Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 318, Section 314: Renlong and the Rainbow Serpent God, Forcibly Conscripting Men (3.6K)

When it's late at night on Ganon, it's 8 a.m. in Japan.

Hikari arrived at the GUTS headquarters and addressed the officers on duty, saying, "There might be a monster appearing today. I think we should be on guard."

"A monster!" Dan Moroboshi immediately stood up.

Hikari produced an ancient book titled "The Taiping Fengtu Ji" (Record of the Customs and Practices of Taiping).

"This is a book I've been reading recently. It says that a monster called the 'Lord of Wrath' is sleeping in 'Lion Hill Town'."

"It awakens once every 333 years and brings unimaginable disasters to people."

"And today marks the 333rd year since its last awakening."

The mountain team members were taken aback for a moment, then suppressed a laugh and said:
"Dr. Hikari, you must be joking with us. We, the Victory Team, believe in science."

"In ancient times, people liked to attribute natural disasters to the work of demons, and they regarded wind, rain, thunder and lightning as divine intervention. Such legends are everywhere."

Educating Hikari requires a scientific approach... The mountain team is getting stronger and stronger.

Hikari remained calm: "No, although people in ancient times were limited by their level of technology, they were unable to understand the essential laws behind the phenomena."

"But they were able to use their insight to build a complete system of experience, using the method of 'summarizing the rules' to warn future generations."

He presented the book to everyone, and Saijo Nagi read aloud from it: "On the day when the sun is obscured, at noon, the lord of the Destroyer of Wrath will awaken."

Hikari: "It means that on the day when the sun casts a shadow, at noon, the monster that destroys the lord, known as [Horoboros], will awaken."

Kishida: "The days when the sun casts a shadow are a mysterious phenomenon of sunspot expansion—and the cycle of this phenomenon is exactly 333 years."

In the mountains: "Is it a coincidence? If Qi Ming were here, he could figure it out and know whether it's true or not. Does it really take him that long to go back to his hometown to visit relatives?"

Before rushing into the gates of hell, Qi Ming made many preparations.

He left a handwritten letter telling everyone at TPC that he was taking a vacation to go back to his hometown and spend time with his family, and asked them not to disturb him during this time.

If anyone else were to take this kind of "spontaneous trip," the TPC executives would definitely think there was something wrong with them, at best they would be fired, at worst they would be thoroughly investigated.

But in Qi Ming's case, this capriciousness became perfectly reasonable, to the point that the staff officers had no doubts.

Kishida pondered: "Based on my understanding of China, it's possible that a relative in his hometown is getting married and he's going to help out, or perhaps he's attending a funeral?"

Hui Mei forced a smile: "Anyway, if things get bad here, Qi Ming will definitely come back as soon as possible."

To avoid revealing any problems, Dan Moroboshi coughed and steered the conversation back to the "prophecy of the Taihei Fudoki".

He believed that this "sign" could not be ignored, and ordered the Victory Team to deploy firepower in Shishioka Town and evacuate the citizens there.

He then messaged Aizen Makoto, explaining what had happened and telling him to be prepared.

Aizen Makoto: "In this world where demons and monsters run rampant, the possibility of such myths coming true is very high. Leave it to me!"

By 11:59 a.m., the crowd had been evacuated.

Security personnel set up a long cordon to prevent outsiders from breaking in.

But someone still stood silently in the hidden forest, watching everything with a cold gaze, as if waiting for the show to begin.

That was Aihara Ryu possessed by Cerebro.

The Flying Swallow 1 and Flying Swallow 2 satellites hovered high in the air, providing surveillance.

"Beep beep beep." The detection device started alarming, and Kishida immediately exclaimed, "Geothermal heat is rising rapidly! A huge life form has been detected! Something's really coming!"

"Boom!" The next moment, smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and a huge object emerged from the ground.

Blue skin covered in thick white fur, orange claws gleaming in the sunlight, the beast's form standing upright.

The ferocious beast, [Horoboros], has arrived.

"Is this the mythical Holopolos? It actually exists!" Yamanaka exclaimed.

