Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 166 The Final Battle Against World Destruction

Tokyo.

Headquarters of SmartBrain Company.

Half a day had passed since the knights of this world stormed in, but they had not only gained nothing, but had also attracted a large number of Leo cavalry to surround them.

It was completely different from what I had expected.

It was as if they had fallen into an empty city trap. Inside the headquarters of the AI ​​company, they encountered almost no decent counterattacks, and didn't even meet a single high-level Orphnoch.

at last.

The group eventually arrived at the Brainpower Company's arena, where the battle had taken place.

"It seems it really is Dark Kiva; he had already cleared this place beforehand."

"Strange, did Dark Kiva come in this time?"

"Perhaps there are other entrances, after all, he's a level 5 knight..."

Fujiwara no Ichi didn't mingle with the others; he left immediately after a brief stay.

This time, entering the dungeon didn't go smoothly from the start.

Not only were they being chased by level 5 knights, but when they finally found a breakthrough, they were eliminated before they could.

Now, even the King of Orphnoch has appeared.

It feels like we've done nothing, and we're already facing the "final boss battle" while we're still gathering information.

"Did you find it?"

Another group of level 4 knights gathered together and shared information with each other.

"There is an underground research lab down there, which has already been visited by someone beforehand, and only some scraps of data were found."

"I found some information about the King of Orphnoch on the president's computer. If the description is correct, we might not be a match for that guy at all."

"This world is doomed..."

"What's it to us?"

"Now we don't need to think about clearing the game anymore. Everyone should try to collect as many useful items as possible. These belt development data are quite valuable in our world."

"Forget it, I'll just kill more Orphnochs to earn more points."

……

Suburbs.

Xia Chuan sat high on the half-collapsed roller coaster frame, quietly watching the bustling scene below for a while before turning his gaze to the distant city.

This would allow them to clearly sense the presence of the King of Orphnoch.

Perhaps because of his complete awakening, the King of Orphnoch no longer concealed himself, and shone and released his power like the sun.

He retracted his original opinion.

This King of Orphnoch doesn't seem particularly weak.

"call!"

Xia Chuan landed with a leap, the ground beneath his feet caved in, but he didn't make a loud noise.

After glancing at the figure of an Orphnoch hidden behind him, Xia Chuan got on his motorcycle and rode straight out of the camp before alerting the others.

"Mr. Natsukawa..."

Orphino walked to the roadside, transformed back into Kimura Saya's human form, and watched Natsukawa disappear into the night.

Upon discovering the sudden appearance of a large number of unknown knights, she realized that Xia Chuan truly came from another world and would likely disappear again soon.

"Buzz—!"

Xia Chuan sped along the road, only changing his clothes and sneaking into the city on foot before entering.

The chaos in the city had subsided and order was gradually restored, with Leo's cavalry occasionally appearing.

Has BrainPower not completely collapsed yet?

After observing from the shadows for a while, Xia Chuan randomly found an abandoned house to hide in.

After causing a brief period of panic, the King of the Orphnochs seemed to become a new hope. Only a small group that refused to accept the identity of the Orphnochs left in time, while the rest began to prepare for the arrival of the King.

It's unclear whether it's because they might gain "immortality" or because their humanity has been devoured by the power of the Orphnoch.

It seems that simply dismantling the AI ​​company is not enough.

The root of the problem lies with the King of the Orphnochs.

Natsukawa continued to look through the curtains at the groups of Orphnochs passing by on the street below.

It looks like they're heading towards the Brainpower Company building.

A fierce battle is expected soon, but it's unclear what the knights of this world are planning.

"Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, a chaotic explosion came from afar, and the figures of the knights of this world retreating could be vaguely seen.

These people did not choose to sit and wait for their deaths, but instead attempted to break out in advance.

At least they haven't given up yet.

"what?"

A familiar figure unexpectedly caught Xia Chuan's attention.

Under the streetlights, Yuji Kiba blended into the crowd like an ordinary Orphnoch.

Is this a trip to meet the King of Orphnoch?

