Chapter 16: The Warrior of Light

When Da Gu Huo rushed to the sanatorium.

happened to learn from the escort that Ryoko rarely took the time to come back today to accompany his mother.

So, Da Gu, whose face changed suddenly, didn't care too much about explaining too much, and after revealing his identity as a member of the victory team, he quickly ran towards Gong Fangzi's nursing ward.

I don't know if it was a simple coincidence, or if it was expected.

Just as Dagu came to the floor where Miyayoshiko was, Ryoko happened to walk from her mother's hospital room.

"Hello, Warrior of Light!"

Across the corridor in the distance, Ryoko, who had a slightly sad expression on his face, bowed to Dagu.

In Ryoko's vision at this moment, she couldn't see Dagu's appearance clearly at all, all she could see was a human form formed by the convergence of light.

The light was so warm, so warm that Ryoko, who was originally only obsessed, regained a little bit of rationality.

"You're a good son!?"

Recognizing the identity of the woman opposite at a glance, Da Gu instantly raised his vigilance.

The observer of the long-disappeared Jeepta III is now next to his mother.

This means that Shaji's previous suspicion has come true - the mechanical beast is the monster Jepta Three.

"I'm a good son, but I'm not a good son."

In the face of the existence of warmth like Dagu, Ryoko did not show the slightest hostility.

"The real Liangzi has long since disappeared with the crash of the Jepta III, and I am only a wisp of longing that has been briefly manifested by the power of Ligadron."

"After fulfilling Ryoko's wish, I will disappear completely, and then become a part of Ligadron."

Hearing this, Da Gu asked with a slightly heavy face.

"What happened to Jeepta Three?"

"Why are you the way you are?"

"Also, why did Ligardron come to Earth? Why did you attack the Space Development Agency?"

There were too many questions piling up in Dagu's heart, and he was now desperate to know the truth of all this.

If it were possible, it would be better to be able to eradicate the threat of Ligadron at its roots.

"Don't worry, Warrior of Light."

"Everything you want to know, I'll tell you slowly."

"Because we also don't want the tragedy of the destruction of the earth because of us..................................................................................................................

With Ryoko's little bit of description, what happened on the Jeepta III was gradually exposed to Dagu's eyes.

Jeepta-3 is a spacecraft belonging to the Space Development Agency's D Agency, an exploration spacecraft dedicated to exploring Jupiter's atmosphere and environment.

Due to the specificity of its mission, the Jeepta-3 sails in space almost all year round, and only occasionally returns to resupply fuel and supplies.

It was the day when the Jeepta-3 returned home with the recorded data for resupply.

As usual, the members of Jeepta-3 piloted the spacecraft to the space station for resupply and personnel rotation.

But on the way back, a "light" that seemed to appear out of thin air struck the Jeepta-3.

Ryoko was the first to notice this anomalous light, and as an observer, she instinctively issued an early warning, but it turned out to be a step too late.

The Jeepta-3, which was attacked by the "light", cut off all contact with the headquarters in a very short period of time.

Immediately afterward, Jeepta 3 seemed to come to life, and its cockpit and mechanical structure began to wriggle and change at a speed visible to the naked eye.

By the time Dr. Jiang and the others realized that something was wrong, the three of them were locked in the cab.

To be honest, Ryoko doesn't quite remember what really happened.

She only remembered that not long after she was imprisoned, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

When Ryoko came back to her senses again, she was horrified to find that she was no longer there

It's human.

Its own flesh is deeply integrated with machinery, like a tree growing out of the soil......

The subtle combination of organic and inorganic causes Ryoko to fall into a state of sleepwalking.

The half-mechanical, half-life form of existence frees Ryoko from the basic cycle of life.

In other words, the good son who was assimilated by Ligadron received the "eternal life" that ordinary people could only dream of.

However, as the price of this "eternal life", Ryoko will be imprisoned forever in the body of Ligadron and become part of the source of his thoughts.

Also as a source of his ideas were two other members of the Jeepta-3.

Dr. Jiang Qi, in particular, although he was assimilated and absorbed by Lijadelon, his will was the strongest of the three.

From the very beginning, Dr. Jiang Qi has been resisting the assimilation of Ligadron, and even reversely affected the nascent consciousness of this mechanical giant beast.

With Dr. Jiang Qi's help, the other two soon "woke up" through the sharing of thoughts and memories.

Although the three members of Jepta 3 have different memories and thoughts, they share a common obsession - to go home!

Therefore, under the influence of this common obsession, Lijadelon, who was originally thirsty for high-purity energy, officially embarked on the journey back to Earth.

"So, I'm now a Lega Delon, a Jiang Qi, a Kawasuke, and a good son."

Calmly staring at Dagu with incredible words written on his face, Ryoko's voice turned into a strange triple tone at this moment.

There are calm male voices, gentle female voices, and young voices......

Mixed with the voices of Jiang Qi, Ryoko, and Kawasuke, the weird triple tone was like a monster screaming.

"We just want to go home and see our family one last time."

"What we're doing so far is not what we want to see."

Tears slid down the corners of her eyes, but Ryoko's face remained eerily calm.

"We returned to Earth with the power of Legadron to say goodbye to our families in person."

"And Lijadron knows what is happening on Earth through our thoughts and memories."

"Based on our analysis and personal experience, the emergence of Ligadron is not accidental, it is a crisis that has arisen to prevent us humans from moving towards the universe."

"In Dr. Jiang's memory, something similar happened a few years ago......

Before she could finish speaking, Ryoko's body suddenly turned into light and began to gradually dissipate, as if her words had triggered some kind of taboo.

"Warrior of Light, you must stop Ligadron from transforming and stop it from bringing information from Earth back into the universe!"

"The essence of Lijadron is a 'light' without emotion and substance......

"The current form of the monster is nothing more than the form it created by taking advantage of the fears of the three of us......

Under Dagu's stunned gaze, Ryoko's figure had disappeared from his field of vision, leaving only a few voices still echoing in the corridor.

Ryoko's words reminded Daiko of a person, a person who had a similar experience to the members of Jepta III - Asuka Kazuma!
