Sage Sigma has been studying the secrets of the Giant of Light.

This is different from Keigo Masaki's approach of wanting humans to use transformers to transform into light particles and become Ultraman.

What Sage Sigma values is the operating mechanism and profound principles behind the Giant of Light.

Apples don't fall from trees for no reason.

There are complex rules hidden behind everything that seems normal.

Anything that we take for granted has a complex and difficult to understand operating mechanism, which is why it appears in front of people in that way.

People's kindness and justice will not be effectively transformed into power.

Otherwise human society would not be filled with so much suffering.

The power of the Giant of Light comes from the strong emotions of the human body and people's identification with it.

In essence, it is still inseparable from the subspace.

No one knows what happened in the distant past that caused a powerful civilization capable of creating Ultraman to disappear into thin air, never to appear again.

We can only deduce from some limited clues that they must have met with misfortune and were utterly destroyed in their fight against the terrible enemy Chaos.

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

In the distant, unimaginable past.

If you want to specify the number of years, there is no way to calculate it.

In the universe where the flow of time is not synchronized, it is not rigorous to use years and months to talk about something.

In that past era, many races tried to fight against Chaos using various methods.

The Old Ones created the Webway.

The Watchers stayed in the Stone Fortress, waiting for the moment of fate.

The ancient civilization of this universe created the special group of Ultraman to fight against chaos.

They built a special mechanism, and when chaos invaded, the evil forces from chaos would manifest as monsters.

Real creatures can gain recognition and the power of light through their inner purity and kindness.

The earth, the sky, the ocean, the past, the future and so on.

These concepts all have something special attached to them.

It can give power to those who are chosen, allowing them to become Ultraman, fight against those monsters, and maintain peace in the universe.

Keigo Masaki and many hawkish figures, Chief of Staff Gondo, Yoshioka, He Zhi, etc., all hope that humans can master the power of Ultraman.

Let Ultraman become a weapon for humans to fight against monsters.

Naturally, Sage Sigmar would not share the same idea as these small, ant-like indigenous characters.

If that were the case, wouldn't it make him look like he was on the same level as those natives who didn't even know about the other universe

He studies the Giants of Light and how to materialize emotional energy, while integrating this technology with other technologies.

In Universe 02, where Sanguinius currently resides, there is a special group of enemies.

Those enemies were called Lanterns by the local natives.

Lantern possesses a special technology - the emotional spectrum.

They use the emotional spectrum to transform emotions into usable energy.

This technology was used to make lanterns, which were then used to make lantern rings.

The Lanterns then use the lantern rings to materialize their imaginations and create various weapons to fight the enemies.

This is an extremely buggy ability.

If their technology had not been castrated, they would have been able to dominate the universe with just such means.

Be able to visualize everything that is in your mind.

If the power is sufficient, it can even create a magnificent imperial fleet out of thin air.

Create things as you wish.

Such ability can be called that of a creator-level existence.

Of course, those Lanterns did not become creators because of this.

Their technology is castrated and can only materialize some weapons at most.

It is already amazing for a Lantern to create an energy weapon with a complex structure and exquisite design out of thin air.

Most Lanterns use simple swords or something.

Anything that is too complicated will also be a heavy test of their imagination and knowledge level.

Due to various limitations, the Lantern, who possesses such BUG abilities, is very weak.

Their lantern rings were of little use in the battle.

The weapons and barriers created can easily be negated by the concept modification function of the Heart of the Empire organ unique to the Primaris warriors.

Or the Imperial forces used various devices to seal off the subspace, so that when they materialized, they expended more energy but gained weaker results.

The Lanterns usually end up being either massacred or captured and executed.

The Lantern Corps in every parallel universe of Universe 02 is similar to those superheroes and will be directly wiped out by the Empire to weaken the local resistance to the Empire.

In the process of wiping out the Lantern Corps, the Empire's research on the Lanterns and the emotional spectrum became more and more in-depth.

He even understands the power of the lantern rings in their hands better than the Lantern Knights.

Sage Sigma used his power and status to obtain research data on the emotional spectrum and the lantern ring from the Empire's knowledge database. He then combined it with the giant of light unique to this world to develop a new technology.

As the Empire's cross-universe war begins, the Empire's enemies become increasingly powerful.

Many enemies possess extraordinary powers, and it is not uncommon for even gods to take action themselves.

These guys, combined with the unique rules of their universe, are very troublesome for the Empire.

Even the powerful imperial forces had to pay heavy casualties before they could achieve victory.

Under such circumstances, the speed of conquering a universe would be greatly slowed down.

In order to maintain the Empire's military superiority, the Mechanicus has been trying to research and develop more powerful weapons of war.

Titan is one of those important areas.

On the eve of the Battle of Vigilante, the Sage of Rigula improved the Titans using advanced technology.

By combining the Titan and the fighter plane into one, the first Thunderbird fighter Titan that combines aerial bombing and ground combat was created.

