Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 432 Containers

Research institute cafeteria.

The short-haired goddess awkwardly picked up a cup of coffee.

The tables have turned, and today it's Xia Chuan's turn to entertain her. However, the other party's identity makes her anything but happy, and her face gradually turns red.

She came here to find information and didn't intend to use any underhanded methods.

As one of the spies trained by Namba Heavy Industries since childhood, even though he has now defected to Tokyo, he has still inherited some of his habits.

This is also one of the few values ​​she has alongside Chuangqi.

"Cough cough."

The short-haired woman forced herself to remain calm.

I don't know why, but I have a feeling that I'm being seen through.

"Um, I only just found out about Knight Build's treason..."

Xia Chuan calmly observed the short-haired woman for a while, having already learned her identity.

Sawa Takikawa, one of the "Namba Children" trained by Namba Refinement as spies, was initially sent to Kiryu Sento's side as a freelance reporter to secretly collect information on Knight Build.

However, like most Japanese anime, there's always the trope of the rival being redeemed and then becoming an ally.

This woman should now be considered the intelligence expert for the main characters, and her purpose in coming to the research institute is obvious.

"Snapped!"

Without hesitation, Natsukawa directly threw out a USB drive containing a replica of Katsuragi Shinobu's database.

"Whether Founder betrays the country or not is none of my business. Help me give this to him. It contains Katsuragi Shinobu's database, including but not limited to the information you're looking for about Banjou Ryuga."

"Huh?"

Sawa Takikawa was stunned and stood there in surprise.

There's a strong sense of unreality.

"You're just giving it to me like this?"

"Consider it an investment of mine, since Dongdu still needs Chuangqi."

Natsukawa silently apologized to Katsuragi Shinobu.

It's a good opportunity to collect the interest from the research on the suitable candidates.

If it weren't for Shinobu Katsuragi, the suitor might not have attracted the attention of the vampires at that time.

Furthermore, Katsuragi Shinobu, who faked his death, wouldn't dare to show his face anyway.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking credit for yourself.

Of course, he wouldn't decrypt the encrypted content; he still needed some of the crucial information.

"Well……"

Sawa Takikawa blankly accepted the USB drive, only snapping out of her daze as she walked out of the restaurant.

Looking back at Xia Chuan's retreating figure disappearing into the passageway, I felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over my heart, and my vest was covered in cold sweat.

Yesterday's conversation at the coffee shop was overheard, including the later private talks in the underground base.

We found absolutely nothing...

The other party was definitely a top-tier spy far superior to her.

"They shouldn't be enemies, right?"

Sawa Takikawa put away the USB drive and quickened her pace as she left the research institute.

But what does investing mean?

"Whoosh!"

Inside the research institute, after Xia Chuan returned to the data room alone, ripples appeared around him due to the spread of his psychic power.

He had just sensed the energy fluctuations emanating from Pandora's Tower and also detected the battle aura emanating from within the tower.

Blood Lurk is mobilizing the power of the Magic Box, and the ones fighting against him are Kiryu Sento and Banjou Ryuga.

Among them, Wan Zhanglong's aura fluctuated violently, seemingly exceeding a certain critical point, and soon he unleashed a knight power far surpassing his previous strength.

"This must be the danger level of this world, right?"

Xia Chuan's eyes were bright.

The danger level is equivalent to the knight level in "Dynasty Warriors Build". 4.0 seems to correspond exactly to knight level 4, while Ryuga Banjo seems to have crossed 4.5 under the pressure of Blood Potential.

He had already gained a clear understanding from Shinobu Katsuragi's database.

Dramatic changes in emotions can increase the danger level. No wonder Ryuga Banjo lost his parents and girlfriend, and now even the protagonist Sento Kiryu is suffering because of it.

Blood Lurker, also known as Eberl, is eager to change his body.

However, that guy wasn't the only one eyeing Wan Zhanglong.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan left the research institute directly after submitting his data.

Without their own knight system, they had to find a replacement, since they couldn't rely on physical combat forever.

However, he no longer possesses the full Rider physique of his original form, and due to being a Hollow Origin Body, his transformation here is severely restricted, and he may not even be able to use a regular belt.

The only remaining option is to find a body to use as a vessel.

It seems there is no one more suitable than Manjō Ryūga.

……

Pandora's Tower.

