What is the background of the Galvin Group?
What kind of background does the Galvin Group have?
Is it not just a multinational, cross-industry, and cross-sectoral technology giant?
"Galvin Group's business competitors?"
"That is indeed possible."
"However, as I said before, companies of similar size generally know that such methods will not affect the strength of the Galvin Group at all."
A slight smile curved his lips, and Lu Xuan's ambiguous expression turned into a cold sneer.
"So what the people who are funding you behind the scenes really want is to damage the reputation of the Galvin Group, thereby affecting some of the Galvin Group's recent project plans."
"With this premise, it becomes very simple to select those who are capable and qualified to influence the internal audit mechanism of the Galvin Group."
With just a few words, Lu Xuan dissected the possible identity of the mastermind, and his words made Dr. Yamada's face turn extremely pale.
"As expected of the successor personally chosen by President Tony..."

Chapter 416 Unlocking the Ancestral Form
The origin of the whole incident can actually be traced back to the period when the Galvin Group was first established and began to expand.
At that time, the Galvin Group was not yet the size and scale it is today, and its thirst for talent was at its most intense.
Under the dual guidance of Lu Xuan and Zhi Zi, the early Galvin Group did not care about the character and morality of its employees. As long as they had technology and talent, they could join the Galvin Group in its early stages.
Dr. Yamada, a notoriously unruly visiting professor at Tokyo University of Biology, joined the Gavin Group under these circumstances.
Because he had been with the company for a long time, and Dr. Yamada did indeed possess exceptional skills.
His position within the Gavin Group rose rapidly, and he was once considered by Zhizi as one of the candidates for the real management team.
Unfortunately, before Dr. Yamada could pass Somoko's test, he secretly stole monster cells for research, which caused distrust between the Galvin Group and the GUTS team.
However, Dr. Yamada not only did not change his mind, but also went further and proposed the idea and proposal of "artificially breeding monsters".
As expected, Tomoko abandoned this arrogant human and sent him to Kurara Island in a semi-exile manner.
To be fair, although the Gailvin Group relegated him to a lower position, his treatment in all aspects was not reduced at all.
The presence of two more Gakuma ensures that Dr. Yamada still occupies a significant place in the research system within Gaelvin.
However, Dr. Yamada was not willing to give up.
He felt that the Galvin Group's decision to ignore the Monsters project despite knowing its potential was a shameful waste.
At this time, a company that was competing with the Galvin Group on the "private space satellite" project approached Dr. Yamada.
Just as Lu Xuan had guessed.
This company had no idea that the Galvin Group was actually a tech giant orchestrated by aliens; they simply wanted to cause trouble for the Galvin Group.
If this could cause TPC to distrust the Galvin Group, and consequently award the contract for the private space program to develop Mars to their own company, that would be ideal.
In this niche market, the company is confident that it can outperform any tech giant on Earth, except for the Galvin Group.
As for Dr. Yamada?
He stated that he never intended to betray the Galvin Group.
He just felt that the Galvin Group should sometimes be bolder in order to maintain its huge advantage in cutting-edge technology projects.
......................................................................................................
"What about Golza's tail?"
After silently listening to Dr. Yamada's explanation, Lu Xuan turned his gaze to the tail of the red Gakuma.
As time went by, the tail that originally belonged to Golza had completely assimilated with the red Jakuma, and there was no longer any discord between them.
"Golza's...tail?"
Following Lu Xuan's gaze, Dr. Yamada realized what the other person was talking about.
"That tail was an accident..."
"I originally just wanted to conduct atavism research on those two Gakuma, but I unexpectedly attracted that tail."
This timeline is different from the original Ultraman Tiga TV series.
On this timeline, humanity's understanding of monsters far surpasses that of any previous era.
Therefore, as an expert in the field of biological research, Dr. Yamada was well aware of the chasm-like gap between ancient monsters and ordinary monsters.
Unfortunately, both of the Gakumar possessed genes from ancient monsters.
It would be unlike Dr. Yamada's personality if he didn't conduct atavism experiments on these two Gakuma.
"So you forcibly transplanted Golza's tail onto Gakuma?"
Lu Xuan declined to comment on Dr. Yamada's actions.
He could only sense from the roar of the red Gakuma the hatred the other party felt for Dr. Yamada and for humanity.
Unlike his younger brother, Crimson Gakuma, after being assimilated by Golza's power, lost all goodwill toward humans and was replaced by endless resentment.
Especially Dr. Yamada, who caused her to become like this, Red Gakuma's heart is filled with nothing but hatred.
"This is the inevitable price to pay for human progress."
Still showing no sign of remorse, Dr. Yamada spoke in a resolute tone.
"cost?"
This time, Lu Xuan's sneer turned into undisguised mockery.
"Another fanatical human supremacist."
"Have you considered whether Gakuma is willing to become the 'price' you're talking about?"
