Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 490 Dark Faust and Dark Mephistopheles, Another Form of the Evolution Truster

Lin Xiu admitted that he longed for the power of Ultraman and the power of "Nexus".

The power of Ultraman is an irresistible temptation for anyone who aspires to strength.

Although the path he walks leads to the ultimate killing with the "sword," its core is also for the purpose of "protection."

Just as his template source, "Tezuka Kunimitsu," was once "the pillar of Seigaku," he also aspires to become one of the "pillars" that Kumokawa City, and even the entire Daixia, can rely on.

His formidable strength is an indispensable cornerstone for him to practice this belief.

However, what truly made him unable to fully calm down at this moment, and even caused his hand holding the knife to tremble slightly, was not just the power of "Nexus" itself.

The more important reason is the process of "competing" itself!
The thought of clashing and competing without reservation with Gu Che, Lu Jing, Lin Ruoxi, Shen Mo, and other geniuses who stand at the pinnacle of Great Xia under the same rules, each giving their all for that "unique" qualification, ignited an uncontrollable surge of emotion within him!

The excitement he felt when facing powerful figures who were on the same level as him, or even stronger, and the desire to prove his own strength and hone the edge of his blade, was even more attractive to him than simply obtaining a powerful "heavenly treasure".

Although the selection of "fitters" this time is based on the compatibility between "fitters" and "evolution trusters", and the strength of power that can be exerted after ultimately transforming into "Nexus".

It is not a one-sided clash of strength, nor does it require them to fight each other.

But when Gu Che, Lu Jing, Lin Ruoxi, Shen Mo—these are the names that represent the geniuses who stand at the pinnacle of Great Xia—gather together for the same goal, would they just stand there and do nothing?
Lin Xiu was curious about their strength, the power of Devil Fruits, the Eye of God, and the strange fire. He assumed they were curious about him as well, wondering how the "tennis skills" and "selflessness" in the Prince of Tennis world manifested in reality, and their strength.

This is an unspoken attraction between the strong.

Without this curiosity about the other side's strength, it's unlikely that I would have reached my current level of power at this point in time.

Therefore, in such situations, sparring, fighting, and confrontation are almost inevitable!
He might not even need to say a word; the clash of their gazes, eager to assess each other's strength, could ignite a battle.

This is exactly the kind of opportunity he longs for!

He wanted to fight with all his might against those ranked ahead of him on the list of extraordinary individuals; he also wanted to fight against Li Shuyang, Zhou Ming, Fang Yuan and others who were ranked after him but were equally famous.

For him, this was even more appealing than gaining the title of "Evolutionary Trustee" itself.

Of course, this does not mean that his desire to be an "evolutionary believer" will be diminished in the slightest.

If he is strong enough to suppress everyone in a head-on confrontation, then he would never believe that he would lose to anyone in terms of the tenacity and purity of his will!
For him, strength and combat have always been two sides of the same coin, complementing each other.

The desire to clash with the strong is precisely to prove and hone one's own power; and the pursuit of Ultraman's power is also to be able to fight against more powerful opponents in the future and to have the power to protect what one wants to protect.

For him, the two are not contradictory.

He closed his eyes slightly, suppressing the excitement that welled up inside him.

"Then, let's go."

Chaoyang City Tian Shu Bureau, in the rest area of ​​the training ground.

"Can creations at the level of Evolution Trusters be created so easily?"

"It's hard to imagine how far Ye Shen's strength has reached now."

Zhou Ming sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Although they had witnessed Ye Xuan's power firsthand when they encountered the Sloth Bishop not long ago, and had seen Ye Xuan's strength for the first time in a real sense, they had only seen a part of Ye Xuan's power because the Sloth Bishop was too weak.

However, this part also allowed them to witness an ability that Ye Xuan had never shown in public before—the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

However, at that time, Ye Xuan's strength was still within their comprehension, at least that was the norm.

But how much time has passed?
In just a few months, Ye Shen has already been able to create items like "Evolution Trusters" out of thin air.

Although it's not real, its growth potential reaches level eight. What's the difference between that and the real thing?
Most Ultraman characters are like that in their own TV shows.

It doesn't even have the expressiveness to speak for itself.

It's hard to imagine why Ye Shen's strength could improve so quickly; it's simply unbelievable.

However, the most important thing is that this "Evolution Truster" is not a manifestation of the "Rat Talisman", but a "creation" of Ye Shen.

This means that Ye Shen has mastered an ability similar to "fantasy manifestation," and is able to create "treasures of the heavens" to a certain extent.

Although it's unknown what price will be paid, if even "eighth-tier" items can be created, then sixth-tier and seventh-tier items will likely be even easier.

