Chapter 694 Transport Operations

After finalizing the battle plan, the members of Super GUTS immediately sprang into action.

The components for the drilling beam were urgently transported over, and the members of Super GUTS, piloting the Victory Eagle and the Mecha Golza, stood by nearby on high alert.

After the drilling beam components were installed, Hibi, who was on the front line, turned to Mai Midorikawa, who was sitting in front of the computer, and instructed, "Mai, lock onto the monster's location."

"Yes!" Midorikawa Mai nodded and immediately operated the computer to lock onto the monster's location.

"Drill beam, target locked!" Mai Midorikawa looked up at Hibi and said.

"Very good, prepare to attack!" Hibi nodded slightly and said.

"Yes!"

The tracking drill beam was activated, and the muzzle began to slowly rotate.

"Drill beam, fire!" Hibi immediately pressed the fire button on the instrument.

A blinding flash of lightning illuminated the hole, and the drill beam shot out instantly, striking the monster deep underground.

Mai Midorikawa watched the screen on the drilling beam control panel. Beams of blue light, representing the beams, pierced the ground and struck the red dots representing the monsters. She immediately reported to her superior:

"First beam hits target!"

"Second beam hits target!"

The underground monster, under attack, immediately burrowed towards the surface.

Seeing the red dot representing the monster getting closer and closer to the ground, Midorikawa Mai quickly said:

"Captain, the monster is about to emerge from the ground!"

"Prepare to attack!" Hibi shouted, pulling down the microphone.

"understand!"

The crowd, who had been on high alert for a long time, replied in unison.

Soon, the ground suddenly shook violently, no less than an earthquake. The ground not far from the TPC base caved in and collapsed, and large amounts of soil were thrown up. A monster with a red glow all over its body, as if it were flowing with magma, emerged from the ground and roared to the sky.

"We succeeded!" Seeing the monster emerge from the ground, Hibi's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Begin the attack!"

"Wait a minute!" Upon seeing the monster emerge from the ground, Kariya's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted.

"What's wrong, Kariya?" Hibi asked.

“This monster is Sodem.” Nakajima also recognized the monster.

"Sodem?"

"Sodem lives in a volcano and serves the god of fire. It's a legendary monster widely circulated in the volcanic regions of New Guinea. This guy looks exactly like the one depicted in the ancient texts," Kariya remarked, looking at Sodem.

"A legendary monster?" Asuka asked in confusion.

"The book says that Sodom is a guardian deity who can appease the anger of the fire god and save people from volcanic eruptions." Nakajima looked at Sodom below and exclaimed, "But Sodom actually exists! I thought it must be a fictional creature."

"Captain, the monster Sodem seems to be sleeping," Kariya said, looking at Sodem, which had emerged from the ground and was dozing off with its eyes closed.

“Alright, let’s revise the battle plan and head back.” Hibi replied after a moment’s thought.

"understand!"

Command Room.

The group discussed their countermeasures again. Nakajima stood in front of the large screen in the command room and explained, "Sodom is currently sleeping. However, just 5,000 meters away is Asayama City. If such a high-temperature monster enters the city, it will cause natural disasters or detonate gas canisters, which would be a real disaster. We need to find a way to eliminate Sodom before it enters the city."

"Is there no other way besides destroying it?" Kariya asked.

"In legends, it might be a guardian deity. However, such high temperatures, far from preventing volcanic eruptions, would actually accelerate volcanic activity," Nakajima said.

"That's true..."

Before Kariya could say anything more, the door to the command room suddenly opened automatically.

"Director? What brings you here?"

Seeing Shen Yun enter the command room, everyone quickly stood up, and happy Bi also came forward to greet him and asked.

"Sit down, everyone. I'm here to deliver a report." Shen Yun gestured for everyone to sit down, then handed the report to Xibi with a smile, saying, "This is the investigation report on the monster Sodem. My suggestion is to anesthetize Sodem and transport it to the mountain pass of Mount Fuji."

