Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 412, Chapter 408: Victory Sanctuary vs. Yapool (First Update)
On NHK television, Military Attaché Saijo, the second-in-command of the Defense Forces, is passionately delivering his "comeback declaration."

"Fellow citizens, through our unremitting efforts, we have created the powerful and fast Mechanical Seven, which is operated by well-trained soldiers and has no time limit for operation. In every aspect, it is undoubtedly stronger than the real Ultraman!"

"Our defense force has undoubtedly become the strongest army on Earth!"

"From today onwards, the defense forces will do their utmost to eliminate all potential threats and ensure that every citizen can live in an absolutely safe environment!"

After his speech, Military Attaché Saijo left the camera's view, his previously humble and solemn face now beaming with pride.

On the way back to the defense base, he asked his subordinates what kind of public reaction his remarks had elicited.

Subordinate: "Many citizens feel at ease knowing that Ultraman can be controlled by humans, while others think that Mecha Seven is not necessarily stronger than Ultraman Gaia."

Military Attaché Saijo remained calm: "After all, the mechanical Seven has only just been put into actual combat and has not yet had a direct 'conversation' with it."

It would be great if people could more directly experience the power of Mecha Seven.

For example, monsters that the real Ultraman couldn't defeat were defeated by Mecha Seven.

Or perhaps Mecha Seven would directly defeat the real Ultraman.

In that case, not only the people of Japan, but the entire world would grovel at their feet, be subject to their supervision, and accept their "protection."

Perhaps we could work around and create such an opportunity...

At this moment, his subordinate said, "Staff Officer He Zhi from TPC has come to our headquarters and wants to speak with you directly."

Military Attaché Saijo remained calm: "As expected, they can't sit still anymore. Are they planning to apologize for destroying the F-15 that Kamiyama was riding in? It seems they've realized the gap between us now."

The subordinate looked somewhat embarrassed: "No... what they mean is... they want to jointly supervise Mech Seven."

Military Attaché Saijo's brain went blank for two seconds, then his face was filled with disbelief.

TPC wants to regulate Mech Seven?
Daydreaming?

Military Attaché Saijo: "Are they tired of living?"

Subordinate: "Besides Staff Officer He Zhi, Qi Ming, who is known as the strongest human on Earth, has also arrived."

Qi Ming...

Upon hearing this name, Saijo Takeshi's expression turned slightly serious.

He had watched Qi Ming's combat videos and suspected that the guy had been injected with serum or had some kind of surgery, otherwise his physique could not have exceeded the limits of a normal person by so many times.

He sneered, "Just a bully among humans, our mechanical Seven directly annihilates monsters."

Nevertheless, he still raised the alert level several times over, and transferred a large number of guards from headquarters to Qi Ming's vicinity, ready to take action at any time.

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

"There are more people nearby, and the firepower has been very successful in drawing their attention. The pressure on Jugglus will be much less."

At the headquarters of the defense force, Qi Ming, who was reclining on the sofa in the reception room with his eyes closed, suddenly spoke.

There were actually three people who came here.

Qi Ming, He Zhi, and Jugglus Juggler.

Jugglus was carefully avoiding the guards, preparing to sneak into the defense force's computer room and archives to find out what was going on.

Even He Zhi, who had seen his share of storms, was a little nervous about this "trap": "Are you sure there won't be any problems?"

Qi Ming: "As long as no extreme situation occurs, I will definitely protect you."

He Zhi: "What is meant by extreme circumstances?"

Qi Ming thought for a moment: "For example, if Dark Zagi or Alien Empera suddenly descends from the sky and starts a massacre during negotiations, I won't be able to withstand it."

He Zhi: "..."

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

Meanwhile, the commander of the Kamiyama ore plantation was monitoring the latest round of mining operations at the Victory mine.

His subordinate said, "We can mine all the Victory ore in this area within ten days." Shenshan nodded in satisfaction: "Well done."

