Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 437, Section 433: Upgrade! 15 Star Points! Illuminate the Land of Light

Watching Black Tor fall like a kite with a broken string after being hit, Carmilla said, "You hit him! As expected of my Qi Ming!"

Orb: "Dark Tregear has crashed again!"

"Damn it... I actually..." Blackie, who had been hit and fell to the ground, was in pain all over his body, and his limbs were twitching.

"It's not over yet!" The next moment, 999 Max clenched his fists and slammed them down repeatedly on the Black Tor lying on the ground.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After being punched several times, Dark Toregia's appearance became even more miserable. His head was buried in the stone, making his face invisible, while his lower body, which was exposed to the outside world, remained motionless.

It's time for a fatal blow.

Qi Ming gathered light on his left hand, which was adorned with the Max Spark. As the light formed an arc, his arm combined to form an inverted L-shape, and a burst of light, shimmering with seven colors, shot out.

This is Ultraman Max's ultimate beam—[Maxium Cannon]!
The Marcus Mucannon released by 999 Max is hundreds of meters wide!

The beam of light blasted a massive crater thousands of meters deep into the floor of the Monster Graveyard. When the beam ended, Black Tor was nowhere to be seen at the bottom of the crater.

There wasn't even a crumb left.

“The life force has disappeared, so Heto might be dead, but it’s unlikely that Heto is dead,” Qi Ming thought after seeing that no abnormalities had occurred.

He was genuinely worried that the "Deathrattle" would activate and a powerful evil god would emerge.

It seems everything is fine now; Dark Toregia just "died normally."

Like Dark Belial, Dark Tregear is a fighter who does sit-ups in a coffin.

Because of the fusion with Reiblood's remnant soul, Belial also possessed the characteristic of an immortal soul, and could live no matter how many times he was killed.

In the original series, Belial was completely destroyed after Geed's account led to Reiblood's soul leaving his body and losing his immortality.

Dark Toregia, due to the "Great Evil God" in the Color Timer, can also "come back to life after dying for a period of time".

There is only one way to completely destroy him—strip the Great Evil God from his body and then kill him.

Hmm... releasing the Great Evil God from the Monster Graveyard, that scene is terrifying...

"So he wasn't completely dead after all, which is why there was no chance to retrieve him? Tsk."

"But without the Great Evil God, Tregear is only at the C-rank level, so there's no point in saving it... Hey, what's this?"

An unexpected surprise occurred.

The life energy released when Dark Torregia perished still gathered together, forming a cluster of purple light that looked somewhat different from the previous Goldler aliens after their demise.

Green represents C, blue represents B, and purple represents A.

After Ultraman absorbed it with any key, the dial changed, and the display on the screen immediately captivated him.

Star Gift: 13.
Manufacturing: 33/40.
Qi Ming: “?”

13 points of star gift?
Not sure, take another look.

That's truly a 13-point star gift.

Holy crap, has the Star Gift limit been broken?!
Qi Ming looked at the arbitrary bond that had been plated with a layer of silver after the plasma core was integrated, and thought to himself, "So this is the gift of the plasma core!"
He expanded the energy storage space of any key, increasing the upper limit of Star Gift.

But... something's strange, how come it was absorbed directly this time?

This reminded Qi Ming of the time when the second-generation Dark Mephisto tried to forcibly possess him, but instead Ultraman used the random button to store some of his energy.

Because the damage was too severe, he couldn't become Mephistopheles; he only gained 1 point of Star Gift.

"So you just got 6 Star Points for nothing because you failed to actually kill Dark Toregia?"

Qi Ming is now more curious about the new upper limit. Is the highest it can be 13 points?

It might even go higher!

Thinking of this, Qi Ming went to Belial, who had been knocked unconscious, and also released a [Macshum Cannon].

A powerful beam of light, carrying astonishing destructive force, was released, and Belial, bathed in its light, briefly regained consciousness amidst excruciating pain.

He roared with resentment, "Damn it! Don't think this is the end of it! I'm coming back from hell!"

Qi Ming: "Welcome back to die again and give me Xingci. I'll probably kill you in a different way then."

The next moment, Belial's body was completely shattered and dissipated.

Double kill!

After Belial died, a strange-looking purple dot of light appeared.

Like Tregear, Belial wasn't completely dead because of the immortality of Reiblood's remnant soul; only a chaotic mass of residual life energy remained. After being absorbed by Ultraman's random button, the screen changed.

Star Gift: 15.
Manufacturing: 33/40.
15!

15 Star Points!
After the upgrade is completed with the support of the Plasma Core, the Star Power cap for any key is increased to 15!

