Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 366 Final Battle 3

"The classic formula..."

Alliance Building.

Inside the spacious office that originally belonged to Dan Masamune.

A blond young man swirled a glass of red wine, listening to the maniacal laughter coming through his earpiece, completely unmoved.

"The legendary mysterious knight didn't show up. I was hoping to witness the strongest knight in Area 11. Is it just a rumor?"

"It's definitely not a rumor. It seems that the knight initially appeared on the list under different knight identities. It was only after the Decade incident that the list was unified into the current number one, and it hasn't changed since. It's very likely that he obtained the Decade belt."

The commander sat down on the sofa behind him and explained to the blond youth without making a sound.

The knights who came from the Alliance headquarters are said to have obtained some mysterious data while being bound to the 01 system, and were given the title of "Destroyer".

His strength far surpasses that of "Fei", the former captain of the 01 team, who is also from 01.

They traveled across the ocean to visit, but we don't know what their purpose is.

"Fei" is very likely to die at this guy's hands, because this guy doesn't have a good reputation at headquarters. He's called a battle maniac, but he's a universally acknowledged madman.

He is particularly interested in the strong, and any target he sets his sights on is destined to be slaughtered if they cannot defeat him.

However, defeat is not the end.

Unless this guy is killed or he loses interest on his own, this will never end.

Hiding won't help.

According to information from headquarters, "Extinction" acts recklessly and ruthlessly. In one instance, an entire family was cruelly tortured to death, all for the purpose of provoking the opponent's full strength and enjoying the opponent's extreme hatred and despair in battle.

"Decade?" The blond youth put down his glass, his eyes gradually filled with excitement.

In the Knight system recorded by Skynet, Decade is a rare Knight with no upper limit, capable of continuously collecting Knight cards and transforming them into his own power.

The potential index is at least level nine.

Currently, the confirmed threshold for the realm of gods is only level seven, and the confirmed gods are only level eight.

Normally, combat power is still linked to level, especially after level five.

"Do you have any specific information about this Decade Knight?" the blond youth continued to ask.

"I only know that he is above level six," the commander replied, shaking his head. "Starting from 'Kuuga,' he has cleared almost all the time-space dungeons. He even launched a flying kick at the god who instantly killed RX, but the result is unknown. Moreover, the former agent of the X Foundation also disappeared in a battle with him."

"Above level six..."

The blond youth fell silent for a moment, then a strange smile spread across his face, his lips growing wider and wider.

He didn't believe any knight could surpass level seven at this stage.

Otherwise, why is the Chronicle incident nowhere to be seen?

Having cleared so many time-travel instances, there's no reason to miss this game world.

Either they don't want to show themselves in the real world, or they lack the ability to complete the game; both possibilities indicate that the other party is not strong enough.

It's at most level seven.

"Interesting. After this fusion with the data of the game god Chronos, I should also aim for level seven," the blond youth said, swirling his glass again. "Let this Mr. Decade lend me a hand."

The commander's eyelids twitched, pretending not to hear.

That Tan Masamune was ultimately just a pawn; all his schemes were destined to serve as a stepping stone to his demise.

As for decade...

Regardless of whether the top-ranked player becomes Decade, they are ultimately not part of the alliance's fighting force. Being targeted by "Destroy" may not be a bad thing; it just means the other party will be in trouble in the future.

……

"pause!"

Coastal battlefield.

Exid and Illusion, who launched a renewed attack, froze around the game god Chronos. Even the flames from the energy blast explosion could not escape their grasp, and the entire area fell into a state of stillness in the dim light.

"Hmph."

The game god Chronos, wielding the God's Blade and the God's Barrier, casually deflected several energy blasts in front of him and remotely pointed at the knights who had not yet given up the fight.

"Killing you would be easy, but dying so easily seems rather boring. You should become witnesses to my becoming the rule of the world..."

"Um?"

Just as Dan Masamune was about to cancel the pause, he looked in confusion at W Gale Ace, who was walking out against the light.

Can it still move around?

"How is this possible? What exactly are you...?"

"Just pausing doesn't seem perfect."

Xia Chuan adapted to moving his hands and feet.

Hiroko Asami has completely fallen silent, and W is now entirely dependent on him to maintain its position, causing its ranking to decline further.

However, the situation is much better than a true time stop.

Once the pause is complete, he is no longer restricted and can use cards to summon knights to fight at crucial moments, as long as his main body is not within the game's domain.

"Imperfect?"

Tan Zhengzong lowered his gaze coldly.

"I don't know how you managed to avoid the pause, but..."

"Clang!"

A bright light suddenly flashed within the still game field, and before the words were finished, the game god Chronos teleported behind Xia Chuan, the God's Blade drawing a long fiery dragon from his back.

"Crimson Lotus Bursting Sword!"

"Wow!"

Xia Chuan hurriedly rolled over to dodge, narrowly avoiding the howling fire dragon, but a burning sensation still lingered on his back.

I should have kept something in reserve. I left all the clearance certificates to Emu Hosho because I wanted to make a perfect exit. I didn't expect that the competition would be skipped and Goto would take out the last clearance certificate.

Moreover, it wasn't just Dan Masamune who had a backup plan; it seems that the visitor from Country A was also making a scheme.

The start time of the final round was moved up by more than half a day.

The alliance never intended for players to complete the game in the first place; otherwise, the preparation time would not have been so short, and even RX was not recruited.

It seems the only option is to summon a knight. This body is completely incapable of fighting and could easily harm Hiroko Asami.

The upgraded shuttle can now summon level six knights, which shouldn't be a problem for stalling for time.

