Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 159 I'm waiting for you

It was a scene that words could not describe.

The entire sky had transformed into a shattered mirror, and in each fragment, a different world, a different time, was reflected.

Dinosaurs were running, glaciers were melting, and futuristic cities rose from the ground only to turn into ruins in an instant.

Countless timelines were forcibly pulled out and woven into a boundless giant net, tightly enveloping the thousands of enormous Gatanothors, along with the darkness they represented.

Lin Yu's figure stood at the center of this chaotic storm; he was the absolute ruler of this spacetime realm.

Using his own existence as an anchor and sacrificing his own power, he forcibly stripped this cursed darkness from the real world!
"Tiga!————"

Camilla let out a heart-wrenching scream. Without thinking, she transformed into a pure white streak of light, following his retreating figure as she rushed towards the distorted chaos.

She couldn't let him go alone!
However, just as she was about to touch the edge of that chaotic realm, an irresistible, gentle yet resolute force suddenly repelled her.

boom.

Camilla tumbled to the top of the pyramid in disbelief, reaching out to gaze at the chaotic realm that seemed so close yet so far away.

She couldn't get in.

That place had become Lin Yu's exclusive battlefield, an absolute domain that rejected everything except him.

She could only watch.

Watching that seven-colored ball of light swallowing the sky, twisting and spinning wildly.

It is expanding, as if it wants to swallow the entire universe.

But it is shrinking; all colors, all space and time, all energy are collapsing madly toward the very center.

Camilla knelt on the ground, stunned. She forgot to breathe, forgot to think, and all the sounds of the world seemed to fade away from her.

In her eyes, all that remained was that sacred scene that was heading towards its end.

Finally, when all the light and chaos converged to their extremes, the seven-colored light that had enveloped the entire world suddenly contracted inward.

No sound.

There was no explosion.

And so it transformed into a point of light more dazzling than the stars and purer than a diamond.

Then, the point of light flickered.

Disappeared.

Along with the thousands of Gatanothors, along with the darkness that could devour the world, along with the man named Lin Yu, they all vanished without a trace from this ancient world.

The sky returned to its original indigo blue.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Dead silence.

Absolute silence.

Camilla slowly, very slowly, raised her hand and opened her palm.

There was nothing there.

She remembered how, not long ago, amidst the ruins of this city, he had rescued her from the darkness, and then, mustering her courage, she had given him a kiss.

At that time, she thought she had grasped the light, grasped the happiness that spanned thirty million years.

But now...

"I didn't hold your hand..."

She murmured absentmindedly, her voice hoarse and unlike her own.

A single, glistening tear slid from her beautiful purple eyes, landing on the cold stone slab and shattering into pieces.

“We clearly…”

She couldn't bring herself to say anything more.

The space where the heart should be is now empty.

It was as if something of utmost importance had been brutally ripped away, leaving only a bloody, unhealable void, into which the cold winds of despair howled.

Collapse can happen in an instant.

However, just as her consciousness was about to be swallowed by endless sorrow and despair, a memory that she had deliberately forgotten, yet was all too familiar to her, flashed through her mind like lightning.

That belongs to another time and space, the story of a human named "Daigo" and Ultraman Tiga.

The final holy war.

She remembered that at the end of that story, Tiga did not disappear.

After defeating the imposter Camilla, he returned to the light and to the human world.

He will be back!
Camilla's body jolted, and a faint light rekindled in her dim purple eyes.

No, there's still a chance! She remembered what Lin Yu had once said.

"Saigang's curse has already thrown the entire spacetime into chaos."

“Wantonly destroying history will lead to the collapse of the future.”

She suddenly raised her head and looked around.

Beneath the pyramids, the surviving giants of light exhausted their last strength the moment darkness receded, turning back into cold stone statues scattered among the ruins.

Yu Lian, along with the dozens of surviving humans, looked at the sky with sorrowful faces. Their civilization, their home, everything they had, had been destroyed in this catastrophe.

The ancient civilization is now defunct in name only.

Camilla suddenly felt a profound and inexplicable realization.

It turned out to be the case.

History, it turns out, is a circle.

Lin Yu did not destroy history; he simply used a more tragic and resolute method to push history back onto its proper course.

Gatanothor's "family bucket" was sealed away by him in a chaotic spacetime unknown to anyone.

What is the essential difference between this and their sleeping presence at the bottom of R'lyeh, awaiting their awakening 30 million years later?
In the final war, ancient humans reached their zenith, burning everything they had, ultimately leading to the extinction of their civilization. Only Yu Lian remained, a single spark awaiting their future revival.

All of this matched her memories of history perfectly.

Apart from……

Camilla lowered her head and looked at herself.

Aside from himself, the only variable who shouldn't be standing here as a giant of light.

She got it.

She still has a historical mission that she must complete.

Otherwise, the future remains uncertain. Everything Tiga has done will be meaningless.

Thinking of this, Camilla slowly stood up.

The sadness and despair on her face receded like the tide, replaced by an unprecedented, rock-solid determination.

She glanced at Youlian and the others one last time, without saying goodbye or uttering a word. She simply turned around resolutely, transformed into a beam of white light, and flew towards the deepest part of the R'lyeh Ruins.

That place was once the throne of the Dark Giants.

When she landed in the cold underground temple, everything was exactly as she remembered.

On the left and right sides of the temple, two huge stone statues stand silently.

That was Darramb, with Hitler.

Their power has long been absorbed by their past selves, leaving only these empty shells, silently recounting that dark, crazy, and obsessive era.

As Camilla looked at the two familiar stone statues, she suddenly remembered that classic scene from the movie "The Final Holy War".

Darram was on the left, and Hitler was on the right.

And I am right in the middle.

She remained silent for a long, long time.

Finally, she took her first steps, one by one, until she reached the center of the temple, the spot that belonged solely to her.

She took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and a poignant yet relieved smile appeared on her face.

"It's just thirty million years of loneliness."

"I'll be waiting for you, Ultraman Tiga."

She paused, as if remembering something, and her smile gained a touch of tenderness and sweetness.

"No...you said your name is Lin Yu now."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you, Lin Yu."

The moment she finished speaking, the holy white light emanating from her body began to gradually recede and dissipate.

In the space of light, her snow-white and delicate skin began to show stony textures, and her silver hair, as bright as moonlight, lost all its luster and became stiff.

The reflection on the surface is of Camilla, the Giant of Light, gradually turning to stone.

The breath of life was rapidly draining from her body.

In her final moments before turning completely to stone, she used her last ounce of strength to leave her voice in this eternal silence.

"You must come find me, Lin Yu..."

The sound echoed for a long time in the empty temple.

Then, silence fell.