Epic buff!
At this moment, Qi Ming was like Dior, whose time stop time was extended from 5 seconds to 9 seconds after drinking Joseph's blood, and he was extremely high!
"Hahaha...cough cough cough, it hurts so much, I can't take it anymore, I have to turn back." Qi Ming took the plasma core out of his chest, and his figure quickly returned to 50 meters.

Hmm... the swelling and pain aren't so bad anymore, I can laugh again.

"I feel great now, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore! Hehehe!"

The teammates, who were helping each other to walk closer, were stunned. Orb said, "Senior Qiming, you seem very happy."

With a broken leg, Seven spoke weakly: "Belial and Dark Tregear, two enemies who threatened the Land of Light and peace, have been defeated... Qi Ming, you are the hero who saved the Land of Light, thank you!"

Qi Ming: "We don't need to be so formal with each other, but I have to remind you that Belial and Dark Tregear won't die so easily. They'll come back after winning the resurrection match. But don't worry, we can just kill them again."

Although "the righteous path is one foot high, and the evil path is ten feet high," the righteous path will always be one foot high and the evil path ten feet high!

Qi Ming is considering how to "permanently seal" Belial and Dark Tregear, and he already has some ideas.

There are quite a few "endurance kings" in the Arcane system. The Juda brothers, known as the "Twisted Universe," will be resurrected in an even stronger form 50,000 years after they are killed.

However, their infinite resurrection was interrupted in "Ultraman X", when Ultraman X used the "Rainbow Blade" that could make anyone's wishes come true to erase the "infinite resurrection buff".

If I could get my hands on a rainbow sword, I could permanently defeat Belial and Dark Tregear.

If the Rainbow Blade works, then perhaps the Cosmic Needle [Beria's Twilight] will also work.

He just released a Greza capable of producing cosmic needles; the Space Garrison will have to find it to prevent it from causing a major disaster...

These matters require careful consideration. The fierce and perilous battle is finally over; we can relax and rest for a while now...

Thinking of this, Qi Ming, who had borne the most pressure as the core, relaxed his tense body and wanted to lie down for a while.

When Carmila saw Qi Ming about to fall, she quickly stepped forward to support him: "You must be exhausted after fighting for so long. I feel tired just looking at you. Rest in my arms for a while."

This gesture of helping someone up... is exactly the same as a famous scene from "Ultraman DeGai".

Qi Ming tried to break free, but he was in a state of exhaustion at the moment, so he reminded her "Don't touch me if it's improper" and then let her go.

Carmilla was overjoyed to see Qi Ming in her arms.

I love how she displays a strong and unyielding stance when facing enemies and outsiders, but then reveals her true, vulnerable, and defenseless side afterward.

"By the way, this needs to be dealt with properly." Qi Ming pointed to the Ultimate Battle Device next to him: "I wish I could be a summoner like Belial who can control monsters."

But he knew that was unrealistic; he would need the power of the Reonics to use the Battle Device's functions.

Hikari thought for a moment: "If we call some functions of any key, it might be possible. Then I, Torregia, and my colleagues from the Research Bureau will think of a way."

Qi Ming: “?”

Is this for real? Is there a surprise in store?
Can I use the Ultimate Battle Device to control monsters and become a summoner?
White said, "Let's go back to the Land of Light first."

After eliminating Belial and Dark Tregear, two major threats to the peace of the universe, and reclaiming the Plasma Core, the group returned to the Land of Light having accomplished their objective.

Halfway there, Qi Ming, who had recovered considerably, politely broke free from Carmilla's support and headed towards the Land of Light.

This stunned Carmilla: "You have such good stamina?"

She is looking forward to it because Qi Ming promised to have a "good talk" with her after the incident is over.

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

The Land of Light, at the top of the Plasma Spark Tower.

Qi Ming, transformed into Ultraman Max, inserted the plasma core back into its original position.

The next moment, a powerful light burst forth, and a vast wave swept across the entire Land of Light from the top of the Plasma Spark Tower.

The long darkness and cold were dispelled by the warm light, and the Land of Light began to recover!
Wireless charging begins, and Ultraman, who was frozen into an ice sculpture, begins to thaw.

Zoffy, who had fallen, stood up, and the color timer stopped flashing.

The moment of "enlightenment" left Bai Tuo and Seven Hikari stunned, for this was exactly what the Land of Light should look like in their memories.

Father of Ultra's body came to life again, and he looked at Qi Ming, who had transformed into Max: "And who is this?"

"I am Seven and Hikari's comrade-in-arms." Qi Ming looked at Father of Ultra: "It's all over now."
