Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 560 The Pragmatic Monster
In the eye of the storm, Nijika Gaki's enormous head tilted slightly, as if listening to some incomprehensible sound.

Lin Yu, holding an umbrella, stood still. Through the Voice of the Stars, his consciousness had transcended the boundaries of matter and touched the other party's rock-solid, silent core.

no respond.

But countless fragmented images and sounds, like a flood bursting its banks, surged into his mind in the opposite direction.

The parched earth, the withered rice seedlings, and a village chief dressed in ancient attire led the entire village, young and old, to kneel before the ancient shrine, their voices hoarse as they prayed: "Lord Rainbow Serpent God, please send down the sweet rain!"

The scene shifts to a more modern town, where people are gathered around a dried-up well. An elderly woman with white hair strokes a stone engraved with a seven-colored rainbow, muttering, "Please, if it doesn't rain soon, we won't be able to survive."

The sound of prayer has transcended hundreds of years.

Images of prayers are found in every corner of this land.

Each time, it happens when a severe drought strikes, and all things wither. Each time, it happens during humanity's most desperate prayers.

Then, the upside-down rainbow will appear.

Nijikajachi will awaken from her slumber, travel along an unchanging ancient route through the villages of prayer, shower down rains of grace, and then return to silence once more.

It neither destroys nor causes trouble; like an ancient machine with a pre-programmed sequence, it faithfully fulfills a certain contract with humanity.

Lin Yu's consciousness withdrew from that vast "historical record," and the expression on his face became somewhat strange.

Faith and monsters can be combined so closely.

This is no longer a simple symbiosis, but a kind of... living deity defined by human desires.

They are responsive to requests without causing trouble, focusing on practicality.

Isn't this the kind of deity that our Dongda University wants most?

He suddenly remembered something and realized what it meant.

"No wonder..."

Lin Yu couldn't help but complain, "No wonder in Blaze's TV series, when Yokomine was fishing, he could still hear the voice of the Rainbow Serpent God that Blaze had killed."

"So as long as someone remembers it and thinks about it, it will never truly die? At most, it will just be reborn in a different body?"

This guy is a bit sneaky.

However, looking at this huge creature silently enduring the rain and bringing water to the earth, Lin Yu's perception of it had quietly changed from "troublesome monster" to "good."

We're all colleagues on Earth, and all of us are from the divine realm, so there's no need for fighting and killing.

Moreover, this thing clearly favors humans to an extreme. Whatever humans need it to do, it will do it.

“Haki Rainbow,”

Lin Yu looked up at the enormous silhouette and asked, "Do you love humans that much?"

He scratched his head, feeling a bit tricky.

Trying to communicate with it yourself is like casting pearls before swine.

The other party's action logic did not include the option of "visiting and chatting with neighbors".

and many more.

wrong.

It doesn't listen to me because I'm communicating with it as an "Earth colleague".

But if it loves humans that much...

Lin Yu looked down at himself.

Am I not human?

It doesn't seem right either.

Its favor seems to be directed towards specific humans who possess the "seven-colored bracelet." It operates according to that person's initial prayer ritual.

It will automatically shut down after it finishes.

"So, the essence of this thing is actually a voice-controlled program?"

Seeing that communication was completely ineffective, Lin Yu stopped wasting his energy.

He carried the umbrella and turned to walk back the way he came.

In the rain, the command vehicle stood still, its headlights piercing through the mist and illuminating a small area.

Upon seeing Lin Yu return, the car door immediately opened.

Xianren looked at him, his face full of worry: "Mr. Lin Yu, how is he?"

"The chat is over."

Lin Yu folded his umbrella, got into the car, and sighed. "Finished talking?"

The stringed man was taken aback. "You...communicated with it?"

"That's it."

Lin Yu slumped in his seat, looking exhausted, and complained, "This Earth colleague of mine is a bit old-fashioned. He only listens to the programmers he designates, and the system version is too old to be updated online."

Gento was completely confused, but Risa blinked as if she understood something.

The three did not linger any longer. The command vehicle turned around and sped towards SKaRD's temporary base.

Inside the base, the team members immediately came to greet their captain when they saw him return.

When Aobe Megumi saw Lin Yu following behind Gento, her eyes lit up instantly: "Mr. Lin Yu! You actually came too!"

Immediately, her gaze was drawn to Risa, who was standing next to Lin Yu.

"Wow, what a cute little sister!"

Huimei's face instantly lit up with a maternal smile, "Come, come, I have lots of snacks here!"

Risa's eyes lit up, and she glanced at Lin Yu instinctively.

Lin Yu smiled and nodded.

With permission granted, Risa immediately followed Emi to the rest area inside the base.

In the command room, the remaining few people gathered around the tactical screen.

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

"Captain, should we just destroy it?"

Yasunori Sakato's voice came from the screen, tinged with eagerness, "Asgaron's mod.2 is ready."

"Wait." Gento raised his hand to stop him.

He recalled Lin Yu's earlier words, and then he remembered the teacher's complicated look.

"Could it... be a monster that's beneficial to humans?"

As he spoke, Xianren brought up several news reports and displayed them on the main screen.

The front page headline of Trend News read: "Nationwide drought continues; heatwave may trigger the worst agricultural crisis in history."

The report vividly presented the water-saving advertisements from the Kanto Water Supply Bureau and the desperate faces of farmers gazing at their parched fields.

Deputy Captain Teruaki Nagakura scratched his head: "It's the same back in my hometown; many crops died from the sun."

"so……"

As Xingli looked at the news report on the screen and then at the still torrential rain outside the window, a bold guess formed in her mind: "Did it summon such a huge typhoon and torrential rain to alleviate the drought? After the rain stops and everything is over, will it leave on its own?"

This speculation eased the tension in the command center.

If that's the case, then they not only don't need to fight, they should even thank the monster.

"Yes."

One voice confirmed their guess.

Everyone turned to look at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu stroked his chin and said matter-of-factly, "It's just a program. After fulfilling the first human's wish, it will leave on its own and go back to sleep."

"Pray?"

Huiming asked curiously, "What wish?"

Everyone in the command room looked at Lin Yu curiously, waiting for an answer.

A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Lin Yu's face.

He recalled Professor Yokomine's cynical and misanthropic demeanor before he was "convinced" by physics, his attitude so skewed to the extreme, as if he wished humanity would perish quickly.

"Oh, that wish..."

Lin Yu deliberately drew out his words and spoke slowly under the expectant gazes of everyone.

"I guess it's probably... reshaping the human world?"

The command center fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone wore the same expression of horror.

"Nani?!"
