The two planes returned to Earth and entered the Far East base.

On the tarmac, Nanase Makoto and Lina meet again.

Now that there were no Raichurans chasing after them, they could naturally talk about some of the topics they wanted to talk about before but didn't have time to talk about them.

"Why didn't you come to my birthday?" Lina looked at Nanase Makoto with a complicated expression.

"That day...I..." Nanase Makoto wanted to explain.

But he was soon interrupted by Lina again.

"Forget it, no need to say more."

She knew the reason, and saying this now was just a small way of venting her emotions.

However, Nanase Makoto's next action surprised Lina a little.

He took out a lipstick from the pocket of his uniform jacket, which was already covered with traces of time.

Nanase Makoto looked at the lipstick, then looked at Lina: "This is the birthday gift originally prepared for you..."

Thirteen years ago, when Lina was nine years old, she made a wish to her father that she wanted a lipstick as a birthday gift to prove that she was already an adult.

However, she never got her birthday present, but only got her parents' divorce.

"So you remember..." Lina was moved after seeing the lipstick.

"I'm sorry... Lina." Nanase Makoto walked towards Lina, holding a lipstick in his hand, "It's been so many years since I said to you... 'Happy Birthday'."

Nanase Makoto had bought this lipstick a long time ago, and had intended to give it to Lina on her birthday. However, after a big fight with his wife and the divorce, he was in a hurry to take up a post at the Delta Space Station, and never had the chance to give it to Lina.

I have kept this lipstick in my pocket for thirteen years.

Now, it can finally be sent out.

Nanase Makoto handed the lipstick to Lina. He did not expect Lina to forgive him, but just hoped that he could make up for his mistake a little, even if it was just a little bit.

Lina hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out, took the lipstick, and carefully held it in her hand.

Looking at his elderly father, his eyes became moist.

"Dad..." she whispered.

"What?" Nanase Makoto asked, not hearing clearly.

"Nothing!" Lina put away her emotions, put the lipstick in her pocket, and showed a sly smile on her face: "Gift...I accept it."

"But as punishment for being so late, you have to spend your time with me at headquarters."

Hear this.

The expression on Nanase Makoto's face suddenly became dull.

After a little thought, he realized that the relationship between them as father and daughter was not as bad as he had imagined.

All it takes to repair this relationship is an opportunity.

"Okay...it's a deal!" Nanase Makoto said excitedly.

after that.

Lina threw herself into her father's arms and the two hugged each other tightly.

not far away.

Watching this scene, Da Gu and his adjutant nodded in understanding and smiled at each other.

Next.

Lina plans to change her last name back to the same as her father's, "Nanase".

......

TPC Giant Stone Statue Comprehensive Research Base.

The atrium square on the first floor.

Due to the fusion of Daigu and Tiga, there are only two stone statues left in this base, one on the left and one on the right, leaving a space in the middle.

The body of the stone statue is connected to various wires and connected to the laboratories on each floor to study all the data of the stone statue.

I heard that there has been progress in the research on the stone statue.

Fujishu hurried over wearing the Victory Team's uniform.

In front of the fence surrounding the stone statues in the atrium, Keigo Masaki, with his hair combed back and wearing a scientific research uniform, was leaning against the fence, constantly looking at the two stone statues in front of him.

Having joined TPC for so long, his favorite thing to do is to admire the stone statues in the atrium.

"You're here?" Hearing footsteps behind him, Masaki Keigo looked behind him and said casually after seeing Fujishu.

"You said there has been progress in the research. What aspect do you mean?" Fujishu asked directly.

He always takes matters related to the Giant of Light with the utmost seriousness.

"Don't be in a hurry." However, Masaki Keigo's attitude was the opposite of his. This guy always had an arrogant attitude that he was at ease.

There is a saying that goes, this may be the "confidence of genius".

When it comes to studying the giant stone statues, all the TPC personnel combined are not as good as him alone.

Sometimes he even thought that the people he led were mediocre and had not completed their evolution.

"Come to think of it...you've always been someone I can't understand." Masaki Keigo stared at Fujishu, trying to see through Fujishu's heart.

"I felt a long time ago that I was a different person, that no one around me was worthy of being compared to me, and that I was supposed to be the first human to complete evolution."

"I know this better than anyone, but...how did you discover my talent?"

"To be honest, the company I originally founded was for my own research on evolution."

"But you have provided me with a more direct and convenient condition to study evolution, that is, the giant stone statue."

"It's as if...everything I did was already anticipated by you."

Masaki Keigo narrowed his eyes slightly, always maintaining a trace of fear towards Fujishu.

This guy... is an existence that is completely beyond his understanding.

Both his foresight into the future of mankind and his transformation into the most powerful giant of light currently on Earth were beyond his expectations.

The giant of light named Galaxy has never appeared in stone statue on Earth. The first time he appeared was when he was transformed from a vine tree.

This made Keigo Masaki speculate that perhaps there were other giants of light outside the earth.

Or to be more bold...are there giants of light outside this universe?

Hearing what Masaki Keigo said, Fujiki just smiled.

"If it were the old me, I might have gone to great lengths to give you some made-up answers."

"But now, I can tell you very clearly..."

"The reason why I appeared on this planet is to save this planet and mankind. The reason why I know some things that others don't know is because I am a special existence. You don't need to speculate too much."

"Because I am special enough, I have an obligation to save humanity. This is the responsibility of having power."

At this point, Fujiki's eyes became sharp, as if to warn Masaki Keigo: "When a person gains the power of light but does not have the corresponding awareness, he will eventually lose his mind and fall into darkness, and completely become another person."

This sentence is a hint to Keigo Masaki.

In the original work, Keigo Masaki stole Daiko's divine light stick and used the giant stone statue under Kumamoto City to merge with it, thus becoming the Giant of Light.

But the excessive negative emotions in his heart polluted the light and turned it into darkness. As a result, Masaki Keigo lost his sanity and became a slave to that body.

As long as there are vine trees on Earth today, we will naturally not sit idly by and watch such a thing happen.

It would be a good thing to be able to guide Masaki Keigo onto the right path, but if Masaki Keigo insists on going to extremes and eventually falls into darkness, Fujiki is confident that he can stop him before he causes damage.

That's why Fujishu allowed him to study the giant stone statue and provided him with the best conditions.

When Fujiki's words fell into Masaki Keigo's ears, he quickly understood that they were a warning to him.

"As expected... I still couldn't escape this guy's expectations."

After the appearance of Tiga and Ginga, Keigo Masaki had already received relevant information. After a little research, he found a low-risk way to transform into a giant of light.

Just like in the original work, by taking away the prop containing light such as the God Light Rod, and adding a set of transformation devices, it can be merged with the new stone statue to achieve evolution.

But now...he has to carefully consider the consequences of doing this.

Fujiki's Galaxy Spark is not just a prop. After he transformed into Galaxy, it has become a part of him and it is impossible for it to be stolen.

"Responsibility... It seems that I also have something to learn." Masaki Keigo smiled self-deprecatingly. Compared to the original work, he now has better research conditions and knows more about the giant stone statue. Naturally, he also knows what consequences will be caused if he rashly turns into a giant of light in his current state.

His obsession is evolution, and for this, he is even willing to learn some qualities that he has never possessed.
