Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 698: Perfect Ending (Super 8)

"Clang!"

Rays of light detached from the giant's body, streaking through the atmosphere like meteors as they returned to Earth, leaving only Xia Chuan to quietly observe this beautiful and enchanting blue planet.

What an amazing world.

He wanted to protect humanity, and he also received a response from humanity.

Although in the end it only allowed him to break through the natural S-level limit, at the moment when the shining light shone, he saw clearly the path to SS.

If all goes as planned, the Shining Form can also be replicated in the future, becoming a trump card on par with the Dark Lucifer cards.

Of course, the biggest gain is still breaking through to S level.

He has finally achieved his key goal, and from now on, the power of the knight and the power of Ultra will be perfectly integrated.

The only difference between them and the top warriors of the Ultraman universe is the accumulation of energy.

If Noah represents the macrocosm, then he represents the microcosm. In terms of scale, there is no difference between a large country and a small country.

"Whoosh!"

The Xia Chuan Giant's body seemed to merge with the sunlight as if it had transformed into a feather, and in the blink of an eye, it reappeared outside the "Super 8" instance.

Being at a high level isn't all good. He felt that it was becoming difficult for his main body to enter these instances, like an adult riding a child's toy car, always worried about breaking it.

This phenomenon will likely become more and more serious as it continues to evolve.

I wonder if there is a way to conceptually differentiate one's own power.

Thinking back to the time when the Monster Island Riders in Ultraman Tiga materialized the phantom of Lipia, Natsukawa seemed to be deep in thought.

The real crisis is always the darkness of the universe. Characters like Red-Eyes and Shadow Mages are just dungeon characters, not to mention ordinary monsters.

As the knight squad expands and spreads throughout the dungeons, he can't possibly be out there putting out fires everywhere.

The red ball obtained from "Time Travel" should be further utilized.

After resolving the troubles in this world, we should immediately begin the large-scale dungeon battle.

The knights would light up as many normal dungeons as possible, while he would focus on conquering high-level dungeons...

After setting his next goal, Natsukawa shifted his perception away from the Super 8 world.

The darkness of the universe shows no signs of abating; in fact, it has become even more terrifying with the liberation of Super 8.

Even though he was already an S-class Ultraman, half a god of Ultra, the pressure did not lessen in the slightest.

The giant's gaze grew increasingly solemn.

The vast darkness of the universe, capable of destroying everything, may be above SSS.

He's lucky now; he might be a future Ultraman after the Great Cataclysm, only affected by the lingering aura of darkness and silence.

It's hard to imagine the despair that the Ultraman of the past endured.

If it weren't for his deep connection with the Divine Mirror and the many people he needed to protect, he would have wanted to leave this universe and find another way out.

……

Earth in "Super 8".

Yokohama was littered with explosion ruins after a major battle. Fortunately, the damage was only caused by the initial attack by the Two-Headed King Pandon, and the subsequent battlefield shifted too quickly to cause much of an impact.

No one even remembers that the moon nearly collided with the earth.

Even before disaster relief efforts began, the entire city was filled with the joy of victory.

Although Natsukawa did not return to Earth, people still deeply remember Ultraman who saved the world.

Although this Ultraman is slightly different from the original Ultraman on TV.

"call--!"

A gentle breeze caressed the earth.

Fireworks lit up the memorial square, and the Ultraman song echoed across the bay.

The four rescued elderly people gathered at the scene, ignoring the mayor who was giving a speech, and sighed as they looked up at the faint starlight in the sky.

"The Planet of Ultra... just who is that Lipia?" Hayata, the first human host, exclaimed. "He seems like a younger version of myself."

At the moment they were controlled by the Shadow Mage, they also gained Ultraman's memories.

This is why they are even more puzzled by Xia Chuan's existence.

It looks a lot like him, but it's not him. Apart from the long-lost name "Lypia" and the highly similar appearance, everything else is completely unfamiliar.

It seems, just as Shadow Mage said, that Lipia is an Ultraman who shouldn't exist.

"Anyway, it just has to be Ultraman," Seven's human form, Dan Moroboshi, said with a broad smile as he looked at the lively crowd around him. "If I could, I'd love to let him try my special dish."

"Speaking of which, it seems that Daigo and the others know Lipia."

