Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 551 The Post-Era, The Light Dungeon

"Gurgle!"

The distorted and fluctuating light, accompanied by numerous bubbles in the water, obscured the view.

Xia Chuan felt his body sinking deeper and deeper, getting further and further away from the light on the water's surface. The darkness seemed like a giant hand pulling him into the abyss.

Images of light and shadow emerge and project from the bubbles.

In this world, Earth has returned to the correct timeline, and the traces of the Grey-Robed People have been completely erased. The remaining aliens failed to form an alliance, and only the Mefilas aliens remain, lurking in the shadows.

Hiroko Asami and Tamura's group remained with the Fukuto Squad, their duties now shifting to monitoring dormant monsters across various regions.

Tokyo, the main stage, remains as prosperous as ever, showing no trace of its devastating destruction.

Fujiwara Saiji had a fight with his father and ran away from home, wanting to join the Fukuto Squad.

Sakurai Keikazu, dressed in a suit, went to various job interviews but was rejected. However, when he returned to his sister's company, he regained his fighting spirit and persevered despite repeated failures.

Uncle-faced Goto is playing ball with his son in the park.

Mizusawa Yu got into university.

Emu Hojo is torn between studying medicine and pursuing a career in gaming.

Kondo Isami became a bartender, carefully observing the boss's every move...

Traces of the Knight's Instance remain, but it seems no one remembers his existence, including Shinji Kaminaga, who has returned to normal.

Is it worth being forgotten?

A faint voice seemed to ring in Xia Chuan's ears.

"Why should they be able to live normal lives? You deserve everything!"

"call!"

Xia Chuan struggled to stay conscious when suddenly the surrounding scenery transformed into a desolate, uninhabited deep space, where only tiny stars could be seen in the distance.

The darkness engulfed him as if he were drowning. In his vision, a pair of black and red giants coldly looked down at him, their blurry outlines almost the size of the Earth.

Zhaji?

A name flashed through Xia Chuan's mind subconsciously. As he struggled to escape the darkness, a burst of intense light suddenly erupted from the distant stars. A giant of light, seemingly as large as a galaxy, lowered its hand and grabbed the black and red giant, taking Xia Chuan with it.

Has this led to the battle against Titans?

What kind of battle is this exaggerated...?

"Gurgle!"

A clear splash rang in Xia Chuan's ears, followed by a gasp before he could think any further.

"The lone team member jumped into the river!"

"Help! Save them!"

……

Night Raid Team Base.

When Xia Chuan woke up, all he could see was the gray ceiling and the sparsely furnished, dark room with almost nothing but a bed, a table and chairs.

Grabbing the nameplate on his chest that read "Komon Kazuki," a few memories surfaced.

At the same time, familiar panel information also appeared deep in Xia Chuan's mind.

Race: None

Lifespan: Immortality

Life level: A (pseudo)

Rank: 6

Light Power: 0

Rank: God of Knights (Immortal and Undying)

Domain Abilities: Superb Psychic Power (Sealing, Supernatural Ignition, Energy Absorption, Dimensional Barrier, Datafication, Flight, Precognition, Time Stop, Creation and Destruction)

Current instance: Ultraman Nexus

……

Just as he expected, he entered the "Ultraman Nexus" instance.

The Ultra Universe, where the legendary giants Noah and Zagi reside.

What just happened?

Xia Chuan lightly touched his forehead, which was icy cold.

My condition was terrible; I felt completely drained and powerless.

However, there were many other things that concerned him besides his condition.

The post-era world seems to have returned to normal, but the Divine Mirror seems to have entered a new phase.

Those gray-robed men claimed to be the core system of the Divine Mirror, but it was actually just a panel system. Its absence only caused "players" to lose panel information.

It doesn't affect the Divine Mirror much; on the contrary, the Divine Mirror determines his survival.

This challenge almost destroyed everything he had.

The good news is that he survived.

