Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga

I've also figured out the power of the newly acquired Renlong. Although the side effects are a bit severe, it's indeed very powerful.

The list of future enemies has also been compiled.

So what exactly was forgotten?

Lin Yu scratched his head, completely baffled.

It was a very important feeling that he had forgotten about, or even completely abandoned.

He tried hard to recall every detail of that great battle.

Mount Sukuna, the Demon of Sukuna, the Barossa aliens...

Then Saigoku is about to come out and shake Daigoku himself...

wrong!

Before Saigoku appeared, there was one other person!

Lin Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he jumped three feet high from the ground as if he had been electrocuted.

broken.

Ida Iryu!

That great swordsman from four hundred years ago, that soul who dutifully guarded the gate for four hundred years, that old senior who spent so much time explaining to me how awesome Sai Gaogu was.

He seems to still be in the ruins of Suona Mountain, which has been turned into a basin.

The next chapter is being written, please wait a moment.

Chapter 115 Elbow, Come with Me to Work Overtime

The thought of the phrase "Jing Tian Jing Long" made Lin Yu's lips twitch slightly.

We just fought together as comrades, and then I completely forgot about them.

Not only did they forget, they also razed the home that had been guarded for four hundred years, along with the entire mountain, to the ground.

This isn't just crossing the river and then destroying the bridge; it's dismantling the bridge, filling in the river, and then building a public toilet on top of it.

He's not human; he didn't do anything human today.

The thought that Jing Tianjinglong's lonely soul might still be on that ruin, staring blankly at a crater several kilometers in diameter, searching for his small temple that had long since turned into molecules, made Lin Yu feel as if his conscience had been gnawed away by Gedi.

Mount Suna no longer exists.

Instead, there was a huge basin several kilometers in diameter and bottomless, with the soil at the edge still retaining the glassy color purified by the dazzling Zepelion light.

The TPC's yellow warning tape completely surrounded the area, where countless researchers in white protective suits were carefully collecting samples. Searchlight beams swept back and forth across the basin, as if searching for a miracle left by the gods.

Standing in the shadows of a distant mountain peak, Lin Yu looked at the familiar scene of the private event and felt a pang of conscience.

For him, sneaking into such a place was a piece of cake.

Its figure silently blended into the shadows, and with a few flashes it passed through all the blockades, landing silently in the very center of the basin.

He closed his eyes, and the power of the Renlong Dragon sank into the earth with his will, sensing every inch of the land's memories.

Soon, he found his target.

He walked to a pile of rubble, reached out and beckoned, and two rusty broken swords flew out of the ground and landed in his palm.

Lin Yu gripped the knife handle and shook it vigorously, as if it were a bottle of flat cola.

"Senpai? Ida-senpai? Are you still there? If you are, please let me know!"

"Ahem, Your Excellency... could you please be a little gentler with a four-hundred-year-old man?"

A semi-transparent, somewhat helpless phantom slowly emerged from the broken sword.

It is the soul of the great swordsman Ida Iryu.

He first looked around blankly at the "former residence" that had been completely razed to the ground, then his gaze fell on Lin Yu, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"As expected, you are no ordinary person."

Ida Iryu exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Such great power can probably only be possessed by gods in mythology."

"You flatter me. Being called a god is too kind of me." Lin Yu scratched his head awkwardly.

Jing Tianjinglong smiled with relief and bowed deeply to Lin Yu.

"The demon Sukuna has been vanquished, and Saigoku has also been slain by you. My obsession with guarding this place for four hundred years can now be put down. Thank you for allowing me to be free. I will now retire and enjoy... uh, enjoy the peace of death."

As he spoke, his figure seemed to dim further, as if he might vanish into thin air at any moment.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu panicked and grabbed the broken sword. "No! Senior, you can't leave!"

The phantom of Jing Tianjinglong was taken aback and looked at him in confusion: "What do you mean by this, sir?"

"The Earth is still in danger, and humanity needs your power to protect it!" Lin Yu said righteously.

Jingtian Jinglong was even more confused: "With such a powerful god as Your Excellency guarding us, what help can my mere, broken soul possibly offer?"

Lin Yu's lips twitched violently, and a smile that looked more like a grimace appeared on his face.

Yes, if there really was only one Earth, how wonderful that would be.

"Haha."

Lin Yu couldn't hold back any longer and chuckled dryly, "Yeah, one Earth would be enough! But that's not the problem! The mess left behind by the ancient civilization, the various monsters and demons on this Earth itself, the alien Earths that keep popping up, and that alien beast that's spreading viruses all over the universe—tell me, which one of them doesn't need me to deal with?"

Even Iida Ryu couldn't hold back any longer; his weathered face was filled with astonishment. "Wait, wait! What do you mean, sir..."

"That's right! Overtime!"

Lin Yu said decisively.

OK OK.

Jing Tianjinglong was completely bewildered by this rhetoric. "I've been dead for four hundred years, thinking I'd settled all worldly affairs. I never imagined I'd be dug up from my grave to work overtime after I'm gone! No, I'm dead! I really am a dead man!"

He felt that his worldview had been completely overturned four hundred years after his death.

Seeing his utterly shocked expression, Lin Yu smiled kindly and approached him step by step.

The phantom of Jing Tianjinglong subconsciously retreated step by step.

"Senior Great Swordsman, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, just tell me. I'll do whatever it takes to make them happen for you."

Lin Yu's smile grew even brighter. "In any case, you have to stay here and help me protect this world!"

"Your Excellency, this is not right..." Before Jing Tianjinglong could finish speaking, Lin Yu had already grabbed the two broken swords.

