Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 634 Mechanical Lifeform Faibas

The universe and the Milky Way are filled with starlight.

Xia Chuan fell to the ground like a shooting star, and after searching for a while, he finally found Asuka Shin, who was trapped in a cycle of memories, on the riverbank.

"Didn't we agree to go watch my baseball game tomorrow...?"

"As compensation, Dad will play baseball with me in the finals when he gets back! If Dad loses, he has to listen to me all day and give me a day off to play with me."

"This is a man's promise!"

"dad!"

The scene changed rapidly; before Xia Chuan could even get close, the surroundings became solemn again.

Young Shin Asuka learns from a pilot uncle that his father has died in an accident.

"Dad isn't coming back."

"Boom!"

The baseball field collapsed, and a mesmerizing stream of light descended from the sky, a dreamlike scene fraught with danger.

As the fear accumulated in Asuka Shin, the light materialized into a terrifying, swallowing black hole, and the entire world instantly dimmed. The unsupported Asuka continued to fall into the darkness, sinking into the abyss and beginning a deeper cycle of nightmares.

"Snapped!"

Xia Chuan reached out and grabbed Asuka Shin's arm, which was wearing a baseball glove. An even stronger burst of light erupted, instantly replacing the flowing light, shattering the black hole, and restoring light to the entire dream world.

"Stop this. Didn't you still want to join the GUTS team?"

"dad?"

Asuka Shin weakly opened his eyes, momentarily mesmerized by the warm, fantastical light.

There was no feeling of fear.

This is the true light...

"Whoosh!"

A powerful force came from his arm, and his body was suddenly lifted up, easily escaping the dark abyss.

Only after regaining some consciousness did Asuka Shin realize that the person in front of him was not his father, but Shinjo's annoying face.

"Uncle?"

【What uncle?】

Xincheng was furious and going crazy in his consciousness space.

[Lippia, this brat deserves to suffer more!]

Xia Chuan did not let go of Asuka Shin, but continued to swim upstream in the ocean of light, breaking through the dream together with Asuka Shin.

"Your father did not die, but turned into light. If one day you can also turn into light, that will be the time when father and son are reunited."

How did you know?

Asuka Shin remained skeptical, but then shut his mouth.

Xia Chuan transformed into a giant of light right in front of him, his magnificent figure disintegrating the entire illusory space, grabbing Hojo Emu and Dan Kuroto, who were being attacked on the other side, and leaping into the lower world.

A gigantic monster composed of numerous electronic devices appeared before the crowd.

"Found it."

The mechanical lifeform Faibas resembles a combination of a monitor and a circuit board, and its armor protects the true biological computer core.

"You actually..." Faibas took a few steps back, his voice turning somewhat annoyed as he saw Hojo Emu and the others being protected by Natsukawa. "So what if you found me? This is still my world. Even Ultraman can't defeat me!"

"What's going on? Ultraman? Isn't this the world of Kamen Rider?"

Dan Kuroto, looking completely bewildered, crawled up from the giant's palm and didn't realize what was happening until he was teleported away. His neck stiffened as he turned to Exyde, who was still in her transformed state.

"You're Emu Hojo, right?"

"The age of knights is long gone."

Hosho Emu let out a soft breath and stared directly at the two enormous figures opposing each other on the game screen, not paying any attention to Dan Kuroto.

"Don't you know your master is Ultraman?"

"I……"

Dan Ridou stared, unable to accept it.

After finally being released, he was told that times had changed.

What about all those previous plans?

It seems that "Peerless Dream" has become useless; what can we use to fight back?

At least he failed to crack the game space.

"I am the God of War, Dan Li, how could I possibly have a master?"

"If you want to run, you still have a chance now." Hosho Emu was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

"run?"

Dan Kuroto's mind started racing again, but when he saw the giants battling in the light screen, his face fell once more.

His intuition told him that running away now would have serious consequences, and he might not even be able to escape.

This is no longer the world of knights; without Xia Chuan's support, he would likely find it difficult to exist independently.

"And who is this brat?" Dan Kuroto's eyes darted around as he changed the subject, grabbing Asuka Shin.

There was just an ordinary kid here who was easy to bully.

"That guy... is that Uncle Ultraman?" Asuka Shin was still immersed in his chaotic thoughts, staring incredulously at the game screen, unable to distinguish between the game and reality.

"He only gained the power of Ultraman," Emu Hojo snatched Shin Asuka from Kuroto Dan's hand. "The Shinjo you saw may not actually be Shinjo."

"Isn't the uncle an uncle?"

"Bang--!"

The violent vibrations inside the game's light screen made the group tense again.

Unlike when it swiftly destroyed the game world, the giants seem to be no match for the mechanical monsters.

"it's useless!"

The girl's cold laughter echoed in the lower level.

"I've scanned all your data; every attack is calculated. What do you have to fight me with? And how long can you keep this up?"

"Clang!"

Xia Chuan steadied himself amidst the powerful attacks of the mechanical lifeforms.

Transforming into Shinjo's body can greatly extend the battle time, but his B-rank combat power is indeed a bit low.

The eight-point light wheel was unable to break through the opponent's defense.

"You don't need to side with humans," the girl's voice turned resentful. "The ones who truly deserve to be destroyed are humans, the humans who created me! Ultraman, this human world isn't the place for you!"

"Sizzle!"

Faibas further enhanced his aura amidst the surging electric current, gradually beginning to evolve towards A-rank.

The game area expanded rapidly, and people could even see the panicked crowds fleeing from the outside world. The Flying Swallow 2, which was sent by the Victory Team to support them, was trapped in the illusion before it even got close.

Seeing this, Xincheng, who was in the consciousness space, looked anxious.

It's Horii and the others! Lipia...

"I know."

The giant's gaze remained calm, unaffected by the girl's voice.

The center of gravity has shifted slightly downwards.

As the next attack interval arrived, the red Nexus card image suddenly merged into the giant's arms, and the high-frequency elbow blades unfolded, piercing the core of the mechanical behemoth the instant they were close.

"Sizzle!"

The girl, who had been exceptionally assertive, suddenly stammered, her mechanical body trembled, and even her movements became extremely difficult.

It's like the control system has been cut off.

"How could this be? I should have seen through it all..."

"Humans are not machines, nor are they static."

Xia Chuan turned his back and drew his glowing elbow blade. In the blink of an eye, a dazzling energy beam pierced through the mechanical behemoth's body.

"On the contrary, your attack methods are very easy to see through."

"Whoosh—!"

The girl had no chance to respond. Her mechanical body, along with the underlying world, began to dissipate rapidly, leaving only her core power as a card that flew into the energy lamp in Xia Chuan's chest.

The onlookers didn't even understand how the battle had turned around before it was exposed to the afterglow of the setting sun.

The once sprawling game city has been restored to its original state, now just a desolate riverbank.

"Is it all fake?"

Standing at the forefront of the storm, Emu Hojo unexpectedly gained a lot of feelings.

Dan Kuroto, standing to the side, looked completely bewildered.

I didn't feel anything special, I just thought the battles were so fake.

He thought he was about to regain his freedom? He was even contemplating that death might be a relief, but now…

"How did it become Ultraman?"

"call!"

Xia Chuan deactivated his transformation and landed back on the ground, his fingers firmly gripping a monster card imprinted with Faibas.

It would be a shame to destroy them directly, since not every computer can become a living being with self-awareness.

But this guy has a problem with his thinking, and it's not like he'll be left to cause trouble for me.

All he needs is a system tool; there's no need for it to retain its own consciousness. If this thing were to rebel, it would be far more dangerous than Dan Lidou.
