Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 420 Galloping Horse

In Tokyo, the assimilation process brought about by Megahex is accelerating.

However, the mechanical mutant "Lupin," which continued to create chaos, not only did not stop its activities, but also kidnapped a female police officer from the Special Investigation Division and led Shinnosuke Tomari to the roof of the Tower of Death building.

Kiriko Shijima, Shinnosuke Tomari's partner, was supposed to be an assistant supporting the cavalry in battle, but now she has become a hostage who could be killed at any moment.

"call!"

A biting wind swept through the high-rise buildings, causing the filaments suspending Shijima Kiriko to sway back and forth. As the central thread gradually broke, even the seasoned Kamen Rider partners couldn't help but show expressions of horror.

"Kiriko!"

Shinnosuke climbs onto the hovering hot air balloon platform, hoping to rescue his partner, but unfortunately, without the ability to transform, he can't even protect himself and has no rescue capability whatsoever.

"stop……"

"You should think about yourself first, hmph."

Lupin jumped onto the hot air balloon platform and gently flicked Shinnosuke Tomari away with his finger.

"Although killing goes against my principles, who told you to be unlucky? This should at least give those guys some closure..."

"Mr. Belt!"

As he plummeted from the sky, Tomari Shinnosuke struggled to adjust his position. Under the howling wind, he gritted his teeth and turned the belt engine, but after repeated attempts failed, despair flashed in his eyes once again.

Is this the end?

"Charge!!"

Shijima Kiriko's shouts came faintly through the cold wind. As he fell, Tomari Shinnosuke jolted and his loosened fingers gripped the engine switch again.

"How can I give up like this? Even if the belt is unusable, as long as I'm still wearing it... I am Kamen Rider Drive!"

"Buzz!"

The dim riding belt seemed to be lit up by firelight, and the engine panel in the middle glowed and emerged.

"Well said, Shinnosuke! Kamen Rider isn't a title that can be taken away so easily!"

"Mr. Belt?" Shinnosuke looked at the restored belt in surprise. "How did you...?"

"It was that person who restored the belt."

"That person?"

Tomari Shinnosuke wanted to ask more, but they were already close to the ground and he didn't have much time left. He could only quickly assemble the gear-shifting vehicle amidst the surrounding riding equipment.

"Transform!"

"Here comes Kamen Rider Drive!"

The red motorcycle sped across the ground, then transformed and leaped into the air, catching Shinnosuke while continuing its flight towards Kiriko Shijima, who was also falling.

"Buzz!"

"This works?"

Lupin stared in disbelief at the scene below, and hastily switched to battle mode as he met the gaze of the rider.

"But what difference would another time make? He's just a failed scientist who can only possess the belt, and a smug little brat who's gloating over having his power taken away from him. He's no match for me, who has successfully mastered the strongest body!"

……

Zeya City.

Xia Chuan once again arrived beneath the invading weapons.

Unlike his previous rescues, this time he was prepared to find a way to connect to the planet Megahex, or at least to sever the long-distance spacetime connection with it.

No matter what tricks the Alliance has played, the difficulty of the fusion dungeon cannot be increased to an unsolvable level.

Either Mega Hex isn't a dungeon boss, or he must have some kind of weakness.

"Let's buy a little more time."

Xia Chuan's eyes lit up slightly as he mentally perceived the entire structure of the invading weapon.

The biggest impact of losing access to the dungeon was the lack of information, but he was not without a strategy. In addition to his own strength at the top of the knight world, he could also rely on the power of the dungeon's main characters.

Without any additional intervention, the main characters have a high probability of completing the dungeon storyline on their own. Dungeon challengers only need to survive to the end to usually complete the mission.

Kondo Isami is the best example, but this method ultimately doesn't grant much authority, and there's basically no chance of him becoming the ruler of the world.

For him, it would certainly be more harmful than beneficial, as he usually wouldn't rely on the main characters.

However, this does not mean that the power of the main characters should be completely abandoned.

This time, he hopes to find Megahex's weakness through Gaim and Rider.

