Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 280 Utopia, Museum Destruction

"Bang!"

The depths of the underground ruins were dark, with only a few rays of light emanating from the Well of Earth.

Although the collapse has stopped, the entire cave is buried under soil and rocks, and all the exits are sealed off. What lies before Xia Chuan are layers of rock walls and boulders.

Unable to transform into a memory on the Earth Well side, Natsukawa could only turn his attention to the second Fang Bat who followed him.

In the darkness, the shuttle's bright light shone, but before the belt could fully materialize, the reflections of knight cards appeared, seemingly about to connect with the Decade belt in another location.

"Snapped!"

Xia Chuan promptly broke through the mirror image and retracted the shuttle.

He did want to find the Decade belt, but he didn't expect to expose himself as well.

There is practically no information available about the Fujiwara Group at present.

The only person I've ever had contact with is the young assistant who transforms into Decade Kabuto in this world.

"Kaminari," the second Fang Bat turned to Natsukawa in a muffled voice after his unsuccessful attempt to ram the rock wall, "Should we summon that dragon?"

"No."

Xia Chuan raised his head again, and in addition to Jia Tou Shun, Zuo Xiang Taro's figure also came into view.

"Please take good care of yourself."

"What?"

"Whoosh!"

As the white space descended, Xia Chuan once again separated his consciousness and entered the Earth Library.

The 80% matching rate is different from before. Although I still can't touch the books, I can now perform basic searches. Rows of bookshelves are constantly being reorganized and eliminated according to Xia Chuan's will, and finally only the relevant information involving the Fujiwara Foundation is floating in front of me.

This world is indeed the stronghold of the Fujiwara Group.

Unfortunately, we can only watch helplessly.

"Could it be... that you are Shinji Kaminaga?"

Philip walked into the white space in a daze, looking at Xia Chuan with incomprehension.

"But what are you doing here? This place..."

"I'm so glad to finally see you."

Xia Chuan pointed to the search results next to him.

"Could you help me read this part of the content?"

This boy's authority is second only to the future Sonozaki Wakana, so it's worth a try.

Even if the other party knew about the existence of the Fujiwara Foundation, it wouldn't have any particular impact.

Judging from the current developments, the Fujiwara Group has not yet intervened in the storyline in Fuuto.

"Why should I help you?" Philip asked warily. "Tell me first, what is your purpose in getting close to Shotaro? Is it to collect W data or...?"

"Does collecting data have to be this complicated? You don't have anything I'd covet."

"Why is that?"

Philip became increasingly alarmed.

There was no matching information for Xia Chuan in the Earth Library. Even when standing right in front of him, he seemed to be a great distance away, as if he were facing a higher life form on another level.

"Just consider it as me needing this information; I need to know all the details recorded in it."

Xia Chuan stepped back, transforming into data and leaving the white space.

At the same time.

outside world.

Standing on the ruins of the collapsed Sonozaki family home, the Utopia Dopant couldn't help but let out a hoarse laugh after confirming that there was no movement below.

The museum's demon king brought about his own destruction, so it's a good time to replace the ruler with Sonosaki Saeko.

"Very good, Ms. Saeko and I will continue the Gaia Impact Project."

"It's you?!"

Wearing the dual driver, Shotaro Sato rushed into the ruins amidst the flames and heat of the explosion.

He briefly shared Xia Chuan's vision when the Earth's light burst forth, and the Utopia Dopant that Jia Tou Shun transformed into was not entirely unfamiliar.

"Where's Kaminari?" Shotaro looked nervously at the surrounding rocks.

There was no more of the terrifying mental interference as before.

The once magnificent Sonozaki family mansion and the museum connected to it have become history.

However, the underground exit was also completely destroyed.

It is almost impossible to survive under such circumstances.

The dual-drive system did not respond at all.

Shotaro's voice trembled: "Kaminaga...didn't he escape?"

"You're the imposter's partner?"

The Utopia Dopant turned to Shotaro with his hands behind his back, his voice returning to its calm state.

"Looking for death? Perfect, I'll send you down to join him!"

"Bang!"

A fireball was suddenly fired. Shotaro, who had to react hastily, only had time to turn around and roll to avoid the explosion. When he turned around, he saw Utopia raising its hand to attack.

Flame projectiles appeared out of thin air, followed by a violent tornado.

The Utopia Memory is unique even among the Gold Memory, and is known as the "King of Memory". In addition to turning the opponent's abilities into its own, it can also freely manipulate various natural attribute powers.

Earth fissures, lightning, tornadoes, and air manipulation that can create fields.

"This guy..."

"Bang! Bang!"

Shotaro rolled over and hid behind the collapsed rock wall, wiped the blood off his face, and subconsciously reached for the Ace Memory, only to realize that he no longer had the ability to transform into W.

If only he could have realized it sooner, overcome his fear of the memory's power, and entered the Sonozaki family sooner...

"If only it had happened earlier, Kaminari wouldn't have..."

