Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 390 Kamen Rider Jake

"Yuya!!"

"Don't go over there! What do you think you can do?!"

The cold-faced youth, now transformed into the Pinecone Knight, gave a low shout and hurriedly grabbed the girl who was trying to rush into the swarm of locusts. He brandished his pine cone spear and barely managed to break through the encirclement, only to see a cloud of black locusts already passing overhead.

Finished!

"call!"

Apart from the wave that devoured Gaim, the other locusts, after covering the ruins, gathered together and transformed into figures of alien beings.

Locusts from a foreign land.

"You hide first!"

The cold-faced youth gripped his spear tightly. Turning around, he saw that the armored warrior had been swept away by the black mist and was nowhere to be found. He cursed under his breath and braced himself to face the locust-like alien.

"Power, if I had enough power..."

"Bang!"

The shadowy figure was, after all, just a guard. His C-level Lockseed was fine for dealing with alien grunts, but he struggled against the locust aliens.

Even the cold-faced youth who made it to the end of the battle could not overcome the huge difference in level and was soon defeated by the attack of several locust aliens.

Forget about protecting the girl, he himself seems unlikely to survive.

"hateful!"

He rolled to his feet, picked up the fallen pine cone spear, and although he was both surprised and afraid, he still threw himself back into the battle.

"In this dog-eat-dog world, I will become strong! I will definitely become strong!"

"A strong person? Hahaha!"

A high-level alien covered in a red exoskeleton emerged from the ruins, leaning on a greatsword. He sneered as he watched the shadowy figure being wounded by the locust aliens' attack.

"These mere scum, nothing more than a trash race on the verge of destruction, dare to call themselves strong? Utterly ignorant!"

"Click-clack!"

Suddenly, spatial rifts appeared where Gaim had disappeared, and faint streams of black mist and light re-converged into individual locusts.

Within the spiritual world.

Time rewinds amidst the howling winds, the scene returning to the final moments of the lost ruins of Heim Forest, where the overlord aliens rule over all ordinary aliens in a chaotic battle in every corner of the forest, and civilization rapidly heads towards destruction.

"See that?"

A man dressed in luxurious exotic clothing appears on the ruined building, opening his arms to examine the "Kakui Yuya" that has gathered on the ground.

"This is the fate of a world corrupted by the Heim Forest. Everyone is only thinking about how to kill each other, engaging in endless fighting. Regardless of race, the result is always annihilation! Only by completely destroying such a world and starting anew can it truly be redeemed!"

The man in fine clothes spoke with a seductive voice.

"Come, give me your body. By merging with me, who is a Golden Fruit user, you will gain the power to change the world. Then, you will save the world!"

"Light gold?"

Xia Chuan looked up and glanced at the man in fine clothes, quickly receiving the information from the mental world.

The current overlords of Heim Forest, as well as those who once lived in this ruin, are all a race called "Fimsim".

In the struggle that led to the complete destruction of civilization, a very small number of people obtained the power of overlord-level alien beings that could save them from extinction.

Kogami is a special life form created by one of the overlords who wanted to create an artificial Gold Fruit. It can grow by feeding on the battles of overlords or knights. In "Gaim", it constantly instigates battles in order to become a real Gold Fruit.

How do you know that name?

The man in the fine clothes fixed his gaze on the gold-plated man, squinting as he re-examined him.

"You're not Yuya Kakui! Who are you then? One of the other overlords?!"

"Whoosh!"

A strange black wind swept by, and the golden figure instantly transformed into a swarm of locusts, multiplying infinitely and turning into a giant maw that devoured Xia Chuan.

The ruins collapsed, and the whole world seemed to consist only of giant monsters transformed from locusts, whose roars alone cleared away the dust and mist from the ground.

"roar--!"

Despite being a man-made Gold Fruit product, its power is still quite remarkable.

This dreamlike mental world has now almost become the opponent's home turf.

"Transformation."

Xia Chuan clenched his fists on the spot, the Kuuga belt materialized in his abdomen, and the black and gold armor quickly spread throughout his body. When the compound eyes on his head took shape and the golden horns extended and solidified, the locust monster pressing down from mid-air was instantly ignited. Before the light and gold could react, it exploded into a sea of ​​fire.

His inner world can also be his domain.

"Ugh—!"

The locust swarm regrouped, fell to the ground, and transformed into grotesque figures, struggling in agony.

It seemed that it wanted to use the lake on the ground to extinguish the flames, but the supernatural fire started by Xia Chuan was beyond the norm. After the light fell into the lake, the flames not only did not weaken, but became even more intense, and even the lake surface boiled and bubbled instantly.

"asshole!"

Realizing that Xia Chuan's mental strength far surpassed his own, Guang Jin's voice was filled with rage.

As someone who possesses the Golden Fruit, he couldn't possibly be that weak!

"Don't think you can defeat me with this little bit of skill! Whoever you are, disappear!"

"Bang--!"

The burning swarm of locusts twisted and deformed, leaping up with the hot water splashing from the lake, roaring as it transformed into a giant fiery winged horse.

Don't underestimate me!

"Bang bang bang!"

The main body of the light gold transformed into a knight form, straddling the interior of a unicorn-like fiery Pegasus, unleashing a barrage of fireballs and light blades that enveloped Xia Chuan in all directions.

"Die!"

"Sizzle!"

Knight Natsukawa's eyes flashed red light as he saw through the golden light in the center of the fire horse. Particles gathered in his hand and materialized through flames into a sharp longsword bearing the mark of Kuuga.

cut!

"Clang—!"

The fiery horse in its galloping form, along with the roaring golden light within, froze in mid-air. Accompanied by a flash of sword light, it split in two in an instant, completely losing its life. In the end, only a black energy apple remained, which slowly descended in front of Xia Chuan.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan Kuuga retracted his armor, raised his hand and grabbed the energy apple. A brief burst of light emanated from it, and when he opened his palm again, a black apple-shaped seed was revealed.

Black body with red clasp.

Number "DARK", Rank unknown.

The classification of the World Tree's locked species levels flashed through Xia Chuan's mind.

The main Riders use A-rank Lockseeds, such as Gaim's Orange Lockseed.

Above that is the S-class "Energy Lock Seed" enhanced by Sengoku Ryoma, used for the Genesis Driver transformation. After transformation, its combat power is greatly increased, and it can use the Energy Bow, a weapon exclusive to the new generation of armored knights.

This Black Apple lock should be comparable to or even surpass an S-class lock.

The most impressive thing is that it can be used with the regular Sengoku Driver without needing a special adaptation.

With this thing, even in the Forest of Heim, he can unleash most of his strength, and it's not impossible for him to even exceed his usual level.

After all, the Lockseed system's Knights are not suppressed by Heim Forest.

This time, "Gaim" is like having half a ticket to complete the game.

However, how to obtain the golden apple remains a problem.

Even though that white alien was the king of all aliens and had eaten the golden fruit of the "Fimsim" clan, thus wielding divine power, he was not entirely confident of victory.