"Where's Daigo?"

……

stadium.

Daigo and Gamu have finished dealing with their separation matters, leaving only Asuka Shin still making his final farewells.

Those who had regained their Ultraman powers didn't have much time left to linger.

This time, it's truly time to return to my own world.

"I don't quite understand," Meng said, her brow furrowed, still deeply bothered by her failure to create an anti-gravity device. "Why does it always fail at the last step? The laws of physics should be the same in both worlds."

"Don't think about it."

Daigo, on the other hand, didn't seem to be conflicted.

I believe that he will be able to handle his relationship with Lina smoothly in the future.

Based on his interactions over the past two days, it seems that the other side of him only needs a little courage to propose.

Daigo glanced at Rena waiting at the intersection, then bid farewell to Gamu one last time, saying, "Looks like I don't have time. Good luck."

"?"

I was only stunned for a moment before I realized that Daigo's demeanor had shifted from that of a scholar to that of a young professional, though the way he looked at me hadn't changed much.

"It was a dream!"

A female figure next to Lina called out to me while I was still confused. Her shy appearance almost made me pop my eyes out.

"A stool?"

Even after being tightly embraced by Atsuko Sasaki, Gamu still couldn't react.

In this world, he is actually dating Dunzi.

Why?

Atsuko Sasaki is XIG's communications officer, and their relationship is not even as good as that of another communications officer, Georgie.

They sometimes argue.

Especially after the Zog incident, he left XIG and returned to school to continue his studies, and they usually had almost no interaction.

"Why?" I dreamt, my body stiffening.

What exactly does he like about Dunzi in this parallel world?

She has a bad temper and is always bossing him around...

"What? Why?" Sasaki Atsuko blushed and stepped back, fiddling with her fingers. "Congratulations, I heard from Fujimiya that you've returned to the research institute."

"Uh-huh."

I dreamt that steam was rising from the top of my head.

She seemed much gentler than the girl he knew, and upon closer inspection, she was also very pretty.

"From now on," I stammered nervously, "please tell the other me not to care about what others think, to do what I need to do, and that no matter which world I am, as long as I believe, I will definitely succeed!"

"Huh?" Sasaki Atsuko turned around in confusion to look at Lina, who was cheering her on from behind.

"goodbye."

I dreamt that I had let go of the anti-gravity device, and contentedly followed Daigo away from the world of Super 8.

Seeing this scene at the stadium entrance, Shin Asuka took a deep breath and solemnly turned to Ryo Yumimura, who had come to see him off: "I'm leaving too, Ryo. Thank you for these past two days. I hope that my other self can realize his dream and become a real baseball player."

"I believe," Ryo Yumimura smiled, "that my other self would definitely want you to survive, because saving the world doesn't require sacrificing yourself."

"Um!"

Asuka Shin smiled, his hands clasped together.

"The future is unknown, but the world I live in has certainly changed in the past."

……

Yokohama Hospital.

The Knights, including Fujiwara Saiji, were unable to immediately exit the instance. Instead, they became extremely weak after being corrupted by darkness, and even after merging with Natsukawa in battle, they were unable to fully recover.

"Mr. Kondo!" the on-duty nurse announced as she entered the ward, "Mr. Kondo can be discharged now."

Thank you.

Slightly injured from being possessed during the battle, Kondo Isami hurriedly jumped off the hospital bed and gave the nurse what he thought was a gentlemanly smile.

Although he was a little unhappy with Xia Chuan's unauthorized possession, he was quite happy with the result.

In this battle, he finally caught up and successfully advanced to level 9 knight.

"Don't be discouraged," Kondo Isami said with a smile after the nurse left, turning to Fujiwara and the others. "You guys just had bad luck. Next time it will be your turn."

"..."

"I feel like I'll probably never have another chance like this again," Fujiwara Saiji sighed, gazing out the window at the sky.

A twinkling star in the clear sky acts like a beacon, guiding the way.

"Fortunately, the outcome was alright; everyone survived."

"Yes, as long as you're alive, there's still hope."

"Another perfect battle; the mentor saved everyone."

Yokohama Port Bay.

The bronze statue of Ultraman Mebius lay dying in the sea breeze and scorching sun, waiting for time to repair itself and automatically send him away: "...?"
