Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 418 The War of the Transcendent

"call--!"

Kabuto's light feathers shot through space, and before the mechanical warrior could understand what was happening, it suddenly reversed its movements and recharged its energy. As if rewinding, it watched as Kouta Kazuha below transformed back into the Origin Man and was perfectly restored to his Great General form.

"Stubborn and unyielding... huh?!"

As soon as he repeated the sentence, the mechanical warrior suddenly awoke and his body trembled violently.

"How is this possible? Time has reversed! Even the Megahex system couldn't do this... Incomprehensible! Absolutely impossible..."

"Maximum Rider Power!"

Xia Chuan surpassed Kabuto's figure and appeared behind the mechanical warrior in a flash. The energy of the Hypa Worm was continuously poured in, from the belt to the horns of the beetle, and together with the surrounding area, it turned into an electric field.

Although it wasn't the Kabuto world and the reversal didn't last long, the home-field advantage combined with the full Rider Belt allowed him to perfectly replicate the power of the Super Time Transformation, making him even stronger than Tendou Souji. His finishing move's destructive power far exceeded the set value of 30t.

"Hyper Kick".

"Who are you……"

The mechanical warrior turned around hastily, and just as his arm shield blade was about to deploy a protective force field, his entire body was sent flying backward by the violent tremor, dissipating along with the airflow and atomic-level collapse.

"Bang--!"

The roar echoed through the sky. Kuzuha Kouta, who had just come to his senses, staggered to the ground and took a deep breath as he looked at the completely annihilated afterimage of the mechanical warrior.

The alien warrior was eliminated so easily. If he hadn't personally experienced the enemy's combat capabilities, he would have almost thought it was just a grunt.

"This strength... is it you, Yuya?"

Kouta Kazuha deactivated his Great Shogun transformation and looked around, but couldn't find the elusive Kabuto. Instead, he spotted his old friends approaching from afar.

The Wu brothers, members of the dance troupe, and even Hiroya Renkaku are among them.

"Kudzu leaf!"

"Kurota-nii!"

"What exactly happened just now?"

"It's a long story..."

Kuzuha Kōta hesitated, glancing at Ii Yūya out of the corner of his eye. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he hurriedly looked up at the sky.

The demise of the mechanical warriors was not the end; the invading weapons still entered the atmosphere.

"Oh no, the dance is still there!"

"Bang!"

With a tremendous roar, the cone-shaped weapon, hundreds of meters tall, pierced the ground, its support protruding like an anchor and penetrating the surrounding buildings.

Before Kuzuha Kouta and the others could think too much, the mechanical warriors that had been eliminated were suddenly teleported to the ground streets in batches, replicating like an army under control.

"What's going on? They actually revived, and so many of them have appeared..."

"Megahex will not perish; the destruction of the individual is meaningless."

Legion-like mechanical warriors floated into the air, circling the invading weapons and surveying the entire city, searching for traces of something beyond the Kabuto.

"For Megahex, the individual is the whole, and the whole is the individual; each individual is merely a terminal."

"From now on, Megahex will transform the Earth and merge with it."

"Are you kidding me?"

Kuzuha Kōta gripped the lock tightly, feeling immense pressure in his heart.

Although he is called a god, he knows very well that he only has godlike abilities because of his control over the Heim Forest. In the eyes of these mechanical warriors, his actual combat power is just that of a so-called transcendent being.

One mechanical warrior is equivalent to a transcendent being, and now they are appearing in plural forms.

"boom!"

The top of the invading weapon unfolded like a lotus flower, and a large number of unknown flying objects followed the mechanical warriors and shot in all directions.

Xia Chuan, who was on the ground, watched all of this, and after thinking about it, decided not to intervene.

They are all replicable, so destroying these mechanical life forms is indeed pointless.

As for the combat strength of these mechanical warriors, he didn't care much about it.

Beyonders aren't something that's commonplace. According to the "newbie protection period" and "mass production" theorem of the Kamen Rider world, the fact that so many individuals appeared at once means their combat power isn't as exaggerated as Kouta Kazunari thought.

The mechanical warriors were able to overpower the general not because they were just individuals, but because they were essentially fighting the entire Megahex system.

"call!"

Xia Chuan looked beyond the invading weapons and gazed into the deep space of the universe.

It's as if you can see a shimmering, metallic planet in a distant star field.

That area seems to be the core of these mechanical warriors.

"That's the planet Megahex."

The turbaned male phantom emerged from behind Xia Chuan, also looking at the universe with his hands behind his back, and spoke.

