Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 165 Preparation

"Bang--!"

Explosions echoed through the streets of Tokyo, vehicles collided, and order was quickly thrown into chaos.

Xia Chuan looked down from his vantage point but could not find the Orphnoch King who had caused the chaos.

The commotion caused by openly hunting for food is much greater than in the TV series "555". It seems that the King of Orphnoch is truly about to fully awaken this time.

There's nothing we can do about it.

He has spent a lot of effort searching for the King of Orphnoch, but he has just been unlucky.

"Charge in!"

"what!"

Another commotion arose downstairs; it was the group of knights from this world who had come looking for them, seemingly wanting to use the headquarters of the AI ​​Corporation as a breakthrough point.

Of course, it's also possible that they wanted to rack up some boss-level points before quitting.

Most of the Orphnochs in this world are ordinary monsters; it's extremely difficult to find high-level native species outside.

Natsukawa turned his gaze to Kiba Yuji, who was also observing the chaos.

The reason this guy became the protagonist and was recruited by the AI ​​company time and time again is because of the special nature of the native species.

Originally, he should have been the boss second only to the King of Orphnoch...

"What do we do now?" Kaidou Naoya rubbed his face, still shaken.

Because he was the first to run out, he happened to witness the Orphnoch king hunting.

Numerous glowing tentacles enveloped the city, and it was unknown how many Orphnochs had been abducted.

Having just been eaten by a giant rhinoceros, he was trembling all over, as if he could hear the gnawing sound again.

Those Orphnochs who were captured obviously did not fare well.

"If you don't mind, come with me," Xia Chuan invited. "I'm going to a survivor camp, and the people there shouldn't mind if you come."

Human beings are a complex species.

There are plenty of scumbags out there.

These guys were forced to come here to their deaths, and the survivors behind them are clearly not good people. If they go back, who knows what might happen next.

We can't let the rescue go unrewarded.

It's a good opportunity to find some helpers for Sonoda Mari.

"Where are you going?" Yuji Kiba asked curiously.

"Outside the city," Xia Chuan said, looking at the escalating Orphnoch riots, "we'll also send a bunch of kids out there."

The AI ​​company is currently too busy to manage the situation, and things will only get worse in the city.

It would be a disaster for the survivors to remain in the city.

Yuji Kiba wasn't stupid either, and quickly realized: "Can we meet up in the suburbs? I want to notify the other survivors in the city to leave first."

"They might not listen to you."

Small temples have strong demons, shallow ponds have many turtles; in this kind of apocalyptic world, there are all sorts of strange things to see.

If it weren't for the AI ​​company's laissez-faire attitude, most people in the city where Orphino lives wouldn't have survived to this day.

"I'm just reminding them; whether they listen or not is their business."

Kiba Yuji took it all in stride, nodding as he spoke to Kaidou and the other person beside him.

"You all go out with Mr. Kaminaga. I can handle things here on my own."

One excruciating pain was enough; he really didn't want to harm his two companions again.

"Let's go."

Xia Chuan did not waste any time.

The decisive battle is about to begin, and he needs to make preparations as soon as possible.

This instance is different from the previous ones; it's too intertwined with the main world, so it's best to distance yourself from it beforehand.

If it were someone with Fujiwara's chuunibyou personality, he might be eager to clear the dungeon and save the world in front of everyone.

He was different.

He has long been a globally recognized hero, experiencing highs and lows, adoration and indifference... he has gone through it all.

Whether one is recognized or receives the honor one deserves is meaningless.

Outsiders' opinions are too abstract; what matters is getting tangible benefits.

Whether now or in the future, he will not easily step into the limelight again.

"call!"

Xia Chuan conjured a dark Kiva card in his hand and subtly tossed it into the arena behind him.

Safety.

"Mr. Kaminaga," Naoya and Rikka looked at Natsukawa curiously, "you must also be an Orphnoch, right?"

"no."

"No, it's not?!"

Kaidou Naoya's smile froze.

"Mr. Kaminaga, you must be joking. Even if ordinary people could transform, it wouldn't be that exaggerated!"

Yuka Nagata nodded repeatedly.

She is a native Orphnoch and has personally experienced the terror of giant rhinoceroses, so it's hard to imagine that an ordinary human could fight like Xia Chuan.

and.

Even without transforming, she could vaguely sense a threat from Xia Chuan.

It seems that Xia Chuan can defeat her without transforming.

A look of admiration shone in Nagata Yuka's eyes.

"Why don't you become the new president of the AI ​​Corporation, Mr. Kaminaga? If it were Mr. Kaminaga, he should be able to deal with the King of the Orphnochs!"

Xia Chuan glanced at the two of them but did not respond further.

Is this flattery or ingratiation?

I felt absolutely nothing at that level.

They only think he's powerful because the other two are too weak.

"tutor!"

There were no major incidents along the way, and soon Natsukawa met Ogami Takumi, who had stayed behind.

Despite not knowing what had happened, Onoue Takumi remained very alert, keeping watch from the outside. When he saw Kaido Naoya behind Natsukawa, he tensed up.

"They are..."

"Not an enemy."

After a brief explanation, Natsukawa instructed Onoue to notify the survivors to evacuate.

Because of the changes at the AI ​​company, all the Orphnochs in this area have left, leaving only a few sentries. This is the best opportunity to leave Tokyo.

The adults in the camp were relatively obedient and quickly packed their things to move with Xia Chuan and the others.

The journey went smoothly until the end, and Qiao was starting to have doubts about life. He even saw a few Orphnochs leaving the city in groups, looking like refugees fleeing a disaster.

"Master," Takumi Onoue finally couldn't help but ask after passing the final checkpoint, "What happened in Tokyo? Weren't you supposed to be going to see the King of the Orphnochs?"

"The King of the Orphnochs has appeared ahead of schedule," Natsukawa said, watching the Orphnochs disappear into the distance. "The next step is to defeat the King of the Orphnochs to clear the game. What are your plans?"

Onoue Takumi turned to look at the somewhat apprehensive children beside him, then turned his gaze to the Tokyo city area.

"After settling everyone in, I'll go back. If that king can really turn humans into Orphnochs, then there will be no hope for the future. Before leaving this world, I want to do my part as much as I can."

It was already evening when they found Sonoda Mari again. The camp had been moved to an abandoned factory. They only managed to avoid missing her because they ran into the patrolling soldiers who had stayed outside the original amusement park.

That evening, the amusement park camp reopened, and two groups of survivors gathered there.

Surprisingly, Yuji Kiba never arrived.

"That Kiba guy," Kaidou Naoya clenched his fist in frustration, "he must be thinking of taking on the King of the Orphnochs all by himself. Does he really underestimate us that much?"

"He doesn't want you to die again. I'll go see him tomorrow, and you'll help protect this camp."

After settling the anxious Kaido Naoya and the other person, Natsukawa carefully sensed the Fang Bat II on the other side.

The clone knight couldn't stray too far from the main body; it only briefly appeared before the other knights in this world before transforming into Fang Bat II and going into hiding.

If anything unusual happens, the Second King will send back some simple information.

There's no movement, which means there's no need to worry about that side yet.

"Um?"

Noticing that Takumi Onoue had quietly ridden a motorcycle towards the city on the other side, Natsukawa's eyes flickered slightly.

Could this guy be planning to go to the final battle alone?
