Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 154 Betrayal

Smart Brain is a company specializing in intelligent brain technology.

The conglomerate founded by Orfino was ostensibly a large, disguised technology company in the past.

Now, the Orphnoch era has come into the open, existing as the sole official governing body, managing all aspects of the Orphnoch world.

"Hello everyone, we at Smart Brain, representing Orphino, are about to host a life-or-death battle against humanity in the sports arena..."

Orphino-occupied territory.

Natsukawa followed Murakami Kohei and the Faiz-clad Takumi Inui through the streets, where large GG screens were displaying news from Smart Brain.

Pedestrians on the street can easily spot the faint orophonic patterns with a casual glance; they are naturally visible and not at all hidden.

"We've arrived, let's go in."

Murakami Kohei glanced coldly at Natsukawa, who had stopped, his face no longer showing hostility, but still not a friendly expression.

Xia Chuan didn't take it seriously, and just looked up at the stadium scene displayed on the big screen.

The stands were already packed with Orphnochs, the atmosphere was electric, and shouts and cheers could be heard from time to time.

It felt like watching a play.

Indeed, it is incredible that humanity, being the weaker party in this world, has not yet been wiped out.

"Mr. Natsukawa."

Qian Qiaoshen nodded and followed Murakami Kohei into the gymnasium first.

"Whoosh—!"

As soon as we entered the venue, an even louder shout erupted, creating a more intense and boisterous atmosphere than outside, with the sound waves almost blowing our skulls off.

Xia Chuan frowned slightly, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

After entering the central arena, it took quite a while before three figures finally emerged from the opposite side, igniting screams and shouts once again.

"It's a lucky four-leaf clover," Inui Takumi reminded Natsukawa. "There are only 3 people left now, but each of them is a top-tier Orphnoch, especially the one on the far left, who is known as the strongest Orphnoch."

Xia Chuan looked at the three people opposite him.

A bespectacled young man holding a book who looks a lot like Isamu Kondo, and a glamorous, mature woman dressed as a barmaid.

Qian Qiao was referring to the last lazy young man, whose clothes were loose and baggy, whose hair was disheveled, and who was yawning and looked like he hadn't woken up yet.

He was no stranger to the lucky four-leaf clover.

This young man should be Kitazaki, the strongest among them. He is a dragon-type Orphnoch, and like Kabuto, he has two forms. He can break through his armor to increase his speed.

It possesses the special ability to turn any object it touches into ash; ordinary people who are touched by it will immediately turn to ashes.

"Leave Kitasaki to me."

Kohei Murakami stepped forward first, entered the transformation code into the core phone, closed the driver belt, and the yellow energy pipes extended, instantly forming the Caesar Knight suit.

"snort."

Looking back at Natsukawa, Murakami Kohei drew a camera-shaped fist-gun knuckle weapon and rushed into the arena.

Kamen Rider Kaiser.

Xia Chuan looked thoughtful.

This was the first time he had ever seen a level 5 knight in this world. He felt that the knight was indeed far superior to ordinary knights, but not particularly powerful.

A fusion coefficient of 100 only means that it is a perfect match for the Knight System, capable of unleashing all the power of the Knight System and displaying power that is difficult for ordinary knights to achieve. However, it ultimately cannot surpass the Knight System itself.

"Transform!"

Without hesitation, Inui Takumi also entered the transformation code into his phone to complete the transformation. The Faiz Knight figure was fully dressed as the red energy channels spread.

"Standing By!" is in standby mode.

"Complete!"

"Whoosh!"

As a burst of red light bloomed and subsided, the skilled knight also rushed into the arena, his target being the alluring woman.

All that was left for Xia Chuan was a bespectacled man with a confident expression, carrying a book in one hand as he entered.

It looks a bit pretentious.

He really does look like Isamu Kondo.

Thinking of his old friend from the Knights Academy of this world, Xia Chuan wasted no time and directly inserted the trigger core.

"Transform!"

Compared to Inui and Takumi, Delta's transformation is simpler; the voice-controlled code requires no extra movements, making it quick and convenient.

This suited him quite well.

With so many transformation moves, you could die several times over in a crucial moment.

"Complete!"

"call--!"

Despite being the last to transform, Xia Chuan was the first to begin his battle. Even before he appeared, an invisible aura had already enveloped the entire area.

The temperature in the entire stadium seemed to drop significantly. The audience, who were still celebrating, suddenly changed their expressions, all feeling a chill down their spines, and looked in confusion at Delta's black and white figure walking out of the passageway.

Level 3 Ultra Psychic Power doesn't have wide-range destructive power, but it's very useful as a deterrent.

For those with weak mental fortitude or ordinary Orphnochs, they would lose their fighting ability before the fight even begins.

"Whoosh!"

The bespectacled youth, who was the primary target of the deterrence, felt it most acutely. He had just revealed his Orphnoch form when he reverted back to human form, taking several steps back in horror, and casually tossing aside the book he had been holding.

"What?"

Staring at Xia Chuan walking towards him, the bespectacled youth felt as if he were facing a terrifying giant tens of meters tall, whose mere presence almost made him breathless.

"Hey, what are you doing?" the mature woman fighting Faiz called out in bewilderment.

"I don't know either, but..."

The bespectacled young man swallowed.

"Didn't you feel it? Why am I fighting their strongest? It should be Mr. Kitasaki fighting this guy!"

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"call!"

"Bang--!"

Xia Chuan quickly rushed into the arena, and the bespectacled youth, who had just mustered his courage again, was blasted back to the entrance passage by the explosive flames, only managing to let out a scream.

It's significantly more convenient after your physique is upgraded to level 5.

Regardless of the knight system, it seems to start at level 5, making it easy to use without needing any adaptation time.

Xia Chuan flicked his fist, about to catch up and deal with the bespectacled youth, when a whooshing sound suddenly came from behind.

"Um?"

Xia Chuan turned slightly to the side.

A golden beam of light from a four-cornered pyramid immobilized him, and Caesar leaped to his feet, launching a powerful double kick without hesitation.

"ha--!"

Caesar stared coldly at the immobile Xia Chuan, as if he could already foresee Xia Chuan's defeat and death, yet at the last moment he still did not sense any despair from Xia Chuan's calm knightly figure.

Delta's orange-red eyes remained calm throughout.

What?

Just as his ultimate move was about to land, Caesar suddenly felt himself trapped in a stagnant atmosphere. His flying kick abruptly shifted, and the golden cursor that had immobilized him exploded without warning.

As Caesar, now without support, tumbled and crashed to the ground, and as he looked up again, Natsukawa Delta suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Kaminari...you're a level 5 knight too?!"

"Bang--!"

Caesar cried out in alarm and tried to dodge, but was still kicked away by Xia Chuan.

However, at this moment, the dragon-type Orphnoch also attacked, along with a large number of mass-produced Leo cavalry.

The entire stadium instantly transformed into a giant trap.

"Is this what you call a savior?"

Xia Chuan glanced around at the armed forces that continued to appear as the audience left, then his gaze returned to Kaiser Murakami Kohei.

I thought humanity was already struggling, but it turns out that the final peace was just a facade.

"Mr. Natsukawa!" Faiz gasped as she retreated to Natsukawa's side. "What on earth happened?"

"It's obvious that he is not your savior."

Xia Chuan glanced quietly at Caesar, who was standing next to Orphnoch.

"You can leave now; I'll take care of things here."

"Me?" Faiz seemed a little taken aback. "Mr. Natsukawa..."

"This world still needs you," Xia Chuan said, raising his hand to block an explosive attack. "It's at least a small good deed for the people of this world."

What happened to the previous chapter? Was it under review again?
