Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 319, Section 315: Stealing Ultraman's Life (3.8K)

"Is it over...? What a hasty ending."

Seeing Horoboros slink back underground after receiving a double warning, Aizen Makoto couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that the only ways to calm this ferocious wolf, besides soothing and persuasion, are warnings and pressure.

The survivors of the Nonmarte tribe left with some regret, but not too much disappointment.

Even without the Kirieloid gods as their backers, they have not given up their idea of ​​taking revenge on humanity and reclaiming Earth. They are currently in talks with "domestic foreign forces" about cooperation.

The Nummart people, who have lived in the ocean for a long time, are familiar with the ocean and are determined to use its power to create an Ultraman who stands on their side!
If Gaia favors humans, then we should find a way to make Agul favor Nonmart.

The ocean covers 70% of the Earth, so Agul in his prime must be stronger than Gaia. They will be the ones to win in the end!

"I feel really bad right now..." Cerebro stumbled away, thinking it best not to make any rash moves.

This planet is too complicated, and there are too many unexpected events.

"But you've escaped with your life," Aizen Makoto thought, looking at the hole Holopolos had dug.

He felt that if Holopolos continued its reckless behavior, it would surely be the one to die.

At worst, we can have Captain Moroboshi come over, use Ultra Telekinesis to control it for two or three seconds, and then unleash our strongest finishing move to take it down.

That was a truly exhilarating combination move.

"But at least I can finally go home..." Aizen Makoto breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Horoboros had escaped.

The dragon's roar ceased, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and Renlong and the Rainbow Serpent God left. He too prepared to return home.

But the next moment, a shocking change occurred.

A massive figure appeared, entirely red with large ears, carrying a lantern in its left hand and a spiked club in its right.

This is [Drobon], the thief monster that appeared in the penultimate episode of "Taro" called "Stealing Ultra's Fate"!

A rope extended from his lantern and secured the fallen Flying Swallow II tightly. With a sudden jolt, Saijo Nagi and Kishida inside were knocked unconscious before they could react.

"What! When did this guy appear?!" This sudden change stunned everyone.

"Are you trying to take advantage of their misfortune?" Dan Moroboshi believed that Dorobon wanted to use the chaos that Horoboros had caused to deal with the remaining troops on the field.

Aizen Makoto immediately raised the Holy Sword Orb, but [Dorobone] immediately warned: "Don't make any rash moves if you don't want anything to happen to them."

After saying that, he placed the spiked club on the cockpit of the Flying Swallow II, its threat self-evident.

It can crush Saijo Nagi and Kishida inside at any time.

"Using hostages as a threat? That's despicable. What do you want? Do you want to invade Earth?" Black Orb didn't dare to attack for a moment.

The Ultra Warriors, of course, cannot disregard the lives of the hostages.

Dorobon: "I have no interest in the earth; this little temple is not big enough for a Buddha like me."

"The universe is getting more and more chaotic now, with wars raging everywhere. This is a great opportunity to rise above others."

"Would you like to join us in building a great cause?"

Aizen Makoto flatly refused: "What kind of great cause is it to do bad things? I won't help you!"

Dorobone: "You won't help? Fine, let's change the terms. Exchange your life for your life. Give me the precious gem that is as important as your life, so that I can increase my power, and I will return you to you."

A precious gem in life...

Aizen Makoto glanced at his chest; Dorobon was referring to the circular color timer on his chest.

In the original "Taro" series, Dorobon used a hostage tactic, forcing Ultraman Jack to hand over the color timer on his chest in exchange for the hostages he was holding.

"How did you get to Earth? Why didn't the radar detect you?" Aizen Makoto wanted to buy time and see if Moroboshi Dan Hikari could react and resolve the crisis.

Dorobone: "Radar? I bought some good stuff from the cosmic merchant; it can completely conceal my presence."

"Alright, enough talk. If you don't hand over the gem on your chest within ten seconds, I'll kill them, then kill you to take your gem."

"You've just finished a fierce battle, you must be exhausted!"

The tactic of stalling for time failed, and Aizen Seiichi felt extremely conflicted.

What to do, what to do? The color timer is as important to the Ultra Warriors as their heart, it is the main source of their energy.

Without this, I can no longer transform. Although I can save my life by deactivating the transformation, I will also lose the qualification to become an Ultraman.

This is his lifeline!

But people can't be left unrescued either; the Ultra Warriors certainly can't stand by and watch someone die.

If an Ultraman warrior stands by and does not help someone in distress, is he still an Ultraman warrior?

Can anyone tell me what to do in this situation?
Oh right... [Senior Hong Kai]!
Think about it carefully, if it were Senior Hong Kai, what would he do in this situation?
After hesitating for a few seconds, Aizen Makoto said, "Okay, I'll give you the things."

Dorobon yelled, "As expected of an Ultra Warrior, you're truly amazing! There are two people inside, I'll give you half first."

He took Kishida out of the box, placed it on the ground, and then gestured for Aizen Makoto to throw the color timer over.

He didn't even come to get it himself. I was planning to stab him while he was getting it, but now I've lost my last chance...

Aizen Makoto sighed inwardly, and finally, with trembling hands, he struggled to remove the color timer from his chest.

The moment the color timer was lost, the colors of Black Orb's body blurred, his eyes dimmed, and he staggered to his knees.

In an instant, he lost all his strength and abilities.

"Good, good, good!" After confirming that the latter had no power to resist, Dorobon decisively stepped forward, took out Black Orb's color timer, and put it on his chest.

At the same time, Black Orb's body went completely limp, leaving only "a skin".

