The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

Within a few breaths, the UFO's exact appearance was captured by a satellite high in the sky.

Surprisingly, the unidentified flying object did not exist in the form of a "flying machine".

It was a colossal beast that seemed to be made entirely of machinery.

Its head shape is similar to that of a Triceratops, giving it a streamlined structure that allows it to break through air resistance.

The high-temperature particle stream ejected from the back acts like a propulsion system.

Most importantly, this mechanical behemoth is clearly a sentient being.

Although this intelligence may be quite primitive, it does have a very clear objective—to break into the headquarters of the Space Development Agency.

Guided by this goal, the mechanical behemoths' actions became increasingly wild.

First, the Space Development Agency headquarters, realizing the danger, used all its connections to launch interceptor missiles toward low Earth orbit.

Then, the internal faction within TPC, after a brief meeting, unanimously decided to activate the previously sealed space-based satellite.

Finally, even the mainstream moderates tacitly accepted the various counterattacks from within TPC when faced with this mechanical behemoth from outer space.

TPC is an organization that advocates and loves peace, but it is not a truly powerless coward.

Peace is achieved through struggle.

Peace sought through compromise will lead to its demise.

As an organization capable of dismantling the Earth Defense Forces without bloodshed and then unifying the world, TPC understands better than anyone the importance of armed forces for peace.

When faced with an unidentified flying object that clearly has ill intentions, surrendering without resistance is not the way of humanity.

Unfortunately, the mechanical behemoth moved much faster than TPC had anticipated.

Whether it's intercepting missiles, space-based satellites, or other newer defensive measures...

When faced with intelligent beings that can nimbly dodge, they often appear clumsy and helpless.

sizzle...

Just when TPC was at its wits' end, Earth's "final defense barrier" was activated.

Accompanied by a surge of electric current visible to the naked eye on the ground, nearly infinite electromagnetic waves rapidly converged.

sizzle...

Like a majestic deity high above, or an all-encompassing sovereign...

Under the convergence of endless currents, a face that had once appeared in the sky above the earth suddenly emerged.

However, compared to the face that almost covered the entire ionosphere before, the face that appeared now was obviously many times smaller.

The only constant is the symbolism and meaning of this face.

He is the collective will of the Lightning People, the embodiment of the will of the sky above Earth.

When He appeared, a vast number of Gazorts also appeared, blocking the mechanical behemoth's path.

boom! boom! boom!

Under the watchful eye of TPC's high-altitude satellite, the mechanical behemoth broke through the encirclement of several Gazorts, but this resulted in the appearance of even more Gazorts.

From a distance, the mechanical monster's massive body was subjected to billions of volts of electricity, and even its steel frame was charred black by the shock.

Just as the mechanical behemoth was about to be destroyed, it suddenly let out a mournful cry that resounded through the sky.

"My homeland... is Earth!"

It wasn't a monster's roar in the conventional sense, but rather a language that humans could understand, and the voice still had that eerie triple intonation.

When this sound travels throughout the ionosphere in the form of electromagnetic waves.

The giant face in the sky seemed to be deep in thought.

Those Gazorts who had previously participated in the siege of the mechanical behemoth all stopped.

sizzle...

The next second, the giant face in the sky began to dissipate, and the Gazorts also transformed back into electromagnetic wave form.

"..."

The TPC executives who witnessed this scene looked at each other in astonishment, and for a moment they didn't know how to express their opinions.

Whether it was the rampage of the mechanical behemoth or the appearance of the Lightning Man to intercept it, both far exceeded the expectations of TPC's top management.

Therefore, when that giant face disappeared, even the top executives of TPC were unsure whether they were relieved or disappointed.

Fortunately, the existence of the Lightning Man is like having another powerful barrier for Earth.

The disappointment lies in the fact that this barrier is not within TPC's control.

They had absolutely no idea under what circumstances the Lightning Man would appear or disappear.

For example, right now, just when they were about to destroy the mechanical behemoth, Lightning Man inexplicably let it go again.

"We...are back..."

It's also unclear why the Lightning Man's will would spare him.

However, the mechanical behemoth, driven only by instinct, didn't care about any of that.

After a brief stop, it flew back towards the headquarters of the Space Development Agency.

Silence—Boom!

This time, the mechanical behemoth that officially entered the atmosphere demonstrated its immense power.

The sonic booms generated by the high-speed flight piled up, creating fierce winds and deafening noise wherever it passed.

Let alone the TPC, which had been notified long ago, even an ordinary person with a pair of binoculars could see the terrifying movement patterns of the mechanical behemoth.

Reckless, barbaric, and direct...

This is everyone's first impression of the mechanical behemoth.

When these mechanical behemoths swept across the city, the enormous commotion they created spread throughout human society at an astonishing speed.

One of the downsides of modern information society was on full display at this moment.

If even one person observes the mechanical behemoth's actions, it's equivalent to half of human society becoming aware of this crisis.

The endless stream of videos and photos simply cannot be completely stopped by official bans.

Especially as the mechanical behemoth drew closer to the Space Development Agency, photos and videos of its low-altitude flight had already spread throughout the entire internet.

