Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 344. The Death of Queen Amaterasu (Fourth update, please vote)

Queen Amaterasu, completely unaware of what she was about to face, continued to speak eloquently:

"I just sensed Quinn's sadness together with Shohei!"

“Quin is very likely a victim too! Even if you don’t allow it, I’m going to see it and find out what it really thinks.”

Hmm... that's right, in "The Beginning of the Origin", that's exactly what Queen Amaterasu did.

Despite having already been tricked and suffered a heavy loss once before, she couldn't sit still when Kuin used the self-inflicted injury ruse. Seeing Kuin being beaten hurt her more than seeing her own people die.

He immediately forgot the pain once the wound healed, claiming that he should not be afraid of danger for the sake of his ideals, and once again became the God of War to find Quinn, and was poisoned by the puppet again.

However, in this world... her injuries hadn't even healed before her illness flared up again.

The God of War was about to step forward to mediate the fight, but as soon as Queen Amaterasu activated her attack, a tearing pain shot through her right leg. She staggered forward and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

She struggled to stay upright, but the excruciating pain from the injuries Qi Ming had inflicted on her kept washing over her, making it difficult for her to even muster the strength.

"Go ahead and drown in your ideals." Qi Ming glanced down at her, then charged up the Zepelion Ray and struck the [Viel Alien] who was unable to resist or dodge.

"Whoosh!" The milky white light struck the target directly, and the [Vieel Alien]'s body stiffened before exploding into pieces.

A green dot of light appeared and was absorbed into Ultraman's random key, where it was transformed into 1 point of Star Gift.

This scene made Queen Amaterasu's heart skip a beat.

Another life has passed away before my eyes.

“You’re next to die.” Qi Ming looked at Queen Amaterasu: “No matter how noble your purpose, this is the end result of running rampant on Earth.”

The next moment, Qi Ming arrived in front of the God of War and delivered a vicious hook punch that slammed heavily into her abdomen.

"Ugh!" Queen Amaterasu gasped in pain, the excruciating pain in her stomach causing her to curl up like a shrimp.

Qi Ming followed up with a whip kick, slamming it hard into the side of the God of War. Queen Amaterasu let out a scream that was not human, and rolled on the ground like a rag doll. The intense pain made her vision go black in waves.

"Tiga, what are you doing? Stop it!" Shohei shouted when he saw this.

Not only did they ignore our advice, but they also went to such extremes!
Feeling the same way as Queen Amaterasu, he quickly experienced the excruciating pain and rolled on the ground in agony.

"Shohei, don't go over there! Your queen just helped the aliens, and Tiga might see him as an enemy!" Yui desperately stopped him.

Indeed, ordinary citizens couldn't hear the conversation between the few people. When they saw the God of War appear to stop Tiga, they assumed that he was Tiga's enemy, the enemy of peace, and they all thought it was a good fight.

"Well done, you fool who doesn't know what's good for him." Saijo Nagi, who was helping to evacuate the citizens, knew the inside story and also felt that Queen Amaterasu deserved it.

On the field, Tiga delivered another elbow strike to the Goddess of War's back, knocking her directly to the ground.

"Farewell, Queen Amaterasu, take one last look at this world." With that, Qi Ming concentrated his energy in his right palm and delivered a powerful chop to the God of War's shoulder, causing the God of War to disintegrate.

The unconscious Amaterasu Queen appeared on the lawn, and Tiga grabbed her in his right hand.

Then, Tiga waved his hand, and several green lights were drawn into the Viel aliens' spaceship. Carrying these things, Tiga flew away into the distance.

"Wait, where is Ultraman taking Queen Amaterasu?" Captain Shinra exclaimed anxiously.

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

Half a minute later, at the TPC maritime base.

After reverting to his original form, Qi Ming wore a gas mask. He held the flowers left behind by the [Viere Alien] in his left hand and pushed a stretcher carrying the unconscious Amaterasu Queen in his right hand, requisitioning a laboratory.

"Minister Yin, seal off this area. No one is allowed to enter until I come out," Qi Ming ordered.

"Understood." Minister Yin of the Security Department immediately mobilized manpower.

After confirming that everything was safe, Qi Ming closed the door, looked at the sleeping Queen Amaterasu, and arranged the flowers left by the [Viere aliens] around her.

The green pollen naturally drifted out and was absorbed into Amaterasu's body.

