Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 728 Bathhouse War God

A new day has begun.

Okinawa still looks like it's been through a post-apocalyptic world, but the cities are gradually starting to come alive again, interrupted religious ceremonies are restarting, and the long, drawn-out sound of drums can be heard from time to time.

The area most affected was the food street, an alien enclave, which almost completely deserted after learning that Asakura Riku was Geed.

The outlying gang strongholds were deserted, leaving only remnants of their respective planetary characteristics.

However, the groups that are usually bullied have actually started to have better days.

When Xia Chuan returned, some waitresses with their tails wagging boldly peered out from the roadside, looking rather silly like deer, showing no fear of his arrival.

Few people know that he was the "God of Slaughter" who became a legend a few days ago.

"They're right ahead!"

Toba Raiyo, who was following Natsukawa, seemed to dislike the long legs of these alien women. She quickened her pace and led Natsukawa to a bathhouse in a corner.

Why did you have to meet at the bathhouse?

Toba Laiye frowned, not quite understanding.

After the King of Ultra went into hiding, she had nowhere to go, so she chose to follow Xia Chuan.

Belial was killed by Geed, and Fukuide Kei also perished, turning into countless green specks of light. After the confusion brought by the disappearance of hatred, she hoped to understand the will of the King of Ultra within her body through Natsukawa.

Now, at Xia Chuan's request, a group of men have been gathered.

"Is the crisis really not over yet?" Toba Raiyo stopped outside the bathhouse and asked疑惑地问道, "Belial is dead, what else could there be?"

"Gilbaris is coming."

Higa Airu appeared on the street dressed in Kussia attire, exuding a gorgeous yet mysterious aura, with a melancholic yet hopeful air.

"So that's how it was? You anticipated that the appearance of Red Steel would attract Gilbaris? Was the reason you had Geed deal with Belial to avoid scaring Gilbaris away?"

In her view, Belial may be powerful, but he is ultimately just a minor character compared to the old monsters.

Natsukawa glanced at her slightly. Even though he didn't usually pay much attention, he was still amazed by Higa Airu's outfit. However, the woman's words left him speechless.

He didn't think too much about it.

I hadn't originally planned to fight Gilbaris.

"Gilbaris?" Toba Raiyo raised an eyebrow. "Is he even more difficult to deal with than Belial?"

Because she had dealt with Fukuide Kei before, she was somewhat irritated by the name "Belial".

Fukuide K's complete set of storybooks for "That Person" is almost entirely adapted from the legend of Belial.

To say nothing of the distant past, the Impaler Crisis destroyed the entire universe, and even the legendary Ultra Warriors were wiped out.

"How so?" Higa Airu asked, her expression troubled. "It's probably a different type of difficulty, right? Gilbaris itself is just a computer, but the problem is that it possesses the advanced technology of countless civilizations from Kucia and even the multiverse."

There is only one Belial, but Gilbaris can create countless robots comparable to Belial… Do you understand? Most importantly, its true form is virtually indestructible by normal methods.

"I don't understand." Toba Raiyo said blankly.

That sounds really impressive.

But is it really possible for there to be countless versions of Belial? It's hard to imagine.

"Go wait for me at the bar." Natsukawa coughed lightly, interrupting Toba Raiyo's short-circuited thoughts.

Higa Airu's statement is somewhat exaggerated; if it weren't for Geed, Belial would have been just as difficult to kill.

According to the information in the database, before becoming the complete form, Gilbaris had escaped from the Land of Light's sieges many times. His base was the planet Kusia, which had become a virtual planet. He could travel and hide freely in the universe. He usually sent out a large number of mechanical monsters of A+ to S class to kill intelligent life forms.

The Civilization Arbiter, resembling a silver dragon, the noble and magnificent Galactron, operates in countless universes, including the world of Orb.

Xia Chuan mentally reviewed the data recorded by Gilbaris and Galatlon.

Judging from its performance, the strongest version of Galactron MK reached SS rank, and it was even a boss-level character.

However, it's not easy to judge the combat power level in the Ultraman universe, especially for technologically advanced characters like these.

As for Gilbaris behind the scenes, its physical form is merely a spherical computer core, extremely fragile and easily destroyed, but it continuously strengthens its defenses during periods of cosmic activity.

