"That's why I really hate self-righteous guys like you."
"They possess extremely advanced technology, but lack genuine scientific literacy..."
"Real science is not about 'playing with cats and dogs,' but about taming those 'tigers' we don't yet know about!"
"To abandon the exploration of the unknown and science simply because of the potential danger of 'tigers'..."
"People like you can only be called researchers or experts, not real scientists!"
"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!"

Chapter 594 The Victory Team's Monster Partners (Third Update, Please Subscribe!)
"Zilda gas?" X2
Inside the Victory Flying Swallow, Daigo and Rena simultaneously raised the same question.
Even for Daigo and Rena, members of the GUTS team who have extremely high privileges within TPC, this was the first time they had ever heard the name "Zelda Gas".
However, now is clearly not the time to satisfy Daigo and Rena's curiosity.
Therefore, Megumi Iruma on the other end of the communicator simply gave a brief and clear introduction to the situation of Zildar Gas.
"Simply put, it is an extremely dangerous gas with power exceeding that of a hydrogen bomb."
"Once the strange bird gets to that base, the Zelda gas it releases will be enough to destroy all of Japan, and even more..."
Upon hearing this, Daigo and Rena immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
Lina no longer hesitated, immediately uncovered a hidden button, and pressed it decisively.
Click!
In an instant, Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 was like a ferocious beast that had been activated.
Every part of the fuselage began to twist in a slight, yet very noticeable way.
Both were teetering precariously in the gale, but now the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 seemed to be dancing in the wind, releasing its long-suppressed excitement.
Even more outrageous, as the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 twisted and danced, its wings actually bent into a structure that a mechanical body could not possibly have.
Just like a bird flapping its wings, the Victory Swallow No. 1 displayed an amazing... "spirituality" at this moment.
Yes, in addition to "spirituality".
Those watching from below were at a loss for words to describe the performance of the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1.
Like a real bird in flight, the Victory Swallow No. 1 began flapping its wings in a way that completely defied the laws of physics.
However, this is not the end.
As the fuselage twisted and the wings flapped, two enormous eyes opened directly in front of the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1.
They look like two-dimensional characters straight out of a cartoon set.
Those two enormous eyes blinked, displaying both childishness and madness, a strangeness tinged with a hint of comicality.
......................................................................................................
Victory Team Base Headquarters.
"what is that!?"
The one who uttered this question was Director Sawai, who had somehow connected with the GUTS team.
He stared wide-eyed, his face filled with shock at the comical, funny, yet terrifying scene on the big screen.
If this scene involving Victory Swallow No. 1 had appeared in a cartoon or anime, onlookers would only find it funny and amusing.
But since this scene actually occurred in the real world, the shock it brought was exceptionally terrifying.
This behavior, which violates the body's structure and even the laws of physics, has completely refreshed Director Sawai's worldview and professional qualities as a scientist.
"It has been hidden inside Victory Swallow No. 1 ever since the 'Ruins Incident'..."
"Or, to use Dr. Yamausagi's words, it is the Victory Flying Swallow 1 itself."
"Although the doctor rewrote its program as much as possible, he was still unable to completely delete it."
The "ruins incident" mentioned by Megumi Kijima refers to the ruins where "Sleeping Beauty" awakened a god-level civilization, and a mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex was created based on these ruins.
In that incident, Victory Swallow 1 was unfortunately hit by the attack of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex, and has since become an animated entity.
Although Dr. Yao successfully rewrote the main program of Victory Swallow 1 afterward.
However, the structure of the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 has undergone tremendous changes, and it is impossible for it to return to its original form simply because of the rewriting of the internal program.
Unless the Victory Team remelts it, there is no way to completely kill the revived Victory Flying Swallow No. 1.
Putting aside whether it's necessary or not, the feelings that the members of the Victory Team have for Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 make it absolutely impossible for them to make such a choice.
Left with no other choice, the Victory Team members could only keep Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 in its original form by modifying and restricting the main program.
“You didn’t say before that the situation of Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 was this serious.”
Taking a deep breath, Director Sawai, as expected of someone who had seen the world, quickly calmed himself down.
To be honest, TPC's top brass did receive reports that Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 had malfunctioned and showed signs of reviving.
But they never imagined that Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 would encounter a situation similar to that of "Giputa No. 3", or even more exaggerated.
After all, Gypsy III only officially gained life after assimilating with the astronauts.
However, the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 in front of us successfully transformed into a real life form after being all alone from beginning to end.
"do you know?"
"You're taming a monster!"
In Director Sawai's eyes, the current Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 is a monster that has not yet grown up.
He wasn't sure if the Victory team was intentionally hiding this information or genuinely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.
However, in this situation, the only way to stop the monster bird from heading to the former Earth Defense Force base is to rely on this monster that evolved from Victory Swallow 1.