Nagi Saijo, inside Flying Swallow II, said, "Now, fire!"

"Whoosh!" Flying Swallow No. 1 and Flying Swallow No. 2 simultaneously fired their spike cannons, sweeping towards [Horoboros].

"Whoosh." [Holoporoz] exerted force with its feet, instantly leaving its original position, its figure leaving afterimages as it dodged the laser.

Such speed! Such quick reaction time!
"They've gone behind us!" someone in the mountains shouted.

Holopolos appeared near the Flying Swallow No. 1 in an instant, his orange claws reaching for its tail fin.

He pulled the control lever sharply in the mountains, but was still grazed and immediately spiraled downwards.

The team members in the mountains were involved in a plane crash.

"This guy!" Saijo Nagi suddenly spun around, releasing the Texas Beam as the opponent withdrew his strength.

"Boom!" Holopolos was hit by the beam, but he only cried out a few times, appearing to have suffered no fatal injury.

Not only is it fast and strong, but it also has thick skin and high defense. This monster's physical attributes are too formidable!
The next moment, Holopolos turned his head sharply, his wild, scarlet eyes fixed on Flying Swallow II.

Kishida, inside the Flying Swallow II, watched this scene and got goosebumps all over his body. A feeling of fear filled his heart.

“This is bad…” Saijo Nagi pulled the control stick sharply, and the Flying Swallow II suddenly climbed into the sky.

"Whoosh!" Holopolos leaped up with a powerful jump. It couldn't fly, but this jump actually reached the height of the Flying Swallow II.

He can jump 800 meters in one leap!

"Crack!" Holopoloz's orange claws slashed down again, and even Saijo Nagi was unable to react in this situation. The Flying Swallow II also crashed while emitting black smoke.

Double kill!

Aizen Makoto, standing to the side, watched this scene with a bitter expression.

"Such speed, I really don't want to face an opponent like this." Even so, he immediately activated his Whirlwind Transformation.

"Grant me the power of bonds!" With his shout, a fifty-meter-tall Black Orb appeared, flew upwards, and caught the falling Flying Swallow II.

"Black Orb!" Kishida, who was dizzy and disoriented, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the giant's eyes.

Black Orb slowly descended, carrying the Flying Swallow II, and thoughtfully placed it next to the Flying Swallow I. Then, holding the Holy Sword, he faced Horoboros once again.

The fierce battle has begun.

In the original "Robb" series, there was also a Holopolos, who, when going all out, completely overwhelmed the Black Orb and Rossobulu brothers there.

In this world, Makoto Aizen, after experiencing numerous major crises and fighting many life-or-death battles, no longer treats being an Ultra Warrior with the mindset of playing a game.

After Qi Ming's special training, it was able to fight Horoboros to a standstill for a time. Aizen Makoto's heavy sword swept towards Horoboros with great force, but the latter used its speed to dodge the attack and circled behind Black Orb.

Just as it was about to launch a sneak attack with its claws, Aizen Makoto suddenly kicked back, sending it flying.

"Luckily, I reacted in time. Qi Ming's reaction training is really useful," Aizen Makoto thought to himself.

The two continued their fierce battle, while several gazes were focused on the battlefield.

Not only Cerebro, but also the remnants of the Nonmalt race, and other malevolent figures from space are rapidly approaching Earth...

"If only Mr. Himeya Jun could come and help... No, he just fought that goat-horned Thunder Beast yesterday and needs to rest now."

Aizen Makoto tilted his head, then simply put down the Orb Greatsword and fought Horoboros directly with his fists.

Euler, Euler, Euler!

Mudamudamudamuda!

After a brief exchange, the two were evenly matched and retreated a few steps to create some distance between them.

"His strength and speed are no less than mine... Could this guy be an A-rank...?"

Aizen Makoto was panting heavily, and Holopolos also realized that the guy in front of him was not someone to mess with.

"Looks like I'll have to use a sword to take it down." Orb picked up the greatsword again and started spinning the sword disc.

"Orb Flame Sword!" A ring of fire swept towards Holopolos, but the latter dodged it at the last second thanks to his terrifying speed.

