Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 478 The Difference Between "Human Host" and "Suitable Person"; Courage, the Hymn of Humanity
Although this area is close to a villa district and relatively sparsely populated, it is not entirely deserted.

The sight of a nearly fifty-meter-tall silver giant appearing out of thin air and then transforming into a streak of light soaring into the sky was witnessed by many people who happened to be in the area.

In an instant, a cacophony of exclamations, screams, and incredulous shouts erupted, shattering the surrounding tranquility:
"Holy crap! What is that?!"

"The silver giant, of course it's Leaf God's Ultraman Tiga, but is it just my imagination? It doesn't quite look like him."

"Of course not. Even with Ye Shen's silver form, Ultraman Tiga is 300 meters tall, so at most he'd only be around 50 meters. How could it be Ultraman Tiga?"

"Take a picture! Quick, take a picture! A new Ultraman has appeared? Is it Ye Shen transforming?"

"Ye Shen is the most likely candidate, but it doesn't feel like Ye Shen; he doesn't have that imposing aura."

Although theoretically most of the power of the "treasures of the heavens" that appeared in Hangzhou could be attributed to Ye Xuan, some of them felt that this Ultraman, Tiga, who Ye Xuan had transformed into before, gave them a sense of oppression from the level of life itself.

But compared to this issue, Ultraman's identity is clearly more important.

"No, the point isn't Ye Shen, it's that Ultraman! Didn't you guys notice what kind of Ultraman he is?"

"What's wrong? Is there anything special about this Ultraman? I don't watch Ultraman very often. I only started watching Ultraman because Ye Shen obtained Tiga's power."

"You haven't seen Nexus? This is Nexus, for crying out loud!"

"Holy crap, Nexus! It's Nexus! I knew this Ultraman looked familiar, it's Nexus! Did Ye Shen obtain Nexus's power?"

"No, this is Nexus, but only in its juvenile form. If it were Ye Shen, it would at least be in its youth form, not its juvenile form. So this isn't Ye Shen."

The appearance of "Nexus" caused a great stir, and they subconsciously assumed that Ye Shen had obtained the power of "Nexus".

Because in their view, if "Nexus" were to appear in reality, then Ye Shen would be the most likely person to be chosen in the entire city of Hangzhou!

However, this "Nexus" is only the juvenile form of Nexus; it is not even the youth form, let alone the blue youth form.

With Ye Shen's power, the "Nexus" he transforms into, even if he can't directly reach the level of "Noah", can't possibly only be in his juvenile form.

Therefore, they ruled out the possibility that this "Nexus" was Ye Shen's transformation.

Even though they still believed that Ye Shen had obtained this power, their reason told them that it wasn't true.

"But if it's not Ye Shen, who else could gain the approval of the Evolution Trusters?"

"Anyone in good health could be a potential candidate, right? Isn't the key point that having good physical fitness is enough to fight monsters?"

"Who told us to waste our lives using Evolution Trust?"

"Evolutionary Trusters do not consume life force; it's just that the injuries of the host are synchronized with the Ultraman's body. But this is actually the case for all human hosts, only Nexus's injury is more severe."

"There's no way around it. No matter what kind of damage Nexus suffers, the host will suffer the same amount of damage, without any reduction. The host's physical strength will be pushed to the limit. Other Ultramen, when forced back into their human forms, will at most be seriously injured, but Nexus will simply die."

One of the biggest misconceptions people have about Nexus is that using Nexus's power consumes life force.

While it is true that "the process of transforming into Nexus using an Evolution Trustee will cause irreversible damage to the candidate's body, resulting in a shortened lifespan," there are actually specialized treatment chambers for recuperation.

However, unlike other Ultraman whose injuries are transferred to their human hosts with some degree of reduction, Nexus does not have this limitation.

Regardless of the type of injury, the fittest will suffer the same amount of damage.

If other Ultraman's red light indicates they've run out of time to transform, then for Nexus, a red light means their human host is about to die.

This is why the human hosts of other Ultramen are called "human hosts," while the human host of "Nexus" is called "the suitor."

However, if you look closely, you will find that the users of "Nexus" did not actually die from using the power of "Nexus".

The reason why each generation of adaptors looks so tragic is because they have found the meaning of their fight and are prepared to fight to the last moment.

Jun Himeya often collapses in pain in the series, his body covered in glowing spots, giving the impression that his life is about to burn out. However, his condition mainly stems from unhealed old wounds from previous battles and the burden accumulated from continuous combat.

