Crimeos, one of the islands in the Southern Strait, where TPC's first director, Sawai, held a world conference here, welcomed a special group of guests, the SUPER-GUTS, a special team affiliated with TPC's Far East headquarters.

When the plane carrying the SUPER-GUTS flew over the ocean, not far from the island of Klimos, one of the base buildings slowly opened to park the transfer plane carrying the passengers.

After identifying each other, Captain Hibi led a group of SUPER-GUTS members into the TPC Arsenal. The internal security of the arsenal is quite strict, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a five-step post and a ten-step sentry, and these members in charge of security are wearing a uniform of black and blue, proving their identity, and they are members of the Black Storm Team selected by the Police Bureau under the command of Gondo Staff Officer.

However, these members are only supernumerary members of the Black Storm team, and the real elite team has already been sent out by Staff Officer Kondo to secretly carry out missions, otherwise SUPER-GUTS may not have received the invitation from Staff Officer Kondo to visit Klimos.

"I didn't expect this place to be so heavily guarded," even the SUPER-GUTS people who were invited were led to their destination by two supernumeraries of the Black Storm Team on strict alert, and this feeling of not being trusted made the team members, including Captain Hibi, feel angry, but only Asuka directly said the dissatisfaction in his heart, "It feels so annoying~~" It can be seen that he has no good impression of the expressionless supernumerary members of the Black Storm Team next to him.

On the way, everyone passed by a camera, the camera turned the shooting angle with their movement, and Asuka who was depressed by the dull atmosphere and unhappy saw it, ignoring the footsteps of the team members in front of him, and went straight to the camera to make a look of being interviewed by the media and said funny: "Yay-yes-Mom, did you see me~?" ”

As a result, Liang who was walking in front found out about Asuka's humiliating behavior, and forcibly stepped forward with the idea of beating this guy up, and took advantage of Asuka's inattention to directly reach out and grab his ear and forcibly pull it away, so that Asuka who was not on guard for a while exclaimed in pain, "Pain, pain, pain..."

Asuka, who was pulled by Liang to catch up with the large army, took the elevator with Captain Hibi and moved towards the underground arsenal, and the two supernumeraries of the Black Storm Team still maintained a high level of vigilance against them, but did not prevent them from watching the various war weapons arranged in the underground arsenal. On the way to the underground arsenal, everyone looked out through the elevator and found that the huge arsenal was actually full of all kinds of weapons and equipment used in war, which made them look at it for a while.

"I didn't expect that there is such a large weapons factory here..."Koda was slightly stunned, and while he was amazed by the scale of the arsenal on Klimos Island, he couldn't understand what the purpose of Staff Officer Gondo was so strongly inviting them to visit this time.

Ryo remembered something and said to the members of the SUPER-GUTS team, "I remember that on this island, former Director Sawai held the first World Peace Conference. ”

"In the name of maintaining peace, the TPC's armed forces are still growing." Captain Hibi, who has been calm since he came to Klimos, looked at the various advanced weapons and equipment outside the window and laughed at himself, "It's so ironic..."

"Even so, there's no need to hide it from us, right??" Asuka complained dissatisfiedly, ignoring the presence of the two supernumerary members of the Black Storm Team on guard behind him, "And the problem is that we didn't explain it to us by building such a large monster-like warship... Either way, it's too much. ”

Asuka was still haunted by the warship that had mysteriously appeared yesterday and displayed amazing destructive power, and the rest of the people were silent when they heard Asuka's words, as if they had acquiesced to Asuka's opinion. Time passed in the silence of everyone, just a moment, the elevator has arrived at the destination floor, Captain Hibi immediately led Asuka and his party to the destination that needs to be visited on this trip under the leadership of two security personnel.

"Welcome to the Island of the South!" Staffing Officer Gondo, who was in charge of the Prometheus Project, stood in front of them and greeted the SUPER-GUTS staff, "Unfortunately, there is no welcome ceremony. ”

"Allow me to be blunt, staff officer." After seeing the various weapons and equipment secretly produced by the Crimos Island Arsenal along the way, Captain Xibi's mood was very depressed, and now after seeing the staff officer Gondo who invited them to visit, he directly asked, "Please tell us clearly the purpose of looking for us here!" Because we don't understand the situation yet. ”

Seeing that the Prometheus plan was about to be completed, Staff Officer Gondo, who was in a good mood, rarely didn't care about Captain Kibi's faux pas, and was about to speak to explain when he was preempted by a female voice.

"I apologize to everyone for not saying it beforehand." Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the female voice, and when they looked back at the source of the sound, they were surprised to see a woman they didn't know pacing gracefully, appearing from the shadows of the machine layer Gnaku, walking in their direction, "Because this plan is very important and must be carried out carefully." ”

"Excuse me, but who are you?" Captain Xibi, who watched the woman walk all the way to himself and the others, and never remembered the relevant identity of the woman in front of him, had to ask out loud.

