Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 23 Chrismaya

Lin Yu stared at the photos in his hand, his head buzzing.

"Never mind, it's come to this now, let's eat first."

Lin Yu picked up the spoon again and quickly finished all the soup that Mayumi had brought.

But strangely, he still felt hungry; the emptiness didn't come from his stomach, but from every cell in his body.

"This isn't right."

Lin Yu touched his stomach and suddenly realized that this hunger was not ordinary appetite, but a deep-seated lack of energy in his body.

He recalled the frequent use of the Golden Dragon's abilities over the past few days, especially the [Hyperspace Boundary] and various spacetime distortion skills. These were not Tiga's own power, but rather energy from the spacetime boundary.

Just like a phone needs to be charged when it runs out of power, he now needs to return to the space-time dimension to replenish his battery.

But the problem is coming.

"If I enter the spacetime realm now, will I get lost in those spacetime ripples?"

Lin Yu hesitated.

The safe return last time was largely due to the "beacon of hope for humanity" serving as an anchor point.

He is currently in an ordinary state, and it might be dangerous for him to rashly enter the space-time realm.

Just as he was struggling with this, the magic wand on his chest suddenly emitted a gentle light, and a familiar sense of attraction came over him, as if something was softly calling to him.

"Old Man Jia?"

Lin Yu touched the Spark Lens; the familiar feeling reassured him considerably. "Alright, trust Tiga. Trust doesn't need a reason."

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and let the power of time and space envelop his entire body. His figure gradually became transparent, and he turned into a speck of light and disappeared into the ward.

About half an hour later, several TPC personnel in black uniforms pushed open the door and entered.

"The target is not in the room," one of them reported into his headset.

"Understood, continue searching other areas."

The man in the lead glanced around the empty ward, his eyes dark and brooding.

"What about people?"

The man in the lead scanned the empty ward. "Didn't the intelligence say Lin Yu was here?"

"Sir, the bed still has a temperature; the person must have just left." A subordinate checked the bed.

The man in the lead was Director Yoshioka's confidant. He pushed up his glasses and said coldly, "Recently, this civilian Lin Yu has been in close contact with Captain Daigo Madoka. In addition, Lucia and Zabi, these two aliens, look exactly like humans. The higher-ups suspect that there are many aliens disguised as humans on Earth."

"Should we continue waiting for him to come back?"

The man pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "But contacting him rashly now might provoke a backlash from the Victory Team. Let's make a note of this and continue to observe."

Meanwhile, within the golden ripples of the spacetime realm, Lin Yu was frantically absorbing the surrounding spacetime energy.

"Ah, cool!"

He felt like a plant that had been parched for a long time and had finally received rain, with every cell greedily absorbing the energy.

The inherited abilities of the Golden Dragon Goldras gradually revived, and that powerful feeling of controlling space and time returned to his body.

After an unknown amount of time, when Lin Yu felt his energy replenished, the Spark Lens lit up again, sending him back to the real world.

"Ok?"

Lin Yu checked the time and realized that the concert he had arranged with Daigo was approaching. He quickly dialed Daigo's number.

"Daigo, I'm all ready. Where should we meet?"

"Great! I was worried you weren't feeling well." Daigo's voice sounded excited. "See you at the concert venue entrance!"

Half an hour later, Lin Yu and Daigu stood outside the concert venue.

"Chris Maya is really popular," Daigo remarked, looking at the long queue.

Lin Yu nodded, his feelings somewhat complicated.

The Maya we are about to meet will no longer be the shelter leader who comforted people with her songs in the post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Upon entering the venue, the lights dimmed, and spotlights shone on the center of the stage.

As Maya, dressed in a long white dress, slowly walked onto the stage, the audience erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Maya! Maya!"

"Chrismaya is the best!"

Screams erupted, but when Maya began to sing softly, the entire venue fell silent. The familiar melody drifted through the air, and Lin Yu closed his eyes, as if he were back in that dark underground parking lot. Maya's voice was hoarse then, but it was precisely that voice that silenced everything and gave people a glimmer of hope amidst despair.

Now her voice is clear and moving, and every note carries a healing power.

"How are you feeling? Any better?" Daigo asked, leaning close to Lin Yu's ear.

Lin Yu opened his eyes and found himself completely relaxed. He nodded, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "Yeah, much better."

"Her singing voice does have a magical healing effect."

Although Daigo didn't quite understand the deeper meaning behind Lin Yu's words, he was still happy to see the other party's relaxed expression.

In his view, since he couldn't fight for Lin Yu, it was good to do something within his power for him.

Just then, Daigo's communicator rang.

"Excuse me, Mr. Lin Yu."

Daigo looked at the emergency signal on the communicator and his expression turned serious. "My two-hour vacation is over. There is an emergency training session at headquarters about monsters. We need to prepare to deal with monsters based on the records in the Taihei Fudoki."

"It's okay, go ahead and do your work."

Lin Yu waved his hand, "I'll just listen to it myself."

After Daigo left, Lin Yu continued to immerse himself in Maya's singing.

But just as Maya finished singing one song and was preparing for the next, a faint light suddenly emanated from Lin Yu's chest.

A glimmer of golden light silently flew out and disappeared into Maya's body on the stage.

Maya's body stiffened abruptly, and then a flood of memory fragments rushed into her mind.

A post-apocalyptic wasteland, an underground shelter, a mysterious young man, and a final farewell.

She slowly turned her head and, through the spotlight, immediately saw Lin Yu in the audience.

"I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well, so I'll have to end the concert here for today." Maya apologized into the microphone and then hurriedly left the stage.

The fans in the audience erupted in uproar.

"What happened? Why did Maya suddenly leave?"

"Are you sick?"

Lin Yu scratched his head, feeling that he didn't need to disturb Maya's life.

The future has been changed after all. The Maya are no longer the leaders of a refuge, but now they are popular singers.

Since that's the case, let's just wish each other well.

Lin Yu got up to leave, but just as he reached the entrance of the venue, a familiar figure blocked his way.

"Mr. Lin Yu, it's nice to see you again."

Maya stood at the door, her expression complex. "As expected, you are more mysterious than I imagined."

Lin Yu scratched his head, unsure how to respond, as the situation was indeed somewhat awkward. He forced a smile and said, "You sing quite well."

Hearing this simple and unpretentious compliment, Maya couldn't help but smile: "Then I won't charge you for admission anymore."

"Haha, then I've hit the jackpot!" Lin Yu smiled.

The two looked at each other and burst out laughing in unison.

“The future has been changed,” Maya murmured.

"Ah."

Lin Yu nodded. "That's fine too."

"Miss Maya! Miss Maya! What happened?" The agent rushed over, her face full of anxiety.

“It’s alright, this is my friend.” Maya waved to her agent.

The two walked out of the venue side by side and went to a nearby park.

The park was quiet at night, with only the warm yellow light cast by the streetlights.

The light cast long shadows of the two people, making them appear to overlap.
