Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 219, Level 6, Dungeon Cleared

"roar--!"

The long-haired youth was met with a roar like that of a dragon.

As the golden, peerless red dragon descended from the sky, the ground knights simultaneously received a command, all lowering their center of gravity and entering their ultimate attack state.

A blood-red full moon rose into the sky, and a huge bat emblem enveloped the sky above the holy land.

The crimson drill also locked onto the figure of the long-haired youth.

These knights...

The long-haired youth finally felt fear.

Even with divine power, there is still no absolute safety.

"You want to kill a god? You mere knights!"

"Whoosh!"

Upon realizing he couldn't teleport away, the long-haired youth roared and activated his ability.

Time in the Holy Land suddenly froze, and everything—wind, sand, water—came to a standstill. However, the knights, including Xia Chuan, seemed completely unaffected.

Having dealt with time-related abilities far too many times, Xia Chuan is no longer the same person he once was, and the effects of time stop on him have greatly diminished.

The Kalis Scarab Card, the Peerless Dragon that completely devoured the Golden Phoenix, and the Hyperion that re-entered the Knight World...

After he reached level 6, the entire Knight system received a similar enhancement effect to Kuuga.

Even when confined to the dungeon world, dealing with time-stop skills is no longer as passive as before; one can actively isolate oneself from time.

"How is this possible?" The long-haired youth completely lost his composure. "The future I saw..."

"The future has already changed from the moment you see it, and besides, what you can see, I can see too."

Between Xia Chuan and the long-haired youth, mirror images of knight cards were erected. With the combined power of all the knights, the limit value rose rapidly, from 1000 to 1600 before finally stopping.

Breaking the limit is not combat power, but it can determine how much power he can exert.

The already powerful ultimate Kuuga has become even more destructive.

"Boom—!"

Time resumed its flow.

When Kondo Isami arrived at the scene with the G3 team and many other superpowered individuals, he and Sawaki Tetsuya were both blocked outside the holy site, only able to see a fiery figure shooting into the glowing sphere in mid-air from afar.

A deafening explosion rang out, causing trees throughout the forest to collapse in a ring-like pattern, and a destructive shockwave swept over everything.

"call--!"

"Get cover!"

"Get down!"

The loud rumbling and shaking subsided after a while, accompanied by a piercing scream.

It seemed as if two orbs of light, one black and one white, split and dissipated into the world.

The group looked up in horror and stood up, bewildered to find that the sacred forest had been razed to the ground, as if a meteorite had fallen and exploded in mid-air, with trees radiating outwards and turning into a spectacular "wheat field".

"What exactly is this...?"

"Was that Kaminari just now?"

Kondo Isami stepped forward, his voice trembling with shock, and felt a profound emptiness within him.

Unlike in this world, Xia Chuan and Xia Chuan hadn't spent much time together in this instance world, but they had developed a rare bond of camaraderie.

He knew perfectly well how terrifying the enemy was, yet Xia Chuan still went alone.

It seems they have chosen to perish together with the "gods".

The most obvious evidence is that he sensed a trend toward separation.

This dungeon has been cleared.

So even natives can beat the game...

"You're kidding me, right?" Hikawa Makoto silently walked into the battlefield ruins, feeling somewhat unable to accept it. "This is Mr. Kaminaga's plan? It shouldn't have turned out like this."

"call!"

"Transform!"

This world is a knight school.

During his mission to provide support, Ryota Murai's version of Kuuga encountered a fierce storm. Amidst the howling sandstorm, the god of wind moved back and forth at high speed, easily catching not only Ryota Murai's punches but also dodging his all-around kicks with ease.

"What's up with this guy?"

After missing his punch at the god of wind standing above him, Murai Ryota staggered and looked around.

The surrounding wind had suddenly become aggressive, its sharp, piercing sound ringing out incessantly.

This birdman is incredibly strong; he can't match it at all in terms of strength or speed, and it has other abilities as well...

Superpowers?

"Bang!"

After his punch was caught by the Wind God's single hand and he was unable to break free, Murai Ryota was shocked. Before he could do anything, he felt a blur before his eyes and his body was suddenly blown away by a gust of wind.

Under the deadly threat, Kuuga's eyes gradually turned black, and his form evolved to resemble that of Ultimate Kuuga.

The fusion coefficient continued to soar to over 90.

"Hmph, how dare someone who can't even control their own power stand against me?"

The god of the wind followed swiftly, and after waving his hand to knock away Murai Ryota, who was still trying to retaliate, the bird's eyes were full of contempt, and its feathered form completely disappeared into the wind and sand.

Despite losing the power of wind in this world, his superpowers are still enough to overwhelm the knights.

