Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 416, Section 412. He Zhi: Is Qi Ming the Ao? | Leo vs. Seven
After defeating Cerebro, the evolved bipedal Bizomo walked towards Aihara Ryu, who was about to suffocate.

Kill, kill them all!
But the next moment, a purple beam of light shot out from the shadows behind it and struck it.

The next moment, the evolved Bizomo instantly turned into a "puddle" and died instantly.

A deep yellow insect with scarlet eyes and sharp claws flew out of the shadows.

This is the monster that emerged from the meteorite recovered from Laboratory No. 3—the [Beetle Dallas].

The moment it left the meteorite, it emitted a purple light that absorbed most of the life energy of the surrounding researchers before leaving the laboratory to search for new targets.

When a normal human being around 1.7 meters tall is exposed to light, they will experience severe physical exhaustion and develop a high fever.

The one-meter-tall Bizomo was completely drained after being exposed to the purple light.

"Whoosh!" [Beetle Dallas] released purple light again, hitting Aihara Ryu's neck and the blob of Bizomo covering his face.

The mass of Bizomo was also drained, and after its death, it dispersed into a puddle of water.

The two [Bizomo] that killed Cerebro in Zeta were killed by [Beetle Dallas] in Max.

The weak monsters are killed by the strong monsters, and the strong monsters are killed by the even stronger monsters. The cruelty of the survival of the fittest is vividly demonstrated in this world.

After absorbing the life energy of the two Bizomo and the unconscious Aihara Dragon, [Beetle Dallas] grew larger and left to continue searching for its next target.

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

Amidst the chaos at the Defense Forces headquarters, their mainframe was attacked by a third "foreign force."

With Jugglus Juggler infiltrating the server room as a relay, Hikari and Agamus successfully connected and began to seize control of the system.

Qi Ming, who was in the operations command center, also understood the situation of the defense forces through the monitoring system, and his face was full of shock.

He knew all too well how Bizomo had absorbed the electricity from the Defense Force Headquarters and bred dozens of regiments.

This thing originated from episode 31 of "Ultraman Tiga", titled "Victory Team Base Attacked", because its disgusting appearance was a childhood trauma for him.

"It was because of the unrestricted reproduction of these things that the planet Bizomo, which created them, was destroyed."

"We must wipe out all the Bizomo here! We absolutely cannot let them escape to the outside world!"

He also recognized Labmus, who controlled the mechanical Seven; this thing originated from episode 32 of Ultraman Dyna, "The Singing Detector Robot."

In the original series, when Labomos was exploring alien planets, he came across an "ancient ruin" and heard the sound of a mysterious musical instrument. He immediately went berserk and wanted to destroy all mechanical civilization on Earth.

It absorbed all the computer-controlled main combat weapons of TPC headquarters, including the Victory Eagle and the Artdis, and built a huge fighting machine with itself as the core, suppressing Dyna with firepower.

Fortunately, in this world, he chose to target the Defense Force. The Defense Force's weaponry materials were very ordinary, so he could only steal a mechanical Seven to use.

The yellow beetle is from episode 8 of Ultraman Max, titled "DASH Destruction".

It continuously emits purple light to steal the life energy of living organisms, thus slowly growing to enormous size, and is always ready to lay countless eggs in its abdomen, bringing disaster to the earth.

Bizomo from Ultraman Tiga, Labomos from Dyna, and Dallas the Beetle from Max.

Was it intentional or accidental that the Defense Force managed to bring all these living fathers into headquarters at the same time?
He didn't understand, and he was greatly shocked.

Staff Officer He Zhi immediately said, "We must eliminate that Bizomo and Beetle Dallas, otherwise the consequences will be endless... cough cough, it's so uncomfortable."

He clutched his chest, feeling a wave of discomfort.

The subordinates of the sacred mountain also turned pale: "What happened? What happened to me... what happened to me..."

Qi Ming frowned: "It's Bizomo attacking living people with pure oxygen!"

Bizomo absorbs carbon dioxide and releases pure oxygen, but if the oxygen concentration in the air is too high, it will kill people!
Father Pucci, who killed Jotaro Kujo in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," was killed by pure oxygen.

"I want to leave here, I want to get out..." Shenshan's subordinates pounded on the door desperately, trying to leave the sealed room and go to the outside world where there was fresh air.

However, the computer-controlled door was locked by Bizomo and could not be opened.

