Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 391 Overlord

"That's fine then. As long as I'm here, this door won't disappear."

The underground of the World Tree Tower.

In the center of the research lab, filled with plants from the Forest of Heim, stands a thick tree trunk. A crack leading to another realm is steadily open in the trunk, and the Green Otherworlder and 01 pass through the crack and enter the research lab one after the other.

Although Zeya City has fallen, surveillance footage from various locations is still being recorded on the research lab screen.

"There's something I don't quite understand," 01 asked after confirming the passage was completely stable. "Has your king always carried the Golden Fruit?"

"The reason Luo Xiu'ao kept that fruit is because he couldn't let the queen eat it, since the queen has been dead for a long time." The green alien Redie grabbed a chair like a master, his eyes never leaving 01.

"In other words, if there is another way to save the princess, then we can get the golden fruit from him."

01 was drawn to the surveillance video from the research institute and walked up to the Locust Alien Animation with his hands behind his back.

"While I don't think that guy will give up the Golden Fruit so easily, but... what do you want me to do?"

"Don't you understand?"

Redd's voice was playful.

"The technology here has given me a lot of inspiration. Combined with the witchcraft of our Fimsim clan, we can revive the queen as long as the life force is strong enough."

01 paused: "You've got your eye on our knight?"

"What? You can't bear to part with it?"

Reddie also walked up to the monitor screen.

"The original plan was to use the humans of this world, but as you can see, this city has been abandoned by humans. Furthermore, the stronger the life form, the higher the chance of success..."

"In that case, wouldn't it be better to be from another realm?"

"There's nothing I can do. That guy Luo Xiu'ao is just a stubborn fellow. He insists that all aliens are subjects, and since human life force is purer, so... hmph."

Reddie patted 01 on the shoulder.

"Don't forget our agreement. Even if the plan to resurrect the princess fails, at least we should bring Luo Xiu'ao to this world, shouldn't we?"

"That's right."

01 The knight's expression remained calm beneath his mask.

It's almost impossible to defeat that King of the Otherworld in the Forest of Heim.

Although Zeya City has also been invaded by the Heim Forest, it can at least still contact satellites.

His only chance is to rely on the power of the Level 8 satellite.

"And what's going on with these people?" 01 asked, pointing to the Pinecone Knight struggling in the surveillance footage. "Aren't there still survivors?"

Who knows?

Radiant's head ornament swayed as she noticed the red alien figure appearing on the monitor. She chuckled and shook her head as she left.

"There may be some rats hiding in the sewers, but that's about it. With Demshu around, even if we can get rid of those locust aliens, we'll only face death in the end."

"Demshu?"

01 frowned, ignoring the surveillance footage, and thoughtfully followed.

According to the data collected by the World Tree, the so-called Overlords of the Otherworld are extremely rare exceptions who retain their self-awareness after consuming the fruits of the Heim Forest and become lords of the Heim Forest.

This "Fimsim" clan is truly extraordinary; there are probably quite a few of them who dominate other realms.

Cooperating with these guys is somewhat like asking a tiger for its skin.

However, once the battlefield is moved away from Heim Forest, he will be the one laughing last.

He will remember the sacrifices of the Alliance Knights as long as he can obtain the Golden Fruit.

……

"what!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Ruins of the street.

The cold-faced youth had fought to the very last moment and was no longer able to dodge the attacks. He was struck by the claws of the locust aliens from all sides.

"Stop fighting!"

The girl hid behind and called out anxiously.

"Don't worry about me, run!"

"Are you kidding me? You think I can't beat these guys?!"

The cold-faced youth leaped forward, unleashing the Pinecone Knight's signature finishing blow.

"MATSUBOKKURI SQUASH!"

The Sengoku Driver knife cuts and locks the seed, and the pine cone spear expands into a giant pine cone ball as it is swung. In the midst of desperation, it finds the locust aliens standing in a line.

Despite it being his first time fighting as a knight, the cold-faced youth still mastered the rhythm of the battle.

"No matter what, I fight for myself, to become stronger, not to protect anyone! Only the strong survive in this world!"

"Bang--!"

The leading locust aliens exploded successfully under the pine cone's ultimate attack, but the red alien figure that appeared next made the cold-faced youth freeze in his tracks.

The pine cone spear was gripped by one hand, as if welded shut, and could never be pulled back.

"What?"

"Just a nobody, yet he dares to give himself so much screen time."

The red-clad alien, Demshu, sneered coldly. The next moment, he forcefully snatched the pine cone spear and swept it across, sending the cold-faced youth flying.

"That's utterly absurd!"

"Well!"

The cold-faced youth screamed as he crashed into the ruins, the pinecone lock at his waist exploding into countless fragments.

How could that be?

"Hmph, is that all you've got?"

Demshu tossed aside the melted pine cone spear, leaned on his greatsword, and walked toward the cold-faced youth who had broken free of his transformation. His voice was full of disappointment in addition to mockery.

"It's so boring. I thought I could find some fun."

"hateful!"

The cold-faced youth gritted his teeth and propped himself up, breathing heavily under the intense threat of death. Finally, his gaze fell on an exotic fruit in front of him.

These exotic fruits, which are found everywhere, may not look particularly remarkable, but the scent they emit seems to possess a magical quality.

