Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

Upon hearing this, Staff Officer Nanyun was speechless, but he was still unwilling to give up, so he could only respond with a sneer and turned his attention to Iruma Kei.

He demanded, "Hmph, then I'd like to ask you, why was the entire team that went out to carry out the investigation wiped out, while you were the only one who returned unscathed? Could it be that the dark giants and ferocious monsters there actually know how to be gentle with women?"

"What do you mean by that? Every time the Victory Team fought bloody battles with monsters, fighting for their lives, why didn't you step forward? Now that we've finally obtained some intelligence on the enemy, you dare to doubt us!"

Munakata's face flushed crimson, veins popping out on his forehead. He stood up abruptly and slammed the table in front of him with force, making a dull thud. At the same time, he stared at Nagumo across from him with wide eyes, his eyes burning with rage, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Facing Munakata's questioning, Staff Officer Nagumo showed no sign of backing down. Instead, as if seizing the perfect opportunity to strike back, he confidently stated, "In my opinion, we should conduct a thorough investigation into Captain Iruma Kei. Perhaps through her we can uncover the truth behind the expedition's annihilation."

At that moment, a deep, powerful voice suddenly rang out from outside the conference room, like a thunderbolt piercing the sky. Everyone turned to look and saw Zhao Ming slowly and steadily entering the command room. With each step he took, the atmosphere in the room grew solemn.

Zhao Ming walked straight into the room, his piercing gaze piercing Staff Officer Nan Yun like a sharp sword. His lips curled up slightly, revealing a subtle sneer as he demanded, "Oh... so you're so eager to learn about the expedition team's situation? If so, why don't you dare go there yourself to verify it, instead of just lying here and slandering your colleagues?"

Upon hearing this, Staff Officer Nagumo's expression changed, a hint of panic in his eyes. However, as a seasoned veteran, he quickly composed himself and replied with forced composure, "Everything I do is for the overall safety of TPC. Any suspicious areas must not be overlooked."

"Hmph! The traitor has jumped out. It's you, Nanyun! I didn't expect you to still be so brazen and speak nonsense here. Believe it or not, I will kick you and send you flying to Luluye Island! Haven't you always been clamoring to learn more about the so-called powerful strength of the giants?

"Alright, I'll let you become close companions with those dark giants and feel their terrifying power. I'll see if you're truly capable of exploring it!" Zhao Ming shouted in a furious tone.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the TPC conference room suddenly grew tense. Director Ji Gang frowned, glared at Zhao Ming, and warned him sternly, "Zhao Ming, please be mindful of your words and actions! This is a TPC conference room, and as a representative of the Science and Technology Bureau, you must not engage in such inappropriate behavior as personal attacks."

After hearing Director Ji Gang's warning, although Zhao Ming was still a little indignant, he suppressed his anger and nodded slightly to Iruma Kei and Munekata. Then, he quickly walked to his seat and sat down.

At this moment, Director Sawai, who had been silent the entire time, coughed softly, breaking the brief silence. He looked around at everyone and slowly said, "Please do not jump to any hasty conclusions about this matter.

Captain Iruma has always been dedicated and loyal to her duties. Her character and integrity are beyond doubt, and we need not have any doubts about them. Our most pressing task now is to focus on effectively responding to potential threats that may arise."

Upon hearing this, Vice Captain Zong Fang quickly nodded in agreement and continued, "The Director is absolutely right. If we continue to argue endlessly among ourselves over this matter, it will only waste our energy and time. It would be better for us to calm down and work together to come up with a practical plan to deal with the crisis brought about by those menacing dark giants."

However, Chief of Staff Nanyun did not seem to want to give up. He opened his mouth and was about to express his opinion again.

But before he could even begin to speak, Director Ji Gang decisively interrupted him and said sternly, "Alright, Chief of Staff Nanyun, let's end this topic here. There's no need to dwell on it any further."

Zhao Ming then said, "Director, I've already talked about this topic of giants so many times that I really don't want to start over again.

Today, I'd like to discuss the nature of the mind, the relationship between the two forces of light and darkness. In fact, so-called light isn't always pure light; similarly, seemingly eternal darkness isn't always that way.

Hearing this, Staff Officer Nanyuan couldn't help but look at Zhao Ming and asked curiously, "This sounds quite philosophical, but how do you explain it specifically?"

Zhao Ming continued to narrate slowly, "This incident dates back to the distant super-ancient times. At that time, the mystery of the source of the power contained in the Giant of Light was successfully revealed, and a huge tragedy came into being.

At that time, some selfish people coveted the giant's immense power, attempting to use this power to enhance their own voice and control in the world.

As a result, these greedy people completely disregarded moral ethics and madly used countless powerful humans as sacrifices. By using the cruel method of optogenetic instruments, they forcibly plundered and borrowed the life energy in their bodies, and then forcibly transformed themselves into giants.

However, unexpectedly, this madness ultimately led to irreversible consequences. After completing the transformation, some people's minds became extremely distorted, their once pure hearts completely tainted and corroded by the darkness hidden deep within, thus degenerating into dark giants!

This is the fundamental difference in the heart between the forces of light and darkness. Simply put, the righteous will become more steadfast in their righteousness and shine brightly, while the wicked will sink deeper into darkness and perish beyond redemption.

"That is to say, in the long history of the ancient times, there were indeed some giants of light who originally represented justice and light, but for various reasons fell into the endless abyss of darkness.

"Unexpectedly, however, these giants, once lost in darkness, have ultimately returned to the embrace of light. Could this be the true source of their immense power?" Staff Officer Nanyuan pondered as he slowly concluded.

"Indeed, individuals capable of bearing the power of a titan possess a heart as solid as a rock and an indomitable will. Only those possessing such noble qualities, even after acquiring godlike power, will remain steadfast in their original aspirations and unwaveringly protect the fragile human race."

On the other hand, for those who don't meet the requirements, even if they somehow manage to forcibly transform into a Titan, they will simply become like ferocious beasts that have lost their minds, falling into an uncontrollable frenzy, obsessed with killing, and ultimately becoming dark Titans who despise life as worthless!" Zhao Ming continued to explain with a serious expression.

"As long as we can uncover the secrets hidden behind the Giant of Light, mass-producing Ultraman will no longer be just an unattainable dream. By then, the Earth will no longer have to fear threats from any enemy."

At this moment, Nan Yun, who had been sitting silently at the side, suddenly sneered and interrupted, "By then, it will just be a few dark giants, nothing to worry about."