Nakajima took the report from Shen Yun, glanced at it, and exclaimed in surprise, "The crystalline components on Sodem's back are actually metamorphic rock?"

"Is there a problem with the metamorphic rock?" Asuka asked.

"Simply put, it's a type of rock formed from magma through metamorphism. So, it's very likely that Sodom fed on metamorphic rocks. It seems the legend was indeed true; Sodom really is a guardian deity," Nakajima remarked, arms crossed.

“Alright, proceed with the plan as directed by the director. Nakajima, you go and develop the tranquilizer darts. Koda, you draft the transport route. We'll move out after sunrise,” Kibi instructed.

"understand!"

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Kariya piloted the Connelly 07 fighter and flew over Sodem.

"Tranquilizer grenades, fire!" Kariya aimed at Sodem's head and pressed the fire button.

"Oh!"

The tranquilizer dart flew to the top of Sodem's head and exploded with a bang. The liquid, volatile, and powerful anesthetic sprayed onto Sodem's head, then quickly evaporated due to the high temperature, turning into anesthetic gas that Sodem inhaled.

After inhaling a large amount of anesthetic, Sodem immediately became drowsy and eventually collapsed to the ground.

"Target is anesthetized, commence transport!" Koda commanded.

"understand!"

The crew members piloting the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma respectively immediately began to move.

"boom!"

Specially made, high-temperature resistant ropes were launched and tightly wrapped around Sodem's body. Three fighter jets worked together to lift him up and fly towards Mount Fuji.

Because of Sodem's temperature, which is far higher than that of magma, Koda planned to transport the goods through sparsely populated areas.

While this avoided endangering the city, it inevitably meant they would have to take a detour.

However, halfway through the flight, Sodem's high body temperature caused him to metabolize the anesthetic in his body, and he slowly woke up from the anesthesia.

"Oh no, Sodem is waking up!" Nakajima noticed the changes in Sodem's body and quickly said.

"What happened? Did the anesthesia stop working?" Koda asked.

"It might be because Sodem's high body temperature accelerated his metabolism," Nakajima guessed.

"Lower the altitude and throw Sodem down!" Koda said hurriedly.

"understand!"

At this moment, Sodem, who had just awakened from the anesthesia, saw himself hanging in the air and opened his mouth to breathe out a mouthful of flames.

"Quickly open!"

Both the Beta and Gamma cut their ropes to avoid the flames spewed by Sodem.

Alpha, however, was a step too slow and was unfortunately hit in the side by flames, causing it to plummet to the ground with its wing ablaze.

"Flying bird!"

The next moment, a warm light flickered.

Dyna appeared and caught the falling Alpha.

After placing Alpha on the ground, Dyna crossed his arms in front of his forehead. A flash of crystal light appeared on his forehead, and he immediately transformed into Miracle Type. He used his psychic powers to lift Sodom and continue flying towards Mount Fuji.

The Beta and Gamma flew to the left and right of Dyna as escorts.

Soon, Dyna lifted Sodom and flew to the top of the crater of Mount Fuji. Under the watchful eyes of the Super GUTS team, he slowly placed Sodom into the crater.

Back at the volcano, the comfortable temperature immediately caused Sodem's body temperature to gradually decrease.

It looked up at Dyna and growled a few times, seemingly to express its gratitude.

Dyna nodded at it, then turned and flew into the sky.

"Great, the incident is over." Yumimura Ryo said with a big smile as she watched Sodem jump into the volcano.

Before she could finish speaking, Yumimura Ryo saw Dyna getting closer and closer to her. Just as it was about to hit her, she let out a gasp and quickly closed her eyes.

But the whooshing sound in her ears immediately brought Yumimura Ryo to her senses. She looked up at Dyna flying overhead and said angrily:

"Dyna!"

Before she finished speaking, a smile appeared on her face.

"Alright, let's head back. Asuka's still waiting for us to pick him up," Koda said with a smile. (End of Chapter)
