Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 709 The Black Giant

"Bang! Bang!"

A series of resounding booms echoed through the forests along the riverbank as several fireballs grazed the body of Gauss's blue giant and landed in the factory area.

The repair shop was instantly blown to pieces, and two engineering robots inside were torn to pieces in the flames, eliciting a painful scream from Team U.

"Our fighter jets..."

"Be careful!"

Xia Chuan stopped the female team member who wanted to run back to put out the fire, and squinted at Gauss, who had erected a barrier to block the fireballs.

It wasn't just monsters that attacked, but also several carapace tentacles that emerged from the void, and Hyper Zetton with its scythe-like arms could be vaguely seen amidst the surging black mist.

It is not the gigantic juvenile form one might imagine, but rather very close to its complete form.

It appears slender yet powerful, with its head bowed as if in standby mode, only the tentacles extending from its back moving. Its boss aura is oppressive, like a gathering of storms, as if its true form could descend at any moment.

"call!"

Xia Chuan bypassed Gauss's figure in the midst of battle to investigate the source of the attack.

This Hyper Zetton...

Perhaps because it was a single instance, it did not incorporate many other spacetime materials, including the part of the Sphia sphere that it had originally devoured.

However, in contrast, it seemed that the other party contained the life force of the entire universe, including all the missing life forms on Earth.

It hasn't advanced to SS level yet, but it's already far beyond the juvenile stage, and it's not far from being fully mature.

"Are they using Ultraman as their last firewood?" Xia Chuan's gaze darkened slightly.

"Go, Musashi-nii!"

The children, recovering from the sudden attack, cheered Gauss on with tense little faces.

Gauss, who had originally planned to tame the monster using the Loving Moon Goddess Mode, was overwhelmed by the tentacle lashes and suffered a heavy blow to his back while trying to intercept a fireball.

The problem is that Astron came back during the day, and in the blink of an eye, three monsters crawled out of the mountains and joined the battle.

Although they were probably driven here, it would be better to get rid of these monsters completely.

Letting it go will only cause you trouble.

"hold head high!"

Unable to protect both ends, Gauss was repeatedly struck by the monster. Astron was no longer the cowardly creature that had fled in disgrace. The terrifying monster's body stomped on the ground, breaking trees in rows, and continued to spray out explosive bombs.

"Bang bang bang!"

Perhaps realizing that this couldn't go on, Gauss rolled to avoid the attack, and then switched to a red corona mode with light energy flowing around him.

Unlike the gentle moon goddess who fights with detours, the corona's power and speed surge.

However, it seems a bit late to switch forms now. Before he could even repel a few monsters, a red light appeared on Gauss's chest. His giant body was always a step behind, constantly being whipped by the armored tentacles.

The valley resounded with thunderous booms.

The giant Gauss had barely gotten up when he was flung away again, crashing heavily into the mountain ridge, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

"Don't worry about us," the female team member pleaded, tugging at Natsukawa. "Go help Musashi! We'll protect ourselves!"

Xia Chuan pondered for a moment and looked at the frightened children: "Alright."

Hyper Zetton is a bit different from what I expected; it feels completely different from the movie plot.

But he couldn't wait any longer.

It might get even more complicated later on.

"Sizzle!"

Xia Chuan stepped forward, his body radiating wisps of red and black lightning. His projected clone overlapped with the card's image, and as a large amount of dark energy expanded, a beam of evil light flashed and descended upon the battlefield.

"Boom—!"

"What?"

The female team member who had just asked Xia Chuan for help stood there, stunned, staring blankly at the dark clouds in the sky where lightning was striking continuously.

Something seems off.

"Bang!"

As the lightning subsided, Xia Chuan's dark figure was revealed on the mountain battlefield.

Lucifer does not have a specific form; for him, Zaki is more suitable for combat.

However, perhaps due to the initial dark curse, the transformation using the dark card broke some kind of restriction, and a violent aura surged into his heart, bringing with it a series of beastly roars.

Xia Chuan can only switch to divinity to maintain the transformation.

The red giant's eyes shone with a calm light, unlike the Zagi Prototype who went out of control and raged wildly.

At this moment, he was actually glad that his clone only had S-class combat power, so he could control the battle without having to fuse with a human host.

There is simply no suitable human host here.

It's not that I reject female human hosts, but the women and children below can't bear the dark power. If they were to transform into giants of light, it would be possible, but even A-rank would be a stretch.

"scare!"

Xia Chuan looked up and flashed into the battle. After parrying the lashing tentacles of Zetton with his arm and saving Gauss, the red and black giant's body left afterimages as it moved at high speed and unleashed its power.

Under the explosion of dark lightning, all the monsters that were besieging Gauss were compressed into two-dimensional cards.

Gauss had just regained his footing at this point.

The cards, shimmering faintly, seemed to have time slowed down as they slowly flipped and flew amidst the explosion's flames, with the faint roars of monsters still audible.

Gauss was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. He just stared blankly at the figure of Xia Chuan Zaki surrounded by a destructive dark aura.

Is this Ultraman too?

"A black, black giant?"

The ground team of U couldn't help, and almost got caught in the fire and explosion. They were all stunned as they looked at the red and black giants outside the factory.

"Is this Mr. Kaminaga?"

Despite appearing to be allies, the Zagi Titan's size was far greater than the impact of Gauss.

It's not just a highly destructive dark form; just one glance is like being dragged into a sea of ​​hellfire.

"It feels the same as before!"

The female captain stared intently, her voice trembling, and the feeling of being unable to breathe surged up in her heart again.

Powerful, mysterious, dark... it feels even more terrifying than a monster.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan glanced at the terrified crowd out of the corner of his eye, but didn't think too much about it.

He was already mentally prepared before using dark powers.

Because this is the nature of darkness, the true power of darkness.

Along the way, Lucifer's cards absorbed too much energy.

He had tried his best to conceal his breathing, otherwise it wouldn't have just caused a fright.

Stopping Gauss from asking questions, Xia Chuan leaped and charged towards the Hyper Zetton phantom in mid-air.

The tentacles contracted, abruptly closing the spatial passage just before Xia Chuan approached.

"Crack!"

Under the bombardment of lightning, Hyper Zetton once again concealed its presence, leaving only a ring of dark fluctuations that Xia Chuan missed.

This time it seems to be just a test of him.

The giant Xia Chuan's body hovered above the battlefield, his red eyes calmly probing for traces of spatial fluctuations.

The Lucifer Cards feed on Hyper Zetton, and conversely, Lucifer is also food for this creature.

As he pondered, Xia Chuan's gaze pierced through space and turned to the outside of the instance.

The Legend of Ultraman remains shrouded in darkness.

Because of the lack of humans on Earth, it has become especially difficult for the knights to enter, but the good news is that they can still get in.

……

"call--!"

Under the starlight of the night, plumes of black smoke rose from the ruins of the factory, and flames flickered in a few corners.

The survivors remained silent outside until Xia Chuan returned, at which point there was some commotion.

The fear brought by the darkness had not subsided, and the children hid even further away.
