Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 126 The Shattered World

"puff!"

Green blood splattered to both sides along with Xia Chuan's slash, and Kalis's bow and sword strikes easily broke through the dragonfly monster formation.

Raise your hand and slash.

Xia Chuan moved forward steadily, almost entirely with his arms, until the dragonfly monsters surrounded him from all sides. He then lowered his body slightly, raised his bow and arrow high as he moved his feet, and then turned and delivered a spinning slash.

"Whoosh—!"

The blade flashed across the arc without any obstruction, cleaving all the dragonfly monsters in two like cutting fruit. Through the gaping hole in the middle, one could even see the surviving humans outside.

After a moment's delay, the green blood spurted out again.

Someone covered the child's eyes with trembling hands, then swallowed hard and moved the covers away.

In this cruel world, blindly protecting children is not a good choice.

"My ancestor..."

Karasuma's eyes were glazed over, a mixture of fear, exhilaration, and hope.

How could human undead be truly weak when they were able to become the victors of the ultimate war ten thousand years ago and trample all other undead creatures under their feet?

His somewhat thin body and non-aggressive appearance were just a disguise.

This is the truth.

Ancient humans created this killing suit for the contestants, making them Predator warriors who surpassed other undead creatures.

"Bang! Bang!"

The dragonfly monster's severed limbs landed on the ground, and the undead creature behind it seemed to be frightened. As soon as its gaze met Xia Chuan's red heart compound eyes, it shrieked and flapped its wings to fly away.

Xia Chuan was in no hurry. He glanced at the flying undead creature, embedded the Awakening Device component into the bow and arrow, and then pulled out two cards from the card box.

"Drill!" Conch, Heart 5, high-speed spiral drilling.

"Tornado!" Eagle, 6 hearts, Tornado attribute bonus.

The card's mirror image energy is incorporated.

Xia Chuan raised his hand, lifted the Kalis Bow, pulled the trigger, and aimed at the flying undead creature amidst the whistling wind.

This bow itself has no bowstring, but it can be put into a ready-to-fire state by pulling the trigger on the side of the hand, which is equivalent to the Kuuga Tenma crossbow for long-range attacks.

"Clang!"

A blue arrow surrounded by a storm burst forth with a buzzing sound, and the next moment, an undead creature on the horizon screamed as it plummeted straight down.

Soon, a deep, muffled thud echoed from afar.

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Xia Chuan put away his bow and arrows, deactivated his transformation, and turned to face Karasuma and the others.

I've already learned everything I need to know, there's no need to stay here any longer.

"Can you tell me where the evil god XIV is?"

"You're going to find the evil god?" Karasuma exclaimed in shock. "Absolutely not! No one is a match for that guy, not even you, Ancestor..."

"The person I'm looking for isn't him, but he's definitely over there."

Xia Chuan glanced roughly in the direction of Tokyo.

Even if Karasuma hadn't said anything, he would have had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

The monster's presence was too obvious.

"But……"

Someone was holding a child, their voice trembling.

"What do we do? What if our ancestor leaves..."

"Don't worry, my car will stay here to protect you."

Xia Chuan tilted his head slightly and pointed to the Golem motorcycle that had automatically pulled up behind him. Seemingly sensing the survivors' suspicious gazes, the headlights flashed repeatedly.

Ordinary dragonfly monster golems can handle it.

"Furthermore, protect your own life and don't always think about relying on others. I can't save this world."

……

Tokyo.

The once bustling city is now deserted, with many buildings collapsed, steel and concrete exposed to the sun, weeds growing rampant on the streets, and garbage and debris scattered everywhere.

It was lifeless; not a single animal could be seen.

A scene of desolation.

"call!"

Xia Chuan walked through the ruined streets, looking up at the giant tower-like building in the distance where dragonfly monsters hovered.

Could this be the future of Shinji Kaminari's second world?

Aliens, weirdos, knights... and the observer Zoffy, it's rare to see such a chaotic world maintain a semblance of peace.

Before he obtains truly invincible power, even he cannot change that world.

As for the world right now...

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan looked back and surveyed the groups of dragonfly monsters that had landed all around him, then picked up the Ace of Hearts again and swiped it over his belt awakening device.

