Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 354 The Last Superior Boss

The next day.

Alliance Special Crime Response Division.

With Hiroko Asami by his side, Natsukawa bailed out Emu Hosho.

"Thank you for your help, Hiroko."

"It's alright. Putting aside the fact that that guy's death has nothing to do with Baosheng, even if it did, I can cover it up."

Hiroko Asami viewed Eimu Hosho as a junior, offering him much encouragement.

She harbors a deep hatred for Team 01; if it weren't for league regulations and the fact that she couldn't beat them, she would have taught those bastards a lesson long ago.

"However, you should also be careful about the fact that a level 5 knight was killed without any resistance."

Hiroko Asami turned her gaze to Natsukawa, a hint of worry in her eyes.

The existence of uncontrollable Level 5 Knight Killers is not good news for the knights currently on the leaderboard.

The league rules don't have much binding force on this kind of role.

Now is precisely the time when the Chronicle is entering a critical stage, and one wrong move could overturn the situation.

If "God's End" could intervene...

"Have there been any foreign visitors recently? Especially from Country A?" Natsukawa understood Hiroko Asami's gaze and calmly shifted his attention to ask the question.

"Foreign visitors?"

Hiroko Asami raised her eyebrows in confusion, sensing that Natsukawa seemed to be implying something.

"If it's Country A, there was a big shot from their headquarters. Dan Masamune even received them, but I don't know where they went afterward... What? Is there a problem?"

"I'm just a little curious. I've heard that sea voyages are extremely expensive, yet people still come all the way from Country A."

Xia Chuan had some vague guesses.

When the space fog descends, the most affected are the various maritime nations, and the more isolated their geographical environment, the more dangerous it becomes.

Country A and Australia are no exception, and due to the distance, even civilian exchanges have been completely cut off.

Even ordinary people are unwilling to take risks, let alone important figures.

That special visitor may very well have used alien technology.

I've heard that there are very few dungeons in Country A, and they're all controlled by the Alliance. The Knight system is basically all independently developed, and the technology is exceptionally advanced.

Perhaps country A has already completely fallen into the hands of aliens.

"Do you need me to investigate?" Hiroko Asami pulled Natsukawa aside and said mysteriously, "The area above was sealed off after that. I think that person is up there..."

"Don't do anything reckless."

Xia Chuan quickly changed the subject.

He wasn't confident he could deal with the alien alliance, and if something happened to Hiroko Asami, he might not be able to save her in time.

Furthermore, it's not advisable to create unnecessary complications before resolving the trial warning left by Zoffy.

When the trial officially begins, we might have to make use of these aliens.

What I need to do now is to become stronger and stronger, and become a true Ultraman.

"Let's go."

Looking up at the floor where Tan Masamune used to work, Natsukawa narrowed his eyes and left with Hosho Emu.

Hopefully, this visitor is a Knight from the 01 system.

"God's Eternal Mentor!"

Emu Hojo, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly stopped.

"If... if eliminating another version of yourself is the only way to save everyone's lives, mentor... what would you choose?"

"That depends on who is more important and whether there are other options."

Xia Chuan did not turn around.

Which do you think is more important?

"I……"

Hojo Emu's face showed struggle as the image of "Palad" flashed through his mind, and he recalled the tragic scene he had witnessed in the hospital.

Although he was tricked by "Pallard" several times and had no specific memories of the transformation, he could feel "Pallard's" goodwill.

Regardless of the purpose, "Pallard" did protect him and the other players.

He could be considered a companion.

But resurrecting the vanished and saving everyone's lives... it seems there's no other way.

Defeating the boss to clear the game is a game setting that cannot be changed.

"I have no idea."

Emu Hosho raised his head in anguish, only to find that Natsukawa had already walked away.

"No matter which is more important, there's simply no choice."

……

Game space.

Xia Chuan grabbed the double cartridges and spun the dial to activate "Perfect Puzzle".

As the game's start screen launched and the game area unfolded, a mirrored light screen appeared in front of Xia Chuan, automatically completing his outfit.

