Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 188 The Way of Heaven

"Bang--!"

What was that sound?

At the light show, the royal hornets stopped attacking and looked out of the square.

Amidst the chaos, there seemed to be an energy response far exceeding that of ordinary Zerg.

"Divine Mentor..."

"What's wrong?"

The ant soldiers, who were in dire straits, suddenly found that the pressure had eased and the swarms of alien insects that had clearly gained the upper hand suddenly retreated like a tide.

The machine gun noise subsided.

ZECT headquarters, which was already preparing to launch the missile, immediately suspended the order.

"What's going on over there?"

Inside the command room, Masato Mishima examined the Knight System data with a grim expression.

Just now, the steel bucket's values ​​had risen strangely, exceeding the initial set value, and for a moment the values ​​almost broke through his psychological defenses.

"Is there an error?"

"It's probably due to strong electromagnetic interference," the operator explained. "The signal has been very unstable since just now..."

Masato Mishima's brow remained furrowed.

Steel Fighter's identity is too special. Although he is the main force of the Knight Project, he will become a new threat sooner or later.

He had that feeling.

ZECT has no control over the steel bucket.

"Don't worry about it, everything is under control," Negishi said with a smile as he walked to Masato Mishima's side. "No matter what Steel Beam becomes, it poses no threat to us..."

"Is it because of the backdoor?"

Masato Mishima stared intently at Negishi in a deep voice.

"What exactly did you leave behind? That old man, Kagami Riku, has been trying to decipher it..."

"No matter the time, no matter what kind of people are dressed," Negishi's smile remained unchanged, "our priority in transforming into Protozoa is always number one."

"Tsk, are humans just cannon fodder for you?"

Mishima looked disgusted, but completely devoid of anger, as if he didn't consider himself human, and coldly looked back at the communication screen.

After the Zerg were defeated, communication was completely restored, and the scene could be clearly seen from several camera positions, but the view outside the square was very blurry.

"Where's the steel bucket?"

Mishima pushed up his glasses and rushed to the screen, his eyes immediately scanning and fixing on one of the surveillance cameras.

"enlarge!"

The image expands as Mishima shouts, but the steel bucket is nowhere to be seen, only a damaged area that appears to be the aftermath of an Zerg explosion.

"Is this guy intentionally avoiding surveillance?" Mishima slammed his fist on the table.

The Knight System has reached its limit in collecting information, as it is not an interactive system and has limited control capabilities.

"Is this also under control?"

"Of course," Negishi shrugged slightly, his smile feigning a warning, "You just need to eliminate the Zerg. It's best not to meddle in other things. We'll talk about everything once you've truly become one of us."

"call!"

The neon lights in Zhi Park are lit up again at night.

As Xia Chuan continued to release heat from his right foot, he looked back at the traces of the purple alien insect explosion. The steel combat suit fragmented and merged into his belt as the insect device released the fragments. His face did not show much emotion.

The alien insect did not die.

It will be resurrected twice more in the future.

However, even if it is resurrected, it will lose its time-stopping ability and will no longer be a threat.

Although the new ability is not weak, capable of absorbing lower-level Zerg and the skills of clone knights, it is of little use to him.

Xia Chuan gathered his thoughts.

The world's greatest threat has been resolved.

The remaining item is the HEPA insect apparatus.

He was also a user and was well aware of the power of the Hypa Worm in this world.

If it falls into the hands of Kabuto and Kokuto, it will be much more troublesome than the original Kintoto.

In particular, Fujiwara was number one.

The other party might be wary of the scarab time stop.

While both involve time-stopping, the Scarab's time-stop is undoubtedly much more troublesome than the Purple Zerg's, requiring not only a card swipe but also having more restrictions.

It can only be used as a surprise tactic.

Unfortunately, the Knight's Dungeon isn't a pure game; there's no way for him to acquire the Purple Zerg's abilities.

"You are... Kagami?"

Kusakabe Hikaru pushed his bicycle to the side of the road, watched Natsukawa's figure disappear after the Steel Fighter Suit vanished, opened his mouth, and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

Kagami Arata, whom she had always thought was like herself, suddenly became a knight fighting monsters, as if they were from two different worlds.

"wrong!"

A series of memories about Kagami Arata flooded back into his mind, and Kusakabe Hiroshi's expression changed slightly.

"You're not Kagami, so who...who are you? I can't remember..."

Hikari Kusakabe's memories are in disarray due to the impact of the timeline. He crouches down with a splitting headache. Just as the pain subsides, he looks up again only to find that Natsukawa has vanished.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan moved at high speed and stopped outside the light show square. He glanced at the ant soldiers who were finishing up, and went straight to Fujiwara Saiji, who was arranging for the wounded.

Assigning roles in instances isn't particularly reliable, especially when replacing existing characters.

It seems we can't go back to Sal's restaurant.

……

the other side.

Tendou Souji carried a steel basin filled with tofu across the overpass. Upon seeing Fujiwara no Daiichi waiting on the other side, he narrowed his eyes in confusion.

"Who are you……"

"Buzz!"

Fujiwara no Ichigo held a red and black beetle insect device in his hand.

I spent 35 years in the second dungeon, but the scene of Kabuto clearing it is still vivid in my mind.

He had been trying to find out about Kabuto for years, but the other party seemed to have disappeared around seven years after returning.

Left with no other choice, they had to continue developing the Kabuto system.

Just as Kagami Shinkai will become Kabuto, Tendou Souji is destined to become Kabuto, a gift from the previous level.

"It really was you, a perfect match for Kabuto, Tendou Souji," Fujiwara said scrutinizingly. "You must be wondering why it had to be you, right?"

"What's so strange about that?" The Heavenly Dao gently raised a finger. "I knew seven years ago that I would become the center of this world, practicing the Way of Heaven and ruling over everything!"

"This time, you don't have a choice."

Fujiwara calmly completed his transformation by inserting the insect device into his belt.

"You only have the belt from the previous instance, while I have already seized the future!"

"Clang!"

Tendou Souji threw down the steel basin and reached out to summon the insect device. However, just as he was about to get it, he suddenly froze, staring in astonishment as the Kabuto insect device turned into Negishi's hand, which had appeared out of nowhere.

"I see," Tendou Souji quickly regained his composure, his gaze shifting between Kurokazu and Negishi. "So this is the backdoor you prepared?"

"Once you are eliminated, the last obstacle will also disappear."

Negishi tossed the armored insect-fighting device around, his fake smile still on his face.

"The world will usher in true peace..."

"You have absolutely no idea," Tendou Souji suddenly laughed, "This world will indeed usher in peace, but not because of you!"

"You mean we'll lose to humans?" Negishi's smile vanished. "What can you do now? There's no chance to change the past!"

Tendou Souji calmly looked at the Hyperion mounted on the black-armored warrior's waist, spread his arms, and showed no intention of resistance: "Perhaps, but there's no need to change the past, changing the future is the same..."

"The future will not change!"

Black Armor Dou slightly raised his head, aimed his kunai spear directly, and fired.

"Bang! Bang!"

The bullet shot out, but suddenly a crack appeared in the void, instantly pulling Tendou Souji into another dimension, leaving only wisps of green electricity in his original position.

"What?!" Negishi exclaimed in shock, "An alternate dimension... Quick, after them!"

"Was that...RX?"

Black Armor Dou ignored Gen'an and coldly put down the kunai gun.

A level 6 knight, the only knight in this exploration team who could pose a threat to him.

Without the power of the Hypa Worms, why is RX able to enter the alternate dimension?
