Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 626 The Mess Left by the First Elder

In the chaotic city.

"It seems we need to deal with the current troubles before leaving," Asuka Kazuma said, looking at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu nodded, a helpless, bitter smile on his face.

Well, it's time to work overtime.

The two exchanged a glance and ran in unison towards a deserted corner, their figures disappearing instantly.

"Boom——!"

In an open area on the outskirts of the city, the ground collapsed without warning, forming a huge crater.

Immediately afterwards, a grotesque mechanical object burst out of the pit and slammed heavily onto the ground.

It has insect-like compound eyes, a flat head, and a pair of huge, sickle-shaped forearms.

Covered entirely in silver-gray metallic armor, it is the [Reconnaissance Type Basaku] of the Dilos civilization.

However, at this moment, this mechanical beast, which should have been a reconnaissance unit, had an ominous scarlet light flashing in its eyes, and black lines spread across its armor surface, emitting a nauseating stench of decay.

"Roar!"

It let out a roar that didn't sound mechanical, changed direction, and aimed its massive scythe at the distant city buildings, while the energy core in its chest began to gather a dangerous light.

Just as it was about to launch its attack.

A dazzling light descended from the sky.

"Hah!"

With a clear shout, the giant Dyna, a man in blue, red, and silver, landed steadily between the mechanical beast and the city.

Without the slightest hesitation, Kazuma Asuka switched directly to Miracle Form, which shone with blue and white light.

He was well aware of the dangers of fighting near the city, where conventional attacks could easily harm innocent civilians.

Dyna clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and a blue, water-like halo appeared in his palms.

"Miracle Water Waves!"

A gentle yet powerful light barrier instantly enveloped the berserk Basaku.

The raging mechanical beast was like it was stuck in an invisible quagmire, all its movements became incredibly sluggish.

Dyna exerted force with both arms, and the light screen enveloped Basaku, slowly lifting him into the air and sending him towards the distant, uninhabited forest.

The entire process was fluid and seamless, demonstrating precise control over the force.

However, just after he sent the Basaku away, another violent tremor occurred in the underground pit.

The second, equally corrupted, bloodshot-eyed reconnaissance model, Basaku, roared out as it charged forward.

"There's more?" Dyna's heart skipped a beat.

Just then, an even brighter light shone beside him.

The giant, Ultraman Tiga, with his red, purple, and silver colors, descended with an unparalleled and domineering presence.

Lin Yu glanced at the newly appeared Basaku, then at the familiar corrupting aura emanating from it, and instantly understood what was happening.

"I see, it wasn't the Delos who declared war..."

He understood. These mechanical beasts were clearly not under the active control of the Delos people, but rather had been corrupted by some force and driven into a berserk state. However, this corrupting aura did not reach the level of a true demon beast; it was more like... a lingering poison.

Unlike Dyna, Tiga did not choose a conciliatory tactic.

The most effective way to deal with these lifeless mechanical creations is to stop them from operating as quickly as possible.

He flashed and appeared directly in front of the second Basaku.

The Bassaku swung its massive metal scythe, whistling through the air, and slashed fiercely at Tiga's neck. Tiga neither dodged nor evaded, but simply raised his left hand.

"clang--!"

A deafening metallic clang.

The sharp scythe, capable of slicing through a tank, was abruptly stopped by an irresistible force the moment it touched Tiga's palm, unable to advance even an inch further.

A scrambled string of data flashed in Basaku's crimson electronic eyes, seemingly unable to comprehend the physical strength of the creature before him.

Tiga clenched his five fingers, gripping its scythe arm firmly like an iron clamp.

Immediately afterwards, he clenched his right fist, and a purple light flashed across the knuckles.

"boom!"

A simple, unadorned straight punch landed precisely on Basaku's chest, right at his core.

The violent force instantly pierced through the thick armor, shattering its internal energy core.

The red light in Basaku's eyes quickly dimmed, his massive body swayed, and he collapsed to his knees, turning into a pile of scrap metal.

As he dealt with the mechanical beast, Tiga's psychic power surged into the underground pit like an invisible tide, probing along the passage.

After confirming that there was no third berserk Basaku underground, he withdrew his telekinesis.

Almost simultaneously, the two Ultramen defeated their respective opponents.

Two even faster black shadows rushed out from the depths of the ground.

Those were two larger, more heavily armed, and entirely black [Combat Type Basaku].

Upon their appearance, they immediately fired high-energy lasers at the two incapacitated reconnaissance Basaku, completely destroying them.

After doing all this, the cockpits of the two combat-type Basaku opened, and several Delos people dressed in beige robes landed on the ground and quickly ran to Tiga and Dyna.

Leading the group was the young driver who had previously guided Lin Yu and the others into the temple.

He looked at the two giants of light, his face filled with apology and anxiety.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Tiga, and this... new Giant of Light."

He bowed respectfully to Dyna, "We are extremely sorry for the trouble we have caused to the surface world!"

Lin Yu deactivated his transformation and reverted to his human form.

Upon seeing this, Asuka Kazuma also changed back to normal.

"What exactly is going on?" Lin Yu asked, frowning.

The Dilos man's face showed a mixture of shame and anger. He gritted his teeth and explained, "All of this... is the root of the problem left behind by the Grand Elder!"

"Back then, in order to give the [Million Bakusa] the power to fight against Maga Serpent, the Grand Elder secretly unlocked the restrictions on its self-evolution program. Although you eventually destroyed that weapon, its core program was already corrupted during the period when it was demonized by the power of the [Calamity Soul]."

"That corrupted program, with its limitless evolutionary capabilities, is like a virus that infected some early models of the Balsaku through our internal network. These infected units will gradually lose control and eventually become berserk weapons that only know how to destroy."

Pointing to the remains of the Basaku, he said with great sorrow, "Recently, our Dilos civilization has been cleaning up these rampaging relics in the underground world, but we didn't expect that some of them would still slip through the net and escape to the surface."

After hearing the explanation, Lin Yu's face turned completely dark.

He took a deep breath and felt an inexplicable fire shooting straight to the top of his head.

You bastard elder!
Even in death, they couldn't rest in peace, leaving behind such a huge mess!

After all the hard work and sacrifices to quell the underground coup and eliminate the Demon King Beast, I ended up having to clean up the mess left by this old guy's stupid actions.
Lin Yu's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

He felt as if a switch in his heart had been flipped.
