I'm really just human

The ruined battlefield fell strangely silent. The resisting crowd looked towards the source of the explosion in confusion while dodging the impact. A young man in loose linen clothes could be vaguely seen walking out of the flames in the smoke and dust.

Enter the world of Oz.

Xia Chuan's gaze gradually became focused, and the scene of ruins came clearly into his eyes.

Crying refugees, blood-stained wreckage, numb and desperate eyes...

It’s the familiar doomsday background again.

In response to Hino Eiji's last wish, his consciousness descended into the body of the dying protagonist, but he could no longer transform into Oz and was in an initial blank state.

"Eiji?"

Danqi coughed and raised his head with an expression of disbelief.

"What happened? At that time, Oz was clearly..."

"You're still alive? Then I'll kill you!"

The Insect Greedy got up angrily, raised the sharp claws in his hand again, and crossed the dust at high speed with a trail of lightning.

"There is only one Oz in this world, and that is our king!"

"boom!"

Xia Chuan dodged the light blade brought by the claws, feeling the large amount of electrical energy gathered around him, and quickly spread his fingers, using telekinesis waves to blast away the approaching Insect Greedy.

Amazing.

Although this body cannot transform, it can perfectly adapt to his superpowers.

There should be no need for the main body to descend for the time being.

"what?"

The greedy insects were thrown backwards into the bricks and stones, violently blowing away everything around them.

"What the hell is wrong with you? You can't transform anymore..."

"call!"

Xia Chuan didn't say anything. He raised his arm and created a sealing barrier. He grabbed hard through the exploding flames. The Greedy Insect froze in shock and anger. It spread its arms and legs in a big letter while screaming in the burst of electricity. It was tied up and confined in mid-air like a real insect.

"asshole--!"

Chapter 307 Hino Eiji

2023-10-07

"Crash!"

Silver coins flew all over the sky after being struck by lightning. The Greedy Insect watched its body continue to collapse in anger, and its struggle became more and more intense.

Just when the sealing barrier was about to disappear, Danqi, who had originally lost his fighting ability, suddenly transformed and rushed over, using his last bit of strength to deliver a fatal blow.

"go to hell!"

"Stop! You can't kill me!"

Ordinary coins that make up the Greedy Man's body like cells are constantly scattered, and even the insect-type green core coins are clearly revealed. Resentment and fear instantly invade the Greedy Man's will.

"If I am destroyed, the king will never let you go..."

"boom--!"

The angry shouts in the ruins came to an abrupt end, and the lust-eating monster that was wreaking havoc everywhere also exploded with silver coins all over the ground, and the whole area was filled with the crisp sound of coins colliding.

Xia Chuan glanced at Danqi who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, and reached out to grab the two green core coins.

The Greedy One needs core coins plus ordinary coins as cells to maintain its form.

The complete form has 9 core coins, 3 each for the head, body, and feet.

The Insect Greedy just now should have at least 3.

Because there is another one that houses the greedy person's consciousness.

Xia Chuan held two core coins in his hands and turned to look around at the silver coins that had exploded all over the ground.

The remaining host consciousness seemed to have cut off its tail and ran away to survive.

"Kimijima!"

The survivors tried to move closer to the scene. The protagonists observed Xia Chuan while going forward to help up Dan Qi, who was exhausted and powerless.

"Is it really Hino?"

"Eiji?"

"How could it be that guy?" A crew-cut man in the crowd swallowed his saliva and nervously grabbed his companions who were trying to pick up Xia Chuan. "Didn't you see it just now? That's not something Huo Ye can do!"

"But……"

"I am just borrowing Hino Eiji's body temporarily."

Xia Chuan put away the core coin and took the initiative to walk towards the survivor.

"Have you ever seen a locust-type Kamen Rider before? I need to find him."

"Locusts?" The young man on the cavalry looked surprised after recovering from the shock. "Are you talking about Mr. RX Minami Kotaro? Wait, you mean you and Mr. Kotaro..."

"Minami Kotaro and I are from the same place."

Xia Chuan looked at the young man who was so excited that he was choking with sobs, and a string of information suddenly emerged in his mind.

Maya Kimijima mysteriously disappeared while conducting a shuttle test in this world several years ago...

It turned out that the Bound Birth Knight had entered the Oz world, and seemed to have been trapped here because of level 5.

So, this guy started at level 5?

The starting point is the end point for most people, but how did they end up like this?

He looked no different from a scavenger, and was even almost stepped on to death by the Insect Greedy.

“That’s great!”

The young man wiped his tears, broke away from the protagonists and threw himself beside Xia Chuan.

"I have met Mr. Kotaro. At that time, he was being chased by Ancient Oz and another Kamen Rider. In the end, he was turned into a card..."

