Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 304. Gaia's Red Ball, Ultraman Tiga at the Primordial Beginning!
"Shh!"

Upon seeing a giant the same size as himself appear, Baalzeb immediately changed his target, knowing he had to deal with him first.

"Whoosh!" Baalzeb's venomous tail extended, aiming for Orb, but Gai, who had been warned by Jugglus Juggler, was on guard and quickly dodged the attack.

He then charged up his energy, joined his hands together, and unleashed his ultimate attack – the Origen Ray!
However, Kai, in his second transformation, was clearly unable to adapt to Ultraman's battles. He couldn't withstand the strong recoil of the beam, and the brilliant beam went completely astray, failing to hit Baalzeb in front of him and instead scraping the surrounding mountains.

This made Qi Ming wonder if Kai had skipped the tutorial.

Jugglus was sweating profusely and said anxiously, "What are you doing? Stand still!"

Qi Ming also shouted, "We can't just release beams of light like that! The best time to unleash a finishing move is when the enemy is rendered unable to move or escape, or when they expose an opening!"

Jugglus Juggler standing to the side: "?"

You've started giving me advice too.

But what he said makes a lot of sense. Isn't this guy just an unlucky guy being targeted by Baalzeb? How would he know all this?
Upon hearing this, Kai, who was always quick to agree with good advice, seemed to momentarily freeze in his mind.

To make the enemy unable to move and unable to escape?

Why don't I just use a beam attack to severely injure the monster first, and then use another beam attack to kill it in one hit?

Yes, that's right, let's do it that way!
The next moment, he bent down, stabilized his lower body by assuming a horse stance, and released the light again.

With obvious intent, the Origen Beam was released again, and Baalzeb immediately blocked it with his right claw, only to be struck and sparks flew everywhere.

"Good!" Jugglus Juggler cheered.

Qi Ming shook his head: "Can this be called good? The energy-consuming ultimate beam missed its target and was blocked instead. He suffered a great loss. After firing two beams in a row, he must be exhausted now."

Upon hearing this, Jugglus's expression changed drastically.

The pained Baalzeb roared, condensing his energy and unleashing a fireball that shot towards Orb.

Orb was in the process of retracting his power when he was hit by the fireball and collapsed to the ground, his color timer flashing rapidly.

The next moment, Orb's body turned into light and dissipated, transforming back into [Kai] lying on the ground, convulsing in pain.

Having witnessed this famous scene firsthand, Qi Ming was at a loss for words.

Well, it's understandable that he's a bit rusty since it's his first battle.

After all, no one is born a qualified warrior; there is always a process of growth.

After defeating Orb, Baalzeb looked at Qi Ming with a menacing gaze.

In the original series, Baalzeb defeated [Kai] until he de-transformed and then flew away, showing no intention of finishing him off.

But Balixibu here still doesn't intend to finish the job; it plans to settle accounts with Qi Ming.

"We have no choice but to retreat." Jugglus prepared to pull Qi Ming and Kai along as they fled.

"I won't refuse a gift that's offered to me." Qi Ming shook his head and took a deep breath.

The next moment, he rushed towards Baalzeb, stunned by the sight of the giant fly.

What's going on? Didn't you see I just defeated a ten-meter-tall giant?

Instead of running away in fear, you charged at me?
Jugglus also thought that Qi Ming was simply courting death.

He watched in shock as Qi Ming dodged Balixibu's slashing claws, stepped on its knee joint to gain momentum, and then spun around and punched Balixibu on the head with all his might.

"Bang!" Baalzeb fell heavily to the ground, and Jugglus Juggler stared blankly, questioning the meaning of life.

How did a human defeat a ten-meter-tall monster with his bare hands?

Are the inhabitants of this planet in such good physical condition?

"Who exactly are you?" Jugglus Juggler couldn't help but ask, remembering how Jugglus Juggler hadn't run away but instead calmly stood beside him watching the battle of the giants.

"My name is Qi Ming, an archaeologist who was just passing by." After landing, Qi Ming took a few breaths, while Balixibu lay down with his limbs twitching continuously.

archaeologist?

This made Jugglus Juggler wonder if he had misheard.

"Then... how did you do it?"

"How did you do that? As long as humans train hard, dealing with one or two monsters is no problem," Qi Ming said, a strong sense of fatigue washing over him, making him feel a little dizzy.

Oh no, it's about to collapse...

