Chapter 1953 Gu Chen: Da Gu, can I borrow your magic light stick?

As people watched the golden rain curtain rise from below, they were all awestruck by the beautiful sight.

"what is that?"

Inside the operations command center, Kijima asked in bewilderment.

Nozue Hachimi immediately zoomed in on the satellite image, instantly revealing the true nature of the scattered light particles in the picture.

They were tiny creatures that resembled a combination of jellyfish and rays, floating in the air like plankton.

"Those are the true forms of the Lightning Men."

Gu Chen's voice rang out at the right time, answering the questions that Kijima Megumi and Nozomi Hachimitsu had in mind.

Seeing this scene through PDI's satellite footage, Nanase Rena couldn't help but exclaim, "She looks like... an angel."

Horii Masami and Dr. Mizuno huddled together, looking at the true form of the Lightning Man, and fell into a long silence.

Tiga watched as the Lightning Man flew back into the sky, then glanced at the city streets ravaged by his battle with Gazort before disappearing from the world's sight.

On the Victory Flying Swallow 2, Daigo Madoka emerged from a beam of light, silently returned to his seat, and fastened his seatbelt without a word.

Gu Chen didn't see the joy of victory on his face; instead, he looked preoccupied.

Seeing this, Gu Chen didn't ask any questions. He simply moved the control stick, then turned on his microphone again and said, "Battle over. Victory Swallow 2 is beginning its return journey."

Megumi's voice immediately rang out: "Headquarters received, Advisor, Daigo, thank you for your hard work."

Immediately afterwards, Victory Flying Swallow 2 flew straight toward the TPC Far East Headquarters Base.

However, among the crowd in the city below Victory Flying Swallow 2, some people looked up and silently watched Victory Flying Swallow 2 fly further and further away. A hint of anger flashed in their cold expressions.

At the same time, a suppressed murmur of anger rang out from somewhere: "Tiga... since you left back then, why did you come back?!"

The Kirieloids, who had been hiding in the shadows all along, finally couldn't resist stepping out of their dark corners when they saw Tiga reappear before the world.

However, none of this attracted the attention of others. After all, for spiritual beings like the Kirieloids, unless they deliberately exposed themselves, it would be very difficult for others to find them from their hiding places.

On the other side, aboard Victory Flying Swallow 2.

On the way back, Daigo Madoka couldn't maintain his silence and couldn't help but call out, "Advisor."

"Hmm?" Gu Chen, who was sitting in front of Yuan Daigu, responded without turning his head.

Daigo Madoka organized his thoughts for a moment, then said, "Is there really... no other way?"

Gu Chen didn't answer, he just shook his head.

Seeing this, Daigo Madoka fell silent again.

He felt that the Lightning Man was really pitiful. They were originally such a small and cute species, but because of human development, they mutated into a terrifying and huge monster like Gazort.

Even if we were to defeat such an enemy, we would feel no joy, only deep sorrow and shame.

And so, the two remained silent the entire way back to TPC's Far East headquarters.

Meanwhile, on Munakata Seiichi's side, Izayoi Megumi had already arranged for people to bring them back from the deserted island.

As night fell, the group, having finished their reports, were about to return to their respective dormitories to rest when Gu Chen suddenly approached Madoka.

"Daigo, there's something I need your help with, about Lightning Man."

In the corridor, Gu Chen called out to Yuan Dagu, who was about to return to his dormitory, and got straight to the point.

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Madoka Daigo was taken aback, then looked at Gu Chen with some surprise and said, "Advisor, you've found a solution?"

Gu Chen smiled helplessly and shook his head, saying, "There's no other way. I just wanted to try and see if I could reduce the conflict between humans and the Lightning People."

Daigo Madoka's surprise vanished instantly, replaced by a puzzled look. "Reduce conflict? What do you plan to do, Advisor?"

Gu Chen immediately explained, "Right now, all I can do is persuade the Lightning Man to leave Earth and find a new home."

Upon hearing this, Daigo Madoka fell silent instantly.

Seeing this, Gu Chen continued, "Daigo, you should also know that the conflict between humans and lightning people is a fundamental conflict of survival needs. Such a conflict cannot be resolved unless we humans can give up electromagnetic waves overnight and find a substitute that does not affect the living environment of lightning people. But as you know, that is impossible."

Yuan Daigu understood what Gu Chen was saying, so he nodded slightly and asked, "So, what do you plan to do, Advisor? And what help do you need from me?"

Gu Chen stretched out his hand and said, "I need to borrow your magic light stick for a while."

Daigo Madoka was immediately startled: "A Spark Lens?!"

Immediately, he reached out and pulled the magic light stick out from under his clothes, decisively placing it in Gu Chen's palm.

Gu Chen glanced at the glow stick, then nodded to Daigo Madoka and said, "Thanks, I'll return it to you as soon as I'm done using it."

After saying that, Gu Chen put the magic light stick into the lining of his clothes and then turned to leave.

Behind him, Daigo Madoka's voice came: "Advisor, there's no need to rush to change it, take your time using it."

It was clear that even if Gu Chen didn't return the money, Yuan Daigu wouldn't have any objections.

After all, Daigo Madoka originally believed that Gu Chen was more suitable to possess Tiga's power than he was.

……

In the darkness of night, a beam of light shot into the sky, attracting no one's attention.

Meanwhile, in the Earth's ionosphere, the Lightning People, who had been forcibly forced back into their Lightning Man forms by GUTS and Tiga from their Gazort forms, gathered together, dragging their weary bodies as they searched for an area in the ionosphere unaffected by electromagnetic waves.

As human activities continue, the regions of the ionosphere unaffected by electromagnetic waves are constantly changing.

In the early days, when humans had a limited understanding of electromagnetic waves, they could easily find large areas unaffected by them. However, as our research and application of electromagnetic waves have deepened, such areas have become increasingly difficult to find.

Even if they were lucky enough to find such an area, the Lightning People didn't know how long it would exist.

It is precisely because their living environment has become increasingly harsh that they have been forced to evolve the habit of cannibalism.

Otherwise, with a lack of resources, the Lightning People might not be able to maintain their population.

The reason why the Lightning People haven't gone extinct is because they've paid a considerable price.

But just as the Lightning People were struggling to find a safe place to live, a familiar yet terrifying light enveloped them from below.
