Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 168 The Next Kabuto

Tokyo is quiet and peaceful under the night sky.

The recent dungeon turmoil doesn't seem to have affected real life; it's as if we've returned to the peaceful times of the past, and even news of the Green Thorn Monster has stopped spreading.

If it weren't for the fact that we could still see news about the Cavaliers, we would almost think it was an ordinary world.

But everyone understands.

The crisis in this world has never disappeared.

The Amazon incident led to the lockdown of the entire city, and the situation has not calmed down for months.

In the Mirror World a few days ago, many people also disappeared without a trace, and who knows what other terrible activities are taking place in the shadows.

Three years have passed, and Earth is still at the beginning of the Knight Era. Before the final era of universal knights arrives, similar chaos is foreseeable to occur frequently.

As for the trial day 10 years later, only a few people know about it.

The alien alliance may know something, but seems completely indifferent.

"call!"

Late at night on a city street, a truck driver stopped at a gas station, yawned, and got out to check his cargo.

Just as I was about to refuel and buy some energy drinks, I suddenly heard a strange noise behind me.

Looking back, the streetlights were still bright, and only an empty, deflated soda can was rolling around.

Who littered?

The truck driver grumbled a few curses, and his drowsiness lessened considerably.

Where are they?

The truck driver couldn't see a single person in the gas station. Even though it was brightly lit, he felt uneasy and his heart was pounding.

Monsters really exist in this world; it's not a hoax.

"Sorry to bother you..."

As a chilly breeze swept down his neck, the truck driver hurriedly left the gas station, panting as he returned to his truck. While wiping away sweat, he completely failed to notice the other "truck driver" in the passenger seat, whose face was exactly the same as his own, and who was also pale.

"save……"

"Bang!"

Xia Chuanlong appeared, rushed out of the mirror world and landed next to the truck. Before he could check the situation, he heard the sound of wind behind him.

alien insects?

In the world of Kabuto, there is an alien creature that arrives on Earth via a meteorite. In its larval stage, it is a green-skinned monster at the level of a low-level soldier.

It possesses a robust outer shell with outstanding defense and can mimic a human, easily replicating everything from memories to abilities.

Although it is weak in itself, it can immediately complete the metamorphosis after molting into an adult insect.

Not only does its strength increase significantly, but it also gains the unique Time-Up ability of the Kabuto type.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan dodged the white, sticky spider silk that came with the wind, and calmly turned to face the red spider monster that sprang out of the darkness, surrounded by the Peerless Dragon.

Wow, that was fast.

It has already molted into an adult insect.

"roar!"

The Peerless Dragon roared and charged spontaneously toward the appearing Red Spider Insect, flames gathering in its mouth, but it still missed.

The alien insect, having flashed into its ascended state, vanished instantly, seemingly invisible as it bypassed the Peerless Dragon and continued its attack on Xia Chuan.

When dealing with time-sensitive technology, the most troublesome issues are not only the inability to keep up with speed, but also the inability to react effectively, which renders the entire system useless.

These two points happen to be Natsukawa's strengths.

His advanced Ultra Telekinesis, honed through several upgrades, allows him to easily detect the movements of the Zerg, and his speed has further increased after binding with Faiz.

At least this spider-like insect's time-lapse hasn't exceeded Natsukawa's limit.

call!

Xia Chuan slowed his breathing and stopped dodging until the spider-like insect rushed close before finally throwing a punch.

The sudden counterattack was completely unexpected by the spider-like insects.

Despite the world being a supersonic world where time seems to have slowed down, Xia Chuan's reaction speed was not slow at all, as if he had instantly come to life from a static statue.

"Bang--!"

Unable to stop its momentum, the spider-like insect crashed into the dragon rider's iron fist, revealing its form with a scream.

The Peerless Dragon had been waiting patiently behind them, taking advantage of the situation, and unleashed a golden fireball that swallowed the spider-like insects that were flying backward.

They have almost no ability to resist.

The spider-like insect exploded and disappeared instantly, its scream abruptly cut short.

"roar--!!"

