Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 349 Invincible Player 2

This world square.

Sakurai Keikazu stood pale-faced outside the enclosed game area, as players continued to gather around him.

After the time stop was lifted, the players who were blocked outside could choose to enter, but not a single player tried.

The silent plaza seemed to harbor a gigantic maw, devouring lives; the players who had participated in the game remained silent.

One of the players who had quit early nervously explained to Hiroko Asami and her group, "When I came out, the legendary knight was fighting with Gulafat, and I don't know what happened after that..."

"Boom!"

The square, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly shook, and an electric current exploded out of nowhere, covering the entire area.

Hiroko Asami's heart tightened, and she hurriedly led everyone out of the plaza area.

"Danger!"

"Hurry up!"

"Sizzle—!"

The game world suddenly collapsed and dissipated to everyone's astonishment, and faintly visible inside were players such as Chronos and the invincible Exid in the center of the battlefield.

"That is..."

"Crimson Lotus Bursting Sword!"

"Bang!"

Dan Masamune paid no attention to the disappearing game domain. His eyes were only on the figure of the invincible player Xia Chuan, who was shrouded in golden light. Like a gambler who had lost everything, he concentrated all his power into the God's Blade and roared as he made his final sprint.

"I am the judge of fate! I am invincible!!"

"roar--!"

A long, red flame dragon, even more terrifying than Gulafat's finishing move, roared out and engulfed Xia Chuan and all the players.

"Let's make them all out of print!"

"call!"

Behind Xia Chuan, the invincible player's long metal braid flew wildly, and not only his right foot, but his entire battle suit was converging its energy under the impact of the Crimson Fire Dragon.

The invincible domain covers and surpasses the legendary domain, and the entire field is sucked in like a vortex of energy storm.

After the Chronicles game came to life, the superpower level remained at 5, and all abilities were enhanced.

Originating from Kuuga, the originally unremarkable "Energy Absorption" skill merged with the invincible player, temporarily becoming a combat skill.

The Crimson Fire Dragon, which was about to devour the players behind it, howled and flowed backward in mid-air, transforming into vortexes and disappearing completely from the invincible players' bodies.

Xia Chuan felt that he had underestimated Dan Masamune.

Unlike the characters in the game, Dan Masamune would probably be a level 6 knight or higher in this world, and he has brought the power of Chronos and the game god to an astonishing degree.

If it's a fully-powered god in the game, even an invincible player might not be able to contend with it.

At least for now, Emu Hojo's body is not strong enough to fight against the God of Games.

"Whoosh—!"

Feeling a slight cracking pain in his body, Xia Chuan stopped increasing his energy. The invincible player's figure turned into a blur and teleported out in sync with Chronos to attack.

The fiery energy erupted once more, briefly freezing Chronos, which had burned everything, before disintegrating like shards of glass and scattering into a jumble of data.

The space was left with only the uncontrolled spread of green and black currents.

Even Dan Masamune, the one who underwent the transformation, was unable to leave any trace.

"A perfect victory!"

"Um?"

Xia Chuan landed on his feet and looked at the fluttering green and black data with a puzzled expression.

His attack shouldn't be enough to eliminate Dan Masamune as well; even if the opponent is eliminated, he will first break free of his transformation.

Moreover, the main cartridge for "Chronicles" was also lost.

"Clang!"

Xia Chuan picked up a "Chronos" Knight card formed by converging points of light between his fingers.

It seems that Dan Masamune was transferred along with the game god's data at the last minute.

A cunning fellow.

The skill I just used with all my might seems to have been just a feint.

But if that's the case, even if he survives, he won't be Dan Masamune anymore, right?

Unlike merging with the power of the game god, Dan Masamune essentially sacrificed himself to the game god.

"Click!"

Natsukawa pulled out two game cartridges, and the Invincible Player Suit, along with its domain, turned into golden light and scattered. He turned back to face the many players who were waiting with great anticipation as "Hosho Emu".

There are only two higher-level bosses left: "Pallard" and Poppy, who has gained the ability to transform.

The latter is easy to say, but how do you obtain the "Palad" clearance certificate?

Killing oneself?

Troublesome.

Xia Chuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

He could give up his "Parad" identity to indirectly complete the game, but Emu Hojo would no longer be able to transform into an invincible player, and it would even be questionable whether he could transform into a normal Exid.

Emu Hojo in this world is not the protagonist of "Exide".

"Are you still Emu Hojo?"

Master Izama and the others walked past the unconscious players scattered on the ground, keeping a safe distance from Natsukawa.

"What about Chronos? Has he been successfully defeated yet?"

"Chronos was never intended to be a romanceable character; she was merely a marketing ploy by the company president to attract players."

Captain 01 led his team out of the crowd, and after surveying the scene, said in a cold voice.

"The one who should really be defeated is this guy, the superior Collapse Entity boss Palad, whose body was taken over by Emu Hojo... Unfortunately, it was too late. We should have been the ones to work with the legendary knight Chronos to eliminate him."

"Captain Fei, what are you up to now?" Master Yuzawa frowned, scrutinizing the members of Team 01. "Regardless of whether he is Hosho Emu or not, he completed the previous stages..."

"You really think a higher-level Origin Entity will help the player? An Origin Entity is just an Origin Entity; all the previous playthroughs were just for its own sake to become the strongest!"

Captain 01 reached out to draw the attention of all the players, and even the Alliance forces that were sealing off the area nearby looked over at the players.

"Wake up, everyone! Regardless of your thoughts, only by eliminating him can we enter the final round of the Chronicles!"

"boring."

Xia Chuan scanned the entire scene, gave Captain 01, who was stirring up the players' emotions, his eyes flashing red, and then directly left Hojo Emu and returned to the game space.

It's not that he looks down on these players.

Even when he transforms using Emu Hojo's body, he remains invincible.

Even bringing in RX wouldn't help.

The Chronicles is still running, and now it's Game Knights' turn to shine.

The level 5 superpower alone is enough to give these guys a run for their money.

"Huh?"

Baosheng Yongmeng snapped out of his daze and opened his eyes to find himself tightly surrounded by knight players and alliance troops who were on high alert.

Many people are transforming and summoning weapons, and it doesn't seem like a joke.

"W-What's going on?"

With a forced smile, he looked back and, finding no other targets, broke out in a cold sweat. Hesitantly, he pointed to himself.

"Are you guys mistaken? I'm not the boss, just a rare character. Do you really need this many people to intervene?"

His last impression was that he was possessed by "Pallard".

The other party caused trouble and just ran away. Didn't you think about helping them clean up the mess?

People will die...

"Are you Hojo Emu or Parad now?" Michonne Agasa stopped the player beside him who was about to attack.

"Of course I am myself."

Emu Hojo's mind flashed with images of the Chronos Realm, and his gaze briefly wavered. Fortunately, the players did not continue to approach, and the senior knights tacitly blocked Team 01, who were still looking for trouble.

"Are you going to protect him?" Captain 01 took out a zombie cassette and made a move to activate his domain.

"Enough, Captain Fei!" Hiroko Asami entered the scene with a cold face. "This isn't a game world. Do you still want to break the league's rules?"

"I just want to finish Chronicles as soon as possible and bring back those who have disappeared."

Captain 01's expression changed as he put away the cassette tape, his gaze turning somber as he looked at Hojo Emu, who had his head bowed.

"Hey kid over there, if you still care about those people's lives, then give up your game qualification and hand over the transformation system! Otherwise, you'll never be able to complete the higher levels of the game, and those people will never come back!"

Hosho Emu's eyes narrowed sharply.

give up?
