Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 456 Unlocking the Seal

"Stop fighting! Remove the markings and stop fighting!"

Deep within the light source, the consciousness of the Demon-Slaying Warrior gradually awakens, and it vaguely hears someone calling its name.

"The world you envision, my world—whether the weak will be oppressed depends on your understanding."

"Magic Gem World..."

"Whoosh—!"

The scene before my eyes is solid.

Yuya Kakui's familiar white-haired figure came into clear view, the light illuminating the entire sky wall passage.

"Are you alright?"

Xia Chuan withdrew his hand, completely breaking free from the power that bound the Demon-Slaying Ring.

The good news is that the Demon Kaidou stumbled upon the place by accident and only triggered the defensive measures.

The bad news is that the sealing process is proving more complicated than expected.

Five years have passed, and the compatible individuals have sunk to the bottom of the magic tower, essentially exiled to another world. Not only has the difficulty of solving the puzzle increased dramatically, but continuing could also lead to their disappearance in the spacetime turbulence at any time.

"This is all I can do to help you," Katsuragi Shinobu reappeared in the passage, his expression fluctuating as he faced the glimpse of power Natsukawa displayed. "Any more would arouse Ebert's suspicion."

"That's enough."

Xia Chuan glanced back into the depths of the passage, memorizing how Katsuragi Shinobu had opened it.

In the original series, Katsuragi Shinobu died at Eberl's hands because of a miscalculation, but based on the information gathered so far, Katsuragi Shinobu's strategic planning ability is terrifyingly strong. The script runs through the entire series, and he left several backup plans for his son alone. Even after his death in the original series, he still managed to trick Eberl several times.

He also had to be wary of this kind of person.

There was nothing he could do; the other party simply didn't believe he was a good person and might even prepare some kind of scheme for him.

"Oh, right," Katsuragi Shinobu suddenly added, "we'd better find a way to stall the vampires, if they find out we're here..."

"Don't worry, those guys can't care about me now."

Xia Chuan walked out of the Heavenly Wall Passage with the Exorcism Ring.

He had waited until now precisely for the conflict between the vampire trio and Ebert to erupt.

Even if Ebert had some doubts, he could only be held back by his own kind. In fact, for Ebert, the danger posed by his own kind might be far greater than that posed by him, an outsider.

"Yuya, please let me stay."

He stopped walking as his knuckles cracked.

This experience was hard for him to accept; he felt that he had not only failed to help but had become a burden.

If he were to leave in such a disgraceful manner, what right would he have to claim that he wanted to transform the Magic Gem World?

"I will defend this place no matter what. I may not be a match for the vampires, but I will hold them off until the very last moment!"

"Abstain from fighting."

Xia Chuan did not go to see the Exorcist's Creed.

He experienced many instances, and the one he brought out was the only native he brought out.

To be honest, he didn't really like this kind of aloof character. He just didn't want to do it at the time, and he also wanted to try to subdue the protagonist of the dungeon, so he gave him a chance.

"Go."

Xia Chuan vanished in a flash before the Demon King's eyes.

Although he was not suited for undercover investigation, he was able to find clues to the seal. Although it ultimately did not serve its purpose, at least it showed him that he had made an effort.

Staying isn't out of the question, even though he doesn't think he can be of any help.

……

Dongdu (Eastern Capital)

Suddenly, a sound of shattering glass rang out in the rain, and War Rabbit's figure crashed through the building and tumbled to the ground.

"lofty!"

After catching his breath, Sento withstood Croz's attacks one after another, and angrily looked back at Ino Kengo, who was watching the battle calmly.

"What have you done? Get everyone back to normal! Wake up, Manjō!"

"He's just a puppet now," Yi Nengxian said with a smile, crossing his arms. "And you might be mistaken about something. I'm not controlling them; I'm just amplifying their inner thoughts. Whether it's the people attacking you or Wan Zhanglong, they all hate you from the bottom of their hearts."

"What?"

Sento slipped in the rain, and after being hit hard on the back again, he looked wearily at the passersby walking around in the rain.

Even Misora ​​Ishidou and Sawa were mixed in with the crowd, and there was intense malice everywhere.

"Annihilate them!"

"Annihilate them!"

"How could this happen? Please, wake up!" Sento shouted hoarsely as he got up, a wave of despair and sorrow washing over him.

Overnight, it felt as if the whole world had abandoned them, and even their partners who had fought alongside them did not respond at all.

How does it feel to be betrayed by the entire nation and your own friends?

Yi Nengxian chuckled as she walked past Zhan Tu.

"Kroos, deliver the final blow."

"stop……"

Sento looked at Croz, who was stepping forward to launch his ultimate attack, his voice trembling. His emotions were at their peak, but he had no strength left to resist. It wasn't just because of the physical exhaustion from the city-wide pursuit, but also because he seemed to have completely lost his strength.

