Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 388 (Bonus Chapter) Truth Tiga
Just then, a piercing scream came from above.

"what--!"

A figure fell from a great height, flailing its arms and legs as it hurtled towards the abyss.

Lin Yu looked up and saw that it was an assassin alien named Nackle.

Judging from the speed and posture of his fall, if he falls, he'll be crippled even if he doesn't die.

Seeing that he was about to turn into a pile of minced meat, Lin Yu had a slight thought.

An invisible force instantly supported the Nackle alien, allowing him to float steadily in mid-air.

Want to take on the challenge again?

Lin Yu asked, "If you want, I'll take you up."

The Nackle alien was still in shock. He looked down into the bottomless abyss and then at the towering mountain peak, his face filled with resentment. But in the end, he shook his head in despair.

"I...I've reached my limit. If I go any further, I'll die."

Lin Yu nodded and waved his hand casually.

The Nackle aliens were then enveloped by a gentle psychic force and slowly transported back to the foot of the mountain.

After doing all this, Lin Yu continued climbing upwards.

He rescued people as he went up the mountain.

If he saw anything fall from above, he didn't bother asking any questions. He simply used his telekinesis to pack it up and send it all back to the safe area at the foot of the mountain.

If someone would rather die than go down there themselves, then they also set aside their desire to help others and respect the fate of others.

Unbeknownst to him, a number of survivors he had rescued had gathered at the foot of the mountain.

"What...what just happened? I'm still alive."

"Me too! I was climbing up when I suddenly fell down. I thought I was going to die, but I was rescued."

Fengma stood on the periphery of the crowd, staring in disbelief at their discussion, his heart pounding wildly.

Are you talking about Mr. Lin Yu?
He's not only incredibly strong in combat, but his willpower to climb this mountain is also that strong!

They even have the capacity to save so many people!

Is that human being?
Lin Yu was unaware that he had already caused a sensation at the foot of the mountain.

He didn't know exactly how long he had been climbing.

The wind and snow grew heavier, and the rock face became increasingly steep, almost perpendicular to the ground.

He mechanically repeated the action of climbing upwards until he realized that no "delivery" had fallen from above for a long time.

The next moment, he stretched out his climbing hand and grabbed nothing.

Lin Yu was taken aback at first.

Then he noticed that the wind and snow around him had stopped at some point, and the dark clouds overhead were no longer there, but a strange dome radiating a soft light.

He has reached the summit.

Before him, a ring shimmering with seven colors floated silently in mid-air.

However, the moment Lin Yu saw it clearly, the ring seemed to be greatly frightened, and with a flash of light, it disappeared into thin air.

Lin Yu's smile froze.

After a brief moment of shock, a nameless anger suddenly welled up from the bottom of his heart.

Okay, okay, let’s play like this, right?

I climbed up here with great difficulty, and you didn't even show your face before running away?
A kind smile slowly appeared on Lin Yu's face.

"I'll give you three counts."

His voice wasn't loud, but it echoed clearly throughout the mountaintop.

"If you don't come out soon, I'll destroy this Warrior's Peak."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ripple appeared in the air, and the ring that had just disappeared reappeared in front of Lin Yu, its light much dimmer.

Lin Yu looked at it, his eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands together, and showed an expectant expression.

"Quick! Ring! Give me the reward! I want an evolved Truster, or a Saga Bracelet, or even a genuine Galaxy Spark if all else fails."

He stretched out his hand as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Let me warn you, if the reward isn't good, don't blame me for chopping you into mincemeat."

Big Circle: Buhou, bandits have broken into your house!
The next moment, the entire ring burst into flames, rising with a ghostly blue light and slowly rotating.

The central part began to emit a soft and holy light, guiding Lin Yu to touch it.

Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction. That's more like it.

He reached out his hand, reaching towards the center of the light.

The instant his fingertips touched that light, countless images and sounds flooded into his mind like a burst dam.

"I want to rule my home planet and make all those who once looked down on me kneel at my feet!"

"I want the strongest power in the entire universe! I want to become the ruler of the universe!"

"I want endless wealth; I want to buy ten galaxies as my backyard!"

"I want……"

Countless voices filled with greed, desire, and hatred roared in his ears.

Lin Yu frowned slightly. He saw that all of these challengers who voiced their thoughts had been eliminated halfway through the climb, or even if they were lucky enough to reach the top, the ring would only coldly grant them some insignificant monster power before dismissing them.

It is filtering.

Using the most rigorous, yet fairest, methods, we screen the hearts of every challenger.

Just then, a completely different voice clearly entered his consciousness.

It was a slightly immature yet incredibly firm voice.