"Get out of the way, I'll do it." Qi Ming pushed the group aside and kicked out with all his might.

"Bang!" The enormous roar shook people's brains, and the seemingly indestructible mechanical door crashed down.

After the "physical opening" was completed, Qi Ming commented: "It's really not sturdy, far inferior to the door of the Victory Team's command room."

When the subordinates of Shenshan saw this scene, they desperately ran out of the command center to breathe the normal air in the corridor. They were overjoyed, but their hearts were filled with complex emotions.

Qi Ming killed two high-ranking officers of their defense force, but also saved them...

Should we hate and fear him, or thank and praise him?
At this moment, a researcher, panting, said, "Thanks to Commander Kamiyama and Commander Saijo for luring this peerless hero here, otherwise we would be finished."

What a considerate and kind leader he is! May he live a long and peaceful life!
Another researcher said, "Wouldn't the others be trapped and die?"

Through the surveillance footage, Qi Ming saw that because Bizomo had sealed off all the mechanical doors, the soldiers trapped in various areas were suffering terribly from the ever-increasing oxygen concentration in the sealed spaces.

Seeing this, Staff Officer He Zhi sighed, "The defense force is doomed."

Previously, many TPC leaders, including him, believed that the Defense Force and the TPC would have a fierce all-out war to determine Japan's fate, and they had been preparing for it.

Unexpectedly... they ended up getting themselves killed.

This chaotic and cruel world is full of surprises.

Looking at Qi Ming, who was deep in thought, Staff Officer He Zhi had a sudden thought, remembering how Qi Ming had asked him to capture "Agamus" a few months ago.

Did Qi Ming, who is skilled at divination, inadvertently help TPC avoid many "unexpected events"?

The next moment, Qi Ming said, "They've been saved."

Staff Officer He Zhi was taken aback: "Save them? They received orders to kill you."

Qi Ming: "They can be ordered to kill me, or they can be ordered to fight against invaders and protect the earth."

Staff Officer He Zhi: "Are you planning to recruit them?"

Hearing this, Xiang looked at Qi Ming with a different expression and had a new opinion of him.

No wonder Earth gave Gaia his power. Although he was ruthless, he was also broad-minded and could consider the big picture.

Under the operation of Hikari and Agamous, the communication system was restored, and Qi Ming's voice came from all the speakers at the Defense Force Headquarters:

"Greetings, fellow members of the Defense Force. I am Qi Ming, the man you wish to kill. With a formidable enemy at hand, it is time to end this ridiculous infighting."

"There are two types of deadly monsters in the base right now. If they are allowed to leave the Defense Force headquarters and multiply rapidly in the outside world, even more people will die."

"Now, reduce your breathing rate to avoid inhaling too much pure oxygen, and wait for my friend and me to rescue you."

"Of course, if you still try to attack me after you see me, I will not pretend it didn't happen."

After briefly introducing the characteristics of [Bizomo] and [Beetle Dallas], Qi Ming, along with Advisor He Zhi and [Xiang], split up to rescue the people.

"Bang!" He reached the end of the corridor and kicked open the thick mechanical door again.

"Cough! Cough!" Inside was a detachment; a dozen fully armed soldiers rushed out of the sealed space, where the oxygen concentration was extremely high, gasping for breath. Any later, and they would all be dead.

"Thank you for coming to save us." After recovering, the squad leader looked at Qi Ming solemnly and bowed deeply.

He dared to come to our rescue with our guns pointed at him. Wasn't he afraid we'd shoot him in the back?

He was deeply moved by their spirit of risking their lives to unite the forces they had built—they had always upheld courage and a willingness to die for their cause.

Qi Ming didn't have time for pleasantries: "After you've rested, hurry up and find Bizomo. We can't let a single one escape."

The squad leader nodded: "Yes."

Then Qi Ming continued forward, kicking open the closed mechanical door again, rescuing some soldiers who were almost killed by the pure oxygen released by Bizomo.

After witnessing this scene firsthand, the squad leader's eyes changed: "This is simply superhuman."

One of his soldiers asked, "Captain, what are the orders from above?"

The squad leader said, "If someone is ungrateful, is he even human? Besides, with such a huge mess at the Defense Force Headquarters, the higher-ups are probably in trouble themselves."

He was right; the commander of the defense forces, Commander Sahara, was suffering greatly at this time.

