Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 346, Section 342: Integration Level 88%, A-Grade A from Star Gathering! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Kai exclaimed, "Jugglus, isn't that what you look like after you transform?!"

Within the starlight screen, Jugglus Juggler in his demon form is arm in arm with a man in a green uniform, with a giant, round sphere serving as their backdrop.

Qi Ming's eyes widened.

He recognized the green-clad man; he was Shinya Kaburagi, the host of the parasitic life form Cerebro from the original series.

He recognized the enormous sphere, its body riddled with holes; it was the four-dimensional monster, Bruton.

This is a scene from episode 15, "Four-Dimensional Frenzy," of the original Ultraman Zeta series!
In that world, Jugglus Juggler is the captain of the armory!

In the Star Gathering screen, Jugglus Juggler in his demon form said, "Actually, I came to help you, but there was no need to play a prank today. We're having a victory celebration."

Kai, standing next to Qi Ming, widened his eyes again: "It really is Jugglus Juggler's voice."

Jugglus, who was next to Qi Ming, was also confused: "How could this be? Could it be that the other side is... my parallel universe counterpart?"

Qi Ming nodded: "Correct answer."

This made Jugglus's mind wander. What would he be like in another world? Would he still not have become an Ultra Warrior? Would he even know [Kai]...?

Within the screen, Cerebro slowly retreated, while Jugglus Juggler in his demon form slashed forward with his sword. The next moment, he vanished from the screen.

Kai: "It's gone! What happened?!"

Qi Ming: "I guess he went to the toilet."

Jagula: "?"

Then, the star-studded scene changed continuously, like a moving camera, finally settling on the giant Bruton.

Qi Ming quickly threw the metal ball containing the distress message into the light screen.

The light curtain dissipated, the dial of Ultraman's random button rotated, and Bruton's silhouette appeared on the screen.

The four-dimensional monster—Bruton.
Integration level: 88%.
Rating: A.

Everyone was shocked, including Qi Ming.

Grade A?
Integration level 88%?

The highest integration level currently is only 80% for Gaia SV, so this 88% is just too frightening.

Huimei: "This is... the first [A-rank] to be gathered into the Star Gathering Formation. It must be very strong."

Dan Moroboshi: "That's the four-dimensional monster Bruton. In our three-dimensional world, it's a powerful monster that can control time and space, and it also has all sorts of powerful superpowers."

Qi Ming nodded; Moroboshi Dan's words were spot on.

The Bruton in "Zeta" is incredibly powerful in terms of combat strength alone. Zeta Gamma Future can completely overwhelm the Five Emperors, while Bruton can suppress Zeta Gamma Future. In addition, with its endless stream of various abilities, it would be no problem to reach the A-rank.

What he was concerned about was why the integration level was showing as 88%.

It's not that monsters can't have higher integration levels. Take Gomora as an example: regular Gomora is 60%, ferocious Gomora is 70%, and EX Gomora is 80%, which is perfectly fine.

But what's with this Bruton...? He doesn't have an advanced version either.

Hui Mei then wondered, "With an integration rate of 88%, does that mean this Bruton has something extra compared to a regular Bruton?"

Something more...

A flash of inspiration struck Qi Ming, and he understood.

The four-dimensional monster Bruton has appeared three times, in Ultraman, Mega Monster Battle Season 1, and in Ultraman Zeta, which was just featured in the Star Gathering scene.

The first two Brutons were killed by Ultraman and Gomora of [Ray], respectively. They were killed, and nothing happened.

After Bruton in "Ultraman Zeta" was killed... a Greza immediately appeared, which used the Five Emperors (transformed from Jugglus Juggler), Geed (Galactic Primal Form), and Zeta (Alpha Form) as balls.

Cerebro was completely stunned. In order to survive and continue the game, he had no choice but to lend the Belial Medal to the Ultra Warrior. This means that the Bruton he gathered contained a Greeza inside him!
If you get killed later... oh no, to put it another way, if you encounter an enemy you really can't beat, you can "spit" out the Greza inside and let it go on a rampage.

Moreover, in this situation, there's no need to worry about Greiza accidentally harming innocent people. If Greiza is cosmic garbage, then Bruton is the container specifically designed to hold that garbage, crushing it with their compatibility.

Given Bruton's protection, Greiza would instinctively avoid the area to avoid further imprisonment.

This trump card is much safer than risking your life to become Greza!
This is so exciting!

I knew that as long as I kept participating in the lottery, there would always be a chance to win a big prize!
"I feel great right now." Qi Ming stretched out his arms, a look of invincibility on his face.

He walked out of the room feeling refreshed, and suddenly wondered if his distress metal ball would be seen by Jugglus Juggler in Zeta.

If he came to this world, and the two Jugglus clashed together, the scene would be quite amusing.

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

Meanwhile, the defense force's most secret arsenal.

Commander Sahara, the top leader of the defense force, stood on the platform, gazing at a giant in red and silver before him—the repaired mechanical Seven.

At this moment, Military Attaché Saijo, the second-in-command of the defense force, came over to report: "TPC has focused all its attention on that towering tree, which is a good thing."

During this period, higher-ups instructed lower-ranking military personnel to keep a low profile and avoid conflicts with TPC members.

The purpose was to avoid attracting their attention and allow them to successfully complete the repair of the mechanical Seven left behind by the Salome aliens.

Seeing that the mechanical Seven had been repaired to the point of being 90% complete, Saijo Takeshi was very excited, feeling that his long-suffering was about to end.

He said, "The mechanical Seven, modified by new technology, will be stronger than the real Ultraman Seven. With this power, no one will be able to defy us anymore."

Commander Sahara was not so optimistic: "I never expected to be able to use it to rule the world. I just want to be able to maintain the dignity of our defense force."

"Besides, if such a big mess were to happen, the righteous Ultra Warriors wouldn't stand idly by."

Military officer Saijo hesitated for a moment:

"Are you worried that Mecha Seven isn't strong enough to defeat those Ultramen who might jump out and get in your way? I was just about to report that to you."

"According to the latest underground drilling research, a high-energy mineral called 'Victory Crystal' is found deep underground in [Falling Star Town].

"If we can use this energy to power our mechanical Seven, his combat power can be increased nine or even ten times!"

Commander Sahara frowned, about to speak, when suddenly, Military Attaché Kamiyama, a subordinate of Military Attaché Saijo, rushed over:

"Commander Sahara, Commander Saijo, latest situation."

"Just now, a magic circle opened on our No. 5 Armory, and a white dragon-shaped robot descended from there!"

Commander Sahara and Military Attaché Saijo exclaimed in surprise: "A white dragon-shaped robot has appeared in the magic circle?"

The two left in surprise and headed in that direction.

Soon, at Factory No. 5, the high command of the defense force saw a dragon-shaped robot with a white base color. Its head was connected to a tail-like mechanical component, and it had a red energy core on its chest.

If Qi Ming were here, he would recognize the origin of this giant robot at a glance.

This is the arbiter of civilization, [Galatron].

I'm still stuck on this chapter, so I'll stop here for today.

I'm still figuring out how to make Carmilla's entrance flow more smoothly.

Does anyone have any enemy characters or drama series they'd like to see? If all else fails, I'll have Qi Ming transform into Triga to attack the Alien Empire and bring out Carmilla.
