Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 8 Killing Game

"Kuuga!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Ancient mountainous region.

After eliminating another Gurongi, Xia Chuan stepped over the corpses scattered on the ground and entered the central area.

The scene was horrific; it was shocking to behold.

Although he killed many Gurongi along the way, most of them died from fighting among themselves.

Almost all the grunts and weaklings were eliminated.

Using the class division of the Gurongi race, the lowest-ranking soldiers belong to the Bei Group, while the spider monsters he eliminated belong to the second-to-last group, the Zi Group.

Above them are the Mei Group, with moderate combat power and various special abilities, and the Ge Group, a small but elite group of powerful individuals.

Above that is the La Group, to which Rose Girl belongs, and the En Group, to which the royal family belongs.

The person he just fought was the strongest in the Mei Group, with amazing defense and strength that had reached the level of the Ge Group. It took him quite a while to successfully defeat him.

Those who have survived to this day are basically all powerful members of the Gulangji clan, at least from the Ge Group level.

He must be extremely careful from now on; if he falls here, all the previous efforts will have been in vain.

Although the shuttle is not a disposable item, it still has a cooling-off period, and we don't know what the situation will be like in the future, which may be even more troublesome than this time.

"Oh? Kuuga? It's really interesting that you've made it this far."

A disheveled, strange-looking man appeared on the rocks, arms crossed, looking down at Xia Chuan with eager eyes.

"I'm really looking forward to it. I'll be waiting for you behind me. Give me some more surprises, and maybe you'll be able to unleash that power to its fullest potential."

"call!"

Xia Chuan tensed up, and by the time he came to his senses, the disheveled man had vanished without a trace.

"Daguba?"

The strongest Grongi, the King of the Grongi, Daguba, is destined to bring ultimate darkness.

Known as Number 0 in the future, after being unsealed, he revived all the other Grongi, started a killing game in modern society, and finally perished together with the grown-up Ultimate Kuuga at Kurogaku.

This guy's strength almost completely overwhelms all the other Gurongi, powerful enough to change the celestial phenomena.

Although he is not yet fully formed and not as exaggerated as he is in the future, his brief appearance still left him somewhat breathless.

Nowadays, he would have a hard time beating Daguba.

"It's necessary to change our strategy."

Xia Chuan stopped advancing.

He's not one of those fighting maniacs.

Fight your way through with your life on the line, and finally have a kingly showdown with Daguba?

He is not stupid.

What makes humans human is their intelligence.

Before entering the central area, he had already killed at least 10 Gurongi of the Zi level or above, each of which was more than Green Thorn of Danger Level 2, but his physique had not changed at all, indicating that he could not evolve through combat here. At most, he could gain some combat experience, which could be helpful, but it was obviously not enough to deal with Daguba.

As for the Void Self form.

For some reason, he only developed a few basic forms, including the current red all-around form, which are suitable for facing different types of enemies. There are no advanced forms, and the so-called ultimate form is nowhere to be seen.

"We must find an opportunity to deal with Daguba first, at least to prevent this guy from reaching his full potential."

Xia Chuan pondered and surveyed his surroundings. He could vaguely hear the sounds of battle coming from ahead. Judging from the noise, it was most likely a melee within the Ge Group.

Without venturing forward to investigate, Xia Chuan switched to his blue-cyan form, which boasts exceptional jumping ability and agility, and leaped into the nearby dense forest, concealing himself and avoiding the battle location.

The battle within the Ge Group won't end anytime soon, which gives him time to plan.

"Swish!"

As Xia Chuan stealthily made his way forward, the sounds of battle behind him grew fainter and fainter, and soon the surroundings became exceptionally quiet.

After leaving the dense forest, a cluster of caves and rock formations appeared before Xia Chuan.

This is the core area of ​​the killing game.

According to the game rules, as the game progresses, the surviving participants become stronger and stronger. In the final stage, they fight Daguba, and the victorious Gurongi will inherit all the power here, thus bringing about the ultimate darkness.

How can we resolve the Dagu conflict ahead of schedule?

Xia Chuan clenched his fists as he looked at the ruins-like building complex.

He couldn't let the game continue until the end, otherwise Daguba would be even more difficult to deal with then, but right now he couldn't defeat Daguba on his own.

Do those idiots in the Ge Group really think they can defeat Daguba by themselves in the end?

The rules of the game were flawed from the start.