"I hope... to gain a power that will not hurt anyone, and will not cause anyone sorrow."

"I want to use this power to protect everyone's smiles."

In the scene, a somewhat simple-minded young man dressed in brown refugee clothes stands atop Warrior's Peak, making a naive yet almost laughable wish upon the circular platform. It's Kai.

For the first time, the light of the ring became incomparably dazzling. It acknowledged the wish and bestowed the Orb Light upon the young man named Kai without reservation.

Lin Yu fell silent.

He stared at Hong Kai in the image, who had gained power and wore a clear yet foolish smile, for a long time before finally letting out a helpless, bitter laugh.

"An ideal where no one gets hurt, and no one is sad..."

"Hong Kai, Hong Kai, it will take a lifetime to realize this wish."

"Are you really prepared?"

At this moment, Lin Yu finally understood.

O-50 is not a black-hearted factory at all.

It is the center of this universe, a collective of wills that this universe evolved to protect itself.

This universe has no powerful guardian organization like the Land of Light, nor a final trump card like the King of Ultra.

When a crisis strikes, it can only rely on itself.

Therefore, it evolved into the "Summit of Warriors," a cruel yet fair testing ground and a special talent selection mechanism.

It uses the most stringent standards to find challengers who truly possess a sense of "righteousness" in their hearts, entrusting them with the power of the universe and making them warriors who protect this universe.

This is the only way to maintain the stable operation of the universe to the greatest extent possible, rather than creating powerful villains who, after gaining power, turn around and wreak havoc on one side.

As for those tasks that have been criticized by countless people for their ridiculously high difficulty...

In Lin Yu's mind, the images of countless planets wailing and countless lives praying in despair resurfaced.

It turns out that the so-called task system was not actively launched by the circle at all.

Rather, it is the prayers and lamentations of countless individuals in this universe that converge here and automatically form the mission.

The ring itself does not have any binding power on those Ultramen who have received the power.

The only thing it can do is to raise the selection criteria to the extreme from the very beginning.

It is better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality.

It would rather not choose than choose the wrong one.

They must choose a saint before they will hand over Ultraman's power.

If it's a less powerful one, then let the monster's power take its place.

"It turns out I misunderstood you."

Lin Yu withdrew his hand, looked at the ring in front of him, and his eyes showed a hint of apology and respect. "I'm sorry, I was narrow-minded."

Since this is a promotion channel prepared by the universe for its own people, it's not right for an outsider like him to take something that belongs to them.

After all, he would have to run away sooner or later, and he was bound to be indebted to those who accepted his help.

Lin-Diga-Yu still has some integrity.

"Alright, I don't need the stuff."

Lin Yu waved to the circle, "Just consider this a friendship. I'm leaving now. See you again sometime."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

However, as soon as he took a step, the halo of light behind him suddenly shone brightly.

The next moment, an object emitting a dark light appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Yu and flew straight into his palm.

Lin Yu caught it instinctively.

Ok?
He looked down and froze on the spot.

It was a transformation device that he was extremely familiar with, completely black, and shaped exactly like the Spark Lens.

Dark Magic Wand.

Lin Yu's expression instantly became incredibly interesting.

He was stunned at first, then rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked at it again.

That's right, it's the Dark Spark Lens.

"no……"

Lin Yu finally lost his temper. He turned around abruptly, pointed at the still-glowing ring, and complained angrily, "What do you mean? I said I didn't want it, but you still forced it on me?"

"And you returned my things to me, and even gave them to me as a reward?"

"You still have no shame!"

The ring's light flashed, as if to say, "This is a good thing, don't forget about it."

Lin Yu almost laughed out of anger.

Just as he was about to throw the fake back, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Ok?
He carefully examined the dark magic staff in his hand.

It seemed to be subtly different from its original one.

Although they look exactly the same, the power contained within them is not pure dark power, but rather more like an... empty container?
Lin Yu tried to inject a trace of his own power into it.

The next second, the Dark Divine Light Rod in his hand suddenly trembled and burst out with a powerful suction force, beginning to actively absorb the power stored in his body from the Screaming Devourer. But strangely, the source power did not decrease.

what is this?
What is the use?

Lin Yu was stunned, and an absurd thought popped into his mind.

Could it completely replicate my power?
Soon, the light of the Dark Magic Wand dimmed further and further, eventually turning pitch black.

Copying complete.

Lin Yu weighed it in his hand, and his expression immediately became a little strange.

Such pure stuff!
No, what would I do with such pure dark power? Like Triga, merge it with my own Composite Form or Shining Form to become Truth Tiga?

[Just for fun, I feel like Ultraman Tiga's tear troughs don't quite match Trigger's.]
