Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 647 Zeta World, what does it mean when the apprentices have all retired, but the master is still working overtime?

First, there was complete darkness.

Then, a flash of light appeared.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing on the edge of a dense forest.

This is a strange world...

Just as Lin Yu was about to make a comment, a whooshing sound came from above his head.

He subconsciously tilted his head.

Whoosh-!
A huge tree, as thick as three people could hug, grazed his scalp, flew sideways, and crashed into a distant mountain wall, shattering into countless wood chips.

Lin Yu slowly turned his head, looking at the remains of the tree, a huge question mark appearing above his head.

"??"

what's the situation?
Is the welcoming ceremony really this enthusiastic?

Before he could even complain, the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently.

"Roar--!"

With three distinct roars, three enormous creatures burst forth from the forest, turning the clearing in front of them into a battlefield.

One of them is Gomes, an ancient monster with a huge carapace on its back, resembling a beetle.

One of them is a molten iron monster, Dimaga, whose entire body is made of lava and whose mouth constantly spews out scorching heat.

There was also a subterranean monster, Bagos, that emerged from the ground, wagging its tail.

Opposite the three-headed monster, a huge figure gleaming with metallic luster stood in a standard fighting stance, ready for battle.

It was a robot that looked very similar to Ultraman Zero, but whose entire body was made of machinery.

Special Aircraft No. 4, Mechanical Zero!

Lin Yu was stunned when he saw this.

"I Chao?!"

He blurted out a curse word without thinking.

This scene, this monster, this robot...

"You've taken me all the way to the future Zeta Universe?!"

No, no, I came here following the trajectory of the D4 device, how did I end up in the future?
Could it be... that I've traveled to the future?!
"Three against one? But the advantage is mine."

Inside the cockpit of Mecha Zero, a girl with short, neat hair and a determined look—Yoko Nakajima—pushed the control stick forcefully.

Mecha Zero's elbows erupted with powerful steam, and his massive body unleashed astonishing power disproportionate to its size. A powerful punch slammed into Dimaga's face, sending the lava monster staggering backward.

Immediately afterwards, it nimbly sidestepped Gomes's charge, and at the same time, the missile launchers on its shoulders activated, and several missiles accurately hit Bagos, which was attacking from underground, causing its armor to fly off.

Yoko skillfully maneuvered this enormous weapon of war, fighting three opponents single-handedly without being at a disadvantage.

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of an "ordinary person" standing in the woods at the edge of the battlefield, looking completely bewildered.

"Why is there still someone here?!"

Yoko was horrified.

She immediately manipulated Mecha Zero, attempting to steer the battlefield away from the civilian.

But Gomes seized on her momentary lapse in concentration and delivered a powerful headbutt, slamming it hard into Mecha Zero's back.

boom!
Mechazero stumbled, its back armor emitting blinding sparks, and alarms blared in the cockpit.

"hateful!"

Yoko gritted her teeth, ignoring the damage to her body, and shouted loudly in Lin Yu's direction through the external loudspeaker, "It's dangerous there! Get out of there!"

Lin Yu stood there, looking like he had a headache.

Should I tell her that I'm not afraid of being stepped on by monsters at all, and that I can even step on monsters instead?
Well, since we're here for the D4 device, let's try not to interfere with the normal operation of this world before we figure out the situation.

He nodded, turned and walked deeper into the forest, intending to find a safe place to watch the show.

However, he had only taken a few steps when two new monstrous auras emerged from the direction he had left.

One of them was a sea lion-like, ice-blue sea beast, King Grass.

On the other side was Tegon, an oil monster covered in black slime and emitting a pungent odor.

Moreover, the two monsters had a very clear goal: they were after Mecha Zero.

Lin Yu: "??"

Oh no, they're all coming at me!
Just at this critical moment, a dazzling light descended from the sky. "Wow!"

A figure in red, blue, and silver landed steadily in front of Lin Yu; it was Ultraman Zeta's Alpha Armor form.

Zeta, wielding the Zeta Light Crossbow, flicked his wrist, instantly switching the crossbow to chain blade mode. He then unleashed a set of impressive sword techniques, stopping the two monsters, King Glass and Tegon.

Seeing that Ultraman had come to the rescue, Lin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, found a big tree to lean against, and prepared to rest for a while.

Just then, a voice filled with shock and uncertainty rang in his ears.

"master?!"

Lin Yu turned around in confusion.

A handsome man with a hint of wickedness in his eyes, dressed in the armory captain's uniform, stood not far away, staring at him with a look of utter disbelief.

Lin Yu's eyes widened instantly.

"Holy crap! Jugglus?!"

Jugglus quickly stepped forward and carefully examined Lin Yu from head to toe. After confirming that the unique spacetime fluctuations on Lin Yu's body indicated that he was not some imposter from a parallel world, the shock on his face did not diminish at all.

"Master, what brings you here?"

"That's what I was going to ask you."

Lin Yu scratched his head. "I remember, didn't we just separate not long ago on that hot spring planet in universe O-50? How come you're here in uniform?"

Upon hearing this, Jugglus remained silent for a moment, then looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at an ancient relic, and retorted, "So you came from the past. I almost forgot that it's been at least a thousand years since we parted ways."

"Huh?" Lin Yu was stunned.

Thousands of years?
"The flow of time is different in different universes."

"What you've experienced might be a period of time that feels like a lifetime to me," Jugglus Juggler explained. "That's normal."

He patted Lin Yu on the shoulder, his shock turning into a hint of nostalgia and heartfelt joy.

"However, Master, you've come at just the right time."

A familiar, amused smile appeared on Jugglus Juggler's lips. "A good show is about to begin."

He pointed to Zeta and Mecha Zero fighting in the distance and explained succinctly.

“There is a parasitic life form called Cerebro that is playing a boring trick called ‘the self-destruction game’ on this planet.”

"Simply put, it's about creating external pressure, like these monsters, to stimulate this civilization. Then, through various coincidences, some dangerous, world-destroying powers are handed over to this civilization. In order to protect themselves, they continuously develop these powers until finally, Cerebro controls their ultimate scientific creations and turns around to destroy the entire civilization."

"This is what is known as the game of civilization's self-destruction."

Lin Yu nodded, indicating his understanding.

"There are similar guys in my world too,"

He casually remarked, "But because my world was going to be destroyed every few days, making too much noise, he couldn't play it anymore. Later, I killed him because he was too noisy."

Jagula: "???"

Squeezed...squeezed to death?

Looking at Lin Yu's nonchalant "the weather's nice today" expression, he felt his heart, which had been dormant for a thousand years, begin to stir again.

As expected of my master, he's still so unreasonable.

"cough,"

Jugglus cleared his throat, forcibly steer the conversation back on track, "Anyway, I'm currently on Earth, the captain of the Armory, using the alias Hebikura Shota. Please call me by that name from now on, Master."

"Okay, Hebikura."

Lin Yu readily agreed, then suddenly remembered something, "I didn't expect you to have become a captain, you've really made something of yourself. By the way, where's Kai? Where's he hanging out again?"

When that name was mentioned, Jugglus's expression turned somewhat strange.

"Kai?"

He curled his lip. "That guy, I think he opened some kind of 'Wanderer's Free-Style Fried Noodles' shop. After all, we're all retired now."

Lin Yu's expression froze.

He pointed at Jugglus Juggler, then at himself, and shouted in an incredulous tone:

"wipe?!"

"I, as the master, haven't even retired yet, but my apprentices are already living a retired life?!"
