Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 276, Section 272: Qi Ming Uses Dark Power, V99's End (A Long Chapter of 4,000 Words)
"It's Zolim! Could it have survived the wormhole and emerged from it?!"

Looking at the massive Zolim, which resembled a mountain range, Kishida and Yamanaka, who had parachuted from the crashing Flying Swallow II, were filled with fear.

Saijo Nagi and Emi, who knew the truth, breathed a sigh of relief.

He's finally back.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Zolim fired another series of fireballs.

With a flash of green light, the second-generation Kirieloids strengthened their bodies.

Its muscles swelled, its body became more robust, and its sharp armor stood up as it crossed its arms to block.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three fireballs hit their mark precisely, engulfing the Kirieloid in flames.

However, when the smoke cleared, the demon's figure still stood, with only a few scorch marks left on its arm armor.

As an entity that completely suppressed Ultraman Tiga's three forms in the original series, the second-generation Kirieloid is an absolute "powerful force".

Its body is incredibly strong, and Zolim's fireballs cannot inflict any effective damage on it.

"After spraying for so long, the energy of this body has weakened, and the power of the fireball has decreased." Qi Ming noticed the change.

He had just been chasing Valaron, who was fleeing to Earth, just like the "Elder Centipede who swept Genos away" in One-Punch Man.

Qi Mingneng continued to bombard Valaron, causing damage. No matter how Valaron struggled and fought back, it could not shake it in the slightest.

When Valaron desperately lunged at Zolim's back and used the circular saw blade on its abdomen to cut like a chainsaw, Qi Ming almost burst out laughing.

If this move were used against an Ultraman of the same size, it would definitely cause serious injury.

But against the massive Zolim, it could only manage a minor scratch.

Would anyone cry and scream over a minor cut, thus revealing their vulnerability?
But Valaron is, after all, a boss-level being, and his physical strength is still up to par.

Although he brought it to the brink of death, Qi Ming was also greatly exhausted after spewing dozens of breaths of flame.

Should we switch to using tail whip or headbutt to deal with the second-generation Kirieloid? But Nexus and Black Orb are still around him, and with Zolim's attack range, they're bound to accidentally injure him.

"Let's switch." Zolim swooped down to the roof of a tall building, and Qi Ming deactivated his transformation and stood on the roof.

"So tired..." He breathed slightly. Fighting his way from the moon to Earth, using his incongruous serpentine body to successively defeat two wild monsters, a powerful warrior, and a BOSS, was quite exhausting for him.

"It's you!" Upon seeing Qi Ming revert to his original form, the Kirieloid raised his hand and fired a Hellfire Bullet.

They still don't know how powerful this guy is, so he has no intention of defeating Qi Ming after his transformation to collect his faith. Instead, he wants to nip this threat in the bud.

“But another match is still no problem.” Qi Ming turned the dial, and when a human-shaped silhouette appeared, he slapped it down.

A black stream of light rose, and the familiar giant appeared before everyone's eyes.

Dark Mephistopheles.

Integration level: 60%.

Rating: B.

Dark Mephisto makes his appearance.

With a flick of his right hand, he easily caught the Hellfire Bullet fired by the Kirielod.

"It's him!" Everyone stared wide-eyed at the familiar giant.

Unaware of the situation, Kishida and Yamanaka exclaimed, "Wasn't this guy supposed to be killed by Gaia? How did he come back to life?!"

Knowing that this was Qi Ming transformed into Saijo Nagi, she was very worried.

After coming into contact with this power, Gou Lumu completely fell from grace, becoming the complete opposite of his former self. Will Qi Ming follow suit...?

In fact, Saijo Nagi's concerns were not unfounded. Dark energy can indeed distort a person's mind, diminish their rationality, amplify the aggression of the transformed individual, and ultimately cause them to lose control.

In Ultraman Orb, Gai Kurenai's Dark Shining form was caused by using Belial's card, which led to him losing control twice in a row.

After becoming Dark Mephistopheles, the darkness also began to amplify the desires in Qi Ming's heart, causing him to have many evil thoughts.

Using a list of absentees to deceive college students into believing it's an attendance sheet; selling glycerin suppositories that are actually super glue; turning the speakers of square dancing aunties into funeral music players; beating the scumbag reporter Hirukawa into the ICU and then connecting his oxygen tube to car exhaust.

Turn morgue beds into massage chairs, replace protein powder for gym-goers with milk tea, mix Yu Tsuchihashi's ashes into fireworks for a starry sky funeral... Oh, the last one seems pretty good.

