Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 215 I am Ultraman

"Ugh!"

Kaoru Kino froze, staring straight at the glowing white-clad figure flying toward the long-haired boy.

"This is my power..."

"Whoosh!"

As the power of light merged with the long-haired boy, Kaoru Kino lost his supporting strength, instantly breaking free of his transformation and collapsing to the ground in agony amidst the extinguishing flames and thick smoke.

The boy only inherited the power of the Black God; he was not the Black God after all, and had no intention of sparing Kino Kaoru's life.

As she lost the power of light, Kaoru Kino's last breath was extinguished, and her eyes, fixed on Natsukawa, quickly dimmed.

This is the power of the gods.

"Quick, run!"

"It's too late. I've decided to grant you death."

The long-haired boy walked past Kino Kaoru and fixed his gaze on Natsukawa.

"You can die without regrets, having been able to let me take action myself."

"call!"

Xia Chuan sensed the research institute above.

Sometime later, the superpowered individuals had been massacred, and the ground was littered with corpses with their eyes wide open. Only a small number of people managed to escape the scene, but they still couldn't escape the base.

A massive number of Ant Venerables emerged from the ground, and even the Queen Venerable and other high-ranking Venerables appeared one after another.

This base is also the lair of the Venerables.

"Kaminaga!"

"ah--!"

Sumiko Ozawa shouted anxiously, but before she could do anything, she heard Risa Fukami scream behind her.

"Don't come any closer!"

One by one, the ants pounced on the female officer, the smacking sounds sending chills down one's spine.

These guys actually eat people.

This has never happened before...

Sumiko Ozawa swallowed hard, quickly realizing that the Ant Master was after her.

"Danger!"

Tetsuya Sawaki dragged his weakened body into the underground space, gritted his teeth and transformed into the golden Agito to save Sumiko Ozawa. Several Ant Masters that approached were all blown up.

However, this is only a drop in the ocean compared to the endless number of Venerable Ones.

Staying at the Self-Defense Forces base will only lead to certain death.

After briefly blocking the passageway with light breathing, Zeki Tetsuya hurriedly turned towards the underground space.

"Mr. Kaminari!"

"Bang--!"

A violent explosion flashed from within the mist, the shockwave revealing Xia Chuan's black Ultimate Void form, along with several high-ranking Venerables far surpassing ordinary Venerables.

The long-haired boy was already able to control all the Venerables below the Supreme God Venerable.

"call!"

The evaporation of water vapor accelerated further. Xia Chuan blasted away the Owl Venerable who was attacking, and snatched the trident from the Ant Queen Venerable beside him.

Under the transformation of microscopic particles, the trident in Xia Chuan's hands quickly changed, and golden parts spontaneously generated along with the sealing energy, piercing out bursts of lightning.

"Sizzle!"

"waste!"

Upon discovering that even restraining a high-ranking Venerable was proving difficult, the long-haired boy frowned and activated his superpower, causing flames to gather again within the vast space and engulf Xia Chuan.

Even in its youth form, its power is still considerable, far surpassing the Ultimate Daguba I remember.

Fortunately, Xia Chuan himself also possessed supernatural fire control abilities. With just a muffled groan, he emerged from the thick black smoke, his sublimated spear thrusting straight at the barrier surrounding the long-haired boy.

"Bang--!"

The shockwave shattered, revealing the entire underground space to Tetsuya Sawaki.

In a daze, it felt as if I had returned to the Tianliang ship that perished.

"Mr. Kaminari!"

Without thinking too much, the golden Agito emblem appeared beneath Zeki Tetsuya's feet, and he launched a flying kick straight through the hole in the broken wall.

The long-haired boy didn't even turn around. While resisting Xia Chuan's attack, he casually raised his arm, and the next moment, Zeki Tetsuya (Agito) was sent flying backward with a scream.

The power of the emblem, originally intended for offense, was instead transformed into raging flames, illuminating the underground space.

"ah--!"

"It's no use," the long-haired boy smiled, activating his superpower. "Your strength is no match for me..."

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan swung his sublimated spear again, and as the barrier was forced open by the collision, his psychic power expanded simultaneously, causing him and the long-haired boy to retreat each other.

"Mr. Kaminari..."

As the flames around Zeki Tetsuya died down, he tried to rejoin the battle but was stopped by Natsukawa.

"Take them away!"

After casually tossing the unconscious Hikawa Makoto out of the underground space, Natsukawa used his psychic power to envelop the entire area, completely releasing all restrictions, and launched a sweeping kick at the high-ranking Venerable who was protecting the long-haired boy.

"You're asking for death!" The long-haired youth angrily mobilized his dark power.

"Boom—!"

Tetsuya Sawaki staggered back to the ground research institute. After helping the unconscious Makoto Hikawa out of the passage with Sumiko Ozawa, he clenched his fist and looked back at Ultimate Kuuga, who was fighting against the long-haired boy and the Venerables.

