Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 14 Biological Weapons

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Hiroko Asami and Kazumi Takahashi huddled in a corner like minor characters, feeling extremely uncomfortable in the dull conference room.

She really didn't like this kind of situation; it felt like ants were constantly crawling all over her, but she couldn't move around.

"Senior," Kazumi Takahashi asked in a low voice, "why is it so important that we have to attend the meeting?"

"Don't speak." Hiroko Asami responded with a glance.

Of course she knew the reason.

If there are no surprises, it should be related to that bat monster and the green Kamen Rider.

"Knock knock!"

As the sound of leather shoes echoed down the corridor, a group of serious-looking senior members of the alliance entered the conference room one after another, with even the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department, who was second in command, having to follow behind.

Hiroko Asami shifted uncomfortably, but immediately sat up straight when she noticed several pairs of eyes looking at her.

"Everyone."

The conference room screen turned on, and a researcher from the Fujiwara Research Institute stepped forward with a computer to project the image.

"It is a great honor to cooperate with the officers. We have now determined the official codename for the strange person who has been active recently."

Following the analysis of ancient scripts unearthed at the Jiulangyue ruins, it was determined that the ancient humans referred to them as the Gurongi, a group of creatures that specifically hunted the Linduo, who were essentially humans.

After displaying images and text about the deceased, the projected image quickly switched to photos of the murder scene.

"Based on the analysis of the collected Gurongi biological tissues, these strange creatures are very similar to humans. We suspect that they are biological weapons formed by aliens after being modified by ancient humans, and the modification method is a mysterious alien stone."

"Alien rocks?"

A murmur arose from the audience, but the researcher noticed it, smiled, and continued presenting the research data.

"We were fortunate enough to obtain a sample of the stone. By sheer coincidence, this stone, in addition to creating monsters, can also become the source of power for Kamen Rider."

As you've probably all heard these past few days, an unknown Kamen Rider is going around eliminating Grongi. They may be different colors, but they're all the same entity.

After in-depth research, we discovered that the opponent's belt core is actually a type of alien stone. Rather than calling them a Kamen Rider, it's more accurate to say they are a monster, not much different from the Grongi. This is likely why they were able to easily destroy the Grongi.

A high-ranking official timely asked, "Was the Kamen Rider who destroyed the Grongi on the side of humanity?"

"It's too early to say," the researcher shook his head. "This group is almost entirely composed of battle maniacs. I think that Kamen Rider's actions were more like a hunt; he didn't really have any principles."

However, the ancient humans did indeed regard him as a warrior to fight the Grongi, codenamed Kuuga.

Another senior executive pondered for a moment, then tapped his finger on the table and looked at Hiroko Asami in the corner: "Investigator Asami."

"yes!"

Slightly distracted, Hiroko Asami abruptly stood up and responded.

"As one of the witnesses, Investigator Asami will be responsible for tracking down this Kamen Rider named Kuuga."

"Ah? Yes!" Hiroko Asami inwardly groaned.

It doesn't sound like a good job.

"Regarding the Gurongi," the Metropolitan Police Department commander below asked with concern, "isn't there any other way to eliminate them? I heard they seem to possess some kind of immortality."

"It's just that some Gurongi are difficult to eliminate, which seems to be related to their level, and that's the main point I'm going to make next."

The researcher nodded slightly.

"In reality, not all Grongi possess immortality. Low-level Grongi are similar to Green Thorns; some can even be killed with firearms."

Meanwhile, we have developed a specially designed nerve-severing bullet, which is sufficient to deal with most level 2 danger Grongi. Even if it cannot kill higher-danger-level Grongi, it can still hinder their movements...

"Is there no way to eliminate it if the danger level is over 2?" The crowd below the stage frowned.

"Currently, we need to repeatedly kill them in a short period of time to completely eliminate them," the researcher said, his expression slightly grim. "However, we are already working on developing a new type of driver to eliminate the Grongi by simulating the Kuuga's abilities..."

"When will that be?"

"And it might not even be useful."

"Only captain-level riders can repeatedly kill level 2 or higher monsters in a short period of time, right? So we still have to rely on that rider named Kuuga."

