Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga

He looked at Lin Yu with eyes full of recognition, as if he had found his only confidant.

"If everyone forgets, what's the point of the so-called past?" Lin Yu seemed to be talking to himself, but it also seemed like he was asking him.

"That's why we can't forget!" the boss said excitedly.

"Boss, have another bowl."

Lin Yu didn't say anything more, he just lowered his head and ate his noodles.

The second bowl.

The third bowl.

The fifth bowl.

When Lin Yu neatly stacked the tenth empty bowl next to him, the noodle stall owner finally couldn't sit still any longer.

He looked at Lin Yu's calm face and his posture that seemed ready to fight another three hundred rounds, his eyes filled with unease and vigilance.

This man was strange from the moment he appeared; he didn't seem like an ordinary diner.

"Who...who exactly are you?" The boss's voice trembled slightly, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the soup spoon beside him. "What do you want from me? Do you...want me to give up?"

He took a step forward, his hunched body seemingly straightening slightly, a faint glint of ferocity in his eyes, attempting to intimidate the human before him with his monstrous aura. "I'm telling you, I won't leave! This is my home! No one can drive me away!"

Lin Yu put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, looked up, and gazed at him with clear eyes: "Obik."

The boss, who was actually the monster Obik, suddenly shuddered, and the disguise on his face vanished instantly, replaced by utter shock.

I'll blanch it, box!

Chapter 48 is just a passing Ultraman, remember that.

"How...how did you know..."

"Let me ask you a question."

Lin Yu interrupted him, his expression serious, "When those descendants leave the village, do you still identify with them? The blood of their ancestors still flows in their veins."

“Agree?” Obik was stunned.

"Yes."

Lin Yu's tone was serious. "You should have noticed how frequently monsters have been appearing lately, right? The earth is shaking, and the sky is wailing. What would you do if a monster appeared on this street one day?"

He stared at Obik and asked, word by word, "As the guardian of this village, are you going to just stand by and watch those descendants who still remember you and have the village's blood flowing through their veins be killed by monsters?"

"I'm not some kind of guardian deity!"

Obik, as if his tail had been stepped on, shouted excitedly, "They don't even know me! They've long forgotten me! Why should I save them? I'm a monster!"

"But."

Lin Yu's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly drowned out his shouting, "There are still old people who remember the story of 'Young Master Ayan,' and there are still people who know your legend. Isn't that enough?"

The words "Young Master Ayan" struck Obik like a bolt of lightning.

All his excitement and anger froze at that moment; his mouth was open, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Yes, some people still remember.

Although very few, very few, they are not entirely absent.

After a long while, he let his arm fall limply, pointed to the dark construction site, and said in a voice full of despair: "But... my village is gone, it's about to disappear completely."

Seeing his dejected appearance, Lin Yu's lips suddenly curled into a confident smile.

"No, of course I am."

Obik looked up abruptly, staring at him in confusion.

"It's in your memory."

Lin Yu stood up and walked up to him. "Tell me about the village, every single tree and blade of grass, from the watchtower to the lotus pond behind the houses. I will recreate an exact replica of the village for you."

"What did you say?" Obik couldn't believe his ears.

"I said."

Lin Yu's eyes held an undeniable power. "This construction site will be transformed into a construction project immediately. It won't become a health center, but rather the place you remember, taking you back to your past."

Obik stared at him blankly, thinking that this man must be crazy.

How could such a thing possibly be done?

Lin Yu didn't explain further. He took out the PDI communicator that Daigo had given him and pressed the call button in front of Obik.

"Daigo, it's me."

"Lin Yu? What's wrong? Have another monster appeared?" Daigo's slightly tired voice came from the other end of the communicator.

"No, it's something else."

Lin Yu said succinctly, "I need TPC to stop the renovation project of the old site of Yanye Street immediately. Then, turn it into a folk culture protection area and rebuild the ancient village according to the restoration blueprints."

"what?"

Daigo was clearly bewildered by this request. "This... Lin Yu, this falls under municipal planning, and our Victory Team is probably..."

“Just say it’s to appease an ancient ally with great power.”

After explaining Obik's existence, Lin Yu said, "Tell the higher-ups that this ally's survival is closely linked to the memory of this land. If not handled properly, it could cause consequences even more troublesome than the appearance of monsters. Moreover, he promised to help us fight against the invaders if necessary."

"Remember what I said before? The Earth is not just a place for monsters."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the communicator, followed by Daigo's solemn voice: "I understand. I will report to Captain Megumi immediately, and she will negotiate with the TPC leadership. Don't worry."

call ended.

Lin Yu put away the communicator and looked at Obik, who was completely stunned.

"Now, do you believe it?"

The whole process took less than thirty seconds.

Obik was completely frozen. He looked at the communicator with the Victory Team emblem in Lin Yu's hand, then at Lin Yu's calm face, his mind blank.

"Who...who are you?" he stammered.

