Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 155 Execution Frenzy

"This is astonishing, everyone! The savior of humanity has actually pledged allegiance to us, the Orphnochs! What will become of the remaining two knights?"

"This time, humanity is truly facing its end. Let's cheer!"

Tokyo.

The sound of program announcements echoed throughout the city streets.

All outdoor screens switched to the display of the AI ​​company's sports arena, and it was clearly visible not only in Orphino but also in areas where people congregate.

A large number of surviving people on the streets stared in astonishment at the giant screen that rose on the other side of the barrier, while the televisions in the shopping street also received the broadcast signal.

"Ah Qiao and Mr. Xia Chuan..."

The short-haired woman, along with Kimura Saya, kept a close eye on the arena battles, her emotions fluctuating like a rollercoaster.

"Yukihira has actually sided with the Orphnochs!"

Was this competition a trap from the very beginning?

Watching the scene where Inuyasha struggles to break free under Natsukawa's cover, the short-haired woman's eyes welled up with tears in her bewilderment.

Why is this happening?

"truth……"

Saya Kimura turned pale as she looked at the desperate pedestrians on the street.

What should have been a game that brought hope has, in a short time, dragged humanity further into the abyss.

An atmosphere of panic immediately enveloped the entire gathering area.

Why?

"Has the Savior betrayed humanity?"

"It's over!"

"Lord Savior..."

An elderly woman in the shopping street collapsed to the ground, holding her granddaughter. She seemed to have lost all her strength, staring blankly at the television broadcast.

The three people beside him, including Kiba Yuji, had complicated expressions.

As Orphnochs who still considered themselves human, the three were far less desperate than the humans around them, but they still felt uneasy.

"What on earth are those guys trying to do?" The man with the hat upside down, Naoya Kaido, pounded on the wall. "Are they deliberately trying to disgust humans?"

Yuji Kiba shook his head slightly, looked around, and sighed as he gazed at the ubiquitous television broadcasts.

"It seems we were all wrong before. That savior might have been someone from the Brainpower Corporation from the very beginning."

"Huh?" Kaidou Naoya was both angry and amused. "What are they after? To play games?"

"Perhaps he is the king of the Orphnochs."

Yuji Kiba said with a furrowed brow.

"I also heard this from the president of the AI ​​company. We Orphnochs are actually incompletely evolved humans with very short lifespans. To change our fate of death, we must rely on the power of the King."

"king?"

"While I don't know how credible it is, the existence of the King of Orphnoch is probably real, and there must have been kings before."

Under the scrutinizing gazes of his two companions, Yuji Kiba thoughtfully offered his explanation.

"It's said that the King of the Orphnochs only emerges from humans in extreme death environments. I wonder if this is what the Brain Corporation is after?"

"call!"

The group was completely unaware of the blue butterfly that had been resting on the roof beam.

The human reactions in the gathering area, including the conversations of Kiba and his group, were all transmitted back to the AI ​​company via the scattered blue butterflies.

As the highest-ranking manager, the president of the AI ​​company, Murakami Kyoji, smiled and adjusted his collar with a hint of self-satisfaction.

"President," the flamboyant female secretary reminded him, "Should the Delta Belt still be handed over to Murakami Kohei as agreed?"

"Of course, I hate broken promises the most, and this belt is irrelevant to him."

Murakami Kyoji smiled generously and turned his gaze back to the arena.

Although Faiz escaped, Delta was left behind, which won't affect the outcome.

"The time for execution has come!"

"Whoosh—!"

Inside the arena, a large number of Orphnoch soldiers transformed into Leo cavalry poured in, and from the scene alone, even Natsukawa Delta's figure could no longer be seen.

They were completely overwhelmed by a massive number of enemies.

The competitive event turned into an alternative carnival.

Viewers seem to be able to foresee the scene of Delta being torn apart.

"oh oh--!"

"Mr. Natsukawa!"