"How can we place our hopes on this knight of unknown origin?!" someone exclaimed angrily. "We can't control him at all! That guy is of the same origin as the Grongi; he's too dangerous!"

"If you ask me, there weren't any Grongis before. Perhaps it was the other side that caused the Grongis to appear!"

The meeting room fell into discussion again. Hiroko Asami silently shrank into a corner, the image of the green knight involuntarily resurfacing in her mind.

Is it a biological weapon that shares the same origin as the monster?

This is the first time I've ever heard of something like this.

"above."

The meeting room eventually quieted down after the league's top management spoke.

"The Gurongi Contract Investigation Headquarters will be established to fully address this Knight World invasion incident..."

"Sir!"

A police officer rushed into the conference room.

"Another strange person has appeared, in Suginami Ward!"

……

Asasaya, Suginami Ward.

Just as a giant barrier was about to take shape, it suddenly expanded several times over, covering several blocks around it. Two figures leaped at high speed on the rooftop of a tall building in the middle, seemingly unaffected by Earth's gravity.

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan landed, and Kuuga, in his Azure Dragon form, walked straight to the other side, where the locust Gurongi had given up trying to escape.

Although the barrier has many drawbacks, it can sometimes be quite helpful; at least this locust Gurongi has nowhere to escape.

"Kuuga!" The locust Gurongi took a step back in fear.

He did not encounter Xia Chuan during the ancient era, but he repeatedly heard other Gurongi talk about Kuuga's power.

He didn't know much about where the strength lay, but it seemed that he couldn't escape the pursuit by jumping at all, and was even about to fall into a disadvantageous position.

"Don't think I'm afraid of you, Kuuga!" the locust roared defiantly.

We're no longer in the ancient era; the rules of the game have returned to hunting Lindo.

He's not afraid of starting from scratch.

"Clang!"

Xia Chuan didn't speak. He casually snapped off a section of steel pipe from the rooftop. His special ability activated, and the steel pipe's atoms underwent a rapid transformation and recombination, instantly turning into his exclusive weapon, the Azure Dragon Staff.

The 3th one.

"Bang--!"

"Whoosh!"

Facing the locust Gurongi who launched the attack first, Xia Chuan leaped up in sync, thrusting the tip of his Azure Dragon Staff straight down the high-rise building, his body piercing the chest of the locust Gurongi, before crashing heavily into the ground amidst the howling air currents.

A high-temperature seal mark appeared on the surface of the locust Gulangji's body, and even the streets below formed faint traces of the seal text.

"How could this be?" the locust Gurongi asked with difficulty. "Your power..."

"BOOM!!"

Xia Chuan put away the Azure Dragon Staff and jumped to avoid the impact of the explosion.

However, just as he landed, a car crashed into him violently.

At the same time, a roar in Gurongi language also followed.

"Go to hell, Kuuga!"

"besides?"

As the car approached, with people still seeking refuge inside the glass doors of the mall behind him, Xia Chuan habitually patted the side of his belt. Instantly, he switched to his all-powerful red form, raised his hand, and steadily caught the car, though his body sank slightly and his steps slipped a little.

The biggest advantage of Kuuga is that you can transform at will without any complicated operations. If you have a strong will, you don't even need to perform the transformation action.

"Bang!"

After tossing the car aside to dissipate the impact, Xia Chuan turned his gaze toward the source of the roar.

A burly, tattooed man in human form angrily pounded his chest, his figure quickly transforming into a rhinoceros, Gurongi.

So it was this guy.

The strongest weirdo in the Zi Group, he possesses brute strength and is also quite defensive. His most striking feature is the hard and sharp rhinoceros horn on his head.

It seems that the ancient one was killed by him from behind with a sword while fighting other Grongi.

"Since that's the case..."

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan's form changed again. First, the core of his belt turned purple, and then his body quickly transformed into a purple Titan form clad in heavy armor. The Azure Dragon Staff in his hand also transformed into a heavy, exclusive Titan longsword.

The red form is versatile; the blue dragon form enhances jumping ability and agility; and the pegasus form strengthens the six senses.

The purple Titan form focuses on enhancing defense, strength, and attack.

Other aspects may be significantly reduced, but it's just right for dealing with the Gurongi rhinoceros.

"The 4th one."
