Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 7: I devoured the entire Taiping Fengtu Ji (Record of Peaceful Customs) on the spot.

The vehicle sped along and soon arrived at the TPC Far East Headquarters located underground in the Boso Peninsula.

The base was filled with a sense of technology that was ahead of its time. The metal passageways were cold and solemn, and various advanced instruments shone with a dark blue light. The air was filled with an efficient and tense atmosphere, which was almost the same as the level of technology that Lin Yu remembered from around 2020.

All I can say is that the worldview of Ultraman Tiga is truly amazing. In 20 years, thanks to the personal charisma of director Sawai, the world was brought together from the United Nations era. Even science fiction works wouldn't dare to write something like this.

They went even further in their technological advancements, building a base on the far side of the moon in three years, beginning exploration of Mars colonization in five years, and by ten years, they were already capable of interstellar colonization of Mars!

Lin Yu, preoccupied with his own thoughts, was led directly to the Victory Team's private meeting room by Zong Fang.

"The situation is urgent. I have notified all team members to assemble in the conference room immediately."

Zongfang said to Lin Yu, "According to you, the original copy of the Taihei Fudoki was destroyed by monsters along with the shrine. Therefore, you are now the only key witness who can decipher its contents."

Lin Yu nodded.

Soon, the meeting room door was pushed open, and the members of the Victory Team walked in one after another.

When Horii, a member of the team with a bowl cut and a round face, walked in, he immediately spotted Lin Yu sitting there.

He was stunned at first, then his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.

Horii's voice was distorted with excitement.

He clearly remembered that during the recent monster attack, he had tried to stop a civilian from approaching the battlefield, but the civilian insisted on rushing forward and eventually disappeared in the monster's attack and explosion.

He even blamed himself for this, believing that he had failed to stop the reckless resident.

But now, the person he thought had long since perished in the light is actually here alive and well!

Following Horii into the conference room was Daigo, who had just experienced the ups and downs of his life.

When his gaze fell on Lin Yu, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he froze on the spot.

"You, you, you! You are..."

Daigo subconsciously looked at Lin Yu, but halfway through his sentence, he seemed to remember something and suddenly covered his mouth with his hand, his face filled with disbelief.

From his perspective, Lin Yu at this moment was completely different from everyone else in the conference room.

Lin Yu seemed to be enveloped in a faint, almost imperceptible golden halo, making him stand out exceptionally, as if... as if he were from a completely different dimension.

This feeling was so similar to the one he had when he saw Lin Yu fighting after Ultraman Tiga left!
Captain Megumi was the last to enter the meeting room.

With a calm gaze, Kijima Megumi swept over Horii and Daigo before finally settling on Lin Yu. She asked in a gentle tone, "Horie, Daigo, do you know this Mr. Lin Yu?"

Horii caught his breath and quickly explained, "Captain, I saw him at the scene of the monster attack! The situation was very dangerous, and I told him to leave immediately, but he..."

He glanced at Lin Yu, scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and said, "But it seems he rushed over for something."

Daigo was vague in his response. He couldn't very well say in front of everyone that the person in front of him might be the one who had just controlled Tiga, could he? If that got out, people would probably think he was suffering from post-battle mental illness.

He just looked at Lin Yu with a complicated expression and said in a low voice, "I... I just feel that Mr. Lin Yu looks familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere before."

Lin Yu then revealed a slightly regretful and fearful expression, sighed, and said, "Alas, the situation was urgent at the time. I was trying to protect an ancient book that I found in the shrine. It contained a lot of information about monsters. I wanted to bring it out, but unfortunately... in the end, I was still affected by the monster's attack, and the shrine along with it was reduced to ashes."

He shrugged, looking heartbroken, "I couldn't leave anything behind."

Upon hearing this, a hint of admiration flashed in Megumi's eyes: "Mr. Lin Yu, in such a critical moment, you were still thinking about protecting important data. Your courage is admirable."

She paused, looking at the monster drawings Lin Yu had made on the table. "So, could you elaborate on this book, 'The Records of Taiping Customs'?"

Lin Yu cleared his throat and began to recount the contents of "The Records of Taiping Customs" from his "memory".

He focused on explaining several monsters that the GUTS team had encountered or would encounter, such as the Kirieloids and Ligadrons, as well as some of their habits and potential weaknesses.

According to ancient records, the appearance of these 'monsters of calamity' is not without reason. They are often accompanied by certain omens or are attracted by some kind of force.

Megumi listened attentively, occasionally asking a few key questions.

"Mr. Lin Yu, you mentioned that the ancient texts prophesied the appearance of Golza and Melba, as well as the method to awaken the pyramid giants, which matches some of the information we have. Does this ancient text provide a more detailed description of the aftermath of these monsters, or other more powerful beings?"

Lin Yu pondered for a moment before replying, "The latter half of the ancient book is even more obscure, mentioning terms such as 'extraterrestrial demons,' 'the shadow of the abyss,' and 'the messenger of the end,' but the specific images and descriptions of their abilities are very vague, suggesting that it is from a very ancient time and much of the content is incomplete."

He laid the groundwork for potentially stronger enemies to emerge later, without making it seem too abrupt.

After listening to Lin Yu's story, Kijima Megumi nodded, her expression serious.

“Vice Captain Munakata,” she turned to Munakata, “it seems that there are still many places in the Land of Tiga, the area where the pyramids were discovered, that we should investigate further. Perhaps there are still more clues about these ‘Calamity Beasts’ left there.”

She issued the order: "All members of the GUTS team, prepare immediately to conduct another detailed reconnaissance of the land of Tiga. Daigo, you were too exhausted from the previous battle and are still injured, so you don't need to participate in this operation. Stay at the base to recuperate."

"Yes!" the team members responded in unison.

Lin Yu looked at everyone, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

This "Records of Taiping Customs" is a complete fabrication by him. If you can actually find even the slightest clue about this book in those ruins, I, Lin Yu, will eat all the drawings I made on the spot!

Soon, the members of the Victory Team left the meeting room and prepared to depart.

Only Lin Yu and Daigu, who was left behind due to his injuries, remained in the room.

As the door closed, the lights in the conference room seemed to dim as well.

Suddenly, the screen of the communication device in the center of the room lit up, and a somewhat surreal image of a woman dressed in ancient clothing slowly appeared.
