Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 538: The evil devil?

"Oh no!"

In the apartment room, Michiko Agasa suddenly woke up and got up. He was shocked to see the empty bed left by Natsukawa. He didn't even bother to call out to Sakurai Keikawa. He grabbed his coat and rushed out of the entrance hallway.

Damn it, how could he fall into such a ridiculous trap?

"If God were eternal..."

"Whoosh!"

The residential area remained deserted under the cover of night, as if ghosts were lurking in the shadows.

Master Izayoi quickly searched but only found a pile of burning remains of demonic followers at the community intersection. Across the raging flames, the figure of Magnum Amur Fox gradually receded into the distance.

Both the previous Golden Fox and White Fox were based on the ultimate form of the Fox Thruster MK9.

Magnum form is much better than the initial blank login form, but it is still within the category of basic forms. The true power of the Extreme Fox begins when it acquires the MK2 thrusters.

The chill intensified, and Daoist Agasa stared intently at the darkness beyond the flames' reflection, suddenly feeling an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity.

Although no battle was witnessed, judging from the aura emanating from the remains, the creature before him must have been a high-level demon disciple, perhaps even a boss-level one, in life.

Even his mutilated body made him feel intensely threatened.

It's hard to imagine how Magnum Arkfox would handle this kind of role; at least a level 5 Arkfox would have no chance at all.

Everyone underestimated Shen Yong.

"Has the Extreme Fox System reached level 6?"

Master Izayoi grabbed his hand and fastened his belt, the Zombie Bull Armor covering his body in blue-purple light.

Level 6 Overlord Bull.

In this dungeon with a level 9 Divine Fox, even a level 6 knight seems somewhat outdated, but level doesn't mean everything.

The power of the Knight of Desire lies in his desires and beliefs.

"You're not the only one becoming stronger, Kaminari. My desire is stronger than anyone else's!"

Daoist Agasa leaped over the flaming wreckage, chasing after Natsukawa as he rushed out of the community.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan paused slightly, but ignored Daoist Agasa.

He doesn't have the habit of needing someone to protect him, nor does he need anyone to protect him.

Originally, he intended to operate in secret as the Golden Fox, but now that he has inherited the key identity of Ukiyo Hidetoshi, he has a chance to make a comeback.

Combining the current Extreme Fox and the future Golden Fox, even without revealing his Decade identity, he is enough to destroy the Alliance's plans.

Although it deviates somewhat from the plan, stepping into the spotlight ahead of time is not a bad thing. Since the start of the challenge, the main body has been unable to stay out of it.

At least the world of the Cavaliers is still his home turf.

The real problem right now is how to get control from the alliance.

Based on previous information, it seems that a knight under control will participate in the final battle.

The Alliance's main objective in this prologue is probably to cultivate the strongest rider capable of confronting "Decade".

Who exactly could it be?

Images of knights flashed through Xia Chuan's mind.

Goto is out of the running, but it seems like everyone else is a possibility, even Fujiwara no Saiji, who has already come to his senses.

Even Daoist Wagatsuma and others are not entirely trustworthy.

The alliance's capabilities are unpredictable, and they won't let the chosen one fall in the opening instance so easily.

Now it seems that the only person he can truly trust is himself.

"Whoosh!"

With her telekinetic powers activated, Xia Chuan sensed the aura of the Queen's demonic followers. Her husband was right beside her, but his presence was so faint it was almost gone.

Whoever the chosen one is, ending the prologue as soon as possible is definitely the right thing to do.

After identifying his target, Xia Chuan slipped into an abandoned factory located in a suburban forest.

I don't know where all these abandoned buildings came from. They look cold and eerie under the night sky, and have been deserted for many years.

In their senses, the couple were deep inside a storage room, and faint cries could be heard carried on the cold wind.

"clatter!"

As Xia Chuan passed through the dilapidated gate, he sensed something was wrong as soon as he caught a glimpse of the woman's back in the moonlight.

Not only her husband, but the Queen's demonic aura was also very unstable, lasting only a short while before weakening, like a flower about to wither and fade.

It seems he stepped into the trap in place of Daoist Agasa.

