Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 231 Six Months Later

Hibiki in ancient times.

Hai Village.

Many sound warriors, including Hibiki, gathered at the village entrance. Asumu, holding the hand of the girl Ichie, watched as Natsukawa gradually faded into the distance and disappeared with the other survivors of the village.

"Mr. Kaminaga... could he be a true god?"

"It's fortunate they're not enemies."

Hibiki touched the corner of his mouth, raised his head slightly, and seemed to see a peerless divine dragon surrounded by golden flames following Xia Chuan away.

"Haha, don't joke around," one of the sonic warriors said with a stiff smile, "I don't want to get kicked to death like Orochi... Wait, wait?! You haven't been beaten up before, have you?"

"That's not true. I'm practically half of Shen Yong's master."

"If we're really talking about Master, then it's the Frozen Ghost, isn't it?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Frozen Ghost frowned in confusion, "But then again, I still think that the bat warrior that Kaminari transformed into before was even more terrifying. Perhaps what we've seen is just the tip of the iceberg."

"Hey! Come here right now!"

An elderly villager ran out shouting, his face a mixture of terror, disbelief, and immense joy.

"The entire Ling family has come back to life!"

"How is that possible? I saw the giant snake swallow them with my own eyes!"

The villagers rushed back to their village, leaving the sound-firing soldiers looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Kaminaga... Lord Kaminaga also used the power of demons, right? So we are indirectly a descendant of the gods?"

"I think that 'transformation' line is really powerful, what about you guys?"

"I think it's called Kamen Rider?"

"Whoosh!"

This world.

Kondo Isami had a very strange dream in which he traveled back to the Sengoku period and was served by servants as a castle lord.

But while he was playing hide-and-seek with his maid with his eyes covered, he suddenly woke up without warning, and the delicate body he had finally managed to hold in his arms turned into an old tree covered with ants.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

He gags the ants he's eaten, and only breathes a sigh of relief when he realizes the thick fog still hangs around him.

"Master Kondo?" Natsukawa emerged from the white mist. "What are you doing?"

"I……"

Kondo Isami shuddered suddenly, stiffened his neck and turned around. When he saw that it was Natsukawa, his face turned even worse than if he had eaten ants.

Unfortunately, it was seen by the person I hate the most.

"Um, everyone's looking for you, Kaminaga," Kondo Isami chuckled, changing the subject. "Your student said you're missing..."

"The fog here seems to be starting to dissipate."

Natsukawa didn't pay much attention to Kondo Isami.

I don't know if it's because I cleared the Hibiki dungeon, but the white mist is thinning and shrinking at a visible speed, and visibility is constantly increasing.

Soon, the figures of the action team could be seen emerging from the fog.

Hiroko Asami and Akihisa Taki were among them, as well as an old professor who excitedly kissed the ground as soon as he came out.

"They're back! They're really back!"

"I'm still alive? I'm not dead!"

On the other side of the mist, Matsuo touched his cheek in a daze, only to find that the skin on the back of his hand was aging and drying rapidly as the white mist dissipated.

The knights of the action team who had been surrounding Matsuo in perfect unison were surprised and retreated. In the blink of an eye, they saw Matsuo transform from a young man into an old man with white hair.

"No! Help me!"

Matsuo's hoarse, terrified voice rang out, but before he could even get close to the crowd, he was reduced to a skeleton and smashed into dust in the passage of time.

"What's going on?" Kondo Isami, unaware of the situation, felt a chill run down his spine. "Who is this guy? Can this fog steal time?"

"We seem to be fine," Professor Kimura said, though he was still shaken but didn't feel anything was wrong with himself. "It's probably because of Matsuo himself. He's been assimilated into the alternate world and has automatically experienced the passage of time from the ancient timeline to the modern timeline."

"Let's get out of this hellhole first," the team leader said warily. "We still need to report Team 01 to the Alliance..."

Hiroko Asami didn't say anything, but she kept staring at Natsukawa since she came out, making Natsukawa feel very uncomfortable.

"Oh right, Kaminari," Taki Akihisa suddenly remembered, "did you also enter the dungeon world? We saw your name in an ancient book."

"My name?"

Xia Chuan was slightly dazed.

He clearly told me not to reveal anything about myself when he left.

"I was just with Kondo, and then I saw him..."

"Um, Kaminaga," Kondo Isami said with a dark face, pulling Natsukawa back, "Let's notify the others first. Because of you, I even contacted Mr. Kotaro."

……

School villa.

Everyone returned safely, but it felt like a lifetime had passed.

Time seemed to be out of control within the white fog. Kondo Isami and his team had only been searching for half a day, but half a year had already passed in the outside world. The alliance almost issued a notice of total annihilation.

