Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 485 X Swordsman

"Boom!"

A muffled thunderclap boomed in the clear sky, and the giant Book of Control behind Yuri flipped its pages. As the sword of light crossed and drew X-ray blades, the colors of a colorful comic book permeated the black shadow swordsmen rising beneath Yuri's feet.

"Transform!"

"X Swordsman! Chapter One, All Colors Appear!"

A starfish-like golden mask, and a magnificent figure like the son of the sun.

The legendary tales of ancient swordsmen from a thousand years ago are merged with the modern superhero comic "X Swordsman" to create a brand new power to control books.

The strongest moment.

"It feels like a long time ago!"

"Ha ha!"

The white-faced Megido on the ground chuckled and tilted its head, its mouth splitting open again, like a flower bud swallowing upwards. The space in the middle distorted, and Yuri, who had just completed his transformation, was pulled off the rooftop.

"Shorten the space?!"

Yuri landed hastily and steadied himself. Although he managed to avoid the giant maw of the white Megiddo in time, he was still slammed into his shoulder by the giant axe held horizontally by the Megiddo.

"Bang!"

"Ouch, that hurts! But it feels so good! I haven't felt physical pain in ages!"

Despite the excruciating pain, Yuri remained calm and reflexively swung his sword back to meet the ensuing attack.

"The glory descends!"

"I'm the strongest hero, you're doomed!"

"The brightest!"

As the colored armor transformed into a shield on his left arm to block the giant axe, the sword of light swiftly launched a cross slash, and the X-blade of light expanded in mid-air, easily forcing back the white Megiddo.

However, Yuri was not too happy; instead, he stood there stunned.

"What's going on? Why weren't humans separated?!"

Seeing the white Migido still grinning strangely as usual, Yuri's aura instantly collapsed. His mind was confused and he couldn't understand it. He only hurriedly rolled away to avoid it when the giant axe was about to hit him.

"That's impossible. Even counterfeiters can do it, there's no reason I can't..."

"Because this Megido is special, hehe."

The quiet young man, Stryus, stroked his chin and walked off the field, admiring his masterpiece with satisfaction.

"It contains two humans who are exactly the same in terms of both genetics and personality. They are completely fused together, and their desire to devour each other has doubled. They are no longer able to be separated."

"It's you again!"

Even before Yuri intervened in reality, he had already observed the three Megiddo leaders, led by Stryus, on several occasions.

For some reason, these guys are countless times more active than they were a thousand years ago.

"What are you confused about? Hehehe."

Stryus's laughter was low and sounded perpetually listless.

"You should be well aware of the year when the world's knot is untied, a year that happens only once every thousand years."

"Things are different now than they were in the past."

Yuri gripped his sword tightly, ready to defend.

In the past, he could just kill directly and be the strongest hero without having to consider anything else.

However, in this era, troubles and pain are obstacles that heroes must overcome.

But the crisis the hero faces is far greater than ever before.

"call!"

"The World's Knot..."

Xia Chuan flew out of the TV station's dressing room through the broken window, ignoring Yuri below who was acting like a chuunibyou due to his transformation using a comic book. His sword leaped, dodging Stryus's subconscious slash, and then transformed into a streak of light, piercing through the white Megiddo.

There's no need to waste time; he has many plans to move forward.

"it's useless!"

Yuri screamed in alarm, thinking that Xia Chuan would kill the human and Megiddo just like that, but the next moment he was shocked to see the twins slickly spit out of Megiddo's mouth.

"I……"

How could that be?

Amidst their confused thoughts, Sudo Mei and the others finally ran downstairs. Yuri temporarily abandoned other ideas and, while the white sword unleashed a dazzling light to kill Megido, quickly blocked the aftershocks.

"Be careful!"

"Bang--!"

Stryus frowned as he glanced at the white sword that was absorbing the remaining power of Megiddo within the explosion's halo, then silently flicked his hand and disappeared.

It was able to break free from the swordsman's control, and how could the Holy Sword absorb the power of Megiddo?

Stryus felt increasingly mysterious.

This year of untying the knot is indeed strange. The fantasy world is unusually active, and there's even this troublesome 12th Holy Sword.

Taking this sword seems unrealistic; in fact, it might even become the biggest obstacle in the future.

"Whoosh!"

As the smoke dissipated, Sudo Mei hurriedly retrieved the white sword that was suspended in mid-air, only then noticing Yuri muttering something after de-transforming.

"So... you've regained your swordsmanship?" Sudo Mei asked curiously. "It doesn't seem any different, except that I'm imitating heroes from manga."

"snort."

Yuri crossed his arms and turned his back, only walking over to erase the twin sisters' memories after they woke up.

He did play a role.

Perhaps it was because of his stepping stone that the white sword was able to separate successfully on the first try.

Moreover, the white sword replicated his past power, so the reborn him will only be stronger.

He remains the strongest swordsman.

"Um?"

After dealing with the twin sisters, Yuri suddenly turned his gaze to Shirai Yuki, who was sneaking away.

There was one who slipped through the net.

"Mei!"

Shirai Yuki turned around stiffly and pulled Sudo Mei in front of her before Yuri could get close.

"Don't do anything reckless! Not everyone wants their memories erased!"

"That's right, that's right!" Mei Sudo nodded repeatedly, pointing the tip of her sword directly at Yuri. "Painful memories are also very important!"

Yuri stopped after taking only one step, glanced at the white sword that was constantly radiating a dangerous aura, his eyes twitched, and he sheathed the sword of light, turned and walked away: "It seems that there are still many things to learn in this era."

……

A villa in the suburbs.

Stryus met with the other two leaders, and a modified control book imbued with the power of monsters materialized, surrounded by black and purple energy, with the eerie laughter of the white Megiddo faintly audible.

"Strius!"

The other two leaders looked grim, their gazes toward the refined young man growing increasingly hostile.

"You dared to use the Megiddo we control without our permission!"

"Are you planning to create another cataclysmic event like this?"

"Calm down," Stryus smiled and picked up the modified piloting manual. "Thanks to you guys, I was able to create such a special guy."

The modified Tome of Power is a forged tome they created to replace the Fantasy Tome of Power and fill the gap in the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence. It is not only about quantity, but also about having sufficient power.

The goal cannot be achieved by relying solely on ordinary magic books.

"What's the use?" Raziel said dismissively. "It was taken care of in no time."

"Hmph," another leader, Zios, scoffed, "Don't let it get out of control like a natural disaster again."

"I have my own arrangements for dealing with natural disasters, and besides..."

Stryus smiled and clenched his fingers, the scene of the white sword devouring power flashing through his mind. The words he was about to say suddenly changed, and his expression became quite solemn.

"To ensure the plan goes perfectly, I will infiltrate the Sword of Truth base and obtain the ancient forbidden book that is sealed away within."

"A forbidden book?" Raziel asked, puzzled. "Is it the Book of Destruction you mentioned before?"

"no."

Stryus shook his head with a smile.

"Our goal is not to destroy the world, so the Book of Destruction is useless. What I want is another ancient book that is equally dangerous. Once it is transformed into a demon book, it will be enough to satisfy all our needs."

"Using the power of that book to deal with the 12th Holy Sword is just right; it's also time to gather all the Holy Swords."