"Change!"

"Transformation."

The interior of the tower-shaped building.

Junichi Shimura frowned as he observed the sealed stone slab standing silently before him. Suddenly, his expression darkened with surprise as he left the room, squinting as he watched the image on the light screen in the hall.

"Kalis?! How did he get here? And of all times... Ugh, what an annoying guy!"

"Da da".

The Plum Blossom Knight approached from behind and silently stopped beside Junichi Shimura like a guard. Only after seeing Kalis's figure in the light screen did a glint flash in the knight's eyes.

"Have you found Kenzaki Kazuma?"

After a moment, Shimura Junichi turned to the Plum Blossom Knight and asked.

"We can't wait any longer; we need to complete the task assigned by the Fourteenth Lord as soon as possible."

The Plum Blossom Knight didn't answer, but nodded and replaced the image on the screen with a corner of the city ruins.

Kenzaki Kazuma, who has been turned into a clown, seems to have saved a child living in the city. After killing the dragonfly monster, his black and green body changes and struggles to reveal his human form, with only the green clown identification belt on his abdomen exposed.

"They really won't give up; even at this point, they still want to protect humanity."

Shimura Jun's eyes showed disgust. He took out a sacrifice card, paused for a moment, and decided to ignore Natsukawa for now. He then turned and left the hall with the Plum Blossom Knight.

"We can't wait any longer. Let's deal with Kenzaki Kazuma first, and then we can deal with Kalis. It will be a piece of cake then."

The Plum Blossom Knight did not respond, but silently followed behind Shimura Junichi with his head down.

Tiger Q's statement is not entirely correct. Whenever Kalis appears, she can still regain consciousness briefly, although this consciousness seems meaningless and only makes her more painful and desperate.

but.

Seeing Kenzaki Kazuma desperately trying to transform back into a human form deeply moved her as well.

Despite his current state, Kenzaki Kazuma continues to fight for humanity and still wants to live as a human.

She couldn't even resist the will of the Ace of Clubs, so it's hard to imagine how Kenzaki could suppress the Clown's will.

Perhaps not everyone is suited to be a knight.

If she had listened to advice and continued running the taiyaki business, would things have turned out differently?

"What? Are you scared?"

Junichi Shimura glanced at the Plum Blossom Knight.

"As long as Kenzaki Kazuma is sacrificed to Lord Fourteen, I can participate in the next Ultimate War as a new undead creature, and then I will naturally fulfill my promise to you."

……

"Brother Kenzaki!"

A corner of the city.

A little boy carried a basin of dark water into the archway, wet a towel, and wiped the sweat off Kenzaki Kazuma's face.

It's clear that Kenzaki Kazuma is enduring immense pain every moment.

Once he's completely transformed into the Joker, even 13 Spade cards would be difficult to suppress him, let alone now that all his cards are gone.

It can only rely on one's own will.

"It's all my fault," the little boy said remorsefully. "I shouldn't have gone out to find food."

"It's none of your business."

Kenzaki Kazuma forced a smile.

"Don't worry, I will definitely get you out of Tokyo."

"I'm not going out," the little boy cried. "Are people really still alive? This world..."

"Don't give up," Kenzaki Kazuma said, pulling the little boy back with a heavy heart. "As long as we don't give up, there's always a chance for things to turn around."

"Is it because of Kamen Rider that Kenzaki-nii mentioned?" the little boy asked blankly. "Does Kamen Rider really exist?"

"Of course."

Kenzaki Kazuma took a breath and turned his gaze to the dragonfly monsters roaming the sky outside.

There are currently only two Knight Systems in this world.

One set is Shimura's Glaive, and the other is the Plum Blossom Knight, but unfortunately, they are both enemies.

"Has something happened outside?" Kenzaki Kazuma suddenly asked, puzzled.

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but there seem to be fewer dragonfly monsters, and the remaining ones all seem to be moving in the same direction.

"When I was fetching water just now, I heard an explosion in the distance, and the sky was filled with countless monsters."

The little boy's expression darkened slightly.

"It's probably because the other survivors were discovered."

Monsters of this size are certain to die if discovered.

The other side will soon return to calm.