Qi Ming pulled out an instruction manual from his pocket: "One yuan for six potted plants, and it should be able to erase the memories in half an hour at most."

Goodbye, Queen Amaterasu, who always talked about ideals and peace but always stood with the villains.

Half an hour later, Qi Ming took out the instrument left behind by the [Viel Alien] and scanned Queen Amaterasu's brain to confirm that the memory erasure was very thorough this time.

Very well, Queen Amaterasu is now a blank slate; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's brain dead.

The next moment, she opened her eyes, which were empty.

This reminded Qi Ming of what the reporter Genlai said to Komon in episode sixteen, "Lost," of Nexus: "Do you know what it means to have your memories erased? All the lives we've lived so far will be gone!"

"If it's completely gone, that's a good thing. Out with the old, in with the new."

Qi Ming connected the USB-like device to Queen Amaterasu's head and began inputting new memories.

"You are Amaterasu, the Queen of Ganon. You can transform into a powerful giant [God of War]."

"We must unconditionally obey Qi Ming's orders and stand firmly on his side."

"When faced with evil forces, fight back resolutely and protect your people..."

As Qi Mingxin's new memories were inputted, Queen Amaterasu opened her eyes, and her empty eyes began to shine.

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

"Oh no!" Under the Tree of Life, Shohei jolted awake, enduring the excruciating pain as he sat up abruptly: "Queen Amaterasu, Queen Amaterasu, how could this happen!"

"What's wrong? Do you know where Her Majesty Queen Amaterasu is?" Captain Shinra asked hurriedly.

"My connection with Queen Amaterasu is fading! I can feel that she's about to leave us!" Shohei said anxiously, as if he was about to cry.

"Huh?" Yui was taken aback.

Tachibana panicked, wondering what it meant that Queen Amaterasu was no longer alive.

Did Qi Ming really kill Queen Amaterasu? That Ultraman is too ruthless!
She grabbed Shohei's shoulder: "Cheer up, take us to Her Majesty Queen Amaterasu quickly."

"Okay...okay!" Despite the excruciating pain, Shohei led the group to TPC as quickly as possible.

Minister Yin stepped in and stopped them: "No one is allowed to enter here."

Shohei clutched his head: "Queen Amaterasu, she's right ahead... no!"

The shattering sound in his mind made him scream.

Because he clearly felt that the spiritual bond between himself and Her Majesty Queen Amaterasu had been completely severed.

How could this happen... how could this happen!
Upon hearing this, Captain Senluo was about to step forward, but Minister Yin raised his hand, and the five security personnel behind him immediately raised their guns and aimed them at Senluo and his group. Staring at the dark muzzles of the guns, the men dared not make a move; they were not Qi Ming and could not handle such firepower.

"What should we do? Should we look for Captain Moroboshi? I think he's a really nice guy, or maybe [Kai]?" Tachibana asked anxiously, looking at Captain Shinra.

"They're all out here right now..." Captain Senluo felt that distant water couldn't quench a nearby fire, and at this time, they could only rely on them.

Just as he was about to take a gamble, the door behind Minister Yin opened, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Qi Ming, along with Queen Amaterasu, who was limping and using a cane, came out.

"Your Majesty Queen Amaterasu, are you alright? That's wonderful!" Tachibana exclaimed with delight upon seeing Queen Amaterasu.

Only Captain Shinra sensed something was amiss.

The eyes are the windows to the soul, but Her Majesty Queen Amaterasu's eyes look a little different than before...

It's so sharp, it exudes the aura of a true king.

"It's alright now," Qi Ming said to Minister Yin, who saluted Qi Ming and led the other security personnel away.

"Your Majesty Queen Amaterasu, are you alright!" Shohei, enduring the pain, rushed towards Queen Amaterasu.

Amaterasu's eyes flashed with cold light. Just as Shohei lunged forward, she suddenly raised her intact left leg and delivered a powerful knee strike to Shohei's abdomen.

"Ugh!" Xiangping's eyes bulged out, and he spat out a mouthful of bile. He clutched his stomach and knelt on the ground, his face turning deathly pale.

The blow struck his already injured abdomen precisely, causing him so much pain that he couldn't even make a sound. He could only twitch silently with his mouth wide open like a stranded fish, further exacerbating the already tormented pain in his body.