Kamen Rider Paradox, Puzzle Player LV50.

It shares many similarities with ordinary knight players, such as being based on a prototype character, but with a special form and abilities far exceeding those of ordinary knight players.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan raised his hands to manipulate the puzzle pieces, stepping into the game's light screen accompanied by dazzling rays.

The next moment, the originally peaceful real world was suddenly enveloped by a stream of data light, and a large number of game props appeared on the streets and alleys.

The gaming world directly overlaps with reality, and there's no option to change the scene, which suits him perfectly.

The player doesn't have many knight cards to collect, so his goal from the beginning is to collect knights from this world.

"Game start!"

Near the Alliance building, players who were looking for upgrades to regular Collapse Sources all stopped what they were doing, and game notifications popped up above their heads at the same time.

"It's Palad!"

"The final, superior game has begun!"

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan flicked the puzzle pieces with his fingers, and the coin-shaped game props around him were attracted to each other. After they were matched and merged one by one, they flew closer and waited to be used.

Unlike items created by players in the game world.

Because of the unique gameplay of "Perfect Puzzle", players can freely manipulate all matter within the game area and turn it into items.

Despite being a high-level boss, he acts more like a player than a player.

It's the kind where the level completely crushes the opponent.

Xia Chuan turned his gaze to the Alliance Building, calmly observing the many familiar faces that were gradually surrounding it.

"Transform!"

"Hyperform—!"

Maya Kimishima, *OZ*, Kamen Rider Denki.

Michiru Agasa, "Extreme Fox", Kamen Rider Bull.

Konan, from "Blade," Kamen Rider Crossbowman.

and also……

Natsukawa glanced in surprise at Kondo Isami, who was dressed in a suit and was following behind Konan.

This guy finally decided to leave the hospital.

It's barely enough to make up the numbers.

Are there no other knights?

Xia Chuan continued to scan the crowd.

There were fewer types of knights than he had expected; there were only a handful of magic knights and fox-type desire knights, and the Showa knights were also pitifully few.

RX didn't show up.

And then there's Goto, the middle-aged man, who, as one of only two game riders currently available, has also not been seen.

"Fine, let's leave it at that."

Xia Chuan stopped waiting, reached out and merged with the enhancement item, and took the initiative to meet the knight army led by Daoist Agasa and his companions.

The number of Knight Cards can indeed increase the Driver Limit, but if it's just a bunch of weak cards, it doesn't really have much of an impact.

A main rider and a second rider are enough to be effective. At most, you can collect a third or fourth rider. Unless it's a special rider like the Eternal Rider in "W", there's no need to spend time acquiring others.

"Be careful!"

For no reason, Master Gasai's heart was pounding. Even though he had transformed into the Overlord Bull and was surrounded by a large number of knights, he still felt no sense of security.

"Retreat now!"

"Bang--!"

In the Civic Park, not far from the Alliance Building, before he could shake off his gloom, he heard a loud commotion behind him.

"What's wrong?"

Upon noticing several knight players heading towards the Alliance Building, Emu Hojo's expression changed slightly.

Already started?

He's overthinking it.

Even without him, this battle would still have been unavoidable.

Players must defeat the final boss in order to complete "Chronicle".

"Run!"

"Pallard is coming!"

Before Emu Hojo could catch up, more Rider players suddenly ran back from the direction of the League, all in a panic, and some even disregarded the risk of getting sick and prematurely deactivated their transformations.

"What's going on?"

Emu Hojo was completely bewildered. He finally found the battlefield amidst the fleeing Kamen Rider players, only to see Kamen Rider Lance flying backward with a scream.

"Master Kondo!"

"Bang!"

"Ugh!"

The spear stopped his slipping body, and the knight's armor dissipated, revealing Kondo Isami's terrified face.

When he looked up and met Emu Hojo's surprised gaze, Isami Kondo's face flushed red, he opened his mouth, then his neck lolled to the side and he fainted.

Sure enough, I shouldn't have listened to Xiao Nan and been discharged from the hospital.
