"Based on the available intelligence, this is indeed a possibility."
The female secretary, who was already used to this, remained silent, but quietly moved closer, seemingly wanting to help Masaki Keigo massage his head.
"No! I can do it myself!"
He reached out to stop his female secretary's intimate behavior, clearly showing his disapproval.
"Tell me something I don't know right now!"
Seeing Masaki Keigo's serious expression, the female secretary pouted in slight disappointment, but ultimately did not dare to delay important matters.
"According to our own intelligence network, the birth of that strange bird, Sira, is actually inextricably linked to Zilda gas..."
"The reason why Dr. Nezu was sent to our base is partly due to the agreement and tacit understanding reached between the hawks and doves within TPC."
"But on the other hand, the doves also want to use us to protect Zilda Gas from being taken away by the strange bird Sira."
He is the only human within TPC who has mastered mechanical monster technology and has even risked creating mechanical giants.
Masaki Keigo's existence is extremely conspicuous even in the eyes of the doves.
"Simply put, they've also set their sights on the Georzak we have?"
Masaki Keigo couldn't help but frown. He hadn't expected that the dove, who was known for his "peace," would be interested in mechanical monster technology.
"Could it be that something is happening on Earth that I don't know about?"
Besides, Masaki Keigo really couldn't understand why that group of "hypocritical" doves would suddenly be so interested in the technology to create mechanical monsters.
"By the way, how's the investigation going with the Extraterrestrial Alliance and New City Zeff?"
Unable to understand it any longer, Masaki Keigo simply stopped thinking about it and asked about the situation that he had his female secretary investigate for a long time.
"We haven't found any useful clues from the Extraterrestrial Alliance yet."
"The only thing that can be confirmed is that Tetsuo Shinjo was able to become TerraLoyd's human form because he was possessed by some mysterious alien."
"This would explain why Shinojo Zhefu lost his memory and why he was unable to respond to Terra Lloyd afterwards."
Upon hearing this, Masaki Keigo remained surprisingly calm.
Now, Terranoyd is merely a plan that Masaki Keigo has brought to the forefront in order to demonstrate his own worth.
What he truly desires now is the imposing and resolute figure that Tiga displayed during his battle with Gypsy III.
In comparison, the artificial giant Terraloid was merely a poor imitation.
"Our priority should be finding the alien who possessed Tetsuo Shinjo..."
"It was a crucial opportunity, an opportunity that allowed me to become 'light'!"
With a burning flame of ambition blazing in his eyes, Masaki Keigo would never give up any opportunity that might allow him to become a Titan.
"Understood, I will have my men expand the search scope."
Masaki Keigo's will was the direction the female secretary was striving for, so she nodded in agreement without hesitation.
However, after saying this, the female secretary showed a slight hesitation.
"President, what about Terranoyd...would you like to go check on them again?"
“The giant statue showed another ‘abnormality’ yesterday, and this time it was even stronger than before.”
"It looks...like it's responding to some kind of call."
The female secretary thought her boss was great in every way, except that he was a bit too much of a perfectionist.
Even though the revival of the giant statue was just one crucial step away, he decisively gave up the possibility of becoming Terranovid's human host because of Tiga's performance.
"Has another 'abnormality' occurred?"
Slightly narrowing his eyes, Masaki Keigo, seemingly already aware of something, murmured something softly.
"Can you detect the location of this 'anomaly'?"
The female secretary, who knew these details by heart, nodded decisively and gave a more detailed address.
"Just like before, it's a special coordinate system in the middle of the Pacific Ocean."
"According to the information provided by the Victory Team... that place seems to be also known as the 'Ralleya Ruins'."

Chapter 614 The Artifact of Light
Inside the Terranoyd base, at the very center of the underground plaza.
This is a huge underground space, so huge that it doesn't feel like you're underground at all.
A massive steel frame structure supports the entire space, with various advanced equipment and instruments placed in every corner.
Dr. Nezu, upon entering this place for the first time, was immediately captivated by the enormous stone statue in the center of the underground area.
"That's... Terranovid!?"
Even before arriving here, Dr. Nezu knew that this was a semi-military base specifically responsible for research on the artificial giant project.
But when Dr. Nezu actually saw the giant stone statue that had been restored by humans, he was overwhelmed with shock.
Especially next to the giant stone statue, there is the "light particle converter" that was built entirely with human technology.
Anyone who sees that thing for the first time will be unable to help but exclaim in amazement.
It was a purely technological creation, a "divine artifact of light" crafted with human power.
In theory, as long as the "light particle converter" is provided with enough energy, it can provide the giant statue with an inexhaustible source of energy.
According to the report that Dr. Nezu had seen beforehand, this "light particle converter" is currently able to instantly generate unlimited light energy comparable to that of a space-based solar power station.
