Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 598 Light in the Dark Universe

"Lipia, Kaminaga, Mentor, Giant, Natsukawa..."

Under his gaze and observation, a series of inner thoughts re-emerged in Xia Chuan's mind.

As numerous thoughts converged and connected with the students, his true name also resounded, and a profound bond, like the light of the Milky Way, pierced through the void and firmly pointed to the Nexus dungeon.

The clearest line comes from Hiroko Asami, who is leading the team.

He didn't know what was happening in the future, but these ties were undoubtedly the best anchors for him at the moment.

The only problem is that the students do not have the ability to freely connect to dungeons, and it is still unclear why they appeared in Nexus.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan continued to observe for a while, transmitting information through the causal connections.

Panel projection screens appeared in front of everyone.

By sharing or distributing, his original panel system filled in the gaps that players lacked, while temporarily replacing the Divine Mirror.

It feels like I'm trying to exploit a loophole in the magic mirror, but I might get caught by it.

However, the current Divine Mirror does not have self-awareness, and the battle in this world also caused it to break free from the control of aliens.

He still has plenty of time to play the role.

Xia Chuan's gaze once again turned to the desolate, uninhabited deep space.

Although this place was a bit strange, with no signs of life, it was a good place for him to stay, at least he didn't have to worry about an enemy popping up somewhere.

The only threat is the darkness outside that is encroaching on the universe, but from the perspective of cosmic timescales, it is not something he should be worried about right now.

"Ugh!"

Several comets, their long tails trailing behind them, streaked across the outer reaches of the galaxy, colliding with each other and creating a spectacular cosmic fireworks display for Xia Chuan.

On the other side, the light from a supernova explosion from a distant star cluster, having wandered for an unknown period of time, also entered the observation range.

The universe wasn't so quiet either, because Natsukawa could hear countless mournful "sounds".

These "sounds" are inaudible to humans, but they are extremely noisy to the giant, especially since he is currently enhancing his perception in order to gather information.

There was even a "voice of the stars" coming from the frozen planet behind them.

The universe is filled with all kinds of information at all times.

Unfortunately, apart from this frozen planet, he still didn't gain much.

This star field seemed to be a cage where the first generation was exiled, without even a single monster.

What's even more tragic is that he didn't experience any negative emotional fluctuations whatsoever.

He is quite special now; if he wants to have human emotions, he still needs to rely on a human form like Komon.

"Um?"

Xia Chuan kept track of the trainees' status in real time, continuously exploring the isolated causal line that had suddenly been triggered in their perception.

It doesn't belong to the students or to Nexus, but is connected to the unlit star cluster of instances.

Strange, has someone entered another Ultraman dungeon?

Nexus does indeed have a 10-player party limit, just like in the past, and it seems normal for other dungeons to have more players.

But who could it be?

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan's consciousness ascended, and he re-entered the multi-dimensional space of the instance. After crossing a dreamlike tunnel of light, he flew towards the end of the light following a faint calling voice.

In the same cosmic space, strangely, no anchor point was found, and the giant's body materialized and descended directly.

No, it's not that there are no anchor points.

The anchor point is the original Ultraman he fused with.

It wasn't him who established the connection with this copy; it was the original.

"Could this be the original instance?"

Xia Chuan scanned the surroundings but couldn't find any trace of Earth; in fact, he wasn't even in the solar system.

There was a planet not far away from where the call had been made earlier.

It's not far, but given his current situation, it seems he can only fly there.

Xia Chuan checked himself over.

The materialized form is the original one; the card system is still there, but the information gleaned from the copy is quite subtle.

It is undoubtedly based on an ancient worldview from the Showa era, where energy is linked to physical strength and is extremely scarce.

Without the ability to teleport or use a flying vehicle, even an A+ level warrior would have to conserve their energy and fly there themselves.

Hmm, it seems he can't teleport anymore, and the abilities he inherited from the knights don't involve interplanetary travel; his dimensional travel is all limited to Earth.

Fly!

"Buzz!"

