Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 442 The Creation of Riders Project

"Who are you……"

Kiryu Sento opened his eyes groggily, and it took him a while to recall Natsukawa.

"You're the director of the research institute? But... why are you here?"

"Ahem," Xia Chuan cleared his throat, "I think it's necessary to tell you about your father's information. All the clues to dealing with Eberth are in the encrypted part, and I can help you repair and unlock it."

"oh oh."

Kiryu Sento was a little uncomfortable with Natsukawa's presence. He scratched his hair, got out of bed, and ran to the lab table.

"The director seems very familiar with my father's information. Does he know my father?"

"More or less."

Xia Chuan walked to the computer, quickly decrypted all the encryption, and patted Zhan Tu on the shoulder as he left.

"Keep it up, Ebert's next target is you. As long as you absorb the power of a level 6 danger knight, you can complete the last link and become the complete form."

"Level 6..."

Kiryu Sento muttered something, only realizing then that the database on the computer had been completely exposed.

The bottle-and-jar device constructed using the metal panels of Pandora's Box can deal with Eberst, but using the Rider System will exceed the limits of human endurance.

Danger level 6.0.

"What does 'the last link' mean? Does Ebert think I can reach level 6?"

Kiryu Sento suddenly stood up, but when he turned around, he found that Natsukawa had already left the underground base.

"Director?"

ground.

The short-haired woman and Saruwatari Kazumi were not in the coffee shop. Only Ishidou Misora ​​sat at the counter, elegantly enjoying the canned coffee left by Natsukawa.

I've been possessed again.

As Xia Chuan moved around the seat and was about to leave the coffee shop, the Martian Queen finally couldn't help but speak up: "You really won't just watch this planet be destroyed, will you? Stay and help. With your power, we might be able to seal Ebert away."

"I'm sorry," Xia Chuan said without pausing, opening the shop door, "I did all this just for my own plans, don't misunderstand..."

"Stop lying to yourself," the Martian princess put down her coffee cup and slightly raised her eyelids. "If you really don't care, why risk exposure to save someone? Ebert is probably already starting to suspect you."

Xia Chuan did not respond and silently walked into the street.

In fact, everything that is happening now is part of the script that Shinobu Katsuragi designed for Ebert, including the use of Ryuga Banjo and Sento. Everything is in Shinobu Katsuragi's plan.

Even without him, Shinobu Katsuragi would have definitely helped Sento find the information and clues.

On the surface, it's about helping Ebert gain power, but in reality, it's about fully unleashing the power of Pandora's Box to open a new world, thereby resetting time and changing history.

Katsuragi Shinobu only cares about the result.

But he's different.

As someone who has truly reversed time, and as the world master of more than a dozen Knight dungeons, his understanding of time and space is far deeper than that of Shinobu Katsuragi.

The world can indeed be reset, but no matter how you manipulate it, what has happened will never disappear. Even if you return to the starting point, the pain and sorrow will still have truly existed.

On this point, his views were completely different from those of Katsuragi Shinobu.

Perhaps that's why he didn't let Ebert kill Saruwatari Kazumi, even though Saruwatari Kazumi's death could help Sento increase his danger level as soon as possible.

As for Ebert's suspicions...

Princess Martian knows too little about Ebert.

That guy doubted even his own kind, but he couldn't possibly doubt this "genius scientist."

……

Beidu.

After dealing with Chairman Nanba briefly, Ebert returned to the Faust base.

The more his power recovered, the more disrespectful he became to Namba Heavy Industries. If he didn't still need Namba Heavy Industries to control Xidu, he would have killed that greedy old man from Namba long ago.

The foolish humans who coveted Pandora's Box believed they had truly gained the power to rule the world, completely unaware that their lives could be taken away at any moment.

"It's rare to see you so disheveled." Katsuragi Shinobu's expression remained indifferent, his eyes seemingly only focused on research, and he merely glanced at Ebert's poor condition.

"Yes, we finally started to regain our power, but we were tricked."

Ebert wasn't too worried; instead, he laughed a few times in a self-deprecating manner.

"But everything was fine soon. According to your script, Mr. Katsuragi, the plan is still going very smoothly."

Katsuragi Shinobu, his back to Ebert, his eyes flashing slightly, asked, "What are your thoughts on being able to leave a backup plan within Banjou Ryuga?"

"What else could it be?" Ebert snorted uncomfortably. "I only have a few people who know about the Ten Thousand Zhang Dragon plan. I absolutely trust you, Teacher. So it must be my few good clansmen testing me. Only they have the ability to do this. Perhaps they are already suspicious of me."

"We'll settle the score with them later, Katsuragi-sensei. The follow-up plans absolutely cannot be exposed, otherwise those guys won't give me any time."

I know what I'm doing.

Katsuragi Shinobu pressed down on the Creation Project plan on the desktop, his fingers trembling slightly as he tried his best to remain calm.

Having studied Wan Zhanglong for so many years, he knows very well whether the vampires were behind it or not, since he had indirectly obtained some information about the other vampires as well.

Eberl's current condition is not the work of his own kind at all; it is more like he has been infected with the Collapse Virus.

But where did these Collapse-Source Viruses come from? The connections between different worlds have long since disappeared.

Did A-Qiao leave any samples?

It's unlikely that even Eberst has been infected this time, far exceeding the previously recorded data for the Collapse Virus.

"Oh?"

Ebert, oblivious to Katsuragi Shinobu's odd behavior, glanced flippantly at Natsukawa, who had appeared outside the research room, and waved a greeting.

With Ryuga's body, such movements looked somewhat comical, not as natural and fitting as Soichi Isurugi's. No wonder Ebert later liked to mimic Soichi Isurugi.

"Teacher Kakuju is back," Ebert said, his gaze slightly scrutinizing. "He seems quite interested in Sento and the others?"

"I'm just curious about what you're trying to do. You've already obtained Banjou Ryuga's body, yet you're still plotting against Kiryu Sento."

Xia Chuan glanced at Katsuragi Shinobu a few more times before entering the research room.

"Is it related to the current war situation?"

"As expected of Kakuju-sensei, he guessed it right away."

Ebert spread his arms wide with a broad smile, as if he had everything under control.

"Now it's time to explain to Kakui-sensei that the reason I instigated the war was entirely to use Kamen Rider to reclaim my power."

As he spoke, the dormant Evolution Trigger reappeared in Ebert's hand, as if it were a stone, showing no power whatsoever.

"Eliminating Katsuragi Takumi's memories and creating the hero personality 'Build' is not just for collecting energy bottles. As long as a war is triggered, Sento will have to continuously strengthen the Rider System, regardless of whether he wants to or not, and gradually become the ultimate Kamen Rider who surpasses the limits of humanity. As long as I absorb that power, I can become the complete form."

"This is the real Rider Build Project. Kamen Rider is just a tool for me to regain my complete form, hahaha!"

Xia Chuan ignored the sarcasm in the laughter: "So, what happens after you become the complete form? Continue to destroy the Earth?"

"Of course not," Ebert said innocently. "I can't bear to destroy the place where I've lived for 10 years. This place will become the new Vampire Star. Oh, by the way, the Vampire Star is my home planet, but it was destroyed a long time ago."

"Yeah?"

Xia Chuan responded with a smile.

I'd never believe you.

Do vampires have feelings?

They probably do exist, but they're not as complex as humans. They mostly experience basic emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and they don't value relationships as much as humans do.

Eberl may have been affected over the past 10 years, but not by much.

Human morality and values ​​simply don't apply to this guy.