The bad news is that he was forced to possess the body of Kazuki Komon, the protagonist of Nexus, and is now part of the dungeon. Apart from still having a character panel, he can no longer exit and return to reality like before.

Once the Mirror takes control of the Ultra Universe, it certainly won't end well for him.

"hiss!"

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from my right hand.

The King's Ring glowed and coalesced, but at some point, a touch of black appeared in the middle.

One can vaguely sense the giant's body existing in a high dimension, which is also stained with black and red.

It wasn't a misperception; it seemed he really was being targeted by Zaki, and not just any Zaki.

The Zaki he remembered wasn't that exaggerated.

Xia Chuan's smile was bitter.

He seemed to understand the purpose of those gray-robed men.

No wonder they used Earth and numerous knight dungeons as sacrifices; it turns out it was to unlock the Dark Realm dungeon in the Ultra Universe.

So, has he offended the darkness and been cursed?

It just so happens to be in this dangerous dungeon world.

The primary concern now is not the Mirror of Light, but how to establish ourselves in the Ultra Universe.

At the very least, one must possess the power to fight against darkness.

Xia Chuan's attention returned to the information on the panel, and he was immediately drawn to the lifespan.

Immortality...

That's pretty impressive.

But the divine mirror could restrict him, and immortality alone was far from enough.

There are many things more painful than death.

The life level likely retains the influence of the fusion with Lipia; to become a true A-level life form, another method must be devised.

Rank 6...

It turns out there's more than just level 5.

Xia Chuan was slightly surprised.

He thought that level 5 was the limit.

This is the level of a human host, but it seems that no other human host is as exaggerated as him.

The power of light determines transformation and ability usage, and it took a while to go from 0 to 1.

Domain capabilities...

All skills have been fused into a super telekinetic power, and it seems that it can only be fully utilized within the domain. There is not much difference between outside and in this world. However, we will have to wait until the body recovers to test the extent of the weakening.

Besides that, there isn't much information available at the moment.

Xia Chuan gently rubbed the ring between his fingers, then sat up in pain and looked outside the room.

Telepathic perception is limited; only by combining it with memories in the brain can one barely determine their own situation.

The Nexus instance features a cosmic life form called Alien Beasts, which originated from the explosion of the initial individual and can evolve into monsters by absorbing fear.

In order to deal with the alien beasts in various places, human governments secretly formed a military organization. In addition to the Night Raid Team responsible for eliminating alien beasts, intelligence and scientific research departments, there is even a Memory Police who are specifically responsible for erasing the memories of witnesses.

He is currently at the third base of the Japanese branch, a secret base called "Freedom Fortress" located deep in a reservoir.

The story has progressed to the middle stage. Kazuki Komon has just experienced the truth about his girlfriend's death and is being manipulated by the Dark Giant. While carrying out a mission, he suddenly says that there is a calling voice in the water, and then things have turned out like this.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan took a sip of water to moisten his throat, paused, frowned, and raised his right hand.

The King's Ring resonated with the body of the high-dimensional giant, but it also made him realize a troublesome problem.

Will Kazuki Komon, who is possessed by him, inherit the power of light and become Noah in the ending of Nexus?

His appearance seemed to break the bond.

"Who are you?"

A hesitant voice suddenly startled Xia Chuan awake.

"What's wrong with me? Why is my body...?"

"Komon?" Natsukawa suddenly realized, his consciousness entering the spiritual world. The giant figure with flashing red lights materialized and appeared in front of the bewildered and helpless Komon Ikki. "I need to borrow your body temporarily as a thank you. If necessary, you can transform into me to fight the alien beasts."

"Are you... Ultraman?"

Kazuki Komon stared wide-eyed at the giant of light, which was several meters tall, standing in front of him.

He's not quite the same as Ultraman Nexus, but he doesn't seem to feel much different from him; intuitively, he's not an enemy.

The warm light and the coldness brought by the alien beasts formed a clear contrast.
