Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 766 Extra 3 "Torija", Ultraman Passing By

New generation of dungeon groups.

The timeline of "Trica".

A golden fragment pierced through space, suddenly expanded before entering Earth's atmosphere, and finally roared into the Pacific Ocean, where it transformed into a strange metal wreathed in terrifying golden lightning on the seabed.

"I'm alive?"

Tartarus's fearful consciousness spread, and it took a while for him to calm down.

The king's power saved him.

But to be able to beat him to this extent, that Ultra God is probably not much different from their King Absolut.

It's somewhat good news.

Lypia is strong, but not as strong as Absolut couldn't handle.

The energy core of the Land of Light is ultimately no match for Absolut.

However, it would be best to recover your strength now and return to the kingdom as soon as possible.

As for the Land of Light... we can only plan for the long term and make other arrangements.

"Gurgle!"

A series of bubbles rose from the dark seabed.

A short while later, an unconventional transport spacecraft hovered on the sea surface with a pale blue flame, and several submarine devices fell out one after another through the opening of the belly hatch.

"Be careful, it should land in this area."

"Such a powerful energy response."

"How's the situation?" A middle-aged man with gray hair contacted Ryuichi Tokioka, who was working on the front lines.

The middle-aged man's name is Shizuma Mitsukuni. Many years ago, he suddenly traveled from the world of "Ultraman Tiga" to this parallel world. After realizing that he could not go back, he started the Shizuma Foundation from scratch.

However, the archaeological team under its command recently unearthed an ancient stone slab that records the deeds of the Giant of Light and the Dark Giant from 30 million years ago, and predicts that the Dark Giant will be resurrected in modern times.

Considering the sudden surge in monster activity, and given that he himself came from a world plagued by monsters, Mitsukuni Shizuma prepared by stockpiling technology and, in conjunction with various governments, planned to establish TPU and the Elite Victory Team.

As an expert in the study of ancient civilizations, Ryuichi Tokioka is currently a capable assistant to Mitsukuni Shizuma. This time, he has found the ancient artifact recorded on the stone tablet—an ancient bronze light rod that can turn into light.

However, an unexpected incident occurred on the way back.

"It seems to have nothing to do with the ancient civilization," a handsome man in white inside the spaceship replied with a smile, his eyes gleaming with an unusual aquamarine light. "I'll take it back as soon as it's recovered. We've already explored the ruins pretty much."

Human civilization draws inspiration from the universe, even in the ancient times 30 million years ago.

After hanging up the call, the man in white's smile widened and became even more sinister.

"The power beyond light? I've waited 30 million years, finally witnessing the resurgence of the Dark Giants, and I never expected to gain such an unexpected reward."

"Perhaps I don't need to wait any longer. If I can obtain this power, I can destroy the Dark Giant even without Triga..."

"Whoosh!"

A golden light suddenly emerged from the water, and the phantom of a golden giant flew into the white-robed man's brow as his smile froze.

"You want power?"

Tartarus instantly read all the memories of the young man in white.

An ancient human who has been asleep for 30 million years, a scientist in the Earth Defense Force, the developer of the Bronze Spark Lens, disguises himself to get close to a large conglomerate, preparing to use Ultraman Triga's power to destroy the Dark Giant and finally obtain the power of light...

"That's interesting."

Tortalos showed no sign of the near-death experience, looking down at the white-clad youth as if he were a supreme god.

It's not just this human being; the world itself is quite interesting.

Based on the memories and sensory information retrieved, this Earth contains a powerful energy body called the Eternal Core, which can serve as a backup alternative to the Light Kingdom's core.

Although it's not very stable, it has great development value, and we can make do with it if all else fails.

It can even help him regain his strength now.

The ray of light from Lypia did not simply obliterate him, but rather carried a strange reset and zeroing property, rendering many of the Absolut clan's life-saving methods ineffective.

As the strongest warrior of the Absolut race, the ultimate life form, he had never been this weak.

"Who...who are you?" The young man in white asked, his eyes flashing with terror, a sudden wave of regret washing over him.