The young man's voice became lower and lower, and his excitement suddenly decreased, as if a bucket of cold water was poured on his head.

"Yes, Mr. Kotaro has been turned into a jam. Even if you come to rescue, what's the use? You can't get out at all. In the end, not only can't you save anyone, but you will be trapped in the dungeon like me."

"It turned into a card?"

Xia Chuan pretended not to hear the young man's muttering, and all his thoughts were focused on the news about Minami Kotaro.

As for the card, it seems to be talking about decade.

"that……"

The heroine Izumi Hina, wearing a light-colored sweater, was anxious to squeeze out of the crowd.

"Is it better to leave here first? Those guys will come back who knows when..."

"That's true," the young man's expression tensed, and he hurriedly told everyone to prepare to evacuate, "Hurry up! If that greedy person escapes, he will definitely inform Ancient Oz!"

The young man then turned to Xia Chuan and said hesitantly, "Do you want to come with us? It will at least take care of you."

"I don't have any problem."

Xia Chuan glanced at the surviving soldiers who were quickly collecting silver coins on the ground, and saw quite a few weapons and equipment that used the coin system.

The situation here is not as bad as it seems on the surface, and there are still managers behind it.

"The reason why we have been able to hold on until now is because of the Hongshang Foundation," the young man explained. "The Foundation developed the coin system and used the power of O coins to fight against the greedy. My birth system also comes from the Foundation."

"I can tell."

Xia Chuan bent down and picked up a silver coin.

"I'll be staying for a while, can this be considered payment?"

"Uh, sure."

The young man opened his mouth and stared at Xia Chuan's back and couldn't help asking.

"What on earth is that power? There's no transformation... Sorry, I'm just a little curious. Logically, only that ancient Oz can control the Greedy at will."

"It's nothing special. It's just a superpower I got in another dungeon."

"Ah? Other copies? I heard from Mr. Kotaro that huge changes have taken place in this world..."

"Excuse me... Excuse me," Izumi Hina followed stiffly, "What's the current situation of Eiji? Is he still alive?"

"Still alive, huh?"

Xia Chuan could feel the barely perceptible but slowly recovering breath of life in his body.

It can be said that Hino Eiji was holding his breath entirely because of his arrival.

All I can say is that he's not dead yet.

"That's good," Izumi Bina breathed a sigh of relief, then asked Natsukawa, "But...what should I call you?"

"If possible, you can just treat me as Hino Eiji for now."

……

Hongshang Foundation.

Unlike ordinary survivors, President Mitsuo Hongo is dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, and his life is not much different from before the accident. He still looks leisurely and enjoys a handmade birthday cake.

"What a troublesome ancestor! After so many years, his desires have not diminished, but have become even more intense."

"Wow!"

Several artificial core coins wrapped in ordinary cell coins broke into the office, and the power of centipedes, bees, and ants burst out and combined into the figure of an arthropod greedy person.

"We'll talk about the story of ancient Oz separately. What's the matter with that Hino Eiji?" The Greedy Arthropod said in a suppressed voice, "The power of Oz belongs to me. Only I, who was born from Hino Eiji's desire, can inherit it!"

"Indeed, your appearance is closely related to Hino Eiji."

Hong Shangguang slowly put the cream on the cake.

"In the past, we planned to artificially create core coins, but after countless failures, we had to rely on Hino Eiji's infinite desire and finally created the core coin using that desire as the basic data.

However, when the experiment was successful, the first artificial greedy person was born, that is you, Gouda! You have the potential to surpass ancient Oz!"

"Why are you still talking about this now?!" The Arthropod Greedy suddenly punched through the wall, his eyes full of desire to attack, "I exist to fulfill Hino Eiji's desires, to become Hino Eiji! But that guy... I must take Eiji back!"

Chapter 308 Artificial

2023-10-07

"Let it go a little further!"

"Will President Hong Shang come over?"

"No, the only one who came was Ms. Erika."

"That secretary lady?"

New survivor base.

Xia Chuan walked past the refugees who were busy making arrangements.

The new base was an unfinished building hidden in the suburbs, leaking air and rain everywhere and needed renovation.

The silver coins collected previously were stuffed into a series of mechanical devices, and soon a modular fortress was formed. Even the electrical circuits were successfully connected, and colorful lights lit up in the darkness, somewhat dispelling the pain of their companions' sacrifice.

Xia Chuan stopped in front of a group of skinny and pale children.

Perhaps due to the lack of daily necessities, the clothes were tattered after a long period of wandering, covered with blood stains and emitting a very unpleasant smell.

"These children... were saved by Eiji at the last minute. After that, no one saw Eiji again."
