Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 455 The Power of Thought Forged Through Thousands of Trials

In Japan, suicide is not a rare topic.

Especially in this era of frequent monsters, societal pressures and uncertainty about the future have driven many to despair.

Lin Yu had always thought that this was perhaps an inevitable growing pain that civilization would encounter at a certain stage of development, a complex social problem, and even, to some extent, a choice of individual free will.

After all, if someone really doesn't want to live anymore, no one can stop them.

But today, what he saw completely overturned his ideas.

wrong.

It's not some bullshit personal choice at all.

There is a group of scoundrels who take advantage of people's vulnerability and confusion to systematically and organizedly brainwash them and induce them to commit suicide.

They disguised cowardice as detachment, glorified death as purification, and turned a group of desperate and pitiful people into tools for them to amass wealth and satisfy their perverse desire for control.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu's eyes turned completely cold.

It was a pure, unadulterated killing intent.

On the high platform, the cult leader in the white khaki robe was completely dumbfounded by Lin Yu's words.

The messenger of the origin...?
This script is wrong!

Before he could even utter a rebuttal, he felt an irresistible force envelop him.

The next second, his feet left the ground, and his whole body slowly rose into the air uncontrollably.

"Ah! What, what are you going to do?!"

The cult leader let out a terrified scream, his limbs flailing futilely in the air, his pretentious, charlatan-like demeanor completely gone.

He kept backing away, only to find himself just spinning in circles, rising higher and higher.

Almost simultaneously, alarms suddenly sounded at the distant XIG air base.

"Report: A huge surge of energy has been detected at the Central Plaza in Hong Kong North."

Atsuko Sasaki, wife of Gamu Takayama

Operator Atsuko Sasaki stared wide-eyed at the data on the screen, her face filled with disbelief.

"The nature of the energy is unknown, but... the fluctuation level is extremely high."

Meanwhile, correspondent Georgie Leland immediately switched communication channels.

"Calling me, Dream! Dream, please respond! An abnormal energy has been detected at your location. Report the situation immediately!"

However, all that could be heard from the communicator was a series of buzzing electrical sounds.

on the square.

Lin Yu ignored the wailing cult leader above him, frowned slightly, and turned his gaze to the solid ground beneath his feet.

A familiar aura was rapidly rising from the depths of the earth.

It has the feel of a destruction-inducing entity.

No, it doesn't look like that.

"I'm coming!"

The cult leader, suspended in mid-air, also sensed that aura.

His fear was instantly replaced by a morbid ecstasy.

He believed that the "source" he worshipped had come to save him.

He spread his arms wide and shouted with all his might at the fanatical believers below.

"Do you see it, fellow believers? The great Root has descended!"

"It will guide us, it will save us, let us together welcome this final purification, the destruction of the root!"

"The root cause is destroyed!"

The believers below joined in the excited shouts, spreading their arms, closing their eyes, and displaying expressions of happiness and satisfaction, as if they were about to enter heaven.

Boom——!
A deafening roar interrupted this absurd pilgrimage.

The concrete ground in the center of the square suddenly bulged up, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread all over the area.

Immediately afterwards, an incredibly thick, dark green branch, like a giant python bursting out of the ground, suddenly emerged from the earth.

Cement slabs, floor tiles, and soil were flung into the air by this brute force, only to crash back down, stirring up clouds of dust.

The enormous tree trunk rose from the ground and soared into the sky.

The cult leader, who had originally been seeking death and preparing to undergo "purification," froze in his ecstasy the moment he saw the surrounding rubble bursting forth.

Instead, an even stronger fear than before arose.

This...this is the root of the problem?

It's just a tree.

This was completely different from the sacred, solemn, and grand "purification" scene he had imagined.

"No...no, save me!"

The instinct for survival overwhelmed that ridiculous faith.

The cult leader tried to escape like a madman, but he was firmly locked in mid-air by Lin Yu's telekinetic power and could not move at all.

Religion is religion, and life is life.

He tried to get down, but found he couldn't.

Can't go up or down, stuck here.

Lin Yu laughed at his comical, embarrassed look.

"Yo yo yo."

He crossed his arms, looked up at the other person with a relaxed air, and spoke in a cheerful tone.

