Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 513 Zi-O Gaiden

Someone mobilized the projection capabilities.

Xia Chuan stroked the magic gem ring with his fingers, and the image of the Mefilas aliens who were active during the Fate Team era floated into his mind.

The relevant memories gradually became clearer.

A fake smile, a fake friendliness, a mastermind behind the monster uprising, adept at manipulating human nature.

In the Ultraman universe, they are a king-level alien race, and in this world, they are still top-tier alien life forms.

Despite his considerable strength, he seems to dislike direct combat.

They were supposed to leave Earth when Zoffy arrived.

"Didn't you leave?"

After confirming with the help of the copy access permissions that it was just a projection message, Xia Chuan silently withdrew his gaze.

Does he not want to regain his Ultraman powers?

The problem is that he is not Ripia at all, but merely an outsider who borrowed Shinji Kaminari's body after Ripia disappeared.

The remaining light within the body was simply insufficient to complete the transformation.

The only option is to find another way to begin the path of evolution.

No matter the method, as long as it works, that's enough.

He didn't think the knight's power was that bad. Whether it's a knight or Ultraman, as long as they can evolve, they can eventually find a way out.

"I don't think you're Yak."

Hiden Aruto and his assistant Izu got out of the car and went to the lakeside of the ruins, where they found Natsukawa in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"You have no ill intentions towards humans, right?"

"You still have memories?" Xia Chuan turned around unexpectedly.

"Because both Izu and I were connected to the satellite Zeya, we retained all our memories, including yours and Tokiwa Sougo's."

Hiden or Hiden made a smug gesture.

"You must be with them, right? Could you please give my regards to that Demon Lord? In any case, I was able to go back in time and learn the truth about what happened 12 years ago thanks to them."

Xia Chuan remained noncommittal, waving his hand to leave the 01 timeline.

The new 01 world will probably be quite different, but it won't affect him much.

01 and Ark are both things of the past for him.

……

Hikari no Mori High School.

With the tournament drawing ever closer, Gates throws himself into training, Tsukuyomi continues her academic journey, and Tokiwa Sougo constantly talks about his dream of becoming king, appearing very optimistic, until Natsukawa visits his home.

Nine to five hours a day.

Tokiwa Sougo stayed at his uncle's house.

It looks like a watch shop, but it's deserted and doesn't have much business.

Please enjoy your meal.

Tokiwa Junichiro looked restrained, wearing reading glasses. After setting out the tea and pastries, he seemed a little unsure what to do with his hands.

"If you have any questions about my son Sougo, you can talk to me about it. I also hope you can be understanding about his volunteering, since he's still a young man."

"I didn't come here for volunteering."

Natsukawa glanced at Tokiwa Sougo, who was awkwardly going upstairs.

01's memories seem to have completely disappeared, and the other two are the same, seemingly because the timeline has been reset again.

However, one thing is certain: the power of the trio is still there, and the best evidence is the proliferation of various versions of Zi-O.

"Not volunteering... then what is it?" Tokiwa Junichiro asked, bewildered.

"It doesn't matter if he aspires to be king, but he must prepare for the exams," Xia Chuan said, pulling out a stack of test practice books. "Please make sure he completes these regularly."

This can be considered as fulfilling a promise made to Oma Zi-O to take care of Tokiwa Sougo when he was young.

"hiss!"

Upstairs, Tokiwa Sougo, who had been listening intently, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. When he realized what was happening and ran downstairs, he found that Natsukawa had already left, and the only thing left in the shop was a thick stack of practice problems.

"Where is Kaminaga-sensei?"

"He said he'll be visiting other students' homes too," Tokiwa Junichiro said, sounding quite pleased. "He seems to really like my pastries; I'll bring some to school next time."

"I……"

Tokiwa Shogo has unspeakable suffering.

Why does Wang still need to prepare for university exams?

I wish there was a school that could guarantee Wang's admission.

……

Nascita Coffee Shop.

Despite some setbacks, Kiryu Sento finally regained his memory and accepted the task of making belt accessories for Natsukawa.

A golden belt.

While recalling the spaceship exhibition he had visited before his battle with Ark, Natsukawa handed the shuttle belt to Kiryu Sento.

The authenticity of the alliance's data is impossible to verify.

However, he does need to upgrade his belt.

Having enhancement accessories can make this process much smoother.

"It's practically a replica of the Decade Driver," Kiryu Sento exclaimed, tilting his head back. "However, there are some functions I don't understand. It'll probably take quite a while to fully adapt it. If only I could get my hands on some Decade equipment..."

"We'll see how things go with Decade. I'm not in a rush, so take it easy."

As he spoke, Natsukawa handed over all the belt data he had collected so far to Kiryu Sento.

He wouldn't trust Sengoku Ryoma from "Gaim" this much, but Kiryu Sento is a different story.

While Kiryu Sento may not be as capable as Sengoku Ryoma in terms of development, he is top-tier among all Knight scientists in terms of enhancement and improvement.

"Thank you for your help."

Natsukawa patted Kiryu Sento on the shoulder and calmly walked out of the underground base.

After obtaining access to "01," a fragment of the "Zi-O" game, his restrictions in this world were further lifted.

This seems to be the reason why Kiryu Sento and this coffee shop were reopened.

Unfortunately, the other main riders remained silent, and not even a shadow of them could be found.

It seems that his walkthrough is related to becoming the new king of the new era after becoming Zi-O, just like the title of Oma Zi-O.

Controlling the future means controlling the world.

The question is how to become the future king.

Decade belt?

"Who are you?"

In a corner of the coffee shop, Kagami Shin stared at Natsukawa as he crawled out of the refrigerator, nearly knocking over his coffee cup.

Kamen Rider Steel, the secondary rider of Kabuto, has lost his former recklessness and naivety; he is now burly and somewhat overweight.

"Excuse me, haven't we met somewhere before?"

"Buzz!"

As Xia Chuan left without a word, Kagami Shin, who had been ignored, looked embarrassed. His fingers froze in mid-air, and as he muttered something, he suddenly felt a vibration coming from the Steel Fighting Insect in the void.

It seems that Natsukawa also possesses the power of Steel Fighter.

more than……

There's also Kabuto.

It felt the same as the feeling he had before Tendou Souji disappeared.

"What a strange guy."

Kagami Shin shook his head, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the young man in the red leather jacket opposite him, whose gaze was also drawn to Natsukawa.

"Excuse me for asking, are you a police officer? I've seen you transform before. I'm also a Kamen Rider."

"Yes, yes."

The young man in red took a sip of his iced coffee, pretending not to see Kagami Shin's embarrassment.

Kamen Rider Police Rider, secondary rider of "W" Ryu Terui.

"Was there something wrong with that person just now? You seemed really concerned about him."

"Because I look a lot like a friend." Kagami Arata's expression darkened slightly.

Since the world changed, it seems that he is now the only one left of the knights who once fought against the Zerg.

"call!"

Outside the coffee shop.

A man in white leaned against the edge of a high-rise rooftop, his hands in his coat pockets. After watching Xia Chuan walk away, he thoughtfully stroked his chin.

"That belt... what's this guy's relationship with Shi?"

With a soft chuckle, the man in white turned his gaze back to the two knights in the coffee shop.

Decade's secondary rider, Diend, the final rider, and Haidong Daiki.

During his time-traveling journey in search of Decade, the power of the final rider was taken away.

His most important task now is to regain the power of the final rider.
