Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 495 Lin Yu: I've Become the Origin of the Triga Universe?
As soon as Lin Yu uttered those words, the energy flow within the entire Eternal Core Space seemed to find an outlet, and began to converge towards Lin Yu.

That wasn't an attack; it was more like an... intimate embrace.

"How could this be?"

Yu Shalei's face turned somewhat pale. As the priestess most closely connected to the Eternal Core, she could perceive the changes in the core more clearly than others. "Its energy is becoming unstable... Mr. Lin Yu, please be careful! The Eternal Core has no consciousness; it is merely a pure energy aggregate. However, it will instinctively respond to, and even amplify, the emotions and power of those who come into contact with it."

respond?

Lin Yu's heart was beating faster and faster; he couldn't ignore the sense of resonance that came from the depths of his soul.

He simply closed his eyes, transforming that immense mental power, powerful enough to shake a planet, into the gentlest of tendrils, and cautiously reached out.

He recalled his past communication with the strange bird, Sira.

Voice of the Stars.

The moment his mental power came into contact with that dazzling light, countless chaotic images rushed into his mind like a flood bursting its banks.

That wasn't a conversation, nor was it a memory.

Those were paintings, images, longings from a distant universe captured by this cosmic singularity at the very beginning of its birth.

In the scene, a giant in red, purple and silver fights a ferocious monster in the city. Sometimes he transforms into the red Happy type, shaking the earth with his strength; sometimes he transforms into the blue Speed ​​type, tearing the sky apart with his speed.

That's... Ultraman Tiga.

Lin Yu's mind was slightly shaken.

Then, the scene shifts.

The pyramid shattered with a deafening roar, two stone statues were mercilessly destroyed by the monster, and the only remaining giant, whose chest clock had gone dark, lay lifeless in the ruins.

Darkness enveloped the land, and an evil god, releasing black mist to obscure the sky, slowly rose from the depths of the ocean, its countless tentacles bringing despair and death. That was Gatanothor.

Lin Yu's breath hitched for a moment.

This is not his experience; it is what he knows well—the original Tiga universe, the final holy war that Daigo experienced, called "To the Glorious Ones."

In the scene, children from all over the world hold up their toys, flashlights, and even faint candlelight. With their innocent voices, they shout, turning the purest hope in their hearts into rays of golden light, flying towards the fallen giant.

As light converges, a miracle is born.

The giant rose again, his body enveloped in an indescribable, dazzling golden light—the ultimate form that dispelled all darkness and brought forth all hope.

Shining Ultraman Tiga!

Looking at the light, Lin Yu understood something.

I see……

He instantly understood all the mysteries about the universe.

The Triga universe itself is a replica of a similar yet different world, created because the Eternal Core, at the time of its birth, captured the strong longing of people from the Tiga universe for that hero, "hoping that he could return again."

Therefore, there are almost identical ancient civilizations here, similar dark giants, and Yusa Lei who looks just like Yu Lian.

That's why Shizuma Mitsukuni from that universe was attracted and traveled here.

Therefore, even Dyna, that cosmic being, as well as Sphia and the Kirieloids, will be drawn by this cross-dimensional power of longing and ultimately appear on this stage.

The root of everything is longing.

It is the power of hope.

A long-lost warmth welled up in Lin Yu's heart.

He thought of his own universe.

At the beginning of that timeline, after a series of fierce battles with the Five Emperors and Softia, Tiga exhausted his energy and collapsed completely in front of the pyramid, and no one knew his name anymore.

A month later, humanity reached its final end.

Mother Earth is kind; she gave birth to the ancient plant Zigera, whose yellow pollen, exuding sweet dreams, is a final act of tenderness to humankind.

Lin Yu once thought that world had ended.

Ultraman Tiga lost his light, and people lost their hopes for the future. How can the flower of hope bloom again on the wasteland?

He couldn't find the answer.

Until... that boy named Chiki, with his small body and wisdom, lit up the entire office building.

That light was so dazzling in the darkness of the apocalypse.

It dispelled the evil spirits and illuminated the confused hearts of all the survivors in the shelter. In that artificial sea of ​​light, they once again felt the breath of civilization and rediscovered something called "hope".

The miracle happened at that very moment.

The hopes of everyone, plus Lin Yu's own hopes, enabled Tiga to stand up again.

Those scenes were replaying in Lin Yu's mind, as clear as if they were yesterday.

He felt as if he had returned to that time, back to those carefree days when he didn't have to think about how to refuse overtime every day, or have to outwit a group of crazy beauties.

However, just as he was immersed in this remembrance, the images in his mind began to change.

Shining Tiga's figure remains majestic.

But the enemy he faced was no longer the ugly evil god Gatanothor.

Instead, it was a dark demon, entirely black, with a form resembling the Giant of Light, radiating an aura of endless despair and terror.

Dark Zaki!

