Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 161 Two Faiz

Early the next morning.

Before dawn, Sonoda Mari avoided the other survivors and took Natsukawa and the other person alone to a junkyard near the amusement park.

"Miss Mari," Natsukawa asked from behind, "Was Inui Takumi really killed too?"

He still found it unbelievable.

No matter what, Inui Takumi is the protagonist of this world, so it would be too easy for him to die like this.

"Found it!"

Sonoda Mari rummaged through the room and found a silver Smart Brain Corporation briefcase. After opening it and checking that the Faiz belt kit inside was intact, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned around.

"Ah Qiao was surrounded by Leo's cavalry while covering me, and ended up falling into the river. Only I survived. I thought Ah Qiao had returned, but..."

After glancing at the bewildered Onoue Takumi behind her, Sonoda Mari handed the suitcase to Natsukawa with a relieved expression.

"I've been fantasizing that A-Qiao will come back all this time, but it's just wishful thinking. Hiding here won't get me anywhere."

"Is this the Faiz belt?" Before Natsukawa could speak, Onoue Takumi's eyes widened.

Just like his belt system.

"Mr. Natsukawa, you're going to Tokyo, right?" Sonoda Mari said with a strong smile. "It would be better to give this belt to Mr. Natsukawa. Perhaps Mr. Natsukawa will become the true savior."

Is there really any hope for this world?

Xia Chuan took the belt and briefcase and secretly shook his head.

At this point, it's no longer a problem that the Knight System can solve.

Faiz doesn't have the power to change the world either.

However, he could disrupt the current situation.

The seemingly prosperous Orphnoch world is actually riddled with flaws, and the method of attacking humans and turning them into Orphnochs is inherently unreliable.

Only a few can become Orphnoch.

Who in their right mind would want everyone around them to die, and for them to become an Orphnoch?

The hatred had accumulated for a long time, and the AI ​​Corporation maintained order through force and high pressure, but even the slightest problem could easily cause a backlash.

Saving the world is out of the question, but if we eliminate the AI ​​Corporation, there is still a sliver of hope for a future where humanity and the Orphnoch can coexist peacefully.

"Buzz!"

A series of motorcycle engine noises suddenly rang out outside the junkyard. In the distance, a small patrol squad of Leo cavalry could be seen rushing along the field path, ignoring the survivor camp on the other side and heading straight for the junkyard.

"It seems like they're coming for us," Natsukawa said, taking out his Faiz belt and fastening it around his waist. He gestured for Sonoda Mari to leave. "We'll deal with these Leo cavalry, but if it happens once, it'll happen again. You'd better find another place."

"Standing By!"

At the same time, two standby beeps sounded. Natsukawa operated in almost the exact same way as Onoue Takumi, inputting the command and inserting the core phone into his belt to close it.

"Transform!"

"Complete!"

Red energy channels formed glowing circuits, and two Faiz armor figures simultaneously materialized on the left and right. However, compared to Onoue Takumi, Natsukawa's transformed Faiz had an additional digital watch on his wrist for acceleration.

"Huh?" Onoue Takumi paused, then belatedly pointed at Natsukawa, "Mentor... how come you can transform too?"

"Don't forget I've been here before."

Xia Chuan patted Ooue Takumi on the shoulder and took the lead in greeting the numerous Leo cavalrymen who drove into the junkyard.

It's hard to keep things from Takumi Onoue in the dark, especially since he'll be dealing with the AI ​​Corporation and the King of Orphnoch. He probably won't earn many points with just the Extreme Fox, so there's no need to hide the transformation.

As long as you don't bring it to this world, there won't be any problem.

"Can you keep this a secret?"

"call!"

As the morning light illuminated the junkyard, Xia Chuanfaiz's energy channels glowed brightly red, as if one could see the photon blood flowing within them. His pair of crescent-shaped yellow eyes surveyed the approaching Leo cavalry.

They're both Faiz, but the feelings they evoke are completely different.

Beneath the mask, Onoue Takumi stared blankly. Just as he came to his senses and was about to nod in response, Natsukawa Faiz had already dashed out ahead of him.

"Bang!"

After sweeping down one of the Leo cavalrymen chasing Sonoda Mari, Natsukawa bent down to install the Faiz cursor, which resembled a flashlight on his right leg, while gently pressing the watch switch.

"Complete!"

The transformation sound effect rang out again. As the photon blood was transmitted, Xia Chuan's chest armor unfolded and moved upwards to both sides, revealing the core structure inside that emitted a yellow light. The photon blood turned silver, and the knight's eyes also turned bright red.

Faiz Hyper Acceleration Form.

"Start Up!"

After glancing at the numerous Leo cavalrymen around him, Xia Chuan Faiz vanished in a flash, and the next moment, streaks of deep red cone-shaped energy locked onto all targets present.

"This is……"

Clever fingers grip the tail tightly.

Despite not being able to see Xia Chuan, the entire Leo cavalry exploded, and not a single one was able to escape the attack.

It's amazing that it can unleash so many special attacks at the same time.

"Bang bang bang!"

The explosions and flames illuminated the junkyard, and even the Leo cavalrymen who were still outside were blown up in the process.

"3, 2, 1..."

"Time Out!"

Knight Natsukawa reappeared amidst the fiery explosion, and after the countdown ended, the armored form automatically reverted to normal mode.

"Mentor, your fusion coefficient..." Onoue Takumi deactivated his transformation. "Is my mentor a Level 4... Level 5 Knight?"

"This mode should be able to be activated with a fusion coefficient of 80."

Natsukawa removed the Faiz belt but did not answer directly.

A level 5 physique corresponds to a level 5 knight, allowing him to use this belt perfectly.

The acceleration time doesn't seem to be limited to the system-set 10 seconds.

However, 10 seconds is enough for him, and there is no need to risk increasing the time.

Ooue Takumi took a deep breath and came back to his senses. Looking at Natsukawa's back, he realized that he had never really known Natsukawa before.

I vaguely sensed an indescribable loneliness and struggle.

The battle just now was definitely not the first time, nor was it something that happened only once or twice.

Perhaps all along, Xia Chuan has been bearing a heavy burden that no one knows about.

Even though he is no longer Ultraman, he still silently protects humanity.

"tutor."

With a serious expression, Onoue Takumi did not delve into Natsukawa's secrets, but simply walked to Natsukawa's side as if he had made up his mind.

"No matter what your reasons are, no matter why you're hiding it... I will always stand by your side."

"It's not that exaggerated."

Natsukawa gave Onoue Takumi a strange look.

"Next, let's find the other survivors and find the King of Orphnoch as soon as possible."

Although the chances of other knights getting there first are slim, he still wants to hold the key to this timeline in his own hands.

"The King of the Orphnochs?"

"We'll talk about it on the way..."

"Bang!"

Just then, a loud bang came from the pile of scrap next to them, and a flying robot suddenly rushed out and landed in front of Xia Chuan as if recognizing its master.

Faiz's exclusive transformable motorcycle is intelligent and has two modes: vehicle mode and combat mode, which can assist in battle.

"Perfect, no need to find another car to get there."

Xia Chuan pressed the robot's transformation switch, and after switching to motorcycle mode, he rode it first.

It's not as comfortable as the Golem motorcycles, but you have to make do in a place like this.

Only one chapter today, I'll finish this part of the story tomorrow.