Soon, even more terrifying evil thoughts emerged.

Sprinkle itching powder behind the one-armed old man, water the vegetative patient at the hospital, and replace Inagaki Staff Officer's cigar with firecrackers.

Offer sticky rice cakes to elderly people with dentures, tell them that WeChat steps can be exchanged for cash at a 1:1 ratio, and give elderly people in wheelchairs a tattoo of "Akina Mountain Speed ​​King"...

But after a few deep breaths, Qi Ming regained his composure and his eyes became clear again.

"Looks like my self-control is pretty good." After saying that, Qi Ming rushed directly in front of the Kirieloid and knocked it back several steps with a powerful shoulder strike.

Dark Mephisto helped Nexus up: "I'm back. Everything's alright now. You can go and rest."

Seeing this, Hui Mei breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile: "As expected, Qi Ming can definitely do it."

Before Himeya Jun could say anything, Aizen Makoto from the Black Oubre was about to burst into tears: "Waaah, Qi Ming, you're finally back to support us... Don't hold back, beat this opportunistic fake god to a pulp!"

"Don't even think about it!" The second-generation Kirieloid reached out to grab Black Orb, intending to take him hostage.

"Stop messing around and come play in my 'Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'." Qi Ming spread his arms, and his dark domain opened.

The second-generation Kirieloid suddenly found nothing; the Black Orb that was within reach had vanished, and he only managed to grasp the black soil.

The surrounding environment had changed drastically; the city streets were gone, replaced by a depressing black sky and ruins shrouded in the dim twilight...

This is the Dark Realm.

Nexus and Black Orb were nowhere to be seen; only a flickering Valaron remained beside him.

Because Qi Ming only brought the two of them in.

"Warspace!" The Kirieloids immediately realized where they were; their Kirieloid race lived in a similar special space.

The next moment, Dark Mephisto clasped his hands together and unleashed his ultimate move—[Dark Ray Storm].

A dark purple beam of light shot out and struck Valaron.

The latter's body stiffened, then it fell heavily to the ground, exploding into pieces and dying instantly.

"Not bad, its power has increased considerably with the amplification from the Dark Domain." Qi Ming nodded in satisfaction.

A blue light appeared from the fragments of Valaron and was absorbed by Ultraman's random key.

【Access/Conversion】.

“Valalon is indeed not A-rank…” Qi Ming glanced at the second-generation Kirieloid in front of him, whose body was tense, and thought that this guy was probably B-rank as well.

If all of his and Valaron's life energy is converted, with 3+3+3, the Star Power will directly reach 9 points, and the Star Gathering will be possible again in three days.

Let's do it this way. Anyway, neither of these two guys has any irreplaceable special abilities, and in terms of "cost-effectiveness," neither of them is as good as the Mephistopheles he has become.

"The lottery is happening more and more frequently; life is really getting better," Qi Ming thought to himself, and chose [Transformation]. Star Gift: 6.
Manufacturing: 23/40.
He used [Amplification] to increase his combat power by 6% across all aspects.

With the double amplification, Dark Mephisto's physical strength was no weaker than that of the second-generation Kirieloid. Qi Ming pressed forward with a killing intent!

The Kirielod man took a step with his left foot and then raised his right leg for a high side kick. Qi Ming leaned back to avoid it and immediately leaped up and kicked the Kirielod man back with his right leg.

In this round, Qi Ming clearly had the upper hand.

During the exchange, Qi Ming didn't miss the chance to mock: "I didn't expect the second generation of Kirieloids to come out like this. There were no angelic illusions to deceive the public, nor did they set up the gates of hell. It's really simple and monotonous."

The Kirieloid's tone changed: "You know about the Gates of Hell?"

He stepped forward with his left leg, then suddenly kicked forward with his right leg.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Qi Ming leaped to the right to dodge the kick, then seized the opportunity to deliver a sweeping left kick followed by a right front kick to its abdomen.

After kicking the Kirielod man back, he immediately turned and spun around, delivering a powerful flying kick to the man's head, causing him to stagger backward.

In this round, the Kirieloids suffered a great loss.

Qi Ming spoke slowly and deliberately: "Of course I know. It seems you are also very self-aware, knowing that you are not qualified to show off in front of me, so you don't do anything fancy, so as not to look even worse later."

"Don't be so arrogant!" The Kirieloid launched an attack with a series of straight punches, but Dark Mephisto directly locked his jaw to block the main punch that was coming at him. While the latter was surprised, he suddenly punched the Kirieloid in the left chest.

