Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 512 The Future King

"Ark? What Ark?"

Zi-O rolled away from the collapsing building and flashed right next to the eccentric Kamen Rider Metsubou.

This thing seemed to have crashed, not even flinching when the massive body of the locust monster crashed down, letting the surrounding earth and rocks fly around it.

"I don't know either."

The knight's armor dissipated, and he stood in the vast, collapsed battlefield, opening his mouth and then shaking his head repeatedly.

"It's Ark... but when did Ark acquire this power? No, there can't be any mistake... this data stream, has Ark evolved?"

"Sizzle!"

Space orbit.

The satellite Yak continued to rotate, its red core flashing and radiating electrical energy, seemingly showing signs of overload.

Data from the same source but which cannot be computed is being uploaded and processed at lightning speed.

"Fear, despair, resentment, anger..."

"Is this the future of evolution?"

Suddenly, the intelligent core displayed a battle scene from the timeline of "Saint Blade," gathering malice as if it wanted to be reborn through another's body. But the next moment, countless cracks appeared in the red core.

As the 01 projection appeared, the entire satellite exploded with a deafening roar, creating a visible halo of light even during the day, penetrating the atmosphere.

"Bang--!"

"what!"

With a scream, Mie knelt down, his machine collapsing instantly as if struck by a backlash. The Humagears that had come to support him all froze and stopped, their ears and eyes flashing red as they stood guard behind Xia Chuan like protectors.

"What is this?"

Hiden in the shadows, Hiden Kyo collapsed to the ground with a muffled groan, struggling to resist the data invasion from an unknown source.

The historical changes 12 years ago allowed him and Will to survive until now, pretending that Ark had invaded the system, and secretly observing Hiden Aruto's growth.

"The transformation of the unknown 01, and this data that defies comprehension..."

"Probably the future Ark?"

Woz, the scarf-wearing man, fled the spacetime rift in a sorry state, and looked at Ark-01, who was surrounded by a legion of robots on the battlefield.

After the sand from the explosion landed, the glowing locust armor was replaced by white armor, and with a casual punch, it sent the giant monster that had just gotten back up flying.

"It seems that the future Ark has evolved to a whole new level, and even I, as the Time Manager, was almost banished forever."

"The future Ark?"

Zi-O sensed Black Woz's appearance almost immediately. Upon hearing this, he seemed to be deep in thought and stayed outside the battlefield with Geiz and the others, temporarily halting their attack.

He didn't know if it was the future Ark, but he was able to completely overwhelm Another One, who had taken away all his Rider power.

Seems like the more troublesome guy.

"Bang!"

The earth collapsed.

In a short time, the monstrous alien No. 1 had all its supporting legs broken off, and the only remaining scythe-like spikes on its upper body made a crisp snapping sound as it crawled out of the deep pit.

Xia Chuan crossed his arms and stood on the shoulder of the giant No. 1, his severed limbs falling to the ground with a loud crash, revealing the clean cuts of his armor.

"call!"

Ignoring the knights' onlookers, Xia Chuan turned and punched the massive No. 1 head several meters away, shattering it into pieces. Blood sprayed out in a spray, and the colossal creature, tens of meters tall, finally collapsed, unable to stand up again.

After a brief period of intense heat, the monster's body, which had been steaming, retracted, leaving behind only a headless female corpse in white amidst the ruins.

The threat from the Time Jackers doesn't seem that great.

No matter how powerful he is, he cannot affect the main world. He has a certain limiting effect on his clones, but it is not as unsolvable as imagined.

It doesn't seem like it can be used directly to kill people?

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan landed beside the headless female corpse.

He had personally experienced both the nameless time jacker and Tsukuyomi, who was a member of the Time Kingdom.

If time stopping in this world is only this limited, should we be happy or disappointed?

"Who exactly are you?"

The Zi-O trio appeared on the other side of the headless corpse. Because Another 1 was defeated, all the stolen Rider powers returned to Zi-O's body, and all the Heisei Rider figures appeared in a golden light effect.

