Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 471 The Holy Blade

"Um?"

At the entrance to the sealed-off area, Xia Chuan suddenly stopped, the wind whistling past his ears.

The connection with the clone was suddenly and briefly severed.

What's the deal with that book?

"What's wrong?" Hiroko Asami and the others turned around in confusion.

"fine."

Xia Chuan's mind raced, projecting a dreamlike and fantastical world.

Dungeon world...

To avoid arousing suspicion, Xia Chuan had no choice but to focus on keeping up with the group.

Is this time it's Saber?

"call--!"

In the world of Saber, there exists a book of creation of unknown origin—the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence. Long before the advent of human civilization, it recorded all the knowledge and information of the world from beginning to end, like a script, and also represents all power.

Timeline 2000 years ago.

Five beings from the origin searched for the source of knowledge to solve the suffering of human civilization. After a long and arduous journey, they finally found the omniscient and omnipotent book, transformed into the Daughter of the Beginning, and thus became the first humans to enter the fantasy world.

However, the story did not continue in a pleasant way.

Three of the mentally twisted individuals tore out pages from the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence, absorbed its power, and became the Book Demon "Megido," ultimately instigating a chaotic battle surrounding the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence.

As war spread across the world, human suffering was not relieved but rather exacerbated.

In order to end the war, the woman who started it all chose to sacrifice herself and dismantle the omniscient and omnipotent book.

The other two originators divided the remaining portion in two, agreeing that one would protect the fantasy world, while the other would create the swordsman organization "Sword of Truth" to protect the real world.

According to the script, the world will end in the modern era after 2000 and enter a new beginning.

This is also the origin of the glorious chapter of the Saber TV series.

However, this time the timeline has quietly shifted.

Timeline 1000 years ago.

A war was raging in the human city-states on the ground over the Holy Sword when suddenly a huge storm vortex appeared in the sky amidst lightning and thunder.

As legendary weapons in "Saber", each Saber contains unparalleled power and can be matched with various fantasy books formed after the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence is decomposed. It is the source of power for swordsmen and Kamen Riders.

On this day, a thousand years after the Origin Event, a forbidden holy sword capable of destroying the world mysteriously appeared and eventually fell into the hands of a swordsman who wanted to destroy the world after losing his wife and children.

"Boom!"

"What is that?"

In the heart of the city, the swordsmen engaged in battle all looked up at the sky, their fighting spirit gone, replaced by fear.

In the main battle zone, a swordsman wielding two initial holy swords was sweating profusely. Even with the power of the holy swords, he still felt immense pressure, a pressure that even surpassed that of everyone else.

However, not everyone was panicked. The swordsman Bacht, who was wielding the forbidden holy sword "Nameless Sword Void" on the battlefield, was not overwhelmed by fear. Instead, he laughed loudly with even more excitement.

"The world should have returned to nothingness! Haha!"

The swordsman, wielding his sword and bathed in flames, grinned and turned his head, his face full of hatred and schadenfreude.

"Yuri! Betrayal and mutual slaughter are human nature. As long as there are humans in the world, the conflict will never end! True peace can only destroy the world and return everything to nothingness!"

"Bang--!"

A muffled thunderclap resounded above the city-state, and a massive black hole suddenly appeared. Buildings collapsed and disintegrated, and people and animals on the streets were uncontrollably lifted into the air and pulled towards the black hole.

Unlike the other swordsmen who struggled frantically, Bachter watched everything with a cold smile, choosing not to resist but instead drawing his sword to meet the black hole head-on: "Is the Book of Annihilation finally about to appear?"

Only the Nameless Sword and the Book of Annihilation can destroy the world; he has been waiting for this moment for a long time!

"Bachter!"

Swordsman Yuri steadied himself with his two holy swords, trying to stop his former friend from turning evil, but the next moment he suddenly found that the sky was changing drastically again.

"What?"

Contrary to Bacht's expectations, there was no Book of Destruction. The black hole above the ground suddenly shattered before it was even far from the ground, and in its place appeared two knights fighting at high speed under an endless energy storm.

"Someone's there?!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Natsukawa quickly adjusted his body in the storm, simultaneously blocking the attack of Shin Ark, who was almost invisible.

Ark's most troublesome aspect is his conceptual abilities; even when possessed and transformed into Ark-I, he shouldn't be this powerful.

He is now the fully-powered Ebolt, no weaker than Ebolt from Build, and on par with the new Ark-I.

What exactly were the shapeshifters transformed into?

Or has Ark gone even further?

"call!"

During the battle, Natsukawa also noticed the swordsmen on the ground, his gaze quickly sweeping across the several holy swords.

There are multiple ways to enter a dungeon. Normally, it's through the dungeon portal that's created after the dungeon is formed. However, due to their advanced technology, alliances can proactively create portals, or even pre-plan them through adaptors before the dungeon is created.