Xia Chuan turned his head and locked onto the planet, and the giant's figure transformed into a red glowing object, embarking on a journey at the speed of light.

The speed was acceptable, and we arrived at the target planet in the blink of an eye, without expending too much energy.

Most importantly, there is no 3-minute time limit on Earth.

"Bang--!"

The red orb exploded and landed, revealing the figure of the Xia Chuan Giant. He was almost embarrassed, but the scene before him made him forget everything else.

What was initially thought to be a life-bearing planet turned out to be a death planet.

All life on the planet has been turned into wax figures.

In the darkness of night, only ghostly whispers echoed through the streets of the nearest city, and the previous calls seemed to have been nothing but an illusion.

"call!"

Natsukawa shrinks in size, and "Shinji Kaminaga" reappears, walking expressionlessly through the alien street displaying wax figures, just like a prosecutor.

Judging from the signs of activity, these creatures were living together normally not long ago.

The incident occurred just before nightfall, when some houses had already turned on their lights.

Near the western edge, there are wax figures of the army, and people are showing a tendency to seek refuge.

Perhaps they already knew about it before the incident occurred.

This was even the last place where the accident happened.

“Wuwu!”

Xia Chuan stopped in front of a two-story building with the lights on, where large patches of black flowers grew in the open space at the intersection.

As if sensing his activity, faint sobs of a woman could be heard from the darkness.

It sounded like the ventilation of a thin pipe, or like the breathing of some kind of creature.

A wax figure slowly turned around, revealing a dark, woman's face.

"Atla?"

The woman was well hidden, but she did not escape Xia Chuan's senses.

When Xia Chuan discovered the planetary anomaly, he immediately identified the only living aura.

Atla aliens.

Information flashed through Xia Chuan's mind.

His memories, that is, the data stored in the Divine Mirror, contain information about such a cosmic creature.

The Black Flower Star People, also known as the Atla Star People, come from the planet of terror and death. They roam the universe, annihilating all life on the planets they attack by firing wax figure beams.

I wonder if it feeds on the fear of intelligent beings, like the alien beasts.

Xia Chuan's expression was complicated.

This kind of world-destroying monster is actually only B-level.

Moreover, the flower on her chest is a fatal weakness.

"Earthlings?"

The woman drifted through the flowerbed like a ghost, her gaze towards Xia Chuan filled with cruelty and excitement, completely oblivious to the fact that an Earthling would appear here.

"The next planet will be Earth..."

"Clang!"

Xia Chuan dodged the special light wave released by the black flower on the woman's chest, and his figure instantly transformed into a life-sized Ultraman. Before the woman's smile could freeze, he unleashed an eight-part light wheel.

Even though it was just a B-level cosmic creature, he would not underestimate it and would strike with deadly precision.

However, the black flowers on the ground seemed to provide cover, and the woman escaped the eight-part light wheel with just a strange cry. When she reappeared, she had grown into a gigantic silver-haired monster.

"hold head high!"

"So what if it gets bigger?"

Xia Chuan glanced at the wax figures around him, their faces contorted with fear before death, clenched his fists, and simultaneously grew larger as the wax-like light enveloped him.

The Atla aliens' usually invincible beam attacks failed to work; instead, they were bounced off by the phase distortion during Natsukawa's transformation.

"Sizzle!"

Sensing something was wrong, the white-haired monster looked in alarm at the Xia Chuan giant's body enveloped in light. It was too late to escape; the black flower on its chest was instantly pierced by the ray.

In the Ultraman universe, combat power cannot be calculated entirely based on rank, but Natsukawa, using all his strength even when hunting a rabbit, truly didn't give this Atla alien much of a chance.

"Bang--!"

Feeling the heat wave from the explosion of the Atlas aliens, Xia Chuan looked up into deep space.

Judging from this guy's reaction just now, Earth doesn't seem to be that far away?

The situation is relatively stable for now, and we can't find any other dungeon anchors, so exploring this dungeon for the time being is a good idea.

Although the original Ultraman has been merged with him, the Ultraman dungeons are highly interconnected, and it is not impossible to establish a connection like the Knight dungeons.
