Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 496 [5k Bonus Chapter] Absorb! The Power of the Eternal Core!
Eternal Core Space.

Lin Yu suddenly remembered the tragic fate of another unlucky old man.

Back then, Seven heard the call of the Plasma Spark Core and curiously went over to investigate, only to be kicked away by his father, Seven, and almost expelled from the Land of Light. In the end, he was even sent to Planet K76, where he and Leo were severely beaten in a juvenile detention center.

Now, it's his turn.

Called by the Eternal Core, is the next step to be tricked into becoming a free laborer for this universe for the rest of my life, dealing with the messes it has replicated itself every day?
work overtime……

This word, like a nightmare, instantly seized his heart.

"I'll fucking punch you."

Lin Yu was furious.

All he does is eat and do nothing, all he does is give me work to do, he's useless.

He instinctively wanted to punch this guy, but after looking at the unimaginable power of the other's energy, he fell silent.

It won't explode with a single punch like Belial's time-space bomb, will it?
Belial: The Time-Space Bomb will blast you Ultramen to death!

[999 Giant Max: This is what I picked up]

Forget it.

If you get angry at a mindless energy entity, you'll become mindless yourself.

Besides, if I were to actually destroy it with a single punch, the entire universe would be doomed. Wouldn't all my efforts on this journey to the ancient past have been for nothing?

Most importantly, in this universe, there is also Arena, and the group of ancient survivors whom she had just settled.

Lin Yu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and slowly lowered his fist.

The entire Eternal Core Space gradually returned to calm. The golden "sun" ceased its violent pulsation and began to emit a stable and gentle light once more.

Carmilla, Dagon, and Yusa all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had survived a disaster.

Their gazes toward Lin Yu became even more complex.

They actually want to beat up the Eternal Core?
You're practically a superman.

Lin Yu ignored their gazes.

He forcibly severed his connection with the Eternal Core, banishing those chaotic "cosmic disaster trailers" from his mind.

He looked up and glanced at the three "new employees" in front of him.

His gaze fell on Dagon's face, and his eyes were filled with pity.

Dagon felt uneasy under his gaze and couldn't help but take a step back: "Tiga... why are you looking at me like that?"

"nothing."

Lin Yu sighed and patted his shoulder. "The thing I told you about, going to my universe to work and atone for your sins, is canceled."

"Huh?" Dagon was stunned.

Where's the promised exhilarating combat?
"No, it's not that I don't want you."

Lin Yu's expression became even more sympathetic. "It's because you don't need to go to my place anymore."

He paused, then slowly said in a tone that sounded like a final judgment, "In the next thirty million years, your universe will be even more lively than mine."

Carmilla and Triga also looked over, their faces filled with confusion.

Lin Yu did not explain.

He simply let out a laugh that was difficult to decipher.

"Heh...hehe...hahaha..."

The laughter was filled with helplessness, and a sense of relief after a profound realization (giving up on treatment).

Because he had completely understood what the Eternal Core's "call" just now meant.

That was neither about recognizing one's ancestors nor about the inheritance of power.

It's overtime work, that's calling.

This universe, having replicated his experiences, is about to be filled with a whole host of the monsters and demons he once faced. Triga, this native "cosmic restraint force," while possessing immense potential, is currently clearly still a newbie character in a leveling-up village.

Are you expecting him to fight against the Golden Man, Sphia, and the Five Emperors?

What's the difference between that and expecting a toddler to participate in the Olympic triathlon?
Therefore, after creating a bunch of bugs, the irresponsible "system" Eternal Core naturally sent a distress signal to its only "data source," Lin Yu himself.

An unseen force inexplicably pulled him from the timeline of the Ultraman Tiga universe into this world.

It's hard for people to keep their composure.

Lin Yu could almost hear the crackling sound of this damn core right next to his ear.

[Dear customer, we have detected a large amount of unprocessable abnormal data. Please go online and fix it as soon as possible!]

[If the repair fails, your account and save data will be deleted, please!]

He now finally understood why he had felt a strong warning from the cosmic timeline when he wanted to directly revive the entire R'lyeh civilization.

Because the "script" of this universe has been locked by the Eternal Core.

Its future is destined to head wildly down the path of its own "shithole universe".

You can change the fate of a character, such as capturing the Dark Four to work as their underworld agents, but you can't fundamentally change the "main quest" of the entire universe.

Unless... he can completely take down the Eternal Core.

Lin Yu's gaze returned to the enormous golden sphere, his eyes becoming extremely dangerous.

“You Sha Lei,” he suddenly spoke.

“Yes, Mr. Lin Yu,” You Sha Lei replied immediately.

"You said you were the only one who could extract some of its energy without affecting the core, right?"

"Yes."

Yu Shalei nodded, her expression somewhat tense. "Its power is too vast and pure. Any external force, especially dark power, could 'contaminate' it, causing it to go out of control. Having me act as a 'filter' to extract it is the safest approach."

"Very good." Lin Yu nodded.

