Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 364 Guarding
Lin Yu looked at the red dots on the sensor that were scattering in fear, and a pleased smile appeared on his face.

This is probably the joy of a farmer's harvest.

His figure disappeared and reappeared again and again.

In the depths of the ocean, inside a volcano, in the ruins of a city, in the frozen polar regions.

Each appearance is accompanied by a devastating beam of light or a crushing punch that obliterates everything.

One after another, small and medium-sized alien beasts were completely wiped out of the world before they could even react.

That wasn't a battle; it was a one-sided, efficient, and outrageously efficient massacre.

At this moment, the roles of hunter and prey are completely reversed.

one day one Night.

When Lin Yu's figure reappeared above the village guarded by the Mirror Warriors, the red and silver light on his body seemed to be stained with a visible layer of bloody aura.

The extremely fierce aura made the survivors from the twelve strongholds who had just gathered below tremble with fear, not daring to even breathe.

Even the twelve towering Mirror Warriors felt their crystal cores tremble slightly as they looked at Lin Yu's body.

They are stupid.

They had protected this planet for nearly a century, fighting countless battles against alien beasts, and had never seen such terrifying warriors.

In just one day and one night, the evil aura that permeated the entire planet and made them uneasy day and night actually... disappeared.

It disappeared completely.

Lin Yu's tall figure slowly landed on the ground. He glanced at the dense crowd, whose faces were filled with tension and awe, and then felt the almost depleted energy in his body. He smiled helplessly.

"It's all settled."

His voice, transmitted clearly through thought, entered the minds of everyone present.

After a brief silence, a deafening cheer erupted from the crowd.

"Won!"

"we won!"

"Long live the Guardian Deity!"

People embraced and wept, turning centuries of pent-up fear and despair into tears of joy.

Lin Yu stood firmly on the ground, but his brows furrowed slightly.

He could sense that after dealing with all the alien beasts, the will of this planet was awakening, and a faint energy was slowly flowing into his body from the earth's veins, replenishing his energy.

But... it's too slow.

The response time was so slow it was almost negligible.

But enough is enough.

As the light faded, Nexus's towering figure slowly dissipated, turning into countless points of light.

A humanoid figure silently descended from the spot of light, its feet gently touching the dusty ground.

Lin Yu exhaled, feeling his muscles protesting.

"I'm actually starting to feel the strain. Is this the price of using teleportation so frequently?"

He muttered to himself, stretching his stiff neck, "Sure enough, even using Musou mode consumes mana."

As soon as he landed, the cheering crowd around him fell silent. Everyone looked at him from afar with a mixture of awe, respect, and curiosity.

A "human" who can transform into a giant of light is beyond their limited imagination.

In the eerie silence, a small, thin figure pushed through the crowd and ran toward Lin Yu.

It's that little boy named Ah-Zhun.

A smaller girl with two pigtails was following closely behind him, pushing hard against Ah-Zhun's back and whispering something to urge him on.

Ah-Zhun blushed, stopped a few steps away from Lin Yu, and then suddenly bent down and gave a perfect 90-degree bow.

"sorry!"

His voice was loud and clear, with a slight tremor, "I shouldn't have pointed a weapon at you! I... I thought you were a bad person!"

Lin Yu couldn't help but chuckle at his serious demeanor.

"It's nothing, you did the right thing."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "When you're unsure of someone's identity, staying vigilant is the best way to protect yourself. You should do that."

Ah-Chun looked up, his face full of surprise, as if he hadn't expected such a response.

Seeing this, the little girl behind him nudged him again. Only then did Ah-Zhun come to his senses and hand over a water pouch that he had been carefully holding in his arms.

"Here... this is for you. It's very clean water."

Lin Yu looked at the water bag and then at the expectation in the eyes of the two children. In a world where water sources are polluted, such a bag of clean water is obviously not cheap.

He didn't refuse, reached out and took them, smiling as he ruffled the heads of the two little ones.

"Thanks."

Just then, the twelve crystal giants also moved.

Their massive bodies shimmered with light, rapidly shrinking at a visible speed until they transformed into twelve warriors, each as tall as a human, with agile physiques and composed entirely of crystal, standing silently before Lin Yu.

The Mirror Warrior at the head, the one who had communicated with Lin Yu before, nodded slightly to him.

[Thank you for your hard work, warrior from another universe.]

"It's alright, just a warm-up."

Lin Yu waved his hand, his face remaining calm and composed, and then turned his gaze to the twelve Mirror Warriors, "I have a question. Are there any other members of your race besides warriors like you?"