"Bang bang bang!"

The windows of the villa area exploded under the impact of the strong winds, and I was thrown and rolled again, directly breaking free of my transformation.

Just as Hiroko Asami was leading her team to rescue people, the Wind God in attack mode vanished instantly along with the gale.

Not only here, but all the invaded bases have returned to calm.

All the Venerable Ones suddenly vanished at the same time, as if they had never existed.

"What's going on?"

Hiroko Asami tentatively stepped forward, cautiously scanning her surroundings. Only after receiving reports from the various defense teams and the news from the city did she finally confirm that the Venerable One incident was over.

The league subsequently lifted the alert.

This time-space dungeon seems to have been cleared.

"Is this Mr. Kotaro?" Tamura took off his ant soldier helmet and walked to Hiroko Asami's side.

Only two knights remained in the instance; the others were merely following the group.

Two super-powered kids and a super-powered homeroom teacher can't get anything done.

"Phew, it's been a long time since I've felt this nervous since the Futo Team disbanded five years ago. It feels like I've gone back to the old days," Tamura wiped his sweat and suddenly turned to Hiroko Asami, asking, "By the way, where's Kaminari?"

"what?"

Hiroko Asami took a beat to her senses, sniffed, and glanced at the villa covered in shards of glass.

"Kami-Naga went out earlier, probably because of the news about the small dungeon."

Kaminaga, for some reason, always does things that are easy to misunderstand.

It made her habitually lie.

"Excuse me," Shima said as he returned with his students and saw the unconscious Murai Ryota. "Shouldn't we have saved him first?"

He remained remarkably calm during the incident; the only unexpected thing was that he overestimated Ryota Murai.

……

Agito Time and Space.

Natsukawa walked through the city streets, holding a group photo of the Tsugami family in her hand, and looked across the street at Sayaka, who was passing by with a little boy.

Those who are resurrected in the dungeon world will lose their identity in this world, but their original traces will not disappear; they will simply never be able to return.

"Excuse me, excuse me," Kaoru Kino hurriedly crossed the street. "I have an emergency surgery to perform! Please let me through!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Don't run!"

From the other side of the street came the shouts of police chasing a suspect. A masked middle-aged man ran frantically toward Xia Chuan. When he was about a meter away, brandishing a dagger, he was suddenly pushed down by an invisible force.

"Are you alright?"

Bingchuan Chengfei pounced on the middle-aged man, firmly gripping the handcuffs before turning to Xia Chuan and speaking.

"You must avoid things like this in the future. You were almost hurt just now."

Kaoru Kino looked at Natsukawa with suspicion: "You are...?"

"Just passing by."

Xia Chuan's waist belt gleamed faintly as he turned and left the crowd, not intending to linger any longer.

It's true that we cleared the dungeon, but we didn't defeat the real dungeon boss, or rather, we can't defeat it at all.

The Black God is different from the venerable beings he created. The reason why he is called a god is not only because of his own authority, but also because he is immortal.

Its essence is a concept.

As long as the power of darkness exists in this world, the Black God will not disappear.

"Buzz!"

Just then, the pedestrians on the roadside suddenly stopped and the sound disappeared, leaving only Xia Chuan still able to move normally.

Time stop again!

The mysterious young man in black stood opposite the crowd, watching as Xia Chuan glowed and left the instance.

"Only you are not human."

"The real Black God?" Xia Chuan's eyes flickered.

The long-haired youth attempted to merge the incompatible forces of light and darkness, but ultimately died from the backlash.

It is much easier to deal with than pure dark power.

It seems that this Black God is at least equivalent to level 7 or even higher.

Without the aid of the knight's power, he is far from being able to compare with him.

"Whoosh!"

This world.

In the darkness of night, a brief moment of spacetime shift occurred on a secluded highway. Xia Chuan appeared silently on his Golem motorcycle and sped off into the distance.

Race: human

Lifespan: 36/3000

Physique: All Rider Transformation lv6

Limit exceeded: 1000

Life level: D (Cosmic being)

Rank: 4 (Super Recovery, Super Speed, Ultra Telekinesis, Sealing Barrier, Supernatural Ignition)

Source material: Kuuga, Dark Kiva, Kalista, Ryuki, Faiz, Kabuto, Steel Tempest

……

I didn't get the new Knight System, but I did get the power enhancement feature.

My level jumped to lv6, and my limit-breaking value also increased to 1000, just like in the dungeon.

The increase in lifespan by a thousand years didn't bother him much, but the fact that he was 36 years old made Xia Chuan somewhat emotional.

Another year has passed without us even realizing it.

This year has passed as if it has gone through a series of cycles. Not only have I gained the power of many knights to protect myself, but I have also finally embarked on the path of evolution.

