Although the mechanical giant was not Galvin, Lu Xuan was indeed intentionally concealing his domineering and wild fighting style.
But Tiga had at least gone through so many battles with Lu Xuan.
Having already become accustomed to the opponent's fighting rhythm, Tiga didn't need much time to familiarize himself with it and quickly adapted to the mechanical giant's fighting style.
This allowed the mechanical giant, which was originally struggling with insufficient power, to finally continue for a few more minutes.
......................................................................................................
Victory Team Headquarters, Control Room.
Through TPC's monitoring satellites in low Earth orbit, the GUTS team members could clearly see the battle situation on the machine island.
The appearance of Tiga was unexpected, and the formidable fighting power displayed by the mechanical giant was even more astonishing.
Unlike "Project F," which remains top secret to this day.
Since the existence of Machine Island was revealed, all kinds of information and files about the Machine Titan have been made public to the GUTS team.
Therefore, during the few hours that Shinjo and Daigo were on their way to Machine Island, the members of the GUTS team present had already seen these relevant materials and files.
Is this the power of humanity?
Although the mechanical giant was born with the help of the mechanical island.
However, it is undeniable that human technology was the key factor that ultimately led to the birth of the mechanical giants.
Those nearly a thousand technologies and patents covering various fields all demonstrate to the world just how incredible the technology that humankind possesses today is.
Horii, in particular, as a researcher, understood better than anyone what the existence of the mechanical giants meant.
To put it bluntly, this is the starting point for humanity to catch up with, and even surpass, ancient civilizations.
"No, this is not a power that humanity can currently control."
Unlike Horii, Munakata's thoughts were somewhat pessimistic as he watched the mechanical giant and Tiga join forces to deal with the siege of hundreds of Goblin Ogma.
Ultimately, Munakata was the only professional soldier in the GUTS team who rose through the ranks from the bottom.
No one present understood the nature of human violence better than Munakata.
If the TPC cannot balance the demands of all factions in a short period of time, the birth of the mechanical giants will only plunge humanity into civil war once again.
Whoever masters the power of the mechanical giant will become the undisputed leader of human civilization.
"The mechanical giant's strength is indeed somewhat exaggerated!"
Taking a quick glance at the battle unfolding on the big screen, Ye Rui, who was fully engaged in combat with the AI of the mechanical island, muttered something.
"According to the description in the internal database of the Mechanical Island..."
“Each of the mechanical lifeforms currently fighting the mechanical giant possesses strength surpassing that of the giant ‘steel-plate masked man’ from last night.”
"Normally, the mechanical island only consumes its own resources to generate these powerful guardians when it is invaded by external forces."
As Ye Rui spoke, he increased the speed at which he typed on the keyboard.
While Nozue is undoubtedly the youngest and most talented member of the Victory Team, the AI on Machine Island is no pushover either.
The brief battle between the two sides has already spread from the internet into reality.
The first to be affected were Goblin Auguma, who was fighting against Ultraman Tiga and the Mechanical Giant.
To the astonishment of the GUTS team, Goblin Auguma, who was about to launch a sneak attack on Ultraman Tiga, suddenly stopped without warning.
Then, it was like some kind of rapidly spreading plague.
Following that Goblin Oguma, several other Goblin Oguma statues ceased their activity.
"you made it?"
The speaker was not one of the GUTS team members, but Masaki Keigo on the other end of the communicator.
As an accomplice in this invisible battle of offense and defense, Masaki Keigo's words had barely faded when the Machine Island's counterattack arrived as expected.
beep beep...
With a sudden alarm, communications between the GUTS headquarters and GUTS Flying Swallow No. 1 were cut off.
Immediately afterwards, the image on the control room's large screen suddenly went black—meaning that the satellite that was originally monitoring the airspace above the mechanical island had also been hacked.
Most importantly, the team's internal control system also lost control.

Chapter 358 The Infinitely Evolving Mechanical Monster
Leaving aside the internal chaos within the GUTS team, let's turn our attention back to the battlefield on Machine Island.
boom! boom! boom!
After knocking away several Goblin Auguma that were in a daze, Tiga quickly realized the abnormal behavior of these mechanical lifeforms.
[Did Tomoko make her move?]
Through his powerful telekinesis, Daigo's voice appeared directly in Lu Xuan's mind.
Due to the establishment of the Extraterrestrial Alliance, and Daigo and Saki's desire for Lu Xuan to live in peace with humanity...
Sophon had already drastically reduced its activity frequency in human society.
Especially when it involves situations that might expose her, unless Lu Xuan actively requests Zhi Zi to take action, she generally will not choose to show herself and intervene.
[It wasn't Sotoko; it was the GUTS team that hacked into the AI on the machine island.]
With a hint of surprise in his voice, Lu Xuan answered Daigu's question in a deep voice.
However, the situation for the Victory team seems to be a bit precarious...
The AI from the Machine Island has also infiltrated the GUTS headquarters; they're probably too busy dealing with their own problems right now.
While communicating with Daigo, he also took the time to manipulate the mechanical giant to take advantage of the chaos.
