Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 584 Dark Cards

"Whoosh!"

Early morning at the amusement park in the south of the city.

As Xia Chuan regained consciousness, a wave of mental weakness overwhelmed him.

The cost of breaking away from the isolated operation was ridiculously high.

However, he couldn't just leave Qian Shulian unattended, lest he fall into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Fortunately, it wasn't all for naught; at least they figured out Zaki's current strength.

He can handle things if the plan goes smoothly.

The plan didn't go as planned...

Xia Chuan frowned as he examined the "Mephisto" card.

They should now be called Dark Cards.

He's gotten stronger again. I can vaguely sense the card's desire for Zagi, which is likely due to a mutation in the dark curse on him.

"Sizzle!"

Under the connection of consciousness, a huge, distorted figure reappeared in Xia Chuan's mind.

That's truly a powerful force.

It feels like stepping into the S field would be an easy thing.

Comparatively speaking, the power of light increases much more slowly; S-rank is still just a guess, and it's unknown how long it will take.

Xia Chuan recalled memories of this world and the hardships he had endured along the way.

To ordinary people, he might seem like a god with cheat codes, quickly clearing the closed knight dungeon, leaving other players breathless, and even personally ending the knight era.

But only he himself knows how difficult the path of "Ultraman Evolution" has been.

Originally destined to become an advanced giant, he was forcibly transformed into an advanced human form, requiring him to gather almost all the power of the knights to successfully undergo Ultra Evolution.

Now two paths lie before him: one easy and simple, the other still fraught with thorns and an uncertain future.

However, there doesn't seem to be anything worth considering.

Even if he is no longer human, he is more inclined to possess a sense of self; otherwise, why would he fight against the Divine Mirror? Wouldn't it be stronger to simply become a part of the Divine Mirror?

It might already be a system panel that runs through all dungeon universes, indirectly controlling the fate of all players.

perhaps……

"Buzz!"

Xia Chuan pulled himself out of his thoughts and forcefully suppressed the backlash from the dark card in his hand.

For him, who wanted to be human, darkness and light could coexist, but what made him human was his ability to control his own thoughts.

He needs more light.

Natsukawa turned his gaze to Komon, who was talking to Senju Rei.

The humanoid alien beast incident has not subsided, and Mitsuhiko Ishibori has become significantly more aggressive than before in order to obtain enough evolutionary energy.

It's only a matter of time before fighting breaks out in the city.

At that time, the truth of the world will be fully exposed, and darkness will reach its peak.

Before that, I need to get the blue Nexus card quickly.

"Still can't find those guys' real lair?" Chishu Rei watched MP Nonomiya Mizuki leave with reluctance. Hearing the endless reports of missing persons in the news, her expression turned serious and somewhat anxious.

"That was just a cover-up."

The lone gate also felt suffocated.

The humanoid alien beasts are weak; even ordinary soldiers can handle them.

The key issue is that there are too many of them, and they appear and disappear unpredictably, with unknown forces secretly orchestrating their plans.

If this continues, the barriers set up by the visitors may really fail, and I don’t even want to imagine what will happen then.

I wish he could be stronger.

He felt that he had not yet fully unleashed Lipia's abilities, especially those god-like superpowers from his memories.

"cough."

Xia Chuan sensed Komon's thoughts at the same time, and his face stiffened slightly.

That kid is overthinking it; he can't even utilize those abilities.

These are all outdated ideas, and many are limited to their own knightly dungeons.

Perhaps a way to replicate it will be possible once the energy level is increased.

just now……

It's better to keep this part of your memory hidden from others.

If you have too much faith in him, he won't be able to handle things when you actually encounter trouble.

Komon was indeed destined to be Noah's human form, but unlike Noah, he was not able to trigger miracles.

He started from scratch and didn't have the same potential as Noah.

The only things they can boast about are their divine domain and their immortality.

However, immortality does not mean invincibility; the various seals existing in the Ultra Universe alone are enough to make things difficult.

No matter how strong one's abilities are, they still need the support of power.

"call!"

A short-haired girl wearing a beige scarf walked through the illusory image of Natsukawa, unaware that she was hiding behind the table and chairs to observe Komon and Chishu Rei.

Matsunaga Hazuki, the only daughter of administrator Matsunaga Kaname.

Xia Chuan recalled the TLT data file in his mind and then observed the short-haired girl who was keeping an eye on him, wondering why the daughter of the administrator had come to join in the fun.

Logically speaking, Matsunaga had no reason to send his own daughter on the task.

TLT would not allow such a thing, not even the daughter of a management officer has any special privileges.

Furthermore, Mizuki Nonomiya has already been dispatched...

Natsukawa noticed Mizuki Nonomiya returning with snacks and juice in his peripheral vision.

Although this monitor is not very qualified.

"It's rare to have everyone here," said the boy working at the amusement park, Zhenzhi, gesturing to everyone. "I'll treat you to dinner after work. Lian doesn't usually have many friends, so this is a good opportunity for her to get to know them."

"Maybe next time."

Ikumon declined apologetically.

He has no interest in having a meal together right now.

The mere thought of the terrible consequences of the potential barrier disappearing completely kills my appetite.

In addition, there is also Lian's body.

Although the boy didn't show it much, he knew very well, having shared the Lipia's abilities, that when no one was around, Rei's health was deteriorating rapidly.

This left him, who had previously made promises, unsure how to comfort her.

If he initially came into contact with Senju Rei because he was the new host of Nexus, he has now grown to like this special boy who keeps his liveliness to others.

Like a younger brother.

"Lipia," Komon cried out in his heart, "Is the miracle drug still not finished?"

"The unknown hand has also started targeting effective drugs."

Xia Chuan decided to temporarily leave the short-haired girl.

"It's best to complete the Nexus legacy as soon as possible, otherwise they might make another move later."

Zaki was somewhat intimidated by him, but only temporarily.

"The unknown force has made its move?" Komon exclaimed in surprise. "When?"

"Things are still chaotic at the base; even Mizuhara Sara has gone missing."

Natsukawa tried to search, but failed to find Mizuhara Sara.

The other party can only hope for the best.

We still don't know Zaki's specific purpose, but he's already caused him some trouble.

TLT's top management seems to suspect that he was the one who made the move, and that Mizuhara Sara has discovered some secret.

Someone secretly planned to use this opportunity to plot something.

That's the darkness in the human heart; even a little bit released has a huge impact.

They started fighting amongst themselves before even dealing with the real enemy or knowing the truth about their "immortality".

Interestingly, some people seem to want to join forces with this "alien life form".

"call!"

Xia Chuan temporarily shut out the constant noise from all directions, maintaining only a few key senses.

Even the gods can't stand hearing so many distracting thoughts all the time.

Fortunately, he had good control over his abilities during his time with the Cavaliers, so the impact wasn't too significant.

"You're Kazuki Komon, right?" The short-haired girl suddenly approached, staring intently at Komon's bewildered face. "Can we talk alone?"

"Huh?"

Mizuki Nonomiya had already noticed the short-haired girl, and was about to stop her when he realized that the girl was not looking for Chiju Rei.
