Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 468 Geddy and Sigma
"All vigilance!"

Dozens of guards came with guns and surrounded Amanda vigilantly tens of meters away, not daring to approach.

The latter was struggling to support his body, and behind him was the stone statue of Giant No. [-], which was leaning on and bending many trees.

"Looking at your physical strength, you can still survive even three transformations."

Ptolemy finally arrived and did not let the people around him relax their vigilance.

He came to Amanda alone, watched Amanda gasping for air, and then said:

"I can understand that you can complete the transformation without a tuner. However, you must have been exposed to the characteristics of the Heart Soil."

Amanda smiled and said: "I think I need to rest. There is no information that I must know now."

Ptolemy scratched his head in embarrassment, turned around and shouted: "The cleaning team is working normally, everyone else, return to the base!"

Several people rushed over to pick up Amanda, and they reached the helicopter to return.

Higher in the sky, the Yan fighter jet entered cruise mode, responsible for monitoring the surface of the underground base to see if there were any other abnormalities.

A few hours later, Amanda, who had passively completed numerous disinfection procedures, finally lay on the bed. Although she was still mentally exhausted, her body had almost recovered from the wear and tear.

Ptolemy entered a secret meeting room filled with fellows from the local academy who were loyal to Ptolemy's ideas.

"The operator of No. [-] is still Anduin. We haven't found Amanda's whereabouts yet. Even when asked by the American headquarters, they said so."

"The top management of the Austro-Hungarian Empire should apply to us for the production of No. [-] giants, but the powerful combat power displayed by No. [-] is actually more dependent on the physical fitness of the operator. For the time being, we will produce according to the original plan of ten giants. , there is no need to make it according to their requirements.”

"In addition, let our college's own intelligence agency start to intervene. The screening of the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not identify Randy's anomaly. We can no longer trust their intelligence."

"Finally, conduct a secondary screening of all personnel in the base. Our cooperation with the Dark Believers is limited to the early technical difficulties of the artificial giant. We are essentially sworn enemies. If I still find someone who has no connection with the Dark Believers, , I will make him disappear from this world."

Everyone expressed their loyalty and purity and watched Ptolemy leave.

They trust each other and agree that there are still some technicians in the Austro-Hungarian Empire who have not completely given up on learning some of the techniques passed down by the dark believers.

After all, the researchers at the college have a clear understanding of the dangers of pollution from school to graduation to work, and they instinctively hate darkness.

Only those technical personnel in secular countries may have distracting thoughts and be tempted by darkness and fall.

Just as Ptolemy thought, the corruption of Giant Three actually became the record of Giant Four.

That huge thunder sun could be seen even as far away as Budapest. The senior leaders of the Austro-Hungarian Empire soon learned from their own scientific personnel that the energy range of that sun exceeded the firepower of all heavy weapons known to the current level of technology.

If it appeared in a human building, that sun would destroy all material existence within dozens of kilometers nearby.

Moreover, it is clean and pollution-free, and both the giant stone statue that released the sun and its operator can be safely preserved.

Rather than dealing with monsters and pollution, the senior leaders of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were the first to see the powerful war potential of this technology.With such technology, combined with Ptolemy's space movement, it can be launched in important cities or military areas of the enemy's country at long distances, directly defeating the opponent's military resistance capabilities.

The power of the man-made giant itself surpasses the current military level. With such a big killer move, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely be able to use it to rule the entire world and bring a beautiful new world!
Of course, it is not clear whether this beauty is for the high-level people or the poor people at the bottom.

Within three days, many proposals were placed on Ptolemy's desk. Those nobles who had fled in panic when they encountered danger not long ago also returned to persuade Ptolemy to hand over the artificial giant to release the power of the sun. , and the standard training process on how to cultivate secondary transformation operators.

Even if Ptolemy and the researchers at the academy kept silent, the researchers from the Austro-Hungarian Empire who had studied giant technology also found corresponding ideas.

The ability of the sun to destroy everything comes from the characteristics of the soil of the heart. However, when the human body is transformed through the tuner, it will only activate the stone statue and turn it into a giant body to fight, and emit that characteristic energy in the form of light skills. , the loss is very small.

