Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 399 (Bonus Chapter) Ultraman Jugglus Juggler
"Serpent Heart Style..."

A bright light suddenly burst forth in Yuyan's eyes, an excitement at seeing something he had longed for.

"As expected! I once saw scattered records of this school of thought in an ancient book. Legend has it that it is a kind of assassination sword that pursues the ultimate efficiency. I never thought I would see its successor in person today!"

Her tone was full of excitement and admiration.

However, Jugglus Juggler's reaction was like being doused with ice water.

"It's nothing more than a technique for taking lives."

He said coldly, "There's nothing to look forward to."

After saying that, he ignored the other person and turned to leave.

"Please teach me!"

Without hesitation, Yu Yan spoke again, his voice even more resolute than before, "Please, teach me the swordsmanship of the Serpent Heart School!"

Jugglus stopped again.

He didn't turn around, but merely turned his head and glanced at the stubborn woman out of the corner of his eye.

"I reject."

"why?"

Yu Yan pressed on, puzzled, "Don't tell me it's just because I'm a woman that you're unwilling to teach me."

These words seemed to have touched a nerve with Jugglus Juggler.

He was originally too lazy to say anything more, but for some reason, Lin Yu's hateful face and the reprimand of "put away your ridiculous naivety" suddenly appeared in his mind.

He slowly turned around and, for the first time, looked directly at the female warrior from the royal planet Ganon.

"You want to learn Snake Heart Style?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Jugglus's lips. "Fine, but before that, you'd better understand what kind of swordsmanship this is."

He raised the Serpent Heart Sword in his hand and gently sliced ​​the tip across his arm, leaving a shallow bloodstain.

"The essence of Snake Heart Style is not offense, but enticement."

His voice was deep and magnetic, yet carried a chillingly dangerous quality.

"Expose your most fatal weakness to the enemy without reservation, use your own body as bait to attract the enemy's fatal blow. Then, just before the blade touches your heart, use faster speed and more ruthless moves to send your sword into the enemy's throat."

"Trading injury for life, seeking life through death. Every move is like dancing on the edge of a blade, living towards death. This is the Serpent Heart Style."

Jugglus's gaze, like a drawn blade, stared directly into Mikoto's eyes.

"Now, do you still think this kind of swordsmanship is worth learning for a girl like you? It's too dangerous for you."

Upon hearing these words, Tachibana turned pale with fright and instinctively tugged at Miyuki's sleeve.

However, there was no fear on Yu Yan's face.

She stubbornly met Jugglus's gaze, biting her lip as she said, "I've already memorized some of the moves! I need power, I must become stronger so I can better protect Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Protect the Queen?"

When Jugglus heard this word, it was as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and he couldn't help but sneer.

"Does your queen really need protection?"

He sheathed the Serpent Heart Sword, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm.

"What kind of guy is it to have a knife to his throat and still stubbornly say, 'If I fight back, it will start a war. For the sake of universal peace, I choose not to resist'?"

"It's not that she doesn't want to fight; it's just that she's been protected too much, which is why she can so casually say something as naive as 'I don't want to fight'!"

These words, like sharp arrows, instantly struck Yu Yan's sore spot.

But this also completely ignited the nameless fire within Jugglus Juggler's heart.

He thought of the lofty peak of warriors, and of the naive fool Kai chosen by the light. A long-suppressed sense of irritation and injustice surged into his heart.

"This universe is utterly ridiculous!"

He growled, “The weak crave power desperately! But the truly powerful ones constantly talk about ‘peace’ and ‘protection,’ taking the protection of others for granted and refusing to fight!”

"You bullshit!"

Enraged by his words, Yu Yan retorted loudly, "Her Majesty the Queen did it for the sake of all the people of Ganon! She did it to prevent even greater sacrifices!"

"is it?"

Jugglus sneered; he was too lazy to argue with this brainwashed woman any longer.

Different road non-phase plan.

He turned around again and strode out.

"You must have suffered a deep trauma in your heart?"

Yu Yan's icy voice came from behind him, like an invisible needle that precisely pierced his most vulnerable spot.

Jugglus's body suddenly stiffened.

"Your expression is very similar to Tachibana's."

Yu Yan's voice carried a calm that seemed to understand people's hearts. "It's the expression of someone who has been betrayed by the person they trust most."

Jugglus slowly turned around, his eyes sharpening.

"You mean your captain who deserted in the face of battle?"

He glanced at Tachibana, whose face darkened at being mentioned as "Captain Shinra," and spoke with a hint of mockery.

