Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 44 Warrior

"Rainbow Airlines Flight 706 is about to take off..."

"RAS706..."

At the airport gate, a mother and daughter hurriedly boarded the plane with their luggage, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the announcement.

While the woman was busy arranging her luggage, the little girl looked curiously out the window.

"Mom, there are people over there on the track!"

"Stop fooling around, Yuka, she's just a staff member, sit down."

"But……"

"Bang!"

Airport Runway.

Xia Chuan dodged the water buffalo Gurongi's frontal punch, grabbed his wrist, and quickly moved sideways, as if engaging in a tug-of-war.

Even though Xia Chuan was in his enhanced all-around form, he almost lost the battle in terms of strength.

This Gurongi reminded him of the strongest Zi-class rhinoceros Gurongi; it was practically a super-enhanced version of the rhinoceros Gurongi.

Moreover, unlike the rhinoceros Gurongi who only uses brute force, this guy's fighting ability should not be underestimated.

After all, he was the second strongest Grongi of the Grongi class. Even in Kuuga, he was killed by the super sealing power formed by the combination of the Ascended Omnipotent and the Ascended Leap Golem.

The level of difficulty is far beyond what the previous Gurongi-level Gurongi could handle.

The difference between these guys and ordinary Kuuga-class is like the difference between the Kuuga Rising Form and the ordinary form.

"call!"

Glancing at the shuttle bus's front end, which had been smashed to pieces by a punch behind him, Xia Chuan forcefully slapped the water buffalo Gurongi back with his left hand, not giving the guy another chance to throw a punch.

His strength was much greater, but the Buffalo Gurongi's fists had sharp weapons similar to brass knuckles, which could easily leave a row of bloody holes when they landed on his body.

"You're really strong, Kuuga!"

The buffalo gurongi steadied itself quickly, its muscles twitching violently in pain.

"With such powerful fists, why use them to protect the Lindo (humans)?"

Xia Chuan put away his fist, his gaze sweeping over the other Gurongi watching from the other side, and then surveying the surrounding environment of the airport.

He had specifically studied the airport layout before coming.

Located in Narita, Chiba, this place is spacious and there is a planned construction site nearby, making it ideal for handling the Gurongi explosion.

The question is how to transfer it over.

"He's in your hands now, Baberu."

The female administrator maintained her smile, checked the time on her watch, and then turned to walk with her laptop toward the Rainbow Airlines flight that was about to take off.

The match itself is more important than facing Kuuga.

"Time is up……"

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan looked at the parked plane, suddenly sprinted forward, and with a wave of his hand, blasted away the Buffalo Gurongi who was about to attack. At the same time, his body instantly switched to the sublimated Azure Dragon form and caught up with the bespectacled woman.

Although it was to deal with the three strongest members of the Ge Group, the cause was the murder threat from the bespectacled female shark, Grongi.

Judging from this guy's behavior, his target was undoubtedly the more than 200 passengers on this Rainbow Airlines plane.

It would be troublesome if we let this guy board the plane.

This is really a headache.

If we could eliminate these Gurongi without triggering a massive explosion, that would be ideal; otherwise, we'd always be hampered.

"What?"

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan casually kicked off a section of the guardrail steel pipe, which transformed into a sublimated Azure Dragon Staff, and thrust it out directly amidst the bespectacled woman's astonished exclamation.

The bespectacled woman reacted quickly, revealing her shark form almost simultaneously. She withstood the sealing power unleashed by the Ascended Azure Dragon Staff, and the red sealing text disappeared after only a few seconds.

However, even though the sealing power disappeared, the core of the Shark Gurongi Belt was still affected.

Unlike the orthodox ancient Kuuga who had no concept of killing, Natsukawa's goal was always to eliminate the Gurongi. The sealing script was also changed accordingly, with the aim of destroying the core magic stone of the Gurongi belt.

"Ugh!"

After taking a few steps back, Shark Gurongi stiffened, clutching the energy-surging core of his belt in pain. After a brief struggle, he suddenly transformed from a more agile and nimble body into a stronger and more powerful one.

As one of the strongest trio in the Grongi Group, Shark Grongi has two powerful forms, corresponding to Kuuga's Rising Azure Dragon and Rising Titan respectively, and is also stronger than Kuuga.

Under normal circumstances, the power of sublimation is unlikely to have any effect on it, a fact that Xia Chuan was well aware of; otherwise, he would not have attacked directly.

"Sizzle!"

Faced with the shark Gurongi who transformed his waist ornament into a longsword, Xia Chuan's belt surged with electricity and simultaneously transformed into an Ascended Titan form, covering his body in heavy armor, and his Ascended Azure Dragon Staff also transformed into an Ascended Titan Sword.

"Kuuga!"

