Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 425 Gods 2

"It failed?"

"How is that possible?"

The Second Research Institute of the Foundation had finally completed the transfer of the time-space device when the professor and others suddenly received feedback from headquarters, which they found utterly absurd.

"Even the specialists can't handle Decade?"

The professor gripped the communication tablet tightly, completely bewildered.

He had personally witnessed the power of the commissioner; he was simply not someone a knight could handle at this stage.

The so-called knight is ultimately just a derivative of dungeon development, merely a tool.

"Does a knight really possess such power? Or is Decade an exception?"

"That guy isn't just Decade," the professor said grimly, staring at the blurry image of Decade's belt. "He must have absorbed Decade's power and become a completely new being! The belt changed from white to red, and its strength is on a completely different level..."

"So who exactly is this person?"

The director's eyes flickered.

"Is it possible that they are also aliens? Humans could never reach this level, not only entering the realm of gods but also surpassing them. There is only one explanation."

"Is Decade also an alien?"

The professor's brow twitched slightly.

The alien alliance is not monolithic, and it is not surprising that other aliens might intervene.

"According to the data recorded at headquarters, Decade's extreme attack strength exceeded level nine. If the opponent is an alien, it does make sense."

"That way we can stay out of it," the director said with a smile. "The alien problem is for them to solve. We can just continue our research."

"But I'm so unwilling to accept this," the professor clenched his fist in frustration. "It was so close... I'm afraid there won't be another chance like this in the future. Are we just going to have to watch Decade continue to take the Knight dungeon?"

Upon hearing this, the director was slightly startled, opened his mouth as if to speak, but then stopped himself.

The data Decade stole from the research institute this time doesn't seem to be so simple either.

The other party had never been in such a hurry before.

"Don't forget the Fujiwara Group from before. Decade is probably a similar insect. If they were really powerful, they wouldn't be hiding like this."

"That's right. The core of the alliance is not an ordinary alien civilization. They're just preoccupied with the Knights Challenge."

……

School cafeteria.

The bespectacled boy casually played with the A-grade lemon lock seed he brought from Heim Forest, his attention drawn to the news about Genesis Driver on the SkyNet.

Kondo actually came back alive, not only unharmed, but also became a representative of the Knights, just like RX.

Perhaps he received some kind of compensation, but Kondo Isami appeared confident and smug in the news footage, looking like he was about to make it to level six.

Frankly, he personally hopes that Kondo Isami will continue to be absent.

He was more interested in Natsukawa than Kondo Isami.

Whether it's RX or the Lychee Knight system that Kondo Isami recently acquired, even at level six there's not much to explore, and it's far less impressive than the W fusion.

Moreover, no matter how you analyze it, the existence of W is illogical.

It's something that no human could possibly do.

As far as he knew, all of the Alliance's past fusion experiments had ended in failure, with only a few succeeding in dungeon worlds. But they couldn't even maintain their original level, let alone increase it.

"Hey, isn't that Kaminari-sensei?"

The chubby boy, who had ordered a lot of food, looked out the window in surprise and noticed the middle-aged man with the face of Goto standing next to Natsukawa, looking puzzled.

"That person is...."

"Kamen Rider Hero, formerly Bounty Rider Frog, can be considered a Kamen Rider in our school's camp."

The bespectacled boy glanced at the chubby boy out of the corner of his eye, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes, but he still touched his nose and casually explained.

As a complete data enthusiast, he particularly disliked these idiots who knew nothing but had incredibly good luck.

However, they are classmates after all, and if a knight war breaks out in this world in the future, he will still need to rely on the knights of the school's faction.

The chubby kid can at least become a level four knight, and with a bit of luck, he might even be promoted to level five.

Even though the Knight Era has been going on for eight years and there are even resources for advancement, fourth-level knights are still considered top-tier combat power, and very few people are qualified to become fifth-level knights.

Those who can break through level five are not normal people.

This chubby kid definitely has investment value; he might just become the next Kondo Isami.

Thinking of this, the bespectacled boy also looked out the window with curiosity.

Goto actually handed over the ninja weapon belt buckle to Natsukawa.

Only a very small percentage of fourth-level knights possess high-level equipment...

"Kaminaga."

In the restaurant's lounge area, Goto let go of his ninja belt buckle with a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with nostalgia, confusion, and determination.

"I'm going to go to headquarters through the alliance channels."

"You're leaving?" Xia Chuan asked, looking surprised.

He considered many possibilities: Goto might turn to the dark side or give up on himself, but he never thought of this.

In the Ultraman era, most monsters appeared in Japan, and the same is true in the current Knight Era.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the spacetime fog that separated the world, Tokyo would probably have already become a chaotic battlefield that triggered a world war.

The government's position here has been largely replaced by the Alliance, and a large number of research institutes and secret bases have been concentrated here, which have been transformed into a large-scale testing ground and the source of all data development by the Alliance.

Even the league's current points are almost entirely from the island nation.

Island nations are regions with extremely high mortality rates for ordinary people, but they are paradise for knights.

There is no better place for a bounty hunter to become stronger.

"You've joined the alliance directly?" Xia Chuan asked thoughtfully.

"I understand now."

Goto, looking somewhat uneasy, tugged at the gleaming gold necklace around his neck, his mind involuntarily conjuring up images of the god-level battles he'd witnessed in the "Armor" dungeon.

"The only way to revive Xiao Yan is to obtain the Great Power through the Knight Challenge. There is no hope of staying here. No one can surpass that one."

"Can it be done at headquarters?" Xia Chuan frowned slightly.

At the Alliance headquarters, they were facing aliens head-on, as well as the physical form of the concept god Ark, whose origins were unknown.

Who knows when they might become puppets.

"They've already promised to help me become stronger, to rival Decade or even higher levels."

Goto's gaze was firm, and before Natsukawa could speak, he pushed out the ninja belt buckle again.

"I know this isn't of much use to you anymore. If possible, please help me find a successor. I can no longer be considered a Kamen Rider, but I hope that the one who takes over will be a true Rider."

"Goto..."

Please!

Goto stood up and bowed deeply. When he raised his head again, there was a hint of resolute tears in his eyes.

"Without Xiaoyan, there's no reason for me to continue living. I have to leave no matter what!"
