Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 372 The World of Magic Gemstones

"Is this not the world of Witcher Knights?"

Xia Chuan landed at the bay port wearing the shuttle belt, and simple copy information flooded into his mind.

It's not a world instance.

To be precise, it's not the main world of "Witcher Riders," but a special spacetime inside the Magic Gem, the final resting place of the 13 Knights' time-traveling monsters, the "Magic Gem World."

The term "magic gems" refers to special gems with magical properties in the world of "Witch Knight".

The mage rings used in The Wizarding Knights as the main magical items for transformation or combat are made from magic gems. Each magic gem has a unique ability, the most special of which is the legendary Philosopher's Stone.

This magic gem appears to be of the spatial category, sealing the souls of all the monsters who died in various Rider worlds, and serving as a spacetime node connecting multiple Rider worlds, much like the Ultra Graveyard.

"Anyway, let's find Haruto first."

Xia Chuan raised his hands to check his own condition.

Whether it was because he entered using a magic ring or because he was just a clone, he did not acquire the native identity of this world.

That's good, at least our strength won't be limited.

Aside from not being able to use the Multi Rider Card's ultimate move, the clone and the original are not much different in other aspects, and the level is still lv7.5, which should be enough in this world.

"Whoosh!"

With one step, the scenery suddenly shifted, moving from the harbor to the mountains, and the time changed from day to night.

"Is both time and space chaotic?"

Xia Chuan looked up at the Magic Gem Moon and strode towards the nearby rural town.

It's called the world, but it seems to be just a cobbled-together structure.

Just now during the day, the outline of the Earth was still visible in the sky.

Where are we supposed to find someone then?

Xia Chuan looked at the magician's ring on his left hand again.

The magic circle teleported him here; it couldn't have been a mistake, could it?

"stop!"

At the entrance to the town, an old man dressed as a villager shouted and stopped Xia Chuan.

"Outsiders are not welcome here. Leave immediately! Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble!"

"Is disaster imminent?"

"Hurry! Before those guys get here..."

"We're here!"

A burly arm pressed down on the old man's shoulder and pushed him aside, followed by several patrolmen with blank expressions.

"This guy is from the outside world... To protect our world, we can't let him leave alive!"

"etc!"

The old man anxiously stopped the patrolman.

"It's against the rules to attack someone who hasn't transformed yet..."

"Don't get in my way!"

The lead inspector's face contorted, steaming as he transformed into a Gurongi monster.

"People from the outside world don't follow these rules, and besides, this guy can't even transform!"

"That's right, kill him!"

The patrolmen shouted and surrounded Xia Chuan.

Not only the first patrolman, but the rest of them also turned into monsters, including a vampire, an orphan, and even an other demon.

They're all weirdos.

"Bang!"

Without hesitation, Xia Chuan raised his hand and activated his telekinesis to blast away the surrounding monsters. At the same time, the Kuuga Rider Card condensed in his hand and automatically spun into the camera driver at his waist.

"Transform!"

"What?"

"Bang! Bang!"

The strange man who suddenly sprang up behind them was sent flying backward again before he could even see what was happening.

When the Kuuga All-Powerful Suit covered Natsukawa's entire body, the Gurongi's legs trembled violently.

"Kuuga! He is kuuga!"

"What's going on? Aren't all the knight's rings in Lord Amadam's possession?"

"What Amadam?"

Xia Chuan raised his foot and stepped on the Orphnoch that had been kicked away. Hot white smoke rose from the sole of his foot, and the sealing mark appeared, instantly burning the Orphnoch to ashes.

Amadam sounds like a ruler or boss type, which would be perfect for helping find people.

"Where is Amadam?"

"You bastard, the adults won't let you get away with this!"

The Gurongi watched Xia Chuan approach with a trembling voice, then called out to his left and right before continuing his charging attack.

What appeared to be a simple horn thrust turned into a sinister grin as the Gurongi charged closer, his right arm suddenly extending a blood-red diamond claw.

"Die!"

"Clang!"

Xia Chuan flicked his hand, blocking the attack from the Otherworldly Demon God. He then spun around and kicked to the side, landing just before the claws fell. The burst of energy instantly pierced through the Gurongi's body.

The strong acid liquid attached to the claws spilled out, and the Gurongi stared wide-eyed as it was thrown into the air. Before it even hit the ground, it exploded with a loud bang as the sealing energy spread.

"Bang--!"

Xia Chuan slowly lowered his legs, his entire body shrouded in lingering smoke. When he turned around, the remaining two strange men had already fled, seemingly to fetch reinforcements.

Without giving chase, Xia Chuan stepped over the ashes that were scattered by the wind and entered the town.

