Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga

And he himself, a being proficient in the power of space and time, plunged headlong into this world that was heavily favored by the abilities of the dimensional realm.

This is basically Sun Wukong jumping into the palm of Buddha, but with a super-enhanced version and a confinement effect.

Lin Yu felt that his own spacetime was probably now encased in a thick "dimensional wall" by the other party's dimensional world. Now, forget about accurately jumping back to his original point in time; he probably couldn't even leave this parallel world!

He has completely lost touch with his own world!

My world is a regular spacetime realm, while the other's is a dimensional realm!

Lin Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

The other party's abilities, in a specific field, were actually superior to his own.

This feeling is very unpleasant.

He had a vague, extremely ominous premonition.

What's worse, he remembered very clearly that whether it was the Golden Dragon King, the Silver Dragon King, or the final boss, the Dark Shadow Mage, they would only officially appear later in the story, after the previous cannon fodder monsters had all been defeated.

This means that if he doesn't actively push the plot forward, or if the plot doesn't unfold on its own, or if the mastermind simply doesn't show up, he will be trapped in this world forever.

Slacking off? Skipping work?

Don't even think about it!

After sorting through all of this, Lin Yu felt utterly exhausted.

He slowly turned his head, looked at the girl in the white dress who was still overjoyed at "finding someone who knew the truth," and asked in a tone of utter despair:

"So, what do you want me to do?"

He added weakly, "Although in my opinion, even without me, the world probably wouldn't be in any trouble, right?"

Upon hearing this, the girl in the white dress nodded excitedly, as if afraid he would change his mind.

She rushed forward and grabbed Lin Yu's hand, her eyes gleaming with the light of someone who had finally found a lifeline. She looked just like a newbie player who had finally found a powerful ally.

Hey bro! Need help getting carried!

Lin Yu: I can't bring any.

Chapter 193 A Misunderstanding Across Time and Space

The girl in the white dress stared intently at Lin Yu with eyes that sparkled with anticipation.

Risa Nanase also floated over, looking at him with the same expectant eyes.

Being watched so closely by the will of the world and the will of the red ball, Lin Yu felt immense pressure.

He wanted to do something.

For example, immediately rush out to find that so-called Golden Dragon King, and before it has a chance to cause trouble, expand its library of Nine Dragon Power materials.

Perhaps they can upgrade their own spacetime to a dimensional realm.

Alternatively, they could directly find the shadowy, lurking dark mage and let him experience firsthand what ultimate darkness truly means.

But reason told him that it wouldn't work.

My situation is roughly equivalent to a max-level character with top-tier gear being thrown into a locked newbie village by the GM under the guise of "experiencing life." Not only were my return scrolls deleted, but the server network was also cut off.

Want to leave? Sure, once you reach the end of the main storyline and defeat the final boss, the system will automatically teleport you out.

As for stirring up trouble beforehand, to alert the enemy?

Lin Yu is not stupid.

The mastermind behind this, the Dark Shadow Mage, is definitely not a simpleton, since he was able to set up such a huge scheme, using a peaceful world as bait to try and wipe out all the Ultramen from parallel worlds in one fell swoop.

If I do anything out of line, I'm afraid I'll be under their surveillance.

If I were to display any power beyond the norms of this world, or attempt to forcibly break through this "dimensional barrier," the other party would definitely become alert immediately. At that point, it's hard to say whether they would summon the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King, the gatekeepers, in advance, or simply overturn the table.

At that point, let alone going home, he might really have to live as an undocumented person in this world for the rest of his life.

This dimensional blockade by the Golden Dragon King is truly unreasonable!

He has two primary goals.

First, wait for Mebius to come, and try to learn the Ultra Signature from him, or from the other awakened Ultra Brothers.

After all, that's the real protagonist (probably).

Mebius: Huh? I was banned for the whole episode, really?

Second, find an opportunity to kill the Golden Dragon King and break the dimensional blockade of this world.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu sighed deeply, and his mindset completely calmed down.

Oh well, what's done is done. I'll just treat it as a paid vacation.

He weakly withdrew his hand, looked at the two expectant girls in front of him, and waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, I got it. But no matter how important the matter is, we need to fill our stomachs first."

Lin Yu rubbed his empty stomach and looked toward the shop with the "Beidou Bakery" sign on the street corner not far away.

"Let's go get something to eat first. Let me see what the legendary bread made by Brother Ace tastes like."

He started walking towards the bakery.

Nanase Risa cheered and happily followed beside him, with the girl in the white dress following closely behind. The trio attracted frequent glances from passersby.

As soon as you push open the glass door of the bakery, a warm aroma mixed with the scent of wheat and milk wafts out.

"welcome!"

Behind the counter, Hokuto Seiji, wearing a white apron, looked up and smiled with surprise when he saw the person who had come in.

It was the middle-aged man who had just performed the "philtrum resuscitation technique" on him by the roadside, Hokuto Seiji.

He was dressed in a pristine white chef's uniform, wearing a tall chef's hat, and exuded the warm aroma of freshly baked bread. A hearty smile graced his face.

"Oh? It's you, young man!"