Why did he have to be greedy and come over when he could have just followed the plan?

"Who you are doesn't matter. What matters is that I can give you power, power far beyond your imagination," Tartarus whispered seductively.

Humans are just humans, they really don't know how to be respectable.

If he didn't want to waste time, he would have preferred to cooperate with the three dark giants.

Well, it's not entirely useless. To open the gate to the Eternal Core, we still need the help of these ancient humans.

"call!"

The golden light on the sea surface briefly contracted, and the blue pupils of the white-clad youth turned golden as well.

……

one year later.

Xia Chuan's human form floated and flickered above the sea, revealing the time when Tartarus first entered the "Trija" instance.

The timeline was out of order; even though he launched the pursuit immediately, a year had passed.

Fortunately, Tartarus has not left yet.

"This world..."

Xia Chuan's god-like perception instantly covered the entire globe.

With the old Divine Mirror gone, his current Divine Mirror only controls the world instance groups he resurrected; he still needs to actively handle and clean up the others.

Father of Ultra arranged a corresponding rescue mission, but the timeline of "Toriga" is later, belonging to the future for the current Ultras of the Land of Light.

Once the Ultraman universe's time anchor point is locked, only those with time travel abilities can enter; otherwise, they can only wait for the future timeline.

No one has come to liberate this place yet.

Xia Chuan thought back to the first time he returned to his original world, when the Mefilas aliens manifested the Dark Three Giants from "Triga".

I wonder if any new alliance members were trapped here at the time.

"what?"

A lot of information was reflected in Natsukawa's divine perception.

The Mefilas aliens apparently left a contingency plan in this world, seemingly gaining a second life at the cost of being assimilated by a copy.

If he hadn't been searching for Tartarus, he probably wouldn't have even noticed this place.

The Ultra Warriors sent to liberate the instance won't be able to pay much attention to it.

Normally, the Mefilas aliens could live here forever, and might even find an opportunity to leave in the future and enter the grand stage of the universe as Mefilas aliens from the Ultra Universe.

This sixth brother.

"Clang!"

The alien Mefilas, who was having a drink at the izakaya, froze, his glass falling to the ground without him reacting for a long time, his face showing a rather human-like fear.

Damn it, I could actually feel Lipia's spying gaze, the kind that made no attempt to hide it.

Given his understanding and research on Lipia, he shouldn't have continued the investigation.

What grudge or hatred could there be?

Killing him once wasn't enough; why go to all this trouble to search everywhere?

"It's over..."

"call!"

A gentle psychic wave swept across the tavern, but instead of dealing with the Mefilas aliens, it switched its focus to the Dark Three Giants on the other side.

The instance appears to have been reset and, due to Tartarus's involvement, has taken a bizarre turn, deviating significantly from the original storyline.

The eternal core that runs through the storyline has been successfully activated.

Tartarus seemed to want to use the power within to leave the instance; any later and he would have made a wasted trip.

……

"Is this the end?"

Outside the tower of the ancient ruins, Shizuka Mitsukuni lay stiffly on the ground. His no-longer-young body was gradually becoming unable to bear the burden. He could only look painfully at his unconscious daughter and the golden energy channel leading to the Eternal Core.

He united countries around the world to form TPU not just to save the world, but mainly to protect his daughter, who is the descendant of Yu Lian, the leader of the ancient Earth Guard Corps.

Unfortunately, I never expected that my capable assistant, Ryuichi Tokioka, was also an ancient human, and that he had ulterior motives for approaching me from the beginning.

"Tokioka, what exactly do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?"

As Ryuichi Tokioka was about to walk towards the ruins tower, he suddenly stopped. His eyes flashed blue and gold alternately. He struggled in pain, clutching his head, and his memory returned to a year before he met Tartarus.

"No... Damn it, you said you'd help me fight the Dark Giant, that you'd let me surpass the light!"

"I did promise," Ryuichi Tokioka's golden eyes returned as if he had suffered a split personality, and he still maintained his aloof demeanor, "but first, let me return to the kingdom..."

