Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 116 Demon Slayer
Lin Yu's lips twitched, and he completely gave up on explaining.

He handed the orb of light to Maya, who temporarily placed it on the shrine in the church.

Looking at his "new home" that had turned into a ball of light, Iida Ryu sighed: "In my current state, even without the physical form of the sword, I can still put up a fight. However, the sword is broken, and I can never regain its former power."

"If a physical sword breaks, why can't it be reforged using a spiritual blade?"

Lin Yu suddenly had an idea, "Think about it, just like that guy, shouting 'The day the broken sword is reforged, the knight returns,' and then the broken sword inexplicably turns into a magnificent sword, how cool would that be!"

Jing Tianjinglong's eyes lit up: "Great idea! Theoretically, as long as my soul is strong enough, I can indeed condense a spiritual blade with my will!"

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Eh!"

He discovered that since entering the church, faint yet pure, faith-like forces were converging from all directions, nourishing his soul.

"This is... incense?"

He exclaimed in amazement, "Since becoming a soul, I have been able to see the so-called power of incense offerings, and it seems that I can even absorb them to restore myself."

Lin Yu was taken aback: "What incense?"

He followed Jing Tianjinglong's gaze and then fell silent.

In a corner of the church hall, rows of miniature shrines spontaneously built by believers had appeared at some point. There were small memorial tablets, miniature torii gates, and all sorts of other items.

At the very center of those shrines, what the believers worshipped with the utmost devotion were—plastic toys of Ultraman Tiga in various poses.

He wasn't mistaken; it was one of those soft vinyl Tiga figures that cost tens of yuan in stores, with paint that was even slightly overexposed, now being placed properly in the shrine, enjoying the purest blessings and faith.

Lin Yu fell into a long silence.

After a long silence, he finally uttered a complex sigh: "Humans..."

Immediately afterward, like a cat guarding its food, he turned around and hissed at Jing Tianjinglong, saying, "I'll spread your heroic deeds right away, and I guarantee that people will worship you in the future! In short, these are mine, and you're not allowed to steal any!"

Looking at his appearance, Jing Tianjinglong smiled helplessly: "Please rest assured, sir, I am upright and honest, and I do not take anything unjustly."

The two exchanged a smile, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Jing Tianjinglong sighed inwardly, thinking that this deity was indeed a rare existence in the world.

The light in his heart, which is believed in by so many people from the bottom of their hearts, must be far beyond what people can imagine.

If I could be bathed in this light, perhaps one day I could truly attain Buddhahood on the spot?
He then shook his head, his eyes hardening.

Whether one becomes a Buddha or not is not important.

"Even if I am dead, as long as I still have the strength to fight, I will fight to the last moment to protect humanity."

He spoke softly, as if making a vow to himself, “It was because of this awareness that I embarked on that most dangerous path of exorcising demons four hundred years ago.”

After all, he is... Demon Slayer!

Inside the church, Lin Yu stared at the great swordsman's soul who called himself "Demon Slayer," his mind racing with calculations.

New team member, Jing Tianjinglong.

Position: Spiritual Great Swordsman.

Advantages: Possesses a ghostly body, immune to most physical attacks, appears and disappears without a trace, and is unpredictable. It has the unique ability to kill spirits, and can also communicate through dreams and telepathy, making it a master of intelligence gathering and psychological warfare.

Disadvantages: Currently, it has no physical form; the blade, formed purely from soul power, is probably not even strong enough to trim a monster's toenail.

Lin Yu stroked his chin, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a worthwhile deal.

Those tough, heavy-skinned creatures naturally have him, the "ox and horse," to take the hit, but often, the real trouble doesn't come from the front.

For example, there might be lurking parasites, or aliens who enjoy using mental attacks. The existence of Iida Iryu perfectly fills this gap in his knowledge.

"Senior, besides being able to kill other ghosts, what other functions does your soul state have?" Lin Yu asked curiously.

Inside the sphere of light, Jing Tianjinglong remained silent for a moment, seemingly processing his new ability: "I can sense that I can attach myself to certain objects and transmit my thoughts to specific people. If the other party is restless, perhaps... I can even enter their dreams." "Enter their dreams?"

Lin Yu's eyes lit up. "That's great! If you encounter any troublesome enemies in the future, just go to their dreams in the middle of the night and tell them that their house collapsed and their wife ran away with someone else. Let them experience what it means to be a villain in society!"

Iida Iryu's soul sphere flickered noticeably, as if he were choked by this unusual line of thought: "Your Excellency, this action... seems to violate the code of the samurai."

"What Bushido? You think you can reason with those guys who have no sense of martial ethics?" Lin Yu waved his hand. "To deal with thugs, you have to use methods that are even more thuggish than thugs!"

He suddenly remembered something, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.

He rubbed his hands together and chuckled at the ball of light: "Senior, have you ever thought about changing your body?"

"What do you mean by this?"

"Think about it, you are a pure soul now, while some giants of light are light themselves and need a suitable host to carry them. Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be a physical body. If I find you a suitable body of a giant of light, for example... one of those blue giants that comes with a lightsaber and looks really cool when wielding it."

Lin Yu patiently persuaded, "You, a great swordsman of four hundred years, paired with a lightsaber that can cut through iron like mud, that scene, tsk tsk, is simply incredibly cool."

He could already picture Iida Ryu controlling Agul or Nexus in his youth form, holding a sword in one hand and striking the "Swallow Return" starting stance.

When the time comes, you won't even need to lift a finger in a fight. Just place the giant there, shout, "Go! Ida Iryu!"

It feels like catching a Pokémon.

It would be best to equip him with a Red Ridge, then he could probably solo even the Black Dragon King. The sight would be too beautiful for him to bear.

perfect!

Jing Tianjinglong's soul sphere fluctuated violently, clearly indicating that this senior's worldview was undergoing an unprecedented shock.

Fighting with the body of a god? This isn't just outrageous; it's mythology coming to life.

Seeing Ida Izuru deep in thought, Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Plan passes.

three days later.

The weather was clear and cloudless.

On an unnamed mountainside, Lin Yu lay sprawled on the grass, basking in the sun, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth.

Since the awakening of Renlong's power, he has felt an intimate connection to the earth. He can clearly sense that deep within the land beneath his feet, there are energy veins flowing endlessly like blood vessels.

Ley Lines.

The Earth's consciousness told him that he could inject his power into the earth and create his own "dragon veins" at the ley lines.

He's been doing this for the past few days.

"Sigh, this work is too slow." Lin Yu turned over, like a salted fish drying in the sun, to continue.

He felt like a network administrator, responsible not only for maintaining the servers but also for personally laying network cables. The creation of this "dragon vein" was much longer than he had imagined.

But the benefits are also obvious.

He could feel that as long as he stood in this area that he had personally "modified," the recovery effect and power amplification of the Renlong Power were much stronger than in other places.

"Isn't this just like the buff tiles in the game?" Lin Yu thought to himself. "Stepping on a tile doubles your attack power and restores health every second. The street demons in Teamfight Tactics are definitely experts."

But a new problem arose.

"Can I take this thing with me?" He pulled the foxtail grass out of his mouth, sat up, and frowned. "What if I go on a business trip to another planet in the future, and there are no ley lines under my feet, and the internet connection is cut off? Wouldn't my 'world protection' be completely useless?"

He doesn't want to become the next "I dream".