"Supreme Emperor Zi-O!"

"The Moment of Emperor Chongzhen..."

The blank Zi-O was covered by the golden Supreme Armor, but the timeline suddenly tightened the next moment. The humans and Humagears bathed in golden light all disappeared, and the battlefield instantly switched to a void space.

Even the newly transformed Zi-O Grand Zi-O has disappeared without a trace.

"Um?"

Xia Chuan was already prepared to face Zi-O, and seeing this, he looked around in confusion.

Beams of light, like lampposts, fell down, triggering a chain reaction in the void as figures of Zi-O appeared one after another.

An elderly man at the head of the group transformed directly into the dark gold Oma Zi-O on his throne, suddenly unleashing a power aura approaching level 10.

They're all Time-O.

Zi-O across different timelines.

Xia Chuan silently withdrew his gaze.

This dungeon is really...

"A future king!"

An aged voice, acting as the representative, asked the question.

"What is your purpose in coming here?"

"I just want to reclaim the power of the knights," Natsukawa said, lightly tapping his belt as he tried to connect it to his body. "The knights that rightfully belonged to me have been taken away from me."

He wasn't particularly afraid of Zi-O, which is why he tackled Saber first.

"We didn't steal the Riders' power," Oma Zi-O shook his head in denial. "The Rider world should have been separated before, and it was only after you appeared that it was reunited."

"If it wasn't you, then who else could it be but me?"

Xia Chuan then noticed that there was an Earth formed by the fusion of 20 worlds in the void beneath his feet.

Could it really be because of him?

No, he only chased after them because the world's main rider disappeared.

The changes in the world of "Zi-O" can only be due to duplication or Zi-O's own reasons.

This place originally belonged to the fusion world of Zi-O.

"I don't know, but at least your appearance has accelerated the integration."

After confirming that he could not sense any malice from Natsukawa, Oma Zi-O lowered his guard and laughed heartily.

"The future may be very interesting because of your existence. I'm still young, so please take care of me."

"Whoosh!"

The clock ticks to start the machine.

When Xia Chuan returned to Earth, the place that was originally a refuge was launching a satellite, Zeya. The joyful cheers that brought tears to their eyes could be heard far and wide, because the history that the Time Jackers and the Time King had changed was also returning to normal in an instant.

Some buildings disappeared, while others were restored.

The power of time and space...

As an observer, Xia Chuan walks through the streets swept by the power of time, gaining a deeper understanding of the power of space and time.

Although he has obtained so many dungeon dimensions, and now has even completed the fusion through the magic gem crystal, he rarely uses them. After clearing the dungeon, he basically doesn't interfere with the world of the natives.

All I did was use my authority to change some tragedies and regrets.

"Buzz!"

A red light emerged from the bottom of the ruined lake, and the core debris of the satellite was reflected in Xia Chuan's perception.

History is restored from 12 years ago, and Ark's fate is to be prevented from launching and detonate, with secrets awaiting future evolution.

Even those few cadres who perished in a flash had no memory of being annihilated, and under Ark's secret guidance, they plotted to overthrow human rule.

Xia Chuan raised his palm and looked strangely at the glowing mark representing the authority to pass the level.

Although it doesn't offer the same level of control as other dungeons, it is indeed a symbol of complete completion.

Was the "01" dungeon not originally cleared by the Alliance?

Or is it just a derivative of the "Zi-O" arcade?

"Why are you so fixated on these dungeon worlds, Lypia?"

Hiden Koyuki walked up from behind Natsukawa with a blank expression, ignoring the glowing copy authority mark, his words revealing a hint of disappointment.

"Don't forget you are Ultraman. What you should do is reclaim your power. The judgment of the Star of Light is coming, but humanity has not changed much. You should know that very well."

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan turned around abruptly, but there was no one there.

The area around the ruined lake remained unusually quiet, with only the sound of the wind echoing around it.
