The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

"Whether it's for humans or monsters..."

Calmly observing the two Gakuma not far away, Lu Xuan's reply was as understated as ever.

It's as if someone is secretly orchestrating this plan, and ultimately, it will be someone else, not themselves, who will achieve it.

Without Lu Xuan's vigorous promotion and guidance, this so-called "Biological Paradise Project" would never have achieved such tremendous success in just one month.

"But for the Galvin Group, this isn't the best way to handle it, is it?"

Smiling, Daigo withdrew his gaze, not forgetting Lu Xuan's current identity.

As the successor to the Galvin Group, he is in charge of handling the Kurarajima incident.

Lu Xuan's actions, which went against the interests of the Galvin Corporation, will certainly provoke a backlash from internal forces and the group.

If it weren't for Lu Xuan's special status, and the fact that the Galvin Group was essentially his personal fiefdom, his current troubles would be far more extensive than this.

"The Galvin Group was created to help me integrate smoothly into the world."

"Putting the cart before the horse is not my usual style..."

Lu Xuan paused slightly at this point.

"Besides these creatures infused with monster genes, the only other benefit of Kurara Island is the ore from which memory metal can be extracted."

"But those ores were originally secretions of Gakuma."

“Once the Gakuma species disappears, those ores will be like a tree without roots or a boundless river; they will disappear sooner or later.”

This is a very simple principle; if Lu Xuan can understand it, others can naturally understand it as well.

"So no matter which perspective you take, ensuring the continuation of the Gakuma population is the choice that truly maximizes our interests."

"Moreover, being controlled by others has never been the style of the Galvin Group."

"As early as the first day of refining shape memory metal, the Galvin Group had been trying to artificially synthesize this special metal."

"Before this incident broke out, the Galvin Group had already made some breakthroughs."

"It's just a matter of shifting the research and development location, which is actually a good thing for the various factions within the Galvin Group."

This was the first time Lu Xuan had mentioned to Daigo the factional struggles and details within the Galvin Group.

Daigo discovered that this was a large corporation that had grown to its current size.

Even with Lu Xuan and Zhi Zi guiding its development behind the scenes, the complexity of its internal forces is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"If I remember correctly, this incident was also the result of factional infighting?"

With some doubts, Daigo recalled the summary that the Galvin Company had reported to the Victory Team.

This seems to involve a professor and doctor named "Yamada" from Tokyo Biological University.

"That's right, it's human nature."

"Once a group of people reaches a certain size, factional struggles and power struggles become inevitable."

Lu Xuan neither confirmed nor denied this, and he didn't even take this small matter to heart.

"Taking advantage of the opening of 'Monster Park,' the Galvin Group will engage in further project cooperation with TPC."

"TPC executives seem to want to build a deep space exploration device made entirely of shape-memory metal..."

"You can go back and ask your captain if he's interested?"

"If you're interested, I'll have Tomoko mark the GUTS team as a 'cooperative organization' for the next 'Mars development project'."

PS: The next volume will serve as an introduction to the concept of parallel universes.

I don't have any ideas for writing other Ultraman characters yet, but a transdimensional battle featuring Tiga is already in the outline.

However, if we're going to actually write about the transdimensional war, it'll probably have to wait until the next volume.

The next volume mainly focuses on opening up parallel universes, and incidentally, it also bestows the title of "the source of calamity that disrupts time and space" on the protagonist, which is mentioned in the synopsis.

The next volume will give you an idea of ​​what a protagonist without any scruples can do.

Chapter 421 Lion's Nose Tree Sea

With the global announcement of the "New Frontiers Project," TPC launched a series of colonization plans toward space.

From strengthening Earth-Moon relations to developing Mars, and then to venturing into the solar system...

In this rapidly changing society, people on Earth hear news about space exploration almost every day.

However, in addition to external expansion, TPC has not forgotten to explore internal opportunities.

Supernatural phenomena occurring globally are gradually falling under the regulatory purview of the TPC.

Unlike the previous model that only dealt with supernatural phenomena, this approach is different.

Today, the TPC has begun to carry out paranormal prevention work globally.

The latest working philosophy and method of the Victory Team is to nip supernatural events in the bud before they occur.

"So, what does this have to do with you bringing me to Lion's Nose Tree Sea?"

Sitting in the Sherlock car driven by Daigo, Lu Xuan crossed his arms and looked out the window, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"My current identity is the publicly acknowledged BOSS of the Galvin Group, the kind who makes hundreds of millions every minute."

Daigo rolled his eyes decisively, not taking Lu Xuan's words to heart at all.

"Do you think I don't know that the entire group is being secretly guided and controlled by Zhizi?"

"Zhizi said that you've been researching some spacetime curvature project lately, and you've had a lot of free time."

Although I already knew that Daigo and Tomoko had a good relationship.

But upon hearing Daigo say that, Lu Xuan couldn't help but glare at him.

