Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 596 The Light Towards the Future

"Lypia has indeed lost."

The other high-ranking members of the organization who saw the lone gate also plopped back down.

Whether it's broadcast or not seems to make no difference. Given the power that Dark Nexus has shown, humanity is already powerless to stop it, and it looks like the real Dark Zagi will soon be resurrected.

The River of Oblivion won't last long. It wasn't exactly a heavily armed facility to begin with, and the fact that it was able to withstand the attack was probably only because of Lipia.

"Vice-Captain!"

In a state of intense pain and weakness, Komon could no longer support himself and stumbled down to the edge of the fault line with Saijo Kaze.

The tilted rooftop couldn't stop Saijo Kaze from rolling down, and he was no match for him in his current state. He could only grab Saijo Kaze's arm with all his might.

"Libia," Komon's face was deathly pale, the cold wind biting at his bones, his body drenched in sweat constantly draining his body heat and last bit of strength, yet he refused to let go of her hands. "If Prosecutor Mizuhara could be saved, the Vice-Captain can certainly be saved too..."

"Please, Lipia, even if it costs me my life... please give me strength!"

"I never want to see the same tragedy happen again, I don't want the vice-captain to die here!"

"A solitary gate!"

Kazukura wanted to find an opportunity to rescue them, but found that Dark Nexus, unable to defeat the River of Oblivion, had turned his attention to Komon, seemingly believing that Lipia had not been completely defeated.

"Be careful!"

"Bang!"

The Chester fighter turned and accelerated its fire toward Dark Nexus, drawing the attention of all humanity. Its missile bays fired in rapid succession, leaving trails of flame. Although all of them were blocked by a random red and black barrier, they successfully slowed down the enemy's advance.

The isolated gate is our last hope; we must preserve it no matter what.

"Hurry, Ikumon! Now's the time..."

"Sizzle!"

Outside of the instance.

The giant Xia Chuan floated in the desolate high-dimensional space, his dim eyes gradually brightening.

He could still hear the cries of the lonely gate.

Unfortunately, his ceiling is limited, and there's no chance of a miracle.

His abilities were destined to fall short of meeting the expectations of the isolated sect.

However, in a fight, they still have the strength to put up a fight.

He has one more chance, risking being assimilated by the clone.

The Dark Card remained in the River of Oblivion and did not leave the instance with him.

"Clang!"

Xia Chuan's gaze pierced through the dimensional barrier, and he saw Komon and Saijo Kaze falling from the high-rise building's edge together in the explosion caused by Kuro Nai.

He was not human, yet he rediscovered the meaning of humanity through Komon.

Let's do it again.

"Whoosh—!"

Time freezes at the Shinjuku battlefield.

A tear slid down from the lonely gate that was suspended in mid-air, and the King's Ring that had disappeared reappeared on the finger. Black hair turned white out of thin air, and red eyes opened, instantly turning into a ball of light reflected from the broken glass of the building.

"So you're giving up already, Komon?"

"Lypia?!"

"What?"

Dark Nexus turned back in confusion, growling as he glared at the giant light that had risen from the ground in the street.

"It's you again! But... you've fully merged? Haha, you still chose to devour the Lone Sect!"

"call!"

Xia Chuan solidified the giant's body with a subtle whirlwind. For a moment, it seemed as if a Noah-like phantom, the size of an extragalactic galaxy, appeared. In the blink of an eye, it transformed back into the thick, dark clouds caused by the dungeon upgrade.

Dark Zagi is about to regain his power.

Strangely, it didn't put any pressure on him.

Something seems different.

Xia Chuan temporarily put aside the idea of ​​fusing with the dark cards, feeling as if he had stepped into another realm as he gripped them with his fingers.

This transformation seems to have crossed a critical point.

The synchronization rate with the isolated gate reached 100%.

S-rank!

Miracles, do they really exist?

"Bang! Bang!"

With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the several tracking light blasts fired by Kuro. Xia Chuan's perception spread across the globe, actively absorbing the light of hope that converged in space and time, and striding forward despite the impact of the storm.

