They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 279 Scientists are all hand-crafted transformation devices

Within the ruins deep underground in Kumamoto
Masaki Keigo's gaze fell upon the spectral analysis and molecular structure diagrams on the screen. These were fragments of the other two giant statues inside the Pyramid of Light besides Ultraman Tiga, as well as samples of the Impaler and Gedi statues that he had extracted.

What he was thinking about was the problem that had long troubled him.

From physical structure to molecular composition, from crystal lattice arrangement to isotopic ratios, all the test results indicate that these stone statues are made of exactly the same material.

"If the materials that make up the 'body' are all the same, then what is the reason that they exhibit such different abilities after being materialized?"

Masaki Keigo muttered to himself, "It's like using the exact same bricks and cement to build three completely different buildings: a church, a factory, and a prison. What makes this difference is the architectural blueprints and the designer's will."

He had been trying to find out the reason behind this, and had even used a light particle converter to shine on the stone statues, but to no avail.

That is, until Camilla appeared and handed the black magic wand to Daigo.

He suddenly had a new idea.

Masaki Keigo shifted his gaze from the data stream to the energy excitation platform in the center of the laboratory.

The jet-black, strangely shaped magic light stick lay quietly within a specially designed energy constraint field.

"Let's begin the experiment!"

Masaki Keigo took a deep breath and then gave the AI ​​a command.

"【Activate the Max Power System, adjust energy output to 30%.】"

"[Energy flows through Converter No. 3 and connects to the activation port of the Dark Light Rod.]"

"Activate the high-precision fluctuation detection device to record all energy forms and escaped particles."

As the command was given, a deep rumble came from deep within the research lab—the sound of the miniaturized Max power system starting up.

The surging energy, like a flood, flowed through the thick energy pipes towards the platform in the center of the laboratory.

hum-

The moment that pure energy came into contact with the Dark Light Rod, a sudden change occurred.

The light in the entire laboratory seemed to be snatched away by an invisible hand, and the brightness instantly dropped several levels.

The temperature in the air suddenly dropped, bringing a bone-chilling cold.

Unlike ordinary light sticks, the Dark Sparkler did not emit a dazzling light. Instead, it resembled a miniature black hole, greedily devouring the incoming energy.

Strange dark red patterns appeared on its surface, accompanied by a wave that was completely opposite to light!

This fluctuation was invisible and intangible, yet it carried a chilling sense of oppression.

Masaki Keigo remained unmoved, controlling the energy to illuminate the remains of the giant stone statues.

He had been trying to find light with light, like trying to find sunlight in broad daylight with a flashlight, and naturally he found nothing.

This dark fluctuation, however, is like a perfect curtain, which should be able to clearly highlight the light!

Just then, something incredible happened.

Affected by this dark fluctuation, the stone fragments that were originally dull and unresponsive under various high-energy scans suddenly... lit up from the inside!
It is not light stimulated by external energy, but rather a faint light that seeps out from its deepest, most fundamental source.

Although the light was very faint, it really did appear!
"really!"

Looking at that light, Masaki Keigo's breath hitched slightly, and his eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

The blueprints he had been searching for finally appeared...

The breakthrough from zero to one is often the most difficult.

Once that barrier is broken, the rest is just a matter of time and calculation.

He immediately used his privileges to access all the remaining fragments of the giant statue stored in the top-secret warehouse and extracted samples from them.

On the holographic screen in the research lab, a complex stream of information composed of countless photons flickers, like miniature galaxies slowly rotating in virtual space.

This light information encoding is the giant's genetic information...

This confirms Masaki Keigo's initial conjecture.

The giant's body is indeed a "projection" of a higher-dimensional life form into the three-dimensional universe.

Just like a person standing in the sunlight, casting a shadow on the ground.

Therefore, the "materials" that make up the shadows—that is, the stones that make up the statues—are essentially similar.

But the reason why a shadow is this person's shadow and not someone else's is because it has a unique connection with the subject.

This connection is what he successfully extracted as "light"!
The Spark Lens, in its true function, is to transform the spiritual and life energy of Daigo and others like him, whose bloodlines flow with ancient genes, into a key sufficient to "activate" this connection.