Xia Chuan abandoned the idea of ​​resting, and the Kuuga belt appeared at his waist. After transforming into a blue dragon form with a burst of blue light, he left the room and then jumped along the street and rooftops. In a few flashes, he ran to the front of Orphnoch below.

"Did something just pass by?"

One of the patrolling Leo cavalrymen looked up in confusion.

The teammate next to him looked around and said, "There's nothing here. Those human knights would rather die than run away."

"Haha, that's right, the king is invincible!"

"Soon we'll be able to become real Orphnochs!"

Yuji Kiba lowered his head slightly in the crowd, broke away from the group as he turned a corner, then his face darkened, he quickly transformed into a horse-type Orphnoch, and roared as he slashed at one of the lone Leo cavalrymen.

"Bang!"

Before the other cavalry could react, Kiba Yuji hurriedly dragged the burning, ashes-covered corpse into the shadows, and when he reappeared, he had become the same Leo cavalryman.

Headquarters of SmartBrain Company.

After changing hands several times, the building was once again occupied by the Orphnochs, but the AI ​​company was a thing of the past, and the awakened King of the Orphnochs became the absolute ruler.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

At the exit of the building, former surviving Clover member Saeko Kageyama narrowed her eyes and stopped the furtive Isamu Kondo.

"Is he planning to run away again?"

"I……"

Kondo Isami looked at the mature woman in front of him, feeling helpless and unable to express his grievances.

Not only were they inexplicably mistaken for Orphnochs, but their one-time shuttle was also destroyed, leaving them unable to escape.

Xiao Nan really ruined my life.

Who would have thought that the girl they picked up by chance would be the King of the Orphnoch?

"What are you afraid of?"

As Kageyama Saeko approached, she brushed her fingers across Kondo Isami's cheek and exhaled softly.

"Don't worry, there's no danger anymore. Soon we'll receive the King's blessing and fully evolve, all thanks to you!"

Kondo Isami tensed up, showing no fantasies about the alluring body so close to him.

He had no idea who it was.

If we're exposed, we're doomed.

"Poor child, Delta is long gone, no one will hurt you," Saeko Kageyama said, putting her arm around Isami Kondo as they walked back. "Come on, once you complete the final evolution, you'll never be afraid again."

"call!"

After entering the building, Yuji Kiba saw Saeko Kageyama and the other person. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and continued to follow.

It's the same arena as before.

The King of Orphnoch has completely transformed into the Locust Orphnoch form, hovering in mid-air, with countless glowing tentacles piercing into the bodies of the Orphnoch below.

One after another, phantom images of former high-ranking executives of the original AI company struggled in agony.

"Spare me..."

"snort!"

The locust waved its hand and retracted its light whip, then landed in the stands as all the Orphnoch beneath it turned to ash and disappeared.

Saeko Kageyama entered with Isami Kondo, her expression completely unchanged.

"The king is executing the traitors; next, he will give us new life."

Kondo Isami shuddered again.

Although he had never met Takuma, his timid behavior was just right and did not arouse Saeko Kageyama's suspicion.

"Think about it," Saeko Kageyama said with a playful smile, "You'll be the first to receive the King's favor, don't rush."

Kondo Isami's face turned even paler.

Help!

At this moment, the young man in shorts, who was suited to be the Heavenly Emperor, walked onto the stands, placed the Earthly Emperor's belt in front of the locusts, and then bowed his head and retreated.

Also based on the Delta's powerful belt, the Earth Emperor's belt is even more powerful.

Yuji Kiba, hiding outside the door, stared intently at the Emperor's belt on the stands.

A belt prepared for the King of Orphnoch.

If I could get my hands on it...

"Whoosh!"

Natsukawa pressed down on the shoulder of Kiba Yuji, who was smitten.

"Mr. Kaminari?"

"Who goes there?!"

The young man in the arena shorts turned around sharply and rushed out the door, only to find that Xia Chuan and the other man had already disappeared.

"Leo," Saeko Kageyama said, "it seems you haven't done your job properly. How long are you going to keep those knights of unknown origin? Kill them all already!"

The young man in shorts glanced coldly at Saeko Kageyama, then fastened his Emperor's Belt and left the arena with a murderous look on his face.

