Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 308, Section 304: The Speedrun Plan – A Blend of Gentleness and Courage!
"boom!"

The cold cosmic space was torn apart by light, and Ultraman Orb's crimson body drew a scorching trajectory in the asteroid belt, with more than a dozen Spheres chasing after him like a school of silver piranhas.

Perhaps due to the experience gained from long journeys in space, Ultraman Orb's movements are extremely fluid.

"Whoosh whoosh-!"

Sphia's dense laser beams wove a deadly web, while Orb moved with astonishing agility among the meteorites.

He spun sharply, skimming along the surface of the giant meteorite, while the lasers chasing him blasted the rock into dust. Using the flying debris as cover, Orb suddenly turned and unleashed three beams of light.

Two Sphia spheres exploded in mid-air, but the battle situation changed in an instant. Three Sphia that had been lying in wait suddenly attacked from the shadow of the meteorite, and their crossfire accurately hit Orb's back.

"Whoosh!" Sparks of energy erupted from his back as Orb crashed into the massive meteorite below like a kite with a broken string, creating a huge crater.

Like hungry tigers hunting antelopes, the two sphias eagerly swooped down.

At the critical moment, two scarlet rays descended from the sky, annihilating the two Sphias.

"Hey! Don't be reckless! Pay attention to everything around you during the battle!" Jugglus Juggler shouted from inside the Szak spaceship. He had just fired the first shot, relieving Orb's predicament.

After shouting, Jugglus realized he had become an idiot for being so concerned... This was outer space, no matter how loudly he shouted, [Kai] wouldn't hear him.

But Orb, who had stood up, seemed to know what Jugglus was talking about and nodded at him; the two were of one mind.

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

On the other side, Qi Ming's expression turned extremely solemn after learning that Queen Amaterasu and Agamous were involved together.

"Please tell me in detail. If it's true, then..." Even the eloquent Qi Ming was speechless at this moment, unable to find a suitable adjective.

Tachibana looked timidly at Qi Ming: "Did you really invade Dr. Asakage's hometown?"

Qi Ming: "Do you understand the meaning of the phrase 'the thief cries 'stop thief''?"

The Emperor said, "The thief cries 'Stop thief!' You mean..."

Qi Ming rubbed his temples: "He's the one who invaded. He was lurking on Earth trying to carry out an invasion, but he escaped after we discovered him. Staff Officer He Zhi said he was rescued by the Yapools, but I never expected him to end up here..."

Tachibana's eyes widened: "How is that possible? Dr. Asakage is an invader?"

Qi Ming: "He's also a brain-damaged person with illogical thinking... Didn't you guys notice anything wrong with him?"

Yu Yan shook his head: "Dr. Chaoying is a very good person."

Qi Ming: “…”

Oh right, that's Ganon over there.

In the original "Derkauss" series, Agamus was able to perfectly infiltrate the elite Victory Team, a team full of talented individuals, and use TPU's resources to create weapons of aggression for himself, only revealing his weakness when the time was right.

He was perfectly at home in the leadership of Ganon, probably even more so than Lloyd in "Spy Kids".

Tachibana added, "However, General Lai Ying has repeatedly stated that he is an outsider whose background is unknown, and we should be wary of him."

Come and welcome the general...

Qi Ming nodded. General Lai Ying was an extreme hawk on Ganon Star. In order to force Queen Amaterasu to become the God of War to fight against Dr. Caiqi, he even used the means of framing his own people in the original drama.

In other places, this kind of person would definitely be despised—he's not even as likable or charming as Gondo in "Dyna".

But in the corpse party in "The Beginning," this morally corrupt man actually exudes yang energy—his motivations are at least understandable to normal people.

Qi Ming: "Perhaps we can give him the information. You guys should tell him about Agamemus... or Dr. Chaoying, as you call him."

Seeing Qi Ming's heavy tone, Yu Yan and Tachibana recounted what they knew.

Suddenly appearing on Ganon, claiming to have been displaced during a war of aggression and swept up there, he helped Ganon improve its technology and even created the [Trafiza] to enhance its defense capabilities.

"His arm was bleeding and injured; he must have been shot by Staff Officer He Zhi."

"Trafiza, who can suppress Ultraman Dega's third form and whose combat power is at least at the upper B-class level, has finally been created."

After discovering Agamus's true identity, although Advisor He Zhi failed to kill Agamus due to the intervention of the Yapol people, he secretly informed secret organizations in other countries of Agamus's true identity.

The intention was to get them to help him bring him to justice, or at least prevent him from deceiving them and allowing Agamus to use resources from other countries to create machines to invade Earth.

He actually managed to sneak onto an alien planet... It's unbelievable.

Finally, Mikoto and Tachibana found a photo of Agamous and Queen Amaterasu. When Qi Ming saw the smiles on their faces, he couldn't hold back anymore.

During their conversation, Yu Yan and Tachibana's gazes kept lingering on Qi Ming's face, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

So handsome, and has a great presence, just like the sun.

His companion can transform into a giant of light, and another person has superb piloting skills, so he must be quite capable as well.

He's staring intently at Her Majesty Queen Amaterasu's photograph. Is he captivated by her beauty? Perhaps he's even worthy of her… Ugh, what's going on!

What's with that terrified expression? What's with that look of suppressed grief?

Qi Ming rubbed his eyes and said, "I have to protect my eyes, otherwise that photo will be the last thing I ever see in my life."

The two heavyweights, Amaterasu and Agamous, are entangled together, which is like binding Grimm's Fairy Tales and the Cthulhu Mythos into one book, and it's even an illustrated children's version!
Qi Ming took a few deep breaths and regained his composure. He looked at Tachibana and Yuina and said, "I know you can't accept this fact yet, but he will show his fangs soon."