However, the size of humans alone is not enough to support a life form as great as a giant, which is why stone statues are needed as a medium for "projection".

"The way life information is stored...is completely different from that of carbon-based life."

Masaki Keigo looked at the separated photon information and fell into deeper thought.

The genetic information of carbon-based life forms is stored in the double helix structure of DNA, while the life information of these photon life forms is stored in each photon.

This is somewhat similar to the nature of [Chakra] that he had previously studied.

However, they have key differences.

Chakra, or the fruit of the Divine Tree, retains complete life information in every part of its energy. However, this "light" must be formed by the complete aggregation of all photons carrying memories to constitute a complete "life consciousness".

The absence of any part will result in incomplete information and prevent the formation of effective awareness.

That's why he and Daigo instinctively received some of the fighting methods and techniques when they transformed for the first time.

It did not come out of thin air, but rather absorbed the "memory of light" that remained in the stone statue and belonged to the giant's own body.

The two broken statues in the Pyramid of Light have had their "light" preserved relatively intact precisely because they were never activated.

Having understood the principles, the next step is application.

"Although we lack the corresponding ultra-high precision machining equipment, who said I need the equipment?"

Masaki Keigo smiled, picked up some fragments of the giant statue, and walked to the widest area of ​​the laboratory.

He then raised the transformation device and transformed into a human-sized Impaler.

He spread out his enormous palm, aimed it at the stone statue fragments, and mobilized the energy within his body.

Within this light, matter began to decompose and recombine, eventually transforming into the shape of a magic light stick.

A few minutes later, the light faded.

Masaki Keigo looked at the Spark Lens in his hand, then dialed Daigo's number.

He immediately called Daigo to inform him of the matter.

"Mr. Masaki!"

An hour later, Daigo appeared and excitedly greeted him.

He never expected that in less than a month, Masaki Keigo would actually change his transformation device back to normal.

"I have helped you regain your strength."

Masaki Keigo nodded and then handed over the Spark Lens.

Daigo took it and looked at the Spark Lens he had lost and found again, feeling quite excited.

However, the next moment, he noticed the black magic rod on the table in the center of the laboratory.

"This……"

Daigo was taken aback and looked at Masaki Keigo.

He had previously thought that the other party had modified this based on it, but Camilla still had the Dark Spark Lens she gave him. Could it be that the other party remade it?
But isn't this technology from an ancient civilization?

"Oh, I need to study this for a while, so I can't give it to you yet."

Following Daigo's gaze, Masaki Keigo saw that Daigo was looking at the Dark Spark Lens, understood, and then offered an explanation.

"Um... then I won't disturb your research any longer..."

Upon hearing this, Daigo scratched his head, once again marveling at Masaki Keigo's genius.

He clearly has ancient genes, so why isn't he this smart?

But... finally we can continue fighting...

With that thought in mind, Daigo gripped the Spark Lens tightly and then left.

After completing this task, Masaki Keigo turned his attention to his research.

Replicating the Spark Lens is just the first step.

The real technological breakthrough lies in the study of the "light" extracted from those two broken stone statues.

Keigo Masaki successfully stored these photon information streams in a stable data form within a specially designed quantum storage container.

Based on this, he began to work on improving his transformation device.

Its appearance basically retains the style of the light stick, but a brand new module has been added to the original light particle converter - the [Information Loading System].

For carbon-based life forms, the alteration and enhancement of abilities requires a long and arduous process of training.

Long-distance running can improve muscle endurance and cardiovascular fitness, while sprinting can enhance explosive power.

Whether you specialize in one thing or switch directions, it requires a significant time investment to reshape your body.

But for a quantum life form like Ultraman... the rules are completely different.

By loading different 'information', the form and power emphasis of the Giant of Light can be fundamentally changed during transformation.

This principle is similar to how Ultraman Tiga can instantly sacrifice some speed in exchange for power, transforming into a powerful form, depending on the battle situation.

It's entirely the same whether you sacrifice some power for agility and become an aerial type.

He made this "form switching" possible through technical means.

Just as he was completing this research, he received a letter from Ryosuke Sanada.

The news was simple: the prototype of the Ebloon armor was complete...
