Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 332 respectively

"What exactly is your purpose?"

Captain 01 squinted and scrutinized the enigmatic man in front of him.

He knew perfectly well that the other person was using him, yet he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

I traveled from the other side of the world across the ocean to this island nation for the final Knight Challenge, but I'm still stuck at level five, and my ranking on the leaderboard is neither high nor low.

This game instance is related to his advancement to level six, so he can't afford to be careless.

"The purpose?" Dan Masamune was lost in his own thoughts. "I'm tired of this world and want to shed my human identity. To achieve that, you need to complete all the games."

"That's all?"

Captain 01 felt that this guy either had something wrong with his head or just didn't want to tell the truth.

"No matter what, don't forget your promise to let me be the ultimate winner."

"certainly."

Tan Zhengzong hummed and turned to the computer screen.

There is no final winner in "Chronicles," and if there is one, it can only be him.

Because he will cause all challengers to fail in the game, and the data of those players will become the resources for his ascent to the realm of gods.

He will be more than just a game character then.

Rebuild the Dream Group in this time and space, and reign supreme over the world with the power of the Chronicles.

"Time is running out. The next game should be launched tomorrow. Let's get ready before then."

Tan Masamune slightly raised his eyelids.

"If you keep failing, I'll get really frustrated too. It's about time you showed your worth."

"I can give you the value right now."

Captain 01 walked to the door, then suddenly turned back and said.

"The user of Ex-Aid is very likely connected to that 'Ryuki'."

"Oh?"

Tan Zhengzong paused slightly, as if recalling some unpleasant memory.

"Hojo Emu, huh? Well then, here's another mission for you: find a way to eliminate that Parad in the game. As a reward, I'll provide you with maximum support, including but not limited to high-level game cartridges."

"So you really do know what's going on with Parad," Captain 01 said, sounding displeased.

"I didn't lie to you."

Tan Zhengzong calmly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

"It was supposed to be the strongest boss in the higher-level game, but it has been born ahead of schedule despite the restrictions. Although the specific reason is unknown, this kind of thing is absolutely forbidden. The good news is that it cannot transform now, so you have a chance to deal with it."

"The strongest boss at the higher level?"

Captain 01 was shaken to his core.

Judging from the current level 1 bosses, the higher-level ones are probably around level 99.

It's unimaginable how intense it is.

"By the way," Dan Masamune grinned, looking out the window, "the key to eliminating Parad is that Hojo Emu. That guy originally existed because of Hojo Emu."

"So, the person who cleared the 'Exploration Mission' might be Hojo Emu?" Captain 01 frowned again. "I'll keep an eye on him and won't let Parad continue to break the rules of the game."

"Waiting for your good news."

……

School Medical Office.

After being rescued and treated by Baluba, Takahashi Kazumi quickly regained consciousness. Seeing Asami Hiroko and the others surrounding her, she asked blankly, "Senpai, what happened to me...?"

"You were caught up in a game instance, but Sakurai and the others rescued you," Hiroko Asami said, pouring her a glass of hot water. "How are you feeling now?"

"I remember now," Takahashi Kazumi said, still shaken, "a monster claimed I was a princess and wanted to marry me!"

"..."

"Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now," Xia Chuan said as he left with Baluba. "We still need to figure out how to deal with the new students, since the Chronicles isn't a real knight system."

"Kaminaga!"

Hiroko Asami instinctively chased after the infirmary, called out once, but then didn't know what to say.

"Shin'en" clearly has its own secrets.

Thinking back to the first-generation shuttle that was sent out, and the Alliance's investigation into the shuttle for a period of time.

As someone with an intelligence background, she is now 8% certain that "Kaminari" is the target the Alliance is looking for.

The remaining 2% ​​are uncertain how "Kaminari" managed to deceive everyone, and even the Knight Rankings seem to have been cheated.

Asami Hiroko's eyes were complicated.

Even without Ultraman, "Kaminari" is still so special.

Sometimes she's confused about whether she prefers the "Kaminari" who once fused with Ultraman, or the "Kaminari" who is only half there now.

"What's wrong?"

Natsukawa sensed Hiroko Asami's intense inner turmoil and his heart skipped a beat.

Since they lived together, given Hiroko Asami's abilities, it was indeed difficult for her to completely hide certain aspects of the situation.

It seems we must master the ability to erase memories or protect against them as soon as possible.

The gap in life levels, the gap in civilization and technology... In this world today, human memories are no secret to those aliens; it's just a matter of whether they are willing to explore them.

Even if Hiroko Asami chooses to conceal it from her superiors, it will be useless. Once the aliens have their eyes on him, his situation will inevitably be exposed.

Hiroko Asami may be an elite among humans, but those aliens are not comedic characters in tokusatsu dramas. The gap between civilizations is not just in science and technology, but also in cognitive intelligence.

The Zarab aliens, who once caused chaos, studied humans very thoroughly. They quickly became familiar with human thought processes, easily manipulated national governments, and nearly triggered a human civil war that led to self-destruction. They also proved to humanity that eliminating civilization does not necessarily require force.

"Hiroko?" Natsukawa called out again, noticing his former teammate who was lost in thought.

"what?"

Hiroko Asami realized what was happening and hurriedly looked away, stammering.

"I may have to move out in a while; the Alliance has already built a new base."

Xia Chuan's expression shifted slightly.

To be honest, Hiroko Asami did say she was only staying temporarily, but too many things happened in between, so she has stayed until now.

Without realizing it, he had gotten used to Hiroko Asami's presence.

He had very mixed feelings about his former teammate who had always supported him and helped him obtain the shuttle to officially embark on the path of evolution.

It's impossible to say I don't like it.

Hiroko's prototype is the goddess "Masami Nagasawa" in his memory. She has become more charming as she gets older and is much prettier than when she was young.

only……

Human lifespan is too short.

Although he is 38 years old now, his life expectancy is 7000 years, and it may even continue to increase in the future.

Considering the nature of beings of light, living for tens or hundreds of thousands of years is quite normal. If he can reach the level of a legendary Ultraman, immortality is not impossible.

The path of evolution is destined to be lonely.

Even after becoming a life form of light, he still did not have the ability to grant ordinary humans immortality.

As for the Kamen Rider path, it doesn't seem to help increase lifespan, and many Rider systems even cost you life.

In my memory, the only knight who can live forever seems to be the protagonist in "Gaim" who ate the Golden Fruit and became a god.

Unfortunately, he knew even less about this show than about Ex-Aid, and had no idea what it was all about.

We haven't even found a trace of the "Gaim" timeline yet.

How to obtain the Golden Fruit, and whether there will be any side effects after eating it, are big questions.

Referring to the Black God in "Agito", even if one becomes a god after eating the Golden Fruit, one may still be confined to the world of knights.

"She's gone." Baluba's expression remained aloof as she waited until Hiroko Asami left before offering this reminder.

Even after living as a human for so long, Baluba still looked somewhat confused, feeling that Xia Chuan's figure seemed inexplicably lonely, as if he were facing the deep universe.

"How far have you gotten?" Xia Chuan asked, looking ahead.

The Gurongi have their own power system, with Ultimate Dagu corresponding to levels five to six.

If Baluba can break through to level six, it will be a great help to him.

"I still can't become the king," Baluba replied, bowing her head. "I want to go to Kuuga again."
