Lu Xuan knew that Kirino Makio was unhappy with his decision to forcibly send Saki away.
Lu Xuan didn't regret it, and didn't even care about Kirino Makio's subtle way of expressing his dissatisfaction.
Ultimately, Lu Xuan only truly cares about a handful of people on this earth.
Lu Xuan himself could stay and challenge Gatanothor for the sake of Earth.
But he would never allow someone like Saki, an "unrelated person," to be buried with him.
If Daigo and Jia'er weren't destined to stay, Lu Xuan would have sent them away as well.
“You always say I’m cold-blooded, that I’m heartless…”
"But the truly cold-blooded ones are you, the ones who usually appear the most affectionate."
Calmly gazing at Kirino Makio, Lu Xuan knew better than anyone why the other didn't want him to send Saki away.
“Saki is my friend.”
“I cannot allow you to drag her civilization into this war that doesn’t belong to them in order to increase your chances of winning the ‘final battle’.”
Having his thoughts exposed by Lu Xuan's words, Kirino Makio could only sigh helplessly in the end.
This was indeed one of the reasons why he wanted to force Saki to stay.
More importantly, Kirino Makio knew that only if the people Lu Xuan cared about remained on Earth would he truly go all out to fight the evil god Gatanothor.
Call it despicable or shameless.
Kirino Makio didn't care what others thought of him; he only cared whether humanity could ultimately defeat Gatanothor.
"Despair is spreading in people's hearts, and the flower of Zigela is about to bloom."
"We must now prevent the Dark Giants from becoming the vanguard of the 'Dark Ruler'."
Slowly opening his palm, Kirino Makio produced a sprouting Zigela flower from somewhere and emphasized in a low, hoarse tone.
"So, I really hate you charlatans who only say half of what you mean."
No longer looking at Kirino Makio, Lu Xuan looked up at the ceiling, his gaze seemingly reaching through the ceiling to the boundless blue sky and white clouds.
"Now that Gatanothor has made his move..."
"So it's indeed time for this global farce to end."
Before he finished speaking, countless bolts of lightning suddenly erupted from Lu Xuan's body.
Immediately, Lu Xuan, who was sitting opposite Kirino Makio, disappeared, replaced by an invisible electromagnetic wave that blended into the surrounding air.
——Lightning Man - Electromagnetic Wave Form!
At the same time, countless bolts of light began to converge in the ionosphere above the Earth.
Correspondingly, wherever monsters and demons appeared on the Earth's surface, faint, indistinct faces also appeared.
They are the Lightning Men, the protectors of Earth's ecology, and the executors of the will of Uranus, the god of the sky.
Boom!
No matter how rampant those demons and monsters were before.
Beneath the lightning that converged into thunder and lightning, all creatures could only obediently fall back into slumber, otherwise they would face an eternal sleep from which they could never awaken again.

Chapter 652 The "Light" Belonging to Masaki Keigo
On a patrol car belonging to the Victory Team in Tokyo, Japan.
Daigo, sitting in the passenger seat, seemed to suddenly sense something and abruptly widened his eyes to look at the sky outside the window.
The next instant, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, then transformed into a golden eagle that swooped down on the monster closest to Tokyo.
"Lightning Man!?"
Lina also noticed the baby Bassa made of lightning and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"That direction... is that Desmond?"
Desmon is a monster that appeared as demons revived worldwide.
Its specific origin has not yet been found; all that is known is that it is a monster that mutated after being infected by cosmic bacteria.
Besides cleaning up the Cigela Flowers in the Tokyo area, Lina and Daigo's other task is to eliminate the suddenly mutated Desmons.
"It seems that Lightning Man has finally decided to make his move!"
TPC and the GUTS team have always held different opinions on why the Lightning Man did not intervene in this global resurgence of demons and monsters.
It now seems that it's not that the Lightning Man isn't going to act, but rather that the time hasn't come yet.
"Did something happen?"
Even more thoughtful than Daigo, Rena's words made him frown again.
However, Daigo was unaware of what had happened that led the Lightning Man to make his move at this moment.
The only certainty is that this matter is definitely related to Lu Xuan.
What are you thinking, Lu Xuan?
......................................................................................................
Meanwhile, in Masaki Keigo's own secret base.
After receiving a direct warning from the TPC's militant faction leaders, Masaki Keigo knew he could no longer hide.
Regardless of the final outcome of the Pacific War, the situation has now reached a point where humanity must fight desperately.
Masaki Keigo believed that he was not the only one who had heard similar warnings.
After all, Masaki Keigo knows that there is more than one scientist who is privately conducting "non-compliant research".
Not to mention those mad scientists who receive support from large corporations and conglomerates; their research projects and ongoing experiments are only more insane than their own.
Immortality, gene cloning, memory transfer, bionic personality, virtual world...
In this era of technological explosion, never underestimate the endless pursuit of "life" by the wealthy and powerful.
