Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 352 Oma Zi-O is actually myself

Her voice was choked with sobs, filled with barely suppressed emotion, "Please...please help me! I want to know where my father is, no matter the cost!"

Lin Yu looked at the girl who was bowing deeply in front of him and did not immediately agree.

He stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Taking people back to the past isn't out of the question."

He said slowly, "However, time travel is a very troublesome thing. We can't interfere too much with the past, otherwise it may affect the present timeline and cause unpredictable consequences."

Actually, there isn't one.

If it really affects the timeline, he can just travel back in time to the point in time he didn't travel back in time, right?

This is the confidence that the wheelchair-bound time-space realm gives Lin Yu.

Looking at the entire Arcane universe, there seems to be no more unsolvable spacetime ability than this, except for those Showa era monsters who filled in the mechanics with their feet.

They've started using PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics.

If Takayama Gamu were here, he would frantically shake Aobe Megumi's shoulders: Wake up! Girl! This man is in a karaoke bar with you!

He paused, then added, "And, to be honest, I'm also very curious. Where did your father go?"

Although Kazuma Asuka also disappeared into the light, it was clearly stated that he merged with the Light of Dyna and traveled around the universe to level up.

Your father... he couldn't have just been dissolved out of thin air, could he? That's neither scientific nor mysterious.

Oh no, not necessarily.

Maybe it really is dead. For example, in episode 5 of Omega, it was clearly written that the monster was eating people, but for artistic purposes, the scene was not shown.

Seeing the hesitation on Lin Yu's face, and then looking at Emi who was almost burying her head in the ground, Hiruma Gento had a sudden thought.

He knew this was Huimei's only chance.

He also understood that someone as unfathomable as Lin Yu wouldn't help others without a reason.

To gain something, you must pay the corresponding price.

Gento took a deep breath, stepped forward, stood next to Huimei, and said in a deep voice, "Lin Yu-sang, I know this request is presumptuous. But, if... if you are willing to help Huimei find out the truth about her father's disappearance."

He raised his head, staring intently at Lin Yu, his eyes filled with an unprecedented seriousness and determination.

"Then, I, Gento Hiruma, am willing to grant you one request. If your world encounters trouble in the future, just ask, and I will definitely help. No matter what kind of enemy we face, I will fight alongside you."

This was the most solemn promise he could make as a man and a captain.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Hiruma Gento with some surprise.

He originally just wanted to tease the girl and satisfy his curiosity, and he was sure he would help her. He didn't expect to have such an unexpected reward.

A "summoning ticket" for Ultraman Blaze?
This deal is incredibly profitable!

Once you've entered my world, you can choose to stay or leave.
That's not up to you then.

Do you really think I, a human trafficker from the multiverse, am a pushover?
Ancient times, parallel worlds, the Land of Light, native monsters—I've tamed them all, why would I be afraid of a little savage like you?
"it is good!"

Lin Yu slapped his thigh, all hesitation vanishing from his face, replaced by a hearty smile. "Deal. Just for Captain Hiruma Gento's words, I'll definitely help you with this."

He waved to the two of them and said with great enthusiasm, "Then let's not delay any longer, get in the car. I'll take you on a spontaneous time travel trip to the 66th test facility of the Space Equipment Research Institute in Gifu City on September 9, 2020."

boarding?

Gento and Emi exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

This is the tarmac. There are only airplanes and ground support equipment around. Where did the car come from?

Just as they were wondering what was going on, a deep whistle suddenly rang out on the empty tarmac.

hum-

The space rippled like the surface of water.

A futuristic-looking, silver train, shimmering with metallic luster, tore through the boundary between reality and illusion, appearing silently before the three with a slight flicker of electricity.

The front of the train still had a scratch mark that was clearly caused by something, which looked particularly out of place on the smooth body of the train.

Huimei stared in shock, mouth agape, at the train that looked like it had stepped out of a science fiction movie, speechless.

When Hiruma Gento saw the train clearly, especially the familiar scratches on the front of the train, he froze.

Yesterday, the mysterious train that pierced the sky and was struck by the beam of light from Taganura.

Before Nexus appeared, it was the only unidentified flying/ground-going object.

He and Huimei, almost simultaneously, pointed at the train and exclaimed in astonishment, as if they had seen a ghost:

"So that car that got scratched yesterday... was yours too?!"

Lin Yu shook his head helplessly at the two men's expressions of utter disbelief.

"Don't just stand there, get in the car, get in the car."

Lin Yu waved to the two of them, and the car door slid open automatically with a "hiss," revealing the futuristic interior.

"Time is precious, we must hurry."

Gento and Emi, like puppets whose souls had been ripped out, exchanged a dazed glance, mechanically took steps, and boarded the train.

The interior of the car was much more spacious than it appeared from the outside. Soft light streamed down from the ceiling, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

Before the two could take a closer look, the car door behind them clicked shut.

Just as the car door was completely closed.

As if struck by an electric current, Hiruma Gento jolted violently, his pupils dilating in shock.

"Maru spicy!"

He let out a piercing scream.

Almost at the same moment, Aoibe Megumi next to her also seemed to remember something terrifying, and she slapped her forehead with both hands, her face turning deathly pale instantly.

The two looked at each other again and saw the same apocalyptic despair in each other's eyes.