As for the controversy surrounding the GUTS team, which is always dedicated to defeating monsters and protecting humans, the fact that they secretly tamed a monster?
Director Sawai felt that a detailed discussion and handling could only be carried out afterward.
At the very least, with this achievement of stopping the strange bird, public opinion and other high-level officials will certainly abandon those more extreme methods of handling the situation.
But all of this is based on the premise that the strangely twisting Victory Swallow No. 1 on the screen can actually stop the monster bird's actions.
"Can it really stop the strange bird's actions?"
With this in mind, Director Sawai finally asked the most crucial question.
Compared to the enormous, strange bird, the Victory Swallow No. 1, flying in the gale, really looked like just a tiny sparrow.
The huge difference in size makes it really hard to have confidence in it.
Moreover, whether the Victory Flying Swallow 1, once its restrictions are lifted, will obediently follow orders is a huge question.
"This is no problem; it's much better than you imagine."
Just as the members of the GUTS team were wondering how to answer Director Sawai's question.
Dr. Yao, who always preferred to stay in the lab, pushed open the door to the command room.
"I think the real issue now is whether it can stop the strange bird's actions..."
"It would be better to think carefully about why that strange bird would want to go to the base built by the former Earth Defense Force."

Chapter 595 "Because I like Daigo!"
Meanwhile, inside the cockpit of Victory Flying Swallow No. 1.
Compared to the astonishment and fear outside, this presents a completely different picture.
Although the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 successfully came back to life, it did not harm Lina and Daigo, who were sitting in the cockpit.
On the contrary, to prevent the two from being injured by the bumps, their seats were thoughtfully equipped with devices to completely secure them.
It's a special device structure similar to a universal wheel, which maintains a fixed deflection range in response to external swaying and shaking.
The result is that no matter how much the aircraft shakes and flies around outside, the cabin remains a peaceful and tranquil place, like a secluded paradise.
"This……"
Lina, who had long been prepared to sacrifice herself, could not hide her astonishment when she saw this scene.
On the contrary, Daigo, who had advocated pressing the button from the beginning, remained unexpectedly calm.
Lina is just a little slow-witted, not really stupid.
Upon seeing Daigo's expression, he immediately understood the whole story.
"You communicated with it without Professor Yamata's knowledge?"
Lina's words immediately created an awkward atmosphere.
Daigo blinked hard, trying to explain something, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
Because he did communicate with Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, but it wasn't something he subjectively wanted to communicate with.
Since returning from the time-space rift, Daigo has awakened the ability to sense the "mood" of anything.
From plants and animals to glaciers, mountains and rivers, and everything in nature...
Daigo could sense subtle changes in his mindset from anything that existed.
The more self-aware a thing is, the more obvious the changes Daigo senses from it become.
The Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 is naturally one of the best among them.
The intense emotions he exuded were even more pronounced than those of a normal person.
As a long-term and fixed pilot of the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, Daigo inevitably came into contact with it.
Then Daigo realized that this consciousness was not as dangerous as everyone had imagined.
It is like a newborn child, full of curiosity and longing for the outside world.
Even when Dr. Yamata altered its main program, preventing it from directly controlling the machine, it never exhibited any negative emotions.
On the contrary, whenever Daigo piloted the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 into the sky, he could clearly feel the excitement and joy of the consciousness.
Most importantly, when Victory Swallow No. 1 realized that Daigo could sense its feelings, it unsurprisingly developed a liking for him.
In particular, whenever Daigo piloted the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 on duty, he would change the flight path and flight mode according to its mood, and this goodwill turned into an undisguised liking.
"Never mind, you can explain this to the captain and the others when you get back!"
Lina narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly realizing something, but didn't press for details. Instead, she deliberately lowered her voice and gave a word of advice.
"I only have one question now: could you talk to it and ask it to loosen its grip on me a little?"
When Lina deliberately raised her voice, she glanced meaningfully at Daigo, who was also strapped into the driver's seat.
"At the very least, they should receive the same treatment as you."
Compared to Rena, who was completely restrained by shackles, Daigo's treatment was clearly much better.
Lina is also a universal device that can maintain balance as the outside world shakes, but now only her mouth can move.
In contrast, Daigo's hands and feet were not affected by the universal joints, except for his waist and chest, which were fixed in place.
"no!"
Before Daigo could reply, a childish voice suddenly came from the communicator and decisively rejected Lina's request.
The voice was childish yet unusually excited, and combined with the obviously synthesized voice, it was clear at a glance that it was the person who had interrupted the two people who had just been discussing.
"Uh……"
Faced with this unexpected yet reasonable scene.
Lina paused briefly, then resumed her conversation with Victory Swallow No. 1 without changing her expression.
"why?"