"Hurry up!"

With a violent tremor, soil and rocks fell down, and the entire base showed signs of collapse.

With a burst of intense light, the underground space finally gave way and was buried by earth and rocks in the blink of an eye, and the battle fell silent.

……

"Whoosh!"

This world.

Xia Chuan slowly opened his eyes, a flash of light passing through his pupils, and the shuttle belt on his abdomen dimmed and retracted, entering a cooling state.

Although we lost, we didn't really lose.

They were forced to return at the last minute when the time limit expired, and were unable to complete the battle.

But can he win if he continues?

If we link the limit-breaking value to combat power, the limit-breaking value shown by the boy is at least 1000 or higher.

Xia Chuan wiped away his sweat and stood up.

The group of toothed bats disappeared without a trace.

The TV was on in the living room downstairs, while Hiroko Asami was taking a shower in the bathroom, seemingly preoccupied with something. When she came out, she saw Natsukawa almost drop his towel.

"When did you get back?" Hiroko Asami asked, confused. "Or did you use the shuttle again?"

Xia Chuan sat down on the living room sofa and checked the time. He realized that a day had passed. He wasn't very hungry, but he felt a little tired.

The shuttle is most demanding in terms of energy.

"They really used a time shuttle?"

Hiroko Asami stiffened as she went back to her room to change. A moment later, she came out dressed in a business suit and coughed as she met Natsukawa's gaze: "I don't only have this one outfit. I just often have to go out on fieldwork, so I prepared a few extra. I'm going out again soon, and a new instance has appeared."

"A new instance?"

"Unlike the previous world dungeons, this is just a small space with ordinary monsters."

Hiroko Asami sat down and explained.

"I heard that if you're lucky, you can get the Desire Driver buckle, so I'm going to go in and take a look. Anyway, it's not too dangerous."

"Where there is opportunity, there is bound to be danger. The other knights are in real trouble."

Xia Chuan shook his head.

He was thinking about when to hand over the royal bee insect instrument to Hiroko Asami.

The Royal Bee was somewhat useless to him, but it was very suitable for Hiroko.

"Any news about the previous dungeon exploration team?" Xia Chuan continued to ask.

"Most of the knights have withdrawn," Hiroko Asami sighed. "But Mr. Kotaro and Isami Kondo are still there, and the Superpower Class members haven't been able to come back either. I heard that a god-like figure has appeared on the other side, and that's the only piece of information they've managed to get out."

Xia Chuan's expression shifted, and he did not speak further.

To be honest, he didn't expect it to turn out this way.

They encountered alien forces so quickly, and these aliens were even capable of using the entire time-space replica as a testing ground.

Earth is indeed being heavily invaded by aliens. Maybe that auntie on the street who's cursing is an alien. But most aliens don't actually have any abilities; they're just forced to stay because they don't have the ability to leave Earth.

The truly threatening aliens are almost all on the Alliance's side; I don't know why they didn't escape Earth five years ago.

It now seems to have a lot to do with the arrival of the Knights' Era.

"I'll go cook for you," Hiroko Asami said, glancing at the time. "The new dungeon refreshes this afternoon, do you want to go?"

Xia Chuan silently watched the news report about the Venerable One on TV, and the scene from the Agito timeline floated into his mind.

"Hiroko, what kind of person do you think I am? Am I selfish and opportunistic? Or...?"

Why are you suddenly asking this?

Hiroko Asami stopped in her tracks, puzzled, and paused, recalling their past and present interactions.

Shinji Kaminari has indeed changed a lot, but you could also say he hasn't changed at all.

"We're all the same. No matter what, in my heart you're Ultraman, both human and Ultraman."

"I'm no longer Ultraman."

Xia Chuan closed his eyes and entered the mental space.

Although he asked a question out of curiosity, he knew very well that he was not a hero, but merely someone who inherited the will of Shinji Kaminari and Ultraman.

All their actions are ultimately driven by selfishness.

Just like this time, even though the Agito instance needs him, he doesn't really want to risk entering the Agito timeline again.

Doing something on a whim and risking one's life to save the world are two completely different things.

"Whoosh!"

A burst of light exploded in the mental space, and the initial image of rushing into the barrier to save people from the Green Thorn appeared in the projection, followed by the transformation of the Zhaichang Royal Bee...

All the transformation battle scenes and world-saving scenarios flashed by at high speed like a movie in the bright light.

You can vaguely see Shinji Kaminari and Ultraman Lipia approaching. The silhouette of the giant, tens of meters tall, converges into the light spot and finally forms a life form of light the size of an infant.

Its shape is similar to that of Lypia, except that it has a flashing light timer on its chest.

"I am Ultraman..."

Natsukawa reopened his eyes and called out to Hiroko Asami, who was about to go into the kitchen to cook, "Let's talk about food later, I'm going out for a bit."