Just as the fierce battle was reaching its final stage, the unleashed Manjou Gacha obtained Croz's Super Magma Mode, Cross-Z Magma, instantly turning the tide and almost completely overwhelming Bloodlust.

A fiery dragon roared and swept through the tower's interior, even smashing a huge hole in the ceiling. All the artificial monsters summoned by Blood Lurk were reduced to lava fragments.

"Excellent, Wan Zhang!!"

"Bang--!"

Sparks flew across the darkness as Bloodseeker was repeatedly struck and forced to retreat, finally collapsing under Crozier's deadly flying kick.

The sudden defeat only made Xue Qian more excited. He watched as Wan Zhanglong and his group took away Pandora's Box. Even though he was seriously injured, he kept laughing with his head down.

"Finally, the container is almost complete. All that's left is to find the ultimate driver, and everything will be ready. Hehehe..."

With no outsiders around, Bloodseeker unabashedly revealed his true colors, showing no trace of the pathetic state he had been in when he was beaten by Croz.

"That was fantastic, Wan Zhang! You certainly didn't disappoint me!"

"Um?!"

Bloodseeker, who was laughing halfway through, suddenly turned his head, but couldn't find anything. He then turned around again and again, his hand bursting with fiery energy.

"Who is it? Show yourself!"

"call--!"

Countless heat waves surged from the holes in the Pandora's Tower wall, forcing Xia Chuan, in his digitized form, to retreat and hastily enter a nearby electronic GG screen.

Unexpectedly, Ebert's senses were so sharp that he was discovered shortly after stepping into the Magic Tower.

"This must be his original power, right?"

Xia Chuan secretly observed the Blood Stealth that had followed the flames outwards.

Previously on the Sky Road, this guy deliberately attacked the Ryuga Driver, and now he is further guiding the birth of the Croz Lava Energy Bottle, while simultaneously unleashing the full potential of Ryuga.

The current Wan Zhanglong felt like the former Hei Kongwo, with an extremely unstable aura.

4.5 is far from the end.

"Damn it, that cowardly piece of trash!"

Bloodseeker blasted a war robot away with a powerful punch, his anger rising, and his good mood vanished instantly.

After confirming that no clues could be found, Xue Qian couldn't help but become somewhat suspicious: "Could it be those three guys?"

I have the tacit approval and support of the other three people, but it's not impossible for me to create some extra trouble for him.

Perhaps they are testing the waters.

"Hmph, just you wait," Bloodseeker clenched and unclenched his fingers, "Once I master the ultimate power, I won't need you anymore."

……

"Chief, are you alright? Just now..."

"It's nothing, I just took a nap."

Dongdu Advanced Materials Research Institute.

Xia Chuan dismissed his assistant again and returned to the research lab alone to tinker with the Genesis Driver sample.

Judging from the superpowers Eberl just displayed, he's still a bit behind, but not much weaker.

Once the other party gets the Evolution Driver, things will be even more uncertain.

At that time, Ebolt will gradually regain his power and become the complete form, gaining ultimate combat power at the planetary level or even beyond.

There are three other vampires. Unlike Eberl, the other three do not seem to need to recover their power, and they pose a much greater threat than Eberl at this stage.

If they really fought, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.

The most urgent task is to make arrangements with Wan Zhanglongwo. There's no need to possess him immediately; just leave a portion of the Collapse Source Virus.

It's like having Eberl work for him.

We'll deal with the rest once the main body arrives. If we can seize Eberst's power...

It's not impossible. Ebert also uses a belt driver, and it's a prototype of the Rider System. There's no reason why it can't be replicated.

"Yo."

A frivolous greeting suddenly rang out in the research room. Speak of the devil, and he appears. Before Xia Chuan could turn around, Xue Qian suddenly appeared with a cloud of smoke.

Not at all distant, Xue Qian looked around as if they were old friends, picking up a few reports now and then, before finally fixing his gaze on the Genesis Driver in Xia Chuan's hand.

"Hehe, I heard that a scientist comparable to Professor Katsuragi has come to Tokyo. But he seems to be a little lacking. Without nebula gas, he can only develop this unusable Knight System."

Xue Qian's tone was seductive as he leaned forward, getting closer to Xia Chuan.

"How are you? Do you need my help, Professor Kakui Yuya?"
