Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 301, Section 297: Greiza vs. the Gods of Kirieloid!
Success! We've finally completed the most crucial part of the plan.

Qi Ming felt a sense of relief, and as his nerves relaxed, a deep feeling of exhaustion washed over him.

The other Kirielods regrouped:
"Why didn't you keep running away with your heads down? Did you die without regrets after completing your mission?"

"But if I told you that we could restore space in a few days and conquer Earth, wouldn't you die with regrets?"

The demons swarmed up, reveling in the appearance of the "losers."

"With this monster's speed, you might still be able to escape."

"Now that the space has solidified, you can't leave. This gives us the chance to trap you like a turtle in a jar. Let's end this cat-and-mouse game!"

Qi Ming spoke for the first time: "It's time to end this. After closing the door, it's time to beat the dog."

He deactivated the transformation again, then clicked the button to raise the mechanism.

Star Gift: 0
Manufacturing: 27/40.
Star Gift has been reset to zero, and the last Black Raine with the "first free transformation opportunity" has just been used up.

With all the prerequisites met, it's time for it to appear.

"Still want to transform? Is this shameless resistance fun? Just die already!"

The next moment, all the Jiren present simultaneously launched Hellfire Bullets, and tens of thousands of fiery torrents shot towards Qi Ming.

"It's up to you." Just before being hit, Qi Ming slammed his hand on the watch face—random mode triggered.

Although it's a random mode, there's only one object left that can be transformed into, and it's always the same one no matter how you randomize it.

"Boom!" The light from the simultaneous eruption of tens of thousands of Hellfire Bullets illuminated this gloomy dimension as if it were daytime. The burning energy torrents intertwined to form a net of destruction, which collapsed with a bang centered on the location where Qi Ming had just been!
"boom--!!!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, a massive crater a kilometer in diameter instantly vaporized from the ground, and the black stone peaks shattered like fragile biscuits.

This "spectacular" scene convinced all the Kirieloids that Qi Ming, who was always causing trouble and getting in the way, had vanished into thin air!

No matter what Ultraman or monster he transforms into, he will surely die if he is hit by this concentrated fire!

"Dead, finally dead. This is what happens when you oppose the gods of Kirieloid!"

"Once space returns to normal, bring news of his death back to Earth and let those rebels despair!"

The next moment, a strange voice rang out, causing all the Kirieloids to freeze as if struck by lightning.

The ethereal, sinister laughter was drawn out, filled with chaos and disorder, causing even the self-proclaimed gods of the Kirieloid to feel a chill run down their spines and instinctively tremble.

They found it unbelievable.

What's going on? Why is there still a sound coming from there?

With tens of thousands of Hellfire Bombs firing simultaneously, how could any creature survive?
And this sound is...

The next moment, a huge "humanoid" body burst out of the smoke. Its body was covered with colorful patterns and topped with a head as bright yellow as a light bulb.

Void Monster Greiza – Second Form, Appears.

If Qi Ming were still conscious, he would probably be shocked as well.

This time, Greeza has inherited the evolution results of devouring hundreds of monsters, and he comes in his second form right away!
"Is this Qi Ming's new transformation? Is he hiding such a trump card?"

"This guy is no ordinary person; he survived the attack just now."

The next moment, Greiza charged toward the nearest second-generation Kirieloid, a sight that stunned tens of thousands of Kirieloids.

In a head-on confrontation, how could Qi Ming possibly fight against ten thousand men? Has he gone mad? Where is his brain?
Tens of thousands of Hellfire Bullets roared out again, but they passed right through Greiza's body the moment they touched it.

Those torrents of energy, powerful enough to melt through mountains, passed through its colorful body as if striking a phantom, and bombarded the distant stone peaks.

Greza's figure flickered between reality and illusion like a poorly received television screen, advancing hundreds of meters with each flicker.

"Is it an afterimage or an illusion?" The second-generation Kyren, targeted by Greiza, roared. Backed by tens of thousands of its brethren, it did not back down and brought its wrist blade down on Greiza's head.

The blade sliced ​​through Greiza's head without any resistance, like splitting a cloud of colorful smoke, but Greiza's five sharp claws simultaneously pierced through the man's energy core.

The latter's body stiffened, and he fell heavily to the ground.

This scene made the other Kirieloids question the meaning of life.

If it's not an illusion, why can't we hit it?
If it's an illusion, why can it kill people?
Am I awake?
This is unreasonable!
The next moment, Greiza charged at another second-generation Kirieloid, and all the Kirieloids in that direction were terrified and retreated unconsciously.

In their own stronghold, the always arrogant Kirieloids chose to back down in the face of the sinister Greiza.

But Greiza was too fast, and in a few moments it caught up with its prey, using [Greiza Absorption] to swallow the second-generation Giri into its body.

