Across countless worlds: Yearning to become a giant of light.

Chapter 36 The Woman in the Time Capsule
Daigo genuinely had no idea what had happened.

Even the specific process of transforming into a giant and fighting was only known by watching the black box data footage in the conference room; before that, he only had a vague impression.

Even on the way back to base on the Victory Flying Swallow II, he kept thinking: Why did I become a giant?

"What's wrong, Daigo? You weren't like this when you were piloting the Victory Swallow 1 towards the monster."

Upon seeing this, Shinjo quickly came to Daigo's side.

"Daigo, are you alright?"

Lina also stepped forward to express her concern.

"I'm fine, I'm alright... I just don't know how to answer about the giants."

Daigo quickly waved his hand in reply.

But his appearance is even more worrying.

"Hmm...it seems we need to reconsider our assessment of the giants and monsters."

Seeing this, Director Sawai knew that the discussion could not continue. No matter what the speculation was, it was all just a drop in the ocean for the giants and monsters shrouded in mystery.

If a misjudgment occurs, the losses could be far more than just the loss of Kumamoto City.

"Captain Megumi, your Victory Team should continue with the strategy of not prioritizing attacks."

After saying that, Director Sawai left the conference room.

He also needs to relay the details of this incident to other senior executives.

"clear."

Megumi and the others stood up and watched Director Sawai leave.

drop by drop...

Just as everyone was about to sit down and continue the discussion, an urgent communication was suddenly transmitted into the conference room.

"Captain, an urgent communication from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

Nori hurriedly reported to Kijima Megumi.

Megumi Kijima: "What happened?"

"It was because of the battle between the giants that a large number of monster corpses flew to the outskirts of Tokyo... Then, when they went to clean them up, they discovered a large number of abnormal life forms, all of which were crawling out from the fragments of Golza and Melba's corpses! Just like... just like those things that appeared underground in Kumamoto City two years ago!"

Ye Rui relayed the story, his forehead covered in sweat.

"what!"

Everyone was terrified.

"Weren't Golza and Melba supposed to be weapons from an ancient civilization? How could they be related to aberrant life forms (monsters)?"

Horii quickly went to the computer.

Two years ago, when he was researching this, he discovered that this cellular material, which does not belong to any ecosystem, does not belong to this universe and is completely unsuited to the environment of this universe in terms of molecular structure.

However, they still managed to survive in this universe thanks to their extremely terrifying predatory and evolutionary abilities. They were the first to appear in the fall of Kumamoto City, and were then massacred by the Silver Giants, leaving only a few scattered cells.

Afterwards, TPC contained and studied some of the cells, but destroyed them all after discovering their danger...

should?

Shinjo: "Could it have invaded Golza and Melba's bodies while they were asleep?"

"It could also be because they ate the corpses of Golza and Melba, but in any case... we must eliminate them completely before they grow up."

Munakata liked to personally command from the front lines, so he had dealt with this kind of monster several times.

He witnessed firsthand how those slug monsters, which were originally only half a person tall, grew into enormous creatures several meters tall after devouring each other.

(Although they are just small karaomis compared to giants.)
"Everyone, head to the outskirts of Tokyo to provide support. Remember to bring the inactivation capsules developed by Horii. The beam attack of the Victory Hyper Gun won't be able to kill them completely."

"Izayoi gave the order in a serious tone."

"Understood!" x5
No one complained that they had to go out to fight again so soon after returning; their voices were firm and resolute as they answered.

But just as everyone was putting on their helmets and preparing to board the new Victory Flying Swallow II for sorties, Megumi called out to Daigo alone.

"Team Leader Daigo, you don't need to participate in this operation."

"Eh?"

Daigo, who was about to catch up with Rena, turned around.

"Given your current mental state, you're not suited for a mission. You should stay at base and rest." "But..."

"have a good rest--"

Megumi's 'gentle' smile sent chills down Daigo's spine.

"Ming...understood."

And so, Daigo could only watch as the others launched into battle aboard the new Victory Flying Swallow II, while he was forced to return to his room to rest.

Inside the room, Daigo, sitting on the edge of the bed, pulled open his team uniform and took out a rod-shaped object that exuded a sacred aura.

Spark prism (also known as: spark bar).

"The power of giants..."

Daigo's palm gently stroked its surface.

Why did you choose me?

The core of the Spark Lens flickered faintly, as if telling Daigo that this was his destiny.

Just as Daigo was about to put the transformation device away, a familiar yet eerie female voice suddenly rang in his ears.

[Hehehe... There's only one reason why the traitor (giant) has revived... That's because Daigo has become light...]
"Who?!"

Daigo quickly stood up.

He looked around but didn't see anyone.

"That voice just now...it was the woman from the time capsule!"

Daigo left the room and walked quickly toward the room where the time capsule was stored.

But after walking for a while, he noticed that there were fewer and fewer TPC staff on the road. When he arrived at the area where the room was located, he was all alone, and his communicator was not working.

Clang—

The automatic door slowly opened.

The woman dressed in black robes, who claimed to be the Earth Defense Corps Commander 'Yu Lian', was standing in front of Daigo in the form of a projection.

It looks the same as the original 'artificial intelligence'.

But why is it white hair?
"Were you talking to me just now?"

Daigo asked warily.

"It's just like...it's so similar...just like it was 30 million years ago."

However, when the woman looked at Daigo in front of her, her eyes were somewhat dazed, as if she was recalling something.

But then the woman's expression suddenly turned to one of disgust.

"You can't escape! Tiga...you betrayed me...and you betrayed us..."

"Betrayal? What are you talking about?!"

Daigo frowned deeply.

He felt like he was carrying a huge black pot on his back, but he had no idea what it was.

"They're quite the actors..."

The woman frowned slightly and muttered something.

Dagu:?
Seeing that Daigo was still so dense, the woman seemed to get a little angry and embarrassed.

Even genetic reincarnation couldn't possibly cause such a drastic change in his (Tiga's) personality!
"Hmph! It seems this weak civilization has changed you a lot! But it doesn't matter... When you meet us again, you'll remember everything!"

Finally, the woman grabbed Daigo by the collar and pulled him in front of her.

Almost face to face, she uttered sweet words:

"All the little things we shared..."

next moment.

"ah----!!!!"

Daigo suddenly woke up from his bed and realized that he had not left the room and was still holding the Spark Lens.

"...Is it...a dream?"
