Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 130 A Wish Ten Thousand Years Later

"Kaminaga——!"

The torrential rain and fierce winds could not obscure Kiva's moon shadow. Shimura Junichi could only watch helplessly as Natsukawa flew overhead and, together with Sougo Kuga and Kalis, kicked down.

Kuuga's All-Round Rising Kick and Kalis's Tornado Storm Kick were executed first, followed by Dark Kiva's second ultimate move, which unfolded with bat wings and descended with the afterimage of the full moon.

Despite the huge difference in size, the seemingly insignificant one is actually the evil god Fourteen, who is bound by the sealing barrier.

The white behemoth's body seemed to realize the deadly threat, roaring and struggling incessantly, finally gathering a large amount of thunder to attack Xia Chuan.

"roar!"

"That is..."

As the clown Kenzaki reverted to his human form, his mind went blank as he silently watched the Blood Moon Kick collide with the fourteen-year-old white-armored body.

With his final blow, he seemed to see the phantom silhouette of Ultraman from the past.

The mentor is still Ultraman, and always has been Ultraman.

"Bang--!"

"Whoosh!"

A large amount of lightning exploded in mid-air, and after a brief resistance, Fourteen screamed as he crashed into the tower-like building.

Xia Chuan Dark Kiva crouched down, and a huge bat knight emblem followed the landing of the fourteen bodies behind him, imprinting itself onto the entire block.

Even from high above, it can be clearly seen, as if it has left a deep signature stamp on the city, standing out prominently among the high-rise buildings and ruins.

"call!"

Turning around to glance at Shimura Junichi, who had exploded and disintegrated along with Fourteen, Natsukawa's Fang Bat II belt came off the buckle and deactivated his transformation. Kuuga and Kalis also transformed back into cards and fell into Natsukawa's hand.

"You...you won?"

Karasuma and his group arrived in downtown Tokyo on the Golem motorcycle, staring in disbelief at the enormous flames that exploded from the Fourteenth.

The swirling thunderclouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the hovering dragonfly monsters vanished like smoke. The dark clouds that had enveloped the entire world disappeared in an instant.

"Ancestor..."

"God's Eternal Mentor!"

Kenzaki Kazuma ran into the ruined battlefield, trying to get close to Natsukawa, when he suddenly saw the black sealing stone tablet float down in front of Natsukawa.

A terrifying aura, far surpassing that of the Evil God XIV, descended, causing Kenzaki Kazuma to instinctively stop in his tracks. His entire body seemed frozen, and his teeth chattered.

"ruler!"

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan calmly faced the sealing stone slab.

The deity behind the scenes still shows no sign of revealing itself. Perhaps it has no physical form and exists as a kind of world will, or perhaps it is subject to some kind of restriction.

Are we going to expel him?

His unauthorized entry into this time and space is tantamount to illegal immigration.

"You want me to be your agent? Sorry, I have my own world."

Xia Chuan's gaze flickered as he made contact with the will behind the sealed stone tablet.

He didn't like this feeling of the unknown.

Despite not sensing any hostility, he was prepared to leave this time and space at any time.

Unlike when I came in, leaving was much easier.

The shuttle seemed to be bound to his own world; the connection had never been broken, and he could return at any time.

"Whoosh!"

A new wave of information flooded Xia Chuan's mind.

The wish he didn't use ten thousand years ago remains inside the stone tablet; as long as one is in this world, any wish can be fulfilled.

Any wish...

Could he possibly achieve his goal of becoming a true god?

Upon receiving a negative response from the sealed stone tablet, Xia Chuan shook his head slightly.

He knew that such a wish was unrealistic.

Not only does it have an upper limit, but it can only be effective in this world, so what use is it to him?

Do I have to tie myself to this world forever?

He doesn't belong here.

The sealing stone tablet couldn't give him what he truly wanted.

"Brother Kenzaki!"

The little boy ran barefoot through the streets littered with debris, skirting the collapsed buildings and heading straight for Kenzaki Kazuma, waving and shouting happily as he ran.

A commotion arose from behind as Karasuma and his group arrived at the scene on the Golem motorcycle.

"Buzz!"

Xia Chuan touched the Golem motorcycle that had returned to his side, and calmly looked at the gathered survivors.

