Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 423 The Riders of the Heavens

"What 'decade' is there?"

Xia Chuan used his telekinesis to scan the entire area and discovered that the game domain was completely unable to stop the incantation's erosion.

This malicious energy is much stronger than the last Ark-I.

I don't know if it's because of the three mechanical warriors in front of me, or if that concept god has leveled up again.

While pondering, Xia Chuan temporarily withdrew all his mental energy and turned it into defense.

He didn't really care whether the gaming world was encroached upon or not, as it was originally only used for closed-off battles.

Moreover, no matter how powerful a concept god is, it still needs to rely on a carrier.

Eliminating the mechanical warriors would solve all the problems.

The only thing to be careful about is not being maliciously corrupted.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan condensed the Chronos Knight Card behind his back, and before the three mechanical warriors could get close, he quickly swiped it across his belt camera.

"Buggle Up! Riders of the Sky! (Wow!) Engraved in the annals! This moment is the ultimate moment! (Wow!)"

"Pause!"

time out.

Time and spacetime stand still, and the entire game scene falls into darkness. The three mechanical knights remain in an attack posture, while only the red and black runes evolved from malicious energy continue to erode the environment.

It is still usable.

While it might reveal a trump card and lead the league to link him to the Game Cavaliers incident, such things can't be kept secret for long anyway, and he'd rather not expose any other trump cards.

After all, he had used the power of the Game Riders before, which must have aroused suspicion from the League.

"Click click click!"

Spacetime rifts spread along the maliciously eroded area. Xia Chuan felt a chill in his heart and, without further hesitation, continued to activate the power of Chronos. His left foot gathered the green-gold energy and projected a huge clock phantom.

"Finishing Move, Critical Hit Relief!"

"The final blow!"

As Chronos's cloak and skirt fluttered, the Knight Kick was released in a counter-clockwise rotation, and the clock hands beneath her feet accelerated in sync, landing on the three mechanical knights before simultaneously entering a time-stopped state.

Aside from needing the gaming industry to support it, Chronos Time Stop is already quite close to perfect.

He either needs to possess the power of a game god immune to time stop or an invincible player, or he can only rely on brute force to destroy the domain. Malicious energy can achieve this through erosion, but this amount of time is enough for him to take action.

"Um?"

Just as Xia Chuan was about to undo the time stop after delivering the strongest attack, he suddenly discovered a spacetime rift piercing through the positions of the three mechanical knights. Before the time stop was over, the ultimate attack effect was prematurely triggered, and a terrifying explosion leveled half of the mountain.

"Bang--!"

Earth, rocks, and vegetation exploded, and Xia Chuan Kronos's body was also tumbled and rolled repeatedly under the impact of the air waves, only managing to regain his footing after falling and sliding down to the valley below.

call!

Chronos's ultimate attack shouldn't be this devastating. Most attacks in the Kamen Rider world are single-target attacks, which might cause massive destruction, such as Kuuga's inability to perfectly control the sealed energy, but definitely not Chronos.

His attack was intended to destroy the mechanical warriors, not to trigger a massive explosion, and he didn't even unleash his full combat potential.

"Restart!"

The time stop was forcibly lifted, and the exploded hilltop suddenly erupted with even stronger malicious energy, instantly turning the entire space red and black.

Xia Chuan silently switched back to invincible player mode, suppressing his doubts and staring intently at the center of the explosion.

The original three auras had dwindled to just one, but their intensity had increased many times over, giving him the feeling of facing that same spiritual life form monster directly.

"steam!"

A large amount of hot white mist dissipated, and a red and black figure stepped out of the explosion zone on the runic liquid. The electronic eyes emitted a man-eating red light, and three mixed voices sounded at the same time as if chanting a spell.

"Decade, your end has come!"

"You've actually forced us to unite as one; your danger level is far too high. You must be eliminated!"

"Let's see who you really are first!"

What the heck?

Xia Chuan felt the pressure coming from all directions and couldn't help but frown.

It was still his game, but it turned into the other party's home turf, and this weird thing...

"Bang!"

A faint afterimage flashed by, and suddenly the red and black figure appeared in front of Xia Chuan like a ghost in the distance, launching an attack like a terrifying tsunami.

Xia Chuan only had time to raise his arm before being slammed into the mountainside by the immense force, violently breaking through a series of rocks and soil before reappearing on the other side of the mountain.