Greatly expanded the scope of the Imperial War, allowing Imperial forces to gain a war advantage over the Chaos Traitors.

Since then, various sages have used this idea to make many improvements.

This makes the Titan a versatile war vehicle that can be released from low-Earth orbit or even the void, rushing directly towards the enemy's fleet or the surface of the planet to destroy the opponent directly.

No matter how the Mechanicus or Imperial researchers improve it, the troops will need to carry large and complex Titan bodies to the battlefield.

Today's Titans generally use strong interaction materials or high-density materials as protective layers.

The structure is becoming more and more complex and precise, and the mass is getting larger and larger.

A transport ship is needed to be transported to the designated area before combat can begin.

The technology that Sigmar Sage is now launching will bring about a revolutionary change in Imperial Titans, Imperial Knights, and even fighter aircraft operations.

It combines materialization technology, technology that transforms virtual light into entity, dimensional technology, dimensional space technology and many other fields.

Turn fighter planes, Titans, knight mechas, etc. into light, and then put them into the imperial emblem similar to the magic wand.

Combined with the national system that the empire has recently been promoting.

As long as the imperial citizen has the professional skills that match the preset badge, he can summon the war vehicle in the badge.

Make the Empire's troops more efficient.

And today is the time to test the research results.

At the request of Sage Regula, all the Titan captains grasped the double-headed eagle emblem hanging on their chests.

As they touched, the golden badge released a strong light.

A glowing interface appeared in front of these Titan captains.

Sensing the need to summon an Imperial Titan

The request is being processed.

Jonah is also one of the Titan captains.

He was born in the dawning age after the awakening of the Holy Emperor.

This is an era where everything needs to be rebuilt.

Under the guidance of the Holy Emperor, mankind has broken free from the long era of ignorance, re-embraced science and rationality, and is striding towards the future.

Just like the dawn that breaks through the darkness, everything is full of vitality and hope.

Jonah studied Titan driving techniques at the Imperial Academy, and after graduation he became a member of a group called the Knights of the Emperor's Light.

The Knights drive small mechas smaller than Titans and are responsible for breakthrough missions on small battlefields.

They often have to take on the task of street fighting, provide fire support for other ground forces, and help eliminate heavy firepower units.

Jonah made many achievements in battle and was eventually chosen as a Titan mecha pilot.

At that time, the Empire no longer used the old-style Titans that required crew members to maintain them. Instead, they operated the Titans alone or with three people working together, without crew members.

The Empire's old-style Titans often require a crew of dozens of people to maintain the energy stack, the cockpit, and even provide security to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

When problems arise on the battlefield, the crew works non-stop to repair them and ensure that the Titan can continue to work smoothly.

Although it is powerful, it is also very cumbersome.

After several improvements and changes in the Empire's war philosophy, Titan maintenance was put on the back burner.

When going to the battlefield, the driver is often the only one going into battle alone.

Temporary maintenance work is left to micro robots, which is enough to support until the end of the war.

The Titan that Jonah had previously collaborated with another pilot to control was a new type of amphibious Titan that could fight in the void, in the atmosphere, and on the surface.

It has three forms that can be switched at will to adapt to various types of battlefields.

Immersive neural manipulation will have some effects on the human brain.

Especially during long-term battles.

The driver will have the illusion that he is a Titan rather than a human.

For long-term combat lasting more than six hours, two or three pilots are generally chosen to share the impact of the combat.

The Empire is able to use brainwave fusion technology to merge the brainwaves of several people together, allowing them to form a completely new mind to control the mecha.

Such behavior has attracted the attention of many philosophers.

Is the thought that is merged by several people the soul of the Titan

Of course, such debates usually have no answer.

The double-headed eagle mark in Jonah's hand released countless beams of light, which weaved into a giant, 70-meter-high Titan in just a few seconds.

His entire body turned into light and merged into one with the huge Titan.

There is no traditional control room.

At this moment, he truly completed the human-machine integrated driving concept.

A vast amount of information and data flooded into his mind.

Telemetry information, weapon readiness, fuel levels, and millions of other bits and pieces.

Every sensor became his eyes.

The rumbling energy pile became his heart, and endless power surged out from his chest and flowed to his limbs along the energy channels.

He tried to clench his fists, and the mechanical metal palms moved according to his thoughts and clenched tightly together.

A powerful punch was thrown, and the air became heavy, with a heavy sound like that of a mountain collapsing.

White air currents rolled in the air as he moved.

Seeing this scene, Sage Sigma smiled smugly.

The widespread existence of summoning technology will reduce the dependence of war on logistical support.

Titan drivers can also prepare one or two backup Titans. If one is damaged, they can immediately summon another one.

The broken one was left there, waiting for the logistics team to retrieve it.

It may be difficult to promote it.

After all, these technologies are not cheap.

It will take a long time to bring the costs down.

Ultraman can do this so easily because the ancient civilization that created it had already done the preliminary work.

Of course, although this technology is expensive, it also has unimaginable benefits.

