships and mobile space bases using the new Max-powered navigation method also began to be developed. Led by a team of scientists from TPC, humanity truly began to gradually venture into the unknown world with space exploration as the core!

TPCs around the world are broadcasting related slogans as a symbol of the new era.

Human civilization has entered its most prosperous era.

However, beneath the seemingly stable society, turbulent undercurrents are brewing.

Reactionary forces that hinder social progress and hawks who are gradually gaining mainstream influence have become destabilizing factors.

Police station.

"What are the results of the satellite's monitoring?" Staff Officer Nagumo asked, turning to Gondo Kihachi as he sat down.

"These are the detection results from the monitoring satellite." Kihachi Gondo placed a wavelength comparison chart on the table.

“They’re practically identical,” said Staff Officer Nan Yun, comparing the two waveforms.

"This means that there are a large number of giant statues reacting in the R'lyeh ruins."

"We must send people in to explore and bring out all the giant stone statues inside," Staff Officer Nan Yun said excitedly.

"Vice Commander Nagumo, are we really going to carry out this plan without the Director's knowledge?" Kihachi Gondo asked hesitantly.

To be honest, he was personally quite close to this second-generation director.

He believed that he and Shen Yun shared the same ideals: to protect the Earth with the power of humanity itself.

Therefore, Kondo Kihachi was not very willing to follow Nagumo in opposing Shen Yun.

"I don't want to do this either, but the director is being too soft-hearted. As long as we TPC can unravel the mystery of the Giant of Light, all the sacrifices will be worthwhile. Ultraman Tiga is gone, and we humans have lost the power to fight against unknown enemies. If we are afraid of danger and don't explore, how can we TPC fight against unknown enemies?" Staff Officer Nagumo said emphatically.

“With TPC’s current technology, it is already more than capable of annihilating any foreign enemies,” Gondo said.

"If another monster like Gatanothor... no, Zoga were to appear, could TPC really defeat such a monster with its current technology?"

“But isn’t there another giant? The giant codenamed Gae-Shadow,” said Kihachi Gondo.

"Gondo, are you really going to entrust the safety of the Earth to a giant whose background you don't even know?" Nagumo asked.

“You and I are actually the same; neither of us trusts Ultraman’s power and believes that only when Ultraman’s power is in the hands of TPC can we be truly safe.” Staff Officer Nagumo stood up, patted Gondo on the shoulder, and said.

This is why he trusts Gondo so much.

Fellow villagers might stab you in the back, but people who share the same ideals won't.

Upon hearing this, Gondo also fell silent.

To be honest, he didn't really trust Ultraman either.

His rebuttal was only out of consideration for Shen Yun.

"What should we do?" Gondo asked.

"We just need to secretly promote some of our people, contact financial magnates in other regions, secretly organize a group of people, and enter the Pacific Ocean at the right time," Staff Officer Nagumo said with a smile.

Although the Police Department is subordinate to the TPC, it is an independent department, and the TPC has no authority over the promotion and demotion of positions within the Police Department.

Now, Yoshioka, the police chief, has stepped down to the second line and is enthusiastically helping Shen Yun build a new base, while the two of them have become the top two leaders of the police department.

Promotions and demotions within the police department don't require notifying the commissioner; a report is all that's needed.

“Sure, you submit the report, and I’ll approve it.” Gondo nodded.

After the conversation, Quan Dong returned to his room, turned on his computer, wrote a report about Nangumo's secret plot with him, and sent it to Shen Yun's email address.

"Fool, technology will advance. By the time you create an artificial Ultraman, human technology will have already destroyed Ultraman. Under the director's wisdom, I firmly believe this." A fanatical light gleamed in Gondo's eyes.

Several years ago, he was not the third-in-command of the police department, but just a mid-level employee.

That day, he saw the mecha named Saber Athena. Its roaring power unit, beautiful streamlined body, and powerful combat ability to instantly kill monsters had deeply captivated his heart.

Then there's the mechanical Golza, that steel behemoth with a massive body brimming with violent aesthetics, every cannon barrel on its body showcasing the highest technological achievement humanity has made since the age of firearms.

Ultraman's power is indeed very strong, but in Gondo's heart, only mecha is the best.

Upon receiving the email from Gondo, Shen Yun glanced at it and roughly understood its contents.

"Tsk, wouldn't it be better to let those three dark giants stay in R'lyeh? Why do they have to go looking for death?" Shen Yun said unhappily.

"Forget it, it's good for Daigo to get the Spark Lens again, and it's good to have a big dad to back him up. Asuka is unreliable." Shen Yun originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that having a big dad to back him up didn't seem so bad.

If anything goes wrong in the future, he can call Daigo for help.

The three of us~
This is a ready-made, dazzling hot topic; we can't let it go to waste.

"Ignore him, just keep me updated." Shen Yun replied to Quan Teng's email, and also sent him a report on the damage caused to the monster organization by Specium, a Martian mineral.

"This report should keep Gondo hanging for a long time."

After closing his email, Shen Yun turned his chair around, looked out at the boundless sea outside the director's office, and leisurely sipped his tea.

Although he is a dove, he also has his own people among the hawks.

He must grasp both aspects firmly.

Upon receiving the report from Shen Yun, Quan Teng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but rub his hands together like a fly.

"Wow! So there are minerals like this on Mars. No wonder TPC chose to develop Mars. Wow! These particles called Specium can cause such high levels of damage to monsters' body tissues. If they could be used in new weapons..."

Gondo's face flushed with excitement. (End of Chapter)