“I do have a lot of free time, but I don’t have a single minute of spare time, especially when it comes to running outsourced tasks for your Victory team.”

It's one thing for them to ask me for help on ordinary days.

This was clearly an internal mission for the Victory Team, yet they dragged an outsider like me into it. That's just too much.

"Ahem, don't be so angry!"

There's a reason I brought you here.

Seeing this, Daigo had no choice but to lay his cards on the table.

"Since the Victory team changed its work philosophy, we rarely stay at the base waiting for others to call the police."

"Most of the time, besides patrolling, we go to various locations where abnormal incidents may occur, in order to detect and prevent those incidents from happening in advance."

He nodded in affirmation of Daigo's statement, because such a change was also the result of Lu Xuan's quiet efforts.

The current GUTS team is different from the GUTS team in the original TV series. With various advanced equipment and experience, they are now capable of nipping danger in the bud.

"and then?"

Hearing Lu Xuan's question, Da Gu then muttered something embarrassedly.

"Then... it seems Lina discovered my identity..."

Seeing Lu Xuan's surprised expression, Daigo offered a further explanation before Lu Xuan could speak.

"Lina and I are partners, and we usually go to anomaly points together to carry out missions."

"However, Lina seemed to have sensed something. She kept staring at me every time there was an abnormal accident, making it impossible for me to transform into Tiga."

In fact, this is what troubles Daigo.

Daigo's personality makes it impossible for him to stand by and watch danger unfold before his eyes.

However, in order to conceal his identity as the human form of Ultraman Tiga, he had to deal with those intractable problems as a human.

As time went on, Daigo naturally began to suspect that Rena might have discovered something and was constantly searching for his weaknesses and clues.

"So you deliberately applied for a personal mission? And then pulled me over?"

Lu Xuan stared at Daigu with the look of someone looking at an idiot, practically pointing at the other's head and calling him a fool.

"What's the difference between this and self-disclosure?"

"I seriously suspect that even if Lina didn't doubt your identity before, she's starting to doubt it now."

Upon hearing this, Daigo was immediately dumbfounded.

Daigo hadn't really thought of that; he just felt that applying for a solo mission might make things easier.

In addition, Zhi Zi said that Lu Xuan has been researching some kind of spacetime curvature project recently.

Bringing him to the Lion's Nose Tree Sea to carry out a mission can be considered a specialization of his skills.

"Forget it, I don't expect you to use your brain anymore."

With another helpless sigh, Lu Xuan felt that it was his fault for having too many expectations of Daigo.

So many years have passed, and this kid is still as reckless as he was back then.

"Besides, after driving for so long, didn't you realize you were going back and forth on the same road over and over again?"

Daigo, whose intelligence was completely outmatched, blinked twice before turning his head to look at both sides of the road.

This is a country dirt road, flanked by towering trees and dense forests.

Sherlock drove for several hours without the scenery changing at all.

Daigo originally thought that this road was long enough.

But now that Lu Xuan has described it this way, it does seem a bit off.

"That big tree... isn't it the same big tree we saw when we first arrived here?"

Muttering something uncertain to himself, Daigo then remembered to bring up the car's navigation system, only to find that it couldn't provide a specific route due to the chaotic magnetic field.

Or to be more precise, the car's navigation system had already lost connection.

No matter how Daigo adjusted it, the navigation could only display a chaotic and incorrect route, which was of no reference value whatsoever.

"what happened?"

Now it was Lu Xuan's turn to stare wide-eyed at Daigu in disbelief.

"You don't know what happened?"

"You brought me to this godforsaken place just because I've been studying spacetime curvature lately, haven't you?"

"Such obvious magnetic field disorder and such abnormal spacetime fluctuations, didn't you already know about them all along?"

Upon hearing this, Daigo glanced at Lu Xuan with some hesitation, but still dared not meet his gaze.

"Wait, you don't really know nothing about this, do you?"

Daigo guiltily averted his gaze. Although he didn't say anything, his expression made it seem as if he had said everything.

"You bastard……"

"This is the Lion's Nose Forest, a globally renowned area of ​​temporal and spatial chaos, a place of calamity on par with the Bermuda Triangle!"

It wasn't until Lu Xuan was so angry that he wanted to take action that Daigu cautiously offered an explanation.

"I've only heard that the magnetic field in Lion's Nose Tree Sea is a bit abnormal, and that various disappearances seem to occur there year after year..."

"I never imagined that there would actually be a spacetime anomaly here..."

Not only was Daigo unaware of it, but even the GUTS team didn't take those folk tales seriously.

Feeling both angry and aching, Lu Xuan could only helplessly look up at the sky.

"I'm so unlucky to have such a jerk like you!"

Lion's Nose Forest, located in the Aokigahara Forest at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan, is a world-renowned suicide forest.

It is said that the sheer number of suicides here has turned the interior into a distorted, alien space.
