Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 307 Life Lessons from the Cane-Walking Alien

Inside the café, there was a deathly silence.

The air was no longer filled with the rich aroma of coffee, but with an almost solidified atmosphere called "absurdity".

Takayama Gamu's mouth was slightly open, and his brain's processor seemed to have burned out due to information overload.

He tried to understand the logic in Lin Yu's words, but every thought eventually slid into a bottomless vortex of paradox.

If we lose, Earth will be saved.

If we win, the Earth will be saved.

So what exactly is all that they're doing now? A grand and tragic stage play orchestrated by the future? Are they the actors, the Destruction Bringer is the director, and the ending of the script was written from the very beginning?
No, no matter what, the Destruction Summoning Body is always winning, so wouldn't we lose everything?

This is a bit too much.

Fujimiya Hiroya felt as if the sky had fallen.

"So...it's true..."

Fujimiya Hiroya's voice trembled as he slumped back into his chair, his eyes unfocused. "The conclusions of quantum computers are not a conspiracy, not a lie... they're true..."

He struggled to break free from the guilt of being "used by the enemy" and finally convinced himself that his initial choice was wrong.

But now, this man is telling him that he was right from the beginning?

Then what did he do afterward? He gave up Agul's power, he watched humanity struggle, he tried to sacrifice himself—what was all of that? A laughable act of self-pity?

"what about me?"

Fujimiya Hiroya suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Lin Yu, his voice hoarse, "What am I? I once tried to destroy humanity to protect the Earth. I was the first to see the truth, wasn't I?"

"But then I doubted myself; I was the real sinner. I betrayed the earth, and I betrayed humanity!"

He completely broke down, clutching his hair in anguish and letting out a low growl like a trapped beast.

Takayama was startled by his appearance. He instinctively wanted to comfort him, but found that any words would seem pale and powerless at this moment.

Lin Yu sighed.

He slowly put down his coffee cup, picked up a small spoon, and gently tapped the rim of the white porcelain cup, producing a crisp sound that drew the attention of both of them.

"No, you've missed a crucial point."

"They are not heroes who saved the past from the future, and you are not a sinner."

Let me give you an example.

He put down the spoon and placed his hands on the table, crossed. "If Earth were a patient, very ill, almost in the ICU, the future will of Earth would be that anxious family member who, after reading the diagnosis, discovers that the only treatment is amputation."

"And the Destruction-Inducing Entity is a future family member who travels back in time, armed with a saw, ready to take action."

Lin Yu's gaze swept across the two faces.

"Their goal is simple: to save patients, even if it means leaving them disabled. From this perspective, their behavior is self-consistent."

"But humanity is that leg that's going to be sawed off."

"In other words, you are to be eliminated, understand?"

Lin Yu's voice suddenly turned cold, "Now, can you still empathize with that doctor?"

Takayama Gamu and Fujimiya Hiroya both stiffened at the same time.

"Are you just going to stand by and watch your own people, your own civilization, be completely wiped out, and then do nothing, and even say 'thank you' to that guy with the saw?"

"However, there is another possibility before you."

Lin Yu's tone softened again, "A completely new possibility that allows patients to recover without amputation."

“You are the attending physicians of this era.” Takayama Gamu’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun.

Yup!

Is the future predetermined? No! The future is a collection of countless possibilities! The Destruction Entity originates from only one of the worst possible futures!
If there exists a future where humanity and the Earth can coexist harmoniously and move towards prosperity together, why can't they create it themselves?
"I understand!"

Takayama Gamu slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and his eyes blazed with renewed fire. "We're not putting on a show for others! The meaning of our fight is to prove that humanity is not a virus, that we can find a way to coexist with Earth, and that we will create a better future... one that doesn't need the Destruction Bringer to 'save' us!"

Lin Yu nodded approvingly, "This child is teachable."

Then, his gaze turned to the still silent Fujimiya Hiroya.

"how about you?"

Lin Yu asked, "You once loved this planet more than anyone else, even going so far as to transform into a demon for it. Now, you see another possibility for saving it. What do you plan to do?"

"Continue to sit here, wallowing in self-pity, lamenting your ill fate, and then watch helplessly as I, Meng, go alone to challenge that script called 'Perfect Ending'?"

Fujimiya Hiroya fell silent. The madness in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a deeper sense of confusion and self-doubt.

Simply put, the child had just been discharged from the hospital when it was discovered that his condition had worsened.

"I……"

What else can he do? He has lost Agul's power; he is now just an ordinary person.

What right does he have to talk about protection?

He lowered his head, his voice barely audible, "I'm not qualified... to talk about protecting..."

Lin Yu's lips twitched.

The case is solved. You're just like Hikari, always saying I don't have that much power, that we're all Blue Clan, and that we all know how to use lightsabers. You want to unlock the main password SV Agul too, don't you?

When dealing with rebellious children whose adolescence seems to drag on indefinitely, we must take strong measures.

Damn, wait a minute, this kid is older than me!

Why do I feel like I'm some kind of life coach?
Lin Yu picked up his coffee and took a sip, but in his mind he was ranting and raving.

Since that's the case, then this punch must be really hard, enough to make him cry.

"Who said you're not qualified?"

Lin Yu countered, "Who denied your qualifications?"

"Myself!"

Fujimiya excitedly raised his head, "I've lost Agul's power, and this is proof!"

"wrong."

Lin Yu interrupted him sharply, his voice not loud, but like a heavy hammer blow to Fujimiya's heart, "It wasn't the light of the sea that abandoned you, it was you who denied yourself. It was you who pushed Agul away with your own hands."

Lin Yu leaned forward slightly, looking directly into Fujimiya's eyes.

"Do you think you piloted your spaceship into the wormhole to atone for your sins?"

"No, you are not atoning for your sins, you are just running away."

"You are running away from your mistakes, from the fact that you have hurt my dream and the earth. You are running away from the responsibility that comes with regaining your power. You think that death will wash everything away and bring you liberation. That is your truest thought."

"What you fear is not the mistakes you've made, but the fear of admitting that everything you firmly believe in is fundamentally wrong. Your so-called 'protection' is nothing but a kind of paranoid self-satisfaction. You dare not face the world that has become worse because of your mistakes, so you choose to escape, choose self-destruction, and use the cheap excuse of 'atonement' to cover up your cowardice."

"You coward."