"What's wrong?"

The garage door opened, the Golem motorcycle automatically turned on its headlights, and the engine started in advance, entering standby mode: "Master!"

"Still the same as always."

Accompanied by the roar of motorcycle engines, Xia Chuan put on his helmet, fastened his gloves, and drove out of the villa area under the dazed gaze of Asami Hiroko.

It was still the same remote road. Fang Bat II gathered with a large number of insect instruments and flew to Xia Chuan's side along with the Hypa insects.

"Sizzle!"

After a brief ripple of thunder, the golem suddenly rushed into the spatial portal connecting to the Agito instance.

Compared to previous versions, the temporal barriers in Agito seem to be much stronger, with significantly increased resistance.

Fortunately, with Xia Chuan's advancement, the Golem motorcycle also received a significant boost, and after only a brief delay, it disappeared along with the spatial passage into the remote road.

The alliance's detection system was not triggered.

"Whoosh!"

It remains the same Self-Defense Force base.

Xia Chuan stopped his motorcycle in front of a square. Looking around, he saw soldiers' corpses everywhere around the collapsed base, and many half-damaged trucks overturned on both sides of the road.

It seems that not much time has passed since the battle, otherwise they wouldn't have failed to come and clean up.

Xia Chuan removed his helmet, crossed the plaza, and scanned the base with his telekinesis.

Only a few of the previously rampaging Ant Venerables remain; the majority have already headed to the city.

As for the superhuman corpses in the underground space, apart from the damaged ones, the rest have been moved to an unknown location.

Xia Chuan paused above the ruins, still faintly sensing the powerful aura of the long-haired boy, but had no clue where Minami Kotaro and Kondo Isami had gone.

It's hard to say about Minami Kotaro, but Kondo Isami is probably in grave danger.

Even he hadn't expected the long-haired boy to be so ruthless, showing no mercy whatsoever.

The exploration team was wiped out before they could do anything.

After taking one last look at the ruins and confirming there were no survivors, Xia Chuan got back on his Golem motorcycle and left the scene.

……

"Whoosh!"

The park was exceptionally quiet under the cover of night; even the chirping of insects seemed to be erased by an invisible force.

Kondo Isami hid his head in the pool, his eyes tightly shut, not daring to move, until the high-ranking porcupine he was searching for left, at which point he briefly emerged from the water.

"ah--!"

A scream came from afar. After seeing the passerby's body turn into water and collapse, Kondo Isami suppressed his sobs and dived down again.

RX was blown up while trying to save him, and he couldn't let Kotaro Minami's sacrifice be in vain. He had to spread the truth to this world.

but……

The other party was originally from this world, and destroyed his and RX's one-time shuttle from the very beginning.

Is there any other way to get back besides clearing the level?

Kondo Isami's eyes were filled with despair.

If he had the ability to clear the game, why would he be so miserable in every dungeon?

"Gurgle!"

A faint sound came from underwater, and fatigue and hunger began to creep in.

After waiting for a while, Kondo Isami scrambled out of the water and walked to the scene of his murder in the floodwaters.

Even he found the Pork Boar's abilities terrifying.

If you are hit by its head needle, all the cells in your body will turn into water.

He didn't know the Venerable level, but the strength of the Porcupine Venerable was clearly higher than that of ordinary Venerables. He almost died at the hands of the Venerable when he escaped.

After hastily picking up the food that had fallen to the ground, Kondo Isami fled the scene without looking back.

the other side.

Tatsuji, terrified, fled all the way back to the Metropolitan Police Department from the Self-Defense Forces base, but before he could even rest, he was blocked by Sumiko Ozawa.

"What do you want to do?" Si Long Er demanded, his face darkening. "I'm still your superior inspector..."

"It won't be like that for long."

Sumiko Ozawa crossed her arms and stepped aside, revealing the law enforcement officers behind her.

"Your contact with the Self-Defense Forces and your tampering with G3-X have been exposed. And the truth behind that previous murder case has also been found. You're using the name 'unknown' to seek revenge..."

Si Long's expression changed drastically. He tried to turn and escape but was handcuffed: "What do you mean? Let me go! I don't understand..."

"Are you still playing dumb? The relationship between you and the victim, as well as your methods and alibi, have all been uncovered."

"I did nothing wrong!"

Si Long Er roared with red eyes.

"That guy killed my sister while I was hospitalized after being injured while saving someone... What did I do wrong?!"

"And what about Shen Yong? You want to silence him, right? Stop lying to yourself, you're no longer qualified to be a policeman."

Sumiko Ozawa shook her head, ignoring Ryuji's struggles, and turned to leave with a slightly darkened gaze.

"Officer Ozawa," Hikawa Makoto silently followed beside him, "Will Mr. Kaminaga ever come back?"