At this moment, the buffalo gurongi that had been knocked away roared and charged over, just like the shark gurongi in front of him. After transforming into a superhuman, it wielded a hammer and smashed down with all its might.

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan dodged the hammer blows, parried the shark Gurongi's attack with his sword, and then slashed down with tremendous force amidst its angry shouts.

The two Gurongi figures were sent flying backwards at the same time, and red sealing characters appeared on their bodies. They roared and roared for a while before calming down.

Although the power of the enhanced seal couldn't kill the two, the pain was no less intense.

"Kuuga!!"

"Da da!"

Xia Chuan, sword in hand, once again approached the two who had broken free of the seal.

This time, the two Gurongi had no more illusions, and their gazes toward Xia Chuan were filled with solemnity.

"He's actually Kuuga."

The "general" who had been watching with narrowed eyes from behind showed a fluctuating expression.

"However, his power is still more than that."

He is capable of doing the same.

It was far from enough to give him a sense of danger similar to that of Daguba.

Logically speaking, as the victor of the ancient era, Kuuga shouldn't be so simple.

Why did he hold back?

The "general" turned to look at the Rose Woman, who was smiling but remained silent.

At the same time.

Hiroko Asami led her team aggressively into the control tower and quickly stopped a Rainbow Airlines plane that was about to take off.

"Emergency situation, contact RAS706!"

"This is the control tower..."

"What's going on, senpai?" Kazumi Takahashi asked, confused. "Why all this fuss at the airport? And what does it have to do with that announcement post?"

"The rainbow in the sky refers to Rainbow Airlines aircraft. The number of passengers on RAS706 just meets the predicted number of murders, so..."

Hiroko Asami is decisive and efficient, with a strong businesswoman demeanor, but she suddenly froze by the window after noticing the commotion on the runway below.

"What happened next?"

Hiroko Asami zoomed in on her phone while asking questions of the airport staff.

Soon, after the shaky footage stabilized, Natsukawa Kuuga in his new form entered the frame first.

"Sir!" an airport official cried out in alarm, "There are Gurongi over there on the runway! The situation is terrible..."

"call out--!"

An aircraft was slowly descending along the runway. By the time the airport authorities reacted, the wheels had already hit the ground. At that point, it was too late to take evasive action, and the aircraft could only continue to taxi on the runway.

"squeak!"

Hearing the violent friction of the wheels behind him, Xia Chuan turned to catch the longsword thrust out by the shark-like Gurongi, while throwing aside the Ascended Titan Sword with his other hand and grabbing the hammerhead that the buffalo-like Gurongi was smashing down.

"Bang!"

Unlike a regular hammer, the Buffalo Gurongi's weapon is like a hammer with sharp spikes at both ends. Even in his Ascended Titan form, Xia Chuan didn't want it to fall on him, but at the same time, he couldn't let the aircraft's wheels get accidentally damaged.

With the strength of those two, the machine wheel simply couldn't withstand the attack.

"drink!"

As the planes landing behind them drew closer, Xia Chuan unleashed tremendous force with both hands, simultaneously pushing the two Gurongi off the runway.

"It's Kuuga!"

After the plane came to a stop, it turned and drove off the runway.

The shuttle bus was ready early, but the passengers' attention was no longer on disembarking. They exclaimed in surprise as they watched Xia Chuan fighting outside.

"Sizzle!"

As he strode forward, the weapons of the two Gurongi were forcibly transformed into Ascended Titan Swords in Xia Chuan's hands.

Before the two could react, Xia Chuan swung out two Ascended Titan Swords, and the red seal mark reappeared.

"Bang!"

"Walk!"

The shark Gurongi, in agony, was the first to retreat, its gaze towards Xia Chuan filled with both resentment and fear.

Her game had failed and could not continue, yet she was powerless against the culprit.

She felt that if things continued any further, she would really be killed by Xia Chuan.

"Bang! Bang!"

After Xia Chuan unleashed two sword strikes, he quietly watched the two escape amidst the airport's alarms.

The power of emptiness is a feedback of will, and in a sense, it can be considered as the fulfillment of one's wishes.

If his goal was to seal it away instead of destroying it directly, would that have solved the explosion problem?

However, unlike the ancient Kuuga, it is not an easy thing for him to restrain his killing intent.

Feedback from the will is ultimately just feedback from the will; it's impossible for something to come directly from your thoughts.

"call!"

Looking up at the tower, Xia Chuan transformed into his ascended Pegasus form once more.

The alarm continued to blare. The two Gurongi seemed to realize Xia Chuan's concerns and deliberately moved closer to the refugees as they retreated. Another scream of terror rang out in the boarding hall.

"Clang!"

Before the Shark Gurongi and the Buffalo Gurongi could rush into the airport terminal, Xia Chuan aimed his Pegasus Crossbow, and the instant he released his finger, several air arrows shot out swiftly, hitting the two men in the back.

shhhhhh!

