Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 80 Dungeon Invasion

"quick!"

"The spatiotemporal anomaly is just ahead!"

Outside the shopping mall.

Several motorcycles stopped, and all the riders patrolling nearby came to their aid, including Natsukawa student Kenzaki Kazuma.

"Bang! Bang!"

Xia Chuan swung his sword and killed the last two demonic thugs who rushed into the mall, then looked outside past another "Extreme Fox" series knight.

I felt a slight tremor in my heart when I discovered the torn passageway in the center of the square.

Is this world connected to the instance space?

Looking back at the rose-wearing woman protecting Asami Hiroko and the others, Natsukawa walked out of the mall with his sword.

These demons seemed to come from the world on the other side of the passage, but fortunately, the spatial rift was healing itself, and no more demons appeared.

Xia Chuan's gaze swept over the numerous Kamen Riders around him who, with the help of the Ant Soldiers, were eliminating the evil foes.

The strength of the demonic followers fluctuates greatly. The ones that appeared this time were only level 2. Even with their large numbers and resurrection abilities, they still couldn't withstand the knights' repeated encirclement and suppression.

However, to his surprise, the knights reacted too quickly this time, so quickly that he was a little unaccustomed to it.

Moreover, besides the ordinary knights, there seems to be another knight on par with Fujiwara no Hajime.

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan slashed fiercely at a demonic disciple attacking from behind, his gaze falling on the Blade-type knights leisurely observing from behind the rest of the knights.

Kamen Rider Glaive (Long Blade).

Like Kondo Isami, he is a powerful Rider who transforms using the artificial awakening card "Cerberus". He is the Rider System used by the boss of the Blade movie.

Captain level?

"Who is that knight?"

Glaive noticed Natsukawa at the mall entrance, his gaze lingering briefly on the large number of demonic corpses inside the mall.

"Were there such outstanding riders last year?"

"It's Kamen Rider Penguin," explained a team member who noticed the headgear on Natsukawa's suit. "However, I don't remember Penguin being that strong. He's probably just a coward who bullies the weak. He tried to join us before but got rejected..."

"I'll ask him later," Glaive said, becoming increasingly interested. "If he really has become stronger, we'll give him a chance."

"Bang!"

With the last demonic creature eliminated, a group of researchers rushed to the almost completely closed spatial rift in the plaza to collect data.

"It's a temporary copy space, bound to the Desire Drive System..."

"Begin numerical measurement."

Xia Chuan stood silently not far behind the researchers, his penguin suit automatically detaching itself.

This was the first time he had ever seen a connection between this world and a copy space.

The invasion of spacetime has begun to come into the open.

"My Knight System!"

After overcoming his fear, the blond-haired man frantically pounced on Xia Chuan, shouting to reclaim the Desire Driver and then holding him tightly in his arms, his expression constantly shifting as he looked at Xia Chuan.

"Who are you? Why can you transform?! Wait, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before..."

Amidst the suspicion, the blond-haired man suddenly widened his eyes.

Two months ago, during a mission, a middle-aged man in a suit actually tried to fight Green Thorn using a human body, which became his topic of conversation afterwards...

"It's you?!"

What are you talking about? Can you tell me?

As Glaive walked, he deactivated his transformation, and a short-haired young man walked straight toward Natsukawa and his companion, smiling broadly with narrowed eyes and an exceptionally friendly expression.

"Who exactly is Kamen Rider Penguin?"

"Of course it's me!" The blond-haired man, clutching the desire-activator, backed away warily. "Don't even think about taking my things!"

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"

Hiroko Asami and her partner hurriedly squeezed into the middle, pulling Natsukawa behind them to explain.

"Captain Shimura, Kaminaga was only trying to save people..."

"Oh? You're Kaminari?"

The short-haired youth seemed completely unconcerned about the transformation, smiling as he extended his right hand.

"I've heard Kondo and Kenzaki mention you. Come to think of it, Kondo seems to have caused you some trouble. I'd like to apologize on his behalf."

"That's not true."

Xia Chuan gave the short-haired youth a deep look, shook hands politely, and said nothing more.

You can't hit a smiling face, but he always felt that this guy's smile was fake and that he was a dangerous person.

"I'm going back now. Contact me if anything comes up."

Xia Chuan nodded to Asami Hiroko and the others, and left the scene first under the smiling gaze of the short-haired youth.