Meanwhile, the battle in space has ended.

Orb stretched his body in the air, crossed his hands into a cross, and released light once again.

A dazzling torrent of white light swept across the universe, and the last five Specia were reduced to ashes in the light.

"Amazing!" Mikoto and Tachibana cheered as they watched the Giant of Light defeat the enemy that had almost wiped them out.

The massive Orb condensed into a stream of light that passed through the cabin wall and transformed back into [Kay].

"So, Senior Qi Ming, have I improved?" [Kai] looked at Qi Ming, then at Jugglus, with a "Praise me!" expression. Qi Ming asked Jugglus, "What do you think?"

Jugglus shook his head: "You've spent too much time on this, and you've revealed many flaws. You're still a long way from becoming a qualified warrior."

Qi Ming said, "It's good that there's progress. No one is born a qualified soldier; there's always a process of growth."

Kai suddenly asked curiously, "Senior Qi Ming, what was your first battle like?"

This question refers to the time when Qi Ming first transformed.

Qi Ming thought for a moment: "The first time was a bit of a rush, and we let two enemies escape in the chaos, leaving a hidden danger. Fortunately, it was resolved later."

[Kai]: "Amazing."

Jugglus Juggler also felt that he was already very capable of driving away two enemies in the first battle, and that he could find and kill the fleeing enemies later on, which further proved his meticulous attitude.

"Work hard, this universe needs you to become powerful too." Qi Ming patted Kai on the shoulder, then patted Jugglus on the shoulder.

Miyu and Tachibana got back into the driver's seat, and Qi Ming started a meeting with the others.

"Let me deploy the next phase of the operation."

"First, we'll go to 'In' planet and kill Dr. Genius and Quinn."

"In this way, no matter whether Queen Amaterasu transforms into the Goddess of War or not, no matter what she does, she won't cause any major trouble."

"Second, we'll return to Ganon, kill Agamus, and that will be more or less the end of the matter."

After those two sentences were spoken, everyone else fell silent, except for Kai, who applauded his senior, feeling that his senior's battle plan was very bold.

Ultra Warriors should always forge ahead!

Yu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Agamus, that's Dr. Asakage, right... He's a big shot on Ganon now. If you want to kill him based on your one-sided story, the higher-ups might not agree."

Tachibana thought to herself that they probably couldn't attack Dr. Genius either, because the Queen wanted to negotiate, and they had received orders not to attack.

Qi Ming: "I will try my best to explain things clearly and make you believe me."

After learning that nothing had happened in his hometown, Qi Ming felt much calmer and became more patient.

He even tried to persuade Queen Amaterasu—truly a combination of gentleness and courage.

Tachibana: "What if Her Majesty the Queen doesn't believe me?"

Qi Ming's tone changed: "Then I won't be surprised. We'll see who has the best skills. If you don't cooperate, I'll still kill him."

The unequivocal tone made Mikoto and Tachibana gasp for breath.

That's too domineering! Just because there's a Giant of Light backing him up, does he think he can do whatever he wants?

If Queen Amaterasu were to become a war goddess, you might not have a place to act so recklessly!

Upon hearing this, Kai and Jugglus Juggler reacted differently.

During their journey, Qi Ming had briefed Kai and Jugglus on the situation.

The situation of Queen Amaterasu can be roughly understood by Kai and Jugglus Juggler as follows: she inherited the throne because of the power of her bloodline, but she was still a flower in a greenhouse, so she was naive and hesitant when faced with evil.

This also extinguished Kai's original idea of ​​asking Queen Amaterasu for advice on "how to face the fate of transforming into a giant," and Jugglus Juggler was also afraid that he would be led astray.

As for Agamous's situation, they really didn't understand it at all.

Sphia killed your lover. Shouldn't you seek revenge on Sphia? Why did you kill the Earthling who fought alongside you?

Don't understand at all.

Kai stood up at this moment and asked Senior Qi Ming if he should take more care of the feelings of the people on Ganon Star and persuade them with reason and emotion.
Qi Ming countered, "Kai, do you think feelings are more important, or human life?"

Kai: "Of course it's life. Life is the most precious thing."

He strives to uphold the ideal of "no one being hurt, no one being sad".

Qi Ming: "Sometimes, even if we are not understood, we must still nip the evildoers' plans in the bud. In order to prevent the evildoers from causing bloodshed and creating even greater disasters, we need to make choices. You know what I mean?"

Jugglus admired Qi Ming's decisiveness. He said to [Kai], "Even without flowers and applause, you still have to fight. You should understand that, right?"

Kai: "I understand..."

Jugglus looked at Mikoto and Tachibana, whose expressions were strange: "Should we bring them along? Won't they get in our way?"

Qi Ming glanced at Kai: "I guess Kai also wants to gain the trust of the people on Ganon Star by helping them find their captain, so that our testimony will be more convincing."

Kai nodded quickly: "Yes, that will make communication easier!"

He still tried his best to resolve the issue in a way that was "acceptable to everyone," and he also felt that he couldn't just leave Mikoto and Tachibana alone.

Qi Ming also tried his best to take care of this junior's feelings, and having a spaceship was quite nice, as he could take a nap inside when he was tired from fighting.

Mikoto and Tachibana, standing to the side, were at a loss for words.

Although they were happy to have a powerful Warrior of Light accompanying them, the spaceship is ours after all, so they should at least ask for our opinion.

And this guy named Qi Ming, his arrogant and domineering manner is just too overbearing.

But both Kai, who can transform into a giant of light, and Jugglus Juggler, who has superb piloting skills, are willing to listen to him. What exactly are his abilities that allow him to become the leader of this small team?
