Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 495, Section 491: [Creation] Unlocking & Achieving a Victory Team with All Members in Phase Two (5,000-word long chapter)
"So, what's the point of creating this feature?"

With Akane Shinjo, who had participated in the creation of any key, right in front of him, Qi Ming directly asked her for advice.

Akane Shinjo: "Since we've gathered Ultraman Geed, let's use Geed to demonstrate."

After saying that, Akane Shinjo adjusted the small watch for a while, and a [Blank Capsule] appeared on the screen.

"The mold is ready, but we still need power. Since you're all here, let's transform," Akane Shinjo called out.

Dan Moroboshi and Gen Otori curiously transformed into human-sized Seven and Leo, after which Akane Shinjo asked them to channel their energy into any key.

Seven and Leo exchanged a glance, and their energy transformed into two beams of light that flowed into the random key on Qi Ming's wrist.

Half a minute later, Leo gasped, "Phew... Is it okay now?"

Akane Shinjo stared at the watch screen: "It's not full yet, wait a little longer."

Akane Shinjo only called for a stop when the two Ultraman color timers started flashing.

Immediately afterwards, the screen of any key flashed, and two small capsules, one carrying Seven's capsule and the other carrying Leo's capsule, appeared.

Qi Ming seemed to be deep in thought: "So this is what [manufacturing] is..."

He had previously speculated that perhaps [manufacturing] could be used to create items such as cards from Orb, capsules from Geed, bracelets from Taiga, and medals from Zeta.

Akane Shinjo: "You can create corresponding items by absorbing the energy structure of Ultra Warriors. Now your Ultraman Geed can transform into [Burning Form]."

Ultraman Geed: Burning Form is a form created by fusing and sublimating the power of Seven and Leo extracted from the Ultra Capsule.

It is both offensive and defensive, equivalent to Ultraman Tiga's Power Form. It is the most stable of Geed's three basic forms, with the highest minimum performance level, ranging from B+ to B peak.

When facing the mass-produced Darklops, the original form couldn't even break through one-on-one, but after being set ablaze, it could quickly kill three of them.

Qi Ming nodded, and after looking at the Ultra Capsule for a while, he noticed something was wrong: "This seems to be a disposable item that is used once and then consumed?"

Akane Shinjo: "Our technology is limited, and our development team doesn't have Hikari, so it's already pretty good that we can imitate it to this extent. Besides, after we've used these two, why don't we just have Seven and Leo build you new ones?"

Phoenix Lion, having reverted to its original form, trembled: "Again?"

This small capsule drained most of his strength. Will he come back again?

Qi Ming: "What if they're not around when I need them?"

Akane Shinjo continued adjusting the random button: "The random button already includes Seven and Leo's data, so I can just use StarCraft when I'm not around."

"Let me see. After all, it only contains a portion of the body's energy. The Leo Capsule and Seven Capsule are only C-grade items. A little Star Gift can make one, so it's very cheap."

Qi Ming: “…”

You mean that without Leo and Seven himself helping to create the tools, if I want to use the Burning form in the future, I need to first transform into the original Geed with a 3-star gift, and then spend 2 stars to create two capsules?
3+1+1=5，5点星赐变个B级的刚燃捷德？我脑袋被山中踢了吗……

Akane Shinjo: "It's not just Geed that can use [Manufacturing], and Geed isn't just Gotham."

This is true.

But other forms seem to...

First, among Geed's three basic states, there is a speed-type form that is equivalent to "Airborne Tiga" - the Agile Form, which requires the Gauss Capsule and the Hikari Capsule.

Gauss was present in the capsule, and he also knew Hikari, so he was able to create those two capsules.

but……

In Qi Ming's opinion, this creature was not only ugly, but also had low combat power, average mobility, and relied on weapons for output.

It's worse than the original and worse than the lower limit. What's the point of making this thing?

Then, the advanced form that surpasses the basic three states—the Superior Form—requires Father of Ultra and the Zero Capsule.

This model is positioned at a high level and performs well; it will definitely be rated A.

Unfortunately, Father of Ultra can be summoned, but Zero... surely Seven wouldn't have to give birth to one on the spot?

Finally, the final form of Ultraman Geed—Royal Ultraman—requires a capsule from Ultraman King.