"Who are you……"

The woman looked at Xia Chuan approaching in surprise, never expecting that Ji Hu would appear here. Her weak body suddenly regained its strength, and she grabbed Xia Chuan's trouser leg.

"I'm sorry, I lied to you... Go now, leave this city, and never come back. All the knights are sacrifices..."

"Offerings?"

Xia Chuan watched quietly as the woman's face disintegrated rapidly, dissolving into data. Before he could even make a move, the entire abandoned factory seemed to collapse as black ash-like data cubes scattered everywhere.

Countless dark purple data tentacles pierced into the factory from all directions, while at the same time, the figure of a child formed by intertwined tentacles gradually emerged outside the door.

"Uncle, why did you do this? Mom just wanted to live a normal human life, what's wrong with that?"

The child had no facial features, only a humanoid shadow, like a twisted evil god fused and magnified with black and purple tentacles.

God and evil devil.

"Tsk tsk."

The World Tree in Time and Space.

The god-killer clown shook his head and sighed, glancing mockingly at Beloba, who was watching with his arms crossed.

"You guys are really bold, actually releasing this thing. Aren't you afraid the future metaverse will also be destroyed?"

"You don't need to worry about it!"

Belloba bit her lower lip lightly, her beautiful eyebrows twitching repeatedly.

"Why this guy? We should have started with the smaller, less obvious methods..."

"Isn't this good?" the clown chuckled. "Since we're all going to die anyway, starting with Extreme Fox isn't bad, and ending with Golden Fox's death is quite interesting."

"boring."

Bellobah rolled his eyes, too lazy to look at the projection anymore, and turned around to look around, only to find that the bespectacled boy was not there.

"Where's that little guy?"

"He's gone out," the clown man sneered. "He said he had a way to subdue the Divine Demon Disciple. Heh, he's just a fool after all. He probably won't be coming back. The Divine Demon Disciple can only be subdued by me..."

"Bang--!"

A loud explosion interrupted the clown man.

In the projection, beams of light pierced through the abandoned factory shrouded in black and purple tentacles, connecting and then suddenly breaking through the dark domain, replacing the entire area with a field formed by the power of creation.

The fan-shaped fox tail thrusters erupted, and the MK9 White Fox reappeared in the center.

This time, however, the one who transformed was changed from Hidetoshi Ukiyo to Natsukawa.

"Why?" the clown shouted, jumping up. "My god, you demon!"

Belloba's expression changed.

The black and purple tentacles in the projection faded away, leaving only the little boy standing helplessly in the center of the open space.

"What happened? Where are the demonic followers?"

Looking at the factory that had returned to calm, Belloba took another look at Xia Chuan.

It's not just the ordinary MK9 Extreme Fox, but the MK9 God Extreme Fox.

"That knight..."

"What the hell?" The clown's face was full of displeasure. "Are you kidding me? I thought it was going to be a good show, and this is how it ends? What on earth did that guy do?"

"Whoosh!"

As the last black ashes fell, the little boy choked back tears and looked directly at Xia Chuan: "Can you really bring them back to life?"

"For the gods, death is not the end, but resurrection will only come after everything is over."

Although he is a follower of gods and demons, he is still a child in the current timeline.

Xia Chuan deactivated his transformation and ruffled the little boy's hair.

Gods and demons meant nothing to him; what truly mattered was the "sacrifice."

Why would the Queen, the demonic disciple, say that all knights are sacrifices...?

It's impossible that the chosen one is also a sacrifice, right?

"Shinaga?" Abbess Izuma caught up and was taken aback by the scene. "What's going on here...?"

"You've come at the right time," Xia Chuan nudged the child. "This child is the son of the bakery owner and his wife. You can take care of him from now on."

"Me? Taking care of the children?"

My wife, the Taoist priest, almost didn't react. She looked at the child with red and swollen eyes and frowned in annoyance.

What a joke, he didn't come here to take care of little brats.

"Kaminari, I know you've been hiding your strength, but aren't you underestimating this dungeon? A level 6 knight is nothing; it's too dangerous for you to go alone!"
