Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 367 Unable to Save All

I do not know how long it has been.

In the soft light, Lin Yu's eyelids fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes.

A blinding light shone directly into his pupils.

"Ah! My eyes! Flash Dog!"

Lin Yu screamed and instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes.

Once his eyes adjusted to the light, he found himself lying on a bed made of crystal, surrounded by people.

Acheng, Azhun, the surviving villagers, and the twelve Mirror Warriors who had taken human form all looked at him quietly with a mixture of awe, gratitude, and fervor.

"You...you're awake?"

Acheng's voice trembled slightly as he asked cautiously.

The lead Mirror Warrior stepped forward and bowed slightly.

Thank you for saving us all. I'm still unsure how to address you.

Lin Yu struggled to sit up, feeling that although his body was still weak, he was no longer seriously injured.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the crowd, he thought for a moment and said, "Ultraman Nexus, just call me Nexus."

From this day forward, in this universe, he is Nexus.

【Lord Nexus. 】

The Mirror Warrior solemnly repeated himself, and then he explained to Lin Yu in detail the current state of the planet and the new problems they faced.

The new star brought with it a new environment.

The planet's orbital shift has led to global tidal anomalies, causing dramatic changes in the climate of oceans and continents, and making the atmosphere unstable due to intensified geomagnetic storms.

"These are minor issues."

After listening, Lin Yu waved his hand, "Your Mirror Clan are enormous life forms with the power to interfere with nature. As long as you spend some time stabilizing the ecological environment of this planet, it won't be difficult for you."

He stood up and looked at the Mirror Warriors.

"This planet will become the first home planet of hope for all survivors in this universe. Your responsibility is heavy, but I have other responsibilities."

"Light is a bond; it will be inherited and shine again."

We understand.

The twelve Mirror Warriors nodded in unison, their resolve unwavering. "We will contact all our lost kin and together protect this last spark of life."

"very good."

Lin Yu nodded without further hesitation.

"How long have I been in a coma?"

[Three days and three nights.]

"enough."

Lin Yu took a deep breath, then stopped. His body transformed into a streak of light, instantly breaking through the barrier of the mirror world and flying towards the distant sea of ​​stars.

His mission is not over yet.

He has only just torn a small hole in the darkness of this universe.

On the ground, everyone looked up, watching the light disappear into the distance until it vanished at the edge of the sea of ​​stars.

【let's start. 】

The lead Mirror Warrior withdrew his gaze and looked at his comrades.

Some went to contact their people. Others went to maintain the planet's normal operation.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the hopeful humans.

Here, we will build the first city of hope in this universe.

Therefore, it should have a name, just like our Mirror Star.

Soon, they were given a name.

Let's call it Source Star, the planet of origin.

However, someone immediately countered, "Why not call it the Star of Nexus?"

[Isn't that a bit too direct? How about we have both? N-Origin Star.]

Inside the driver's cab of the four-dimensional train, Lin Yu lay sprawled on the driver's seat, feeling as if his old back had been trampled by ten Golza in turn.

"Hey, it hurts."

He grimaced and rubbed his lower back. "Propelling a planet is definitely not something a normal person should do. I swear, I'll never do it again in my life."

He raised his palm and looked at it over and over in front of his eyes.

In that extreme battle, with everyone's unwavering faith, he broke through to the adult form of Ultraman Nexus.

That immense and unparalleled power still resonates deep within his cells.

Lin Yu's mind flashed with the resolute determination of the Mirror Warriors who built a defensive line with their bodies, and the thunderous cheers of the survivors.

Will you protect them?
He gave a helpless, bitter smile and slowly clenched his fist.

"There's no such thing as protecting or not protecting."

He murmured to himself, his eyes crystal clear, "I just want everyone to survive."

He sat up straight and brought up the star map in front of him.

The next second, the ease on his face vanished.

On the enormous three-dimensional star map, countless red dots of light, like cancer cells in the universe, are spread across every corner.

The darkness of this universe was deeper than he had imagined.

Even the smallest galaxy is inhabited by countless alien beasts.

After a moment of silence, Lin Yu's figure vanished from the driver's seat in an instant.

There's no time to rest.

On a planet whose atmosphere is shrouded in a yellow poisonous fog, a group of survivors are being driven into a dead end in a canyon by dozens of bizarre alien beasts.

Despair gripped everyone's throat like a poisonous fog.

Just then, without warning, a crack appeared in the sky.

The crack didn't seem to have been torn open by brute force; it was more like a shattered mirror, with countless mirror-like fragments scattering in all directions, reflecting a dazzling and holy light.

A figure in blue and silver stepped out from behind the mirror and landed on the earth.

It's Nexus.

He didn't even glance at the humans; with a flick of his right hand, a storm sword made of light suddenly materialized.

He simply swung his sword forward casually. A silver sword light, like moonlight skimming across the water, silently swept across the entire battlefield.