"Insolent fool!" Queen Amaterasu snorted coldly, leaving everyone stunned by the scene.

Queen Amaterasu was just having an affair with this guy named Shohei, so why did she suddenly turn her back on him?

Queen Amaterasu coldly looked at Captain Shinra and Tachibana: "Were you blind just now? Why didn't you protect me?"

The tone of the reprimanding tone made Shinra and Tachibana exchange bewildered glances.

This aggressive tone is completely different from before.

Why is it that after only a short time, Her Majesty Queen Amaterasu woke up as if she were a completely different person?

"Alright, Amaterasu, don't be so harsh on them anymore. After all, they don't know that you're a completely new person now." Qi Ming waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Queen Amaterasu placed her left hand on her chest and gave Qi Ming a knightly salute: "Yes, Lord Qi Ming."

Master Qi Ming?

This action nearly made Captain Shinra and Tachibana's jaws drop to the ground. Why would Queen Amaterasu be so respectful to someone who had twice severely injured her and hindered her "ideals"?
There must be a problem.

"Queen Amaterasu, what's wrong? Why?" Shohei struggled to lift his head and look at Queen Amaterasu.

"What I'm doing is none of your business!" Queen Amaterasu looked at Shohei with disgust.

“I can explain that.” Qi Ming patted Captain Senluo on the shoulder: “You guys used to be very annoyed that Queen Amaterasu always acted recklessly, not using her power for the right purpose, but instead messing things up and making a mess of the situation, right?”

Captain Shinra nodded blankly: "Her Majesty Queen Amaterasu does have some immature aspects, but I believe she will grow and mature..."

Qi Ming interrupted: "Growth? What is the price of growth? Can one really grow? Impossible."

"Her vortex-like black hole thinking is fixed, so to end her mistakes, we have to change it from the root."

Tachibana realized something: "At the root of it?"

Qi Ming coughed and said, "Do you know what 'wiping a file' means? Or to put it another way, 'reinstalling the system.' I just formatted her memory."

"Format!" Shohei, lying on the ground like a dead dog, felt a tremor run through him.

Qi Ming smiled and said, "Yes, she has completely forgotten everything from the past."

"But don't worry, I never leave a mess behind. I immediately made her remember some things she needed to remember, so she knew her identity and responsibilities."

After saying that, Qi Ming clapped his hands and asked Queen Amaterasu, "Amaterasu, what do you think your current duties are?"

A glint flashed in Queen Amaterasu's eyes:
"Of course, we should recover from our injuries as soon as possible, and when Quinn and Dr. Genius arrive, we'll use the power of the God of War to tear them to pieces."

“These guys dared to invade Ganon and slaughter my people. They will surely pay for their crimes in blood.”

"Lord Qi Ming is our benefactor of Ganon. If any other entities that are detrimental to you appear on Earth, I will also help you resolve them."

Qi Ming snapped his fingers: "That's fantastic, this is the true Queen of Ganon."

Queen Amaterasu stretched her body, completely devoid of her former ladylike demeanor: "I really don't know when this leg will heal. I need to recover quickly so that I can be considered a qualified fighter."

Qi Ming said, "You can ask Team Leader Zhuxing about this; he has experience."

He said to the stunned Shinra and Tachibana, "Look, now you Ganon have a dutiful queen, Earth has a reliable ally who knows how to repay kindness, and the bloodline of the God of War has a dependable user. A world where no one gets hurt is complete!"

Is it really true that no one was hurt...?

Although Captain Shinra and Tachibana have repeatedly hoped that Queen Amaterasu could mature and fulfill her responsibilities as queen.

But when that moment arrived, both were filled with confusion, unsure of how to face this new Amaterasu Queen.

Shohei, lying on the ground, was in utter despair.

Memory determines personality and what kind of person you are.

Qi Ming deleted Queen Amaterasu's memories, which is equivalent to deleting her past personality, or rather, her soul.

The Amaterasu Queen before us is nothing more than a humanoid weapon that has taken over her past body.

His Queen Amaterasu is dead!
That delicate, sensitive, melancholic, and selfless Queen Amaterasu is gone forever!

Under the immense impact, Shohei's head slammed heavily against the cold floor, and he immediately lost consciousness.

"What the hell is this guy? Is he a mad dog that escaped from a mental hospital?" Queen Amaterasu rolled her eyes.