However, after the amount of one transformation is consumed and the human body is about to undergo a second transformation, without going through the tuner or turning off the pollution suppression function of the tuner, you can directly face the essence of the soil of the heart in a certain dimension and obtain That cursed power.

However, the risk is that without a tuner, the human body cannot undergo a second transformation. Turning off the pollution suppression function will most likely cause the human body itself to be contaminated by the power of the soil of the heart.

Even those high-ranking officials in the Austro-Hungarian Empire who were blinded by power knew that polluted and corrupted power was the enemy of all human civilization and could not be controlled by them.

Therefore, their priority was to obtain the secrets about No. [-] from Ptolemy through negotiation.

They have learned that No. [-]'s human body completed the second transformation without a tuner, faced the pollution and survived.

Therefore, they have to find a way to train the physical fitness of Human Body No. [-].

Even with the possibility that No. [-] may be contaminated but did not erupt, and there is a certain risk, Ptolemy was asked to hand over No. [-] human body and giant stone statue.

This was of course rejected by Ptolemy.

He insisted on taking the repair work of the base as his main goal and continued to push forward with the goal of completing ten artificial giants within this year without any wavering.

Because there is currently only one giant base that can be put into production, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not pressing too hard.

They thought that Ptolemy still had many skills that he had not taught them, so they could not break up with him for the time being. They could only send more resources and support to help Ptolemy repair the base.

At the same time, many scholars and technicians loyal to the Austro-Hungarian Empire were also assigned to distribute in various departments of the base in the hope of learning clues to those key technologies.

After Amanda's physical and mental training was completed, she also obtained a citizen within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Anduin Annares, 19 years old, arranged by Ptolemy's recruitment, through the internal channels of the academy.

Even the Austro-Hungarian Empire itself could not find anything wrong with it.It's just that I am four years older for no reason, which is a bit weird.

A college researcher came and lived with Amanda in a dormitory for three days, teaching him everything about this identity, from the breed of goat milk he drank as a child, to his first love and the relationship he was forced to break up because he joined the fire brigade. The experience is extremely complete and outlines the image of a healthy young man in the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire who is determined to serve his country.

Amanda asked curiously: "What does that first love look like, do you have a picture?"

"Are you referring to Miss Aphra Ed? She died of tuberculosis in 1827. Their family thought that Aphra went to school in Budapest, and they didn't know about Miss Aphra's death until yesterday. Don't worry, we all faked it." Yes, because Miss Aphra wanted her boyfriend to accompany her back to Vienna, but you devoted yourself to the firefighting business to protect your hometown. In the Budapest incident two months ago, Miss Aphra died in Zoga's attack . Because of this, you are full of hatred for the darkness and have become the most powerful competitor for Titan No. [-]."

Researchers thought Amanda was just looking for more information, and quickly provided information that could deceive the Austro-Hungarian intelligence agency.

These were originally meant to be told to Amanda later.

"Huh, then I hope you don't reveal your secrets."

Amanda even saw the researcher hand her a photo, cropped to fit inside a pocket watch.

On it is a black and white portrait of a person. In the photo, Miss Afra is wearing ordinary civilian clothes and has long dark hair. She has an outstanding appearance but has a depressing atmosphere, which makes people unwilling to approach.You can even see the swelling near the pale throat skin caused by years of coughing.

"If it is the character information created by the academy, I suspect that according to your style, you will directly fabricate a fake one. This person does not exist at all."

Amanda took the pocket watch she had prepared and stuffed the photo into it.

He knew that Ptolemy must have some requirements for arranging such an identity for him. Otherwise, according to his original plan, at this moment, after collecting the records of the origin stones of Nineveh, he should continue to head east to Penglai to look for Abti. Miss Professor.