As a form wielding the power of the King of Ultra, Royal Mega Master is arguably one of the top existences in the series of New Generation TV finales.

It can probably suppress the flash by half a head, reaching the upper-middle level of Grade A.

Unfortunately, the King of Ultra has yet to be seen, and he didn't even make a sound about the major events of Belial's escape from the Land of Light and its destruction.

Qi Ming looked at Shinjo Akane and said that Christmas was in two days, and asked her to pray like a young girl again so that the King of Ultra would come forward to give her a present.

Akane Shinjo: "Unfortunately, based on my observation, the King of Ultra isn't in this universe, and he's not in the service area, so I can't call him. He's probably off somewhere giving birth, wait..."

As they were talking, Shinjo Akane suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Qi Ming thoughtfully.

Qi Ming pointed to the watch face: "By the way, what's the next function?"

Star Gift: 5.
Maximum amplification: 40/80.
Akane Shinjo: "By converting Star Gifts, you can give the user a huge boost. One point of Star Gift can increase combat power by 10% in all aspects. Note that the ultimate boost will completely consume the Star Gifts and will not be returned."

Compared to the previous [Amplification], the 10% all-around improvement from 1 point of Star Gift under [Maximum Amplification] is very considerable.

If the money isn't refunded... then even if this feature is unlocked, he'll only "spend money" to become stronger when facing formidable opponents.

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

The next day, the research made a new breakthrough.

Thanks to Agamus's all-night overtime work, the [Dyna Wing] in Dyna Zeon was finally created!

"You guys worked overtime for so many days and all you made was a toy?"

Those who came to watch the test looked on with suspicion when they saw the red airplane, which Agamus was holding in his hands and had a wingspan of only twenty centimeters.

Agamus: "It hasn't started yet, Hyemi, show him what you've got."

Hye-mi took the red Dyna Wings and looked down: "Do we really have to recite such embarrassing lines?"

Akane Shinjo, standing nearby, said, "What's so embarrassing about it? It's super cool and awesome, okay?"

Hui Mei had no choice but to take a deep breath and raise the red plane above her head: "Link mode, Dyna Wing!"

The next moment, the red "toy airplane" suddenly expanded, with a wingspan of sixty meters. It hovered above everyone's heads, and the shockwave it generated almost blew people out of the mountains.

Kishida: "Bigger than the Flying Swallow II!"

Agamus said proudly, "This is groundbreaking technology."

The blueprints are powerful, but someone who can thoroughly understand the blueprints and bring them to life is even more powerful!
Incidentally, after consulting with Akane Shinjo, he incorporated Hikari's previously developed "beam that can destroy enemies at the molecular level" technology into the Wing Dyna, and also enlarged the cockpit of the Wing Dyna.

Inside the cockpit of the Dyna Wing, Hui Mei carefully operated the aircraft according to the instruction manual, making the Dyna Wing ascend, descend, glide, dive, fold its wings... and then fire at the sea.

The shells crashed into the sea, creating huge waves with a roar. Water columns shot into the sky, and white foam splashed out, crashing back onto the sea like a torrential rain, rippling outwards in concentric circles.

Jugglus's eyes widened in disbelief. He never imagined that a 20-centimeter toy could grow to such a large size with such speed and maneuverability, and its conventional firepower was also very strong.

After three hours of struggling, Saijo Nagi asked, "Emi, can you keep going?"

After reaching Mach 3, Huimei said, "No problem, the overload and pressure I feel here are very weak."

After resting for about half an hour, Saijo Nagi said, "Let's get to the real thing."

Upon arriving at a desolate testing site, an extremely sturdy metal cage was removed, inside which was a green worm.

It is the leaf-eating monster Kemjira from Taro, an ancient creature revived by the activity of the Great Bear Volcano, a native Earth insect that can grow by eating watermelons, and which almost single-handedly defeated the cosmic insect Cerebro.

Previously, Saijo Nagi had specially kept three larvae in order to store "reserve hidden star gifts" for Qi Ming, and had them raised in the sea base.

Now that Qi Ming has the Ultimate Battle Device that can be carried around to store monsters, the importance of the Kemjira Larva has greatly decreased, so it's better to take it out for testing.

"Mountain team member, come here."