Lu Xuan, who was distracted, even had the mind to look up and talk to Karen.
"Karen, can you help the GUTS team re-establish contact with Machine Island?"
Since the Victory Team was able to temporarily paralyze the almost endless Goblin Auguma by hacking into the Machine Island's intelligence.
If the GUTS team can re-establish contact with Machine Island, the subsequent battles will naturally be much easier.
Since Kallen isn't Tomoko, it doesn't matter whether she's exposed or not.
After all, TPC and Masaki Keigo aren't really stupid; they'll definitely discover Karen's presence hidden in the artificial neural network system later.
"It's a little difficult, but not a big problem."
Karen's answer was not unexpected to Lu Xuan.
However, the excitement and curiosity hidden in the other person's words gave Lu Xuan an ominous premonition.
As an artificial intelligence that is virtually invincible at the network and data levels, apart from Sophon.
Karen clearly harbored a strong curiosity about Nori, who was able to infiltrate the AI on the machine island and hold his own against it in several encounters.
"Don't do unnecessary things."
Faced with Lu Xuan's warning, Karen didn't know whether she listened or not.
Anyway, she readily joined the battle at the network level, and together with Nori of the Victory Team, began to besiege the AI on the Machine Island.
sizzle...
In an instant, more Goblin Augumas became paralyzed and crashed at a visible speed.
......................................................................................................
Rumble…
On the main battlefield, there are Ultraman Tiga and the Mechanical Giant; on the network battlefield, there are Nori, Masaki Keigo, and Kallen.
Under the relentless onslaught of powerful enemies, the intelligence of the mechanical island finally could not hold back and forcibly activated the island's defense system.
Boom!
It's like a giant Rubik's Cube that's deforming, or a lump of clay that's being kneaded at will.
The mechanical island, which had been floating in the Atlantic Ocean, slowly rose into the air and began to change and reorganize, attempting to evolve into a more intimidating form.
"Boom!"
In a very short period of time, the changes to the mechanical island have already begun to show results.
It was a mechanical monster, its size measured in kilometers, that seemed completely unlike anything that could have evolved in Earth's ecosystem.
This mechanical monster is like a giant tortoise that can float in the sky, its entire body covered in special armor structures that are constantly changing and evolving.
However, unlike most turtles...
This mechanical monster does not have limbs and a head in the conventional sense; instead, it has hundreds of mechanical tentacles that resemble sideburns.
Each of the mechanical monster's tentacles was tens of meters long, no less than Goblin Auguma's.
If you look closely, you'll find that at the ends of these mechanical tentacles, there are also hideous mechanical faces that appear and disappear, creating a strange sense of terror.
"Boom!"
Just as everyone was marveling at the dramatic changes on the mechanical island, a familiar voice echoed across the sky once again.
Before everyone could react, a huge gap suddenly opened up in the center of the mechanical island.
The sharp gears spun rapidly along the edge of the notch, like a gluttonous maw that devours everything.
"what!"
Caught completely off guard, Tiga and the mechanical giant simultaneously plunged into the massive chasm, leaving only the lingering echo of their battle roar.
However, this is not the end.
After swallowing the two powerful enemies, the huge gap in the center of the mechanical island began to spin wildly, and the sharp gears at the edges converged and closed towards the center like scythes.
In less than the blink of an eye, the huge gap had disappeared.
Apart from the still-echoing sound of sawing teeth grinding in the air, everything seemed as if nothing had happened.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the mechanical monster exhibited another very obvious characteristic.
That is, even with the support of artificial neural networks, mechanical monsters still need to follow the most basic physical laws.
Therefore, despite the fact that the artificial neural network had generated hundreds of auxiliary brains within the mechanical monster to control its body, its massive body still appeared quite sluggish.
Fortunately, Goblin Auguma played his part at this crucial moment.
After excluding those individuals paralyzed by the invasion, the remaining Goblin Augumas became "cyborgs" for the mechanical monsters, helping them maintain normal bodily functions.
buzzing...
The first thing to start operating was the mechanical tentacles with their hideous faces on the mechanical monster's body.
Like squid tentacles, the constantly changing and reorganizing mechanical tentacles suddenly spewed flames, driving the mechanical monster into action.
Silence—Boom!
Like a giant frisbee slicing through the sky, the mechanical monster's body suddenly spun and flew out.
Wherever it passed, sonic booms shook the heavens and the ocean churned. Countless marine creatures were stunned by the shockwave and floated to the surface, their bellies turned white.
Some unfortunate marine creatures, simply because they appeared in the path of the mechanical monster's flight, were directly crushed into a pool of blood and dust.
The high-speed spinning flying mechanical monster is ten thousand times more terrifying than any known weapon.
Even if it merely flies lightly over the city, this mechanical monster could easily raze the city to the ground.
The mythical feats of moving mountains and overturning seas, capturing stars and seizing the moon, are nothing more than this.
Fortunately, the mechanical monsters were not interested in Victory Swallow No. 1 and the nearby evacuees, otherwise none of them would have survived.
As for the true target of this mechanical monster?
It's obvious without even thinking that it must be the GUTS headquarters in Japan.
