Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 438, Stage 2

Outside the Pandora's Box storage location.

Kiryu Sento in the ambulance was still suffering from the alien toxins, but no matter how anxious Banjou Ryuga and the long-haired knight were, they could only fight Ebert in the open space in front of them.

"Damn it! I shouldn't have trusted this guy!"

"Defeating me will naturally cure the poison," Ebert said, stretching his shoulders and confidently facing the two knights' attack. "Unfortunately, you have no hope of winning; even if you attack together, it won't make a difference."

"Use the ultimate move!"

Wan Zhanglong gritted his teeth, knowing that the chances of winning were slim, and went all out in the fight.

It concerns the life and death of my partner and friend; there is no turning back.

Volcanic Attack!

"call!"

As the belt lever spun, several lava fire dragons followed the ten-thousand-foot-tall dragon as it soared into the air. As it rapidly descended, all the dragon's energy gathered in its right foot.

Beside him, Gris, now with long hair, coordinated perfectly, unleashing their ultimate combined attack.

"Bang--!"

Two knight kicks landed on Ebert at the same time, unleashing a burst of lava energy. After only a short while, Ebert had to roll back and retreat.

Despite failing to break through the defenses, Eberl still suffered a hidden loss.

Even the strongest Rider System couldn't withstand Ishido Soichi's physical limitations. If he hadn't been an astronaut and hadn't been possessed for 10 years, even transforming would have been a problem.

"Haha, not bad, not bad!"

After a wave of explosive impact, Ebert summoned his weapons and joined the battle, wielding a smoke gun in his left hand and a longsword in his right. Griez was eliminated and sent flying before Wan Zhanglong could react.

With overwhelming combat power, a single blitzkrieg was enough to force Gris to deactivate his transformation, revealing him as a long-haired youth before he tumbled to the ground.

"Haihai!"

Wan Zhanglong cried out in alarm and immediately launched a frenzied attack to hold back Ebert. The Croz Lava Armor, enraged, erupted with even more intense dragon-shaped flames.

"You bastard!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"That's it, Wan Zhang!"

Ebert let the heavy punches rain down on him, laughing as he retreated, before finally managing to retaliate with a clenched fist.

"Fight, Banjō! As long as there is battle, everything will be satisfied. Fight until everything is destroyed. No matter how much you deny it, we were born on this planet, we are this kind of cosmic race!"

"I don't understand what you're saying!"

I, Wan Zhanglong, retreated slightly, panting, after Eberl's counterattack. I then equipped the Lava Gauntlets and attacked again.

"Right now, all I want is to defeat you!"

"Danger level 4.7?" Ebert raised his hand to block the enraged attack of the towering dragon. "That's not enough. You and I are of the same life form; how could your strength be so weak?!"

"Shut up!" Banjō Ryūga intensified his attack. "I'm not like you! My battles are not for destruction, but for love and peace!"

"Hmph, how dare you say that? Do you even care about protecting humanity? Humanity itself started this war!"

Ebolt released his defense and taunted, waiting until Banjō Ryūga's danger level stopped at 4.8 before suddenly gripping the belt joystick. With a burst of energy, he kicked the berserk Banjō Ryūga back to his original form.

"Accept your fate. You are a part of me who has taken the lives of thousands!"

"lofty……"

The long-haired youth struggled to hold onto the corner of the wall, looking at the struggling and fighting dragon.

The gap is too big.

"Don't be impulsive, Banjō! Transforming again will be mortally dangerous!"

"Hmph," Ebert casually crossed his arms, "Now what are you going to do? Continue fighting, sacrifice yourself to save War Rabbit?"

……

Dongda Hospital.

Xia Chuan remained standing by the window, ignoring the broken glass beneath her feet and gazing into the distance, while behind her, Shi Dong Misora ​​huddled at the foot of the bed, hugging her legs.

"So, like Bellnage, you're also a survivor of Ebert's destruction of the planet?"

"You could say that."

Xia Chuan stood with his hands in his pockets and did not deny it.

After all, she was just a young girl. With the preconceived notion of being the Martian princess, it was easy for him to imagine a completely new identity.

He didn't care about space refugees or anything like that, as long as it didn't involve the seal.

"Please keep this a secret for me. It would be troublesome if Ebert found out."

"Um!"

Misora ​​Ishidou stared at Natsukawa and nodded vigorously, a hint of sympathy in her eyes. She became much bolder and even wanted to approach and pat his head to comfort him, but quickly shrank back after realizing that she was an alien.

"Danger level 4.8." Xia Chuan suddenly looked out the window again.

4.8, 4.9, 5.0...

"Whoosh!"

As night fell, the transformed Lava Croz seemed like a demon emerging from a sea of ​​fire, sparks shooting several meters high and the ground melting from the intense heat.

The next moment, the two fighting figures collided violently under the long-haired youth's gaze. The energy released formed a huge fireball, and the entire area was lifted up by the shockwave as a burst of intense light erupted.

"Bang—!"

Cement, soil, and rock fragments exploded and flew everywhere.

When the long-haired youth recovered, only the eerie silhouette of the ten-thousand-foot-tall dragon remained in the fiery ruins, and the battle rabbit had somehow recovered from the poison's corrosive effects.

"lofty?"

The long-haired youth swallowed hard, glanced at the battle rabbit that had recovered but was unusually weak, and tentatively shouted at Wan Zhanglongwo.

"What exactly are you...?"

"Hehe, the container is finally finished."

Ignoring the long-haired youth, Wan Zhanglong picked up the Evolution Driver with sharp eyes and reinserted the two Evolution Energy Bottles.

"Now I am the real Eberst!"

"What?"

"Transform!"

Beneath the billowing black smoke, a brand new Eberst armor fused together and took shape, instantly shattering the hopes of everyone present.

"Dragon!"

"Rider System!"

"Evolution!"

Ebolt's second stage, dragon form.

An even more intense oppressive aura spread in all directions, suppressing even the fire.

"What a pity, I won in the end. But I did cure you of the poison, so you kept your promise, right?"

Ignoring the shock of Zhan Tu and the others, Ebert grabbed the energy bottle briefcase that was part of the trade from a distance, chuckled a few times, and prepared to leave. The next moment, however, he suddenly clutched his chest in alarm.

"How could this be... What is this?"

"Whoosh!"

A red light shone in Xia Chuan's eyes as he gazed through his spiritual world at the new Knight Card that was gradually taking shape.

Unlike the knight cards below level five that can be easily obtained, this was a glowing card that seemed to be imprinted with the laws of fire. Streams of light swirled and converged, finally depicting the lifelike dragon form of Ebert on the card surface.

"not bad."

The card level didn't exceed level six, but there are still plenty of opportunities to improve it.

Most importantly, he can use this power without an evolution driver, and when his true form arrives, his Rider System will surely be upgraded to a higher level.

"Who is it?!"

Ebert looked around in shock and anger, ignoring Zhan Tu and the others, and quickly grabbed his suitcase and rushed into the building behind. After picking up the Pandora's Box stored inside, he immediately disappeared from Dongdu.

"Who is it?!"

Pandora's Tower.

Ebert had barely appeared when he groaned and knelt down, Pandora's Box rolled and fell, and the energy bottle detached from the suitcase and scattered all over the ground.

"Sizzle!"

Waves of energy crackled across the armor's entire body, and even Ebolt's attempt to deactivate the transformation did not alleviate the damage.

It is I, a dragon of immense size!

Wan Zhanglong: I have a health problem!

"Damn it!"

Eberth suppressed his weakness and activated his mental powers.

He must destroy that strange card that absorbs his power as soon as possible.