"Bang--!"

The rock wall shattered and flew away, completely exposing Shotaro to Utopia's attack.

"it's over."

Utopia gave a cold laugh and once again unleashed a terrifying whirlwind mixed with flames.

He wouldn't even need to use his hands to deal with an ordinary person.

Shotaro Hidari was not on the museum's list of subjects to begin with, and now, with the appearance of the Gale Speed ​​Limit W, he has completely lost his research value.

"He's just a piece of trash..."

"call--!"

The fiery whirlwind engulfed Shotaro's figure, and his white top hat was blown off and set ablaze. However, the expected screams did not occur. Instead, the whirlwind was pushed apart and shattered.

Despite being engulfed in flames, Shotaro remained unharmed.

"This feeling?"

"Kaminaga?"

Shotaro's gaze froze, and an invisible barrier of psychic power blocked all impacts, even extinguishing the flames on his white top hat, which began to fall back down.

"It's not too late now, Shotaro."

Xia Chuan's consciousness possessed him, and he put his top hat back on, reaching out to grab the massive iron fist that Utopia was attacking with, following closely behind the whirlwind.

"Being able to overcome your fear is already quite an achievement."

"You bastard!"

Utopia exerts force with its arms.

Even though the barrier was gone, it still couldn't be shaken in the slightest.

"How is that possible?"

"It seems your only strength lies in superpowers."

Xia Chuan pushed Utopia away, and the two Gaia Memory chips were simultaneously activated and inserted into the dual driver in his waist.

"CYCLONE!" Gale.

"JOKER!" is the ace.

He casually pried open the side-by-side memory slots, and the data was fully loaded. The half-green, half-black W-suit was instantly donned.

Gale Ace Form.

"Sizzle!"

Despite the absence of the Limit Driver, the luminous green Limit Light flickered between the dual drivers, while at the same time, fuzzy data from the Utopia Dopant flooded into Xia Chuan's mind.

Originally, it should have connected to the Earth Library to obtain enemy data, but Xia Chuan's matching rate or synchronization rate is still a bit off.

Utopia cannot be fully understood yet.

Fortunately, we already have enough solid capabilities, so it doesn't matter whether we have detailed data or not.

"Is this the ultimate power?" In the Earth Library, Philip's mind simultaneously conjured up images of the battle.

It's just the Gale Ace form, but it has already reached the data of the Gale Acceleration Limit form.

As his expression shifted, Philip looked thoughtfully at the books and materials that Xia Chuan had searched for.

Besides the Sonozaki family and the X Foundation, there seems to be another truth about the world that he doesn't know.

"Bang--!"

The books in front of him seemed to possess some kind of magic, and an overwhelming sense of curiosity occupied Philip's mind.

The moment the finger was extended, before it even actually touched anything, the entire space turned a blinding red amidst a deafening roar.

"Oops!"

Having some experience, Philip hurriedly retreated, but it was too late.

The once calm white space collapsed and exploded as if it were the end of the world, throwing him directly out.

"Unable to read again!"

Secret base.

Alone, Philip regained consciousness, covered in sweat, panting heavily as if he had just finished a strenuous workout.

"Perhaps he is telling the truth."

Without taking a break, Philip quickly turned on the device to check the remote detection screen.

In just a short while, the battle inside the ruins of the Sonozaki family's house came to an end.

Utopia, who was skilled in close combat, was no match for Natsukawa.

Without the backdrop of various superpowers, Utopia is like a child in front of Xia Chuan.

"hateful!"

After missing his kick and being sent flying by Xia Chuan's heavy punch, Utopia angrily unleashed his superpowers again, only to be punched in the chest by Xia Chuan in the next instant.

Even with the armor protecting him, the transformed user, Jia Tou Shun, still felt immense pain, as if his body was being violently torn apart.

Neither its strength nor its speed can keep up with the current Swift Ace W.

"impossible!"

Despite the intense pain, Jia Tou Shun clenched his fist and attacked again with trembling arms, but his wrist was grabbed and he was forced to hug Xia Chuan tightly.

"Haha, you've fallen for it! Utopia can absorb the emotions of its opponents, and your power is mine too..."

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan shrugged his shoulders and threw another punch, sending Jia Tou Shun flying.

The knightly powers in this timeline seem to have a somewhat idealistic aspect.

The memory stores Earth's memories; the stronger the user's emotions, the greater the power it unleashes.

Therefore, mental memory types hold a special status. Sonozaki Ryubei, who possesses fear, is able to become the "Demon King," and Terui Ryu, burdened with deep hatred, has astonishing combat power...

It is essentially related to spiritual strength.

For humans, emotions are probably the easiest way to enhance spiritual strength.

The stronger the emotions, the stronger the mental strength will become.

Hatred is just the simplest option among them.

"How could this be?" Jia Tou Shun nearly snapped out of his transformation, yelling as he scrambled to his feet. "There's no reason you can't absorb it! Don't you have any feelings?"

