Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 117 Category King

"Buzz!"

Leo's House, 2nd floor.

Xia Chuan had just finished showering when he saw Fang Bat II frantically fly in through the window.

"Something's happened, Kaminari!"

"What's wrong?" Xia Chuan asked in surprise. "What's making you so flustered?"

"An undead creature calling itself the King has captured Hiroko; it seems to possess the ability to stop time..."

It took the second Fang Bat a while to explain the situation. Seeing that Xia Chuan didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, he bit Xia Chuan's sleeve.

"Hurry and save them, Shinaga!"

"It's alright, that guy's target is probably me."

Xia Chuan silently took out the 10 Hearts card, and the image of the Ultimate Battle flashed through his mind.

This time it should be the King of Spades. The opponent has controlled the Ten of Spades, which has the ability to stop time, which is indeed a bit troublesome.

No matter how powerful he is, he's no different from anyone else when it comes to a skill like stopping time.

We need to figure out how to deal with this.

Fortunately, the time stop of the 10 of Spades has a flaw; rather than a time stop, it's more like a time-space fixation, so the people trapped inside won't be harmed.

Even though the undead scarab creatures that activate the ability can move freely within it without being affected by time, they can only launch an attack after deactivating the ability.

It's not completely unsolvable.

and.

The ability to move within a time-stopped space simply by possessing a part of the undead scarab beetle's body reveals a significant flaw.

"Bang!"

Commercial plaza.

The crowd outside fled in droves, leaving the place deserted in the blink of an eye, while the chaotic scene remained inside, where time seemed to have stopped.

The young man leisurely picked up his coffee in the frozen space, smiling as he looked at the rose-wearing woman who tried to rush in but was repelled.

"It's no use, you can't get in. Time has stopped in this space."

The boy glanced outside the mall, frowned, and put down the coffee cup he was holding.

Time stopped, and I couldn't even drink coffee.

"They should be here soon, right?"

"Baruba!"

Fujiwara Saiji happened to be outside the mall. He glanced at the helpless Rose Woman and then turned his gaze to the frozen interior of the mall.

"I'll help!"

"Transform!"

The Royal Bee Insect Device fell from the sky and was caught in Fujiwara Saiji's hand. He casually fastened it to his left-hand knight's bracelet to equip himself with the Royal Bee Armor.

Over the past few months, Fujiwara Saiji has matured considerably, becoming less immature and more composed.

In particular, recently, in order to become stronger, he underwent intensive training within the Fujiwara Foundation and finally became a true Level 3 Knight.

"Just watch, I'll show you my true power!"

Fujiwara Saiji, in his Royal Bee armored form, walked past Rose Woman, his armored punch striking the enclosed shopping mall space.

"Bang--!"

A deafening roar erupted as the force of the Royal Bee's punch rebounded entirely onto Fujiwara Saiji himself, receiving the same treatment as Rose Girl, and perhaps even more violently.

"Ahem!"

Fujiwara Saiji struggled to his feet, his arms still trembling slightly, and his gaze as he looked at the mall was filled with shock.

"How could this happen?"

"I told you you can't get in."

The boy's smile remained unchanged, and after a few simple movements of his hands and feet, he voluntarily stepped out of the enclosed space.

"Your Knight System seems interesting. Let me try it out, just as a warm-up."

"He actually came out on his own!"

Fujiwara Saiji clenched his fist in a deep voice, glanced at the rose girl beside him, and angrily strode towards the boy.

"call!"

The Royal Bee armor form stands in stark contrast to the frail boy; the powerful force enhanced by the heavy armor creates a whooshing sound, seemingly about to tear the boy to shreds in the blink of an eye.

Unexpectedly, the boy showed no intention of dodging, crossing his arms and remaining motionless, simply forming a shield in front of him to block the royal bee's fist.

"Bang! Bang!"

Fujiwara Saiji was knocked back by the shock and continued to throw punches from different angles, but no matter how he attacked, he was always blocked by the shield that appeared out of nowhere.

Human form is this powerful?!

Seeing the boy's unchanged smile, Fujiwara Saiji stubbornly charged forward again with a sweeping kick, only to be knocked away by the boy's casual psychic attack.

"what!"

"Bang--!"

"You can't hurt me," the boy said, idly scrutinizing Fujiwara Saiji. "I've heard of a special skill called Time Rise. Let's give it a try."

"asshole!"

Enraged, Fujiwara slammed his fist on the ground, got back up, and roared as he activated the insect-control device on his left arm.

"Cast Off!" (Shedding armor)

"Bang bang bang!"

The Royal Bee Heavy Armor bounced open, revealing the knight's battle stance inside. As he faced the smiling boy, he quickly patted his side with his fingers.

"Clock Up!" is displayed.

"Whoosh!"

Upon entering the acceleration zone, the surrounding space and time slowed down. However, before Fujiwara Saiji could launch an attack, a golden light suddenly flashed in front of him, and the Royal Bee Knight's figure froze and appeared in the boy's field of vision after only one step.

"Looks like it's still not very good."

The boy dispelled his shield, allowing the undead scarab creature to walk to Fujiwara Saiji's side.

"release!"

The scarab undead creature, under the boy's command, deactivated the time stop and punched away Fujiwara Saiji, who was charging forward with inertia.

Time-Ascending is supposedly designed to reduce the effects of time on the Knight, thus achieving acceleration, but it seems unable to escape the Scarab's ability to stop time in space.

With a single blow, Fujiwara Saiji immediately broke free from his Ascended state.

"Clock over!"

"Bang!"

"This is boring, you're too weak."

The boy lost interest in Fujiwara Saiji and continued to look outside the mall. Only after hearing the faint sound of something flying through the air did he finally perk up and a smile reappeared on his lips.

"They're here."

"Whoosh!"

Above the plaza, Xia Chuan transformed into Kalis, using the power of the dragonfly immortal creature to swiftly glide across the buildings and streets, landing straight down under the watchful, laughing gaze of the young man.

"Whoosh!"

Time stopped once again.

This time the scope was even larger, the entire shopping mall, including the airspace above, was instantly frozen, and Xia Chuan was also fixed about one meter off the ground.

"You were too careless, Kalis," the boy laughed and walked up to Xia Chuan. "So what if you're strong? Victory isn't just determined by strength."

Thinking of his experience during the extreme battle, the boy, who had been playing around and seemingly relaxed, suddenly changed his expression, his face darkening with a mixture of vengeful pleasure, making him appear somewhat deranged.

However, only the boy and the scarab beetle could move freely in this space; no one else could see them.

"What a pity, you must be very unwilling to accept losing to me like this, right?"

He patted Xia Chuan Kalis's face with a look of enjoyment, but the boy's expression suddenly twisted, and he clenched his fist and swung it out fiercely.

pain!

The fist struck Xia Chuan, but it was the boy whose expression changed.

Realizing he couldn't attack from the time-stopped area, the boy hurriedly shouted at the scarab, "Release!"

"Whoosh!"

The scarab beetle activated its ability again, and time resumed its flow. However, before the boy could continue his attack, Xia Chuan suddenly ripped off the gray-white cloth strip wrapped around the boy's arm.

"you……"

"Bang!"

With a landing footstep, Xia Chuan punched the stunned boy away, then grabbed the sealing card that the second Fang Bat was fluttering towards him.

I was originally thinking of avoiding having my battle cards taken away during the pause, but this guy is easier to deal with than I expected.

Xia Chuan looked at the gray-white cloth strip in his hand.

The scarab beetle is also wrapped with this kind of cloth strip.

This is probably why the boy can move freely in the time-stopped area.