The Kirieloid staggered back in pain, and Qi Ming immediately followed up with a side kick with his left leg, knocking the Kirieloid to the ground.

As the Kirieloids got up, Qi Ming rushed forward and launched a series of kicks in mid-air. The Kirieloids took several kicks and then grabbed Mephisto's left foot, ready to launch a counterattack.

Qi Ming immediately broke free of his restraints with a backflip in mid-air, and then kicked the Kirieloid man in the jaw, causing him to fall to the ground again.

Since the start of the fight, the Kirieloids have been suffering setbacks and have been completely suppressed by Qi Ming.

He was still struggling, spreading his wings and flying upwards, trying to use his aerial advantage to turn the tide.

"After fighting in this world for so long, I now know a little about aerial combat."

Qi Ming followed and flew into the sky. The Mephistopheles Claw appeared and chopped off the wings of the Kirieloid, then swung his elbow.

"Bang!" The Kirieloid crashed to the ground from a height of a thousand meters, creating a huge crater.

As fate would have it, the Kirieloids who shot down Sky-Type Tiga in the original series are now being "elbowed to the point of crashing" in this world.

"Don't resist, just die obediently." Qi Ming swooped down from the sky and chopped the Kirieloid man in the neck with a hand chop.

He then delivered a series of fluid and powerful blows: elbow strikes, knee strikes, and spinning kicks. The Kirieloid was completely overwhelmed and eventually kicked to the ground, unable to get up again.

"It's over." Qi Ming charged up his power again with [Dark Ray - Storm].

"It won't end..." The Kirieloid's voice was weak, but it carried a deep-seated hatred:
"Human beings on this earth will surely follow the gods of Kyrielord, offering their faith and the eternal core."

"Next time, the gates of hell will be completely connected between the two realms, and tens of thousands of our comrades will descend here together."

"Can you defeat me alone and withstand the great torrent created by the 'Reign of the Gods'?"

Qi Ming was taken aback.

Is this a strategy of overwhelming numbers, going all in?

If tens of thousands of Kirieloids were to appear together, it would truly be an unprecedented catastrophe.

But do you really think he's helpless?

If you give up after the second generation of Kirieloids are defeated, just like in the original series, you'll still have the chance to come out and mock me when I'm in trouble in the future, saying, "The Kirieloid gods have abandoned Earth."

Are you sending your entire family out in such a massive attack to force me to wipe out your entire clan?

"Then let's wait and see." Mephisto formed an L-shape with his hands and unleashed his ultimate attack.

After being struck by the dark purple light, the Kirieloid stiffened and slowly collapsed.

He was blown to pieces, and a blue light was absorbed by Ultraman's random key.

【Access/Conversion】.

After Qi Ming chose to convert, the main control page changed.

Star Gift: 9.
Manufacturing: 23/40.
Three days from now will be the day of the next Star Gathering.

All the enemies who appeared were wiped out, and the Moonlit Quintet came to a complete end.

Qi Ming withdrew the Dark Domain, and Mephisto stood amidst the ruins, gazing up at the moonlit sky.

"Don't attack yet. This Mephisto just helped two Ultramen, unlike the previous Mizoroki," Saijo Nagi said.

Yamanaka: "If you, the vice-captain, are so calm, then we definitely need to restrain ourselves too."

Saijo Nagi: "..." What kind of talk is that!

Kishida was puzzled: "This is really strange. Melba before, Zolim and Mephisto this time, how come all the defeated enemies have changed their nature after being 'reincarnated'? He looked up at the sky, is he waiting for something?"

Hye-mi: "They're probably on guard against potential enemies that might appear later."

That's absolutely right.

In the original Blaze series, shortly after Valaron descended upon Earth, V99's fleet also arrived.

Therefore, even though Qi Ming had fought many fierce battles and was exhausted, he still did not revert to his transformation. He planned to wait until they appeared and then negotiate in the form of a giant.

But after waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of the fleet.

"What happened..." Qi Ming couldn't hold on any longer and deactivated his transformation.

Two days later, Hikari extracted the information from the brain fragments in Valaron.

[Black Flame][Danger][Black Flame][Danger].

[Restore][Machine][Restore][Machine].

[Armor] [Terror] [Armor] [Terror].

[Darkness][Emperor][Darkness][Emperor].

[Destruction][Destruction][Destruction][Destruction].

Based on this information, Qi Ming immediately guessed what had happened to V99, and his feelings were complicated.

Is this their fate?
