Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

"You... are... Hoshino Yuuma."

Yuzhen looked at the person in question with some restraint. Although it was difficult to face him, he had to admit the truth.

This man, who has suffered so much trauma, is the real Hoshino Yuuma.

"No...you are Hoshino Yuuma, and I am just a remnant of the old era."

The man disagreed with Yuzhen's words and shook his head at him.

His cloudy eyes looked at Yuzuru, who was standing in the middle of the three, and a sharp glint flashed in them.

"Can……"

Looking at the man with the hideous scars in front of her, Yuzhen felt that she, who only inherited part of his memories, was not worthy of having this name.

His friends didn't approve of the name Hoshino Yuuma, but of who he was.

The man didn't speak, but just smiled at him and shook his head again.

"You are the ideal version of me, so you are who you are, and there's no need to question that."

Looking at the man's disfigured face, Yuzhen couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

He was about to say something when he was interrupted by Reiji Nogi, who was getting up in a disheveled state on the other side.

"You bunch of bastards, do you even respect me?!"

Watching these people chatting nonchalantly, the anger in his heart surged, almost burning through his chest.

"Looks like someone's asking for trouble."

The man slowly raised his head and looked at Reiji Nogi.

At the same time, the black-armored fighting insect in his hand fell from his palm and fit perfectly on his belt.

"Hen—shin!"

A powerful voice rang out, and the armor was completely covered as the sound fell.

"Let's deal with him first, then we can talk!"

The three people and the insect rushed towards Nogi Reiji together. This attack caused Nogi Reiji to let out a low roar, and a large number of mechanical creations crawled onto his body, turning his body into a pitch-black mess.

The remaining mechanical constructs took the form of small alien insects, which restrained the people rushing towards them.

After the group defeated the alien insects, the blackness on Nogi Reiji's body had completely faded away.

At this moment, Nogi Reiji had changed drastically. He was dressed in cold, black armor and held a sharp sword that gleamed with a cold light, making him look terrifying.

Horseshoe Crab—Mechanically Modified Form!

"I will tear you all to pieces!"

He brandished his sword, roared, and charged towards the group.

"Be careful of his time stop; even I would have a hard time avoiding it."

The Hyperion at Black Armor's waist flashed, seemingly ready to pounce.

Kabuto glanced at the black and red Hypa worm, seemingly sensing something, but made no other move.

"Prepare to die!"

Nogi Reiji clashed with Black Armor Tou, and to everyone's astonishment, Black Armor Tou fought him head-on without losing the slightest advantage!

"I'm not purely human, come help me!" Black Armor Dou shouted at the group, and Steel Dou shrugged, instantly firing the high-pressure cannon.

Black Armor seemed extremely skilled in this kind of combat. Before the high-pressure cannon could get close, he punched Nogi Reiji in the face, forcing him back a few steps.

He dodged the attack, allowing the cannonball from the steel cannon to strike Nogi Reiji squarely in the chest.

Bang!

The moment it made contact with Reiji Nogi, the high-pressure bullet exploded, burning a large hole in his chest.

"It's no use."

Touching his gradually healing chest, Reiji Nogi looked up and sneered.

"I am immortal; no one can kill me!"

He regained some of his senses, and with a wave of his hand, the power of time-stopping expanded around him, halting the black-armored warrior who was about to approach again.

Since contact with a person would disrupt time, Reiji Nogi chose to deal with the Black Armored Fighter.

Its arm blade flashed with intense electricity and plunged into the waist of the black-armored fighter.

The moment he made contact with the black-armored warrior, the time stop ended, and Reiji Nogi's vision blurred as his electric arm blade missed its mark.

"Um?"

He was taken aback; this was the first time he had encountered someone who could spot the flaw in his time-stopping ability.

Just as he was about to turn around, Tendou and Yuuma's combined kick landed on his back, knocking him to the ground.

Black Armor Dou had also disappeared from their sight.

"My Hypa Worm is still not perfect..."

A blurry figure emerged from the void, holding a slender, straight red and black sword in his hand, much simpler than the complex Hyper sword.

Its design is closer to that of the Decade sword.

After muttering to himself, his figure stretched into a blurry afterimage, instantly appearing in front of Nogi Reiji, and slashing down diagonally as Nogi looked on in horror.

The sword sliced ​​through Reiji Nogi's body, slicing through the mechanical contraptions on his skin.

The intense pain from his body caused Reiji Nogi to cry out, and as his body's self-preservation mechanism activated, he stopped time.

He stumbled back a few steps, clutching his chest, and looked at the black-armored warrior who had been frozen in time, his face showing fear.

This person also accurately discovered the second flaw of time stop.

That is, if the enemy is too fast, he won't have time to use time stop.

Faced with this situation, he felt fear and wanted to run away.

If he didn't run, he would really be cut to pieces by that man's thin, straight sword!

After hesitating for a moment in the time-stopping field, Nogi Reiji decided to run away.

He has to run. He's much faster than Black Armor Fighter. If he keeps thinking about attacking, he might not be able to escape.

"We'll meet again!"

After uttering harsh words to the several motionless people in front of him, he quickly fled out of the laboratory.

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his back, a loud mechanical voice rang out behind him.

"How is that possible?!"

He turned around abruptly, looked at the Black Armor Fighter moving within the Time Stop Domain, and shouted in terror.

"This is the fatal blow I, from hell, deliver to you."

Black Armor's cold voice was filled with intense resentment as he approached Nogi Reiji step by step, electricity crackling on his legs and horns.

"I clearly stopped time! You...you couldn't possibly be moving!"

Seeing that his invincible ability had been broken, Nogi Reiji's mentality completely collapsed.

"I'm sorry, I'm no longer human."

"Besides, I've already traveled through time."

Every step that surpasses Black Armored Fighter touches the heart of Nogi Reiji.

"Rider Kick!"

Under Reiji Nogi's unwilling gaze, the black-armored warrior kicked out fiercely, striking him squarely in the chest.

The kick, imbued with deadly energy, slammed Nogi Reiji against the wall, rendering him immobile. The time stop was also dispelled by this attack.

When Yuuma came to his senses, Nogi Reiji was already locked to the wall, and a large amount of electric current was spreading across his body.

"Impossible! I'm destined to become... the Zerg King!"

With a roar, he suddenly exploded, transforming into dazzling fireworks.

The immense force of the explosion swept across the entire laboratory, turning everything inside into chaos.

Yuzhen and the others covered their eyes to block the airflow.

"Cough cough..."

After the impact, Black Armor Fighter knelt on the ground, his whole body flashing incessantly.

Seeing that Kurokadou was not in good condition, Yuzhen quickly reached out to support him.

But he found his hand passing through the body of the black-armored warrior.

The transformation was forcibly canceled, and the man's face was half-covered by his hair. He looked with one eye at Yuuma, who was trying to help him up.

Yuma desperately wanted to do something, but found that no matter what he did, he couldn't touch the man.

"Don't waste your energy, I should have died long ago."

He stated the fact calmly.

"Take advantage of these last moments and listen to my story, the other Hoshino Yuuma."

He brushed his hair aside and tidied his appearance.

This was the last face he showed when facing another Hoshino Yuuma.

Even in death, I want to die in front of my other self, so that I can die gracefully.