"Wow, so this is the power of the Ultra Warriors! It's amazing!" He tossed the Flying Swallow II containing Saijo Nagi aside, feeling the surge of power and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"I've heard there are other Ultra Warriors active on Earth. Great. I'll come back after I've gotten used to this power. Maybe I'll even have some new gains." After saying that, Dorobon flew into the sky and left Earth.

Half a minute later, Black Orb's human skin dissipated, his face pale, and Aizen Makoto, having deactivated his transformation, appeared in the same spot. Luckily, he wasn't the real Ultraman, or he would have been finished.

But forcibly removing the color timer from his body still caused him excruciating pain, as if all the bones in his body had been removed.

Ignoring his physical exhaustion and pain, he hurriedly took out the Orb Ring NEO from his pocket and found that the once shining crystal had become dull and lifeless.

"This is terrible. I can't transform until I find my color timer." Aizen Makoto was extremely distressed.

After going through countless hardships, he finally became an Ultraman warrior, only to personally give away his right to transform.

He was in a lot of pain, extremely uncomfortable.

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

When Saijo Nagi woke up from her coma, she saw Aizen Makoto with a melancholy expression.

"Vice Captain, are you alright? That's great! I would have been at a huge loss if something had happened to you." Aizen Makoto's face lit up with joy when he saw that she was alright, but then he returned to his melancholy.

"What happened? That white wolf-like monster is gone, right?" Saijo Nagi asked, rubbing her head.

Dan Moroboshi, who was also standing by, explained the whole story, and Nagi Saijo's expression changed drastically upon hearing it.

"Are you crazy? Why don't you just attack directly?!" Saijo Nagi, equally agitated, demanded of Aizen Makoto.

In her view, her own life was far less valuable than Aizen Makoto's ability to transform into Ultraman.

If she had been awake at the time, she would definitely have chosen to end her own life, allowing Aizen Makoto to fight without any scruples.

Aizen Makoto tilted his head: "I once heard a very philosophical saying, 'When you want to become a hero, you have already lost the right to become a hero.'"

"Can this statement also be reversed? When I lose the power to become a hero, I have already become a hero?"

"Vice Captain Saijo Nagi, this kind of scene is actually very common. Ultra Warriors sometimes have to make sacrifices to protect humanity."

"Giving up my ability to transform in order to protect humanity... That's amazing! Such a resume is top-tier even in the entire hero world. It's so impressive! Oh yeah! Now no one can deny that I'm an Ultra Warrior!"

"Alright, Vice-Captain Saijo Nagi, don't look at me like that. If I'm not a hero without that, then it means I'm not qualified to have it—what a philosophical statement, hehehehe."

But he quickly changed his tone, adopting a melancholy and somber demeanor.

“Mr. Hong Kai…you saved me back then, and now I’m using my own strength to save others. If you could see me now, you would be very pleased…you would be proud of me.”

“Mr. Hong Kai, I really want to see you. I really want you to personally affirm me and praise me.”

He was all excited just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye he's lost his enthusiasm again; it's suspicious that he has a split personality.

Saijo Nagi stared blankly at this scene.

Dan Moroboshi lowered his voice: "Actually, it must be very sad for him to lose his transformation ability. Let him indulge himself for a while."

He called Saijo Nagi outside, intending to give Aizen Makoto some quiet space.

"I remember Qi Ming saying that you are very likely to receive light in the future and become an Ultra Warrior."

"Instead of feeling guilty and blaming yourself, I hope you can remember this and truly understand the meaning of 'protection'."

"Remember how President Aizen Makoto risked his life to save you, and help others in the same way in the future, understand?"

Saijo Nagi nodded blankly: "I understand."

The next moment, her PDI communicator rang. After opening it, her expression changed: "There's another new incident!"

The door behind him suddenly swung open, and Aizen Makoto walked out like a madman: "Is that guy back? Is he?"

"Quickly, Captain Moroboshi, if you work with Jun Himeya, you can definitely take him down and get my Color Timer back!"

She was just pretending to be relieved, but she was actually extremely bothered.

Even the usually calm and emotionless Saijo Nagi was startled: "No... it's a monster vibration wave, a monster has appeared."

This attack power has returned to the level of the "Qiming era".

The Flying Swallow II, capable of firing the Super Texas Beam, has just been destroyed, so now Jun Himeya is the only one left to fight.

In other words—only Jun Himeya is capable of fighting now.

"Oh, is that so... Okay." Aizen Makoto looked dejected again, collapsing weakly to the ground as if he were about to turn into liquid.

Dan Moroboshi comforted him, "It's alright, President Aizen. Didn't that monster say it would be back soon? Just be prepared, defeat it, and get your Color Timer back, then you can transform again."

Aizen Makoto scratched his head: "I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat him. That guy got my Color Timer, so he must be super strong now."

"What if Mr. Himeya Jun makes a mistake? If only Qi Ming were here, he would definitely have a solution!"

Hearing Aizen Makoto mention Qi Ming's name, Saijo Nagi felt a pang of nostalgia.

If Qi Ming were also on Earth, he would surely have found a way to save Aizen Makoto's life in that situation, instead of forcing him to hand over the Color Timer.

After Makoto Aizen lost his ability to transform, Nexus is now the only Ultra Warrior left on Earth.

In the period that follows, Jun Himeya will have to face all the crises on this frequently attacking Earth all by himself.

This made Saijo Nagi think of the sayings "one tree cannot support the whole tree" and "one hand cannot clap".

Is it really possible?
Qi Ming, where are you? We need you here.
