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

Chapter 258, one of the three divine artifacts, the Eight-Faced Mirror.

Mitsuo Itabashi paced back and forth inside the shrine, his leather shoes making a dull thud on the wooden floor.

The ancient lantern cast a faint light, illuminating his taut face and creating deep shadows.

His brows furrowed, his lips turned down, and his eyes flashed with unease and anger: "How could a Warp God be here?"

He muttered under his breath, his voice filled with resentment, then slammed his fist into the wooden wall. "Damn it, we have another opponent now."

The amulets on the wall swayed slightly from his impact, but the other worshippers in the shrine seemed completely oblivious to his presence, continuing their prayers and worship in silence.

An elderly woman with a full head of white hair walked right past him, as if he were nothing more than a wisp of air.

Keiko Onuma stood beside the shrine, holding ritual implements, her brows slightly furrowed, but she did not speak to stop Itabashi's actions.

Her long black hair was tied into a solemn bun at the back of her head, and the red and white of her shrine maiden outfit stood out in the dim shrine.

She understood her companion's concerns, especially after learning that Aenemena was about to arrive.

After the ceremony concluded, the worshippers gradually left.

The shrine gradually quieted down, with only the occasional soft creaking of the wooden structure and the clear ringing of wind chimes in the distance.

"Mitsuo." She finally spoke softly, her voice as clear as a mountain spring, exceptionally distinct in the silence of the shrine, "Calm down."

“This is a shrine, and your emotions will affect the stability of the barrier.” She put down the ritual implements and walked towards the agitated Itabashi.

Banqiao stopped, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down: "I'm sorry, Keiko."

"But you also know what this means?"

“Every time Aenemena appears, it brings disaster. Now that it has appeared on Earth, it is probably coveting something on Earth.”

"This is very detrimental to our plans!"

Keiko Onuma walked to the shrine, took out an old wooden box, and carefully opened it.

Inside the box was an ancient mirror, its surface old yet still gleaming: "The Yata no Kagami, one of the Three Sacred Treasures, has sensed the fluctuations from another dimension." Her fingers lightly stroked the mirror, and the widening rift in space immediately appeared in the mirror. "Einermina will indeed affect our plans."

Keiko's lips curled up slightly, a calculating glint in her eyes: "However, this impact may not necessarily be bad."

Banqiao approached, gazing at his reflection in the mirror, his eyes reflecting the shimmering light on the surface: "So? You have a new plan?"

"That's right. Based on this information, I have already informed the believers that they should not go out for the foreseeable future, or disaster will occur."

"No, this is not a declaration, but a divine decree!"

Keiko replied, her eyes hardening, “The reason we have so few believers now is because we lack an opportunity.”

She turned to Banqiao, her eyes gleaming with ambition: "When faced with a crisis, humans are always more likely to seek spiritual solace."

“The emergence of Energia will make more people aware of the limitations of science.” Her voice was deep but powerful. “When TPC’s weapons are no longer able to combat this supernatural existence, people will turn to the gods for protection.”

Banqiao's expression shifted from worry to thoughtfulness: "So you mean...we can use this crisis to strengthen our followers?"

Keiko smiled and nodded, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "That's right." Her fingers lightly traced the edge of the Yata no Kagami. "When fear sweeps through the city, when science is powerless to deal with it, our shrine will become a refuge, and our teachings will be accepted by more people."

The image in the mirror changed again, showing that the crack in space had suddenly disappeared.

It was as if it had never existed, but the image in the mirror kept changing.

Keiko's eyes narrowed slightly: "It seems that Aene is about to make her move..."

Her voice carried a mixture of excitement and nervousness: "Our plan can now proceed."

However, Mitsuo Itabashi was still puzzled.

He glanced at the image in the mirror, then focused his gaze on Keiko Onuma's face: "Your plan is excellent, but aren't you afraid those two won't be able to defeat the demons of the subspace?"

Then, as if he had thought of something, his voice suddenly rose: "Do you want me to help them?"

Upon hearing this, Keiko let out a soft laugh, as if she had heard some innocent question.

She put down the Yata no Kagami, turned to face Itabashi, and her eyes gleamed with unfathomable wisdom: "Mitsuo, don't you understand?" She walked slowly toward him, her red and white shrine maiden robes appearing especially sacred in the dim light. "Whether Enemi wins or loses, it will be advantageous for us."

Her fingers gently traced a row of amulets: "If the Ultramen defeat Enermina, we can claim that the gods have protected them, that our prayers have worked." A sly glint flashed in her eyes. "But if they fail, people's panic will be even more intense, and their dependence on the gods will be even stronger."

Banqiao suddenly realized, but a hint of uncertainty remained on his face: "But if Aeneas really destroys the Earth, then..."

“Then it’s time for us to make our move. When the gates of hell open, we can simply guide humanity in.” Keiko calmly continued, her tone carrying a chilling calmness. “But I believe it won’t come to that. Aenemena doesn’t want to destroy the Earth; it’s just looking for something.”

"What is it?" Banqiao asked curiously.

Keiko pointed to the Yata no Kagami: "The mirror shows that Enomina is particularly sensitive to energy sources, and his special ability is countered by a weak monster." Her voice became even lower, "And such a monster has already appeared in Japan."

"If my guess is correct, Aenea will definitely appear in Japan."

Mitsuo Itabashi nodded: "It seems that your idea is correct."

"This Yata no Kagami is really useful."

"I'm already looking forward to the other divine artifacts."

The Kirieloids have lived on Earth for so long that they know the beliefs of this world and what items can greatly attract the attention of believers.

In Japan, it is one of the Three Sacred Treasures.

In China, there are even more unique props.

For example, the Nine Tripods, or the Imperial Seal of the State.

Most importantly, their gods had the ability to imbue those objects with special powers.