"What an unlovable guy."

Saeko Kageyama, bored, withdrew her gaze and bowed her head in submission to the locust Orphnoch in the stands.

"My king, please rest assured, no one can stop you now."

The locust stared silently at the doorway.

Despite awakening in its strongest form, it still exudes a terrifying and dangerous aura.

Especially just now.

There is also something that can threaten him.

"call!"

While pondering, the locust suddenly lashed out with a beam of light, aiming at Saeko Kageyama. However, unlike before when it absorbed energy, this time it was the power of the King of Orphnoch that was transferred back to her.

Saeko Kageyama let out a comfortable cry, opened her chest, and completely transformed into the lobster Orphnoch. Her human form, including the naked phantom that appeared on the ground, completely collapsed and disappeared.

"I feel it! This is the true power of the Orphnoch King! I will never die again! Hahaha!"

"what!"

Kondo Isami watched in horror as the locusts turned towards him. Finally, unable to control his panic, he screamed and ran out of the arena.

"Help!"

"Humans..."

The locust withdrew its light whip, did not pursue Kondo Isami, but turned around and put on the Earth Emperor's Belt.

"Transform!"

"Complete!"

A figure of a black-armored knight materialized as golden energy circulated.

Kamen Rider Oga, the Emperor of the Earth.

The sheer power emanating from her attire was incredibly oppressive, causing Saeko Kageyama, who had just completed her evolution, to lose her smile and kneel down, trembling slightly.

Its deterrent power has far surpassed that of Delta in its early days.

This is the true emperor.

……

Near the headquarters building of the AI.

After the white figure of the Heavenly Emperor flew away, Yuji Kiba turned back to look at Natsukawa with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Kaminaga, what are you doing here?"

Your two companions are very worried about you.

Xia Chuan calmly watched the Leo cavalry marching hurriedly outside.

"Go back. The battle that follows has nothing to do with you."

"Is it related to Mr. Kaminaga?"

Yuji Kiba opened his mouth and looked directly at him.

"Mr. Kaminaga is not actually a human from this world, is he? When I saw those unfamiliar knights, I thought of something. Even Mr. Kaminaga is willing to risk his life to protect the humans of this world, so how can I stand aside?"

"I don't care about what happened before, at least now I really want to do something..."

"We are different."

Xia Chuan interrupted.

"If you really want to do something, go back to the human camp; that's where you should be."

"Bang! Bang!"

Explosions echoed through the darkness outside, and several hidden knights from this world were discovered and forced to flee once more.

This time, in addition to the Kamen Riders from the "Gaim" series, several other Kamen Riders from the Showa era entered the instance, causing quite a stir.

Seemingly intending to rack up one last few points, a group of knights went all out to wreak havoc, but after getting into trouble, they all used disposable shuttles to return.

The effect was the same as when Xia Chuan left the instance; he vanished in a flash of light, leaving only the Heavenly Emperor roaring helplessly as he chased after him.

"Bang--!"

As dawn broke, the unrest in Tokyo finally subsided.

Most of the knights who caused the chaos left, and those who remained were almost all level 4 knights.

As the morning light shone down, the Leo cavalry began to assemble, their target the humans in the suburbs.

A squad of level 4 knights finally couldn't hold back any longer and launched a counterattack, storming into the sparsely manned AI company building.

"This is our last chance!"

"Even if we can't beat the game, we can't retreat without a fight!"

"Take cover!"

"I'll withdraw once I've tested the power of the King of Orphnoch..."

After Natsukawa and Kiba Yuji separated, Natsukawa hid and observed alone.

These knights are quite adaptable; they've already adopted a player's mentality.

It's actually a bit scary to think about. What exactly is behind this power that gamifies real time and space?

Do those aliens have this ability?

"It's about time to end this."

Xia Chuan turned and left the scene. With a wave of his hand, the second generation of the toothed bat flew over, opened its mouth and bit down with a deep shout.

"bite!"

"Gaburi!"

As the power of the Demon Emperor entered, circles of dark light spread, the mirror shattered, and Xia Chuan's figure transformed into the dark Kiva with a clang.