"us……"

Huimei's voice was trembling.

"...I haven't asked for leave yet!"

The string player continued the second half of the sentence, his tone filled with the sorrow of a corporate slave.

The captain of an SKaRD detachment, a top intelligence analyst, without reporting to his superiors, followed a man of unknown origin onto a train of unknown origin, preparing for a time travel of unknown origin.

This is no longer a matter of unexcused absence.

This was definitely a disappearance, and could even be classified as defection. The thought of Commander Genkawa and Chief of Staff Haruno sent a chill down their spines; they felt their careers had come to an end.

It's over now.

"What's the fuss about?"

Lin Yu's voice came from not far away, interrupting the two people's wails.

He was leaning against a futuristic-looking bar, his posture as relaxed as if he were in his own living room.

"It's no big deal, it's just skipping work."

He casually took out three bottles of chilled soda from a refrigerator under the bar, skillfully pried open the caps with his fingers, making a crisp and pleasant "pop" sound.

He tossed two of the bottles over.

"Here, calm down. Relax, the journey is short, we'll be there soon."

Gento and Emi hurriedly caught the drinks, looking at the familiar red logo on the bottle, unsure of what expression to make for a moment.

skip class?

Boss, this is called unauthorized absence from duty, which is punishable by a military court!
Before they could say anything more, a slight tremor suddenly came from the entire train.

The view outside the window began to become distorted and blurry, as if seen through a layer of rippling water.

The chaotic power of spacetime, like golden mist, enveloped the entire train.

Gento Hiruma instinctively rushed to the window, only to see the train slowly lifting off the ground, defying the laws of physics, and beginning to climb vertically into the dark night sky.

The tarmac grew smaller and smaller, and the city lights converged into a dazzling galaxy beneath our feet.

Finally, the train broke through the clouds and disappeared into the deep, golden mist that seemed to connect to the origin of the universe.

"This...this is..."

Huimei also moved closer to the window, looking at the bizarre and wonderful scene outside, and was completely speechless.

She saw a "river".

A boundless river composed of countless points of light.

Each point of light is like an independent world, flashing with different scenes, different histories, and different possibilities.

The train they were on was like a small boat, sailing upstream in the vast river of time.

"Is time... a real river after all?"

Hui Mei murmured to herself, her worldview, built on physics and cosmology, was being brutally beaten, crushed, and then reshaped by the miraculous scene before her eyes.

"Isn't it said that time is just a spacetime distortion effect under a strong gravitational field? Why... why can it be reversed like this?"

She felt like her brain was about to burn out.

As a genius who skipped a grade at MIT at the age of 17, she felt for the first time how poor and ridiculous her knowledge was.

"Theory is used to explain phenomena. When phenomena exceed the scope of theory, it means that the theory needs to be updated."

Lin Yu took a sip of soda.

Just then, a pleasant announcement came over the train's loudspeaker.

"Ding-dong—Next stop, Gifu City, September 9, 2020. Passengers getting off, please prepare to disembark."

The train slowly slowed down, and the rushing river of time around it gradually disappeared.

The golden mist outside the window dissipated, replaced by a lush, verdant forest.

The train smoothly emerged from the void and landed silently.

"Snap—crash—"

A series of sounds rang out as trees snapped in two.

The train came to a stop unscathed, but a path made of broken trees had been carved out in front of the locomotive.

Huimei looked out the window at the beautiful trees that had been snapped in half by the impact, and a look of heartache appeared on her face.

Lin Yu noticed her gaze and waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't worry, this is a small matter and won't affect the historical process of this timeline. As long as we are not discovered by the key figures of this era, we can do whatever we want."

He stood up and stretched.

"Alright, we've arrived at our destination. Now it's up to you."

The car door slid open, and fresh air rushed in.

Lin Yu stood at the door and said to the two of them, "Remember, our goal is to find out the truth about your father's disappearance. Don't cause any trouble, and don't try to contact the counterpart in this timeline, as that will trigger a very troublesome chain reaction."

He glanced at Hiruma Gento.

"Especially you, Captain Stringman, understand?"

Hiruma Gento subconsciously pointed to his face, then nodded heavily.

He understood that if his counterpart in this timeline saw another version of himself, who knew what would happen?

The two stepped off the train. Huimei skillfully took out a pair of red-rimmed glasses and a uniform from her small bag, and then quickly completed her disguise. Her whole demeanor changed drastically, transforming her from a capable intelligence expert into an ordinary-looking female secretary.

She glanced at the captain beside her, about to remind him to also put on an act.

But she noticed that Hiruma Gento simply straightened his collar and walked calmly toward the base gate not far away.

"Team...captain?"

Huimei was stunned. "Aren't you going to pretend?"

Gento Hiruma turned around, his face displaying a complex expression that mixed helplessness, frustration, and a subtle hint of pride.

"I do not need."

He pointed to his face.

“I’ve been here for three years. With this face, I can walk into this base openly and honestly.”

Huimei: “…”

Lin Yu: "Happy."

This feeling is exactly the same as that "Hail Hydra" line from the movie?

Watching the two enter the base, Lin Yu stroked his chin, feeling that he was becoming more and more proficient at this kind of time travel operation.

I am a dead person who transcends time and space, traversing the past and the future. So, I am actually Oma Zi-O?