"Kaminaga..."

Asami Hiroko hesitated, watching Natsukawa's retreating figure, her heart heavy.

Are we going to have to go back to using the shuttle again?

Her feelings toward Xia Chuan, her former teammate and partner in the Futo team, were quite complicated.

She had witnessed all of Xia Chuan's helplessness and pain over the past five years.

In her opinion, it was no coincidence that her former partner was chosen by Ultraman.

It now seems that her judgment was correct.

Putting aside the astonishing change in combat power after transforming into Kamen Rider Penguin, the fact that he can transform at all is a miracle.

The former partner just needed a chance, a chance to be a hero again.

The previous shuttle was meant to give Xia Chuan hope, but it didn't seem to go very well.

"There's no other way," Hiroko Asami said, rallying her spirits. "We're going to get a core ID for Kaminari no Kaminari no matter what, even if it costs us all our points!"

"Senior," Kazumi Takahashi weakly reminded her, "you yourself haven't become a knight yet."

"I see," the short-haired youth's eyes flickered, and his smile widened. "You've joined this knight selection? If you need any help, you can ask me."

"No, no need..."

Hiroko Asami smiled sullenly.

Having been an intelligence officer before, I always felt that Captain Shimura, who seemed like a nice guy, had ulterior motives.

It's better to minimize contact.

"Kazumi, Baluba, let's go back too."

"tutor……"

Behind the crowd.

Kenzaki Kazuma pulled out his Awakening Card and broke free of his transformation. He opened his mouth, his expression complex as he watched Natsukawa walk away.

After he started patrolling, he joined Captain Shimura's team and hadn't been back to school for a long time.

Three years after his parents were murdered, he vowed to eliminate all monsters.

He needs greater power, and only by following Captain Shimura can he become stronger.

The supervisor should be able to understand, right?

……

Knight School, villa dormitory.

After hanging the sign outside, Xia Chuan locked the door from the inside.

He was indeed preparing to use the shuttle again, but not in the way Hiroko Asami thought.

The motivation wasn't about transformation, but rather the sudden appearance of a spacetime rift that gave him a greater sense of urgency.

If the other side is indeed the "Extreme Fox" dungeon world, then he probably won't have much time left.

The knights of this world will eventually become powerful. If other dungeons and timelines also appear one after another, there will undoubtedly be a large number of knights competing with them for resources.

He couldn't afford to waste the rare opportunity to gain the upper hand.

"but……"

Thinking back on his previous experiences traveling through time, Xia Chuan frowned slightly.

The injuries sustained during the journey will be reflected on his body, meaning that if he dies in the instance world, he will also be in mortal danger.

The time he was in was arguably the most dangerous period for him.

Because apart from his physical condition, it seems he can't bring anything else with him.

There are too many factors that could threaten him in the Kamen Rider timeline, but he cannot determine which Kamen Rider timeline it is before he travels through it.

"Dragon Rider or...?"

Xia Chuan drew the curtains and gently pressed her fingers against the sash.

In any case, be careful.

It would be such a shame to die in the world of knights at this point.

"Whoosh!"

As the shuttle started, a sudden beam of light pulled Xia Chuan into his consciousness, and the dimensional scene before him changed drastically.

Not much different from the last time he traveled through time, Xia Chuan's body suddenly sank, and he regained his senses and appeared by a harbor lake.

"here it is……"

As Xia Chuan looked around at the desolate mountains in the cold wind, he suddenly looked up and saw a twisted black stone slab appear in the distant sky.

Sealed stone tablet?

A surge of unknown information flooded Xia Chuan's mind. Looking down, he noticed a dark silver undead creature belt covering his light-colored cloth robe.

Undead, an undead creature.

Kamen Rider Blade is the monster that appears in the series "Blade".

Ten thousand years ago in the modern timeline, 53 undead creatures engaged in a fierce battle of extremes under the supervision of the sealed stone tablet in order to ensure the continuation of their race.

In the end, the undead humans who somehow won became the ancestors of humankind, while the remaining 52 undead were sealed in cards by the sealing tablets until the modern timeline was unlocked.

"call!"

Xia Chuan looked again at the sealing stone tablet on the horizon.

He seems to have been drawn into the ultimate battle ten thousand years ago, perhaps as the progenitor of humankind.
