Chapter 147 Stealing the Light Stick
Kaul kept his eyes closed and didn't say anything.
Just last night, on Halloween, he actually had a premonition, which is why he didn't stop Masaki Keigo just now.
"Go, Daigo," Kaul sighed wearily. "I'll have Nori send you the address, but this time, Daigo, I won't help you."
"You must face him yourself, defeat him, and use your own will to tell the magic wand and the giant in the collapsed pyramid who you really are."
Inside the underground laboratory of the magnificent Sedik Technology Building in Kumamoto City.
Masaki Keigo had changed into a blue suit and was standing below the light gene particle converter, tossing Daigo's light stick in his hand.
"You actually dare to come here, Daigo Madoka?"
Masaki Keigo didn't even raise his head; his voice echoed in the hall, carrying a uniquely superior air about him.
Daigo was pushed and shoved by the security guards as he walked in.
He was still wearing his somewhat tattered GUTS uniform, and his face had several scratches. Compared to the elegantly dressed Masaki Keigo, he seemed to belong to a completely different world.
Daigo stared at the Spark Lens in the other's hand: "Masaki Keigo, give it back to me. It doesn't belong to you."
"Not mine? Hahahaha!" Masaki Keigo laughed, stopping what he was doing and pointing at Daigo with a hint of disdain.
"So you think it's only reasonable for this power, capable of annihilating those extradimensional trash and saving all humanity from its dire straits, to belong to someone as mediocre as you, who would be kidnapped and have his power drained even when facing a Giranbo?"
Masaki Keigo walked down the steps one by one, pointing the Spark Lens in his hand at Daigo's chest.
"The light of the giants is meant to guide humanity toward evolution in this age of ever-resurrecting monsters, but you only think about being a passive bodyguard who only scrambles to fight back when a crisis comes."
"This is not my duty! I do not want to become a god! I am just a human being! I want to protect the people I love and humanity!" Daigo roared.
"That's just your excuse for being mediocre, because I can do much more!"
Masaki Keigo's eyes turned cold. He moved so fast that Daigo couldn't react at all, and arrived next to Daigo, delivering a right punch to Daigo's face.
"Ugh!" Daigo didn't even see the other person's movements before he was sent flying and rolled several times on the ground.
"Daigo!" Shinjo and Rena, who had been waiting outside, rushed in with a Hyper.
"Don't shoot!" Daigo gritted his teeth, covered his face with his hands, and stood up to stop his teammates' mindless actions.
He looked down at Masaki Keigo, who was staring down at him, and knew that if he were to forcefully open fire now, it would not only be against the rules, but would also anger this arrogant genius and cause even greater chaos in Kumamoto City, which would be of no use.
"Take it, Masaki Keigo, but remember, when you use light to do evil and to proclaim your power, the light will abandon you in the very first moment."
After saying this, Daigo clutched his chest and limped out of the laboratory. His figure looked somewhat lonely in the sunlight.
"Abandon me? Hmph, foolish humans..." Masaki Keigo put the Spark Lens into his pocket, completely ignoring Daigo's words before he left. After all, he only wanted to lead all of humanity to become giants; what evil intentions did he have, and incidentally become a god as well?
at the same time.
In Tokyo, which is far from Kumamoto City.
The atmosphere in the conference room at TPC headquarters wasn't much better than it was at Daigo's place.
Director Sawai, Chief Yoshioka, and Staff Officer Nanbara were all staring intently at their computer screens.
Just now, Masaki Keigo sent a message to all of humanity through his personal broadcasting system, announcing that Daga would take full control of all monster disasters on Earth.
On the map, tens of thousands of civilians have already joined the "Daga Salvation Society" established by Masaki Keigo and begun to worship Daga. The fanatical atmosphere has even begun to spread to the TPC.
After all, they belong to the front line of basic operations.
"Sawai, look at this! This is the result of letting that alien go and going to study the Titans!" Director Yoshioka was so angry that he almost slammed his folding fan on the table.
"While we don't know the history of the past thirty million years, one thing he's right about is that some malicious individuals did indeed want to use the power of giants to achieve personal rule!"
"Director Yoshioka, although Masaki Keigo is somewhat arrogant, he has indeed defeated the monsters and helped humanity." Staff Officer Nanbara was not so pessimistic.
"Help? That's not help, that's establishing his authority!"
Captain Megumi was somewhat troubled. The most crucial thing was that Daigo's Spark Lens had been taken away, and Daigo himself was now suffering a serious setback.
If it weren't for Staff Officer Caul's constant presence at the base, the Victory Team would be completely at a loss in the current situation.
The door opened, and Kaur walked in, looking somewhat displeased.
Because, just now, he was woken up in his dream by that somewhat familiar yet somewhat awkward guy.
It is Daga.
"Karl, don't worry about it, let him try his own path..."

That was a dream that Daga's remaining consciousness sent to Kaul. Daga said at that time that if Daigo couldn't even pass this test, then he wouldn't deserve to be called Tiga's successor. He also wanted to see how high Masaki Keigo, the human he had chosen, could go in this era.
"Officer, you've arrived. What's our situation with Daga now?" Captain Megumi wanted to ask Kaul for his opinion.
"Don't worry about him, let him show off. As long as he doesn't destroy the city or attack civilians, let him do what he wants. It just so happens that our Victory Team and TPC will be cooperating with his operations these days to help him deal with the monsters." Kaul said, giving everyone a shocking opinion.
Even Yoshioka thought he had misheard.
"Chief of Staff Kaul, are you saying we're entrusting the safety of the Earth to him alone?!"
"Of course, wouldn't it be a waste not to use thugs who don't get paid?" Caul said with a smile.
"Moreover, I bet it won't be long before he gets caught in his own trap because of his arrogant personality. When Daigo regains his power, he will understand even better what true protection means."
Kaul added in his mind, "This is also to hone our future Daigo-kun..."
Hearing Kaul say that, Director Sawai nodded in agreement. After all, since the TPC currently lacks firearms to restrain the Titans, following Masaki Keigo's wishes from the very beginning to avoid internal strife was the wisest choice.
Even if they can't find a final solution, they might have to try that experimental thing.
"Without relying on Kaul's power, since the advisors have made this arrangement, the GUTS team and TPC will cooperate with Daga's plans, and Nori will begin monitoring the galaxy to prevent the arrival of other aliens."
"clear!"