Not only Karasuma and his group, but also some wary and observing people emerged from the corners of the city. Dressed in rags, they stood amidst the ruins of tall buildings, seemingly having been in the darkness underground for too long, shielding their eyes with their arms as they looked up at the clear blue sky.

After a storm and heavy rain, new greenery appeared everywhere in the city, and the clear puddles reflected the sky.

Apocalypse and new life coexist.

So, what should you wish for?

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan and the Golem motorcycle emitted light together, fading and disappearing amidst the gasps of the many survivors.

"My ancestor!"

"Divine Mentor..."

Kenzaki Kazuma ruffled the little boy's hair, his face showing a hint of sadness as he watched Natsukawa leave, before finally breaking into a smile.

"I have found my path, mentor. I will stay and protect this world, as a human being."

"Whoosh—!"

A bright light burst forth from within the sealed stone tablet, instantly engulfing the entire Earth.

In the ruins, the tattered Plum Blossom Knight's belt vanished like specks of light, and the tomboy next to him was also enveloped in light.

……

This world.

The shopping street was much busier than ever before, with crowds thronging the area. Hibino's taiyaki shop had returned to its usual state, with long queues forming outside.

Xia Chuan stood in line at the corner, quietly watching the busy, lively figures inside the store, still shouting like a tomboy.

"Feel sorry!"

The tomboy walked past Xia Chuan counting people, then suddenly came back and put up a sign that read "Sold Out Today" in front of Xia Chuan.

"I'm so sorry, but today... wait, sir, haven't I seen you somewhere before?"

The tomboy glanced at Xia Chuan a few more times, and the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed. Suddenly, she exclaimed and pointed at Xia Chuan.

"Hey! You're Shinji Kaminaga?! You're in real life! I grew up listening to your stories! You really can't become Ultraman anymore? Everyone says you're Kamen Rider Gekijo now..."

"call!"

In the central square, Natsukawa, carrying a bag of taiyaki, looked back at the tomboy who was still busy.

Have you lost your memory?

fair enough.

The institute's data was mostly destroyed, and no one knew that the tomboy was the Knight of the Plum Blossoms.

You can live a peaceful and ordinary life.

There may be another chance to become a knight in the future, but it will be much safer.

"Are taiyaki really that delicious?"

The second-generation Fang Bat flapped its wings and darted around Xia Chuan.

"But speaking of which, Kaminari, what exactly happened in your past? Why are you so determined to protect this world? And what does that child mean by Ultraman?"

"Do I need a reason?" Xia Chuan continued walking away, "This is my world now."

If I had to give a reason, it would probably be responsibility and legacy.

In order to repay this life he has now, and to repay the expectations of Shinji and Lipia.

The so-called Ultraman is actually Shinji Kaminaga and Rivia.

There seemed to be no life forms of light in this world, but light was born after Shinji Kaminari and Lipia merged.

The light was very faint, yet it remained within him.

Like the original Ultraman in the Ultraman universe, Shinji Kaminaga and Rivia could have been the beginning of light.

pity……

Sooner or later, he will transform into Ultraman again and inherit this glory.

This is also one of the reasons why he chose the evolution of light.

"But I feel you don't belong here either," the second Fang Bat said, puzzled. "Are you really Shinji Kaminari? Are you really human?"

"Just consider me that."

Natsukawa ignored the second generation of the Fang Bat and ate the taiyaki while it was still hot.

The familiar taste is back, and even the tomboyish taiyaki has developed a sentimental quality.

……

"Whoosh!"

The lowest underground level of a certain research institute.

The petrified Decade belt inside the enclosed space suddenly glowed faintly, and the figures of a group of knights fighting in the Mirror World could be vaguely seen.

Can I take a day off today? I'd like to try a different format for the next story to avoid reader fatigue, and I'd also like to hear everyone's suggestions.

The storylines of dungeons vary in length, and Blade has shortened them as much as possible.

Despite the abundance of knight-themed dramas, there's actually not that much to write about. I don't follow the plot, and I won't write about every knight.

Reading novels is much easier; writing them involves so much thinking that my hair turns white, and half a day's work is read in a few seconds.