"Are those petrified miners willing to become the 'price' you're referring to?"
"Are the staff who are fighting against the rampaging monsters willing to become the 'price' you're talking about?"
Under Dr. Yamada's incredulous gaze, the wristwatch on Lu Xuan's wrist began to spin automatically, emitting a terrifying aura similar to that of an ancient monster.
"To disguise their ambitions under the pretext of 'for the progress of humanity'..."
"You're not even as good as those ambitious people who openly admit their ambitions."
"You're a coward, a coward who can't even admit defeat!"
As Lu Xuan took a small step forward, his body rapidly expanded and changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Armored structures resembling mountains appeared on his body, and his bulging muscles undulated like mountain ranges...
One step, two steps, three steps...
As Lu Xuan gradually transformed into a monster and appeared, his terrifying ancient aura stunned the entire audience.
"Gakuma!?"
Watching Lu Xuan transform from a human into a monster, Dr. Yamada was beyond words with shock.
More importantly, the monster Lu Xuan transformed into this time was none other than Gakuma.
However, it is different from a regular Gakuma, and it is not a mutated individual like the Red Gakuma.
The form of Gakuma, which Lu Xuan transformed into, was rather petite.
Even if you measure it from head to toe, its height would not exceed forty meters, far less impressive than the Red Gakuma, which is nearly sixty meters tall.
What truly captivated Lu Xuan's transformed form, Gakuma, was its sharp and savage aura.
That was the aura that only truly ancient monsters could possess, and an aura that ordinary monsters could never have.
Of course, besides striking features in temperament and appearance.
The "∞" symbol on the chest of this Gakuma, which successfully reverted to its ancestral form, is equally eye-catching.
As an essential feature of the Omnitrix transformation, Lu Xuan usually moves the "∞" to a relatively hidden place.
It usually occurs in the palm or on the forearm.
However, since this atavism transformation was not tested beforehand, the "∞" symbol appeared by default on Gakuma's most prominent chest.
—Ancient Rock Monster, Generation 1 Gakuma!
[A Gakuma atavistic?]
[So... the company had already mastered the monster's power all along!]
Shock, realization, helplessness, relief...
A mix of complex emotions left Dr. Yamada with no choice but to look up at the back of the first Gakuma.
And this was the last scene he would ever see in his life.
Because the red Gakuma not far away had already noticed the appearance of the first Gakuma, and decisively spat out a scorching lava breath in this direction.
Boom!
Rocks breaking, buildings collapsing...
Dr. Yamada, a human being, was buried under the ruins, thus ending his life of sins.

Chapter 417 The Monster Who Understands Physics
"Another Gakuma has appeared?"
After being shocked a certain number of times, no amount of shock seems to stir up any more waves.
At the very least, when the members of the Victory Team witnessed the appearance of the original Gakuma, they instinctively felt that it was no longer a big deal.
"Is this the third one already?"
"Could this Kurara Island be a monster's lair?"
Instinctively, he chimed in with a comment, saying that this was the first time Shinjo had ever seen monsters appear in such large groups.
Compared to the two demonic birds that appeared in the "Steel Plate Mask Incident," the three Gakuma that have appeared now are more like monsters that have gathered in a group.
"That third monster... can't really be considered a Gakuma anymore, can it?"
Daigo, who had a better understanding and knowledge of monsters, corrected Shinjo's statement at the right time.
If the mutation of Crimson Jakuma can be attributed to Golza's severed tail, then...
Then the first generation of Gakuma, which Lu Xuan transformed into, was already a different species.
The difference between the two is like the difference between a tiger and a saber-toothed tiger; anyone with a little common sense can tell the difference.
More importantly, Daigo saw the unique patterns and holes of the ancient monsters on the first generation Gakuma, as well as the unique "∞" symbol of the Omnitrix.
"The last one to appear, Gakuma, is an ancient monster!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining three immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
In Saki's "Illustrated Compendium of Monsters" compiled for the GUTS team, the differences between the ancient monsters and ordinary monsters are described in detail.
Especially those ancient monsters that have survived from the ancient times to the present, the long period of time has endowed them with powerful qualities far exceeding those of ordinary creatures.
boom! boom! boom!
Just as the GUTS team members were talking, the battle between Red Gakuma and the original Gakuma had officially begun.
The berserk red Gakuma used the same method it had used against humans, intending to crush the other individual of its kind with brute force.
Under normal circumstances, Red Gakuma's judgment is correct; its enormous size gives it a significant advantage.
Unfortunately, the moment they made close contact, Crimson Gakuma realized he had underestimated his opponent.
Despite being more than a head shorter than himself, the first generation of Gakuma possessed explosive power far surpassing his own.
In a simple exchange, the first generation of Gakuma forcefully lifted half of the red Gakuma's body, lifting the monster that was lying on the ground.
"Woo!"
