Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 163 One every ten minutes, 144 a day: The birth of a legendary overtime king.
Daigo looked at Lin Yu's smug expression, as if saying, "I can finally go home." Although he didn't quite understand what he was saying, he was still infected by Lin Yu's emotions and couldn't help but laugh.

Regardless, Lin Yu was a partner who fought alongside him, and his happiness meant that things were moving in a positive direction.

Just then, Daigo's GUTS communicator on his waist suddenly emitted a rapid "beep" sound.

He quickly answered the call.

"This is Megumi Kijima," the captain's calm and serious voice came through the communicator. "Emergency situation. Delta Space Station reports that a giant, bird-like monster never before seen has been spotted over the South Pacific Ocean, in the waters off New Zealand."

"It is orbiting the Earth at an extremely high speed, and according to its trajectory calculations, it will soon reach Japanese airspace! The GUTS team must intercept it immediately!"

"understand!"

Daigo's smile vanished instantly, replaced by the professionalism and seriousness typical of a GUTS member.

He turned to look at Lin Yu, a hint of apology on his face: "I'm sorry, Lin Yu, I have to return to the team immediately."

After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and ran towards Sherlock's car.

Lin Yu stood there, the smile on his face not yet completely gone, but he seemed to be frozen in place, stunned.

I'm blanching? What the heck?

A giant bird-shaped monster?

An ominous premonition loomed over him like a dark cloud.

Masaka, could it be...?
He subconsciously raised his hand and, using the unconnected communicator he had previously obtained through connections with Da Gu, silently connected to the Victory Team's communication network.

A clear satellite image taken by the space station appeared in his hand in an instant.

It was a ferocious-looking black demon bird with wings that blotted out the sky, emanating an ominous dark aura that was visible to the naked eye.

Lin Yu's pupils dilated the moment he saw the picture, and he froze, unable to think any further.

He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Isn't that the ancient vanguard monster Zoga?!
Daigo's figure had long since disappeared at the edge of the forest, leaving Lin Yu alone, bewildered in the wind.

He remembered.

He recalled the "brilliant" idea he had come up with in the ancient timeline when he faced the endless Zoga hordes, in order to relieve the pressure on the giants.

He used the Time-Space Boundary to pack up all those countless evil demonic birds one by one, and then threw them all into the future timeline like garbage.

To prevent them from clustering together and causing too much trouble in the future, he also very "thoughtfully" set a ten-minute release interval for each Zoga.

And that so-called "future timeline".
It's now!
Lin Yu's face instantly turned green.

He stiffly raised his head, looked up at the sky, and seemed to see his past self, who was now smugly performing some crazy tricks.

An unnamed fire shot straight to the top of his head.

"Damn it, Lin Yu, what a mess you've made!"

"Why not just pack them up and seal them away in that chaotic spacetime?"

"Since we've already sealed off an entire Gatanothor family bucket, what's wrong with throwing in a few more zorgha? There's plenty of room, isn't there?"

"It's fine to give my future self a headache, why bother with my present self? I just got off work!"

Lin Yu grew angrier the more he thought about it. In the end, he even clearly saw a figure from the distant future, also making crazy complaints, in his mind.

Future Lin Yu: Hey, thank you so much! Past me!
He was completely speechless.

He had planted the landmine himself, and now it had exploded. At this moment, he severed ties with his past self through the sacred separation.

In short, the blame lies entirely with that guy called "Lin Yu of the Past," and has absolutely nothing to do with "Lin Yu of the Present."

Lin Yu sighed deeply, finally accepting this cruel reality.

Well, I have to deal with the mess I made, even if it's painful.

He did a quick calculation: one every ten minutes, six per hour, and one hundred and forty-four per day (twenty-four hours in a day).

If left unattended, the Victory Team's precious planes would probably all be totaled within a day, and Shinjo and Daigo, the ace duo who crashed their planes, would probably not even have time to sleep.

The thought of the endless Zoga inside, and the fact that he had to deal with it every ten minutes, filled Lin Yu with a look of utter despair.