He didn't care much about these strange people; no matter how many there were, it wouldn't matter.

At level 7.5, he can easily control all the Knight systems on his body, including Dark Kiva, who possesses the power to destroy the world and already had the power to destroy cities at level 6.

These weirdos can be crushed with their all-around Kuuga, they can't even warm up for them.

But that "Amadam"...

"Over here!"

"It's Kamen Rider!"

"Lord Amadam has given the order: this guy is trying to destroy our world and must be killed immediately!"

As soon as Xia Chuan entered the town, a crowd of passersby surged towards him. The bustling crowd even surrounded the vendors who set up stalls in the alleys, all with hostile expressions. Only the children, curious, retreated to a distance.

In this world, Kamen Rider seems to have become the villain.

"I have no interest in destroying the world," Natsukawa said, looking at everyone in front of him who had transformed into monstrous forms with a headache. "I just want to see this Amadam you've been talking about..."

"How could Lord Amadham possibly see you?"

"Kill him!"

After he turned into a weirdo, the townspeople seemed to lose their hearts and minds, and like the previous patrolmen, they were completely unable to communicate normally.

How could Haruto be assimilated by this kind of world?

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan raised his hand again to create a psychic barrier, blocking several ascended alien insects. Then, he flipped the card in his hand and switched to Kabuto.

"Transform!"

"Clock up!"

He immediately transforms into Kabuto Stage 2, and Time Rise instantly activates. The Worms that had disappeared reappear, and all the other monsters also enter a slow-motion state.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Clock over!"

In an instant, all the townspeople and monsters screamed and were thrown into the air, while Natsukawa Kabuto's figure only swayed slightly when the ascension ended, as if he had remained in place without moving.

"Ugh!"

"What's up with this guy?"

The strange creatures landed like dumplings being dropped into a pot, looking in horror at Xia Chuan and the explosive flames ignited by the alien insects around him.

"Kabuto!"

"That was definitely kuuga just now!"

"Can you take me to see Amadam now?"

Xia Chuan glanced at the children who seemed relatively normal in the distance. After dealing with the more threatening alien insects, he did not continue the killing. Instead, he deactivated his transformation first, facing the groans of the monsters on the ground.

"I just want to find someone..."

"Whoosh!"

Before Xia Chuan could get close, the surrounding scenery changed again. What was originally a small town under the night sky turned into a forest and grassland in the blink of an eye, and the strange townspeople had all disappeared.

"What's going on with this world?"

Xia Chuan frowned as he looked around the mountainous area shrouded in the morning mist, and the afterimage of the earth reappeared on the horizon.

This is no longer a normal spacetime disorder.

There might be some involvement from Amadam in the shadows, otherwise there's no reason why he would be the only one teleported out of the town.

Trouble. I should have kept a lower profile.

If it weren't for those weirdos who always fought and killed each other, he might have already met Amadam.

Xia Chuan withdrew his gaze and tried to use his telekinesis.

Since the townspeople are so devoted to Amadam, they should be able to find him by finding the most distinctive aura.

"No, the spacetime is too chaotic."

Xia Chuan had to stop exploring after only a short while.

Aside from the area he's currently in, expanding his psychic power would cause severe energy depletion, something even someone with level 5 superpowers like him couldn't withstand.

The biggest problem now is not finding people, but not finding direction.

He actually got lost in this stitched-together world.

Xia Chuan secretly raised an eyebrow.

Since mastering Ultra Telekinesis, he had never encountered such trouble before.

"What do we do now?"

After walking around and being moved to a wooden bridge over a mountain stream, Xia Chuan stopped in silence.

He couldn't just leave empty-handed, but if he stayed here, Haruto would eventually be completely assimilated, and the outcome would be no different.

Try again.

As she pondered, Xia Chuan turned her gaze to the magic ring in her hand.

Since this is the world of magic gems, the best way should be to use magical power, but everyone has their own expertise, and he is not very good at this.

If it were a magician, they should be able to find Haruto, who has been assimilated, directly through the connection of this ring.

Are you looking for Haruto?

A gentle female voice rang in Xia Chuan's ears.

"Please save Haruto, I beg you..."

"Who?"

Xia Chuan turned around warily and found a girl in a long dress on the other side of the wooden bridge. Her body emitted a faint halo, making her look very ethereal.

"Haruto's in the Shadow Hall," the girl pleaded anxiously, her fingers crossed over her chest, "Hurry, if this continues, Haruto will..."

"Whoosh!"

The halo dissipated, taking the girl with it nowhere to be found, leaving only a faint glow to guide their way.

