Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 617 Monster Chief
In another dimensional space isolated from reality, Lin Yu's figure floated silently.

Opposite him was Grugram, who had been forcibly dragged in; it appeared agitated and restless due to the intense pain and the sudden change in environment.

Lin Yu slowly raised his right hand, and the Divine Light Staff appeared in the light.

“tiga”.

A dazzling light burst forth, and a giant with three interwoven colors descended upon this golden space.

Facing the monster that shouldn't exist before him, Tiga slowly clenched his fist.

Within the Rainbow Magic Realm, golden light particles appeared like a dream.

Grugram rammed into the barriers of this space like a madman, but only stirred up ripples, unable to shake them in the slightest.

It finally realized that it was trapped in an inescapable cage, and turned all its anger and tyranny towards the tiny giant in front of it.

"Roar!"

The three crystals on its back shone brightly, and its body began to become translucent as it attempted to activate its phase shift ability again.

However, Lin Yu just stared at it coldly.

"Playing space jumps in my spacetime?"

He raised his hand and gently shook it.

hum!
The entire space within the domain instantly solidified, becoming more stable than the hardest alloy in the universe. Grugram's phase shift was forcibly interrupted, and his translucent body was squeezed out of the dimensional rift with a painful cry.

"There's no way to escape now, is there?"

He clenched his fist, his arm muscles bulging slightly.

The next second, he grabbed the sharp horn on Grugram's head, used his waist strength, and actually lifted the 50,000-ton behemoth off the ground, swung it over his head, and slammed it hard to the other side.

Boom!

The land of light trembled violently.

The crystals on Gruglem's back, which served as phase-shifting control organs, shattered instantly upon impact.

Before it could struggle to its feet, Tiga's figure had already teleported in front of it.

There are no fancy lighting skills, only the purest and most primal violence.

A knee strike imbued with terrifying power landed precisely on Gruglem's abdomen.

"Crack!"

The hard, rock-like carapace shattered instantly, and countless cracks spread out like a spider web.

Then came a barrage of punches.

boom! boom!
Each punch was accompanied by the deafening sound of shells shattering and the painful howls of the alien beasts.

Tiga gave his opponent no chance to breathe. He straddled Gruglem and punched him repeatedly, using the ferocious predator as a giant punching bag.

The battle was a one-sided massacre from the very beginning.

Finally, with Tiga's final powerful punch, Gruglem's entire head was smashed into his chest cavity. His body twitched weakly twice before becoming completely still.

But Lin Yu knew that this was not the end.

Simply killing alien beasts is far from enough.

Ultraman Tiga slowly stood up, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and golden light began to gather.

Instead of using the conventional Zepelion Ray, he unleashed a more destructive force.

That is the explosive power of Valaron, the cosmic bomb monster, capable of completely disintegrating matter at the most basic particle level.

A crimson beam of light, crackling with golden lightning, burst forth from Tiga's right arm and struck Gruglem's corpse with pinpoint accuracy.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only silent annihilation.

Under the power of the explosive bomb, Gruglem's massive body, along with the alien beast factor within it, was broken down inch by inch, reduced to the most primitive energy particles, and finally completely dissipated in this space of light, leaving not a trace.

After the battle ended, Tiga deactivated his transformation, and Lin Yu reappeared.

He stood quietly in this empty space, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed. He was searching, searching for that unique, telepathic resonance of vibrational waves between alien beasts.

If there's a mastermind behind it all, and if other alien beasts exist, then there must be a network connecting them. Finding the nodes of this network will allow us to trace the source.

however……

A minute passed.

There was nothing there. This universe was so quiet, it was as if he were the only person there.

There was no resonance, no echo, no internet.

It was as if the Gruglem he had just destroyed was truly just an isolated individual born by chance.

Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes, his brows furrowing even deeper.

A question mark hangs over my head.

This is not reasonable.

The birth of a mutant beast requires extremely demanding conditions; it is impossible for one to suddenly appear out of nowhere.

If there isn't a unified "server" spreading the virus, then where did this Grugram come from?
Could it be that... I didn't clean it up properly enough? Is there still a forgotten corner where fragments of the "unknown hand" remain?

Lin Yu couldn't figure out the answer. This kind of puzzle without any clues was the most troublesome for him.

He waved his hand, dispelling the Rainbow Magic Realm.

Outside, the Iiyama mountain range remains bathed in gentle breezes.

He brought the three surviving climbers down the mountain and notified the TPC, informing them that the monster in the area had been eliminated and the missing persons had been safely found, and asked them to send someone to handle the aftermath.

Having done all this, he took one last look at the now tranquil forest, shook his head, tore open a spatial rift, and left the place.

Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it. When soldiers come, we'll meet them head-on; when water comes, we'll dam it.

He refused to believe that the source could not be found, as long as any more alien beasts appeared.

If all else fails, backtrack.

There's no need to talk about martial ethics with this kind of monster; just play dirty and get away with it.

What? Rollback is too sneaky for monsters?
The existence of a mechanism is its own justification; go and have your say to the boundaries of space and time.

Shortly after Lin Yu left.

A figure appeared silently at the spot where Gruglem had last disappeared.

It was a monster with an extremely peculiar appearance.

It walks upright like a human, has a robust body, and dark brown skin.

The most peculiar thing about it is its head. Its head is covered with colorful, magnificent feathers, like those of an Indian chief, and it has a long white beard hanging down from its chin. Its eyes gleam with a light that is completely different from ordinary monsters, full of wisdom and majesty.

Monster Chief Geronimon.

It slowly crouched down, extended its clawed hand, and gently brushed it across the ground, as if sensing something.

A moment later, it stood up, shook its head, and let out a low, unintelligible growl, as if talking to itself.

Geronimon's gaze seemed to pierce through the barriers of space, allowing him to see the battle that had just taken place in another dimension.

It saw how Gruglem was easily imprisoned in a cage by the red, silver, and purple giant, then beaten mercilessly until he was completely disintegrated by a strange white light.

A hint of human disdain flashed in Geronimon's eyes.

It possesses the superpower to resurrect dead monsters, but its resurrection is selective.

In its view, a "beast" like Gruglam, which only knows how to hunt according to instinct and has no tactics or intelligence whatsoever, has no value in being resurrected again.

It's such a waste of its power.

Geronimon turned around, its intelligent gaze fixed on the distant city of Tokyo.

That's where it's headed.

Its challenge is against the guardian of this planet, the giant with red, silver, and purple markings, and humanity, which prides itself on being the most intelligent of all beings.

Once it resurrects all the monsters, it will wage a grand war to prove who is the best ruler on this planet.

[Geronimon, a monster with exceptionally high intelligence, is most unique in that, unlike other monsters that have appeared so far, none have aimed to attack humans. Geronimon is the first monster to challenge both humans and Ultraman according to its own will, demonstrating a clearly planned aggressive intent and possessing higher intelligence than other monsters.]

Grugram was merely a trivial appetizer before its plans began.

Geronimon's figure slowly turned around and disappeared, as if he had never been there.

Lin Yu appeared in the dense forest at some point, quietly watching it appear and then leave.

"So, criminals do check their crime scenes after all? The ancients were right."

So it was you, you wicked beast, who was up to all this!
Now the chicken's feet are showing, aren't they?