Yu Yan ignored his sarcasm and simply looked at him quietly, as if trying to see through his soul.

"You are very handsome and skilled. A man like you must have no shortage of suitors."

Her tone was certain, "So, the one who betrayed you was a woman, right?" Jugglus was silent for a moment, then coldly uttered a few words.

"I have never been betrayed by anyone."

"is it?"

Yu Yan seemed unconvinced, and changed her guessing direction, "Then it's... Kai?"

Upon hearing this name, a bitter smile appeared on Jugglus Juggler's face for the first time.

"Kay?"

He shook his head, as if mocking himself, "He's a brainless idiot, a guy who doesn't even know how to spell 'betrayal.' How could he possibly betray me?"

"Who is that?"

The emperor's words pressed on relentlessly.

Jugglus raised his head and looked out at the deep, unchanging cosmic sky outside the training room.

His eyes were filled with complex and indescribable emotions: resentment, anger, confusion, and a deep sadness that even he himself was unwilling to admit.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse.

"It's me."

"It was I who betrayed myself."

After saying this, he didn't linger, and his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor, leaving only a lonely and desolate silhouette.

……

Lin Yu did not actually go to rest.

He simply found a quiet corner, leaned against the cold metal wall of the cabin, took out a can of ice-cold cola from his four-dimensional pocket, and leisurely drank it.

He heard every single word of the conversation that just took place in the training room.

When he saw Jugglus's forlorn figure, as if abandoned by the whole world, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Is this guy still holding a grudge because O-50 chose Kay instead of him?"

Lin Yu recalled the time in space when he and Kai transformed into Ultraman and fought fiercely against monsters, while Jugglus Juggler sat alone on the train, tightly gripping the Serpent Heart Sword, looking out the window with a complex expression.

The frustration and pain of yearning for power yet being unable to obtain it almost overflows from the screen.

"Kid, if you really crave power that much..."

Lin Yu's eyes flickered, and a bold and interesting idea gradually took shape in his mind.

He silently reached into his pocket and pulled something out.

It was a strangely shaped device, the main body of which was a handle-like grip with a slot in the middle for holding two items and a trigger on the side.

Ultra Sublimation Unit.

The initial experimental model of the Geely sublimator.

This was one of the many inventions that Hikari, that research fanatic, asked him to help collect combat data.

Lin Yu never used it after he got it.

After all, his own strength was sufficient, and he didn't need to rely on such an external object.

but now……

Lin Yu looked at the sublimator in his hand, and then thought of Jugglus's aggrieved look of "I'm suffering inside, but I won't say it," and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

"Although this isn't the medal version you used in the Zeta timeline, but Geed's capsule version... well, right now, let alone Geed, even his father Belial is still in the space prison singing 'Tears Behind Bars.' So, this thing doesn't even have a name yet, calling it the Ultra Riser is perfectly fine."

Lin Yu's mind raced.

"Hikari asked me to test this thing and collect data... I haven't had time until now. Now is the perfect time to use Jugglus Juggler as a guinea pig, isn't that a logical and reasonable approach?"

"Besides, the fact that he, Jugglus Juggler, will transform into Ultraman Jepton in the future is itself a very beaver-like thing!"

The more Lin Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was simply a stroke of genius.

He had even started to imagine that scene.

Holding two Ultra Capsules, Jugglus Juggler shouted in his overly dramatic, melodramatic voice, "Belial-senpai! Zoffy-senpai! Lend me your power!"

Then, Kai, holding the Orb Ring, shouted from the side, "Tiga-senpai! First Generation senpai! Lend me your power of light!"

The two guys, each holding a transformation device, stood together, frantically calling out the names of various seniors to recruit others.

That picture...

"puff."

Lin Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What the hell? The debt duo? The Land of Light's designated deadbeats?"

"So happy, so very happy."

He looked at the Ultra Riser in his hand, as if he could already see a future full of fun.

"Ok, deal."

Having made up his mind, Lin Yu stuffed the sublimator into his pocket, took a step, and followed at a leisurely pace in the direction that Jugglus had just left.

Now that the decision has been made to grant Jugglus Juggler power, whether he is qualified for it is up to him to work hard for.

After all, as a deeply resentful adult, and someone prone to getting stuck in a rut and taking extreme measures, casually bestowing power upon others would be irresponsible. At the very least, he should have a talk with Jugglus Juggler.

If you truly possess the power to protect and fight, then prove it to me.
