Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 561-Light

"call!"

A tranquil lakeside.

Komon's figure, along with the giant's body, faded back to the ground and followed Himeya Jun to the edge of the dam.

"I asked someone at the newspaper before, a woman named Sakuta, and she said that Mr. Himeya can't forget the past. Is it because of the girl who died on that battlefield that Mr. Himeya keeps fighting so desperately?"

Gu Men spoke first in the silence.

Because of sharing Natsukawa's power, he was able to clearly sense Himeya Jun's physical condition.

Unlike him, who transforms through summoning, Nexus probably directly converts the recipient into a giant's body, and the injuries are entirely borne by the recipient himself.

The accumulated trauma from prolonged overexertion has pushed Jun Himeya to his limit.

Nexus has a "sarcophagus" flying machine used for healing and recovery. It seems to be a container that carries light, but Jun Himeya's fighting style can't even heal the "sarcophagus".

"Sera died because of me, but..."

Jun Himeya's eyes were filled with pain as he looked down at the transformation device, Evolution Truster, in his hand.

"In my dream, Sera led me to the ruins and gave me this light. What is the meaning of this light? I only realized it when I saved you. To use this power to save humanity and fight until death... This is my punishment, my only way to atone for my sins."

"Is it really punishment?"

Gu Men thought about his own experiences.

Perhaps Jun Himeya did see a reflection of himself in him.

"Is that really what Sera meant? I've been able to persevere until now because of Mr. Himeya. He gave me courage and strength, and allowed me to feel the warmth of the light. How could such strength be a punishment?"

"The Lonely Gate..."

Himeya Jun looked back in surprise.

Compared to the near-swallowing by darkness a few days ago, the changes that have occurred in Komon are truly immense.

"Lipia told me that light represents hope and the future, and every ray of light has its own meaning. Nexus represents the bond that has been passed down through countless times and spaces. Mr. Himeya is just one of the chosen ones who bear this power."

Gu Men spread his fingers, revealing the king's ring in the morning light.

"Sera's guidance is not a punishment, but an expectation for you."

"Lypia? Is that the giant you transformed into?"

Himeya Jun was stunned, looking bewildered.

"You can communicate with light? How is that possible?"

"I don't know either."

Gu Men scratched the back of his head.

"Lypia said that he was actually human, and that it was human who became light."

"Humans, humankind..."

Himeya Jun shook his head and did not ask any further questions.

"Perhaps you have hope and a future, but our light is different. I must fight on to find redemption."

"Mr. Himeya..."

Gu Men hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.

This man has always been saving others, but he seems unable to save himself or resolve the knots in his heart from the past.

Fighting with the pain of the past is not a problem in itself, and he is the same now, but Jun Himeya's extreme approach is worrying.

Almost every battle was a suicide mission.

"Only by living can you fight. Is Mr. Himeya actually trying to run away?" Komon suddenly snapped, "Death is not atonement!"

Himeya Jun's body trembled, and he was about to say something when Komon's personal terminal suddenly beeped.

"Team Leader Komon," Commander Matsunaga contacted, "Lieutenant Saijo has deliberately concealed his whereabouts to evade the search. In five hours, he could be charged with desertion... Aren't you at base?"

"Well……"

I don't know how to explain this.

He seemed to have sneaked out, thinking he would be back soon.

"I came out for some fresh air..."

"never mind."

The manager, Matsunaga, seemed unwilling to pursue the matter and opened the terminal map, saying...

"Captain Hecang has already gone to find people, saying that it is also related to Kogoro Mokujin. You need to go there to provide support immediately."

"yes!"

Komon breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Himeya, and quickly ran away.

Even without orders, he would find a way to bring Saijo Kaze back.

And then there's Goroki Makoto; we'll settle things with that guy sooner or later.

"You seem to trust the lone team members a lot."

At the Freedom Fortress, a projection of a young man in white appeared, glancing sideways at the seated Administrator Matsunaga.

He has been feeling very uneasy lately.

The ability to foresee things seems to have malfunctioned, and things are gradually going off track, as if there's a layer of fog that's hard to see clearly.

"After all, I personally recruited the members of the 'lone gate' team."

The manager, Matsunaga, remained calm.

"And you probably noticed as well, the person with Komon just now was that man."

"You're still eyeing him?" The young man in white frowned slightly. "There might be uncontrollable consequences."

"We must know the source of that power."

……

Nishitama, Tokyo.

A closed factory area where the alien beast incident once occurred.

Xia Chuan guided the Komon to lock onto the aura of the Dark Mephistopheles.

He already had a direction on how to complete the Nexus red card. Although Komon has now withdrawn from the Nexus candidate list, his bond with Jun Himeya has not been broken.

Hongnai will definitely succeed.

The remaining group is Gou Lü Mu Zhen Ye.

Unlike the Knight dungeon, suitable Ultra cards are hard to obtain, and he doesn't want to miss any of them.

Not to mention that Goroki Shinya himself was an extremely special person.

As the original Nexus host, even though Mephisto possessed him first, it still couldn't overshadow the latter's potential brilliance.

In Nexus, this guy even managed to create light with his bare hands after Mephisto left, effectively transforming into a luminous version of Mephisto.

Once he gathers the power of the three suitable individuals—Komon, Jun Himeya, and Shinya Mizoroki—he should be able to become a true A-class life form, possessing the power to fight against the Unknown Hand.

While the Nexus dungeon is dangerous, it also offers plenty of opportunities.

"Don't go over there, wind!"

He rushed into the dimly lit factory with a shout, his gaze sweeping over the bewitched Saijo Kaze, and he aimed his gun at the figure in the black trench coat of Mizoro Masaya.

"Gou Lümu!"

"Yo, Captain," Mizoroki said, stepping past Saijo Kaze to face Kazukura directly, a slight smirk playing on his lips. "Long time no see. You're still as foolish as ever."

"You are not yourself anymore!"

He Cang's back was tense.

"I don't know what turned you into this, but Feng... I will never let her go into darkness with you!"

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out, and a bomb exploded in front of Gou Lümu's barrier, but only caused a ripple.

"It's useless," Goroki sneered. "You're just an ordinary human. You and everyone else in your team, only Kaze and I are like that. The rest are all trash..."

"Wind!" Sweat trickled down Wakura's face as he turned his gaze to the silent Saijo Kaze behind Mizoroki.

"Stop yelling! Soon the wind too will shed its human identity and become a greater life form!"

Gou Lü Muzhen also suddenly raised his hand, sending He Cang flying through the air, and looked mockingly at the warehouse door where footsteps suddenly came from.

The figure of "Gu Men" followed closely behind He Cang and entered the field of vision.

"Oh."

He kicked He Cang to the doorway again, and Goro Mujin's cold and stern face also showed a hint of amusement.

"Boy, you have the qualifications to become a servant. Kill Wakura, and maybe I can reunite you with Riko Saida."

"Riko Saida is dead."

Xia Chuan walked straight to He Cang, who had fainted in pain.

"Is manipulating people's hearts so captivating, Mizoroki Makoto?"

"Um?"

Gou Lümu narrowed his eyes.

"Aren't you from the Gumen sect?"