Without further ado, a golden light flashed in his palm, and the power of spacetime surged instantly, completely refining the physical form of the broken sword in an instant, leaving only the purest spiritual core that carried the soul of Jing Tianjinglong.

Refined in an instant, and refined in another instant!

Immediately afterwards, a powerful, warm, and life-filled force of the earth flowed continuously into Lin Yu's palm.

"This, this is..." Jing Tianjinglong was astonished to find that his originally thin and dim soul phantom was rapidly solidifying under the nourishment of this power. "The power of the earth is so familiar."

He murmured to himself, a memory that had been sealed for four hundred years was awakened: "It seems that four hundred years ago, when I was on the verge of death in my childhood, I received a blessing from the world and awakened these eyes that can see through yin and yang and slay evil spirits."

Lin Yu was delighted upon hearing this.

Ha! So you're one of those veterans who got dragged out of bed by Mother Earth to work overtime too.

My apologies! No wonder this process looked so familiar; it turns out we were former colleagues!

It's just that this colleague relationship spans a rather long period of time.

Jing Tian - Former Colleague - Jing Long: "..."

He no longer knew what expression to wear when facing this self-proclaimed junior deity.

Soon, with the completely defeated Jing Tianjinglong in tow, Lin Yu arrived at the church where Maya was.

The church remained peaceful and serene, with warm sunlight streaming through the stained glass windows, casting dappled patterns of light.

Maya was sitting at the piano when she saw Lin Yu come in. She stood up and gave him a gentle smile.

"I knew you could win."

Her voice was like heavenly music, carrying a reassuring power.

"Just lucky, just lucky." Lin Yu scratched his head, feeling a warmth in his heart.

He shook the core of the broken sword in his hand, which had turned into a ball of light, and explained the situation of Ida Iryu.

As he explained, Jing Tianjinglong's already solidified soul emerged from the sphere of light. He curiously surveyed this completely unfamiliar environment; everything from the piano to the chandelier was beyond his comprehension.

Finally, his gaze fell on Lin Yu, and he interrogated him with an even more certain tone: "Still say you're not a god!"

I'm writing the next one, it'll be done soon.

Chapter 116 Demon Slayer

Lin Yu's lips twitched, and he completely gave up on explaining.

He handed the orb of light to Maya, who temporarily placed it on the shrine in the church.

Looking at his "new home" that had turned into a ball of light, Iida Ryu sighed: "In my current state, even without the physical form of the sword, I can still put up a fight. However, the sword is broken, and I can never regain its former power."

"If a physical sword breaks, why can't it be reforged using a spiritual blade?"

Lin Yu suddenly had an idea, "Think about it, just like that guy, shouting 'The day the broken sword is reforged, the knight returns,' and then the broken sword inexplicably turns into a magnificent sword, how cool would that be!"

Jing Tianjinglong's eyes lit up: "Great idea! Theoretically, as long as my soul is strong enough, I can indeed condense a spiritual blade with my will!"

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Eh!"

He discovered that since entering the church, faint yet pure, faith-like forces were converging from all directions, nourishing his soul.

"This is... incense?"

He exclaimed in amazement, "Since becoming a soul, I have been able to see the so-called power of incense offerings, and it seems that I can even absorb them to restore myself."

Lin Yu was taken aback: "What incense?"

He followed Jing Tianjinglong's gaze and then fell silent.

In a corner of the church hall, rows of miniature shrines spontaneously built by believers had appeared at some point. There were small memorial tablets, miniature torii gates, and all sorts of other items.

At the very center of those shrines, what the believers worshipped with the utmost devotion were—plastic toys of Ultraman Tiga in various poses.

He wasn't mistaken; it was one of those soft vinyl Tiga figures that cost tens of yuan in stores, with paint that was even slightly overexposed, now being placed properly in the shrine, enjoying the purest blessings and faith.

Lin Yu fell into a long silence.

After a long silence, he finally uttered a complex sigh: "Humans..."

Immediately afterward, like a cat guarding its food, he turned around and hissed at Jing Tianjinglong, saying, "I'll spread your heroic deeds right away, and I guarantee that people will worship you in the future! In short, these are mine, and you're not allowed to steal any!"

Looking at his appearance, Jing Tianjinglong smiled helplessly: "Please rest assured, sir, I am upright and honest, and I do not take anything unjustly."

The two exchanged a smile, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Jing Tianjinglong sighed inwardly, thinking that this deity was indeed a rare existence in the world.

The light in his heart, which is believed in by so many people from the bottom of their hearts, must be far beyond what people can imagine.

If I could be bathed in this light, perhaps one day I could truly attain Buddhahood on the spot?

He then shook his head, his eyes hardening.

Whether one becomes a Buddha or not is not important.

"Even if I am dead, as long as I still have the strength to fight, I will fight to the last moment to protect humanity."

He spoke softly, as if making a vow to himself, “It was because of this awareness that I embarked on that most dangerous path of exorcising demons four hundred years ago.”

After all, he is... Demon Slayer!

Inside the church, Lin Yu stared at the great swordsman's soul who called himself "Demon Slayer," his mind racing with calculations.

New team member, Jing Tianjinglong.

Position: Spiritual Great Swordsman.

Advantages: Possesses a ghostly body, immune to most physical attacks, appears and disappears without a trace, and is unpredictable. It has the unique ability to kill spirits, and can also communicate through dreams and telepathy, making it a master of intelligence gathering and psychological warfare.

Disadvantages: Currently, it has no physical form; the blade, formed purely from soul power, is probably not even strong enough to trim a monster's toenail.
