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

Chapter 293 Itabashi Mitsuo's Scheme, The Cosmic Snail

Deep within the tranquil shrine, the lingering scent of sandalwood had not yet completely dissipated.

After finishing her daily prayers, the shrine maiden slowly turned around, her clear yet profound gaze falling on Mitsuo Itabashi, who was sitting lazily on the veranda, with obvious reproach in her eyes.

“I remember reminding you that at this stage, we must lie low and patiently search for the vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the human heart.”

The priestess's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable weight: "If you act on your own again, and the TPC, especially if those people notice something amiss, our years of planning could very well be in vain."

Mitsuo Itabashi shifted to a more comfortable position, a nonchalant smile on his face: "You're still being too cautious. With TPC's current technological level, it's simply impossible to accurately identify the energy forms of us Kirieloids. Besides, I've prepared a 'little gift' for them this time, which will definitely not involve us."

The shrine maiden frowned slightly. Although she was dissatisfied with Itabashi Mitsuo's autocratic approach, now that the operation had begun, she had to understand the entire plan so that she could remedy any mistakes in time.

She knelt gracefully before the tea table, took out two exquisite teacups, slowly poured in some tea, and softened her tone slightly: "Tell me, what is your plan?" Itabashi Mitsuo drank the tea in one gulp, smacked his lips as if savoring fine wine, and then looked at the shrine maiden with a mysterious smile, deliberately keeping her in suspense and not speaking.

The priestess sighed helplessly, poured him another cup, and gestured for him to continue with her eyes.

Mitsuo Itabashi then slowly sipped his second cup of tea and said, "I sensed that two cosmic snails were migrating through the solar system. I have already used my mental power to guide a young, curious snail off course and towards Earth."

"A cosmic snail?" A hint of surprise flashed in the priestess's eyes. "That cosmic creature with a gentle name, but whose adult form is extremely powerful?"

"Yes."

Mitsuo Itabashi nodded smugly, “If this little snail suffers any ‘harm’ on Earth, whether it’s an attack by the TPC or simply being trapped in Earth’s environment, its mother, the giant space snail, will definitely not let it go. At that time, a conflict will inevitably break out between the TPC and the enraged space snail.”

He put down his teacup, a glint of conspiracy in his eyes: "No matter which side wins in the end, we can take the opportunity to spread the 'dark side' of TPC, such as 'cruelly attacking harmless cosmic creatures' and 'causing ecological disasters,' and completely shake humanity's trust in TPC."

After all, chaos is our best breeding ground.

"I don't think you'll object to this, will you?"

The priestess nodded and continued, "You're right."

"However, are you sure that giant snail is strong enough?"

Mitsuo Itabashi stood up, opened the window, pointed to the sky, and said, "At this time, the little snail has already entered Earth. Because of the special abilities of their species, TPC has not discovered them at all, and the big snail should be getting anxious."

"She should be searching for little snails in the universe now."

"If they could fight against TPC's Delta Force, that would be the best outcome."

Upon hearing this, the priestess immediately came over.

This guy is still up to something.

They simply can't stay still.

However, this matter should end here; we cannot allow him to continue making moves.

If all else fails, we'll have to assign him to other tasks.

After thinking about it, she realized there was indeed something she needed the other person to do.

"Banqiao, from now on, don't worry about the snails."

"Next, I need you to investigate why Masaki Keigo stopped excavating the Ultraman statue."

"Make sure he activates that statue."

Itabashi Mitsuo paused slightly, then asked in confusion, "Do you intend to continue pushing the plan forward?"

"But didn't you say it wasn't the right time yet?"

The witch snorted coldly and said, "Plans can't keep up with changes. Now more and more aliens are coveting this Earth."

"We must seize control of the Earth before those guys make a move!"

Itabashi Mitsuo was somewhat puzzled. With the abilities of the Kirieloids, there were almost no aliens in this universe who could defeat them. He asked, "Those aliens are nothing but a few tribulations."

"You're right, other aliens are indeed not a threat."

"But what if it's Sphia?"

The priestess smiled faintly.

When Mitsuo Itabashi heard this, his expression froze.

He knew about this alien.

Or rather, it is a special kind of life form.

Although Sphia is no match for the god of the Kirieloids, they are currently unable to defeat him.

However, this Sphia, who had been active in other multiverses and was hunted down for devouring many planets, has now come to this world.

To be honest, the Kirielods and the Sphias do have some conflicts.

They feed on spirits, are immortal, yet require the spirits of intelligent beings, while the Sphias only devour intelligent beings, especially those with great power.

For him, it was a great tonic.

"Since this is the case, I'll listen to you."

"I will investigate."
