Chapter 73 Aren't you supposed to protect the world?
The battle lasted less than half an hour before it came to an end.
Gatanothor's mental control, which had been forcibly projected across distant seas, could not be maintained for long after being disrupted by Kaul. This group of probes was wiped out by Tiga and his team, and the darkness eventually retreated slowly back into the depths of R'lyeh.
As darkness gradually dissipated, the long-awaited sunlight once again shone on the construction site in the eastern mountains.
The ground was littered with Zoga's remains, and the giants deactivated their transformations, turning into human form and landing on the ground.
Although everyone was exhausted and had many bruises, their faces were filled with an unprecedented excitement and unity.
"We won! It's been so long since I've felt this good!" Daya slapped her thigh excitedly.
"That's because the four of us are holding the line!" Darram laughed, putting his arm around Soruka's neck. "How was it, Soruka? Did you hit the target well today?"
"Let me go, you stinky, sweaty muscle gorilla!" Soruka said with disgust, but he couldn't help but smile.
The civilians and workers not far away peeked out of their shelters, and when they saw the monster corpses scattered all over the ground and the giants who had protected them, a thunderous cheer erupted from the crowd.
"Long live Lord Ultraman Tiga!"
"Long live Lord Darram! Long live Lord Hitler!"
"Lady Camilla looked absolutely stunning whipping her whip today!"
Some of the bolder civilians pointed at Little Rock, who was squatting next to Kaul, rubbing his big head against Kaul, begging for praise, and shouted:
"That winged Golza was awesome! It was also very powerful just now, along with that jackal monster!"
Hearing the cheers of the common people, Tiga and the others felt very comfortable. This heartfelt gratitude and respect from those they were protecting was something that no amount of power could replace.
However, in this sea of joy and celebration, there is one place that seems out of place.
That is the celestial sanctuary, suspended high above the clouds, radiating what is called light.
Kaul picked up the megaphone, turned around, and looked at the floating island.
Kaul turned the loudspeaker up to maximum volume and even used Ultraman's telekinesis to enhance the sound's penetrating power, ensuring that everyone in the surrounding area, including the group of self-important giants in the sky, could hear it clearly.
"Oh dear! What a tough battle!"
Kaur's voice echoed through the valley.
"First of all, on behalf of the Monster Infrastructure Department and all the ancient civilians present, I would like to thank Team Tiga and all the guards who stepped forward today. It is you who protected this land!"
Another round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the ground.
"But!" Kaul's tone shifted abruptly, becoming extremely sarcastic. He pointed a finger at the celestial sanctuary above, "Here, I must also give special thanks to our great, pure, and lofty Deputy Commander of the Karfa Border, and his followers!"
Upon hearing this, all the commoners and giants fell silent, looking up at the sky with some confusion in the direction Kaul was pointing.
"Thank you for standing firm and doing nothing at the critical moment when tens of thousands of civilians faced life and death, and when your colleagues were fighting bloody battles. You remained steadfast in the aerial sanctuary that everyone had worked so hard to build for you."
Kaur's voice was extremely high-pitched and full of highly inflammatory sarcasm.
"Thank you for not using your arrogance to help us. Thank you for making us realize what indifference truly means."
"Wow..." Daga grimaced as he listened, muttering under his breath, "This guy's mouth is really sharp... He's going to put Karfa and the others on the hot seat."
A commotion broke out in the crowd.
The gratitude on the faces of the common people gradually turned into doubt, and then into anger and contempt.
"Yeah, the Sky Sanctuary is so close, why don't they come down to help?"
"Don't they always claim to be the guardians of the earth? Is this how gods behave?"
"They don't care about our lives at all! They only care about their own arrogance!"
"Didn't you say you were going to protect the world?! Why are you silent? Why don't you show up when people are in danger?!"
The ordinary giants' expressions changed, and Darram even raised an extremely rude hand gesture towards the sky: "A bunch of cowards! Don't ever mention that you're gods in front of me again, and don't say we worked together before, I find it disgusting!"
Edge of the Sky Sanctuary.
As Karfa listened to the overwhelming jeers and curses below, his originally silvery-white body trembled slightly with extreme anger.
"These ignorant ants... how dare they mock the gods!" One of Karfa's men was so angry that he wanted to rush down.
"Stop!" Kalfa reached out to stop him, but his voice was distorted with anger and resentment. "They've been completely brainwashed by that alien and Tiga. Going down now will only drag us into a quagmire of being attacked by the masses. That outsider... he's deliberately isolating us!"
Karfa finally realized what was happening.
What signifies status?
This celestial sanctuary was essentially a magnificent, isolated island that Kaul had tailor-made for their group.
They were elevated to the highest rank, stripped of their voice at the grassroots level, and then, when a crisis came, their arrogance was exploited to make them stand idly by, thus completely destroying their prestige among ordinary giants and humans!
This is a blatant conspiracy! And they willingly walked right into it!
"Kaul..." A purple darkness flashed in Karfa's eyes, which intensified instantly due to the extreme resentment and humiliation.
The allure of Gatanothor, which had been lurking in their hearts, was growing wildly.
"You will regret it. When the real purge comes, these fools, along with Tiga and the others, will pay the price for their ignorance!" Karfa turned and walked into the depths of the Sanctuary, shutting out the endless jeers.
On the ground, Kaul watched as the defensive barrier gradually rose in the Sky Sanctuary and put down the megaphone with satisfaction.
"Very good. The first phase of physical and psychological isolation is completely complete. Calfa and his group have now completely lost their popular support on this planet. They are now just a bunch of lone commanders." Kaul turned to look at Tiga. "In this way, even if we have to clash with them in the future, the ordinary giants will no longer blindly take sides."
Tiga looked at Kaul with eyes full of awe: "Mr. Kaul, your wisdom is truly unfathomable."
"Stop flattering me, hurry up and clean up the mess. Camilla's eyes were practically drooling just now. Why don't you go and claim credit?" Kaul shoved Tiga, smiling as he watched Tiga blush and walk towards Camilla.