"Yes," the leading Mirror Warrior replied. "Our Mirror Clan has over a million members."

Lin Yu was shocked.

A million? Good heavens, isn't that far more than the Mirror Knight who fought alone in later generations? This is practically an all-out effort.

However, the universe is too vast.

The Mirror Warrior's voice held a deep sense of helplessness: "Our brethren are likely scattered across various star systems, protecting the planets where life still exists."

He remained silent for a moment, and a trace of sadness seemed to appear on his crystal-like face.

According to our clan's tradition, a life-bearing planet should be protected by only one warrior.

But here...

He surveyed the land, now spared from destruction, and the hopeful humans around them. "This is the last known life-bearing planet in this sector. That's why the twelve of us have gathered here to protect this last spark of life."

Lin Yu shook his head helplessly.

Too little.

Although the twelve Mirror Warriors before him were far stronger than the Mirror Knight from ten thousand years in his memory in terms of both aura and power, a million people were still a drop in the ocean when facing a universe being swallowed by darkness.

They are like fireflies in the dark night, trying their best but only able to illuminate a small area in front of them.

"I see."

Lin Yu nodded, his expression turning serious. "However, now is not the time for sentimentality."

The lead Mirror Warrior looked at him with some confusion.

"You... have been fighting for a whole day and night, aren't you going to take a rest?"

A Mirror Warrior who seemed rather impatient couldn't help but chime in.

Is your body made of iron?

Lin Yu's lips twitched.

Dude, that joke isn't funny.

He sighed, "Since I've come to this universe, I'm prepared to work tirelessly without rest."

He looked at the twelve warriors with a burning gaze.

"This planet is safe for now, but that's far from enough. As long as there's even one alien beast in this universe, they could come back. I can't stay here forever."

"Therefore, I plan to use this planet as a temporary base to take the initiative and clear out other planets occupied by alien beasts."

"If there are any survivors on those planets, transfer them here as well. Only by concentrating our efforts can we ensure everyone's safety."

Lin Yu's plan silenced the twelve Mirror Warriors present.

They have guarded this place for over a hundred years, always thinking about how to defend it and how to protect this last home.

But the foreign soldier in front of them was thinking about a counterattack.

Your idea is very bold.

The lead Mirror Warrior finally spoke, "However, the distance between planets is too vast, even at our speed..."

"Don't worry about that."

Lin Yu interrupted him, a smile appearing on his face, "I need your cooperation. Aren't you Mirror Clan skilled in spatial abilities?"

"I need you to open a 'mirror passage' for me that can cross the sea of ​​stars."

The twelve Mirror Warriors exchanged glances, and all saw shock in each other's eyes.

Using their abilities for ultra-long-distance planetary teleportation... this is simply unheard of.

His expression turned serious: "The safety of this planet is only temporary. If the threats in the surrounding star systems are not completely eliminated, new alien beasts will be attracted sooner or later. I must use this place as the origin and radiate outwards to eliminate all potential threats."

He looked at the twelve Mirror Warriors and told them his plan.

“I will search for survivors on other planets that may harbor life and transfer them here. Only by concentrating our efforts can we better protect them. This process requires you to establish stable intergalactic passages.”

The twelve Mirror Warriors exchanged a glance, then nodded in unison without hesitation.

No problem!

The lead Mirror Warrior, her resolve unwavering, declared, "This is our mission, and our honor. Our race's spatial magic is enough to build bridges of light between stars. We will call upon more of our people to join this rescue plan."

"very good."

Lin Yu nodded. "Then let's start preparing immediately."

The twelve Mirror Warriors said no more, turned around in unison, and walked toward the huge main mirror in the center of the village.

They extended their crystal palms and pressed them in unison onto the cold mirror surface.

hum!
The enormous main mirror emitted a melodious hum, and its surface rippled violently like water. Countless mysterious and complex golden light patterns emerged, flowed, and intertwined on the mirror, as if outlining a magnificent blueprint connecting the starry sea.

The surviving humans also took action.

Acheng directed the able-bodied men to clear a space around the area and set up a temporary cordon. The women organized themselves and distributed the limited food and water to their compatriots from other outposts who had just arrived and were still in shock.

Even Ah-Chun and the little girl carried water bags and ran through the crowd, delivering precious clean water to the busy adults.

The gloom of despair was swept away, and everyone's face radiated a light called "future".

Lin Yu stood aside, quietly watching all of this.

His body was still exhausted, but his heart was at peace like never before.

Save, then protect.

Perhaps this is the true meaning of his coming to this despairing universe.