However, the official website of the Space Development Agency, another key player in this incident, has unexpectedly remained silent.

Until the mechanical behemoth actually appeared above the headquarters of the Space Development Agency.

The Space Development Agency, disregarding the potential negative consequences, proactively activated its electromagnetic defense system, known as DCS, before suffering a fatal attack.

Chapter 297 Ace Pilot

sizzle...

Almost the instant the DCS system was activated, several cities near the space development zone were instantly paralyzed by power outages.

The powerful electromagnetic interference not only affected people's livelihoods, but also caused serious damage to military equipment stationed nearby.

Fortunately, the Space Development Agency's all-or-nothing gamble did achieve the desired effect.

The electromagnetic waves generated by the DCS system successfully interfered with the mechanical behemoth's movements, causing it to hover blindly above the Space Development Agency, unable to pinpoint its exact location.

At this point, the mechanical behemoth began to show its differences from ordinary creatures.

It does not have vision or hearing in the conventional sense; all its actions are guided by the acoustic radar within its body.

Once strong electromagnetic interference occurs, the acoustic radar inside the device needs a long time to readjust and recalibrate.

This is because the mechanical behemoth possesses a biological-like self-repairing ability, unlike ordinary mechanical creations that would shut down immediately after being hit by an EMP bomb.

Even so, it will probably take the mechanical behemoth a considerable amount of time to completely repair its perception system.

This period of time was sufficient for the Victory Team to react and send out frontline troops.

Silence—Boom!

With a sonic boom unlike any other from the mechanical behemoth, Victory Swallow suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Because this incident has caused such a big stir, and because sufficient information has already been gathered about it.

Therefore, the unit deployed this time was not the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 for reconnaissance purposes, but the Victory Flying Swallow No. 2 equipped with a Texas cannon.

The powerful roar of engines filled the air, and the high-speed whistling sound was incredibly ear-piercing...

It's fortunate that the mechanical behemoth didn't evolve a biological hearing system, otherwise the sound of Victory Swallow II flying at full speed could be heard from more than ten kilometers away.

Even so, when the Victory Flying Swallow II approached within a kilometer of the mechanical behemoth, it still spotted the uninvited guest not far away.

tumultuous!

High-temperature flames erupted from its back immediately.

The mechanical behemoth, which didn't seem to be equipped with many weapon systems, displayed astonishing combat talent at this moment.

With just the high-temperature flames ejected from its back, the mechanical behemoth easily evaded the guided missiles launched by Victory Flying Swallow II.

It even used this high-temperature airflow to interfere with the flight trajectory of Victory Flying Swallow II, forcing it to maintain a relatively safe distance from the mechanical behemoth.

......................................................................................................

Inside the Victory Flying Swallow II, in the pilot's seat.

"No! We can't get close to that monster at all!"

Gripping the remote control stick of the Flying Swallow II tightly, Lina reported the situation to headquarters while whispering a question to Daigo, who was controlling the weapon system behind her.

"So, is there another opportunity to launch the missile?"

When Lina asked him a question, Daigo, who was trying to find an opportunity, shook his head.

"No, we need to get closer to have a chance."

"However, that would be too dangerous and could easily provoke a monster's counterattack."

This wasn't the first time Daigo and Rena had worked together on a mission, but it was undoubtedly the most difficult one.

For Daigo, who was already used to all sorts of extreme maneuvers in Shinjo, Rena's approach seemed too conservative.

"Shut up, don't try to tell me what to do!"

"You just need to handle the weapons; leave the rest to me!"

The highly competitive Lina obviously couldn't accept the outcome of the mission failure, especially since this failure was due to her own lack of driving skills.

"But……"

Just as Daigo was about to say something more, Rena had already risked pushing the control stick and charged towards the mechanical behemoth once again.

This is certainly not just a simple matter of being competitive.

Lina's ability to join the Victory Team means that she no longer has the impulse to put Victory Swallow II in danger because of her competitive spirit.

The reason she chose to charge at the mechanical behemoth at this time was...

It was because the mechanical behemoth, having exhausted its back-firing attack, seemed to have fallen into some kind of stagnation.

As a seasoned pilot, Lina naturally wouldn't let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by, and immediately charged towards the mechanical behemoth at top speed.

"Target locked, launch electromagnetic countermeasures!"

Seeing this, Daigo stopped talking and fired a guided missile at the mechanical behemoth once again.

At the same time, the front of the Victory Flying Swallow II opened wide, and the Texas Cannon, its trump card, was ready.

Noisy!

As an unmistakably mechanical life form, the mechanical behemoth has a natural weakness when facing electromagnetic interference missiles.

Therefore, upon detecting the launch of the guided missile, the mechanical behemoth swooped down at an almost vertical angle, hoping to avoid the range of the electromagnetic interference missile.

To be honest, if there were even a normal pilot inside the mechanical behemoth, this vertical dive would be no different from suicide.

However, the mechanical behemoth was a genuine mechanical life form, and the mere shift in gravity had absolutely no effect on it.