To be honest, if the TPC hadn't always been so strict in cracking down on all forms of human experimentation, some groups and companies on the market would probably have already produced concrete results.
Even so, transplanting a custom-made bio-prosthetic body from Gaia has become a backup option for most wealthy people to prolong their lives.
"Take me to Unit-00's hangar."
The thoughts in one's mind do not affect actual actions.
Masaki Keigo quickly led a large group of staff to a more secluded hangar inside the base.
This is where Masaki Keigo's true trump card lies, and it was also the original intention behind him establishing this secret base.
Compared to the hangars of those mechanical monsters outside.
This hangar is not only secluded in its location, but its equipment and decoration are also extremely luxurious.
Most importantly, this hangar contains a mind synchronization system that is considered "cutting-edge technology" even within TPC.
With this system, the mechanical monsters created by Masaki Keigo no longer need the assistance of artificial intelligence programs; they can go to the battlefield on their own.
Although it sounds a bit ridiculous.
However, Masaki Keigo genuinely believed that the mechanical monster he piloted himself was far superior to the mechanical monster controlled by artificial intelligence.
Even the mechanical Melba, which has been implanted with an artificial neural network, can only unleash its full potential when empowered by its own will.
Of course, Masaki Keigo's idea was not arrogant.
The reason why his thought synchronization system can be called "black technology" is precisely because it can greatly enhance the supporting mechanical components.
This was a byproduct of Masaki Keigo's research on the giant stone statues.
Through long-term research, Masaki Keigo discovered that the reason why the "Giants of Light" have the prefix "light" is because their source of power comes from "light".
In fact, this "light" is not pure energy, but something akin to belief.
This belief can come from oneself or from others.
If a giant's belief is strong enough, he can unleash abilities beyond his own limits.
Just how powerful does it need to be?
Based on Masaki Keigo's research on Ultraman Tiga and Galvin.
It is generally accepted that when a belief becomes so pure that it is visible to the naked eye and transforms into "light," a giant can transcend the limits.
The stronger the user's belief, the stronger the power that the mind synchronization system can exert.
Once it reaches a certain extreme, it can even change the rules of the physical world to some extent.
Of course, the mind synchronization system that Masaki Keigo is currently developing certainly cannot reach that level yet, but this also means that humanity has initially cracked the secrets of the Titans.
"This is my 'light'!"
"It is also a 'light' that belongs to humankind itself!"
He stared intently at the mind synchronization system.
Masaki Keigo then turned his gaze to the huge scaffolding to the side.
There, a mechanical giant, completely modeled after Ultraman Tiga and Galvin, stood prominently.
Having learned from the previous experience with the mechanical island, Masaki Keigo did not try to be clever by using alien materials to create this mechanical giant.
Whether it's its core skeleton or the armor on its surface...
Masaki Keigo uses only the latest materials developed and researched by humans and TPC itself.
In terms of strength, this mechanical giant is definitely not as strong as the mechanical giant on the mechanical island back then.
However, the advantage of this mechanical giant lies in its fully mature artificial neural network and the thought synchronization system tailored for it by Keigo Masaki.
An artificial neural network with self-learning and self-evolution capabilities.
It is paired with a mind synchronization system dominated by Masaki Keigo's will, which can surpass the limits in a short period of time.
The effect of these two is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Each time the thought synchronization system is used to push the limits, the artificial neural network is able to quickly adapt to this extreme force.
Once the artificial neural network adapts to this extreme force, it may be able to unleash even greater potential beyond the limit in the next instance.
This cycle of repetition and overlap is the key reason why Masaki Keigo has always regarded this mechanical giant as his trump card.
"Activate the mind synchronization system. I am now going to pilot Unit Zero."
When Masaki Keigo said those words, the staff member next to him was immediately stunned.
"President, isn't this going to work?"
"The mind synchronization system requires strong conviction and extensive training to achieve synchronization with Unit Zero..."
"You're not a professional; I'm afraid you can't handle something this dangerous!"
After giving the staff member a dismissive glance, Masaki Keigo spoke in a confident, almost arrogant tone.
"Only I can control Unit-00."
"Because I am Masaki Keigo!"

Chapter 653 Battle of Giants
The battlefield between the mechanical Melba and Terranoyd in the skies above South America.
As time went on, the new city became more and more accustomed to the power of Terranord, and the resistance of the mechanical Melba grew weaker and weaker.
With the power of the individual Specia, the mechanical Wilbara indeed possessed superhuman regeneration and self-healing abilities.
However, this regeneration and self-healing ability is not unlimited; it will consume a great deal of the mechanical Melba's energy and material reserves.
Especially after losing contact with their kin from the R'lyeh Ruins, the Sphia individuals who had assimilated with the mechanical Melba had basically come to understand their own predicament.
Fortunately, after the ancient humans transformed into Spia individuals, their emotions were greatly weakened, leaving only the most basic thoughts and memories.