His side mainly involved illegal border crossings.

If it is a world that has already been copied, a local identity will usually be automatically generated. Depending on the situation, it may be a completely new identity or it may be a possession that has descended.

If it hasn't been replicated yet, it will be much more complicated.

A direct arrival would lead to rejection from the world; one would either be driven away or pay various prices. In Rider Build, he lost his own Rider system.

The best alternative is to use alliance technology to adapt to the arrival, which is relatively safe, but still has many limitations and is relatively slow.

The world that is now suspected to be Saber does not seem to be completely copied; he and Neo Ark are both stowaways.

However, perhaps because it was drawn in by the unknown books, it was not immediately rejected.

"you……"

Bacht's eyes were filled with doubt and uncertainty. Just as he was about to shout, his body suddenly sank, as if an impact force capable of destroying everything rushed towards him, slamming him into the ground.

"Whoa!"

His body ached as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, but Bakht had no other thoughts. He looked up in horror at the distant mountain peak that had vanished in an instant.

There was no explosion, no loud noise; the mountain seemed to have been devoured by the unknown, silently disappearing.

Despite having neither a holy sword nor any legendary book, he was able to unleash such earth-shattering combat power.

"What kind of power is this? Is it a god?"

Bakht and Yuri looked up at the sky with a chill running down their spines, as if they had returned to the days when they fought side by side.

He did want to destroy the world, but he didn't expect to die so inexplicably in the aftermath of someone else's battle before he could destroy it.

Whether the Book of Destruction can truly destroy the world is now unknown.

As a swordsman, he clearly sensed the feedback from the legendary forbidden sword in his hand; even the nameless sword, Void, emitted a mournful cry.

"Run!!"

In the year 1000 of the timeline, the Holy Sword of Light and Darkness and the Nameless Sword appeared out of nowhere, and the War of the Gods began.

"Sizzle!"

Xia Chuan broke through the malevolent energy shroud and forcibly pulled the battlefield into the sky.

As an outsider, he has begun to feel the pressure, and even the will of the world is clashing with him invisibly.

The world seems to be even more wary of him than of Neo Ark-I?

The battle cannot be delayed any longer.

Xia Chuan calmed himself down, pressed his fingers on the belt driver, and the power of Eberl's complete form was further stimulated as the mirror floated.

With the power boost of level 8.9, a giant vortex tornado that shook the entire sky was unleashed, and at the same time, superpowers were activated, with a black flame-wrapped emblem enveloping the battlefield.

Sealing Barrier!

He didn't want to lose the Knight System halfway through the fight.

It's true that the clone can be taken back, but this world is essentially given to the Alliance for nothing.

If this is truly the world of "Kamisama no Saber," it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of the Alliance.

This world is not only strong in terms of direct combat power, but also extremely dangerous in terms of abilities. It possesses all sorts of miraculous powers, as well as numerous world-destroying artifacts and an omniscient and omnipotent book.

Once captured by the alliance, even if he cannot bring the core items back to this world, he will suffer greatly in the future.

After all, the Cavaliers world is now his and the League's main battlefield.

"A guaranteed kill!"

Not only Xia Chuan, but also the opposing Neo Arkichi gathered all his malicious energy in preparation for ending the battle.

"Malice! Terror! Anger! Hatred! Despair! Struggle! Murder! Annihilation! Extinction! Destruction!"

Ten consecutive keystrokes sounded, and a massive amount of malicious energy converged and compressed, directly breaking apart the storm that was swirling in the clouds high in the sky.

"Perfect Conclusion Learning The End!"

"Bang--!"

The devastating flying kick collided with the black hole attack, plunging the entire sky into eternal night. It took a while for the darkness to gradually fade to light. The air became distorted by intense heat, and the vegetation in the mountainous areas instantly turned into charred powder and scattered. Large mountain ranges transformed into basin-like landscapes. Only the city-states were spared because the battlefield shifted.

"Is it over?"

After the high-altitude shockwave disappeared, not a single cloud could be seen.

The swordsmen, who had been hiding in various corners, nervously left the city-state, gazing blankly at the empty sky and the unrecognizable mountains outside the city.

The legendary Book of Destruction is revealed from the scattered ashes.

Covered in blood, Bakht staggered, leaning on the holy sword, and picked it up. Tears streaming down his face, he laughed maniacally, looking up at the sky: "Hahaha, Yuri, even the gods are watching over me!"

……

"Clang!"

This world, A2 lockdown zone.

As Xia Chuan regained consciousness, he suddenly heard a sword ringing in his ears. In a daze, he realized that Asami Hiroko in front of him had just received a call from the Alliance.

"Mission canceled? No more investigation? Case closed?"