Both Gurongi froze simultaneously.

One sealing ability might still allow them to move, but with the combined sealing energy, even the two strongest members of the Ge Group would find it difficult to resist.

Xia Chuan did not continue his attack, but stared intently at the expanding sealing energy on the two of them. As he discovered that the sealing energy was gradually transforming into a true "seal", his eyes became even brighter.

He may not be able to seal them completely like the ancient Kuuga, but he can still restrict the Grongi's activities to some extent.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan felt slightly relieved and transformed into a sublimated azure dragon, heading straight for the two immobilized Gurongi of the Ge Group. Before he even got close, he sensed that the core of their belts was very unstable, and he couldn't help but pause slightly.

The "sealing" effect is indeed present, but "destruction" is ultimately the dominant factor.

It only delayed the explosion.

Sensing that the "seal" was rapidly disappearing, Xia Chuan picked up the shark-gurongi and the buffalo-gurongi with one hand and one head respectively. Then, his body sank down, and under the watchful eyes of the refugees, he explosively jumped up and disappeared into the airport with the two gurongi in an instant.

A moment later, two huge beams of fire shot into the sky simultaneously in the distance, followed by a rolling wave of explosions and the sound of airport glass shattering.

"Bang--!"

"Get down!"

Amidst the deafening roar, Hiroko Asami frantically pressed her partner aside to avoid the shards of glass. Only after the impact subsided did she recover, panting slightly as she looked out of the airport.

"Is it over?"

"Whoosh!"

"kuuga..."

The "general" looked grim and, without saying goodbye to Rose, turned and disappeared into the chaotic crowd at the airport.

"I'll beat him, just you wait!"

"Yeah?"

Rose Woman remained noncommittal.

Actually, if the "generals" had attacked together just now, there would have been a chance; at least the other two wouldn't have been defeated so easily.

"He'll probably die soon."

Rose murmured, her expression complex as she looked at the white-clad young man from Daguba, who was smiling and observing from the corner.

What are your thoughts, Kuuga?

"I'm really looking forward to it," Daguba said happily. "He seems to be ready too."

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan ascended to the Azure Dragon form, landed on his feet, and leaped back to the airport.

Not only was the "General" nowhere to be found, but the Rose Woman also vanished, turning into a pile of rose petals.

One escaped.

Xia Chuan's gaze paused slightly at the location where Daguba appeared.

The fact that they wiped out two of the strongest trio of the Gurongi from the Ge Group in one fell swoop yielded a tremendous response.

His body is now like it's on stimulants, he's really just a little bit away from level 3, probably around level 2.8 to 2.9.

Unfortunately, the man in the military uniform left too decisively, completely different from the other two, giving them no chance at all.

"That guy must be the strongest rhinoceros beetle from the Ge Group, the Gurongi, right?"

Even without Daguba, the rhinoceros beetle Gurongi could be considered the final boss in Kuuga.

Compared to the other two members of the trio, his strength is on a completely different level, making him somewhat unsuitable for the Ge Group.

It's okay to leave.

If the fight had started, he probably would have used an even stronger Black Gold form.

The damage caused then will be even more difficult to control.

Xia Chuan turned his gaze to the police officers running around in the airport terminal and the crowds of people seeking refuge.

The battle didn't last very long, but its impact was significant.

Whether it's a flight that was selected as a target or a plane that nearly crashed during landing.

Xia Chuan's gaze lingered for a moment on the shattered glass wall of the hall before turning to a little girl crouching in a corner by the entrance passage.

Seemingly separated from her family, the little girl stood motionless, watching the crowds passing by.

Xia Chuan took a few steps closer, and as soon as he reached out his hand, he saw the little girl shrink back in fear, as if she were facing some kind of demon.

"Yuka!"

A woman ran out of the crowd in a panic, glanced nervously at Natsukawa Seiryu's figure, and hurriedly picked up her daughter and fled for her life.

Xia Chuan turned around to face the refugees.

Although he had many admirers, most people still looked at him with fear and apprehension, quickly averting their gaze when he looked at them.

Unlike the fear of facing strange people, the sense of alienation is very strong.

Despite saving many lives, Kuuga never seemed to be regarded as a hero.

"Am I that scary?"

Xia Chuan scratched his fingers, thinking about the battle with the Gurongi just now, shook his head slightly and left the hall. Before Asami Hiroko and her team arrived, he reached out and grabbed Golem, hooking his foot and flying away from the scene.

Humans seem to have an innate fear of uncontrollable, powerful forces, whether friend or foe.

Even violence itself is repulsive.

He also dislikes violence.

But he was a soldier.

No matter how much you dislike it, you have to take action.

The pursuit of great power is for the purpose of better protecting oneself and humanity.
