A person in Ultraman receives a gift from the will of Earth at the start.

Chapter 288: Small entry, big surprise.

Horii nodded to Dr. Tango, giving up his seat.

Dr. Dango excitedly operated the console, clearly projecting the cracked data stream and star map trajectory onto the main screen.

He adjusted his glasses, his face beaming with the pride of a researcher making a major breakthrough.

"Look, everyone," Danhou said, pointing to the strange symbols that kept flashing and combining on the screen. "After our initial analysis, we found that the underlying logic of these non-Earth language codes contains a highly unified will, as if the entire mechanical island, including the two robots, is a tool extended from a vast consciousness."

He switched the view, zooming in on the unique energy signature and coordinate reference system. "This energy signature, with its fluctuation frequency and composition, does not match any known extraterrestrial civilization or natural phenomenon in our database. Yet it is exceptionally stable and powerful, permeating every core component of the mechanical island. Combined with the coordinate orientation, we can be fairly certain that this entity calling itself 'Sphia Sphere' is the creator and dispatcher of the mechanical island."

During the explanation, Dr. Dango's gaze inadvertently swept over Lin Yeming, his eyes carrying a meaningful look. He remembered that Staff Officer Lin seemed to have a premonition about the crisis related to the Magus power system, and the discovery of "Sphia" now seemed to confirm some deeper threat.

But he didn't say much, simply putting aside this investigation for the time being and continuing to focus on the technical explanation.

Silence reigned in the command room, broken only by Tango's voice and soft breathing. As the analysis deepened, everyone's expressions grew increasingly grave.

“Sphia…” Director Yoshioka closed his folding fan and gently tapped his palm with the fan ribs. “A name I’ve never heard of before, yet it possesses the technological level to project forces across interstellar space.”

"To build mechanical islands and produce those powerful robot monsters," Vice Captain Munakata said in a deep voice, arms crossed, "what is their purpose? Is it merely to plunder resources?"

"Orion Arm..." Lina repeated the distant location in a low voice, feeling a strange chill.

“If the mechanical island is just the vanguard,” Captain Megumi said, voicing everyone’s biggest concern, “then how powerful must the SPAA’s main body, or their army, be?”

No further explanation is needed; the conclusion is clear: this unknown entity called "Sphia" is very likely the mastermind behind all of this, a terrifying enemy filled with malice towards human civilization and possessing technology far surpassing Earth's. The Mechanical Island is not the end, but rather a beginning, a tentative prelude. The real crisis may have only just begun to unfold.

Lin Yeming stared at the energy signature representing "Sphia" on the screen, alarm bells ringing in his mind. Although he already knew the name, the impact and sense of urgency it brought when it was officially confirmed by TPC's top management in this form and on this occasion were completely different.

"Because of my appearance, although the general plot has not changed, the details have deviated." Lin Yeming thought quickly in his mind, "The order in which Kiga and Auguma appeared, the scale of the global joint counterattack, and even the process of the destruction of the Machine Island... These subtle changes are like the flapping of a butterfly's wings. Who knows what kind of storm they will eventually cause? Will Softia's next operation be the same as 'original'?"

He couldn't be sure. The sense of crisis brought about by the uncertainty of the future was more unsettling than the known plot. He had originally planned to wait for a more suitable time to extract the entry, but now, he felt that the growth of his power was urgent.

He took a deep breath and, while everyone's attention was focused on Horii and the screen, quietly sank his consciousness into his mind and touched the system prompt that had been waiting for him.

You now have four opportunities to steal an entry. Do you wish to steal an entry now?

"Three entries for Kiga, one entry for Oguma."

"It's a pity there are no customizable terms!"

Lin Yeming glanced at the system information and silently recited it in his mind.

"Begin the looting!"

He must strengthen his forces as quickly as possible to cope with any possible changes.

[Plundering the abilities of the robot Giga...]

[Currently plundering the abilities of the robot Auguma...]

[Currently converting abilities into terms...]

[Entry conversion successful. You have obtained the following entries.]

[Congratulations, host, on successfully stealing the entry "Super Horsepower (Grade B)".]

[Congratulations, host, on successfully plundering the entry "Steel Feet" (Grade B).]

[Congratulations, host, on successfully stealing the self-destruct device (Rank B) entry.]

[Congratulations, host, on successfully plundering and combining the term (Rank C).]

Lin Yeming looked at the displayed entry levels and was somewhat disappointed.

The highest rank is only B, and there's even a C-rank entry, which doesn't quite match the monster's abilities.

It should be at least an A grade.

Could the real essence lie in that enormous mechanical island?

Although that's what he thought, he still held onto the expectation that the entry's description might be even more powerful than his assessment.

Super Horsepower (Class B): Gain an additional 5000 tons of power.

That's it?

Lin Yeming was starting to lose his composure.

This entry is far too hasty, isn't it?

Or perhaps it's too simplistic and crude, but he likes it.

Steel Feet (Rank B): After you leave the ground, your leg attacks increase by 50%.

This is a game with a lot of words, but the entries are still very simple and straightforward.

He likes things that directly increase attack power, but he doesn't like these kinds of restrictive modifiers.

Could this ability description refer to a jumping attack, or even a flying kick?

What steel feet?

Why don't you call it Foshan Shadowless Kick?

Or let's just call it a flying kick.

Self-Destruct Device (Grade B): When you launch a self-destruct attack, the damage is increased by 20%.

Upon seeing this entry, Lin Yeming simply didn't bother to comment.

Although he has the ability to be immortal, self-destructing really hurts.

So, he didn't bother to linger and looked at the last entry.

But the last entry gave him a pleasant surprise.

Although this entry is only grade C, its effect surpasses that of many grade A entries.

This entry can be described as not only excellent, but also with huge potential.

There aren't many entries like this in his biography.

However, there are a few more that can be compared.

For example, terms like "fake death" and "reconstruction".
