Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 721 Alien Gathering Area

Okinawa.

The sky was clear and blue.

A special base-type spaceship landed on the coast and then disappeared into the ground.

Asakura Riku carefully poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Natsukawa.

"This was originally a spaceship built by Belial, which was later left to me by Fukuide Kei for experiments. He occupied it for a while, and I only took it back a few days ago. Then Belial appeared..."

"Don't be so reserved, I'm not a scary person."

Natsukawa glanced at the nervous Asakura Riku, took a sip of water, and his senses began to spread towards Okinawa once more.

He was being too naive. Even with the database information, finding the Crimson Steel was not an easy task.

The Dark Universe also has some influence; the original plot can only be used as a reference.

As for the surviving Kussia... there are too many aliens living in Okinawa, making it impossible to lock onto a target.

"Do you know where I can get information?" Xia Chuan asked, turning his head.

"what?"

"never mind."

Asakura Riku's bewildered look made Natsukawa give up on asking him any more questions.

Although he matured early due to experiencing a lot of pain, he is still essentially a teenager. Apart from transforming and fighting, he is a complete novice in everything else.

It's clear from the base layout that, after losing his companions from the original series, Asakura Riku is finding it difficult to even take care of himself.

"Let's go check out the alien colony first."

Xia Chuan got up and decided on the itinerary.

He can't be of much help in combat; each Ultra Warrior has their own fighting style, and Riku Asakura doesn't need him to give instructions in that regard.

When I was a teacher, I was used to letting my students grow up freely.

Asakura Riku's special training depends on himself.

All he needs to do is point out the direction.

"Whoosh!"

The teleportation elevator departed from the spaceship and reappeared near a chaotic street.

Belial put a lot of thought into creating this base; it was clearly designed to help Asakura Riku travel faster.

Centered on the base, the teleportation range directly covers the entire island of Okinawa.

"Where am I?" Asakura Riku stared blankly at the bustling street in front of him. The aliens coming and going made him subconsciously tense up, feeling completely unsafe.

"It seems to be a secret gathering place for aliens who have illegally stayed on Earth. Every place has some lawless areas."

As an outsider, Natsukawa adapted to the environment more than Asakura Riku.

The era of active aliens... is probably the biggest difference between the new generation and those past versions.

Whether it's the world of Ultraman Tiga or the world of Gaia, aliens are quite mysterious beings and are generally viewed with hostility by humans.

However, the existence of a new generation of aliens has become quite common.

Earth has been completely integrated into the cosmic civilization system, much like it was before in our world.

Logically speaking, there should be an organization called AIB here in Geed that specifically manages aliens, and Asakura Riku's childhood friend works there, but there seems to be no news about it now.

"Relax, don't try to stand out too much."

Xia Chuan patted Asakura Riku on the shoulder and casually went into a bar.

It's a lawless place, so don't expect it to be orderly. It's chaotic everywhere, with all sorts of strange creatures doing things, unlike the outside world where people at least mimic humans.

Even aliens that are close to humans have various characteristics. The waiters either have monster ears or tails. In comparison, Natsukawa and Asakura Riku, two normal people, seem particularly strange.

"Humans, they're humans!"

"Humans actually came here..."

From the moment they appeared at the gathering place, many dangerous gazes, some subtle and some overt, were fixed on Xia Chuan and his companion.

The feeling was even more pronounced once inside the bar.

"Mr. Kaminaga, why did we come here?" Riku Asakura asked in a low voice.

In his human form, he is also considered a superhuman, with jumping ability and physical strength far exceeding the normal range. However, in terms of combat power... he is definitely not as good as his transformed form.

He's not good at fighting at all, and there are aliens everywhere here, so he doesn't look like someone to mess with.

"You should at least learn some martial arts." Natsukawa glanced at Asakura Riku, who was wary of his surroundings, and then sat down at the bar.

Geed's fighting style is very rudimentary, relying almost entirely on brute force; in other words, only by starting strong can he defeat most enemies.

It's not his fault.

Geed was just a tool used by Belial to collect Ultra Capsules from the very beginning. Belial never intended for him to become powerful. He had no one to teach him and fought entirely on instinct, making him even worse than Belial was at the beginning.

Although he had not received systematic training, he had at least come from the world of knights.

Knights have limited strength, so the requirements for fighting ability are much higher than those for Ultraman.

"Two glasses of hot milk." Natsukawa called over the bartender and ordered them together with Asakura Riku's.

Children shouldn't drink alcohol.

"Hot milk? You actually ordered hot milk here?"

A burst of laughter and commotion erupted in the bar, and before the bartender could react, a group of thug-like aliens surrounded him.

It seems that it has been confirmed that Xia Chuan and the other two are innocent lambs who can be bullied.

"Looks like it really is a human, haha, they've got guts! Humans dare to come to a place like this!"

"We're just missing a few more Earthling specimens..."

"Ha ha!"

Xia Chuan glanced at the laughing aliens, and after confirming that they were all trash, he lightly tapped the bar table with his finger. With a burst of psychic energy, the thug aliens suddenly screamed and spontaneously combusted, and within seconds they were all engulfed by the flames and turned into piles of ashes.

Asakura Riku's eyes narrowed sharply.

He didn't even see how Xia Chuan made his move.

Looking back at Natsukawa, who calmly accepted the milk, Asakura Riku felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but swallow hard.

This is what you call "not a scary person"?

It feels like they only react like this because they've gotten used to killing. How many aliens would they have to kill?

"Aren't you going to drink it?" Natsukawa pushed a glass of milk in front of Asakura Riku.

I don't know what breed it is, but it tastes better than milk from Earth.

"oh oh!"

Asakura Riku sat upright, turning his gaze away from the ashes on the ground, and took a sip of hot milk.

The once lively bar suddenly became deathly silent; even the bartender's hand trembled slightly as he poured milk.

There are indeed no laws in the area, and fights are common, but it has never been this scary before.

A killing machine has arrived.

Xia Chuan ignored the reactions of the aliens around him and continued to extend his senses to cover the gathering area: "I need to find something. For the next few days, you will keep an eye on this place. If you're lucky, they might come looking for you."

The Kussia survivors arrived in Okinawa in ancient times and are probably observing from the shadows right now.

Making a little noise is also a way to attract the other person's attention.

"Huh?" Asakura Riku almost choked on his milk. "Me alone?"

Given what happened, those aliens are unlikely to dare to cause trouble for Xia Chuan, leaving him as the only remaining target for revenge.

"You came to Okinawa with me for special training, didn't you?" Natsukawa smiled. "Now's your chance."

"Huh? This is training?" Asakura Riku was starting to regret it. "That ability to start fires just now... can I learn it?"

"You can't learn it."

Xia Chuan patted Asakura Riku's back again and then instantly teleported away.

"We'll talk about it when you can transform without Ultra Capsules."