"Hmph, nothing special. So what if you dodged the timeout? In the end, it all comes down to skill!"

Before Xia Chuan could act, Dan Zhengzong proactively pressed the AB button on the malfunctioning driver. The domain time continued to flow, and Exide and Huanmeng, who were frozen in place, resumed their attack. Only when they realized that they had lost their target did they discover that they had lost their target.

Another pause!

After regaining their footing, the two men solemnly retreated to Xia Chuan's side.

Emu Hojo cannot transform into an invincible player; the only way is to use level 99 reprogramming to alter the antibodies within Masamune Dan's body.

However, they not only have to avoid the barriers of the gods, but also face the "pause" that can be activated at any time.

Unless they can restrict Dan Masamune's movements...

"Baosheng, bring me the vaccination card!"

My wife, the Taoist priest, solemnly pulled out the LV0 cassette from her waist.

At this point, level 0 has become quite limited in its effectiveness; only the Vaccine Cartridge can weaken the game god Chronos while simultaneously limiting the opponent.

"senior?"

"Give me!"

Without a word, Daoist Agasa snatched the vaccine cassette.

With his immortality, he could risk everything to restrain Dan Masamune; the only remaining option was to rely on Hosho Emu and Kamui.

After taking a deep look at Xia Chuan W's figure, Daoist Agasa turned around and activated the vaccine cartridge.

"The All-Round Doctor XX!"

"Do you want to use the same strategy a second time?"

Tan Zhengzong chuckled and stood still, giving everyone a perfect look.

"Don't you understand yet? The reason the Game God was caught in this trap was all my doing. Otherwise, with your strength, how could I have resurrected you?"

"Finishing Move!"

With a low roar, Master Gasai charged forward. His initial attack was easily blocked by Dan Masamune, but immediately afterward, numerous dark figures crawled out from the ground around him and tightly bound the hands and feet of the game god Chronos.

The vaccine cartridge's power was applied to all the zombie clones, and the parts that came into contact with the game god Chronos continuously emitted a hissing decomposition sound.

Xia Chuan swallowed his words of dissuasion and temporarily suspended the materialization and summoning of the Knight Card.

He wasn't too worried about this bully.

Compared to Captain 01, Michiru Gasai is undoubtedly a much better fit for "Dangerous Zombies," and he really can't die.

It can buy us some time.

The shuttle had only about ten minutes left before it finished cooling down.

It will be ready soon.

"Oh?"

Tan Masamune was slightly surprised, but not very nervous. He just smiled, and a huge magic circle suddenly appeared above his head.

"Crushing Technique!"

"stop!"

A magic ring in the hand of the shaman behind him glowed, and a red magic circle expanded in sync, barely managing to block the golden thunderstorm and shattering ice crystals that descended from the sky.

However, when faced with the complex magic "Crushing Spell", the already low magic power of the wizard knight was only able to hold on for a short while before being backlashed and sent flying. It was only thanks to Xia Chuan's timely intervention that he was not killed in the counterattack.

"Bang--!"

The Shattering Technique broke through and landed, causing a violent explosion that wiped out all the zombie clones, including the Dream of the Witch Doctor, which roared and disintegrated in the lightning.

The God's Blade pierced through the illusion's body without any hindrance.

"Master Daoist!"

The shaman's aura fluctuated wildly, his level dropped to level five, and finally he jumped to level four, breaking out of the transformation. His battle suit disappeared, leaving Haruto only to look in despair at the data cube of the magistrate Gasai who had vanished into thin air.

"Click!"

The vaccine cartridge tumbled to the ground and was stomped into pieces by the game god Chronos.

"You do have some skill, but that level isn't enough to defeat me right now."

After blocking Exyde's level 99 reprogrammed beam, Dan Masamune turned around and once again held his blade, making a virtual strike in the air. His gaze swept over the panting Exyde, as well as Natsukawa W behind him and Haruto, who had completely withdrawn from the battle.

"You and you, do you want to try again? I can give you a chance, maybe you can win me over, but the price is the same as with Huanmeng... annihilation!"

Haruto gripped Natsukawa W's arm tightly with his fingers, wanting to say something but then lowering his head, his expression somber.

They no longer have the strength to fight.

The vaccine cassette was destroyed, and he also exhausted his magic.

"tutor……"

"You've done your best."

Xia Chuan put Haruto down and frowned as he looked at Chronos, the game god who was in control of the entire scene.

Not yet.

The shuttle still hasn't cooled down.

In the final minutes, he would have to rely on himself.

My wife, Daoist, can die without any consequences, but Baosheng Yongmu cannot be allowed to die.

"Hmph hmph hmph!"

Dan Masamune's smug laughter rang out again, as if laughing with a nasal tone made him seem to have everything under control.

"If you don't act now, I'll be issuing my judgment, and you will all be eliminated!"

"Mr. Tan Zhengzong!"

The hero and demon king player suddenly entered the scene, glanced at the knights who were all paralyzed, and calmly turned to the game god Chronos.

"It's not time to eliminate them yet. These guys don't even qualify for the final game. Even if we wipe them out, it won't end the final round."

"Are you eligible to play the game?"

Tan Masamune's voice was thoughtful.

"Indeed, the players qualified to challenge me haven't been finalized yet, so let's wait and see."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of Game God Chronos disappeared along with the Hero Demon King players, leaving behind a group of knights looking at each other in bewilderment, as well as Xia Chuan, whose heart was filled with complicated feelings.

What kind of situation is this?

Wait a little longer...

He'll be invincible in no time.

Is this the classic formula for games?