"Okay." Yamanaka took out two Victory Hyper rifles and fired them at Kemjira together.

After absorbing the laser energy, Kemjira's body rapidly expanded, transforming into a colossal monster forty-seven meters tall in the blink of an eye.

Dan Moroboshi: "Megumi, it's up to you now."

Hui Mei looked down at the menacing Kemjira below and said, "Although I practiced in the simulator for a while a long time ago, I was really not mentally prepared for the sudden real combat."

Qi Ming: "Relax, everyone is your strong support."

If Kemjira is unwilling to obediently die under Dyna's Wing beam cannon, then the other Ultramen here also know a little bit of hand-to-hand combat.

After saying that, Hui Mei breathed a sigh of relief and launched an attack on Kemjira.

After being hit, Kemjira immediately launched a counterattack using its few anti-air capabilities, spitting out silk threads from its mouth, but it couldn't hit anything. Huimei continuously fired her energy cannon at it, and after two minutes, it was blasted to the brink of collapse.

"Finally, the finishing move. Seriously, is it really necessary to shout out the name of the move? And is this name for real?" Huimei glanced at the notes in the instruction manual.

Akane Shinjo: "Of course, that's what makes it exciting! And don't you think this name is interesting!"

Huimei, looking like she was ready to go all out, shouted, "Alright then... what about the light beam!"

That's right, it's the name of Dyna's Wing Strike's special attack, "That Ray".

The next moment, two thick laser beams shot out from the muzzle of Dyna's Wing Gun. Kemjira was pierced through, his body stiffened, and he collapsed completely.

A green light floated out from its corpse, was absorbed by Ultraman's random key, and was converted into 1 Star Gift by Qi Ming, so now there are 6 Star Gifts in the table and the table.

The test battle ended, with Dyna Wing overwhelmingly defeating the C-rank Kemjira, partly due to type advantage and partly due to firepower.

Dyna's Wings landed on the ground, and Emi deactivated the connection, causing the Wings to revert to the size of a toy that could be held in one's hands.

The crowd immediately gathered around, discussing this novel gadget with great enthusiasm.

Dan Moroboshi: "Megumi, thank you for your hard work."

Saijo Nagi: "Actually, you weren't very quick to react to some of the previous attacks, but the Dyna Wing's maneuverability made up for that."

Yamanaka: "His accuracy is a bit lacking; several laser cannon shots missed. If it were me..."

Kishida: "Anyway, this fighter jet is really amazing."

While it can be operated by a single person, apart from its finishing move being less powerful than the Texas Beam, it is no less capable than the Flying Swallow II, which requires multiple pilots.

Carmilla couldn't help but pour cold water on the idea:

"That's because that bug can't fly. You can only stare at it helplessly in mid-air. You're just shooting at a stationary target the whole time."

"What if it spins its silk more precisely and pulls you down with the thread?"

"Or find an obstacle to block it, forcing you to approach it."

She felt that if it were her, she could bind Dyna's wings with a single whip and then pull them over to dismantle them.

No matter how strong the mecha is, the human operator piloting it is fragile. Once the battle reaches its climax, the mecha may be able to withstand the attack, but the pilot may faint.

She still looked down on this "toy," feeling that she was more advanced because she could transform into a dark giant at will.

She still had no interest in forming a band with other girls... oh no, I mean, forming a mecha fusion team.

Saijo Nagi acknowledged the issues Carmilla pointed out, but was still delighted.

This will greatly enhance the fighting power of the Victory Team.

Moreover, the Dyna Wing is very portable; it can be put into a large pocket and activated anytime, anywhere—it's practically a transformation device.

Saijo Nagi said thoughtfully, "I remember there are three other parts besides this, right?"

Akane Shinjo: "Hmm, dragon-type robot [Dyna War Dragon], car [Dyna Chariot], submarine [Dyna Submarine], and then we can synthesize a large robot [Dyna Zeon]."

Saijo Nagi: "These all need to be operated and driven by people, right? So, can we use them when the time comes?"

Akane Shinjo: "You guys..."

She imagined this scene.

A monster appears, and Dan Moroboshi pilots Mecha Seven while Nagi Saijo and Megumi Kishida pilots the Flying Swallow II.

After defeating Mecha Seven and crashing the Flying Swallow II, the monster prepares to celebrate with champagne.

