Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 43 The Strongest in the Ge Group

"Buzz!"

Xia Chuan looked around, reached out and grabbed the descending golem's hook foot, and continued to switch from Azure Dragon form to Pegasus form to sense his surroundings.

Vehicles, pedestrians... after filtering through countless pieces of information, even though Xia Chuan endured the throbbing pain in his head and expanded the search area to a 3-kilometer radius, he still found nothing unusual.

Anti-materiel weapons are special sniper weapons designed to deal with targets such as aircraft, armored vehicles, and ships that have a certain level of protection. Their range and destructive power are far greater than those of ordinary sniper rifles, and when a person is hit by one, it often results in the horrific phenomenon of limb separation.

Even if he were hit directly, it would be extremely dangerous.

Kuuga is not known for its defense, especially against penetrating wounds.

Whether it's Kuuga or the Grongi, what's truly formidable is the super-strong regenerative ability brought about by the Spirit Stone's nervous system. The Nerve Severing Bullet in Kuuga also focuses on this regenerative ability.

Without fusing with the spirit stone, he could only establish a connection with it through his own special physique.

Its recovery ability is already far weaker than that of a normal Kuuga or a Gurongi.

Not to mention that the form he just transformed into wasn't even the Titan form with the strongest defense.

Anti-material sniping could be fatal to him.

"Buzz!"

After sensing the area again, Xia Chuan had to switch back to his Azure Dragon form under the onslaught of a massive amount of information.

Still, not a trace can be found.

It's almost impossible for someone to escape his perception range so quickly, especially while carrying an anti-materiel weapon.

Ordinary people can't do it, and even Kabuto can't use the uptime function.

unless……

"A magician's tool?"

"Witch Knight" is also an equipment-based knight game, and the magic rings in it possess various extraordinary abilities, one of which is teleportation.

Xia Chuan paused slightly, and after noticing that Fujiwara and the others below had arrived following the sound, he firmly grasped Golem and took off, flying away from the scene.

In any case, it's certain that someone wanted to kill him.

Moreover, it belongs to a certain knightly faction.

It's really troublesome.

Although he has no ambition, as long as he remains active, he will still be a thorn in the side of some people.

Even though he demonstrated some strength, he was not immortal after all, which only aroused more fear.

"call!"

Natsukawa took out the gold card given to him by Fujiwara Ichiichi amidst the cold air at high altitude.

This is a type of anonymous card, and it's very easy to use; you just need to integrate it into your body.

But it's a bit of a hassle for him.

He had seen the trainees using the bronze cards, and although there was no explanation on them, whether or not these things would be used for tracking was a big question.

If he were located at this point, even a fool would know that he is empty.

The attacks were not as simple as this one.

"It would be great if there were other ways to use it..."

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan pondered, his head aching.

Suddenly, a flash of golden light appeared, and the golden card instantly separated from the illusory card face.

The next moment, the virtual card spontaneously merged into my body.

"Um?"

A system panel appeared in Xia Chuan's mind, and a new item, "Items," suddenly appeared at the bottom.

Item: Knight Gold Card (sealed, can be loaded at any time).

"..."

That's really thoughtful, but why does this thing seem more and more like a knight evolution system?

Xia Chuan silently watched the golden card in his hand turn into specks of light and disappear.

It seems there is still a lot of room for exploration in my rudimentary system.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the Ultraman universe I remember.

Will it eventually become that Ultraman universe?

……

"It failed."

In a basement, a yellow magic knight named Mage appeared with a magic circle. His teleportation magic ring suddenly turned to sand, and the knight collapsed to the ground in pain as if he had been severely injured.

"Hmm!"

"Please give me another chance..."

"Since we've already alerted them, let's hide for now."

A person emerged from the darkness, looking down at the sand-covered ring.

"The strongest Kamen Rider Kuuga... Once he truly obtains the power of magic, Kuuga will be nothing to fear."

At the same time, all the knights suddenly noticed that the knight rankings had changed.

The previously blank list was suddenly filled with "Kuuga".

The person wearing the outfit is a question mark, the score is a question mark... all the information is a question mark, even the knight's head is just a black silhouette.

"This guy... he really did join the Knights Challenge!"

Almost all the knights felt a chill run down their spines, including Fujiwara Daiichi, who had personally handed over the card.

What's even more terrifying than being number one on the list is that there's only one person on it.

Why can someone get on the list after only getting a card?

Fujiwara noichi didn't quite understand.

Even if cards are fused, it should still start from scratch...

"That's strange, why did Kuuga suddenly join the challenge?" someone complained. "That guy clearly doesn't have the authority."

"Shh, I heard it was Kabuto who gave it to you."

"Well……"

"Damn it, why does this world even have a guy like this? Who can beat him?"

