Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 486 Is this also the ancient era?
The next day, the morning sun shone through the sparse clouds, casting a warm golden glow.

At the entrance of the coffee shop on the street corner, Lin Yu stretched lazily in the sunlight, making a "crackling" sound.

He rubbed his aching lower back and couldn't help but mentally complain.

Good heavens, she really was stimulated by the darkness of Camilla in this world.

Last night, my yandere was like she was on steroids, her fighting power was off the charts, she was absolutely insane.

They insist on proving through concrete actions who the rightful wife is.

This overtime work is really taking its toll.

Just then, a light and agile figure emerged from the alleyway beside them; it was Arena, who had changed into a set of Earth's everyday clothes.

The girl's face was beaming with a bright smile. She tilted her head up and leaned close to Lin Yu, looking like she wanted to curry favor.

"Mr. Lin Yu, you see, I told you! Girls need to be coaxed!"

"Is that woman no longer angry?"

Lin Yu looked at her innocent and naive appearance and fell into a long silence.

Girl, is there any possibility...?

The "coaxing" you're talking about is completely different from the "coaxing" I'm actually doing!
One is verbal reassurance, the other... is physical submission!

However, looking into Alena's pure eyes, Lin Yu couldn't bear to shatter her illusion. He just twitched his lips slightly and nodded.

"Well, at least... your intentions were good."

He stroked his chin and began to think.

I must say, this Alena in front of me, although she didn't have much screen time in the original series, has a fairly complete character arc.

From an avenger implanted with false memories, to a manipulator struggling, and finally a redeemer who has come to his senses... this series of transformations is vividly portrayed in the short half-hour theatrical version.

In contrast, the Amaterasu Queen I encountered in another universe was given a full ten episodes of screen time, yet her character development was not as three-dimensional as that of a supporting character in a theatrical version.

I just couldn't hold it in anymore...

"Mr. Lin Yu, where did that lady go?" Alena asked curiously.

"She..."

Lin Yu said without changing his expression, "She's a little tired and needs to rest well for the next couple of days."

I'm not just tired, I'm completely exhausted.

"Oh..." Alena nodded, seemingly understanding.

"Alright, let's not talk about her anymore."

Lin Yu clapped his hands, steer the conversation back on track, "I'm going somewhere, do you want to come along?"

"Where are you going?"

"A place that is very important to me."

Upon hearing this, Alena's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded her little head vigorously.

"I'll go! I'm sure I can help!" she patted her unremarkable chest and promised earnestly.

Seeing her enthusiastic demeanor, Lin Yu had an idea and asked, "Speaking of which, what exactly is the power of your magic mirror?"

A hint of pride appeared on Alena's face when she spoke of her abilities.

"My ability is to manipulate the 'Magic Mirror,' a very rare ability in the universe. It can reflect everything and even distort reality to a certain extent. It is an extremely rare and special ability!"

After saying that, she seemed a little embarrassed, "However... I seem to be showing off my limited skills in front of you, Mr. Lin Yu."

After all, the man in front of them was a monster who could lift the Time City with one hand and reverse time.

"No, no, no, your ability is very useful." Lin Yu waved his hand with a smile.

He had already started making plans in his mind.

Reflecting everything, distorting reality? This ability sounds like it has a lot of potential to be developed!

“I have a team,”

Lin Yu began his persuasive tactics: "Everyone inside is your companion. We've all come together for various reasons. Once you join our team, everyone is talented, speaks well, and is super interesting."

"Really?" Arena's eyes were filled with longing.

"Of course," Lin Yu said sincerely.

Hikari, that tech geek; Mebius, that hot-blooded idiot; Tregear, that future pleasure-seeker…

Yes, they are all talented, and they speak very well.

The plan goes through!
I've recruited another powerful teammate! When we get back, I'll introduce her to Hikari and see if we can combine her magic mirror ability with technology. Maybe we can create some kind of killer weapon.

Arena, completely unaware of her impending fate of being sold, eagerly asked, "So, where are we going this time?"

Lin Yu's expression became somewhat mysterious, and he slowly uttered four words.

"The Land of Ultraman Tiga".

"The Land of Tiga?" Arena was even more puzzled.

Lin Yu didn't explain directly, but instead looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

In his world, the timeline has been thrown into chaos because of his own existence as a variable.

He kept traveling through time, returning to the past, to the point that he still couldn't figure out whether the Tiga he encountered in the ancient times was the real "Old Man Tiga" or a phantom left behind by his future self.

But in other universes, it's different.

He would never forget the look of surprise on the face of the real Tiga when he saw him in the ancient times, as if he had finally found someone to take over his burden.