At this moment, Dan Moroboshi from Mecha Seven takes out his Ultra Glasses and transforms, while the four members of Flying Swallow 2 each summon parts of Dyna Zeon to combine into a giant robot and say to the monster, "Let's fight again."

Such a passionate state.

With everyone on the Victory Team able to unlock Stage 2, good days are coming.

Akane Shinjo: "No problem, it's decided then!"

She decisively gave up the opportunity, since Carmilla wasn't interested anyway, and they couldn't get everyone together for a long time.

Qi Ming also imagined that situation.

A closely cooperating team that usually fights against aliens the size of humans. When the aliens grow to gigantic size, they also pilot giant robots formed by combining their powers to continue the battle...

This feels so familiar... Is GUTS going to switch to a Super Sentai format?
Victory Team Five Rangers?
Furthermore, the Victory Team will have three robots on standby: MechSeven, Asgaron, and DynaZeon...

The GUTS team has been transformed into the Armory, Jugglus Juggler, look at the consequences you've caused!
Is this the change made to "keep up with the version" in order to deal with increasingly powerful enemies?
After compiling the test data, I returned to the command center in the mountains and felt the Christmas Eve atmosphere: "Tomorrow is Christmas, let's all celebrate the holiday together."

Kishida: "Don't always stay cooped up in the command room, how about we go out for a holiday and lighten the mood?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuan immediately became interested.

A festival on Earth? That's interesting.

Everyone looked at Qi Ming, who nodded: "After fighting for so long, it's time to enjoy a holiday."

Huimei: "But we can't all go out. Someone has to stay in the command room to prepare for any emergencies."

After all, Christmas is for humans, not monsters, and it's unlikely that monsters would deliberately stop working or cease fighting because of Christmas.

Saijo Nagi: "I'll stay."

She wasn't very interested in holidays, and it seemed that her sense of humor died out the moment she witnessed her parents' deaths.

She trains and works shifts as usual, regardless of holidays, preparing to fight the monsters.

As the team leader, Dan Moroboshi didn't want to see Nagi Saijo continue like this: "Let's decide by drawing cards. Whoever draws a Jack can stay."

After he shuffled the cards, the other team members rubbed their hands together and blew on them before nervously grabbing the cards.

Akane Shinjo: "My turn, draw a card!"

Saijo Nagi held out her hand: "I hope I draw a Jack."

Upon hearing this, Dan Moroboshi gave Jugglus a look.

Jugglus immediately understood, and after drawing the Jack card, he looked annoyed: "Is it me... What bad luck! I'll stay here to keep watch and organize the data. Have fun, everyone."

Having witnessed the whole thing, Qi Ming chose to see through it but not say anything.

In order to normalize Saijo Nagi, Moroboshi Dan specifically assigned her the task of purchasing holiday supplies.

Saijo Nagi frowned as she walked down the street. What... what do a group of people need when they go out to play?

How about shooting targets? Maybe when everyone gets excited, they'll want to have a shooting contest...

No, this seems to be the daily training that everyone except Qi Ming and Carmilla would do. They also have to do work projects on weekends. People might rebel.

Ask someone.

Saijo Nagi looked around and suddenly noticed an elderly man carrying a device acting suspiciously: "Old man, what are you doing?"

The old man replied, "I'm preparing to capture 'Eunice,' which will arrive at Christmas!"

Saijo Nagi was taken aback: "Yunigin, what is that?"

The old man said, "It's a mythical beast that can travel through time!"

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

Meanwhile, news about TPC was unexpectedly leaked.

The newly arrived "Manonians" learned that the entire GUTS team would be on vacation the next day and prepared to seize this opportunity.

Manon aliens originated from episode 37, "Flower," of Ultraman Tiga.

In the original series, while the GUTS team was out enjoying the cherry blossoms, they kidnapped the team's captain, Megumi Iruma, and tortured her in order to obtain the GUTS defense system.

In this world, they still have their eyes on the captain of the GUTS team—Dan Moroboshi—and plan to kidnap him when the GUTS team goes out together tomorrow.

A five-thousand-word chapter, that's quite a show of sincerity, isn't it?

Asking for a monthly ticket.

Finally, Omega aired its fourth episode today. What do you all think?