What "treasure of the heavens" gave him this ability? Or is it something that manifests after his own abilities reach a certain level?

Although Ye Shen and they are all humans from the real world, on the path of cultivation, Ye Shen and they seem to be from completely different dimensions. Li Shuyang listened to Zhou Ming's感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including sighs and amusement), glanced at him, and then, as if struck by a thought, a smile crept onto his lips before he spoke:
"Ye Shen's strength is self-evident. No one knows what level he has reached now, and it is not certain that he has even reached the tenth level."

"However, you don't need to worry about this too much."

"As someone who possesses the 'Demon King Muzan Physique,' the compatibility between you and the power of the 'Giant of Light' is simply impossible!"

"Therefore, Fang Yuan and I can handle the selection of 'Evolution Trustee' candidates."

Although Zhou Ming possesses the Kibutsuji Muzan physique, it is a perfect demon king physique transformed by the "Blue Spider Lily," which means he is no longer afraid of sunlight and can move freely in daylight.

Moreover, because the flesh and blood of mutated creatures contain spiritual energy, they do not need to rely on devouring human flesh and blood to maintain their existence, thus breaking free from many of the constraints of "ghosts".

However, the essence of "ghosts" has not changed!
A "ghost" is a "ghost." Even if it doesn't fear sunlight or devour flesh and blood, it is still a "ghost," and its power is the complete opposite of Ultraman's.

Even though this "Evolution Trustor" was created by Ye Shen and is not a true "Evolution Trustor," and there are no restrictions on its use, its core is still "light."

How can something that is inherently "dark" guide, bear, and transform into brilliant "light"?
If it's someone who "trusts in the Dark Evolution," then maybe it's possible.

"."

As Zhou Ming listened to Li Shuyang's words, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly involuntarily.

He had actually thought about this problem long ago, so he was just marveling at Ye Shen's power.

As a result, Li Shuyang directly proposed the concept of "evolutionary trusters".

How is this any different from direct mockery?
Can he just so readily admit that he "can't do it"?

"The so-called compatibility is just a theoretical concept."

"Didn't the announcement clearly state that the 'Evolution Trusters' created by Ye Shen have 'no usage restrictions'?"

"Since there are no restrictions, theoretically, even I, as the 'Ghost King,' should be able to use it!"

"Moreover, light and darkness are not absolute opposites or irreconcilable! Everything in the universe is about the balance of yin and yang."

As Zhou Ming spoke, his voice unconsciously softened.

Especially when he mentioned the "transformation of light and darkness," even he himself felt a lack of confidence and eventually fell silent unconsciously.

Yes, "light" and "darkness" are not completely isolated; theoretically, they can be transformed into each other.

However, such a transformation either involves a fundamental subversion or distortion of the user's beliefs, or it is due to some extreme external erosion or modification.
Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for an entity that is essentially "dark" to guide, bear, and transform into pure light.

Even "Tiga" needs the help of others to transform back into "light", doesn't he?

However, the later conversion is quite simple; you can just replace it with a "magic wand".

However, "Tiga" is an exception and cannot be counted among the normal Ultraman.

Moreover, Ye Shen created the "Evolution Trusters" so that the Great Xia could have more power to protect its people. Since it was about protection, it was natural to choose people with "light" in their hearts who shared similarities with Ultraman.

It's impossible to also consider the "darkness" within, and add the function of "switching to dark form" to transform into Dark Faust, Dark Mephistopheles, or even Dark Zagi, right?
Is it about protecting the Great Xia or destroying it?
The idea was so absurd that even Zhou Ming himself thought it was outrageous.

"Ugh"

Zhou Ming finally let out a long sigh, like a deflated balloon, waved his hand, and completely gave up the struggle.

"Alright, alright, you're right. I, this 'ghost,' am indeed incompatible with 'light,' and can't join in this fun."

He spoke lightly, but deep down, a faint sense of loss and self-deprecation still crept over him.

Yes, he was also a huge fan of Ultraman when he was a child, and he even fantasized about becoming a giant of light and protecting the world.

That yearning is a pure and unadulterated dream of heroism that exists to some extent in the childhood memories of most boys.

Even after growing up and having my edges smoothed out by the realities of life, that yearning for "light" has not been completely extinguished; it has simply been buried deep in my heart.

The dramatic change brought about by the revival of spiritual energy, the opportunity to acquire the "Demon King Muzan Physique," and the responsibility he took on by joining the Tian Shu Bureau all altered the trajectory of his life and rekindled something deep within him, making him no longer the ordinary office worker who was increasingly worn down by life.

However, he was no longer that simple-minded child who was excited only about "becoming a hero".