I don't know about the rest, but he seems really strong right now?

"roar!"

Dark Nexus instinctively took a step back, then, in a fit of rage, unleashed an even more powerful red and black ray.

However, this time Xia Chuan still caught it with his hand, and it was much easier than before. He didn't even need to mobilize his energy; he just used his arms to forcefully break through the ray output.

"you……"

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan teleported to the front, parried Hei Nai's hasty counterattack with his left hand, and slammed into her with his right hand, knocking her over. Before she could regain her balance, Xia Chuan raised his leg in advance and kicked her thousands of meters away the moment she got up.

This time, it was Hei Nai's turn to slide backward uncontrollably. The pain from the force of the impact forced her to kneel on the ground, making it almost impossible for her to stand up for a moment.

"How is that possible? Where did you get your power?! You're just a..."

"Clang—!"

Centered on the Shinjuku battlefield, the sky above the Kanto region was suddenly covered by a layer of glowing marks. Kuro, who wanted to take flight to fight, crashed into it head-on and fell with a scream in the blink of an eye.

The light curtain pressed down, penetrating the buildings on the ground, and with a series of sharp cries, the alien beast cells that had spread throughout the city instantly dissolved.

"You bastard!"

Dark Nexus crouched down and roared, launching another attack like a beast, but what awaited him was an extremely fast afterimage.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan lifted the body of the Black Giant with a single hook punch, the glowing mark converged on his right foot, and with a burst of light energy, he turned around and kicked hard.

Red and Blue appeared like phantom guardians, transforming into a red Y-shaped mark that pierced through Black's chest and abdomen.

One strike, one kill!

"Bang--!"

The sonic boom spread outwards, and Blackie, like a shooting star flying backwards, crashed through layers of dark clouds and exploded with a thunderous roar in the high sky, clearing away the entire sky. A halo of light, like a small sun, continued to envelop the earth before calming down after a while.

Xia Chuan raised his head slightly, and the giant's body was tinged with gold.

Warm light suited him better than darkness.

"Beep!"

The red light rang out once again, yet the giant figure standing amidst the ruins of Shinjuku still exuded a powerful aura.

It doesn't feel like a curtain falling, but rather an inspiring voice leading to the future.

"call!"

Xia Chuan lifted the ball of light to protect Saijo Kaze, whom he had saved, and Kazukura, who had just been caught in the explosion, and then lowered his head to head towards the safe area on the ground.

At the same time, the River of Oblivion seemed to have completed its final mission, collapsing with a roar in the afterglow of the setting sun. Its main body fragments were embedded diagonally in the ground, and the dark cards fell back to the ground along with the shape of the Xia Chuan giant.

Lucifer casually caught the Dark Card, and a new image of Black Nai, who had transformed into Dark Zagi, appeared on his face, staring straight ahead as if symbolizing that there was no turning back.

"An isolated sect?"

With the help of Saijo Kaze, who had regained consciousness, Wakura arrived and was momentarily stunned when he saw Komon with his white hair.

The difference between the second transformation and the first one was indeed too great.

As Dark Nexus said, did it devour the Lone Gate?

"He's from the Lonely Gate..."

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan turned around and smiled. The red in his eyes disappeared, his white hair turned black, and he transformed into a phantom and separated from Gu Men.

Who says you have to devour and transform?

He is Ultraman, but also a human.

"Captain! Vice-Captain!"

"A solitary gate!"

"They actually won..."

"Unbelievable, what on earth happened?"

Shiori Hiraki waved and shouted to the ground amidst the roar of the transport plane's engines, while the manager Matsunaga behind her suppressed his excitement and coughed lightly to maintain his composure.

Finally, Kira Sawa was brought out by Mizuhara Sara and her group, and finally gained his freedom.

Unlike the others, Kira Yu stared blankly behind Komon, his psychic abilities allowing him to vaguely sense extraterrestrial life forms.

"The visitor is completely wrong. This is not an ordinary giant warrior. The future is indeed not something that can be predicted casually."
