The backup video was very short, and it was over in no time.
But it was a huge shock to everyone in the Victory Team.
They had never imagined that such a monster existed in the world.
Its true form was a luminous energy body devoid of any emotions or true life, yet it fed on the fear of living beings.
It had not only merged with the Gipta Three spaceship, transforming it into a monster, but it had also taken control of all the knowledge possessed by Dr. Egasaki and the other two scientists on board the Gipta Three.
After the video ended, the entire command room fell silent.
After a long while.
Lina, the only female member of the team, couldn't help but ask.
“If Dr. Egasaki and the other two have been assimilated by the monster and become part of it.”
“Then will they be able to recover after we defeat the monster?”
Unfortunately.
No one in the room could answer her question, despite the hopeful look in her eyes.
Not even Daigo, the human form of Ultraman Tiga, could answer.
Captain Jun Kaido bit her lip, feeling equally perplexed.
After a moment of thought, she took out her phone and dialed Su Yu.
“I'll call Su Yu!”
“Maybe he has a way to rescue Dr. Egasaki and the others.”
The mention of Su Yu, who possessed knowledge of the three million years old ancient civilization, immediately sparked a glimmer of hope in the eyes of Lina, Daigo, and the others.
“That's right, Mr. Su Yu must have a way!”
Soon, Su Yu answered the call from Captain Jun Kaido.
Su Yu: “Hello, Sister, what’s the matter?”
Captain Jun Kaido didn't beat around the bush, simply telling Su Yu the whole story and asking for his help.
“Su Yu, we in the Victory Team want to know, is there any way.”
“That allows us to achieve the goal of destroying the monster, while also ensuring the safe rescue of Dr. Egasaki and the others.”
As she asked this question, Captain Jun Kaido had little confidence in her heart.
Even though she knew her younger brother Su Yu possessed a more powerful light source, who could truly claim to fully understand such an unknown situation?
After all.
As the captain of the Victory Team, if there was no other choice, she had to prioritize the destruction of the monster as her top priority.
But at that point, it would mean that the Victory Team would have to kill Dr. Egasaki and the other two with their own hands.
Captain Jun Kaido was indeed reluctant to give such an order, but as the captain of the Victory Team, she had no other choice.
Fortunately.
Su Yu’s reply from the other end of the line made Captain Jun Kaido feel a little relieved deep down.
“Want to save Dr. Egasaki and the others?”
“About that, first we need to confirm one thing, that the monster hasn’t completely digested Dr. Egasaki and the others.”
Captain Jun Kaido frowned in confusion, “Digest? What does that mean?”
“Haven't Dr. Egasaki and the others been assimilated together with the Gipta Three?”
Su Yu: “That's true, but it was only their physical bodies that were assimilated at that time.
“Compared to the fragility of the body, the human will, spirit, and soul are the strongest yet most willful things, difficult to be completely digested by that monster.”
“In simple terms, as long as Dr. Egasaki and the others’ spirits are still not completely assimilated by the monster.”
“Then, with the power of the Ultramans, it might be possible to rescue Dr. Egasaki and the others.”
Hearing that.
The expression on Captain Jun Kaido's face shifted from joy to a hesitant one as she asked.
“Then how do we know if Dr. Egasaki and the others haven’t been completely assimilated by the monster?”
Su Yu: “You don’t need to do anything for now, just keep waiting.”
“Before the monster appears again, as long as Dr. Egasaki and the others still retain a sliver of self-awareness, they might use the monster’s energy to act!”
“By then, everything will become clear.”
“Oh, and let me remind you of one more thing.”
“If Dr. Egasaki and the others’ self-awareness haven’t been completely assimilated, then it might be a lot easier for the Victory Team to deal with this monster.”
After explaining everything, Su Yu hung up the call.
And on the Victory Team’s side, they also snapped out of their daze.
Lina still looked puzzled as she said, “According to what Mr. Su Yu just said.”
“Can Dr. Egasaki and the others really use this monster’s energy to take action?”
Horii nodded and answered loudly.
“It’s not impossible.”
“After all, this mechanical monster only has the instinct to eat, to absorb energy, and its other conscious abilities aren’t that strong.”
“If it’s really as Mr. Su Yu said, that Dr. Egasaki and the others’ spirits still exist within the monster, then it’s entirely possible for them to use the monster’s energy to take action.”
“But it’s hard for us to guess what actions Dr. Egasaki and the others will take.”
Daigo, who was known for his kind-hearted and sentimental nature, guessed.
“Maybe they’ll go see their families.”
“After all, as long as the monster isn’t destroyed, Dr. Egasaki and the others’ spirits will become weaker and weaker, until they are completely assimilated by the monster in the end.”
“So, they should use this last chance to go see their families.”
Hearing that.
Captain Jun Kaido’s expression changed slightly, thinking that what Daigo said made sense.
“If that’s the case, then everyone can try to pay attention to the families of the Gipta Three crew members and see if they notice anything unusual.”
……………
At home.
Carmilla watched Su Yu hang up the phone with Captain Jun Kaido, her stunningly beautiful face full of confusion.
“With your strength, you should be able to easily defeat that mechanical monster, right?”
“Why are you bothering to help those ordinary people with all this complicated planning?”
