Chapter 109 The Only Bottom Line
Director Sawai smiled as he watched this extremely unconventional, even dramatic, scene. He had been racking his brains about how to balance the relationship between Yoshioka's hawks, doves, and Kaul, but Kaul, who doesn't play by the rules, had managed to get Yoshioka under his thumb in just a few words.
He even strongly agreed, although he was neither a dove nor a hawk, but as the director, he had to balance everyone to achieve a balance.
"Since even Mr. Kaul believes that armament is a necessary means to defend against unknown threats, then, Yoshioka, let's officially approve the armament modification plan for the Flying Swallow today."
With a smile, Director Sawai made the final decision, "At the same time, on behalf of TPC, I would also like to formally welcome the addition of Consultant Advisor Caul. From today onwards, all authority of the Far East Headquarters will be fully open to Consultant Advisor Caul."
...
After the meeting, accompanied by Megumi Kijima, Kaul took the internal elevator to the top-secret F4 underground hangar on the lowest level of the TPC base.
The area maintains a constant temperature and humidity year-round, and several heavy transport planes are parked in the center of the hangar.
Several giant stone statues hung on the transport plane, gleaming brightly in the hangar.
"Advisor Kaul, the search and rescue team has conducted a comprehensive containment operation within the pyramid that you have awakened," Megumi said, holding a report. "Besides the statue known as Ultraman Tiga disappearing after its revival, we found three other relatively well-preserved giant statues in the ruins, as well as..."
Megumi paused for a moment, looking at Kaul's profile: "And two piles of shattered stone statue remains that cannot be restored at present."
Kaul paused in his steps.
He waved his hand, signaling the staff next to him to turn on the lights, which shone in the center of the hangar.
What came into Kaul's view were three huge stone statues side by side: Camilla, Darram, and Hitler.
These three giants of light, who once shone brightly in the ancient times, sealed their consciousness and turned into stone statues to protect his slumber in the life support pod, where they have stood for thirty million years.
Kaur walked up to Camilla's statue, stretched out his hand, and placed his palm on the cold, grayish-white stone surface.
"You bunch of idiots..."
Kaul's eyes stung slightly as images flashed through his mind: Camilla blushing and handing Tiga a charcoal bento box 30 million years ago; Darram's foolish boasting about moving mountains and filling seas; and Hitler's daily pride in being the fastest.
They kept their promise and stayed here for thirty million years.
Beside these three intact stone statues are two huge sealed containment boxes containing the remains of the Daga statue, which was completely smashed by Golza, as well as the rubble of the golden-haired Gedi, who was also smashed while protecting Daga.
Looking at the pile of rubble, Caul felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart tightly.
"Daga... Gedi..." Kaul took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his surging emotions. "Get a good night's sleep, my friends. You were there to protect me in the first half, and now it's my turn to protect you. One day, I will find a way to make you shine again."
Just as Caul was immersed in grief and determination, a voice that sounded somewhat harsh and filled with morbid fanaticism rang out in the hangar.
"What a perfect sample! This will be the greatest discovery in the history of human technological development!"
A middle-aged man with a mushroom haircut, thick-rimmed glasses, and a white lab coat emerged from behind the testing equipment with a gleaming look in his eyes. He couldn't wait any longer and headed straight for Camilla's statue.
This is an outlier in the TPC Science Bureau: Dr. Tango.
"Captain Megumi, you don't know, if we can thoroughly study these stone statues, even just a tiny bit of the special particles hidden inside, we might be able to mass-produce giants!"
Dr. Dango appeared to be insane, wielding a laser cutter and attempting to cut a specimen directly from the leg of Camilla's statue.
"Stop!" Megumi's expression changed drastically. She was about to step forward to stop them, since the higher-ups had not yet decided who would be in charge of the project.
But there are people who are faster and more violent than her.
Kaul vanished from his spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Dr. Dango.
A hand gripped Dr. Tango's wrist, which was holding the cutting gun.
A very slight sound of bones dislocating rang out. Before Dr. Dango could even react, a sharp pain in his wrist caused him to scream like a pig being slaughtered, and the cutting gun fell to the ground.
"What...what are you doing?! I'm a scientist from TPC! You..."
The Queen's cursing fell silent the moment she met Kaul's eyes.
Kaul's eyes had turned completely red at some point, and even a blue afterimage appeared on them. The temperature in the normally constant-temperature hangar seemed to drop considerably.
"Listen up, you bespectacled guy."
Kaul's voice wasn't loud: "They're not for your research. They're heroes who saved this planet, my comrades-in-arms. They might even be resurrected someday. If your claws dare to get even a centimeter closer to them..."
Kaur lowered his head slightly, smiling as he approached Danhou's face: "I'll stuff you into my Gorbah's mouth so you can thoroughly study Little Rock's oral health. After all, I don't know what the consequences would be if a Gorbah hadn't brushed its teeth for thirty million years, or if it would cause any oral problems."
"If you really want to study them, I'll allow you to study the stone fragments of Daga and Gedi over there. After all, they've been destroyed, and their bodies have been destroyed. Perhaps, with current technology, you can create a completely new body. Don't push my limits, okay, Dr. Dango?"
The moment Kaul released his grip, Dr. Dango's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground. He looked at Kaul in horror, as if he were looking at a demon from hell, and scrambled out of the hangar.
As I watched this scene, although I was disgusted by Dango's behavior, I was still surprised by the imposing aura that Kaul had just unleashed.
"Advisor Kaul, Dr. Tango, he's just..."
"Captain Kei," Kaul said calmly, his back to her, "tell everyone in the Science Bureau that these intact statues cannot be studied, but those that have become ruins can be studied. However, they must be classified as top secret by the TPC. No one may conduct destructive experiments without my permission. This is the only bottom line for me joining the TPC."
Megumi looked at Kaul and nodded: "I understand. I will report to the director personally and arrange the highest level of security."
"Thank you for your help." Kaul nodded, expressing his gratitude to Megumi.