Then, without saying a word, the other party forcibly bound the Dark Light Rod to him.

He clearly didn't want to transform at all, but that damned Dark Spark Lens somehow grew legs, bounced up from the ground, bumped into him, and then spread its wings, forcibly pulling him in to become his human form.

This is absolutely unbelievable!
Finally, that irresponsible "old man" even had the audacity to say, "Since you've come to the past, take on the responsibility of saving the multiverse," and spouted a whole bunch of high-sounding words before patting his behind and making a grand escape.

Pooh!
This time, I'm determined to catch you!
Lin Yu thought viciously to himself.

He wanted to be a time-traveling policeman, to drag this guy who was shirking responsibility and running away out of the cracks of time, and to properly question him about whether he could live with himself after leaving this mess on a corporate slave who just wanted to leave work on time!
"The Land of Tiga is where the legend of Ultraman Tiga began," Lin Yu explained to Arena, pulling himself out of his thoughts.

According to the Ultraman Tiga spin-off, "The Ancient Giant's Revival," there was once a village near Ultraman Tiga's pyramid. Because Ultraman Tiga fought there, the village was later called "Tiga's Village," and the area was collectively known as "Tiga's Land."

What's even more interesting is that almost all the members of the GUTS team in the TV version are descendants of people from that village.

The village chief's descendant is TPC Director Sawai, the witch's descendant is Captain Megumi, the protagonist Amui's descendant is Daigo, Amui's sister's descendant is Mayumi, and even the passing free hunter Mahorobaba's descendant is Rena.

Five thousand years ago, Tiga was revived there once, defeated the Dark God, and then fell into slumber again.

In other words, Ultraman Tiga was indeed active during that era.

And the source of the aura that called out to him, the "Old Man Jia," was right there.

His goal this time is very clear.

Go back 5,000 years, to the crucial moment of Tiga's revival, wait and see, and catch that runaway guy red-handed!

Neon, in the northeast, in a remote mountain forest.

Lin Yu led Alena across an old suspension bridge that hung over a deep valley.

He stood on the other side of the bridge, looking at the mountains covered by dense forests in the distance, his heart filled with emotion.

"I never imagined that I would come here again in another parallel world."

"It's really fate."

He remembered that in his world's pyramid, the Five Emperors opened the gates to welcome him, and Tiga died on the spot. As a result, he had to bite the bullet and use the Golden Dragon's spacetime ability to try one last gamble, which fortunately succeeded.

Behind her, Alena was carefully walking on the swaying, narrow suspension bridge, her little face pale with fright.

“Mr. Lin Yu…this bridge doesn’t look very sturdy. Aren’t you afraid?” she asked tremblingly.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, glanced back at her, and spoke in a flat tone.

"I won't die from the fall."

With his current physical strength, let alone falling off this suspension bridge tens of meters high, even if he were kicked off from a height of ten thousand meters, it would probably be about the same as taking a cold shower.

Hearing this, Alena breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before she could even catch her breath, a wooden plank under her feet suddenly made a crisp "crack" sound.

The next second, the wooden board snapped.

"what--!"

Alena screamed and instantly lost her balance, plunging down into the stream below.

Lin Yu's lips twitched violently. Just what he feared most had come to pass.

He didn't even bother to turn around; he simply waved his hand behind him.

An invisible force of thought was instantly activated, like a soft yet strong rope, steadily supporting Arena who was in free fall and gently sending her back to the bridge.

Alena patted her chest, still shaken, then looked at Lin Yu with surprise.

"Wow...what amazing power!"

She could feel the force supporting her, invisible and intangible, yet real and more wondrous than any form of energy she knew.

"This looks...far more amazing than the power of my magic mirror!"

A strong sense of curiosity and longing instantly ignited in the girl's eyes.

She ran up to Lin Yu in a few strides, tilted her little face up, and asked expectantly, "Mr. Lin Yu, can I... learn this?!"

Lin Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, and then carefully examined her.

As a royal princess of Zant, Arena possesses the rare talent of manipulating the magic mirror, indicating that her mental strength far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Learning telekinesis...

Maybe it really will work.

“Sure,” Lin Yu nodded, “but we’ll have to wait until we get back to discuss it.”

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Alena was overjoyed.

The two continued on their way and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain where the pyramids were located.

However, the scene before him made Lin Yu frown.

The site of the pyramid ruins was completely surrounded by barbed wire, with a warning sign outside that read "Military restricted area, no unauthorized personnel allowed."

Several staff members in TPC uniforms were patrolling the entrance with guns on their hands.