After escaping his pursuers, Qian Qiao hastily transformed and stumbled to a corner of the mall. Upon seeing the arena scene on the big screen, he clenched his fingers tightly.

"Mr. Natsukawa didn't escape..."

"snort."

Kohei Murakami silently observed the Nebula Clover group, his expression hidden beneath the knight's mask, only slightly raising his head when the camera zoomed in.

It seemed as if they could see Kimura Saya and the other person, who looked pale, across space.

"Don't blame me."

Murakami Kohei felt cold inside.

If it weren't for Xia Chuan, if the Delta Belt had been handed to him, this attempt would still have ended in failure, but he wouldn't have gone this far.

He will remain humanity's savior until he fulfills his agreement with the AI ​​company.

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, a series of explosions rang out in the arena. Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see the Leo cavalrymen flying backward in large numbers, and the situation was instantly reversed.

"What?" Murakami Kyoji frowned slightly.

Delta's figure, which appeared to have been submerged, reappeared in the frame.

From beginning to end, no Leo cavalry was able to get close to Xia Chuan. All the bullets were blocked by an invisible psychic barrier, and in the end, they were all deflected and repelled the Leo cavalry.

In the vast stadium, Delta, though alone, fought like an army.

Leo's cavalry became expendable.

"call!"

Xia Chuan let out a soft breath under the Delta mask.

The level 3 Ultra psychic power was still quite lacking, and he felt tired even after just a short while.

Delta may say he's the strongest, but that's far from enough for him.

While the other characters were guided into battle by Delta, Delta struggled to keep up with him.

Fortunately, after the first wave of attacks, he had already taken control of the situation.

Now, it's his turn.

Xia Chuan drew the Delta gun from his waist.

The telekinetic energy was converted into a deterrent force through the Delta, forcing back the surrounding Leo cavalry while the weapon mode was quickly switched in sync with the voice commands.

"Fire!"

"Burst Mode!" Rapid-fire mode.

"Bang bang bang!"

The bullets kept firing at the Leo cavalry who were charging forward, and the few who dared to get close were knocked down by Xia Chuan's casual punches.

Sidestep, knee strike, elbow strike...

Xia Chuan strode towards the Lucky Clover group who were watching the show from the outside.

Later on, no more enemies were knocked away. Any Leo cavalrymen who got close either had their arms and legs broken or were forced to their heads and slammed into the hard ground, their bodies twisted and grotesque, leaving behind a trail of explosions.

"Bang--!"

After finally stomping one of Leo's cavalrymen into the ground, Xia Chuan found himself in a completely empty space, with no more Leo cavalrymen blocking his way.

The entire arena was empty except for a large area around Xia Chuan, and the Leo cavalry followed behind, not daring to approach any closer.

The jubilation among the Orphnoch community outside the area also came to an abrupt end.

The entire city fell into an eerie silence.

Even humans were caught off guard and didn't react for a moment.

"Is that knight on our side?"

"They joined yesterday..."

"Oh~?"

The disheveled man, Kitasaki, perked up at the scene, glancing at the struggling cavalrymen behind Natsukawa, his eyebrows twitching repeatedly.

"Wow, this looks really interesting. How about I play with this belt?"

"Kaminaga!"

Murakami Kohei and the mature woman beside him did not follow Kitasaki forward. The knight's mask made his face tremble, and the bespectacled man who had finally run back could not withstand the pressure and screamed and ran away again.

After experiencing the Delta deterrent, people seem more prone to panic and mental breakdown.

"Think about it!"

The mature woman cried out, but she couldn't care less about the bespectacled man who was running away.

This time, she also clearly felt the pressure and had the same thought of retreating, but she didn't make a move because Kitasaki was still there.

"What are you thinking?" the mature woman asked Murakami Kohei with a frown, her composure maintained. "Why would you give this belt to a human?"

"I didn't give it to you!"

Murakami Kohei stared straight at Kitasaki's figure.

The strongest Orphnoch...

It's not over yet!