"Buzz!"

Xia Chuan looked down at the shuttle belt that had appeared after the cooling refresh. The originally unremarkable core now had the outline of a card camera, with light flashing as if it were responding to something.

Based on the information currently available, the true prototype of this thing is the Decade Belt, which is the petrified belt that the Fujiwara Foundation may possess.

This is a potential problem for him.

However, after the last alien insect incident, the former chairman of the Fujiwara Group completely disappeared and no one knows where he went.

The next day.

Perhaps because the dungeon run had drained too much of his energy, Natsukawa slept until noon the next day after returning to the base. When he woke up, Asami Hiroko was leading a group to repair the window glass that had shattered the day before.

Construction noises could be heard from all over the school, with clanging and banging sounds everywhere, suggesting that a considerable battle had taken place.

However, compared to the constantly tense atmosphere of the dungeon, Xia Chuan found a rare sense of peace in what he saw.

After all, reconstruction means safety, which shows that his efforts were not in vain.

Passing by the construction site, and glancing at the still-crowded medical office from afar, Xia Chuan turned and walked into the school cafeteria.

Although it was lunchtime, there weren't many people in the cafeteria. A few students were gathered in front of the wall-mounted TV, watching a special report on the SkyNet competition.

A team from country M, Team 01, dominated the leaderboard, having no rivals in the competition.

Their overall strength has surpassed that of the former Kabuto and Nagabana teams.

"Have you heard? Mr. Kotaro was summoned by the Alliance right after returning from the dungeon yesterday. The Skynet tournament ends with a challenge match. Could it be that Mr. Kotaro is going to take the field?"

"I'm not too worried about RX's strength, but this is a team competition. What's the use of RX having one strong player?"

"Mentor Kaminari should be able to help, right? After all, he's the only level 5 knight in the world."

"So what if you're a level 5 knight? Relying on the Extreme Fox?"

Xia Chuan casually glanced at the students who were discussing in hushed tones, then his gaze was fixed on Team 01 on the television screen.

That's the downside of having such sharp ears; you can hear everything clearly.

Fortunately, he didn't pay too much attention to these things.

Kamen Rider 01.

This series is a new series from the Heisei era in Japan. He doesn't know much about the content, but it also has corresponding information about knights.

He had been paying attention to the alliance's research and development plan when it was announced earlier.

I didn't think it would appear so soon.

As a new-era technological knight, the 01 boasts impressive performance, with its basic data alone being remarkable. Coupled with countless upgrade forms, its strength has also transcended eras.

Faced with these new riders, only a few of the old riders can still maintain their strength.

Of course, just like the Extreme Fox, 01 is also a product that relies on its equipment.

Without equipment, you're just average; with equipment, you're godlike.

These 01 Riders in the Skynet competition only have basic forms, but further development should only be a matter of time.

The technology of these aliens in this world is no less advanced than that of the Knights world; it's just a matter of whether they're willing to or not.

"Kaminaga..."

Kondo Isami casually carried his tray past, but upon seeing Natsukawa, he stopped and called out to her, only to awkwardly sit down to the side a moment later.

They look so alike that it's easy to mistake one for the other.

but.

Thinking of Natsukawa's "sacrifice" in the dungeon world, Kondo Isami's expression was complicated. Encountering this world didn't feel as unpleasant as it used to.

Even if it wasn't the same person, the debt of gratitude for saving his life made it impossible for him to ignore that face.

"What's wrong?" Xia Chuan's eyebrows twitched.

I feel like there's something off about the way this guy is looking at me.

It's better to avoid contact with them in the future.

"It's nothing, it's just that...the scenery brought back some memories."

Kondo Isami composed himself, stood up seriously, and said to Natsukawa in a friendly manner.

"I don't care about the past anymore. Let's work together to become level 5 knights from now on, Kaminari."

"I'm already a level 5 knight."

"Well……"

Kondo Isami's smile was stiff.

I still find it really annoying.

……

Alliance high-level meeting.

The refined young man became the center of discussion at the meeting, along with another alien in charge of Project 01.

"So the biological experiments really failed? I told you they were completely meaningless; your thinking is outdated."

"I did not fail!"

The refined young man leaned forward and pressed his body against the conference table.

"It's just that someone sabotaged my experiment, managing to summon knights from the leaderboard simultaneously, and somehow managed to get them into that instance... I have to find out!"

"Huh? You're doubting me?"

"Are you sure the Ranking Knight has really appeared?" the leading alien said in a deep voice. "This isn't the first time. It seems we need to start the investigation with the Fujiwara Foundation. No one else has the ability to enter the instance world separately."