The only pity is that the revival of the giant statues seems to require more than just a huge amount of energy.
At least according to the publicly available information, the giant stone statue in front of us, named "Terranoid," has only briefly come back to life once.
As for how Terraloid was revived?
Why did it eventually turn back into a stone statue?
Perhaps only Masaki Keigo, who was in charge of the entire project, knew the truth.
"Doctor, you do not have permission to approach this area."
Following cautiously behind Dr. Nezu, the assistant who was specifically responsible for receiving him promptly offered a reminder.
Director Sawai's decision to send Dr. Nezu to this base was indeed intended to counterbalance the militant faction and Masaki Keigo.
However, it cannot be denied that this appointment was indeed a punishment for Dr. Nezu.
Therefore, Dr. Nezu was not qualified to enter these classified areas until he formally accepted the appointment from the TPC leadership.
"It's okay, I'll just stand here and take a look."
Dr. Nezu, who had long since become indifferent to power struggles, nodded knowingly.
For Dr. Nezu, whose days were numbered, his curiosity about Terranovid far outweighed his desire to study it.
tumultuous!
Just then, the giant stone statue not far away suddenly emitted a black light.
The next second, the light in the entire underground space seemed to be swallowed by darkness, presenting a strange yet terrifying scene.
"Uh... is this normal?"
Unable to resist turning to ask his little follower behind him, Dr. Nezu's expression seemed hesitant to speak.
The anomaly that suddenly appeared on the giant statue was not recorded in the files given to Dr. Nezu.
"This is not normal..."
He quickly lowered his head and the assistant promptly began to explain the current situation.
"It started about three days ago that the giant statue began to emit this dark light from time to time."
"No one knows why this phenomenon occurs; even Dr. Masaki cannot explain it."
After a pause, the follower continued.
"However, Dr. Masaki detected some kind of unusual signal by detecting this 'abnormal light frequency'."
"The giant stone statue... seems to be responding to some kind of call."
His words revealed a faint fear and unease, which the follower felt meant that some kind of danger was about to befall them.
Unfortunately, his voice carried little weight, and with Masaki Keigo selectively ignoring this phenomenon, the lackey had no idea what kind of call the giant statue was actually responding to.
"Calling?"
Dr. Nezu lowered his head thoughtfully, ultimately deciding not to dwell on the matter any further.
Ultimately, I have absolutely no right to get involved in this matter.
Dr. Nezu is now more concerned about the storage of Zelda gas than the anomalies appearing on the giant statue.
According to Dr. Nezu, he actually wanted to destroy the Zelda gas directly, which would also eliminate the possibility of the monster bird Sira attacking the base again.
Unfortunately, just like the anomaly that appeared on the giant stone statue.
Dr. Nezu is not qualified to make the decision to destroy Zlda gas.
Before darkness descends and as crisis gradually emerges, neither the hawks nor the doves of TPC Takagi will ever give up researching the ability of Zelda gas to create monsters.
If it weren't for the fact that the strange bird Sira has long since escaped TPC's surveillance and is now hiding in an unknown volcano somewhere in the Pacific Ocean...
Dr. Nezu had no doubt that the higher-ups at TPC would send out those legendary mechanical monsters, capture them, and keep them under guard.
......................................................................................................
At the same time, the black pyramid ruins beneath Kumamoto City.
"The giant statue has 'moved' again?"
In this specially folded subspace, Lu Xuan's figure appeared out of thin air.
At this moment, Lu Xuan's appearance was somewhat blurry, and his voice seemed to come from all directions.
"Yes, someone is summoning the statue again."
Zhizi's icy voice echoed throughout the space, and a beam of intense light instantly shone on the giant stone statue not far away.
Just like Terranoid on Masaki Keigo's side.
The giant stone statue, which Lu Xuan had collected and which had never been activated, was now emitting a strange light.
"They really are a bunch of persistent ghosts..."
As if he had expected this, Lu Xuan simply sneered.
"The Earth today is not the Earth of 30 million years ago; there is no place for them to live here anymore."
"Since our opponents have repeatedly provoked us, it would be too lenient of us not to respond."
Lu Xuan had known for half a month that a group of unknown beings had crossed the atmosphere protected by the Lightning Man and appeared on the Earth's surface.
At the time, he didn't really take those unknown entities to heart.
It wasn't until Zhizi reported that the unknown beings seemed to possess some kind of power that could shield them from her surveillance.
Lu Xuan then realized that the unknown being might be someone he knew.
"Zhizi, has the 'selection mechanism' of this stone statue been successfully cracked?"
When Lu Xuan asked her questions, Zhi Zi showed her reliability as always.
"Through the allocation of resources during this period, the 'Laplace's Demon Intelligence Center' has successfully deciphered the giant statue."
"Next, we only need to make a few more slight changes to truly awaken Him."
