Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 294, Section 290: Greiza, Qi Ming, Qi Ming (Second Update)
"What a huge door."

Upon receiving the news, Qi Ming rushed to the location of the Gates of Hell and gazed at it from afar.

This Gate of Hell is ten times larger than the one in the original Ultraman Ultraman Ultra, enough to accommodate more than a dozen gigantic Kirieloids traveling freely at the same time.

In this universe, Earth offers not only faith-seeking humans but also an eternal core. Occupying it would bring immeasurable benefits, making it worthwhile for the Kyrielords to invest heavily.

“At this rate, the door will be fully formed and solidify in sixty-five hours,” said Hikari, who had come to measure the data.

Dan Moroboshi's face was grim. He had just dealt with the combined attack of the vampires, and now he had to fight another unprecedentedly fierce battle within three days.

Hikari: "Should we destroy this door?"

Qi Ming asked, "After this door is destroyed, the Kirieloids should be able to create another door, right?"

Hikari: "Yes, but this can delay their offensive."

Qi Ming shook his head: "It's meaningless."

He said the Kirieloids seem determined to take over the earth, and if this door is destroyed, what will happen if they quietly open it in a corner of the Amazon rainforest next time?
At that time, tens of thousands of Kirieloids will descend unimpeded and instantly conquer the world.

Qi Ming: "These Kirieloids are like a pile of rocks when they're together, but they're like maggots when they're scattered. We absolutely cannot let them scatter, otherwise even if we win in the end, the earth will be turned into a scorched wasteland."

Justice hovered in the sky, but the ground was littered with corpses. He didn't want this Shakespearean tragic ending.

He wants to end everything at the very beginning.

Saijo Nagi: "So what do you plan to do? Fight them here?"

Qi Ming: "To be precise, I want to push the battlefield to the world of the Kirieloids."

He planned to block the spring.

Dan Moroboshi: "What are you going to do?"

Qi Ming: "Please invite Himeya Jun and Aizen Makoto over. We need to discuss this properly."

Dan Moroboshi: "The chances of winning are much greater if the three of us team up."

Qi Ming: "No, I'll still be the one to take on the front lines. They'll be responsible for cleaning up the mess after I leave."

"Leave?" Upon hearing this, Huimei, who had been silent, suddenly turned around.

Qi Ming did not answer; he stared blankly at the Gates of Hell in the distance.

..............................

Soon, Jun Himeya and Makoto Aizen arrived at the sea base for a meeting, and on the way, they learned about the Gates of Hell.

Both of them looked very serious, and Aizen Makoto was no longer laughing and joking.

Dan Moroboshi and Hikari also participated in the meeting. The latter said, "A preliminary calculation of the energy behind the door shows that it is roughly equivalent to 12,000 'first-generation Kirieloids'."

Upon hearing this, Aizen Makoto grabbed his hair: "What! Twelve thousand! Are you kidding me? That means each of us has to fight four thousand enemies?"

Even if the opponent just stands still and lets you kill them, it would still take a long time!

Jun Himeya whispered, "Is this the enemy's main force?"

Dan Moroboshi was also shocked by this number: "This level of concentrated fire is something that cannot be resisted by normal means..."

Although the enemy was overwhelming during the Great Ultra War, the forces of justice were equally unbroken, and the million warriors of the Land of Light rose up in resistance under the leadership of Father of Ultra.

The human resources on this planet are extremely limited, and the disparity between us and the enemy is frighteningly large.

Stimulated, Aizen Makoto paced back and forth: "This is too unfair, too unfair! Ten thousand enemies, even if each one only deals one drop of blood, a single combined attack would still deal over ten thousand drops of blood. This...this..."

Qi Ming nodded: "Right, but what if the opponent can't deal any damage? Or what if no matter how they attack, it's always -0? If they can't hit, then having a large number of attacks is meaningless; 0 multiplied by any number is 0."

The moment the number 0 was mentioned, everyone present guessed what he was planning to do.

0 means nothing, nothing at all – nothingness.

"You're planning to..." Dan Moroboshi's eyes showed shock.

Qi Ming remained calm: "Once a door is opened, people inside can come out, and people outside can come in."

“I will take the space-freezing bomb that Hikari has developed and rush into the dimension where the Kirielods are located, freeze their space and turn them into Greza to trap and beat them.”

As long as the void mechanism is not broken, no matter how many enemies there are, it will be useless.

It sounds easy, but anyone can tell that this battle plan carries enormous risks.

