Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 718 Ultraman

"you……"

Belial's head stiffened, and as his sharp teeth snapped open, he was suddenly engulfed by flames, transforming into a massive, exploding fireball that blotted out the sky.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

The firelight illuminated the entire city.

It wasn't until the flames from the high-altitude explosion dissipated that the crowd on the ground and Geed came to their senses again.

It's not that there's anything wrong with Belial being eliminated, it's just that it happened so fast that people couldn't react in time.

One moment they were terrifying demons leading the world to destruction, and the next they were dealt with in no time.

In particular, there has always been a legend that Belial caused the Impaler Crisis and destroyed the universe.

"Ultraman?"

Geed stared blankly at the giant figure hovering in the air.

This is the real Ultraman... So strong, and so warm.

Will I accept his existence?

Despite having just been rescued from Belial by Natsukawa, Geed couldn't help but feel nervous and melancholy.

He fought for so long but failed to gain people's recognition simply because he was Belial's son.

I wonder what Ultraman would think of him...

"call!"

Xia Chuan waved away the flames and dust, but after scanning the area, he couldn't find Belial's presence.

Only the remaining Five Emperor Beasts and Zog Monster Capsules were absorbed by the Lucifer Cards like nectar.

Beria did not die.

Or rather, it didn't die completely.

A few pieces of information flashed through Xia Chuan's mind.

Because of the Reiblood aliens, it seems he is unable to truly destroy Belial.

Belial not only possesses Reiblood's genetic material, but also harbors Reiblood's soul.

The real issue to eliminate Belial is this ultimate life form.

It's unclear why the King of Ultra only sealed and imprisoned Belial back then, but he is indeed far from being as powerful as Reiblood.

This ultimate life form, for reasons unknown, exists only as a spiritual entity. It not only spreads its genetic material across multiple universes but also splits into numerous spiritual clones, searching for containers everywhere.

The so-called Reonics are not the successors of the Reibloodians, but merely vessels used for possession.

The main storyline of "Ultraman Galaxy Monster Battle" revolves around the Reiblood aliens searching for the most suitable vessel for their spiritual bodies through battles between the Reionics.

Belial, on the other hand, was directly possessed because he was powerful enough.

None of these ancient monsters that once dominated the universe are simple.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan retracted his giant form and landed back on the ground.

He didn't dwell too much on the conceptual problem of not being able to eliminate Belial.

It can only be said that he is not strong enough.

However, at this stage, there are people who can completely eliminate Belial.

Natsukawa turned to face Asakura Riku, who was panting and running towards him—the human form of Ultraman Geed.

Contrary to the records in the database, although he was also 19 years old, he did not have the youthful appearance at all. A scar was past the corner of his eye, and his brows looked like they had been suffering from pain.

The plot isn't just off, it's completely changed.

Listening to the discussions about JEDG in every corner of the city, Xia Chuan couldn't help but be moved.

It's truly remarkable that he didn't turn to the dark side in this environment, with no companions or support.

How are we supposed to deal with Belial like this?

In the original series, Geed was able to completely defeat Belial not only because he was Belial's son, but also because of a combination of factors.

It's possible that the King of Ultra was involved in some of these schemes.

But now...

Xia Chuan sensed the approach of Xingshan City.

The darkness that destroyed the Ultraman universe must have surpassed SSS. Even if this world could be recreated from the past, it still wouldn't be able to resist the encroachment of darkness.

It's hard to say whether the King of Ultra still has any consciousness.

……

"It should be this way!"

On the other side, Ishikari Ari didn't run too far from the battlefield. Instead, she took the initiative to approach the battlefield before anyone could react.

Her pale, beautiful face was filled with excitement, her eyes brimming with both fear and fervor. Her slender figure staggered through the ruins, not retreating even as her trousers were torn.

She saw that when the monsters were destroyed and when the giants disappeared, a glimmer of light descended to the ground.

"What if monsters and Ultraman were really all human..."

"Hehehe!"

A red orb radiating heat appeared not far ahead. Ishikari Ari felt her breath catch in her throat, and the next moment her body trembled and she lost consciousness.

"Um?!"

Xia Chuan frowned and looked back.

I already said I was leaving, why won't you listen?

It's like a moth drawn to a flame.

"that……"

Asakura Riku's heart tightened, thinking that Natsukawa was dissatisfied with him.

"What are you going to do with me? The Riser and the Ultra Capsules were stolen from the Land of Light by Belial's orders from Fukuide Kei. I..."

"I am not Ultraman from the Land of Light," Natsukawa said, turning his gaze back to Riku Asakura. "Besides, whether the Land of Light even exists anymore is also a question."

"what?"

Asakura Riku didn't quite understand, but he sensed that Natsukawa meant no harm, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you so much for saving me just now, I am extremely grateful."

"It's nothing," Natsukawa said, raising his hand to grab the Ultra Capsule from Asakura Riku's storage belt. "Belial is still alive, so don't be too careless."

Asakura Riku stared blankly, bewildered: "My capsules..."

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan's palm glowed, and the blank card, fused with the power of Lipia, transformed into a stream of light that flowed into the original Ultra Capsule.

He is certainly not as good as the King of Ultra now, but he can still improve Geed's combat power to some extent, at least he will not be easily devoured by Belial again.

Asakura Riku's expression was slightly startled. Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Natsukawa, he decisively shut his mouth.

"alright."

Xia Chuan casually tossed the enhanced Ultra Capsule back to Asakura Riku.

"I'm just passing through this world. What the future holds is up to you. Keep working hard."

"senior!"

Riku Asakura hurriedly caught the Ultra Capsule with both hands, and seeing that Natsukawa seemed to be preparing to leave, he quickly called out to him.

"Can I? This world doesn't need me at all... Everyone thinks I shouldn't exist, so..."

"It's not everyone, it's just that you can't hear the voices of those who thank you," Xia Chuan paused slightly, "Believe in yourself."

"Can I follow you, senior?" Riku Asakura asked expectantly. "I want to become Ultraman too, just like you!"

"You were Ultraman all along."

Xia Chuan waved his hand and disappeared into the center of the ruins.

He can't help Geed much, but lending his strength is enough.

Belial has only just possessed Geed, and it's still a long time before his next comeback battle. Geed doesn't have much time to grow, but it's enough.

For him, the most important thing is still finding Zero.

The ultimate bracelet's unique properties allow him to freely travel through dungeon timelines. This time, his main body was able to enter "Ged" using it as an anchor point, so the sooner it is repaired, the better.

Otherwise, if the Ultimate Bracelet falls silent again, it could very well lead to him being excluded from the dungeon.

It now appears that only finding Zero can fix the problem.

"Ariel!"

At the edge of the battlefield, Belial, who was possessing Ishikari Ari, was about to return to the crowd when Natsukawa called him back.

After briefly accessing her memories and learning about Xia Chuan's identity, a hint of disgust and anger flashed in Ishikari Ari's eyes.

What kind of person dares to be her teacher?

Her expression shifted several times before Ishikari Ari forced a smile and faced Natsukawa, suppressing her displeasure: "Teacher, what are you doing here?"

She still needs to play the human role, otherwise the mysterious Ultraman might discover her secrets.

I'll kill this human later.
