Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 8 This Yu Lian, you don't want anything to happen to Earth either, do you?

"I am Yuzare, the commander of the Earth Defense Force."

The image spoke, its voice carrying a hint of etherealness and majesty, "Thirty million years of time have not completely obliterated everything."

She turned her gaze to Daigo: "There is only one way to revive the giants, and that is for Daigo to become light."

"The giant's name is Ultraman Tiga."

Daigo looked bewildered and subconsciously touched his chest, only to find it empty.

He answered earnestly, "But...the Spark Lens is...it's already shattered into dust."

Yu Lian's image remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly processing this unexpected information.

After a moment, she spoke again, her tone still certain: "Daigo, you are Tiga. The blood of the ancient warriors flows in your veins. The Spark Lens is just a medium; the true power comes from within yourself."

Daigo shook his head vigorously, his eyes resolute: "No, I'm not."

He glanced at Lin Yu beside him, mustered his courage, and pointed at him: "You Lian... Madam, can't you see the light on him? He is Tiga!"

Yu Lian's image flickered slightly, as if it had fallen into some kind of programming error.

Her gaze shifted back and forth between Lin Yu and Daigu, and a slight fluctuation appeared on her originally calm expression.

Lin Yu watched this scene and couldn't help but chuckle. What kind of artificial intelligence is this?
Then, he said to Daigo, who looked completely bewildered, "Hey, Daigo, has it always had this condition? It doesn't seem very bright."

"Pfft." Daigo almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yu Lian's image, Daigo, and Lin Yu—the three of them, or rather, the two of them and the AI—fell into an eerie silence.

Yu Lian's program library clearly lacks a contingency plan for "non-ancient gene holders becoming Ultraman Tiga".

A moment later, You Lian seemed to forcibly restart the logic module and turn her attention to Lin Yu.

“You… although I cannot understand your way of being, you do indeed possess the energy of light.”

Her image stabilized. "Even if the giants reappear, the darkness hidden deep within the earth has not been completely eradicated. The evil residing in the temple deep in the ocean still awaits its chance to strike back at the end of the darkness."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh? Gatanothor, right? Sounds impressive. But, Lady Youlian, your ancient civilization is so powerful that you can even foresee parts of events 30 million years in the future. So, what prophecies do you have regarding the 'Destruction Invitation Entity' and those annoying 'Sphia Spheres'?"

"Destruction Invitation Sphere? Sphia Sphere?"

Yu Lian's image flickered again, her voice filled with doubt, "What is that?"

Lin Yu's lips twitched slightly. So all you guys know is the magical sea snail in front of your house?

“Those are enormous threats from the depths of the universe, each one no less powerful than your giant conch shell.”

He felt like he was tutoring a student who excelled in only one subject.

After all, what he said wasn't wrong. The dark planet Gransphia could even devour the solar system. The Destruction Summoning Entity never showed its true form from beginning to end. It just threw out some vanguards, messengers, or war weapons like the Destruction Root Angel. It almost beat Gaia and his two Ultras half to death. And it was thrown over from the other side of the wormhole. Agul went in and got beaten up. It was a completely unscathed Ultra dungeon run.

If we're talking about sophistication, the Magical Seashell is just as good.

Daigo, who was listening from the side, was completely confused and couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Yulian, then... where did all those ancient warriors go?" Yulian's tone was tinged with sadness: "After the battle with Gatanothor, some sacrificed their lives, and some... chose to leave this planet and return to their home planet."

Her gaze returned to Lin Yu, tinged with earnestness: "Whoever you are, since you possess the power of light, I hope you can take our place and protect this beautiful planet."

"To protect the Earth?"

Lin Yu stroked his chin, revealing a devilish smile. "It's not impossible. However, it depends on your sincerity."

"Sincerity?"

Yu Lian's image seemed to freeze for a moment, clearly not expecting this response.

Lin Yu said matter-of-factly, "Of course! I'm helping you protect the Earth, so I can't work for free, right? Your ancient civilization is so powerful and wealthy, so hurry up and bring out all your legacies, artifacts, lost technologies, and the like. Look, those three giant statues are all shattered to pieces, and I only managed to put Ultraman Tiga back together by myself. The Earth is in imminent danger, so it's always good to have more trump cards up your sleeve."

His words were blatantly an attempt to desecrate someone's ancestral graves.

And they even asked you face-to-face where it was buried.

You Lian's image was visibly unstable, as if she had been shocked by Lin Yu's outrageous remarks: "This... isn't this also your Earth? Why do you need our sincerity to protect it?"

"That's right. Earth didn't have so many troubles originally, but you ancient people left Gatanothor to your descendants. Shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Daigo watched in stunned silence, his admiration for Lin Yu reaching a new level.

Negotiating with people from 30 million years ago? That's incredible!

Youlian remained silent for a long time, seemingly engaged in complex calculations and weighing the options.

Finally, she sighed helplessly, "I understand."

“In the distant past, we did leave something behind as a legacy for future generations to prevent the tragedy of ancient civilizations from repeating itself.”

"In a hidden place on Earth, there may still be a relatively well-preserved giant stone statue. In certain specific ruins, there may also be some ancient technological data."

Then, Yu Lian described the approximate location of the address she remembered, but it was hard to say exactly where it was in modern times.

But it's okay, Lin Yu knows.

That's just the evil statue below Kumamoto City!
She paused, then added, "Furthermore, in some remote corner of the ocean, there is a place we call 'Monster Island.' There, some monsters that were defeated in ancient wars and chose to submit to the giants are kept. However, after so many years, I can no longer be sure whether they still exist or whether they are still docile."

After saying this, Yu Lian's image began to become even more ethereal: "My energy is about to run out, so I'm entrusting these clues to you. I hope... you can make good use of them."

As soon as she finished speaking, Youlian's image completely disappeared, and the communication screen returned to darkness.

Silence fell over the meeting room once again.

Daigo stared wide-eyed at Lin Yu, then at the spot where the screen had disappeared, completely in a state of extreme shock.

Is this some kind of unconventional approach?