Rushing into the enemy's base, which is completely unknown, involves too many uncertainties and may even pose deadly dangers.

Aizen Makoto was the first to object: "No, no, it's too dangerous! What if the other side has a way to evade Greiza? What if you turn back into a human from Greiza before you've killed all the enemies?"

Qi Ming said, "The strongest individual on the other side is only a 'second-generation Kirieloid.' They tried to use a human wave tactic but they were so slow in opening a spatial portal. Once the spatial freezing bomb takes effect, they won't be able to escape Greiza."

When Qi Ming was young, a bunch of marketing accounts said that "there is an extremely powerful Kirieloid god at the top of the Kirieloids, who is the ultimate being that surpasses all Kirieloids", so he couldn't help but believe it.

But as he grew up, Qi Ming learned that the so-called "Kyrieloid Gods" actually referred to the "Kyrieloid Gods," and that all Kyrieloids called themselves gods in front of humans.

There is no ultimate existence; the strongest individual is only at the level of a Gen 2, but a large group of Gen 2s attacking together would probably be too much for even the Goldler aliens to handle.

But if you're going to resort to ganging up and beating people up, don't blame me for using my superhuman strength to fight you.

Qi Ming glanced at Hikari, who then added:

"Based on initial observations, the enemy's dimension is not very large."

"Based on the duration of Greza last time, the opponent has no room to escape."

Aizen Makoto breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. It seems like this plan is almost certain to succeed."

Jun Himeya wasn't so optimistic: "I heard you say last time that you would have a very serious period of weakness after you turned back into a human from Greza, right?"

"How will you get through this time without anyone else to take care of you? Most importantly... how will you get back?"

Qi Ming's gaze unconsciously fell on a spot of light on the wooden board:
"Griza can kill all creatures that have an energy reaction. During the period of weakness, just rely on your body's recovery ability to tough it out."

"As for coming back... as long as you have the will, you can always come back."

He said that Hikari had given him the coordinates of this universe and Earth, and that he could find them again once he recovered.

“As long as… I’ll go with you,” Himeya Jun said.

Since Qi Ming, a visitor from another world, dared to risk his life like this, Ji Yazhun naturally had the courage and awareness to accompany him to the scene.

“No, in order to prevent President Aizen Makoto from being left to fend for himself alone, the power of Nexus must remain on Earth,” Qi Ming said.

He had previously considered having Nexus enter and create a Meta Realm to block Greeza's senses, so that Greeza could come out and protect him after he had devoured all the enemies.

However, the body of a suitable individual has its limits; Nexus in his youth state could only maintain the Meta Domain for a maximum of three minutes.

If Himeya Jun really went in with him, his chances of survival would be slim. "But this is still too..." Himeya Jun fell silent.

He had witnessed the death of his beloved Sera in the past, and now he was going to watch his comrade Qi Ming gamble with his life?

Qi Ming: "If there were other better methods, I wouldn't want to take the risk; I'm also afraid of dying."

He also considered methods such as blocking the entrance to Hell's Gate and clearing out the enemies with the M87 beam or the Dark Orb Supreme Sword.

But the opponents weren't AI; they were cunning Kirieloids who could shut down at any time if things went wrong.

Once the time has passed, they open the gates of hell in a secluded place and then file out.

Once dispersed, most of the country's manpower would be wiped out instantly, and it would take the three Ultramen an unknown amount of time to wage guerrilla warfare to reclaim the lost territory.

Therefore, the first battle must be the decisive one, and the outcome must be decided in one fell swoop. The enemy's stronghold must be completely destroyed, leaving them no chance.

After Qi Ming finished speaking, the others were speechless for a moment.

After a long pause, Hikari said, "It's dangerous, but this is the most feasible and has the highest chance of success in terms of combat."

Qi Ming leaned back in his chair in a relaxed posture: "Thank you, Griza. It gave me an option other than running away."

Next, the group discussed the matter carefully for three hours, considering all possible scenarios and making the battle plan as detailed as possible.

Aizen Makoto looked grief-stricken: "There can be absolutely no mistakes. We can't let Qi Ming's sacrifice be in vain."

Qi Ming shouted, "Sacrifice my foot! I'm not going to die with them; I'm going to come back alive!"

....................................

After the meeting, Hikari, Jun Himeya, and Makoto Aizen went off to prepare.

Dan Moroboshi stayed behind: "I never expected you to make such a big decision in such a short time."

Qi Ming: "It wasn't a short time. I started preparing as soon as I heard the last words of the second-generation Kirieloid in the Dark Realm."