"Ha, just a clown. I don't believe he can stay in the lead. Besides, the first batch of knights haven't even started yet."

"The first batch?"

"I heard that the first batch consisted of terrifying beings, using the original prototype. Those who are still alive are absolute powerhouses. Kabuto is only from the second batch..."

"A prototype? One of those obsolete shuttles? Weren't they supposed to be pretty useless?"

"What do you know? It might be useless to ordinary people, but it's the exact opposite for geniuses. Otherwise, why do you think Kabuto is so powerful?"

"Besides, the rankings only show our J country region. Outside of Japan, Kuga might be nothing."

"Kuuga..."

In the restaurant, Sakurai Keikazu sat awkwardly opposite his older sister.

"Sis, I have a feeling that Kuuga will be the one to win in the end. I wonder what his wish will be."

"What are you muttering to yourself? Are you sick?" My older sister touched Sakurai Keikaku's forehead. "I just wanted to ask you for Kaminaga's phone number."

……

"You made the list?"

Knight School.

Xia Chuan opened his laptop and browsed the Knights Forum using Murai Ryota's account, finding that many people were discussing Kuuga.

His words were harsh, but they also allowed him to indirectly learn a lot of information that the school did not have.

Whether it's a monster crisis or a monster crisis, Japan is the main stage, so it also has an early advantage after the arrival of the Knight Era.

Unfortunately, there was still a suzerain state above it.

Country J is largely the same as its home island nation on Earth, or even worse, because all kinds of disasters first happen here, and its own situation is also very awkward. After the Knight Era began, it had to share all kinds of technological information.

The Knights League was also founded at that time.

As for the Cavaliers Challenge...

No one knows the origin of it; all that is known is that it suddenly appeared after the alliance was established, and each country and region operates independently.

Some speculate that there will be a global final after the regional winners.

The winner of the final will gain great power and fulfill all their wishes.

"Sure enough, there's something wrong here."

After gathering the information, Xia Chuan pondered silently.

Both the formation of the league and the Cavaliers Challenge are somewhat strange.

I have a feeling that there are aliens involved.

He had watched "New Ultraman".

The aliens in the story far surpass humans in both technology and intelligence, easily manipulating human politics. They are advanced life forms that are difficult for ordinary humans to contend with.

If we were to draw an analogy, the other party views humans in the same way that humans view chimpanzees and monkeys.

With such a vast gap in thinking and technology, controlling human civilization is actually not too difficult.

And then again...

Many events in the Knight Rider world can be traced back to aliens, and some belts are even alien creations.

Putting aside other factors, the cores of the Gurongi and Kuuga are related to extraterrestrial meteorites, so it's not impossible that they were experimental biological weapons by aliens.

Xia Chuan tapped his finger lightly.

In any case, he needs to be careful.

Whatever the conspiracy, that's fine. The key issue is that as the former human host of Ultraman, he is naturally viewed with hostility by other aliens.

There might still be many enemies of Ultraman on Earth, and they might even transfer their hatred for Zoffy onto Ultraman...

"Are you Kuuga?" one of the knights who had been tricked into revealing information by Natsukawa suddenly asked in confusion.

"No," Xia Chuan typed back, "I'm not that Kuuga."

"That's true. You're a newcomer this year, right? Would you like to join my team?"

"Snapped!"

Xia Chuan exited the forum and closed his computer. Instead of continuing to probe for information, he looked up at the match between Fujiwara Saiji and Murai Ryota Kuuga in the training field.

The inclusion of "Kuuga" on the list seems to have been a great stimulus to the trainees, especially these two.

One said he couldn't let "Master Kuuga" down, while the other wanted to control his own power as soon as possible.

Ryota Murai hadn't forgotten the terror of Daguba, and seemed a little anxious.

However, the more anxious one becomes, the harder it is to control one's own power, which in turn causes the spirit stone to become even more agitated.

If this continues, he might completely lose control due to his fear of Daguba and become the ultimate Kuuga with black eyes.

Xia Chuan gently rubbed his temples.

That won't do. Dealing with Dagu alone is already a headache; he doesn't want to add another Ultimate Kuuga.

Unless these two happen to face off, it could easily lead to uncontrollable consequences.

If Daguba runs away halfway...

That guy has changed a lot too.

"Get some rest, Murai."

Xia Chuan called out, "Stop!"

"That won't work. What you need to overcome is yourself. You need a kind and calm heart and not be swayed by other emotions."

"But my advisor..."

Murai Ryota, slightly out of breath, deactivated his transformation, his face full of worry.

"That guy's in Tokyo. I sensed it. He's going to kill me!"

"Are you scared?" Natsukawa could clearly sense Murai Ryota's fear. "Is it because of the Hokkaido incident?"