"They're actually being controlled by TPC officials?" Lin Yu rubbed his chin, feeling a bit of a headache.

It seems that the TPC of this world has discovered the secret of the pyramids.

Oh well, at least we're already at our destination.

He pulled Alena aside and whispered, "Stand still, let's go."

Before he finished speaking, he immediately activated the power of the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon.

"The Space-Time Boundary!"

In an instant, the situation changed drastically.

The once clear sky was gradually replaced by an eerie twilight, and muffled thunder rumbled deep within the clouds.

A phantom-like cone-shaped curtain, woven like the aurora borealis, descended from the sky, instantly enveloping Lin Yu and Arena.

The next second, the two disappeared from the spot, as if they had never been there.

In the realm of time and space, countless bizarre and fantastical scenes flashed past the two of them, which were time tunnels leading to endless parallel worlds.

Alena was experiencing such a fantastical sight for the first time, and her curiosity was instantly piqued.

She stretched out her finger and poked the nearest light and shadow that emitted a soft white glow.

"Mr. Lin Yu, what is this? It's so beautiful..."

Lin Yu was about to warn her, "Don't touch these things. These are endless parallel worlds. If you get lost, you won't be able to find them again," but it was too late.

The moment Arena's fingers touched the light and shadow, a tremendous suction force came from it, instantly pulling her in.

"Should I blanch it?"

Lin Yu cursed under his breath, and without thinking, he rushed in after him.

The light and shadow before their eyes shifted, and after the blinding light subsided, Lin Yu found himself and Alena on unfamiliar land.

He looked up at the sky.

The sky was terribly gloomy, with thick, dark clouds pressing down like lead weights overhead, and a strange smell of sulfur and blood permeating the air.

The art style looks so familiar.

This is practically ancient times!

He knows it all too well.

Before he could react, a series of earth-shattering roars suddenly came from afar, along with countless terrified screams and cries from humans.

"Rumble--"

The earth was trembling violently, and the distant mountains seemed to be shaking.

"Mr. Lin Yu, over there...it seems someone over there needs help!" Alena said anxiously, pointing in the direction the voice came from.

Lin Yu listened intently to the roar...

The extremely familiar roar of Golza!
The corner of his mouth twitched.

Seriously? You're that lucky?
Just a casual touch and it transported me straight to the ancient past?

interesting.

Following the sound, the two quickly headed towards the source of the chaos.

Soon, a scene resembling the end of the world appeared before them.

Three Golza, each over sixty meters tall and with a ferocious and terrifying appearance, were rampaging across a vast plain.

With every step they take, the earth trembles and mountains shake; a single purple beam of destructive light they casually unleash can plow a bottomless trench in the ground.

In front of them, a large group of men and women dressed in white robes, who looked very much like modern humans, were fleeing in panic.

"Run, run!"

"They are subordinates of the Dark God!"

"The Giant of Light... Where is the Giant of Light?!"

Desperate cries echoed throughout the room.

Lin Yu gasped.

They were actually ancient humans who could talk!
It seems the time I traveled through time was ridiculously early.

Seeing that a Golza had raised its giant claws to trample a group of women and children who were the slowest to run, Lin Yu no longer hesitated.

"Alena, stay away."

He shouted loudly, and his entire body transformed into a golden light, soaring into the sky.

"Diga!"

A familiar light burst forth in the gloomy sky, and the composite Ultraman Tiga descended with a roar!
As soon as he appeared, he delivered a flying kick that slammed into the chest of the Golza, sending it staggering backward before exploding on the spot.

Alena: "."

One punch?

"Roar!"

Seeing this, the other two Golza immediately changed direction and rushed towards Tiga to surround him.

On the ground, the ancient humans who had narrowly escaped death stopped in their tracks, looked up at the towering giant, and erupted in cheers of relief.

"Great! The Giant of Light has come to our rescue!"

"But... this is the first time we've ever seen a giant of light like this."

"Never mind, he's protecting us!"

Lin Yu forced back a Golza with a punch. He was about to speak and tell these troublesome ancient humans to quickly hide in a safe place, since if he killed them all at once, the monster's corpse might crush many people.

However, when his gaze swept across the crowd and landed on the woman leading the evacuation, he froze.

She was a very beautiful young woman.

She had long, flowing white hair, clear blue eyes, and that... cute, round face with a touch of baby fat.

A name flashed through Lin Yu's mind in an instant.

He froze on the spot, his mouth agape in an "O" shape.

what?
Jingjian Jieming?

This...this is like bringing the whole thing to the set of Triga's movie?!
