Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 180 Captain

The rain continued, and Kabuto Insect Instrument did not meet with Xia Chuan immediately, but instead hid in a corner of the crowd to observe.

A man in a raincoat with a hood lowered his head, not daring to look any further, and quickly blended into the chaotic street behind him.

Amidst a commotion, an elite ant soldier team quickly marched into the arena, saluting and waiting for orders as they faced Natsukawa Gangdou's figure.

"team leader!"

"Is he the new team leader assigned by higher-ups?"

Fujiwara Saiji looked at him curiously.

He originally thought that his identity as Kamen Rider Royal Bee would allow him to become the captain of the Shadow Team, but suddenly someone else was parachuted in from above, who was said to be the strongest rider, known as the God of War, Steel.

These days, even the strongest items are becoming increasingly worthless.

Putting everything else aside, the RX who entered the dungeon this time is a top-tier player. They may not be as fast as the time-lapse, but they can handle all attacks while standing still.

While the Ascension technique may seem powerful, it is easy to expose weaknesses during the attack.

Especially effective against targets that react quickly.

I don't know about level 4 knights and above, but his current time-up transformation is actually not much different from normal acceleration.

"Whoosh!"

The steel combat suit receded and shrank back, and the insect device also flew back into the void, leaving only Xia Chuan turning around to face the elite ant soldiers.

"God's Enduring Mentor?!"

Fujiwara no Saiji, who was still muttering to himself, suddenly shuddered, his eyes filled with confusion.

Is your starting identity random?

Can one directly become a knight of this world?

"call!"

The other ant soldiers weren't particularly surprised, especially after seeing the Steel Fighter Suit.

Because of the internal selection process, there were quite a few elite ant soldiers participating in the experiment, and almost every one of them ended up in the hospital.

Being chosen by Steel Bucket is probably not just a matter of high compatibility.

"We'll talk about it later."

Xia Chuan recognized Fujiwara's voice, nodded slightly, and examined the elite ant soldier ranks in the rain.

Although it's only limited to this instance time period, he now has a group of subordinates to his name.

It's much easier than doing it alone.

According to his agreement with ZECT, he will be able to meet the protozoa who control ZECT after completing this mission.

The so-called protozoa are actually alien insects, but from another timeline. Compared to the alien insects in the current timeline, their most significant feature is that the larvae have long horns on their heads, and they are extremely difficult to molt into adults. The troublesome thing is that they are extremely numerous.

The entire meteorite contained these kinds of alien eggs.

However, after time restarted, something unknown happened, and this group of Zerg became an anomaly, hunted down by new Zerg, with their hostility even surpassing that of humans.

The truth may only be known when we see the protozoa.

That's not what he really cares about.

Regardless of any hidden secrets, clearing the dungeon is his only goal.

I just don't know if the conditions for clearing this dungeon are related to the protozoa.

The enemies in the Kabuto TV series are not only Zerg, but also Protozoa.

"Swish!"

The elite ant soldiers were well-trained and remained motionless under Xia Chuan's watchful gaze, like statues as the rain washed over them. Only Fujiwara Saiji was somewhat lacking, his poor quality immediately apparent.

The Royal Bee's defining characteristics are its team and its leader, and this guy doesn't seem to fit that description very well.

"Our next task is this woman."

Natsukawa took out a photograph in the rain and handed it to Fujiwara Saiji.

"Her name is Reina Mamiya, and she is a member of the Zerg leadership group. Find out her movements as soon as possible."

"Mamiya Reina?" Fujiwara Saiji's eyes widened in surprise, feeling as if he had fallen in love again.

She was a cold and beautiful woman wearing a black veil, who looked like a thorny rose.

If the Rose Woman of Gurongi is a transcendent and indifferent white, then the Cold and Beautiful Woman is a highly aggressive black who likes to look down on others and dominate everything, as if she were an unassailable queen.

And I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I vaguely feel like I saw my mother once when I was a child.

Beneath her strong exterior lies a gentle heart...

What should I do? I can't let Baluba down...

"An alien insect?" Fujiwara Saiji suddenly realized with shock, "The real Mamiya Reina has been killed?"

What do you think?

Natsukawa gave Fujiwara a strange look.

"I'll temporarily put you in charge of this operation. Once you find Reina Mamiya, don't make any rash moves. Contact me directly."

This guy made him a little uneasy.

They're trainees, after all; they can't just die in this dungeon.