"Have you finally made up your mind, Shin'en? Let the destruction begin! The dark history begins now!"

"Snapped!"

Xia Chuan reached out and pressed down on the second Fang Bat, who was growling.

"Wait a little longer."

Dark Kiva possesses extremely dangerous world-destroying abilities; his third ultimate move is a near-mutually destructive technique.

Of course, the claim of it being the end of the world might be a slight exaggeration, but its power would certainly be considerable.

The destructive power is also determined by the wearer.

This is also why he likes the Dark Kiva suit.

Now that his physique has reached level 5, Dark Kiva can unleash even greater power in his hands.

This will end the Orphnoch history of this world.

"Bang bang bang!"

At the same time, all the knights of this world were sent flying out of the arena screaming, and before they could even see the Orphnoch's true form, they were all knocked out of their transformations.

"not good!"

"Retreat now!"

The Black-Armored Earth Emperor stepped out of the broken wall and looked down at the many knights who had disappeared on the ground amidst the falling debris.

"Now there will be no more obstacles," the lobster Orphnoch said, stepping forward from behind. "My King, let this world become entirely the world of the Orphnochs!"

"Humans remain a threat."

The King of Orphnoch's voice was aged; despite having reached the pinnacle of his power, he still felt a lingering unease in his heart.

I always feel like there's a gaze constantly fixed on me.

City exit.

As Takumi swallowed hard and watched the massive Leo cavalry army surge forward, he felt as if he were fighting against the entire world.

How do we fight this?

Let alone him, who has just become a level 3 knight, even if his mentor came, he would be powerless to help, right?

"Give you a shot!"

The Heavenly Emperor landed in his jet-powered flying vehicle, waved to stop the Leo cavalry legion surrounding Tail-Up Takumi, and then chuckled and beckoned with his finger.

"I will kill you!"

"asshole!"

The tail was brimming with fire.

This guy acted the same way when he wiped out a human survivor camp right in front of him.

He couldn't activate the speed-up mode before, but it's different now.

"Complete!"

"Start Up!"

After switching the core phone to accelerated mode, the battle scene of Natsukawa flashed through Onoue's mind, and he also pressed the watch button to accelerate.

10-second countdown begins.

Trying to deliver a fatal blow, the cursor struggles to lock onto the rapidly moving Heavenly Emperor. Just as you rush in to attack, you see the Heavenly Emperor being launched into the air.

So what if you can fly?

After a moment's hesitation, Taira no Takumi leaped off the ground and quickly caught up with the soaring Heavenly Emperor.

"3, 2, 1..."

"Time Out!"

What?

The countdown suddenly ended, giving Onoue Takumi almost no time to react. The next moment, it was as if he had been delivered to the door, and he could only watch helplessly as the Heavenly Emperor's attack fell.

"Bang--!"

A lingering shadow of a full moon appeared, then tumbled and landed gracefully. The expected severe damage did not occur; instead, the Heavenly Emperor's figure exploded in mid-air.

"call!"

As the flames and dust dissipated, the silhouette of Kiva, draped in a dark cloak, came into view.

How did a knight end up in second place on the list?!

They shouldn't be on the list for this operation.

"you……"

Takumi Ogami got up in confusion, wanting to ask a question, but found that the one-time shuttle had been triggered at some point.

In the final instant the light disappeared, all that could be seen was the dark Kiva walking towards the Leo cavalry charging from all directions, while the black-armored knight who seemed to be the King of Orphnoch also stepped out from the opposite side.

"Wake Up 3!"

Xia Chuan pressed the whistle on his belt, and the third awakening whistle sounded amidst the shouts of Fang Bat II.

An invisible wave spread and covered thousands of charging Leo cavalry, and the Orphnoch King, who appeared accompanied by the Orphnoch Kageyama Saeko, also stopped in his tracks.

"This is……"

"not good!"

Fujiwara no Ichi, who was still lying in wait in the rear, changed his expression drastically. Without regard for anything else, he quickly chose to return.

Yuji Kiba, who had just returned to the campsite in the suburbs, turned around in astonishment.

A blood-red moon had somehow enveloped the entire city of Orphnoch.