Having completed its ultimate attack, the Peerless Dragon roared and returned to Xia Chuan's side.

However, Xia Chuan did not end the battle. He quietly watched the explosion and flames spread, then turned his head to scan the afterimage that flashed in the darkness.

It's the rule of the world again.

The monsters outside the instance space-time are difficult to kill by other means, as if they are protected by the corresponding knight world, and will only return to normal after the key boss is defeated.

The only ones in this world capable of completely eliminating these guys right now are probably the Kabuto-type Knights.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan removed the Ryuki card and deactivated his transformation, then looked at the driver's seat of the truck by the light of the street lamp.

The truck driver was entangled in sticky spider silk, as if he had been digested by stomach acid, and had lost all signs of life.

spider……

It seems like you encounter spider-like monsters particularly easily.

Xia Chuan glanced sympathetically at the murdered driver, then turned to leave without thinking too much about it.

What he cares about is this world, and human civilization.

This does not mean that everyone should be protected.

Even God doesn't have that ability.

"You are the knight of this world, aren't you?"

Suddenly, a scrutinizing gaze fell upon Xia Chuan, and a red knight figure walked towards him through the reflection in the mirror.

"I can feel that this is your world."

"Kakuto?"

Xia Chuan looked at the knight who emerged from the darkness with a puzzled expression.

Kamen Rider Kabuto.

However, he was not the first Fujiwara.

"You are... Tendou Souji?"

Unlike the feeling he had with Fujiwara Daiichi, the Kabuto in front of him exuded an extraordinary aura. Even in his ordinary standing posture, he was flawless, and the sense of oppression he felt was far beyond what Fujiwara Daiichi could match.

A true Kabuto that surpasses the limits of level 5.

Tendou Souji is the absolute protagonist in the Kabuto universe who uses his own abilities to make Kabuto the strongest Kabuto Rider.

only……

How did Kabuto from the alternate dimension end up in this world?

"You really are special."

Kabuto glanced at Natsukawa, who recognized him, with surprise.

"I'm out of time. You're the only one I can trust right now. Please do me a favor, as a way of repaying you..."

"Whoosh!"

A dark shadow suddenly flapped its wings and flew out, only to be caught in Xia Chuan's hand. The light reflected off it, revealing the shape of a Kabuto insect.

When I looked at Kabuto again, only glimmers of light flickered and faded in the darkness.

The silhouette of a smiling, long-haired young man can be vaguely seen.

"This is up to you. It should be able to help you, if you really are a Kamen Rider..."

"What a strange person."

Xia Chuan glanced at the slightly vibrating Kabuto insect device in his hand, paused, and then stepped forward to pick up the knight's belt left behind by the young man.

"They didn't say what kind of help they wanted."

"Don't worry," Kabuto Insect Instrument suddenly spoke up, "I know what's going on, but before that, you need to get my approval first. Not just anyone can become Kabuto like Tendou!"

It can talk?

Xia Chuan almost didn't react.

It's true that beetle-type insects have self-awareness, but he never expected them to be able to speak.

This situation doesn't exist with the Fujiwara brothers.

"What's so strange about that? I'm different!"

The beetle insect instrument makes a lively sound.

"Now let me teach you how to become the Heavenly Dao, since I like this self-centered type the most."

"..."

Xia Chuan's eye twitched slightly.

Isn't egocentrism just narcissism and arrogance?

Being able to communicate is a good thing, but this thing is too troublesome.

"Never mind," Natsukawa shook his head and released the Kabuto insect device. "I have no interest in becoming someone else."

Previously, the Knight System was obtained through a shuttle; this is the first time in this world.

It seems like it can save a lot of effort.

but.

Whether or not he can transform into Kabuto is completely irrelevant to him.

To deal with the Zerg, any Kabuto Rider is fine.

The Royal Bee, which I borrowed during my first transformation, was pretty good.

If all else fails, a shuttle can be used.

Clearing the dungeon isn't too difficult for him now.

"Hey, think about it again!" Kabuto Insect Instruments hurriedly caught up with Natsukawa. "Give it a try, I think you have a lot of potential!"