From the white, tower-shaped armor generated by high-dimensional proliferation matter, to the fully-equipped armor with various weapons, and even the final attack mode... it has definitely reached SS+.

It seems that because he was frequently besieged by the Land of Light in the early days, this guy designed armor that completely countered the Ultra Warriors, and his defense against beam attacks was extremely abnormal.

This is what makes Gilbaris truly difficult to deal with.

If he had just arrived at Geed World, he would probably have had a real headache.

But things are alright now.

He even hoped that Gilbaris would appear soon.

The existence of these multi-dimensional bosses will inevitably accelerate the realization of new-generation dungeon groups.

And soon he will travel to the Gaussian universe, where there is an equally terrifying civilization's will—Delacion.

This is equivalent to accumulating experience in dealing with this type of life form.

"Oh, right," Higa Airu suddenly called out to Natsukawa, "that Ishikari Ari has already woken up in the hospital, and she wants to see you."

Xia Chuan paused slightly.

Although he wasn't a heartless person, Ishigari Arii wasn't very important to him; their relationship was only slightly better than that of strangers.

Now that Beria is gone, there is no need for further interaction.

He was ultimately not a person of this world.

"Please look after her for me. Sometimes being too curious isn't a good thing."

Xia Chuan shook his head and walked into the bathhouse.

He could guess what Ishikari Arii was thinking.

This woman is the kind of person who's obsessed with writing books; she definitely won't learn her lesson.

I just don't know if they retained any memories from the time Belial possessed them.

"Comfortable."

Steam rose from the bathhouse tub, and a relaxed sigh escaped just before Xia Chuan stepped in to change his clothes.

"Right?" Hong Kai closed his eyes and leaned against the pool like a saint, his whole body limp as if he had no bones.

In the bath behind, Jugglus smirked in disdain, then raised an eyebrow when he noticed Natsukawa.

Natsukawa's gaze passed over the two and landed on Iga Kurinari, who looked completely absorbed in the moment.

His demeanor had completely changed. He was no longer the timid, submissive office worker who was a good husband and father at home. Even when he was relaxed, there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

The office worker has switched to a wild and unruly demeanor.

Ultraman Zero, the super rookie king of the Land of Light, and the protagonist of the transition from the old era to the new era?

"Buzz!"

The ultimate bracelet on Xia Chuan's wrist shimmered slightly in response.

This guy is also a legend. He almost single-handedly created the era of the multidimensional universe, and the explosive increase in level also started with him.

He saved the Land of Light by using Belial as a backdrop from his debut. After receiving Noah's power-up, he became active in various universes and even formed the Ultimate Zero Guard outside of the Land of Light's Ultra Guard.

The darling of Tsuburaya Productions.

His strength fluctuated greatly, from A+ to SS+.

"You're here?"

Zero opened his eyes in surprise, turned his head and saw that it was Xia Chuan before he breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him with a smile.

"It's you, the Ultraman from the future that the old man was talking about, Ultraman Lipia."

"So you've been resurrected now?"

Xia Chuan remained seated as she fell into the pool, the splashing water causing Jugglus Juggler to frown repeatedly.

Unlike before, Jugglus Juggler has now fully recovered his strength, and his demeanor and imposing presence have returned.

I feel like Natsukawa isn't so scary after all.

"We can still only rely on physical activity, but thanks to you, at least we're alive, and where there's life, there's hope."

Zero chuckled, his weariness mixed with a carefree attitude. He didn't seem distant at all from Xia Chuan, acting like an old friend as soon as they met.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the Ultimate Bracelet on Xia Chuan's left wrist: "If there's a chance in the future, I'll teach you how to unleash the power of the Ultimate Bracelet. After all, I'm a senior, and there's a lot I can teach you..."

Jugglus Juggler, growing impatient, took advantage of a lull in Zero's speech to turn back with an exaggeratedly smirk and a friendly smile: "Let's get to know each other again, Jugglus Juggler. You'd like to have a friendly spar with me sometime."

After transforming, he was no match for him.

However, the only one whose human form can rival him is Kai... As for newcomers, their human forms are all trash.

This is a good opportunity to showcase my Serpent Heart Style swordsmanship; maybe I can even take on another apprentice.

Ever since the death of his last apprentice became a source of deep regret, he hadn't considered taking on any new apprentices for a long time.
