The matter of the R'lyeh ruins has now come to a complete end.

After Daigo returned from the ruins of R'lyeh, he married Rena.

Daigo and Rena's wedding was not a grand affair; they only invited relatives and a few acquaintances.

The newlyweds began training shortly after their marriage in preparation for colonizing Mars.

Meanwhile, unwilling to let Project F be shelved, Staff Officer Nagumo secretly organized the Dolphin to go to the seabed to salvage the Giant of Light statue.

Finally, Shen Yun found an excuse to kick this staff officer, Nan Yun, out of the power structure.

Time quickly passed and it became 2013.

The New Territory Project has officially begun. TPC transported the Guwamu, which had been modified by Shen Yun using Bizomo, to Mars to modify the Martian atmosphere. It is expected that within three years, Mars will be transformed into a habitable planet for humans.

Meanwhile, the first group of immigrants to go to the Martian Biological Garden will mostly be selected from botanists or residents who are skilled in growing plants.

Daigo and Rena were naturally on the list of those going to Mars to immigrate.

In order to address the challenges of maintaining peace in the upcoming new era, the TPC, after numerous discussions, decided to strengthen its military.

However, Shen Yun rejected the proposal to build a large-scale weapons manufacturing plant on the Crimson Islands.

The Crimson Isles are a place that witnessed humanity's journey toward peace, so it's incredibly ironic to use this place to build an arms factory.

Because of Daigo and Rena's departure from GUTS, the proposal to reorganize GUTS, previously put forward by Vice Captain Munakata, has been brought up again.

However, because the trainees of TPC Training School performed exceptionally well in breaking through the small Zoga's offensive, the original GUTS reorganization proposal was changed to a plan to form a new GUTS centered around the trainees of TPC Training School.

Ultimately, after much discussion and with Yoshioka's strong recommendation, it was decided to establish a new "Monster/Alien/Anomaly Response Team"—Super Global Unlimited Task Squad, also known as "Super Victory Team"—centered around Kibi Gosuke, a training instructor from the TPC Training School.

In the same year, Shizuma Mitsukuni, a senior employee of the TPC Intelligence Bureau, piloted the Flying Swallow No. 1, which carried many top-secret files, to the new TPC base that was under construction.

However, when Shizuma Mitsukuni was passing over the Lion's Nose Tree Sea, he suddenly lost contact.

TPC has been searching for nearly a month without finding any trace, not even any signs of a crash.

Ultimately, the TPC could only classify it as missing and seal the file.

This was the day the Mars colonization project team set off.

Shen Yun also turned down several meetings and came to the rocket launch base with Karen to see Daigo and Lina off.

"Daigo, Rena!" Shen Yun waved and called out from afar when he saw Daigo and Rena, who were wearing blue uniforms and carrying briefcases.

"Director!"

"Karen!"

Upon seeing Shen Yun and Karen, Daigo and Rena couldn't help but show expressions of joy.

"Lina, remember to contact me after you go to Mars, or I'll be very lonely," Karen said as she hugged Lina.

Lina was the first friend Karen made besides Shen Yun, and they were also best friends. Now that Lina is leaving Earth to settle on Mars, Karen is naturally very reluctant to part with her.

“I will. Besides, now that we have the ‘Spirit Realm,’ we can still meet often even if I go to Mars,” Lina said with a smile, holding Karen’s hand.

Although Lina knew that Karen was just an artificial intelligence with self-awareness, their friendship did not grow any weaker.

"The 'Spirit Realm' ability can't be extended to Mars yet, but I'll try my best," Karen said with a smile.

Unlike the two girls' tearful farewell, Shen Yun simply touched Daigo's shoulder lightly and said, "Take care."

"I will. The safety of Earth is in your hands, Director." Daigo smiled and raised his fist.

Seeing this, Shen Yun smiled and raised his hand to bump fists with Daigu.

The two looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

"By the way, have you two decided on a name for your future child?" Shen Yun nudged Daigo in the waist with his elbow and asked.

"Child?" Upon hearing this, Daigo blushed deeply and stammered, "I've already thought it through."

"Really? What's the name?"

“Yes, Lina and I will name our first child, whether it’s a boy or a girl, Hikari,” Daiko said.

“Hikari? That’s a nice name. I’ll give your child a gift when she’s born,” Shen Yun said.

"A gift from the director? I'm looking forward to it," Daigo said half-jokingly.

"Daigo, Rena, Director!" At that moment, the voices of Shinjo, Horii, and others came from behind.

The members of the Victory Team also came to see them off.

"Everyone!" Daigo smiled and waved to the GUTS team members when he saw them.

“Let’s go, we’ll take you there,” said Megumi Kijima with a smile.

The group, surrounding Daigo and Rena, walked into the passageway leading to the waiting room.

"You two should take good care of yourselves," Zongfang said with a smile, placing his hands on their shoulders.

"You're the ones in command too," Lina said with a smile.

"I look forward to your research results," Zongfang said with a smile.

“Cultivating plants on Mars is a dream of both of us,” Daigo said with a smile.

"Come on!"

"I'm finally leaving. I'll be so lonely," Shinjo said with a melancholy expression.

"Don't be like that, brother, you don't have to cry," Mayumi teased.

"Idiot, I didn't cry."

"Who are you kidding, you fool? This is the time to send someone off with a smile." Horii said, revealing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

At that moment, the broadcast from the rocket launch site also began.

"Ding, the spaceship bound for Mars is about to depart. Members of the Mars colonization project team, please proceed to the waiting room."

"Alright, it's time to go." Ye Rui forced a smile and said.

"Hmm~" The two nodded.

"Daigo, Rena, I wish you happiness." Megumi looked at Daigo and Rena and sincerely wished them well.

"Hi!" The two nodded, and Lina said with a smile, "The captain too."

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

After everyone finished laughing, they all stopped and watched with reluctance as Daigo and Rena left with the other members of the immigration team until they could no longer see their backs.

"Let's go back too," Shen Yun said, turning his gaze away.

"As long as humanity continues to develop, the scope of the 'Spirit Realm' will continue to expand. I believe that in the not-too-distant future, the 'Spirit Realms' of Mars and Earth will be fully interconnected, allowing us to gather even if we are in completely different places," Shen Yun added.
