Chapter 16
The Baffling Evil Ultraman Statue
"Then?"
Masaki Keigo's smile froze, seemingly not understanding why Lin Yu would ask such a question. "What else is there? I have become the God of all mankind, the ruler of everything!"
"laugh."
Lin Yu scoffed, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt. "In the end, it's all just to satisfy your selfish desire for control. Don't the recent appearances of monsters and the menacing Sphere of Specia overhead make you feel even the slightest bit of danger?"
He took a step forward, his voice suddenly rising: "Those five powerful monsters that appeared in the Land of Tiga, and the many more Specia aggregates I destroyed, the enormous threat lurking in the deep sea of Earth, and the extradimensional life form Kirieloids hiding in the shadows of the city, eyeing Earth with predatory intent! Are you turning a blind eye to all of this?"
"Ineffective in combat, lacking in skillful resistance, sloppy footwork, and poor technique—and yet, they're still indulging in the pipe dream of becoming God of mankind?"
Lin Yu shook his head, his tone filled with disappointment. "I thought that after I 'educated' you, you would have improved somewhat and developed some real ambition. I didn't expect you to be nothing special."
The provocation worked! The effect was outstanding!
"Shut up, shut up! Who understands what you're saying!"
Stung by Lin Yu's words, Masaki Keigo instantly flew into a rage. Pointing at Lin Yu, he roared furiously, "The reason I lost to you just now was definitely because you luckily obtained the power of light! As long as I can also transform into light, as long as I can also obtain that power, I will naturally be as strong as you, or even stronger than you!"
He leaped back into Gaiozak's cockpit, maneuvering the massive mechanical shark, its menacing drill aimed at Lin Yu.
"Don't blame me for bullying you. Quickly turn into light! This time, I'm going to defeat you fair and square. If you lose, hand over your light stick; that power should belong to me!"
Gaiozak let out a piercing mechanical roar, and its massive body charged toward Lin Yu like a small mountain, crashing down on him like Mount Tai!
Lin Yu stood there, motionless, as if he had been scared out of his wits.
Seeing this, a hint of struggle flashed in Masaki Keigo's eyes, but he became resolute again: "For all mankind, justice stained with blood is still justice."
"boom--"
The enormous mechanical shark slammed into Lin Yu.
However, the expected scene of carnage did not occur.
Just as Georzak's drill was about to touch Lin Yu's body, a pale golden, semi-transparent shield suddenly appeared above his head, like an inverted bowl, completely enveloping him.
"clang--"
A deafening metallic clang rang out as Gaiozak's indestructible nose drill slammed into the golden shield. Not only did it fail to budge it in the slightest, but Gaiozak himself was violently thrown back by an incomparably powerful recoil force!
"Haha, I've stepped on a nail." Lin Yu's voice drifted from under the shield.
The pale golden shield above his head was formed from the [Hyperspace Barrier] ability he inherited from the golden dragon Goldras.
This ability can gather and distort the magnetic field and space of a specific area, forming an almost indestructible barrier that deflects and bounces off all forms of attacks.
Even the Delasium Beam Stream unleashed at full power by the old man Garuda in his Happy Form could be deflected. This mere mechanical shark with a total mass of only 53,000 tons is far from being worthy of our attention!
"Bang! Crack—!"
The giant mechanical shark, launched into the air, lost its balance and tumbled to the side, its heavy metal body crashing squarely into the statue of the evil Tiga.
With a sickening cracking sound, half of the evil Tiga statue's body, along with an arm, was smashed to pieces by Georzak's massive frame, sending stones flying everywhere.
For a moment, the entire underground cavern fell into a deathly silence.
Lin Yu's expression was strange. "Fine, fine, so you're trying to scam me, huh?"
But tell me, is there any possibility?
This thing wasn't even his to begin with.
Now someone might be so worried they can't sleep, thinking they're going to lose their little pearls.
Masaki Keigo stared blankly at the scene, the control stick in the cockpit slipping from his hands.
Is this... can it still be fixed?
The deathly silence lasted for several seconds before being broken by a piercing, desperate wail.
"Aaaaaahhhhh—My giant! My light—!"
As if possessed, Masaki Keigo burst out of the cockpit of Georzak, staggered to the broken stone statue, and looked at the incomplete giant, letting out a wail like a man on the verge of collapse.
His tireless training day and night, his painstaking efforts year after year, all his hopes and dreams were poured into this stone statue, all for the sake of one day transforming into light and becoming an existence beyond mortals.
And now, everything is ruined.
It was destroyed by the mechanical monster he himself created.
Masaki Keigo, heartbroken! Insane!
Lin Yu looked at Masaki Keigo, who was kneeling on the ground, weeping and wailing, and seemed to have gone mad. Lin Yu's lips twitched slightly.
What kind of situation is this?
自己辛辛苦苦跑到熊本市，先是揍了个中二的基里艾洛德人，然后又跟这个偏执的天才科学家来了一场「爱的教育」，结果此行的最终目标，居然就这幺……没了？
"Well, on another note..."
Lin Yu stroked his chin, looking at the half-body Evil God statue. "This thing... half of it, can it still transform?"
Just as Masaki Keigo's wailing echoed through the cave, and Lin Yu was somewhat amused and exasperated, he suddenly felt a slight burning sensation in his chest.
He subconsciously reached into his pocket and pulled out the brand-new silver magic wand.
The next second, something unexpected happened!
The countless fragments and dust scattered on the ground, belonging to the evil Tiga statue, seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, and suddenly burst forth with a dark and profound light!
Immediately afterwards, as if summoned, these points of light transformed into streams of light, rushing towards the divine light stick in Lin Yu's hand and disappearing into it!
Lin Yu's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and he mentally raged, "Six hundred and sixty-six, so you're not even going to act anymore? So all the glory will end up being yours, you old man! Does it have to be this insidious?"
Masaki Keigo, standing next to him, stared wide-eyed, completely dumbfounded.
How... how did such a huge giant statue... turn into light? And how did it get absorbed by the man's magic wand?
For a moment, the only thing left in the entire underground cavern was the still intact stone statue of the canine monster Gedi, lying there all alone, as if it had been spared from this sudden "demolition" because of its smaller size.
Not a single speck of dust was overlooked; the ground was cleaner than if a dog had licked it clean.
Gedi: Keep swearing!
