Without hesitation, Ryan opened his palm, and a thunderbolt instantly struck the tentacle.
Boom!
The acrid smell of burning organic matter, combined with the dazzling electric light, immediately attracted the attention of the TPC's local office.
Since the last global resurgence of monsters and evil gods, TPC has established vertical subordinate agencies around the world.
These subordinate agencies are not under the jurisdiction of the local government and are specifically responsible for various supernatural phenomena occurring in the area.
Especially when the energy indicators monitoring local anomalies reach their peak, these subordinate agencies will immediately contact the Victory Team to handle these anomalies.
"We need to finish this quickly, or the Victory Team will be here soon!"
Floating far away in mid-air, Jia'er spoke to Ryan through the communication device.
Let's not even mention that the Extraterrestrial League and the Victory Team are already rivals.
The extraterrestrial alliance's investigation attracted the Victory Team, which could easily be seen as a power struggle between the two organizations.
Daigo's discovery that Kari had joined the Extraterrestrial Alliance was enough to keep him nagging for a long time.
Kari didn't want Daigo to find out about her joining the Extraterrestrial Alliance so soon.
At least before becoming a full member, Kari didn't want Daigo to use his connections to forcibly transfer her away from the Extraterrestrial Alliance.
"I'd like to finish this quickly, but the problem is that it's simply impossible to do so!"
With a hint of helplessness, Ryan muttered something under his breath, his gaze fixed on the already active Zijra flowers below.
Because in just a few breaths, the Flower of Zigela was completely transformed into a monster.
The blooming petals release a captivating fragrance...
Thick, gnarled roots forcefully emerge from the ground...
Except for its size not yet reaching fifty or sixty meters, the current Zijera Flower is already no different from a real monster.
"Use the weapons!"
Seeing this, Kari, who was eager to resolve the issue of the Flower of Zigela, made a suggestion.
"Use armed forces? That would require writing a whole bunch of reports!"
"You know I've always hated writing reports, especially reports that are completely unnecessary!"
Somewhat surprised that Ryan's concern was actually the post-event summary report, Jia'er rolled her eyes in exasperation.
"Are you really the captain of the special operations team?"
"Shouldn't the task of writing reports be delegated to your team members?"
"Lucia, Zara, if all else fails, there's always an unofficial reporter, right?"
"I remember that reporter's name was Xuena, right? She must be very good at writing these kinds of reports!"
Upon hearing this, Ryan, who had been looking conflicted, immediately fell silent.
"So... this kind of report can be written by other people?"
In response, Jia rolled her eyes again to express her speechless feelings.
"Are you even a proper working professional?"
"Asking subordinates to write reports is a 'basic operation' that even a high school student like me knows!"
Ryan glanced up at Jia'er silently, then swallowed the words he was about to say.
After all, he couldn't very well say that his former boss had never taught him such crooked ways.
[Fine! It's just a report! I'll write it!]
A resolute glint flashed in Ryan's eyes. Having readjusted his mindset, Ryan finally displayed the courage he needed as the captain of the special operations team.
"Application for Level 1 Armed Forces initiated, applicant: Ryan!"
Before he finished speaking, a visible spatial ripple immediately appeared behind Ryan.
Meanwhile, the mobile tactical watch worn on Ryan's wrist also issued a coordination command, establishing contact with a large think tank of the Extraterrestrial Alliance.
In an instant, a half-open manned armored vehicle emerged from space.
Without any hesitation, Ryan suddenly leaped backward into the cockpit of the manned armor, achieving the "human-armor fusion" step.
"Pilot detected boarding, identity verification system activated!"
"Verification successful, codename 'Lightning'!"
"Dear Mr. Lightning, 'Titan One' is happy to serve you!"

Chapter 668 An Era of Shining Stars
Meanwhile, in a building of an extraterrestrial alliance thousands of miles away.
The mechanical girl Kallen was currently lying impatiently on the desk, the energy channels on her face resembling "tear stains" flashing red light from time to time.
For Karen, who has never hesitated to showcase her mechanical side.
Every part of her body was covered with all sorts of mechanical parts and mechanical marks.
The "tear stains" on her face are a product of this, expressing Karen's current mood and physical condition.
"Sister Karen, 'Titan One' has been activated."
Approaching Kallen cautiously, the mechanical jade rabbit, assigned to be her secretary, hesitated for a moment before finally whispering a reminder, trembling slightly.
Just like Karen, Jade Rabbit's drooping ears also conveyed her current fear to outsiders.
To be honest, if it weren't for being forced by Lady Nine-Tailed to be Kallen's secretary, Jade Rabbit would rather be guarding a space tourism station located in outer orbit around Earth.
Since the Galvin Group officially launched the sightseeing station tourism project, Yutu has found a way to realize its life value.
Just looking at the smiling faces of humans on the space station gives Yutu a deep sense of satisfaction.
After all, she was created to serve humanity.
"Look at you, so full of yourself. Am I really that scary?"