The smile on Lin Yu's face slowly froze.

wrong.

This is not right!
His eyes widened suddenly, his heart pounding. I remember the birth of the Triga universe was due to people's longing for the original Tiga after he defeated Gatanothor and disappeared... What does this have to do with my parallel world's Tiga?

But the scene before my eyes was clearly the scene where I, in that future dominated by Dark Zagi, finally transformed into Shining Tiga and completely defeated him!

An absurd, outrageous, yet uniquely reasonable thought exploded in his mind like a thunderclap.

Could it be... Masaka?!
This eternal core, at its inception, did not capture the longing from Daigo's universe...

Or is it from my universe?

That’s not right!
Lin Yu's lips began to twitch uncontrollably.

I'm not dead yet, why are you already starting to mourn me?!
This universe...

Was it because of me that I was born?!

The moment this thought popped into his head, Lin Yu couldn't hold back any longer.

What is this thing called?

I've become the official version?
In the Ultraman Tiga IP, he himself, a guy from a parallel universe, becomes the origin of another parallel universe.

That instantly elevates their seniority!

Lin Yu couldn't understand it, but he was deeply shocked.

He felt his worldview being repeatedly shattered and pieced back together by this silent, eternal core in just a few seconds, finally being molded into an extremely absurd shape.

Carmilla also sensed something was wrong. She saw that the energy points that had gathered around Lin Yu's body were flashing wildly at an extremely unstable frequency.

"Stay away from him."

Yu Shalei hurriedly shouted, "The Eternal Core is resonating with his spirit, and his emotions are affecting the core's stability."

Lin Yu couldn't hear anything from the outside world at that moment.

He was desperately trying to untangle this mess in his mind.

He recalled the various settings about Triga that he had read in his previous life.

According to screenwriter Naoki Hisaya, the Eternal Core was too powerful for the universe, so the will of the universe itself gave birth to the embodiment of light—Torija—as a counterforce.

Therefore, Triga is roughly equivalent to the "Gaia" or "Regedo" of this universe, and is the manifestation of the universe's own will.

Whether he is light or darkness, his ultimate destiny is only one path—to enter the eternal core and become the "fuse" that suppresses its power, endlessly working the sewing machine inside.

Because the Eternal Core captured the information about "Tiga" that included the experience of moving from darkness to light, Triga also had to go through this process.

Then the problem is coming.

Lin Yu's gaze pierced through the chaotic images in his mind and landed back on the white-clad youth standing not far from him, with an innocent and bewildered expression—the Light Triga.

The force of restraint is right in front of you, so why are you calling out to me?
Lin Yu felt his blood pressure soaring.

Just then, the Eternal Core seemed to sense his intense doubt and sent out a completely new scene.

This time, Lin Yu was completely shocked by the astonishing "wisdom" displayed by this thing that had no self-awareness.

The battle between light and darkness is no longer depicted in the scene.

Instead, they were figures that were ferocious and terrifying, figures that he recognized all too well.

Because in the world of Ultraman Tiga, there is the dark ruler Gatanothor, this universe gave birth to the evil god Megalojehorr, who is his counterpart.

Because the original ancient world contained the three dark giants, Hitra, Darram, and Carmilla, this universe also contains Carmilla, Dagon, and Hitra.

Up to this point, everything is still reasonable and "paying homage".

but……

but……

Lin Yu's expression gradually changed from shock to awe, and finally to utter despair.

He saw a golden figure tear through space with an arrogant manner, descending into this universe, shouting the arrogant words, "Offer the Eternal Core to the Kingdom."

Absolut Tartarus.

There is also a Bighorn cow.

He then saw countless black and white spheres, like locusts swarming across the land, devouring planet after planet, eventually converging into a giant spherical fortress hidden within a black hole that swallowed all light.

Dark planet Gransphia II.

Such scenes continued to occur. Lin Yu even saw what appeared to be some aliens wielding swords lurking behind the distorted void. Various monsters and the resentment of the aliens began to combine again, turning into some nonsensical creature called Dark Ultra Killer.

Lin Yu's scalp tingled instantly.

His facial muscles twitched wildly, and finally, a rant came from the depths of his soul.

"Damn it, you copied all the stuff from my shithole universe?!"

"what?"

"Are you even human?!"

At that moment, Lin Yu finally understood.

The Eternal Core, the singularity of the origin of this universe, was not connected to the original Tiga universe at the beginning of its birth due to some unknown spacetime ripple. Instead, it was connected to its own parallel universe, which it jokingly called the "ultimate Frankenstein's monster cesspool".

It's like an over-configured 3D printer, faithfully replicating all the "data" it received—that is, everything Lin Yu experienced and fought—into this newborn universe.

Not only did they replicate the main character, but they also included every single villain the main character faced, all of them, as a bonus.

Buy one get a free family bucket meal, right?!
Lin Yu's vision went black, and he almost fainted on the spot.
