Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 343 Legendary Knight Chronos

"when--!"

This world.

A fat man in a white suit with a flower in his chest was fleeing frantically through the street. Just as he was about to wipe his sweat, the scene around him suddenly distorted.

Day turns into night, and the scene transforms from an ordinary street into a fairytale town with a giant clock.

"This is... the gaming world!"

"call!"

The fat man in the white suit was sweating profusely as he swallowed hard and looked at the green knight figure walking across the fountain.

He is the only knight in the game who can fight against the final boss, the god of the game, and possesses all the abilities of "Chronicle".

Chronos.

"Da da!"

The green knight was fully revealed in the reflection of the fountain water.

He wore a black battle suit with a green and black lower half of a cape, and the Chronicles master cartridge was slanted into the blue-green Fault Driver 2 at his waist.

The upper body shoulder armor and head have green blade-shaped horns, giving it a similar feel to Ultimate Kuuga, but against the backdrop of the night, its aura is even more powerful than Ultimate Kuuga.

More like the final boss than a Kamen Rider.

"You bastard..."

The fat man in the white suit took a step back and, with a trembling voice, took out the previous generation purple faulty driver.

"Nurture!"

The transformation process of the Collapse Source Body begins, and the originally timid fat man quickly switches to the form of a pink monster.

The dating simulation game "Heartbeat Crisis".

Superior Collapse Source Entity, Eriga.

"Hmph, don't think I'm really afraid of you! As my fully evolved form, even the game administrator can't completely destroy me!"

"You're nothing but a commodity, yet you dare to oppose me, the manager."

Kronos stopped in his tracks, pressed the driver buttons with both hands, and the surrounding space-time froze.

All sounds suddenly disappeared.

"pause!"

Footsteps sounded again in the frozen moment.

The only one unaffected, Chronos coldly walked toward the Eriga Collapse Entity, which was maintaining an attack stance, and pressed the left button repeatedly.

"I hate disobedient children; you've lost your value as a commodity."

"Finishing Move!"

"Whoosh!"

A giant, luminous clock emblem appeared beneath Chronos's feet, its hands sweeping counter-clockwise and striking Erija.

Unlike the time stop indirectly controlled by Xia Chuan.

Kronos has no particular restrictions within its domain; it only slightly alters the state of the target at the moment of attack.

Even after an attack is launched, the target remains stationary.

"The final blow!"

Without looking back at the exploding Eriga Collapse Body under the finishing move, Chronos hummed and pressed the buttons on both sides of the driver to deactivate the time stop.

While continuing the game, Kronos pulled out the Chronicles main cartridge, revealing Masamune Dan's indifferent expression.

The gaming industry subsequently faded away and returned to the streets.

As for the Collapse Source Form Erija...

Characters who die during a time stop will be frozen in that moment of death forever.

This is also why he is not worried about losing control of the role.

"Heartbeat Crisis is now out of print!"

After checking the time on his wrist, Dan Masamune turned expressionlessly to his female assistant who was walking towards him from the side and tossed her the "Heartbeat Crisis" game cartridge he had just received.

"Has the next level of the game started?"

"Just as you predicted, Exide has become the biggest obstacle."

The female assistant, wearing high heels, pushed up her glasses, exuding a capable and efficient air. However, her expression suddenly changed after receiving the "Heartbeat Crisis" cassette tape.

"Poppy Blue Wave!"

After spinning around exaggeratedly on the spot, the female assistant transformed into a pink-haired Bobbi form in the game's lighting effects, changing her black office lady outfit into a colorful girly dress, and happily started dancing to the beat.

"Rest assured, I will eliminate any Kamen Riders who break the rules!"

"Arrange the release of the promotional video first."

Dan Masamune walked past Bobby toward the president's car.

"Now that we've got the Chronicles main cartridge, it's time to increase the number of players."

"learn!"

……

"Resurrect the vanished, the ultimate quest to capture the super rare character Chronos begins..."

"Tomorrow, one of the legendary warriors, Chronos, will appear in District 23. Defeat him to gain legendary power and become a hero who saves humanity!"

School villa.

Xia Chuan had just returned to reality when he received a city-wide push notification from the conglomerate X.

Unlike other Kamen Riders who are set as rare characters, Chronos is the power that players can obtain by collecting all the proofs to clear the game.

There is neither a need nor a way to create a strategy guide.

Tan Zhengzong's side is completely engaging in false advertising.

"Want to increase the number of players?"

When the first wave of gaming addiction broke out, many people disappeared directly from reality.

The number of people who want to revive these patients is not small; they are all potential players who just didn't qualify before.

He wasn't quite sure what Tan Masamune was thinking, but he knew that things couldn't go well if things continued like this.

Perhaps it's to become stronger?

After all, the current Dan Masamune is no longer the one from the Exide world, and he must also want to change his fate.

Xia Chuan took her water glass and walked to the window.

"Chronos..."

The game has moved from the instance to reality, giving knights of this world the opportunity to participate.

Is it really a good thing?

Even he couldn't handle the situation head-on when it came to time-stopping in the gaming world.

Chronos's combat strength is not too bad; it's estimated to be roughly equivalent to a level six knight in this world at most.

The biggest problem is still time stop.

The other party can do too many things during the time stop.

There are only two ways to become immune to Kronos time stop.

One method he had another superior, Gulafat, try was to fuse the game god virus.

Another option was to have Dan Kuroto produce the lv99 "Extreme Extraordinary X" cartridge and the final "Super Invincible" cartridge.

Combining the two cartridges allows Exid to become an invincible player, completely overwhelming Chronos.

He was prepared to try both methods, the only thing he lacked was time.

Having Gulafat merge with the game god virus was a way to buy time for the second method.

If he ultimately fails, he will have no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

It's true that his time stop has limitations, but it is still a time stop after all.

If he finds an opportunity to launch a surprise attack first, Dan Masamune won't even have a chance to transform.

However, for him, directly intervening was not a good option.

Unlike the previous young agent in white, Tan Zhengzong is now under a lot of scrutiny.

"Click!"

Natsukawa took out the second-generation faulty driver, and Dan Kuroto, who was still listless, seemed to have given up and resigned himself to his fate.

"Come out, Dan Masamune has become Chronos. Let me see your worth."

"Whoosh!"

"Haha! Finally free! How dare you imprison me, the administrator, you fools! Did you really think I would help you..."

In the villa's study, after being released, Dan Kuroto solidified his form within the data light stream. Just as he was about to move away and escape, he was targeted by the malfunctioning driver, and his rampant laughter came to an abrupt halt.

Because it's a reward for completing the game, it seems that he and Xia Chuan are now bound together by the second-generation fault driver, and it can be taken back at any time.

How could this happen?

Is the administrator only rewarding players with game characters?

"Calm down! I was just joking..."

Dan Reito chuckled awkwardly, gesturing for Natsukawa to relax while observing his surroundings with his eyes. His gaze narrowed as he looked through the window at the student knights coming and going.

"Kamen Rider? Where am I? And who are you? Where's Parad?"

After focusing his gaze, Dan Kuroto scrutinized Natsukawa with a serious expression and finally realized something was wrong.

"Wait...you're Parad?"

Sensing the familiar aura emanating from Natsukawa, and glancing at the second-generation fault driver held in Natsukawa's hand, Dan Kuroto's eyes widened, but before he could speak, he covered his mouth in a cold sweat.

It seems they've discovered some incredible secret.

It's over.

This time I'm really doomed!
