Chapter 117 Gakuma's Wrath
Kaur put down his comic and stood up from the lounge chair: "Shinjo, did you feel what Daigo felt yesterday? I think this is our initiation ceremony. Everyone will be knocked unconscious and lose their memory once by Iwao."
"Officer Kaul? What are you doing here... I was knocked unconscious and have amnesia... What happened..." Shinjo still couldn't recall his previous memories, probably because he wasn't as resilient as Daigo.
"Damn it... I don't remember anything." Caul sighed in frustration.
"Yes, I remember now! I'm going to defeat Xiaoyan!" Shinjo rallied again, clearly unaware that he had lost his memory in this way.
Meanwhile, Daigo covered his mouth, trying very hard not to laugh out loud. Although he had also lost his memory at the time, he was experiencing this feeling of starting over every day.
So it became a situation where Shinjo kept challenging Koiwa, and kept failing.
"Daigo! Help!" After countless cycles of reincarnation, Shinjo's pitiful cry rang out.
While Daigo and Shinjo were still training, the Kaul PDI suddenly rang.
"Staff Officer Kaul, please have Daigo and Shinjo return to the unit. An emergency has occurred!"
"I see."
Upon hearing the news, Kaul immediately drove back to the headquarters command center with the exhausted Shinjo and Daigo.
Upon entering, they discovered that all members of the Victory Team, except for Shinjo and Daigo, had arrived, and even Staff Officer Nanbara was present. The main screen had begun to show some unusual activity on Kuryo Island.
"Now that Daigo and Shinjo have returned to the team, and Staff Officer Kaul is present, the abnormal phenomenon that occurred on Kura Island is due to the local workers and the photos they took. It appears that when the miners were mining ore, multiple heavy cranes, bulldozers, and even the wooden barracks used for temporary living were turned into stone in an instant."
"Petrochemicals?" The drilling team was analyzing the data. "This phenomenon violates any currently known physical and chemical laws."
"It's Gakuma," Kaul said directly.
"Gakuma?" Shinjo and Daigo, still not quite recovered, were filled with questions.
"Yes, you have their information in your current database. Gakuma is a subterranean monster that feeds on stones and minerals. They are born with the ability to spray light that turns matter into stone, thus creating food when there is no other food."
"However, judging from this, it seems that their area of operation has been threatened and they have run out of food, which is why this situation has occurred."
"So, does that mean they're declaring war on us humans?" At that moment, Director Yoshioka and Director Sawai walked in from outside, but it was Yoshioka who said it.
"No, Chief Yoshioka, Gakuma is a relatively docile monster."
"A docile monster?" Yoshioka scoffed, waving his folding fan. "Chief of Staff Kaul has attacked the mine, turning all that equipment into stone. People paid for all of that. Humanity needs to continue mining that area; it needs stone, not that Gakuma!"
Kaul turned to look at Yoshioka, who had suddenly barged in: "Director Yoshioka, before you talk about this, why don't you use your clever brain to think about how long humans have been mining this place and how much food they have taken from the monsters? Although human development is necessary, they are also creatures of Earth and contributed to the fight against the darkness back then."
"You've taken away Brother Gakuma's food; are you not even allowed to have anger?"
Kaul asked the people present, "In the original series, he wouldn't say anything about being killed, but this time the Gakuma brothers were his subordinates who had fought for humanity, and they couldn't just be killed like that."
"Gakuma...brother?" Izumi heard Kaur say "brother."
"That's right, one with a single horn and one with two horns. The director has asked me to represent TPC to investigate this time."
Director Sawai listened to everyone's words and finally nodded: "The TPC advance investigation team is about to depart by helicopter, so the GUTS team should also prepare to depart with the modified weapon systems, the Flying Swallow No. 1 and No. 2..."
"It's alright, Director. Let the Victory Team members stay at the base and wait for orders," Kaul straightened his clothes. "I'll set off with the advance team. Let me handle the Gakuma matter. After all, Daigo and Shinjo are prone to problems if they go on an attack in their current state."
Daigo and Shinjo exchanged a glance, both filled with gratitude for Kaul's decision. But Shinjo, watching Kaul's retreating figure, stubbornly insisted, "Officer...actually, I think I can still continue piloting the Flying Swallow..."
"New City players, being stubborn isn't a good thing. You should use this time to rest properly." Kaul didn't even turn his head before pushing open the door and walking out.
A few minutes later, at the Jiuliang Island quarry in the southwestern archipelago.
"Staff officer, please take command of the scene." The advance team leader, carrying equipment, and his team members set up a temporary command front.
"You all stay here and calm these workers down. I'll go in by myself." Kaul told everyone to stay here while he went in to talk to the two Gakuma brothers, whose rebellion had been delayed by thirty million years.
"But Advisor, what if a monster appears..."
"The weapons you have now won't do much damage to it, so just stay here."
Kaul took a flashlight and walked into the mine alone. He had sensed the presence of the Gakuma brothers as soon as he arrived at Jiuliang Island.
"Come out, my men! I know you've been waiting for me for a long time and have suffered a lot!" Kaul's voice echoed through the mine, reverberating.
Not long after, a loud noise shook the entire mine, causing small, loose stones to fall from above. Accompanied by special effects, a creature named Gakuma with a fluorescent yellow horn on its head slowly emerged from the cave.
Immediately behind him was Gakuma II, a monster with two horns, both of which let out huge roars.
Xiao Yan was already eager to try it out in the combat device. These guys really wouldn't back down without a fight, and they even dared to talk back to the boss!
It's been 30 million years since I've been beaten, so I've gotten a bit temperamental. Have I forgotten how I was beaten into submission by Kaul back then?
"Have you forgotten your Minister, my lovely members?"
"Have you forgotten that you were beaten into submission by my throwing techniques back then? Or are you blaming me because you were abandoned by humans?"
The two Gakuma, still refusing to yield to the tyranny, cautiously nodded.
Seeing this, Caul understood: "You, I agree with your anger, and I agree with you taking your anger out on me. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you to live alone without any arrangements. I'm very sorry."
"Although this apology is 30 million years late, please forgive me and continue to serve as my members."