He quickly said to Jugglus, "I'm almost done for, you finish this guy off."

Jugglus nodded. Although he still had many doubts, he understood that the most important thing at the moment was to completely stop the life activities of the Baalzeb in front of him.

He drew his "Serpent Heart Sword" and approached Baal-zeb. But the next moment, a shocking change occurred.

A white sphere covered in black patterns descended from the sky, releasing green lasers that struck everyone below.

Kai, Qi Ming, and Jugglus were all within its attack range.

This thing... is Sphia!
The white sphere that the Mirakul aliens mentioned earlier, which could merge with the rock, was indeed Sphia.

This is a terrifying creature. Although it is only about five meters in size under normal circumstances, it can assimilate with all kinds of organic and inorganic matter.

After arriving in this chaotic universe, Qi Ming encountered all sorts of monsters, super beasts, alien beasts, negative energy monsters, and disc creatures, but he never saw Sphia from "Dyna".

He had been wondering where Sphia had gone and why it hadn't cooperated with Agamus in causing trouble, but he never expected it to be active in the star system where "The Beginning" was located.

What's going on here? Dyna, Scria's nemesis, is indeed in "The Origin of the Wild," and this guy is looking for him?
“Sphia!” Jugglus Juggler also recognized the white sphere: “All the mission objectives have appeared.”

Qi Ming was taken aback. He grabbed the immobile [Kai] and hid behind a rock with Jugglus Juggler: "Mission objective?"

The situation was urgent, so Jugglus Juggler picked out the most important points and explained them.

It turns out that after Gai obtained Orb's power, O50 issued him his first mission.

The mission has two objectives: one is to stop the mad scientist Dr. Genius from continuing to harm the universe with his puppet virus.

Another one is Sphia, who swept away this star field.

The mission states that Sphia is searching for a "red ball" that can grant any wish, and that they must be destroyed before it's too late.

Qi Ming was stunned.

A red ball that can grant any wish...

Is it the one from the Ultraman Gaia movie, "Time Wars"?

Can a few mischievous kids create a super wishing machine that can easily defeat Gaia V2 by holding a red ball and shouting a few times?

Where is this thing currently located in this star system? What is Sphia looking for it for?
Could it be that it plans to use its ability to assimilate with any object to assimilate with the red ball?

It's terrifying to even think about.

And... O50 in this world is so unscrupulous!

The inexperienced [Kai] is tasked with simultaneously dealing with the Baalzib Legion under the brilliant Dr., as well as the Sphia Army, while also being wary of the chain of events triggered by the red ball.

Is this something a human can do?
"Whoosh!" At that moment, Sphia found the three people hiding behind the rocks and shattered the rocks with a laser beam.

The powerful shockwave blasted the three of them away. After Qi Ming fell to the ground, he rolled over, took out the Victory Hyper gun, turned it to maximum power, and fired at Sphia.

"Bang!" After being hit, Sphia landed shakily on the ground, merging with the rocks below.

The next moment, the rock changed, and a huge, spider-like creature appeared in the three people's sight.

The Sphia and the rock have assimilated, this is the Sphia chimera [Darlandbill]!
This size is beyond what Qi Ming in his human form could handle.

Sensing the man's malice, [Kay], with trembling hands, drew his holy sword again from his robes, trying to continue the fight: "Jugglus, you take him away, I'll take this guy..."

Qi Ming pressed his hand down: "Don't push yourself. These situations are too 'beyond your level' for a newcomer like you. Let me, the 'senior,' take care of things here for now."

After he finished speaking, he pressed the button, and the movement of any key lifted up.

“What is this…” Kai was taken aback.

After rotating the dial, the silhouette of Ultraman Tiga appears.

Ultraman Tiga.

Integration level: 30%.
Rating: C.
“This is…” Jugglus Juggler, who was watching this scene from the side, realized something.

"I should be able to hold on... Never mind, even if I pass out, my instincts will still carry me to eliminate all enemies." Qi Ming rubbed his head.

The next moment, Qi Ming tapped the dial, and a stream of light burst forth. A giant in red, silver, and purple intertwined appeared in a stream of light, blocking [Darland Bill's] path.

Ultraman Tiga, here he comes!

Upon seeing this, Kai murmured, "Senior..."

At this moment, the shock in Jugglus's eyes reached its peak: "So... he's an Ultra Warrior too."
