Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 459 Dungeon Launch

"rustle!"

Dust and gravel fell, mud and water splashed everywhere, and Inoken fell like a broken rag doll. Manjō Ryūga and the other two vampires also fell into the mud on the street.

As Natsukawa flew out of the pit right behind him, Inohiro raised his hand as if to say something, but in the next moment, Natsukawa suddenly stomped on his armored head and crushed it.

"Bang bang bang!"

The energy center lost control, and after a brief surge of electrical energy, the Blood armor exploded into a fireball. Only a small section of the outer armor and three black energy bottles rolled down in front of the lying Ebert with the force of the impact.

"Whoosh!"

Ebert's fingers trembled as he grabbed three black energy bottles. Looking up, he saw Xia Chuan grabbing at the two vampire attackers who were trying to escape, smashing them one by one.

The entire trio was wiped out.

Despite being mentally prepared, Eberl still couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Boom!"

The massive waves of earth and rocks subsided, but the thunderclouds and torrential rain intensified once more, with flashes of lightning occasionally illuminating Natsukawa's dark figure amidst the downpour.

"call!"

His breath caught in his throat. Ebert's body tensed as he looked at the dark Kiva walking towards him in the rain. His shoulders trembled, and he hurriedly dragged his injured left leg to his feet, limping and turning away in a panic into the shadows of the rain.

It's not over yet!

He can continue to evolve!

"Cornered!"

Katsuragi Shinobu, who had been secretly observing, disregarded his concealment and rushed anxiously to Natsukawa in the pouring rain.

"What are you thinking? Why let him go?! Once the black panel is complete, Ebert will destroy the Earth without hesitation. There's no time left!"

Xia Chuan calmly glanced at the shocked and furious Katsuragi Shinobu, then walked back towards the deep pit where the mud and water had overflowed.

The demon-slaying ring failed to emerge.

Although only the compatible entity was killed, some of the injuries were still transferred to the Magic Gem World.

"Cornered..."

Katsuragi Shinobu's voice trembled, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. Only then did he realize that Natsukawa was also a terrifying unknown life form, and he didn't look like a proper knight at all.

Because of the extremely short timeframe, the contingency plans prepared in advance were destroyed before they could be put to use, leaving everything to rely on the conflicts between these alien life forms.

However, he did not expect that the vampires would be completely crushed.

With the seal broken, he is no longer of any use to us.

Is it...

"This planet will not be destroyed as long as I am here."

Xia Chuan waved his hand, then disappeared in a flash through the rain, leaving Katsuragi Shinobu standing there in astonishment.

"Whoosh!"

At the same time.

Northern Capital Faust Base.

Suddenly, a violent spatial fluctuation erupted in the unattended research institute. The three researchers froze and stiffened, their bodies strangely tensing as the current flowed through them.

"Sutita, what's wrong?"

"Bang!"

A researcher who came to inquire was blasted away by electricity as soon as he got close, crashing into the instrument's wiring. The three researchers who were behaving strangely twisted their necks and finally returned to normal.

"Coordinates confirmed, in the world of 'Tron'."

"Replication has been completed, and the timeline has been set..."

"Hey, you guys!"

Having been humiliated outside, Utsumi returned to the base only to find chaos inside. Just as he was about to make a fuss, his vision blurred, and his body was rendered immobile under the light of an unknown instrument from three researchers.

"What...?"

"Data collection".

A researcher stepped forward and roughly inserted a black card into the pseudo-evolution driver.

"Evolution Driver, Ebert, data collection complete."

"The dungeon boss is still here. Construct the dungeon passage immediately."

A red and black light spread out along with countless malicious incantations. Under the mental shock, Naruaki Utsumi and the other researchers all lost consciousness. In their last moments, they only vaguely heard the other party mention words like "decade".

Unlucky.

How come another alien life form has arrived?

……

Dongdu (Eastern Capital)

The coffee shop's basement.

Kiryu Sento, who had recovered, was a little downcast until he heard what had happened from Himuro Gentoku, at which point he straightened up again.

"Another Pathfinder? My father?"

"But I really didn't expect that the Dark Knight was actually the director's true identity. Even such a powerful vampire was no match for him."

Himuro Gentoku was filled with emotion. He had been very concerned about Saruwatari Kazumi's sudden erection, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that it was due to Natsukawa's possession.

They were once wealthy, so it would be too shameful for one of them to be at the bottom.

"Yeah, they said before that they couldn't beat us, we were completely fooled."

Sento shook his head in puzzlement, glanced at Banjou Ryuga huddled in the corner, and turned to the others to ask.

"Is Kai hasn't returned?"

"No, they probably won't be back anytime soon."

"Ugh! What bad luck! I got controlled by that guy!" Banjou grabbed his hair, jumped up in frustration, and said, "Sento, you were saved by Ebert, and I was saved by the director, so what's going on here?"

"Ebolt probably wants to use us to stop Ino. As for the director, we might need you later, right?" Sento replied without hesitation.

"You need me? What do you mean?"

"An idiot is indeed an idiot."

"Huh? Who's the idiot? At least add some muscles!"

"Why add muscle? Idiot, that's ridiculous."

After a brief bickering session, Sento bit his finger and fell into deep thought.

I feel a little more relaxed, but the issues still need to be addressed.

"The most important thing now is Ebert. With the last three energy bottles refined, he now has the potential to open the door to a new world."

"What exactly is the gate to the new world?" Wan Zhang asked, his head throbbing.

"According to Father's data, it should be an even stronger evolutionary form, gaining the ability to jump between spaces," Zhan Tu pulled up the computer data, "At that time, Ebert will be able to travel freely between planets in the universe and endlessly increase his power."

As he spoke, Zhan Tu frowned in confusion.

"What I'm more concerned about is the director. He should know this, so why didn't he eliminate Ebert?"

"What do we do now?" Himuro Gentoku asked seriously. "Is there any way to stop Ebert?"

"If the director doesn't help, this is the only option left."

Zhan Tu's gaze shifted to the encrypted content that Xia Chuan had helped open in the database.

"Once each Rider reaches Danger Level 7, the energy bottle they use will evolve. Two such energy bottles can ignore the rules and trigger the ultimate chemical reaction. Therefore, Father did not initially design a single-slot squeeze driver, but a Build Driver with two slots."

"My father didn't simply imitate the evolutionary driver; he did it all for today."

Zhan Tu's gaze gradually narrowed.

"Could this be the real reason the director kept Ebert on the team?"

……

"Hehehe!"

Pandora's Tower.

Ebert pressed his recovering left leg and stared intently at the black metal panel filled with bottles of Lost Energy.

"Kakuju, you're getting too cocky! Blood is just a pawn. Soon I'll absorb all the planets and create a universe that belongs only to me! This is the New World Project!"