All the ferocious, roaring alien beasts froze at the same moment.

The next second, their bodies, along with the surrounding poisonous fog, decomposed into the most primitive light particles and vanished without a trace.

Molecular-level decomposition is efficient and environmentally friendly.

Nexus's figure disappeared again amidst the survivors' shocked gazes, as if he had never appeared. Only the mirrored passage remained, quietly standing, with people constantly emerging from it to guide the survivors to their new home.

But that beam of light that tore through despair and that blue giant were deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

"Yes...yes, the savior!"

"He came from the mirror and brought us hope!"

Such scenes began to unfold in every corner of the universe.

On a planet covered in ice and snow, Nexus appears atop the highest ice peak.

He could clearly feel the joy and hope of the survivors in the ice cave below turning into trickles of water flowing into his body, replenishing the energy he was consuming like a perpetual motion machine.

"There are many more planets waiting for me."

Without pausing for a moment, Lin Yu drew out the Evolution Trustee, transformed into a streak of light once more, and flew into the deep universe.

Ocean planet.

A gigantic aquatic monster is slowly rising from the deep sea, preparing to unleash a tsunami and devour the last surviving island city on the surface.

A blue shooting star fell from the sky.

Nexus hovered above the sea, his Storm Sword growing larger with the wind, instantly extending to a colossal length of ten thousand meters.

He held the sword in one hand, like a god wielding a holy lance of judgment, and slashed down fiercely.

laugh!
The entire ocean was cleaved in two by this sword, revealing the bottomless seabed.

The enormous aquatic alien beast didn't even have time to utter a mournful cry before it was cleaved in two by the sword light, the light from the wound completely annihilating it at the cellular level.

On the island, countless wounded civilians rushed out of the shelters, looked at the parted ocean and the blue giant hanging in the sky, and knelt down to worship from the bottom of their hearts.

Nexus looked down at the devout people, feeling a sense of helplessness.

"I'm not some kind of god."

His thoughts, like a gentle breeze, caressed the hearts of everyone.

"I just want to save you and destroy those monsters."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the Storm Sword high, its tip shining brightly.

The next second, countless soft points of light fell from the sky, like warm spring rain, sprinkling on every corner of the city.

Bathed in this rain of light, everyone's wounds healed at a visible speed, and despair and pain were swept away.

After doing all this, Lin Yu's figure disappeared again.

He's off to the next battlefield.

Time slipped away in the endless battle.

As more and more planets are saved by Nexus, the first planet, named "N-Origin Star," has already reached its population saturation point.

More than a hundred Mirror Warriors united and, guided by the star map provided by Lin Yu, led humanity, which had already mastered some technology, to begin transforming new planets and establishing one hopeful stronghold after another.

Lin Yu, however, continued his campaigns.

On a planet inhabited by monsters, he stood silently atop a mountain of alien carcasses.

The ground beneath their feet had been stained a dark purple with the blood of the alien beasts.

"How long has it been since I last stopped?"

"How many planets have I saved this time?"

He raised his head and looked out at the cold, lifeless universe.

"To this vast universe, my salvation is but a drop in the ocean."

"Does what I'm doing really make sense? Can it really save the universe?"

An unprecedented sense of bewilderment, like a maggot clinging to his bone, quietly crept into his heart.

He is tired.

Physical fatigue can be sustained by faith, but mental exhaustion is like a bottomless abyss.

However, this moment of confusion lasted for less than a second.

Lin Yu clenched his fist tightly, his eyes sharpening again.

"When I'm lost, more people will be killed!"

"What right do I have to be confused!"

He took a deep breath, suppressing all his negative emotions, and his figure disappeared from the spot again.

A dead world with steel cities, now reduced to ruins.

Lin Yu walked on the quiet street, surrounded by cold metal debris and huge scratches everywhere.

"Is there... no one left?"

He closed his eyes, expanding his telekinesis to its maximum, scanning the entire planet.

There was no heartbeat, no breathing, and no signs of life.

We arrived too late again; they had already moved on to the next table.

An indescribable sense of exhaustion surged up from the depths of his soul, almost crushing him.

He knelt on one knee, supporting himself with his hand on the ground, breathing heavily.

"No, this can't go on."

His voice was hoarse and weak.

"I don't have time... Every time I save a planet, there are probably more than a hundred planets being completely destroyed on the other side of the universe."

"This kind of rescue is far too slow."

There was no response; only deathly silence answered him.

Lin Yu clutched his violently pounding heart, the core of his energy and the source of his will.

Just then, a faint yet incredibly resolute light slowly shone from his chest.

It was a tiny, seed-like point of light.

It absorbed the prayers and gratitude of all those who were saved; it carried the initial courage and faith of Planet Arbok; it represented Lin Yu's will, and also the will of all the survivors in this universe.

Seeds of Faith.
