Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

Page 256

Himeya Jun paused, a slight look of difficulty on his face.

Seeing this, Minghui couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?"

"No, it's just..."

Himeya Jun shook his head and explained to Akira:

"That place isn't the real world. I gained this power in a dream. How... how can I take you there?"

"It's alright, you just need to cooperate."

Faced with Ji Yajun's question, Minghui smiled slightly, stood up, pressed Ji Yajun back onto the sofa, and said:

"The rest is up to me!"

Trusting Minghui, Jiya Jun did not resist. He sat comfortably on the sofa and let Minghui do as he pleased.

The next moment, Minghui's hand touched Jiya Jun's forehead, and in a surge of energy, the latter immediately tilted his head and fell into a deep sleep.

After finishing all this, Minghui sat down to the side, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly lost consciousness.

As a strange wave rippled outwards, when Minghui opened his eyes again, everything before him had changed drastically.

"Yes, this is it!"

Himeya Jun's voice came from beside him. He looked up and forward, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

So long after he gained the power of light, he has returned to this place once again.

Temple ruins!

The sky overhead was extremely low, filled with a dim, yellowish hue.

Beneath that sky, a vast complex of ruins, consisting of several buildings, lay scattered.

The surrounding buildings are carved with several strangely shaped beasts. These lifelike beasts face the center, like guards protecting the courtyard, but also like a group of menacing enemies.

In the center of the complex stands a towering temple, which, like a broad holy sword, pierces the sky!

"Let's go take a look."

Looking at the tall ruins in the middle, Minghui's eyes lit up, and he spoke lightly.

"Ah... okay!"

Himeya Jun agreed, withdrew his gaze, and strode forward.

Led by Jun Himeya, the two emerged from the dense forest and then passed through a group of dilapidated ruins.

As they walked, Minghui's gaze swept across the surrounding ruins.

He saw some ruins carved into the shapes of birds of prey, others into the likeness of rodents, and still others into the form of wild bulls...

Why does this look like an alien beast?

Was it carved from stone, or... transformed from a real alien beast?

After observing for a week, Minghui muttered to himself.

He couldn't tell either, but at the very least, he didn't detect any trace of life on those sculptures.

Come here!

Jun Himeya's voice came from ahead.

Minghui gathered his thoughts and walked over.

In front of Himeya Jun was a narrow cave entrance. Although there was no light source inside, it was not dark.

"Go in from here and you'll be inside the ruins."

When Minghui came to his side, Jiji Jun explained something to him.

"It seems we're almost at our destination."

Upon hearing this, Minghui smiled, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

The two entered the cave and went deeper and deeper. As they went deeper, the passage gradually widened.

At the same time, abstract murals began to appear on the rock wall beside the two of them.

Himeya Jun's gaze was involuntarily drawn to it; he stared at it intently, even slowing his pace.

Although the murals on the rock face were somewhat abstract, Jun Himeya gradually came to understand their meaning after careful consideration.

"So... I'm not the only one."

His gaze shifted slightly before he spoke.

"The light that chose you has actually existed for a very long time, longer than you can probably imagine."

"It is not a simple power, but the light of inheritance. As long as the bond remains, it will be passed down forever."

Minghui's gaze swept over the mural, his tone tinged with a hint of emotion.

After a slight pause, he turned to look at Jun Himeya, a smile playing on his lips, and said:

"So, are you feeling a little disappointed to find out you're not the only special one?"

Disappointed? No!

In response to Minghui's question, Jiya Jun shook his head and said in a low voice:

"I didn't feel disappointed at all; on the contrary, I felt much more relaxed. Knowing that I have so many seniors walking alongside me is... wonderful!"

Minghui sensed the other person's emotions, patted Himeya Jun on the shoulder, and smiled:

"Don't feel pressured. Saving this world from the brink of collapse is not your responsibility alone. Just do your best."

Himeya Jun smiled upon hearing this, nodded slightly, but then suddenly asked in confusion:

"Didn't you discover this power after you came to Earth? Why do you seem so familiar with it?"

"That's true, but this light doesn't belong to Earth alone. Before this, it had already left its own legend in the universe."

Instead of continuing to walk forward side by side, Minghui chuckled and explained to him:

"He has a very powerful background."

"Is that so...?"

Himeya nodded knowingly.

The two talked as they ventured deeper into the ruins.

A moment later, they finally arrived at the end of the passage. After turning a corner, the view suddenly opened up before them.

The passage widened to both sides, and a circular space appeared in front of the two.

"We've arrived. This is the place where I obtained that power."

Himeya Jun stopped in his tracks and spoke.

But Minghui's brows furrowed slowly at this moment.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong earlier, but he only realized what it was now.

There was no trace of energy in these ruins, and even though they had reached their destination, Minghui did not sense anything unusual.

This site has no mystical significance whatsoever.

Thinking this, Minghui looked up at a high platform in the center of the cave, where there was a stone statue that was exactly the same as the ruins.

However, Minghui did not sense any energy fluctuations from the stone statue.

"what happened?"

Himeya Jun noticed Minghui's unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask.

"Something's gone wrong. This seems to be just a simple dream, not..."

Minghui looked a little embarrassed and scratched his head awkwardly.

Just then, Minghui suddenly stopped speaking, his eyebrows furrowed, and he abruptly turned his head to look to the side.

But before he could look over, a voice rang out first:

"Long time no see, Zhun!"

It was a clear, crisp girl's voice, filled with undisguised joy.

Upon hearing this voice, Jun Himeya suddenly froze on the spot. He slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Not far from the two, a figure appeared out of nowhere, shrouded in a faint white light, with a bright smile on his face.

“Sera…”

Himeya Jun murmured something, his heart pounding with turmoil. But instead of rushing forward immediately, he turned to look at Minghui, his eyes questioning.

Facing Jun Himeya's gaze, Akira shook his head somewhat blankly:

"It has nothing to do with me... I don't know!"

Could it be...?

At that moment, something occurred to him, and he turned to look at the stone statue on the high platform.

Under his gaze, a ripple, like the light of water, spread across the stone statue and then spread throughout the entire space.

At that moment, Minghui sensed a subtle change in the surrounding environment; the ruins... had come to life!

A light gradually appeared in Minghui's eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips. He turned to look at Jiya Jun and nodded emphatically.

With his movement, Minghui clearly felt Jiya Jun's heart tremble violently.

Then, Minghui saw him slowly take steps toward the figure shrouded in the dim light.

"Sera, you..."

Minghui ignored their conversation and instead glanced at the girl with a bright smile.

He sensed it carefully, and then a flash of understanding crossed his eyes.