If you encounter an enemy that you must destroy at all costs, summoning technology will come in handy.

When the empire's technological level and productivity are further improved, summoning technology will shine.

Jonah then controlled the Titan to test other functions.

He tried to lift the Titan's left arm.

The heavy mechanical arm was lifted up at his will.

As he thought about it, a ball of bright light appeared in the palm of his hand.

The reminder that the weapon system has been activated appears in my mind.

The next second, he closed the weapon again.

Shield on, Shield off.

jump.

flight.

Fold.

Running at high speed.

Slide.

Draw your weapon.

Every movement is smooth and flowing, as if he is controlling his own body.

Jonah raised the huge mechanical hand to the position of his head, and clenched and opened it like a human fist.

Do whatever you want, there are no obstacles.

"A true divine machine."

Jonah couldn't imagine the destructive power these Titans would have when they were thrown into the battlefield.

From now on, the so-called gods and demons are nothing more than ants in front of the huge war machine of the empire.

... .

... ... ... ..

TPC headquarters.

The strategy room of the Victory Team.

"According to the discussion at the TPC executive meeting and the requests of representatives from various countries, the Victory Team has been asked to disband, and the members need to return to their original departments as soon as possible."

A man holding documents announced shocking news to the members of the Victory Team.

They had just seen Director Sawai and were thinking of investigating when they got back to find out why Captain Iruma Kei did such a thing.

But unexpectedly, before they could investigate.

Then I received the news of disbanding.

"The Victory Team has been disbanded. What if the monsters continue to appear?" Zongfang grabbed the man and asked.

The man explained: "Some high-level officials mentioned this at the meeting. They plan to hand over the task of fighting the monsters to the Imperial Defense Force formed by Keigo Masaki. They have enough Ultramen to deal with the monsters. If we hand it over to them, it will greatly reduce casualties."

"Not just the Victory Team. Currently, all special operations teams around the world that were originally formed to fight monsters will be cancelled. As for the special operations teams in other colonies, it will take some time to communicate, but cancellation is already a certainty. The monster invasion of Magic City caused the deaths of more than 30,000 residents, more than 100,000 injured, and millions of people almost became refugees. The property losses caused amounted to trillions."

Zongfang originally wanted to find the top management to refute their decision to disband the Victory Team.

The reasons given by the man left him powerless to refute.

The Victory Team does have a lot of achievements in fighting monsters.

But these are not reasons to keep the Victory Team.

The top management will not squander huge amounts of money just for the dreams and emotions of a group of people.

The Victory Team's mission has come to an end.

Horii, Shinjo, Nori, Lina and others all looked confused.

Director Sawai was arrested, Captain Iruma Kei became indifferent, and the Victory Team is now facing disbandment.

In just a short period of time, this world felt very unfamiliar to them.

Everyone showed a sad look.

At this time, Ye Rui suddenly stood up.

"Perhaps, we still have one last way to change all this."

"Forget it, Nori. The Victory Team is going to be disbanded. What else can we do?" Zongfang shook his head. "I know you are sad. But this is the request of the TPC executives and representatives of various countries. The disbandment of the Victory Team is inevitable."

Ye Rui ran to the computer console.

All the required information was retrieved in a short while.

"The TPC and other countries' top leaders have requested the disbanding of the Victory Team. This must be due to the Empire's request. They don't want any opposition. Don't forget that we live under the protection of the Kingdom of Light."

After humans entered the industrialized society and were able to communicate globally, the Bermuda monster appeared in people's vision.

The first Ultraman also appeared in people's vision.

That Ultraman did not leave his name, people only knew that he was Ultraman from the Land of Light.

After that, every few years there would be an Ultraman from the Land of Light.

They came to Earth to help humans defeat monsters and fight against aliens, giving humans precious time for development.

As people gradually came into contact with the country, they came to know the order of the Kingdom of Light.

Ultraman from the Land of Light maintains peace throughout the universe and prevents different races from killing each other.

At the same time, those Ultramen who were born from their respective worlds and recognized by the power of Ultra are brought back to the Kingdom of Light and trained to become excellent warriors.

With the development of technology and the teachings of Ultraman, more and more people in the human world are gaining recognition of the power of Ultra and becoming new Ultramen.

With the increase in the number of local Ultramen, the Land of Light believes that humans have already acquired a certain level of self-protection ability.

The number of Ultramen coming from the Land of Light is gradually decreasing.

They focus more on those parts of the world that need protection.

However, in the satellite colony in the orbit of Neptune on the outer edge of the solar system, there is an Ultraman from the Land of Light who is active.

He is called Ultraman Titas.

This Ultraman is rarely active.

People only know that the other party will show up when aliens invade the solar system.

As for the rest of the time, they are nowhere to be seen.

"We can rely on the power of the Kingdom of Light." Nori expressed his thoughts. "The Kingdom of Light is doing its best to maintain the order of the universe. If they discover the invasion of the Empire and Masaki Keigo's crazy plan to mass-produce Ultraman, they will definitely stop it."
