Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 727 The Ultimate Path

"Currently, the battle against the Titans in Okinawa seems to have come to an end, with Geed defeating Belial..."

Cheers that resounded throughout the world spread enthusiastically as the dimensional rift contracted.

As the dark clouds dispersed, only the red-lit Geed d'Erde slowly landed back on the ground on the Okinawa battlefield. After the fierce battle, its chest heaving, it looked around and felt for the first time the way people looked at a hero.

"I did it!"

The long-standing repression of being misunderstood and hostile brought tears to Asakura Riku's eyes. He clenched his fist tightly and then subconsciously wanted to share his joy with Natsukawa, but after searching around, he couldn't find Natsukawa anywhere.

"Lypia?"

"Lypia—!"

Xia Chuan returned to the devastated shore amidst the azure reflection of the sea, the curses and shouts of the Reiblood aliens still seemingly echoing in his ears.

After a brief buzzing sound, the red and black light faded, and the card surface was completely renewed, with no trace of its previous damage.

Moreover, its aura is much stronger than before, and it seems to be transforming into SS+.

This world differs from the Ultraman universe in that it is dominated by technology, and a real battle could easily turn into a war against an entire civilization.

He wasn't sure what level the Star of Light and Emperor Empera were as a whole, but with an SS+ trump card, he shouldn't have much trouble protecting himself.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan lightly pinched the Lucifer card with his fingers, and a large number of fragmented memories flashed through his mind.

Although the Reiblood aliens have little prestige in the new generation and have almost completely disappeared, with their only appearance seemingly being a parallel universe counterpart, they were indeed once quite prominent.

The first to be known throughout the universe as the ultimate life form, possibly even older than the King of Ultra, having ruled the Ultra Universe for tens of thousands of years, with many ultimate bosses being descendants of Reiblood.

Its peak strength is terrifying even in the new generation, so much so that many villains now like to call themselves the ultimate life form.

Unfortunately, all of that is in the past. Now, with the passage of time, what remains of Belial is perhaps just the last remnant of his soul.

"The ultimate life form?"

Xia Chuan put away the Lucifer card and sorted out the information.

SS+ should be the level of ultimate life forms. However, like A+, this level has an amazing range. No matter how strong a powerful being in the universe is, if they fail to advance to SSS, they belong to SS+.

With data on the Reiblood aliens as a reference, coupled with his own divine attributes, he seems to be able to call himself the ultimate life form.

In any case, his evolutionary path was certainly much smoother than that of other life forms.

Moreover, it wasn't just him; there were knights from all over the world helping him level up. Little by little, it gradually became an undeniable boost.

It is foreseeable that once the new generation of dungeons is fully formed, the knights' levels will experience another surge.

SS+ is no obstacle; it seems he can now start thinking about advancing to SSS.

Reibrando's failure was also a lesson, and it served as a warning to him.

Strength is not the key to advancement. Even someone with Reiblood's strong mental power has reached this point, and can only be ridiculed by future generations.

His divine attributes may not necessarily guarantee absolute safety.

It would be best to refer to the existing SSS-level life forms.

Noah has already made contact with it and gained the path of "bonds" and "inheritance". He has evolved through multiple human bodies and is now doing something similar in a certain way.

In addition, there are Ultraman King and Legend from the Cosmos Universe; it's unclear whether either of them is SSS-class.

"call!"

Xia Chuan's hair fluttered in the wind.

The surrounding area is littered with the rubble of collapsed buildings, and the once beautiful and charming Okinawa is now a scene of devastation, with black smoke rising from the distant city.

If placed in another instance, he should now be able to consume power to help repair it.

However, we do not currently have the necessary permissions.

Is it because of the unique dungeon clusters of the new generation, or because of the artificial intelligence Gilbaris?

Xia Chuan looked up at the clear sky unique to the island.

Gilbaris, the artificial intelligence created by the Cusians, seems to be the ultimate boss of this universe.

Geed used Red Steel, so he should come to Earth, right?

"rustle!"

Just as Xia Chuan was pondering, footsteps came from among the nearby building ruins.

With her long sword on her back, Toba Raiyo stepped onto the damp, soft sand, following her senses as she made her way there. When she saw Natsukawa, her eyes lit up.

"It really was you!"

Recognizing that Natsukawa was the person she had brushed past at the information shop, Toba Raiyo became excited.

"Finally found it!"

Xia Chuan turned to face the girl who was staring straight at him. Before he could say anything, he sensed a blurry phantom, in which he could vaguely make out the outline of the King of Ultra.

"I sent her to find you," the authoritative voice echoed in the surrounding space, "and this is the only way I can appear right now."

"The King of Ultra?"

Xia Chuan's gaze sharpened slightly as he noticed that the girl opposite him had a brief moment of confusion in her eyes before it became incredibly deep and world-weary.

I feel a little out of place.

First Belial, then the King of Ultra, both appeared before him as women.

However, he was just thinking about making contact with the King of Ultra, and now the opportunity has come.

It doesn't look like it's SSS, but it's hard to say.

This old man is very special. You could say he's mysterious, or you could say he's not. He also acts very strangely, sometimes taking action and sometimes not.

I really can't see through it.

"Don't overthink it," the King of Ultra said softly, thinking that Xia Chuan was wary. "Right now, I am just a will that has perished, no longer existing like the Land of Light. But... because of your existence, we have a chance to return."

"You know the truth?" Xia Chuan was slightly startled.

The King of Ultra is the first dungeon character to clearly realize the destruction of the past.

"So what if I know?"

The King of Ultra sighed softly, raised his hand and grabbed a golden ball of light, his will and majesty bursting forth as he channeled his power into Xia Chuan's ultimate bracelet on his left hand.

A ray of light seemed to illuminate the entire dungeon world in an instant.

The ultimate bracelet, having received its energy replenishment, has broken free from its dormant state and is fully revitalized in this era.

"That's all I can do," the King of Ultra said, his eyes dimming. "Just like Geed destroyed Belial, only you can truly defeat that destructive power. I hope you can save the Land of Light, save the Ultra Universe, Ultraman Lipia."

As the waves rose and fell, the voice of the King of Ultra gradually faded and disappeared, and soon only Toba Raiyo stared wide-eyed at him curiously.

"What did he say to you? And who is he...?"

"King of Ultra"

Xia Chuan raised his hand to examine the ultimate bracelet and could feel the powerful energy filling it.

Same specifications as Noah.

This old man is indeed SSS-level.

Even an SSS-level being couldn't escape its fate of destruction, and the last vestiges of hope in his subconscious were completely shattered.

Can the Ultraman universe really be saved?

And this world...

The pressure is a bit much.

The dominant power over there, the Star of Light, only wanted to blockade and isolate itself, and from beginning to end only sent two observers, one of whom was still plotting to control the Divine Mirror.

Not only could they not help him, they were also his enemies.