It's actually improved to this level!

"Swish!"

Natsukawa quickly raised his psychic barrier, and the next moment he was indeed hit hard on the head. His Knight Driver was also suddenly hit by a malicious spell. However, Natsukawa used the force to fall into the lake below and shake off the spell.

"Thump!"

This is troublesome.

Relying solely on level 8.0 combat power is no longer sufficient to end the battle.

It's unclear how long this state of the other party can last.

If it drags on for too long, he will probably be in an even worse situation once the fusion dungeon outside is over.

With the alliance so well-prepared, the other side of the instance might very well have a backup plan.

If the fusion instance falls into the hands of the Alliance, being excluded would be a minor issue; he might even be forcibly controlled and captured alive.

As the ruler of the world, he was well aware of the permissions that the alliance could obtain.

Putting everything else aside, the malicious energy that will descend upon the instance will definitely be even more powerful.

They might not even have a chance to escape using the dimensional barrier.

"Splash!"

Suddenly, a torrential downpour began in the game space without warning.

The lake surface was washed by rain, and as the water droplets splashed, large amounts of water vapor rose, instantly turning the scene into a misty haze, even slowing down the rate of erosion by the malicious spell.

"Gurgle!"

As the bubbly water surged through the air, Knight Xia Chuan sank to the bottom of the lake. Looking up, he saw the red and black warriors suspended above the lake, and the feeling of facing a monster head-on became even stronger.

So that's how it is; it was those alien alliance members who made the move.

He knew this day would come sooner or later, and now it was even too late.

His own secrets, the knight's copy he possesses, and the challenger privilege points sufficient to rival the Alliance all mean that he is destined to become a target that must be dealt with.

At the cost of the "Riding" instance, so many things were set up, and it's unclear what methods were used to restrict his abilities. Even his game abilities were just a trap deliberately left for him, plus the malicious concept god... It's clear that the Alliance is determined to win.

In theory, all his possibilities were indeed blocked.

Fortunately, he has a habit of hiding himself.

The league does not have all of his data.

"Sizzle!"

As Xia Chuan stopped sinking, his psychic barrier opened up to obscure the view of the undercurrents, and a series of knight card images appeared around him.

"Hmph, thinking you can escape like this? Foolish!"

"Weak humans."

The red and black mechanical warriors looked up and rose into the air. Then, they formed hand seals, and the red and black destruction bullets, similar to Megahex's techniques, suddenly expanded. The surrounding rainwater evaporated instantly, and the lake surface rippled with countless splashes as if it were boiling.

At the same time, Xia Chuan also integrated the images of more than a dozen Knight Cards into his body.

"Boom!"

Before the red and black destructive bullets were released, a channel composed of mirror images of knight cards locked onto the mid-air mechanical warrior.

Similar to Decade's special move, but the card art is entirely composed of the Knight Cycle fused with Natsukawa, like a light bridge connecting heaven and earth formed by overlapping cards.

Binding, immobilization, tracking, breakthrough, collapse...

"What is it?"

The red and black mechanical warrior froze, and a huge eyeball phantom formed from spiritual energy appeared, seemingly trying to escape the game's domain. However, the next moment, it was swallowed up by the destruction bomb along with the mechanical warrior's body.

"Decade!!"

"Ugh—!"

"Bang----!"

After a bright flash spread, spacetime collapsed, and the entire game realm was fragmented and dissolved in the nuclear-bomb-like explosion. All the malicious energy was swept away, and in the end, only Xia Chuan staggered back to the streets of Tokyo with his tattered armor.

Careless.

The explosion was so violent that he was almost torn apart by time and space when he used the Rider Kick. Fortunately, the Game Rider had the ability to end the game.

"Ahem!"

Xia Chuan checked his physical condition, but he still couldn't relax.

He only destroyed the copy carrier, which at most had a part of the spiritual life form clone. Now that it doesn't have the identity and authority of the world master, it would be troublesome if that big guy forcibly broke in.

If he's pulled into this mental state by his opponent, he definitely can't win.

"call--!"

A gust of wind swept through the streets of Tokyo, casting large shadows. Only then did Xia Chuan realize that the phantom of the planet Megahex had appeared extensively overhead.

After the assimilation process was interrupted, the planet Megahex actually planned to directly devour and transform Earth.

"What kind of script is this?"
