Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 440 The Tower of Destruction

Dongdu Advanced Materials Research Institute.

Xia Chuan stood at the empty restaurant entrance, puzzled, and rubbed his forehead.

Why give the chef a day off?

Although the energy is indirectly provided by Ryuga Manjou and Ebolt, who are infected with the Collapse Body virus, not eating will not have a big impact, but the feeling of being hungry is not pleasant.

Isn't this clone of the Collapse Source Body too realistic?

"Click-clack!"

On the other side, the dividing point of the three capitals.

A red pillar of light once again illuminated the center of Pandora's Tower, reaching to the heavens. The aftershocks of the earthquake reverberated, and the tower extended upwards again, darkening the sky considerably.

"Is this the ritual that guy was talking about?"

Xia Chuan turned around and gazed at the ever-shaking Demon Tower.

The power to destroy planets is not to be underestimated even in the Ultraman universe.

He will exert his full power to indirectly damage the planet by destroying the core of Megahex, while the power of Pandora's Box is to directly create a black hole that can devour the planet in a short time.

I just don't know if this power can be brought to this world.

If possible, even if it doesn't reach its full potential, it would still be a divine artifact.

According to Shinobu Katsuragi's plan, they will later gain the ability to travel between planets.

"Whoosh!"

coffee shop.

When Natsukawa pushed open the door and entered, the store was in a mess, with tables and chairs overturned, and Ishidou Misora ​​lying limply and unconscious by the counter, looking like she had been robbed.

"Where are the others?"

"It's Ebert!"

The golden bracelet lit up, and Ishido Misora ​​suddenly rose from the dead, her aura as the Martian Queen dissipating, clearly weaker than before.

"Ebolt stole the last energy bottle and took all the knights with him. Once that magic tower is completed, Earth will face destruction. Now, only you can stop it..."

"Sorry, I have no obligation to save this planet."

Xia Chuan picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of warm water.

Now is not the time to use Pandora's box, at least not for Ebert.

"Evolution Trigger" requires 6.0 power.

But Ebert did exactly that anyway, dragging his feet and taking the knights with him.

There is only one answer.

Ebert's scheme continues; his next target is Kiryu Sento.

Not only Banjou Ryuga, but Kiryu Sento is also one of the tools.

As the absolute protagonist, Sento's danger level is slightly lower, but he can still create his own cheat codes, making his overall improvement much faster than Banjou Ryuga's.

Xia Chuan's understanding became clearer.

After joining forces with Eberl, they didn't find any clues about the seal, but they did uncover quite a few hidden clues from TRON.

As far as I remember, Eberl's third stage did indeed involve transforming through Sento's body.

In that case...

"Are you really going to let Ebert become his complete form?" Misora ​​Ishidou staggered to her feet, leaning on the counter, unable to comprehend what Natsukawa was saying. Her voice trembled slightly. "You should know very well what that means. In the future..."

"Ebert isn't the only vampire to come to Earth," Xia Chuan calmly put down his water glass. "You're oversimplifying things."

"Vampires?" Misora ​​Ishidou's eyelids twitched. "What vampires? The only ones who destroyed Mars were..."

"It was indeed Ebert who destroyed Mars, but what if the other vampires had been sealed inside Pandora's Box from the beginning?"

Xia Chuan wasn't particularly clear about the origins of the other three, and even Ebert's mental world had no related memories. He only knew that Ebert was quite wary of those three fellow clansmen.

It's likely that he was trapped inside Pandora's Box and then taken out of the vampire planet by Ebert or something similar.

He didn't really care.

But speaking of sealing... it should be the power of Pandora's Box, right?

If we really can't find any clues about the seal, perhaps we can wait until the Magic Tower is activated.

"Where are you going?" Natsukawa's ears twitched slightly as he suddenly noticed Ishidou Misora ​​staggering toward the door.

"We can't let Ebert go unchecked," Misora ​​Ishidou's expression returned to its usual indifference, her eyes now only showing a flickering hatred. "I have no other choice."

"Whoosh!"

Before Xia Chuan could respond, Shi Dong Misora ​​instantly transformed into a green light and teleported away from the coffee shop.

"We must stop him!"

"This guy..."

Xia Chuan's senses shifted towards Pandora's Tower.

Does this Martian princess not care whether the person she possesses lives or dies?

Overusing power not only depletes the soul, but also affects the possessed Misora ​​Isurugi.

This is also why Misora ​​Ishido always falls asleep after exerting her power.

"Whoosh!"

Pandora's Tower.

As the crimson beam of light continued to intensify, the area of ​​the tremor expanded further. Under the dark clouds and strong winds, a large number of ring-shaped walls gathered, and the tower body rapidly stacked up from its original three layers. The storm swept through and instantly enveloped the surrounding urban area.

The magic tower hasn't even started yet; the construction process alone is already tantamount to the end of the world.

The weather in the entire central urban area was in chaos. Thunderclouds churned and countless pieces of rubble and dust were pulled into the air, blotting out the sun and surrounding the greatly expanded tower, swallowing everything around it. From a distance, it looked like a demon king's castle thousands of meters high.

Xia Chuan flashed to the empty street, his eyelids twitching as he watched his research institute being instantly torn apart and destroyed by the tornado.

The research institute was already not far from the center of the Sky Wall incident, and now the foundation of the Demon Tower has been completely filled in.

"Boom!"

"Haha, Earth is doomed!"

Inside the Demon Tower, the battlefield was elevated to the top. The knights, whose transformations had been forcibly canceled, watched in horror at the devastating scene outside. Ebert's laughter sounded like a symphony of despair.

"This is the power of Pandora's Box..."

"stop!"

Kiryu Sento collapsed to his knees, his mind replaying the images of Mars' destruction that he had previously read, until Ebert pulled the Evolution Trigger from the Pandora's Box, jolting him awake and propelling him forward.

However, the whirlwind created by the invisible force surrounding Ebert made it impossible for him to get close.

"Bang!"

After the evolution trigger appeared, Pandora's box seemed to lose its power and fell, and the energy bottles embedded in its surface also lost their filling and became empty.

"snort."

Ebert chuckled and glanced at Kiryu Sento, who was shouting desperately, before turning his gaze to the dormant metal Evolution Trigger in his hand.

It failed to activate.

5.0 is still not enough.

"Then let's start by collecting some interest."

After scanning the room, Ebert's gaze fell on the exhausted, long-haired youth, Saruwatari Kazumi.

Kamen Rider Gris was the one who got in the way during the battle with Banjou. He was originally a knight from Hokuto, but three of his brothers died because of him. However, his danger level didn't increase much. Instead, he became partners with Sento and the others.

"You're the one."

"Sizzle!"

Retracting the evolution trigger, Eberst grabbed a ball of destructive fire with his backhand.

"If you want to hate someone, hate Sento. The fact that things have turned out this way is all because of Katsuragi Takumi back then."

"Ikkai!"

Kiryu Sento was flung away by the whirlwind and stared wide-eyed at Saruwatari Kazumi, who was exposed to the fireball attack.

Kazumi Saruwatari, the target, was also tense, panting heavily as he faced Ebert.

"call!"

Xia Chuan turned back to the coffee shop, paused, then moved his fingers, a red light flashing in his eyes.

The flames that Ebolt unleashed failed to kill Saruwatari Kazumi; instead, they crashed into Ebolt himself.

"What?"

"Bang--!"

Caught off guard, Ebert crashed hard into the stone wall of the magic tower, as if he had been frozen in place by a spell, unable to move no matter what.

My body is out of control.

"How could this happen? It should have been completely eliminated by now!"