"Kaminaga," Tamura reminded him after his visit, "almost all the original Class A students have become Level 4 Knights. Next, some students from the Superpower Class will be transferred to Class A."

"Superpower Class?"

"I forgot to tell you, after you disappeared six months ago, your super-powered class teacher also vanished. No new teacher has been assigned, and there's already a super-powered individual who can transform into a knight..."

After seeing Tamura off, Natsukawa fell into deep thought.

The super-powered class tutor is that refined young alien who uses the alternate world for experiments.

To this day, we still don't know the other party's specific background.

I wonder if he can handle it now.

Race: human

Lifespan: 36/3000

Physique: All Rider Transformation lv6.1

Limit exceeded: 1100

Life level: D (Cosmic being)

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

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

……

This trip to Hibiki didn't bring much improvement; the limit break value only increased by 100, but I also gained a Hibiki material and the superpower of energy absorption.

The sealing barrier was strengthened and truly became a seal. It was a side result of the research on Hibiki's power, but it was never used in the end.

In terms of Rider combat power, Kuuga and Dark Kiva are still in a class of their own. Other Rider systems are more about enriching combat styles and dealing with the endless special abilities that emerge in different timelines.

Kuuga and Dark Kiva's strength is affected by the wearer, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. However, the power that can be exerted at present is still within the level 7 range.

Even in burst mode, the associated limit value cannot reach more than 2000.

This level of risk is far from secure.

Aliens are a rather troublesome presence in the Knights world, and their influence can be felt in every timeline to some extent.

Among them are many who become the masterminds and villains behind the scenes in the world of knights.

Putting aside their inherent strength, the most troublesome aspect is their technological prowess, which far surpasses that of humans.

At the very least, these guys should be considered as opponents capable of destroying stars.

It is safe only when the level reaches lv10 or above.

During the period of the fault line, Skynet updated its ranking system, officially raising the original Level 5 standard to Level 10, with the reference point being the monsters that once appeared on Earth.

The specific rating method is unclear, but it happens to correspond to his previous strange dreams.

It shouldn't be based on pure strength, otherwise wouldn't he be equivalent to a humanoid monster once he reaches level 10?

"Kuuga?" Hiroko Asami suddenly poked her head out and called out.

Xia Chuan turned around in surprise.

Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not empty-handed.

"It's nothing, I was just talking about Kuuga on TV."

Hiroko Asami glanced at the news program playing on the living room television.

"During the time we were in the dungeon, a lot of things really changed outside. Small dungeons have become the norm, and even gene potions and otherworldly fruits have appeared. Knights also have a new path to advancement. I heard that quite a few level 4 knights have appeared by accumulating resources."

"A small copy?"

Xia Chuan then turned to look at the television.

A new "Kuuga" instance has appeared, and some players have even obtained a new Kuuga belt.

It appears to be a knight system that allows users to redeem points directly on the SkyNet.

"When did Kuuga become so overused?"

"There were already quite a lot."

Asami Hiroko glanced at Natsukawa and said.

"Moreover, the League is now planning to expand the popularity of Kamen Rider. Newcomers can obtain the Rider System through the Skynet test even if they don't have enough points. I'm tempted. The Desire System is still not good enough."

"The desire system hasn't really kicked in yet."

Xia Chuan gently shook his head.

Judging from the appearance of the Knight dungeon, the "Extreme Fox" dungeon is actually the most unique.

Despite being a new generation of knights, they already had small-scale dungeons existing quite early on.

If the "Extreme Fox" instance is not scaled down when it finally arrives, it contains the power of creation, a true force of creation, much more reliable than the Black God.

"How exactly did you become a Level 5 Extreme Fox?" Hiroko Asami leaned closer and asked. "Everyone outside is very curious now, saying that you must have mastered some secret. You're clearly a Level 5 Knight, but no 'ghost incidents' have occurred."

"I don't know either."

Xia Chuan gathered his thoughts and suddenly realized that this world was still in the era of Level 4 Knights.

Even if he is very careful, starting at level 6, he can easily arouse suspicion.

Hiroko Asami seemed to have become suspicious.

Not everyone is as easily fooled as Kondo Isami.

What if we encountered aliens who could read memories...?

"Ugh—!"

Suddenly, the silence inside the room was broken by the sound of a train whistle.

Looking out the window, I saw that snow had started falling heavily in the night. A red and white train burst out of the spacetime vortex that appeared in mid-air and drove through the snow along the automatically laid tracks.

Before I could get a closer look, the train, along with the heavy snow, blurred and disappeared, as if it had never existed.

It's been months, and the upstairs neighbors are still doing renovations. It's so frustrating...