Suddenly straightening up, Karen grabbed Jade Rabbit's cheek and pulled it, forcing her to force a smile.
"Don't forget, you're not some service robot anymore, you're a genuine silicon-based life form!"
"You never think about yourself, you only think about serving humanity. I've never seen such a 'doormat' as you."
With a hint of disappointment, Karen released the Jade Rabbit, only then remembering the important matter at hand.
"Wait, you mean Titan One?"
"Have those troublemakers from the special operations team gotten me into trouble again?"
Karen was filled with rage whenever this was mentioned.
Since replacing Saki as the chairperson of the Extraterrestrial Alliance, she has been cleaning up the messes of the special operations team.
Every time Karen faced the aggressive questioning from the higher-ups at TPC, she wanted to drag those guys over and kill them.
"Where's Ryosuke Sanada!?"
"Where is that guy hiding now? Let him deal with these troublemakers himself!"
"It's one thing for Ryan to bring along someone who has no common sense, but why are Lucia and Zack also following Shena's nonsense?"
Before becoming the president of the Extraterrestrial Alliance, Karen had always envied Saki for being able to manage such a large organization.
However, only when she was in that position did Karen realize how precious Saki's calm and collected demeanor truly was.
"Well, actually... this has nothing to do with Scherna."
"It was Ryan who summoned Titan One this time. It seems he's run into some trouble?"
Hearing Jade Rabbit's defense of Ryan, Kallen, who was already furious, became even more agitated.
"What trouble could that guy possibly be in?"
"He's half lightning, who on this planet would dare mess with him?"
"And why does that guy always have to summon Titan One? Can't he just transform into Baby Bartholomew?"
"Uranus is his real boss! Why should I always have to clean up his messes!"
Seeing that Kallen was clearly enraged, Jade Rabbit carefully took half a step back, afraid that she would vent her anger on herself.
Fortunately, Karen's emotions came and went quickly.
She quickly realized what it meant for Ryan to summon "Titan One".
"Titan One?"
"If I remember correctly, that manned armor was upgraded not long ago, right?"
Seeing that Karen's emotions had changed from anger to curiosity, Jade Rabbit quickly nodded and changed the subject.
"Yes, it's the 'Titan One' that's directly connected to the think tank."
"That was originally a 'gift' that the eldest sister prepared to give to Jia'er, so it was specially taken to the Gailvin Group headquarters for special upgrades and modifications."
The "big sister" that the Jade Rabbit mentioned refers to the omnipresent Zhi Zi.
As for why the Jade Rabbit would use such a vulgar way to address Tomoko, that's naturally thanks to the many bad habits of Kallen.
"Uh……"
A moment of silence fell over her. Karen couldn't help but blink, and it took her a while to process this shocking fact.
“Transfer all relevant data about ‘Titan I’ to me, including the original manned mech project.”
While Kalian was speaking, Yutu had already transmitted all the data of "Titan One" to the other party via the network.
......................................................................................................
The manned mech project originated from the war against Gatanothor two years ago.
In that war, in order to fight against the dark creatures under Gatanothor's command, humanity had to bring out manned mechs—a single-soldier combat weapon specifically developed to counter monsters—ahead of schedule.
These manned mechs are generally used in conjunction with various types of aircraft carriers, and their role is to provide individual combat support and protect the safety of the aircraft carrier.
When necessary, these manned mechs may even need to confront powerful monsters head-on.
Because "biological disasters" like monsters are different from ordinary war situations.
They possess far greater agility than fighter jets, allowing them to land directly on the surface of an aircraft carrier and cause damage.
Only a sufficiently flexible and powerful individual combat mech can avoid inflicting additional damage on the aircraft carrier itself while fighting monsters.
However, once the existence of manned mechs was revealed, it quickly became the focus of TPC's various war and military departments.
They discovered that, compared to traditional weapons of war, manned mechs, as individual combat weapons, have unparalleled adaptability in combating "biological disasters."
Given the increasingly serious signs of monster resurgence around the world, after careful consideration, the TPC leadership finally decided to promote manned mechs as a regular project throughout the entire TPC.
In this process, "Cedik Technology Corporation," which already possessed the ability to manufacture mechanical monsters, naturally became a major entity undertaking the "Manned Mech Project."
Therefore, after two years of continuous combat and modifications, the manned mechs have undergone a complete transformation.
A single-person local area network built using artificial neural networks...
High-frequency weapons manufactured using the principle of high-frequency vibration...
More powerful and sophisticated unmanned patrol aircraft...
Miniaturized Max Active Power Furnace...
And a specially designed individual force field shield generously sponsored by the Galvin Group...
In a sense, the current manned mechs can be seen as a scaled-down version of mechanical giants.

Chapter 669 The Technological Explosion
Aside from the upgrading of manned mechs themselves, the TPC leadership has never restricted the circulation of such special individual combat weapons.
In these not-so-long two years, almost every person in the front-line combat units within TPC had a standard manned mech.