A series of images suddenly flashed through the young man's mind.

All of them are of him in the future, and scenes of him fighting as the armored knight "Baron".

"I am……"

As Demshu approached, the young man, without bothering to examine his memories, quickly flipped over and plucked two exotic fruits.

One was just a regular C-grade lock, but another was successfully transformed into an A-grade mango lock.

Have the opportunity!

The young man's face lit up with joy, and he endured the excruciating pain to activate the mango seed lock.

"Transform!"

"Oh? A level up? But so what?"

Demshu crossed his arms and let the young man transform. Once the Mango Armor was deployed, he suddenly attacked and kicked the young man away again.

"They're just slightly stronger small fry!"

"Bang!"

Unlike his previous casual attacks, Demshu's attacks were like a torrential downpour, the relentless assault nearly bewildering the young man, and even the brand-new A-rank armored knight seemed powerless to retaliate.

"Ahem!"

After stumbling and rolling to the other side of the ruins, the young man angrily summoned the Mango Hammer weapon and continuously turned the Sengoku Driver knife.

A fatal blow!

"COME ON! MANGO SPARKING!"

"die!"

The mango hammer shot out a golden light bullet as the youth swung it, but Demshu suddenly teleported away before being hit.

The greatsword that was always being held up had a hilt that was actually a staff.

"continue!"

Demshu moved behind the youth, his entire body transforming into an energy ball that moved back and forth, attacking.

Not only was he unable to lock onto a counterattack, but the young man couldn't even pinpoint the source of the attack. It seemed he was being beaten from every angle, and even the mango hammer he had just summoned had fallen somewhere.

So strong!

"Body……"

After a series of battles, the young man's body was completely pushed to its limit. In a daze, he lay stiffly on the ground, only able to faintly hear his opponent's voice pronouncing his death sentence.

"Stop fighting!"

"I'm fed up. Let's end this, humans! Executing the weak and defeated is proof of strength, the absolute right of the strong!"

Demshu landed again and raised his wand and greatsword in front of the youth.

Even among the overlords of other realms, there are ranks. At the top is, of course, the King of Other Realms, while he and Redie are both generals below the king, true lords.

If classified according to the World Tree hierarchy, Demshu's level is far above S.

As far as the oddballs are concerned, a level of six or seven is enough to make them bosses in most knight dungeons.

"Clang—!"

"Transform!"

Flames exploded, and Demshu was kicked away by a flash of light just as he was about to strike with his greatsword. Before he could even react to what was happening, he was sent flying through the ruins and crashed into a collapsed building with a bang.

"Who goes there?!"

Enraged, Demshu broke free from the impact, turned around and rushed out of the explosion's dust cloud. Seeing the red and black armored knight revealed below, his eyes gleamed and trembled.

"Black Apple seed lock... Could you be...?"

"Kamen Rider Jabu, I think that's the name."

Xia Chuan grabbed the Dark Orange Pill and looked at his own armor.

The white combat suit adorned with red and black dark armor didn't really suit his taste; it just felt too flashy.

Unfortunately, he cannot decide the transformation form of this Lockseed.

"What kind of evil martial art?"

Demshu landed with a cold snort and used the same trick to teleport behind Xia Chuan. However, Xia Chuan seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and easily blocked the seemingly powerful greatsword attack.

"Yuya?" The girl hesitated and peeked out. When she saw that Demshu's opponent had changed to Jabu, she called out uncertainly in a soft voice.

She had witnessed Demshu's power just now, but now it suddenly seemed as if he had been severely weakened.

The situation has completely reversed.

"That guy..."

The cold-faced young man who struggled to his feet from behind suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Demshu, who left him completely defenseless, was utterly unable to harm Evil Warrior, and couldn't even make Evil Warrior move an inch.

"Damn it!"

"Mere trash!"

After several attacks were easily thwarted by Natsukawa, Demshu roared in fury.

Don't underestimate me!

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan slashed and dispersed the fireballs launched by Demshu.

These overlords from other realms all seem to be the same, and Guang Jin is also constantly shouting and yelling.

Does shouting loudly during a battle guarantee victory?

If he hadn't been worried about saving people, he would have used his ultimate move to kill this guy instantly.

"Again!"

Demshu was somewhat incredulous; with all his attacks failing, he had no choice but to transform into a red energy ball and float in the air once more.

Unlike when dealing with the cold-faced youth, the red energy ball froze in mid-air as soon as it took off, as if it were being held by an invisible giant hand and unable to move.

The attack failed not because of his mistake, but because the gap in skill was simply too large...

"How could that be?"

Demshu's voice was filled with despair as he looked at the evil weapon unleashing its deadly attack on the ground, and suddenly had the illusion of facing the King of the Otherworld, Roshuo.

"Impossible! I don't agree... I don't agree! Mere small fry, monkey race..."

"Bang--!"

The Dark Orange Pill combined with the Peerless Saber unleashed the terrifying power of the Black Apple, transforming into intersecting crescent-shaped blades of light that cleaved the red energy cluster in mid-air into countless fragments.

Demshu didn't even have time to revert to his original form before he screamed and exploded into a shower of light, becoming the backdrop for Natsukawa's sword strike.