"I thought about it for a long time, weighed the pros and cons, and even considered using Gauss's ability to travel through time to leave this place and escape to another place, but in the end I decided against it."

Dan Moroboshi: "Why did you give up? What kind of belief supported you to risk your life?"

Qi Ming tilted his head and said, "Perhaps it's because deserting in the face of battle doesn't fit my handsome and majestic image, hahaha."

He could still crack a joke at this point.

Moroboshi Dan couldn't help but sigh, "Qiming, you've really changed. Do you still remember what you said to me when you first arrived here?"

Qi Ming knew what he meant: "Helping others within one's capacity?"

Dan Moroboshi: "Yes, the next battle will be life-threatening, and it won't be within my control anymore."

Qi Ming countered, "If we're talking about life-threatening situations, which battle before wasn't dangerous?"

Dan Moroboshi paused, then said, "You're right... but the uncertainty this time is too great."

Qi Ming: "But things are a little different now than they were in the past."

Before coming into this world, Qi Ming was the student council president, respected by most of his classmates. His peers considered it an honor to befriend him, and many elders admired him greatly, believing that he would surely achieve great things in the future.

But one day, Qi Ming woke up to find that he had left his comfort zone.

The once bright and promising world is gone, replaced by a chaotic and turbulent Earth.

He was very resistant and hostile.

After seeing that both Kishida and Saijo Nagi in the mountains were as bad as he remembered, he didn't want to stay there for even a second longer.

He doesn't belong here; he's an outsider in this world. His happiness lies at home.

He was willing to step forward and fight for two reasons: firstly, to repay a favor to the Star Cluster, and secondly, because his conscience wouldn't allow him to stand by and watch innocent people die when he had the ability to do so.

But he still didn't think he belonged here. He took things one step at a time, believing that with Ultraman's power, he would leave soon.

But unexpectedly, things took many twists and turns... Even after becoming Gauss, who could travel through dimensions, he remained stuck in the original universe because he had no coordinates.

Over time, many things change.

The world has undergone tremendous changes because of me, and I have left many indelible marks on this world.

He gained comrades-in-arms like Jun Himeya and Makoto Aizen.

Saijo Nagi, who had previously questioned him, now respects him greatly, and Kishida and Yamanaka have also become more likable.

Under its own management, TPC has also begun to restore the original drama's vitality.

Should we stop here and give up halfway?
Should we play the same bad hand we were dealt at the beginning until the end, and rebuild a paradise on earth in this dark and boundless purgatory?
It would be quite fulfilling to do that.

Perhaps only through this endeavor can one truly appreciate one's talents and be worthy of the title "Morning Star."

Qi Ming, Qi Ming.

I wonder if my mother ever imagined this day would come when she named me.

"Even for the sake of Emi and my friends like Fujimiya, I should step forward and lend a helping hand." Qi Ming thought a lot, but in the end, he only said this one sentence.

Dan Moroboshi, however, seemed to have read his thoughts and smiled slightly.

His initial plan succeeded.

Qi Ming now felt a sense of belonging to this world.

"Do you remember the incident at Mount Kiribuki, when you watched the biker gang get killed by a monster?" Dan Moroboshi suddenly asked.

Qi Ming: "Monster? [Witch] is Xiaoxue's mother, the embodiment of Xiaoxue's resentment towards Seven. If all monsters understood the principle of 'the vengeful spirit has its source and the debtor its debtor' like these two, how happy I would be."

"But looking back now, that incident was actually a little inappropriate, since I was using Seven's appearance at the time, which might have damaged your reputation as captain."

"However, if the media gets involved, they can cut up the Seven I became that night into Mechanical Seven, and make me a heretic like Seven. After all, the style I displayed that day was completely different from the real you."

Dan Moroboshi gestured with his hand: "I don't mind this. At that time, my leg was broken and I couldn't fight. You used my strength to defeat Sadra and Teton and protect that small town of tens of thousands of people for me. I'm already very satisfied."

"But if you could do it all over again, would you still stand by and watch those biker gang members die?"

Qi Ming tilted his head and thought for a while: "Probably not."

“At that time, I felt like I was a temporary worker, so I didn’t want external forces to interfere with the victims and the avengers, and I wanted them to have a ‘direct dialogue’.”

"Now, I can be considered a part of this world to some extent. I keep fighting to make the world a better place."

"So I might not be able to resist taking action and crushing those biker gang members with one punch."

After saying that, Qi Ming stretched and left amidst the stunned and shocked gaze of Moroboshi Dan.