He glanced at Carmilla and Dagon, who were eager to try, and then at Triga, the white-clad man beside him who had no concept of power and was just curiously looking around.

He knew that these guys, especially Carmilla, still harbored illusions about the power of the Eternal Core.

It is better to block than to open up.

Instead of letting them keep thinking about it, it's better to let them experience it for themselves.

"Then, give each of the three of them a 'newbie trial pack' first," Lin Yu said calmly.

"Huh?" Yu Sha Lei was stunned.

Carmilla and Dagon's eyes lit up instantly, and their breathing became rapid.

He... he was actually willing to share the power of the Eternal Core with us?
Carmilla's heart started pounding uncontrollably.

She had just given up the idea of ​​betrayal, but this man immediately offered her an enormous temptation.

What on earth does he want to do?
Is he testing me? Or... is he really so confident that he doesn't care what we'll do with the power?
"What, you don't want to?" Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

“No, I do!” Carmilla blurted out almost immediately.

Forget about any conspiracy, let's get the power first!
This is the power of the Eternal Core. Even a tiny fraction of it would allow my strength to leap forward dramatically. And then…

"With power, I can fight more enjoyably." That's what Dagon thought before the Shizuma Naming Incident.

He is rough but very honest and meticulous. He believes in the supremacy of combat and strength and despises despicable fighting methods that involve setting traps for enemies.

The person I hate the most is Hitram.

He always hopes to settle things with an evenly matched force. The more evenly matched the opponent's strength is, the more he can unleash his full potential. Therefore, his favorite person is Dark Triga.

Of course, Dagon only felt respect for the strong when it came to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu ignored them and just looked at You Shalei.

Yu Sha Lei hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "I understand. However, only a very small portion can be extracted, otherwise it will affect the stability of the core."

"enough."

A wicked smile curled at the corner of Lin Yu's lips. "Let them... experience in advance the 'intensity of their work' in the future."

Although Yu Sha Lei didn't understand what he meant, she still did as he said.

She walked to the altar, raised her right hand again, and the ring on her finger shone brightly. "In the name of Yousaree, I beseech the Eternal Core to grant us the power to protect the world..."

As she chanted, three golden streams of light, purer and more dazzling than ever before, flew out from the enormous portal and shot toward Carmilla, Dagon, and Triga respectively.

Dagon was caught off guard and struck by the beam of light. He let out a triumphant roar as his muscles swelled up at a visible speed, brimming with explosive power.

"Wow...so strong! I feel like I have inexhaustible energy!"

Triga was also enveloped in the light, and the light on his body became softer and more solid. His whole body began to radiate golden light, as if he was about to transform into the shining eternal Triga. However, the golden light flickered for a while and then dimmed.

The fragments weren't strong enough, after all, they were only one-third of the original size.

Lin Yu turned around and walked towards the eternal core, leaving only his back view.

"Alena, I'll go in first."

Lin Yu's figure disappeared into the giant sphere of light, leaving behind a bewildered Arena and three giants with different expressions who had just received the "newbie gift pack".

Dagon was the happiest. He clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within him—a sense of fulfillment he had never experienced before. He even had a fleeting illusion that he might now be able to exchange a few blows with the monstrous Dark Tiga from before.

Carmilla, however, wore the most complex expression.

She was both awestruck by the power of this force and humiliated by its source.

She didn't steal it through her own abilities; it was given to her by that man... as a favor.

This realization was like a sharp thorn, deeply embedded in her proud heart. She subconsciously looked at the dazzling sphere of light, her eyes filled with struggle.

He went in... He actually went in alone.

Wasn't he afraid that I would attack him from behind while he was absorbing power? Or was he simply not taking me seriously, so confident that even if I obtained all the power of the Eternal Core, I would still be no match for him?
The thought made Carmilla's body tremble slightly, not from fear, but from a sense of powerlessness that rose from the bottom of her heart after being utterly despised.

At the same time, Lin Yu, who had stepped into the Eternal Core, felt as if he had been thrown into a washing machine, specifically the kind that spins dry at supersonic speed.

Lin Yu:.
Oh no, this place has a strong aftereffect.

Everything around us lost its form, and the concepts of time and space became blurred.

He seemed to see a singularity exploding, witness the birth and destruction of countless nebulae, and hear the most primordial cry at the beginning of the universe.

Magnificent, vast, and endless.

Any language seems pale and powerless in the face of such a scene.

When the dizziness finally subsided, Lin Yu found himself in a pure golden sea of ​​light.

There is no distinction between up, down, left, or right here, only endless light and heat, warm but not scorching.

In the very center of the sea of ​​light, the enormous golden sphere he had seen outside floated silently, like the heart of this universe, its pulse causing the entire sea of ​​light to undulate with it.

"Is this... the interior of the Eternal Core?"

Lin Yu muttered to himself.

He could feel every cell in his body rejoicing under the influence of this sea of ​​light.

The power of the nine dragons circulated automatically within his body, greedily absorbing the surrounding dissipated energy.

