Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 350 The Impact of Game Disease

"What are you thinking? Hey, forget about Gulafat, let me out!"

"Don't go back on your word!"

Game space.

Dan Kuroto kept tapping the screen of the faulty second-generation driver, his expression extremely complicated.

He never expected that even the demigod Chronos would be so easily defeated.

Dan Masamune is no ordinary character.

Being an invincible player is impressive, but it still requires the user to bring it to the table.

"Next time, Dan Masamune will definitely be wary of you," Dan Kuroto cautiously probed. "Let me out, and I can help you hack into and obtain the Chronicles master cartridge..."

"Shut up."

Xia Chuan completely withdrew his gaze from the real world, his eyes thoughtfully turning to the Gurafat Collapse Source Virus preserved in his palm.

Thinking of the desperate battle between Gurafat and Chronos, he ultimately ignored Dan Kuroto's shouts and transferred the Collapse Virus into the 2nd Generation Fault Driver.

Although Gulagat is a villain, in this world, he is just a specially designed game life form, and in a sense, he sacrificed himself for him.

The data shouldn't be deleted like this.

"Let's keep it for now."

Xia Chuan raised his hand and put the second-generation faulty driver into the panel space. Instantly, Dan Kuroto's noisy shouts disappeared, and the lower world returned to peace.

After this incident is over, he will still shut down the game world. At that time, these game life forms will be separated from the real world and will not cause any impact.

Next, I need to figure out how to complete "Chronicles".

"Whoosh!"

Three brand-new cartridges appeared in Natsukawa's hands.

The most eye-catching item is the all-white "Vaccine" cartridge in the center, which is the game strategy cartridge that Dan Kuroto restored with all his might in order to gain his freedom.

"All-Round Doctor XX" Dual-Body Cartridge

The data comes from a game god virus antibody cultivated with an extremely low probability. It can eliminate the spread of the game god virus and significantly reduce the attributes of the game god.

However, given the current situation, it's unlikely that the strategy methods from the Exide storyline can be easily replicated, as Dan Masamune is certainly on guard.

Having the Chronicles master cartridge allows one to change settings; since Dan Masamune was able to transfer his own data, he must have other tricks up his sleeve.

Xia Chuan grabbed the other two cartridges.

The first one is level 100 "Exploring the Relics", the ultimate version of the hero in "Exploration Mission", possessing power beyond limits.

This cassette tape was kept in Tan Zhengzong's office and drawer, perhaps in preparation for using it to win over Uncle Face.

That guy can resurrect vanished humans in the form of Collapse Sources, making it easy for him to manipulate the image of a middle-aged man who has lost his son.

However, as the only level 100 cartridge, the fusion coefficient must be at least level 5 to control it. Otherwise, not being able to transform is a minor issue; the real problem is that one's will is compromised and one becomes a puppet.

Falling into his hands was a way of helping the middle-aged man resolve a crisis.

The last cartridge was a dual cartridge originally belonging to "Palad".

The design is somewhat unique, with a game wheel on top of the cartridge that allows you to choose between "Perfect Puzzle" and "Knockout Fighter," and you can transform into level 50 without any extra items.

If used in conjunction with the Player Driver, which is the Kamen Rider Belt used by Emu Hojo, the level will be raised to lv99, which is equivalent to fusing two game transformations.

Level 99, being the highest level initially set, would be considered an ultimate knight even in this world, so it's certainly not weak.

Unfortunately, for him now, even exceeding the limit at level 100 isn't enough, let alone level 99.

Its only value is probably as a substitute for Knight cards.

For now, only the invincible player and the game god Chronos are truly useful to him within the game system.

Xia Chuan frowned.

That's true, it seems those players can't handle level 99 either.

Should I increase the water level to lv50?

It's still pretty tough.

None of the players reached level 50.

Not going into the gaming field?

Fighting outside would allow knights from this world to participate, but it would also easily attract the attention of the alliance, making it inconvenient to tamper with things.

We can't really be ganged up on and beaten to death.

How can we make "Palad" leave the show in a reasonable way while retaining the character?

"Kaminaga!"

In the villa of this world, the second-generation Tooth Bat flapped his wings back and forth, anxiously shouting in the study.

"Come back quickly, something terrible has happened!"

"What's the big deal?"

Xia Chuan sensed the call, paused his thoughts, and left the game space.

"Hurry to the police hospital!" Fang Bat II urged Natsukawa urgently. "Hiroko just left a message saying that your student Haruto is dying!"

"Haruto?"

Xia Chuan's expression shifted slightly.

Haruto is a level six knight in this world, and he didn't participate in any higher-level games, so how could something have happened to him?

"I'll go check on the situation."

It was already afternoon when we arrived at the city hospital.

The disappearance of Dan Masamune did not alleviate the impact of the game disease.

The game virus continues to spread, and the sound of ambulance sirens echoes throughout the city. The streets and hospitals are filled with suffering patients with special conditions.

It didn't seem very serious, and it didn't disappear directly like other patients in the past, but the suffering it endured was much greater, with cries of agony rising and falling.

"The spread of gaming-related illness is expanding at an unprecedented rate. Citizens are advised to avoid going out and focus on rest to prevent other accidents caused by gaming-related illness..."

"There are no more hospital beds available!"

"We don't have enough manpower..."

"Doctor! Where's the doctor?"

"Mom, I feel so bad!"

"Cheer up, Ah Xiong, everything will be alright soon..."

"Sizzle!"

Natsukawa followed Takahashi Kazumi, who was on guard outside, into the hospital and scanned the chaotic corridor.

Because it's just a common game virus, it's not fatal for the time being; it just looks serious, not much different from a severe cold.

The real danger is actually the other problems caused by a sudden loss of control.

For example, a driver might cause a car accident due to a gaming addiction.

The worsening of their condition was a later development; at least it seems that Dan Masamune had no intention of letting these people disappear.

Xia Chuan sighed secretly in his heart.

He didn't really like this kind of scene.

It made him feel less and less human.

"It's just ahead!"

The ward was also crowded with people, and Haruto's bed had to be covered with a curtain.

Upon seeing Natsukawa, Asami Hiroko shook her head and asked, "His condition seems more serious than others. He said he wanted to see you one last time."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan looked inside the curtain.

Besides the same symptoms of gaming addiction, Haruto's body appears and disappears intermittently, as if he might vanish at any moment.

"Divine Mentor..."

Seemingly sensing the commotion, Haruto struggled to stay conscious despite the excruciating pain, his pale face revealing a stiff smile to Natsukawa.

"I tried to use magic to infiltrate the game's underlying world and destroy the game god, but I failed... Sorry, if I had been more careful..."

Xia Chuan walked to the bedside and noticed the magic ring that Haruto was clutching tightly.

The power of the Wizard Knights is truly amazing; they can even invade the game world.

Breaking the rules of the world is something even someone at level six or even level seven would find difficult to do.

"Mentor, I finally have my own dream," Haruto turned to look at the ceiling, his expression a mix of nostalgia and resentment, a tear sliding down his cheek. "If I could, I really don't want to die like this. I want to save this world..."

"Don't overthink it, you're not dead yet, are you?"

Xia Chuan looked away from the magic ring.

"Don't give up until the very last moment; you're not the only one who wants to save the world."

"My mentor is still the same as before," Haruto said with a wry smile as he loosened the magic ring. "This is the 'Witch Knight' time-space pass. I entrusted it to my mentor after I died. With this, my mentor can also become a true level six knight."
