Chapter 613 Earth is about to be destroyed yet again.
The following day, at the headquarters of the Ultraman Tiga Salvation Cult of Light.
Rather than a sect headquarters, this place is more like a wonderful place that combines a high-tech command center with a warm community activity center.
All of this is thanks to Hikari's research; even a small part of his scientific findings is enough to shock the world.
Inside the cult, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlook bustling Tokyo, while the interior presents a scene of orderly busy activity. In the most prominent central position is a massive light screen that almost occupies the entire wall, displaying a world map as a background and scrolling various information in real time.
[Abnormal Phenomenon Comments Section] "The water quality in Osaka Bay is abnormal, suspected to be due to an energy reaction."
"Children in the Kyushu region claim to have seen flying monsters," with a blurry photo attached. [The flying monster information has been crossed out; I just verified it via facial recognition, and it was Mr. Obik flying in the sky.]
This area is about 30 to 40 meters high, and it's the top of the tree.
=====
This information comes from "fellow believers" all over the world, ranging from elderly people with gray hair to children carrying schoolbags. Since the founding of Lin Yu's sect, this nationwide early warning system has been far more efficient than TPC's intelligence network.
Lin Yu was nestled in an overly comfortable sofa, holding a steaming cup of tea, looking at the information and trying to filter out any traces that might actually indicate the existence of monsters.
As for aliens?
There's a fraudulent company called the "Cosmic Invasion Alliance."
Let these invaders experience what it's like to be part of a spy game. After all, who told these aliens to have nothing better to do than think about invading Earth?
He temporarily shelved his plans to travel to the Belial Galactic Empire timeline.
It wasn't that he was being lazy; rather, as a responsible adult, he felt it was necessary to make proper arrangements for things on Earth before leaving.
With Taro and Hikari, two top-tier fighters, gone, Earth's defenses have become noticeably weak. As the "Guardian of Earth," he can't just pack up and leave, leaving behind a mess.
Just as he was thinking about how to "work" more efficiently, a gentle figure walked over.
"Lin Yu, you're back just in time. Get to work!"
Maya held a tablet computer, a hint of worry in her eyes, and pointed to a red message that had just been refreshed on the message board.
"A mountaineering team has gone missing in the Iiyama mountain range for more than 24 hours. The TPC rescue team's helicopter cannot get close due to the abnormal magnetic field in the mountains."
Lin Yu shifted his gaze from the wisps of white steam rising from the teacup to the message.
The Iiyama mountain range? The entire team has vanished?
He frowned almost imperceptibly.
Going missing is much more troublesome than being eaten by a monster. The former implies the unknown, and the unknown is often more troublesome than simple destruction.
"Okay, I'll handle it later," he replied.
However, troubles seem to tend to come in clusters.
His personal communicator vibrated slightly in his pocket. He took it out and saw it was a call request from Daigo.
Once the connection was established, Daigo's righteous face appeared on the screen, with the TPC command room in the background, creating a somewhat somber atmosphere.
"Mr. Lin Yu, something's happened in Antarctica!"
Daigo's tone was urgent. "The research team from the Biotechnology Department discovered signs of living life in the ice. As a result, after the study, the oxygen concentration throughout the research station dropped sharply, and several researchers were rushed to the hospital due to acute hypoxia!"
Lin Yu scratched his head.
Antarctica, life forms, oxygen poisoning?
You TPC guys really know how to dig; you can dig up anything.
Last time it was the new city that woke up Gomora II. Could it be that some ancient plant monster has awakened this time and is preparing to use photosynthesis to turn the earth back to the Carboniferous period?
Just as he was about to complain, an emergency communication suddenly appeared on the main screen in the command center, with Director Sawai's serious face filling the entire screen.
"Attention all personnel, this is the highest command post. Delta Space Station has just received a top-level alert: a comet named 'Comet Oshima' has deviated from its original orbit and is hurtling towards Earth at a speed of 100,000 kilometers per hour! It is expected to enter the atmosphere in 72 hours!"
The scene shifts to footage taken by the space station. Against the dark backdrop of space, a massive comet burning with eerie green flames, like an arrow aimed directly at a bullseye, clearly locks onto the blue planet.
Simulated animations show that once the impact occurs, the resulting tsunami will submerge 90 percent of the Earth's landmass.
"—"
Lin Yu was completely numb.
Is Earth going to be destroyed again?
A mountaineering team went missing, a "major oxygen-consuming" site was discovered in Antarctica, and now a doomsday comet has arrived.
He had only opened his eyes less than an hour ago!
Is Earth's daily life just a constant teetering on the brink of destruction? Is this planet's difficulty setting set to "hell" mode by default? I just wanted a peaceful weekend!
He felt a throbbing sensation in his temples.
Just as the entire command center fell into a deathly silence due to the series of bad news, a lazy yet slightly teasing female voice sounded behind him.
Here, your tea.
Camilla walked over unnoticed and placed a freshly poured cup of hot tea on the coffee table beside him. She glanced at the apocalyptic scene on the screen and a beautiful smile curved her lips.
"Welcome back to Earth. Isn't this the norm here? It's still alright now, thanks to the Wangchuan Shrine built by TPC, which absorbed a lot of negative energy. Otherwise, the monster alarms would probably be going off everywhere by now."
心−
She gracefully tossed a strand of her silver hair aside, then turned her gaze to Lin Yu, her alluring eyes holding an undeniable authority.
"Let the scientists at TPC worry about the comet. I'll go check on the disappearance of the Iiyama Reiken."
She paused, then changed the subject, "As for you, don't just sit here idly, get moving!"
"Last night, a monster appeared on the shipping route in the Western Pacific. A 100,000-ton oil tanker was capsized, causing a massive oil spill and leaving many crew members missing and their fate unknown. This is something that needs your help."
Lin Yu picked up his teacup and sighed deeply: "Is it like this every day?"
"That's why your sect has grown so fast."
Camilla said matter-of-factly, glancing around the efficiently functioning headquarters. "You see, everyone is working hard to make the world a better place. Wherever there's a disaster, we're there, doing everything we can to minimize the damage."
Her voice softened, carrying a hint of encouragement.
"Alright, stop reminiscing."
"Get to work now."
Lin Yu: "???"
They've reversed the Heavenly Gang.
How could someone like me, a capitalist, be urged to go to work one day? Is there no justice in this world?