They had just promised the people that they would protect them with Mecha Seven, but now Mecha Seven, controlled by Labomos, is about to wreak havoc in densely populated areas...

If such a thing were to happen, he would have no choice but to absolve himself of his guilt.

"Commander, our communication ports have been restored. You can mobilize your troops now!" his staff officer exclaimed with delight.

Commander Sahara nodded and announced via radio: "This is Commander Sahara. I hereby formally declare that the previous orders are null and void."

"Now, I ask you to cooperate with TPC's allies to clear out as many monsters as possible from each area, and absolutely not let any monsters leave from here."

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

After kicking down more than a dozen gates, Hikari and Agamous also successfully reclaimed the energy system of the Defense Force headquarters and cut it off.

Bizomo can no longer absorb electricity to reproduce, so the situation of multiplying with each battle will no longer occur.

Meanwhile, Qi Ming received the latest news.

Mecha Seven landed in Tokyo's B district, seemingly preparing to launch an attack.

Dan Moroboshi: "The rest of the GUTS team will be at the Defense Force headquarters soon. They will try their best to control the situation."

Staff Officer He Zhi beside him said, "Okay, I will personally lead the team and command it."

Qi Ming had just sent a message to Fujimiya, telling him to hurry over here.

The Defense Forces headquarters is still rife with undercurrents. The Bizomo are not all dead yet and may very well "bring out something big." The beetle Dallas is also about to evolve to be fifty meters tall.

But Qi Ming believed that with his comrades, Ultraman Victory and Ultraman Agul, there would be no trouble.

He has to stop Mecha Seven from destroying the city.

He glanced at Staff Officer He Zhi beside him and clicked the button for any key:

"We're about to incorporate the defense forces, and the scale is going to expand. There are some things you should know."

"Anyway, you're more reliable than the Yamanaka team members and won't talk nonsense... Let's use this against Seven."

Seeing the Ultraman-themed random button raised on the movement, Staff Officer He Zhi was taken aback: "What are you trying to do?"

"Transform and attack." After saying that, Qi Ming slapped the watch face.

The next moment, a bright light burst forth, and Staff Officer He Zhi instinctively closed his eyes.

When the light faded, He Zhi opened his eyes.

Qi Ming was gone, replaced by a 50-meter-tall giant with three sharp horns on its head and a bright blue timer on its chest, who nodded at him.

Ultraman Leo, here we go!

The next moment, Leo pushed off with both legs and flew towards Mecha Seven.

"My God... Am I dreaming?" Staff Officer He Zhi, who had weathered countless storms to become the leader of the hawk faction, was so shocked that he lost his composure for the first time.

Ultraman, it's Ultraman!
Qi Ming turned into Ultraman!

Although he had already witnessed Qi Ming's extraordinary abilities, seeing a human turn into a fifty-meter giant still shocked him like never before!
Is this a dream?
"No... I'm perfectly sober." He Zhi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

No wonder, no wonder!
In this way, things that are difficult to understand can be explained.

No wonder Qi Ming has an amazing physique, because he is Ultraman!

No wonder he could contact and communicate with Black Orb; he was one of them.

Staff Officer He Zhi, who had previously been anxious about the Defense Force acquiring the mecha Seven, was now beaming with ecstasy.

TPC already had Ultraman long before the Defense Force!

Ultraman has always been by our side, watching over us and protecting us!

----------------

Tokyo, Area B.

The residents screamed in surprise when they saw the mechanical Seven descending from the sky.

"Look, it's Ultraman Seven!"

"No, isn't that the mechanical Seven that the defense force made on TV? Is he here to fight some kind of monster?"

"But we don't have any monsters here, maybe it's just a drill?"

As the citizens chattered amongst themselves, the mechanical Seven formed an L-shape with both hands, ready to sweep the city with beams of light.

At this critical moment, a crimson figure descended from the sky and kicked the mechanical Seven.

Labomos, with his astonishing computing power, detected the enemy immediately and used energy to protect himself, but he still couldn't withstand Leo's flying kick.

"Bang!" The mechanical Seven was sent flying backwards with a heavy thud, crashing onto the street and crushing a parked jeep.

Under Labomos's control, Mecha Seven sprang to his feet and charged toward Ultraman Leo.

"Oh my god, what's that? A new Ultraman!"

"Wow, look! The new Ultraman is fighting with the Defense Force's mechanical Seven!"

"That was a really brutal beating. Did they have a grudge against each other?"