"It's not that I don't have emotions, it's just that I don't rely on emotions."

Xia Chuan pulled out the Gale Memory and inserted it into the special attack slot on his waist. Green whirlwinds surrounded his legs, and then he took a blast step, kicking through the Utopia chest armor in a ring of sonic booms.

"Bang--!"

Cyclone! Maximum Drive!

A swift wind is sure to kill.

"Hmm!"

Jia Tou, dripping with fresh blood, fell onto the rubble, coughing as he quickly created a gust of wind and fled the scene.

"Not dead?"

Xia Chuan found the scene of the dark red bloodstains, where only a strange arm that was rapidly disintegrating and collapsing remained.

In fact, Gaia Memory is just one of the projects sponsored by Foundation X.

There is also a type of modified warrior known as the Undead.

It seems that Jia Tou Shun is also one of them.

The attack just now was not enough to destroy the undead.

"Ahem!"

Room at Fengdu Hotel.

Jia Toushun stumbled and found a bottle of injection solvent. The Utopia Memory was not destroyed, but his body was severely injured. His left arm was severed at the root, and the huge gap in his chest even revealed his heart.

"That bastard..."

After the solvent injection, Jia Toushun's body recovered rapidly, except that his face was completely bloodless.

"What happened here?" Saeko Sonozaki had just returned from outside when she saw the bloodstains all over the floor and her eyes narrowed sharply.

"I've lost this time," Jun Kato said with difficulty, his face expressionless. "But don't worry, Miss Saeko, I will make you the new leader of the museum, after all, your father is dead."

"Father is dead?"

Saeko Sonozaki staggered and retreated hastily, leaning against the wall.

"How could that be? My father is..."

"A strong fear memory does not mean your father was powerful."

Thinking of the image of Sonozaki Ryubei being swallowed by the green light, Kazuto Jun shook his head, barely regaining his composure as he looked out the window.

You can still see parts of the ruins of the Sonozaki family's house from the Futo Hotel.

"That imposter's strength exceeded my expectations, but I won't lose to him next time, I definitely won't!"

……

"call!"

Starfall Valley Ruins.

A loud crash echoed as Gale Ace W, carrying Natsukawa's main body, leaped out of the crater and returned to the surface.

As the dual-drive slots closed, the W suit was undressed amidst a whirlwind, revealing Shotaro's figure, and Natsukawa's consciousness returned to his body.

The Earth Library is experiencing issues and is temporarily inaccessible.

Ultimately, it's still a matter of insufficient permissions.

Natsukawa opened her eyes, sat up, and turned to face Sonozaki Wakana, who was watching from afar.

Mirai Saki Wakana does have a lot of authority, but she is, after all, from the future.

"Kaminaga!"

Shotaro turned his head and wiped his eyes, his eyes slightly moist, and reached out to pull Natsukawa up.

"Great, you really aren't the X-Men of the Foundation."

Xia Chuan glanced at Zuo Xiangtaro with surprise, but did not say anything to explain.

"Would it be convenient for me to stay here for one day? I don't think I can stay here anymore."

"Of course, any number of days is fine."

Shotaro smiled and nodded, then looked at the surviving members of the Sonozaki family, but his expression turned bitter.

"These people are..."

……

Narumi Detective Agency.

In the end, only Natsukawa and Sonozaki Wakana moved to the secret base, while the rest of the Sonozaki family were all dismissed.

Princess Wakana, beloved by the entire city of Fuuto, received a warm welcome. Only Philip didn't know how to face his former sister and didn't even dare to reveal his true identity.

"The museum was destroyed just like that..."

"So the root cause of this whole thing is the Earth Well going out of control?"

In the office, as Shotaro and his group pressed for details about the incident, Philip's expression immediately turned tense.

"That should be the case," Natsukawa glanced at Philip out of the corner of his eye, "I can say that I indirectly killed Sonozaki Ryubei."

"I don't blame you. He is indeed my father, but he is also the culprit behind the Gaia Memory incident."

Philip seemed a little downcast.

As members of the Sonozaki family, they found it somewhat difficult to accept this ending.

On the other hand, because the information about the Sonozaki family is still unavailable, and there are no memories of her family, her feelings are not as strong.

The dream of the family reuniting can never be realized...

"No, so everything was because of my father, Sonozaki Ryuhei. Now that it's all over, can't Mom and my sisters start over?" Philip asked hopefully.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Shotaro Zuo frowned as he spoke.

"Princess Wakana is alright, but Saeko Sonozaki has always been active as the person in charge of the museum. Although she has left the museum now, it seems that she is still plotting something in private..."

Then, Shotaro looked at Natsukawa and said, "When I was investigating Kato Jun's whereabouts, I found that Sonozaki Saeko used to stay at the Futo Hotel with Kato Jun, but now she is nowhere to be found. She must have been taken away by Kato Jun."
