Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 295 Arrival

"I'm going to fight!"

"I don't want to see anyone shed a tear because of these guys anymore!"

"I hope everyone has a smile on their face!"

"So please look carefully..."

"My transformation!"

"Kuuga!"

……

Nagano Prefecture.

Archaeology Research Laboratory, Shinano University.

Most of the artifacts excavated from the Kurotake site were transferred to the site's archives, and with the assistance of experts from Tokyo, the restoration work was finally completed successfully.

Kaoru followed the ancient script scholar Sakurako Sawatari into the exhibition area. Facing the assembled stone walls, an indescribable feeling overwhelmed her.

"That's truly amazing, they actually managed to organize so much stuff."

"Yes, the more you organize it, the more amazing it becomes."

Sakurako Sawatari led the way to Collection Room No. 2.

"Below the initial ruins, new ruins were discovered, where the true thing suppressed was not the Gurongi, but something else entirely."

"Something else?" Kaoru Ichijo, who was examining the ancient script on the stone tablet, turned around in surprise. "Are those guys afraid of something too?"

From the discovery of the ruins to joining the Unidentified Life Form Countermeasures Headquarters and continuing the fight to this day, his impression of the Grongi is that they are a bunch of lunatics.

They treat killing as a game and have no idea what fear is.

"Is it Zero?" Kaoru Ichijo suddenly thought of the news he had heard recently, which seemed to indicate that a large number of Gurongi had been slaughtered by the first individuals.

"It's unclear what they're afraid of, but they're probably not number zero."

Sakurako Sawatari turned off the lights, and she and Kaoru Ichijo put on their dark vision devices at the same time, and walked to a stone coffin in the middle, which was illuminated by red light.

"This is what was sealed at the bottom. The writing on it looks very similar to the previous writing, but it is actually Gurongi script."

"Gurongi script?" Kaoru Ichijo had seen the dark patterns covering the sarcophagi with his own eyes. "What exactly does it mean?"

"They're probably curses or something; the writing itself is blood."

Sakurako Sawatari removed the dark vision device, turned the lights back on, and casually accessed the organized data on her computer.

"The only things we can barely decipher so far are descriptions like 'Kikiru Game' and 'Ultimate Darkness,' which seem to suggest a mixture of anger and fear."

"How so?"

"Despite the numerous blood-written words, the inside of the stone coffin is remarkably well-preserved. To this day, we still don't know what's inside. If all else fails, we'll have to force it open..."

"It's best not to act rashly. The one sealed inside is most likely a Gurongi," Kaoru Ichijo interrupted thoughtfully. "Those guys outside are troublesome enough already. It's better to decipher all the text first."

"That's true."

Sakurako Sawatari let out a soft sigh, smiled helplessly, and turned to ask.

"Officer, I heard that the Kamen Rider that appeared in Tokyo looks a lot like Godai. Is that true?"

"Yes," Kaoru Ichijo nodded, looking at the stone coffin. "Their identities are still uncertain, and the higher-ups are considering how to deal with it."

"Them? Are there many?"

"There are four people in total, but it is said that there is a captain who has not yet appeared."

A wisp of smoke moved one step closer to the stone coffin.

"Miss Sawatari, did the sarcophagus shake just now?"

"No."

"No, it sounds like there's something."

With a serious expression, Ichijo Kaoru pulled out a pistol before Sawatari Sakurako could respond.

"Back off quickly..."

"Whoosh—!"

The stone coffin, which had been relatively calm, suddenly burst open with countless glowing cracks, and the entire research lab warehouse was enveloped in intense light. In the dim light, Kaoru seemed to see a red figure of Kuuga.

"What's inside..."

The bright light vanished in an instant, and by the time the two realized what had happened, the stone coffin had already crumbled into pieces scattered all over the ground, and its interior was completely empty.

"What happened, Officer Ichijo?" Sakurako Sawatari ran to the remains of the sarcophagus, looking rather bewildered. "How could this have happened so suddenly?"

"I don't know either, but..."

Xun looked around blankly.

"I think I just saw number 4, but Godai is still in Tokyo... Could it be the ancient number 4? No, that belt entered Godai's body..."

"Could there be other belts?" Sakurako Sawatari asked uncertainly. "It wouldn't be surprising if multiple belts were made to protect the Rindo people."

"Anyway, I'll leave this to you. I need to get back to Tokyo as soon as possible."

Kaoru put away her pistol and ran out of the research lab, her mind heavy with worries.

If they were truly the ancient warriors of Linduo described in the Five Dynasties, that would be understandable; modern humans can also be considered Linduo.

They are on the same side, at least when it comes to dealing with the Gurongi.

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Perhaps it was because of the blood-written curse on the stone coffin that he always felt uneasy.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck the sky over Nagano, thunderclouds rolled in, and soon a torrential downpour began.

Natsukawa Kuuga's figure was exposed in the rain as he watched Kaoru Ichijo drive away from the top of the research building.

Inside the sarcophagus was only a damaged Kuuga belt, which was fully restored after his arrival.

"This world..."

Xia Chuan gazed at the hazy mountains in the distance, quickly absorbing the information he had acquired from the copy.

The Knights World may contain countless parallel universe instances, but there will always be only one that is cleared first, and that instance will become the core of all these instances, developing just like the normal universe.

This is probably why the alliance sees those who clear the game as a thorn in their side.

Perhaps the title of "Lord of the World" is related to obtaining the right to participate in the Knights Challenge, or perhaps it involves something the League is looking for.

Thinking of the data that his former teammate Taki Akihisa had cracked, Xia Chuan hesitated for a moment and did not continue to investigate.

Regardless, the most important thing now is to defend the instance.

We can't let those aliens succeed even if it rots in our own hands.

"First, deal with the Gurongi."

After quickly determining his direction, Xia Chuan looked through the thunderstorm into the distant dense forest.

For him, Daguba was an old character; he had already seen the Gurongi tribe twice.

Giving the training opportunity to RX is fine, but the Kikiru game will definitely have to be canceled.

He didn't watch these guys' penchant for slaughtering humans, even though this was just a replica world that could be restarted.

……

"Splash!"

In an underground cave somewhere in Kurogake, rainwater trickles in along with fallen leaves, and a faint light shimmers deep within.

Baluba wore a white dress that resembled a wedding gown, with a white veil fluttering behind her in the howling wind.

"Long time no see, Baluba," a clear laugh echoed from the darkness. "All those without power have been wiped out. Kigil will be finished soon, won't he?"

"Daguba..."

Baluba stood silently in place, briefly lost in thought and confusion before regaining her cold expression. She glanced at the darkness and then turned and walked out of the cave.

She is Baluba, but not the Baluba clone.

Like Xia Chuan, it was projected into this world.

The most important task, of course, is to find Xia Chuan first.

In comparison, dark games are meaningless.

"Huh?" A laugh, tinged with curiosity, came from the darkness. "You seem to have gotten stronger, Baluba. Can you make things even more fun for me during the finals?"

"No interest. The world isn't as simple as you think."

Baluba frowned and disappeared into the wind and rain.

During her two years in this world, she did not stagnate; the power of the spirit stones was greatly enhanced.

Although still not as good as Daguba, he wasn't that afraid.
