Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 115 Elbow, Come with Me to Work Overtime

The thought of the phrase "Jing Tian Jing Long" made Lin Yu's lips twitch slightly.

We just fought together as comrades, and then I completely forgot about them.

Not only did they forget, they also razed the home that had been guarded for four hundred years, along with the entire mountain, to the ground.

This isn't just crossing the river and then destroying the bridge; it's dismantling the bridge, filling in the river, and then building a public toilet on top of it.

He's not human; he didn't do anything human today.

The thought that Jing Tianjinglong's lonely soul might still be on that ruin, staring blankly at a crater several kilometers in diameter, searching for his small temple that had long since turned into molecules, made Lin Yu feel as if his conscience had been gnawed away by Gedi.

Mount Suna no longer exists.

Instead, there was a huge basin several kilometers in diameter and bottomless, with the soil at the edge still retaining the glassy color purified by the dazzling Zepelion light.

The TPC's yellow warning tape completely surrounded the area, where countless researchers in white protective suits were carefully collecting samples. Searchlight beams swept back and forth across the basin, as if searching for a miracle left by the gods.

Standing in the shadows of a distant mountain peak, Lin Yu looked at the familiar scene of the private event and felt a pang of conscience.

For him, sneaking into such a place was a piece of cake.

Its figure silently blended into the shadows, and with a few flashes it passed through all the blockades, landing silently in the very center of the basin.

He closed his eyes, and the power of the Renlong Dragon sank into the earth with his will, sensing every inch of the land's memories.

Soon, he found his target.

He walked to a pile of rubble, reached out and beckoned, and two rusty broken swords flew out of the ground and landed in his palm.

Lin Yu gripped the knife handle and shook it vigorously, as if it were a bottle of flat cola.

"Senpai? Ida-senpai? Are you still there? If you are, please let me know!"

"Ahem, Your Excellency... could you please be a little gentler with a four-hundred-year-old man?"

A semi-transparent, somewhat helpless phantom slowly emerged from the broken sword.

It is the soul of the great swordsman Ida Iryu.

He first looked around blankly at the "former residence" that had been completely razed to the ground, then his gaze fell on Lin Yu, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"As expected, you are no ordinary person."

Ida Iryu exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Such great power can probably only be possessed by gods in mythology."

"You flatter me. Being called a god is too kind of me." Lin Yu scratched his head awkwardly.

Jing Tianjinglong smiled with relief and bowed deeply to Lin Yu.

"The demon Sukuna has been vanquished, and Saigoku has also been slain by you. My obsession with guarding this place for four hundred years can now be put down. Thank you for allowing me to be free. I will now retire and enjoy... uh, enjoy the peace of death."

As he spoke, his figure seemed to dim further, as if he might vanish into thin air at any moment.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu panicked and grabbed the broken sword. "No! Senior, you can't leave!"

The phantom of Jing Tianjinglong was taken aback and looked at him in confusion: "What do you mean by this, sir?"

"The Earth is still in danger, and humanity needs your power to protect it!" Lin Yu said righteously.

Jingtian Jinglong was even more confused: "With such a powerful god as Your Excellency guarding us, what help can my mere, broken soul possibly offer?"

Lin Yu's lips twitched violently, and a smile that looked more like a grimace appeared on his face.

Yes, if there really was only one Earth, how wonderful that would be.

"Haha." Lin Yu couldn't hold back any longer and chuckled dryly. "Yeah, one Earth would be enough! But that's not the problem! The mess left behind by the ancient civilization, the various monsters and demons on this Earth itself, the alien Earths that keep popping up, and that alien beast that's spreading viruses all over the universe—tell me, which one of them doesn't need me to deal with?"

Even Iida Ryu couldn't hold back any longer; his weathered face was filled with astonishment. "Wait, wait! What do you mean, sir..."

"That's right! Overtime!"

Lin Yu said decisively.

OK OK.

Jing Tianjinglong was completely bewildered by this rhetoric. "I've been dead for four hundred years, thinking I'd settled all worldly affairs. I never imagined I'd be dug up from my grave to work overtime after I'm gone! No, I'm dead! I really am a dead man!"

He felt that his worldview had been completely overturned four hundred years after his death.

Seeing his utterly shocked expression, Lin Yu smiled kindly and approached him step by step.

The phantom of Jing Tianjinglong subconsciously retreated step by step.

"Senior Great Swordsman, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, just tell me. I'll do whatever it takes to make them happen for you."

Lin Yu's smile grew even brighter. "In any case, you have to stay here and help me protect this world!"

"Your Excellency, this is not right..." Before Jing Tianjinglong could finish speaking, Lin Yu had already grabbed the two broken swords.

Without further ado, a golden light flashed in his palm, and the power of spacetime surged instantly, completely refining the physical form of the broken sword in an instant, leaving only the purest spiritual core that carried the soul of Jing Tianjinglong.

Refined in an instant, and refined in another instant!
Immediately afterwards, a powerful, warm, and life-filled force of the earth flowed continuously into Lin Yu's palm.

"This, this is..." Jing Tianjinglong was astonished to find that his originally thin and dim soul phantom was rapidly solidifying under the nourishment of this power. "The power of the earth is so familiar."

He murmured to himself, a memory that had been sealed for four hundred years was awakened: "It seems that four hundred years ago, when I was on the verge of death in my childhood, I received a blessing from the world and awakened these eyes that can see through yin and yang and slay evil spirits."

Lin Yu was delighted upon hearing this.

Ha! So you're one of those veterans who got dragged out of bed by Mother Earth to work overtime too.

My apologies! No wonder this process looked so familiar; it turns out we were former colleagues!

It's just that this colleague relationship spans a rather long period of time.

Jing Tian - Former Colleague - Jing Long: "..."

He no longer knew what expression to wear when facing this self-proclaimed junior deity.

Soon, with the completely defeated Jing Tianjinglong in tow, Lin Yu arrived at the church where Maya was.

The church remained peaceful and serene, with warm sunlight streaming through the stained glass windows, casting dappled patterns of light.

Maya was sitting at the piano when she saw Lin Yu come in. She stood up and gave him a gentle smile.

"I knew you could win."

Her voice was like heavenly music, carrying a reassuring power.

"Just lucky, just lucky." Lin Yu scratched his head, feeling a warmth in his heart.

He shook the core of the broken sword in his hand, which had turned into a ball of light, and explained the situation of Ida Iryu.

As he explained, Jing Tianjinglong's already solidified soul emerged from the sphere of light. He curiously surveyed this completely unfamiliar environment; everything from the piano to the chandelier was beyond his comprehension.

Finally, his gaze fell on Lin Yu, and he interrogated him with an even more certain tone: "Still say you're not a god!"

　I'm writing the next one, it'll be done soon.