How long are we going to have to work overtime?
If another super offensive were launched, wouldn't the entire defense line collapse?
Even without the offensive, this might take a year to defeat Zoga.

One year!
One every ten minutes. Luckily, he now possesses the power of the Renlong, allowing him to replenish his stamina while standing on the ground without it dissipating. But isn't this frequency a bit too high? He's pushing the battle waves to over a hundred a day in one go. Who can withstand that?

He raised his hand and gestured towards his neck.

"Gu, kill me."

"I really, really don't want to work overtime anymore."

That being said, his body language betrayed him.

With a resigned wail, his figure instantly transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky and hurtling towards the South Pacific Ocean. The South Pacific Ocean.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty, damp scent, caressed the calm surface of the sea. However, the scene in the sky was anything but peaceful.

A chaotic, multicolored ripple of spacetime, like an unhealable scar, hangs ugly in the sky.

At this moment, three enormous Zoga roared and flew out of the rift, circling high in the sky. Their presence dimmed the surrounding light.

Lin Yu's figure appeared silently on the surface of the sea.

He glanced at the "monster exit" he had created himself in the sky, his lips twitched violently, and he cursed the "past Lin Yu" who had made him work overtime a hundred times in his mind.

After he finished cursing, his gaze involuntarily drifted to the unfathomable blue sea beneath his feet.

Deepest down, beneath the seabed, submerged by endless silt and seawater, long forgotten by the world.

Bunny Girl Camilla.jpg
It's Luluye.

He knew that Camilla was inside.

Lin Yu's thoughts drifted back to not long ago.

At that time, he had not yet traveled to the ancient era; he only discovered the Ruins of R'lyeh for the first time while investigating clues about the Dark Giants.

As a result, he was captured on the spot by Camilla, who had just awakened.

The black-haired woman looked at him with a gaze he couldn't understand, a mixture of love and hate, and said that she had been waiting for him for 30 million years, guarding him through endless darkness and loneliness.

At the time, he believed that history could not be changed and that he was just a passerby.

He was scared.

So, without hesitation, he went back in time and ran away from R'lyeh a few minutes before he was captured, since all he needed was the Dark Spark Lens.

Camilla never appeared again after that.

But now it seems he was wrong.

The course of history was indeed altered by his arrival.

It was he who betrayed that woman's waiting.

Thinking of this, the intense resentment Lin Yu felt about working overtime was unconsciously dispelled by a more complex emotion.

Should we go see her?
Shall we go now?
He asked himself that question.

In the end, Lin Yu shook his head, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

Let's work overtime first.

I can't let her see me fighting monsters in this disheveled state.

Once all of this is resolved, I'll use my most dashing manner to bring her out of her 30 million years of loneliness.

The moment he made up his mind, Lin Yu's eyes became sharp and determined again.

This time, he did not touch the familiar magic wand.

Since we're going to help Noah, that old man, level up, let's use his power.

He slowly raised his right hand and took out the silver, short sword-like device from his pocket.

Evolutionary believers.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sea a brilliant gold, and also gilded it with a sacred glow.

Lin Yu raised the Evolution Trustee high in his hand, and the Will of Light within him resonated with it without reservation.

He let out a roar that resounded through the heavens and earth at the three demonic birds circling in the sky.

"Nexus!—"

A dazzling light erupted!
A massive V-shaped beam of light, composed of light particles, shot up from his body and pierced through the clouds.

Amidst the light, a majestic body, entirely silver in color, was rapidly taking shape.

Muscles, bones, armor, and finally, pure particles of light flowed slowly down his body like a shower of light.

Its streamlined figure exudes power and beauty, with the V-shaped energy core on its chest shimmering with a magnificent rose-red glow, like a dancing star.

When the light faded, a silver giant, fifty meters tall, stood atop the golden sea.

Ultraman Nexus, in his baby form, has arrived!

　Why is my Camilla bunny girl image taking so long to be approved? Ugh! I've also posted one in the comments; if you can't see it in the main text, you can check the comments.