"Can I come with you?"

Xia Chuan's figure flickered and appeared like a phantom. "Tokioka Ryuichi," who was about to step into the golden passage, suddenly changed his expression and turned back in disbelief.

"How did you get here?!" Tokioka Ryuichi turned around and tried to rush into the passage, but he was too late. His fingers were frozen in place as soon as they touched the golden light.

Time stops!

After a year of peace, he thought the Land of Light was unaware that he was still alive.

"stop!"

Tartarus sensed a death crisis far greater than the previous beam of light.

Unfortunately, his proud ability to interfere with the timeline was now completely useless; even his thinking had become sluggish, making it impossible for him to fight against this time-stopping force.

"That lord will not let you get away with this..."

"Bang--!"

Time has returned to normal.

Shizuka Mitsukuni and three nearby dark giants were slightly dazed. In a moment of distraction, they saw the ancient ruins tower explode, and the eternal ruins completely disappeared.

"You bastard..."

Carmilla glared at the ground, grabbed a dark energy bullet, and then froze on the spot when she saw Xia Chuan's Tartarus card condensing on the ground, unable to make any further moves.

"What's wrong, Carmilla?" The two dark warriors beside her were puzzled and looked at the ground, their figures also as still as stone statues.

"What, why is this guy here too?"

"Pretend you don't know him, run!"

"We didn't even know him... We can't move!"

Shizuma Mitsukuni noticed the three dark giants who seemed to be frozen in place, and nervously turned to Natsukawa with a question in his mind: "You are...?"

Although Xia Chuan did not transform, he had a strong sense of déjà vu in his eyes.

I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.

It seems to be the person he's been searching for...

Xia Chuan did remember Shizuma Mitsukuni. He had seen the younger version of Shizuma Mitsukuni when he possessed Shinjo in the Ultraman Tiga world. Shizuma Mitsukuni was still a TPC intelligence member.

"You are..." Shizuma Mitsukuni's pupils dilated and contracted, finally confirming the source of the sense of familiarity.

Not this world, but the hometown he longed for.

Decades later, he unexpectedly met Ultraman from his hometown.

"You are Ultraman Lipia!"

"call!"

Xia Chuan's figure faded with the wind, and he nodded, taking Tartaroska away from "Treiga".

As for the three Dark Giants, he temporarily sealed their powers and left them to be dealt with by the protagonist of this world.

He understood King Ao somewhat; once one's level was too high, not everything was suitable for intervention.

Every world has its own rules of operation.

A safety net is the best option.

Of course, he wouldn't leave the Absolut clan to the Land of Light.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan pinched the Tartarus card between his fingers, locked onto the Kingdom of Absolut, and then mobilized the power of the Divine Mirror to intervene and enlarge it.

The first thing I sensed was an energy core that was many times greater than that of the Land of Light.

While granting power to the Absolut clan, it also brought with it an extremely powerful core that threatened to destroy them.

No wonder Tartarus sought out the Land of Light.

……

"What's wrong with Tartarus? Shouldn't he be back by now?"

Inside the kingdom, a giant warrior, as strong as a bull, wandered aimlessly, complaining in a muffled, cold voice.

Unlike the land of fluorescent green light, Absolut is a land of pure gold.

The core light was incredibly powerful, but also extremely unbalanced, to the point that it could be destroyed at any moment.

Many powerful figures from the kingdoms were sent out to search for the second kingdom, and Taurus was quite angry that he was left behind.

When will the king wake up next?

"It should be soon... Wait, what's that?"

"Intruders?!"

The other Absolut warriors all looked up at the enormous giant hand that had appeared out of nowhere from the planet.

The entire kingdom was grasped as if it were a toy marble, and as soon as Taurus and his companions took flight in shock and anger, they all melted and disappeared.

Amidst the core light anticipated by all warriors, a roar of resentment from a king resounded, only to be instantly swallowed up by the terrifying destructive impact, like a dud popped into a sealed can, ultimately failing to make any noise.

Absolut's homeworld, destroyed!