Others took the opportunity to attack, but still failed to hit it.

This drove the Kyrielord gods almost crazy.

It can kill and devour us, yet we can't seem to defeat it.
Why!
Greiza used [Dark Thunderstorm Absorption] again, extending countless blue-green energy arms from his chest core, grabbing more than a dozen first-generation Jiren and swallowing them into his body.

"It was terrifying; they were devoured before they could even put up a fight."

"I know what this is now, this is the only possibility—it's not a monster, it's the void of the universe, one of the most terrible natural disasters, the nothingness that forced the Chaos Virus to flee before!" "What! The legendary Greza, wasn't it a spherical object? How did it become like this?"

All the Kirieloids finally realized that something was terribly wrong; this guy in front of them could not be defeated by sheer numbers.

"That Qi Ming turned into Greza? That's not scientific. How could a person transform into a natural phenomenon?"

"This is not the time to talk about this. Run! We must not confront them head-on!"

"Escape? Space is frozen, where can we escape to now?"

Upon hearing this, despair rose in the hearts of all the Kirieloids.

They had nowhere to run.

So that's how it is. So that's why Qi Ming risked his life to rush to their dimensional core to solidify space, all for this moment.

He rushed into the gates of hell not to die, but to live!
He wanted to kill all the Kirieloid gods from the very beginning!
That's terrifying! It turns out he was the real hunter all along. His previous "stubborn resistance" and "discarding their armor" were just preparations for the hunt, all for the purpose of wiping them out in one fell swoop at this moment!
The next moment, Greiza began to shake his head, and purple ultrasonic energy spread like water ripples, echoing in this dimension.

This is the Death Knell! In the original series, it paralyzed the XIO base, shattered the Cyber ​​Gomora, and caused Zeta, Geed, and the Three Emperors immense suffering.

"Ugh..." The second-generation Kirieloids all crashed into their planes, and Greiza pounced on them with a chilling laugh.

The once high and mighty "gods" have now become prey fleeing in panic. The second-generation Kirieloids frantically flap their tattered demon wings, only to find Greiza relentlessly pursuing them.

The entire Netherworld became a slaughterhouse. Wherever Greiza passed, the Kiwis fell like waves of wheat, then were swallowed into Greiza's chest...

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

Seven days have passed on Earth.

As time went on, the remaining inhabitants of Nonmarte felt increasingly uneasy.

What's going on? Why haven't the gods descended a second time? Have they abandoned Earth?
Impossible! Divine pronouncements are great and unchangeable!

But as time went on, their despair grew.

Because they were unable to contact the Kirielod people, no matter how many times they offered sacrifices and prayers, they received no response.

The second gate to hell has never been opened, and perhaps it never will be.

"What on earth happened?!" They were utterly bewildered. Without the support of the Kyrielord gods, how could their cause of restoring their kingdom proceed?

Did we really fail? Was all our efforts in vain?

Those on the human side who knew the truth were deeply moved.

At this moment, Jun Himeya and Makoto Aizen huddled together, the latter staring blankly at the sky above where the Gates of Hell had been last time: "Team Member Qi Ming, it should have been a success, right?"

Jun Himeya: "Yes, he won. Humanity has defeated the gods."

Aizen Makoto: "Then... how long until he comes back? Three days, seven days, or half a month?"

Jun Himeya thought for a moment and said, "He will come back when people need him."

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

Qi Ming opened his eyes and felt a sense of chaos, as if his consciousness had been torn apart and then forcibly pieced back together.

The world before my eyes was blurry, as if I were looking through a layer of murky frosted glass. My temples throbbed, and each heartbeat felt like a blunt instrument pounding inside my skull. My body felt hollowed out.

This feels awful.

How long have I been unconscious?

He tried to prop himself up, but his arms felt as heavy as lead. He tried to touch any key as if by muscle memory, but found that his fingers were trembling so much that he couldn't even press the button accurately.

Greza's backlash was still terrifying; the nihilistic revelry almost swallowed up his cognitive boundaries as a "human being."

In this weakened state, any Kirieloid could easily kill him.

But the surroundings were eerily quiet.

The frozen, ghostly dimension has become a silent graveyard, devoid of wind and sound.

Even the once flowing purple mist has disappeared, and the inverted stone peaks in the distance stand silently like tombstones. The originally dark red sky has turned into a murky gray-white, like bloodstains that have been washed away.

"What a quiet world, why is it so empty?"

"Oh, right, I've wiped out the Kirieloids."

The next moment, the space a hundred meters ahead suddenly shattered like a mirror.

As a result of Baigriza's rampage, the dimensional barrier was torn apart.

Is Earth on the other side of the crack?
Qi Ming struggled to focus his gaze, and through the crack, he saw a completely different scene—a somewhat desolate world.
