Ultra Galaxy: If you have a mountain in your heart, everywhere is the mountain behind you

TPC had previously fallen into a brief panic due to the appearance of Kirieloids in various departments.

But after the battle in Shinjuku ended.

Director Sawai used his many years of experience to suppress all the panic and restore peace to the base.

However, the impact of this incident cannot be underestimated.

the next day.

TPC executives held another meeting.

Fujiki and Iruma Kei walked in the corridor leading to the top floor conference room.

"I didn't expect that you would be required to attend this meeting." Iruma Hui looked at Fujishu and said in surprise.

In the past, she would attend meetings like this and then relay the useful content of the meeting to the team members.

She was a little surprised that Fujiki was asked to attend the meeting with her, which belonged to the highest level of TPC.

"Maybe it's because there's something big to announce." Fujishu replied to her mysteriously.

Iruma Kei looked at Fujiki thoughtfully and guessed something: "It is indeed a big deal."

They came to a heavily guarded gate.

The two entered the meeting room with their identification cards.

A large circular conference table is placed in the center of the conference room. Warm sunlight shines into the room through the bright windows, making one feel at first glance that this is a good place to work.

Many of TPC's top executives have already taken their seats.

The familiar Director Sawai sat in the main seat, and next to him were Police Bureau Chief Yoshioka, Police Bureau Deputy Chief Gondo, Intelligence Bureau Chief Shiina, Staff Officer Yuki Fukami, Science Bureau representative Professor Kashiwamura, Space Development Bureau Chief Klia McGee... A series of important figures within TPC who were able to spare the time were sitting in this conference room.

Iruma Kei found the seat belonging to the Victory Team at the conference table and sat down with Fujiki.

After seeing everyone gathered.

Director Sawai announced the start of the meeting and began to talk about the Kirieloid people.

In previous events, they realized that there were dangers lurking among humans that they had not discovered at all, and that everyone around them could be a member of the Kirieloid people, which dealt a devastating blow to the chain of trust between people.

Fortunately, the Kirieloids can only possess corpses. As long as the person's body temperature is tested, it can be determined whether a person is possessed by a Kirieloid. At the same time, the Science Bureau also stated that it will complete the mental energy detection device within three days, and after completion it will be installed in the base's identity recognition system.

after that.

Director Sawai said solemnly to the TPC executives: "I believe that from yesterday's incident, everyone has realized that we humans are like a lone boat in a storm during the Great Change period, and we may be destroyed at any time."

"The Kirieloids are undoubtedly powerful to us, and there is more than one such powerful enemy. In the future that we humans are about to step into, there are countless challenges waiting for us."

"If you are a little careless, you might end up in an irreversible situation."

"But...luckily, we humans are not fighting alone."

"We were helpless in the battle with the Kirieloids, but at that moment, the 'Giant of Light' appeared..."

All the senior officials are aware of the existence of the Giant of Light. After all, a base has been built around the giant stone statue.

"They used their great power to help us through the crisis, saving countless lives and minimizing the damage."

"I think... we can regard the Giant of Light as a friend of mankind."

"Does anyone have anything to say about this?" Director Sawai looked at the senior executives in the conference room.

The senior executives were all thinking about it, with different ideas in their minds.

The first person to express his opinion was Director Yoshioka.

“With the example of the Kirieloids, can you really believe that those giants of light have no special purposes against humans?” Director Yoshioka said in a somewhat cold tone, and he closed the fan in his hand with a snap.

"We humans have been betrayed once, and we cannot stand a second betrayal."

"I think it remains to be seen where those giants of light stand."

Director Yoshioka was already trying to use a tactful tone to state his situation. If he wasn't in a meeting right now, he would probably demonstrate what it means to lose his temper.

As soon as he said this, many senior executives nodded silently.

Director Yoshioka had the same idea as them.

When the Flame Demon first appeared, he was doing things to save humanity in the name of an angel. He helped humans eliminate monsters that killed countless people and appeared to be doing good for humanity.

But what was the result? Didn't it still expose his ambition?

Therefore, the two giants of light could not change their minds after just one battle.

After all, humanity has been betrayed once.

At this time.

More radical people began to speak.

“Now that we have the example of the Kirieloids, I think we should gather the strength of the TPC branches of various countries to control the two giants of light.” Deputy Director Gondo said seriously.

"I remember that when we proposed the 'Light' plan, we mentioned that the giants were revived using a light energy conversion device. If that's the case, maybe we can create a device with the opposite effect and turn the giants into stone statues again."

"In this way, we can wake them up only when we need to fight, and turn them into stone statues after the battle. This way, even if they have any purpose, they will not be able to cause any trouble."

In the last meeting about the "Light" plan, Director Sawai only mentioned the use of a light energy conversion device to revive the giant stone statue, and did not mention anything about Daigu. Not many people know that the key to reviving the giant is to turn Daigu into light. The video footage of the Victory Team in the last battle is also in the hands of Director Sawai.

Therefore, these high-level officials still believed that the giants were resurrected by the light energy conversion device and came back to life simply by injecting energy.

They believe that Deputy Director Gondo's suggestions are worthy of reference.

"But, what if the Giant of Light was transformed from a human?" Professor Kashiwamura, one of the few people who knew the inside story, spoke up. The director of the TPC Science Bureau did not have time to attend the meeting, so she attended as a representative. "Since we can't trust the Giant of Light, humans are worth trusting, right?"

Professor Kashiwamura, who has been working in the laboratory for many years, did not beat around the bush when speaking and directly expressed his true thoughts.

unexpectedly.

This actually made Deputy Director Gondo's eyes light up.

"The Giant of Light was transformed from a human...?"

"Isn't that just right?"

"Since we are human, we have weaknesses. We don't have to fight the Giant of Light head-on. We can directly control the humans who have turned into the Giant of Light."

Listen to him.

Professor Kashiwamura's eyes became visibly flustered.

She realized she had said the wrong thing.

However, she was also very dissatisfied with Deputy Director Gondo's remarks. She said angrily: "Do we have to take the most radical measures? They are human beings. In this case, can't we try to trust each other?"

Gondo sneered at this.

"Professor Kashiwamura, you are also a human being. You should know how dark the hearts of human beings are."

"Do you believe that a person can devote his life wholeheartedly to the happiness of others without any selfish motives?"

"Even if this person's heart is very noble at the beginning, can you guarantee that he will not change after he has such a powerful force?"

"Ask your heart, what kind of existence are humans?"

Professor Kashiwamura was silent.

Yes.

What kind of creatures humans are, don’t they understand?

How could a giant of light transformed from a human be like the heroes in fairy tales, risking his life for others throughout his life and never changing?

She shook her head weakly, maybe...Gondo was right.

At this time.

Fujiki turned his head and looked at Director Sawai, as if they were communicating something with their eyes.

Soon, Director Sawai gave Fujiki an affirmative look.

After receiving the reply, Fujiki spoke slowly: "Deputy Director Gondo, your concerns are correct."

"But you made an error of judgement at one point."

Gondo looked at Fujiki, still wondering why a regular member of the Victory Team could attend a meeting of this level.

Then Fujiki asked him, "Deputy Director Gondo, do you know how long it would take if the Giant of Light wanted to invade the Earth?"

"What...are you talking about?" Gondo asked doubtfully. He was a little confused about the young man in front of him.
