Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 266 W Dungeon

Alliance branch building.

Underground Parking Lot.

Xia Chuan paused outside for a moment, then stepped through the opened hidden gate into the underground space.

He had originally planned to find an opportunity to enter the W timeline, but then he suddenly received an invitation from the Alliance.

"Da da!"

Inside the space, a well-shaped spacetime vortex emitted a stream of light.

The young police officer, holding the ace memory chip under the light, looked thoughtful, only turning around in surprise when he heard footsteps.

"Kaminari? You were summoned here too?"

"We meet again, you two," before the police officer could get any information, the white-clad youth's projection suddenly appeared on the other side of the vortex. "This time, I've brought you two here not to transform into W, but to give you a chance to become Level 6 Knights."

"Level 6...a chance?"

The young police officer's eyes narrowed sharply.

"What do you mean?"

Back when he joined the league team, he had already challenged the only level 6 knight, RX.

We lost badly back then, and we were completely powerless to fight back.

Even if he advances to level 5 now, he has no hope of winning.

A level 6 knight and a level 5 knight are completely different things. It's not as simple as level +1; it's a completely different level.

According to RX, it's about breaking limits.

"Of course, it means exactly what it says," the young man in white laughed. "The success rate of becoming a level 6 knight by relying solely on the knight system is too low. Mr. Kaminari should be well aware of this, right?"

However, if the second knight system can also be upgraded to level 5, the success rate can be increased to at least 70%.

"It's easier said than done," the young police officer scoffed. "I've spent all my resources and only managed to upgrade 'Ace' to level 4. It's not even close to level 5."

That's why I said I'd give you both a chance.

The young man in white turned his gaze to the glowing well.

"This time portal can send the two of you to the W world instance."

"This is a dungeon portal?" The young police officer frowned slightly. "Didn't you fail to transform before? How did this portal open?"

"You don't need to know how it was activated," the white-robed youth said with an unchanged smile, as an image of the Decade belt appeared in front of him. "I only have one request: bring this belt out of the dungeon."

"Is this the Decade Drive? Could those Zerg be in the W instance?"

The young police officer's expression grew even more somber.

"I don't care about the Decade belt, those Zerg must be dealt with."

As he spoke, the young police officer raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Chuan.

"Kaminaga, what is your choice?"

"I'll go over there too; the Zerg definitely needs to be dealt with."

Xia Chuan shifted his gaze from the young man in white.

These people seem to want to take advantage of him, but it's hard to say who's taking advantage of whom.

He needs this conglomerate X to get rid of some trouble.

Moreover, the decade driver is also his target.

"What a surprise! It's rare that we're on the same page."

The police officer chuckled softly.

"But don't hold me back, after all, you haven't been into a dungeon in a long time, have you? Things aren't like they used to be, and the difficulty of dungeons isn't static anymore."

Xia Chuan ignored the young police officer standing next to him and continued to ask, "Are there only the two of us? Even if we need a level 5 knight, there should be quite a few others."

"There are only the two of you," the white-clad youth's smile faded slightly, "The Fujiwara Group has already established a security system. Only Riders who have transformed using Memory can stay in the W instance. You are the most suitable candidates for the mission."

The young police officer, realizing what was happening, asked in confusion, "What about the disposable shuttle? We can't just go there like this, can we?"

"There are no disposable shuttles," the young man in white shook his head and said. "Don't forget that the Fujiwara Group is the developer of the shuttles. Even if you brought one, it wouldn't be of any use."

"Then how do we get back? What if we can't clear the level..."

"Don't worry, Master, there's also Consortium X in the W instance. They'll assist you when necessary."

"What?"

The police officer's expression shifted slightly as he refocused his gaze on the young man in white.

Although they belong to the same alliance, he knew nothing about this Foundation X.

There's even a Consortium X in the dungeon.

"What exactly is going on? You and the Fujiwara Group...?"

"Master Daoist!"

The young man in white suddenly rebuked him in a cold voice.