"Um?"

Unlike before, before Xia Chuan even got close to the invading weapons, golden lights fell, and a large number of Megahex mechanical warriors landed surrounded by the dust and smoke of the explosion.

"Bang bang bang!"

Without any communication, all the mechanical warriors unleashed their full power, their energy seals flashing instantly. A light blue ring of energy enveloped Xia Chuan, followed by a massive shockwave that erupted in all directions, and pillars of flame shot straight into the sky.

"threaten!"

"Annihilate! Annihilate!"

Xia Chuan surpassed Kabuto's size, leaping through the air amidst the scattered energy plasma, but when he tried to strike Hypa Worm, he found he couldn't enter hyperchronization.

It wasn't because of losing its status as the world's ruler that the Hyper Worm was already able to be used in the Knight World; it was just that the effects differed to varying degrees.

"This is……"

While dodging the mechanical warriors' ranged attacks, Xia Chuan delved deeper into his telekinetic perception.

Zeme City, and even the entire Earth, was enveloped by a slowing field at some point. Not only was the speed-up effect restricted, but it also seemed that other Rider-related abilities were limited.

All acceleration and even time-related abilities are disabled.

In my perception, the Peerless Dragon is also sealed within the Mirror World and cannot be summoned.

That's quite a grand gesture.

The armored warriors and the cavalry didn't need to target him like that; these guys were coming for him directly and were extremely familiar with his abilities.

The good news is that the other side borrowed the power of the planet Megahex.

Xia Chuan looked up at the universe.

The space portal reopened, revealing a massive, metallic planet on the opposite side, radiating a mesmerizing pale blue halo through energy transmission.

The entire planet has become a living organism, which is quite terrifying even in the Ultraman universe.

"Bang!"

The mechanical warriors continued their relentless attack, their shields and swords transforming and flying into the air to form a ring around Xia Chuan, engaging him in close combat, while ranged units behind them prepared to unleash energy cannon fire.

It must be said that while the individual combat strength decreased with the increase in numbers, the overall strength did indeed become greater.

Or perhaps this is the optimal combat strategy that Megahex analyzed for him, to avoid the continued occurrence of individuals being instantly killed.

trouble.

"call out--!"

After blocking the shield and sword attack, Xia Chuan narrowly avoided the energy cannon attack that seized the opportunity, but his entire body was still blasted into a nearby high-rise building by a mechanical warrior.

boom!

The glass in the walls shattered and fell off, followed by a series of energy beams that formed hand seals, bombarding the huge gap in the building. Giving Xia Chuan no chance to catch his breath, the building instantly broke apart and was torn into pieces.

A shield of psychic energy condensed around Xia Chuan, blocking the impact of the explosion, but his body was out of control and crashed into another tall building.

A series of flashes erupted between the streets and buildings, followed by a series of explosions that caused the entire battlefield to collapse and become a scene of ruins.

Fortunately, due to the arrival of invading weapons, the surrounding population had already been evacuated, preventing large-scale casualties.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan flew out of the park lake with bursting water droplets. Facing the dense swarm of mechanical warriors approaching at high speed overhead, he quickly condensed a Knight Card in his hand and swung it towards his belt.

Since we can't use additional abilities, let's just fight with raw power.

He currently possesses quite a few powerful knight systems that directly contribute to combat.

Evil Weapon is a decent choice to fit the world of "Gaim," but the most suitable characters are Kuuga, the invincible player, and...

"Dark Kiva!"

The phantom of the Second Tooth Bat solidified, circled once, and then automatically merged into Natsukawa's belt.

"Despair! True terror is about to descend upon this world!"

"Quiet."

Xia Chuan pressed his finger against the chattering belt, swiped the skill card again, and bat wings on his legs unfolded. At the same time, a giant blood moon phantom floated in the air, and the special Kiva emblem enveloped all the mechanical warriors.

Dark Kiva is useful, but the personality of the second Fang Bat is completely opposite to his.

Why waste so much time on nonsense during a fight?