"lofty!"

"Bang--!"

A bright light exploded in the heavy rain, the Build Rider armor collapsed, leaving Kiryu Sento dragging along, sliding out of a puddle.

Even so, Wan Zhanglong did not react at all, but coldly approached and pulled the dangerous trigger shrouded in red light.

"You shouldn't have existed in the first place, Kiryu Sento. You're just a fake hero we created. Your memories, your life, are all part of our plan."

As Yi Nengxian took the dangerous trigger from Wan Zhang's hands, she could hardly contain her joy.

"Finally, I've got it. Thanks to you, the dangerous trigger has finally been activated. Now, it's my turn to end your tragic fate!"

"Transform!"

Equipped with the Build Driver and Croz parts that originally belonged to Banjou, Kenjiro Ino turned around and inserted a Lost Energy Bottle. Just then, two other vampires came over with Pandora's Boxes, and together with Ryuga Banjou, they suddenly turned into materials and merged into Kenjiro Ino's body.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Kamen Rider Blood.

It has a fusion armor body that is somewhat similar to Croz's, but with stronger vampire features and a dark cloak that extends from the shoulder armor behind it.

"Bang--!"

The moment the armor took shape, Inohiro immediately unleashed a crimson flame of destruction, but the expected explosion did not occur; the attack was completely blocked by a white figure.

"Ebolt..."

Yi Nengxian stared silently at the newcomer through the swirling rain. It seemed as if two invisible forces were clashing in the air, neither gaining the upper hand.

"What are you doing here now? We no longer need you to destroy the Earth."

"So your target was the dangerous trigger. You were completely fooled. I thought you were just trying to put some pressure on me."

Eberl stared at him with icy eyes.

Although the Danger Trigger is merely a copy of the Evolution Trigger, it possesses a Knight Emotion System that the Evolution Trigger lacks.

After being mentally revitalized by the shocks Kiryu Sento experienced, Hazard Trigger also gained the ability to destroy the world.

This thing is a different matter in the hands of humans and vampires.

"But don't be too happy yet," Eber said, deliberately grabbing the battle rabbit amidst the rain, giving a strange smile, and then disappearing in a flash with a black hole aura. "Destroying Earth now is just a dead end."

"Crack!"

A long bolt of lightning struck the ground with a loud thud, sending sparks flying around Yi Nengxian.

"Dead end? That's just an excuse for the weak, Ebert. You've really changed in the last 10 years on Earth."

With a cold, sarcastic remark, Annie Yi pulled the dangerous trigger and turned to walk towards Pandora's box in the rain.

Destruction is imminent.

Saruwatari Kazumi and Himuro Gentoku chased after the crowd to the scene, but instead of finding Sento, they saw Ino Kenjiro just put the dangerous trigger into Pandora's box.

"stop!"

"It's too late. You will simply serve as witnesses to the ceremony!"

Illenged Yi Nengxian completely disregarded Ebert's warning, activated his ability, and Pandora's Box, triggered by the danger, shot out a bright line straight into the sky.

Unlike the ascent of the magic tower, this time the red light seemed to be spreading towards the Earth's core. As soil and rocks flew and sandstorms raged, the surface of the earth cracked on a large scale, and the rotating sky walls formed a spherical shape and sank rapidly.

"Ebolt's power is to devour the Earth from the sky; ours is to attack its core and destroy it!"

"What?"

Saruwatari Kazumi barely escaped the sinkhole, staring in horror at the collapsing city. He never expected to encounter something like this so soon after arriving.

One moment they were thinking about how to defeat Ebert, but it turns out that the enemy that will destroy the Earth is not Ebert at all.

It was like a huge joke.

"Boom!"

The giant excavating machine, composed of a ring-shaped sky wall, was still sinking at high speed, and Pandora's Tower, which belonged to the same category, immediately responded.

Quwen Jiedou turned around in astonishment and found that the front of the sky wall where the original entrance was sealed had disappeared, leaving only a void glowing barrier revealing the astonishing changes in the distance.

Although the methods of destruction are different, the damage to the Earth's core is no less significant than that caused by a black hole. The subsidence phase alone triggered earthquakes throughout the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the thunderstorms became even more severe.

However, before Yi Nengxian could be happy for long, the spinning sphere suddenly vibrated violently and soon came to a standstill.

"What happened?"

After failing to elicit a response from his abilities, Yi Nengxian looked down into the depths of the earth in a deep voice.

The soil that was constantly being eroded suddenly turned into an unknown space, as if some luminous object was being pulled up from the deepest part of it, giving him a rather familiar feeling.

"Could it be...?"

As he pondered, Yi Nengxian's body suddenly trembled, and he stared straight at the nebula gas test chamber exposed in the red light.

It's a seal from 5 years ago.

The power of Pandora's Box has broken the seal!

"How is this possible? How could the seal be here?!"