Hokuto Seiji saw Lin Yu and raised an eyebrow in surprise, "You look much better!"

"thanks to you."

Lin Yu gave an awkward laugh.

His gaze was quickly drawn to the neatly arranged breads in the glass display case. Golden pineapple buns, donuts sprinkled with powdered sugar, and red bean buns filled with thick red bean paste—each one looked soft and delicious, and smelled wonderful.

"Uncle, your bread smells really good."

"Of course!"

Hokuto Seiji proudly patted his chest, "My family's bread is the best in Yokohama! Pick whatever you like, I guarantee it'll be delicious!"

Lin Yu felt his stomach growling even louder.

He subconsciously rummaged through his pocket, and after a moment, pulled out a slightly worn 10,000 yuan banknote from his trouser pocket and handed it over.

"Uncle, I'll take them all."

Hokuto Seisi glanced at the area he was pointing to and laughed, "Young man, you have quite the appetite, but no problem!"

He reached out to take the banknote, but when his eyes fell on it, the smile on his face froze slightly.

He picked up the ten thousand yuan bill, examined it carefully under the light, and then rubbed it between his fingers. The texture of the paper, the printing of the ink, and Fukuzawa Yukichi's solemn portrait—everything seemed so real.

If it weren't for the small, clearly marked year in Chinese characters in the bottom right corner, he might have actually accepted it.

Northern [Heisei 5] seal.

Hokuto Seiji's lips twitched violently, his expression turned somewhat strange, and he seemed to be on the verge of losing control.

He looked up at Lin Yu with a wry smile, then said, "Um, young man, this money of yours..."

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

These days, he's seen plenty of scammers who try to buy things with counterfeit money, but this is the first time he's seen one that's so convincing yet so blatantly flawed in the most basic way.

It's clearly Showa 61 now, so where did this Heisei 5 come from?

Lin Yu was puzzled. Looking at Hokuto Seisi's constipated expression, he scratched his head in confusion.

"What's wrong? Isn't one Fukuzawa Yukichi enough?"

Hokuto Seisi sighed inwardly as he looked at the innocent and bewildered expression on the young man's face.

Judging from this kid's accent, I can't tell where he's from, but he definitely doesn't sound like a local.

I guess he came from some rural area, or maybe he's just a tourist who got scammed.

Otherwise, who would openly use a banknote from the "future" to buy something?

Japan's anti-counterfeiting technology is among the world's best, making counterfeit currency extremely rare.

With his shrewd eye, if it weren't for that absurd "5th year of Heisei", he probably would have accepted it as real money.

This kid has probably been scammed.

Thinking of this, Hokuto Seiji shook his head helplessly, and finally put the money into the drawer. Then he quickly packed up all the bread that Lin Yu had ordered.

"That's 850 yen in total. Here's your change: 9,150 yen."

He took a stack of banknotes and a few coins from the cash register and handed them to Lin Yu.

"Also, young man, let me remind you of something."

Hokuto Seiji's expression turned serious. "If anyone gives you yen of this denomination again, don't use it. Come find me directly."

Lin Yu took the change and was even more confused.

He glanced down at the money in his hand: one five-thousand-yen note, four one-thousand-yen notes, and some coins.

When his gaze fell on one of the thousand-yuan bills, the corner of his mouth twitched violently.

In the lower right corner of that banknote bearing Ito Hirobumi's portrait, four characters were clearly printed.

【Showa fifty-nine years】.

Lin Yu's mind went blank for a moment, as if it had gone "buzz".

Spicy balls!

He remembered!

Although the theatrical version of "The Great Battle! Ultra Eight Brothers" features seemingly modern products such as cell phones and LCD TVs, the entire story is set in the late Showa era!

In other words, the Heisei era in this world hasn't even begun yet!

The TV series of Ultraman Tiga premiered in 1996, which is the eighth year of the Heisei era.

The paper money he brought from the Ultraman Tiga world seems, perhaps, a bit ahead of its time in this era?

Almost instantly, the ground beneath Lin Yu's feet had been carved out into a three-bedroom, one-living-room space.

Chapter 194 Photos of Ace being tortured

Lin Yu was starting to lose his composure.

He, someone who can travel through time at will, actually stumbled on a very basic question about the historical context.

Who can stand this? I'm not Doraemon. In his eyes, all eras seem to look the same. Why would he bother to remember the year and era?

Lin Yu glanced at the "real" bill that Beidou Xingsi had already put into his drawer, then looked at the heavy bag of bread in his hand, feeling so embarrassed that he almost dug his toes through the soles of his shoes.

"That, uncle."

He chuckled awkwardly and pushed the bread and change back, saying, "Maybe I shouldn't buy it. I'll think of something else."

His first thought was to get out of there as soon as possible, find a secluded alley, and see if any clueless street thugs would randomly spawn.

Perfect timing, I'm also short of start-up capital, so I'll just consider it doing a public service and extract some gold coins from those mobile red envelopes.

"stop."

Hokuto Seisakusho grabbed his hand, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Judging from your appearance, you must be new here and broke."

He looked Lin Yu up and down, his eyes filled with the concern of an elder.