In the knockout stage, the strongest player must be eliminated first.

But now it seems that everything is paving the way for Daguba's ultimate evolution.

The Ge Group and all the Gurongi below it were sacrifices.

"Bang--!"

A loud explosion came from deep within the central cave, waking Xia Chuan.

Without giving it much thought, Xia Chuan swiftly leaped down, disappearing into the cave at high speed with afterimages in his wake.

With his superhuman eyesight and hearing, Xia Chuan immediately mapped out the source of the sound in his mind. Using the rock wall as cover, Xia Chuan quietly explored the scene and immediately saw two figures of Gurongi engaged in fierce combat.

Two members of the Gurongi royal family, one was Pom-dabba, and the other was...

Xia Chuan looked at the wolf-shaped Gurongi fighting with Daguba with a puzzled expression.

Surprisingly, there was another Gurongi king who was on par with, and even slightly superior to, Pomtodabgu.

Could his guess be wrong?

Or perhaps it was actually this wolf-type Grongi that was sacrificed to the lower-level Grongi, and the unkempt Daguba was originally one of the sacrifices as well?

If that's the case, then it's interesting. Daguba actually bypassed the Ge Group's battle and arrived at the core area ahead of time, just like him, and even fought with the Wolf King there.

"Hahaha!"

Daguba seemed exceptionally happy during the battle, his laughter clear. Even as his body was cracked and splintered, he did not back down, but instead attacked even more vigorously.

It was as if they were simply enjoying the battle.

"Click-clack!"

"Ugh!!"

Wolf King Gurongi was caught off guard and had his abdominal belt shattered by Daguba's heavy punch. Although he retaliated and severely injured Daguba, he did not expect Daguba to become even more excited. Out of fear, he was completely pierced through the body by Daguba.

"Damn it, you'll never get ultimate darkness!"

"Ultimate darkness?" Pompom-headed Daguba laughed as he watched the Wolf King Gurongi gradually turn into black mist. "Absolutely no interest. All I want to do right now is fight to my heart's content..."

"sharp."

Xia Chuan stepped out of the bunker, casually transforming a tree branch into his own blue "Azure Dragon Staff," and looked at Pengtou Daguba with a hint of admiration.

He's a born warrior.

Unlike him, who fights only to survive.

Of course, while he admired him, he wouldn't let such a rare opportunity slip by.

He was also a participant in this game, and even in his basic form, he was still formidable after being strengthened, enough to deal with Daguba in his current crippled state.

"Kuuga?"

Pompom Daguba was clearly taken aback.

"The game is already over? But your power..."

"Whoosh!"

Without wasting words, Xia Chuan suddenly moved forward at high speed, thrusting his Azure Dragon Staff straight into the abdomen of the disheveled Daguba, and then quickly pushed Daguba into the rock wall.

drink!

"Sizzle!"

A huge seal appeared on the abdomen of the pufferfish Daguba. Before Daguba could retaliate, the belt that served as the nerve center of the Gurongi exploded with a loud bang.

"Bang--!"

I'm sorry.

Watching the disheveled Daguba disappear into black mist in resentment, Xia Chuan put away the Azure Dragon Staff, and his figure broke free from the transformation and revealed human form with a full-force burst.

Better safe than sorry. Even though he was confident of defeating Daguba, he still gave it his all.

This can be considered a sign of respect for Daguba.

"call!"

As Xia Chuan slowly exhaled, he suddenly felt a new power surging from his waist belt.

He possesses a regal aura similar to that of Daguba.

It's been enhanced again, and this time it's an epic enhancement.

With this power, even if he can't transform into Ultimate Kuuga, other Grongi pose no threat to him.

"It's time to end this."

Xia Chuan took one last look at the rocky cave where the two kings were buried, then turned back into red Kuuga and left.

Let's deal with the remaining Gurongi all at once.

Anyway, he doesn't need to perform any sacrificial rituals, so he should just finish this quickly and go home.

……

"Kuuga—!"

"Boom!"

Nagano Prefecture, Central Alps.

At night, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out at the excavation site of the Jiulangyue ruins. A huge pillar of light connecting heaven and earth illuminated the sky, and then the entire mountain range was covered by lightning.

In the scorched forest, Pompom Dagu walked out of the valley on lightning, with strange human arms emerging from the rain-soaked ground along the way.

"Rise again!"