"Weren't you just shouting that you wanted to lead everyone to die together? Come on, your chance has come."

"As the leader, you should take the lead and set an example for everyone. Come on, you die first and show everyone."

"No, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" The cult leader completely broke down, crying and pleading, tears streaming down his face.

"Put me down, please put me down!"

A warm liquid dripped down his trouser leg.

He shamefully urinated.

"Lin Yusang, this can't go on! This thing will destroy the entire city!"

Gao Shanwomeng watched as the trees over there began to grow into large, lush trees, and he was so anxious that he was covered in sweat.

He broke through the invisible barrier and rushed to Lin Yu's side, his expression extremely solemn.

Lin Yu merely glanced at him, his smile remaining relaxed.

"Don't worry, I did it from the beginning."

"what?"

I was stunned by the mountain.

Meanwhile, inside the XIG air base, everyone held their breath.

On the huge main screen, the real-time high-definition image of Gangbei Square is clearly visible.

Those vast tracts of plants are growing wildly.

"No, the trees are growing too fast."

Atsuko Sasaki anxiously reported, "At this rate of expansion, the entire Kohoku district will be occupied in less than three minutes! Within twelve hours at most, it will spread to the capital, and its spread is radii-based, which means that Japan will be completely occupied!"

"strangeness……"

Georgie Leland, standing nearby, frowned and pointed to a corner of the screen.

“Look, its growth… seems to have stopped.”

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately zoomed in on the image.

Sure enough, the green forest that was expanding wildly seemed to have been paused. All the vines froze in mid-air, motionless, and even the tree trunks that had just emerged from the ground were frozen in place.

"It hasn't stopped."

The commander of the stone chamber, who had been silent all along, slowly stepped forward, his voice deep and powerful.

He stretched out his finger and tapped the very center of the screen.

"It can't move."

The technicians immediately understood and zoomed in on the image again, focusing on the roots of the trees.

When the clear image was presented to everyone, the entire command center fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with indescribable astonishment.

They saw it...

I witnessed a horrifying scene.

Those thick, grotesque branches that had sprung up from the ground were now being pressed back into the ground inch by inch in an extremely bizarre way!

It was as if an unseen, divine hand was forcefully shoving this green plant back into its place with an irresistible power!
The vines trembled and struggled violently, but the invisible force remained as steady as Mount Tai, resolutely carrying out the "retreat" command.

on the square.

Takayama Gamu also stared in disbelief at the surreal scene before him.

He could feel an unimaginably powerful telekinetic force enveloping the entire square like a canopy, suppressing the trees.

He turned his head and looked incredulously at the man beside him who still looked calm and collected.

"Senior, this... did you make this?"

"if not?"

"It can't be that it suddenly had a change of heart, realized that causing destruction was wrong, and went back inside, can it?"

Takayama Gamu: "..."

He felt that his worldview had been refreshed once again.

He watched helplessly as the giant tree, large enough to block out the sun, was forcefully pressed back into the ground by an invisible force with just a casual glance from Lin Yu.

That scene was even more outrageous than Ultraman destroying a monster with a beam of light.

That was not simply destruction, but a kind of absolute domination that was almost a reshaping of reality.

This is the ultimate limit of mental power honed through countless trials.

However, the suppressed threat did not disappear.

Lin Yu frowned.

He sensed that from all corners of the city, from every green belt, every park, and even from the flowerpots on the balconies of residential buildings, countless tiny green energies were stirring, trying to break through the soil once again.

The plants throughout the city seemed to come alive in that instant, wanting to completely devour this jungle of steel and concrete.

However, it was not enough, far from enough, in the face of Lin Yu's immense mental power.

As the giant tree underground was completely pushed back in, an object that had been hidden by its massive roots was now fully exposed in the center of the square.

It was a huge, ancient-looking mechanical creation.

It resembles a giant inverted bronze bell or a bronze tower rising from the ground, its surface covered with intricate and mysterious patterns, exuding a beauty completely different from modern technology.

It stood there quietly, and without the cover of the rampant plants, it stood out from the crowd.

"This is……"

Gao Shanwo's pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw that on the surface of the bronze tower, two large characters were clearly engraved in an ancient seal script.

"Dark green".

"Another natural control machine?" I murmured in my dream.