"Don't worry about unnecessary things. Curiosity is not a good thing. Mr. Kaminaga is wiser than you in this respect."

"snort."

The young police officer looked grim, but did not press the matter further.

He hates it most when people say that he is not as good as Xia Chuan.

I must uncover the secrets of Foundation X when I have the chance.

"Let's go."

Xia Chuan was the first to walk towards the glowing well.

He roughly knew what was going on; the so-called Zaibatsu X was very likely the Fujiwara Zaibatsu that had been reorganized after being swallowed up by the alliance.

Perhaps there are also various organizations active in this world.

However, none of this concerns him.

All he needs to do is evolve and become stronger.

Strength can solve most problems.

……

"Someone come here!"

W-spacetime.

A woman in a black wool coat appeared in the light and shadow.

He wore a round black hat, reflective sunglasses, and his face, which was covered by long hair, was wrapped in strange white bandages. His entire body was completely wrapped up, with not a single inch of skin showing.

"Someone, you're about to evolve. Leave that man... The right partner for you isn't Shotaro Sato; he can't keep up with your power!"

"OLD!" means aging.

In a bridge archway somewhere in Fuuto, a hybrid using the special Gaia Memory "Aging" is battling Accel, the world's second-ranked knight.

As the secondary rider of the W timeline, Police Rider is much stronger than ordinary riders, and the wearer has a special physique. Originally, he was the candidate for the dual rider, or W, but Shotaro Hidari beat him to it.

"Bang!"

When Shotaro arrived at the scene, the police motorcycles were hit by the red wave emitted by the aging dopant.

With a double-sided body and a tribal totem-like symbol on its head, this hybrid is unlike any other individual and is of a very high level.

"Philip!"

Shotaro shouted as he put on the Dual Driver, called out to his partner who was staying at the base, and quickly activated the Ace Memory to transform.

Because of W's unique nature, the other user can complete the combined transformation even if they are not nearby, but this time it seems that something went wrong.

Although the base partner activated the Gale Memory, it did not transfer to Shotaro Hidari as usual.

"Strange, what's going on?"

The boy looked at the Gale Memory in his hand with a shocked expression.

Failed.

This has never happened before.

I can't understand...

"Whoosh!"

At the bridge arch, Shotaro seemed unaware of anything amiss and continued transforming as planned.

Because a Gale Memory has been inserted into the dual drive at the waist.

It wasn't until he finished putting on the W suit that Shotaro suddenly paused.

"You're not Philip? Who are you?!"

The intense sense of unfamiliarity caused a huge panic to rise in Shotaro's heart, and he couldn't even control his knight body.

"Hey, Philip! What's going on?"

"I don't know," the boy swallowed hard. "It seems to be another Gale Memory... but there's no reason for that. Even if there is a second Gale Memory, it should be the two of us transforming."

"What are you two standing there for?"

The police motorcycles, caught in a fierce battle, couldn't help but shout out in reprimand.

Although the wave attack from the dopant didn't seem to have much effect, it still put a lot of strain on his body.

You can't solve the problem on your own.

"And what's his identity this time?"

With his mind in control, Xia Chuan raised his hands in a deep voice as his eyes flashed.

It turned out to be W, and the one who provided the consciousness among them.

So where did his body go?

This time, he came in his true form.

"Why isn't my wave working?" The aging dopant bypassed the police riders who weren't reacting much, and angrily continued to release red waves, wrapping them around W's feet head-on.

"Whoosh!"

Before Xia Chuan could think too much, the knight suddenly lost his balance, the W suit disappeared and disintegrated, and the transformation was forcibly canceled.

"It hurts! My body is out of control!"

Shotaro struggled in pain and fell to his knees. In an instant, his hair turned completely white, and his appearance aged rapidly.

"What exactly is this...?"

"This guy's ability is aging; those attacked will have their lifespan shortened by 50 years."

Natsukawa's voice rang in Shotaro's ears.

"But why didn't I return to my own body?"