This drove Aizen Makoto absolutely crazy. Why can't you just stand there and let me hit you?!

"We need to limit its speed, light. Do you have any ideas?" Dan Moroboshi asked, watching the scene remotely through a surveillance camera.

Hikari said:

"The Taiping Fengtu Ji records that the roaring sound of the sea tide can calm Holopolos down and allow him to sleep again."

"It seems that this place called Shishioka Town was originally a sea. I think it's worth a try."

Huimei immediately took control of the speakers near Holopoloz and sent a video of ocean waves.

Upon hearing the sound of the ocean waves, Holopolos paused, seemingly lost in thought, savoring something.

"Will it really work?" Aizen Makoto quietly raised his greatsword, intending to take the opportunity to kill it.

The next moment, Holopolos roared even more fiercely, unleashing several bolts of lightning that swept in all directions.

It doesn't eat meal replacements!
"It's no use. Since this guy used to sleep in the ocean, shouldn't we get Agul to come over?" Aizen Makoto shouted, while protecting the two Hyuga No. 1s behind him.

In the dense forest, Sereblo gave a sinister smile and tossed the conch shell in his hand.

Unlike Hikari, who only read about Holopolos in the Taiping Fengtu Ji this morning, Cerebro knew about the monsters hiding there much earlier.

So after recovering from the bites inflicted by the native insects, it came to the scene to investigate and dug out the conch.

According to its speculation, without this conch shell, Holopolos would continue to be destroyed indefinitely.

"Well done, Holopolos! Destroy everything! Kill all humans!"

The remnants of the Nummarte tribe also appeared, and seeing the even more ferocious Holopoloz, they couldn't help but shout.

As the Ngumalt people who were once driven into the sea, they have some understanding of the Holopoloz, a place that once lived by the ocean, within this mixed worldview.

The next moment, a dragon's roar suddenly came from afar.

Holopolos, who was about to go berserk and sweep across the land, froze upon hearing the dragon's roar.

Black Orb could clearly sense that its wildness had subsided considerably, and its body tensed up, appearing somewhat nervous.

"Renlong!" The expressions of the remnants of the Nongmarte people also froze.

A second, even more majestic dragon roar followed, making Holopolos increasingly uneasy and hesitant.

I want to run wild, but I'm not quite brave enough to do so.

“Oh right, it’s a native Earth monster, so it definitely knows about Renlong, but it seems a bit unruly.” Aizen Makoto realized this.

The next moment, the sky changed dramatically. The clear sky suddenly darkened, and a terrifying storm was brewing in the clouds.

Makoto Aizen, now transformed into Black Orb, sensed that there seemed to be a terrifying presence within the storm, warning Holopolos.

"The god in the storm... is it the 'Rainbow Serpent God' that Qi Ming mentioned? Has it come too?" Hui Mei immediately thought of this.

That was the legendary "god" who could control the natural elements.

"Ugh..." Holopolos, no longer as wild as before, lowered his head and sobbed softly.

It was just a ferocious wolf king, but after being warned by both Renlong and Hongsheshen, it turned into a docile dog.

If you offend both of these big shots at the same time, you won't be able to survive on Earth.

The next moment, a third dragon roar resounded.

Holopolos jolted awake, clasped his hands together, bowed to the nearby Black Orb and the two Flying Swallow No. 1s, and then began digging, running underground.

Although it caused trouble, in this world surrounded by enemies, Renlong and Hongsheshen did not pursue the matter.

It was simply "forcibly conscripted" so that it would remain useful in the future to fight against extraterrestrial invaders.

Sereblo was stunned to see Holopoloz return to the earth.

What's happening here.

Can you do this?

This planet is so complicated, I feel like I can't handle it.

The update consists of 6,000 words.

It's going to be featured tomorrow, so I'll have to update at least 10,000 words. The final battle is about to begin.

Furthermore, the discussion of the Earth line is not meant to be slow; rather, the Ganon line and the Earth line will definitely converge. Please trust my arrangements.

If all else fails, I'll write another chapter. Today I'll show you what my Earth timeline arrangement means.