The feeling was like someone who had been thirsty in the desert for three days and three nights suddenly plunging into a clear spring in an oasis.

thump—

That intense sense of resonance deep within my soul resurfaced, clearer than ever before.

Lin Yu stopped resisting and completely opened his mind, letting the resonance lead him to the center of the sea of ​​light.

He knew that this thing was an irresponsible, cosmic-level printer that had completely replicated the mess of his cesspool universe and wanted to drag him over as free labor.

But on the other hand...

This universe was born because of its own existence.

So, as the "origin" of all this, it's not unreasonable for me to take some "child support" from it, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Yu felt much better.

He hovered in front of the enormous golden "sun," feeling the intimate energy fluctuations that felt like seeing a family member. He cleared his throat, and his face revealed an unprecedented solemnity and reverence.

"I, Lin Yu, have come this far by slaying the Conch of Resentment, destroying the Demon of Destruction, and crushing the Evil God of Annihilation. All of this is thanks to my own tenacious will and outstanding talent."

His voice echoed in the space, carrying an undeniable certainty.

“I had no intention of doing this, but since you have extended such a warm invitation, then for the sake of the future peace and stability of this universe, and for the sake of the life that is about to be born to live ‘Smailo’, I will accept this heavy responsibility without hesitation.”

He abruptly changed his tone, his expression shifting instantly from righteous indignation to matter-of-fact acceptance.

"So, as an advance payment for my future hard work, and as compensation for the emotional distress you've caused me..."

Lin Yu slowly stretched out his hand, his five fingers spread, facing the golden sun before him.

"Eternal Core, give me some points!"

boom--! !

As if hearing his heartfelt cry, the entire golden sea of ​​light boiled over at that moment!

The enormous golden sun burst forth with unprecedented brilliance, and an indescribably thick torrent of golden energy, like a galaxy hanging upside down from the heavens, poured into Lin Yu's body!

"What the hell?"

Lin Yu's composure was instantly replaced by astonishment.

He envisioned the "addition" as a gentle, subtle infusion of energy, but this thing turned out to be like a fire hydrant being forcefully poured into his mouth!
The purity and magnitude of that energy far exceeded his imagination.

In just a moment, his body, which had been tempered and made indestructible by the power of the five dragons, felt a sharp pain that was too much to bear.

"Is it such a big deal?"

Lin Yu dared not delay and immediately began to fully circulate the power of the Nine Dragons within his body, attempting to guide, divert, and absorb this tyrannical energy.

The spacetime power of Goldras, the spatial power of Silvergum, the telekinesis of the Ren dragon, the teleportation and vibration of Zetton... the five powers are like five high-speed engines, frantically absorbing the surging energy.

However, the energy of the Eternal Core seemed inexhaustible, and the rate at which it was poured in far exceeded the rate at which he could digest it.

Lin Yu felt like a balloon about to burst, his body filled to the brim with that golden energy.

No, if this continues, I'm going to burst.

At this critical moment, the fifth power within him, which had been relatively dormant for a long time—the power of the cosmic bomb monster Valaron—suddenly stirred.

If the other four powers are "containers" passively receiving energy, then the power of Valaron is like an awakened black hole, actively, greedily, and frantically devouring this golden torrent.

Valaron, the cosmic bomb monster.

This is the fifth type of dragon power that Lin Yu has awakened, and it is also the power that he uses the least on a daily basis.

It's not that it's weak; on the contrary, its ability is extremely abnormal—it can convert all other abilities into "bombs" and release them.

A trillion-degree fireball? It can be transformed into a trillion-degree explosive fireball, and it can explode a second time after being thrown.

Spatial rift? It can be transformed into a spatial bomb, thrown out like a hand grenade, blasting open a spatial fault.

This is an extremely powerful "enchantment" or "modification" ability, but it also requires extremely high energy consumption and precise control. Lin Yu previously used it more as a surprise trump card and rarely used it frequently in regular battles.

But now, this force, which has always kept a low profile, has shown an unprecedented "appetite".

The violent, almost overwhelming, eternal core energy, upon contact with the power of Valaron, was like a child finding its mother, and it obediently and willingly fed it.

The pressure inside Lin Yu's body suddenly eased.

He was stunned.

what's the situation?
Are we... really that compatible?
He could clearly feel the progress bar of Valaron's power rising at a visible speed. It was a qualitative transformation, as if an ordinary piece of iron ore had been forged and tempered into a divine weapon that could cut through iron like mud.

A flash of inspiration instantly struck Lin Yu's mind.

The Eternal Core, born from the singularity of the Big Bang, is the root of creation, and its essence is the most extreme and fundamental "explosion".

Valaron, the cosmic bomb monster, also has "explosion" as its core power.

One is a cosmic-scale Big Bang, and the other is a monstrous-scale energy explosion.

The two concepts are actually common at their root!

"Holy crap, you can do that?"

Lin Yu was both surprised and delighted.

This is a perfect match, a match made in heaven!
