Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 472, Chapter 468: She's here, the creator of the arbitrary key! (Third update)

Jugglus Juggler, emerging from Asgaron, glared at the four Ultramen who had turned to gold, his fists clenched, his eyes bloodshot: "Everyone, you bastards!"

He couldn't accept this outcome.

Senior Qi Ming, we must find Senior Qi Ming now, he is our last hope!

On the field, Gashulein was overjoyed, dancing with excitement: "Great! Four more new collectibles have arrived!"

Then he realized something and looked at Blackie, who was leisurely gazing at the sky, and said, "You've really helped me a lot this time. Here, have two of them."

Heito waved his hand, sat on the roof of a tall building, and said in a humble tone, "No need, it's just a small favor. These guys are yours to deal with."

He waited for Qi Ming to appear and rescue people, then he would defeat Bai Tuo in front of him and regain the dignity he had lost in the battle of the Monster Graveyard.

Qi Ming was powerless against Etalga, so defeating him now would be a piece of cake for him.

He had already begun planning to defeat Qi Ming and then use him as an experimental subject to study him thoroughly, to see how he could transform into both Ultraman and Bruton.

This is something to look forward to.

“Really? Thank you, you’re so kind,” Gashulein said.

He began to imagine himself traveling all over the universe with these four collectibles, attracting countless envious glances.

The Destroyer, standing to the side, raised the blade in his right hand: "Turning into a golden statue isn't enough. Ultra Warriors are incredibly resilient. I think it's necessary to completely dismember them."

You need to finish off the enemy, and you need to finish them off completely!

Ideally, they should be dismembered into eight pieces and their different bodies scattered across various dimensional spaces to completely eliminate any possibility of their resurrection.

Gashulein immediately retorted, "Don't even think about damaging my collection, you coward who was defeated by the blue Ultraman. You're useless and a coward too. They've all turned to gold, they're completely beyond saving!"

"You!" The Destroyer was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

He realized that his condition was no match for Gashulein, and looked at Heito, only to find that he didn't care about any of this at all, but was just looking around, waiting for Qi Ming to appear.

He had no choice but to swallow his anger, open the wormhole and return to the "Doomsday Inviter's Stronghold," where he would wait until he had recovered before coming back to settle the score.

He wouldn't feel at ease until he had reduced these Ultra Warriors to ashes.

Also, that Gashulein's eyesight is really terrible. What do you mean by turning their whole bodies into gold? The color timers on their chests haven't changed, have they?
....................................

"Such a thing actually happened!" Upon arriving in an area with internet access and seeing the four golden statues of Ultraman on the news, Qi Ming's face turned grim.

Just as he and Carmilla were outside the ruins pondering how to obtain the power of the Eternal Core, an image called "Beacon" appeared on the screen of any key.

Just like when I was recuperating on the planet Liuli, it was the creator of the Ultraman Any Button sending me an email!
He opened it and saw that in such a short time, he knew that something big had happened outside, so he rushed over.

Upon reaching an area with internet access, the battle was already over, and Ultraman's side had been completely wiped out.

In reality, what difference would it make if I were there at the time?

Dark Torregia is too strong now. He doesn't have a plasma core to transform into 999 Max again. Going against him would just be suicide.

In this situation, the most sensible approach would be to sneak away, avoid direct conflict, and seek help from the Land of Light. But what will happen to Earth while we're away?
There are four Ultra Warriors. If Gashulein discovers that the color timers on their chests haven't turned into gold and smashes them, will they die completely?
Looking at the frozen pose of the four Ultra Warriors in the picture before their deaths, a surge of intense emotions welled up in his heart.

He had just witnessed [Sho] being taken away not long ago, and now he was going to lose Captain Ootori Fujimiya Aizen Makoto and the others?
Absolutely not!
Should I take a gamble with Greza, but how should I do it?
Just as he was racking his brains, the "beacon" icon reappeared on the screen of any key.

That person sent him another email.

After clicking, a clear and melodious female voice sounded again:
"Qi Ming, I know you're going through a tough time right now, so I want to do everything I can to help you."

"Come here, and perhaps I can give you the power to defeat Dark Toregia and save your comrades."

Without saying a word after reading it, Qi Ming immediately rushed to the location given in the email.

It was a small hillside covered with tender green grass.

On the hillside stood a large tree that made a "whooshing" sound when the wind blew, and standing alone beside the tree was a curvaceous woman with purple hair.

After Qi Ming arrived here, he stared at the purple-haired woman's back and asked, "Are you the one who contacted me through the Ultraman random button?"

Upon hearing Qi Ming's voice, the figure standing by the tree shuddered: "Um... um, it's me."

She took a deep breath, as if summoning all her courage, and turned to face Qi Ming.

This is a girl who looks to be in her early twenties, her delicate features filled with unease and tension.

She wore her purple coat open, revealing a white shirt underneath, and her porcelain-white, smooth skin beneath black stockings.

(The image above is a two-dimensional representation; the image below is a three-dimensional representation that better matches the art style of this book. This is for reference only.)
If this had happened in the past, Qi Ming might have exclaimed upon seeing her, "What a beautiful girl! And that purple hair makes her look like she stepped out of an anime."

But now he only cares about the "truth" and the power mentioned in the email that can defeat Dark Toregia and save his comrades.

The girl bowed deeply to Qi Ming:
"My name is Akane Shinjo, one of the creators of the Ultraman Any Button, and someone who watched you grow up."

"I'm sorry to have dragged you into all of this, although it's too late to say it now..."

Although he was mentally prepared, Qi Ming was still strongly shocked when he actually faced it all.

Akane Shinjo? Does such a person exist in the Ultraman universe?
I've never heard of that before.

She said she was one of the creators of the FreeKey?

Besides her, were there any other people involved in the creation of the Ultraman Any Key?
And, watching me grow up?
He glanced at the small, worn-out watch on his wrist, then looked at the woman in front of him: "Your voice is exactly the same as the voice that sent me the voice email back in the beginning. You're that 'Mom'? How old are you this year?"

Akane Shinjo: "Twenty years and six months old."

Qi Ming looked on in astonishment: "I'm twenty-one, you're twenty, and you're saying you watched me grow up? What's going on here?"

Akane Shinjo: "That's a long story. Let me start from the beginning. A long time ago, I was a person with a terrible personality..."

She took a deep breath and slowly revealed the truth.

A truth that even Qi Ming couldn't help but be shocked by.