Lin Yu put the communicator back in his pocket, turned around, and the evening breeze ruffled the hem of his clothes. He gave Obik a side profile and said calmly:

"He's just an Ultraman who's passing by."

"Remember it for me."

After saying that, he turned back, a mocking smile on his face, and began his "PUA" teaching.

"But I need to make myself clear first."

He crossed his arms, adopting a businesslike demeanor. "Reconstructing the village is possible, but the final result depends on the information you provide. If your memory is flawed or your description is not detailed enough, resulting in a village that is built differently from what you remember, then you will be responsible for it."

"what?"

Before Obik's brain could even process the enormous shock, he was stunned by this new problem.

"For example, what color is the wood of the watchtower? How many steps are there? Where is the old locust tree at the entrance of the village? Is there a stone mill under the tree? Are the stones in the stream round or flat?"

Lin Yu fired off a series of questions: "These details will affect the final product. If we end up with a mess that doesn't resemble anything, then it won't be my problem anymore."

"Really...really?"

Obik's eyes widened instantly, all despair and sorrow vanishing, replaced by unparalleled excitement and tension. "Really...can it be rebuilt?"

"Of course," Lin Yu nodded.

"Wow ah ah!"

Obik suddenly burst into cheers, threw down his spoon, and started jumping around on the spot, as happy as a 300-pound child.

As he jumped, he shouted excitedly at his shadow on the ground, "Did you hear that, shadow! Our village is coming back! Coming back! Hahahaha!"

A long shadow danced wildly under the lamplight, moving in sync with his actions.

Lin Yu smiled as he saw how happy the man was.

Originally, he intended to use the power of his golden dragon, Goldras, to send Obik back to ancient times.

But what's the point?

Should we subject it to its unbearable past once again, subjecting it to constant emotional and psychological torment?

I'm afraid that once he completes his reincarnation and attains enlightenment, he'll go berserk and transform into the Giant Shark King, starting a killing spree.

He would never consider bringing ancient villages and their inhabitants to the modern era, because in this single timeline, if he were to directly interfere with the past, it would be tantamount to murdering all the descendants of that village, just like Thanos snapping his fingers and wiping them all out of existence. In essence, they would no longer exist, since even the ancestors disappeared in ancient times, so where would these descendants be?

Therefore, after he calmed down a bit, Lin Yu slowly revealed his ultimate goal.

"Now that the village's issues are resolved, let's talk about your problem."

"My question?" Obik stopped dancing and looked at him curiously.

"You want more people to remember you, right?"

Lin Yu patiently persuaded, "Relying solely on those elderly people who are about to forget you won't work; you need to develop some new believers."

"believer?"

"Why don't you join my religion?"

Lin Yu's expression became sacred and solemn. "They are all young people full of curiosity about the world. They will definitely be very interested in stories from the past, especially powerful monsters like you who silently protect the village in the darkness."

“My…religion?” Obik was a little dizzy.

"That's right, the Cult of Light and Salvation of Ultra."

Lin Yu said in a serious tone, "We will write your story, 'Young Master Ayan,' into the church scriptures and compose a song so that everyone knows that there is a worthy guardian deity in Yanye Street."

Every word of these words struck Obik squarely in the heart.

To be remembered, to be celebrated, to be respected.

Isn't this exactly what he's been dreaming of?

"I agree, I completely agree!" He nodded without hesitation, his face flushed with excitement.

Finally, Obik calmed down and looked at Lin Yu earnestly, his eyes filled with gratitude and trust.

“I can sense that you have a very dazzling aura.”

He said softly, “But for some reason, I’m not afraid of you at all. On the contrary, you make me feel very safe.”

Obik straightened his back and regained his pride as "Young Master Ayan".

“I believe what you say. If the humans are also willing to protect my village, then for the sake of the village, I will also defeat those invaders.”

He clenched his fist and burst into laughter, "Don't underestimate me, Young Master Yan! I used to be quite formidable!"

Lin Yu nodded, suppressing a laugh.

With the childish way you fought with TV Gudi, who doesn't know you're a coward?

No, I have to hold back!

Chapter 49 Lin Yu's Darkness

Looking at the monster in front of him, who was gesturing wildly and almost leaving a shadow behind, Lin Yu covered his mouth with his hand. After a while, he calmed down and gently put down the last empty bowl.

He held up two fingers and tapped them on the table.

"Alright, don't get too excited yet, Young Master Ayan."

The cool voice seemed to possess some kind of magic, instantly stopping Obik in his tracks. He turned around, rubbing his hands somewhat embarrassedly, his face still showing lingering ecstasy.

"The village needs to be rebuilt, and that depends on your memories."

Lin Yu took out a notepad and a pen from his pocket and slapped them on the stall. "Now, draw and write down everything you remember about the village."

"Draw it, draw it?"

Obik was stunned. He looked at his hands, then at the small notepad, and looked troubled. "But, I, I can't draw."

Alright, alright, so it turns out he's the Zhangyu Monster who failed to get into art school and ended up dropping out.

"Then let's talk about it."