The next moment, he heard a loud noise outside the door.

The door was kicked open, and [Xiang] stormed in angrily, holding the Victory Torch. Behind him lay four guards who had been knocked unconscious.

[Xiang] raised the Victory Torch, which resembled a gun, and aimed it at Commander Shenshan.

Besides transforming, the Victory Torch can also be used as a pistol, and it's quite powerful.

"Who are you!" The soldier on guard was shocked and pointed his gun at him, creating an extremely tense atmosphere.

[Xiang] stared intently at the sacred mountain: "I am here to negotiate as a representative of the Victorians from underground. Immediately cease mining of Victorian ore!"

Shenshan was taken aback: "Victorian people... do you consider Victorian crystals your private property?"

[Xiang] continued, "The Victory Crystal is the lifeblood of our Victory Sanctuary, and also the lifeblood of Earth. It must not be lost!"

At the same time, Queen Kisara saw this scene through [Xiang]'s pendant and was immediately shocked: "Xiang, put down the gun immediately! Once you fire, some things will be irreversible!"

With a gun pointed at him, Shenshan rolled his eyes and said to [Xiang], "I didn't expect the Victory Crystal to be so important. We were presumptuous. Let's put down our guns and talk."

After saying that, Shenshan said to his subordinates who were pointing guns at Xiang, "Put down your guns. There's no need to use violence."

Seeing that the sacred mountain was sincere in admitting its mistake and took the lead in expressing its sincerity, [Xiang] also relaxed. He followed the queen's instructions and put down the Victory Torch.

As a result, the next moment...

The moment Xiang put down his gun, Shenshan suddenly pulled out a pistol from his chest and fired a tranquilizer dart at Xiang.

"Ugh!" The wounded [Xiang] stiffened and fainted. He fell heavily to the ground, and the Victory Torch he was holding slipped from his hand.

"Tie him up. I want to interrogate him myself. Who is planning to steal the Victory Crystal from us?" Shenshan picked up the Victory Torch from the ground and examined it closely.

The next moment, an emergency alarm sounded.

"The prospecting team encountered a monster underground. It not only stole the Victory ore we were mining, but also killed our men!"

The next moment, the image was generated in this operations room.

A fifty-meter-long "ant" was seen scurrying underground, spraying formic acid from its mouth. The members of the mining team who were hit by it instantly turned into bones!

This is the giant ant-like super beast controlled by the Yapool people—[Ariponta]!
After slaughtering the defense force's mining team and stealing their Victory ore, the giant ant continued digging downwards, intending to storm directly into the Victory Sanctuary to seize more ore.

"That wretched monster! How dare it try to steal our Victory ore!" This sight infuriated Kamiyama.

"Send out Mecha Seven to take down this monster and retrieve the Victory Ore!" With his command, Mecha Seven was dispatched once again!

When the mechanical Seven arrived at the scene and was about to dig downwards, the earth suddenly trembled, and two enormous objects emerged from the ground.

One of them was the giant ant beast from before, which pleased Shenshan. The target had voluntarily emerged from the ground, saving them a lot of trouble.

Meanwhile, another monster was locked in battle with the giant ant super beast, and its name was called out by [Xiang], who was tied to a chair and woken up by a basin of cold water.

"Shepard!"

To protect the Victory Sanctuary and the Victory Crystal, Sheparton resolutely went into battle and fought against the Giant Ant Super Beast, gaining the upper hand.

"Huh, is the blue crystal on this monster's back also Victory ore? Its purity is twenty times higher than ordinary Victory ore. This is really good stuff. Let's take down this monster!"

In the other dimension, the Yapool people, upon witnessing this scene, were not angry but delighted and immediately sent reinforcements.

The missile super-beast, Belokron, has arrived!

With the missile super beast and the giant ant super beast facing off, Sheparton was immediately overwhelmed and at a disadvantage in a two-on-one situation.