The Zerg's temporal shift is virtually impossible to prevent, especially from the Zerg leadership.

This is both a dungeon and the real world. Whoever activates the Time-Up transformation first wins most of the battle. Once you're targeted, how can you possibly have time to transform?

Just take the TV performance with a grain of salt; he won't take it seriously.

"One level 4 knight has already been sacrificed."

Natsukawa's soft reminder, mixed with the sound of rain, reached Fujiwara's ears.

Just a moment ago, Fujiwara no Saiji was filled with anxiety and uncertainty, but now he was covered in a cold sweat.

……

Port area.

The death of the Level 4 Knight did not cause much of a stir, and like all previous Zerg attacks, it was treated as just another ordinary case.

No one knew his true identity, and the remaining knights were completely unaware of it.

The rain gradually subsided in the evening, but the sky remained overcast.

A fox-type knight stood guard by the roadside, anxiously waiting for his companions to reunite.

In the world of knights, the Extreme Fox series knights, also known as Desire Knights, are universally acknowledged to be in a miserable state. Without equipment to support them, even level 4 knights have no advantage whatsoever.

Other Riders with a Fusion Coefficient of 90 or even 80 can unleash their unique characteristics. Even with the most ordinary Rider system, those with a Fusion Coefficient of 90 or higher can possess considerable strength.

The only exception is the Extreme Fox series knights, who remain unchanged.

The increased fusion coefficient simply means it's easier to combine items and use more equipment.

But this is on the premise that you have the equipment.

Currently, only a small number of lucky individuals have obtained equipment from the temporary time-space rift, while the majority of the equipment has been collected by the Alliance.

The items that can be exchanged are almost all ordinary weapon items, or they have special defects.

For example, some items seem to be cursed, and their owners replace them very quickly, until eventually no one dares to use them.

The truly core items are extremely rare, and they have always been in the hands of the alliance, never being available for exchange.

He entered the dungeon this time hoping to increase the fusion coefficient as soon as possible, thinking that there might be a way after level 5.

"Do level 5 knights really enter the corresponding knight world? Shinji Kaminaga didn't seem to change much after becoming a level 5 knight."

The young man's expression shifted, and in his distress, he suddenly turned around in surprise. He instinctively tried to transform, but only breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it was his companion.

I was so tense, it almost caused me problems.

"You've finally arrived."

Unaware of his companion's blank expression, the young man shook his head and left the scene first.

"Now that I'm a police officer, I can get some information. The monsters in this world seem to be a special kind of creature called the Zerg. Many people saw another version of themselves before they were killed..."

"Anyway, come stay at my place first."

After talking to himself for a while, the young man looked curiously at his companion who hadn't responded.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No," his companion said with a smile, "two people are still not enough. I'm thinking of meeting with some other people. We definitely can't conquer this world on our own."

"conquer?"

"I mean, clearing the game."

"That makes sense, but the problem is I don't know the other people well..."

"Um?"

As he turned the corner, Tendou Souji paused, squinting slightly under his umbrella as he watched the two figures gradually walk away with a puzzled expression.

"Is it an illusion?"

Carefully holding the bowl of tofu in his hands, Tendou Souji quickly looked away, his mind preoccupied with his steps quickening as he thought of his stepsister waiting at home for the tofu dish.

"Never mind, the tree flowers must be getting impatient."

"Brother! You're back?"

The Way of Heaven.

The lively and charming Tendou Tree Flower leaped to the entrance, making a dazzling entrance to welcome Tendou Souji home.

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy today?" Tendou Souji noticed that his sister was dressed for going out and was carrying two umbrellas.

I need to go out for a bit.

The Heavenly Tree Flower responded with a smile.

"Actually, something really interesting happened to me today, it felt like I met a prince..."

"Oh?"

Tendou Souji's expression changed drastically, and the tofu in his hand clattered to the ground.

"Tree Flower, you..."

Although he had long expected this day to come, that his sister would eventually find someone she liked and get married, he really hadn't expected it to happen so soon.

"Who is he? How old is he? What family's brat is he from? No, bring him to see me right now!"

"What are you thinking about, brother?"

The Heavenly Tree Flower's smiling face twitched.

"I just wanted to return the umbrella. There's a restaurant mark on it. Oh right, it's the restaurant you often go to, right, Sal Restaurant?"

"mark?"

Tendou Souji suspiciously grabbed the umbrella, then suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"It's Kagami's umbrella... What's that kid up to?"