Having survived the battlefield as a war correspondent, he was filled with guilt, which made him see fighting as a form of "atonement," thus constantly forcing himself to fight and not giving his body time to recover.

He went missing after a fierce battle with Dark Mephisto, but later events revealed that he was not dead.

Senju Rei is the "son of Prometheus," born with a genetic defect that shortens his lifespan; he also exhibits great pain during battle.

But the root cause of his pain and weakness was his own genetic disease, not the light of "Nexus" that hastened his death.

In fact, the light of "Nexus" slowed down his physical collapse, and he eventually survived after successfully obtaining the treatment drug "Raphael".

Driven by hatred, Saijo Nagi lost her mind and transformed only once. Her light energy was absorbed by Dark Zagi, causing Dark Zagi to revive, but Saijo Nagi herself did not die directly as a result.

Kazuki Komon, as the last and strongest candidate, underwent the trials of all his predecessors and ultimately evolved into Nexus's ultimate form—"Noah".

At the end of the story, although he lost his ability to transform, he was physically and mentally fine and lived a normal life with his girlfriend Riko.

If using Evolution Trustee really does consume lifespan, then Komon, who has experienced the most brutal battles and transformed into his most powerful form, should have paid the greatest price, but that is not the case.

Courage is the hymn of humanity.

Every successor experiences confusion and pain to some extent, and the "light" of "Nexus" is the light that appears when these people yearn for a way out but are forced to give up hope due to dead ends, guiding them to continue searching for the meaning of life.

Nexus is a gentle Ultraman who doesn't need any host to sacrifice their lives for him because the "light" chose them to save them, not to punish them. More importantly, the hosts also chose the "light" and they also yearn for redemption.

The candidate can no longer fight, but still has not been redeemed. This is a tragedy for the candidate and also for Nexus.

He will guide them to find meaning in life.

Meanwhile, as Su Mengyao transformed into "Nexus," she streaked through the sky at Mach 3, hurtling towards the capital.
Wherever it passed, all the high-precision psionic monitoring stations and air surveillance radar arrays belonging to the Tian Shu Bureau in the vast area below almost simultaneously detected an abnormal signal that left all the on-duty personnel speechless!
The alarm sounded immediately, emitting a piercing shriek. The energy reading on the monitoring screen soared instantly, exceeding the daily monitoring limits of many stations. The curve representing energy intensity rose up like a steep mountain peak and was moving horizontally at an unbelievable speed!

Extremely high energy source! Unknown attributes! High-speed movement!
"Report! An extremely high-intensity unknown energy source has been detected! Azimuth XXX, altitude 20,000 meters, speed exceeding Mach 3! And it is still accelerating!"

"What?! Mach 3?! Which city applied to use the spacecraft? I didn't receive any applications here; dimensional beings? But they're not that fast either."

Mach 3 is a speed that even Angel Yan, Angel Zhixin, and Morgana cannot match.

Duanmu Yan's speed is also more than that.

Isn't it the "dimensional life form" they are familiar with?
"The energy radiation characteristics have never been seen before! Extremely pure and active, yet completely undisguised, as if deliberately announcing its existence!"

"What dimensional being descended from which world is so arrogant? Flying through the sky at this speed without even restraining its energy fluctuations?"

"However, the fact that our machines can still receive signals from a distance of over 20,000 meters suggests that this guy is quite powerful."

"Hmph, he's only not weak, how could he possibly be stronger than Duanmu Yan wielding the Thunder Yatalis?"

"Wait, the machine has already captured real-time images; you'll know at a glance."

However, when the real-time images captured by the high-speed tracking instruments, enhanced and blurred by algorithms, were transmitted to the main screens of each monitoring center, all the discussions and speculations came to an abrupt halt.

Silence fell over the monitoring station.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the clearly defined silhouette of the silver giant speeding above the clouds on the screen!

The flowing yet powerful lines, the unique silver-gray main color scheme, the row of striking red crystals on the spine, and the highly recognizable head design with its classical and mysterious feel.
"Nexus? Holy crap, it's Nexus!"

"Jun-nii? Rei? Or Komon Kazuki? It can't possibly be Saijo Nagi, right?"

"Isn't it only the early stage of the spiritual energy revival? It's only been a short time since the second spiritual energy tide. Is it really possible for an Ultraman of Nexus's caliber to descend into reality?"