After hanging up the phone, Hiroko Asami resembled a mother cat with its fur standing on end, looking like she wanted to bite someone.

"Damn it, they actually said the killer has been confirmed as Decade and told us to go back to carry out other missions. This is utter nonsense!"

"senior……"

Kazumi Takahashi was somewhat startled and instinctively covered her buttocks to stay away from Hiroko Asami.

"What do we do now?"

"It can't end like this!"

Hiroko Asami raised her fist, but a hint of helplessness flashed across her face as she bit her lower lip and turned to Natsukawa.

"Kaminaga..."

"I don't think the killer is Decade either," Natsukawa coughed lightly. "Leave the rest to me; I can find someone to help with the investigation."

"Who should I look for?"

"Overlord Bull".

"My wife? This... is that alright?" Hiroko Asami stared wide-eyed.

If she remembered correctly, Kaminaga and Watsuki Michinaga seemed to have always been at odds.

The first person to undergo the W transformation experiment with Kaminaga was Michinaga Agatsuma, and I heard that his reaction to the failure was stronger than anyone else's.

"It should be fine."

Xia Chuan turned his gaze to the interior of the sealed-off area.

Anyway, Master Isamu has already found the alien's head, so having too many lice doesn't make you itch, and having too much debt doesn't make you worry.

With an immortal body, there should probably be no problem?

He will finish things up after everything is over.

The "Sacred Blade" dungeon has appeared, and not only him, but the Alliance must also be eager to conquer it.

"I'll go back to school first."

After saying goodbye to Asami Hiroko and Natsukawa, a slight sense of urgency settled in their hearts.

In this race against time, he had to find a way to restart the "Sacred Blade" instance as soon as possible.

In the end, he still broke away from Saber after his battle with Neo Ark, but the Alliance didn't know what was going on.

……

Knight School.

After becoming the vice principal, Xia Chuan's life didn't change much; in fact, his presence became even less noticeable, and almost no one paid attention to his whereabouts.

After returning to his study, Xia Chuan stepped into the Magic Gem World, opening his palm to hold up a special card that floated in the air.

The card has nothing on it except for books, but Natsukawa can sense that it is related to the world of Saber.

Because the book cover seemed to be that unknown book that had sucked him and Shin-Akki into it.

"Creation and destruction..."

Xia Chuan tried his best to recall the information from "Saint Blade" in his mind.

As the Kamen Rider world expands, conceptual and rule-based abilities become mainstream. With his current strength, he is not actually suitable to directly conquer "Zi-O".

Fighting Zi-O is equivalent to a battle between worlds.

Theoretically speaking, one must master the Reiwa Rider world after Heisei's "Zi-O" to have a basic guarantee, such as the already released "Zero-01", "Saber", and "Gyoku no Kou".

The reason why "Extreme Fox" is still unknown. "01" has been taken over by the Alliance, and it seems that only "Saber" is left for him. Other Reiwa Rider worlds will not be easy to find in the short term.

"As for cards, the shuttle should work, right?"

The belt reappeared on Xia Chuan's abdomen.

In the early days, he traveled to the dungeon worlds via the shuttle. Although the shuttle has now become the All Rider Driver, its original functions remain and have been greatly enhanced, even granting him dimensional barrier abilities.

This special card is very likely the work of the shuttle.

There's no reason why you can't go to a world you've been to once.

"Whoosh!"

As the card was swiped across his belt, a surge of energy gathered before Xia Chuan's eyes, and the image of the book he had just turned over reappeared as if time had reversed.

However, after the light shone forth, it did not open the gate to the world, as if some unknown force was blocking the way.

It is the power of time...

Xia Chuan pondered as he looked at the closed mirror image of the book after the light faded.

The game "Saint Blade" has been converted into a dungeon, but it seems to have a protection mechanism, and I sense that I will have to wait at least a day before I can travel between them.

"Kaminaga!"

Fang Bat II hurriedly flew into the Magic Gem World.

"News has arrived! The Alliance is gathering knights; a new dungeon will open in three days!"

"3 days?"

Xia Chuan's eyes brightened slightly.

This time, the instance appeared directly, so the Alliance didn't have time to plan ahead.

Three days should be the actual start time for the league.

He seems to have a slight advantage.

……

"Whoosh!"

Lockdown zone.

Master Izayoi carefully concealed himself, nervously dodging the small spaceships flying overhead. Before he could catch his breath, he heard the message about the dungeon over the loudspeaker of a nearby general store.

"A dungeon? I wonder if there will still be a chance to participate."

Shaking his head, Daoist Izama habitually opened his phone and suddenly noticed Xia Chuan's missed call, followed by a text message.

"Let me investigate... Why should I? Do you really think I'm immortal?" My wife, the Taoist priest, sneered and curled her lip. "I'm not investigating."