"She is Dr. Ruyue Tears," Staff Officer Gondo, who had always been arrogant, was not angry, and his hands were not even angry when he was not angry, and he said to Captain Kibi and the others about the identity of the woman, "The supreme person in charge of this project, the creator of the new battleship Prometheus. ”

"Prometheus..."I didn't pay much attention to Dr. Kirizuki's introduction, but I was quite concerned about the 'Prometheus' that Gondo's staff member said, "Could it be..."

Asuka's reaction pleased Staff Officer Gondo, and he snapped his fingers proudly, and the crew who got the prompt immediately cooperated to turn on the lights in the gnaku, so that the huge hull of the Prometheus battleship could be fully displayed in the eyes of the SUPER-GUTS group.

And Asuka recognized the so-called Prometheus in front of him at a glance, which was the mysterious battleship that appeared yesterday....

---------- Divide-Cut-Line----------

"I'm sure you all know about the destructive power of the new Max cannon, right?" After some surprise, Staff Officer Gondo and Dr. Rutsuki took the SUPER-GUTS group to the main control room of the base, and looked at the data related to the Prometheus warship projected in the main control room and asked everyone.

ALTHOUGH SHE USED QUESTIONS, DR. RUYUE'S TONE WAS QUITE PROUD, SHOWING THE EXTREME CONFIDENCE OF THE PROMETHEUS BATTLESHIP THAT SHE HAD PERSONALLY DEVELOPED, AND SHE DIDN'T WAIT FOR SUPER-GUTS AND OTHERS TO RESPOND, AND ADDED TO HERSELF: "However, the battle on the surface of the moon can only be regarded as a dress rehearsal at best~ You can understand it this way." ”

"Rehearsal??" MOST OF THE SUPER-GUTS WERE SKEPTICAL OF DR. RUTSUKI'S DESCRIPTION, AND MAI MIDORIKAWA ALSO RAISED HER OWN QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME: "CAN IT REALLY DESTROY MONSTERS WITH ONE SHOT?? ”

"If you turn the energy to the highest output, something at the level of an asteroid can be completely destroyed." Seeing that Asuka and the others expressed their doubts, Staff Officer Gondo smugly explained to them the horror of the Prometheus battleship, but after hearing this, the SUPER-GUTS people remembered the scene yesterday when the cosmic bone-winged super beast was bombarded into cosmic dust by a cannon, and they were all silent.

"Its power has completely surpassed Ultraman!" Gondo staff said nothing, but Dr. Ruyue made a supplementary explanation at the right time, which made it even more difficult to hide the smug color on Gonto's face.

"Please, please wait a minute!" When Asuka, who was amazed at the power of the Prometheus battleship in his heart, heard this, he immediately refuted Dr. Kirizuki's opinion with dissatisfaction, "It's just that with a huge battleship, how can it be even more powerful than Ultraman!" ”

"The most important thing now is not the question of who is stronger." Stretching out his hand to stop Asuka who was still trying to continue to refute, Captain Kibi looked directly at Dr. Rutsuki on the command platform with a solemn expression and said, "Rather..."

"Rather?" Dr. Rutsuki looked at Captain Kibi, who clearly disagreed, with interest, but his expression showed that he was about to say something unimpressed.

"If this warship were controlled by humans, would it become a dangerous 'toy'?" Captain Hibi ignored Dr. Kizuki's attitude and directly expressed his thoughts, including even calling the battleship Prometheus, the core key of the entire Prometheus project, a 'toy', which shows that Captain Hibi actually disagrees with TPC putting this kind of high-lethality battleship into actual combat.

There is no pressure to destroy asteroids, and the destructive power of the Prometheus is truly impressive, and it is an excellent means of human self-defense. But if we think about it the other way around, is it really appropriate for Earth to put such a powerful warship into actual combat?

Captain Hibi, who had firmly believed in TPC's concept of maintaining peace, was a little shaken when he saw a large amount of secret armed equipment developed and produced by TPC's top management in the Crimeos Island Arsenal. If the Prometheus warship, which is under development, succeeds, will this powerful warship, which was originally intended to defend the earth against foreign aggression in the near future, become a tool for the countries of the earth to attack each other?

Besides, even if TPC does not intend to use the Prometheus battleship to deter or even attack countries, with the current scientific and technological strength of mankind, can it really control the Prometheus battleship? If there is even the slightest mistake, I am afraid that in the future, the Prometheus battleship will also be transformed into a war tool to invade other planets...

Either way, it was the result that Captain Hibi didn't want to see, so he had to try to express his opinion before the Prometheus Project was fully successful, hoping that the implementation of the Prometheus Project would be delayed for the time being, and that it would be implemented only after the humans could accurately control its power temptation in the future.

"Times are always advancing, and your personal opinion is too conservative in my opinion. And my opinion is... Prometheus will surely become a new symbol of humanity! But obviously, Dr. Ruzuki does not agree with Captain Hibi's opinion, and her opinion is biased towards the fact that the Prometheus Project will become a new milestone in the era of the new field of mankind, demonstrating the scientific and technological power of mankind with great power, which is also what makes Gondo staff the most excited.

The theory of the completely opposite point of view to Captain Hibi made the atmosphere between Dr. Kizuki and Captain Hibi instantly tense...
