Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 28 Camilla

South Pacific Ocean, waters off New Zealand.

The night was as dark as ink, and the deep sea was deathly silent.

This is one of the loneliest places on Earth, where only the occasional flickering of deep-sea creatures emits an eerie glow in the boundless darkness.

The water pressure was so immense that it could crush any submersible into scrap metal, the temperature was near freezing, and the atmosphere was suffocatingly oppressive.

Lin Yu's figure appeared at the deepest part of the sea, surrounded by an endless seabed.

The silt drifted slowly in the undercurrent, and occasionally strange deep-sea creatures would swim by, emitting a ghostly blue light before disappearing into the darkness.

He felt the intense heat emanating from the light stick on his chest; he could feel the burning sensation even through his clothes.

"We've arrived." Lin Yu looked around, but the seabed in front of him was flat, with no signs of any ruins except for thick silt and occasional protruding rocks.

Lin Yu frowned and shook his head helplessly: "It seems that according to the normal timeline, it should be the change in the Earth's environment that will cause R'lyeh to emerge, but the time is far from right now. It will take at least three years. She should be under the seabed right now."

He broke free from the spacetime state, and instantly, countless tons of water pressure slammed into his body like a heavy hammer.

The deep-sea pressure, enough to crush anything to the size of a fingernail, only made Lin Yu feel a little uncomfortable.

"Is this the humanoid golden dragon?"

Lin Yu stretched his shoulders, feeling the terrifying water pressure around him, and couldn't help but complain, "The sense of security provided by the power of the Nine Dragons is far too heavy."

He crouched down and began digging with his hands. He quickly cleared away the silt from the seabed, but after digging for a short while, he noticed something was wrong with the feel of the surface.

"It's very hard." Lin Yu continued digging and soon revealed a stone with ancient patterns carved on its surface. "Have I reached the top of the ruins?"

As the excavation deepened, more and more stone structures were exposed. These thick stone walls exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, remaining as solid as ever even after being soaked in seawater for millions of years. Lin Yu tapped the stone wall with his hand, producing a dull echo.

"You can hardly feel any moisture."

He realized there was a huge cavity underneath, "and it was even very dry."

Lin Yu stopped digging and began to think. If he dug a hole directly, the water pressure might cause the underlying structure to collapse. If the noise was too loud and woke Gatanothor, he would be doomed before he even found the statue of the ancient giant.

"We need to find another way to get in."

Lin Yu reactivated his ability to transcend time and space, and his body became ethereal once more. He passed directly through the thick stone wall and entered the interior of the ruins.

After entering, Lin Yu closed the space-time barrier and returned to reality. He patted his wet clothes, which dripped seawater, making a soft dripping sound.

"Cough cough."

He instinctively covered his nose, worried that the air here was toxic, but quickly realized that it didn't seem to have any effect on him, so he let go.

Lin Yu found himself in a wide internal passage. The walls of the passage were made of huge stone blocks, covered with intricate symbols and patterns. There were dozens of such passages crisscrossing each other, forming a huge underground labyrinth.

"Good, good, so the ancient people were all like ground rats, they were so good at digging holes." Lin Yu's lips twitched slightly, but this also made him more cautious.

He chose one of the widest-looking passages and began to explore deeper into it. His footsteps echoed crisply in the empty passage, and occasionally, some glowing crystals were embedded in the walls, providing faint illumination to the dark ruins.

After walking for about ten minutes, Lin Yu arrived at a huge underground space, which was the central area of ​​the R'lyeh Ruins.

The entire ruins are constructed from massive stone structures, exquisite and beautiful, and still possess a breathtaking beauty despite being eroded by time for millions of years.

Towering stone pillars support the dome, and mysterious symbols and exquisite patterns cover every wall, as if telling a story of past glory.

Looking at this magnificent complex, and thinking about how this incredibly brilliant civilization was ultimately buried deep beneath the sea, Lin Yu fell silent. "It's truly a poignant thought," he murmured.

Lin Yu continued exploring forward and soon arrived in front of a huge stone wall. The patterns on this wall were more intricate and exquisite than those in other places, clearly indicating that it had special significance.

"This is it."

Without hesitation, he punched the stone wall.

"boom!"

The thick stone wall instantly shattered into pieces, revealing the scene inside.

Three giant stone statues, each tens of meters tall, appeared in front of Lin Yu in strange poses.

On the right is a massive giant, clad in heavy armor.

On the left is a giant with a sinister face, equipped with sharp weapons on his arms, and covering his ears with his hands, as if resisting something.

In the center is a female giant, striking a seductive pose as if in shock; her overall form is the most beautiful.

They were all petrified, with a thick layer of gray stone covering their surfaces.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yu had a strange sense of déjà vu.

After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but complain, "Is this the oldest JoJo pose?"

These guys may seem stable now, but they're actually not safe at all.

Lin Yu knew that in the original story, the TPC people had just finished setting up the scaffolding when these stone statues suddenly came to life and wiped out the entire group. "But then again, there should still be some time. They shouldn't come back to life immediately, otherwise the TPC people wouldn't have been working for so long."

Lin Yu's goal was clear: the Dark Light Rod was in the hands of Camilla, the female dark giant. He walked to the female statue in the middle and began to look for a path to climb.

"Alright, we'll just have to climb up."

Lin Yu used both his hands and feet to climb up Camilla's statue. His hands groped around the statue's arms, waist, and shoulders, searching for the location of the Dark Spark Lens.

"Does this make me a pervert?" Lin Yu was silent for a moment, then scratched his head awkwardly. "This is a bit troublesome."

Soon, he felt a familiar energy fluctuation in Camilla's clenched fist.

"We finally found it, but it's been held too tightly, we can't pry it open at all."

Lin Yu tried to pry open the stone statue's fingers, but the hard stone fingers wouldn't budge. "Damn it, looks like I'll have to use force to pull off a miracle. Mine is big, you'll have to bear with it."

Just as he was about to exert even more force, a clear and enchanting voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"How affectionate! After not seeing each other for thirty million years, you're already so eager to touch my hand?"

Without turning his head, Lin Yu replied, "Who are you talking about?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly stiffened, and he turned around blankly. He saw that the petrified layer on the surface of the Camilla statue he was standing on was rapidly melting away, revealing a slender golden figure.

And he was standing on the giant's back.

"Huh?" Lin Yu's eyes widened.