"Like other transcendents, they were also a race that had undergone the trials of Helheim. The difference is that Megahex chose to mechanize the entire planet, unify and merge it into mechanical life forms to complete the evolution, and finally take the steps of evolution into the universe."

Xia Chuan glanced at the man with the headscarf out of the corner of his eye.

Its evolved behavior pattern is quite similar to that of Softia from the Ultraman world, both pursuing a unified consciousness.

"Will you continue to maintain your own world, or accept the integration and evolution?" The turbaned man smiled and faded into the background. "I look forward to your choice. You are the only being in this universe who is not a transcendent being, yet is no less than one. There has never been such an exception before."

Xia Chuan did not respond, but waved his hand to wipe away the Helheim spores left by the man in the headscarf.

It seems that the planet Megahex is the final boss of the fusion dungeon.

However, he currently lacks the ability to attack the planet Megahex across the universe, and destroying such a mechanical planet is also a major problem.

He does have wide-range finishing moves, but the most effective one is undoubtedly Dark Kiva's world-destroying attack. At his current level, his maximum output is already quite terrifying.

But if we're talking about using it to destroy planets...

It seems that only by leveraging the power of Pandora's Box from Rider Build can this be accomplished in the Knights World.

"It shouldn't be that troublesome."

Xia Chuan pondered and withdrew his gaze.

The Knights world is not the Ultraman world, so it shouldn't have reached the point where it needs to destroy a planet.

Since it is a mechanical planet, it must have an operating system; destroying its system will solve the problem.

The first step is to find a way to make contact with the planet Megahex...

Xia Chuan looked up at the invading weapons towering overhead, lightly touched the ground with his feet, quickly donned his armored combat suit, and flew towards the core area.

As the daughter of origin, Takashi Mai is currently imprisoned inside the weapon of invasion and has not yet been assimilated.

"Bang!"

After breaking through the metal protective barrier and looking directly inside the weapon, no special structure was visible; it was completely empty. Then, a large number of alien monsters and mechanical lifeforms unique to "Rider" were printed out.

Even the overlord, the alien Luo Xiu'ao, and his group were present.

However, it is not the original, but a mechanical puppet copied based on data.

"You are... an otherworldly knight?" The clone of Roshcho murmured, the image of the evil warrior instinctively flashing through his mind. "You shouldn't have come. Megahex is not someone we can deal with..."

"Crunch!"

Xia Chuan forcefully expanded the barrier with both hands and stepped into the inner area, becoming even more certain of Megahex's true nature.

If most of the computing power had not been diverted, the other party would not have replicated these puppets for defense.

I'm sorry.

"Clock Up!"

Ignoring the advice of Luo Xiu'ao's clone, Xia Chuan lightly tapped the Hypa Worm with his fingers, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

It didn't even enter hyperchronization, just normal acceleration, and in a few flashes, it arrived in front of the sealed nutrient tank of Takashi Mai, accompanied by a series of explosions behind it.

The difference in combat power between the clone and the original is not significant. Luo Xiu'ao only lost the special authority granted by the Golden Fruit, while other data remains completely preserved.

However, Xia Chuan's combat strength was already above Luo Xiu'ao's before, let alone now that he has officially crossed the eighth level.

The warrior who appears to be wielding a large cleaver is actually just a mage with high attack and low defense, and cannot pose any obstacle to him.

"Clock over!"

"Splash!"

The transparent container shattered, and Mai Takashi, who had been sleeping inside, regained consciousness. She only vaguely saw Kabuto's figure on the other side of the water splash before her eyes blurred, and the next moment she appeared directly in front of Kota Kuzuha and the others who had rushed in from the ground.

"dance!"

"Sister Dance!"

Xia Chuan flashed back to the ground, paused briefly, and before anyone could notice, sped away again.

His feelings towards the characters in the dungeons were quite complex, and the more dungeons he experienced, the deeper his feelings became.

To these people, he might be the true god.

If it's not necessary, it's best to minimize contact.

……

Synchronization successful!

The top layer of weapons of aggression.

Strangely, several mechanical warriors did not follow the main force away, but instead concealed themselves to observe the direction Xia Chuan had left in.

"It really was him... Kabuto Decade!"

"It surpasses Kabuto and possesses the ability to reverse time, making it difficult to deal with."

"What's there to be afraid of? Reversing time isn't that easy. Taking advantage of Megahex's opportunity to reshape Earth, I've already set up a deactivation device. Once the copies are completely merged, that will be the time of Decade's demise!"