Xia Chuan's gaze narrowed slightly. He wasn't wary of the girl who suddenly appeared, but he was curious about Haruto's relationship with her.

This student seems to have quite a story.

"Miankagedo."

Shaking his head, Xia Chuan flashed after Hui Guang, and soon the scene before him changed again, appearing directly in front of a three-story building.

The sign at the entrance reads "面影堂" in Chinese characters.

It looks like a jewelry store, but it's all alone on a mountain road, with nothing around it.

"Who are you?"

A middle school girl with a bit of a bossy air rode over on her bicycle, and her expression changed drastically when she saw Xia Chuan.

"Hurry up and go inside! We'll be spotted if we stand here!"

Xia Chuan glanced at the middle school girl: "You were discovered to be..."

"Don't be silly!"

After nervously observing their surroundings, the middle school girl disregarded her bicycle and dragged Xia Chuan towards Menkage-do.

"Hurry up, you're in big trouble! Amadam is after you everywhere! What have you done?"

"Humans?"

Xia Chuan followed the middle school girl into the Menkage-do building. After confirming several times, he discovered that she was not a weirdo after all.

In his perception, almost everyone in this world, except for children, possessed a monster-like form, but the middle school girl in front of him had absolutely no monster-like aura.

"Why are you so surprised? Aren't you human?"

The middle school girl took a breath and slumped into her chair without any regard for her image, finally having time to examine Xia Chuan closely.

It's easy to tell if someone has become a weirdo; most weirdos become unable to distinguish right from wrong, and you can tell just by looking at their eyes.

"you……"

Upon meeting Xia Chuan's gaze, the middle school girl was suddenly startled, as if she were facing a dangerous boss-level monster.

"You're not human?!"

"One hundred percent human."

Xia Chuan looked past the middle school girl into the Menkage-do building and saw a fat uncle coming downstairs.

"Rinko, what's wrong? Who is this person...?"

The chubby uncle squinted his eyes in confusion.

"I don't know who he is either, but Amadam is after him," Rinko, a middle school girl, explained subtly, shrinking back slightly. "And he doesn't look like a weirdo... nor does he seem like a normal human."

"I am Kamen Rider."

Xia Chuan also couldn't sense any strange aura emanating from the fat man.

This strange world seems to have quite a few normal humans as well.

"Are there any other people here?" Xia Chuan continued to look into the inner room.

Although Haruto's identity in this world is unknown, he is clearly not one of the people currently in the world.

"Rinko-neechan!"

Two children appeared behind the fat man, a boy and a girl of similar age.

The girl was dressed the same as the girl who had led the way, while the little boy...

"Haruto?" Rinko glared at the two of them upon seeing them. "You two go up first!"

"But……"

The little boy looked at Xia Chuan curiously, feeling a strange sense of closeness to him.

"Is the big brother really a Kamen Rider? I heard that Kamen Riders destroy the world..."

"Buzz!"

Xia Chuan's eyes flickered, and through his telepathic perception, it was as if he were directly facing Haruto from this world.

That's right, the little boy is Haruto who has been assimilated.

How am I supposed to take this back?

"Stop kidding me, Haruto, how could there possibly be any Kamen Rider?"

Rinko scolded.

"Kamen Rider doesn't exist in this world!"

"What if I came from another world?"

Xia Chuan watched the two children go upstairs, then turned back to face the fat uncle and Rinko.

"Could you tell me about these two children in this world? Or tell me where Amadam is?"

"What are you talking about? Amadam will kill you! This world doesn't allow Kamen Riders to exist, you should understand that, right?"

The chubby uncle looked puzzled.

For him, Kamen Rider is definitely a big problem.

"If I were you, I'd leave right now," Rinko said warily. "Even a Kamen Rider couldn't survive here!"

"I can't leave yet."

Xia Chuan casually found a place to sit down.

"Someone commissioned me to save a child, and I'm staying here temporarily until I fulfill my promise."

"Living...living here?"

The chubby uncle glanced at Rinko with a twitch in his eye.

Why did I bring such a troublesome situation here?

Rinko: He came looking for me himself!

"You're not talking about Haruto and the others, are you?"

The chubby uncle sighed and sat down opposite Xia Chuan.

"They are both alone and I have been taking care of them. If they are your target, you should give up as soon as possible. You can't save them."

"Is there a problem?" Xia Chuan leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms.

"In this world, once the time comes, everyone will turn into a monster. There are all kinds of races, and what they will become is completely unknown. Only a very small number of people like us can maintain their human identity."

The chubby uncle looked reluctant.

"If nothing unexpected happens, those two kids are almost ready to transform. If they stay human, they don't need your help. But if they turn into monsters, you won't be able to save them anyway."
