Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 404 Malice, Concept God

"Destruction! Devastation! Despair... Perish!"

The malevolent and dangerous incantations burned like karmic fire, covering the entire ground of the World Tree Tower. Those within it heard vengeful laughter constantly, making them feel as if they had entered a legendary hell.

The concept of malice, "Ark," descended upon "Gaim" in an unknown way, forcibly elevating "annihilation" to the realm of gods.

"Hmm!"

Luo Xiu'ao steadied himself with his sword, grunting as he looked at the white armored knight floating in the air, imbued with malicious energy.

He recognized the other party as the locust knight who had coveted the golden fruit in the Heim Forest but had been easily defeated by him.

I don't know why I suddenly gained superhuman power.

"Beyond the forbidden fruit, there's such immense power. But do you think you can get the fruit from me just like that? No matter how many times you try, the result will be the same!"

"call--!"

The clash between the red and black forces and the orange and red forces created an even more powerful shockwave that spread in all directions, blowing the knights away.

After a brief standoff, it was Luo Xiu'ao who took the first step back.

The previous attack by Ark-I still caused him some injury. Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal and he would recover quickly on his own, but at this moment it had a fatal effect.

"Foreigner, now that you possess such power, why do you still pursue forbidden fruits? Is it for the sake of this world?"

After a burst of impact, Luo Xiu'ao swung his slashing sword with one hand and held up the materialized, glowing golden fruit with the other.

"Now I'll show you the full power of the Gold-Gold Fruit!"

"Whoosh!"

Countless Heim Forest plants surged from the ground, pushing aside the malicious forces and reclaiming the area. Under the golden light, a large number of alien monsters appeared out of thin air, instantly reversing the balance of power.

Caught between malicious erosion on one side and the erosion of the Heim Forest on the other, Redie felt as if her body was about to explode.

I never expected that the foreign knight would have such power.

After fighting the king to this extent... perhaps he should consider how to end things.

Ideally, both sides would suffer heavy losses.

"Radiant!" Roshua shouted in a low voice between battle, "Continue the ritual! Whatever your plans, the ritual battle must continue!"

"I understand..."

Redee's eyes flickered as he clutched his chest and quickly returned to the interior of the World Tree Tower.

He still had to endure until the results were in.

As the only remaining general of the Fimsims, he possessed considerable power, but his true strength lay primarily in his patience and restraint.

Despite the suppression of his malicious energy, Ark showed no emotional fluctuations. After coldly glancing at Redie's retreating figure, he rapidly ascended under the support of the red and black runes.

After receiving the power of the Ark, "Destruction" is no longer the original "Destruction". Although it still has self-awareness, its emotions are completely controlled by the Ark, and it has no extra emotions other than malice.

The knights, who weren't particularly interested in entering the dungeon to begin with, were even less so now.

"Destroy them all!"

"What?!"

Luo Xiu'ao was shocked. After discovering that Ark had turned his target into a ritual, he hurriedly manipulated the Forest of Heim and used the vines to lift himself up into the air.

The smiles of the 01 team members below, who were excited about Ark's strength, froze.

"What did Lord Mie just say?"

"Total destruction is..."

"They probably want to stop the witchcraft ritual, right?"

"Bang--!"

The top of the World Tree Tower exploded with a violent crash, and the battle between Roshua and Ark-I moved into mid-air. However, the aftershocks did not weaken but instead became even stronger.

The life energy that had been collected seemed to be stimulated by the malicious invasion, and the Fimsim magic began to backfire. The restored tower creaked and cracked, and visible cracks spread downwards.

RX, basking in the sunlight, got up and looked up at the indistinct figure above. Sensing the rapidly expanding energy fluctuations within it, he instinctively turned around and shouted, "Run!!"

"Boom!"

Xia Chuan braved the increasingly dangerous storm pressure as he entered the battlefield of the World Tree Tower, and the next moment he saw the giant ball of light at the top of the tower explode with a bang.

A blinding light enveloped Zeya City, and the world eerily fell silent. All the knights lost consciousness, and even RX, who was the first to react, stood frozen like a statue.

Under the impact of unparalleled spiritual power, even time and space seemed to freeze.

Only Xia Chuan was still able to move freely on the ground.

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan walked directly into the plaza, just as the World Tree Tower above collapsed and exploded. Luo Xiu'ao, like a crashed aircraft, tumbled and fell, leaving behind thick smoke. After a series of impacts, he smashed the ground, creating a dense network of cracks. Even his broad-backed saber was dulled and stuck to the side.

Luo Xiu'ao actually lost.

Xia Chuan's expression shifted as he looked at the square, which had been re-abolished by the malicious domain.

Indeed, a knight's combat power does not depend on his level. He was able to unleash devastating skills through Dark Kiva very early on. However, he is different from "Destroyer" because he has the special ability to transform into all knights.

It is possible to achieve such a level of destruction solely through "malice".

He defeated Luo Xiu'ao, bridging the gap between level six and level eight, and even gained the upper hand in terms of superpowers evolved from divine power.

"Da da!"

Xia Chuan strode towards Luo Xiu'ao, who was panting heavily, and the power of the Evil Armor was further activated.

No matter what, we can't let Luo Xiu'ao's story end like this.

He wasn't sure if this guy counted as a boss after clearing the game.

"Clang!"

At this time.

A crescent-shaped blade of light, composed of malicious energy, not quite a lethal strike but enough to end Luo Xiu'ao's life, suddenly descended from the sky.

"Terror! Anger! Hatred! Despair!"

Sensing the intense malice that had been concentrated and channeled into the light blade, Luo Xiu'ao struggled to sit up, his eyes filled with both indifference and regret.

One last glance at the still silent stone coffin inside the tower, he could only sigh and await his fate.

He had realized that he could no longer bring the princess back to life.

Perhaps Reddish was lying from the beginning, but he was unwilling to admit it and was deceiving himself.

As the daughter of the former Origin, how could the Queen possibly be resurrected through witchcraft?

"My beloved, now I can go to you too..."

"Bang--!"

Xia Chuan bypassed Luo Xiu'ao one step ahead, his Dark Orange Ball twin swords spinning in his hands, and a gigantic black apple simultaneously condensed. In mid-air, it collided head-on with the malicious light blade. After a brief release of energy, they were annihilated together and merged into the intense light that erupted from the top of the World Tree Tower.

"Um?"

Ark-I and Rosh-O paused, looking directly at the third still-active life form.

"It's you?!"

Luo Xiu'ao's voice was surprised.

It wasn't just because of Xie Wu, who also possessed the power of a hegemon from another realm, but also because of the familiar aura that Xia Chuan seemed to have.

It was the foreign knight I first encountered in the ruins.

"Sorry, this guy can't die by your hand."

With his full power unleashed, Xia Chuan no longer concealed his presence, unleashing his Ultra psychic abilities to fight against the malicious forces.

Although his knight rank has not yet reached level eight, his level 5 Ultra psychic power as a C-rank life form is one of the few abilities currently linked to the Ultra system, which still protects him from malicious corruption.

However, self-preservation was not his goal.

As he glanced back at Luo Xiu'ao, Xia Chuan's consciousness transcended time and space to connect with his physical body.

The clones are no longer enough to handle this battle.