"Five days later we will set off for Vienna, which is another capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Austro-Hungarian Empire itself is composed of Austria and Hungary, so they are so comfortable letting Budapest become the target of previous attacks by dark believers. Many Austrians The top brass of the Hungarian Empire and even His Majesty the Emperor are all in Vienna. Professor Ptolemy is worried that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will take some violent measures if they can't find you again, so he wants to take the initiative to let you go to Vienna. Numbers [-] and [-] are currently there. , the professor believes that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will secretly let Paris No. [-] try to transform a second time without using a tuner and reproduce the ability of No. [-]. He is worried that something will happen and hopes you can deal with it. The professor said, you have realized it. The value of artificial giants in fighting darkness in the future will not allow this plan to be distorted or interrupted for no reason. It may even be stolen by people with evil intentions."

Amanda listened quietly to the researcher's story, and it turned out that this was what happened.

Ptolemy could tell from No. [-]'s previous behavior of prioritizing loyalty to the empire's top management rather than protecting the experimental base. He expected that after these people had complete Titan technology, they would cooperate with his plan and help other countries build Titan bases. It's a fool's dream.

Therefore, Ptolemy also needed to give the Austro-Hungarian Empire some blows to let them understand who gave them this power.

"Haha, didn't you say before that you believe that humans can unite to fight against danger after possessing this kind of power?"

Amanda murmured, but Ptolemy still had the ability to counterattack, so he didn't completely believe in humans, and it meant that he wasn't completely confused.

"Oh, by the way, the professor said that you might say these words, so let me tell you that the growth of a civilization always needs to experience setbacks, or go astray. He will always accompany the civilization to develop to a level that can be independent, not After solving the problems that transcend the level of civilization, just let go and run away.”

"I know, he is responsible."

Amanda took a deep breath and looked at the top brass of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to see if there was anyone with the same level of mind.

Instead of being directly blinded by the power of the giants, Gatan hadn't even woken up, and the number of artificial giants hadn't reached a certain level, so he began to imagine dominating the world after the war and made practical measures for it.

A few days later, Amanda took a rail car leaving the base and headed to the airport in Budapest.

Later, a team with tight security escorted a stand-in who was similar in size to him onto the plane. Instead, Amanda had to take a waterway boat.

He changed into a cruise ship's sailor uniform, not as a passenger.

While inspecting the cabin, I suddenly heard a familiar sound. When I looked back, I saw a giant dog with blond hair, as tall as a person, rushing over excitedly and threw it into Amanda's arms. .

Damn, forgot about Geddy again.

Amanda apologized a little, held Geddy in her arms, rubbed his hair, and comforted Geddy.

"Ah, dad, it's that--"

Amanda heard another exclamation. In this simple cabin compartment, the child who was entrusted by herself with the Omega armband, Sigma, and the middle-aged man who was a bit shabby but clean, Weimaraner.

"Sigma, don't shout, don't cause trouble to others."

Weimar signaled his child to be quiet, and when he woke up later, he had heard his son tell a fairy tale and learned everything that happened.

In other words, the young man in front of him is actually the Giant of Light, the one who fights monsters and protects mankind as described in Sigma's favorite comics, Ultraman.

"We meet again, Sigma. Are you going to Vienna too?"

Amanda was a little curious. The father and son should be in Budapest. Is it because of the pressure of survival?

They should have saved a wealthy businessman family. The father and son were not bad people, and they should have given them some help.

"Brother, my classmate's family gave our family a lot of money and helped us buy tickets to send us to Vienna for medical treatment. My father's leg injury cannot be cured in Budapest. The doctor said that if it takes a long time, it will not be good. back to normal."

Amanda glanced at the Weimaraner's leg, which was wearing a fixed plate. The bones inside were healing, but the internal tendons were growing crookedly. If not corrected in time, he would be lame for the rest of his life.

"That's it. I wish you a speedy recovery, uncle. It seems that Geddy is also here with you during this time, so I will entrust you to take care of him for a while."

"It's okay, big brother. The big dog is very obedient and will help my dad drive away the bad guys and protect us."

Sigma said happily, hugging Geddy's dog's head and rubbing it affectionately.

"Well, you don't have to call me big brother. Just call me brother or Anduin."

Looking at the big dog and the child, Amanda had some bad memories waking up.

"Geddie, protect them."

"Wang!"

Amanda nodded and left without staying too long.