"Um."

Murai Liangdai lowered his head in silence.

How could I not be scared?

If it weren't for another Kuuga appearing last time, he probably would have already died at Daguba's hands.

Now that Daguba has come to Tokyo to hunt him down, he certainly won't let him go.

"Don't overthink it, no one will kill you."

Natsukawa handed Murai Ryo a bottle of water.

"Isn't there another empty space around me?"

"Mentor! Murai!"

Fujiwara Saiji, who was wiping away sweat nearby, suddenly shouted in surprise.

"A post has appeared online predicting murders, apparently posted by the Gurongi! At 11 a.m., 243 people will disappear from a rainbow in the sky, and at 16 p.m., 324 people will disappear from the sun over the sea..."

Are you kidding me?

Haruto said disdainfully.

"How could a Gurongi post something like this online? It's probably one of those imitators again..."

"It's not impossible; the announcement itself is a kind of murder rule."

Xia Chuan also saw the announcement post.

Unbeknownst to many, the Kikiru game has entered the final stage of the Ge Group.

The number of murders has surged, and there are online warnings... If he remembers correctly, it should be the work of Shark Gurongi, one of the strongest trio in the Ge Group.

Although they belong to the Ge Group, the strength of these three individuals far surpasses that of the Ge Group's Gurongi. Each of them possesses a form-switching ability similar to Kuuga, and they are extremely dangerous.

These three were only interested in each other and Daguba. Killing was just something they did on a whim, unlike other Gurongi who would make things more difficult to prove themselves. Therefore, each of them would cause a massacre.

Xia Chuan looked thoughtful.

The game went much faster than expected.

In the ancient dungeon, he dealt with more than just the current Grongi from the Ge Group. He didn't know whether the remaining ones were killed by Daguba or didn't have a chance to participate in the game.

"You guys continue training," Natsukawa said, turning to Murai and the others. "I have some errands to run."

"They told us to continue training..."

Fujiwara Saiji watched Natsukawa leave, puzzled.

"Is our mentor going to see that Asami investigator from the support team again?"

"Speaking of which, my mentor is indeed at the age where he should get married; he's already 35."

……

"So enjoyable? You want to kill 243 at once... Too easy, it's a piece of cake for you."

"I still want to advance to the next round, so I won't waste my energy here."

Narita Airport.

The Ge Group's strongest trio has reunited, and a bespectacled woman dressed as an administrative staff member is looking at her laptop with a broad smile.

"Maybe we can even have a little sparring session then."

"Is this the place?"

Inside the airport, Xia Chuan checked the announcement post one last time, and soon spotted Rose Woman near the tarmac.

Unlike before, she changed into a red shawl-covered dress and even changed her hairstyle, with curly hair falling to her shoulders, giving her a rather soft and feminine look.

"kuuga..."

Upon seeing Xia Chuan, Rose Girl couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her eye.

"You found us so quickly? You want to end this once and for all?"

"I was pretty lucky."

Xia Chuan turned his gaze to the other side, where the three strongest members of the Ge Group had gathered.

Although it would hasten the arrival of ultimate darkness, he certainly wouldn't refuse to take care of these guys all at once.

The top 3 should be enough to push him to level 3.

Moreover, Rose Girl is also there, so even if there are some shortcomings, they can be made up for by Rose Girl.

"Um?"

The "General" suddenly sensed something and looked at Rose Woman. Upon seeing Xia Chuan not far from Rose Woman, he frowned deeply.

"It's that human again... What exactly does 'Baruba' mean?"

"Maybe she's fallen for a human," the woman with glasses chuckled. "She's just a human, let her be."

"That person..."

Upon noticing that Xia Chuan was walking towards them, the "General" suddenly felt uneasy.

I didn't think much of it when I glanced at it last time, but after actually meeting it in person, I felt like I was facing Daguba.

How is that possible?

"Very strong!"

The burly, muscular man next to him, whose strength was second only to the "General," was tense, his teeth chattering slightly as he stared directly at Xia Chuan. For a moment, he even had a hallucination, as if he saw Daguba's white-clad figure walking out of the white light.

"Daguba!"

"wrong……"

"Transformation."

As Xia Chuan passed through the blind spot of the airport, his waist belt appeared, and he suddenly transformed into Kuuga All-Powerful Form in front of the three people. Then, as golden electricity was released, he further transformed and sublimated into All-Powerful.

"Kuuga?!"

"Sizzle!"

Unlike the temporary transformation, Xia Chuan directly stabilized the golden power.

After all, they were facing the three strongest members of the Ge Group at the same time, so they still had to expend their physical strength.

It's a two-in-one app, but I always feel like I don't have enough time.
